Konstanten’s room was slowly filling up with steam while Gaura was taking off one piece of her armor after the other. She hummed a melody to herself – out of respect rather than discomfort – trying to tune out the lewd cries that managed to pass through the walls of the Wild Mare. In moments like these, the Watcher questioned if taking the tub in the brothel was actually preferable to the Luminous Bathhouse, but those questions would be set aside as soon as she remembered that at least, she got to be alone in the brothel. There was a time public bathing would have left Gaura unfazed, but that was before she was renowned as the Watcher of Caed Nua or the captain of The Defiant. That was before she was a piece in the game of powers that saw her as variable to be controlled. And there was a place where she might have felt comfortable surrounded by others, bare and – in some ways – out of her element, but in such a place she wouldn’t have been surrounded by people looking to her with either reverence or suspicion. She could do without the attention that she would have received in Periki’s Overlook.
But the rest of the crew headed that way. Aloth was especially reluctant to part ways with her that day. A soft tremor ran through her fingers as the Watcher recalled the way he held her hand, saying his goodbyes. She thought of his gentleness that she felt through the heavy gauntlet, she thought of the warmth in his gaze that made the sun streaming on them pale in comparison. She thought of the color of his lips after she gave him nothing more than a quick peck. She bit her own as she reminisced. The color promised a soft surface, a searing impact and an irresistible taste. Gaura didn’t notice that she stopped humming. Her movements slowed as she undid her belt, while her imagination painted the image of clothes being removed that belonged to someone else. An image of another getting shoved against a wall while she showered him in kisses.
The sound of the water boiling snapped her out of her musings. Gaura hurriedly took the cauldron and emptied its contents into the tub, half-full of lukewarm water already. She removed the last few pieces of her armor and the clothes underneath, excitement almost getting the better of her. As she stepped into the tub, the water began dancing around her legs lead by the ever burning flames bursting through her skin. She sat down, submerging herself to her neck, enjoying the rough bubbles assaulting her tense muscles. Soon, she was lifted by the movements of the water, her only support was the back of her head against the edge of the tub and her arms coming over its sides, anchoring her while she floated relaxed.
The trek up the mountain took time, Gaura mused as a sigh left her lips, Aloth could not have made it to the bathhouse yet. By the time he would, he’d be flushed by exertion and kissed by sunlight. The Watcher sighed. The water felt softer as she thought of the wizard. Or maybe she did. It was so easy to pretend that she was being touched, that she was melting as a response. It was easy to read more into the gentle impacts against the small of her back than the reality of them. It was easy to imagine slender fingers caressing her thighs and even easier to give in to the sensation. Gaura brought a hand to her breast as she parted her legs, while she thought of Aloth descending into the gently glowing pool. She envisioned a single droplet trickling down his lean body as she traced its path down her own chest.
Her daydreaming fragmented when her fingers found her folds and the small nub between them. Images overlapped with her movements, shifting with each flick of her wrist. She drew one circle and Aloth was leaning over the edge of the pool. His face was pressed against the tiles and Gaura was behind him, loving up his neck, kissing his shoulders, nibbling on his ear, as she reached forward and rubbed him steadily. The Watcher’s breathing grew staggered as she picked up the pace set by her imaginary self. Her mind was filled with the vision of Aloth on his back, sprawled out on the floor of the bathhouse, biting down on his lip, trying to keep himself quiet as Gaura grinded on top of him, filled by him, at a tempo that was far too selfish but she couldn’t help it. She allowed herself a quiet moan, just enough to fuel her fantasies without overpowering the sounds of the water enveloping her, the sounds she imagined echoing in the halls of the Luminous Bathhouse, the sounds that-
- that were suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.
The Watcher froze in her movements. For a moment there was no sound, and no movement aside from the water around her rushing against her body. When she heard the knock again, her awareness returned to her fully – as well as to her more than compromising, arched posture. Even behind closed doors, Gaura’s hair fluttered shyly as she sat in the tub, her legs crossed, trying to repress the rage growing from her frustration by washing her face.
‘The room’s taken!’ She called out, snapping at the person behind the door despite her best efforts.
‘I know.’
The voice almost convinced the Watcher that she was still deep in her fantasies. When she didn’t respond, an impatient request followed.
‘Gaura, can you please, let me in?’
She got out of the tub in a hurry, nearly tripping over the edge of it. She was just about to grab the handle of the door, when she remembered to cover herself. The Watcher took a moment to ensure the towel she picked up was hugging her body securely and neatly, before she opened the door, and casually leaned against its frame. An easy smile brightened her face that hid all but the smallest hints at her craving for the wizard. Aloth blinked at her, his mouth slightly agape at the sight of her wearing nothing but a tiny piece of fabric and a small cloud of vapor rising from her skin.
‘I…’ he cleared his throat, ‘I hope I didn’t come at an inopportune time.’
Gaura chuckled, lust and mischief faintly ringing in her voice. ‘Quite the contrary,’ she stepped aside, ‘I was just thinking about you.’
‘As was I about you,’ Aloth stepped inside the room, strangely stiff. It was only then that Gaura noticed how out of breath the wizard was, how flushed his cheeks were and yet he closed the door behind him with a restraint that she would have mistaken for hesitance had she not seen it time and time again, usually right before they both gave in to their desires. ‘That… is why I’m here,’ he let out a short laugh, as he stepped closer to the Watcher, ‘I was wondering, if… maybe you could share the tub with me.’ He hid his hands behind his back.
‘Hm,’ Gaura closed the distance between them. Aloth did not move, he did not look away, merely his cheeks took on a slightly deeper shade as a heavy, but staggered breath escaped his lips. She glimpsed a spark in his lidded eyes that put an impish smile on her face. ‘I’m sure we can squeeze in,’ she said as she reached for a buckle on the wizard’s vest. ‘But I still can’t help but be surprised that you’d skip the bathhouse for a measly tub.’
‘The company more than makes up for it,’ he glanced down at the Watcher’s hands slowly undoing one buckle after the other. ‘As does the privacy.’
‘My, you must have craved both,’ Gaura teased as she undid Aloth’s belt and pushed his vest off him, ‘if you were willing to climb back down the mountain just to meet me here. Alone.’
‘Indeed,’ he chuckled as he took off his undershirt, ‘as foolish as it sounds, I… I couldn’t stop thinking about our parting earlier.’
He gingerly reached for the Watcher’s hands, and lifted them to his lips. He left a single lingering kiss on her wrist, while he placed shorter, sweeter ones on the knuckles of her other hand. Gaura laughed softly, turning Aloth’s gaze to her face again. He let go of her long enough to cast protective spells on himself, before he reached behind her head and brought it closer to himself. He rested his forehead against hers, fighting the urge to claim her lips.
‘I want you,’ he admitted quietly, breathlessly, but no less eagerly.
‘Care to demonstrate?’ The Watcher lightly nipped at his lower lip. ‘How badly do you want me?’
Aloth’s kiss was slow at first, but insistent as if he needed to drink Gaura in to shrug off the weariness of the road. Then a moment passed and the wizard only grew hungrier for her. The Watcher snickered into his mouth as he reached for the towel covering her and peeled it off with a gentle tug. He pulled her closer, and embraced her tightly seemingly ready to feed himself to the fire adorning her body. But he knew those flames: he knew that they did not scorch, they did not harm, they only lapped against Aloth’s chest with the tenderness of the lightest of kisses. Goosebumps formed where he was kissed by fire and a small tremor ran through him as Gaura reached for his hair and gently pulled it. The wizard sharply inhaled, warm, humid, smokey air filling his mouth until the Watcher latched onto his neck and allowed herself to be guided by her tongue along his shoulder. Only then did he remember to exhale.
‘Shall we take this to the tub?’ Gaura’s voice was deep with desire.
Aloth needed a moment to process the question, which was made all the harder by the Watcher’s warm breath caressing his ear. Eventually he gave her a few quick nods. ‘Please.’
‘Guide me, then,’ she hooked a finger in the wizard’s trousers as she took a step towards the tub, but her gaze remained fixed on him. ‘You see, while you were away my imagination was all I had for company,’ she walked with her back towards her destination, her hands firmly holding her lover by his waist, and her lips repeatedly finding their way back to Aloth’s.
‘It seems I have something to live up to then.’
Gaura laughed. ‘You better, you interrupted quite a nice fanta-’
Her teasing was interrupted when the Watcher’s foot hit a piece of her discarded armor and she was sent stumbling down on her back, pulling Aloth with her.
‘Gods, are you alright?’ The wizard pushed himself up, anxiously looking her over. Gaura was still laughing, however.
‘I’m fine, I’m fine,’ she stopped herself, sniffing into the air. Something was getting singed. ‘The rug, however…’ she pulled Aloth down, wrapped her thighs around his hips and rolled over him in a few swift moves. She was still snickering as she claimed his lips again. Her smile faded to something faint, smug and satisfied as her hand trailed down the wizard’s chest, and he proved to be unable to resist her caress. He arched himself ever so slightly into her touch. His hand came to the back of her head, and kept her in place as he kissed back more and more desperately with each moment. And then Gaura reached his bulge. A quiet groan resonated against the Watcher’s lips and she pulled away to rid him of his remaining clothes. She grinned down at him as she was undoing his trousers, her anticipation warming her belly. Then a hand came to her wrist.
‘Please, I…’ Aloth swallowed, ‘I’d like to taste you.’
Gaura cocked her head, feigning to ponder his request. ‘I’d rather not risk lying down again, though.’
The wizard responded with a knowing smile. His free hand came to her thigh, his fingers idly traced a crack running along on its inner side.
‘I would prefer if you stayed on top, too.’
The Watcher shrugged and leaned over Aloth again. ‘How could I say no to you?’ She left a quick peck on his lips. Then another. And another. With each little contact the vision of his lips on her cunt became more and more crystallized. She savored the fantasy as she pulled away and shuffled over the wizard’s face. ‘Don’t forget to breathe,’ she reminded him, as she lowered herself.
The very first flick of Aloth’s tongue sent shivers along every fiber of Gaura’s being. He gripped her thighs tight as he latched onto her clit and lapped at it feverishly. The Watcher bit down on her finger, trying to suppress the sounds he drew from her each time he changed pace, rhythm, patterns. There was a sweet dissonance between the softness of his lips and the insistence of their movements, between the light brushes of his hair against her thighs and his fingers digging into them. He was unpredictable and meticulous and Gaura found it harder with each moment to restrain herself. It didn’t help that each time he sent her flames fluttering, they drew a shudder out of him, and his own sense of control demanded that he continued with more focus and with greater determination. He let out a few quiet notes, a barely audible but no less desperate whimper, as the fire dancing along the Watcher’s thighs lapped against his cheek and ears, and he nearly drove her mad by doing so. It seemed as if her muscles took control over her as Aloth overwhelmed her nerves and senses. She reached for his hair and dug her fingers into those dark strands while her hips began to move along their own rhythm. The wizard softly moaned against her folds when he felt her grind against him, but Gaura could no longer hear anything beyond her own heartbeat pounding in her ears. Not his sounds, not her own cries, not the sweet nothings that left her lips which only spurred Aloth on. The Watcher lost her sense of time as her pleasure was building within her. Her sense of rhythm and pacing betrayed her on the verge of ecstasy. She lost awareness of herself, of selfishness or discipline. There was only Aloth, precious and generous Aloth, who was so perfect to lose herself in, in all the ways she could still name. She threw her head back and allowed the warmth of her arousal to spread within her like a wildfire and consume her entirely. Aloth slowed down to help her guide her senses back to herself, then left a few parting kisses on her thighs just as she was ready to get off him.
‘You are so, so good to me,’ Gaura leaned over him, eager to taste herself on his tongue. She laughed into their kiss when she felt the juices of her arousal coat his nose and chin as well. Aloth answered by reaching for her ear and by making a futile attempt at tucking a lock of her flame-hair behind it. She pulled away then. ‘I love you.’
‘And I love you.’
‘You made that evidently clear,’ the Watcher laughed. She pulled away and took off Aloth’s trousers. She waited until the wizard reinforced some of his spells protecting him from her hair, the moved to straddle him again. ‘Will you let me be selfish with you?’ She asked with an impish smile while she descended on his cock. She was merely grinding against his length, letting her arousal coat him, but Aloth already tensed up in anticipation. ‘I’ll take good care of you in the tub after I’m done, I promise.’
Aloth let out a quiet laugh. ‘How could I say no to you?’ He sat up, echoing her words, and reached for Gaura’s shoulder. He pulled her down with him as he laid back down. ‘Just… please, stay close to me.’
The Watcher placed a kiss on his cheek while she guided his cock to her heat. She slowly rocked back against him, stealing the wizard’s breath away.
‘Close enough?’
‘Yes, and no.’ Aloth laughed, his joy mingled into his moan as the Watcher began moving again on top of him, until the last notes he exhaled were voiceless and his face became a canvas of pure need. ‘I… can’t get enough of you.’ Gaura kissed the corner of his lips. For a single roll of her hips, she slowed down, as her lips locked with his proper and drank in the long, hungry groan she drew from the wizard. She pulled away slightly with a chuckle and picked up the pace again.
‘Neither can I.’
The Watcher thought of the daydream she had in the tub. The fantasy of Aloth sprawled out on the tiles of the bathhouse and of herself seizing her own pleasure. And a part of her was tempted to turn it into reality. But the Aloth in front of her, under her, had fantasies hiding behind his eyes as well. He touched her cheek just as the first quiet moan passed her lips. He watched her, pleased, for a mere moment before his eyes fluttered shut and he craned his neck back towards the floor. A smile brightened his face until his expression was contorted by his own pleasure.
‘Gods, I adore you,’ Gaura whispered. She couldn’t resist the sight of his lips, his eyes, his arching neck. Her mouth wandered and soothed, her teeth encouraged and claimed, while her body moved to a steady rhythm. She allowed herself to grew drunk the visage of Aloth as ecstasy was building within him and the sounds she was drawing from him. She was intoxicated by the light touches on her back, the fingers tracing her cracks, the caresses on the back of her head, the crackling of magic against her scalp. She in turn called him beautiful, she called him precious, through slurred words and through wandering touches, through increasingly hurried movements. And soon, she grew forgetful, she grew unaware, she was mesmerized by the wizard under her, too much to pay attention to her own self. Her hips rolled back harder against him, her kisses turned forceful enough to resonate in her teeth, until she slammed against him hard and hit a spot that got her seeing stars.
Aloth groaned under her and kissed her on her cheek. The Watcher only stopped for a moment, but even that brief pause felt excruciating – and yet, at the same time, inviting.
‘Wait,’ his hands trailed down Gaura’s sides, until he reached her hips. His grip was light, but firm. After some shuffling, Aloth gave her a slow and gentle thrust, hitting the same spot again. The Watcher’s moan lingered in the air between them. ‘How does that feel?’
‘Almost perfect.’
‘Almost…?’ Aloth thrust again, slightly harder this time, and now the Watcher was ready to meet him.
‘Now, it’s perfect,’ she smiled down at him, as she started moving again in earnest, and he followed along. Gaura soon buried her face in the curve of the wizard’s neck, kisses and nibbles became her anchor as she got swept away in her own movements and the precious, lovely friction that stoked the heat pooling in her loins.
Aloth was tensing up under her as well. He didn’t notice his grip tightening on her, or that he hastened his thrusts. There was a light stutter in the way his muscles moved, there was a light shiver lingering at the tips of his fingers that he couldn’t ease through touch alone. His mouth was filled with his moans that got pushed out of him each time the Watcher’s flesh hit his. Gaura’s lips were slick against his throat, her tongue felt hot against his ear, her hands wandered along his chest, enjoying the feeling of his heart pounding fast for her at one moment and the tremors that followed her light brushes against his nipples in the next. But she did warn him that she would be selfish. Eventually her hand traveled down between them, to the clit he’s been neglecting, but just as guilt was about to well up in him, she grew tighter around him and Aloth forgot everything but her warmth, her embrace, the fire bursting though her, kissing his skin. She cried out as she collapsed on top of him, drowning out his own voice, her climax eclipsing his. The wizard held her close and tight as he rode out his ecstasy, but she squirmed her way out of his embrace. She left one kiss on his face after the other, she left no spot untouched and for those few moments, Aloth was convinced he was melting.
‘I must say,’ he said once he found his voice again, ‘I do enjoy you being selfish with me.’
Gaura chuckled. ‘I promise, I won’t make you regret those words,’ she gave him a lingering kiss, while he pulled out. A few moments later, she got up and helped the wizard stand, as well. ‘Just like I promised I would take care of you, now.’ She gingerly hooked her fingers into his as he guided him to the bathtub. She frowned at the water, disappointed in the lack of steam, and just as she assumed, the water was cool to her touch when she reached out for it.
‘Allow me,’ Aloth gave her hand a light squeeze before he let her go. He rubbed his hands together then he drew some runes in the air. He uttered a spell as he touched them. Magic flared up at the tips of his fingers then spread down to his wrists. The wizard then dipped his hands in the water and in a few moments, vapor was rising from the tub once more. A satisfied smile lurked in the corners of his lips as he gestured at the tub, and when Gaura reached for the water, it was as warm as she left it.
‘Show off,’ she teasingly rolled her eyes at him, which was met with Aloth’s widening eyes as he became aware of his own smugness. Gaura laughed sweetly as she kissed him on the cheek. ‘I’m only teasing, love,’ she left another peck on him. ‘Thank you, you’re a lifesaver.’
The Watcher stepped into the tub and reached back for Aloth. The wizard glanced at the water bubbling around Gaura’s legs then grabbed the hand offered to him with an excited grin. They sat behind one another, with Aloth nestling between the Watcher’s thighs. It was a tight fit within the tub, with little to no room to move, but at least as they were, Gaura was comfortable. Meanwhile the wizard sat a little straighter as the water rushed against his waist. He took a deep breath then undid the bindings holding his hair bit by bit. He ran his hands through his dark strands and leaned back against Gaura's chest with a sigh.
‘Gods, this feels magnificent,’ he took the Watcher’s hand and lifted it to his lips. ‘You are magnificent.’
‘You know my plan was to help you get cleaned up,’ she replied as she played with a few strands of his hair.
‘Just… give me a few moments.’
‘Or you could just give me the soap,’ the Watcher pointed to a fragrant yellow bar. Aloth sat up with a groan but he didn’t hide his eagerness to return to her embrace. She laughed as she took the soap and lightly rubbed it against the wizard’s chest. He seemed to grow more relaxed with each movement of her hand. And in turn, she took her time, she remained gentle.
‘Gaura…’ when Aloth spoke again, his voice was hoarse and quiet.
‘Hmm?’
‘I heard that the pool in the Luminous Bathhouse can be rented for private events,’ he caressed her knee as he talked. ‘Do you think that I could… tempt you... for such an event?’
‘Aw, you’re getting greedy,’ she blew a kiss on her hair. In truth, her daydream surged from the depths of her mind, and her heart skipped a beat at the idea of making it real.
Aloth laughed. ‘Nothing of the sort, I assure you,’ he shifted his weight slightly, ‘or… I don’t think of it as greed. There are just some experiences that I… would like to share with you.’
‘Nice save.’
The wizard shrugged. ‘It’s true, though. There are so many places that I want to see by your side... Memories that I want to form with you,’ he bit his lip. ‘Things that I’d like to try with you.’
The Watcher smiled to herself. ‘I feel the same way,’ she laughed. ‘Although I must mention that a lot of the places I’d like to show you are in the Living Lands and we have giant hornets there.’
‘I’m sure the perils would be worth it.’
‘You are making it very hard to say no to your suggestion,’ Gaura shook her head. ‘About the bathhouse, I mean.’
Aloth said nothing, he merely angled his head to look up at the Watcher. Gaura could only meet his gaze for a few fleeting moments.
‘Fine,’ she pretended to give in. ‘I’ll see to the arrangements.’
The wizard smiled. ‘Thank you,’ he turned away and closed his eyes. ‘I have to say, though… I wouldn’t oppose to… using the tub with you again. If you are of the same mind, that is.’
‘You know that I am,’ the Watcher tucked a lock of hair behind Aloth’s ear. In her embrace, relaxed, soaked and glowing in the aftermath of ecstasy, he looked almost like a dream. And certainly more beautiful than the ones Gaura has been having. ‘How could I say no to you?’

Ages ago, I wrote a thing as a response to a prompt sent by @orime-stories and now there's a follow-up
...it's smutty. Really, really smutty.
Also, it's about 4650 words, so yeah below the cut bc obviously
Gaura was woken up by a shiver running through her. She heard the quiet but sharp whistle of the ocean wind though she couldn't feel its cold, and as she felt around, there was no one beside her in her bed. Her eyes popped open. Memories of the previous night began to emerge as her vision got clearer: she and Edér were supposed to spend the night together. He merely wanted make gentle love to her and she... She reacted the most foolish way possible. The Watcher buried her face in her hands as embarrassment overcame her again. She panicked. She felt small and fragile under his touch when she was supposed to feel safe. She felt crumbling under the pressure the world put on her when she was meant to only feel Edér. No wonder she woke up alone, she thought as she sat up, but as she did so, a figure sitting by the window came into her vision.
Edér was smoking, sitting on the Watcher's footlocker, seemingly unbothered by the winds he let in through the open window. Clouds darkened the horizon. Gaura wasn't worried either. The storm was still far enough to be outmaneuvered, even if it's oppressing darkness blocked out the first rays of the sun.
'Hey,' he greeted her with a warm half-smile. He didn't move but his gaze was fixed on the Watcher.
'Morning,' she replied, suppressing a yawn. She got out of bed and was about to approach the farmer when he called out to her.
'Mind grabbing me one of those potions you gave me last night?'
Gaura obliged him. 'It's in the second drawer from the top. Right side,' she said as she made her way to the desk and took out a vial. 'In case, you ever need to get one and I can't get it for you,' she added.
'Got it,' that was all he said before he took a deep whiff of whiteleaf. As he inhaled, the burning whiteleaf flared up, bathing his face in faint orange light for a moment. His eyes twinkled with the same light as he watched Gaura approach him. When she got close enough, she noticed goosebumps forming on his neck.
'If you're cold, you could've just kept the window shut,' she offered him the bottle, 'I'm not bothered by the smoke.' She waited until Edér exhaled a puff of smoke and put out his pipe, then she closed the window above him while he gulped down the potion as quickly as he could, grimacing at the liquid's flavor.
'Good thing, you're here to warm me up,' he dropped the empty vial and pocketed his pipe. Then he grabbed the Watcher's hand and pulled her down with a single tug. She fell against his chest, gasping as the air got pushed out of her lungs by the impact. Edér merely laughed and guided her onto his lap by her waist. She sat down, straddling him, and without thinking, Gaura closed the gap between them. The farmer kissed back slowly, lazily, chuckling against her lips while the hand on her waist began to wander around on her back. The Watcher in turn dug her fingers into his hair and pulled at the straw colored strands lightly. Edér pulled away just long enough for Gaura to move on to kissing his neck. She enjoyed the sound of his breath catching in his throat and the feeling of the goosebumps disappearing under her lips.
'Warmer now?' She asked once she pulled away.
