I apologise in advance for any mistakes I may have made :D


Morgana was on her way to see Merlin, she wanted to know how it went after both he and Arthur left. Knocking on Merlin's doors she waited a few seconds before entering, looking around she saw his bed slightly messy and sighed. So Merlin did sleep in his bed last night. "Merlin?" she called out.

Merlin lifted his hand up and pulled out his hand under water to stop his husband's movements.

"What's wrong?" Arthur asked.

"Shh."

"Merlin?" came Morgana's voice again.

"In here!" he called out.

"Merlin no."

"Arthur yes."

When Morgana walked in she stopped at the sight that greeted her. "Well how you both normally are out of all the things to walk in on this would be the last thing."

"Is everything alright Morgana?" Arthur asked as he brought his hands around the front and closed them over Merlin's cock.

Morgana lifted an eyebrow at her brother's movements. "Really?" she asked.

"Yes, the water is clear you can see everything and you are not seeing anything."

Morgana rolled her eyes and walked over to the table and sat down. "I knocked before going into Merlin's chambers I have seen that the bed has been slept in. That is what surprised me when I came in here and saw you both together like this."

Merlin smiled. "I slept in the same bed with Arthur last night Morgana, we had a little bicker this morning I went back to my own bed where he then invited me to join him. Is everything alright?"

"Yes. I just wanted to see how you were after last night. What did you two do stay up all night talking?"

"We stayed up for a while talking and got to the bottom of why we were how we were and now we have talked we are going to move forwards, take it slow."

"Take it slow? How long have you been married?"

Merlin laughed. "I know that Morgana but it has been over a year since we have touched."

"Well yes but you say you are taking it slowly and the first thing you do is have a bath together?"

Arthur frowned at his sister. "We can take it how we want to take it Morgana, we do what we feel comfortable doing."

Morgana smirked. "Okay, will you be continuing with court or am I to take over while you lock yourselves in here."

Merlin laughed. "Carrying on as normal."

Morgana stood up, "then I will leave you to it."

As soon as Morgana closed the door behind her Arthur placed his hands on Merlin's hips and helped him to stand, once stood he turned the brunet around. "Now then let's see if you are clean." he said, moving his hands forward to hold his husbands cock, smiling when he heard the brunet laugh.


Morgana was sat at the table in the great hall, her daughter at the side of her and Leon on their daughters other side. Leon had just picked up a spoonful of food and was about to give it to Sky when the doors opened and Arthur and Merlin walked in, looking up Morgana smiled when she saw Arthur's arm firmly around Merlin who was smiling. "Morning." she said.

"Good morning." Arthur replied.

Hearing Arthur's voice Sky looked up. "Arfa!" she shouted as she pushed her chair back and ran from the table to Arthur who laughed as he picked her up. "Morning beautiful. Are you eating your breakfast?"

"She wanted to wait for you, wouldn't eat until you came." Leon said.

Merlin laughed, "let's get some food in you then now that your uncle Arthur is here."

When everyone was seated and began to eat, Arthur having to share his breakfast with Sky, Morgana started to talk. "So why did you both go so long? Something Arthur did no doubt."

Merlin ran his hand down Arthur's arm and squeezed his hand. "No, it was both of us, but we have talked it through and we are getting there."

"You say you want the men training today Arthur?"

"Yes. I will come with you after breakfast."

"No you won't." Merlin said, leaning over so his lips were touching Arthur's ear he whispered. "You were in pain last night, today you rest, tomorrow you can train."

Arthur nodded. "On second thoughts Leon, give the men a day's break today, for tomorrow we train." Arthur turned to Morgana. "Can you watch over Camelot today?"

"Of course."

When breakfast was finished Arthur kissed his niece, telling her to be a good girl for her mum and dad and took Merlin's hand in his and left the great hall. "Arthur what do you have planned for the day?"

"Just go and get our horses and I will meet you there." Arthur said as he pulled Merlin close to him and kissed him passionately; dipping him slightly before standing them both back up. Placing a small kiss on Merlin's lips Arthur smiled. "I love you Merlin."

"I love you too Arthur." Merlin panted, placing his hand on the Kings cheek before walking away.


Merlin was stroking one of the many horses in the stables, he was whispering kindly to Arthur's horse, placing a small kiss there before stroking the horse some more. This was how Arthur found him. "I am jealous of my own horse."

