[ While he doesn't fumble and stutter completely, there's still a certain pause to his touches, moments where he needs to adjust, or slow down before he gets carried away. It's not a lack of skill so much as just having been so long since he's been with someone, and on top of that, how fond he is of Rowena.
So once or twice he pulls back on a certain touch, adjusts slightly, gives Rowena and himself both a moment to take things slow, not get carried away in the heat of it all. His hand first slides up her torso, tugging her gown up her body, intent on getting it out of the way. He leans back just enough to admire her as well, leaning down for a brief kiss as his palm marks a pathway down her front, over the swell of her breast and the dip of her stomach, thumb tracing along the line of her underwear. ]
( getting her nightgown off is probably a clumsier task than getting it on was, and though she lifts with him as she can to help the restriction in her movements is frustrating. but he doesn't judge anything, and as his hand descends on her, the look he gives her fills her with warmth again and makes her forget any frustration.
at least until he teases over her underwear, causing her to grumble slightly )
Please get them off me.
( she'd let him tease her with his hand after that but that last piece of clothing was frustrating at this point. even if she wasn't complaining about his pyjama pants )
[ He doesn't know if it's the words, the way she says them, or that little grumble she breathes out impatiently, but it gets Erik to laugh quietly, his head tipping slightly so he can press his lips to her cheek and jaw, humming as he nuzzles against her ear. ]
Wasn't aware you were in a rush.
[ But he does as told quickly enough, hooking his thumb over the fabric, then pushing it down her to her knees, his hips lifting up and his weight propped onto his knees so she can help wiggling and kicking those panties down the rest of the way. His palm plants against the inside of her leg then, dragging up her inner thigh, squeezing the flesh gently as if it's a reward for when she spreads her legs for him again. ]
( she breathes out a sigh of relief as he tugs her panties down, and whilst she's trying to limit her magic as she recovers it's definitely magic she uses to nudge them the rest of the way off.
but it lets her focus again on him, solely on him, her breath catching as his hand skims up her thigh, legs parting for him. it surprises her how much she's enjoying just being touched by him, and maybe it's because she's been in affectionateless situations that she isn't used to it. feeling doted on just by how his hand moves over her, the look that he gives her, rowena holds it in her mind as she closes her eyes, her heart softening )
I'm not in a rush-- ( though she certainly sounds it. truthfully, she'd let him keep touching her like this for a while longer, enjoying it immensely ) I just wanted to check you remember where to put everything.
( not that she's worried, given how heavily teasing her tone is )
[ He can't fault her for the use of magic, he feels equally impatient and it's a relief to just get layer of fabric out of the way that much more easily. But it's her teasing words that keep holding his attention, still a wide grin on his face, though the sound he lets out is closer to a purr than a laugh this time. ]
Oh, I remember exactly where everything goes.
[ Words murmured against her jaw, teeth gently nipping on skin just as his hand settles between her legs, two of his fingers curling and parting her folds, stroking her already wet flesh. ]
[ The reaction is everything he could have wanted, and the sound she lets out is like music to his ears. It prompts him to move his hand more purposefully, fingers rubbing against her, the hell of his thumb pressing against her clit as he pushes two digits inside her.
His head lifts again at her coaxing, tilting so he can slot his lips over hers. The kiss is deep, heated, a moan spilled into her mouth as his hand works her at a pace, steady but intent, patience running thinner with how lovely she feels. ]
( everything's lit up as he touches her as if erik knows everything about her, as if they've been lovers for a long time and they're enjoying each other yet again. his fingers slide into her, thumb pressed over her clit, and her breath catches, hands gripping gebtly at him. she's had good sex, she's had great sex, but none of it was recently and he was very quickly reminding her what that felt like.
as his pace picks up she moans into his mouth, glad he'd chosen quicker, hips lifting in gentle motions to try and meet him, though it ends up becoming just his fingers working her, the little lifts of her hips too much to sustain.
not that it matters when he's rubbing at her in the right places, finding where brings out those higher sounds from her, what gets his name drawn out. and when she comes it's with his name on her lips, head pressed firm into the pillow, and her expression settles into one of pure bliss )
[ He said he might be a little out of practice, not that he'd forgotten all of it entirely. Even if he struggled, one thing he does know, and that is, anything that gets a good reaction is something he should be doing again.
