RP: Aria (lavellanfadewalk) ((NSFW content further down))

[blackwall_fadewalk]

Skyhold. He was back in- but the sky…

Sometimes Sera had the absolute right of it. Fucking magic shite.

Blackwall sighed, choking up a tad on the bit of chair leg. There was the feeling of Darkspawn or other Wardens in the distance. Supposed to be someday he’d be able to tell the difference. Didn’t do him much good now.

The hold was empty. Not even wind to make the trees move. Like the air just before the storm broke. Unsettling.

He paced along the battlements one foot at a time. No one else around ‘less they were sneakier than him. Not like that was hard. His Warden armour made enough noise to cover a snowfleur’s approach. The next tower was the one the Inquisitor had refitted for the Mages. Couldn’t hurt to have a quick look. Some mageling may have hid in there and could tell him what in the Blighted Void was going on.

The west door opened with only a small creak.

She unrolled her back and moved closer, straddling his legs again. One hand rested over his shoulder, balancing her as she licked her wet fingers. When her breasts were flattened against his chest, her entrance provocatively hovering his cock, Aria caressed his earshell idly, nuzzling his nose.

"Close? Not close enough, I'm afraid." she rolled her hips, coating him with her wetness and pulling back before he could hold her in place, fighting with her own urge to fuck him immediately. Her arms and legs were filled with that funny tingling again and Creators she wanted to feel his weight over her, his cock inside her cunt, pulsing, throbbing.

Aria laid with her back on the pillows, giving Blackwall a glimpse of her sex with her slightly parted knees. "Come." She bit her lower lip, grinning.

[blackwall_fadewalk]

It took him a few seconds to catch his breath. He nudged her knee with his foot, spreading her legs just a little further. Licked his lips. Looked up into her eyes and gave her a wicked smirk in return. “Ladies first.” He teased.

He could have pounced on her. He could have put her legs over his shoulders and kissed her hard while he slid right into her silky grip. He could be fast, when he wanted to be. But not now. Now he had something he needed to ask her.

So, he crawled up to her slowly, particular about how he placed his knees. Tempting to just settle between her legs as Aria spread them, but there would be time for that yet. Blackwall straddled her hips, braced himself over her on his forearms, leaned close as his sweat-stringy hair fell into a sort of curtain around her gorgeous face.

He kissed her, sweet and gentle, and didn’t let it deepen. He had her attention. “Are you sure about this? You don’t exactly know where I’ve been.”

The Taint in him meant that getting Aria with child was unlikely at best, but he’d had a life long before the Inquisition, before being a lone wandering liar. And most of it was dirty filthy disgusting… the sort of thing that might linger. He didn’t want to take chances with Aria’s health.

[lavellanfadewalk]

She tilted her head, thumbs running over his cheekbones. One hand tucked his hair behind his ear and she kissed him back. "Funny question. You don't know where I've been either." she chuckled. And oh, she had been everywhere.

Aria caressed his arms and shoulders, then his eyebrows "I'm here because I want and I'm experienced enough to know the risks. I'm willing to take'em." she closed her eyes, almost without believe she was about say that "But, I don't want to make you uncomfortable. So..."

Her eyes were locked on his now, almost a silent plea of wanton and desire.

[blackwall_fadewalk]

“The only thing that would make me uncomfortable right now is if you didn’t want to be where you are. But, you want, and I-” He couldn’t help but stop to kiss her. “I want you so fucking much.”

His fingers trailed up from her collarbone, traced up over her pulse to the bases of her ears. Rubbed slow circles into her skull while he nipped and licked his way down her neck. Took some time to get his legs down between hers. Ended up nearly humping her bloody leg when his cock brushed against her thigh. Fuck. But no, he had control. He was going to do this right.

His hands slowly worked their way up her ears proper, touching softly, discovering what made Aria whimper. What made her moan. Mouth following a meandering trail down over her sternum. Between her tits, Blackwall stopped and looked up at her lust-dazed face propped up on an obscene amount of small overstuffed pillows.

“Question really is, how fast can I make you come?” He tried to play it off casually. A joke. Might’ve been the most sincere fucking thing he’d ever asked.

[lavellanfadewalk]

Blackwall was close. So damn close.
And hot.

A trail of gooseflesh was left over her collarbone after the touch of his fingers. She shivered and sighed with the wet, warm sensation of his tongue on her neck, tilting her head so he could see and lick and flood her with more sensations. She jerked when he reached for her ears, whimpering. These were certainly a weak spot of hers.

