Arthur and Merlin's Room, Llanuwchllyn

[bitchprince]

There had been plans made earlier in this holiday, and Arthur was finally back to himself - and prepared - enough to go through with it. Which is why Merlin and Arthur had finally excused themselves and headed towards one of the bedrooms with en-suite.

Far out of hearing range.

Now, Arthur was fiddling with the restraints he'd gotten. Just strips of fabric, really, but Merlin wasn't exactly a pioneer of strength. "All right then."

He'd long since learned that trying the seduction routine on Merlin would only lead to tears, so he'd keep it simple.

[[ ... all NWS, obviously ]]

Arthur skimmed past his lips eventually, murmuring, "You all right?" into his ear.

He wasn't stopping yet.

"Mmhmm," Merlin replied quickly, nodding to show that he was. Just a bit of adlkjfaskldjf there. That was all.

[bitchprince]

Arthur nodded back, and--

That was the rest of the way. There.

He groaned low against Merlin's cheek, halting to let him get used to it.

The stretch was more like a dull burn, but it was getting better now that Arthur had paused. Merlin shifted slightly, digging his heels into Arthur's back. "Good--good."

[bitchprince]

"Ready?"

He had to be sure. He pressed a kiss to Merlin's cheek while he was there, trying to think of rain or Gaius or... anything that wasn't particularly attractive.

Sorry, Gaius.

...Arthur was just so luck that Merlin wasn't privy to those thoughts.

"One--more moment," Merlin replied, strained still.

[bitchprince]

Arthur was just trying to keep from moving.

Which was difficult.

He brought up a hand to run along Merlin's arm up to his wrist, soothing motions that were meant to help. Or something.

He also just liked Merlin's arms.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

They were nice and... scrawny.

"You." Merlin took a breath. "Now?"

[bitchprince]

Scrawny, but sort of--

Oh, shut up, you were bonkers if you thought Arthur was going to be coaxed into waxing poetic about Merlin's arms, in narrative or elsewhere.

Instead, he was grateful to let go of what he'd been having to hold in his head for the past minute or so, and moved.

It was still a gentle thrust, for all that, and he pressed his face into the crook of Merlin's neck.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin hummed encouragingly in response, nodding his head as though Arthur could see it where he was. "You--can move now."

[bitchprince]

"I caught on to that," Arthur said, the words wrangled from somewhere deep in his throat. He moved again, faster this time, and shifted his hips.

Merlin took a little more work to get off with this act, but Arthur was nothing if not determined.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Heeeey. It was hardly Merlin's fault, you know.

But right now he was just a bit distracted as Arthur brushed that spot again, causing him to gasp and arch his back as much as possible in this position. Arthur was just lucky it was comfortable bed.

[bitchprince]

Arthur wasn't blaming him. Arthur was just hypercompetitive and that did things to your brain.

Like rock his hips into Merlin again with more force, confident he had the angle handled now.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Arthur."

Another little gasp as Merlin gripped the restraints for some sort of support.

"C'mon."

[bitchprince]

And now he could sort of let go of the obsessive need to make sure Merlin felt good to focus a bit on himself. As it were.

Arthur shut his eyes and chose a rhythm, not quite fast yet, but enough to draw another groan from him. He tried to muffle it against Merlin's neck, but that wasn't very succesful.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin answered that with a groan of his own. "More," He muttered, eyes closed and focusing on the noises Arthur was making.

[bitchprince]

"As you wish," he snarked again, panting across Merlin's shoulder as he drove in again. "God."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Gripping the fabric tighter, Merlin bit his lip. "Yes..."

[bitchprince]

While he still had the clarity of mind to do something like it, Arthur shoved his hand between them to rub over Merlin's length. It was an awkward angle, but it was only fair. Or... something.

"Merlin," he murmured, shutting his eyes and losing himself for a few scant seconds. Maybe longer.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

He thought it was awkward? Try being the one on his shoulders!

But, you know. The hand was nice. Shaky little gasp kind of nice. "C'mon."

[bitchprince]

Arthur's eyes flickered back open. He curled his hand once, stroking up, then pulled it away again to snag Merlin's hips and drive in deeper. "God," he said again, swallowing. "You--"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Please..." Arthur was just so lucky that Merlin was polite during sex. Because he wasn't most other times.

[bitchprince]

Not ever, he meant.

Arthur ran his hands up along Merlin's thighs, a little unsteadily until he had to give up on it, shifting some more to allow him to take a hold of his length again.

"With me," he groaned. They'd hit the displaced-sentence-fragment part of these equations pretty fast.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin nodded in agreement, humming something nonsensical now. He might have agreed to about anything as long as Arthur didn't take his hand away from his cock again.

Because it was all sorts of lovely.

[bitchprince]

Now that was a good thing to remember next time Merlin made a pest out of himself...

Arthur had given up on keeping his mouth shut, but he still - methodically - bit down on his lip every time anything loud wanted to escape. He had a single-minded focus going on right now. A bit like battle.

Except a great deal more pleasant.

He was quickly losing track of his mind entirely as his hand began to move, sliding up and down.