'To say the least,' Edér forced his gaze away from the Watcher's lips and looked her straight in the eye. Slowly, the look in his eyes turned wistful and he moved the hand resting on her waist to cup her face instead. 'How are you feeling?' He asked as he caressed her cheek with his thumb.
Gaura chuckled uncomfortably as an answer. 'Better,' she pried his hand off her cheek to leave a light peck on each of his knuckles. 'What happened last night won't happen today.'
'You sure? Not even if I kiss you like this?' Edér leaned in and blew a breathy, feather-light kiss on the curve of Gaura's neck. Then another and another along her shoulder. She felt a shiver running through her and she couldn't help but shift her weight on his lap, and that was enough of an answer for the farmer.
'Alright, maybe... Maybe it depends,' she shrugged. 'Last night, your touch was... so restrained. I felt fragile being held by you and it just...' she sighed, unsure how to continue. She rested her forehead against Edér's and took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of his skin, mingling with the smell of whiteleaf, smoke and ocean breeze. 'It reminded me of that I'm in over my head. I can't take my mind off things if you can't be carefree with me.'
'Yeah, I... I think I get that,' the veteran pulled away, 'don't know how to do that though. I really just... I just wanna take care of you.'
'I know.'
'No, you don't.' Edér looked away from her. His gaze was fixed on the dimly lit room while his hands slid back to the Watcher's back seemingly on their own. He held her slightly closer and it was that closeness that he needed to be able to look her in the eye again. 'You know, I joined up with you on a morning just like this,' he said casually, as if this was a story he recalled many, many times instead of a memory they both shared. 'Sometimes I think back to the kind of man I was back then, of the thoughts that got me standing under that tree... Wasn't as afraid of them back then as I should've been. Truth be told, I... I don't know if I had it in me to fight back if they came to string me up,' his voice rang hollow.
'You must've at least thought about fighting back,' Gaura said, unable to hide her concern, 'you were decked out in your magic armor and everything,' she flashed a quick, encouraging smile at him.
Edér chuckled ruefully as a response. 'That thing only works if I got someone who needs me to protect them,' a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips and his eyes reflected nothing but gratitude and adoration. 'And then you showed up and... for once I could do something without constantly questioning if I'm doing the right thing. I could stop waiting for better days and help you make them happen. I... don't think you realize what... what that...' Edér's smile faded. He bit his lip, closed his eyes and exhaled heavily through his nose, trying to go on speaking without crumbling under the weight of his own words.
'I'm getting the gist of it,' Gaura reached behind his head and pulled him into a tight embrace. Edér nuzzled her neck as he tried to calm himself by breathing in and out at the same slow pace as the Watcher caressed his hair.
'Good. At least one of us does,' he said eventually.
The Watcher laughed and blew a kiss on the farmer's hair. He looked up at her in turn and for a few silent moments he watched her as if he tried committing every detail of her face to memory. He watched her as if he hadn't done this a dozen times already.
'Sorry, that I can't get your mind off things,' he said, 'but... I suppose what I was trying to say with... all that,' he chuckled ruefully, 'that when I'm gentle with you it ain't because I think you need me. Not that I think there is any shame in that,' he added in a conspiratorial tone. 'I do it because... because I need you.'
Gaura didn't answer. She placed a hand on Edér's sunkissed cheek and peered into his eyes. They twinkled as they reflected her own light, showing her the visage of overwhelming warmth. The Watcher leaned down and left a kiss on the farmer's forehead, then another on his cheek and another on his lips. It was meant to be merely a light peck, but Edér chased after her lips. The hands on her back turned into fists as they clutched the Watcher's nightgown. He only had to pull at it slightly for the light fabric to slide up to her waist, giving him just enough room to slide a hand under it. His fingers trailed the cracks on Gaura's back with familiarity, stopping every now and then to gently rub some of them. She gasped when she realized how easily he could tell the difference between the marks on her skin left by age and the marks left by battle. Her heart skipped a beat and in that absence she felt nothing but pure affection for him.
'Are you... sure you don't wanna go back to bed and cuddle?' She asked, breathlessly, hoping for a very specific answer.
'Yeah,' Edér kissed her shoulder right next to the strap of her gown. 'I made things pretty mopey just now,' his free hand reached for the strap and slowly started to swipe it off her shoulder, 'figured I'd lighten the mood a bit. Unless... you wanna go back to bed and cuddle.'
Gaura shook her head. 'That's not why I asked,' she said, as she gently pried off Edér's hand off her arm. She freed her arm from the off-shoulder strap then untied the other, allowing the fabric half-covering her chest to fall into her lap. Edér didn't move. His gaze roamed along the Watcher's upper body, and Gaura glimpsed the same sense of familiarity that she felt in his touch before. There was something very comforting about that familiarity, something that rendered her nerves dull to her own anxiety.
After all, she did crumble before under the pressure the world, the gods and even her own soul put on her and Edér was there to pull her out of the wreckage. Sometimes, quite literally. And yet, as he looked up at her, he did so with admiration. He reveled in her light. He was fearless by her side - and for the right reasons too.
'You're really pretty,' he said, snapping Gaura out of her musings. She chuckled. 'What?' He asked somewhat confused but still smiling at her.
'Nothing,' she guided his hand to her heart and leaned close to him, close enough for her lips to brush against his as she spoke. 'Do you really need me?' She asked, hushed.
'Yeah,' he replied the same way, 'I need you.'
'I need you t-'
She felt Edér's lips on hers before she could finish. Gaura wrapped her arms around his neck and she instinctively rolled her hips, unable and unwilling to control her craving for him. She felt a smile spreading on the farmer's face accompanied by the soft resonance of a quiet, satisfied hum against her lips. She took it as a request to continue. The hand resting over her heart moved on to her breast and gave it a light squeeze. The Watcher let out a soft gasp, and Edér couldn't help but chuckle at her adoringly. He changed his grip on her, to support her back. He dipped her ever so slightly, slowly, to give himself the perfect angle to clumsily take her breast in his mouth. Gaura laughed but the sound quickly turned into a moan as she enjoyed the feeling of Edér's tongue caressing her nipple. She already felt a hot pool of arousal forming in her belly and she couldn't wait for the veteran to make the feeling spread along her nerves until she felt nothing else. And what could spur the spread of that sweet sensation than feeling Edér feel the same anticipation. So Gaura kept grinding against him, reveling in every flutter of the farmer's eyelashes and the feeling of him growing hard under her.
Soon, however, Edér's grip loosened on her.
'Starting to feel your hair,' he said as he steadied her by the waist.
'Oh,' Gaura's disappointment rang in that single note. She glanced back at the desk behind them, mustering the will to get up. 'I'll go grab another bottle for you,' she offered but Edér kept holding her firmly in place.
'I... really don't feel like letting you go,' he admitted a little sheepishly. He bit his lip as one of his hands slid from her waist to her belly. 'Come to think of it,' he added as the hand moved downwards and for once Gaura felt a little uncertainty in his touch, a little curiosity as he reached below the nightgown in her lap, and let his hand rest on her inner thigh, eagerly waiting, 'I don't really need that swill right now. Just...' he said as he caressed her thigh, 'a bit more room.'
The Watcher's lips curled to an impish smirk. She reached down for Edér's pants and quickly undid them. Only then did she raise herself. The farmer immediately moved his hand towards her loin but she was faster. She caught his wrist and leaned closer towards him.
'You're a little overdressed, don't you think?'
'You're a little impatient, don't you think?' Edér asked back but there was no mocking in his voice. A soft, fond chuckle escaped his lips as he stole a quick kiss from her. 'You'll get your turn. For now I just... I just want you to relax.'
Gaura thought on the offer. The smirk on her face softened to a loving, curious gaze. 'You want me to let you take care of me,' she said, as her grip loosened on Edér's wrist. He nodded and he cautiously moved his hand up her thigh again, only to find that the Watcher was no longer willing to stop him for any reason. She merely held him for both of their comfort.
Edér lightly dragged his fingers along the Watcher's folds. She answered to his touch with a gasp and it took him repeating the same move again and again for her to realize she's been holding her breath. The sigh she exhaled was staggered. She has always been aware of the size of his hands and yet there was a significant difference between feeling them grabbing her, gripping her, holding her and having them between her thighs, rubbing her at a lazy pace, invoking merely a shadow of the pleasure he could grant her. Gaura let go of the farmer's wrist and guided his hand to her clit instead. Edér grinned up at her.
'You know, you could've just asked,' he said as he rubbed the small nub at a steady pace.
Gaura stifled a moan. 'I guess, I could have... would you have liked that?' Edér's grin faded slightly hearing the question. He watched attentively, waiting for her to continue. 'Do you... do you want me to tell you what to do? Or do you just... want me to talk?' She threw her head back unable to hold back the sounds escaping her. The veteran risked a kiss on her throat.
'Maybe I want both. I sure like listening to you. And... reckon you wouldn't want me to fumble around either.'
'You're not... you're not fumbling,' Gaura sighed the words. 'You know my body so well... Your touch is so... sweet.' She couldn't possibly describe what she really felt. How his touch was so light, but so insistent, that already the nerves reaching from her lap were ablaze with arousal and it was slowly taking over the rest of her body. But it was still Edér's touch and so it was caring and a little playful. It was... sweet. So much she could almost taste it.
'Sweet is good. Right?'
'Yeah...' the Watcher smacked her lip, 'but I also... really really want your fingers in me. Please.'
Edér's eyes widened slightly. He looked almost flustered as he blinked up at her. 'Why, I can't say no to that. Not when you ask me like that.' He brought his hand to his mouth to slicken some of his fingers.
Gaura couldn't help but squirm a little from the sudden lack of contact only to stiffen again when she felt a finger entering her. It was a careful motion. Slow. Gentle. And Gaura found herself unable to move until it ended and Edér pulled his finger out.
'You're pretty soaked already,' he commented as casually as he could. 'You think we could...' he didn't finish the question, the Watcher merely felt two fingers lightly pressed against her slit.
'Yeah, I was counting on two,' she nodded maybe a little more eagerly than she would've liked. But she couldn't bring herself to care. Nor could Edér, since he thrusted his fingers in her immediately as he heard her answer. This time the Watcher was ready for him. If anything, she felt like she could melt from the friction of his movements. From those firm and lovely brushes against her walls. She covered her mouth with one hand and gripped his shirt with the other to steady herself. Edér softly chuckled at her.
'So it ain't a problem that I'm overdressed after all,' he beamed at her.
'Oh, shut up,' Gaura let her hand drop from her lips and kissed him to muffle the moans coming from her. She reached for his hand and set a different rhythm for him. One that was faster and steadier. One that she could follow with the rolls of her hips. Edér groaned against her lips and picked up the pace even more. The Watcher couldn't keep kissing him. She heard him swear but the sound of her own heartbeat seemed to have drowned out everything. There was nothing but the sensations Edér evoked. The scent of whiteleaf on his skin. That hungry gaze of his filled with anticipation. The feeling of linen in her clutches. The arm wrapped around her waist. And those lovely fingers of his.
Gaura let out a cry in her ecstasy and she nearly collapsed against Edér. She felt a trail of kisses left on her collarbone as her senses were guided back to her surroundings.
'Y'know, after all these years I thought I knew what you look like when you're glowing.'
'I'm always glowing,' she chuckled.
'Not like this you ain't,' he laughed back. 'You think you could hold on a bit tighter?'
Gaura nodded and wrapped her arms around Edér. He reached below her thighs and hoisted her up. She laughed.
'I can walk, you know.'
'Yeah, but I don't want you to,' he brought her to the bed and placed her on it. 'Second drawer on the right side, ain't that right?' The farmer asked as he turned towards the Watcher's desk.
Gaura shuffled out of her nightgown as she watched Edér make his way to the desk. 'From the top, yeah.'
Edér pulled out a drawer and took a vial out of it. He gulped down the liquid and put the empty vial back on the table.
'Just so you know, this thing tastes awful,' he said as he was slowly making his way back to the bed. He pulled his shirt over his head as he approached the Watcher who was busy fluffing the pillows, sitting on her heels.
'It's a potion of the Bulwark Against the Elements spell. If you don't like it, you can always ask Aloth to teach you.'
'Here I was hoping you'd add some sugar next time.' When he reached her, he lightly touched her shoulder to gain her attention. He let her stare up at him while he ran his fingers to the back of her neck and gave it a few firm and encouraging rubs.
'Does this mean it's my turn?' Gaura glanced at his pants. It was still undone by her, all it needed was a simple tug. She turned to him by her whole body and dragged his pants to his knees.
'I was gonna ask you to let me lie down.'
'You can still ask,' she smirked up at him as she leaned down then ran her tongue along his exposed cock. She heard a sharp inhale coming from above. She giggled then took the head in her mouth while her hand began pumping his shaft. Her pace was lazy, aiming to tease rather than please. Edér saw right through her.
'Never asked, but... How do you feel about being grabbed by the horn?' He teased back by running a finger along the longest of Gaura's horns.
She pulled away, but she didn't stop rubbing him. 'That depends how you plan on going about it. But I must warn you that the ridges are pretty sharp,' she bit her lip. 'I'd rather not hurt your hand. Especially not after the way you've been touching me.'
Edér groaned. 'Gonna have to risk it if you keep teasing me like that.'
The Watcher laughed and moved away. She lied on her side and patted the bed next to her. Edér sat down and took his pants off. He was still trying to get comfortable when Gaura pushed him on the pillows then leaned over his lap. She left a few more teasing kisses on the farmer's thighs, then she took him in her mouth proper. She worked her way down on him, lower and lower, with each bob of her head. She glanced up at Edér. His chest looked nice heaving from the pleasure she invoked, she thought. In turn the veteran loosely held on to one of her horns.
'Hope this is fine. You...' he stifled a moan, 'your mouth feels real nice. Guess I... I should've guessed it would.'
Gaura hummed as a response and she could feel a shiver running through him in turn. That was all she wanted to hear. Edér needed her and she wasn't going to disappoint him. She lost all sense of time as she went on. Her mind was focused one nothing but the rhythm she set and the blood pounding in her ears. Edér needed her.
Edér needed her.
'Gaura,' she heard her name. She liked how it sounded. 'Gaura, think you could stop?'
The Watcher froze for a moment, then pulled away like Edér asked. Had her mind not been in the haze of pleasing him, anxiety would've taken root in her. As such, she was merely confused.
'Was that so bad?' She asked, awkwardly chuckling.
'No, not at all,' Edér sat up and claimed her lips. 'Really liked it actually.'
'But...?'
The farmer laughed and pulled her into an embrace. He lied down dragging Gaura with him. 'If you went on, I would've been finished sooner than I would've liked,' he admitted.
Gaura laughed and propped herself up by her elbow. She absent-mindedly traced the blonde hair on Edér's chest with her fingers.
'I wouldn't have judged.'
'Figured you wouldn't,' Edér reached behind her head and pulled her on his lips. He rolled over her as they kissed and before Gaura knew it, he was already slowly grinding against her, coating his cock with the juices of her arousal. He pulled slightly away, allowing the Watcher to get comfortable. She merely put a pillow under her waist then lied down just as she was. Only her legs were spread a little wider, inviting him. He crawled over her again, briefly stopping to leave sloppy kisses on her breasts that got her laughing.
Edér stopped once more to admire the Watcher's laugh. 'I love you.'
Before Gaura could answer, her breath was taken away by the feeling of Edér's cock pushing past her folds. She felt herself being stretched by him, just the smallest bit and yet the sensation had her arching herself against him, her nerves already begging for another release. Then she felt his hip touching her and he stopped. Her nerves calmed down slightly, letting her enjoy the sensation of being pleasantly filled by him.
'I love you too,' she whispered the answer back.
Edér didn't need to hear anything else. He began thrusting again, lightly, lazily but he didn't need to do much else for the Watcher to feel a sweet pressure building in her.
'Gods, you feel good,' the farmer groaned and reached for her thigh. He pressed it closer against him and Gaura couldn't help but feel an unspoken plea in his touch.
'Show me,' she reached for his face. 'Show me how good I feel.'
Edér gripped her tighter, and picked up the pace slightly. The Watcher threw her head back, and let out a long moan that lingered in the room. He pressed his lips against hers to quiet her but only did so for a moment.
'You're gonna rouse the whole damn ship,' he said and yet Gaura heard no complaint in his voice.
'Then sh... shut me up,' she murmured against his lips. 'If you don't want me to... to keep talking then... do something about it.'
Edér didn't respond, just kept moving. He stole one kiss. Then another and another. But he did nothing else to keep her quiet beyond that.
'Maybe I... don't really want you to be quiet.'
Gaura laughed at that but the sound was interrupted by a sharp gasp as Edér thrusted in her hard.
'That... that is why,' he said. 'That sounded real nice.'
'Then do it again.'
Edér obliged her, drawing more sounds of her pleasure out of her. He looked at the arch of her neck and he was unable to keep himself from kissing it. Gaura buried her fingers in his hair and crossed her legs behind his waist. She felt a slight shiver run through him. He cursed against her neck then buried his face in its curve. A moment later he picked up the pace of his movements again
'Is... is this what you want...?' Gaura asked. 'You want me to... hold you nice and close...?' She tightened her embrace slightly and she heard a muffled moan as a response. She blew a kiss on the farmer's hair. 'I love you,' she whispered.
The Watcher had barely any idea where she ended and Edér began. It felt like wherever they touched, the contact would be seared into the very depths of her soul. And Edér made sure they were touching everywhere they could. Her mind was in a haze and her senses were on the verge of being overwhelmed again. There was nothing but rhythm and warmth and need. Need, most of all.
'Edér, please... I'm so close,' she moaned against his ear. 'I need you.'
That was all it took. The next thrust sent Gaura over the edge and before she came to her senses again, she felt Edér's hip slam against her hard and heard a long, hoarse groan leave him. The Watcher lightly caressed his hair, while she waited for him to relax again. His grip on her loosened and he finally pulled out.
'That... offer you made earlier,' he said what seemed like an eternity later, 'about cuddling.'
'Yeah?'
'Really wanna take you up on that offer,' he pried her limbs off him then rolled off her. He pat his chest asking her to lie on it. Gaura chuckled softly and did as he asked. She placed her head on his broad chest and enjoyed the feeling of his hand roaming along her spine. 'Mind if I call you Honeycake from now on?'
The Watcher groaned. 'If it's just you, me and Aloth. At most.'
Edér laughed. 'Got it,' he said.
Sunlight was streaming though the windows but Edér kept his gaze fixed on the flames softly dancing over his heart. The sound of the winds grew softer and more distant and yet, Gaura only heard a heart beating fast for her. It was going to be a fine day, after all. Once they convinced themselves to part, that is.

i really want to kiss you right now for the smut prompts!
Yay, thanks Ella 💖 here is uhh 5k words 😅 of Edér and Gaura getting nasty with each other
sooo... yeah be warned for graphic description of them having sex under the cut, don't click on the readmore if you don't want to read it and if you still manage to do that, you have about 2k words of preamble so you have time to click away before anything steamy happens
but if you do want to read it then I hope you have fun with it 😁
‘Apologies, Watcher, this will take longer than I initially thought,’ Zamar glanced up at Gaura, but his eyes didn’t carry the same sense of guilt that his words implied. The Defiant was visible behind him, its hull half-stripped away and in some spots, replaced with a darker, more durable material. ‘I can’t say I have ever worked with blackwood before, I’m trying to make sure you leave with a hull that was better than what you had coming in.’
‘You’re attitude is admirable,’ the Watcher replied, not only commenting on the shipwright’s conviction towards his client, but the gleam in his eyes, betraying how much relished the opportunity to work with the unique material she brought him. ‘So how much longer are we talking about here?’
‘About 2 or 3 more days,’ Zamar stroke his beard as he eyed the ship. ‘No additional charges,’ his lips curled to the faintest and most fleeting smirk Gaura has ever seen.
‘Alright, I’m sure the crew won’t mind a longer shore leave,’ she glanced at The Defiant again and sighed when she glimpsed the setting sun behind it. ‘I sure don’t.’
‘Glad to hear it,’ he gave a curt nod. ‘I’ll get back to it, if you don’t mind.’
‘Of course, thanks for letting me steal a minute of your time,’ Gaura said goodbye with a smile, that faded as soon as she turned away.
Edér was waiting for her a few steps behind her. Her heart sank as she watched him in the slowly fading sunlight, smoking, waiting, a tender half-smile still tugging at his lips.
The Watcher was meant to spend that day on him, and with him. However, once rumor spread about The Defiant being equipped with a new hull – which meant that her crew was going to be stuck ashore for the next few days – it seemed that everyone who could ask the Watcher for help in the city, showed up to do so. Running a few errands didn’t seem like something that would have taken long and the treks from one side of Neketaka to the other seemed like they could also serve as romantic strolls. But what seemed one thing looked really different in the light of the setting sun.
‘Gods, I am so sorry,’ Gaura closed the distance between her and the farmer and wrapped her arms around him. ‘I thought I’d be quicker handling these things.’ She lightly butted her head against Edér’s armored chest.
‘Hey, don’t be like that,’ he hugged back, squeezing her for a moment, as if her bad mood was something he could expel from her physically. ‘You heard Zamar, we got a few more days than planned. Could just take a rain check now and… I don’t know, we could go out tomorrow?’
‘I’m spending tomorrow with Aloth.’
‘Right, I forgot,’ he let out a quiet sigh as he thought, ‘the day after tomorrow?’
‘I’ll be meeting with Flaune. And after that with Onekaza.’
Edér was silent for a moment. His jaw felt tense and he didn’t notice he tightened his embrace. ‘Right.’ His sigh sounded heavier now. Gaura pulled away just far enough to look up at him.
‘I’ll be free the day after that,’ she flashed an encouraging smile at him. ‘And the day after that.’ She lightly cupped his face.
The veteran squinted at her, pretending to ponder her offer, but he never had the patience to deal with facade, not even with his own. ‘Can I have both days?’ The question would have sounded like a joke if his touch didn’t betray his reluctance to be apart from her.
‘Now you’re just getting greedy.’
‘Nah,’ he let go of her, ‘one day for you and me,’ he began as he peeled her hand from his face and took it into his, ‘one day for you, me and Aloth. What do you say?’
‘Hmm,’ now it was Gaura’s turn to feign disinterest, ‘I am going to counter that offer with… one and a half of those days,’ she ran a finger along the metal scales protecting Edér’s torso, ‘and on top of that, the last day of the shore leave and whatever is left of tonight.’
Edér chuckled. ‘Yeah, I was hoping we’d do more than just climb a mountain.’
‘Good, let me buy you a drink,’ Gaura said as she took the first step towards the Wild Mare, pulling the farmer along.
The two of them passed by massive braziers being lit, and shopkeepers putting away their wares for the night. The bustle of Queen’s Berth didn’t die down with the daylight, it merely shifted. The district felt distinctly less bureaucratic and business-like in the evening. The last remnant of the day was Ivorr the Bright, saying the last prayer before the sun set fully – a goodbye to the light of his god.
‘Thine hands, whose grip pulls me out of darkness. Thine ears-’
Gaura felt a tremor in Edér’s hand. When she looked to him, he merely smiled at her and pulled her close with a single tug. He lifted a finger to his lips.
