If asked, Éomer would say that she is not the type of woman who requires tender platitudes in bed. She's spent well over half her life training to ride with, and then riding with, and then leading an éored. The majority of the people she spends any time with are men. She is tall, and strong, and ruthless in a fight. Her embroidery is atrocious.
Eskel's low, peat-smoke voice murmuring in her ear is making her wonder if she should rethink that stance, at least a little bit.
She wants to rock herself back onto his fingers and revel in the thick stretch of his knuckles inside her, but she also wants to come again, and after a few long minutes of trying to decide which option to pick, she winds up deciding on the latter; shifting her weight to brace herself on one arm beside his head, she reaches down with her free hand and brushes his thumb away so she can rub at her clit the way she likes best, winding herself up tighter and tighter until she cries out, clenching down hard around the fingers inside her and trembling through her second orgasm of the night.
He's fine letting her brush his hand aside, focusing on the thrust of his fingers inside her, seeking the right angle and speed, chasing her exquisite reactions. He kisses her, hard, swallowing that cry of pleasure, easing her back down from it before with drawing his fingers entirely. He grins with a shade do self satisfaction.
Humming happily, she lets herself slump forward once she's milked her climax as much as she cares to, letting her arm slide out from beneath her and using the other to shove all her hair out of her face and over one shoulder so she can drape herself across Eskel's chest and rest her cheek on his shoulder, nudging her nose in against his throat.
"Now I'm going to need a minute," she murmurs, shifting a little to get comfortable.
"That's alright. Worth the wait." He declares, too warm to fully embrace her but happy to rest his hand on her back, his chin on the top of her head. "I'll be ready whenever you are." He knows they only have so much time before day and her duties call. And one of them requires sleep, but there's no need to rush to the point of unpleasantness.
Indeed, at some point tonight she's going to have to sleep, if only because she is regrettably entirely human and she also spent most of her day on horseback. And then helping in the fields. She may not be recovering from any life-threatening injuries, but she's still tired and sore, although certainly not tired and sore enough to keep her from indulging in a little bedsport with a handsome man who's been nothing but good to her so far.
Shifting herself a little, she lifts her chin enough to kiss the edge of his jaw before settling back down to wait out the pounding of her heart.
With her nose to his throat, she's all too aware of his heart beating, of the smell of his sweat and the hay from earlier in the day.
"Mmm?" He rumbles. "Oh. Yeah. It's the reason I was alive when you found me. Our hearts beat more slowly to slow down the bleeding, among other things. Toxins and such." His fingers absently trace of the trough of her spine."
"This is much better, I'll admit." He reaches down to give her hip a playful squeeze. "Now look at me. I'm in good health, I have a pretty new horse, and a beautiful, powerful woman in my bed. Honestly? Best life's been for me all season." He grins.
She grins back at him, shifting herself enough that she can see his face, lifting her right hand up to cup his unmarred cheek in her palm to tip his face down so she can kiss him.
"You must name her," she tells him as she reaches back to stroke her fingers along his shaft, curious to see if he was being serious about being ready whenever she was and delighted to find out that he was. "It's bad luck to ride a horse with no name."
He groans, distracted from the business of the horse by her explorative touch. His erection had flagged slightly while they were chatting, but her touch stirs it to life again. He lets out a puff laughter. "Promise I'll think of something. Just...not right now, yeah?"
It takes a little maneuvering, but Éomer does her best to get her hand around him once more so she can stroke him a few times to get him back to full hardness so she can settle herself above his hips and line him up against her so she can push down and take him inside her.
"You don't want to pick a name—" she breaks off for a moment, wiggling her hips and biting her lip against a laugh and a moan both, "—this very moment?"
"Unless you want her name to be 'Fuck' or some other obscene exaltation, yeah, it can wait." He pants, reaching to take hold of her hips, smiling his lopsided smile.
Flushed pink and a glistening lightly from sweat, she braces her hands on his chest and grins back at him, easing herself down until he's seated fully inside her and she can rest her entire weight on him.
He exhales shakily, just reveling in the feeling of being so completely buried inside her, in the way she looks traced in the bright copper of the fireplace. He keeps one hand on her hip and reads the other on top of one of the hands that's braced on his chest.
