Short notes- Half chapter, sexual situations, enjoy.
Long notes - The next half of this chapter shouldn't be too long, just struggling with a few bits.
As this chapter is explicit, if anybody would prefer me to upload a separate none- explicit version for them to read instead do let me know.
This is not what I originally had planned, I wasn't originally going to have the Team Awesome, Cassunzel moments, or any mentioning of the night before. But I just felt it would be fun to bring all the other characters back into it.
Warnings(for both parts of the chapter): Oh boy, here we go – fingering, blow jobs (never written that one before!), ejaculation, joking mentions of premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, rough sex with a little restraint, a little biting, scratching ect.. some simply terrible euphemisms for orgasming because let's face it's impossible to write a sex scene without them, Swearing from the start, injuries, and the main characters facing mortal danger.
God's I hope it's good, I put my best into it.

Rapunzel stretched and looked down at Eugene, well, Eugene's hair as that was the only part that was poking out from the sheets. She smiled to herself as she got up and padded along the floor. She felt a soft kick from her stomach.
"Good morning, which one are you? Are you hungry?"
"Hmm." Eugene groaned from the bed. "Who are you talking too?"
"Baby one, or baby two, I'm not sure which."
"You mean Flynn or Ryder."
"We are not calling them that, and don't say Lance and Eugene Junior."
" Ha! I wasn't going to. I was going to say Eugene Junior and Junior Eugene."
Rapunzel continued to get herself ready to go to breakfast, she was absolutely starving, and for the first time in several weeks she had woken not feeling any nausea. It was going to be a good day, and the fireworks display they had (eventually) watched from the citadel gardens had been beautiful the night before. She hummed as she brushed her hair, she was eager to get down to breakfast and see Cassandra. She had been so happy to see Varian and Cassandra together, her friends really deserved to find happiness and she hoped that it would be with each other.
Eugene reached over her for his moisturiser.
"You're in a good mood."
"Hmm," she hummed, "I feel good."
He smiled and squeezed her shoulder.
"I'm glad. Are you still going to go to the doctors today?"
"Yes, just a check-up. It's okay, you don't have to come."
"I want to, believe me I do, but there's so much to do."
"I know, you'll make the next one."
He kissed her cheek before reaching up to fix his hair in the mirror next to her.
"I promise Sunshine."
"I think I'll ask Cass to go."
"Rapunzel, you know she dousn't like people prying." Eugene said in a warning tone.
"I'm not prying, I'm just asking. Besides, it's Varian, he's family. You know I'm shocked you're not more surprised about this. It was a bit of a revelation."
"Well, I saw something between them a few weeks ago."
"What you did?" Rapunzel turned to him shocked, Eugene usually told her everything, why hadn't he mentioned it? "Why didn't you say anything?" She asked.
"I wanted to, but I'm trying to be better at keeping people's secrets. Besides, I talked to Varian and I knew that he had feelings for her but I didn't know that they were going to date. You know how chilly Cass can be."
"Feelings? Eugene." Rapunzel squealed. "Is Varian in love with Cass?"
"I'm not saying anything. Anyways, let's go get you three feed, you're starting to look a bit peaky."
Rapunzel turned to the mirror.
"I do not, you're just avoiding the question."
"Absolutely, now let's go."
Rapunzel and Eugene were just turning a corner when she heard Varian's voice.
"Coast clear ... whoops nope."
Rapunzel saw a bare arm and a green leather jerkin disappearing back into to a doorway, Cassandra's doorway.
"Vare, be careful." She heard Cassandra saying as the door was closed. Rapunzel looked over at Eugene, who was deliberately staring ahead. She continued walking.
"Hey, it's not like this is the first time we've shared a bed. "Rapunzel almost jumped, the voices coming through the door was still clear.
"But I don't want them to think that anything happened."
They were walking directly past the door now, she looked at Eugene again. She could see his eyes widen slightly at the word.
"So, that was nothing was it?"
"That more than that happened, and I haven't said yes yet."
"Actually you said yes a fair few time last night."
"Oww!" Varian's shout and the preceding thud echoed down the corridor.