‘Thine heart, bright as the dawn, giving me warmth when I’m raw.’
Edér winked at her at that line. The Watcher turned away, failing to stifle a fond but nervous chuckle. Often, she would find herself grateful that she couldn’t truly blush. In that moment, she cursed her hair for betraying her fluster at his incidental but no less reverent confession. His adoring laugh coming from behind her didn’t help matters, nor did his thumb lightly caressing her hand as they made their way to the Wild Mare.
They were lucky. The tavern wasn’t quite yet full and so the two of them could find a free table for two in a dimly lit corner. It had an awkward vantage point: the stage was only partially visible and the bar seemed to have been obscured entirely there, but Edér didn’t seem to mind, in fact he eyed the one thing fully, and clearly visible from there with a mischievous grin – the stairway leading to the upper floor. The Watcher was also glad they could find a spot that offered the illusion of privacy in the crowd, and she wasn’t exactly in the mood to hunt for another table. She just about gestured to Edér to offer a seat, when he spoke up.
‘Why don’t you stay here while I grab us something to drink?’
Gaura chuckled at him making the same offer she intended to make. ‘I’m supposed to be the one apologizing to you,’ she reminded him, patting him on the chest. ‘I’ll go get it.’
The farmer, however, grabbed her wrist just as she was about to move past him.
‘You’ll get your chance, don’t worry,’ he left a kiss on her knuckles. When the Watcher opened her mouth to retort, he left another on her palm and he pulled her close. His free hand traveled down her back, gently, comfortingly. ‘Just had an idea, that’s all,’ he explained with a shrug.
‘Uh-oh.’
‘You’ll like it, I promise,’ he kissed her on the cheek. ‘And if you don’t, then we’ll be even,’ he joked, earning a light punch in the shoulder.
Gaura squinted at him. Whatever Edér had on his mind, all he could read from his face was that fond half-smile of his that she saw by the shipyard. It didn’t feel right not to indulge him after the patience he’s displayed for the whole day.
‘Alright.’
Edér’s smile widened as he left her by the table. The Watcher sat down for the first time that day, and she suddenly became very aware of the muscles in her legs. She stretched as she sat, trying to fight the dull, burning sensation in her limbs, wondering if she could maybe convince the farmer to spend a little more time in the tavern before they went on to climb to Periki’s Overlook where they rented a room. But then she remembered that it was exactly what she’s been asking him all day long – just a little more time. She pinched the bridge of her nose as she sighed. She only vaguely heard Edér approach in the growing crowd. She straightened her back and reached out to take her pint once he got within reach. Edér pulled his chair close to her, close enough that as he sat down, his thigh brushed against hers lightly, but just firmly enough for her to feel… intent behind the touch. Maybe even need. He took out a small vial and drank its contents, grimacing, and then washed it down with a large gulp of ale.
‘Not so fast,’ Gaura grabbed his wrist for a moment, ‘you don’t know how the ale would affect the potion’s magic.’
Edér raised an eyebrow. He looked into his cup, then at the Watcher’s hair. He put down the ale and reached for the curve of Gaura’s neck. He caressed her with his knuckles and her flames harmlessly caressed him back.
‘Seems to be working fine,’ he said as his lips curled to a smirk. His hand on her slid down to her collarbone, to her chest, to her belly. He then guided it to her waist as he leaned in to leave a kiss under the Watcher’s jaw. Then another and another. Each more intense than the previous one. Gaura tensed up in surprise. Her gaze darted to different points in the room, looking at one person or another, but it was difficult to focus on anyone but Edér and the gentle touches of his mouth that got her heart fluttering for him.
‘Edér, we’re in public,’ she chuckled awkwardly.
He paused. Time seemed to have frozen for a short while. ‘Yeah…’ the farmer sighed resignedly and pulled away, ‘sorry, Honeycake.’ He reached into his pockets again. ‘I suppose we really oughtta keep this kinda thing upstairs,’ he said as he placed a simple, tagged key on the table.
Gaura blinked at the key while Edér took another sip of his drink, snickering into the cup. The thought of the two of them having some time truly alone got her biting her lip. Relief slowly spread in her chest and washed over her limbs. An involuntary laugh bubbled up from her. Sometimes she forgot how well he knew her, how observant he was and how easily he could lift her spirits. Although that might have said more about her than him, she mused.
‘Is this why you insisted on getting these drinks?’ She couldn’t hide her grin.
The farmer nodded as he swallowed. He kept his gaze fixed on her, his joy and adoration was blatantly apparent in his eyes.
‘You know, you could have just asked, I could’ve handled it for you,’ the Watcher shrugged and picked up her cup, her fingers lightly brushing against the key. She lifted it to her lips, trying to stifle her carefree and excited giggle.
‘Wouldn’t have been much of a surprise then,’ Edér was about to reach for the back of Gaura’s head, but she lifted a finger, urging him to wait while she downed her pint. The farmer laughed at her impatience and at the feeling of her leg brushing against his.
She slammed her cup on the table and grabbed the key once she finished. ‘You couldn’t even keep that surprise to yourself for a minute,’ she teased him, her free hand lightly rubbing his thigh. There was a faint hum hiding in Edér’s laugh as he leaned close.
‘Been watching you all day, dealing with all sorts of things, doing all that talking,’ he reached below her chin and let a thumb linger by the corner of her lips, ‘and looking really really pretty doing all that.’ His gaze stayed on those lips for a few excruciatingly long moments. ‘You’re gonna have to forgive me but… I’m running out of patience.’
‘Good,’ Gaura said breathlessly, ‘I really want to kiss you too. Right no-’
Her last word was interrupted by Edér crashing into her. Gaura could feel his kiss in her teeth and she had to fight with every fiber of her being against an urge to climb on his lap then and there, to claim the thigh brushing against her for her own pleasure. The fingers lingering on his knee moved upwards and the farmer lightly groaned into their contact. The Watcher felt the flames on the back of her neck flutter at the sound and with a last ditch effort she forced herself away from him.
‘Finish your drink,’ she stood up and took a few steps towards the stairway leading to the brothel level of the Wild Mare. She took a quick glance at the key in her hand, trying to read the tag while she walked when she felt a familiar presence by her side.
‘That ale wasn’t all that good,’ Edér hooked his arm in hers and leaned to her ear, ‘and it ain’t the taste I want.’
Gaura sped up her steps hearing that. The two of them hurried upstairs and the people working and lingering there, and made their way straight to the room that the key belonged to. The Watcher opened the door and let Edér in. She stepped in after him, laughing in excitement, hastily locking the door, trying to ignore the hands on her hips and the breath on her ear.
And then the lock clicked.
The Watcher was pressed hard against the door. The only thing separating her from it was the hand traveling up her chest while another pulled her hip close to Edér’s lap. A sloppy kiss landed behind her earlobe. Another a little lower. Gaura reached behind, over her shoulder, her fingers found those soft, straw colored strands and gave them the gentlest tug. They were both already panting, maybe they shouldn’t have rushed up those stairs, she mused, impishly grinning at herself as she guided the hand on her hip forward, down between her legs. She felt a little guilty about her impatience as she began moving against that broad palm, she was after all meant to make up for the day to him. But Edér only responded with the faintest of groans and by pressing her even tighter against himself – and against the rough metal scales separating them.
The Watcher twisted herself, trying to face Edér, only to notice the same frustration on his face that was building in her. She laughed as she reached for the straps keeping his pauldron in place. The farmer hastily followed her lead. Bits of his armor came off him, one by one, until he was only covered by the light fabric of his clothes underneath.
Gaura once again was against the door, her thigh lightly held up against Edér’s hip, her hands digging deep into his hair, her mouth locked in a forceful, insistent, ravenous kiss. She moaned faintly into the farmer’s mouth, only for him to pull away, letting the last note fill the space between them.
‘For once, we don’t need to keep quiet,’ he grinned down at her.
‘When do we ever keep quiet?’
A self-aware chuckle left Edér at the question. ‘Never. And I feel real guilty afterwards.’
The Watcher softly chuckled. ‘And how do you think I should feel?’ She lightly pressed against his chest and stepped forward. He let her guide him to the bed, his gaze never leaving her face, his eyes never showing anything but his craving for her closeness. He barely heard the question over his heart beating in his ear, pounding under her hand for her.
‘Dunno, how do you think you should feel?’ His question ended in a quiet yelp as Gaura pushed him onto the bed. Before he could gather his thoughts again, she was already on top of him. Before he could speak again, her lips were already on his.
He melted into her kiss. His hands came to her hips and pulled her down as he sat up. His touch felt like a question and a plea and the Watcher answered with exactly what he wanted. He quietly groaned into her mouth as she started grinding against him again, then he pulled away, as if merely feeling her movements wasn’t enough, he needed to look, he needed her occupy all his senses. He bit his lip as he watched her hips roll. His hands moved again, one downwards, fingers biting into her encouragingly, while the other reached for the laces of her vest. Gaura chuckled, her voice rang deep and hoarse with desire as she pushed him back down on the bed. Edér blinked up at her in surprise but his expression quickly changed as he watched her remove her vest first, her knees hugging him a little tighter as if anticipation was getting the better of her, despite her slow movements. A breathless curse left him when she took her shirt off next. He felt a little foolish feeling as hypnotized as he did, as if he never saw her before, as if he didn’t know every last inch of her body. And yet, she was beautiful like the sunset by the shipyard.
Gaura, however, didn’t let him admire her for long. She moved lower so she could lean over him and take his shirt in her mouth. She laughed as she pulled it to his neck with her teeth. Edér gasped when he felt her mouth move to his pecks next, showering them with sloppy kisses – too hungry not to let a few gentle bites mingle with them, too indulging not to show his nipples some special attention, too self-satisfied not to have them resonate with the Watcher’s giggles as she grew drunk on the sounds she was drawing out of the farmer.
‘I’m thinking I still haven’t properly apologized for wasting your time today,’ Gaura let her tongue guide her down his chest, to a spot over his hipbone. Edér pushed himself up slightly and his movements formed a roll on his side that she couldn’t resist nibbling. The farmer laughed at the feeling only for his laughter to turn into a groan once the Watcher’s hand found its way to his bulge.
‘And here I was planning on spoiling you…’ He watched as she undid his pants and pulled out his cock.
‘Plans change, as we both learned today,’ she left a small kiss on his shaft, her eyes curving over her smile. ‘But it’s up to you,’ while Edér was trying to remember how to breathe, she ran her tongue along his length, stopping at the head, while her hand began pumping him, ‘do you want me to stop?’ She asked, still smiling, her lips brushing against him, her eyes fixed on him, waiting for the answer she already knew.
‘Of course not.’
Gaura’s mouth closed around him, stifling a satisfied hum. In a few moments she found a decent enough rhythm, if the sounds coming from Edér were any indication, even if her pace was a little hurried for the Watcher’s taste. She couldn’t help it though. Not after a day of feeling him close and yet never close enough. Her flames rippled as she moved further down along his length. Breathing became her sole focus. Her hands moved to the farmer’s thighs as they tensed up, his body answering her, ready to close whatever distance was left between them.
‘Come up for air.’
Gaura glanced up at him. Edér’s hand lightly closed around her horn. She pulled away just as the veteran sat up and he pulled her on his lips immediately. She spent a moment catching her breath resting her forehead against his once he let her go.
‘Don’t think you realize how pretty your mouth is,’ he said as he guided her back to his lap, ‘or how good it feels.’
When the Watcher took him in her mouth again, she didn’t move. She didn’t have to. Edér’s thrusts were light and slow. He held her steadily by her horn, keeping her gaze on him and in turn he didn’t look away either, even though it took every bit of his strength not to sprawl out on the bed, eyes closed, head thrown back in pleasure until she made him come undone. It all felt very selfish, it all felt very generous, whatever he was actually being, Edér knew Gaura would forgive him for it.
Soon, however, he felt a familiar heat on his thighs.
‘Dammit,’ he guided Gaura away from him. ‘I uh… I started to feel your hair.’
The Watcher nodded as she wiped her mouth. ‘You still got some potions, right?’
‘I think so,’ Edér hastily patted his pockets, failing to notice her sitting beside him, undressing. By the time he found a vial, she was already bare, sitting cross-legged, and leaning back leisurely.
‘Do you need help opening the bottle?’ She cocked her head with an impish smile that put a smirk on the veteran’s face as well.
‘Dunno, it might taste nicer from your hand,’ he said, but downed the potion regardless. He tossed the empty vial aside and shimmied out of his remaining clothes. His eagerness to touch the Watcher again was visible in his movements which drew a melodious laugh out of her. He kicked his pants off with a curse but at least, she still found it funny, her laughter still echoed in the room as Edér closed the distance between them. She still laughed as he pushed her legs apart. And then his fingers found her slit. She grew quiet then. ‘My turn,’ he broke the silence.
The Watcher gasped as Edér began rubbing her again. ‘Wow, you’re wasting no… time,’ her last word was barely louder than a sigh as she felt a pair of fingers pushing past her folds. She knew she craved him, she felt the heat of her need pool in her belly as she pleased him, and yet she wasn’t quite aware how badly, how intensely she wanted him until she felt him within her. Even the lightest of his touches could’ve set her nerves ablaze, but Edér was determined to give her more than that. His touch was careful, but firm, gentle, but Gaura could still feel his strength. A soft whimper left her lips which was answered with a kiss landing on her forehead.
‘Just had a hunch that you needed me,’ he glanced down at his fingers easily sliding in and out of her, the light tremors running through Gaura’s legs, her muscles tensing by her hip as she fought the urge to rock herself against him, ‘I’m getting the sense that I wasn’t wrong.’
‘You really weren’t,’ the Watcher felt like her arms were about buckle under her. Edér noticed it too, and gave her shoulder a light push. He pulled his fingers out of her only long enough to get on top of her, but even those few moments of absence felt immense and strangely anguishing. The farmer seemed to have been spurred on by those few moments as well. His touch felt more insistent, a little more forceful. His gaze was dark and twinkling with desire as he looked down on her. He left one last kiss on her lips before he moved on to her chest, to the glowing mark shining in the center of it. Gaura could’ve sworn every last one of her flames flared up when the farmer kissed her there, savoring the feeling of those same flames lapping at him harmlessly. All the while his hand kept moving, his friction kept building that sweet, sweet pressure that got the Watcher squirming under him, arching herself towards him. She needed him closer, and closer still. Meanwhile Edér continued following the unseen trail of his own kisses down her chest, down her belly, until he finally reached her clit.
Gaura could barely handle the contrasting sensations lovingly assaulting her senses. The relaxed, tender touches of Edér’s tongue, opposed to the swift movements of his calloused fingers. The feeling of his coarse mustache rubbing against her along with his soft lips. Her hands came down to his hair, and she couldn’t decide if she merely wanted to hold him, to let her touch express the feelings she couldn’t put into words, or to keep him in place as she began to move against him. Her body made her decision for her. She heard a satisfied “mm-hmm” coming from Edér and even without looking she could tell, he was smirking up at her. His free hand came to her thigh, his fingers bit into her, not to stop her from grinding, but to spur her on.
‘Fuck, I love you so much,’ the Watcher moaned. Her words echoed in her mind, like a chant to the rhythm of her heart. She loved him. She loved him. She loved him. Her pace was slower than Edér’s but her rhythm followed his, until she lost her sense of time, until she only sensed him as if he was being seared into her soul.
She was being kissed. Slowly, deeply, lazily. Gaura smiled against Edér’s lips. She wrapped her arms around his broad back, her thighs hugged his hips as they gently rolled against her. He wasn’t done with her.
‘I love you too,’ Edér said as he pulled away just far enough to look the Watcher in the eye, just long enough to see her face as he entered her.
Gaura beamed at him. She bit her lip as he pushed further into her, enjoying the feeling of being stretched. Her belly felt hot with arousal again. She pulled Edér down on her, giggling in his ear, that grew louder when he heard the farmer curse in response. Her laughter softened to a melodious moan as he began moving, thrusting into her at a relaxed pace.
‘Love it when you sound like that,’ Edér left a sloppy kiss on her cheek.
‘I love it when you make me sound like that.’
Hearing that, the farmer reached below Gaura and lifted her by her waist slightly. She gasped when she felt the new angle. Each of his movements ignited sparks within her, and soon she found herself clinging to him, moaning his name into his ear. Edér slammed into her hard with a groan as an answer, stealing the Watcher’s breath away.
A moment later, the world seemed to have shifted and Gaura was upright, kneeling at the edge of the bed with Edér, straddling Edér, moving with Edér. He held her with an iron grip, one arm around her shoulder, another around her waist, trying to keep her in place as he kept thrusting into her hard. But even as close as he held her there was just about enough room for her to move still. She rocked against him, meeting him with slight motions of her own and that slight, sweet added friction nearly pushed Edér over the edge. He cursed loudly and the Watcher answered with an adoring laugh. The farmer pulled her down on him hard, turning the last notes of her laughter into a moan. He did love it when she sounded like that, and she did love it when he made her sound like that.
Edér looked up at the Watcher as if he couldn’t bear to look at anything else. Gaura cupped his face, lightly kissed his forehead over and over, whispering against his skin.
‘I needed this, Edér. I… I need you.’
The farmer picked up the pace. It wasn’t long before Gaura felt her senses growing overwhelmed for him again. She couldn’t keep moving, she could only hold him close as she was consumed by the ecstasy he invoked. She heard her name. Edér held her as if he was desperate to lose himself in her and as if she was the only thing that could stop him from doing so. With one last hard thrust he found his release and for a few moments that stretched infinitely he remained as he was: on his knees, holding his beloved.
The Watcher blew a kiss on the farmer’s hair. Edér let out a breathless chuckle at that. He pulled out and lightly shoved Gaura off himself. She gasped, surprised, while he leaned over her, laughing, leaving one sloppy, forceful kiss after the other on the large, glowing crack in the middle of her chest. That got her laughing too. Edér looked up at her at that.
‘I love you.’
Gaura gently caressed his cheek. ‘I love you.’
Edér rolled off her with a groan. For a short while they laid next to each other like that, staring at the ceiling, their legs dangling off the edge of the bed, their silence only being broken by the muffled sounds coming from the other rooms in the brothel.
‘Apology accepted, I take it?’ The Watcher spoke into the empty air. She felt the bed shift next to her and a moment later she felt a broad set of fingers turning her face towards Edér.
‘I wasn’t really mad at you. You know that, right?’ He smiled at her adoringly. ‘Even if there was anything to forgive, I would’ve forgiven you by now.’
Gaura returned his smile. ‘I know.’
‘But if you want I can pretend I’m real angry at you, so that we can stay here a bit longer to work things out,’ he plopped back down on the bed with a sigh. ‘Not really in the mood to climb a mountain, right now.’
The Watcher pushed herself up, chuckling. She let her fingers trace the hair on Edér’s chest. ‘The night is still young.’
‘So… wasting more time here, it is,’ the farmer took her hand and lifted it to his lips. He got up a moment later and hastily slipped on his clothes. ‘Dunno about you, but I’m kinda thirsty,’ he chuckled as he turned around and winked at her. ‘Be back in a minute.’
Edér left as the Watcher sat up and followed him with her gaze.
‘No time is wasted on you,’ she told the closed door.

A Night at the Opera - part 2
A direct follow-up to this, as the name implies, depicting what happens after Gaura and Aloth leave the opera. ...it's sex, that is what happens
It's also 4400 words long, so yeah, click on the read more at your own peril
'You're back early.'
Edér was lounging on the Watcher's bed, reading a book bound in dark red leather. Gaura made her way to the bed as well, while Aloth closed the door behind them. She sat down on the edge with a sigh and began undoing her shoes. The walk back from the opera seemed especially endless considering the emotions that drove her and the wizard rushing down the mountain. Her feet were the real victims of her urgency.
'The play was in Vailian, we didn't understand much,' Aloth explained as sat down by the Watcher's desk and let his hair down.
'I can see why that would be a problem,' Edér moved to sit on the edge of the bed as well and left a peck on her cheek. 'Next time, I make the date plan.'
'We still had a lot of fun,' Gaura said matter-of-factly, glancing at Aloth who was now busy untying his sandals. She thought of the way he kept pulling at her as they kissed at the opera, the way he kept fighting his sense of decency and his need to get closer. 'It's a shame you didn't come along,' she added as she looked to Edér who kept his eyes fixed on her. His gaze reflected mischief and understanding. He could easily guess what their fun stemmed from.
'Yeah, well... maybe next time,' he shrugged.
'But now,' Aloth stood up and turned towards the farmer, 'do you think you can give us some privacy?' He asked with his arm crossed - a gesture of demand that wasn't quite as subtle as he intended.
Edér raised an eyebrow at him. He looked to Gaura , then back to Aloth again. A faint smirk appeared on his face. 'Sure,' he stood up and gave Aloth's shoulder a pat or two, 'guess you got a whole... rest of the play to make up for. Good luck with that.'
'Good night, Edér,' the wizard gave him a pointed look.
'Yeah, yeah,' he turned away to grab the book he left on the bed. 'You know where I'll be,' he said as he walked towards the exit, waving goodbye with his source of entertainment for the night.
As Aloth's gaze fell onto the deep red cover, his eyes widened in recognition. And dread. 'Wait, is that one of my-'
'Good night, Aloth,' Edér called out as he left the cabin, slamming the door shut as the last note of his call faded, leaving only Gaura's laughter filling the silence. The wizard's gaze still lingered on the door as his hand slowly moved towards his mouth. A moment later, he looked towards the Watcher and let out a short, mirthless laugh as well.
'I suppose, sooner or later he would have to learn about the things we like, anyway,' he shrugged, then sat down next to the Watcher. 'Besides, I... I have a hard time feeling concerned about what he is getting up to.'
'Good. If you want tonight to be about just us,' the Watcher said as she placed a hand on Aloth's knee, 'then it better be just about us.'
Aloth didn't answer. For a moment, he merely watched her, allowed himself to be enraptured by her visage - her tunic lightly enveloping her body, her chest lightly heaving from the long walk down the mountain and the purely, barely contained desire that her eyes betrayed. When his eyes met hers again, he uttered a spell to protect himself from her flames and yet he voiced the words as breathlessly as if he was trying to describe wonders beyond his comprehension. She softly laughed as a response, then reached for his face with her free hand and pulled him onto her lips. Her hand wandered down his neck, leaving goosebumps in the wake of her touches, until she reached his tunic. She lightly pulled at the fabric to gain access to the wizard's collarbone, drawing a gasp out of Aloth, only for him to kiss back harder the next moment, leaning closer into their contact. He wrapped his hands around her torso, and held on to her side as if she was his anchor. Gaura, however, pulled away just as suddenly as she kissed him, freeing herself from the loving trap of Aloth's embrace and leaving the wizard yearning for her closeness.
He didn't have to yearn for long, however.
'Come here,' Gaura said as she lightly tapped on her thigh a few times. Aloth looked to her lap and let out a bashful chuckle. He steadied himself by holding onto the Watcher's shoulder and moved on to straddle her.
'I wanted to do this back at the opera,' his voice rang shyly but he still smiled down at her.
