Rolling over, Merlin smiles, thinking about the previous evening, Arthur did bring him to his flat, just as he said he would. They didn't really do any more than watch movies, making comments through them. They'd even shared a bowl of ice cream. At one point he'd been silly in his efforts to make Arthur laugh, but once he'd heard him genuinely laugh he'd wanted to hear it again and again. The highlight of the evening as far as Merlin was concerned was when they'd been snuggling on the couch together. Arthur had pulled him against his chest, resting his chin on the top of Merlin's head and had held him. They'd fallen asleep like that. It had been nice; the whole evening had been nice.
"Good morning sleeping beauty, I was beginning to think that you were never going to wake up," looking over the top of the couch he smiles seeing Arthur leaning in the door of the kitchen, coffee mug in hand.
"Good morning to you as well, have you been awake long?"
"Long enough" Arthur replies. "Would you like a cup of coffee, some breakfast perhaps?"
"That would be a switch, you making me coffee" Merlin says teasingly with a smirk. Arthur raises an eyebrow, a smile on his face. "Get up you lazy idiot, If you lay there much longer I may consider charging rent."
Laughing Merlin stretches and stands at the same time. He makes his way to where Arthur is still standing in the kitchen doorway, amusement and mischief lighting his piercing blue eyes. Merlin tries to squeeze by him but Arthur reaches out quickly and wraps an arm around his waist pulling him back, flush against his body, leaning forward to press a kiss on Merlin's neck.
"You are entirely to delectable first thing in the morning." He whispers against his neck. Merlin leans his head back against Arthur's shoulder. He shivers as Arthur sucks gently on his neck, licking a hot wet line to his ear.
"Arthur….please, I…I thought we had plans to…" Arthur continues back down, nipping at the hollow of his neck. Turning he pulls Arthur to his lips, kissing him with longing, "Screw the plans, better yet, screw me," Arthur chuckles against his lips.
"I very much want to Merlin, but before I give in there are a few things that you should know first." Arthur cradles the back of his head, forcing Merlin to look in to his eyes. "First I don't do one offs", his lips are hovering right above Merlin's, his breath hot and moist causing Merlin to tremble. His other hand slides down to Merlin's arse pulling him tightly against him, Merlin feels how hard Arthur is, and Arthur rolls his hips, rubbing against Merlin's own hardness.
"Second, I do not and will not share, if you agree, I will consider you mine Merlin." Arthur closes his mouth over Merlin's, sliding his tongue on his lip till he opens to allow him access. Merlin groans as Arthur's tongue takes possession of his mouth, claiming it for his own. He clings to Arthur as if he is his own personal life line. He hears himself whimper as Arthur literally rips the shirt from this body, feeling his mouth hot against his skin.
Arthur nips at his nipple and Merlin's hands shoot up to slide his hands into all that soft blonde hair, " Yes or no Merlin" Arthur growls against his stomach, his hands on the waist band of Merlin's pants. He licks a wet line around Merlin's belly button before dipping in. Merlin feels like he is on fire, trembling for want of this man.
"Arthur, please!"
"Yes or no Merlin" He feels that hot, hot breath against his skin.
"Yes, Arthur please!" he feels Arthur smile against him before his pants are undone and pulled down, his legs each lifted to free the pants from his feet. He gasps in surprise as Arthur lifts him, carrying him down the hall to throw him down on the bed. He leans up as Arthur quickly undresses revealing the hard muscled body that Merlin knew was under his clothes. This is the body he's dreamed of since their dance at the club.
Arthur grabs his ankles and pulls him till he's on the edge of the bed; placing kisses on the insides of his thighs, moving up to take his hard length into his mouth. Tossing his head from side to side Merlin groans at the tight wet heat of Arthur's mouth. He is lost in sensation, swept into the undertow of Arthur's passion.
He doesn't feel Arthur raise his legs onto the bed, bent at the knees. His eyes fly open as he feels two fingers slide into him. Arthur suddenly sucks hard, using his tongue on the veiny underside of his cock, scissoring his fingers to widen Merlin out, and then flexing his fingers to rub against the hidden bundle of nerves.
"Oh fuck Arthur, yes!" Merlin screams arching off the bed, coming hard. His body quakes with the aftershocks as Arthur sucks every last drop from him. While he is still flying in the clouds Arthur put him in, his legs are placed over Arthur's broad shoulders, he whimpers and arches as he feels Arthur sliding into him. When Arthur is fully seated inside of him he stills, placing a hand on Merlin's cheek.
"Open your eyes love," Arthur says.
Merlin flights the haze he is in to open his eyes as Arthur wants. Arthur's eyes are blazing with desire and something else that Merlin can't place right at the moment. Arthur draws back then slides back in, he suddenly lifts Merlin to place two pillows under his arse, when Arthur pulls out and rolls his hips then slams back in Merlin tosses his head from side to side, whimpering again like this Arthur will rub against his prostrate with every stroke.
"Fuck Merlin, you are so sexy like this, so mine." Arthur picks up the speed, setting an almost punishing pace. Merlin groans as he feels the heat building quickly in his stomach again. He knows that it won't take long, not like this, that it will be intense.
Arthur bends over him gripping his hair, kissing him. "Tell me what I want to hear Merlin, do it now", Merlin is lost to this man.
"Arthur, please! Oh God Please!"