Rapunzel was blushing as she walked into the great hall.
"Those doors really aren't that thick are they?"
"No, no they are not." Eugene answered.
Rapunzel sat down with some bread and sausages and started to eat, a few minutes later Cassandra came through the door. She sat down across from them.
"Morning, sausages great."
Rapunzel found herself not quite able to look at her friend, her cheeks were still hot. It wasn't because she knew that Cassandra and Varian had spent the night together, but more because she had overheard a private moment and she knew the Cass was a private person.
"Oh just ask already." Cassandra said, Rapunzel looked up in time to see Cassandra roll her eyes.
"Ask what?"
"If Varian and I had a nice date? I know that you're dying to ask."
Rapunzel gave a wide fake smile, at least Cassandra didn't know that they had overheard her conversation with Varian that morning. Rapunzel could act like she had no idea just how well her friends date had gone to save the older woman any embarrassment.
"Was it a good date?"
"It was fine." Cassandra said filling her mouth with sausage. Rapunzel wondered if it was just so that she wouldn't have to answer any more questions.
"Just fine?"
Cassandra nodded.
"Morning!" Varian said strolling in. Rapunzel looked up at him and noticed that he was wearing different clothes to those she'd glimpsed that morning. He sat down next to Cassandra, who started to blush lightly. Rapunzel watched them glance at each other and then look away.
"So um... did you enjoy the fireworks in the end?"
"Yes." Rapunzel said. "They were great. We watched from the gardens." The conversation faltered to a stop.
John walked in, even though it had been five years Rapunzel still thought of him as the Captain.
"Morning you're Highness, Cass." He nodded at the men.
Varian kept his face pointed at the table, concentrating on his food.
"Morning Captain" Rapunzel said enthusiastically. "How's Quirin."
"Oh, he's grand, sleeping soundly right now. You should come see him later." The Captain surveyed the food laid out in front of them, pocketing a few apples. "Did everybody have a good evening? Did you see those fireworks? I wish we'd had forewarning, still Quirin did sleep through it, you know babies they sleep through everything."
"Yep, saw them." Eugene answered, shortly. "You know this bread is delicious, hunny, have you tried this bread." He said to Rapunzel, obviously trying to change the topic.
"I wonder what they were for." John continued.
Everybody went silent.
John froze looking around the table. Cassandra was blushing and refusing to make eye contact. It was clear to Rapunzel that her friend had not mentioned her date to her father, and even though Rapunzel could admit that she hadn't been really noticing much lately, it had been impossible not to notice that the old Captain could be somewhat cold to Varian. Rapunzel tried to think of an explanation to help take the pressure of Cass.
"A celebration!" She said. "For umm..."
"Varian made them for me." Cassandra answered. "In umm.. a late birthday celebration."
"I see." John said. He picked up some bread rolls, staring intently at Varian as he did so. Varian had in turn seemed to become extremely interested in his plate. "I don't need to know anything else."
He headed back out the room mumbling as he did so. "He could at least have the decency not to look like the cat who got the cream."
***
Cassandra blushed at her Dad's words. Were they really being that obvious? Even Rapunzel was acting unusually uncomfortable, though that might just have been the morning sickness. She glanced at Varian, he glanced back and quickly looked away, his cheeks were red. She heard him mutter under his breath.
"I didn't even look at him."
"Awkward." Eugene said loudly.
Though she found his remark annoying it seemed to break the tension as Varian gave a deep chuckle.
"Hey, he hasn't tried to have me put to death yet."
"Ah!" Eugene said taking Rapunzel's hand. "Our first date. I escaped hanging from your father to be stabbed by your stepmother. Still, the best day of my life, because I got you."
"Aww Eugene."
"I think I'm going to be sick." Cassandra muttered. "You do realize that almost dying just after you've got together is not romantic right?"
"But he was trying and save me." Rapunzel whined.
"Not romantic." Cassandra reiterated. "Slightly creepy in a stalker way, stupid, and definitely moving too fast."
"Varian, help me out here buddy." Eugene said.
Varian took a deep gulp of water. "Nope."
"So you're always going to take her side now?"
"Depends if she's right or not."
