[ 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. ]
( her breaths become heavier at his touch, the nips of his teeth against her, the drive of his hips against her. as his pace picks up it prompts a longer, higher sound from her, his name floating on the end, gasping at the quicker feel of him working through her.
she slides her hand down his neck, a light score of her nails against his spine, and pressing her heel into the bed she slowly draws her other leg up, bracketing his hips with her legs. she uses her own pressure to try and hold the position this time, moaning deeper at the shift in angle as he thrusts again, a whispered keep going falling from her lips )
[ He wouldn't need her telling him to keep going, but to get those words from her, breathless as they are, each warm sound he drags out of her with the rocking of his hips, still only serves to heighten his own pleasure, turning his own breaths into more audible moans, louder the closer he feels himself to his climax.
There's still a certain paced care to it, because he doesn't want to hurt her, but his eagerness is almost palpable now, restraint a much harder task the closer he gets. He whispers her name softly, sweetly, nipping at her skin and nuzzling against her neck, whole body trembling with each deep thrust, pressing her down harder onto the bed each time he buries himself deep. ]
( the shift of her leg helps press him in more, lifting her slightly to him, and each thrust presses perfectly in her. her hand slides back to his shoulder, clutching as she feels herself get closer, tight around him.
when his pace picks up that slightest, still careful but needier, it's what she needed. her head presses firmer into the pillow, his thrusts pressing into her, and his name sounds a little beg from her. not that she needs to, coming a few thrusts later, her nails pressing into him as her hand grasps him tightly.
rowena whispers his name again as he works through her orgasm, softer, more tender, and her expression is peaceful in her bliss. as her hand relaxes, as she relaxes, she guides it back to his head, just lightly resting it there, basking in how really good sex feels. this part has been a long time )
[ At some point it becomes more of a chase than simply taking his time, when pleasure build and makes his body heat up and his head swim, sparks traveling across his skin. He reaches his climax with a burst of light blurring his vision, a soft cry as he spills inside her, his hand clutching her that much tighter to him.
His pace stays steady, if a little harsher each time he pushes inside, but still far from frantic or demanding. She feels good like this— better than good, she feels perfect, and going slow makes ihm feel that much closer to her now, as they both bask in the high of their orgasms. ]
( her fingers curl, knuckles brushing softly over his cheek before she leans up to kiss him. she kisses him slowly again, her touch light, not wanting to pull back from this moment. it's been a long time since she's felt so content with a person she's just had sex with, though it's been a long time since anyone had given rowena a reason to feel content. intimacy like this, she could certainly grow to enjoy.
resting her head back on the pillow, she smiles at him, a more open smile than he'll have seen before )
Are you staying here for a while?
( she knows it's his bed but she would also very happily curl back up and go to sleep against him after that. who needs to face the day?
she does also have an excuse of resting and recovering )
[ He tips his head to return the kiss, just as slow and warm, feeling his whole body relax after that release. This position isn't going to be comfortable for long, though, especially for her, so he carefully moves, sliding out of her with a groan so he can lie down on his side next to her, one leg still slipped between hers and an arm looped across her waist. ]
I have no plans for today.
[ He'll gladly just stay in bed for however long she likes. But— ]
Can't say for certain if my roommate will show up at some point.
Well, I certainly don't plan to go anywhere for a while.
( and whilst there were several things that rowena would like to do with her day, both magical and normal. a walk would be nice, though rowena knew that after the previous day, he wouldn't let her if she suggested it. her body also wouldn't let her )
Though you may have to help me back to my room later.
( because whilst she'd gotten herself from her room to his the previous night it hadn't been the easiest. and it's an excuse to stay in his company longer )
[ Said in a soft murmur, while he plants a few gentle kisses along her jaw and neck. ]
Or you could just stay here.
[ For the day, or the next night, or until she's well enough to be on her own two feet again. He'll kick his roommate out if he has to, he doesn't give a fuck. ]
( she melts slightly under his kisses, and if she weren't recovering, she would probably roll him onto his back. next time )
I hope you don't have any ideas.
( lightly teasing, because she knows he means to rest, so he can ensure she's alright. she'd love to do more in his bed that day, but that could stay a nice dream )
Though I wouldn't want you to tire of my company too quickly.
( and she doesn't know if it would feel awkward just lounging in his bed rather than her own )
[ That draws a soft chuckle from him, nuzzling against her cheek before he settles his head on the pillow. ]
Just enjoying your company. And getting you some much needed rest.
[ He certainly doesn't need sex to make any moment they share special, though he knows she's only teasing. ]
What if I tell you if I do tire of your company? [ He's nothing if not direct and pragmatic, and he likes to think they would both be honest if they just need to retreat to their own privacy at some point. He wouldn't take it to heart, and he knows Rowena wouldn't either. ] Until then, I see no reason why you should leave.
( she's warmed by the statement, knowing it's honest and true. rowena's nod in return shares that same honesty, her belief in him that he would let her know if something was wrong without worrying about it. it's perhaps the first time she's believed something like this and not worried about the perception of her )
Then I'll stay.
( she skims her hand across him until she can find his hand, linking their fingers together )
And I would be very content resting here for now. Though later I may need a favour of you. A book or two.
( she didn't expect him to sit with her for every minute but they also may have wanted to spend some time on their own thing. besides, she'd find that some of her research interests overlapped with his )
[ He's safe in the knowledge that she will let him know if she needs to have her own space for a while. There's no concern on his end that she may tire of his presence because he knows she'll let him know before it gets to that point. ]
Well, you can take your pick. [ He gestures to the volumes currently on the table nearby. ] Or I can go fetch you another one, if you're hoping for a different topic.
[ He pulls her in closer, a gentle tug so he won't hurt her. ]
Good, because I definitely don't feel like moving right now.
[ Not that he thought she was trying to get him to, not when she's curled up against him so warmly. He'll gladly fetch her more books and her journal later, maybe even some food, but for now, getting a bit more sleep cuddled up with her sounds wonderful. ]
( her head tucks under his chin, and rowena rests a hand against his chest. though they talk a little more their words fade, content laid against the other, with rowena drifting back to sleep against him. she's warm and comfortable, content against him and she sleeps easily.
when she wakes it's a couple of hours later, well-rested after that nice additional piece of sleep. though some of her soreness has returned, partly from how she'd been laid as she slept, having turned slightly more onto her side.
there's a slight hiss with her movement as she eases herself back onto her back )
[ Erik has always been a light sleeper, and it doesn't take much for him to wake once she does. He still doesn't open his eyes, adjusting only to allow her freedom of movement when she shifts, but when she lets out that hiss, he slowly cracks his eyes open, head lifting from the pillow as he looks her over. ]
[ He lifts his arm just enough to give her freedom of movement, letting her settle on her back. While still close, he's a little more careful now, his arm resting more lightly across her waist. ]
Well, I'd say I'm sorry, but...
[ He trails off with a soft chuckle, leaning in to press a kiss just below her ear. ]
