Female Reader x Male Monster
The cold breeze brushes against your skin and combs sharp fingers through your hair. You open your eyes to see the terrace door open, and Aymeric standing there and looking out. His sharp eyes are peering intently into the distance, but they aren't focused on just anything.
You sit up in bed, rubbing your eyes of sleep. Your mouth is dry and your head is throbbing from one too many drinks the night before. Aymeric keeps his court well-entertained, and being his pet, you have your own duties as well. You don't mind the new lifestyle you lead. Ever since you came to Aymeric, you've been quite content.
"It's cold and you're half-naked," you scold him while you yawn. "Come back inside."
Aymeric remains focused on whatever distant thing he's staring at. "I'll be back inside in a moment, dearest. Go back to bed. You need your beauty sleep."
You stand up, wrapping the blanket around you as you head to the washroom to get some water. "There was no beauty in that sleep, only recovery." You rinse out a wine glass from last night and fill it to the brim with water. You drink it in its entirety, then fill it again and walk back to the brooding Aymeric.
"How come water from the bathroom tap always tastes better?" you murmur.
Aymeric's eyes finally move and fall on you. The silver in them appears darker this morning. "It's also in a fancy glass." He takes it from your fingers to steal a sip. "That also enriches the flavor."
You open the blanket and he steps into your arms. He takes hold of the blanket, wrapping it around both of you so only your head pokes out.
"Bad dreams?" You nuzzle his chest.
"I never slept last night," Aymeric admits in a soft voice. "I just lay there and watched you, or lay there and watched the moonlight move across the floor."
"What's wrong?" You smooth your hands up and down his sides and back. "Did something happen at the party last night?"
The look on his face gives him away before he even answers you. "I was bored the entire time."
"Bored?" You raise an eyebrow. "How could you have been bored? What was it?"
Aymeric huffs and places his chin on top of your head. "I am not sure what it was. I just remember a point in the evening when I looked across the room and realized there was nothing new there for me. There was no one I looked forward to talking to aside from you. So when I couldn't see you, it felt like I would be the only limp dick in the room."
"Maybe it's time to take a vacation," you suggest. "Go out and do something new for a little bit. When you get back, you'll have stories to tell, and something more than just me to talk about."
Aymeric lifts his chin from yours with a great big smile on his face. "My pet, what a wonderful suggestion." He kisses you excitedly, cupping your cheeks between his palms. "A long vacation may be exactly what I need." He kisses you again, biting your cheek and neck. "I'll start planning something," his moans are hot in your ear. "Just as soon as I finish thanking you."
"I have a bit of a headache." You do enjoy how good his touch feels, though. "Can you thank me later?"
Aymeric pouts and bites the tip of your ear. "I am a bit tired," he grumps. "I wouldn't be able to keep up with the pace you're used to. Your thighs are so warm and soft I'd probably fall asleep on them while my tongue is in you." He yawns and shakes his head. "Fine, we'll have breakfast."
"You can thank me later." You go over to the table, while he closes the terrace door and rings the bell.
"Any ideas on where you'd like to go?" You smile as he slips on a black robe that makes his skin all the more pearlescent.
