MoonPriestess30: YAY smut, hopefully tasteful smut though. This chapter is a little shorter than usual as the next chapter I don't think I'm going to be able to split in two. The next one is going to take a while to work on, especially as I'm updating three other FanFics as well as this one. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 29

Amelie moaned happily as they lay on Isabela's rather small bed, she was feeling rather content. She rested her head on Fenris' arm that was wrapped around her, it had certainly been a while since they were intimate and she felt it, her mood had picked up considerably but now her legs were aching. It was a fair pay off. They had pulled the blanket up and over them to provide some warmth but it wasn't really holding up. 'I missed you,' Amelie says quietly as she runs her hand over his chest. Fenris raises a brow and looks down at her, though he could see that she was relaxed, something was on her mind.

He moved a little further down the bed so that he was level with her without disturbing her headrest, he reached out and stroked her cheek. 'I have missed you as well,' he admits. Amelie smiles and leans forward to give him a gentle kiss. 'You have something on your mind,' he says softly as they pull apart.

'You,' Amelie says honestly, 'you've been distant from me and it had been a while since we were... like this,' she said motioning to their naked bodies. 'I was worried that maybe... maybe you didn't want to be with me or find me attractive any more-'

'Amelie,' Fenris cut in, 'do not ever think that I do not find you attractive,' he says with a frown. 'I have seen you covered in blood, bruises, mud and dragon gloop,' he says with a slight tease making her grin which in turn made him smile. 'I have always thought you are beautiful, regardless of the situation. As for our relationship...' he went quiet and Amelie's heart plummeted. Maybe there is something wrong and he just doesn't know how to say it, she thought bitterly. Amelie sat up leaning on her elbow as she waited for him to continue talking. Fenris closed his eyes and draped an arm over his face, it was then Amelie really felt panic.

'Fenris, do you want to be with me?' Amelie asked forcing herself to say the words and praying to the Maker that she didn't cry. 'I'll understand if you don't,' she adds.

Fenris sat up quickly and shook his head, 'where did that come from?' He says frantically. 'Do you not want to be with me?' He asks as he grabs her hands making Amelie grapple with her core strength to keep herself upright. Shifting her legs she managed to sit up looking at him. 'Of course I want to be with you,' Fenris cups her face and wipes a tear that had escaped. 'Why would you think that I would not want to be with you?'

Amelie broke, 'because you're going on about our relationship and we hadn't been intimate in ages and basically everything I said like a couple of minutes ago,' she said as she felt herself cry, 'and now I'm being all pathetic,' she complained. Amelie turned her face away from him as she mentally screamed at herself to calm down.

'It is not you, Amelie,' Fenris said quietly as he looked at his hands that sat in his lap. Amelie looked at him through her hair before flicking it behind her. She stayed quiet while she waited for him to speak. 'I... I reached out to the sister that Hadriana spoke about,' he revealed, Amelie couldn't help but gasp, was it that time already? 'I know that you know what happens, at least, you have an idea of what will happen and I suppose I have been subconsciously avoiding you as I want to ask, I know you will not tell me, I do not wish to resent you because of it,' Fenris explained. 'I am... scared, Amelie. Terrified actually,' he admits still looking at his hands. 'If... this is a trap, I do not wish to place you in harms way, I am scared of losing you either from resentment that you will not tell me the future, or having the future unfold and you get hurt.'

'Isabela was right,' Amelie said without thinking. Fenris frowned and looked at her. 'Uh, ignore that,' Amelie said shaking her head and reaching over to take Fenris' hands in hers. 'Fenris, I made the decision to help the ones I love even if that means telling them what happens. I had an enlightening conversation a few moths ago. I was reminded that in order to change everything like I wished, I have to actually change things,' she smiles. 'If you wish I can tell you what happened to me, I've already spoken to Leto about this subject and he doesn't mind if I do,' she shrugs a shoulder.

Fenris grips her fingers, 'do you think it will help?'

'Honestly I don't know, things might have been planning to go in a completely different route here regardless,' she points out. 'I think it will help you though, especially if it puts your mind at ease,' she says as she brushes a strand of hair from his eyes. 'Do you want me to tell you now?' She asks.

Fenris inhales deeply and sighs, 'no, not tonight, I do not wish for the time we have spent together to be clouded by other things,' he says softly as he holds her hands tightly and pulls her towards him making her squeak as she falls forward. He chuckles lightly as her weight presses against his chest.

'What did you do that for?' Amelie giggles lightly as she pffts her hair out her eyes.

