Chapter 5

But they weren't getting any luck that night...

Marian came back into the room excited and miraculously calm. She chalked that up to experience. This was no longer her first time with Fenris. Her nerves were calm, because she trusted him to take care of her, also because the awkwardness of seeing your close friend's naked body was gone. That awkwardness only happens that first time and she knew this to be true by the way Fenris had calmed too. His heart might be racing out of his chest, but his posture concealed all insecurities, with his chest bare, shoulders high, back straight, hands casually gripping the edge of the bed at either of his sides, legs clothed, but spread wide open for her to come in between, and a cocky grin that told her he wasn't going to run away this time.

She's beautiful. Why did I ever run?

Fenris's eyes were magnets to her bare skin, stuck to the surface and naturally pulling her to him. Her and her clean face, makeup free, but still so bright and blushed thanks to his charm. Maker, what did he do right? She looked so phenomenal in her kimono styled black silk robe that ran low on her neck and high on her thighs with elbow length sleeves and tiny, unnecessary pockets on her bosoms. Every pore in Fenris was releasing sweat, but he was calm. Oh, he was calm. Only because she had her hands on his shoulders and had moved in between his legs. Calm because she was not scared to be with him. Calm because she had it in her heart to take him back after what he did. Yes, for once in Fenris's screwed over life he felt calm, at peace- knowing that there was still some goodness in the world and that he could have it. " Marian~"

How could he focus with her bosoms giving off that delicious aroma?

How could she focus when his voice was like all of heavens angels singing at once?

" Fenris." She lifted his head up and took his mouth for herself. Whenever he moaned she swore she saw heavens gates, and she did everything she could to get him to moan, but alas they did not have the luck they needed.

Just as Fenris was simultaneously marking her neck with tentative sucks and running his fingers up behind her plump ass to meld her shape, voices were heard downstairs and barking from the Mabaris'.

" Hawke don't go. Let them wait. " Fenris was untying her robe. Or trying to as she inched away from his hungry kisses down her chest.

She wanted him, but she had her responsibilities, but damn them why did they have to come now? Did Thedas not understand how difficult it was to catch a Fenris in the mood? But, she couldn't just ignore the danger that her friends could be in. She was their protector. All of them.

His hands almost had it if she'd just stop squirming." Stay still. " He growled showing a few of his elfy fangs. Fenris always had some sharp teeth. When he threatened her with them she admittedly melted. He knew this.

She stopped moving and he untied the robe within 3 seconds. When it fell she gasped and his look of complete devotion did not go unnoticed. He didn't care about the people downstairs because those people and their problems did not matter, not now after Hawke had said she loved him. He was going to show his undying loyalty to her, before anyone else could. But he realized that she wasn't as selfish as him. That if he truly wanted her as happy as he was in this moment he'd have to stop.

Besides Danarius was still alive. He couldn't tie her down with that. Didn't want her to worry or stress about him or any of his problems. It just felt inherently wrong to love her at the same time he brought her danger.

And now he was swallowing his desire and guilt by staring at her with pouting eyes. " I suppose I can wait. If you will be happier. " Because I love you back.

Looking down at her own blushing body and plump breasts Marian realized two things. One, that she was extremely exposed to her elf , and two, that he was not taking full advantage of her exposed body and vulnerability. Why?

" Fenris, I put this on for you. I kissed you because you are what I want. Right now and for the rest of my life. If Aveline even thinks about banging on my door then so help her we will make our moans and screams loud enough to scare her away. Sound good?"

Talk about pressure. Fenris didn't even think he was that good to her the first time. Despite what she said. He felt she needed a more experienced lover.

He swallowed his fear for her. " Sounds better than good. " Fenris held her eyes until she blushed and looked aside. When she did that he was stirred to a frenzy to have her eyes again. He growled something feral and pulled her face to his.

For a split second she swore he was going to say the words. Instead she got something less romantic.
They were right they had scared Aveline away with the words that were said and the silence. Her mind probably understood and freaked out about walking in. They were wrong though to think they were safe. Isabela was not so scared of risqué behavior. She had picked the locks and was standing 5 feet behind them.

" Hawke we need to talk!" Apparently she was disinterested with them continuing. That was a first. After a quick peck to Fenris's cheek Hawke retied her robe and got off the gorgeously shirtless elf.

This better be worth it.

"What is it?"

A thud interrupted Isabela. It was Aveline's shield bursting through the room with Aveline behind it. She was adorably innocent at times. " Are you two decent? I need to talk before Isabela does. "

" No they are completely naked in front of us and going at it, dear maker you are a foolish ram."

" Shut-up whore." Aveline dropped her shield taking hint of the sarcasm.

" This is serious Hawke we both need to talk to you. Although my issue is more important. Mine has to do with saving the city. Your pirate friend here only wants to save herself."

" You're right. Shame on me for not worrying about strangers when my life is at stake. "
Hawke touched Isabela's arm to calm her and Fenris stayed on the bed. He was too hard to move. He'd show if he moved. Besides he didn't want to lose his courage and if he left now or walked away he may have to go without Hawke's kissing and touch for another year or so. Whenever Danarius showed up. And he couldn't. Even months were too much to be apart. He watched her as she soothed their friend.

"What are you talking about Isabela, who wants to kill you?"

" Castillon is after me. "

With a hard gulp Hawke made the decision right there.

" Then why are we not killing him yet?"

Isabela's eyes bugged out of her head and her beaming smile roamed all the way up her cheeks to crease her eyes. She hadn't expected anyone to ever care for her so much. Truly if Fenris didn't marry Marian soon, Isabela would snatch her away. She jumped on Hawke and gave a giant hug. Pressing every ounce of her body into the other woman. Her foot even popped as her arms wrapped around the neck of Hawke.

" I could kiss you Marian!" She said which had Aveline throwing out a few gagging noises.

" No need. You're my friend. It's what I do for friends. No need to thank me. "

This had all in the room smiling. Fenris especially. If Hawke would do so much for a friend, he believed she'd give the world for him. And he had never had someone care so much.
Aveline left with a " Talk to you after you've finished with her then Hawke."

For Isabela it was harder to leave. She really just wanted to thank Hawke over and over in the only way she knew how-sex. And she stared at the woman luridly until Hawke reminded her Fenris was in the room.
" Marian, still so innocent. I've had an audience while sharing a bed before. "

Fenris eventually couldn't take it. He was too frustrated to have Isabela get to Hawke first. " Leave pirate and maybe tomorrow I'll tell you the color of my undergarments."

" You're bluffing. "

Fenris walked up to her and took her hand. " If you leave now and make sure no one comes in this room for the next ..." He looked to Marian with a smug smirk and feral glare. " 5 hours..."
Marian blushed. Wow was she about to have the time of her life.

" Then I'll even purposely throw a game of poker or diamondback and you get all my winnings. "
Isabela gave Fenris a handshake and then walked herself out. Passing by Hawke and giving a wink with a whispered, " Have fun." On the way out.

The instant the door shut Fenris was on her . It appears they were going to get lucky that night.
