Alistair had located food enough for dinner from the kitchens. The supplies there were looking a little low, and they'd been here long enough for it to be clear that the food wasn't replenishing itself. So that was worrisome. They would probably need to start rationing soon, something he undoubtedly should speak to Cullen about. Later.
Back in their room, he set out the bread and slightly mealy looking apples and cheese, and then made the bed, stoked the fire, went wandering through the castle and found a rather large bathtub (big enough for the both of them, he thought, if they squeezed a bit, which would certainly not be the worst thing in the world), which he succeeded in dragging back to their room with more effort than he was keen to admit to. He went and fetched water enough to fill it, figuring Neria could warm it whenever they felt like actually using it.
And then that was pretty much everything distracting he could find for himself to do. He supposed he could go and find Anders, or Sigrun, or even his king self, all of them would be pleasant enough conversation, but then Neria wouldn't know where he was, and he wanted to be here for when she came back. It served the double purpose of letting him know she wasn't back yet as well, so he could go down to those dungeons and stab that old bat in the face, if need be.
He perched on the edge of the bed and folded his hands in his lap and bounced up and down lightly with impatience.
He probably should have just insisted on going with her.

"Sometimes, while you were away, and I was imagining how I would touch you when I got you back, sometimes I'd think about you...telling me how to please you, commanding me. It's very...hmm..." He bit his lip.

Date: 2015-09-09 12:05 am (UTC)From:Neria gaited all the way to the bathtub, dipping a hand in the fresh water, fingertips shining with a fire magic to warm it. Once she was done, she settled on the bed edge, back turned to Alistair, stretching the wet hand away from her. She cleaned her throat and waited.

Date: 2015-09-09 12:35 am (UTC)From:"Yes, Commander," he mumbled, bowing his head. He crossed to grab one of the towels he'd set out on a chair by the tub earlier. Unfolding it with a flick of his wrist bordering on a flourish, he knelt in front of her and held it out meekly.
(OOC: Hmm, I should probably change the title and put in a few warnings..)

((ooc: yea, definitely.))

Date: 2015-09-09 01:02 am (UTC)From:He moved quickly when she spoke again, offering her his hand to hold as she stepped into the tub, reaching for a washcloth and the bar of soap as she got settled. He held up the soapy cloth a moment later, waiting for her to lean forward so he could get her back before he followed the second half of that command.

Date: 2015-09-09 01:30 am (UTC)From:The lithe muscles of her back twitches under his touch, especially when he reached a few ticklish spots, but she managed to held back the laughter by moaning and sighing instead, provoking him. "Ah, yes, right there." she purred when he scrubbed the middle of her shoulder blades, rolling her shoulders under his touch."
no subject
Date: 2015-09-09 01:37 am (UTC)From:This, though, pleasing her, touching her in ways that made her sigh - he'd already known what that did to him. He moved the cloth back to the spot between her shoulder blades, dragging it just slightly softer against her skin than before.

Date: 2015-09-09 01:56 am (UTC)From:"That's good enough." she leaned, resting her back in the tub, all of her naked body visible now, water running down her breasts. Stretching her right leg, she placed her heel over the edge. "Now, legs."
Her eyes were dark with desire, but she was holding the act far better than she expected. To tease him, to see him comply every order had an... appeal she had never really considered before.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-09 02:03 am (UTC)From:She had presented him with her foot, though, so it would probably be best to start there. He soaped the bottom of her foot and then lifted her leg, one big hand under her calf, and scrubbed down.

Date: 2015-09-09 02:13 am (UTC)From:She could see his arousal darkening his hazel eyes, could see how it stiffed his movements a bit, how he was holding himself, eager for her next order.

Date: 2015-09-09 02:50 am (UTC)From:It was surprisingly erotic, the feel of her firm muscles under his palms and her eyes intent on him, that smug smirk she was wearing.
He drew in a shuddering breath.

Date: 2015-09-09 03:06 am (UTC)From:"Go on, warden."

Date: 2015-09-09 03:21 am (UTC)From:He washed further down her leg, hazel eyes wide, a little afraid she would chastise him for breaking an order. His stomach flipped slightly at the thought, and it wasn't all a bad sort of flipping, either, which was...interesting.

Date: 2015-09-09 03:43 am (UTC)From:"An order so simple." she shook her head, disappointed, and she stood up "Hand me my towel. And take your clothes off."
no subject
Date: 2015-09-09 03:49 am (UTC)From:Alistair hurried to obey, draping the washcloth over the side of the tub, rocking back on his heels and standing to go and fetch the towel from where she'd tossed it aside with quick, jerky movements. He brought it back to her and waited until she took it before he took a step back and reached for the hem of his shirt, tugging it off and over his head, tossing it aside. He kicked off his boots and slid his trousers and smalls down over his hips, then stepped out of those too, and faced her again bare, his hands once more tucking themselves behind his back.
And normally he was completely comfortable with any level of undress around Neria, but this was different - he felt more exposed, more vulnerable, then he had in years. His cock, hard and flushed, bobbed up towards his abdomen.