Arthur slows his speed but not the force he is using. "Who does this belong to Merlin, tell me." He pulls back till just the head is inside. He rolls Merlin's nipples between his fingers, pulling slightly. He slams back in, "Tell me Merlin, and I'll give you what you want."
Merlin reaches down to touch his hard, aching cock, but Arthur grabs his writs and pulls them above his head. He licks Merlin's lip and Merlin groans, his tongue sliding against Arthurs. Sliding back out and rolling his hips Arthur places kisses all over his face.
"Tell me Merlin. Let me hear it" Arthur picks the speed back up, Merlin's eyes flutter back into his head. He comes all over his chest sobbing "you Arthur, this is yours, I belong to you!" At that Arthur kisses Merlin fiercely.
"Damn right this is mine Merlin. You are mine and no one will ever see you like this again except me". Merlin feels Arthur's cock kicking inside of him.
Merlin lays there with his eyes closed coming down from the very high place Arthur has taken him. He feels full filled; it has never been like this for him with anyone else, ever. He feels a wet cloth wiping him down and he smiles. When Arthur gets back into bed, and pulls Merlin back into his arms, he sighs contentedly and snuggles in closer; drifting peacefully.
Arthur feels relaxed and amused as he watches Merlin fidget on the drive over to Gwen and Lance's on Sunday afternoon for dinner. "Nervous or sore," he asks him. Merlin snorts and rolls his eyes.
"Only slightly nervous but extremely sore; we are going to have to teach you to take better care of your playthings Arthur." He says sternly.
Laughing he reaches over to squeeze Merlin's leg affectionately. "I always take care of what's mine Merlin, depend on it." Merlin's face flushes clean to the tops of his ears, it's adorable.
"Besides, you have absolutely nothing to be nervous about, they'll love you, and Gwen will probably go out of her way to make you feel welcome and comfortable, that's just the way she is and one of the many reason's she's my best mate."
Pulling up in front of Gwen and Lance's flat, Arthur turns off the car, jumping out to rush around to Merlin's side to open the door and help him out. As they walk to the door Arthur places his hand at the small of Merlin's back. He knows that contrary to what Merlin says that he is nervous about this meeting. Arthur wants him to feel as comfortable as possible.
Gwen is already standing in the doorway, holding the door open, her smile warm, "Hello! I'm Gwen. We didn't really get to meet the other night, but I'm so glad that you came with Arthur today."
Arthur smiles fondly at Gwen as she gives Merlin a hug, and surprisingly Merlin flashes that incredible smile of his and hugs Gwen back. "Well come on, come meet Lance. He's excited to meet you as well."
Merlin is enjoying being with Arthur's closest friend and her boyfriend; he can easily see why she is Arthur's best mate. Gwen is open, honest and friendly, and Lance is warm, caring and funny.
"So Merlin, tell me how you find working with Arthur," Gwen asks.
Sighing Merlin sits on a stool at the kitchen island. "Well, he can be very difficult sometimes; he is demanding and very intense mostly." Smiling and shrugging he continues, "Even though he acts like a prat most of the time he is really very kind and considerate."
Gwen reaches out and squeezes his hand that is lying on the counter. "I am pleased that you can see Arthur clearly even in such a short span of time. Arthur is also fiercely loyal to those he's close to. He really is a spectacular friend, but don't tell him, his head is already too big." Merlin laughs in surprise.
"I am going to ask a completely nosey question Merlin and you don't have to answer if you don't want to. How do you feel about Arthur?"
Gwen is completely serious and his reply is just as serious. "Arthur blows me away with what he makes me feel. I've never met anyone like him, even though we are different in a lot of aspects I feel as if he's the missing piece I've been searching for my entire life. I'm not sure if I'm the flavor of the moment or if Arthur is always like this with the people he's involved with. I've never been scared before, but I'm scared now because no one has ever ruled my heart before and there is no doubt that Arthur is its King."
Blushing Merlin covers his face while Gwen laughs in delight. "Oh Merlin, I think you are a breath of fresh air, you are just what Arthur needs to shake him out of his stuffy moods at times. Don't worry; your secrets are safe with me. Now, let's have dinner shall we?"
They were both quiet during the ride to Merlin's flat, each lost in their own thoughts. Merlin was tired yet very happy. Arthur had finally given in to their mutual attraction, hopefully that would help on the work front. Merlin knew that he wouldn't have any problems separating his Arthur from the one he dealt with at work.
When he parked the car just a little down from Merlin's flat, he again got out to open the door for Merlin. Instead of backing up to give Merlin space he placed a hand on top of the car and held the top of the passenger door, effectively blocking Merlin between his body and the open door.
Merlin smiled and placed a chaste kiss on Arthur's lips. "Thank you for this weekend Arthur, it was great. I really enjoyed meeting Gwen and Lance."
"You are welcome Merlin, it was my pleasure," Arthur says smiling in return before pulling Merlin against him for a deeper kiss. Satisfaction ran through him when Merlin angled his body to fit closer against his, wrapping his arms around his waist. Ending the kiss Arthur steps back and caresses Merlin's cheek.
"Off with you now, get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow."
He waits till Merlin enters the building before getting back in the car. Arthur thinks about the entire week one the drive home, he smiles as he turns the radio up and hears Savage Garden's I knew I loved you, singing softly with the music he is crystal clear that he will do anything in his considerable power to insure that Merlin stays in his life.