Cassandra smiled at him. "I'm always right."
Varian laughed so much he almost chocked on his water.
"Hey!" Cassandra said. "Name one time..."
"Don't, just don't." Eugene said in a stage whisper.
"Oh, I am not stupid enough to fall into that trap." Varian said.
Rapunzel was grinning widely. "You know what we need to do, double date!" She squealed.
"NO!" Cassandra said. "Remember last time?"
"What happened last time?" Varian said.
Oh, she instantly regretted bringing that up...
"Her boyfriend tried to kill her and take over Corona. "Eugene answered.
"What? Wait are you talking about me?" Varian said looking confused. "Because we never dated back then let alone double-dated."
"OH YEAH!" Eugene exclaimed. "You did that too, what do you know our Cassie has got a type."
"Don't call me that, and he's referring to Andrew."
"Wait, not Saporian leader Andrew?"
"It wasn't a real date, I never liked him, I was just trying to figure out what his game was." Cassandra explained, Varian was still staring at her, his mouth hanging open in shock.
"How did I never know about this?"
"What did you two even talk about on your date?" Eugene said.
"Not Saporians!" Cassandra shouted across the table. She grabbed Varian's hand; it was time to get out of there before the conversation took yet another turn to the embarrassing. Besides, she had shared Varian for long enough now, she wanted to be alone with him again. "Varian, weren't you going to show me that thing in your lab?"
"I don't remember..."
"Yes! You do." Cassandra said pulling him up and marching him towards the door. Then she said quietly so the others wouldn't hear her. "I want to be alone with you."
"Oh! The thing in the lab!" He said loudly.
"Hey wait up!" Eugene said running up behind them. Cassandra sighed and turned towards him, hands on her hips staring him down.
"This better be good Fitzherbert."
"You," Varian said pointing at Varian, "said you would check the roof of the hall with me today."
"I uh..." Varian hesitated, looking between them both.
"You were the one who suggested that some of those haunted statues we knocked down were acting as ceiling supports."
"Can it wait?"
"No, it cannot wait. "Eugene said raising his voice. "I'm the crown prince Varian, do you know how many things I had to rearrange this morning so that I could go help you climb over a roof?"
"Oh come on!" Varian gestured with his arms in a frustrated movement.
"Don't you 'oh come on me', that's my line, that's always been my line. A couple of days ago you said this was life or death because the roof might collapse."
Varian sighed he looked at Cassandra, she felt her heart sink. On their date last night they had got to be together with minimal interruptions, but that was last night, and in the cold light of day Varian had a job, and people relied on him.
"I did promise." He said guiltily.
"It's okay." She said resting her hand on his arm. She had been brought up to understand duty, and she admired that part of Varian. She would never hold it against him. Eugene on the other hand. She whispered in his ear as she walked past heading back to her room.
"Thanks a lot Captain Cock-Block.'
"What the.... Well, how anybody ever mistook you for a lady with language like that I don't know." Eugene shouted after her.
Cassandra shut the door as he finished talking. She took a deep breath, she supposed that a few hours away from Varian would give her some time to think about things. She flung herself back on the bed, or she thought, she could have a nap, it had been the early hours of the morning when she had finally fallen asleep, wrapped in Varian's warm, safe, arms.
***
Varian sighed as he looked out over the ravine, the wind was blowing lightly in his hair, sometimes blowing it across his eyes interrupting his notetaking as he pushed it back behind his ears. From up here he could see the trail of last night's date with Cassandra. He could see the natural clearing in the trees and knew that beneath that clearing in the canopy was the fighting ring where Cassandra had kissed him with such exhilaration. There, along the ravine he could still make out the tiny patch of the blanket that he had weighed down with stones, he had meant to collect it this morning. That was where Cassandra had opened up to him, where he had opened up to her, unspoken pains shared between them till they no longer held the same power they once had. He even fancied he could see the spot where the shell grotto laid hidden beneath the ground. He'd told her he loved her, and true, she had not said it back, true she had not made him any promises or agreed to be his lover, but her knew now that she would eventually, he just had to give her time.
Varian looked over at his cousin, who was knelt over examining some roof tiles.
