The Full Dragon Age: The Veilguard Fanfic: A Great Night

Oh my gods, this was a huge labor of love. I loved writing this thing! Every second of it. Now, all the chapters have been edited, fixed and put into one big post. (Btw a fun fact, this thing is 69 pages long lmao.) Please enjoy my fanfic! Tell me how you like it!

As Always, This Fanfic is 18+ No Minors! Reader Discretion is Advised.

Chapter 1.

Contains: Heavy Flirting, Sexual and Romantic Tension, Soft Moments, Breaking into A Library, Combat, Magic, Heavy Making Out, Neck Biting, Hair Grabbing, Shy Moments and Tense Moments.

“This is stupid.”

“It’ll be fine. Quit messing with your tie! You’ll mess up my hard work!” I laughed.

“I look like… My cousin.” Lucanis said with a sigh.

I looked back into the mirror, staring at us and admired the handsome men standing before it with a very satisfied grin.

I started fixing up part of my long curly hair, tucking in some loose black strands. I then placed a gold bow towards the ends of my hair, making it into a loose ponytail. I watched the light catch the bluish tints of my black hair and make it pop and brighten. Lucanis’s hair almost seemed to glow with a slight purpleish tint in the candle light, the spark dancing on the tips that were slicked back against the side of his head.

I went out to Treviso the day before and got us nice looking outfits to wear on our night out from a tailor who owed me a favor. I was very specific with my wants, and Creators, did he deliver. Both outfits were lightweight but durable, and beautiful to look at.

I had a white shirt with gold detailings on the ruffles that ran down my chest and at the end of my arms. The shirt opened, exposing a bit of my chest and upper stomach. My gold face tattoos were almost glittering in the light reflected in the mirror.

Lucanis has a plain black shirt with purple details around the collar and the edges of the sleeves. He had it buttoned up all the way and tucked it inside of his pants, looking dashing and poised. A small purple tie hung down from his collar, swaying a bit with his movement. His dark eyes danced around the mirror. They never seemed to take a break from searching, never not moving.

Both of us were wearing black leather pants, with a thin black belt around our waist. Lucanis insisted on them so we could stow our weapons during the evening. Understandable compromise. He, however, lined his entire belt with small knives. And two daggers at his side.

I just had some poison vials and two daggers hanging off of my side. I did argue that that many knives were unnecessary but Lucanis said you could never have too many.

I chose to let it be and just let him do what made him more comfortable. After all, I wanted him to have a good time tonight. I just wished he didn’t look like a walking armory while we were out.

He does deserve a break after two months of working. I figured I should be the one to ask him on this night out, since we had been working closely with each other. We would have had more company but Taash kept calling it a date and refused to come and Davrin just gave me a small smirk when I asked him to come along followed by him saying: “Have fun with Lucanis.”

I shook their words and sly expressions from my head and just continued my smile towards Lucanis. After all, this was not a date. It's a simple night out.

“Your cousin has good taste in fashion then!” I said with a smirk.

“I am glad he is not here to hear you say that.”

Lucanis scoffed and continued to mess with the tie. I just sighed and turned him towards me.

“Let me fix it.” I huffed, my hands twitching as I smelled his cologne on him. “I thought you would be used to ties. You are always so nicely dressed.”

Lucanis jolted a bit as I touched him, his dark eyes watching me extremely close, but slowly put his hands down as I fixed his tie.

“Is this night out really necessary? We have work to do.” Lucanis yawned, blinking his dark eyes slowly. “Besides, I need coffee…”

“We deserve a break. Come on, I know you aren’t sociable, buuuttt it might be nice! To get out and enjoy Treviso! We haven’t been home in so long, we should enjoy it while we’re here! Get into trouble! Get some drinks! Tear it up!”

“Treviso has been torn up enough.” Lucanis said bluntly, before gently grabbing my shoulders. “If you think this is wise, then let's go, but I will keep up my guard. You should as well.”

