"You've a fever." She says it decisively, taking her hand off his forehead. She's worried about him, but not quite to fretting yet. Caring for people is kind of her thing, and he is her lover. He's more deserving of her caring and fussing than anyone.
"How's the rest of you? Stomach all right?"
"How's the rest of you? Stomach all right?"

He pulls his face away just a bit to pant out his breaths against her cheek, his nose grazing the skin there.
"I missed this."
no subject
"I did too." Her voice is low and husky, but they're so close he'll absolutely hear. "I'm glad you're feeling better."

And she feels like she'd been positively deprived these last days, now that his mouth is on hers and his hands touching her in ways that make her skin get warm and sensitive. Even with fabric between them, his touch elicits a soft, needy moan from her, like he's been away from her for years instead of days.
She's in the midst of laying back, to give him, and herself, more access to touch and reacquaint, when she realizes what she's doing. She ends up paused, on one elbow, other hand having snuck around his shoulders to keep him with her. "S-sorry...I'm getting carried away. You must be hungry."
She's trying her best to think of him, except that's exactly what she was already doing, so it's difficult to stop. Even the way she says it sounds like she's not really behind the idea of stopping yet.
no subject
"We're both getting carried enough that I'm hungry in more than one way."
He pulls back enough so that he's crouching by the bed, his eyes lit up mischievously.
"What if we postpone this until after I've eaten and bathed?"
no subject
"That sounds like a good idea. I can put the linens in the wash in the mean time. Air the room out a little." Maybe bathe herself and comb her hair. Being rumpled from sleep doesn't make her feel the most attractive, and she wants very much to be pretty for him just now.
no subject
"I'll go pee and then eat. Tell me if you want any. I might eat it all up."
And he gives her a peck before pulling on his shirt and hurrying to the bathroom. Then he'll go make himself something quick since he's starving.
no subject
Once she vents out her frustration into the pillow, she gets up and strips the bed. She takes the linens, and Arthur's pile of clothes to the wash room and sets them in the machines to clean. Then she replaces the bedclothes with fresh ones and decides to wash off quickly herself.
By the time she's at the showers, Arthur is clearly gone, likely already eating. She bathes quickly, and hurries back to her quarters to dry, so she can change.
no subject
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), he opens the door without knocking, and hey, she just about has that shirt past her breasts and-
"Oh shit." He looks away quickly, his cheeks getting warm. "I, uh... sorry. I was just looking for some pants."
no subject
She's as red faced as he is, and reaches out and touches his shoulder gently. "It's alright. I'm decent now."
She's only a third dressed, but it's enough that he won't see anything unseemly if he looks at her.
no subject
He reaches out to touch her cheek, his other hand stuttering before it lands on her hip.
"You-... I've never seen so much of you before." He smiles, laughing self-consciously. "I didn't mean to invade your privacy, but I have to admit... it was a nice sight."
no subject
"I...suppose it was bound to happen...we've been sharing a bed for a while now..." She was naked in front of a man. She was naked in front of Arthur. He didn't mind it, but still, she wonders if she was actually pleasing.
no subject
He's deeply serious, and seriously about to tear those clothes right back off of her. He shakes his head and laughs, his voice strained.
"You have no idea how much you affect me."
no subject
He tells her not to be shy, and calls her beautiful, knowing full well that she is shy and is still trying to learn to accept it when he compliments her. But she affects him? That stirs her courage, because he certainly affects her. She gives him her eyes, words rushing out in a husky exhale.
"Tell me."
no subject
He's leaning closer, his lips hovering over hers. "I want to kiss you. I think I'm addicted to it. And I... I want..." He pushes his lips onto hers, a hint of desperation in the kiss.
no subject
When he kisses her, she's right there with him, on the same level of desperate need. Her arms slip around him, pressing her body up against his. She yields and demands all at once. She wants just as much as he does. She needs...
"Yes..." She says it against his lips, between gasps of air and plunging back in. "...yes Arthur...anything you want."
no subject
"I want you," he breathes against her cheek. He's so close to saying something else, something close to that. "Syeira..."
He kisses every part of her he can reach, desperate to feel her.
no subject
"I'm yours," she pants along the line of his throat, between hot kisses that are anything but hesitant or shy. Her instincts tell her to nip at him, taste him with her tongue, find a spot and suck until it turns red and leaves a mark. She supposes that's plain enough evidence. She's decided.
She lifts her head from the curve of his throat, bringing a hand to slide behind his neck, into his hair, and hold him so she can meet his eyes. So he can see she means what she's going to say.
"I'm ready."
no subject
He practically leaps on her, commandeering her mouth and kissing her hard, pushing for entrance with his tongue. He backs her up, heading for the bed, and pushes up the skirt-ish part of her tunic, trying to get his hands to some skin.
no subject
There's plenty of skin to find. She's not wearing anything under her tunic, as he well knows. Syeira wants to feel him too, her hands busy tugging open the buttons on his shirt roughly. Some buttons might be sacrificed for the greater good of getting the shirt off him.
no subject
Anddddd we're back to making out. He seems to be losing this battle of whose shirt should be off first, so he abandons her tunic to help her push off his shirt. He's bare underneath. But then he wants her tunic off, and he tugs it over her head, her red hair falling to her shoulders and her bare torso revealed to him. "God, you're beautiful," he sighs before he takes her in his arms and kisses her.
no subject
He pulls the tunic off over her head, and she has to lift her arms and let it happen, so she's completely naked in a small handful of seconds. The blush that starts gets interrupted when he pulls her close and kisses her again. She doesn't have time to get bashful.
Her breasts press against his chest, and it causes her to gasp against his mouth. This is a first. He's touched her before but only over her shift. This is skin on skin and it's a shock. She almost takes a step back, to think, to process, but the bed is there, and instead she has to sit, a little inelegantly.
no subject
But he's worrying. He sits beside her brings her face to his, kisses her lips in a peck before nipping at her bottom lip. "Are you okay? Is this... okay?"
no subject
His kiss, with that little nip makes her blink. "I- yes. This is fine. I'm fine. Hoooh wow." Her eyes keep darting back and forth between his face and that part of him that she'd never seen before. He's her first fully naked man.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to overwhelm you."
