Chronicles of an Elven Bed-Warmer
Chapter the Thirteenth
Enhanced Intimacy
I own NOTHING!
It's really kind of depressing...
"Er...um..." was Aedan's eloquent response.
Kallian had only been trying to change the subject but now she was intrigued, what could make him so flustered? She made a grab for the book. Instinctively he moved it away, Kallian chased it. This continued for several moments until Aedan remembered something very important. He was tall, and she was short. So with a smug air he raised the book up over his head.
Kallian jumped up after it a few times before she sent him an angry glare. Aedan, in an uncharacteristic immature moment stuck his tongue out at her.
"Oh that's it." The elf took a few steps back and flung herself at the young lord. To his credit he was not knocked over but stayed standing. Undeterred the plucky girl attempted to climb him.
Aedan was stunned. This had never happened before.
It was not entirely unpleasant.
His elf weighed practically nothing to his large muscular frame and the sensation of her arms and legs around him was...distracting to say the least, not to mention that her breasts were pressed up against his face.
Whilst Aedan was having something akin to a religious experience Kallian snagged the book with a triumphant "A-ha!" Followed shortly with a disappointed "Oh, it's just that sex book."
Her blase tone awoke him from his trance. "Eh?"
"I have a copy at home." she explained. "Isabella gave it to me as a wedding gift."
"Isabella?"
"Someone from work, says she knows the author." she paused "Well, actually, what she says is that she collaborated on the book." The rouge flipped idly through the pages. "It could be true, she gets around a lot and some of the illustrations do kind of look like her."
There followed a long silence.
Kallian grew concerned. "Aedan-waugh!"
The young lord suddenly grabbed her and whirled her about every which way before she came to a stop, extremely disorientated and facing the wrong way under his arm.
"Am I going to get a spanking?" she questioned with a smirk.
Aedan sighed and put her down. "Kallian..." he paused, trying to think of a subtle way of phrasing his question. He never got the chance.
"Can we try some of this stuff?" she asked boldly.
Aedan sent her a surprised look. "Er..." he started.
Kallian beat him to it once again. "You're not the only one who's curious m'lord. If this humble elf may assist his lordship in any way he need only ask."
Aedan's mouth turned up at the corners. "Well, far be it from me to deny such a request, is there anything in particular the lady requires?"
Kallian's response was to blush and turn away. An action Aedan found almost unbearably cute.
"I've never had anyone...uh, rub my ears before." she whispered nervously, tucking back a loose hair.
"Well, uh," The young lord made his way over to the bed and sat down on the edge. "Just sit here in front of me, hold this." He gave her the book while she sat down cross-legged on the floor where he indicated, leaving it open on her lap so he could see the diagram.
"No, that won't work." he realized he couldn't reach her in that position, the bed was too high. "Better just come up here then." Aedan scooted back, propping himself up against the headboard. Kallian rose with a sigh and situated herself so the the back of her head rested against his chest. "Okay, then I'll..."
"Ow!"
"Sorry."
"OW! Not so rough!"
"It says to be firm."
"Yes, firm. Not 'try to rip it off', be more gentle."
Aedan frowned in concentration. "Alright, so more like..."
Kallian bit her lip to stifle a moan.
He raised an eyebrow. "So like that then?"
"Y-yeah."
Aedan smirked.
Kallian was surprised by how good it felt, it was never like that when she had done it on her own. She was practically purring with pleasure, and this was just her ears! What would the rest of it feel like? After a few more minutes of what felt like the best massage ever, Kallian noticed something poking her. She smiled and tried to wriggle herself back into Aedan.
Maker, she really wanted to have sex with this man.
Abruptly she flipped herself over, flinging the book off onto the floor...somewhere, planted a searing kiss on his lips and pressed her body up against him like she was trying to merge them into a single being.
Aedan, after a suitable amount of time, (when he needed to breath) broke the kiss.
"So I was doing that right then?"
She giggled and started to remove her shirt. "You could say that."
"Er...what are you doing?"
"I thought it was obvious." she replied with a smirk as she ran her fingers down his broad chest, pausing briefly to fluffle through his chest hair, something she had a bit of a thing about, elves didn't have body hair. She continued her assault by straddling his lap and drew herself toward him for another kiss, and coincidentally rub her breasts against him.
Aedan finally got with the program and started kissing her back and using his hands to explore her curves. Without breaking the kiss Kallian divested herself of her unwanted shirt and guided said digits down to the waistband of her panties(small-clothes?)
Surprised, he broke the kiss. "Are you sure?" he asked breathlessly.
Kallian gave a scathing look.
"I was only asking." he responded, sounding a bit hurt.
Upon hearing this Kallian very reluctantly stopped what she was doing. "What's bothering you now?" She couldn't keep the annoyed tone from her voice.
"Should we really be doing this?"
Kallian pinched the bridge of her nose. As much as she wanted to smack him on the head and yell "YES!" she should probably hear him out. "What brought this on?" she asked with a sigh.
"Wouldn't you rather get married first?" he asked earnestly.
She started to laugh before she realized that he was serious. "Oh Aedan, no." she said sympathetically. "Just no, even if we could..." She noticed his dejected expression. "It's- It's not that I don't like you. I do, a lot, but it's just..." She fell silent unable to articulate what she was feeling. It wasn't like they could anyway, wasn't marriage between an elf and a human illegal? And even if it wasn't, she knew how badly that would reflect on Aedan. He was the Tern's son, for Andraste's sake, she was just some nobody elf! It would be a huge scandal! If he was willing to go through that just for her...she felt a revived affection, accompanied by a not insignificant amount of good old-fashioned lust, toward the awkward lord.
"I guess I kind of killed the mood." his glum voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Don't know about that." she replied in a sultry voice. "You do realize that you just indirectly proposed to me, right?"
"Did I?" he blinked in apparent confusion.
"Mm-hmm" she nodded, slowly bringing a finger up to her lips.
"And you turned me down." the lord pointed out somewhat crestfallen. Kallian started to feel a bit nervous, worried that he would be angry with her. "I'm a bit hurt." he continued.
"Er, is there anything I could do to make you feel better m'lord?" She attempted to look appealing, which mostly consisted of making a pouty face and attempting to stick her chest out. It was surprisingly effective.
Aedan mock sighed in a resigned fashion and lifted the covers. The elf divested herself of her panties and let out a cute little 'squee' noise before she sensuously wriggled her way under them to cuddle into her "master's" lap.
After a few minutes she frowned. "It's not fair."
"What?"
"I'm the only one naked."
"You're not naked, you still have your stockings on." he pointed out helpfully.
She sighed. "Just take off your pants."
"I think you should do it."
"Ugh, spoiled nobility." she grumbled as she began to follow his instructions.
He stopped her. "With your teeth."
The elf shot him possibly the most lustful look Aedan had ever seen and followed his suggestion.
Neither got much sleep.