'Making up for lost time,' he says as he reaches down and grabs her thighs pulling them up to so that she straddled him. Amelie went pink as the blanket dropped from her shoulders. Fenris smiled as he ran his fingers over her hips and up to her waist, 'I feel there is better things we could be doing right now,' he suggests, the weight of her sitting on his hips was pleasant indeed. A half smile plays on Amelie's lips as she looks at her lover.

'Is that so?' She grins as she leans forward her breasts resting against his chest as she goes to kiss him. 'You really must have missed me,' she teases as she playfully moves away from his attempt to kiss her. 'What am I going to do with you?' Amelie says with a hint of laughter, leaning onto her elbows which were just above his shoulders on the mattress she wove her fingers into his hair, her nails running across his scalp. Fenris' breathing was heavy and the way he tilted his head back as she played with his hair made a heat bloom in Amelie's navel. How is it possible to be that sexy? I mean, he only has to look at me in a certain way and I melt, she thought to herself as she increased the pressure of her nails making him moan ever so slightly. Maker almighty, Amelie bite her lip as the heat increased.

'Amelie,' Fenris said, his deep voice vibrating through her. Her mouth felt dry and she would swear that he could feel her heart beating simply through her skin touching his. Slowly she began to kiss across his chest before lingering at the line of his collarbone and tracing it lightly with gently bites and kisses. Fenris' hands rested on her hips and she felt him dig the tips of his fingers into her skin as his desire increased. Teasingly she rocked back and forth against him feeling his length pressed firmly against her backside. 'Woman,' he said with gritted teeth, Amelie smiled and suckled lightly on his throat feeling his fingers bite harder into her hips as she moved. 'Are you taking delight in my torment?' Fenris whispered as she began to kiss up to his mouth.

'Immensely,' she smiled as she caught his lips in hers and at that moment shifting her legs and hips so that he moved between her thighs. She gasped as she felt him, the rush of pleasure flowing through her navel deep into her stomach. She moaned his name as they kissed, his teeth catching her bottom lip as she moved against him. Lost in each other they moved, the heat and sound of breathing only driving them closer and closer to the point of no return. The candlelight began to dim as it burnt out, the only indicator of time passing. Fenris could feel the wave building and so he grabbed Amelie around the waist and changed their position so that she was under him. Her porcelain skin was slick with sweat and her cheeks and lips flushed deeply, it was his turn to lose his hands in her curls, the softness dancing across his fingers as he gripped her hair tightly. Feeling her body writhe under his created a pleasure he didn't know was possible, he buried his head into her shoulder as he reached his limit. He moaned her name as his muscles contracted, the wave crashing around him. Amelie tightened her legs around his hips as he moved deeper triggering her own release, she ran her nails down his back as she gasped, his name shakily uttered. They lay entwined for what seemed like hours before the candle flickered out swamping them into darkness. 'Thank you for telling me what was bothering you,' Amelie said after a little while as they lay in the early sun keeping each other warm.

Fenris hummed a reply as he hugged her tightly, 'thank you for understanding,' he said softly. 'My sister arrives at the end of the week,' he adds as an afterthought.

'The end of this week?!' Amelie yelped as she sat up. 'Well that's in like two days! Two fucking days!' She says slapping Fenris lightly on the arm. 'That's not enough time, ooooh you're a bastard. Always doing things like this! Springing things on me! Were you ever gonna tell me? Or were you just going to let her appear out of nowhere?' Amelie snapped, she was angry but not really at him, just the situation.

'I was going to talk to you about it, I just did not know when,' he admits as he pulls the blanket over her head to calm her down, it works for about a second before he sees her eyes glowing with mana. 'Amelie, calm down,' he says a little wary.

'I oughta...' she growls as she yanks the cover off her. She glares at him and he gives her a sheepish look. He was too relaxed after their night together to feel annoyed at her reaction, 'you're lucky you're attractive,' she says grabbing the pillow and hitting him with it. 'You bastard,' she adds. With a heavy sigh she falls back onto the bed. 'You're lucky I love you,' she grumbles in humour. Fenris chuckles and pulls her closer to him as he wraps them back up in the blanket. He kisses her temple hearing her complain under her breath as she continues to slander him. 'In all seriousness Fenris, I think we're gonna have to do some serious preparation for her arrival,' Amelie says quietly.

'I know,' he nods as he hugs her, his skin was unhappy about the prolonged contact but he ignored it, he wanted nothing more than to be close to her right now.

'There may be demons in your future,' she whispered as she grips him, pressing her body against his.

'I know there will be, sooner or later,' Fenris replies as his heart drops. 'Just, stay beside me, always.'

'Always.'
