They both screamed in pleasure, their pace starting out slow, getting faster and faster with each thrust. Their bodies danced together as they worked towards completion, utter fulfillment. Hawke matched Fenris' pace, increasing the pleasure both of them received until she couldn't hold out much longer.
"Oh Fenris!" Hawke yelled into the air as she came. Fenris laid her on her back and continued to ram himself into her. He pushed all the way inside her, spilling his seed deep inside her womb with a feral roar. One last kiss before he collapsed in top of her, their hair a mess and breathing erratic.
A few moment of silence was shared between the two before Fenris spoke.
"That was…I have no words to describe what just occurred."
"Promise we'll do it again soon. Having you inside me was the best feeling I've ever experienced. We've become one and I don't think I can bear the thought of being away from you."
"The notion is mutual." The sun had left and the moon took its place. Fenris wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling Hawke closer so she was flush against his equally naked body. They kissed again and closed their eyes, eager to resume their activities in the morning.
Chapter 21: Battle to the Death: Arishok vs. Hawke Part 1
The newfound lovers returned to Kirkwall in a week's time. Aveline was absolutely livid with them, scolding them for leaving without saying anything.
"We left a note," Hawke said. That seemed to make the guard Captain turn as red as her hair.
"Hawke, this city needs you," Aveline said, "and no one is going help make this mess right. Everyone depends on you for stability. You're the only reason people haven't burned this place to the ground yet."
"Aveline, I'm not this city's anchor, attack dog or protector. I'm a person just like you. I want to build a life but I can't do it here because everyone's breathing down my neck, expecting me to do something about a problem they're too lazy to solve themselves. I have needs as well but I don't complain to someone I don't even know. I only deal with all this shit because there's something worth protecting."
Aveline stayed silent after Hawke's rant, still as a statue. She decided to leave the two to their devices.
The next few months were terrible for everyone. Zealots killed Sheamus was 'kidnapped' by Qunari and zealots killed Qunari delegates. Turned out Sheamus went to the Qunari of his free will, disobeying his father, Kirkwall's Viscount.
"The boy is old enough to do as he pleases. He can make his own decisions, good or bad, and learn from them." Hawke defended the Viscount's son's actions, managing to piss off the Dumar and Bran at the same time. She had gotten herself kicked out of the Keep.
Sir Varnell, a Templar who followed Mother Petrice, had organized an army of elves and they had to fight them off. It wasn't hard for Hawke or Fenris but Aveline and Anders couldn't keep up with their pace.
Things in Kirkwall went from bad to worse when Petrice killed Sheamus, trying to pin the blame on Hawke and her companions. In the end, Petrice was killed by a Qunari, saying they take care of their own.
The tides turned when a deranged blood mage killed Leandra. Hawke didn't cry but she felt sorry for the dead woman, especially when her last words were kind words about her, not accusing her for getting her killed like she had done many times before.
That night, Hawke had sat on the bed, staring absently at the wall. Fenris had come in and sat next to her. He didn't say a word, just pulled her to his unarmored chest.
"I can't remember any good times. When she died in my arms, a myriad of memories just attacked me and I nearly passed out. They were all of terrible, harsh words, accusations and abandonment." She pushed herself closer to him. "I envy you right now. I want to forget everything again, don't want to feel the pain of remembering."
They stopped hiding, revealing everything to everyone without saying anything.
"It's about time," Varric said.
"No fair, I wanted to play with him," Isabella pouted. Anders showed his contempt and disgust for the elf but didn't comment on anything else.
"Oh that's wonderful," Merril said happily.
And that's right before Isabella ran off with the Book of Koslun, the entire reason the Qunari were occupying Kirkwall. Aveline then had her go to the compound and talk to the Arishok. They spoke but it ended with Qunari soldiers throwing spears at them, guards getting killed and the two women running for their lives.
Everyone regrouped in Lowtown, working their way up to the Viscount's Keep. Along the way, they met Knight-Commander Meredith and First Enchanter Orsino. When they got there, Viscount Dumar's tumbled at Hawke's feet.
"You find yourself in the center of this…city's problems yet again," the Arishok grumbled.
"I can say the same thing to you," Hawke returned. "All of this destruction for a book?"
"It's not just a book you can buy anywhere. The Tome of Koslun is the very core of the Qun in text. It's sacred and must be returned."
"Well you won't be seeing it soon. My dear Isabella took off with it. Sadly I don't know where she went so torching the city is pointless."
"Like hell you don't know where I am." Eyes locked on the figure at the door. It was Isabella holding the large book in her hands. "You can have it back. It's too heavy to carry anywhere anyways.
She gave the tome to the Arishok which he gave to one of his soldiers.
"Now we must take her with his."
"Hold you overweight horn for a second. I do agree Isabella was wrong to take your tome and should be punished…"
"I'll enjoy anything you give me Hawke," Isabella interrupted.
"…but I'll do the punishing. It's only fair her own people gives her what she deserves."
"Spank me, I've been a bad girl."
"And I will duel you for her freedom." Hawke's band of misfits nearly stopped breathing at the request. They all disagreed, telling her she was insane and would get herself killed.
"You expect me to fight you female?"
"But she's no ordinary female," Fenris pointed out. "You have name her Basalit-An, worthy of respect."
"What say you Hawke?"
"A battle to the death Arishok."
