The two walked into the bungalow, hand in hand. She grabbed the bag with her clothes. "I'll be right back." She gave him a wink as she disappeared into his room to change into her bathing suit. When she reemerged, she gave him a little twirl. "How does it look?" He walks up to her and grabs her hand so she can twirl again. "Baby, you already know what I'm going to say." he pulls her close and looks her in the eye. "You're absolutely stunning."
She giggled at his words. "Thank you. I'm still getting used to someone thinking that about me, but thank you, vhenan. I appreciate it," she told him as she caressed his cheek. "I am honored that I get to remind you every moment of every day how loved you are, because, Virevadahl, I truly, deeply, love you." She wrapped her arms around him as she smiled up at him. "And I am so very thankful for you, vhenan. I love you more than words can say."
He cups her face and kisses her deeply again, hoping that it could translate just how much he loved her. He would kill for her, he would die for her, he would live for her. She smiled into the kiss, pulling herself closer to him. He was all she wanted and all she never knew she needed. "I love you so much, I hope you know that," she whispered against his lips as she pulled away. "If only there were a way for me to devote myself to you fully and promise to love you till death do us part. Hmm," he shrugged, then moved inside the bungalow to change into his swim shorts.
"Oh, don't you start with the wedding stuff again," she jokingly threatened as she waited for him to change. He dresses and comes out. "Are you truly that against it?" "Not at all. I just think it's a little early for that, even by Warden standards," she admitted with a chuckle. "I think you would make an amazing husband." "You think it's early? As I recall, you told me you loved me on our first date," he chuckled. "Vhenan, life is short. If you remember, I died yesterday. Then my soul is linked with Harlowe! The live fast, die young type."
She chuckled and shook her head. You make a good point. If we did get married, would you want a big, fancy ceremony or something more personal with a small group, on the beach maybe?" "I would like multiple. A beach wedding for my culture, and if allowed, a Dalish for your culture. I would love to show my wife off to everyone with a big ceremony, but I think the idea of a small, intimate wedding is nice. Sharing the moment with close loved ones," he walks over to the surfboards and sets them on a stand. "What would you like? Your choice is the most important." "I want a dalish bonding ceremony with dalish vows, but other than that, I would just be happy to call you my husband," she told him as she wrapped her arms around him.
"Can you go further into how a Dalish bonding ceremony is done? Does it have to take place with your clan?" "Traditionally, the vows are said before the keeper, and they place a blessing on the couple, but I've heard of it being done without a keeper. However, I would have to ask Mel. "Can it be done anywhere? Like, say we do a Dalish ceremony with Dalish vows on the beach?" "I don't see why not, but I can't say for sure. You'd have to ask Mel about it," she said with a smile, tucking a stray hair behind her ear. "My love, I plan on getting Mel's blessing before I propose to you. Not a moment before."
"Well, based on your interactions so far, I can see her absolutely giving you her blessing to ask me, by the way," She chuckled against his lips. "I don't know, Mel could end up biting my head off," he laughed. She laughed with him. "Nah, I doubt it. Normally, I'm the only one whose head she bites off," she said with a chuckle. "So, imagine if I go to her asking for your hand in marriage, do you think she would agree?" "You might want to butter her up with some of her favorite tea first," she admitted, "but I don't see her saying no, honestly."
"Talking about tea, you need to take me to your tea master!" he goes to a shed near the house, grabs a bar of wax, and starts rubbing it on Ivey's new board. "I'd be happy to," she told him as she approached and watched him intently. "What does that do?" Her ears twitched with curiosity as she watched with a catlike gaze. "Oh! So your board is new, so I need to apply wax to it so you can stay on it. If I don't, you would be slipping and sliding everywhere!" She nodded as she watched. "You say that like I probably won't anyway," she joked as she gently bumped his arm with hers
"Would you like to practice more before I go out there with you? Make sure you're okay?” "Yeah, I would like that. Make sure I haven't forgotten what I learned last time," she admitted sheepishly as she ran a hand through her hair. "Of course, my love. I could maybe even have you ride on in the front of my board while I shred a wave." She smiled brightly up at him. "Yeah, I would like that, vhenan. Thank you." She traced her hand up and down his arm as she leaned against him. “Let me finish prepping your board, then I'll grab mine and we can hit some waves, then come back and have you practice after feeling how the larger waves feel."