So he focuses on that, taking the brief lifting of her hips as encouragement, finding a pace and angle that gets the most sounds from her, that makes her breath hitch and increase in intensity. His own breath comes a little warm and short, but right now he's just ignoring his own arousal, intent on taking her there first.
When she comes, his fingers push in deeper, hand grinding against her more presently as she rides out that wave of pleasure. He lets out a soft moan of his own, body heating up and breath hitching himself at simply feeling the way she falls apart in his arms. When she starts to come down, he presses his lips over hers, smiling when he pulls away. ]
( the kiss is a nice guide back to him, a direction through her bliss and she looks up at him with a smile when he pulls away, a gentle laugh from her )
I think you oversold it.
( and maybe keeping the bar lower makes it all better, making it that much more enjoyable when it is fantastic, with no expectation to hold it to.
she reaches for his other hand, drawing it to her to kiss the back of it, a rare softer gesture )
I'm glad we didn't pause.
( and the warmth and pleasure of her orgasm is helping to soothe any pain she found from the rocks of her hips )
[ He hums with some amusement, smiling as she kisses his hand, brushing her cheek with the back of his fingers. His other hand slides from between her legs, sinking to the mattress next to her hip. ]
As am I.
[ Not that they couldn't have waited for another time, once she was fully recovered, but she seems to be doing perfectly fine now and he's not going to regret this now when, if anything, that orgasm seems to have almost helped with her discomfort. ]
( the softness of his touch against her cheek makes something flutter in chest that she's unused to, and strange as it is it's a nice feeling, something she doesn't question. if he's drawing it from her she wants to feel it.
and maybe, cheekily, its why he'll feel his pants shift, her fingers slipping beneath his waistband, brushing just lightly over his hip, slowly around to his front, though not yet reaching to his cock, as much as she feels it between them )
[ She's not going to hear any complaints on his end, his hips moving to gladly help her along with ridding him of his trousers. He's perfectly fine with taking things slow, even if she didn't want to do anything more right now he could live with it, but he'd be lying if he said he wouldn't love some relief right about now.
It's a start once the fabric is out of the way, and he lets out a soft sigh, his cock brushing against her leg even without him getting too close. With how hard (and big) he is, it's kind of inevitable. ]
Mm, that's better.
[ He slides a hand down her side, not really with a goal in mind, he just likes to touch her and wants to keep doing that. ]
( and there shouldn't be any doubt in his mind about what exactly she means. even if they didn't fuck immediately she'd like his cock in her. relief for him, a good sensation for her... and more touching.
though rowena's hand drifts up his stomach he'll feel a light sensation spread down his body, a gentle wisp of her magic that's more like a shiver through him, stretching from where her fingers draw down to his cock )
[ Oh, he knows exactly what she means, and it's equally on his mind, he won't lie. He can't say he was quite expecting magic to be added to the mix, but when he feels that warm tingle down from her fingers to his erection, he lets out a low, shuddered moan, a shiver rolling down his spine.
He bends his head again to kiss down her neck and shoulder, and his hand curls on her thigh, squeezing the flesh while his hips sink down, just enough to lightly brush against her hip, still determined to take his time until she can handle more again. ]
( the magic fades when he kisses her, rowena trying not to draw too much, still weakened from the previous day. and he's easily distracting her as she moans into his mouth as his hips press against hers.
she draws her other hand to rest on his, kissing him again with more hunger, but the contact is only brief before her fingers reach between them, sliding around his erection as her thumb rubs a light circle against him )
[ It's more than enough to draw a sharp gasp from him, his whole body trembling and going tense, kiss broken for that brief moment. He kisses her again, more hungrily, and his hips promptly push towards her touch, while his hand squeezes her leg, then slowly moves over it, fingertips stroking along her inner thigh again. ]
( his hips jut towards her and her hand drifts lower along his length, her hips lifting to meet him as she breaks the kiss )
I'm okay.
( it's a gentle reminder, that she's okay to keep going, that she's okay with this, a comment on her injury and that she's ready. she tilts her head to look at his eyes again, guiding him to her )
[ The last thing he wants is to cause her discomfort, but he doubts she would let him continue if she wasn't enjoying herself. He trusts her to tell him to stop if it gets to be too much, and so when she tells him she's alright, he simply nods, holding her gaze as his hips shift closer to her.
