Chapter 11

Merlin kept kissing Mordred for all that she was worth. She blew the connection between their magic wide open so he could feel all that she was feeling. All the happiness she felt at hearing Arthur talking about repealing the ban, even if on a trial basis.

"So I am guessing that you have some good news?"

Merlin pulled her head back so she could look at him. He had a small smile playing on his lips. Merlin had to fight the urge to lick it off.

"Let me hear what has you in such a happy mood. Is he going to repeal the law?"

"Well, he wants to make it a trial run at first, to see if it could work. I think that it is a great idea to do it that way, to see how people react to it."

Mordred kissed her gently and said to her,

"You are making your destiny come true. Let us just work on making sure that mine doesn't."

Merlin smiled reassuringly at him. They might not be able to be free until it was not just a trial run anymore, but they were so close that she could almost feel it in the air, the anticipation and the feeling of something new. Merlin could not even explain it to herself but she could feel the change before it came. The very ground under the Citadel sang with it.

"The only thing about it is: it would probably be best if we wait till the trial period is over before we tell Arthur about us having magic. If it turns out that the people need it to be done in another way, other than just removing the ban we can´t afford for them to look at us with fear and uncertainty. We need to stand at Arthur´s side."

Mordred sighed and let Merlin´s legs drop to the floor. Merlin let her arms rest on his shoulders as she stood in front of him, his hands came to rest on her waist.

"I know. But I can´t help but long for the day when we can be who we are."

"I know but we have to wait until the time is right. Until then the best we can do is be patient and try to make sure that Arthur doesn´t change his mind about magic. He said that he still doesn't trust it. That will be our job, making sure that he knows that it can be trusted."

"Merlin?"

"Yes?"

"Shut up about Arthur for now."

She was about to ask him why when she noticed the look in his eyes. All of the sudden she did not feel like talking about Arthur anymore, when the look he gave her talked about raw passion and lust. Her whole world narrowed to only him, like she was used to. It felt normal to her that every time he looked at her like that, nothing else mattered.

She loved how he could be so tender that she wanted to cry. And she loved how she could give up all control to him. She was used to being in control of herself so it felt liberating to just let him guide her, to have him tell her what he wanted and needed. Most often, she needed it to.

He turned her around in his arms so her back was to his front. She had her arms hanging loose at her sides as she had to wait to find out what mood he was in. She hoped that he did not have all too gentle in mind. She loved when he was gentle with her but she also loved when he was demanding and forceful.

Tonight she felt like being reassured that he wanted her and somehow she felt that best when he lost control with her. It felt like he wanted her so much that he could not bear the thought of not being with her. It felt like he had to prove to himself that he was the only one who had her. She let him take out all of his frustration on and in her. He never really hurt her more than she could take, and she loved it. Loved how strong he was.

She soon got her answer when his arms tightened around her so much that is almost hurt. One of his hands trailed up her body and grabbed her around the neck. His thumb turned her head to him so he could kiss her hard. He broke the kiss off just before the angle of her craned neck became painful. He trailed kisses down her neck.

He stepped away from her and she could hear him getting comfortable on his bed. She felt the anticipation rise in her as she stood waiting for him to say something, anything. She did not have to wait long.

"Emrys turn around and face me."

She felt a shiver run up her spine at the command in his voice, like he was daring her to disobey, but why would she disobey when all she could think about was him and how to please him? She turned around slowly to see him propped up against the headboard. He had his legs out in front of him with on angle over the other the other, one arm was behind his head while the other lay on his abdomen.

"Good girl. Now bend over and take off your socks and boots."

His choice of words told her that she was not allowed to bend the knee to make it easier. And so she bent over so her bottom was in the air while she untied her boots and placed them beside her with her socks sticking out the top. She rose back up again, but not too fast as that would ruin it.

"Now take off the jacket Merlin."

Her right hand went to her left shoulder and pushed the fabric slowly down her arm, before she did the same on the other side. Mordred´s eyes followed her every move with a predatory glint in them. She smiled a little at him with an eyebrow raised in a way to ask him what next.

