Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin (if I did, you'd be the first to know (actually you wouldn't cuz I don't know you. I lied))
Warning: This one is a little more graphic than the last but it's still T rated. I think.
Takes place the morning after the last chapter.
Arthur sighed in contentment as he awoke next to his lover. He shifted closer to Merlin, causing Merlin, who was apparently awake, to roll over and face Arthur, their foreheads touching as they snuggled together under the covers.
"What're you thinking about?" Merlin asked, still groggy from sleep but still knowing his love well enough to notice when Arthur was contemplating something.
An evil grin split Arthur's face. "Oh you know, just thinking up a punishment for your actions yesterday."
"Just because I didn't tell you it was Saturday until you were fully ready to leave?" Merlin whined.
"Yep"
"I'm not going to like this am I?" Merlin withered, pulling his face away from Arthur, trying to get a better look at him without going cross-eyed.
"Nope," and with that, Arthur rolled until he was topping Merlin, Arthur supporting his own weight by his forearms, hands resting on either side of Merlin's head. Arthur lowered himself until his lips found what they were seeking, Merlin's lips.
At first the kiss was soft, sweet, but it soon deepened as each man breathed each other in. Arthur's mouth demanded dominance and Merlin's submitted, their tongues ravishing each other's mouths. And just as Merlin let out a low moan of pleasure- Arthur pulled away breaking the kiss and leaving both men breathless.
Merlin's hands, which had found their way into Arthur's flaxen hair, released and fell to their owner's side. In the moments of silence which followed with both men silently catching their breaths, Arthur made no attempt to continue.
"You're stopping?" Merlin's tone was of disbelief. "At that?"
"Punishment," Arthur whispered, taking in his lover's wide blue eyes and wet, red lips. It had taken more self-control than he'd imagined to pull himself away. "Now I'm going to fix up and go grocery shopping while you sit here and think about your actions."
Merlin pouted but staring up into his love's light blue eyes, he could still see the lobe, passion, desire, and overall lust. Merlin felt a smile on his lips. Arthur just needed a little push in the right direction.
Merlin turned his head toward where Arthur's left arm still supported him and Merlin began to leave a trail of very wet kisses up Arthur's arm while at the same time, Merlin's left hand trailed up his loves perfectly sculpted abs. Arthur trembled beneath Merlin's fingers. His self-control was cracking-no shattering.
By the time Merlin's mouth reached Arthur's, he was a puddle, a great big Merlin induced, melted puddle of desire. So the hell with self-control, he leaned into Merlin, authoritatively taking his love's mouth again, and they continued.
Merlin(O.O)Arthur
Hours later, Arthur sighed once more. He and Merlin were lying in bed, posture similar to before, their faces close together, foreheads almost touching.
"I'm going to have to think up a new punishment," Arthur grumbled, slightly angry at his own lack of self-control.
"Or you could, you know," Merlin's deep blue eyes blinked innocently. "Punish me again?" And Arthur was a puddle again. A great big Merlin induced, totally handsome, completely insatiable, puddle of desire.
And so, many, many hours later, Arthur finally got around to buying the groceries. Merlin tagged along happily. And when they fell asleep in each other's arms that night, both lovers silently wondered what tomorrow's morning might bring, because if it was anything like it normally is, it would be great.
And so, that's it, at least, that's all I have right now. I'm not going to call this "completed" because I might add to it later on but this chapter was written to be a closer of sorts. So, that's all folks. For now.