Her eyes lit up with the idea. "Yay! I can't wait." Her smile couldn't be wider if she tried. He finished waxing Ivey's board, then grabbed his. He did a few quick swipes of the wax on his board. He put his board under one arm and picked Ivey up with the other and headed towards the water. "Let's break in that new suit of yours. Shall we?" She laughed as he picked her up. "I would say lead the way, but uhh I don't see how else I would get there," she teased as she rested her hand on his chest.
He stopped and set her down. "I'm so sorry, love. Would you like me to carry you? I honestly really enjoy carrying you around, like the queen you are." She pouted as he set her down. "I love when you carry me, vhenan. It makes me feel special. Now," she held her arms out towards him, "Carry me." She instructed him, her voice full of joy and laughter. He smiled widely, "Yes, my queen," he picked her up and continued towards the water. She laughed as he picked her back up and kissed his cheek. "My hero," she teased with a wide smile.
They made it to the water, and he set her down. The water is nice and cool, not hot or cold, but perfect temperature. He holds his board still. "Hop on up, love, closer to the nose or front of the board, you may feel like you're going to tip, but I got you." "Okay," she nervously agrees as she hops onto the board and sits cross-legged towards the front of the board. "If I fall off, I'm blaming you," she jokingly threatened. "Oh, you'll fall off after we shred, just so you know, but getting to the wave and riding it, I won't let you fall." He sits on the board and holds her from behind. "I promise," then kisses her neck. She leaned into his touch and hummed as he kissed her neck. "Well, if you're gonna do that, at least it'll be worth it," she teased with a chuckle.
He chuckles as he lies on his board and starts paddling out further. They reached an area where the waves coming in are not too high but definitely good for surfing. He sat up on his board and grabbed Ivey by the waist. "I'm going to let a few come through until I find a good one. So I got you in the meantime." She let out a small squeak of surprise as he grabbed her and leaned back against him, resting her head on his shoulder. "You know, this is oddly romantic," she admitted with a chuckle.
"I think any moment spent between us can be viewed as romantic," he says, kissing her cheek. "True, but this is especially romantic, love," she quipped as she wrapped her arms over his, pulling them closer around him. He smiled, feeling her arms on his. He then spots a nice wave coming in. He taps Ivey to get her to look at the incoming wave. "There we go! That's a good one there! Okay, hold onto the board if you need to."
She saw the wave and let go of Oakley to brace for impact as she gripped the sides of the board. "Ready as I'll ever be," she said with a chuckle. He chuckled and got all prepped to get the wave. The wave came in, and he caught it at the perfect time, riding the wave, no tricks like he usually would do, because he wanted her to fully experience it. Which is what he got, while riding the wave, the wave barrelled, which made it look like they were inside the wave. Oak excitedly howled. She watched in amazement and childlike wonder as they rode the wave and it tunneled around them. Her eyes sparkled with joy as she laughed with excitement.
He rode in the barrel and exited, not needing to jump, but he howled again and grabbed Ivey, and he fell in. His excitement was over the moon. They both came back to the surface. "Baby, I am so sorry, but I couldn't help myself! WOOO! What a rush!" "So you couldn't wait for me to fall in on my own, you had to tackle me into the water?" She sassed him with a laugh as she pushed her wet hair out of her face, as she treaded water.
His adrenaline was still pumping. He helped Ivey back on the board, and he started paddling back to the beach. "Let's get your board. You can try some baby waves. I am dying to do some tricks. Ugh, I wish Harlowe were here. She would love this!" She couldn't help but chuckle at his enthusiasm. He truly was a ray of sunshine. "I don't know. Part of me just wants to watch you do tricks and enjoy the show," she teased with a chuckle as he paddled them back to shore.
"Well, we at least have to get your board wet! Wait here! I'll grab your board." He left Ivey sitting on his board while he ran to grab her board. He got it and ran back out to where she was. "Let's go!" She chuckled as she climbed off his board and onto hers, her legs dangling in the water. "You know, it's funny, I never thought I would get to see a beach this beautiful, much less learn how to surf. It doesn't feel real sometimes." "I couldn't imagine my life not on a beach or on the sea."