“Well…” I began, looking into his dark eyes and I almost felt myself melting. “Try to have fun, even on guard. For me, okay?”

I saw Lucanis’s eyes soften as I asked, before Spite flew out of Lucanis’s back and spun towards me.

“Ha! Have fun?! Not this guy. Doesn’t know fun if it STABBED HIM IN THE BACK.”

Lucanis groaned in annoyance and was about to say something but I cut him off, laughing. I then pointed at Spite, walking up to him.

“You. Take a break tonight, alright? Trust me. You’ll get some action. Plenty of action! You won't be bored. Just let Lucanis have some quiet time. Okay?”

Spite growled a bit, looking back at Lucanis before looking back at me.

“You promise? That I won't be bored? Don’t lie to me, Little Crow.” He growled back at me.

“I swear.” I said, smiling back.

He looked back at Lucanis and scoffed before disappearing. Lucanis held his head for a moment before groaning.

“You handle him well. I thought, maybe, he’d prove… too much for you. He proves almost too much for me sometimes.”

“Oh gods no. Nothing is too much for me. Trust me, I can handle the ghast. This one job had me…Well, let's just say I am used to dealing with difficult people.” I said confidently.

Lucanis cracked a small smile. “Good to know.”

I felt my face get slightly hot, and I faced the mirror once more.

“Well look at us! Two handsome men who are about to have a nice night for themselves. Can't wait to see where the night takes us!”

Lucanis just looked in the mirror and sighed defeatedly, walking out of the room.

I laughed and followed right behind him, eager to see my home again.

——————————————

This is a bad idea.

No it isn’t, Solas.

The elven gods wreak havoc and you are just-

Getting yelled at by you. I am trying to have fun. More fun than I have had in a while with a guy I like being around. Taking a moment away to enjoy the views and enjoy my life while I still have it.

You won't have a life long if you continue to ignore them.

And I won't have a life at all if I bust my ass all the time, working. I need a break. Just relax for a bit, okay?

“Solas talking to you?” Lucanis spoke up.

I didn’t realize that as we were walking down the streets of Treviso that Lucanis got really close to my ear, whispering into it.

I jolted and blushed from his closeness, tucking some stray hair behind my ear. The tips of my ears feeling hot.

“Y-yes.” I coughed and straightened up, putting on my confident swagger. “A heated discussion, but it’s alright. I'd rather focus on the real world right now. You, especially, are something I’d rather focus on.~”

Lucanis seemed to look away, his face tilting down before facing forward, his thumbs tucked into his belt.

“I cannot be that interesting to you.” he said quietly.

“I’ll have to disagree with you, my friend. You are so handsome and mysterious, I just want to delve into your cavern of secrets.” I purred.

Lucanis only huffed and looked off to the side, walking alongside me. Some people walked by us and smiled. Some I winked at and even blew a kiss to. Some returned them as they walked on past. Others stopped to talk and flirt with us as we traveled into the busy shopping area in Treviso. However, One person stopped us in particular and motioned for us to come into a nearby alleyway and handed me a note. They were wearing dark garb and staying in the shadows, away from any light. The Antivan Crow symbol on the front of the note in fresh black ink.

“Contract.” They said delicately.

“Right now?” I huffed, annoyed.

“They will be in town for a few nights. Do not waste time, Demitrix.” They said, baring teeth. “You are still a Crow.”

Lucanis spoke up. “We will take it.”

The figure then nodded and left quickly. Leaving us to return to the light of the sidewalks lanterns.

“Look, I said no work. This is our rest night. We need a break.”

“I never said I’d do it right now.” Lucanis corrected, his eyes narrowing down at me. “I agreed to your ‘rest night’ and I am not properly dressed for a job. Let’s get this night over with and then I can work on it.”

I looked away, steeling myself against the sting of his words. I then let out a smile and looked at him.

“Whatever you want, Lucanis.”

Although he obviously didn’t see any negative expressions, something about my mannerisms and voice let slip that I was upset, because his eyes seemed to have softened. His body was not as tense as before. I saw his hand twitch but then balled up into a fist and looked forward walking.