'Somehow, I had a hunch,' Gaura claimed the wizard's lips again. He relaxed at their contact, placing a little more weight on her and she couldn't help but smile against his lips. She enjoyed that weight on her, she enjoyed the way his thighs hugged hers, she enjoyed the way he held her by the back of her head. He touched her lightly and yet that was enough to keep her at the distance he wanted, at the angle he needed to kiss her with all the hunger and need that pent up in him during the night. She in turn kept him steady by his hip and to her surprise, Aloth answered to her touch. He rocked his hip against her. It was a quick, shy motion, barely there, that could've been easily mistaken for a shudder. But the Watcher knew him. And Aloth trusted her. It was like a secret shared by discreet confidants.
'I like it when you get needy,' Gaura whispered, breaking their kiss. But before Aloth could answer anything, she reached for his hair and wrapped it around her knuckles. The wizard gasped, but didn't take another breath while he anticipated the light tug, that came after. Gaura latched onto his arching neck, leaving a trail of sloppy kisses from his chin to his collarbone. Aloth tightened his hold on the back of her head, pressing her down harder against him. When the Watcher reached the neck of his tunic, she took the fabric between her teeth and lightly tugged at it. 'Help me get this off you.'
Aloth stole one more shallow kiss as an answer, before he straightened his back and reached for his belt. He undid it without looking, without turning his gaze away from the Watcher's eyes. Gaura in turn let her hands roam along his body, caressing him through his clothes as if she couldn't contain the anticipation of touching his skin. She guided her hands eventually to his thighs and when she did so, she slowed her movements, she savored every fraction of a moment as she pushed his tunic up to his hips, she savored the goosebumps and the shivers and the lust reflected in those dazzling eyes of his. Meanwhile, Aloth removed a pin by his shoulder and allowed the fabric to fall into his lap, exposing his chest but only in part.
'I'd... like it if you took this one out yourself,' he said, biting his lip and pointed to his other shoulder.
Gaura cocked her head, pretending to ponder his request. She brushed the fabric covering Aloth aside, until it merely hung off his shoulder but as she did so, he reached for her face, preventing the tunic to fall off him. 'Something tells me, you want me to take this off in a... very specific way,' she said as she left a sloppy kiss on the wizard's chest, then a few others on each of his collarbones.
'I... I liked the way you nipped at my clothes just now,' he admitted breathlessly, enjoying the feeling of the Watcher's lips on his shoulder. 'Please,' he added when he felt a pause in those kisses, only to hear a soft chuckle as a response and feel the pin slowly sliding out of his clothes, followed by the relief of the tunic falling to the ground. Gaura pulled away and took the pin out of her mouth. She flicked it away, but Aloth couldn't be bothered to see where it fell. By the time it hit the floor, his lips were already on the Watcher's and this time, he didn't restrain himself from grinding against her. Gaura's hands explored his back but the anticipation she wanted to build in him had a greater pull on her. When her hands moved to Aloth's hips again, she felt him smile against her lips. She pulled away, and flashed an impish smile at him before she leaned forward to leave a kiss on the center of his chest. She traced a path with gentle touches of her lips until she reached his nipple. The wizard let out a staggered sigh as her lips closed around the nub and her fingers hooked into his underwear. He eagerly lifted himself slightly so she could pull down the fabric along his thighs, forcing her to detach from his chest, and as he sat back down, Gaura felt his tension in every fiber of his being. She reached around his waist with one hand while she lifted the other to her lips to gather some of her spit in her palm.
'I hope my hand is not too dry,' the Watcher said as she took Aloth's cock in her hand, sending shivers down his body. She touched him gently, waiting for a response, desperately trying to hide her own need to see the beauty of his ecstasy.
'It feels perfect,' his voice rang with pure adoration. A moment later, a shade of self-awareness appeared on his face. Gaura chuckled. He always seemed to use the wrong words when his heart was overflowing with fondness, but before he could correct himself she closed the gap between them, and tightened her grip lightly around his erection. She rubbed him slowly, recalling the rhythm of a serenade from the opera. She thought of the love expressed in words she couldn't understand, the intensity of the melody and she wanted it all, she wanted it along her fingertips so she can show it to Aloth through her touch alone. The wizard moaned into their kiss as she pumped his shaft with more determination. However she kept her pace slow and steady, a pace he found sweetly frustrating but easy to keep up with. He began lightly moving on top of her again, gently thrusting into her grip. Gaura softly laughed at that, breaking the kiss.
'If you want me to go faster, you can just ask,' she said as she picked up her pace, drawing a groan out of Aloth. He didn't kiss her again, instead he rested his forehead against hers. He tried and failed to keep the sounds forming in him trapped in his throat, and breathed them quietly into the small space between them. The Watcher let out a hum, an approving and impatient sound as she moved her hand even faster, unable to contain her excitement and love for him.
'Gaura,' he whispered her name after a while, and Aloth found himself unable to keep moving, unable to do anything but to hold on to the Watcher and let her have her way with him. A hand came to rest at the back of Gaura's head while another gripped the clothes on her back so fiercely that she and Aloth both wondered if he'll manage to tear it. But Aloth couldn't care of he did and Gaura found the possibility amusing. She pulled him closer by his waist and leaned to his ear. She gently took it in her mouth, caressing his earlobe with her lips and her tongue, prompting him to hold her tighter, and to bury his head in the curve of her neck. She felt him tense up on her lap and a moment later she felt a clumsy, sloppy kiss on her neck, then another and another, with a longer and longer pause between each.
'Look at me, love,' Gaura's voice rang hoarsely from lust. Aloth hesitantly pulled away, barely, just enough to be able to look her in the eye. His face reflected his building pleasure and the Watcher couldn't help but bite her lip, seeing him so close to the edge. 'You are so precious,' she said, admiring him, as her hand around his cock picked up the pace once again. Aloth tried to respond something, but all that escaped his lips were a long, cathartic moan, as his eyes fluttered shut and his seed spilled on Gaura's belly. She slowed down her rubs, but didn't stop, trying to draw out his ecstasy as much as she could, Aloth, however, didn't let her watch him. He kissed her so hard that she felt it in her teeth and as a sweet retaliation she bit his lower lip, lightly, laughing into their contact.
They couldn't tell how much time has passed by the time Aloth's breathing calmed down fully and he finally relaxed. He let out a sigh that turned into laughter almost as soon as he exhaled it. He pulled away to look her in the eye once again.
'You're really...' he shook his head, grinning both at her and his own inability to describe her.
'Really?'
'Remarkable,' he said as his gaze wandered down her chest, 'incredible, and...' his smile faltered and an short, apologetic laugh bubbled up from him, 'and I ruined your dress.'
Gaura followed his gaze to the mess he left on her. She looked back up at him, smirking with feigned disapproval. 'Oh no, whatever am I going to do,' she shook her head, 'I'm stuck wearing stained sails and the culprit is too handsome to push him off,' she said as she left a kiss above Aloth's heart, enjoying the sound of his laughter.
A moment later the wizard climbed off her, somewhat clumsily with his underwear trapping his legs. While he freed himself, Gaura stood up and removed the pins in her tunic, allowing the fabric to slide off her and pool at her feet. Aloth froze in his movements, stunned at her sight, while the Watcher bounced lightly on her heels a few times get blood flowing in her legs again. Then she stepped over her dress and was just about to make her way to her footlocker when the wizard came to his senses again. She was stopped in her tracks by a hand grabbing hers.
'Where are you going?' Aloth asked as he gently pulled her towards himself. When she got close enough he took both her hands.
'To the kitchen. I figured I could grab something to drink,' the Watcher answered, trying her best not to get distracted by the wizard lifting both her hands to his lips, and kissing each of her knuckles while holding her gaze. 'I... I wouldn't be away for long.'
Aloth pondered her words. He held onto Gaura as if he was a moment away from dragging her back into bed and showering her with kisses. Then the moment passed and he was still merely holding her hands, while a thought seemed to have crossed his mind that put a faint frown on his face.
'Alright,' he let her go, and turned away to cast a protective spell on their blanket.
Gaura went to footlocker and put on the first shirt she found, then quickly slipped out of the cabin. She snuck to the kitchen as inconspicuously as one with flaming hair could and sure enough, she found a flagon filled with khapa tea and a bottle of rum. She gathered the bottle under her armpit while she carried the flagon in one hand and two mugs in the other. By the time she got back to the cabin, Aloth was almost done turning their pillows fireproof. At the sound of the door opening, he looked up and dropped the pillow he was holding to rush to the Watcher's aid. He took the rum and one of the mugs, allowing Gaura to pour them some tea. The wizard carefully took her mug while she placed the flagon on her desk. When she turned back towards the bed, Aloth was already sitting on its edge, pouring rum into their mugs.
'Oh, I forgot to ask if you wanted any,' he said, lifting the bottle slightly.
'I would've said yes,' Gaura shrugged then she approached the bed. When she reached for her mug, however, Aloth pulled it away.
'You are...' he cleared his throat, blushing, 'you're rather overdressed.'
The Watcher chuckled at his fumbled attempt at being subtle, but obliged him nonetheless. She made sure to take off her shirt slowly. And when the wizard still didn't offer her the tea, she slipped out of her underwear as well.
'Better?' She turned around to let him look her all over. By the time her gaze met his again, he seemed almost mesmerized by her. The Watcher burst out laughing and dropped down on the bed beside him. Aloth handed her a mug and touched his against it.
'To you being beautiful and thoughtful.'
Gaura raised her mug. 'To you being beautiful and thoughtful.' As she took a sip of her drink, she felt Aloth's gaze on herself. He watched him lost in thought, a wistful smile tugging faintly at the corners of his lips. 'What's on your mind, love?'
The wizard was snapped out of his daze. He shook his head but his smile widened. 'It's nothing, just... This has been the second time I've been to the opera. I... Didn't imagine tonight would go the way it did back then.'
Gaura didn't respond. In the silence, Aloth turned somewhat bashful. The Watcher took a large sip from her tea, then climbed on the bed proper. She crossed her legs, fully turned towards Aloth and held on to the mug with both hands. She looked cozy like one ready to hear an interesting tale. The sight drew a chuckle out of the wizard and continued.
'It was many years, ago. I was still a student at the Academy. One of my peers had a patron gracious enough to treat us all to a night at the opera.'
'That's rather generous.'
Aloth scoffed. 'Hardly. It was a statement of prestige. And we didn't even see a play. It was a concerto. The musician was skilled but his performance was loud and obnoxious, or at least it sounded that way as close to the stage as we were,' he lifted his mug to his lips and shyly glanced at Gaura over it. 'I... I much prefer your performances.'
'Mm-hmm,' the Watcher squinted at him with fake suspicion.
'Regardless... I was quickly distracted by the boxes by the sides of the hall. You see, in Aedyr, the boxes in the opera houses also have curtains. And sure enough I've seen one being drawn, then another, and another. And...' he grew quiet. The wizard looked into his mug as if he could see his memories reflected by the liquid within. 'I was wondering if... I was looking at my future. I've been Awakened for a few years by then, and hiding my Awakening, hiding Iselmyr... it overlapped with many other aspects of my life. It was fairly easy to guess what was happening behind those curtains... Secret dealings, secret affairs... And I couldn't help but ask myself if... If I never found a cure to my Awakening... If I were to thrive regardless, if I were to experience love and intimacy... Would it also be something I could only experience hidden? As a secret of mine and by being someone else's secret?' He looked to Gaura who watched him intently. 'I was rather moody in my Academy years,' he let out a rueful chuckle as he continued. 'I think deep down I dreamt of meeting someone like you... but I didn't dare hope for it.' He took a sip from his mug, then placed it on the ground beside the bed, quickly casting protective spells as he did so. He leaned over to Gaura and took her mug as well. She didn't resist. Not even as he lightly pushed her on her back and crawled on top of her. 'Thank you, for... destroying my dreams,' he laughed, 'and replacing it with a better reality.'
'You planned tonight,' she grabbed him by the face and pulled him onto her mouth. 'Give yourself some credit,' she said once she let him go.
'I suppose, that's true,' he said as his hand wandered to her breast and lightly cupped it. The Watcher bit her lip at the sensation, and reached for Aloth's chin. She ran her thumb along his lower lip as he gave her breast a light squeeze. 'But it was hardly free of mishaps,' he moved lower and kissed the glowing mark in the center of her chest, enjoying the feeling of her harmless flames licking at his lips. 'And... I still have more planned.'
'Is that so?' Gaura's question ended in a gasp as Aloth took her breast in his mouth. The hand that has been fondling it slowly moved down her belly, down between her legs. He lightly rubbed her inner thigh, close enough to her sex that she could feel the ghost of his touches on her folds. She absent-mindedly moved her leg, closer to him, closer to her own pleasure. The wizard looked up at her and pushed himself up.
'Of course,' he removed his hand from the Watcher's thigh to lick some of his slender fingers. 'It would be rather callous of me to let you make me feel the way you do,' he reached between Gaura's legs and lightly ran those wet fingers along her folds, drawing a deep, satisfied chuckle out of her, 'and not try my best to do the same for you.'
Aloth leaned down to leave a kiss on her knee. From there he traced one of the cracks running along her leg, with his tongue at one moment, and his lips at another. Gaura reached down to caress his hair while he teased her, softly chuckling to herself - after all she could feel his impatience in the touch of his fingers. The wizard looked up at her, and for a moment it seemed time itself has stopped. Then he leaned forward to place a kiss right below the Watcher's belly button. But at the same time, his fingers entered her and the contrast of sensations drew a gasp out of her. Gaura wanted to rock her hips against his touch, hungry for more, and it took her every bit effort she could spare to stop herself. Her hold on Aloth's hair tightened as he hurriedly kissed his way down on her, while his fingers kept caressing her walls. The movements of his hand were slow but meticulous despite his eagerness. His mouth, on the other hand, loved up her clit rather sloppily. When Gaura felt the precious contrast of sensations, she let a breathless curse slip from her lips and let go of her restraint. She grinded against Aloth's mouth, and she glimpsed a smile hiding in his eyes. She laughed as she thought back to the way he was grinding against her earlier.
'You like it too, don't you? When I get needy for you,' she whispered, a hint of chuckle hiding in her tone, but when Aloth nodded without pulling away, whatever response she had in mind was swept away by the sensation. The Watcher threw head back as she moaned, drowning out the wizard groan against her, but she could swear she felt his voice. She felt it resonate along her nerves that he set ablaze, with increasingly faster movements. And then... he found the perfect spot. 'Fuck,' she cried out, 'right there, Aloth,' she pushed herself up slightly so she could look at him. She involuntarily moved her legs closer to him, until they brushed against the tips of his ears and her mind couldn't help but wander to the earlier hours of the night: to the feeling of her dress against her legs that seemed to have faded behind the feeling of Aloth touching her. To the taste of the strange wine that paled in comparison to the intensity of the pleasure building in her. To the music enveloping her, the songs about longing and separation, and she only felt overwhelmed to have Aloth with her. 'I love you so much,' she let herself collapse back onto the pillow. Her eyes fluttered shut, and with it she lost her sense of time. She only sensed what Aloth invoked in her, and she couldn't get enough of it, of him, right until she was overwhelmed with ecstasy.
'I love you too,' she heard the wizard's voice coming from above, and a moment later the Watcher felt a soft kiss landing on her lips, and a tongue brushing against hers, carrying her own slightly metallic taste. She wrapped her hands around his shoulders, trying to ground herself once again, while his fingers were slowly guiding her back to her senses as well. He pulled them out slowly as he pulled away - as much as he could with Gaura holding him.
'I have to say,' she said as she tucked a few unruly strands of hair behind Aloth's ears, 'leaving early feels like the right idea so far.'
'I'm inclined to agree,' the wizard laughed, and laid down on top of the Watcher, with his head resting over her heart. 'Do you mind if we stayed like this? Just for a minute?'
Gaura lifted her head and blew a kiss on his hair. 'We've got the whole night.'
'Indeed, although... if we go on like this,' he looked up at her somewhat shyly, 'I'm not sure I'll ever be able to go the opera again, and not think of... you. I mean, us. As we are right now.'
'Well, tonight was my first time at the opera... If I were to go again, tonight will be on my mind for sure.'
Aloth's gaze softened as he listened. He didn't answer right away, merely he reached for the Watcher's hand to lace his fingers with hers.
'That is both comforting and enticing to know.'

"you don’t have to be gentle. i won’t break. "
With casters/writer's choice.
Thanks, Anon, I kinda paraphrased the prompt, I hope you don't mind. And I also hope you don't mind that this got stupidly long (5.8k words... roughly... yeah). So here's some Aloth x Watcher x Edér filth.
Cw for graphic depictions of a threesome, including my Watcher getting dp-d so don't even look at this if you're a minor, don't even look at me, just... don't, just go.
Gaura couldn’t contain her excitement. She hummed a cheery tune to herself as she tied the straps of her nightgown, occasionally interrupting herself with giggles she couldn’t hold back. Her gaze kept wandering to her desk and to a book upon that desk: the fruit of her labors as an explorer working with Sanza. For the period of their partnership, the Watcher could feel like she was back in the Living Lands, discovering and rediscovering hidden corners and long abandoned wonders of the unknown. However, even her old profession didn’t offer her the privilege of recording her journeys as stories. On paper, the book was an explorer’s guide, but it felt more personal than the ones she used to pen all those years ago. Not that she ever had an issue with her name being left out of the pamphlets and travel journals that wanderers, researchers and would be settlers would use heading out into the Valleys. She was never the point – her findings were. But now, the book on her desk reflected her own name back at her, and now Captain Gaura would be remembered along with the Watcher of Caed Nua.
Once she was ready to head to bed, Gaura picked up the book and joined Aloth, who was engrossed in a surprisingly thin tome of his own. He only reacted to her presence when she gave his cheek a playfully forceful kiss. A quiet chuckle escaped him and the tips of his ear turned red. To his luck, the Watcher got distracted by movement by the cabin’s window.
Edér stood up from the footlocker when he finished his last smoke for the night. He reached his pipe out the window to empty the ashes within into the sea. He was momentarily distracted by the sound of Gaura’s lips on Aloth’s face and the chuckle she received as a response. The Watcher’s eyes met his when she noticed him standing and when her attention was turned back to the wizard, he was no longer holding his book. Edér closed the window with a fond smirk then joined them as well. He grabbed Gaura as soon as he reached the bed and pulled her as close as he could without burning himself with her flames. She let out a surprised laugh, then as she too became aware of their proximity she turned around and lightly pushed his face away from her. Edér merely laughed back at her, and leaned in again, now at the right angle to steal a kiss from her.
‘Love it when you get like this before bed,’ he said, still grinning at her as he let her go, and reached his hand towards Aloth, wordlessly asking him to cast protective spells on him.
‘Savor tonight, then,’ he answered, ‘with the Explorer’s Guide printed, who knows when we get to find some gods-forsaken place that will offer her the thrills she seeks.’ Aloth flashed a smile at the Watcher that somehow looked both apologetic and mischievous, before he granted Edér’s request.
‘Come on, you can’t tell me you didn’t have some fun too.’ Gaura lied down, and almost immediately, Aloth moved to her side and buried his face in the curve of her neck. Edér lied down on her other side and wrapped an arm around her belly. He left one absent-minded peck on her shoulder after the other.
‘Ah, yes, the joys of nearly being buried alive in some sandy tomb,’ Aloth’s sarcasm was undermined by his fondness in his voice.
‘Or watching you drink that weird swamp water,’ Edér added.
‘Or battling powerful lich wizards.’
‘And now travelers in the Deadfire will know how to avoid all those things,’ Gaura retorted. She realized that they’ve lied on her copy of the travel guide and blindly started looking for it, reaching under their pillows. ‘Because Captain Gaura ventured far and wide to find the most exciting places and the safest routes to reach them,’ she said triumphantly as she pulled out… the wrong book.
‘Huh?’ As the Watcher held up the thin red book, it opened at a seemingly random page – at an intricate illustration of two men making love to the same woman, entering different orifices at the same time.
Edér pushed himself up to take a closer look. ‘Huh.’
Aloth looked up a mere moment later, and his eyes widened as he recognized the volume. ‘Oh gods,’ he sat up surprisingly fast, snatched the book out of Gaura’s grasp and hid it, in what seemed like the same move. He sat then, with his hands elegantly laying in his lap and his back perfectly straight. A single, stray lock of hair fell into his face. He cleared his throat, trying to ignore it. When he failed, he tucked it behind his lowered, red ear. He did his best to avoid Edér’s and the Watcher’s gaze. But once again, he failed. He lied down, once again, propping himself up with his elbow.
‘It seems mine is not the only explorer’s guide in this bed,’ Gaura commented, a faint, amused smile hiding in the corners of her lips.
‘Yeah, but yours ain’t got any pictures.’ Edér took out the travel guide from under his waist and quickly flipped through it.
‘You’re supposed to use your imagination,’ the Watcher took her book from him.
‘Sorry, mine ain’t as vivid as Aloth’s.’ He winked at the wizard, whose blush somehow turned to an even deeper shade.
‘Right, laugh it up’ Aloth lied on his back, pointedly looking at the ceiling, ‘but you can’t fault me for being curious. And studious. And prepared.’ He crossed his arms, defiantly, drawing an adoring laugh out of Gaura.
‘I’m not making fun of you-’
‘Even though it’s very funny.’
Edér’s interruption earned him a light, backhanded slap on his chest.
‘You just… never mentioned you had such fantasies and I… never pegged you as someone who would.’
Aloth looked to her, then to Edér. Slowly an expression of anguish appeared on his face, as if he was trying to fight off an irresistible urge. Even without looking, Gaura could picture a grin slowly brightening Edér’s face next to her. The wizard eventually shut his eyes tight as he gave up with a sigh.
‘I wouldn’t mind if you did peg me,’ he said, barely louder than a whisper. Edér burst out in happy laughter, satisfied hearing the effects of his and the Watcher’s questionable influence.
‘Yeah, good one! Up top!’ He sat up and raised his palm.
The wizard rose as well, fondness and feigned anger written on his face, as he slapped the broad, inviting palm. ‘I loathe you both, with all my heart.’
‘Sure, you do,’ Edér reached behind his head and pulled Aloth on his lips. The farmer chuckled into their kiss and kept it up even as he let him go and lied down again. The wizard in turn lied on top of Gaura and rested his head on her collarbone.
‘Yeah, this does feel like pure hatred,’ she teased as well.
Aloth groaned. ‘Can we just drop the subject?’
‘No.’
‘You did say we might not have decent opportunities to explore…’ Gaura ran a finger down along Aloth’s spine, ‘and that we should savor tonight…’
The Watcher’s barely subtle suggestion was met with silence. Aloth looked up at her, flushed, meanwhile Edér pushed himself up to stare down at her, shocked.
‘What?’ Her tone was flat.
‘I thought you were just teasing me.’
‘Thought we were just messing with him.’
The two men spoke at once, but while Aloth sounded astonished and almost relieved, Edér seemed more baffled with each word.
‘Well… I wasn’t. That illustration did look pretty fun,’ Gaura shrugged, then wrapped her arms around Aloth, hoping that the comfort of his presence would repress the shyness threatening to overcome her at the sudden attention of her lovers.
‘Really?’ They spoke in unison once again.
