Zevran had been behaving. This in itself was enough of a marvel. The fact that behaving in this case meant keeping his hands to himself and accepting whatever little crumbs of affection Alistair felt ready to give was...mind-boggling, truly.
But he could read the uncertainty in every line of Alistair's body, and he was remarkably patient despite his own claims to the contrary. So he kept his hands to himself, he didn't push, and he was patient.
...yet that didn't mean he intended to allow Alistair to ignore that spark between them. And now that some time had passed, it seemed the other man needed a reminder. A very pointed, very attractive, very naked reminder.
Which is why, when Alistair stepped into the bathing room at his usual time, it was already hot with steam. As if by pure accident, Zevran was standing from the large round bathing pool the moment Alistair stepped inside--back to him, dark lines of his tattoo swirling down his back, his flank, drawing the eye just as the rivulets of water sluicing along dusky skin drew the eye.
His hair was loose and damp, clinging to his (bare) shoulders. His (bare) ass, if Zevran did so say himself, was perfect. In fact, he would make a strong argument that all of him was perfect. He was betting on Alistair thinking the same.
Zevran looked over his shoulder as the door swung shut behind Alistair, knowing his muscles played beautifully beneath his skin. "Alistair," he murmured. Just that.

Date: 2015-09-05 10:05 am (UTC)From:He leaned his head back, looking at Zevran, the green in his eyes lost in the dark glaze of want. He looked dazed at how many words he'd managed to get out.

Date: 2015-09-05 08:18 pm (UTC)From:He released Zevran, and awkwardly toed his boot off the back of one heel, then he had to balance, fumble to get it off with one hand, then the other. He was managing very well considering his knees had started to quake and he wasn't sure he could feel his extremities.
Well, one of them he could definitely feel. Once his bare feet were on the wet floor he returned his gaze to Zevran and pushed his pants down over his hips. No smalls. Why bother, he was just coming to bathe, and now... well that seemed rather dirty minded he realized. His cheeks and ears burned.

Date: 2015-09-05 08:28 pm (UTC)From:Oh, nice. Very, very nice.
Looking up through his lashes, nothing but heat in his eyes, Zevran leaned closer and brushed the very tip of his tongue across the sensitized head of Alistair's cock, teasing the slit for just an instant before he sat back on his heels again, licking his lips.

Date: 2015-09-06 08:13 pm (UTC)From:As he kissed he settled let his hands roam, the water supporting part of Zevran's weight, so his fingers were free to explore. The dip of his waist, the angle of his shoulder blades, the firm swell of his ass. He filled both of his broad, calloused hands with that warm, supple flesh, and gave into the impulse to suck harder against the soft join of Zevran's shoulder, mouth becoming demanding as his fingers bit in a way that was almost possessive.

Date: 2015-09-06 08:20 pm (UTC)From:He didn't give into theatrics--he didn't want Alistair to think this was a game to him--but he let himself breathe out a sigh or arch sinuously forward or moan.
And then, then Alistair became rough, he shuddered and strained to get closer, nails suddely digging into those broad, freckled shoulders. "Ah!" Zevran cried, bucking his hips against Alistair's. "Alistair, yes." And, knowing sometimes it helped to beg prettily: "Please."

Date: 2015-09-06 08:58 pm (UTC)From:His teeth bit into the join of Zevran's shoulder and neck, a hard nip, and a sharp scrape that he closed the slick, wet heat of his mouth over immediately, a noise of need and apology in his throat. He managed, somehow to find the shaped seat on the edge of the pool and settled into it, the water rising to their chests.

Date: 2015-09-06 09:02 pm (UTC)From:It helped, Zevran figured, to build those positive feedback loops. Not to mention he loved the feel of Alistair's cock in his hand, thick and straining and hot against his fingers as he stroked him with just the right amount of pressure.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-06 09:28 pm (UTC)From:He wanted more of that. More touch and skin and taste and wicked tongue. He raised a hand to the back of Zevran's head and caught him in a rough kiss, teeth catching Zevran's lip, then his tongue in a gentle scrape, before claiming his mouth with his own tongue, lapping deep and relentlessly.

Date: 2015-09-06 10:37 pm (UTC)From:He was a coiled spring of desire, of pleasure, he wasn't going to last long, and he wasn't sure if he should try to tamp it back. It was wildfire under his skin, this want he'd been torturing himself with for weeks.

Date: 2015-09-07 12:41 am (UTC)From:"Yes," Zevran breathed, voice shaking. "Ah, Alistair, yes. Later, I wish you to press me down against the mattress. I wish you to bite along my shoulders, my back, as your fingers spread me open for your cock. Oh, how you will feel as you push inside me, fuck me, take me, claim me, hands holding my hips steady as you slide deeper and deeper--"

Date: 2015-09-07 01:20 am (UTC)From:He pressed a kiss to the corner of Zevran's jaw that was terribly tender for how hard his hands were gripping, one in his hair, one on his hip. He let his fingers rake along the crack of his ass, the scrape of callouses only, his nails trimmed too close to bite.
"Zev- Zevran I'm going to... Please-" He wasn't sure what he was asking for, though this never, ever stopping might be nice.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-07 02:11 am (UTC)From:He was a wild thing, giving up his usual graceful control, allowing Alistair to see him raw and shuddering and vulnerable. More than anything he wanted to Alistair to know he trusted him that much. "Love you, please."