“Come. Show me this bar we’re supposed to be going to.”

Shit. How could he tell? I must be slipping. Can't let him see that I was upset. Gotta show him I am unaffected. Focus, Demitrix.

I kept up my charm, pointing out the different places as we walked past.

“Well there's lots of fun little dives around here that could offer a ton of entertainment! This place over here-“

I stopped and turned, Lucanis gone from my side. A quick little search though was enough to see where he was.

Outside of a small library, Lucanis was peeking inside at a small figurine of what looked like a dragon sitting on a rock. I walked over softly to see that the label said “Wyvern”.

“You like Dragons?” I asked gently.

“I love wyverns.” He said with a smile.

Cute.

He then frowned looking at the statue.

“You’re frowning.”

“Because that's a dragon figurine.”

“So?”

“It’s not a wyvern. They don’t even look similar.”

Lucanis’s hands itched for a moment. He looked like he really didn’t like that label, almost painful for him to see it. I really wanted to make him happy tonight, and I tended to go against my better judgment anyway. I started running into the alleyway right next to the building, a concerned Lucanis following after me.

“Demitrix?!” He yelled following after me. “What are you doing? The bars are-“

“We should fix that label.” I said with a smirk looking for a backdoor. “People are going to think that's a wyvern.”

“Some will, but it is clearly a Dragon. Wyverns don’t look like that. They have little webbed flaps that stick out from their joints that help them glide. They can't fully fly.”

“You really like wyverns.”

“I don’t like wyverns.” He turned to me with the most deadpan expression. “I LOVE wyverns.”

I did find a side door near the end of the building but it was locked.

“Damn. I didn’t bring my lockpicks.”

I looked up the building, and started to scale up the wall, grabbing onto jutted out parts of stone and rock. Lucanis started following after me, cursing under his breath.

“Demitrix! Meirda…” he sighed as I started climbing over the side onto the roof. “Is all this necessary?”

“Sí.” I shot back.

He then paused a moment before chuckling.

“Fine. Let's make it quick.”

We managed to climb up to the roof where we searched for a way in. Lucanis ended up finding an unlocked ceiling hatch and opened it up quietly.

“Quickly. Let's go.”

“How are we getting back out?”

“You’ll see. Go in.”

“I do love mysterious types. So exciting.” I purred.

I jumped down, staying still for a moment to let my eyes adjust to my surroundings. The light from the hatch shone down on me and cast a bit of light around the spot.

Definitely just a standard library after hours. The whole place smelled of old parchment and aged leather. No candles lit and no people around too. I listened for any noises that didn’t come from outside just to see if we were truly alone and once I determined that nobody was here, I signaled Lucanis to come down and he landed right next to me with feline grace.

“This is fun.” I whispered.

Lucanis then shushed me and started walking towards the front, crawling on his hands and knees to keep out of sight from the window.

I climbed up on a nearby bookcase and crouched on the top of it, watching Lucanis from afar. Even as he moved, he was as silent as a mouse. It was very impressive to watch him, especially from the back of him. Though, I need to determine if we could get back out easier with the hatch. I turned to look at the hatch and the height of the bookcases and hopped to the closest one nimbly, staying quiet. When I got back over to it, it looked a bit tall for us to leap back up to it and climb out. Just in case if we need a plan B, I decided to try and look for some lock picks to try and open the back door out of here. Sometimes, people DO have them just to make sure they can get into doors they accidentally lock themselves out of and with some luck, I was hoping I could find some.

I crawled back down and started up towards what I perceived as a counter and started sifting through as I got behind it, feeling for lock picks in the small cupboards.

As I searched, I suddenly felt a body press up against me from behind, pinning me to the cupboards and covering my mouth. I looked up to see Lucanis hunkering down with me, shushing me silently.

I blushed hard and my pants suddenly felt tighter, dirty thoughts filling my head.

“I hear something. Something down below.” He whispered in my ear.