"Eugene." He sighed. "We've been up here for hours."
"You're the one who always says if you're going to do a job do it properly."
"Well, to summarize, the roofs supports have been damaged, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be, and it will still hold against snow and bad storms, it should be strengthened at some point, but it's not high priority . Now can we go?"
"You're sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Because last week you were talking about the possibility of a collapse."
"I said we just needed to check, and it takes worst case scenarios to get you to listen sometimes."
"I listen to you plenty."
"Eugene! Can we go now."
"Alright, alright." Eugene walked sure footedly along the roof, reaching down to help Varian to his feet. They walked along the slim flat area between the two slopes of tiles until they got the small ledge that led down to a flat fenced in area and an access hatch. Varian climbed down first. Turning to look back up at Eugene.
"So," he said casually. "What was it that Cassandra whispered to you this morning?"
"What?"
"She said something to you, and you said she wasn't a lady."
"Oh that." Eugene said elongating the words. "She called me Captain Cock-Block, can you believe it?"
Varian paused in what he was doing and stared at the older man as he climbed down the ledge. Did he just hear that right? He wasn't surprised to know that Cassandra would come out with language like that. He knew that she had spent a lot of time growing up around soldiers. It was more the implication of the words, cock-block, as if Eugene reminding Varian he had to come to the roof had in some way stopped them from...
As Eugene landed on the flat ground and turned towards him Varian grabbed him by the collar pulling him close to his face.
"Eugene, I swear to all that is holy if you ruined my only chance at losing my virginity to Cassandra I will make your life unbearable from now on."
"Hey, calm down!" Eugene shook him off. "She's not going anywhere is she? Wait, what was all that giggling about this morning if you two didn't..."
Varian blushed. "What giggling?"
"We heard you when you tried to leave her room, you are simply terrible at sneaking around."
"We just slept." Varian lied. "I thought she was tired. I wanted her better rested."
" Jeez, just how long do you think it takes?"
"Longer than you." Varian fired back. This was not a conversation he wanted to get into with the older man. It didn't feel right, Cassandra wouldn't like Eugene to know any intimate details about her, on the other hand, the older man still called him kid all the time and he'd love the chance to get the upper hand just for once.
"Hey!"
Varian tried to climb through the open hatch, but Eugene caught his arm.
"Do you need to talk?"
"No." Varian said shrugging him off.
"Are you sure? It's a big step."
"I'm not a teenage girl Eugene."
"I know... but more experienced woman, that can be daunting."
"More experienced?" Varian asked.
"Well, you can't tell me that Cass is a virgin, I mean...Yikes!"
Varian grabbed his collar again.
"That is my girlfriend...well, maybe.. but still. Don't talk about her like that."
"Okay, Okay, I just meant, she dousn't live life by the usual conventions and she's been travelling for a while. I imagine that she's had other lovers, she is beautiful, even I can't deny that. I wasn't trying to insult her."
Varian let go and gave an annoyed little huff. He wasn't going to tell Eugene that he was wrong, that Cassandra hadn't been anywhere near a guy in so long that Varian knew to treat her like a virgin, that would fall into the intimate knowledge that Eugene shouldn't know category. He'd just have to let him have his misconceptions, and perhaps punch him if he ever made a comment like that again, once he could get away with because he was family, twice and he'd deserve a beating.
"So...uh... she seems willing, so why didn't you seal the deal kid?"
"It's none of your business."
"Just wanted to be helpful. You know, in case, you had some problems."
"Problems?"
"Couldn't raise the mast?"
"What no!" Varian said.
"Ship left the port too early, there's no shame in it, you are inexperienced."
"No!"
"Realized that it was her time of the month and fainted?"
"Why are we friends?"
Eugene shrugged.
"I just don't want her to have a bad experience okay!"
"Okay."
"I think she's relaxed enough with me now, but I needed to be sure. I don't want to cause her any discomfort, okay."
"Okay."
"I care about her."
"I know you do."
"I don't want to move too fast."
"So uh.. what was all that giggling about?"
"Picking pockets isn't the only thing that gives you nimble fingers Eugene." Varian said jumping down the hatch.