"Don't be cheeky Merlin. This is my show and I am in control. Take off the trousers. We are not in the woods anymore so you have no reason to wear them, no matter how good they make your ass look. There is no one who is allowed to look at you this way but me."

Merlin felt her cheeks blush a little at the praise, she was used to the way he would sometimes talk to her when the mood hit him. But it could still make her cheeks light up like a Camelot cape in the sun. Merlin´s hands went to the laces in her trousers and untied them; she wriggled her hips a bit so they first slid down one leg and then the other.

She bent over as she wriggled her feet out of the legs of the trousers. As she pushed the trousers to the side she was very aware of Mordred´s eyes on her. If she stood just right he would be able to see her chest in the neckline that followed the pull of gravity, if her neckerchief would just stop falling in the way all the time.

"Turn around Merlin, and take your undergarments off too."

Merlin felt the heat rise to her cheeks once more but did as he demanded of her. She turned so her back was to him while she was still bending over, her hands glided up the back of her legs and under the hem of her skirt. Her undergarments were luckily so loose at the waist that they could be pulled down with minimal effort.

But even if that were the case she still wriggled her hips as she pulled them down, the wriggling and her position caused her shirt to show her bottom and core off to Mordred who groaned as he inhaled. She looked over her shoulder at him with a seductive smile.

"Merlin, come here."

Mordred told her with a slightly hoarse voice. Merlin rose to a standing position and walked over to him with her hips swinging slightly from side to side. A smirk formed on her lips at the tent she could see in his trousers. When she reached the end of the bed she crawled onto it, her hands gripped his ankles and spread his legs enough for her to crawl in between them.

"I can smell you all the way up here. Do you want me Emrys? Answer me."

"Yes I want you Mordred."

Merlin looked at him through half lidded eyes that were dark with desire. Her tongue snaked out at one corner of her mouth and glided across her bottom lip, as it reached the other side she sucked that side of her lips into her mouth. She bit hard enough that her lip turned white at the pressure but not hard enough that it hurt as she pulled the lip back out.

Mordred´s eyes followed her tongue across her lip. His hands, still behind his head, shot out and grabbed her braid at the back of her head, and pulled her to him.

"Stop doing that. You know what that does to me."

He said against her lips with a husky voice before he kissed her. Merlin sighed against him while she let her body drop down on top of his, but he was having none of that. He pushed her back and sent her a little glare. His hands went to untie his trousers, when he had them open he grabbed her hand and pushed it down them.

"Take me in your hand Merlin, and rub me up and down."

Her hand closed around him as he hissed. Merlin never felt more powerful than when he became like this. It might be that he was the one in control but if she wanted to, she could change that at any time. But it made her feel powerful that she was the one to make him lose that iron grip he had on himself. She knew that he loved that she let him control her.

Her hand ran up and down his cock while she kissed and nibbled on his neck. His hands got placed on her shoulders and he pushed her down his body. Merlin let go of his dick and got a hiss out of him for it, her hands moved up under his shirt and when he found out what she wanted, he helped her to push it up and over his head.

When they had it off him and it was on the floor, Mordred pushed Merlin down him again. Her head got so far down that she felt Mordred´s hard dick hit her cheek.

"Taste me Merlin. Take me in that beautiful mouth of yours…"

Merlin let her tongue glide from the rod to the top, where she let it run around the head a few times before she closed her mouth around it and pushed her head further down. Mordred let out a mix between a groan and a hiss as she did it; one of his hands twisted in Merlin´s hair and pressed her head further down so she could feel him in the back of her throat.

Merlin moaned each time she was pressed further down as he hissed his pleasure at her. Suddenly he pulled her head off of him as he hissed.

"Enough Merlin. I want you. Now!"

He pulled her up so she was sitting in his lap. They both let out a moan when his hardness came into contact with her soaking center. His hands on her hips lifted her up a bit so she could use a hand to guide his head to her opening where he slammed home.