"How fast?" she laughed at his question "Well, I don't know, I think you did great just before." she kissed him "Though my notion of time might've been severely compromised by the circumstances, so I really don't know how long it took." then, she kissed his nose

[blackwall_fadewalk]

He laughed breathlessly and his hands abandoned her ears for the moment. Slid one to the back of her neck, other to the closure of her breast band. He lifted her and only took a moment to get it loose. Tucked the band under the pillows so it could be found after as he lowered her gently back down.

“Compromised? Well, try and keep track this time.” He kissed his way up the curve of her breast, flicked her nipple with the tip of his tongue. “Such a shame if we have to do it over and over.”

Grabbed one of the legion of pillows and tucked it under her hips. His cockhead glided over her slick slit as he rocked his hips a little closer. Wet and warm and ready. Shoved his trousers down further so he could feel the warm, wet heat of her. Lined himself up with one hand. Pressed forward.

Fuck. “Aria.” Fuck.

[lavellanfadewalk]

Aria's mouth fell agape and without thinking she held her breath until his cock was fully sheathed, opening its way in her cunt inch by inch. She could feel him pulsing inside her walls, warm, wet, full and bigger than she was used to, a small hint of pain supporting and enticing her pleasure. She finally remembered letting the air out of her lungs, cradling his face with both hands to press her forehead to his, inhaling all of his scent and their smell of sex.

It took her some time to find her voice back as she pressed a soft kiss to his lips "Yes, Thom, yes."

[blackwall_fadewalk]

He reared back from her, eyes wide. Ended up rolling his hips that little bit further against her. Left him lightheaded, growling deep in his chest. She was so tight and hot and good. But she’d said. She’d said his name. That was.

She moved under him a little, and he leaned into her to hold her still. She whimpered, he bit her lower lip. His name. The name of a murderer and a monster. He drew back, feeling the slick pressure lessen. Pressed back in, and she gave way so beautifully. Her face screwed up and he licked his way into her mouth because how could he not?

“Aria, love.” He mumbled against her lips. He cradled her close, felt her nipples rubbing against his chest hair, her sweet little arse against his thighs. Fuck. She’d said his fucking name.

[lavellanfadewalk]

Love.
The way his lips and tongue worked to say that word, the way it seemed to come from further inside his chest, caring, admiring, wanting, the way this eyes darkened looking at her... all of it was undoing her, little by little. He moved to taste her, to feel her and to be felt and Aria rolled her hips in response, his weight just perfect over her.

She locked her heels around his waist, peppering kisses to his jaw, chin, cheeks, lips, nose, eyebrows and forehead, hands on his back pressing him closer, as closer as he could get.

"Thom, vhenan." she whipered against his skin "May I have the pleasure of this dance with you?"

[blackwall_fadewalk]

He wanted to ask why she would- why she called him- why that name. But she kept kissing him, soft and lingering and he wanted that more than he needed to know. So he didn’t ask. And if, when she called him that the second time, he thrust a little harder, a little deeper? Well. It wasn’t the name of a good man, was it?

“If you still have air enough to tease me, I’m not doing my fucking job."

His thumb went to her clit, fingered her roughly while he set a faster pace. Mouth on one tit, free hand on the other, and she was delicious, moaning and digging her heels in like she was spurring a fucking horse. And if she was treating him like a beast, well, he was rutting her like one; hard and fast and hot and wet and tight!

His teeth closed around her nipple, not quite biting down but he could. Growl rumbling deep on every exhale, thumb circling and flicking randomly, he could feel her reaching her edge. Moved his mouth to her other nipple and nearly bit down on that one too. He was.

Fuck. So close. “Ar-” So close! “Aria, love, I’m-”

[lavellanfadewalk]

"Yes, come for me vhenan."

Aria moaned and whimpered, her hips meeting his. She could feel her peak approaching, fast, nails digging his flesh when the boiling desire coiling down her navel exploded, body writhing, throat going dry from moaning his name. Her walls clenched and fluttered and it only took him more a couple of trusts to follow her past the edge.

She slowed her pace, riding her waves, panting and trying to keep her body from going immediately limp, legs and arms loosening around his flesh, sweat deliciously sticking their skin together.

[blackwall_fadewalk]

Maker.

She. Aria. So.

He was kissing her jaw. Didn’t know when he’d moved there. Pushed up and made it to the corner of her mouth. She turned her head, kissed him proper. Shiver ran down his spine, made his cock twitch inside her. They groaned in concert.