‘You know me,’ she chuckled, ‘I’m a pretty curious sort too.’
‘Yeah, I mean, I did know that-’ Edér began, and plopped down next to the Watcher again trying to find the right words to continue.
‘But you also don’t give the impression that you like-’ Aloth spoke tactfully until his words seemed to have stuck in him. He gestured at his book as best as he could lying on top of her instead.
‘Backdoor stuff,’ Edér helped him out.
Silence filled the room for a moment that seemed to have stretched infinitely.
‘I don’t know if I do, I never tried it before.’
‘Yeah, now that I figured,’ Edér turned to her. His gaze was warm as he lightly touched her shoulder with his knuckles. ‘All the girls I’ve been with told me it’s an exit, not an entrance and that it can hurt pretty bad if you do it wrong and just…’ He shrugged, unable to explain himself further. His worry was written into the movement, however, as was his affection into his eyes.
The Watcher smiled at him reassuringly. ‘And you always preferred being gentle with me,’ she reached out to cup his face. Edér moved his hand from her shoulder and pressed her hand against his cheek harder. ‘You can still be gentle with me,’ she went on, ‘and even if you weren’t, I can handle it. I trust you, both of you, with all of me,’ she said as she looked down at Aloth, who was watching her intently.
‘That means more to me than you know,’ the wizard said with a faint smile that disappeared a moment later. ‘Still… don’t you think this might be a little too much, too fast?’
‘As if I could ever get enough of you,’ Gaura laughed fondly, ‘of either of you.’ She sighed. ‘Anyway, I won’t make any of you do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing, so… if you ever change your mind, you can just let me know.’
Aloth looked towards Edér for a brief moment. ‘If you’re certain,’ he began, turning his attention back to the Watcher, ‘then I’m willing as well. Just… don’t overextend your limits for us.’
The farmer was silent, even when all attention was on him. ‘Yeah, you keep talking to us,’ he looked to Gaura, ‘things don’t feel anything less than great, you let us know. Don’t care if you think you can handle pain, I don’t want you to have to handle anything.’
Gaura chuckled to herself. ‘You’ll be the first to know.’ Her response was met with a gentle caress on her cheek from Edér, and an affectionate smile from Aloth. The wizard then sat up, seemingly having remembered something.
‘I did buy some waterproof massage oils the last time we went to the Luminous Bathhouse,’ he said as climbed off the bed and made his way to his pack, ‘we probably will need it.’
Edér and Gaura looked to one another, both wondering how long Aloth may have been planning the night. The thought enticed the Watcher. Curious, studious and prepared, indeed. She sat up so she could keep an eye on the wizard. She cocked her head to the side and bit her lip as she watched him. There was something thrilling about seeing this side of him - an undiscovered corner of his mind where his desires lay - and having been invited to explore it. A touch snapped her out of her musings, however. Edér wrapped an arm around her belly and pulled her down to lie next to him. Before she could react, the farmer changed his grip on her, digging his fingers into her hip and guiding it to his own lap. Gaura gasped at the feeling of his bulge growing hard against her already.
‘And here I was worried you weren’t really on board,’ she noted as she backed up against him slightly more. Edér stifled a groan and slid his hand down her thigh to edge of her nightgown. He tried to push the fabric up slowly, but his impatience got the better of him. The Watcher laughed at that, joy and relief clearly ringing in her voice.
‘You know, I got a weakness for you, Honeycake,’ Edér leaned right over Gaura’s ear, ‘and I’d lie if I said I wasn’t getting any ideas, so…’ He now reached for the straps of her nightgown and untied one with a single but excruciatingly slow pull. ‘So just leave the worrying to me, and remember what we agreed on.’
‘Keep talking to you?’
‘Keep talking to me,’ Edér kissed the soft spot under the Watcher’s ear, slowly and sloppily, while he revealed her breast and began fondling it. Gaura exhaled a quiet moan and instinctively pressed her thighs tighter together, trying to slow her arousal already building within her.
‘Well… for starters,’ she rolled her hips against him, matching his pace, ‘this feels very nice. It’s getting me really, really eager to please too.’ She let out a wistful sigh, as she turned around and pushed lightly against Edér’s chest. Her breath caught when she felt his heart racing under her hand. ‘You might not like it though,’ she leaned over him, close enough to feel his mustache against her lips, ‘after all, I won’t be able to talk.’ She claimed his lips, her teasing smirk turning the kiss shallow but not any less hungry. The farmer chuckled at her intensity and answered it with lightly, and slowly caressing her back.
‘I think I can forgive you,’ he gently pushed her away, eventually. His face was clearly flushed, but it was also red from the heat of Gaura’s flames.
He got out of the bed, just as Aloth approached them with a clear, elegant glass bottle. The farmer stopped him by his shoulder before he could climb on the bed and he in turn gave him a knowing look. He gave Gaura the bottle then reinforced his protective spells on the both of them while she examined the exquisitely blown waves adorning bottle.
‘I bought this because it reminded me of you,’ Aloth sat beside her and rested his chin on her shoulder. He easily removed the plug even with one hand and brought it to the Watcher’s nose. The smell of sandalwood was palpable the moment the bottle was opened, but as she inhaled more of the oil’s scent, she smelled a sweet, floral fragrance as well. It evoked an image of massage rooms, the penumbra born of the light of scented candles and the smoke of burning incense. Under any circumstances, it would have relaxed Gaura, but in that very moment it only fueled her anticipation.
It didn’t help that Edér was busy stripping naked right at the edge of the bed. Gaura bit her lip to hide the hungry grin brightening her face, but it only added an impish quality to it.
‘What do you think, Edér? Should we cover your chest in it?’ She teased, then turned to Aloth. She gently lifted his chin from her shoulder and left a short, gentle kiss on his lips as she handed him the bottle of oil. She moved to the edge of the bed but before she could say or do anything else, Edér pulled her on his lips. He blindly untied the one strap keeping her nightgown on her, and as the fabric pooled at her knees, she felt a second pair of hands reaching for her underwear. Aloth carefully pulled it down her thighs then with the same care and tenderness, he traced a crack on her thigh back to her hip. A gasp escaped Gaura, but the farmer didn’t let her move away from him: he kept her in place by the back of her head. Aloth completed her loving prison by embracing her from behind. She heard a kiss by her ear, but she didn’t feel it. She could only assume he was kissing Edér’s wrist, since he let her go a moment later. The next kiss the wizard gave away landed on the curve of Gaura’s neck. As was the next, and the one after that. He set himself a pace while his hands on her hips moved to her front. One hand remained on her belly, the other slid down, right between her thighs. The Watcher leaned her head back against Aloth’s shoulder as he began lightly rubbing her clit.
‘Yeah, I think I’ll pass,’ Edér said with a smirk. Gaura responded by reaching for his erection, quickly wiping his expression from his face.
‘It… it doesn’t have to be your chest,’ the last note of her suggestion turned into a moan. The farmer watched her lips and a chuckle bubbled up from her.
‘Doubt I’d like it more than what your mouth can do,’ he glanced at Aloth, ‘you think you can let her lie down?’
‘I was about to suggest it,’ the wizard answered and let go of the Watcher. Gaura backed away from Edér as well, slightly so she could lie on her belly, when Aloth grabbed her hand. ‘I’d prefer it, if you were on your back.’
Gaura turned towards him, clumsily, obstructed by her clothes at her knees. She laughed at her herself as she dropped down on her back and she heard Aloth echo her. He quickly slipped her constraints off her and leaned over her. He claimed her lips, still smiling, only to have them be interrupted by a voice coming from above them.
‘Not to bother you, but…’ Edér tapped the wizard on his shoulder. Aloth looked up at him and sat up. The farmer in turn reached for the Watcher’s chest and pulled her closer to the edge of the bed, drawing a surprised yelp out of her. He left a sloppy kiss on her cheek as he straightened again, only supporting her by the back of her neck. It was only then, that Gaura realized that her head would be dangling off the bed, if it weren’t for that loose hold on her. Edér’s cock was right by her face and she instinctively angled herself to take him in her mouth. ‘Wow, you weren’t lying about being eager,’ the farmer laughed, only for his laughter to turn into a short, low groan as he felt a kiss land on the base of his shaft.
‘Or about trusting us,’ Aloth noted as he climbed over the Watcher again. ‘Are you sure you’re comfortable like this?’ He asked her, prompting her to try and lift her head.
‘Well, now I’m not,’ she feigned a complaint as she leaned into Edér’s hold again. ‘This is kinda nice, though.’
‘How about now?’ Edér angled her head slightly downwards. Gaura’s gasped – it hasn’t fully sunk in how much she’ll have to rely on him. The farmer smiled down at her as he lightly caressed her neck with his thumb. ‘I got you,’ he reassured her, ‘won’t do that again, don’t worry.’
‘Then…’ she began, her heart easing as she got used to her position, ‘yeah, I’m good. This is…’ she was interrupted by Aloth’s lips touching her collarbone. His kisses were featherlight as he traced a faint crack down her breast. ‘This is very comfortable.’ She reached for the wizard, and lazily rested her hand on the top of his head. She enjoyed the feeling of his hair between her fingers as her grip tightened with every kiss he left on her chest, working his way down to her sex. At the same time Edér guided the tip of his cock to her mouth, wordlessly asking her to let him in. Gaura parted her lips for him just as Aloth ran her tongue along her folds. She took a deep breath and within a fraction of her moment, Edér lightly thrust into her mouth, muffling the moan she exhaled.
‘Tap on me, if you need air,’ the farmer said as he pushed further into her, ever so slightly, further and further with each thrust.
Gaura’s eyes fluttered shut from the sensations Aloth evoked, however. His mouth closed around her clit as he lapped at it, setting the Watcher’s nerves ablaze. His thumb rubbed her folds, much slower than the movement of his tongue and the contrast got her squirming, barely visibly. She wanted to hold him by his hair and grind against his face, she wanted the waves of pleasure his touches promised, and her restraint was quickly fading as her senses grew slowly overwhelmed by Aloth and as her focus was occupied by Edér. Then, almost as if Aloth could tell what she was thinking, he dragged his tongue along Gaura’s slit. She wanted to throw her head back and let her voice out, to show him a glimpse of the pleasure building in her. But the best she could do was a staggered moan that was rhythmically pushed back into her throat by Edér’s cock. Her grip tightened on the wizard’s hair, and he took that as encouragement: he loved her labia up with ever changing pace and ever changing patterns. He spoiled and challenged her, and Gaura answered without realizing – all her focus was on breathing. She rocked her hip at the same rhythm as Edér, and Aloth followed it, but his pace remained quicker. Gaura lost her sense of time and soon, she realized, she had a truly hard time breathing steadily. She tapped on Edér’s thigh, hesitantly, with a trembling hand and he pulled out immediately.
‘That felt pretty damned great, Honeycake,’ the Watcher could only vaguely make out the words over the sounds escaping her and her heart beating like a war drum in her ears. Edér changed his grip on her and knelt down. Her eyes popped open as she felt her head against his chest, her horns lightly scratching his collarbone. ‘Relax,’ he spoke with a voice hoarse with lust.
Gaura wanted to answer something witty. Or anything at all. But almost as if to emphasize Edér’s words, Aloth slipped his fingers in her. The Watcher could only curse as he brought back the familiar rhythm and as his tongue teased her sensitive clit again. And this time her body gave in to his care. Ecstasy washed over her in waves, each stretching into infinity, even as Aloth gently guided her senses back to her.
‘Help her back onto the bed,’ he told Edér, who merely helped the Watcher turn on her belly, then she pushed herself up, unable to stop grinning and unable to resist Aloth’s touches as he hugged her from behind. She twisted herself to claim his lips, disregarding the awkward angle. He kissed back slowly, allowing her to savor her taste on his tongue, and in turn she allowed him to enjoy Edér’s taste on hers. Aloth then backed away from her, allowing Gaura to lie down again, on her stomach, casually propping her head by the elbow and crossing her ankles lifted in the air. She would have looked bored had it not been on the excited, mischievous grin tugging at her lips.
‘You think you could go for more?’ Edér flashed a cheeky smirk at her as he sat on the bed as well, right beside Gaura. He idly traced the cracks on her back with a finger as his grin slowly faded and left only a gaze warm with care.
‘Mm-hmm, ready and eager,’ the Watcher smiled up at him. Edér turned away for a moment, following Aloth gathering pillows behind the two of them. While he was distracted, she reached for his still erect cock and began stroking it at a lazy pace. The farmer let out a satisfied hum as he looked to her again. He shook his head in disbelief, with a fond smile plastered on his face.
‘You’re really something, you know that?’ His voice rang with affection.
‘All too well,’ she smirked at him impishly. Her attention was then claimed by Aloth, who gathered their pillows and now busied himself propping her up by her abdomen. She let herself down, her head now rested by the edge of the bed and she thought back to the feeling of being supported by Edér alone, and as she did so, she noticed her strange imbalance. Her hips were higher than her head. Just slightly, but the realization drew a giggle out of her.
Aloth then pushed against her thighs. ‘Are you sure you wouldn’t rather face me?’ He asked as he caressed the inside of her thighs with his knuckles.
‘Is this not comfortable for you?’ The Watcher turned her head towards him, but failed to truly see him.
‘What matters is that you are comfortable.’
Gaura smiled to herself as she rested her head on the bed again. ‘I am comfortable. And I trust you.’
She felt a soft kiss being placed on the small of her back. A moment later, a now familiar scent filled the Watcher’s nostrils. The next thing she knew, cool, viscous liquid was dripped onto her ass. Aloth applied the oil generously on his hands and his fingers moved gently and precisely. And to the Watcher’s surprise, his touch against her anus felt… strangely pleasant.
‘Try to relax,’ he said and Gaura couldn’t quite tell if it was aimed at her or himself, ‘being tense is the surest way to get hurt,’ his words sounded like a recital. A moment later she felt his fingers again, this time pushing further inside her. Her breath caught in her throat as the wizard pumped one finger, than two, carefully introducing her body to the strange new sensation. A kernel of arousal formed in the Watcher’s belly as she enjoyed the friction of his fingers entering her and the gentle sparks that friction ignited along her nerves.
However, that was all she felt. Aloth’s presence in her was pleasant as always, his touch, tender and precious as always. And yet the kernel in her didn’t sprout, the sparks within her didn’t spread. There was only a pressure building towards… nothing, and it only left her frustrated.
‘Don’t you think, that’s gonna be enough oil?’ She asked, her impatience getting the better of her.
‘I’d rather use too much of it, than too little,’ Aloth answered and left a reassuring kiss on her back.
‘It feels more than enough, if you ask me.’
Aloth’s movements stopped at that. ‘If you say so…’ he said somewhat shyly and a little hesitantly. Then the feeling of his fingers was gone.
‘How do you feel?’ Edér’s voice came from above her, and Gaura didn’t know what to say without offending. She was certain that if the lack of intensity can be explained, the reasons would be found on her end, rather than on Aloth’s.
‘Like there was something in my ass,’ she said with an awkward chuckle.
‘Does it hurt?’ Edér followed up.
‘No, it’s kind of nice, just… I don’t know I expected things to be more intense.’
‘Well, those were just my fingers. Maybe it will feel more intense as we go on,’ Aloth chimed in, as he lined himself up behind her.
Gaura held her breath when she felt Aloth enter her. He only pushed the head in first, as if he was testing waters, then when he concluded how easily the Watcher’s ass would receive him, he continued. She tensed up at the discomfort he evoked, prompting the wizard to stop and lightly rub the base of her waist.
‘Remember to relax,’ his reminder almost sounded like a plea. Gaura couldn’t help but wonder how he was feeling. As he moved again, slow and deep, a quiet moan escaped him. The sound enticed her, his touch comforted her and in a matter of few, careful and graciously slow thrusts, she grew used to him. Aloth took his time as he reached further and further in her, until her ass was right against his lap. He stopped then, as if he needed a moment to comprehend what he was feeling. The Watcher took that moment to push herself up on her knees and to start rocking herself against him. Aloth grabbed her hip and in that contact she could feel a tremor running through him. She chuckled at that, lovingly, a little smugly, the way she would whenever she pleased him. Maybe that was the intensity she was supposed to look forward to, she mused, as she enjoyed the faint arousal his friction brought, even though the pressure within her brought no release.
‘You look like you’re having fun,’ Edér commented as he was stroking himself, watching her intently.
‘Only as much as I had with you down my throat,’ she teased him.
‘Oh, thank the gods,’ Aloth sighed behind them. ‘I… I was starting to feel quite guilty,’ he spoke breathlessly. ‘You feel… beyond anything I can describe… as you always do.’ He leaned over her and showered her back in kisses. The Watcher laughed, but she still pulled away from him. She gave Aloth an apologetic look as she turned around.
‘Then I hope you can forgive me for getting a little greedy,’ she stole a kiss from him, then she gestured towards Edér. Aloth understood her voiceless request. He lightly touched his shoulder as he cast his spell on him, then left a quick kiss on his hair before he turned back to the Watcher. Gaura pushed against his chest as she hungrily sized him up. The wizard let out a faint grunt as his back hit the bed, then a wide smile brightened his face as he watched her climb on top of him. The Watcher claimed his lips, and poured all her affection and gratitude into their kiss. For a moment, she laced her fingers with his, sealing her trust and comfort into their touch. Then she pulled away, and turned her back on him. She moved on to crouch over him, and braced herself for the now familiar discomfort that would follow. She guided his cock into herself again, but this time a single move was enough. A loud groan came from behind her as she got comfortable on top of him, then with a wiggle of her finger, she invited Edér to join them.
‘You sure, I won’t be too much?’ He asked as he closed the distance between them. He held her by her waist and rested his forehead against hers. He craved her closeness and she felt it in the smallest brush of his fingers against her skin.
Gaura smiled and tenderly cupped his face. ‘Trust me,’ she spoke softly, ‘I won’t break.’ She leaned back slightly as an invitation. Edér gave her a nod, a little unsure in himself, but fully confident in her. He lined up his stiff cock against her heat, and ground against her a few times, slowly and gently.
But even that took the Watcher’s breath away.
She hasn’t realized how ravenous she was, how sensitive she was. As the farmer entered her, she felt like a missing puzzle piece falling into place. Her arms threatened to give out under her.
‘Fuck, you feel tight like this,’ Edér grunted, failing to notice Aloth slightly squirm under the Watcher as if he too could feel his presence. Gaura involuntarily rolled her hips against them both, a high pitched, silent moan was carried by the heavy breath she exhaled, and she felt like every last of her nerves flared up by merely feeling the two men within her. She couldn’t even hear the groans she drew out from her lovers over the sound of her own heartbeat in her ears.
‘F- follow my lead,’ she breathed the words as she lied down on top of Aloth. The wizard wrapped his arms around her tight and instinctively, almost desperately, left one kiss after the other on her neck. Meanwhile Edér held her by her hips, or at least he tried to. His hands wandered along her thighs, to her hip again, to her belly, as if he couldn’t stop them from moving, as if he needed to touch her everywhere. ‘I’ll set a rhythm for us,’ the Watcher rolled her hips again, slowly, both to let the men with her find the right time to meet her with their thrusts and to let her mind catch up to her senses.
She felt like she was dancing. Presence and movement, movement and presence, everything Edér did was amplified by Aloth, everything Aloth did was amplified by Edér. Edér’s movement, Aloth’s presence, Aloth’s movement, Edér’s presence. Like colors building on top of another, like melodies forming a harmony. Gaura didn’t even notice she stopped moving, once they found the perfect rhythm and her stillness was soon followed by her release. She just about rode out the waves of her ecstasy when she felt her lovers picking up the pace.
‘Gods, but I love you both, I love you so fucking much,’ she whispered without care, without knowing if either of them even heard her. Her mind felt ablaze by the loving assaults on her senses and she could only hope she could come again before her lovers did because nothing else felt enough to relieve her.
‘I… I love you too,’ Aloth’s response was quiet and staggered, meanwhile Edér seemed to have been spurred on by the Watcher’s words. It took him every bit of restraint he had to remain gentle with her. Gaura might have told him he didn’t need to be, that he won’t break her, or maybe she just wanted to. Somewhere between her thoughts and her sounds, her words kept losing their coherence. The wizard on the other hand, seemed to have had a harder time to keep his movements up. He buried his face in the curve of her neck and tightened her hold on her. Her eyes fluttered shut when she heard the familiar rise in Aloth’s pitch, and sure enough, he filled her up soon, pushing her to her climax once again. And a mere moment later, she felt Edér finish as well, unable to resist the precious squeeze of her core.
Neither of them knew how long they stood there, waiting for their senses to return to them. Eventually, Edér pulled out and carefully helped Gaura get off Aloth. Shivers kept running through her, even though she wasn’t cold.
‘I… I should probably get cleaned up,’ the Watcher said but she wasn’t sure if she could walk just then. The next thing she knew was Aloth snuggling against her. He rested his head on her shoulder and wrapped an arm around her chest. His breathing was slow, as if he was ready to fall asleep. Edér moved closer to her well. His fingers kept trailing the cracks adorning her belly.
‘So… how’s that for exploration?’ He asked, his own awe-struck answer clearly hiding behind the question. ‘One for the history books?’
‘It was more of a hidden treasure for me,’ Aloth said without bothering to open his eyes. ‘Our little secret,' he let out a short, sleepy chuckle, 'I… I can’t help but feel rather greedy too,’ he yawned.
Gaura merely smiled to herself. One day she might find the words to describe the findings of that particular discovery.

Ages ago I joked that I would write bad smut bc I wasn't getting prompts. Except it wasn't really a joke, well, not entirely.
So anyway have a Team Gilded Vale threesome whatever, about 6k words long (some of that is plot if you can call it that).
Night was falling and the lanterns aboard The Defiant were being lit to chase away the oppressing penumbra setting on the docks of Neketaka. Gaura's gaze, however, was fixed on Aloth standing beside her. Small, magical flames burst in the lanterns that bathed the ship in blue light. The wizard's eyes widened in surprise and a faint smile spread on his face. Immeasurable relief washed over the Watcher.
'What's with all the blue?' Edér's voice came from behind her. She didn't notice him coming up from below deck. He stepped beside her and absent-mindedly wrapped an arm around her waist. Still, his eyes were fixed on the new lanterns and they were full of questions.
'I just thought I'd prepare a surprise,' Gaura flashed a satisfied grin at the farmer, that faltered when his expression didn't change. 'When we get to Dunnage, I'll prepare another one just for you,' she said already envisioning the cushions she'd get for the menagerie. She turned back to Aloth then. 'So... How do you like it?'
'I haven't seen many arcane lanterns since I left Aedyr,' he grabbed the Watcher's hand. 'Thank you, this is lovely.' His gaze drifted to Edér who was still squinting at the lights, confused. 'They are magical lanterns, they have a blue flame that does not burn, which makes them safe to use on boats.'
'No, I... I get that,' he crossed his arms. 'Just wondering what prompted this,' he looked at Gaura, as his face contorted into a cautious and apologetic expression. 'We missed some occasion or...?'
