thesunandthesea | morning after.

The word on her tongue makes him swoon. There's no way to resist the impulse when she's insisting like that. His restraint yields, and his strokes return to their eagerness, quickly escalating as he wills her to align him so he can have her.

His focus brings his cheek to her temple; looking at her eyes is too distracting. It leaves him shallowly panting against her ear, and he swallows, trying to steady his breath.

Please, please, please.

It goes so simply now, the world of difference from the night before. Everything made slippery, easy, as he grinds against her, and she makes shallow breaths against his lips while her fingers fumble to guide him. A strain, still some push to it -

- and then she feels him slide in again and she moans in a stunned pleasure in comparison to the night before. It felt good, now, her body knowing what to expect, the release before making everything so much relaxed now, as he finds purchase in side of her as her eyes close. Oh. Oh this - this is - yes.

Her hands move to his hips, her knees lifting to bracket him, and let him drive into her freely now.

Even with his body's begging, there's still a flicker of surprise when he's finally granted the entrance he so desperately aches for. Sweeney wants to shove. And shove and shove and shove. He burns to fill her and lose himself inside her as the sounds of their shared ecstasy fills the room. But part of him knows he shouldn't, and it tries to keep a leash on himself.

Sweeney struggles to keep his strokes shallow, more rocking than fully pushing. He wants her to have time to adjust so she isn't crying out in surprised pain again. The torture of it makes him wince and whimper behind lips pressed so tightly they're white. His eyes roll beneath their lids; he doesn't dare look at her, lest his resolve break.

There is no muffled pain, no surprised gasp and whimper. Her hands grip on eagerly, her eyes fluttering between open and closed as he takes shallow thrusts that spark like flint. The angle, the movement, it felt like the end bit again, when it started to feel good.

Little moans tumble from her lips, her thighs twitching against his sides her fingers slipping and scraping. It felt good but it wasn't- more. That thing he did that was more. "Please - please, want - I want-" Higher and higher, all cascading pleading for more.

What is he supposed to do when she sings so sweetly? Sweeney doesn't slow when his eyes flash open, seeking hers to make sure they're on the same page. Everything about what she's doing feels like an invitation, but he's wary to assume without being able to see her face. But when he does, there's a wash of relief at the answer.

He allows himself deeper. Eager but not cruel, he at least tries to manage his pace with every inch he takes. He sneaks kisses between stolen breaths. Gods, she's like a summer's day, tasting of sweat and ripe fruit; a labor rewarded.

Eventually, their hips meet, and a trembling moan grazes her lips.

She isn't sure how long he was last, already so pent up. His body thrumming below her, from her tentative touches to this now and his restraint.

But - she found she did not mind. He had been so careful and sweet this morning, now that the pressure of the night before was over. His eagerness was thrilling. His desire of her, too, so new and interesting that she finds herself now simply watching him. Watching the pleasure over his face and with it she begins to - adjust. Figure out what he liked some more. Letting her legs sit wider, and roll her hips up so he could flush easier without straining for the drive. That she could tense her core like when she rode, and it make her flutter and feel him better inside of her.

He barely dares a few strokes before he tries to catch himself. Sweeney doesn't stop; no, it's nothing like that; but he tries to keep the distance of his thrusts a bit tighter.

His throat parched, he swallows a couple of times before he dares attempt words.

"Are ya--" Right.

"Good?"

Sweeney's toes flex against his Want, but he stays focused.

"Hurt?"

It's important to him to know, whether or not they continue with such knowledge. If it's uncomfortable, but she's still eager, he'll do his best to get through the thing without dwelling.

She takes a deep lungful for the space he gives her - and gives a little shake of her head. "No hurt."

The opposite in fact, from her following keen as she grabs onto his shoulders. He feels so far away, so she reaches for him, pulling him back to kiss her again. It was her new favourite thing. All her day dreaming and it was nothing to the wonderful reality. Breathing together, moving together.

Oh, thank fuck. Sweeney releases the breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding, sighing softly into her mouth as he allows himself to fill her fully again. It feels so...right, in a way he can't place. It's not as if he hasn't fucked his fair share of lasses, deep and hard. Perhaps it's because she's his wife, or perhaps because he was her first, and he feels a sense of obligation to protect her, even if it's from him.

But the way she pulls at him banishes those worries, and in short order, he's found full strokes. He savors the grip of her along every inch, only to delight in claiming them back again. Even as he tries to pace himself, his thrusts gradually build in vigor, and his voice escapes more freely. Groans and whimpers are speckled with hitched breaths. Every so often a word sneaks past.

"Beautiful...beautiful...wife beautiful..."

That - that part feels so startling again. His drive, his hunger. The strength of him letting go as he goes again and again between her thighs like he found something there he must have.

And how he praises her. Like she's something wonderful. Maybe he had been told to say that as a polite way to welcome his new bride. But it felt wonderful in the moment, that he thought she was beautiful, that he couldn't help but go faster again the way he clearly liked. Encouraging him, let him know she liked all of it comes with more kisses, her hands running up and down his back, letting him find that point he so desperately sought with the same curiosity.

His freer hand shifts to her hip, squeezing it for a moment before sliding up her thigh to her knee. Sweeney hooks it and encourages her to curl her leg over his back. There's intimacy there, the joining of their bodies in more than one place, but it also buys him a few more fractions of an inch.

