Loving Asryn Lavellen as he did, and having her love in return meant that Solas saw many sides to the Dalish Inquisitor that very few in her inner circle even knew about. He knew her tendency to spend an extravagant amount of time hiding sweet snacks for all her friends in their rooms. He knew just how relaxed she could be after burning too much elfroot. He knew that she had a penchant for feeding the tuskets they saw when out on a mission and most of all, he saw Lavellen when she let her full guard drop alone in her tower. Asryn Lavellen was a cuddler. Her bed was covered with pillows and he knew she carried a pillow in the bottom of her pack for when they were away and sleeping on the ground. When she latched onto something, or someone, she would not let go. Solas was always happy to oblige her in the need for skin on skin contact. But sometimes he wished she wasn't quite so strong.

Spent, Solas tried to shift off the elvhen woman beneath him, slowly pulling himself out. Lavellen was having none of that though, as she usually did, and tightened the grip of her thighs around his waist, trying to pull him closer. She made a small whining noise and gently ran her nails up his spine, making Solas twitch and gently grind into his little elf once again.

"Ma vhenan...We must get up." Lavellen shook her head, burying her face into the crook of his neck and planting soft lipped kisses.

"Aren't I the leader of this whole mess? Doesn't that mean I get to stay in bed for a little while longer? I just don't want you to go yet." Solas could feel his heart break at her tiny voice but knew she was only trying to make their moment last. Pushing up onto his forearms, Solas looked down on the woman beneath him. Her pale face clear of vallaslin, and her eyes, filled with that icy, undeniable, blue love, he couldn't help but give a grudging smile and let her hook her arms around his neck. She was an indomitable creature, her love so fierce and unending he had never stood a chance of leaving her. His long fingers caressed her cheek and Lavellen hummed with a smile, leaning into his touch.

"You make it impossible to leave you, my heart."

Lavellen searched his gaze with a widening smile.

"And you make it impossible for me to let you go." Solas smiled and pressed a chaste kiss against those plump, slightly swollen, lips, feeling his heart swell at the silken voice.

"I love you, ma vhenan."

Soft hand slid around the back of his neck, cupping it and pulling him down so Asryn could claim his lips. As she kissed him deeply, having him inside her twice over, she murmured gently against his lips.

"And I love you ma fen."

Solas growled as the Elven rolled from her tongue to his. Her other hand grazed nails down his side, making his lower half twitch and grow once again still buried deep inside his heart mate. He ground down on her hips, and released her mouth for a moment, grabbing those traitorous hands in one of his and pinning them above her head. Bowing over her again he claimed her mouth and ravaged it, using his free hand to roam his love's chest, pinching and rolling a nipple between those dexterous fingers. Lavellen became pliant under his attentions and let him dominate her again. Let him because Solas knew well enough that whilst his elven beauty was always happy to be loved, she very much enjoyed taking him as much as he took her, a fight she would wage when she felt the need, and a fight she always won. Solas pulled away to find a feral grin on his heart's face. What had he done? His need clouded his thoughts and he wrestled in his mind to discover the reason for her grin.

Asryn rocked her hips up to him again and Solas could think of nothing better than pulling out and burying his mouth into the wet arousal that clenched around his member. Surely that would wipe the wicked grin off her face. So he did. He released her hands and kissed his way down the planes of her chests, between the curve of her breasts and to the center of her thighs where she leaked salty warmth from their previous act. With firm fingers he grasped her hips and held her against his mouth.

Ice blue and lilac met, and the grin turned to a gasp as Solas sternly gave her a tongue lashing.

When Lavellen was once again spent, Solas having emptied himself inside his heart once more, she lay one top of him, tucked into his warmth and lazily kissed his neck. He felt that wicked grin return as she nipped his neck, snuggling close and finally, with his thoughts clear he realised what had happened.

She'd tricked him once again. They had missed the ambassador's morning meeting. All from Lavellen's need of snuggling.
