Tumblr Prompt: "Have you seen my...oh!" - for Shepard-vas-Thedas

Thank you to the lovely Mordinette for always beta-ing for me! You're amazing!

"Have You Seen My...Oh!"

"What time are you meeting Kolyat?" Kaelyn asked as she stepped up behind her husband, wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing a kiss into his bare shoulder.

Thane smiled, enjoying the warmth of her body against his. "Four. I was just about to have a shower." He gestured to the clothes he had laid out on the bed. He turned in her arms, enveloping her with his own. "Join me?"

A soft sound of approval escaped her, but she pulled back with a regretful sigh. "As tempting as that offer is, I probably shouldn't." She grinned, standing on the tips of her toes at the same time as she reached a hand up to the back of his head to draw him down enough to press a soft kiss to his forehead. "I don't want to distract you."

"A fair point." The drell chuckled as he stepped back, turning to head towards the bathroom. "You are always distracting, siha."

Fifteen minutes later, Thane reluctantly shut off the hot water, a triumphant grin on his face. He was still not used to the fact that he could indulge himself in such an activity; the steam no longer painful to his lungs, but soothing.

Grabbing a towel from the rack, he quickly dried off before wrapping the soft cloth around his waist and exiting to the bedroom to dress. He stopped short when he realized that his shirt was missing.

Raising a brow ridge, he padded out into the hallway. Perhaps she had taken it to iron out any wrinkles. "Siha?"

"In here," she called back, her voice coming from the direction of the kitchen.

"Siha, have you seen my – Oh."

Kaelyn was sitting on the edge of the kitchen table, legs crossed at the knees, and wearing the very shirt he was looking for – and not much else. Thane's dark eyes drank in her appearance; her chestnut colored hair slightly dishevelled, a coy little smile playing on her lips even as a pretty pink blush colored her cheeks.

The sleeves were far too long for her and she had been forced to roll them up to her elbows. The hemline was just long enough to keep her modest, and was offering him a tempting view of her nicely toned legs.

Her lips quirked up in a pleased smile as he regarded her. "Lose something, Krios?"

The drell made his way over to her slowly, fingertips itching to touch every inch of that exposed skin. "Around you, siha? Always."

Reaching her, he couldn't stop himself from burying his face in the crook of her neck, one hand finding the curve of her hip as the other traced a slow path up her smooth calf. "Not that you don't look entirely too tempting in my clothes, but what happened to not wanting to distract me?"

Kaelyn ran feather-light touches up the length of his arms to cup the back of his head. "It was wrinkled, so I ironed it." She paused, her voice lowering an octave. "And maybe I just wanted to give you the motivation not to stay out too long."

Thane chuckled against her neck, and he felt with no small amount of satisfaction as a small tremor ran through her as he trailed his lips slowly up her jawline to her mouth. "You have my word," he breathed, just before claiming hers in a heated kiss.

When she finally pulled back, she gave him a knowing smile. "You're going to be late. Kolyat is going to worry if you don't leave soon."

He scoffed and leaned in for another kiss. "Kolyat is a man now, I'm sure he'll understand."

Kaelyn rolled her eyes and laughed as she gave a half-hearted push to his chest. "You are not making your son wait just so you can feel up your wife," she chastised as she hopped down from the table.

The drell gave an uncharacteristic pout, crossing his arms across his chest. "You started it, siha."

Rolling her eyes, she pushed past him. "Well, you will just have to wait until you get home to finish it. Now go finish getting ready."

"But you still have my–"

He was promptly cut off by something soft hitting him directly in the face. He removed it quickly, glancing up to see the retreating bare back of his siha heading towards their bedroom, an exaggerated sway in her hips. She threw him a wink over her shoulder. "It will need to be ironed again. You wrinkled it."