"I'll be honest, being landlocked sucks. I much prefer the beach, getting breath in the sea air, seeing my love shirtless. It doesn't get much better than this. All I need is a drink in my hand, and it would be perfect," she said with a smile as she leaned back on her hands as she sat on her board. "I can head back and get you a drink. What would you like? I'm an excellent bartender." "Oh, no, that's okay, love. You don't have to do that. This is still wonderful regardless." "I'll remember that for the future, though!" He watched as the waves got a bit bigger. His eyes lit up with excitement. "My love, are you coming with or staying back and watching?"
"I'll stay back for now. I want to enjoy the show," she said with a smirk as she winked at him. "Go on, show off for me, vhenan." She paused, thinking better after a moment. "Just be careful!" He smiled widely, "Make sure you're securely on your board." He paddles out and prepares for a good wave. She couldn't believe how much she loved him. She had fallen hard and fast, but it was real. She would do anything for him, including fighting his blood mage ex-girlfriend, who wanted him dead. She sat back on her board, ready to watch him have fun
A large wave comes in, and he gets it in the perfect moment; he can be heard howling and yelling while riding. He does a few tricks in the air, then the wave barrels him. It looks like it engulfed him completely. She leaned forward, immediately on alert at seeing him topple. She waits for a few moments for him to resurface, readying herself to paddle out and find him. "Oakley?" she calls out to him, hoping he can hear her. He comes out of the end of the wave, still on his board, screaming, "CHEE-HOO!"
She laughs and rolls her eyes at his shenanigans, shaking her head. "I would fall in love with the goofiest man I have ever met," she chuckled to herself as she watched him. He paddles back over to Ivey, "WOO! That was a sick wave! What a thrill! Just wait till you can shred those, love!" "I look forward to it. You looked amazing out there, love," she flirted as she splashed him from where she was seated on her board. "Come with me and try. I'll be right behind you, making sure you're steady."
"Alright, just... You better not laugh at me when I fall off the board," she lightly threatened as she splashed him again. "My heart, I would never laugh at you!" "See, you say that, but I find it hard to believe, vhenan," she said with a smile and a chuckle, knowing full and well she would probably laugh at him if she saw him fall off his board, after making sure he was okay, of course. "Come on, love. Let's do this!" She started to paddle out, "Let's go then, vhenan," she said with a smile over her shoulder, waving for him to follow her.
He smiles as she paddles out. The way she made his heart skip a beat. He followed behind her. He gets next to her, "I’ll let you know when to turn and such, I will be staying on my knees but will help you up and stand right, okay? You ready?" "Ready as I'll ever be," she said with a chuckle as she smiled down at him, her eyes reflecting the shimmering of the ocean. "Maker... Vir, you make it so difficult for me to pay attention to anything other than you. You are absolutely drop-dead gorgeous."
She laughed as she looked back at him. "Feeling is mutual, love," she teased as she waited for the waves to reach them. He took a deep breath. His mind was swimming with thoughts of Ivey and things he needed to do. He yelled over to Ivey, "Okay, here it comes! Turn like before and remember to pop up. You got this, my love! I'll be right next to you!" She followed his instructions and successfully rode out the wave. Once she was done, she paddled back over to him. "That was amazing!!"
He watched her and cheered, "CHEE-HOO!!" When she went back to him, he was awestruck. "A successful shred has got to be my second favorite feeling in the world! You did phenomenal!!" She chuckled as she straddled her board, looking at him. "Oh? What is your favorite feeling then?" she teased with a smirk, her tongue resting against her fang as she studied him. He turned bright red, "You." "Hmm? What was that, love? I don't think I quite heard you?" She teased with a knowing smirk on her lips as she studied him, slowly making her way back to shore.
He turned brighter red and took a deep breath, "YOU! "YOU'RE MY FAVORITE FEELING! THE LOVE I FEEL FOR YOU, THE WAY YOU FEEL IN MY ARMS, THE WAY I GET BUTTERFLIES EVERYTIME YOU LAUGH, THE WAY MY HEART SKIPS WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME!" "YOU! YOU! YOU!" She stopped in her tracks as he spoke, redness quickly covering her face. She did not expect this. After a moment of getting her bearings, she called to him from the shallows. "Then come here! Be with me, hold me, I want to spend the rest of my days in your arms, vhenan."