I pulled my mouth away from his hand.

“Lucanis, You can't… just grab my mouth and… press up-“

He silenced me again with his hand, this time holding me tighter against his chest.

“Stop. Talking.”

I shuddered, feeling his hips against mine.

Yes sir~

A light suddenly appeared in the back of the library around the corner where we were hunkered down. A couple of figures walked past the counter with lanterns, wearing the cloaks and outfits of Venatori thugs.

I felt Lucanis’s grip on my mouth tightened, his eyes starting to flicker with purple light. His arm shook with anger. I shook my head to get him to notice me, to stop him from summoning spite, which seemed to work.

He slowly let go of me, and nodded towards them.

“They die.” He whispered softly.

“They die.” I nodded.

We both drew our daggers, sneaking out from behind the counter. Lucanis went to the left side of the library where I went to the right side, watching and following the Venatori nutcases like a wolf stalking its prey. Lucanis positioned himself on the opposite side of me as they searched, watching the two lackeys shine the lantern around, while we were easily avoiding the light.

“I know I heard something.” One of them said.

It was a maskless Venatori, their eyes darting around in fear.

“Why would anyone suspect us here? Or even break into a library? Look, there's obviously no one here, let’s just leave.”

Lucanis slipped some of the small knives into his hand, putting them between his fingers, ready to throw.

I started to move towards them but Lucanis saw me moving closer and put up a hand to get me to wait.

As they walked away from us, that's when he signaled for us to strike.

Lucanis quickly threw his blade into the back of the left one’s neck while I ran up and stuck one of my blades into the right one's back, twisting and covering his exposed mouth with my other hand. While Lucanis’s guy went down easily, the right one whirled around with the lantern, screaming into my hand and swung me around.

“Lucanis! Little help!” I yelled.

Lucanis ran over, ready to throw another knife but the guy reached back and threw me into Lucanis, both of us toppling onto the floor landing on top of each other.

The Venatori however, screamed, before falling over and dropping the lantern.

“Next time, sink your blade deeper!” Lucanis yelled.

“Thanks for the tip, Master Crow!” I yelled back.

We quickly got up, running to the shadows once more as two more came up and into the library, one obviously a mage and another a rogue. The rogue stepped in front of the mage, brandishing daggers, looking around. His eyes, darting around.

“Stay behind me, Sylvia. They are still here.” The rogue spoke quickly.

“They won't be hidden for long.“ Sylvia said.

She swung her staff as it glowed with greenish yellow light and all the candles and torches in the library flickered on with Veilfire.

Fuck.

The rogue saw me first and ran towards me, trying to dual strike me from the front but I brought up both my blades and parried. The hilts of our daggers catching and holding us there.

“You worthless little elf… I’ll cut off your ears and make you scream for death!” He snarled.

“Oh you Venatori really know how to talk dirty~” I purred back.

I shoved myself forward, to knock him off balance, knocking us both into the ground, and barely dodging a shot of lightning going past my head.

“Kill the damn elf!” Sylvia screamed.

I knew Lucanis could handle the mage, all I was worried about was killing this rogue. As we wrestled around on the ground. I ended up using one of my dirty tactics to place a well aimed knee to his crotch, which caused him to yell in agony and loosen his grip on me.

I took the moment to then quickly grab his throat while he remained on top of me, roll on top of him, and then bring my blade across his neck. Quickly, I got off of him before any blood began to spray on me.

Sylvia, however, had Lucanis pinned. She was aiming at Lucanis who was dodging behind the book cases as she fired lightning at him, getting closer and closer to hitting him.

Not thinking, I ran over and picked her up from behind, lifting her into the air to give Lucanis time to run in and finish her off.

I, however, forgot for a moment that she was a mage.

She grabbed my arms as I hoisted her into the air and shocked me good. A thousand pinpricks ran through my arms and into my chest, causing my whole body to feel like it was on fire from how strong the shock was, my body becoming numb and then paralyzed.

