A/N I do not own any of these wonderful characters, they all belong to Sarah J. Maas and her wonderful world. I just merely am spinning the characters into a new world. Thanks so much for reading.
Rowan's POV
"Are you ready yet?" I hear Aelin question from somewhere in our room. "Of course," I say groggily as I bring my face up from the pillow, "I was just having a nap as I waited for y-" I stop as my eyes rest on Aelin, her hair is tied back in a braid and she is wearing tight black and pink leggings and a dark black sports bra, not leaving much to my imagination. I slowly take in her form and feel my mouth become slightly unhinged. "If your done staring," she says, snapping me out of my trance, "i'd appreciate if you would get the hell outta bed so we can go to the gym." Aelin then bends down to tie her shoes, giving me an excellent view of her ass and I hear a growl come from deep in my chest. "Not dressed like that" I argue as I slowly peel myself out of bed. She finishes tying her shoes and stands up, I wrap my arms around her from behind and plant a trail of kisses down her kneck. "You'll just have to fend off all boys I guess..." she says as she leans back against my chest. "Oh, shut up," I laugh into her neck before lightly shoving her, she giggles before moving to shove me back, but I dodge her and pick her up, throwing her over my shoulder and taking off down the hall.
Aelin's POV
"Rowannnn," I yell before slipping into a long string of giggles, I try to squirm my way free but he holds fast. I start lightly pounding on his back and kicking my feet, he laughs and I feel the vibrations throughout my body. "Please," I say as we near the entrance to the little gym that connects to our apartment building (there's almost never anyone in it but still, its embarrassing to have your boyfriend carry you in like a sack of potatoes.) He stops walking and I can hear the smirk on his face when he says "what's in it for me?" I smack him and laugh "I'll let you win if we spar," I suggest. Rowan only snorts in reply, "fine, you'll get your reward later," I whisper in his ear while running my hands down his back. He shivers and lets me down, I start to turn to walk into the gym but he keeps his hands on my hips. "And what exactly," he whispers, leaning down so I can feel his warm breath on my ear, "is my reward going to be?" I put my arms around his neck and pull him down so my face is right beside his ear. "You'll just have to wait and see," I whispered, I quickly bite his ear lobe, making him growl and tighten his hands on my waist, then turn and walk into the gym, trailing my hand down his chest as I leave him behind, completely flustered in the hall. Today's training is going to be fun, I think with a smirk as I push the gym doors open.
Rowan's POV
I follow Aelin like a man on a drug, keeping my eyes on her swaying hips until she disappears in to the gym. I try desperately to collect myself before I enter the gym doors. I finally enter the gym to find Aelin in the empty room surrounded by unused workout machines sitting on the blue carpet. She's already started stretching so i join her, after a few minutes of stretching out all the muscles and tendons we could we start training. I start with push-ups, like I always do, and Aelin goes to do whatever she normally does. I fall into the rhythm of the workout and it gets my head out of... well Aelin- until a pair of small but strong hands wrap around my neck and I feel the extra weight of Aelin lying on my back. I grunt from the effort but continue my push-ups. Aelin moves her hands down my arms and squeezes my biceps while slowly kissing down my neck "Aelin," I whisper, using what shred of will-power I have and continuing my push-ups. "Mmmhh" she murmurs into my neck as she moves her hands back up my arms and down my stomach, pulling the hem of my shirt up-trying to get it off. "We should uh, probably start our, um," I stutter as her hands keep roaming my body, having abandoned my shirt, "training," I finish with some effort. "As you wish," she whispers onto my skin. I can feel her smiling as she gets off my back as I stay in plank position. I slowly get up to find Aelin smiling at me. "What?" I ask, not sure I want to know the answer. "I see your friend has come to join us" she says, looking south. I look at my semi and say a string of curses in my head. When I look up Aelin is sauntering over to me "I was thinking," she says as she nears me, "since we're all warmed up," she smirks eyeing my crotch, "we could spar for a bit." "hmm?" I hum as she gets to me, I wrap my arms around her waist as I say "interesting choice." Our forheads touch and she wraps her arms around my neck, "why's that?" she questions, "because, I always beat you." I say smirking. "we'll see," Aelin smiles and stands on her tiptoes and kisses me. I find a smile on my face too, and lean in.