He stuck his board in the sand and ran to her. Once he got to her, he nearly tackled her to hold her in his arms. He picked her up and kissed her. She squeals in excitement as he lifts her, her arms and legs wrapping around him and holding him close as she kisses him deeply and hungrily, nipping at his lower lip occasionally, her fangs grazing his lip every so often. "Careful, you know where this will get you, right?"
"Hmm, what if I want it to get me there?" she teased as she smirked up at him before dropping her head and kissing his neck, leaving a small trail of love bites in her wake. "What if I want you to ravish me, hmm?" she whispered in his ear as she wrapped her hands in his hair and pulled slightly. He groaned, "Vir, I suggest you either stop until we get inside or I'm taking you right here on this fucking beach!"
She lifted her head and looked him in the eye as she bit her lower lip. "Then I suggest you get us back to the bungalow, vhenan, because I will only get more brazen," she teased as she leaned in and licked a trail up his earlobe. "Fuuucckk, Vir, do not make me set you down. Be a good girl and wait till we are inside!" She dramatically rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine, but only because you asked so nicely," she teased as she caressed his cheek. "Good girl," he kissed her and walked towards the house. "Not for much longer," she teased as she ran her hand across his chest.
They barely entered the house before Oak started undressing Ivey. He set her on the kitchen table, leaning on top of her, kissing her deeply while holding her hips to him. She chuckled as he started undressing her. Her hand on his chest brushed against his piercings to tease him further as she eagerly returned the kiss. He stopped and took a breath, resting his forehead on hers. "Virevadahl, if you want this to end quickly, then please proceed, but if you want me to last longer than 4 minutes, stay away from the nipple rings," he chuckled breathlessly.
"Fair enough. I just wanted to see how you'd react," she admitted with a smirk. "Maybe I should get mine done," she teased as she kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck. He groaned at at thought, "Only if you want." "Well, if it makes them that sensitive, it is certainly an interesting prospect," she continued to tease him, tracing her hands across his chest and his stomach. He groaned her name and snaked his hand between her legs and whispered in her ear, "I am throbbing with want, I want to feel you."
She moaned as she felt his hand. "Then take me, love. I want to feel you too," she whispered into his ear before gently biting his earlobe as she ran her hands up his neck, raking her nails across his skin. He groaned, "Fuucckk, Vir!" He pulled himself out of his pants and pulled her close right to his hips, gasping from the sensation. "You feel heavenly.”
Some time later, they're lying together in Oakley's bed, her head resting on his chest as she lies next to him, her leg curled around his. "Ar lath ma, vhenan," she says quietly. "I love you too, Virevadahl. So much." "I love you more," she sassed with a smile as she leaned in to kiss his cheek. "I love you most!" he grabbed her chin and kissed her softly. She hummed into the kiss, eagerly returning it. "You know, you never did give me an answer on if I should get piercings," she said with a chuckle as she looked up at him with mischief in her eyes, her ears pinning back to reflect her smirk.
"Baby, it's your body. If you want a piercing, let me know. I know a guy. I'll find you beautiful no matter what." "Well, I really want to get my eyebrow done. Part of me always wanted to do something like that, just never knew where to go," she admitted with a chuckle. "Though I am seriously considering getting other piercings." "I think an eyebrow ring would look cute on you," he said, stroking her eyebrow with his thumb. "I can spoil you with jewelry." He chuckled and rubbed her arm. "What other piercings are you thinking?" "My nipples, if I were to get a body piercing, but I don't know. Still considering it," she said as nonchalantly as she could, seeing if she could make him blush again or at least fluster him.
He turns bright red. "If you ever decide to do your nipples, I'll pierce them for you. I don't want my guy to see or touch you like that." he pulls her close, chest to chest. "This is mine!" She let out a small squeak as he pulled her close. "Somehow I knew you would say that," she chuckled. "But, good. I don't want some dude I don't know seeing me like that. I'd rather that sight be saved just for you. I am yours, and only yours, vhenan." She smiled up at him. "Why am I not surprised you know how to do body piercings?" She teased with a small laugh.