***
Varian was looking for Cassandra when he bumped into King Edmund, literally.
"Oh, sorry your majesty. Have you seen Cassandra?"
"Yes, she was looking for you actually."
"Really, where did she go?"
"Oh, she left about a half an hour ago, when she couldn't find you Princess Rapunzel asked her to go with her for a doctor's appointment about the... well, you know."
Varian sighed, it looked like it didn't matter that he'd come down from the roof. She had gone already; he would have to wait till she got back. Wait for what though? The previous night had taken some turns he had not been expecting, very welcome turns. Was she really ready to be with him? He hoped so, but he could be patient, however much he just wanted to hold her close right now, and kiss that warm silken curve of her neck, he could be patient.
"How was that exploding gel coming along?" Edmund was asking him. Varian held back a swearword, another thing he had promised but had faded from his mind when he'd had Cassandra in his arms.
"Will it be ready for the demonstration tomorrow?"
"Oh, yes, I'm just going to go and work on it right now." He answered.
Though it was finished it was a dangerous substance, and he might as well go and take one more look at the compound. It wasn't like he was going to be seeing Cassandra in the next few hours anyways. He headed back down to his lab. He would try and get some work done, though he had a feeling he'd spend most of his time daydreaming about Cassandra and the night previous.
***
The Night Before -Cassandra
Cassandra moaned slightly as Varian's hands wrapped around her buttocks lifting her up and placing her down on the stone altar, not breaking their kiss for a moment. Gentle kisses had turned hungry, shy hands had begun to explore, and loving words had turned into hitched breathes and humming moans. Cassandra's fingers fiddled with the gold clasps on the leather jerkin, frustratingly slowly she undid them one by one until the leather parted and she could pull at the shirt beneath. She tugged the shirt out from his trousers and was able to slide under and touch the smooth warm skin. Varian pulled back for a moment, looking around, looking slightly confused.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing, I just thought it seemed like it was getting darker."
Cassandra looked around.
"It has, the fires gone out over there." Varian turned and looked.
"The whole thing is dying down." He said.
Cassandra let out an annoyed groan.
"Danmit, the oils running out, I guess it had been there several centuries. We should get back, before the oil of the lantern goes as well."
"I guess you're right. "Cassandra sighed. She jumped down from the altar, feeling slightly disappointed. They walked together in a companionable silence, back out of the grotto and along the stream, up the steps and through the woods. As she walked the muscles of Cassandra's leg started to ache deeply, from the knee all the way up to her hip. She tried to hide her discomfort as best as possible, she knew that there wasn't any problem developing, she'd just pushed herself to the limits tonight. Despite trying to hide it, Varian turned to her with a concerned look.
"You're limping worse than usual."
"I'm fine."
"I shouldn't have pushed you so hard."
She reached for his hand, squeezing it before locking her fingers with him.
"It's what I needed. Honestly, I'm fine, just tired."
As they travelled in the gondola, Cassandra rested her head against Varian's shoulder. She felt him press a soft kiss against her forehead, she could be soft with him like this, it felt normal, natural and yet there was still a little tingle of excitement at the unfamiliarity of these gentle touches, an anticipation of what would come next for them.
They walked slowly up through the newly planted gardens, up the steps and through the dark corridors. However hard they tried to draw out the night though they eventually reached her bedroom door. Cassandra took a deep breath, she did not want the night to be over, she did not want him to leave her, she wanted to be with him tonight. She knew his heart, she knew his regrets, his secrets, now she wanted to know his body, she wanted to possess ever part of him. She turned to him as he bent and gently kissed her.
"Goodnight..."
"Do you want too..." They both had started talking and stopped talking at the same time, but despite the muddle of words they understood each other. Varian let go of her hand.
"You're tired."
"We've slept together before; we could just sleep."
"You say that like it's even possible." Varian said, running his fingers over her lips, his eyes staring intensely into hers, and she knew it was true, they may have slept close together before out of necessity, or seeking comfort, but that couldn't happen tonight. Tonight they were both feeling too much to be contained if they laid together. She took the hand that was lingering by her lips and gently kissed his fingertips, sucking one into her mouth before answering.
