Unbeknown to the two lovers, outside the door to the Inquisitors room, Iron Bull, Dorian, Sera and Varric all sat around, ears perked for the sounds that were going on inside.
"That a girl," Iron Bull rumbled in a quiet but highly amused tone, and then pointed at the door. "Hear that? Seeker looses it in less than five. Guaranteed."
Sera giggled. "Wout? That quick again? No staying power that one. Least make her work for a li'll."
"I'm just surprised everything works down there," Varric said. "Maybe give her a few more rounds, the pipes are out of practice."
"I could use a bit of magic. Really heighten sensation," Dorian looked like he was seriously considering it.
"What in the blazes are you all doing?" Cullen barked out, coming up the wooden staircase.
"Crap. Busted." Iron Bull grumbled.
"We're shamelessly listening to the Inquisitor and the Seeker have sex, Commander. Obviously," Dorian said without missing a beat.
Cullen came up short at that answer, jerking his eyes to the door and then back at the group and the door again when he heard a sharp but muffled cry of pleasure and his cheeks turned beet red.
"Ha! See," Iron Bull grinned at them. "Told you."
"You know, if I made my characters come that fast even in a serial as bad as Swords and Shields, it still wouldn't be believable," Varric shook his head with that dry amusement on his face.
"This isn't - you can't just - "
"What in the world are you all doing?" Leliana's question interrupted Cullen's stammering, Josephine bringing up the rear.
"Shouda sold tickets, I'm thinkin," Sera giggled.
"We've got a bet going," Dorian explained. "Well, I suppose we'll need a new bet now."
"5 to 1 odds they can squeeze in another round before Curly and crew have to interrupt them for important Inquisitor business," Varric said.
"Bet." Iron Bull said easily.
"I can't believe you're spying on the Inquisitor while she's… she's…." Josephine stammered.
"Sex Josephine. She's having sex," Leliana said with a faint smile pulling at her mouth. "With Cassandra no doubt. I'll take your bet."
"Are you all insane? This isn't proper you can't just-"
"Shhh. Don't let them hear you, Curly. I think they're going again," Varric waved a hand at Cullen, ear perked towards the door.
"Well… I suppose since we're all already here…" Josephine pushed through the crowd and over to the door.
And until it was time to pull the lovers apart and prepare for the battle at Adamant that's where the group stayed. Rest assured if Cassandra ever found out - she was going to kill all of them.