"Dragons!" exclaimed the king. "An army of trained fire-breathing dragons! Hah! I'd like to see what those snooty Orleasian cheese-eaters would think of that!"
Queen Anora pinched the bridge of her nose. Cailan had been talking to those mages again. She once again reminded herself that she loved her husband and would regret it later if she pushed him out of a third story window.
Probably.
"Cailan..." she began.
"They already have some hatch-lings, so the hard part is already done." He continued, oblivious to his wife's ire.
"So," she interjected. "you don't think stopping them eating people and setting fire to things would be the hard part?"
"Er..." the king paused, in his enthusiasm he had sort of ignored that bit, was rather a glaring flaw now that it had been pointed out. "I'm sure it will be fine, those mages are really quite clever chaps, you know, probably have it all worked out." He rationalized.

Meanwhile, at the tower of magic: "AAAAAAAGH! Everything's burning! Ice spell, ice spell! Why did I think it was a good idea to keep them in my apartment!? AAAAAA!"

Anora sighed again. "How much did you give them?"
"Not much, only around five hundred gold. Bit of a bargain really, considering."
The Queen felt relieved, that could have been much worse.
"I'm not completely stupid you know." The king pouted.
"I know you're not dear," she reassured. "Sometimes you just get a bit...over-enthusiastic."
"Well, I get bored. There's nothing for me to do. And you're always busy with...stuff, or playing with your elves." he took on a bit of a whine towards the end.
Anora raised an eyebrow.
"It's not that I don't like them, they certainly brighten the place up a bit, it just seems like we never spend any time together anymore. Of course it doesn't help that they're all terrified of me. Except for the two."
"Which two are those?"
"Oh, the tall quiet one and that bossy redhead, uh...Shianni, I think."
"Well they haven't had the best experiences with human men. So it is somewhat understandable that they would be wary."
Cailan shrugged.
"Look, they won't be here for very much longer." Anora failed to mention that she was thinking of keeping some of them.
The king seemed to know this anyway and gave her a skeptical look. "I suppose you'll be up late again tonight?"
"Er...yes." she confirmed guiltily.
Callian just sighed and walked away.
Anora bit her fingernails for a few moments before calling out. "Erlina!"
"Oui, your majesty?" The elven bard and personal maid to the queen appeared seemingly from nowhere directly behind her mistress, making her jump a little. 'How does she do that?' Anora wondered, she could have sworn the room had been empty. She recovered quickly and relayed her instructions.
"His Majesty is feeling neglected, do you think you could go and keep him company until I can get free?"
"Oui." the maid replied.
Anora smirked a little. As a trained bard Erlina knew lots of ways to distract men. Commoners might be shock by the Queen sending another woman into her husband's bed but the nobility did things differently. Anora knew that most noblemen had a mistress or two stashed away somewhere, at least the smart ones were discrete about it. Cailan's father King Merric had not been one of those. The Maker only knew how many half-brothers Cailan had wandering about. Anora, being quite a clever girl had decided that if the King were going to cheat on her anyway, then it would damn well pick who it was. Overall she was quite pleased by how well it was working out, she liked to have a night to herself once and awhile.
Having taken care of her marital obligation she steeled herself for her meeting with the royal lawyers. Preparing her request to the landsmeet was an arduous process, everything had to be just so. It was at times like these that she envied Orlais' total monarchy. She was willing to bet the empress didn't have to put up with this shit.