Merlin turned and smiled when he saw his husband. "May I ask why?"

"He gets more attention and affection from you than I do."

"And whose fault was that?" Merlin asked as he smiled lovingly at his husband, looking down he saw the King holding a small rucksack. "What do you have in there?"

"That would be telling." Arthur smiled, kissing Merlin before helping him up onto the horse, getting on behind him. As they rode from the castle and over the drawbridge they passed Gwaine who was talking to a few knights. Arthur tightened his hold on Merlin given the newly appointed knight a look.

Merlin laughed. "Was that really necessary? He knows we are together and married he backed off as soon as he knew."

"He still looks though."

"There is nothing wrong with that. I have had others look at me that way but that is all they have done as they know I am yours and always will be."

"People look at you like Gwaine does? Who? Tell me."

Merlin laughed at his husband's possessiveness, how much he had missed it." So where are we going?"

"We are going to be alone for a while I had another word with Morgana we are not due back until tomorrow evening."

"Tomorrow evening? Just what do you have planned Arthur Pendragon?"

"What I have planned is for us to have some alone time where no one is knocking on our chamber doors asking questions, wanting advice."

"Your chambers."

"No Merlin darling, ours. Never are we sleeping alone again."

Merlin hummed and leaned back against his King, deciding to close his eyes and just enjoy the journey he took in his husband's arms. He must have fallen asleep because the next thing he knew Arthur was gently shaking him. "Wake up love we are here."

Merlin opened his eyes and looked around they were by a lakeside that was surrounded by trees. "Is this area secluded?"

"It is, we will not be disturbed that much I do know." Arthur answered as he got down and helped Merlin down before unloading the rucksack. While Arthur rummaged about in the rucksack Merlin took the horse for some water.

Merlin turned to see two bed rolls laying side by side some food set out and a few logs, Arthur was currently crouching down trying to light a fire, smirking Merlin decided to have a little fun with his husband, eyes glowing gold he laughed when Arthur jumped. "Fuck." he said, shaking his hand, "that came up quick!"

Merlin laughed. "Sorry I couldn't resist that."

Arthur stood up. "You - I'll get you."

Merlin laughed and started to run but Arthur soon caught up with him, pinning him flat on his back on the grass with the blond leaning over him. "I could get lost in those eyes of yours Merlin, so beautiful, how much of a fool was I to stop this, stop us being happy."

"Do not dwell on the past Arthur, we move onwards, forwards, I know we were going to take it slow but why do that, we are still the same people. My love for you has only grown."

"As has my love for you my darling."

Merlin blushed. "I have missed that endearment."

"I have missed calling it you, not as much as I have missed you though, your eyes." kiss, "nose," kiss, "cheekbones," kiss, "most of all I have missed your lips." he whispered capturing said lips with his own which soon turned passionate.

Merlin threw his arms up and buried his fingers in the blond locks and rolled them both over so he was on top, his hands went from the Kings hair running down his neck, shoulders, down his sides, he fingered the hem of Arthur's top before pushing his hands under it and moved his hand back up only this time on the Kings bare skin, rolling them back over Merlin moved his hands to Arthur's bare back.

"Merlin." Arthur panted, grinding his hips down, moaning when he felt his husband's erection digging into him.

Merlin threw his head back letting out a groan when he felt Arthur's cock dig into him, humming as Arthur moved down and covered his neck with kisses.

"How much I have missed this, missed you Arthur, wanted you, needed you, for so long."

"I'm a fool, stubborn fool."


As the sun started to set Arthur sat and watched as Merlin began to cook. "I told you I can do that."

"I want to do it, I love cooking, especially for you." Merlin said as he stirred the stew in the pot that sat over the fire.

Arthur stood up and walked over to Merlin before kneeling and bringing Merlin to him so the brunets back was against his front. "I plan to make love to you under the stars." he whispered in his husband's ear, smiling when he saw it made him shiver.

Merlin turned his head. "I want you in me quite a few times before we go back."

"I plan to be, I also plan in sleeping with my cock still buried in you tonight also."

Merlin moaned and reached back holding Arthur's head in place as he rubbed himself against his husband, humming in pleasure when he felt how hard his King was for him. "Any plans for after eating?" he moaned.

"Yes." Arthur whispered kissing Merlin's ear. "But will tell you when you need to know."