My head felt dizzy from the damage, making the room spin around me. I fell to the floor with a thud, dropping Sylvia as well and passing out.

When I came to, Lucanis was shaking me awake. His face splattered with blood.

“Demitrix?!” He gasped.

“Yeah…” I wheezed, my joints stiff for a moment. “I just needed a nap… Still alive…”

He laughed, sighing a breath of relief.

“Maker, you are an idiot.” He sighed, moving hair out of my face. “I thought you were dead!”

“What? Missed me already?” I flirted, winking up at him. “I could never leave you behind.”

His eyes got big, a bright flush spread across his face and then a softer smile appeared.

That's when he leaned down and kissed me deeply, his lips pressed hard against mine.

My whole body went stiff again. I could feel my face flush and my lips twitch. In my weakened state, I just easily melted back into his kiss. Not a care in my mind.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, and pulled him onto me, our shared kiss becoming more passionate and more crazed as my tongue wrapped around his.

He then reached up, grabbing at my scalp and gripping my roots, and pulled my head back. My neck became exposed to him and he quickly bit into it. Moaning longingly into my flesh.

“L-Lucanis…!” I cried out as I clawed into his back. “Maker, you’re going crazy… I love it!”

I arched my back as he bit harder, my heart racing in my chest.

This is really happening. It’s really happening. Lucanis is about to fuck me.

Before we got too wild, we heard knocking at the front door.

“This is the Antivan Guard! Open up this door! Or we will break it open!”

Lucanis quickly got off of me, pulling me up off the floor, motioning to the hatch. I nodded and climbed up the bookcase after him and watched him leap up the hatch and climb onto the roof. Just as I leaped and caught the edge of the hatch, the door started being kicked open.

I quickly scampered up onto the roof, and closed the latch quietly, before Lucanis and I took off, darting across the rooftops of Treviso and away from the sight of the guard.

We finally slowed down on a roof overlooking a market square. Both of us panting and then slowly started laughing.

“You… Moron! All that for a mislabeled dragon statue?” Lucanis struggled to get out.

A wild smile spread across his face.

“It looked like it really bothered you!” I chuckled, taking a deep breath. “I wanted to fix the problem.”

“You are sweet…” He said sheepishly.

“I know~ oh Lucanis… you have blood on you.”

I started to use my hand to wipe the blood from his face, but he grabbed my hand and gently held it there for a moment, almost like… he was enjoying it.

I blushed but didn’t move. I didn’t want him to let go of me, but I felt fear crawl up my spine from this new feeling… like butterflies in my stomach and I gently moved my hand.

“Lucanis…?”

He almost snapped back to reality so quickly, standing up, looking as poised as before. It was almost… disheartening? I almost felt disappointed? I pushed them down for the moment and looked up at him with a smile.

“Whats up, handsome?~”

Lucanis’s face blushed brightly but quickly looked away, clearing his throat.

“Well. Now that we’re out of that little bind.” He said, looking down at me. “Let’s…continue with our night.”

Chapter 2

Contains: Heavy Flirting, Protectiveness, Fluff, Danger Kink Implied, and Talking Out Confusing Feelings, Coffee Date.

Warning: Mentions of Slavery, Abduction and Unwanted Sexual Advances.

We climbed down from the roof we escaped to into a little hidden garden that was tucked away from the sight of the market down the street.

The Andraste’s Grace that was surrounding us in this garden was now blooming under the moonlit sky along with lots of Blood Lotus and Lilies. A large fountain bubbled water in the middle of the garden. Music floating along in the wind from the market's minstrels.

“Oh Andrastes Grace! What a beautiful flower.” I doted, touching the soft petals. “I didn't think I’d find them here, they’re naturally a wildflower.”

“You like that flower?” Lucanis asked curiously.

“It’s not my favorite but I do like it. It has a very clean smell...”

“I see.” Lucanis cleared his throat, making his way out towards a nearby gate. “What is your favorite flower then?”

