After Denarius was dead, Luna Hawke had let Fenris leave the Hanged Man and head back to his mansion alone, knowing he needed space to think, but that evening, she decided to check up on him. She entered the mansion through the unlocked front door and went upstairs to Fenris's bedroom where she saw him and Isabela talking by the lit fireplace.

"You know, you could go anywhere you like now…" Isabela said.

"I am aware of that." Fenris said back, matter-of-factly.

"Oh! You could become a raider! You could join my crew!"

"The crew of your non-existent ship?"

"Well," Isabela scoffed as she stood up. "With that attitude, you're never going anywhere, are you?" She then walked passed Luna while rolling her eyes and left.

"She doesn't understand…" Fenris said to Luna as she sat down where Isabela had been. "Yes, I am free. Denarius is dead. Yet… it doesn't feel like it should."

"Seems like you should be dancing for joy." Luna joked, as she often did in these situations… well, every situation, actually.

"I would've thought so." He replied, plainly. "I thought if I didn't need to run and fight to stay alive, I'd finally be able to live as a free man does… but how is that? My sister is gone and I have nothing, not even an enemy."

"You're not reminiscing about the good old days of being hunted I hope…"

He chuckled, "I wouldn't go that far. It's just… difficult to overlook the stain that magic has left on my life. If I seem bitter, it's not without cause. Perhaps it is time to move forward…"

"You're still blaming magic for everything?"

"Think about it, Luna. Look at what happened to your mother, your sister… so many others. Is there anyone whose life has been touched by magic that actually benefits?"

"I understand how you feel, Fenris, but blaming magic isn't the answer."

"There are enough problems in this world without putting power in the hands of those too weak to resist its allure. Them, I fear, as should you… as should anyone." He then changed the subject, "But what's important now is moving forward… I only wish I knew where that led…" He trailed off, almost as if he were hinting at something.

"Well… wherever it leads…" Luna said, holding her hands out to the fire to warm them up, "I hope it means we'll stay together."

"That is my hope as well." Fenris said with a smile, one of his soft, rare ones. He then continued with, "We have never discussed what happened between us three years ago."

"You didn't want to talk about it."

"I felt like a fool… I thought it better if you hated me, I deserved no less, but it isn't better." He stood up and walked over, standing right in front of her, "That night… I remember your touch as if it were yesterday. I should've asked your forgiveness long ago, I hope you can forgive me now."

"I need to understand why you left, Fenris." Luna said, seriously.

"I've thought about the answer a thousand times… the pain, the memories it brought up. It was too much, I was a coward!" He growled at himself. "If I could go back, I would stay, tell you how I felt."

"What would you have said?"

"Nothing could be worse than the thought of living without you." He said, his green eyes filled with affection, all of it for her.

"Do you still feel that way, or has time erased that?" Luna asked.

"I still feel that way."

Sensing the truth in what he was saying, Luna immediately knew she could forgive him, but decided to tease him a bit. "Oh, I don't know if I can forgive you just yet… it may be fun to hold this over you a while longer."

Knowing she was just teasing him, he smirked and leaned over to look her in the eyes. "If there is a future to be had, Luna… I will walk into it gladly at your side."

Unable to contain herself, Luna stood up and wrapped her arms around Fenris's neck as she kissed him passionately, and Fenris smiled into the kiss as he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her back. The two of them simply stood there in the middle of room, holding each other and sharing sweet kisses, trying to re-familiarize themselves with each other. When Fenris started kissing her more passionately and running his hands down her body, Luna suddenly pulled back, "Wait…"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just don't think we should rush this." She explained, "I mean, I think rushing straight to sex is what screwed things up last time, so maybe this time we should just… take it slow?"

"Alright, if that's what you want."

About a week later, Luna was at the Hanged Man with Isabela and Varric as they talked and played a game of Wicked Grace at Isabela's usual table. As they talked, Isabela suddenly looked at Luna and said, "By the way, I heard you and Fenris are back together!"

"Yeah, we have been for about a week now."

"You're one lucky bitch, you know that?" Isabela laughed. "I'd do anything to get that elf in bed just once, but you've gotten him in bed who many times?"

"Once."

Isabela and Varric both looked at her with shocked expressions until Isabela laughed again and asked, "No, seriously, how many times?"

"Once." Luna said, seriously and took a sip of her whiskey.

"…Are you talking about when you slept together three years ago?"

"Yes."

"You two haven't slept together since? What have you two been doing since you got back together then?"

"Just spending time together; he came over last night and we had dinner together."

"That's it?"

"Not everyone jumps straight into bed like you do, Isabela."

"Ooo, low blow!" Varric laughed.

"And speak of the man of the hour!" Isabela said as she saw Fenris walk in and waved him over. "We were just talking about you!" She told him as he sat down next to Luna.

"Dare I ask exactly what about me?"

"We were just talking about how you and Luna are back together, but haven't jumped into bed yet. I mean, come on!" Isabela sighed.

"I fail to see how this is any of your business."

"Come on, Elf, you know Ravaini; she has to get into everyone's business." Varric said.

