Even though I'd gone to bed at around 7:30 AM, I got up fairly early by my standards.
I mean, I was done with work forever, hopefully, which meant I was free and… living with Llewellyn in his penthouse. I didn't want to waste the day in bed.
This was new for me.
Normally I'd just want to sleep the day away until the next shift, so that I didn't have to think about my life too hard, but now I had stuff to look forward to.
As if on cue, as soon as Llewellyn came back from a walk with Lumos and Penguin and saw I was already up and getting a glass of water, he crowded me against the kitchen counter.
"Morning," he said, hovering close. "You're supposed to still be in bed."
"Maybe I didn't want to be in bed by myself," I said.
Llewellyn grinned. His gaze fell to my mouth.
"…"
I swayed into him and kissed him.
Llewellyn pressed me against the counter and slightly lifted the hem of my shirt, sliding his hand underneath, and… yeah, we were making out.
This was so great.
Llewellyn kissed down my throat.
"We have a dinner date tonight," he said—as if I'd forget that. "What are your plans before that?"
Plans? I tried to think of any, but he found my lips again. We were back to making out and I'd gone hot everywhere, so I was having trouble focusing.
"So?" Llewellyn asked after a few moments, back to trailing kisses down my throat.
I stared at the ceiling, my fingers in his hair. He really wasn't helping here.
"Core Partition," I said after a moment. "I should try and get through all of Gilded's mother books before giving them back. You can join me too if you like. I should probably visit Gran after that and… that's it?"
It was still early enough, so I definitely had time for both of those and our date.
"Sounds good," Llewellyn said against my skin. Then, hand slightly more possessive, "Come back to bed."
…Uh.
I tugged his head up and yanked him into a kiss.
***
We crashed on Llewellyn's bed, tugging each other's clothes off as we went down.
I got rid of his sweater while he unbuttoned my trousers, and a few seconds later we were finally naked and kissing desperately.
I took a vial out of my inventory and put it in Llewellyn's hand.
"Do it," I said.
Llewellyn pulled back from the kiss to look down at it.
"…"
Looked like I'd mussed up his hair quite badly and his lips were red.
Uh.
"I don't trust these all-in-one ones," Llewellyn said, frowning, looking like he'd just run it through the System.
"Let's try it this once," I said, kissing him again. "You can be thorough next time, if you're not convinced."
Llewellyn definitely didn't look convinced, but he also didn't look like he wanted to stop kissing to argue about this, so he seemed to decide to give my vial the benefit of the doubt.
He opened it and dipped his fingers in.
Yes, perfect. I didn't have the patience for him to go through three different vials right now.
His fingers found their way down and he pulled back to study my expression as he pushed in.
...I yanked him into another kiss, gasping.
Okay, yes, he was right; this vial wasn't as smooth as the others, but... it was another kind of good.
When Llewellyn finally slid in I moaned, shuddering.
"Are you sure you're rea—"
"Yeah," I said, shutting him up with a kiss. "Just go slow."
Llewellyn did, sliding in inch by inch. When he finally bottomed out, we both shuddered.
...Fuck.
Three vials or one vial, there wasn't a single thing about this I didn't like. Not one.
Llewellyn trapped my wrists above my head and sucked a mark on my throat, rolling his hips into me slowly.
I really was leaking everywhere, if he kept doing this kind of stuff it really wouldn't take me long to—
I let out a noise.
"Good?" Llewellyn asked, biting down on my earlobe.
"As if you can't feel that." I groaned.
I could feel him through the bond, so. I knew for a fact he could too.
Llewellyn grinned, humming. He tightened his hold around my wrists.
Fuck.
"You really like the wrist thing," he said in my ear, and thrust in, picking his pace up.
I came first, tugging at his hair, Llewellyn following up almost immediately after.
***
The problem was, now I didn't want to leave this bed, go anywhere, or do anything else.
Llewellyn snorted.
"That good?"
I spun us around and pinned him down, kissing him.
"Again, as if you don't know that."
Llewellyn grinned.
Damn.
His arms circled me and he pulled me down.
I swallowed.
I really didn't want to move.
"You don't have to move," Llewellyn replied. "You make a perfect blanket."
I snorted.
"Gran and I used to have weekly Dungeon and Realms games," I told Llewellyn, "but since this whole thing started I skipped two or three already. I really want to go today."
Technically she wasn't even expecting me at this point, probably, but that just made it worse.
"I see," Llewellyn said, pressing a kiss on my temple.
Uh.
He really was very at ease with this stuff. Why wasn't it as easy for me?
"You should go," he said. "I'd also go if my grandma was still around."
"You can join us sometimes, if you like. She keeps asking why I didn't bring you along."
Llewellyn grinned, looking happy.
"I'll join you next time; you should spend some time with her alone."
Mmh, well. I was going to bring Penguin, so it wasn't exactly like old times anyway, but I could see his point.
"Alright, here's the plan," I said. "We shower, relocate to my Core Partition with Penguin and Lumos, then I go and spend about four hours with Gran, come back, and, if you're not busy with anything, we can lounge around until it's time to get ready for our dinner date—or you can finish your thing and then we go. Sounds good?"
"Perfect," Llewellyn said, cupping my head and pulling me into a kiss.
Damn, he needed to stop or I really wouldn't move off this bed!
Anyway, I obviously kissed him back.
I kept dreading a System notification popping up announcing a new Distorted Realm, but… it seemed all good for now.
Better shower before anything went wrong though.
