narnia au;

[illuminescent]

how did you get here? through a wardrobe, or through death, or maybe a portal gone terribly astray. a ring. the roar of a lion. in the bottom of a cup. because you were looking for something, or missing something. no matter how you got there, this is where you belong.

Comments

[illuminescent]

[She smiles then, and it's a little radiant.]

I can wake to you, and hold you, without hurry, without worry, without fear.

[She kisses him on the mouth this time, and presses him down to the bed.]

I can take you at my leisure, George.

[curlytop]

[He loves to see her smile like that, and he lays down on the bed with a laugh, pulling her with.]

You can, my love.

[He curls a hand around the back of her head and leans up to kiss her.]

[illuminescent]

[She kisses him, and kisses him again. They're both tired, and a little sweaty, and just a bit filthy, but she doesn't care. She unties her bodice, which is simpler now, and her breasts ease a little. She reaches down to tug his shirt off, and spreads her hands over his chest and shoulders.]

And you can have me at yours.

[curlytop]

[George hums into the kiss, his hands settling at Lucy's hips and then wandering up her bodice to her breasts.]

I may never let you leave our bed, mo chridhe.

[illuminescent]

Never?

[She leans down, and kisses him again.]

I would be very bored. How would you keep me entertained?

[curlytop]

[He tugs down the front of her dress to free her breasts completely, covering one with a warm palm.]

Have I ever bored you in bed?

[illuminescent]

[She giggles a little.]

No.

You have always kept me most pleased.

[He reaches for her breast, and she hums in the sweet, warm pleasure of it. Her fingers catch and curl around his.]

[curlytop]

[He laughs, warm and easy, and leans up to kiss her again.]

And I will endeavor to continue so.

[illuminescent]

Will you promise to keep me sated, no matter how long we are married?

[She's giggling, sweetly, and kissing him.]

Perhaps we should bathe first.

[curlytop]

I will put it in our vows if you like.

[He kisses her again, and again, and once more.]

Either way, we'll need to be naked.

[illuminescent]

I like that, but I think it may be too shocking for the folk here in Telmar.

[She unties her skirt, and moves to stand, and she drops it. It's much brighter in this room than in their room, in the dark, back in Narnia; there is still sunlight out there, and the slats are good for privacy but they let through so much light.]

[curlytop]

Then I'll just promise you here.

[He pushes himself up to watch her as she undresses.]

You are so beautiful, my love.

[illuminescent]

[Her smile turns radiant.]

I am so glad you think so.

[Her blush is high in her cheeks, not embarrassed, but happy, pleased, and she leans over to press a kiss to his mouth.]

I will hold you to every promise, but forgive you any mishap.

[curlytop]

[He loves to see her looking like that, and he holds her face in both hands as they kiss.]

I will promise anything in my power.

[He pulls her to him, curling an arm around her waist to draw her back into his lap. They'll get to the bath eventually.]

[illuminescent]

[She's in his lap, her mouth on his shoulder, and then her head on his shoulder, too.]

You smell, my love.

[She probably smells too.]

[curlytop]

[He laughs and kisses her temple.]

Aye, all right. Into the tub with you, then.

[With a grin, he stands, picking her up with him and carrying her to the tub.]

[illuminescent]

[She squeals and suddenly she's in his arms, and even through that she's kicking just a little.]

With you!

[curlytop]

[He laughs and stops at the edge of the tub.]

In my clothes? If you insist...

[illuminescent]

[The water was brought up earlier, clearly, and it's still hot.]

But then what will you wear to our wedding?

[She kicks her legs just a little, but she's laughing.]

Do you not wish to be with me?

[curlytop]

[He sets her carefully on the edge of the tub, laughing, and kisses her nose.]

I do want to be with you. If you'll let me get undressed first.

[illuminescent]

[She sits, and waits, and nods just a little.]

But only because you have such a good reason.

[curlytop]

I'd still marry you if I had to go naked, but I think we'd have a hard time finding someone to do the ceremony.

[He steps back to peel off his clothes quickly.]

[illuminescent]

George-

[She smiles, and it's shining, almost, she reaches for him as soon as he's naked.]

Come here, please.

[curlytop]

[He moves to kiss her, smiling against her lips.]

Yes, my love?

[illuminescent]

[There's a lot she wants to say, but instead she stands on the side of the tub, balanced there, and is tall enough that he has to look up to kiss her on the mouth. She has to bend down just a little.]

You still smell.