"Right." Fenris sighed before turning his attention to Luna. "I have to say, I'm surprised you're here right now."

"Why is that?"

"Didn't Aveline invite you over to her house for dinner tonight?"

Luna's eyes widened, and she immediately stood up, "Damn it, I completely forgot! Oh man, Aveline's going to kill me! I have to go! See you guys later!" With that, she left, leaving the three of them alone.

The next day, Luna headed to Fenris's mansion and went right in. They all knew that Fenris left his front door unlocked when he was home and awake, but when he was asleep or out, he locked it; so, when the door opened with no trouble, she knew he was home. She walked into the main hall and called out his name, and she heard him call back to her from one of the adjoining rooms on the ground floor. She walked into the room and saw him hanging upside down from a pullup bar and doing some upside-down sit ups. What really caught her attention, though, is that he wasn't wearing a shirt and only had on a loose fitting pair of shorts, so she could clearly see his abs at work as he went up and down. "You know," She teased as she leaned against the doorframe. "Showing off like that is making it very difficult for me to hold back."

He chuckled and responded, "It was your choice to come over." He then grabbed the bar with his hands and unfolded his knees from around it so he could drop down to the floor on his feet.

"I didn't say you had to stop." Luna said, a bit disappointed.

"I was done, anyway." He chuckled again. "I'd been doing that for about twenty minutes now." He rotated his shoulder a bit to loosen up the muscles. "So, is there something you need?" He then took a towel and placed it around the back of his neck, and looked at her.

"No, not really." She answered. "I was just wondering if you wanted to come to my estate for dinner again tonight."

"Of course, what time?"

"8:00 or so. I gave Orana the day off, so I'll be cooking the meal, and she, Bohdan and Sandal are all going to be out of the house the entire night."

"We're going to be alone all night?" Fenris asked. Luna nodded, and he smirked, teasing, "How worried should I be?"

Luna laughed. "Oh, not worried at all! I promise, tonight is going to be great!" She gave him a quick kiss. "See you tonight." She then turned and left.

Fenris watched her ass as she walked away, and his smirk widened. 'Yeah, it's going to be very great!'

That night, Fenris got to Luna's estate at around 8:00 and was holding something behind his back. He was wearing a black tank top and black leather pants; he knocked on the door with his free hand. After a minute or so, the door opened and Luna smiled when she saw him. "Hi Fenris, right on time!"

"Did you think I'd be late in spending time with my girlfriend?" He showed her what he was hiding behind his back, a bouquet of red roses.

"Wow!" She laughed and took the flowers. "You really went all-out, didn't you?" She breathed in their scent before moving to the side to let him in, and closed the door behind him. "Come on, I have everything set up in the dining room!" He followed her further into the estate and into the dining room where there was a table set for two with candles lit and food and wine already on the table.

"And you say I went all-out?" He teased.

"I want tonight to be special." She walked into the kitchen and came back a minute later with the roses in a vase as she sniffed them again. "Thank you for the flowers."

"Well, you're not the only one who wants tonight to be special." Fenris said with a smile, sitting down at the table and watched as she sat down across from him. He then looked down at the food in front of him, "It smells good. What is it?"

"It's a special lamb recipe that my mother taught me." She saw him take a bite. "Well?"

"It's good!" Fenris complimented. "Is there garlic in it?"

"Yes, as a fact of fact, there is!" She laughed.

"I also taste salt and pepper."

"Wow, you're good."

Fenris chuckled. "It's not that hard to taste."

The rest of dinner went by with them talking about anything that came to mind while they ate. Once they both finished eating and cleaned their dishes, Luna took Fenris's hand and led him up the stairs and into her room. She closed her bedroom door even though there was no one else home because she didn't want them to be interrupted come morning. She then walked over to the fireplace and lit a fire, lightly blowing into it to help it grow. She heard Fenris walk up from behind and sat down on the floor next to her, looking into the fire as it roared to life. She scooted closer to him and laid her head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her. "I wish tonight would never end."

"It has to, eventually…" He cupped her chin and had her look at him, green eyes meeting blue. "But hasn't yet." He slowly leaned down and kissed her on the lips, and she responded immediately by kissing him back. When he pulled away from that kiss, she was the one to go right back in and kiss him again. As they kissed, Luna laid her hand on Fenris's knee before moving up his inner leg and towards his crotch, but he grabbed her wrist before she got there and broke the kiss again, "Luna, wait."

"Wait? I've been waiting for three years!" She complained. "How much longer do you expect me to wait?"

"I just mean that we don't have to rush this; let's take it slow."

Luna whined and pouted a bit. "We've been "taking it slow" for more than a week! I am tired of being kept waiting." She pushed him to the floor so he was lying flat on his back as he made an "oof" noise, and crawled on top of him so she was straddling his waist. "But if you insist on taking it slow, how about we play a little game?" Luna smirked, her blue eyes glinting mischievously.

"Why am I nervous?" He asked.