That contact breaks when he sinks into her, feeling that heat that swallows the length of him. He groans and his eyes close, the immediate surge of pleasure making his spine arch and his eyes roll just a little, head dipping to bury into her neck as he focuses on pushing in deeper, pausing once he feels he's gone as far as he can without causing pain. ]
( though she'd felt him pressed against her it's something else as he slides into her, feeling each inch of him with the slow roll of his hips. her eyes close, a higher sound as he nestles deep in her, and it has rowena reaching for one of his hands.
she guides it to her thigh, sliding it up as high as she can comfortably manage, and as rowena opens her eyes again she presses their hands to her, a silent ask for him to hold her there, to keep her leg in place. it doesn't hurt her, she just doesn't know if she can manage it alone )
I don't know if I'll get used to this. ( it's whispered, and her smile pokes it as a light joke rather than some raw honesty. even if there's some truth to it ) Though if it means sleeping with you is like this every time that's okay.
( and that's before he starts. but he feels good, she feels good, and the care he's already shown her has been huge. she wants this, him, and is glad it's him. she didn't know she wanted it until it was there, but maybe a relationship will be what she needs )
[ Her words distract him, but in a good way, helping him relax further and actually chuckle for the brief moment he takes to pause and let her adapt to the feeling.
He tips his head, planing a warm kiss to the corner of her lips, following her guidance and taking hold of her thigh with a firm hold. It's a good angle like this, still easy but allowing him closer to her, and he sucks in a breath as he rocks his hips gently. ]
Mm, I aim to please, [ He murmurs, though there's every chance that sleeping together won't mean sex every single time. He's very fine with both scenarios, though right now he's very glad for the turn it has taken this time around. ]
( she tilts her head to kiss him again, moaning into his mouth at the steady rock of his hips.
he's right more than he knows: he does please. they could lay just like this for a while and she'd be a very happy woman, and maybe in the future she'll prompt it, her legs wrapped around him, exploring each other with touch and kisses as his cock sits in her, before she turns them to fuck him. it's a nice idea that crosses her mind for when she's healed.
but for now, it's a different thing, and she's accepted that it'll be led more by him, that she's only capable of so much. not that she doubts he'll get them to come anyway, or that it'll be enjoyable. and it's still learning what they both enjoy, learning each other, and building something between them.
she slides her hand from his to run across him, resting it between them in the middle of his chest, kissing slowly at his neck )
[ Even though he'd rather she wasn't dealing with the soreness of her injuries, it is admittedly nice that their first time being intimate happens like this. He needs to be careful, and she has little choice but to let him take the lead, but it prompts a slow pace, a shared warmth that only draws them closer to one another, a unique sort of intimacy that they wouldn't find so easily if the pace was harder and more intense.
He tilts his head, letting out a soft breath while she kisses down his neck. His hand drags across her thigh, squeezing just behind her knee as he hikes her leg a little higher, and his hips rock again, breaths short and quietly audible as he lets the heat of her envelop him, sending sparks of pleasure up his spine. ]
( the shift of his hips is slow but it lets her feel every inch of him as he moves. her kisses pause as her breath catches, letting her hand slide higher to rest against his neck as her head presses back against the pillow.
his name falls murmured from his lips, quiet pleasure, her eyes closing in response to the feel of him in her.
her hand slides higher to the back of his head again, lightly nudging him back down to her neck, her back arching in pleasure )
[ The slower pace allows him to shift and adjust, making sure to keep his weight propped up so he doesn't sink down on top of her or make her injuries worse. The way she gasps and breathes, the warmth of his name on her lips, he takes that all as a sign that she's feeling nothing but pleasure, encouraging him to deepen his thrusts, gasping a little more sharply as his hips press flush and he buries deeper inside her.
His hand clutches at her thigh, fingers sinking into flesh, hiking her leg up and keeping her hips at that lovely angle that allows him to get closer to her. His lips latch onto her throat, teeth dragging down the skin of her neck, each kiss broken up by a warmer, shorter breath as he moves to a steadier, more purposeful pace. ]
