Housewarming

[pinprick]

The representatives from Eudio left them at the doorstep of their house in Amaranthine, and Nathaniel wraps his arm around Anders' waist when they're inside. There's a fire going, just as he left it last time. There are drapes, rugs, furniture, everything necessary.

"Welcome home. Do you like it?"

Anders keeps looking around with an strong smile on his face. It's so strange to think that he finally has a home. He chuckles a bit. "I love it," he says. He turns his head a bit to kiss Nathaniel.

[pinprick]

Nathaniel makes a soft sound into the kiss. Maker, every time they're together like this, all he wants to do is jump his bones.

"Want to see the bedroom?" he rumbles when they part.

[apostasy]

Anders chuckles a bit. "Are you trying to seduce me?" he asks, though he seems very pleased.

[pinprick]

"You want me to try?"

Nathaniel forcibly turns Anders by his waist, so they are face to face. Their faces are very close.

"You ought to come see the bedroom," he purrs. "There's a surprise waiting for you."

[apostasy]

"I like your surprises," he replies. He kisses Nathaniel lightly and then pulls back so he can move to the bedroom.

The bedroom is upstairs. Nathaniel threads his fingers with Anders' and leads him up there, and pushes the bedroom door open. There's another fireplace inside, and a large bed scattered with flower petals. The headboard and footboard are both intricate enough to allow for bondage. And in one corner, a network of hanging silk that can only be a swing.

"Tonight, I'm going to treat you with such a debauchery as to rival the Archon of Tevinter. All night."

It is, after all, basically their wedding night.

[apostasy]

Anders grins so wide his cheeks ache. He doesn't respond verbally. Instead, he turns to Nathaniel and pulls him closer. He kisses deep and hard, desperate to get as close as he can.

Nathaniel's fingers grasp Anders' long tunic, pulling him close but pushing them both toward the bed until they tumble onto it, clashing in a mess of limbs and teeth. As soon as he can, he starts sending clothes flying, tearing away everything between him and Anders.

Anders makes a pleased noise as he falls into the bed. Then he helps shed off their clothes. Once he's exposed and naked he wraps his arms around Nathaniel and presses against him with another deep kiss.

[pinprick]

The only thing either of them is wearing now is the engagement locket around Anders' neck. And now, now it's time to worship Anders.

Nathaniel ravages his mouth before reverently kissing down to his jaw, then his throat, hands stroking up and down his sides. The hollow of his throat, across the collarbone and down the slope of one shoulder as his hands slide over his chest, fingers gently teasing both nipples. Maker, he loves this body. Now he has to worship the other side like he did the first, paying special attention to each freckle he comes across. Not one will escape. Especially the ones on his shoulders. Those ones are hidden, rarely visible to anyone but him. He has to warm them because the sun hardly ever does. That presents an idea--they can go outdoors naked and make love on a blanket in the woods, or on the grass under the sun. Or under the light of the moon and stars, a million shining witnesses that will never tell a soul.

Down his chest, across his stomach, up each leg, nipping and sucking at the sensitive skin of the inner thighs so he can mark it blue and red. He turns Anders over and kisses slowly down his spine, capturing every freckle with his mouth, until he reaches his tailbone, where he draws circles with his tongue all the way down to his entrance, hands parting him gently to allow access.

Anders thrives on this attention. So much who who he had been when he first met Nate had been driven by thirst for love and affection. His snarky words, the teasing, constantly bringing up his sexual exploits in the Circle, it had all been so people would look at him, pay attention to him.

And then Justice and Kirkwall and all of the rest had happened and Anders had thought no one would ever touch him with tenderness or love him ever again. Nate being there, Nate being so wiling to shower him with all of his love and desire made Anders feel like his chest was too tight for his heart.

He could spend the rest of his life just like this and be the happiest man to ever live.

That kind of sappy thought process gets driven away once Nathaniel's tongue his on him though. He groans and shifts his legs to make it easier for Nate to have access to him. The pleasure of having his body paid such close attention to spreads throughout him and makes him willing to do whatever Nathaniel wants.