"Don't know, but relax, it's nothing bad." She laid her entire body on top of his. "We're just going to see how long you can last."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you are going to lay there, and you are not allowed to touch me, whatsoever; no touching with your hands, your mouth, anything. While I…" She kissed his neck and finished, whispering in his ear, "Have some fun with you." She licked along his ear before moving down and kissing his neck again. "And remember, no touching." She kissed his neck again and then licked all the way up it as she moved her leg a bit so it was in between his legs and her knee was just lightly brushing against his crotch.

Fenris groaned as she continued kissing down his body after removing his shirt and now brushing her hand against his cock through his pants. He wanted nothing more than to shed Luna out of her clothes so he could touch and kiss her all over her naked body, but he also knew better. After all, this was a game, and if he cracked, he lost, and he refused to lose. He dug his nails into the carpeted floor beneath him as he let out another groan from her ministrations.

Luna growled quietly in frustration. 'Damn his cool composure!' She thought, and then smirked. 'But if he wants to play hard to crack, I'm just going to have to hit harder.' Luna then moved down unzipped Fenris's pants and took them off so he was now lying completely naked on the floor. His cock was stiff and standing straight up and Luna wrapped her hand around it, stroking it up and down. "It looks just as I remember it," She slowly licked it all the way up to the tip. "And tastes the same, too." Luna then wrapped her mouth around the top and slid it as far as she could into her mouth without choking; she remembered from last time that the sound of choking was a real turnoff for Fenris. She heard him moan as she watched him toss his head back in pleasure, and she moaned herself, enjoying the view of him being pleasured. Suddenly, she felt his hand on her head and his fingers running through her ebony hair, and she stopped to say, "I guess that means you lose."

"I don't really care at this point."

"No, I guess you really wouldn't." She chuckled and took his cock back in her mouth and continued her blowjob while stroking the bottom part of it, the part that wouldn't fit in her mouth. She then heard him let out a growl from deep in his throat at the same time as he gripped her hair as he clenched his hand into a fist; she knew that meant he was right on the verge of orgasm. Instead of giving him the satisfaction of release so soon, however, she quickly pulled away and sat up, which made him gasp in surprise.

"Why did you stop?" He panted.

"Because I don't want you to cum in my mouth," She straddled his waist again and leaned over him. "I want you to cum inside me." She kissed him, and he responded immediately, wrapping his arms around her and sliding his tongue into her mouth while also positioning himself at her entrance and gently slipping in. Luna broke the kiss as she let out a slight groan. "Sorry, it's just been a while. I haven't had sex in three years."

"Neither have I."

Luna laughed and sat up, putting her hands on Fenris's chest and moved down until Fenris's cock was all the way inside her. She moaned and stayed put for a moment to let them both get used to the feeling they hadn't felt in a long time until Fenris put his hands on her hips and helped her move off his cock to where it was almost out of her, but then slide back down. Pretty soon, the two established a rhythm and were both moaning and gasping in pleasure. Every time Luna slid back down onto Fenris's cock, she would rotate her hips a bit so his skin would slightly rub against her clit, which would increase the pleasure for both of them.

"Fuck!" Fenris growled as he moved with her so she would take all of his cock every time. He then reached one of his hands up and grabbed Luna's hair, yanking it a bit, because he knew she liked that. He also knew that she loved to dirty talk in bed, so he did just that. "You like it when I fuck you like this, don't you?"

Luna smirked down at him. "Yes."

"Yes what?"

"Yes, I love it when you fuck me like this!"

He yanked her hair a little harder which made her moan. "Yes, you do!" He suddenly flipped them over so he was on top and towering over her, and picked up the pace a bit.

"Yes! Yes, I do!" Luna cried out, feeling herself getting closer and closer to her release. "Please, Fenris, fuck your little slut!" She felt him pound into her even harder, and she clung to him and cried out in sheer bliss she came. She locked her legs around his waist as she did, trying desperately to keep the moment going for as long as she could when she felt him tense up and the heat of his seed spilling deep into her. After he was empty, he completely collapsed on top of her, both of them panting heavily from their intense love making.

After a moment or two, Fenris moved a bit so his weight was on his lower arms and looked at Luna, still panting a bit. "Maker, it is so good to have you in my arms again." He kissed her on the lips. "I am never letting you go again."

"Good," Luna replied as she wrapped her arms around his strong neck and hugged him. "Because I'm not planning on letting you go, either."

The next morning, Fenris woke up and looked down at Luna who was already awake and just absentmindedly running her finger across the lyrium lines on his chest. "Luna?"

She looked up and smiled. "Good morning, Fenris!"

He smiled back. "Good morning."

She hugged him. "Last night was unbelievably amazing!"

"Yes, it was." He chuckled and hugged her back. "I was a complete idiot to leave you before."

"Hey, no sense talking about that now. The past is the past."

"Yes, but my point was that it's never going to happen again. Nothing is going to keep me from you!" He said, and sealed his promise with a kiss.

––

Okay, so I guess it might have gotten a bit sappy in the end, but in Dragon Age 2, near the end when he says "nothing is going to keep me from you" and kisses Hawke, it's one of my favorite parts in the game! So, I had to add that in here somewhere!

Anyway, please review and let me know if you liked it!
