I can create fire out of thin air. I think you're just jealous that I'm sitting on this chair and not your lap.

[Oh, her view was nice as well, seeing him there in her bed. It made her want to climb over him and do all sorts of wicked things, but she wouldn't.

For now.]

Mm. What do you want, Ser Templar?

I am not jealous of a chair. It can't even appreciate your ass sitting in it.

[Which was a shame because he could appreciate her ass and it should be appreciated yet it was not sitting in his lap. A tragedy.]

Hmm, I think we should declare the terms. What is a loss? If I leave this bed?

You've had ample time to appreciate it today and you haven't yet.

[His tragedy. Her advantage. She might not be a true adept at strategy but she thought she might be able to win this little match. Even if she didn't, it might just prove to be worthwhile.]

Whomever touches the other first loses. Fair?

There were other concerns first, my dear. Don't hold that against me.

[He nodded his head at her. Those were acceptable terms and he was happy to abide by them. He would find a way around them but he accepted them.]

And what do you want if you win?

[With a cluck of her tongue, she shook her head and leaned forward as if in true negotiations. It was something she'd been taught by her advisers. Always lean in as it showed command and confidence in oneself.

The simple fact that it helped highlight her less than ample breasts had nothing to do with it.]

No. I declared terms. You get to declare the spoils.

The true spoils are you, my dear. But if you win I give myself to you for a night. Whatever you order, I shall do even if it is walk the ramparts of Skyhold naked. If I win... you come spend time in the tavern again. You've missed a few nights.

[He let his eyes linger over her breasts because small or large they are beautiful.]

Is that agreeable to you?

[His gaze was almost as palpable as his hands and not for the first time, she felt herself longing for more of both. While she would do her best to stay resolute, she knew she wouldn't mind losing to him.]

You already have me, my Templar. All you would want from me is time drinking and carousing?

I want you to lay down your burdens for a night and spend time with your friends. Then we will go spend the rest of the evening in your room which only each other.

[He smirked at her as he stretched across her bed and laid his hand on his stomach.]

The last time I spent time with my friends in the tavern, I don't remember how I got back to my room.

[Her eyes followed the motion of his hand as her lips slowly curled.]

I haven't been a good friend as of late, have I?

The Iron Bull carried you. He said you weighed nothing.

[He left his hand there, left her to wonder if he would do anything or if he would simply tempt her.]

You've been busy. Everyone understands.

[Oh, he tempted her without doing much else but she wouldn't give in quite so easily. No, for the moment, she just leaned back and lifted her legs to rest on the edge of her desk as her hand dropped to mirror his on her own stomach. The angle was almost good enough to see everything she had to offer.

Almost.]

Is there nothing else you want me? Just a night in the tavern with friends?

I am a simple man of simple needs. Shouldn't you be working?

[She was rather distracting when she was like that but he did have very good control and a great deal of discipline.]

The Commander will be rather upset if you can't talk about those reports tomorrow.

Who says I'm not?

[Chuckling, she leaned back in the chair, stretching her arms high above her head before she set back to reading the report that had been plaguing her for a while now. Even now, there was something on her that had to be moving. A foot shifting side to side or fingers idly pattering out some rhythm. Even in sleep, she was rarely still.]

I can handle Cullen.

Oh, I think if you tried to handle Cullen he would stammer himself to death.

[He took his time looking her over, sighing softly at how beautiful she was. Win or lose this little bet of theirs he would enjoy this view and the result.]

He's quite shy.

[Just the thought of the Commander, a stammering mess, made Elareth snicker and shake her head a bit as she skimmed back over what she'd already read. Oh, she hadn't missed the little sigh but for once, she decided not to press him too much.]

You know, I used to wonder what it would be like to be with him. His head would've exploded.

Now you're trying to make me jealous.

[He frowned at her, clearly not pleased by the idea of her and the Commander. Cullen is a respected friend but Jove did not want him anywhere near Elareth.]

Not at all. It was an idle curiosity. Nothing more.

[She let her expression smooth out as she took in his frown before going back to her reading. Apparently she didn't have to make him jealous if that frown was any indication. Sighing softly, she leaned back a bit, her hair sliding down one shoulder as she tipped her head. Better reading from that angle, of course.]

[He's typically an understanding man but there are some things he's not good about and jealousy is one of them. He'll apologize later for being an idiot.]

We are both terrible at being idle.

[He shifted around on the bed to make himself more comfortable and went back to watching her. She was beautiful, truly beautiful, and he let his hand drift down to idly rub the front of his breeches.]

[In a way, it thrilled her to see it. To know that he wanted her so much, to see his face sour at the mention of another... She would never do anything to truly earn that jealousy but just knowing that she could was heady.

The moment his hand moved she glanced back up, her dark eyes following the motion. Seeing him there in her bed, touching himself made her want to moan but she wouldn't give in so easy.]</small] We haven't had time to be idle. I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

I can think of a few things we could do to keep ourselves busy.

[He was thinking of them now as he slowly rubbed his hand over the growing bulge in his pants. They could be doing some of those things now but they had their little bet and he was not ready to give in just yet.]

Especially alone together.

[No. No. She would not give in so easily. Not even when she wanted to crawl back into bed and let her hand join his. Not even as she let her tongue slip out to moisten her lips only to pull the lower between her teeth as she let her mind wander as well.

She might be holding the report, but it was all but forgotten as her own hand shifted to idly trace slim fingers along the swell of her breast.]

Oh? I can think of some as well. There's one that... always seems to spring to mind.

I would love to hear your ideas for what we could do.

[He smiled at her as he started to untie the laces of his breeches. They were getting a little tight and uncomfortable. After seeing her hand touching herself he could definitely think of some things they could do together.]

[She knew she had him when he started to work at his laces. After a quick trace of the rise of her nipple, she let her hand drop to idly stroke the valley between her breasts.]

Late at night, the war council is empty and I know for a fact the wartable is sturdy, but messing up the counters and markers wouldn't be a good thing. It would send Cullen into a tizzy. Being bent over it wouldn't disturb them too much, I'm sure.

[Her hand never stopped its stroking as she let her head tip back again with a soft sigh.]

I'd never be able to look at the table the same again.

Oh, how risky of you. I quite like this side of you.

[He reached into his pants and tugged his cock free, letting it lay against his stomach for her to see. This was what she did to him, made him ache for her. She had done nothing but sit there, naked and unashamed and he was bare before her without a care.]

We could go back to that little room in the stables. I can pick you up, hold you again the wall and fuck you. How does that sound, darling?

You're the pious man, not me. I've always been a bit wicked. Remember, I'm a heathen.

[Chuckling, she licked her lips again and this time, there was a clear tease there. Her fingers had inched up to flick at her nipple again, nail dragging along the peaking flesh time and time again. She couldn't help but shift a bit in her chair, sighing softly.]

You could fuck me against the wall in the Great Hall if you wanted. I'd let you have me anywhere, lover. All you have to do is ask.