"Stay anyway."
His eyes closed and he groaned, then hands were wrapped around her shoulders, and she was pushed back against the door, his lips hungry against hers. She could feel the gentle twitching and growing of his excitement against her stomach. They pushed against each other, hands wrapping in hair, tongues delving into mouths, desperate to get closer but already as close as they could be in that moment. Eventually a thought entered Cassandra's mind, they could not stay in the corridor undisturbed for ever, even in the dead of night. She knew she had to get him into his room and out of his clothes. She fumbled with the door handle, half walking - half falling backwards until they were both on there bed, the door kicked shut behind them.
They fumbled in the darkness, buttons and laces pulled at, material tugged.
"Damn, why are these so hard? "Varian said as his fingers were hooked under the laces of her vest.
"You said wear something for outdoors activities, you never said with easy access."
He laughed pulling her on top of him.
"You're a wicked woman Cassandra." He said his finger finding their favourite place in amongst her tumbling locks.
"So I've been told."
"What happened to the lantern?"
"Good idea."
Varian got up with a frustrated huff and went to get the lantern that he'd left outside the door, he used the flame from it to light the lamp on Cassandra's desk so that they would still have light if one ran out, and then he turned to look at her, and for the first time Cassandra felt slightly apprehensive. She had not been naked in front of a man, not fully, not ever. She was older than him, and she knew that her breasts were not a pert as they would have been at his age, her skin not quite as soft. Yes, her muscles were still taut, her stomach still flat, but she was not twenty-two anymore. Then there was the big ugly red mark up her leg. Something must have shown on her face because Varian's expression turned serious as he looked at her, and he went to sit on the edge of the bed reaching for her hand.
"You're nervous."
"No, I'm fine." She said reaching for him again, his hand reached up to catch hers, stopping her from kissing him with a pointed look and a raised eyebrow.
"Okay, a little nervous."
He sighed rolling onto his back and placing his hands over his eyes.
"Okay." He said looking up, "we're not having sex tonight."
"But.."
"I want you to feel comfortable, so I'm going to show you that I'm willing to put your emotions first."
"Varian, I want you."
He lifted a pillow over his head and groaned into it.
"You're killing me here Cassie."
He seemed to think about him for a while and then threw the pillow away and brought her to him in a kiss. The kiss was calmer than before, full of restraint. He looked her directly in the eyes, searching her face for something. "I want you Cassie, so much it hurts, but I want you to be relaxed."
"Varian, I might not get to be relaxed, I did this once, ten years ago, and it was awful. I might not be a virgin, but I might as well be for as I don't know what to expect with somebody who actually cares about me."
He gave a short nod.
"Cassie, lay on your side, facing away from me."
She paused for a moment, then deciding to trust him turned to her side. He scouted close to her.
"How do you sleep?" He asked. This time the question warranted her turning and looking at him oddly. He tilted his head slightly waiting for her answer.
"Like this." She said drawing her legs up slightly.
"Good." He pushed even closer to her his knees bending so that he was wrapped around her, every part of her back pushed against his warm lean frame. She could feel his hardness pushed up against her buttocks. For a disappointed moment she thought that he planned on going to sleep, as she had suggested at her door. Why ask her how she slept otherwise? But then his hands were lifting her hair to place soft moist kisses on the back of her neck, slowly making their way along to suck at that point just below her ear, and she sighed letting go of that small moment of tension where she had thought that she'd be left with this pent up energy all night.
"I want you to be as comfortable as possible." Varian whispered against her, his voice wavering slightly with his efforts to control himself. He continued to kiss her neck as his hand slipped downwards to her breast, he had loosened the strings of her vest enough to slip his hand between it and the rough fabric of her shirt, the warmth of his hand sinking through the thin material to her skin. It sent shock waves that warmed her in far more places than just her breast. As the edge of his palm connected with her hardened nipple she agave a soft groan and found herself pushing her hips back against him, digging that hardness between the ample flesh of her cheeks. His breath hitched next to her ear, his hand stilled for a moment, before nimble fingers began to brush over the sensitive little circle, pushing back and forth before giving a light experimental squeeze, all of which just left her groaning and trying to push against him, because however good it felt, this was not where she wanted him. She wanted him in between her legs, she was painfully aware of that part of her swelling and throbbing, demanding him.
