"Darling, I was just thinking about you." Astarion starts as you walk up to him at his tent. "I was just remembering our time together, the things we've shared – "He takes the slightest pause as his eyes undress you. "And I don't just mean that lovely neck of yours." A chill runs down your spine and you swallow hard. You and Astarion had come to a deal of sorts over the last tenday. You give him permission to feed on you and he'd make sure to protect you in battle. However, nearly every night he feeds he teases you. Not on purpose, or at least you don't think it's on purpose. It leaves you on the edge, left to finish yourself, leaving you wanting more. Suddenly his voice snaps you back to reality. "I'm growing to like the whole package honestly. And you clearly like me too, so…" he trails off. You figured you just had a mutually beneficial arrangement. Could he really tell your desires, your feelings that easily?

"…So?" You ask, trying to see what he's hinting at. For all you know, this is more fake flattery from his years of seducing people for Cazador.

"Come now, don't be coy. Your body's already given you away." Astarions voice deepens, it sounds breathier, desperate almost. "I could feel it as I was getting lost in your neck. Your little shakes of excitement…" Fuck you think to yourself. You were hoping he hadn't noticed how your body reacted to him. You wanted this to stay casual, you didn't want him to know he had you under his thumb. "You enjoyed it, didn't you?" His eyes pierce through to your soul. He isn't looking for an answer, he already knows. Before you can say anything, he continues, "You don't have to say a thing – I already know how you feel. Because I feel it too."

You can feel your cheeks get warm and it's taking every bit of your constitution to stay focused on the conversation. Astarion quickly takes notice of your blushing and smiles as he continues. "We could take an evening to ourselves. Get away from camp – "he lowers his voice again to that sultry tone, "get some privacy. I know somewhere quiet. Somewhere intimate. Somewhere we can… indulge in each other."

With a gulp and a deep breath, you answer him. "That sounds delightful Astarion."

"Wonderful, darling." At this point you can tell he's playing this act up; he's not actually confessing his feelings. He's manipulating you. He wants something. But he knows how you feel, and he knows how to use that to his advantage. His facial expression changes into puppy dog eyes and a pout, "I just hope we don't have to wait too long before we can steal away. But once we can, I promise you a night you'll never forget. See you there, Lover." He winks and then goes back about his business.

You feel butterflies in your stomach as you realize what you've fantasized about as Astarion drank from your neck all those nights are about to come true. Your nether region aches and throbs with desire. You still have at least an hour before everyone in camp calls it a night and you have a chance to sneak away. With that in mind, you realize you should clear your mind to the best of your abilities and might as well freshen up while you're at it.

Wandering over to Shadowheart she is quick to put her guard up. "Need something?" She quickly snaps at you.

"I was wondering if you'd start up dinner for everyone while I washed up? I know its getting late and I'm sure we are all ready to rest after fighting those gnolls earlier." You hope this isn't too much to ask of her as you've still struggled to get her to open up about anything.

She gives you an inquisitive look and softens her expression, "Of course. It's the least I can do considering you saved me from those monsters on the Nautoloid. Go freshen up, dinner will be done by the time you are."

You give her a quick nod of approval and thanks, then make your way to Karlach. The fiery teifling is always in such a good mood, but to be fair if you'd been stuck in the hells against your will for ten years and we're finally back on the material plane you'd be elated too. As you approach you see her humming and dancing to herself, smiling with her eyes shut. To make sure you don't startle her you make your presence known with a quick "Hey Karlach!"

She snaps herself back into reality and meets your gaze, "Hey Soldier, what can I do ya for?"

You look at your feet, you always feel guilty asking her to be your personal water heater. You know she's still unable to touch anyone even with Dammon's upgrade, and how pent up she is. It probably drives her crazy and bathing with near everyone probably doesn't help.

"I hate to ask but I was wondering…" you start but Karlach cuts you off mid-sentence.