'No, it's nothing like that,' a quick sigh escaped the Watcher's lips as she turned to him. She gave his upper arm a light, reassuring squeeze. 'I just wanted to do something nice for you. We spend so much time on this boat, and we rarely get to do something just the three of us when we're ashore. I just thought...' she let go of the farmer. Her hand moved to her chest and she idly rubbed a spot in the center of it as if she could smooth out a small knot of anxiety that formed in her as she spoke. 'I figured if most of the time we spend together is spent stuck here then... I'd make things a little more romantic.'
It was an understatement, but Gaura couldn't bring herself to voice a fear within her that time and again reared its head in the back of her mind: that she was wasting time. Without knowing anything certain about Eothas' plans, the best thing she felt she could do was to prepare the Deadfire, to make sure it was stable enough that it could survive whatever the God of Light was up to. But the more time she spent on that, the more she felt like her failure was inevitable. And if that was true, then she had less time than she thought. And yet she couldn't regret a single moment she spent with the men by her side. She just wished she could spend them better.
Aloth reached for the hand on Gaura's chest, snapping her out of her musings. He guided it to his lips and blew a soft kiss on her knuckles.
'I'm grateful, Gaura,' he said. 'Although I need to remind you that we're all in a similar predicament - stuck on this boat, as you said.'
'Yeah, last time I checked you didn't hold it against us that we can't court you proper,' Edér stopped to ponder his own words. 'I suppose that's probably for the best. Doubt my sanity would survive if I had to put up with whatever Aedyrans call courting.'
'Because, clearly, Dyrwoodans have mastered the art of romance,' Aloth rolled his eyes at the farmer, failing to notice his smirk that have grown into a soft chuckle.
'Regardless, Aloth is right,' Edér continued, 'you're taking real good care of us already. No need to worry about us,' he once again wrapped an arm around Gaura's waist and pulled her closer to himself. He left a light, lingering kiss on her forehead. 'I'd say, things are working out just fine as far as we're concerned.'
The Watcher couldn't suppress the relieved smile creeping in the corners of her lips. She nodded barely visibly but even her own slight gesture helped. Even if the fear remained tucked away in a remote corner of her being.
'In that case,' she sighed, 'I have work to do before our departure in the morning. Those ledgers won't fill themselves.'
She only took a single step before Aloth called after her.
'Then let me help you with it. Simple logistics should not be beyond me.'
'Count me in,' Edér added, then he took the space next to the Watcher again and lightly elbowed her in the side. 'I've been filling out those ledgers before you have.'
Gaura scoffed and playfully pinched him in the arm. 'You think I didn't have to look at ledgers back at Caed Nua?'
'You think I didn't have to look at them back at Dyrford?' The farmer laughed and took her hand.
Edér guided her below deck where they spent what seemed an eternity, checking every crate and barrel, and carefully documenting every piece of cargo that was packed onto The Defiant - which included a certain set lanterns. Still, Gaura couldn't help but feel her spirits lifted whenever she felt Aloth's gaze on herself, only to see a shy smile when she looked up at him - a smile that did not match the shade of red coloring his cheeks and even the tip of his ears - or whenever she felt Edér place his stack of papers on her back to write - which was something he clearly did not need to do, nor did he refrain from stealing light touches along her spine. She felt time move forward in those moments and herself moving forward with it. And it all felt easy and comfortable.
Only when they were finished did the Watcher get a proper sense of the passage of time. She entered her cabin, stretching as she walked towards her footlocker and the window above. The sounds of a bustling city mingled with the sounds of the ocean and streamed into the cabin, when she opened the window. Night has already fallen but the deep blue of the sky was tinted with the lights of a city wide awake. Gaura chuckled with relief and excitement.
'I didn't realize the night was still this young.' she knelt on the footlocker to get a better view through the window. 'Maybe we could still go out, and see what Queen's Berth has to offer.' The Watcher turned back only to see Edér standing barely a step away from her, while Aloth was already casting spells on their bed.
'Or we could stay in,' the farmer said as he closed the distance and sat down beside Gaura. 'You're working pretty hard to keep this ship afloat, we could... practice enjoying it.' He placed a hand on her knee.
'We'll set sail tomorrow morning,' Gaura retorted. 'We'll have days to enjoy it then,' when Edér's expression didn't change, uncertainty took root in her. 'Are... Are you sure you don't want to...?'
'I would prefer a nice, private evening for ourselves too,' Aloth added in between two muttered spells. A moment passed in silence, only broken by the ruffling of fabrics upon the bed. 'No matter what we end up doing, I'm certain it will be special,' he continued then cleared his throat somewhat flustered. 'We are... the farthest thing from mundane, after all.'
'You take that back,' Edér joked.
The Watcher could only reply with a strained smile. She reached for the center of her chest and slowly rubbed at the largest crack running along her sternum. She didn't know how to explain, she didn't know how to shake the feeling that she was being utterly greedy.
'I just want...'
The word got stuck in her, maybe it never even left her heart: more. More space, more time, more of herself to spend with them. She shook her head.
'It's not important.'
'Kinda sounds like it is,' Edér moved his hand from her leg to her chin and carefully turned her head towards him. His eyes were full of concern and Gaura reflexively smiled at him. Anything to make that look disappear from his face.
'It's fine, Edér,' she leaned closer to him. 'I'm just feeling a little restless, I suppose,' she stole a shallow kiss from his lips, a flimsy attempt to hide her downplayed emotions.
Before he could respond in any way, she stood up from her footlocker and made her way to Aloth. He looked up at her approach, still holding on to a pillow he was about to cast a spell on, and shook his head even though he was unable to hide his smile or the blush spreading on his face.
'This is a rather blatant attempt to distract us,' he said but still allowed the Watcher to close the gap between them. Gaura kissed him slowly and as she angled her head to deepen the kiss, she felt a tremor run through the wizard and a moment later she heard the soft impact of the pillow against the floor.
'You say that, but you don't seem to mind.' She lightly touched the wizard's shoulder and ran her fingers down his arm, a grin spreading on her face as she felt goosebumps forming and the most gentle of contacts. 'Besides... was this not something you had in mind when you asked for an evening in private?'
Aloth blinked at her, in a mild daze. 'Y-... I mean, it was an option,' he swallowed and cleared his throat.
'It sure was on mine,' Gaura felt a large hand being placed on the small of her back. One of Edér's fingers tapped on the lace on the back of her vest - a subtle but barely hidden expression of his urge to get it off her as soon as she gives the word. A moment later, however he slid his hands to her slide and turned her towards himself. 'But if you're not really in the mood then...'
'Then,' the Watcher silenced Edér with a finger placed on his lips, 'I'd like you to put me in the mood.' She withdrew her hand and waited for a response. The farmer merely raised an eyebrow then shot a glance at Aloth behind her. She followed his gaze, freeing herself from his grasp, only to see the wizard shrug, at a loss but also flushed. Gaura let out a sigh. 'There will be time to talk once we set sail. I'll... I'll talk then. Or at least I'll try. I promise you both.'
For a moment, there was nothing but silence. Gaura's gaze moved between Edér and Aloth, hoping that if nothing else, that even if they won't distract her the way she tried to distract them, at least they'd let her off the hook. Any feeling would have been preferable over the ones her own thoughts evoked.
'You think you could help me out here, Aloth?' Edér's voice broke the silence. He reached a hand out to him almost like an invitation. Without hesitation, Aloth stepped closer and took it, then uttered a spell, allowing his magic to envelop both of them. The next thing Gaura knew, she was pulled on to the farmer's lips by the back of her head. His kiss was slow but slightly forceful. A comeback for her teasing, the Watcher thought and she couldn't help but smile, both relieved and satisfied. She felt nimble fingers undoing the lacing of her vest and she pulled away to let Aloth take it off her. She turned towards him to help him out of his clothes as well, but that was made all the more difficult by the wizard stealing shy but hungry kisses from her, while Edér reached for her front and let his hands roam along her chest, only stopping to give her breasts some squeezes that took the Watcher's breath away. She felt the farmer's lips against her ear as he spoke. 'I'm real happy you agreed to stay in. Doubt I could've touched you like this out in Queen's Berth,' he pulled Gaura's shirt out of her pants and slid a hand under it, spreading his broad palm on her belly, making sure that he got to touch as many of her cracks as he could, 'or at least not without wrecking Aloth's last nerve,' he chuckled.
Aloth scoffed as a response as he pulled away slightly. A moment later he looked to the side, with a blush that was more akin to embarrassment than lust. 'You're correct on that latter point,' he admitted, then his gaze met Gaura's once more. He took her hands in his, and pressed his lips on hers again - a silent request, and permission to guide his hands wherever she wanted them to be.
The Watcher chuckled at herself. It was almost ridiculous how predictable she was, she thought as she lead Aloth's hands to her pants, urging him to undo it for her. She expected him to reach beneath it and go straight between her thighs, but the wizard pulled away and instead he tugged at her pants by the sides of her thighs. Gaura stumbled slightly in her surprise, only to be caught by Edér behind her.
'Got you.' He reassured her. Still the Watcher straightened up and shuffled to the bed, laughing at her awkwardness.
'I'll need to sit down for this,' she said as she plopped down on the bed. She kicked off her one boot after the other, and wiggled out of her pants. She felt the bed shift just as she was about to remove the rest of her clothes and before she knew it, Edér has already wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close. He left a kiss on her temple and tried to leave another on her lips. Their embrace, however only allowed a shallow and somewhat uncomfortable kiss, still, Edér was relentless which only got the Watcher laughing. 'This is a horrible angle,' she said.
'Not quite,' Aloth leaned over Gaura, lightly resting his hand on her thigh, 'not for me, at least.' He slowly slid his hand towards her hips. The Watcher raised herself slightly to let him take her underwear off.
'Do you think you could let me go for a bit?' The Watcher asked Edér.
'If you promise to stay close,' he joked as he loosened his grip on her, so she could sit closer to the edge of the bed and lean back down against him. 'Comfortable?' He asked as he threw an arm around her again.
Gaura's attention was occupied by Aloth, however. He watched her intently, almost fixated by her bare legs and the cracks running along them. He took off the rest of his clothes, then knelt before the bed and left a feather-light kiss on the Watcher's ankle. She in turn spread her legs for him, sinking further into Edér's embrace while Aloth traced a path along her leg with light almost-kisses that got Gaura holding her breath in anticipation without her even realizing it. Only when he reached her crotch and looked up at her did she exhale. She opened her mouth to urge him but before any sound left her mouth, Aloth gently lapped at her clit, holding her gaze, and indulging her impatience by slowly drawing circles around the small nub. Instead of words a soft hum left her lips.
'Gods, I could melt on your tongue, love,' Gaura sighed the words as encouragement. And it yielded the exact response she wanted.
Aloth drew his tongue along her slit, stopping at her clit once again to lap at it swiftly and erratically. The Watcher stifled a moan and reached down to dig her fingers into his hair. She found a sweet duality in the way the wizard cared for her cunt that was just as arousing to her as his very touch. Aloth traced figures as if he intended to write them into her flesh, as if they were confessions he couldn't voice but he was willing to have them seared into her nerves or as if they were a spell he came up with solely to ignite sparks within her. She saw a system even behind his sloppiness, although she only ever got glimpses of it and her mind was always too hazy with pleasure to make sense of it. But she craved it, she yearned for it, enough that it got her grinding against his mouth.
'You're pretty impatient,' Edér said as he reached down for the Watcher's shirt and pulled it up to her neck, 'it looks real good on you.' He leaned down and kissed her on her forehead.
Gaura looked up at him, struggling to resist the urge to let her enjoyment shut her eyes close. 'You like what you see, huh,' she chuckled, only to feel Aloth suck on her lips and turn her laughter into a short moan. She heard a barely audible groan coming from her side, and somehow that managed to fuel her arousal more. She reached for Edér's thigh and let her fingers dance along the inner side of it. 'Then... how about you... indulge my impatience?' She managed to utter the words between the sounds Aloth has been drawing out of her as she palmed the farmer's bulge. Edér tensed up only for a moment then he shifted his weight, trying to fight the urge to buck his hips into the Watcher's hand. She continued. 'Show me... how much you enjoy yourself.'
Edér stared at her for a moment, then softly laughed. 'Well, I can't say no to that,' he said as he let go of her to undo his pants.
Gaura watched as the farmer pulled out his almost fully erect cock. He wrapped an arm around her once again, while he began stroking himself lazily with his free hand.
'Look this way' he said, prompting to her to try and meet his gaze. She felt a light kiss on her forehead, and Edér's hand reaching down to grab her breast. Her eyes fluttered shut, enjoying the feeling of his staggered breath adding to the sweet rhythms battering at her senses, turning her nerves red-hot and molten running through her, rendering her unaware of anything that wasn't Aloth pushing her closer to her climax and Edér doing a poor job at keeping her grounded. She lost all sense of time, and the space around her began and ended with the precious cage formed by the bodies of her lovers around her. And just then, as if the wizard could guess exactly how close she was to ecstasy, he decided to slide a pair of his fingers past her folds.
Gaura cried out as waves of pleasure washed over her, driven by Aloth's fingers and tongue. She heard a hum coming from between her legs, that sounded almost relieved. She couldn't help but chuckle.
'I adore you, Aloth,' she said, once she regained enough of her composure to speak. She pried Edér's hand off her breast and left a peck on his palm, before she leaned forward and took the wizard's face in her hands and pulled him on her lips. Whatever he wanted to answer was cut short and muffled, and the noises he made against the Watcher's mouth only ended up making Edér laugh.
Gaura rolled over and pinned Aloth on the bed. She lied down on him, allowing the gentle flames adorning her body to caress him. She felt a tremor run through him and he quietly moaned against her lips. The Watcher pulled away with a chuckle and took his jaw in her hand. She turned Aloth's head to the side and ran her tongue from the base of his ear, along his jaw, down to his throat.
'Gaura,' he sighed her name, slightly arching himself towards her, 'I... I adore you too.'
The Watcher in turn began grinding against him, coating his cock with the slick of her arousal. She ran her fingers down along his sides, her nails leaving faint, pink marks on his skin. She sat upright, straddling him so she could take off her shirt. Aloth grabbed her by her hips as if even that fleeting moment of her touching him less, but touching him nonetheless, made him miss her terribly. She leaned down over him again, softly humming a healing chant as she soothed his skin with her kisses. The Watcher glimpsed movement in the corner of her eye.
'You think you could do that... spell of yours again?' Edér lounged beside Aloth. He stripped naked while Gaura wasn't looking. When her gaze met his, he gave her a quick wink.
Aloth groaned, this time out of frustration. 'You really ought to learn it yourself,' he looked to Gaura. 'Can you give me a moment?' He asked apologetically.
The Watcher climbed off the wizard's lap. 'Sure. Better you reinforce your protections before you get singed.'
'And I bet you'd have a harder time once she really got going,' Edér added.
Aloth frowned at him, his ears slowly lowering as he held the farmer's gaze. He shook his head. 'That doesn't make your timing any less atrocious.'
Edér merely shrugged. 'I'll make it up to you,' he said as he extended a hand towards him.
'You better,' Aloth took his hand and held it against his chest while he cast protective spells on the both of them. Edér blew a light kiss on his hair as thanks then got off the bed and made his way to Gaura.
'Hey,' he grinned at her as he leaned forward and wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled her closer to the edge of the bed, drawing a surprised laugh out of the Watcher that he stifled with a kiss. Gaura smiled against his lips then kissed back so ravenously that she could taste her own hunger on his tongue. Then she pulled away and Edér stared at her lips with lust so intense that it felt nearly scorching.
She laughed as she moved to Aloth who looked at her with need and affection in his eyes. 'Do you think you could slide a bit further up?' She asked as she measured the distance between the wizard's hip and the edge of the bed, idly tracing patterns on his belly with a finger. 'So that... if I ride you, I can just lean forward,' she looked towards Edér, 'and I'll be at the perfect spot to suck him,' she gestured at the farmer with her chin.
'Greedy much?' Edér teased, but bit his lip nonetheless.
'That is not the word I would have used.' Aloth sat up and kissed Gaura on the cheek, prompting her to look to him and claim his lips. He moved slightly away from the edge of the bed and laid down again, pulling the Watcher down with him.
'I hope you don't mind that I won't be facing you,' she said and lightly cupped the wizard's face.
Aloth softly laughed. 'It's quite alright,' he pried her hand off his face and kissed her palm. Hearing that, Gaura went on to straddle him with her back towards him. 'Oh, it is... far more than alright,' he added as he savored the anticipation. The Watcher lifted herself up slightly and she guided his cock to her slit. She descended on him slowly, drawing a long, quiet moan out of him.
The Watcher smiled to herself then locked gaze with Edér. She watched him intently as she began rocking her hips, her movements making her flames dance and the friction between her and Aloth painting her building pleasure on her face. She leaned slightly forward, not quite far enough to reach the edge of the bed, and beckoned at the farmer with a finger. He chuckled and met her, leaning down as well. He left a shallow kiss on her lips, then a few more on her shoulder, tickling her with his beard that got her softly giggling against his ear. Then a moment later he straightened up and began stroking himself once again at the same pace as Gaura was moving on top of Aloth.
'Ready?' He asked.
Gaura leaned closer and propped herself up, holding on to the edge of the bed. She bit her lip looking at Edér's cock. She looked up at him with an impish smile, and let a soft moan slip drawn forward by Aloth under her.
'In a bit,' she kissed Edér's thigh, then his belly, then anywhere close enough for her hair to lick at his sex.
'Gods, you're trying to get me to hate you with all this teasing?'
Gaura laughed at that. 'I'm just messing with you,' she stopped long enough to draw a zig-zagging trail with her tongue from the base of Edér's shaft to the head. He responded with a groan, meanwhile Aloth behind her let out a sigh that sounded almost like a complaint. She felt one hand reach up to the small of her back, while the other rested on her hip, ready to set a tempo for her, if she wasn't willing to set one herself. It filled her with a strange sense of smug satisfaction. 'I like it when you get impatient, too.' She said before she took Edér's cock in her mouth.
Getting closer to one meant being further from the other, and yet neither of the Watcher's lovers were truly far, only there was no such thing as close enough, there was only the shattering of Gaura's senses when she would only feel them. Until then, there was only movement, and the heat of pleasure spreading in her. Even time felt like it only moved when she did, according to her tempo and her rhythm. Soon, she heard nothing but the grunts of the men around her, her own moans stifled but loud, almost as loud as her heartbeat in her ears. And then Aloth grew quieter, and Gaura could easily guess that he was covering his own mouth.
'Don't be like that, Aloth,' Edér's voice was hoarse with lust. 'You really oughtta let her know... how she's making you feel.' He looked down at Gaura and gently touched her face and yet she moaned as an involuntary response. The farmer didn't comment on her sensitivity, only his lips curled to a knowing smirk.
'I... I don't think I could describe it,' once again, Gaura felt the wizard gripping her, but now Aloth lightly pulled at her - a gentle, unspoken request that she answered with slamming herself down on him. Aloth groaned loudly and for a moment he was tempted to stifle his noises, but after a moment of hesitation, he only held on to the Watcher tighter. 'I doubt I could...' he continued, 'even if I... could focus on... words. Right now.'
'You ain't gotta wax poetic about it,' Edér chuckled. 'Just tell her that-' he couldn't finish his sentence, as Gaura took a deep breath and pushed herself forward, trying to get as much of him in her mouth as possible. The farmer gasped and grabbed her largest horn, unable to resist bucking his hips. 'Fuck,' he groaned as the Watcher slowly pulled back, 'just like that, Honeycake. Nice and slow.'
Aloth softly laughed. 'Was that... supposed to be an example?'
'Uhh... sure,' Edér loosened his grip on the Watcher. 'Think you could do that again, Gaura? Promise, I... I won't move.'
The Watcher glanced up at him. A satisfied hum got stuck in her mouth. She focused on her breathing as she worked her way down on the farmer with slow bobs of her head. Edér cursed under breath, and placed a hand to the back of Gaura's head, his pleasure and affection clearly written in his touch. Aloth, however squirmed slightly at the sudden, slow pace. Instinctively, he tightened his grip on her and thrusted. Gaura's eyes widened at the sensation. It was such a light thrust but it hit a spot that she could've sworn she felt everywhere. Even muffled, her moan was loud and her arms propping her up grew weak. Edér pulled out, seeing her tense up, then knelt on the edge of the bed, steadying her upright.
'I got you,' he said breathlessly against her ear. Meanwhile Aloth kept moving at the tempo that he craved and missed, repeatedly hitting the point that made the Watcher see stars. Edér kissed her deeply, savoring his own taste on her tongue while he guided Gaura's hand to his cock, that was still slick with her saliva. She did her best to stroke him at Aloth's rhythm and when she felt the farmer pick up on it, and started to thrust into her hand, it was as if a weight fell from her shoulders. The same shoulders that the wizard sat up to kiss. Aloth wrapped his arms around her chest and buried his face in the curve of her neck as he sped up.
'I... I love you,' he whispered.
Gaura tried to pull away from Edér long enough to respond. But the wizard picked up the pace further as he was getting closer to his climax, and it was the exact thing she needed to reach hers. She cried into the farmer's mouth and he answered with a soft, approving hum. Before Gaura could ride out her ecstasy, she felt Aloth's hips stutter and her ears were filled with the wizard's moan. His embrace soon loosened on the Watcher and Edér pulled away as well.
'I love you too,' the Watcher uttered, turning towards Aloth. She received a gentle kiss on her neck as an answer. Then another on her cheek from Edér. Gaura laughed softly. 'And I love you, too,' she said as she looked to the farmer.
A wide grin brightened Edér's face. 'I love you, Honeycake,' he held on to her waist and tried to pull her close. 'You think you could let her go, Aloth?'
'One moment,' the wizard sighed as he held Gaura close. Once he regained some of his composure, he let her go and Edér helped her off his lap, then laid her down next to him.
'I could've done that by myself,' the Watcher shook her head.
'Just wanna make sure you're cared for,' Edér stole a kiss from her lips. Then another. Then Gaura remembered.
'You didn't finish.' There was an apology hiding behind her words.
'Yeah, well... If you're feeling up to it, then-'
'I am.'
Edér stared at her for a moment, then burst out laughing at her eagerness. 'Alright then. Let me just check on Aloth first.'
Gaura followed him with her gaze, and turned to face Aloth. The wizard's breathing was slowly calming down, his gaze was fixed on her, bliss was softening his features. He was lost in thought and only Edér sitting down by his other side snapped him out of it.
'You looked pretty handsome down there just now.' The farmer lightly touched his shoulder and caressed him with his thumb.
Aloth scoffed as he turned towards the veteran. The sound, that usually rang with a hint of bitterness, rang with fondness and joy instead. 'You just want me to cast protection spells on you again, don't you?'
'Well... Yeah, but... That doesn't make it any less true.'
Aloth merely blinked at Edér. He softly chuckled in astonishment then as his laughter died down, he sighed. 'I'm sorry, I feel a bit... spent.'
'I get that, don't worry about it,' to make his point clearer, Edér left a shallow kiss on the wizard's lips before he got up, and made his way to the Watcher's desk on the other side of the room. Meanwhile Aloth snuggled up to Gaura. She wrapped a leg around his hip and rested a hand above his heart. He in turn tried to tuck a flame behind her ear. Gaura heard the fading magic around his fingers just for a moment, before those same fingers ran down her neck, then her arm until his hand eventually rested on her hip. Edér returned with two vials - one he gave to Aloth, and he drank the contents of the other. Aloth awkwardly propped himself up long enough to drink. Then as he plopped back down on the bed, Gaura could have sworn he actually managed to get even closer to her.
