Demesne Snippets 4: Intimacy

"Are you sure you want to do this? We've never really done this before…"

A hand slapped down, making a meaty sound. "Come on. I have years of militia debauchery I need to catch up on."

"Erzebed…  you're shorter than me."

"Only by a few yustri. Now come on, it's your turn to get on my lap."

A chuckle. "Well, since you put it that way…"

There was the creak of weight being put on wood.

"Wait, wait, let me straighten out my legs. The bed is too low and my knees are too high. All right, try it again."

"How's this?"

"Well, it's already better than last time…"

"How are you liking the view?"

"Mikon, you know looking really doesn't do much for me… hmm…"

"Oh!"

"Ah, this feels much better."

Another chuckle. "So, you touch instead of look?"

"Keep laughing. It feels nice when you do it…"

"You never put you head there when we're in bed."

"Not my fault. Hard to put my head here when you're on top. Besides, we're both sweaty then. This feels much nicer… I now understand why they're pillows."

A giggle. "You like it, then?"

"I like it. Do you think you could keep your blouse on tonight?"

"Well, since you asked. But I'm taking it off when it's your turn with Rian, it'll just be too sweaty otherwise."

"Can you put it back on when we actually go to sleep?"

A fond sigh. "Erzebed… why do you seem to like the idea of me with my clothes on more than with them off?"

There was a brief silence, gentle and thoughtful. "I'm still getting used to being with a woman. You're my first."

"I thought this happened because—"

"You're my first. My real first. So… "

"I understand. Take your time. Figure out what you like. I'll be right here to do them for you."

"… thanks."

"It's my pleasure. Now, besides putting your face on my pillows… what else did you want to do?"

"Well, since you're already on my lap… Hmm. These are nice and soft too…"

"Erzebed, since it's your first time, let me give you some advise."

"Yes?"

"Fingers further apart, and don't use just the tips. That kind of pinching isn't fun. Not down there at the back, anyway."

"Oh, sorry!"

"It's fine. But if you want to try pinching like that… put your hand here and… Ah!"
