Ascending Legends

[BookWyrm]

Dayn had been hooked, yet he didn't want to rush into things. Slowly Dayn snuggled up against Arryn, wrapping one arm around her while the other began to play in her hair as he leaned up to kiss her cheek and whisper, "You see, there is this amazing woman I married. She is stunningly beautiful, and such skill in some many things, yet she takes a lot of unnecessary burdens on her shoulders. I had planned on easing that burden, taking her mind off of things for the night."

 

[Dragongal]

"Mm, sounds like you're a good husband." Arryn turned just enough to see him out of the corner of her eye, then looked away from him again. For a moment, she closed her eyes to savor the feeling of his playing with her hair. He knew how to calm her down. "I'm sure she's a very lucky woman to have you."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn could feel Arryn relaxing and smiled. "On the contrary, I'm the lucky one. She is more than I deserve in a best friend, let alone a wife, which she is both to me. But it is because of that reason that I love and cherish her more deeply than she will ever know."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn glanced at Dayn again and sighed. "You are a master sweet-talker, you know that, right?"

 

[BookWyrm]

"I speak from my heart in this matter. The knowledge that it pleases you makes me joyous." Dayn pressed his face against the back of Arryn's neck as he held her. "I will never let you go."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn caved and moved around so she could face him before nestling her head into the crook of his neck. "I don't ever want you to."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn held Arryn close for several long minutes as he played with her hair and continued to whisper poetry in her ear. After a while though his tone began to shift as he lifted Arryn's chin so he could kiss her. It started out gentle and slow but as a fire it sparked and grew hotter as the flames intensified.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn had returned the kiss in full, but now pulled away to kiss along Dayn's neck and collarbone. She moved her free hand to gently brush along his throat. He'd gotten in some kisses earlier, now it was her turn.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn closed his eyes and sighed quietly as he focused on Arryn's kissing and caressing. He didn't stop playing with her hair, but he might have slacked off ever so slightly.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn pulled away and nuzzled against his cheek to give him a chance to breathe and refocus. He seemed to need it at the moment.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn relaxed as he shivered and rested his head on Arryn's. "How does it feel to finally be back in a real bed?"

 

[Dragongal]

"Wonderful. Absolutely fantastic." Arryn chuckled and nuzzled against his cheek some more. Yes travel was nice, but a real bed was wonderful.

 

[BookWyrm]

"I know right?", Dayn laughed as he started to work and knead Arryn's back, massaging away any stiff or sore muscles.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn immediately relaxed against him and sighed happily.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn continued to massage Arryn for a few more minutes before transitioning to gentle caress and kisses along anywhere he could find: neck, cheek, jaw, shoulder, arms, most especially kissing her lips.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn shivered lightly and wrapped her arms around Dayn's neck after one kiss on the lips. "You're a really good kisser, mo chroi."

 

[BookWyrm]

"I'm glad you approve.", Dayn chuckled before going right back to kissing Arryn.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn returned the kiss. Once she could pull away, she nuzzled against his neck a bit. "Mo chroi, you do know how to calm me down, I must give you that."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn stopped for a moment, savoring the feeling of Arryn's hair as he twirled it in his fingers. "When you commit your life to someone you learn how to please and care for them. If it means learning that rubbing your neck and playing with your hair are two things that calm and relax you, then I get an excuse to keep my hands on you."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn chuckled and kissed along his jaw a bit. "You spoil me, beloved. But I will gladly take the spoiling if you offer it."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn brushed his hand across Arryn's cheek and smiled. He knew he was captivated, and he didn't care one bit. "You know, back when that street woman walked up and was rather bluntly failing at seducing me, you gave me quite the shock by beating the tar outta her. Don't get me wrong, it was actually a bit of a turn on to have you fighting her off, but I mean...wow."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn giggled a bit like they were talking abut a simple happening. "I actually was going to slam her face into the street repeatedly, but I didn't want to scare you too much." Arryn kissed his cheek. "I have to have fun somehow." She pulled back and looked at him for a moment. Why were his eyes not icy yet?

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laughed and shook his head. "My beautiful spitfire." He'd been holding back so far, trying to see how long it would take before she caught on. She was playing hard to get earlier, so he figured he'd flip the table. "Something wrong hon? You look concerned."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn looked at him for a second, then shook her head. "I guess I'm just not attractive enough for you; your eyes haven't iced over." Arryn nuzzled against his neck a bit. "I guess that mean you don't want any attention." Arryn sighed sadly and rolled away from him. Now to see how long he'd last.

 

[BookWyrm]

In a different situation those comments might have cut Dayn straight to the bone. Still, even knowing she was playing hard to get, he was a slight bit hurt, but managed to push past it. "Alright then.", he said quietly as he settled in against her and pulled the covers up around them. He kissed the back of her neck before laying his head on her shoulder as he draped his arm across her. After a couple of minutes, though, he slipped his hand under her shirt to trace his fingers lightly over Arryn's side, at the same time he started to kiss the back of her neck again.