Merlin threw her head back with a shriek. His fingers held her so hard that they were sure to leave bruises. She bent her head down to his and kissed him while he guided her in the pace he wanted. Just as she was about to find the right rhythm, he pressed her down and pushed and pulled her forwards and backwards, as she caught on he ran his hands up her side and pulled her shirt over her head but did not let her get both of her hands free of the fabric.

He pushed her arms behind her and wrapped the shirt around her hands where he held them tight. She had no choice but to sit up right on him as he pulled on her shirt. He held on to her tight while he drove hard up into her till she came with a shriek. She was so lost in the pleasure that she barely noticed her hands get freed or that he turned her onto her back.

She did however notice it when he pressed his cock against her lips again, while his hand was closed firmly around the base as to hold off his orgasm.

"Take me in, Emrys. Swallow me down."

She opened her mouth as he pressed in. He only had to push into her mouth a few times before he too came with a loud groan of his own.

Merlin had her head rested on Mordred´s shoulder while she drew circles on his chest. The fingers on the arm Mordred had around her were trailing lazily up and down her side.

"Arthur thinks he has figured out who my lover is. He talked to Gwen about it. Arthur is wrong but Gwen isn't. Someday really soon they'll know. I don´t even know why we are keeping it secret anymore but with the upcoming law change I don't think now would be the right time to tell them."

"No probably not. Although with Arthur preoccupied with that he won´t have the time to threaten me about hurting you. Gwen always was a smart one. And who does he think your lover is?"

"He thinks that it´s Gwaine. It will be quite fun to see how he will treat him when this law has gone into effect. What will you do? I mean, when everybody knows about your powers and accepts it, accepts you? Will you still want to be a knight?"

"Yes it will. I think I will. I love being a knight. It feels right somehow. I have been many things but this is the first in a very long time that I have been proud of. What about you? Will you still just be Arthur´s maid when he knows?"

Merlin looked confused up at him.

"What else would I be doing? I will not be the court jester if that´s what you are insinuating."

Mordred laughed at her and she started to smile a lazy smile at him.

"No, Merlin, not a jester. Something more important or well maybe not important, like protecting him or… Oh I am doing this all wrong. What I mean is that when this is all out in the open would you maybe consider marrying me? You don't have to answer now or anything, just know when this is all over, I will ask you. But don't say anything. Just rest for now."

As Mordred fell asleep Merlin had her eyes wide open. He wanted to marry her one day? She did not quite comprehend that thought. She ended up putting it in the pile in her head labeled: think about later.

A week later Merlin was running around with something that felt very much like panic. Today, Arthur was going to tell the people that he had lifted the ban on a trial basis. She had laid out one of the finer sets of clothes that he owned.

Arthur came to stand at the opening to the balcony, with Gwen at his side, and a little behind them stood Mordred as a personal shield. He was to be on the balcony with them as Arthur made the announcement. Merlin just hoped they would take it better than the lords had done. Her ears had been ringing for a whole day because of their yelling.

"Merlin, do you really think I am doing the right thing here? I already asked Gwen but now I ask you one more time."

Merlin smiled reassuringly at him.

"Of course you are Arthur. The people know you and they trust you. There will be some who will not like it. But is that not always the case? Some didn´t like that you married Gwen and now they all love and adore her."

She smiled at Gwen who smiled back at her. Arthur did not say anything back but nodded at her and went out on the balcony, as Mordred passed she gave him a big smile which he returned only a little smaller. Her smile froze when she saw Gwen knowingly smirk at her. She had totally forgotten about her.

"So what you were saying about it not being him?"

Merlin mock glared at her with a smile.

"Let us just go show our support to Arthur." They turned to the balcony and stepped out on it together.

So not a lot happened in this chapter but I have been crazy busy and tired the last couple of days. And we can´t have everything happening too fast now can we? Hehe no we can´t have that.

Sooo, is the Danish people still with us? How do you like the cold?