I followed after him but didn't answer. I was always nervous sharing THAT kind of personal information with others. Sharing ANY kind of personal information. It could lead to a messy road and could lead me into a trap later. Survival was always a must for me.

Still. His eyes looked at me so genuinely, and I felt my resolve weaken. Like any safeguards that I put up are starting to crumble to anything this man wants.

Especially now, after we shared that deep kiss in the library.

Lucanis looked slightly put off when I didn’t answer, turning his head away as we walked into the market together.

I sighed, my heart beating quicker.

“Felicidus Aria.”

“Bless you.” He smirked.

“Ass.” I laughed, punching his arm. “That's my favorite flower. Why you want to know that is beyond me but… It's a rare flower. Got that way from over foraging for the root. People use it to make Ambrosia, but I love it for its…symbol.”

“Its symbol?” Lucanis tilted his head.

“It’s also called the Silent Plains Rose. My clan used to move through the Silent Plains as we traveled back and forth in between Tevinter and Nevarra, hoping to spot one as we traveled through. We considered it lucky. That our journey was blessed somehow.”

“You said you are from Antiva. That Antiva is your home. You never mentioned you were part of a clan.” Lucanis noted.

“Two things can be true at the same time, Lucanis.”

“Is your clan-“

“No. I dont think they’re gone. I hope so, at least. It’s been twelve years since I saw them.”

My mind wandered a bit to that little Dalish boy fighting his fellow friends with wooden swords and listening to his Hahren tell stories around the campfire. How innocent and happy he was. How unaware. I wondered. Who would he be if he didn’t stray…?

“If you don’t mind me asking, what happened?” Lucanis gently prodded.

“Does it matter?”

Lucanis took a minute, pausing to look around us. He then pulled me over to a spot by a wall not occupied by people or a vendor and leaned against the wall with me.

“I just wish to know more about you. You know much about me, but…” Lucanis trailed off, trying to find the words again. “You yourself are mysterious. I also figured you didn’t want to talk with people moving around you.”

“Mystery is hot~”

“So I’ve been told.” He said slyly, the corner of his lip curling into a smile. “You’re also avoiding the question. If you don’t wish to talk about it-“

“Fine! Fine. You might as well know a little bit. I better hear about your tragic backstory as well, Lucanis. I’ll make sure to interrogate you as well for your favorite things.” I chuckled.

He only chuckled back, now watching me with soft but focused eyes.

I adjusted, letting the memory of the events come back to me. All of it still so clear in my head.

“I… I was abducted. When I was 14, I strayed too far from camp. I was training with my bow and got lost. I wandered until evening, finding a group of humans. I went to them for help, going against the teachings of my Hahren. I just wanted to go back home and thought maybe… They could help me find a clue of where they were. They took me instead. Tevinter slavers. They traveled with me and a few other prisoners until they needed to make a supply run in Antiva. It was there where I finally got loose and ran for it through the streets of Antiva City. I ran into a passing Antivan Crow with the slaver hot on my trail. In a last moment of desperation, I pulled the knife from the Crows belt before he could stop me and when the slaver grabbed me, I plunged the knife into his throat. I was told that I kept stabbing until the Antivan Crow stopped me.”

“That's how you became an Antivan Crow.” Lucanis said slowly.

“Yeah. Twelve years later, here we are.” I said as I took a bow. “Now you know my story.”

Lucanis frowned, his eyes towards the crowd for a minute, deep in thought. He then turned to me.

“Thank you for telling me. It probably wasn’t easy.”

“No, but you asked.”

He smiled at me, his hair flowing down his shoulder.

I blushed as he smiled and stammered as I quickly walked into the crowd.

“C-Come, let’s have some fun! You still craving that coffee?” I asked hurriedly.

Lucanis seemed to perk up a bit, his eyes softening. Almost looked desperate.

“Badly.”

“Let’s go find some. It’s still early in the night.”

————————————————

We took off, walking around the busy streets to find a small late night coffee bar.

People inside were drinking, loudly singing and dancing, and even some sex workers were sitting on some people's laps, trying to seduce their way to coin.