The next morning Aedan was rudely awakened when a deranged madwoman burst into his chambers.
"Arise, Arise for 'tis dawn, and the day remains unconquered!" she gibbered incoherently.
Wait, nevermind, it was just Elisa. "Go Away." replied the young lord. Blocking the light with his forearm. "What do you want anyway, the sun's barely up."
She regarded him with a raised eyebrow. "Bit of a rough night?"
"Just a little insomnia, nothing to concern yourself over. Now may I inquire as to the reason for your presence?"
"I was looking for Miss Kallian, when I saw she wasn't in her room, for some reason I assumed she would be in here." She looked pointedly at the suspicious mass of bedclothes next to him.
"It's the cat." He lied. Aedan had wanted a nice long lie in, maybe a bit of fun and then a nice romantic brunch and he certainly wasn't going to let Elissa just stroll off with his intended partner.
Unfortunately at the very next second there was a very loud screech followed by some panicked yelping as his sister's mabari once again met the Stray.
"A different cat." Aedan improvised.
"Uh huh." grunted Elissa and pulled the cover back to reveal a naked elf.
"Er..."

Kallian felt wonderful. Aedan had proven himself the gifted lover. Or at least that's how it seemed to her, not that she had much to compare it to. She had heard the girls at the Pearl talk at she was willing to bet the he was definitely better than average. It took some effort to get him going, but once he was, wow, hold on. One time a neighbor had put a brick on the lid of a pot of boiling water, the rattle was bothering them, well that went okay for a while but then thing exploded and nearly burned down the entire alienage. Making love to Aedan was like that, but with less fire and only one person screaming (her), so she wanted a repeat performance just as soon as possible to that end she started to huddle toward him, but then suddenly she felt a chill.

The elf awoke with a loud groan and rubbed her eyes in a, to Aedan, rather cute way before stretching languorously giving everyone present a really good view of her breasts, this was appreciated by some more than others, before rolling of the side of the bed onto her feet and slowly shuffling her way towards the door. Unfortunately this space was currently filled by sister so she soon came to a halt. The elf frowned and groped for a handle, mistaking the Lady for a door. After a few awkward seconds her hand realized that this particular obstacle was rather soft and warm for a door, after a few more seconds it concluded that said obstacle was probably not a door therefore someone needed to engage the brain in order to decipher this conundrum. To this end Kallian opened her eyes.
"Elissa?!" she yelped, now very much awake, she looked down and squeaked. "Why am I naked?" she tried vainly to cover herself. Then she remembered: Oh yeah, I had sex last night. She sent Aedan a flirty wink.
"Ahem." oh right, Elissa.
"Er, did you want something milady?"
"I believe we had an appointment to spar this morning."
"Um...did we. I don't remember..."
"I may have neglected to tell you, never the less, get your kit on and meet me in the courtyard post-haste." And with this the Lady made her exit.
When she was safely out of the room Kallian stuck her tongue out at her then sighed and turned to Aedan. "I hope you appreciate what I go through for you."
"Eh?" he replied, confused.
"Learning all these courtly manners and such so I don't embarrass you."
"Is that what you're doing? If you were worried about that I could have found someone a bit less..." he trailed off not sure what word would describe his sister's Elissa-ness.
Kallian looked astonished. She hadn't even considered that.
"Too late now, I think. Once Elissa set her mind to something it's best not to...interfere." hr finished ominously.
"I guess I had better get going then." she sighed.
"Yup, have fun." he replied with a definite 'better you than me' tone in his voice.
She shot him a rude gesture as she left.
Bwa-ha-ha-ha-haha! IT LIVES!
Ahem, sorry for taking so long I'm having quite a bit of trouble with where I want to take the plot, but rest assured I will get through it, so don't unwatch this or anything, it just may take a while. Suggestions are of course always welcome, just PM me. also I find the position of Beta once again open, Paragon seems to have dissappeared into the ether, for this chapter I was forced to have my mother do it, this is clearly unacceptable. So yeah, interested parties should also PM me. er, that's all for now. ta ta.