His fingers left her breast and travelled up to her chin, tilting her head as he leaned up to kiss her. Cassandra put her hand to his cheek, feeling the start of prickling stubble beneath her hand as threw herself hungrily into the kiss, trying to convey just how much she wanted him, just how much tension and energy there was in her body. She didn't know the words for these feelings, she didn't know how to ask for what she wanted, but she knew by how he met her kiss with the same level of energy that he was feeling the same. His body was tense with the same energy, the only area of looseness being their lips moving against each other. He pulled back with a sharp gasp, his eyes meeting hers just looking at her for a moment.
"I want to touch you."
"Yes." She didn't need to think, she wanted him to touch her, anywhere, do anything, just to ease this feeling.
"I'm going to prove to you that I can make you feel good."
He kissed her again, his hand sliding over her stomach down to her trousers where they unhooked the catches at the top and pushed beneath the different layers of fabric. Fingers trailed through her hair into her open and waiting lips, she let out a groan at the first touch, almost rubbing against him longingly. Varian answered her with a soft moan of his own. His fingers were light, just a breeze as they slowly tested the limits of her folds, running up and down mapping the edges where bare wet skin met black curl, travelling down as far as that little ledge where vagina stopped and backside began, then back up to the very top where he seemingly accidentally nudged at that swollen little nub that her own fingers knew so well. She wished that he would linger there for a moment, just to push down on her and give her the pressure she desired, but instead his fingers worked deeper, becoming slick with her juices. They found her opening, ghosting lightly around it, testing the parted flesh with the lightest of pressure, nuzzling just slightly, just millimetres inside of her and circling around as if trying to figure out the limits of her. She flung her head back against his shoulder, her hands reaching behind her to claps at his hips and draw him closer to her.
"Yes. Please..." She uttered, her eyes closing, everything except the movement of those fingers disappearing. He placed a kiss on her neck as the tip of his finger entered her, pushing agonisingly slowly into her as she groaned partly at the pleasure of the tingling pressure, partly in frustration at wanting more. Then his finger slipped out of her and it ran in a line up her slit, a sweeping gesture, until he hit her sensitive nub, making her hips jerk, and just as she was starting to want this sensation instead he was sweeping back down and dipping into her again. Back up and down he went, stoking the fire within her further, and further, making her pant as her body grew hotter and hotter, as if in fever, making her want him more, but unable to say where it was she most wanted his touch, inside of her or on that sensitive little swelling.
The energy within her was building up in waves of pleasure, she started circling her hips, feeling the hard dick rubbing against her buttocks, and when he slipped more fingers inside of her she moved to rock against them as he stayed still, letting her use him how she wanted. Finally his fingers slipped out of her and when they ran back upwards to run over that tense little nub he finally lingered, crooking his fingers he ran his rough knuckles over the spot, circling again and again as her body tensed and waves of pleasure grew and crashed within her. Her hips jerked back and forth of their own accord; her thighs clenched over his hand locking him there. His hips were moving in rhythm with his hands now, thrusting himself against her. She could feel something coming, a more powerful building of energy, starting in her stomach, travelling up her spine, and then bursting, filling her entire body so all she could do was give a gasping scream, barely feeling as fingers slipped back inside of her, she gave into the blinding white pleasure.
When it was over, she was partly aware of him moving away from her, rolling to lie flat and look up at the ceiling. Her heart was still hammering against her breast, her legs still feeling wobbly as if they had lost their bones. She had half expected him to take her then, the heavy hardness of him jutting into her had told her how much he wanted to. It would have been easy, to just slip her trousers down and slide into her, already wet and open, his pleasure following hers.
As she watched him she noticed his lips forming unspoken words.
"What are you saying?" She asked him when she could find her voice.
"Elements."
"Why?" She chuckled.
"I could feel you pulsing around my fingers, I could imagine that around my dick, and I could almost come just imagining it." He said huskily.
"I would have let you, take me that is."
