She had ached from their morning — well, fucking is the proper term for what they did, wasn't it, but somehow in the memory of that rosy pre-dawn glow of morning, fucking simply feels too harsh a word — from when Eskel had settled himself between her thighs and they rocked together still half-asleep and then later, just before she took her leave of him properly, when he had bent her over the table in his cottage and left bruises in the shape of his hands on her hips that lingered for nearly a week after.

The memory of that little cottage had been a bright spot in an otherwise bleak year. It's hard for her to remember that it was only autumn when they parted. It feels like a lifetime ago.

"I see," she drawls, curling her fingers under the buckles and straps that stretch across his chest, settling herself with the familiar shape of him under her hands. "So you thought you'd come riding down from your mountain and saunter into my path because...you couldn't stop thinking about fucking me?"

[wolfdogwitcher]

"Would you think less of me if I said yes?" He laughs. "Ostensibly I'm here to pay you for the horse, but I won't lie if I thought I might pass a night or two with you if I found you." He rests his other hand on her other hip and butts his had against hers like a large animal and rumbles contentedly.

She's looked so pretty bent over the rough-hewn table, half dressed, her shirt shoved up around her waist so he could rail her properly, taking her hard simply because he knew she could handle it, and wanted him to do so.

[hlaefdige]

"It would be rather hypocritical of me if I did," she replies. The head-butting is so bizarrely charming that she laughs a little, letting go of the straps on his chest so she can reach up and loop her arms around his shoulders, laughing again when she's thwarted by everything he's got on. "What is... why are your shoulders so spiky?" She can slide her arms around his neck if she's careful about it, and so she does, doing her best to avoid jostling his swords while she's at it. "Honestly, are the spikes really necessary?"

[wolfdogwitcher]

"Gotta keep the monsters from getting too handsy." He snorts. "But if you object, I'd be happy to take it off for you." He slides his hands down her hips before he stops himself.

"I'll get you in trouble, carrying on like this." He sighs.

[hlaefdige]

"How could they possibly resist the attempt?" Gods know she never has.

Pulling back slightly so that she can see his face, she frowns lightly up at him, her eyebrows quirking. "With whom?" Did he miss the part where she is the queen of this country, and can more or less do whatever she likes with whomever she pleases?

[wolfdogwitcher]

"I dunno. I mean...a queen probably shouldn't get caught fucking a random man, a witcher no less." Not that he wants to pull away or take his hands from those velvet-draped hips.

[hlaefdige]

"Eskel, I say this with all the affection in my heart: stop thinking so much and just kiss me already."

Nobody is going to catch them right now, not after Éothain led the witcher to her study knowing full well what will probably happen behind closed doors. He was there, after all, when Éomer gingerly swung herself up into the saddle after leaving Eskel and his cottage behind. He knows.

[wolfdogwitcher]

"Yes, ma'am." He says jokingly, sweeping her into his arms and kissing her, letting his hands roam wherever they wish. She feels so good under his hands; even under the finely tailored garments of her station, he can feel that her body is still as strong as when he had left her last. The strong muscles with curves that fit perfectly into his large hands. It's only the velvet that's a novelty.

[hlaefdige]

What a relief it is to be held in the arms of a man who respected her even before she was a queen, a man who wanted her before she wore a rope of gold around her neck, a man who looked at her with awe before she was given a throne to sit upon.

His hands on her body feel just as large as she remembers, and his torn lip against hers feels just as odd as it did before, but it's a familiar sensation, and so very welcome that she throws herself into returning his kiss with wild enthusiasm, clinging to his shoulders spikes and all and threading her fingers through his hair.

[wolfdogwitcher]

It's nice, to not have to think too much about his face. She's already kissed his torn mouth, touched the angry red lines ploughed through his skin, seen how his face looks in unguarded moments. He thinks only about her, nudging her towards the edge of her desk as he quickly sheds that dangerous jacket in a clattering of buckles.

[hlaefdige]

His face doesn't bother her at all any longer. The scars are as much a part of him as his golden eyes, or the way his hair insists on falling across his forehead messily, or the low rumble of his voice.

His weapons and the padded and spiked jacket discarded, Eskel is left in a far more approachable chemise, and Éomer lets herself slide her hands over as much of him as she can reach, reminding herself of how his powerful body feels beneath her palms as she lets him back her up against her desk.

[wolfdogwitcher]

He lets her hands move over him as he lifts her bodily up onto the desk, fighting with the layers of velvet so he can stand between her knees. It's hard not to rush, this moment feels stolen somehow-- prying her away from the duties of a new queen-- and he's afraid to waste it.

[hlaefdige]

She should definitely not be doing this here, even if they will not be discovered. For one thing, there is a settee not that far away, and for another, a set of doors leads through an adjoining corridor into her new bedchamber.

She doesn't want to fuck him in her uncle's bed. It feels... She doesn't even like to sleep there. Bringing a man to bed where she doesn't even like to lie herself does not feel right.

Letting Eskel hoist her up onto the desk so he can step between her spread knees feels a lot better.

"I thought perhaps you had died," she confesses between kisses, fully aware now is probably not the time for discussing this but being unable to help herself. "When I did not hear of you. It saddened me."

[wolfdogwitcher]

He's not so out of practice that he can't talk and paw at her at the same time, one hand toying with a breast through the fabric of her dress, the other pulling her hips close enough to feel the way he's half-hard beneath the leather flies of his trousers.

