Ascending Legends

[Dragongal]

Arryn shuddered as Dayn kissed her, but she wasn't going to stop him. That was always his promise, and she loved it, always. She'd have returned it, but she found herself at a complete loss of words

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn had lost himself in the moment, his heart pounding against his chest as if some beast threatened to tear it's way out of him as he kissed Arryn and caressed her neck. With his free hand he had gently began to trace circles around on the side of her stomach. If it hadn't been for the sudden pang in his back, causing him to wince, he would have continued further. But the pang became a spasm, and the spasm a full on cramp as his back protested in some last grand scheme before it finally yielded to a full healing. Dayn grimaced in pain as he laid his head against Arryn's shoulder, his body tense with lingering pain as it slowly came to rest against her's. Hel take this damned back. "I'm sorry love."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn wrapped her arms around Dayn, one hand behind his head, her other hand around his back. She took this as a chance to catch her breath and stop the shuddering in her body. She used her magic to ease the pain on his back as she gently ran her fingers down to his cheek, lightly caressing his skin to distract him from the pain and give him something nice to focus on. "Shh, love, it's alright."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn tucked his head against her, grimacing as the tight muscles were slowly worked out by Arryn's magic. He managed to catch his breath, noting that he had been holding it since the cramps started, and his heart had slowed down more. He closed his eyes, focusing on Arryn's touch as he tried to relax. Despite her reassurance, Dayn felt like he had accidentally cheated Arryn out of a nice morning. He groaned quietly despite wanting to keep his complaining to a minimum. His back throbbed as the cramp finally released him from it's grip as he sighed in both relief and frustration. Dayn let his whole body relax and ease into Arryn's comforting arms. "I'm sorry love." His words carried the tinge of disappointment and frustration. "I didn't mean for....." Dayn sighed again, his head coming to rest beside Arryn's. He couldn't have predicted that his back was going to cramp up then, but again he couldn't help but feel bad about stopping in the middle of that.

 

[Dragongal]

"Sh, Dayn. It's okay. Just relax. It's probably best that I get a chance to catch my breath." Arryn turned her head and kissed his cheek before nuzzling against him, letting him know she wasn't upset.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Mm." Dayn leaned his head gently against Arryn's as she nuzzled him, finally listening to his wife and relaxing as she held him. Despite feeling a little cheated and frustrated Dayn had to admit that he enjoyed the feeling of her arms around him. He gently brushed the back of his fingers against Arryn's neck in response to her caressing his cheek. If nothing more than he would continue on in this fashion.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled as he brushed against her neck, enjoying the feeling of the goosebumps creeping over her skin in response. "You really are stubborn. I like it. Sometimes. Not when you overexert yourself, but now, I like it."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn felt a tired smile come over his face. "I try love." Dayn chuckled lightly as he continued to brush against Arryn's neck. Stubborn, he could see that. Again this was just him wanting to be close to her, and try to make up for the whole deal with the cramp in some way. "I aim to please."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn moved around a bit and leaned forward, gently kissing Dayn's neck while running her fingers lightly over her throat before leaning back again and returning her hand to brushing his cheek, smiling coyly as she did so.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn felt the goosebumps ripple over his skin, following closely behind Arryn's fingers as they traced over his throat. He leaned his head around, eyeing Arryn as she smiled at him. The corner of his mouth turned up slightly as he shook his head, laughing quietly. "You are a coy wolf, but I love it."

 

[Dragongal]

"As long as you like it," Arryn said with a laugh. At least the pain didn't seem to be bothering him that much anymore, that was reassuring.

 

[BookWyrm]

"But how couldn't I?" Dayn adjusted his position so that he could look at her better but still let her caress his cheek. "You come by it so naturally, and that smile is absolutely irresistible."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled before kissing his cheek. "Aw love. Pretty words. I like them." She gently took his chin and raised his lips to hers as she leaned in to kiss him.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn found some respite in the touch of her lips against his. "I hoped you would. They are from my heart after all." Dayn stretched out the fingers that he had been brushing against her neck and gently ran them up to her ear before circling around it.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn sighed and leaned her forehead against his, her eyes closed and her hands still as she savored the feeling. "You know me too well. "

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn smiled as he continued to trace around Arryn's ear before gently cupping her cheek with his hand and kissing her lips. He pulled back and rolled off to her side, his hand held out to her to help her lay over and get comfortable. "I take pride in knowing my wife, and what pleases her."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn took his offered hand and adjusted her position, moving so that her head lay on his chest. After a few seconds she decided that that wasn't good enough, so she nestled her head under his chin, smiling as she nuzzled against his neck.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn was beaming as Arryn curled up with her head under his chin. If he was honest with himself he liked it more than he liked her laying against his chest. His arms found their normal places around her as he sighed contently. It wasn't much longer before sleep took him.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn woke up in the late evening. She looked tiredly up at Dayn and smiled, nuzzling against his neck lightly to wake him up.

 

[BookWyrm]

"Hmm?" Dayn opened his eyes, smiling as he looked down at Arryn. He relaxed back into the mattress when he realized that she was just waking him up. "You are getting really creative with those. I like it."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn laughed quietly and gently kissed his cheek. "I'm glad, love." This was nice, just talking and cuddling. Being warm together, close, just sweet talking.

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn laid a hand gently against Arryn's neck and started to rub his knuckles lightly across it. He was content just to relax, cuddle, and be warm with her until his body had fully healed itself. Besides, Arryn was recovering from Mana drain, so it wouldn't do to rush back out into the fray until they were both ready for it. "I used to hate downtime. I felt locked up, almost like I couldn't breath if I was confined to indoors or bed ridden for a time. Now though," he leaned down and kissed Arryn's cheek, "I don't mind it."

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn to his hand in hers, lacing her fingers between his. "I'm glad I improve your free time, love." She kissed him and then cocked her head to the side with a smile. "You improve all of my time, you know."

 

[BookWyrm]

Dayn couldn't help but smile when Arryn laced her fingers with his own. "I didn't just mean my free time love." Gods she looks so adorable when she does that.

 

[Dragongal]

Arryn smiled coyly. "Good." She kissed him lightly, falling into it more every second as they lingered, slowly kissing him more sensuously. She ran her fingers through his hair just lightly - she didn't want to distract him.