"I told you, I want you to know I can make you feel good, I want you to know I can put you first. Did I prove it?"
"Do you really need to ask?"
He gave a little hum and a half shrug, before reaching his hands out to frame her face.
"Do you have any idea how beautiful you are? How sensuous you are? The way you react to me, the way you move against me, the sounds you make, do you have any idea?" He kissed her before settling back into the pillows eyes closed.
Cassandra couldn't help smiling at the compliment, the raw honesty in his voice. She looked Varian up and down taking in his body, stretched out with his arms above his head, making his already slim frame look longer and slimmer. She noticed the bulge in his trousers, and with a sense of relaxed confidence that followed her climax she reached for him. Varian's eyes flicked open as he sensed her hand near his belt. He looked at her and gave her a soft smile.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"You don't have to do that."
"I want to see you."
"If you're sure."
His breath hitched slightly as he reached and undid his belt and with a small shift of his hips pulled the material down revealing himself to Cassandra.
The slight bumpiness of the skin at the base, the thick vein running along the bottom, the head, dark pink and glistening with a creamy liquid. It had a strangely graceful curve, ending parallel with his belly button. The instant she touched him he groaned. Emboldened she ran the tips of her fingers up that thick vein. She was surprised by how hard and hot flesh could be. She stroked over the glistening head making Varian gasp and his hips buck upwards. She liked that she could do that to him, she liked that she could have the same power over his body as he had had over hers.
She had never really examined a man in this state before, she had felt one inside herself, yes, a smaller one, but never touched one like this before. She wanted to know everything about this body, she wished he were naked in front of her, so she could see the planes of his stomach, the muscles of his arms, but she understood that some limits had been set tonight, and she wouldn't push him, as he would never push her.
He was looking down at her now, his eyes half closed, his lips parted. She bent low, smelling the headiness of him, fingers briefly brushing the thick hair, feeling the difference between it and the smooth hard skin. She cupped a hand around the underside of his dick, holding him gently as she licked upwards feeling the different textures of the skin against her tongue.
He gulped and panted under her. She touched the tip of her tongue to the silky tip, swirling in a circle around that little opening, the little smears of liquid were salty in her mouth. Varian's hips stuttered, his fingers clenching and unclenching in the bedsheets. She had wondered if this would have crossed a line with him, but he seemed far from concerned. With a single quick movement she slid her lips down over the head of his dick and took him into her mouth.
"Uh, wait."
Cassandra stopped, sitting up, wondering if she had found that line he didn't want her to cross. He reached out for her hand.
"What?" He said looking a little baffled.
"You're not the only one who knows how to research." Cassandra said realizing that he had not expected her confidence, her knowledge.
"Oh." He seemed to be struggling to come up with a coherent sentence. "You don't have to."
"You don't want me to?"
"It feels amazing, but I wanted tonight to be about you."
"And I want to watch you, I want to taste you."
She bent back down, her lips pausing over him giving him a chance to stop her again, when he didn't she slid her lips back down over him, pulling back up and bopping back down a few times.
"Oh! mercury, hydrogen and argon."
Cassandra tried to hold back a laugh, she pulled off of him with a satisfying popping sound, and wrapping her fingers around him gave him a couple of long licks from base to tip, before diving back over him, her tongue flickering over his head. She could feel his thighs tensing beneath her hand, a few trembling shakes. His fingers wrapped in her hair gently massaging the back of her head. He was giving soft moans that just turned her on, she could imagine what it would be like to have this part of him properly inside of her, for her to rock back and forth on him, with him moaning like this beneath her.
"Cassie, I'm gonna..."
She froze, she didn't really know what she was meant to do. She pulled off of him and wrapped her hand around his shaft trying to copy the movements of her mouth moment prior. Varian let out a few gasping breaths and a hot stream of white liquid flowed over her hand. She found herself smiling in satisfaction, she had done that, she had made him feel good. She wiped her mouth with the side of her hand and laid her head on his shoulder, her arm wrapping around his stomach.
"Cassie." He breathed.
"Hmm."
"I love.."
She silenced him with a finger to his lips.
"Just go to sleep." She said softly.