"I'm sorry." He sounds like he means it. For her to think she had lost her sometimes-lover as well as her family must have been piled on another sorrow she didn't need. He doesn't tell her that it may happen one day, that he had warned her about that very thing. It's not the right time. Right now is for simply reacquainting themselves with each other's bodies.

[hlaefdige]

Just because something is expected doesn't make it any easier to bear in the moment. There were many long nights in the aftermath of the Ring War, when she was sitting vigil at her sister's bedside, when she was lying in her bedroll on the march back to Edoras, when she was sitting awake at her window and listening to the newly-made widows wailing their grief, that she had wished for someone to turn to, someone who could hold her even for a little while, even though they could not fix what was wrong.

It had been hard to allow herself to need anything or anyone when she was in charge of a third of her uncle's army. Now that she's in charge of the entire country...

"It's alright." Her voice is steady, at least, even if she does sound somewhat subdued as she reaches for the laces of his shirt. "I just thought you should know." That someone was thinking of him, that someone might miss him when he dies.

[wolfdogwitcher]

"Hey." He catches her chin between thumb and forefinger. "I'm glad I made it back here to see you. And I'm glad you're alive." He kisses her again, his free hand creeping up her thigh. Slowly, an unspoken question.

[hlaefdige]

She lets herself be caught and held, her green eyes searching his golden ones fearlessly.

"As am I," she agrees after a moment, a sigh seeping past her lips as he leans in to kiss her, and when his hand finds itself on her thigh, she hums into his kiss and spreads her legs a little more, an unspoken answer.

[wolfdogwitcher]

He's careful, of course. They haven't built up to the point when he'd last done this. Just gentle caresses while they kiss for now, senses attuned to her body to know when best to stop teasing.

"Do you want me to fuck you right here on your desk?" He asks in a low growl, his grin so hungry it's easy to remember he's a predator merely shaped like a man. "Because I don't think I can wait to move this to some other, more private venue."

[hlaefdige]

She's definitely not ready to take him straight away, but she trusts him to know her limits and not to push her past them. He had seemed to know just what she needed the last time they lay together without asking, it stands to reason he would know tonight as well.

"What venue is more private than the Queen's own chambers?" she asks, the fine little hairs on the back of her neck rising in response to that low growl of his. A sensible person might be frightened by a witcher looking at them so hungrily, by the way he sounds when he speaks to her. Éomer is clearly not very sensible. "I want you to fuck me so well right here on this desk that I will not be able to sit at it without thinking of your cock."

Her study may not be her bedchamber, but no one will interrupt them here, not even the servants. He doesn't have to worry about being caught up her skirts.

[wolfdogwitcher]

He laughs just beside her ear.

"Maybe I'll keep coming back. Maybe we can see how many places I can fuck you. Would you have a witcher for a lover, even now that you are queen?" His fingers shift a little bit, delving between her thighs and finding the small but distinct shape of her clitoris with the tips of his rough fingers. The lighting touch is at once careful and teasing.

[hlaefdige]

"I would have any lover I please," she counters, her thighs tensing as she shifts into the touch of his fingers, one hand curling around the back of his neck while the other strokes restlessly across his shoulder and down his arm.

"What better lover than a witcher who will not give me any bastards to raise?" She might as well be honest about it. There are many reasons she'd take Eskel as a lover, ones that have nothing to do with him being sterile, but right now, for her current situation, it is the one reason that seems to be the most important. She will have to bear some man's children eventually. It might as well be her husband's.

[wolfdogwitcher]

"Practical as always." He chuckles. "Probably for the best, because I intend to make the most of the time we have together and that could be very risky indeed, where I a normal man." He rocks against her thigh, patient but not interested in concealing his desire. "Of course, a normal man can't fuck you as many times as I can."

[hlaefdige]

Perhaps after she has produced at least one legitimate heir, a bastard child may not be so terribly scandalous — well, for a given value of not terribly scandalous — but it truly is just as well that Eskel cannot get her pregnant.

"I have no interest in normal men," she promises with a breathless little laugh, arching up into him. She will have to marry one eventually, most likely a younger son of a neighboring kingdom, a prince with enough money in his coffers to buy food to feed her people and repair the damage wrought to their lands. In return, she will sell him a crown and her womb. Neither of them will probably want the marriage, but want has nothing to do with duty, and Éomer will always fulfill her duty.

Eskel is something entirely outside of that. Eskel is not for Éomer the queen, but for Éomer the woman. It will be enough.

[wolfdogwitcher]

Queen, commander...she could be a pauper or a whore. As long as she was still Éomer, the woman who had held his ruined flesh together, saved his life and then fearlessly crawled into his bed, he knew he would want her for as long as she wanted him in turn.

He buries his face in her neck, groaning. As soon as he thinks she's able to take it, he presses one of those thick fingers inside her.

[hlaefdige]

She has not taken another lover since their last meeting, too busy with trying to keep the tattered remains of her life together, but bedding a witcher is not the sort of thing you forget all that easily.

Tipping her chin back to make room for him at the crook of her neck, she squirms a little and tries not to whimper too obviously as he presses his finger inside of her, curling her fingers in his hair and holding on. She's wet for him already, slick and ready, but it still takes a moment for her body to remember how to adjust to the intrusion.
