A Templar's Desire (DA:I - Cullen X Lavellen)

10. In The Tavern*

I took Cullen's hand and ushered him out before he could laugh at Josephine's embarrassment. We climbed the stairs that led to the courtyard and tavern. No one would be there so that we could sit in peace momentarily. Opening the tavern door, we spotted not a single soul. I sat down at the bar.

"I'm sorry about earlier. Whenever... he is brought up it... frustrates me. The way he looked at you. The fact he went out in the field with you so frequently. The innate connection you two shared. I grew... jealous," he explained.

"You are the only man I ever had my eyes on. The moment I met you, I was enraptured by you. You were the most beautiful man I had ever laid eyes on. Your commanding and indomitable presence was intoxicating. But when I teased and flirted, you became a timid little thing. So adorable," I expressed to him while I held his hands. His eyes softened. Unexpectedly, he grabbed my face for a licentious kiss.

"Lalin, I love you so much. I have never loved the way I do for you. I wish only to be yours. And for no other man to yearn for you. I want you all to myself."

His words were drunk with desire. I knew what he wanted. 

I approached the tavern's entrance and barred the door with a chair. Cullen rushed upstairs to the other doors and, likewise, blocked them. He descended the stairs back to me watchfully. As he drew nearer, he unlaced his top and unfastened his belt. I slipped out of my pants and perched on a table with dishes and a bottle atop it. When Cullen reached me, he thrashed everything off the table. I pulled off his top and hooked my thumbs in the waist of his trousers.

"I didn't get enough of you last night, Vhenan. Give me more," I ordered him before ripping down on his pants.

"As you wish," he whispered, pulling me to the table's edge.

He held up my legs and slowly penetrated me. I purred as he pushed himself assiduously into me. His breath pawed at my neck as we strained to be silent. I wanted to let out cries akin to the ones from last night, but the others might think I was being mauled if I did that.

"Aaah! Cullen..." I whimpered as my face burned red.

The table scraped on the floorboards and creaked with each thrust. I surrounded him in my arms and clawed his back, my nails bumping over his scars. The world was so cruel to him before I came into his life.

"Sshh, Love, we mustn't be too loud. I will relish this, but we must be fast," he hushed me while he kept a tight grasp on my legs, "I will have you again and again tonight. I will make you scream."

He fanned my legs wider and plowed faster and more aggressively. I winced as he dug his nails into my thighs, but the pleasure surpassed the discomfort. I uncontrollably freed a squeal from my lips. "Ma'arlath! Ah! Please!"

He grinned and moved close to my ear, "If you won't be quiet, I will have to silence you. Do you want that?" He asked, then nipped my earlobe. As his teeth clamped on my ear, I yelped. Without a word, he forced his hand over my mouth and penetrated with more intensity. He whispered, "What did I say? You have to be punished now."

This was the man I wanted last night during our roleplay. He was demanding but not sadistic. I wanted more of this side of Cullen. My eyes lit aflame with desire. I bit his hand and flitted my tongue on his palm.

"You really do want me to discipline you, huh? You asked for this, Love."

I waited in anticipation before paying the price. My heart wanted to burst from my chest, my skin shivered, and my legs shuddered. To close my eyes before the storm was all I could do. Abruptly, he spun me around, laying on the table facedown, and restrained my hands behind my back with one large, imposing hand. He stabbed himself into me while his other hand groped and caressed my ass and thighs.

"Haahh! Ah! Yes! Teach me a lesson, Templar," I urged him. I attempted to remain quiet, but the way he loved me made it impossible.

"Oohh, my little pet mage, I am so close. Your little moans and squeals are intoxicating..." Cullen purred.

Between my legs, a sudden and pleasurable heat filled me. It felt like he poured all of his love into me every time. He huffed and shivered before pulling out of me. A thick rope of our combined fluids leading clung to his cock. He searched behind the bar for a cloth to clean us both up.

"I don't want to return to the others, but I know we must. They will look for us soon if they haven't already started," I giggled.

"I don't give a damn what the others think," he stated as he returned with a damp cloth. While wiping me clean, he asked, "You don't worry about how the others see us, do you?"

"Not really. Sometimes, I worry Varric might start a new series about Templar and mage lovers. Or a forbidden love between a human noble and a Dalish elf." The idea made us both laugh.

"I'd kick his ass if he did that. And I'm not a noble. My hometown was known for its huge golem in the center of town. But I heard that the Hero of Ferelden woke that thing up," Cullen chuckled.

He put our clothes back on and tried to make ourselves presentable. I glanced at the things on the ground previously on the table we disgraced. I looked at Cullen expectantly. He groaned, picked up the items, and placed them as before. He unbarred the doors and peeked outside the tavern. No one was present to see us skulk out.

"There's the happy couple! What were you up to in there? Y'all were gone for a while," Varric probed us.

Varric was present. He was always stealthier than I anticipated. We were found out. Cullen's face splashed red, and he cleared his throat.

"We were checking for more refreshments. Kegs, ales, and less fancy stuff like what Josephine was looking for," I replied. Cullen was in no state to speak.

"Uh-huh. I guess I will have to believe that. Curly looks like he needs a drink and to catch his breath. Tough finding kegs," Varric grinned and winked.

Cullen rubbed his neck and choked on his words. Nothing came out when he tried to speak. I patted him and kissed his shoulder.

Varric strolled away, laughing.

"Let's return to the group, Vhenan."