Ah, home. I love it.

However, Lucanis looked extremely uncomfortable. He sat down at the bar and looked around, closing his eyes for a second. He took a deep breath and seemed like he was… listening? After a minute of him doing that, he seemed to calm a bit, and then looked at me.

“What?”

“You okay?” I chuckled.

“Yes, just… getting my bearings.” He said, yawning.

“If this is too much-“

“No. I WANT to be here. I need coffee or I am not going to be a very pleasant person to be around.”

I laughed and walked over to the bar, sitting on a stool.

“Let’s get you your fix.”

The barista looked back at us, a pretty Antivan girl with warm earthy skin and long, wavy dark brown hair. Her eyes, deep pools of amber. Her smile appeared and she walked over to us.

“How can I help, gentlemen?”

“Hello gorgeous-“

“Two caffe, please. Two for him as well.” Lucanis interrupted.

I stared at him as the girl chuckled and walked away.

“Right away.”

He looked at me with a confused face, his eyebrow going up.

“What was that?” I asked.

“What was what?” He shot back.

“The complete lack of charm? The interrupting??”

“I want my coffee, I do not want to waste time flirting with the barista. I am already very close to murdering the man in the back corner of the room, smacking his lips as he’s eating.” Lucanis ranted.

He then looked like he had seen a ghost and pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

“Oh Meirda… I had this same conversation with Illario in a place like this.”

“Your cousin, right?”

“Sí. My cousin.”

“I see. You sound fond and… not fond of him.”

“It’s complicated.”

“Tell me about it.” I leaned in.

“Another time. Perhaps in private. Suffice it to say that my cousin… acts like you a bit. Far more skilled though.” He said cheekily.

“Far more skilled?! Fenhedis- How is he more skilled than I?” I huffed.

“First of all, he actually can kill a guy in one stab.”

“Oh come on! I am an archer! I’m much better with arrows. Trust me, my master gave up on me using daggers.”

“All I am hearing is excuses.” He sang.

“Fine. You teach me then.” I spat back.

The barista came over with our cups, placing them down for us and smiling at me.

“Drink up, signori”

“Grazie, signora.” I purred at her.

I then turned to Lucanis who was already sipping his drink, his face showing mass amounts of elation and comfort after the first sip.

I looked around at everyone having fun and dancing, and then looked back at Lucanis. His eyes shining in the candle light, his hair shimmering and his skin glowing. He seems to have settled in nice for a moment. Like his whole form changed just from a sip of coffee.

Fair though.

Never get between an Antivan and their coffee.

Though I did think about how uncomfortable he was walking in. Being surrounded by people. It must’ve been harder than ever for him to be social after being locked away and tortured for a year.

I just hoped I wasn’t forcing him to be uncomfortable. I just wanted him to be happy. To have fun and just relax.

Wait, why? Why do I care so much about HIS happiness? Why is that the only thing on my mind? I wasn't this way with Davrin. Or Taash.

Why is Lucanis’s happiness really important to me?

A hand abruptly grabbed onto my shoulder and a human man turned me around in my stool to face him, pushing himself in between my legs.

“Well hello there, pretty lady~ Couldn’t help but notice you looked a little lost in thought. Howz about you and I spend the evening together, ey? Get your mind off whatevas gotch you down. Whatdaya say?~”

I chuckled, playing cute.

Don’t punch him. Don’t punch him.

“Oh my! So forward! I don't know…” I giggled.

If he thinks I’m a woman, I am not going to argue with him. I don’t know if he knows his own name with how much beer is on his breath. I just don’t want another fight to break out.

Lucanis got up from his chair, and pushed himself between the man and I, staring the man down with a very intense and sharp look.

“I am afraid they are with me tonight, signore.”

The guy stumbled back a bit, looking Lucanis up and down.

“Who ere you, then? Huh? Some well dressed noble twat not fully off of mommas tit? The lady-“

“Leave them alone. You’ve had enough to drink and they are not interested. Just step away from them.”