After they had eaten and Merlin washed up he returned to see Arthur asleep, he sighed "So much for you falling asleep buried in me Arthur." he said as he walked past his husband and into the forest where he started to collect firewood.

Arthur opened his eyes and smiled when he heard his husband walk away, he looked over his shoulder and when he couldn't see his husband he stood up and quickly stripped before walking into the lake. Looking above him he saw nothing but darkness and stars. "Perfect." he whispered.

Shivering at the coolness of the water Arthur moved around a bit before turning to face the bank, he looked down and saw that the water came to just below his navel, cupping water in his hands he raised his hands and let the water run down his chest.

Merlin went walking back to where he and Arthur were to spend the night, wood in his arms. "Darling."

Merlin looked up when he heard Arthur and felt his eyes go wide when he saw his husband stood in the lake. "Arthur? I thought you were asleep."

"And break my promise to you?" Arthur smiled. "Come and join me husband."

Merlin smiled as he dropped the wood. "Water might be cold."

"I will keep you warm."

Merlin needed no more persuading and stripped down to nothing before walking into the lake. He shivered as he walked further in. "Water is cold."

Arthur reached out and pulled the brunet closer to him. "We will warm each other up." he whispered before placing a gentle kiss on his husbands lips, he ran the back of his hand down Merlin's cheek as he deepened the kiss, his free arm going around the sorcerer, smiling into the kiss when he heard his husband moan, thrusting his tongue into Merlin's mouth the brunet gasped at the feel of their cocks touching in water.

"Arthur." Merlin moaned as he wrapped his arms around the Kings neck, one hand going into the blond's hair, throwing his head back exposing his neck which his husband took full advantage of with his lips and tongue and teeth.

He pulled back to make sure Arthur saw his eyes flash gold.

"What have you done?" Arthur asked.

Smiling Merlin moved his head forwards and made sure his lips brushed against his husband's ear. "Something I haven't done in over a year, magically prepared myself Arthur, I want you in me." he whispered, his hand trailing down the muscled chest, taut stomach and finally under water where he grasped his King's hard cock. Smiling more when he heard his husband groan.

"Oh Merlin."

"I want this in me my love."

Arthur gave his husband a chaste kiss before placing his hands on the brunet's waist and picked him up; Merlin wrapped his legs around his husband's waist, his arms around those broad shoulders.

Arthur walked a little further out of the water until the water was up to his thigh, lifting his husband higher he looked down and slowly lowered Merlin, both of them moaning at the feeling of being with each other in the most intimate of ways again after so long.

Backing back Arthur carried on until the water was to his chest, tightening his hold he started to thrust up as he brought Merlin down hard.

Merlin holding on for dear life began to bounce as much as he could, his fingertips trailing down the Kings back leaving marks the faster he and Arthur got.

Arthur moved his head forwards and took one of the brunet's dusky nipples into his mouth and began to nip and suck making his sorcerer scream in ecstasy, his head thrown back.

"Yes Arthur! Yes!"

"Oh gods. Oh Merlin." Arthur panted as he began to thrust up as Merlin slammed down. "Oh Merlin it has been too long I don't think I can last."

Merlin surprised his husband by stilling and letting his legs slide down causing his husband to slip out of him.

Arthur frowned, confusion on his face when Merlin backed away. "Merlin?"

"It has been thirteen months Arthur. You are not coming yet." Taking his husbands hand Merlin led them out of the water and onto their bedrolls where he laid down, taking the blond with him. He reached down and took hold of his husbands cock. "I want this in me when sleeping tonight."

"I better put it back in then." Arthur said making them both laugh. Giving his husband a gentle kiss Arthur lined his cock up to his husband's entrance before slowly moving forwards, filling his husband up once more.

"Yes." Merlin moaned, his head thrown back. "So long, I want it Arthur, hard and fast!"

"Oh yes Merlin." Arthur panted as his thrusts got faster and harder, moving his hands to his husband's legs, wrapping them around his waist.

Merlin moved his arms up to wrap them around the Kings neck as he dug his heels into the blonds arse, pushing himself down each time Arthur thrust into him. "Art... Arthur tou...touch me."

Arthur reached down and took hold of his husbands cock, giving it a firm squeeze before tugging it in time with his thrusts.

Merlin came screaming Arthur's name with Arthur following seconds later filling up the man under him with all he had, he dropped down onto his husband. "Never Merlin am I going so long without that again." he panted.

Merlin chuckled. "Me either Arthur."