His hands were on her hips, and he ran them up and down her sides. They stuck a little, from the sweat, and he kissed her again. Fuck. His heart was still pounding loud in his ears. He pulled out slowly, felt the rush of fluid as their mingled come spilled out. Probably stained the pillow. The thought made him let slip a giggle. Tried to stifle it in her neck.

He slipped a hand between their bodies. Picked up some of the come and brought it up to sample. His was bitter as ever, but hers had a tangy sourness that made his much more palatable. Licked his fingers clean and was about to ask if he could taste from the source when.

What in the fucking Void?

Was he-

He got up on his hands and knees properly, letting a rush of air chill their sweat-soaked skin. Looked down at himself. Had to reach down and actually check, but yes, somehow, he was getting hard again. That shouldn’t be-

Legendary Warden stamina.

Well. Shit. Maybe if he ignored it, it’d go away?

[lavellanfadewalk]

Aria turned to her side and pushed the pillow under her hips away from her, trying get more comfortable to catch her breath. Her hands stroked his chest and she sneezed softly with the chill air touching her skin.

Her eyes followed the motion of his hands and she grinned, thinking that was probably the first time she'd ever seen a man recovering so quickly from his peak. Aria kissed him and chuckled "Well, I might say there is something I had never experienced before."

[blackwall_fadewalk]

She shivered, and Blackwall’s first instinct was to cover her back up again. Course, that wouldn’t actually help much, so he wrestled the duvet down far enough that they could climb underneath it. He spooned up behind Aria once she was settled on her side again, leaned up to kiss her proper.

“You’ve never experienced a cock before, love? What happened to knowing enough to take risks?” Because if she’d been lying about that, then he’d been far too rough with her. And even if she hadn’t, it was your first time together. What kind of impression is that? That you’re a fucking animal, that’s what. Don’t even have the courtesy to know when a thing is over.

His mind railed against him and he tuned it out best he could. Nuzzled behind Aria’s ear, cuddled closer and wrapped his arms around her. Didn’t push his hips forward, though.

[lavellanfadewalk]

Aria laughed, not objecting the cuddle.

"Ow, please, don't pretend you're silly." she turned in his arms to face him, pintching his nose playfully "As far as I recall, women are the ones usually ready again far faster than men." she opened her mouth to speak again, but stopped, noticing she was about to give far more information than she thought he could handle now. Maybe another time.

[blackwall_fadewalk]

He rolled his eyes, not bothering to struggle when she took hold of his nose and didn’t let it go. Raised an eyebrow when she looked about to go on, but she closed her mouth and shook her head instead, so he shrugged.

“Warden business, my lady. Very top secret.” At least he was assuming it was. Maker, what if it were this strange not-Fade? Perverted thing for it to do. Not very likely either.

He pinched her nose in retaliation. She squeezed his a few times and twisted it one way and then the other. “You know, you don’t make a terribly solid case for claiming to be old.”

And this was all a lovely distraction from what he actually wanted to ask her. Should probably wait until he didn’t sound ridiculous. Which was more stalling. Fuck.

[lavellanfadewalk]

"Don't let my elven blood fool you, vhenan. By the end of this year, I'll spend my 38th Fall in this ruthless world."

Vhenan.
She had said it again.
Just like he had called her 'love' moments before.

A pit formed of her stomach and her heart bursted. She was panicking on the inside, she needed to breathe. Now. Aria tried to not desperately fumble with her limbs to leave the bed, planting a kiss to his forehead before getting up and finding her way to the small bath chamber, leaning against the wall to avoid collapsing.

The memories were vivid now and she struggled to stiff the sobbing, hands shaking. Creators, she was falling for him. Really falling for him. But the warm cuddling, his voice softly calling her 'love', his care and gentleness were terribly like... -

No.
No, no, no, she wouldn't keep remembering, not now.
Not fair with Blackwall.

[blackwall_fadewalk]

So, that answered the question of how much older than her he was. Was about to tell her so, but then something behind her eyes broke and she bolted. By the time she’d shut the door on an attached bath he’d barely noticed, he’d managed to prop himself up on his elbows. Sat there like a lump staring at that door.

That had been fear. He’d scared her. She’d been laughing and teasing as she always did, trying to hide it. Probably trying to scrub herself clean in there right now. Couldn’t blame her. Not a bit. In the heat of the moment, blood running high, you say plenty you don’t mean. Agree to things you don’t actually want.

Fuck.

Blackwall pulled up his pants and trousers, tied the laces with shaking fingers. Pulled his shirt loose of the headboard and put that back on as well. Struggled free of the bed. Looked between his armour and the door Aria- the Inquisitor was behind.