The farmer spent a moment watching them get comfortable before he reached for the Watcher's thigh.
'You look real nice and inviting,' he said as he ran his hand to her knee then reached below it to lift her leg. 'Mind holding it for me?'
Gaura bit her lip and obliged, anticipation already getting her heart rushing. Edér entered her excruciatingly slowly, lowering her leg back down, then leaned over her for a kiss. For a few moments the only thing that moved was his tongue in her mouth, and the Watcher was certain every second could reach into infinity if she left it up to the farmer. She tried moving her hips as much as she could, lying on her side, which only got Edér laughing and pulling away.
'Is this revenge for my teasing?' She asked.
'Maybe,' Edér smirked at her. 'Why? You don't like it?'
Gaura pondered her answer and in that short moment she felt Edér's cock throbbing in her, sending pleasant shivers down her spine, that we're only soothed by Aloth's touch.
'I do, in fact,' the smugness in her voice was drowned out by her lust on the last note.
Edér's smirk died down hearing that, only to reveal his craving for her instead. 'Joke's on me, I suppose,' he said and thrusted in her slowly, allowing each other to feel every last inch of one another. 'You feel so much tighter like this.'
He picked up the pace slightly and Gaura felt arousal starting to pool in her belly once again. The hand she placed on Aloth's chest started to feel like an anchor. He, however, had a different idea.
'Kiss me,' he whispered to her and the Watcher obliged. But once her lips met his, she had a hard time containing her need for him. For both of them. She kissed him hard if shallow, and kept nipping at his lower lip if he wanted to pull away, drawing groans out of him that mingled with Edér's.
'C- Come closer,' she pleaded, 'let me... let me kiss your neck.'
Aloth angled himself to grant her wish, and Gaura latched on to him as if the curve of his neck could dispel the sounds coming out of her. Her hand moved to his back, trying to keep him as close as possible without obstructing Edér, and to her surprise, the wizard responded by letting go of her hip and reaching for her clit instead. It only took him a few rubs, to get her to clench around the farmer, and to have her moans break her kisses. She let her forehead rest against his shoulder while Edér kept thrusting her harder and harder.
'Look at me,' the farmer grunted, and leaned down over Gaura. She twisted herself so he could claim her lips, pulling her arm away from Aloth. Their contact encouraged him to let his voice be heard, comforted by the knowledge that his moans would be muffled and even if they weren't, he couldn't possibly get louder than his lover under him. Meanwhile the Watcher tried to blindly reach for Aloth's face, only for her fingers to find his lips and for the wizard to take one of them in his mouth. Gaura squirmed, losing more and more of herself in the sensations the two of them invoked, sensations that felt hot even for her and sweet beyond what she could put into words. This only spurred Edér on and that slight change in pace, that little extra friction was enough to push her over the edge. Her cry broke her kiss and the farmer instead rested his forehead against hers, as he kept moving, unable to stop himself this close to his climax. It wasn't long, however, before he pulled out and let his seed spill on the Watcher's hip. He stayed leaning over her for a while longer while he calmed himself. Then he straightened up, took a shaky step and dropped on to the bed next to her. Laughter bubbled up from him as he turned to his side and moved on to cuddle Gaura.
'Was this a sufficient enough distraction?' Aloth asked the Watcher, but smiling at both of them.
Gaura thought back to the fear gripping her heart not so long before. Or at least, she thought it wasn't all that long. She lost all sense of time in the hands of her lovers. Their love making felt both fast and as if they all took their sweet time with one another. As if every moment stretched on limitless and yet they were as precious as the most fleeting of beauties.
'It was more than that.'
'More than sufficient or more than a distraction?' The question came from behind her.
She let her eyes flutter shut, the thought that she should probably get cleaned up slowly being suppressed by her exhaustion.
'It was... more.'

😶 who is better at oral, Aloth or Eder? (bonus point for asking something that would make Aloth sputter and blush?)
Aloth. Wait, no... *thinks a bit* On a second thought... Yeah, Aloth.

So I see that tumblaaargh is bringing the raunchy stuff back, which I'm glad about but for now, I'll continue using my "nsf vörk" tag until I can safely tell that the community label is accessible to all, it's a feature that actually works as intended, and you are using it as you see fit
#hablaty#...i may or may not be actually writing content where it's applicable as we speak but that's beside the point#except not really bc i'm not gonna take risks with using tags with it that might or might not work rn#i'm gonna wait for like a few weeks or so

are you publicly posting nsfw content with minors following you? lol
I guess??? Idek if I have minors following me, after a quick check I can tell you that the handful followers that I have are either 18+ years old or they do not have their age disclosed (which is good idea don't get me wrong but yeah).
But yeah I do post nsfw content every once in a blue moon like once or twice a year, and I definitely feel like I filled my quota for this year with a tag clearly indicating that the content is nsfw (although it's not that exactly but it's pretty easy to guess what "nsf vörk" means) a cut that hides the content itself, and a description before the cut telling them that they will find nsfw content below the cut. I'm trying my best to make sure I do not cross any boundaries so... idk I'm sorry if I failed to do so.
So yeah if you're a minor following me then you can blacklist the nsf vörk tag, you can unfollow or even block me. In fact, I would encourage that, your safety and comfort takes priority. And again I apologize if I crossed any boundaries, it was clearly not something I wanted to do.
#replies and whatnot#anonymous#like i guess i could've put it in my bio that i do post smut every now and then#but like i said it doesn't happen all that often so i didn't think it was warranted#i guess that's on me

Only for Tonight
AU where everything is the same but Adaryc comes to participate in the Battle of Yenwood field and the night before the battle takes a rather steamy turn between him and the Watcher
...in other words this is just pure, self-indulgent smut, don't @ me
Below the cut, bc a) contains explicit descriptions of sexy times and b) it's about 3.6k word long
Gaura made her way through the army camp not far from Yenwood Field. She has never experienced a proper night before a battle, she has come to realize. Before the Battle of Cayron's Scar, there was no excitement mixed with anxiety. There was no premature boasting about the foes that were about to be slain, mingling with last minute training sessions. That fight was almost certainly a suicide mission. A simple land dispute felt almost like a sure victory. The Watcher walked allowing her senses to bask in the cacophony of the army she gathered, letting it build her caution as well as her confidence. But the longer she walked, the less she could take it all in. It didn't take her long to let herself just... enjoy her stroll for what it was, without really looking where she was going.
Then suddenly, the camp grew a lot quieter. There was still plenty of movement but there was a restraint to it all. And then a softly muttered prayer hit the Watcher's ear, invoking a name in a hushed tone. Only then did Gaura look around with awareness and she finally noticed the banner of the Iron Flail lightly flapping in the evening breeze.
'Lady Gaura,' a familiar voice came from behind. The Watcher turned around only to see Adaryc standing merely a step away from her. His expression seemed soft even in the harsh contrast formed by the light of the campfires and the shadows of the starless night. 'Are you lost?'
'Ada-' she stopped herself and let out a small self-deprecating chuckle. 'Commander, I know exactly where I am. I just... didn't really watch where I was going. And technically I'm not a lady yet.' Gaura felt an urge to poke him in the shoulder as a playful emphasis on her last word. But she remembered: they are barely acquaintances, let alone friends. And yet... he felt familiar. A result of the two of them diving deep into each other's souls and memories when they first met, no doubt. She let her hand drop, right before she could touch him.
'Technically, I'm not acting as commander either, the Morning Council didn't sanction our... excursion,' he said as he looked at the army camping around him. 'We're just enjoying our time off, visiting a friend.' Adaryc reached for the Watcher's shoulder, aiming to place his hand on her reassuringly. Then, as if he just realized that they hardly had a relationship that would warrant a gesture like that, he stopped and let his hand form a fist by his side instead. Gaura couldn't tell for sure, but in the dim, orange tinted light, he looked like he was blushing. She felt her own hair flutter at the realization.
'I can't say I ever had a visit quite like this,' she smoothed down a particularly disobedient flame, avoiding the gaze of her fellow Watcher, 'or a friend like you.'
'That's... kind of you to say,' Adaryc cleared his throat. 'The feeling is mutual.'
Gaura merely smiled as a response and Adaryc answered with a faint but slightly crooked smile of his own. As they stood silently, surrounded by a somber army, with only a step of a distance from one another, the Watcher couldn't help but think of a moment when her soul connected with the Commander's.
There they were, with their surroundings faded away and their memories obscured by the emptiness of the In-Between. Only they were visible, tangible, only their existence was rooted firmly in all planes of reality. Anchors. Beacons. For themselves and each other. They looked at one another, they saw one another, they knew one another - and through each other, they knew themselves better than ever before. Then the moment passed and their link became suffocatingly close, their awareness merged and Gaura was overcome with fear. Or maybe it was Adaryc. They couldn't tell the difference between each other. The memory prompted the Watcher to take a step back and she noticed that Adaryc did the same.
'I should probably go back to my tent,' Gaura said somewhat awkwardly.
'Fair enough, I won't keep you,' Adaryc gave her a short and courteous bow.
The Watcher, caught off guard by the gesture, let out a surprised laugh that was louder and higher pitched than she would have liked. She didn't notice that her laugh was contagious.
'On second thought,' Adaryc added just as she turned to leave, 'if I may be so bold, allow me to escort you back,' he hesitantly approached her and offered his arm.
'You may be as bold as you'd like,' Gaura hooked her arm in his, flashing a playful and somewhat impish smile at him. She felt him tense up under her touch, but his face didn't betray the same tension, he merely seemed lost in thought.
'As generous as that offer sounds, I don't think either of us could afford that,' he said eventually. 'By this time tomorrow, you will have become a noblewoman of the Dyrwood. That doesn't mean you will be immediately accepted, however, and you will have to watch your step. I don't want our... friendship to cost you on the long run.'
'Trust me, if I'm not accepted that won't be because of you. I'm fairly certain I made more enemies than friends among nobles,' Gaura shrugged. 'But I got you as a friend. I... I don't think you realize how much it means to me that you're here. Or how much it meant that you came back to help at Cayron's Scar. So let me just appreciate you a little. I can handle the consequences when they catch up to me,' she beamed at him.
'I don't doubt that. I have yet to see the limits of what you can do. But there is no need for this,' Adaryc sighed. 'Our encounter in the White March was... enlightening. I've been striving to express what that encounter meant to me or the extent of my gratitude but,' he let out a rueful chuckle, 'I don't think I fully grasp those myself.'
Gaura tightened her grip on his arm. 'I think I get that.'
'Then I hope you understand that I only wish for you what I think you deserve.'
'And that is?'
Adaryc smiled faintly and wistfully. 'Just the usual: happy days, peaceful nights, and that the Shining God lights a way for you that is as righteous and gentle as you,' his smile faded from his face as he spoke. The Watcher got the sense he wasn't telling everything and she felt a hint of shame in his silence.
'Righteous and gentle? What happened to soft-hearted?' Gaura teased, trying to lift his spirit.
'That... was a poor choice of words,' Adaryc's face turned red. 'I did just say I'm not good at expressing myself.'
The Watcher laughed at the Commander's poor attempts at excusing himself. Adaryc's lips curled to an admiring smile. He was almost convinced that if sunlight had a sound, this is what it would sound like.
For a while, the two of them continued to walk in silence, that was both light as they enjoyed each other's company and heavy as they wished for more. The air around them grew tense with the things they wanted for one another, from one another, and with the sorrow of knowing that as long as their nations see each other as they do - and by extension see them as they do - they can never have those wants fulfilled. Trying to fulfill them anyway would be cruel. Stealing moments, wasting them trying to feel a mere fraction of that closeness, acceptance and understanding that they felt when they first met, would be agonizing once they passed. What would be the point if a distant friendship can grant moments filled with joy as well?
And then the massive, gold and green command tent came into view. The Watcher let go of Adaryc's arm and made her way to the entrance, feeling the Commander's gaze on her back with each step. She looked back as she lifted the flap only to see Adaryc waiting for her to say her farewells so he could wish her a good night and bury his laments over what-ifs under the voices of the dead haunting his dreams. But as their gaze locked, a different question formed in Gaura.
'Are you gonna come in?'
The question caught both of them off guard. The Watcher's hand darted to her mouth and she pretended she was merely coughing into her fist. Meanwhile Adaryc's eyes widened and without thinking, he blurted out:
'I'd love to.'
Gaura blinked at him, stunned while he closed the distance between them. She entered the tent and stepped aside, allowing Adaryc to pass her. He immediately approached a large table in the middle, and surveyed its empty surface as if it was covered with battle plans. The Watcher made her way to him. The Commander leaned forward, tightly pressing his palms against the table. Gaura couldn't see his face but his tension was palpable.
'Adaryc,' she spoke softly as she placed a hand on his shoulder. When Adaryc didn't respond, she ran her hand down his arm slowly. She felt a small tremor running through him when her fingers brushed against the prayer bracelet on his wrist.
'This is a bad idea,' he said as he turned his palm up and allowed the Watcher to lace her fingers with his.
'Without a doubt. If you want to go...'
'I don't, even though I know I should,' Adaryc let go of her and turned to face her. 'I so wish I could do things right by you. You deserve better than a stolen night, Gaura. And yet...' he cautiously reached below the Watcher's chin and tilted it upwards. He ran his thumb along her lower lip, gently prying her lips slightly open. 'Shining God forgive me, but I can't help feeling selfish when it comes to you.'
The Commander leaned forward close enough for his lips to brush against the Watcher's. He savored the moment of their feather-light contact, not realizing he's been holding his breath. His hesitation prompted Gaura to cup his face in her hands and pull him onto her lips properly. Adaryc kissed back and the Watcher was surprised at how deep his kiss was even with the restraint she could almost taste on his tongue. She reached for his hips to pull him closer and as an instinctive response he slid his hand rest under her chin towards the back of her head.
'Careful,' she managed to grab his wrist before Adaryc could hurt himself. His gaze darted to his hand then to Gaura's hair, and he nodded to himself in acknowledgement. 'I'll get you something to protect you,' Gaura offered and was about to go for her pack, but the Commander stayed in place.
'I'll be fine,' he pried her hand off his wrist and left a small kiss on her palm. 'I'll just have to mind my hands,' he said as he gently pulled her back by the waist.
Adaryc rested his forehead against the Watcher's as he guided her back to the table. He lifted her onto it with ease, and ran his fingers along the length of her thighs, watching for her reaction intently and with adoration. Eventually he placed his hands on her knees and caressed her with his thumb, a silent plea written in his touch. Gaura obliged him by hooking a finger in his belt and pulling him between her legs. She claimed his lips again, wrapping her legs around his waist and blindly searching for the buckles of his breastplate on his shoulder. She felt his lips curl to a satisfied smile against hers.
'Someone's impatient,' Adaryc chuckled as he pulled away slightly and helped her remove the armor enveloping his chest. He turned his attention to her boots next. 'Besides you should worry about your own clothes,' he gave each of them a tug - not strong enough to pull them clean off, but enough for the Watcher to kick them off while he busied himself with undoing her shirt.
'What can I say?' Gaura lightly bit her lip as she watched him with an impish smile. 'I can't help being selfish with you either.'
Adaryc rolled his eyes at her but couldn't hide his smile nor the heat rising in his cheeks. The Watcher let out a short and sweet laugh as she leaned closer to him again.
'I am a despicable, despicable woman,' she teased as she pulled out her shirt from her pants and undid the last of the buttons, then grabbed her fellow Watcher's hand and pressed it against the glowing mark above her heart, showing him the steady but fast pounding in her chest and the softness of the flames bursting through her skin.
Adaryc's lips curled to a faint smile that turned into a challenging smirk as his eyes met Gaura's again - just as she expected.
'I suppose... We do deserve each other.' He pushed the shirt off the Watcher, his fingers cool against her skin that felt almost as red-hot as it looked under his hungry gaze. His lips skimmed along her collarbone. 'I could kiss you all over,' he sighed against her skin but he refused to act on his words, his restraint sending shivers down on both their bodies as he continued to mark a trail down on the Watcher's chest with his almost-kisses.
Gaura grabbed the edge of the table as she watched Adaryc work his way down her torso, teasing her, breathing her in - her smokey, strangely floral, vaguely metallic scent that reminded him so much of the incense filling the cathedral of Dawnsreach during sermons - doing his absolute best not to break eye contact with her. She was almost mesmerized by his warm, brown eyes darkening by the slightest dilation of his pupils, filling his gaze with desire and a familiar sense of feverish desperation. She glimpsed the reflection of her own flames in his eyes which he sent fluttering with each of his touches. The Watcher shifted her hips to help him take off her pants once he reached them, and she felt a kernel of anticipation form in her belly as he leaned back in to steal a shallow but forceful kiss from her lips while he dragged her underwear down to her knees. An excited grin spread on her face as she shuffled out of the small piece of cloth and as she watched her fellow Watcher get on his knees in front of the table. Adaryc pulled her closer to the edge of the table with a single, somewhat hard tug which he immediately apologized for with a gentle kiss on her inner thigh. The contrast drew a staggered but enthusiastic laugh out of her.
'I adore your laugh,' Adaryc smiled up at the Watcher as he placed her legs on his shoulders. She responded with an involuntary chuckle as his hair tickled the soft skin on her thighs, prompting the Commander to continue. 'If I may ask... don't silence yourself. No one will hear you, trust me.'
'I'm willing to forget everything and every-' Gaura's answer turned into a gasp when Adaryc left a small kiss on her clit, 'everyone... If you are.'
The Commander replied by slowly dragging his tongue along the Watcher's folds, listening to the quiet little moan he drew forth from her and tightening the grip on her thighs in turn.
'I have a hard time thinking of anything or anyone else,' Adaryc pulled away just for a moment to speak, but it was enough to prompt Gaura to reach for his hair, an unvoiced complaint contorting her face. He beamed up at her before he latched onto her again.
'Oh... good.'
Gaura could've sworn she felt Adaryc's touch being seared into her being. He pressed his lips against her folds tight while his tongue swiped between them slowly at first, tempting the Watcher to lay back and enjoy his care, but at the same time she couldn't bring herself to look away from him, not when kept stealing glances filled with adoration and that conviction that Gaura liked about him so much. She tightened her grip on the Commander's hair and he groaned as a response. Her flesh muffled his voice and she could almost feel it resonating in her. The anticipation in her started to grow and the Watcher felt like it was setting her nerves ablaze with craving for more.
'Adaryc, please,' she whined and that seemed to have been all that his fellow Watcher needed to hear.
Adaryc's lips closed around her clit and he lapped at it at a relentless pace, drawing a loud moan out of her that turned into sweet, grateful laughter when she realized how eager he was to please her. Gaura involuntarily rolled her hips against him, whispering praises to him, trying and failing to describe all the sensations he evoked in her as those sensations flooded her mind and rendered her witless but blissful. Soon, she could barely feel the table below her. Only Adaryc felt real - a gentle anchor when everything else fell away into ecstasy.
The Watcher's mind still felt hazy from pleasure even after Adaryc guided her through her climax then rose to claim her lips again. She smiled as she tasted herself on his tongue.
'If this is you being selfish,' she said once she pulled away, 'I don't know if I could handle your generosity.'
Adaryc chuckled. 'And here I thought there was nothing that you couldn't handle,' his voice was hoarse with lust and yet he merely kept holding the Watcher by her hips, idly caressing her with his thumb while she undid his shirt. He reached below her chin and tilted it up so her gaze can meet his. 'I like the way you're looking at me.' Her hands were gripping his belt, but he pried them off and guided them to his shoulders. 'I like the way you hold me,' he said as he leaned back in for a kiss. One of Gaura's hand found its way to his hair again while the other explored his chest intently, as if she could read his life from the details her fingers uncovered. Meanwhile the Commander unbuckled his belt and pushed his pants down a bit clumsily, but refusing to break the kiss he shared with the Watcher.
Gaura felt Adaryc's lips tremble ever so slightly when he entered her. He granted himself a moment to let out a soft and quiet moan, standing motionlessly while the Watcher left pecks after pecks on his face and wrapped her legs around his waist. He started moving then, slowly at first, and the gentle friction between them drew a sweet, satisfied hum from the Watcher.
'Adaryc...' Gaura's voice rang with affection but before she could say anything else, he kissed her again and picked up the pace of his thrusts. Her lips curled to a smile as she allowed her hands to wander along his back, under the fabric of his shirt, and let her nails bite lightly into his skin. Adaryc groaned against her lips and leaned over her, pushing her down onto the command table. His grip on her hips pinned her to the spot and he slammed into her hard, pushing the air out of her lungs in the form of a moan.
'Yeah, just like that,' she beamed at him which was just the encouragement Adaryc needed. Gaura threw her head back as best as she could when she felt her body grow numb to anything but the sensations he evoked in her. She lost all sense of time beyond the rhythm of his thrusts that she felt even in her toes and sounds escaping the Commander's lips. It wasn't long before, she let out a cry and her embrace tightened around Adaryc's body and that lovely little squeeze was just what Adaryc needed to be pushed to his climax too.
For a while they stayed as they were, sprawled out on the table. Adaryc left a kiss on the Watcher's cheek before he rose and pulled out, then he offered a hand to help her up as well. Gaura sat up with his help, and her fellow Watcher left another kiss on her knuckles before he sat beside her. He didn't let go of her hand. Soon his bliss faded from his face and only a strangely rueful look took its place.
'Is something wrong?' Gaura asked as she reached for his face and turned him to look at her.
'No,' Adaryc sank into her touch. 'I just... I just remembered this was a one-time occurence.'
'And here I was planning all the ways I was going to ravish you tomorrow after the battle,' the Watcher joked, trying to ignore her heart sinking in her chest. She knew, this was how their night would end, and yet... A selfish little fragment of her being secretly hoped that they and the world would change while they weren't looking.
'I'm not sure we'll be sticking around for that long. We'll probably rest up and leave as soon as we can. And then... I don't know how or when could I come see you again. I can't with a clean conscience ask you to wait for me.'
Gaura hesitantly nodded. 'I can't ask for all that effort either. Not when I can't visit you in turn.'
They both let out a heavy sigh.
'You better stay and cuddle,' the Watcher eventually broke the silence.
Adaryc laughed and his smile lingered as he rested his forehead against Gaura's. 'I wouldn't be anywhere else tonight.'

Okay so literal months ago I wrote some Aloth x Watcher first steamy night together stuff, then I completely forgot about it, then I came across it a few days ago so I guess y’all can look at it, if you want.
Happy Valentine’s Day, I guess
Below the cut, bc a) explicit content b) almost 3k words, sooo yeah
Gaura woke up to the bed shifting slightly under her. She glimpsed movement as she rubbed her eyes and once she made out the silhouette of the man leaving her side, her drowsiness dissipated in an instant.
'Where are you going?' The Watcher asked as she sat up.
Aloth turned around to her voice, and a faint, adoring smile appeared on his face. He loosely held on to a worn book. The last thing Gaura remembered before falling asleep was the wizard reading aloud from that book at her request. It was... about corrosives... she thought. It didn't take her long to drift off.