"Love, have you seen my face? Of course, I know how to pierce myself! I also make sure the site is nice and numb with ice magic prior to poking. You should know nipple piercings hurt like a bitch! I screamed while getting mine done, but I had sensitive nipples prior to the piercing as well." "Fair enough, I just assumed you had someone do them for you." She couldn't help but laugh at the mental image of him screaming while getting them pierced. "Well, no offense, love, but I think I have a higher pain tolerance than you do. Besides," she gestured to the scars on her face and torso. "Can't be worse than a darkspawn or lightning magic gone awry."
"Mmmm," he gestured towards his neck scar, "but you're probably right." he traced the lightning scar on her body. "I knew this was from lightning magic, but I was unsure how. I didn't want to ask and be rude. The scar I have, Harlowe, is a bit similar, well, the exposed skin areas, I should say, I don't know about the rest. I remember smelling burnt meat. It was awful." "Never be shy about asking about my scars, love. They're part of me, and part of my story. I wear them as badges of honor. It was a sparring bout with another Warden that went wrong. Took a nasty hit to the flank, and it shot up and down my body. I was on bed rest for a while, and all I could taste was iron for like a week after." She chuckled at the memory. "Poor bastard had to contend with Mel after that. She put them in the infirmary in the cot next to mine."
"Yikes! That poor bastard! I would never want to get on Mel's bad side! I hope to never get on her bad side. Though I have a feeling that when I ask for her blessing, she might freeze me." She laughed at the thought. "I don't see her freezing you. Maybe making a toe or two fall off, but that's not very likely," she joked. "Nah, she just wants me to be happy and safe. You've already made a good impression on her. She would never tell you that, but you have." "I know we've discussed going to your tea master, but what type of teas does she like? I wonder if I made a blend specifically for her, if it would be better than buying her tea. Thoughts?"
"The blend we normally get is very citrusy with a mix of herbs like hibiscus and lavender. It's similar to what we would drink with our clan. Something made from the plants around us. You're welcome to make some to see if she would like it. I can always be your taste tester." "Hmm, I have hibiscus flowers here, along with mango and orange trees. I also have some pineapples. Though, unfortunately, I do not have lavender planted here.”
"Lavender is great in teas, even some desserts. I've heard of people putting it in coffee, but that's a stretch too far even for me." "Looks like I'm going to have to plant some!" "I can help if you need it, but you seem to have a pretty green thumb. I will admit, I am impressed by it. Then again, many things about you impress me," she flirted with a wink. "Oh yeah? Well, pretty much everything single thing about you impresses me." he took his thumb and glided it across her bottom lip. She licked his thumb playfully. "Well, I am certainly flattered, vhenan. I'm glad you think so."
He grabs her and pulls her tight against him, "My love, my heart, my everything." She smiles brightly up at him as he pulls her close. "What would I do without you?" She asked him as she lovingly caressed his cheek with her hand. "Still be landlocked and never learn to surf." She huffed a sigh and rolled her eyes as she swatted him. "Smart ass." "Never see the ocean, been out in the sea, watch the stars while on said boat, sex on a boat. Well.. I dunno about that one. You could've had sex in a boat for all I know," he laughed. "Ha ha," she said sarcastically. "Keep it up. You've revealed your weak point to me, love, and I will use it against you, make no mistake," she teased with mischief in her eyes.
He covered his nips and huffed, "How rude of you, Vir! Using a man's weakness against him!" he paused for a second. "I still need to find your weak point." She laughed hard at his dramatics. "Good luck finding it because, unlike you, I will not be freely offering that information," she teased with a smirk, her hands resting over his as he shielded himself from her. He gets real close to her ear and whispers, "Do you not wish for me to pay attention to that area? Either licking, kissing, biting, or sucking? Just imagine." he gently nips her earlobe.
She pulled back to look at him, her eyes wide with desire. "Oh, absolutely, all of the above." She leaned in to whisper into his ear, "But finding it is half the fun." "But if I already knew where it was!" he laughs, then pushes Ivey onto her back in the bed. "We are going to find this spot now.” She gasped with surprise as he pushed her onto the bed, looking up at him with wide eyes. "Be my guest," she teased as she bit her lower lip in anticipation, watching him with a catlike gaze. "I think I deserve a hint. Front or back?"
