Sheena stretched the bow taught and released, the twang of it hitting the target made her smile. She was getting better, not only could she hit an ogre half way across a field, she was pretty sure her keeper would be proud of how far her hunting had come. Baby Q was going to be well fed when she got old enough.
Her last letter to Sten was answered this morning. "Kadan, I am sorry that I left you alone. I have been trying to find out more about Elven/Qunari pregnancies, but beyond rumors and speculation I have come up empty. I am sure our child is strong, and her mother is determined, I hope she is like you. I wish I could be there to rub your rounded stomach and kiss your thighs, The Tamassran's do their best, but no Qunari woman will ever match you. I miss you Kadan, ~Sten."
Sheena read the letter and cried, and laughed, and then wanted nothing more than to find someone to ride until she forgot why she was crying. Instead she worked at aiming this damned bow. Nathaniel said it was not natural for a woman to want sex as often as she did. Obviously it had been too long for him because… "Damn it, the arrow went to the left."
"You were doing so well, what happened?" Nathaniel came up behind her and realigned her hips and shoulders. "Relax Commander, pull like this." He reminded her as he put his arms around her. Sheena forgot to breathe as his lips hovered near her ear.
Sheena leaned into him, he had all but shoved her away in the past, the pregnant Elvan whore that killed his father, and she could not stop her physical response to his presence. "Do you still hate me?" Sheena asked as she pressed her bottom in to his groin.
"My Lady," Nathaniel's voice went horse as his lips skimmed her ear. "You should not tempt me like this." His words said one thing but his breath caressed her skin as his lips hovered over her neck.
"Why? We are both adults, unattached adults." Sheena rubbed her bottom into his groin and he moaned. Sheena smiled as she felt his erection grow.
"I am not quite sure I remember," Nathaniel admitted his lips meeting the side of her neck. Her grip on the bow relaxed as did his and it fell on the ground harmless.
Sheena shivered as Nathaniel's lips kissed her ear. He turned her around and pulled her close. Their first kiss dripped with need, their lips met and Sheena willed herself to focus only on him, but her mind wandered to the day at the waterfall. The handsome archer had seemed almost carefree as traveled home to check on his father. Now just a few months later he was in her arms, his lips soft and eager against her lips. She nipped at his lower lip as she rubbed up against Nathaniel.
A groan and Nathaniel pulled away, "I am sorry My Lady, I was raised better than this, I should go."
"Don't you want to continue? Nathaniel, please don't go." Sheena asked as he walked away.
"I should not continue, it is for the best." Nathaniel said over his shoulder.
Frustrated Sheena picked up her bow and put them away. She was not paying attention when she ran into a solid form. "Anders, I am so sorry."
"What did you do to Nathaniel?" Anders asked with a knowing smile. "He pulled four buckets of water from the well and dumped them over his head."
Anders smirked. "You know if you have needs, I would be happy to take care of them, you did not seem unhappy with my skills in Denerim."
"Anders you always know what to say to a girl," Sheena ran a finger down his chest and found his shaft hard through his robes. "Do you always come this interested?"
"Sheena, please stop teasing." He moaned as she traced the tip over and over.
"Are you sure? King Alistair is a big fan of my work." Sheena grinned.
Anders moaned and pressed into her hand before opening his eyes. "You got a letter from Sten." He groaned as he pulled away. "Pregnancy hormones and a letter from Sten, Maker's Ass Sheena do you want to talk?"
"I am sorry Ander's, not right now." Sheena turned and walked up the stairs. At the top of the stairs was Nathaniel's room, she took out her lock pick and deftly snuck in the room. He was tidy, this room was not his childhood room, it was too difficult he said. Instead he took a guest room Sigrun took his room and had found broken toys under the bed.
Sheena smiled and took off her clothing. Climbing onto the bed she leaned back against the head board. He had seen her naked before, she wondered if he remembered what she looked like that day or if he was more intimidated by Sten's large cock to see her.
Changing her mind she found one of his shirts and slipped it over her head and got back on the bed. She smiled as she made herself comfortable and waited for Nathaniel. It did not take long for him to walk through the door, he was soaking wet and jumped when he noticed her on his bed.
"Andraste's Ass, what are you doing here?" Nathaniel asked as he shut the door.
"I did not think you would mind, I wanted to talk to you." Sheena stretched unashamed of her need and more than willing to seduce Nathaniel. The neckline of his shirt dipped low and exposed a breast.
"You needed to talk wearing my shirt?" Nathaniel asked shivering his wet clothing making him cold.
"You have more," Sheena laughed and found her way to the foot of his bed, her hand reached for his pants.
"Commander, this is not a good idea." Nathaniel said but did not move away.
"You only call me that when you are saying no Nathaniel. Does it help remind you of my rank? I have been a Grey Warden under two years. If it were not for the blight I would be the same rank as you." Sheena started undoing his pants. "Besides, what kind of Commander lets her best archer catch a chill from being in wet clothing?"
"You do have a point, but I am sure I could warm up on my own." Nathaniel admitted as he took off his shirt.
"Did you know skin to skin contact is the best way to warm up if you are cold?" Sheena grinned as she realized she was going to get what she wanted.
"Sheena, why do you want to sleep with me so badly? Is it some apology for killing my father?" Nathaniel asked still wearing the cold wet pants, his shirt was gone and his chest was covered with goose bumps, his nipples were pearled up as he shivered.
"Do I seem like the type that gives pity sex? I want you because you are attractive." Sheena tugged at the side of his pants and they fell to his ankles. "Come on let's get you warmed up." She laughed and pulled the shirt she was wearing off.
