For the Inquisition

There is a Hole in the Ceiling

I woke to the bed shaking underneath me. I sat up, the blanket sliding down my bare torso as Cullen's head snapped back and forth. His mouth twisted and he groaned as if in pain. I rested a hand against his cheek, pressing my lips to his temple. His eyes snapped open and in a flash, I was on my back with him hovering over me. His hand was wrapped around my throat but he wasn't squeezing.

"Cullen, it's me." I rested my hand over his own, attempting to peel his fingers off my neck. He blinked slowly and his expression cleared. He snatched his hand away and moved as far away from me as he could on the bed.

"I'm so sorry, Jesaere." He shook his head, his breathing shaky. "I'm going to find you your own quarters. It's not safe for you to sleep with me." I scoffed and moved towards him, running my fingers through his hair. He leaned towards me, pressing his face against my chest as tears ran down his cheeks.

"I don't care. I don't want to wake up anywhere else but in your arms." He sighed and pulled away from me to look me in the face.

"I could have hurt you." His eyes lingered on my neck as if he was still picturing his hand wrapped around it.

"But you didn't." I forced him to look at me. "I trust you, Cullen." He leaned forward until his forehead rested against mine.

"Maker." He swore quietly. "I love you, Jesaere." I smiled softly at him and pressed my lips against his, slowly pushing him back until he was laying down again. I kissed across his jaw, his stubble tickling my lips, and down his neck. He groaned as I licked down his chest, teasing his nipples with my tongue. I continued down towards his navel. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"Helping you forget." I whispered before I licked up the side of his cock. His hips jerked once in surprise. I smiled to myself before taking him in my mouth. He swore under his breath, his fingers tangling in my hair.

"Andraste help me." He moaned as I swirled my tongue around his cock. I pulled my mouth off him.

"I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't say another woman's name while your cock is in my mouth." He looked down at me.

"As much as I enjoy that, I'd also enjoy making you feel good." I smiled at him. He was my selfless Templar, especially in bed. I climbed on top of him, straddling his hips. I leaned down to kiss him, rocking my hips so my exposed cunt rubbed against his cock. His hands found my hips and his fingers dug into my flesh as he moved my hips again. I was dripping wet and ready for him. He leaned up to wrap his lips around my nipple as I reached between us to position him. Both of us moaned loudly as I sank down onto him, all the way to the hilt.

"Gods, Cullen." I nearly screamed as he thrust his hips up.

"I love it when you come undone." He did it again and I fell forward, grabbing the headboard for stability. My breasts dangled in his face as he pounded into me from below. A strangled gasp escaped my lips as his thumb found my clit. I could feel myself cresting the peak. So close. So close.

We shattered together, my orgasm drawing his out. I collapsed on top of him, both of our bodies slick with sweat. I shivered from the breeze coming in through the hole in his ceiling.

"Do you feel better?" I asked once we had both caught our breath. He pushed my hair out of my face and kissed my forehead.

"Who wouldn't feel better after that?" He replied, earning a smile from me. My eyelids slid shut and I fell back to sleep to the sound of his heartbeat under my ear.

I woke to his mouth between my legs, a low moan escaping my throat as the fog of sleep left my brain. I smiled and opened my eyes to see a head of blond hair between my thighs.

"I would like to request that I be woken up like this every day." His chuckle vibrated through me as his tongue penetrated me, drawing out a gasp from my lips. My thighs shook as he continued his ministrations. "Don't you have a war council meeting this morning?" I gasped out, breathless. His tongue found my clit and my fingers slid into his hair.

"They'll understand that breakfast comes first." His voice was muffled by my thigh. It wasn't long before I was screaming through clenched teeth as my release thundered through me. He sat up with a smirk and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "Beautiful." He said before he leaned in and gave me a kiss. I snorted as he pulled away and stood, stark naked in the morning sunlight.

"I'm sure." I said in disbelief. My hair was most likely a snarled mess and I was sure my cheeks were still flushed. His eyes glittered as he looked over at me.

"Do you doubt my judgment?" He asked as he began to pull on his clothes. I climbed out of bed as well, ignoring his stare lingering on my bare skin.

"Isn't it my job to question your judgment?" I teased as I pulled on my undergarments then a tight black shirt.

"I'd prefer if you didn't." Cullen finished dressing and grinned at me. "I'd also prefer if you dressed like that every day." I rolled my eyes at him and found my pants, quickly pulling them onto my legs before sitting on the edge of the bed to lace up my boots.

"I don't think the rest of Skyhold would agree with you." I paused, thinking. "Well, Iron Bull might." Cullen frowned and pulled me up, flush against his chest.

"Why do you insist on making me jealous?" His lips hovered over mine.

"Because I find it immensely hot." I leaned forward and nipped at his bottom lip. He growled, his hands squeezing my ass.

"Maker, I just can't get enough of you." I grinned and pulled away from him.

"That's the idea, Commander." I glanced up at the hole in the ceiling, noting the rising sun. "You are so late for your council meeting."

"Then we should get going. Stop distracting me." He smacked my behind as I bent to climb down the ladder into his office.

Leliana, Ariess, and Josephine were already discussing next steps when we entered the council chambers. Ariess smirked at me and I shrugged before taking my seat at the edge of the room below the window.

"How nice of you to join us, Commander." Leliana teased. Cullen flushed, adjusting his collar.

"I apologize. It took longer than I thought to finish breakfast." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"Or for breakfast to finish." Ariess muttered her eyes finding mine. I smiled at her in answer and she chuckled to herself.

"As I was saying," Josephine spoke. "I've gotten the Inquisition on the guest list to the Empress's ball. She is holding peace talks with Duke Gaspard who believes himself the rightful emperor of Orlais."

"Inquisitor, you will be front and center. All eyes will be watching you." Leliana said.

"But no pressure." Ariess suddenly seemed nervous. Leliana smirked.

"But since all eyes will be on you, we can sneak one of our own in as a noble to spy and spread good rumors about our organization."

"Do we have anyone you trust enough to blend in without raising suspicion?" Cullen asked, leaning against the table.

"Yes, I have the perfect candidate in mind." All their eyes fell upon me.

"Wait, what?" I shook my head. "I'm a soldier not a spy and I'm an elf at that. I can't blend in."

"We can cover your ears and you'll be wearing a mask. Some extra padding around the hips and chest can give you a human figure. You're one of the only ones who knows what information to listen for and what information to sow." The spymaster had clearly been thinking on this for a while.

I sighed heavily. "I'm not allowed to say no, am I?"

"You're allowed to but that doesn't mean we have to listen." I folded my arms over my chest and leaned back in my chair.

"Fine but you better get me a damn good dress. I won't wear anything ugly." If anything else, at least I could feel like a princess for a night.