No. You’re not so much a coward you’d just leave without telling her. You’d better not be, anyway.

He dug under the unreasonable number of pillows until he found her underclothes. Padded over to the door. Stood there tracing the whorls of the grain with his eyes until he finally mustered up the balls to actually knock on the wood.

“Aria? My lady, are you alright?”

Of course she’s not, you knobhead! Old fool, what kind of question is that? ‘Are you alright?’ You fucking know she’s not, that’s what's got you running like a scalded dog. Maker’s balls, you’re as brainless as you are ugly.

[lavellanfadewalk]

Aria wasn't alright, but if she admitted, she would break.
She opened and closed her mouth several times, trying to find her voice to speak; she could lie, clearly lie, and hurt him. Or tell the truth and probably scare him away forever. But at least she wouldn't make him think he had done something.

"Sorry, I'm not." her voice trembled "But it's not your fault, I assure you."

[blackwall_fadewalk]

Not his fault. Part of him wanted to believe that. Not a large part, but it was there. And she’d been honest about not being well. But it was obvious that she hadn’t been. She was smart enough to mix truth with lies.

None of that was important now. He rested his hand on the door, leaning in as though he could reach her through the barrier. “Would you like your clothes?” Skyhold wasn’t the balmiest place. It was small, but it was something he could do for her.

[lavellanfadewalk]

"I-I..." I can't even keep my hands steady enough to dress myself "Could you fetch me the duvet?" she reached for the doorknob, to open it, still trembling, still trying to hold her emotions. Tears were filling her eyes already and she couldn't see straight anymore.

[blackwall_fadewalk]

“Of course.” He left her underclothes next to the door and stripped the bed as efficiently as he could. Grabbed a few of the larger pillows as well and hauled everything over to the Inquisitor. He did his best to fold the duvet a bit so it wouldn’t be so awkward, but goosedown wasn’t prone to neat folds. “Brought some pillows too, if you want to sit on them.”

[lavellanfadewalk]

"Thank you."

Aria wrapped the duvet around her shivering frame. Blackwall was clearly lost with the whole situation and she couldn't blame him. Before he could pull away, she grabbed his hand, avoiding to look at him. Breathing faster wouldn't help her keeping the tears at bay forever.

"Please, stay."

[blackwall_fadewalk]

He had no fucking idea what was going on anymore. But Aria didn’t need confusion. So he grabbed the smallest of the pillows and set it on the floor on her far side. Let her be next to the door if she needed to run again. Settled down with only a few cracks and pops. Crossed his legs and swapped the hand she was holding so it’d be more comfortable for her. Maybe he squeezed her hand a little. Just a little.

Didn’t lean in. Didn’t pry. Just stared at the far wall and waited for Aria to tell him what was alright for him to do.

[lavellanfadewalk]

Aria spent a good time in silence, a few tears here and there running down her cheeks, eyes staring the floor insistently. Cole would probably convince her to talk, to untangle the emotions and feelings coiling inside her chest. Maybe... maybe that worked. She took a deep breath, unable to face the man by her side for now.

“See... I was married once. Many years before the Inquisition.” Aria dried her cheeks with the palm of her free hand, nodding “We grew up together as close friends and once we were older, things weren’t only about friendship anymore. When I noticed, she was already eclipsing the rest of the world around me. I gave up ice magic so I could focus on healing magic, to aid during her hunts in the woods, and with her by my side I felt like I could conquer the whole world if I wanted.” she sighed, closing her eyes “Olendra was strong, beautiful and funny and she had an amazing, golden heart. We exchanged our vows not much after the vallaslin ceremony, we couldn't wait any longer to live together."

She chuckled, weakily, and a long silence followed until she spoke again.

"She died when bandits raided our aravels with trading goods. I'm sure the Emerald Knights would be proud of her bravery. I was proud of her bravery. But she died." her face turned into a ungly mask of sadness and tears, her chin trembled and the temperature dropped around them, the floor beneath Aria starting to freeze "I could do nothing to help, nothing to keep her by my side. I froze the bandits left, I dyed the ice with their blood. If not by the Templars arriving to Silence me, I would've turned into an abomination. Gladly." her hand squeezed his and she finally looked at him "She was the only one to ever call me 'love', the only one I ever called 'vhenan'. The only one to ever hold me close after we made love. And today..." Aria's voice faltered "Today was perfect as it used to be and I never thought I would let anyone else enter my heart as you did and here we are. I'm sorry."

And she kept repeating 'I'm sorry', face hiding against the duvet. The ice beneath her disappeared and the temperature went back to normal.