"Already off to a rocky start, love. It's neither. It's on the sides," she hinted as she smirked up at him. She wanted to see if he could figure out that it was in fact the tips of her ears that were the most sensitive. "Hmm, the side you say?" He rolled her on her side, starting at her ankles, kissing and licking, then moving to her hip, nipping and sucking the flesh. He kissed a trail up over her ribs, fingers delicately dancing along her skin. "Hmm, nothing yet?" "You're getting warmer," she taunted as she watched him work his way up her body, enjoying the sight before her.
"I'm going to try something. Please don't smack me," he bit her wrist, kissed her inner elbow, then pulled her arm in the air and licked her armpit. He chuckled slightly. She furrowed her brows and gave him a look of confusion. "You're lucky I love you," she said dryly as she laughed. "No? Hmm, maybe that person was just into freaky shit." He went to her neck and bit down on her muscle, then kissed it softly with a slight moan. "Ah, I know now." She couldn't help but laugh at his comment. She leaned into his kiss and hummed at the feeling. "Oh, do you, now? You sure? You're close, but not quite there yet, love."
He kissed under her jaw, near her ear. Checking for a reaction. Then he licked the side of her ear; he knew she was always sensitive with her ear. Then it came to him. The tip. He took the tip of her ear in his mouth, rolling it with his tongue and gently nipping it. She all but melted as he took the tip of her ear in his mouth, moaning as her breath caught in her chest. "Creators," she whispered as she did her best not to moan too loudly, her hand coming up to wrap in his hair as her nails scraped against his skin. "Bingo," he took the tip of her other ear in his mouth, his hand rolling the tip of her other ear between his fingers.
"Keep that up and we won't be leaving this bed any time soon," she lightly threatened, her voice barely a whisper. She traced her other hand down his neck, raking her nails against his skin as she arched against him. He rolled her on her stomach, settling in between her legs. He grabbed her hips and brought them to him. He leaned over and gently grabbed Ivey's neck and whispered in her ear, "I don't want to leave this bed anytime soon. Not with you here looking like this." He growled slightly and dug his fingers into her hips. "Vir, please let me enjoy you and please you again?"
She whimpered as he rolled her and grabbed her hips. A shiver ran down her spine as he growled in her ear. "Yes, please, Oakley. You can't wind me up like this and not finish the job," she teased as she looked at him over her shoulder and winked at him. "Oh, but love, I can," he said mischievously, letting her go and sitting back. She turned to face him, a look of disbelief on her face. "Oh? Is that so, vhenan?" she arched her brows, as she fully faced him, sitting back on her heels. "Well, then, two can play that game," she said with a wink as she stood from the bed and brushed her hand against his nipple piercing as she walked passed him and out of the room.
"FUUUCCCKKK! WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! " he got up and ran after him. "I'm sorry, vhenan! Please, come back to bed and let me satisfy you and solely you!" She turned to face him. "Don't play a game of wills with me, love. You will lose," she teased as she pulled him into a searing kiss as she leaned against him. He leaned into the kiss, then gripped her thighs and hoisted her up to his level. He pulled away from the kiss and breathlessly told her, "I lose, you win. You're forever right. Now, may I take my queen back to the bedroom so I can declare my devotion and honor to her?"
"Yes, please do, vhenan. I want you to dominate me, my love. Have you way with me," she told him as she bit her lower lip as she looked at him, her eyes full of want and need. "Understood," he brought her to the room and set her on the bed. He goes into his dresser and pulls out silk ropes. "Too much?" "Not at all," she looked at him, impressed. "Why am I not surprised you just had those handy?" she teased with a smirk. He walks over to Vir and gets down to her level. "Because I'm a bit of a bedroom freak?" he laughed.
She laughed too. "Fair point, but I'm not complaining. It's just my speed," she gave him another wink as she bit the corner of her lower lip and studied him. He took the ropes and tied her feet to and secured them to the bedpost, then tied her wrists together. And put them over her head. He growled and nipped the tip of her ear. Then moved down between her legs, biting her inner thighs. Then whispered, "My queen," before he thoroughly satisfied her and declared his devotion and honor.