"Are you sure about this My Lady?" Nathaniel asked as she led him to the bed.
"How about this, for now, let's just focus on getting you warm, we will both be naked under the blankets, but we are both adults, I am sure you have enough self-control to have a naked woman pressed up against you without going too far." Sheena offered as a solution to his worry.
Sheena climbed between the sheets and Nathaniel followed. When he got settled she put her body over his. His skin made hers tingle with how cold it was. "Did the water help make you forget kissing me?" She asked her head rested on his shoulder as his shivering slowly stopped.
"No." Nathaniel admitted. "That day at the waterfall, you were happy?"
"Yes, Sten made me happy." Sheena sighed. "Am I hurting you? I forget I weigh more than usual."
"You are warm, Maker's Breath. You were right, I did not realize how cold the river was until I walked through it." Nathaniel's arms curled around her making her flinch as she realized how cold he still was compared to her back.
"Did you really have a history with King Alistair?" Nathaniel asked.
"Before he was King, it does not matter now he is married." Sheena buried her head into his shoulder she did not want to talk anymore.
"And now you want me?" Nathaniel gasped as she rolled her hips against him.
"Yes," Sheena moaned as he finally made a move rolling them over so she was on the bottom. Her legs spread, and he rested between them.
"I remember seeing you that day, I did not know if I should rescue you or wish you luck." Nathaniel admitted as he leaned in and kissed her. His mouth was demanding for the first time that day. He angled himself up and wasted no time finding her heat with his now hard cock. He slid into her and returned down to kiss her.
"Do you really want to talk while we have sex?" Sheena moaned between kisses.
"No," Nathaniel's lips traveled across her neckline and back to her lips. It had been a long while since she had someone make love to her, not just hot sweaty sex, he took his time with every thrust calculating and controlled.
He made love like Alistair before the Archdemon, before the Landsmeet, like Alistair did when he thought her body was precious. She moaned as he pushed himself up to his knees and pulled her body up to his, her bottom rested on the top of his thighs and he slid back together with her.
Sheena arched her back as he controlled her hips, Nathaniel seemed to be happy gripping her hips and sliding in and out, he moaned as he watched her playing with her nipples, his long black hair draped down over his shoulders as he slid in his balls hitting her bottom and then slid back out
With a grunt he pulled her up so she was now sitting on him. Despite that he was still in control, he held her hips still as he thrust into her. A shaky breath let her know he was as close as she was to completion. When he finally released her hips to do as she pleased Sheena leaned in and rode Nathaniel, her body found release as his lips found hers.
Nathaniel's body shook as he joined her, he growled in her ear as his body tensed up and then relaxed. He pressed against her as he controlled their decent back to the bed. Both of them stared at the ceiling sweaty and content after he rolled off her.
"That was definitely a good idea." Nathaniel laughed.
"I agree" Sheena sighed with a smile.
"I was not too rough?" Nathaniel checked.
"Never, it was wonderful." Sheena turned toward him and put her head on his outstretched arm. "I should leave."
"No stay, if you don't want to have sex again we can sleep, but there is no point trying to find your clothes." Nathaniel said not realizing she had folded them into his chair, and she planned on taking his long shirt she wore earlier. She would have to pluck out his name that someone carefully added to the seam.
"You make a great point." Sheena giggled and then added. "Sten was jealous of you; I told him you were handsome for human standards."
"You told your seven foot tall boyfriend that I was good looking?" Nathaniel chuckled. "And yet I still live?"
"He liked it when I looked at anyone other than Alistair, we knew he had to leave, he wanted me to be happy, besides we had sex before and after." Sheena rolled so her back was to Nathaniel and he rolled to spoon her.
"Are you always so honest about your sex life?" Nathaniel asked.
"Yes," Sheena said. "I find it easier than holding back."
"And if they ask about me, your future lovers?" Nathaniel whispered in her ear.
"Mmm the man I had to seduce, you made it hard work." Sheena smiled and felt her eyes grow heavy.
Nathaniel chuckled against her hair. "Maybe I don't want to know what you would tell someone else."
"Only good stuff, I promise." Sheena managed to say, she heard him mumble a response and fell asleep.
Sheena woke as Nathaniel climbed back into bed, he was holding his shirt, the one she was going to take, and handed it to her. "You were cold and mumbling in your sleep, put it on and we can go back to sleep."
Sheena slipped the shirt over her head and found his outstretched arm. She put her head down and listened to Nathaniel's heartbeat, he kissed the top of her head and she sighed. "Thank you."
"For what, for giving you a shirt, you were shivering." Nathaniel shrugged sleepy.
"Mm I am not anymore so thank you." Sheena chuckled and settled listening to Nathaniel's heart until she drifted off once more.
When the morning came she found herself still in the arms of Nathaniel and smiled at him, he was already awake. He kissed her head. "We have mission planning to do, let's get some breakfast and join the others."
"They might talk." Sheena admitted.
"Let them, go change." Nathaniel grinned as she walked through the door wearing only his shirt. "See you downstairs."
Sheena smiled as she made her way to her room and then down to the breakfast buffet, she made herself a bowl of oatmeal and fruit before telling everyone the plan. They were to go on a mission to find out who was attacking the caravans in the Wending Woods. She would take Oghren, Nathaniel, and Anders. Sigrun needed a little more time to rest after her joining and was glad to stay back and read. With the trip planned everyone went to pack for the next day.