Every muscle starts to tense, and his jaw flexes when he grits his teeth. The cliff in in sight, and he runs towards it with wild abandon, restraint finally yielding to his raw Want. It's a desperate thing, so long chained, and as he chases his climax, it's easy to sense the warrior in him; a primal thing that won't stop until it's claimed victory with a sharp cry.

He's so handsome, as she watched, fascinated completely in seeing the pleasure wash over him. Still felt good, felt welcome and eager, and maybe, with more time, it might have built to the same high again. But even without that, she watches him in eagerness. Her lips roaming to kiss across his neck and shoulders. A little firmer to nip against his ear, the same murmurs of encouragement, and the soft little moans that slip between them when he grinds against something that made her jolt and twitch and clench tightly around him.

At least until he finishes, that deeper claiming dig where he is as far into her as he can be, his body twitching and she feels it better this time without being so overwhelmed. That warmth that floods her that is not her - but him, and the blush is hidden behind her over all flush that it does not matter so much. Rather, she just keeps kissing where she can reach, nosing against his long braids to pepper them against his skin.

The tension lingers as he pulses in her, but eventually it ebbs as the glow of pleasure washes over him in the wake. Sweeney doesn't draw back; no, this is something he intends to savor for a fair bit longer; but his muscles start to uncoil as he lets his breath fall into shallow pants.

A few seconds later, he nuzzles kisses against her temple and into her hair as a sign of his gratitude. He swallows repeatedly, his mind swimming as he grasps for straws to give her in her native tongue.

"Alright?"

"Mmhm." She nodded at him, best as she could below him. Her smile still there, and it twinged a little after the night before.

Though she is not sure if she wants him to move yet, or stay. This closeness was - nice. Good. It did not feel as awful as the night before or as overwhelming. This brand new thing they were. "Felt nice."

That phrase catches him off-guard; not that he thought she'd been as miserable as the night prior, but it's still a far jump to 'feeling nice'. Sweeney leans back, enough to put her in clear focus but not so much as to part their hips. His eyes dance over her features, making sure they're both on the same page.

"Nice?"

His expression is a mix of unsureness, surprise, and hope; it makes him look a little younger for it.

"Really?"

She pressed back into the pillows to try and get the same space to seem him clearer.

It did feel different in the light of day - and now the playing and teasing was gone, and... she could not be exactly more embarrassed than before, when he was still inside of her. So with that courage, she meets his gaze, and nods.

"Nice." She repeats again. "Better." She clarifies to make him know that it was not like the night before when it had hurt. "Ache from - last night. But not hurt."

For a moment, he's practically giddy. Sweeney's quick to bury it in fresh kisses; not deep or rough, simply affection pressed and nipped and sucked over her skin, as if he's promising to devour her at some point, later on. Speaking of promises, he pauses, then looks up to meet her eyes.

"Do ya need ta wash up b'fore--" Sweeney catches himself. There's the sense that he wants to address the topic in her own tongue, out of reverence to the thing.

"Do you need to clean before bath?" He squints, unsure if that's clear enough. "Before fancy bath. St. Loe bath. Tradition."

It makes her laugh in surprise. A clear surprised sound that she had not done so far. His eagerness so boyish and glad, was so unexpected. Like any young man and not a prince, and all his kisses tickle.

She brushes his red braids back, smoothing against his temple. "We do, tonight. It takes- time. I dance for you, first. Then we do."

Sweeney's lashes grow heavy when she touches his hair, but he's promptly distracted by her answer. The smallest frown creases when his brow lowers. He's moderately concerned, but tries to sell it as caution.

"I not learn dance," he confesses.

"I was not told."

She grins again at she shakes her head.

"No, me, for you." She has to pause and try and get the words right. "I dance, for you. Show you - I am good wife, strong, to please you."

Oh, alright. Sweeney thinks he figured out where the misunderstanding was; she's going to dance, then they'll bathe, not that she'll dance and then he will also. That leaves him more confident. Enough that he's willing to slide back to a touch of wickedness.

"Oh, you please me," he assures her with a grind. She's so deliciously warm.

"Good wife." Sweeney leans in to kiss her, then lingers near her lips when he whispers.

"My very good wife."

"Ah-" her breathe catches, pulse fluttering as he rocks, her overstimulated nerves not ready as she tries to kiss back. Hanging onto each touch, her fingers digging into his arms with his teasing.

"You - please me ... too." She tries, but it is so hard to string words together in his language, when he's doing that.

He smiles wickedly even though she can't see it. It's not lost in the low velvet of his voice.

"I could again," Sweeney offers, nuzzling her cheek.

"B'fore we get some breakfast."

Fuck, if he had more food in here, he'd have been more than happy to hole up and make her squirm until she faints from ecstasy.

His voice is temptation without the smile, warm and rich, sliding against her senses like a invitation.

"But you... we..." she's a little surprised, or maybe just confused about the expectations she was told about. "I.... my maid - she said - men only want once?"

And then fall asleep, was the assurance.

Sweeney leans back enough to look at her, but not so far as to get her fully into focus.

"You...want me out?"

Sure, things are winding down, but he's far from flaccid and has been quite enjoying her warmth wrapped around him. But he's not going to force it on her, if she's done for the time being.