It makes him dizzy, almost. If it wasn't for pure, passionate instinct he would be feeling fully out of his depth, looking up at this woman who looks back at him with pure want. He tries to think of some retort, but he finds if almost impossible to think, so he stops. His short fingernails bite into the flesh of her hip, tugging, encouraging her to move.
Meanwhile, Éomer lets her eyes drift shut for a moment to savor the stretch of his cock inside her, the fullness it brings that she so rarely gets to feel.
The fingernails pressing sharply into her hip are a clear enough instruction even without words, and so she starts to move, digging her knees into the mattress beside him and using all those muscles she's spent her entire life developing on horseback to send her rocking above him.
He cannot help but stare. Watching her muscles ripple under her skin as she rides him. It's beautiful. Not merely arousing, but beautiful. To say nothing of how it feels. A groan tears itself from his chest and his hips roll upwards to meet her.
Éomer laughs quietly, not because anything is funny, but from a pure upswell of joy inside her, a heady mix of selfish satisfaction at seeing him so well-healed after she had been half-convinced he'd die with his blood on her hands combined with the pleasure of making what feels like a true, honest connection with another human being sending little bubbles of happiness singing through her blood like the fizz of a particularly strong batch of ale.
With her hands braced on the sturdy spread of his ribs, she opens her eyes and grins down at him as she circles her hips, testing out what feels good and definitely trying to decide what she could do to make him make that sound again.
He gives up trying to match her and just lets her ride him, hands smoothing over her thighs, caressing her stomach, palming a breast. He feels like he's drunk. Everything is at once far away and hyper-sensitive. He feels...confused, with this beautiful, powerful woman above him, her hands braced on his body, her entire being alive with the pleasure of their two bodies. It's a lot to take in, but merely expresses itself in a ragged curse.
She laughs again, low and throaty, and curls her fingers sharply into his chest, not digging her fingernails in deliberately but just pressing, just to feel him as his calloused hands stroke over whatever part of her he can reach.
"Say my name," she demands, wanting to hear him shape the syllables of her name with his low growl.
She can't help but shiver when Eskel complies with her request, pleased both by the sound of her name on his tongue and also by how easily he did as she asked.
"Again," she breathes, pushing herself off from his chest so she can lean back and brace herself on his legs instead, moaning loudly as she shifts her body and subsequently changes the angle of how he rubs inside her.
It shifts the position a little for him to and he groans, hands moving restlessly over whatever he can reach. He pants her name like a feverish prayer as he rocks his hips, driving into her at an angle she seemed to prefer.
Pinning him down as she is, this position doesn't afford Eskel too much room to maneuver, but it gives Éomer all the room she might like and then some, room enough to rise up and drop herself back down, the slap of their skin meeting loud in the little cottage.
It's a good thing they're in Hjaroarholt in this little cottage Eskel has all but taken over, because had they reunited out on the road, there wouldn't have been nearly enough privacy to afford them the chance to do this together. Had they tried to lie together anywhere but within the privacy of these four walls, it would have had to be a quick, fumbling affair, half-clothed and muffled to avoid drawing too much attention. She certainly never would have had him flat on his back beneath her, his body laid out for her in the warm light of the fire like a feast, nor would she have ever braced herself above him like this without a stitch of clothing on, bouncing on his cock and moaning like she's being paid for it.
On the road, he simply wouldn't have dared. But here, he's warm and comfortable and how could he not give himself over to this woman? This person who had held his mangled body in her hands without flinching, sewed him up, carried him home. A few stolen moments, a night of passion before they both return to their responsibilities, to the people who are depending on them, seems right somehow.
His fingers tighten, as if he could hang onto this moment just a little harder.
Not that there's anything wrong with half-clothed and muffled liaisons, but this is better. This is something she hasn't let herself have in a very long time, something she didn't realize how much she missed until she had it again. There's definitely something to be said about having a powerful man pinned beneath her, watching her with something like awe on his face as he murmurs her name. It makes her feel invincible.
Maintaining her steady rhythm, she licks her lips and tries to gather herself enough so that she can do more than just make noise incoherently, returning her focus to his face and grinning at him.
"What do you need?" she asks. "Tell me what I can do for you."