"You need to clean off after those gnolls and want me to warm the water? You don't have to feel bad asking me. I'll take any chance I get to be able to be in actual water again. Plus, helps me cool off my engine! Beats bathing in the rivers of blood in Avernus too." She was always so optimistic, something you truly appreciated her for with these dire circumstances. "Well soldier what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Karlach is already down to her underwear as you approach the river, throwing her clothes off as she trots over. As she wades into the water, now fully nude mind you, she gives you an encouraging wave to come join. You slowly take your clothes off as you see the water start to steam around her. She's very thoughtful and makes sure to keep the water moving around her so that there is a consistent temperature as you wade in. As you get to your underwear though you're reminded of your plans with Astarion. Your wetness has soaked your underwear and as you slide them off strands of it cling to the source, practically dripping at this point. Luckily Karlach was in her own world, you can only imagine what seeing your arousal would do to her after she confided in you about how much she misses sex. You quickly wade into the river and get near to her. Being careful not to get too close as the water was practically boiling where it touched her skin and you know she would never be able to forgive herself if she hurt you. As you begin to wash up, Karlach slips back into her own little world. Humming, eyes closed, and water up to her chin now. She looked so happy, so content. She may not be able to be touched by anyone yet, but you were going to make sure you'd find a way to fix that for her.

After getting dressed again, food was done. Everyone gathered by the fire and ate, well everyone but Astarion. Another of the downsides of his affliction that the tadpole didn't help with, eating food made him sick. Blood was still the only thing he could consume, though his dinner wasn't too far off. As your mind wandered to the feeling of his fangs in your neck, your arousal came back full force. It takes everything you can to ignore the feeling and finish your meal. The anticipation of being his meal however left your cheeks red and hot, your underwear starting to cling to your wetness, and your heart fluttering. Luckily none of the party seemed to notice, well none that were by the fire with you. From behind you however, you could feel Astarions gaze. You didn't even need the tadpole in your head to feel that.

Everyone finished their food and retreated to their tents quickly. You made up an excuse as to why you weren't tired yet and sat by the fire a while longer. As everyone settled into their bed rolls, Astarion joins you by the fire, sitting next to you.

"Here's my little treat. With their cheeks all flushed." He gently caresses your face as he says it, sending shivers down your spine. "You are still planning to come to my bed tonight?" All you can do is nod as confirmation as you are sure any noise you make will end up being a moan. "Well now darling, don't look so nervous. I don't bite, well, not without asking first. Should I make the offer more enticing? I need to make sure you know just how delectable of a treat you are." His face and voice are much sultrier now. He stands up and offers you a hand, gratefully you take it to steady yourself as you get up; your legs already shaking. Astarion smirks as he notices this but continues on, "Let's see… Every part of your perfect body whispers temptation. It is as if the gods made you just to ruin me."

You know these are most definitely the same lines he must've used for his past victims. Even though your heart is racing in anticipation, you can't help but tease him for his cheap lines. You look at him, a smirk on your face. "If I didn't know any better, I may have just believed those words." You say to him "What else do you have up your sleeve?"

"Hmm-"he thinks a moment, staring at the ground "Let me give it another go. How about if I said these little words? Everyone's favorite." His red eyes pierce yours, his expression softening. "I love you."

Your heart skips a beat "You'd be lying."

"Ha!" He exclaims, "but a rather beautiful lie, nonetheless. As much as I relish standing around and saying all my favorite lines at you, I'd much rather experience each other's full portfolio of talent. Shall we?" He holds out a hand and gestures towards the forest behind camp. You grab his hand with yours and follow him.

