Midnight Manor Private Residence, Saturday Afternoon

[hasaknightjob]

After Steven and Llewellyn's usual trip over to the mainland they came home for an easy Saturday afternoon. Llewellyn went to the library to practice his piano. Steven, for his part, set up dinner in the slow cooker.

Once that was done and the house began to be filled with delicious smells, Steven set himself up in the living room. He curled up on the couch with a book, happily losing track of the time. Raphael kept him company by sitting on the back of the couch and watching the fish swimming in their tank.

On the whole, Steven had no complaints. Other than the lack of his beau, of course, but that could be fixed later when Llewellyn was free.

They had plenty of pillows! Perhaps they could use one for just such a purpose?

"Ah, but I can only last for so long," Watts pointed out. "Particularly- particularly those times when you let me take control."

[hasaknightjob]

Steven's smile was still shy but it grew. "I like when you do that. Very much."

[pocketpretzels]

"Not- not everyone has," Watts admitted, fingers drawing nonsense patterns across Steven's skin. "Some find it uncomfortable. Or demeaning. It means a great deal to me that you trust me with that."

[hasaknightjob]

"Why would it be demeaning?" Steven asked. "I suppose I could see uncomfortable, depending on the position or - or if the rhythm wasn't right. But to me it's - you get pleasure from me. You want me. Far as I'm concerned that's a compliment."

[pocketpretzels]

"But it means giving up being the one in control of the situation," Watts said. "Some don't care for that."

[hasaknightjob]

"I see." Steven considered it. "No. Still fine. I trust you. I know you'll not do anything horrible. And I like making you happy."

[pocketpretzels]

"I'd never wish to hurt you," Watts said. "That's very important to me."

[hasaknightjob]

"You don't," Steven said. He nuzzled Llewellyn's cheek. "It's never struck me as being about hurt. If anything, it's about me being valued. You care for me so much it makes you happy."

[pocketpretzels]

"I do," Watts said. "I love you so very much, and the feel of your mouth on me- it's wonderful. Nothing like it."

[hasaknightjob]

Steven wasn't sure how to respond to that with anything but a kiss. So naturally he went in for a kiss.

[pocketpretzels]

"Just like that, yes," Watts had to agree.

[hasaknightjob]

"I'm fond of it as well," Steven said, between kisses. "And you."

[pocketpretzels]

"I like this as well," Watts said. "Just- being with you, after. No fears regarding being caught in a compromising position."

[hasaknightjob]

Steven hugged Llewellyn protectively. "I like this as well. Just being with you, happy in love."

[pocketpretzels]

"All else could be taken from me, but I would remain content so long as I had you," Watts told him.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven hugged him even tighter. "I'd not let anything take me from you, I promise. If it did I'd do everything in my power to get back to you."

[pocketpretzels]

"I know you would," Watts said. "I trust you with my whole heart, my Gentleman Knight."

[hasaknightjob]

Steven put his hand over the heart in question. "And I trust you with my entire body, my dearest Llew."

[pocketpretzels]

Watts let Steven's hand rest there for a minute, just enjoying the touch. Then he took Steven's hand in his and raised it to his lips so he could press a gentle kiss to Steven's knuckles. "Means a great deal to me that you would."

[hasaknightjob]

"It's an earned trust," Steven said. "I don't tell you that lightly. You take wonderful care of me. In all things."

[pocketpretzels]

"Because I treasure you," Watts said. "And I want you to feel treasured, always."

[hasaknightjob]

"I do," Steven said. "Here and in all things. You? You feel loved and precious?"

[pocketpretzels]

"I do," Watts affirmed. "If a little greedy sometimes."

[hasaknightjob]

"I don't mind being something you feel greedy about," Steven said. "It's nice to be wanted. Desired."

[pocketpretzels]

"You're very desirable indeed," Watts said, a lascivious look in his eyes.
