Early morning snuggles (the morning after) (Ed/Stede)
Random takes and scenes in space and time for various fandoms I love as inspired by Fanart and the Fandom in general.
Their first morning waking up together in the same bed. Snuggling while enjoying… breakfast. (Actual edibles to follow later when they wake up again).
Filling in the blanks for S2E06/07.
A follow-up to my other story "Can we just… take things slowly?"
Part of Fandom Shorts / Ed/Stede series
Early morning snuggles (the morning after)
"Mornin' darlin'."
Their bodies still tangled together, limb for limb, skin on skin under the warmth of the blanket, neither of them wanting to let go of the other. Feelings of familiarity and belonging having taken over.
"Good mornin' sweetheart."
Yawning, stretching, the aches of the romp in the ole hay still felt by both as neither of them was getting any younger. But it was all the good kind of pain. The muscles sore from trying something new and different or then just simply using them for purposes not on the daily menu.
"Sleep well?"
It had indeed been a short night's sleep for them both, but not without rest. The usual tossing and turning all but forgotten. The calm having taken over instead. The happiness and satisfaction as well.
"I did. Not long, but granted, soundly for sure. I was actually having really sweet dreams too… Of you my dear."
A surprise plastered onto Ed's face. Such compliments usually not given to him. Certainly not after… well… sex. Thanks mate, yes. It was good, for sure. But this… someone having dreamt, of him. Ed. An it was Stede. His Stede saying it.
"Oh, well… heh… I guess I should be, flattered then?"
Smiling gingerly Stede reached out with his hand, placing it gently on Ed's face. Caressing the familiar planes of his lover.
"You should be love." Pausing only to stare into the most gorgeous bedroom eyes Stede had ever seen. "You made me feel so good I could only have nice dreams because of it. And only of you my dear."
There was no embarrassment while hearing the words spoken by his lover. Only feelings of adequacy, acceptance and love. For sure they had moved to the main course rather fast despite their attempts and agreement of taking things slow. And yet this all felt so good, totally right. As if it was meant to be. The two of them, together.
"So, I guess… you liked what we did then? Some of it at least?"
Ed was carefully probing suddenly. Even if he had kind of felt it, seen it but of course. Stede enjoying their lovemaking as much as Ed had. And judging from the sounds and well, their shared bliss, very much so. But guess it would be nice to hear the fact spoken with words as well.
And yes, they had done a lot for sure. Experimentation as Stede had commented. Stede's kind of a first with someone like Ed. First with a man that was. So, yes, it had been all new and exiting and sometimes a tad fumbling for sure. But in a good way. The giggles filling the silent night among the moans, growls and pleads of… the more.
Stede's grin grew impossibly wide. Turning to his partner in crime, Stede pulled Ed in for a kiss. A slow but deliberate, somewhat probing one yet mostly languid. It was still dark outside, still early, so there was no hurry for them to get up. It was hours away from sunrise. Not that there really was a hurry anyway. They were the co Captains after all of this, wayward group of pirates. Their family.
"I did my love. All of it. Every single thing."
Ed too smiled. Grinned proudly. The words of his lover stroking his ego among other places. It felt good to be wanted, to be cared for. To be in the arms of someone like Stede. His Stede. His… love.
Ed did not respond with words. His hand gently roaming the smooth planes of Stede's nakedness. The cool night air together with his caresses causing goosebumps to rise wherever the exposed skin was touched.
Feeling bolder by each passing moment Ed was refamiliarizing with Stede's body, the soft sights urging Ed to continue on with his explorations once again. The slowness of his intentions becoming more and more impossible to follow with the noises erupting from Stede. The stirring urgency of his ministrations inside of himself evident as much as it clearly was affecting the object of his desire.
Oh well! Slow was overrated anyway!
"Tell me what you want, my love."
"You…" Stede managed, his voice going coarse. "I want you…. Sweetheart. All of you. Now!"
"Then you shall have me, darlin'!"
The soft chuckle broke the moment, but it was all good.
Ed switched their positions, Stede finding himself under the man suddenly as their mouths were locking in a heated and needy kiss. Tongues duelling for dominance, tasting, probing, suckling, nipping… who needed breakfast anyway? At least the food variety!
This was so, so much better! Nothing comparing to this, feeling, the sensations of being one with an other person.
Living of their touches, their shared love for the other… possible perhaps? Well, at least until hunger beckoned. That of the food variety. But there would be plenty of time for that later. Now, all they needed was each other. Skin on skin as the two moved in unison to the low humming sounds of the night still upon them. Continuing until the morning shine.