After no more than a minute of walking you find yourself in a secluded clearing. There's even a bedroll laid out, wine, and candles. When did he have time to set this all up? You wonder to yourself. Your attention is brought back to Astarion, he'd found enough time to remove his shirt. His pale skin glowing in the moonlight, his chest chiseled and hairless. The sight was breathtaking, it's no wonder vampires are known to lure in their prey easily. "I've been waiting. Waiting since the moment I laid eyes on you." He pauses, looking you down and back up again. "Waiting to have you." His head cocks to the side slightly as his eyes flick down to your lips. An invitation no doubt. You lean in, arms wrapping around his neck as your lips meet. Immediately the kiss turns passionate, your hot lips melting into his cold ones. You both let little moans of excitement escape, his fingers trailing down your back and hooking under your shirt. He breaks the kiss just long enough to pull your shirt off, and then his lips meet yours again. More desperately this time, sloppier. You feel the tip of his tongue trace your lower lip, begging for entrance to your mouth. You quickly oblige and your tongues meet, teeth clacking together gently. As you swirl your tongue with his, tasting each others mouths, his hands wander back down your back. He stops at the top of your underwear, his thumbs gracefully teasing the skin below the fabric, sending a shiver through you and causing a moan to escape from you. Your reactions excite him even more. He breaks the kiss, strings of saliva still between you. You're panting and the heat of your breath fogs the air as he suddenly grabs your ass and lifts you. Instinctively your legs wrap around his waist as he presses your back against the nearest tree and resumes the kiss. His tongue is more aggressive this time, exploring your mouth, while his long and nimble fingers lightly tease your lower lips through your panties. As he feels your wetness soaking through he lets out a feral growl/moan mixture, his hips pressing against you so you can feel his hard member through his pants. He moans again as he breaks the kiss, looking at your neck. Knowing he wants to feed you expose your neck for him but to your surprise he doesn't bite. He begins trailing light kisses down your jawline and neck, along your collarbone. As he comes back up his expression is soft, he kisses your cheek and holds your eyes with his as he carries you to the bedroll and lays you down. Your chest is heaving as you try to catch your breath, but just as quickly as he carried you over, his dexterous fingers remove your underwear.

He kisses his way down your body, your back arching in the process. Right as his lips get past your hips, he stops, locking eyes with you once more. His voice is deep and breathy "Darling, I've been waiting to taste you – all of you"

You whimper at his words, knowing what's coming next. Just as quickly as the noise escapes your throat, his cold tongue is rubbing your clit in circles as his lips form the lightest vacuum seal around it. He's slow and methodical with his movements, careful not to let his fangs touch your sensitive area, trying to elicit as much noise from you as possible. He quickly finds the perfect rhythm, holding down your hips as they try to buck. Your moans become quieter as your breathing quickens and the warmth in your abdomen spreads. All at the same time you feel the warmth explode, your muscles tighten and spasm, and you moan Astarions name as you orgasm. He pulls his lips away just slightly to lap at your pussy as you come down from your first climax. With every pass of his tongue that flicks your clit a moan escapes your lips. Suddenly his lips are on yours, your juices covering his mouth and chin. His tongue assaults your mouth as he makes quick work of his pants. Suddenly, you feel his thumb rubbing those same circles on your clit as the rest of his hand holds your hips down. You feel the tip of his member dripping precum down onto your entrance. As you try to raise your hips to guide him in he shoves them back down.

He pulls away from the kiss as you whine. "Ah ah ah. Not yet darling. I'm not through with you just yet."

You whine as you get closer to climax again "Please Astarion." All you want is to feel him inside of you.

"Please what? Beg for me, my love." He demands as your muscle's spasm into a second orgasm. He lightens his touch to just a light caress as you quiver.

"Please fuck me. Please Astarion. I want you." You say as you pant and wiggle your hips.

His smile widens, "And you'll have me." He moves his hand from you hip, shoving his cum soaked thumb into your mouth as his other fingers curl under your chin. He gently uses his grip on your jaw to turn your head to the side, exposing your neck. You knew what was coming next but you weren't expecting how much pleasure it would bring. Astarion gently kisses down your neck until he is right at your vein, then as he bites and the icy shock of it hits you, he penetrates your opening with his member. He lets out a guttural moan as your warm blood fills his mouth and he slides right into your warm pussy. As he thrusts into you, you raise your hips to meet his, inviting him to fuck you deeply. He pounds you hard and rhythmically, slowly quickening his pace. He pulls his teeth from your neck just as you start to feel light headed, and laps at the punctures to stop your bleeding. He moves his hand from your jaw onto the flat ground to steady himself. Then, his bloody lips crash against yours in one final, long kiss. You taste a mixture of your juices with the thick iron taste of blood on his tongue. His grunts grow louder and louder until you feel him thrust deep and slow as he cums. The feeling pushes you to your final orgasm as you climax with him, tightening and holding his shaft inside of you. After a few moments breaks away from the kiss and kisses your forehead. Drowsily he mumbles "Thank you." Before pulling his member out of you. The sensation of no longer being filled causes you to whine instinctively. "Not satisfied darling?" He asks as he rolls onto his back.

You turn over to rest your head on his chest, curling up to him. "No, I'm perfectly satisfied. Thank you for tonight." You near instantly fall asleep, wondering what could be with Astarion in the future.