'You fell asleep,' Aloth said. 'I thought that was my cue to leave.'
'It's not. Unless you want it to be,' Gaura moved to the edge of the bed and reached for the wizard's free hand.
It has only been a few days since she gave him the kiss that changed their friendship into the bond they shared at that moment. The Watcher didn't have much in mind when she kissed Aloth that day, she merely wanted to show him how she felt and asked for the chance to show it again and again and again. But she had a lot of feelings for the wizard and she felt them strongly and deeply, and in the few days of their courtship, Gaura often found herself wondering if she felt too much, too deeply, too strongly for Aloth to feel comfortable around her. So she let him set the pace of their relationship, even if she was fully aware of his occasionally excessive caution and his indecisiveness.
Aloth sat down beside Gaura. He put his book aside so he could hold her hand with both hands.
'I would like to stay, it's true, but...'
'Then stay.'
The wizard hesitated for a moment, then let out a shaky laugh.
'I got the impression you needed rest.'
The Watcher moved closer to him and placed her chin on his shoulder. She let her eyes close as she enjoyed the smell of the ocean breeze clinging onto Aloth's hair. 'I was soothed, not tired,' she said. 'And I definitely wasn't bored.'
'I did not think you were.'
'Just making sure, you don't get the wrong idea,' Gaura pulled away and left a peck on Aloth's cheek. She then placed the book by the window beside the bed, laid back on her place and patted the space next to her.
The wizard was just about to take her offer when he looked down at himself and noted his armor. Then he looked at the Watcher and noted her loosely fitting nightgown.
'I'll be ready in a minute,' he said and started to undo the buckles on his leather suit.
Gaura knelt on the edge of the bed once more. 'Let me help,' she offered as she reached for the laces on his chest. Aloth gave her a nod, but otherwise he said nothing. But the Watcher could still see him biting his lip and his cheeks turning red from the corner of her eyes. After a few moments, all that was left to do was merely pushing the armor off the elf. Gaura slid her hands under the garment, prompting Aloth to let his arms hang by his sides. It seemed like a relaxed gesture but to her it felt anything but that. For a moment she felt his heart pounding in his chest, its speedy rhythm enticing her.
'Gaura?' The wizard's voice was breathy as he leaned closer to her. Close enough for his breath to mingle with hers. 'Was this your intention all along?' He asked as a faint, slightly sly smile formed on his lips which disappeared in a fraction of a moment.
'No,' she replied while she reached for his undershirt and fiddled with it, ready to pull it off him as soon as he asked, as soon as he showed any sign that he wanted her the same way she wanted him. 'But I'm open to it. I'm... more than open to it.'
'You... you don't think this is too soon?' Aloth's question sounded almost like a plea.
'No. And even if it was... I find it really hard to care about timing right now,' Gaura laughed and it proved to be contagious. She pressed her lips against the wizard's, and pulled his shirt upwards. Aloth helped her take it off him, quickly uttering protective spells before he reached for the back of the Watcher's head and closed the gap between them again. His touch was gentle, feather-light, but his kiss hinted at impatience and a desire that could have been just as scorching as the fire in Gaura's soul if he allowed himself to truly feel it.
The Watcher pulled away. 'My turn,' she said, as she reached for the straps of her gown. She untied them with a few simple tugs and let the gown fall on its own to her knees. Aloth's tender gaze wandered along her body, tracing the cracks on her skin. But eventually, it returned to the glowing center of her chest. There was something in his eyes that Gaura couldn't quite place, not even as the wizard turned his attention back to her face and looked straight into her eyes.
'May I?' He asked, his hand hovering right above the bright mark.
Gaura replied with a somewhat impatient nod. Aloth pressed his palm against her chest upon her permission. He seemed almost mesmerized by the combined sensation of her strong heartbeat and her flames gently licking his skin.
'You act as if you couldn't just conjure flames at will,' the Watcher teased as she leaned in to leave a sloppy kiss below Aloth's jaw. She made her way down on the side of his throat while she reached for his trousers. She quickly undid it and slid her hand under it. She kept her mouth pressed to the curve of the wizard's neck as she caressed his already half-hardened bulge.
'No magical fire feels like you,' Aloth answered, his voice ringing with admiration.
Gaura pulled away hesitantly and surprised. She stared at the wizard as he averted his gaze shyly, his already flushed face taking a deeper shade of red.
'Turn around,' she said breathlessly, with the corner of her lips perking up. 'Take off the rest of your clothes.'
Aloth swallowed hard. 'What's on your mind, if I may ask?' He spoke cautiously. However his movements did not reflect what his voice did. He turned around as Gaura asked, and as he dragged his pants down, he almost seemed eager for an answer. An answer that was not meant to be expressed in words.
The Watcher chuckled softly as she shuffled out of her nightgown and moved closer to the wizard, as close as she possibly could without falling off her bed. She wrapped her arms around him from behind. She pressed her chest against his back tight and she rested her chin on his shoulder, right by his ear. Aloth let out a short, quiet gasp at the contact. His body stiffened slightly, prompting Gaura to leave a gentle kiss on the curve of his neck, then another one on his earlobe.
'I just want you to relax,' she said while she inhaled the scent of his hair and she allowed her hands to explore his chest, enjoying the feeling of goosebumps forming under her touch. 'I want to soothe you the way you have soothed me just now.'
'I hope you don't take it as an offense, but-' the wizard's words turned into a shaky sigh as the Watcher's fingers reached one of his nipples and drew circular patterns around it slowly and gently. 'Soothed is... truly, the last word I'd use to describe how I feel right now.'
'Do you want me to stop then?' Gaura asked, her lips brushing against Aloth's ear.
'No!' He replied without hesitation. The Watcher couldn't help but chuckle at his haste, which prompted him to clear his throat, and make a poor attempt at regaining his composure. 'No, I...'
His trail of thought was diverted by one of Gaura's hands sliding downwards. However just before she would've reached his loins, she pulled her hand back. Aloth held his breath while she wet her palm, then a moment passed, and another, and the Watcher merely stood motionless behind him, with only her flames caressing and enveloping him with all the tenderness of her soul.
'Please, continue.'
Gaura hummed approvingly as she pressed her lips against Aloth's neck. She reached forward again, gently caressing the wizard's thigh as she did so. She wrapped one hand around his cock and began stroking it at the same pace as her mouth moved against the side of his throat, while the other kept massaging his chest, with her thumb occasionally brushing against his nipple. A few moments later she felt his touch on the back of her head, his slender fingers brushed against her scalp gingerly, prompting the Watcher to look up at him. Aloth turned his head slightly towards her but he couldn't tear his gaze from her hand pumping his shaft slowly and steadily.
'Is this tempo alright?' Gaura asked. 'I want everything to happen to your liking. We'll take it as slow or as fast as you want.' She leaned in, and left a small kiss on Aloth's parted lips, drawing a staggered sigh out of him.
'I... I wouldn't mind if you were a... a little fas-... Oh,' Aloth's request turned into a short, surprised, quiet moan as the Watcher obliged him before he got to finish the sentence.
The wizard's breath quickened as well, and Gaura could almost hear a few notes of his pleasure mingling faintly with the air he exhaled. Aloth pressed his lips against hers as tightly as he could at their angle, trying to muffle the sounds escaping him, which enticed the Watcher all the more. She had to restrain herself from rubbing him even faster, the same way Aloth had to force himself to keep kissing her. Gaura couldn't tell how long they went on until he broke the kiss and covered his mouth with his free hand instead. The wizard rested his forehead against the Watcher's as he moaned into his palm. She could've sworn she felt his eyelashes flutter against her skin, drawing a soft chuckle out of her.
'You are so lovely,' she spoke softly. 'You want us both to keep quiet?'
Aloth gave her a few somewhat staggered nods.
'Alright, Aloth,' Gaura replied. 'Lean back against me.'
The wizard hesitated for a moment, then he cautiously lifted his head and looked at Gaura. She made her best attempt at giving him a reassuring nod, but she couldn't help but bite her lip when she looked into his eyes full of adoration for her, twinkling with a hunger for release. He then let his eyes close and threw his head back against her shoulder. His neck formed a curve that the Watcher couldn't resist. She trailed it with her tongue, prompting the wizard the press down on her scalp slightly, wordlessly asking her to kiss him harder. Gaura picked up the pace of her strokes, making Aloth squirm under her touch, making him fill her ear with more and more of his muffled moans. The Watcher closed her eyes, and allowed herself to be lost in the anticipation for Aloth coming undone at her hand.
'Gaura?' She heard her name. 'Wait... wait. Stop!' The wizard grabbed her wrist and straightened up. He gently peeled her hands off him and stepped away with an apologetic expression on his face.
'Is something wrong?' The Watcher asked. 'Did I...?' A small kernel of anxiety formed in her: she wondered if she ended up crossing an unknown line. If she did indeed felt too much, too strongly and too deeply.
Aloth raised his hands as he sat down beside her. 'No, you did nothing wrong,' he hastily said. 'And by that I mean... that felt truly incredible,' he took her hands in his with a smile. 'It's just... the magic that protected me from your hair was wearing off.' The wizard let out a frustrated sigh.
It took Gaura a moment to process his words. 'Oh.'
'Forgive me, I'll just need a moment...'
'No, no, don't apologize,' she lifted his hands to her lips. 'I can spare a few moments in exchange for more fun afterwards.'
Aloth let out a relieved chuckle as a response. 'Thank you,' he cast his spell, then he let go of her hands and cupped the Watcher's face instead. 'I... I liked the way you held me,' he left a soft kiss on her lips. Then another. And another, as he laid down and pulled Gaura with him. 'You said you wanted everything to happen the way I liked.'
'I meant that,' the Watcher said as she moved to straddle the wizard.
A moment was spent in silence. Aloth watched Gaura intently as one of hands moved slowly to the back of her head and allowed her flames to dance along his fingers.
'Just now, it felt like... like you were touching me everywhere.' The wizard said eventually. 'I'd like you to stay close. Please.'
Gaura smiled as a response and tightened the grip of her thighs around him. She slowly rolled her hips against him, letting her slick folds coat Aloth's cock with her arousal. He stifled a groan and moved his hands to the Watcher's waist.
'You're so sweet,' she chuckled as reached back and guided the wizard's hands to cup her ass instead. She locked lips with him as she continued grinding against him. Then after a few moments, she pulled away. 'Give me one moment,' she said as reached for his cock and guided it to her heat.
The Watcher descended upon him slowly, surprised at how intensely she felt Aloth entering her. All that time she spent pleasing him turned her more sensitive than she realized. She bit her lip as she began rolling her hips again, slowly, getting used to the feeling of him inside her. Gaura set a steady, relaxed rhythm for them, one that Aloth quickly picked up on. His thrusts were light, but deep, each of them sent sparks of pleasure along the Watcher's nerves. She quickened her pace slightly, indulging her impatience for him, but she couldn't bring herself to lean back to Aloth just yet. She reached for one of his hands, and guided it to her lips. She took his thumb in her mouth and suckled on it, allowing a few of her moans to escape her throat but be trapped by his finger. She kept her gaze locked with Aloth's as she guided his hand back down, this time to the nub between her thighs. She didn't need to say anything. Aloth rubbed her clit at an erratic rhythm, and the sweet dissonance of sensations nearly overwhelmed the Watcher right then and there.
'Gaura,' Aloth whispered her name invitingly and she responded by learning back down over him and pressed her lips tightly to his.
Their muffled sounds mingled as they hastened their movements. Soon, Gaura lost all sense of her surroundings. She only felt Aloth getting lost in her, the same way she forgot about everything but him. There was no such thing as too much, or too strong, or too deep. There were only her nerves set ablaze by the wizard's touch, consuming her senses and reason. And there was only Aloth, embraced by the flames of her soul. Soon, there wasn't even that, only a feeling of overwhelming ecstasy. The Watcher couldn't help but break their kiss as one last cry of pleasure burst out of her. Aloth continued moving under her, keeping her mind in a sweet, precious haze, but even then she felt him finding a release in her as well. He wrapped his arms around Gaura in a tight embrace, and buried his face in the curve of her neck, in attempt to use her as an anchor to the reality around them. Neither of them knew how much time they spent motionlessly entangled. Soon, their awareness returned to them, and Gaura rolled off her lover.
'Don't take this the wrong way...' Gaura said panting, once she felt she was able to speak again, 'but this... this was more fun than that book about corrosives.'
Aloth let out an exhausted laugh. 'I'm... I'm inclined to feel the same,' he said as he turned to the Watcher on his side. She left a peck on his cheek, then another on his lips. 'I assume,' Aloth continued, 'you don't think this was too soon, then.'
'Not at all. Do you?'
'No,' a relieved smile appeared on the wizard's face, as if his answer reassured him just as much, if not more, as it did the Watcher. 'I am glad you asked me to stay. And... I am truly happy you kissed me the other day.'
Gaura reached for Aloth's face and ran her thumb along his soft, adoring, if tired smile. She spent a moment admiring the beauty of that smile before she spoke again. 'I am happy you let me make you happy,' she chuckled. 'There is so much in my heart for you. I might just need all the time in the world to show it all.'
'At the current pace, you mean, or...?' Aloth's furrowed his eyebrows.
'At the pace you set for us.'
The wizard's expression softened. He let out a sigh as he relaxed. 'I would like that a lot,' he shyly moved closer to Gaura. They spent a few moments while Aloth settled between the Watcher's legs and rested his head on her chest. They fell asleep shortly after, locked in a comfortable embrace, with a hint of a smile lightly pulling at their lips.

Smut 19 - "I thought maybe we can do a little more than just kissing."
Talk about starting the new year with a bang, huh
Thank you for this 💖, and sorry it took me this long, I kept scrapping this thing and then it got surprisingly long (pun not intended) so yeah
anyway here’s some Edér x Watcher... stuff, it’s behind the cut bc a) it’s explicit, duh b) it’s about 2k words long so yeah
'Drink up,' Gaura offered Edér a bottle of Bulwark against the Elements potion as they lounged in her cabin on a lazy, uneventful afternoon. Aloth asked for some time in solitude, which meant that it was only the Watcher and the farmer on their own for the time being - but it also meant that there was no one to cast the spells Edér needed as a protection against Gaura's flames. A frustrating complication that made her too anxious to properly relax while she cuddled the veteran.
Edér took the potion with a disgusted grunt as he sat up on the bed. He opened the bottle with his teeth, spat the cork out in frustration, then downed the liquid in a single gulp.
'Really hate the taste of this thing,' he said as he put the bottle aside with a barely visible sneer. 'You know that, right?' His expression softened slightly, however, Gaura glimpsed a spark in his eyes that she has grown to know well, and she knew exactly how he would continue. 'Hope it ain't much to ask, but...' he leaned over the Watcher, a faint half-smile tugging at the corner of his lips, 'I could use something sweet now.'
'There are some candied nuts in my pack,' Gaura blinked at him with faked innocence.
Edér shook his head but didn't bother to hide his widening, contagious smile. He kissed her on the lips, softly but deeply, his tongue moved slowly in her mouth, with a laziness that filled the Watcher with a comforting sense of familiarity. For a moment she even could've sworn they've kissed every day since the very first time they've met all those years ago.
'Was that sweet enough?' Gaura asked when Edér eventually pulled away. She ran a finger along his lower lip, putting a wide, adoring grin on his face.
'For starters, yeah,' he leaned back down, but this time, he pressed his lips against the Watcher's neck, his sloppy kiss prompting her to reach for the back of his head and caress his surprisingly soft hair. He slid his hand slowly under her buttoned up shirt, ignoring the buttons giving away under the strain he put on them as he ran his hand down on her chest. He paid some special attention to her breast and to some of the cracks on her skin that he favored over others. He tried to hide his hunger for her under slow movements, burying it under an expression knowledge, and experience. He let her know that he knew her body almost as well as his own. Then his hand reached her pants.
Edér sat up and momentarily got distracted by the sight of the Watcher lying next to him with her shirt undone, with the trail of his touch revealing her to him but half of her chest still being tantalizingly covered by the thin fabric. 'Was kinda hoping...' he cleared his throat and looked directly into Gaura's eyes. 'Thought maybe we could... do a little more than just kissing.'
The Watcher straightened up as well, holding his gaze. 'Maybe we could,' she said as she took off her shirt and reached for Edér's as well. 'We should make the most of the time the potion gives us,' she added.
However there was no rush to her movements as she pulled Edér's shirt off over his head. Nor was there any to his as he pulled Gaura on his lap with one hand on her waist, while he kept the other on the back of her head, gently trapping her to kiss her again. And again. And again. Even through the layers of clothing separating them, Gaura felt his bulge pressing against her, and she rolled her hips to respond, instinctively, reflexively, knowingly. Edér's groan broke their kiss, and prompted a loving chuckle from the Watcher. She pushed at his chest, just about strongly enough to press the farmer down the bed and to free herself from his grasp. He smiled up at her while she undid his pants and with a few tugs, dragged them off him.
Gaura lightly pressed against Edér's thighs as she crawled over him. 'Mind spreading them for me? Just a teeny tiny bit wider?' The Watcher gently grazed his inner thigh with her nails as she leaned down to the farmer's neck. She left a wet, sloppy kiss there, then another and another. She left a trail of them along Edér's neck, then collarbone, then down his torso, occasionally interrupting it with a few soft nips at places where the mixture of soft skin and hard muscle was too enticing to resist.
However, when the Watcher was about to reach Edér's cock, he sat up. Edér reached for Gaura's chin and guided her back to his lips.
'I-' Before Edér could utter a single word, Gaura wrapped her hand around his shaft, firmly enough for him to feel it, but lightly enough to make him crave more. 'Feeling like I... I oughta have asked that,' Edér said breathlessly. He struggled to keep himself from throwing his head back and just enjoy the Watcher's touch, but that didn't stop him from undoing her pants with swift and skilful movements.
'Are you that eager to please?' Gaura bit her lip, suppressing a soft moan trying to escape her. She couldn't tell what aroused her more: Edér's enthusiasm, the feeling of his warm, rigid member in her hand or the feeling of him reaching under her pants and trailing her folds with his broad fingers.
'Look, who's talking,' the veteran laughed and pressed his forehead against hers. He would have looked peaceful if his skin wasn't flushed from desire and his breath wasn't burdened by anticipation.
'Alright,' Gaura nodded and pulled away. 'If you're so impatient, and I'm impatient, then... Just lie back down,' she said with an impish smile as she removed the rest of her clothes.
The Watcher climbed on top of Edér once more, this time, however she placed her knees on either side of his face and leaned forward to face his cock. She heard a guttural but soft laugh coming from under her.
'So... How is it back there?' She asked, then trailed the sharp v-line of his muscles leading to his sex with her tongue. She noticed the mark her nails left on the farmer's leg and she leaned forward to kiss it.
'The view's real nice,' Edér replied. 'Would be better if you weren't so high up,' he left a peck on the Watcher's inner thigh.
Gaura spread her knees a little further apart, and moved to support herself on her elbows instead of her palms.
'How is it now?'
Her question turned into a sharp gasp when she felt Edér's tongue slowly sliding along her slit.
'I dunno. How is it?' Gaura felt his breath on her folds as he spoke, his voice ringing with adoration and slight smugness. The sensation sent a pleasant shiver up her spine.
'Pretty good,' the Watcher tried to downplay the feelings he evoked in her but her shaky voice gave her away.
Edér let out a hearty chuckle before he latched onto her again. Gaura allowed herself to simply feel him lovingly caress her labia with his tongue while his lower lip rubbed against her clit with each movement of his mouth. That one moment of indulgence drove her to crave him all the more. She teasingly ran her tongue down his shaft to the base of his cock, slowly, the way he lapped at her just a moment ago. She retraced the wet trail she left on him with a series of lingering kisses, placing the last one on the tip.
At first, the Watcher only wrapped her mouth around the head of Edér's sex. She suckled on it for a few moments, her tongue teasing the sensitive skin below. Meanwhile her hands pumped the base of his shaft at a slow, somewhat unsteady pace. Gaura had trouble finding a rhythm she found suitable. Between her hair crackling against the veteran's thighs, her heart pounding in her chest, and the sounds being stuck in the back of her throat, she couldn't find anything that felt right, that expressed what she felt for him then and there, all the time and everywhere, while she made love to him and while she was just passing a time on a boring afternoon. She sunk lower, taking more and more of him with each bob of her head, drawing long, hoarse groans of out Edér. She could only hope he could feel how much she admired him, wanted him, needed him, loved him.
Admired, wanted, needed, loved. It seemed like a rhythm as good as any. And it hasn't been long until Edér responded in kind. He quickened his pace, and the patterns his tongue followed became playfully erratic.
Gaura lost all sense of time. She lost herself in the sensation of growing soft, slick and welcoming under his touch, while every last of her nerves tensed up on the edge of ecstasy. She didn't notice that she started grinding against the farmer's tongue. Her muffled moans started to feel suffocating, so she released the veteran with a soft pop. She continued rubbing his shaft while she let out all the sounds that formed in her thanks to Edér. For Edér. He in turn began thrusting into her grip and buried his tongue deeper into her. It was exactly what the Watcher needed. Pleasure overwhelmed her senses, and she fell against Edér's leg, a long, staggered cry bursting out of her. She stayed like that, trembling, while he softly guided her senses through her euphoria.
'Not to rush you, but...' Edér said, once he felt the Watcher was ready to listen again, 'Kinda starting to feel your hair, is all.'
Gaura could barely process his words. But the sight of the farmer's thighs taking on a faint shade of red, dragged her awareness back to her instantly. She took him in her mouth again and this time, each bob of her head was met with Edér's thrust. She felt him throb against her tongue and she instinctively quickened her movements. She felt his grip on her tighten, she felt him being tempted to reach for the back of her head and push her down on his cock. She fulfilled his wish before had the chance to voice it, or to act on it. The Watcher heard Edér mutter something but she couldn't make out the words. She could've sworn it sounded like a profanity. It gave her the determination to spend a few additional moments with her lips around the base of his shaft. Tension was spreading in the veteran and Gaura was going to help him release it by pulling away as slowly as she could. Her mouth was filled up once she reached the tip again.
The Watcher climbed off Edér with a heavy gulp. She knelt beside him for a while, trying to collect her composure again. Then as she locked eyes with the veteran, they both burst out in a joyful and adoring laugh.
'No offense,' Edér said, pointing at the corner of his lips, 'but you look like a bit of a mess.'
Gaura wiped at her mouth before she answered. 'You're one to talk,' she said as she pointed at the skin above her lips. Edér wiped away a few drops of her arousal stuck to his moustache as a response.
The Watcher turned to leave the bed when a hand grabbed her by the wrist.
'Where do you think you're going?' Edér sat up. His eyes, twinkling from his afterglow, peered into Gaura's, and she couldn't stop herself from kissing him.
'Just going to grab another potion for you,' she said with a wink then she pulled away.
It only took her a few seconds to reach her pack and find another bottle of the protective, blue liquid in it. The Watcher rushed back to her bed, she sat beside Edér, beaming at him as she offered the tiny bottle to him.
'Drink up.'