“Luca, it’s alright.” I called out, my pants getting tight again watching Lucanis defend me. “I am not worth getting into a fight over.”

“You heard the whore. Get outta my way-“

Lucanis swiftly brought his daggers out and criss crossed them up to the man’s neck, keeping him in place.

“Leave. Last warning.”

The man stood there for a moment before backing away into the crowd and spitting at Lucanis’s feet.

“Whatever. Ere’s Plenty of other whores around!” He sang out.

Lucanis then turned towards me with a confused look.

“Luca?” He asked.

I jolted, slowly feeling hot with embarrassment.

“Uh, shit. It’s… a nickname. Your name just shortened.”

He sheathed his daggers, then his eyes looked down at my lap.

“Why are you…?” He trailed off.

“Why am I…?” I looked down and immediately crossed my leg over my other. “No reason!”

Lucanis laughed a bit but said nothing more on it, sitting back down at the bar.

“You didn’t need to threaten him. I can handle myself just fine. It’s not the first time I’ve used my body to avoid trouble.”

“Why? You may not be skilled with your daggers, but you can still use them to defend yourself.”

“I don’t just do it for that. I do it for fun~ To get close to a contract. To avoid trouble.” I began, sipping my coffee. “I am rather skilled at it.”

“If it works for you. I just… didn’t like the way he was touching you.”

“Why? I am sure you’ve seen worse with Illario if he’s like me.”

“Much worse.” He laughed, turning towards the counter again. “I don’t know why I didn’t like it. It just felt wrong.”

“Felt wrong? Are you alright?” I asked, now concerned.

“I…I don’t know. I feel different right now. Somehow.”

I then thought about the kiss. How he hugged my body close to his. How he gripped my hair. I rubbed the spot on my neck where he had bitten into, Feeling a tender area. Likely bruised.

“I think you marked me.” I chuckled.

“What?” He said looking over and coughed in surprise. “Ah. That.”

“Are we really wanting to avoid this conversation? Things got pretty… steamy in the library.”

Lucanis stayed quiet, staring into his coffee cup intensely. His eyes darted around, as if trying to find answers in the cup or on the bar.

“I… I thought you were gone.”

“So? I woke up.”

“You were out for 3 minutes.”

“That’s it?” I joked, looking at my nails. “I must be getting better at waking up. Last time I was knocked out was for 5 minutes and that-“

“That isn’t funny.” Lucanis said sharply.

I closed my mouth. Putting my hands in my lap slowly, I was now looking over at him.

“I… I was worried. Very worried that I would never get to… hear you again. I don’t know why that bothered me so much! I mean, I was about to start dragging you out of there to take you back to the Lighthouse. To get help. Until you started stirring.” Lucanis said strained.

“Luca…”

“And then when you awoke I just… reacted. I was relieved and then you smiled and I just…”

I felt the blood rush to my face, the urge to smile was rising and rising fast.

He… doesn’t know why he’s acting like this either.

“Kissed me.” I finished.

“When I started, I just couldn’t stop. Every impulse, every part of my upbringing told me to stop but I just couldn’t.”

I scooted closer to him, putting my hand on his back.

“You really… you really felt that way?” I smiled.

Why did that make my heart race?

“Yes… After that, all I… I wanted… The noises you made when I bit you were...” Lucanis chuckled softly, struggling with his words. “It was intoxicating…”

Our eyes locked. His dark eyes were almost lighter looking into mine. A color of dark chocolate brown colors, with hints of purple in the iris. His lips were now very close to mine.

“Intoxicating? You sounded like you really enjoyed them. I heard you moan as well.” I cooed.

I stared at his lusciously thick lips, putting my hand on his thigh. His body reacted by shuddering. I watched his throat gulp and looked into his eyes again. His breathing was getting quicker.

“I was about to do something crazy…”

“Kind of want you do something crazy…~”

The barista started ringing a cowbell.

“Last call! After you’re done here, go find an actual bar to drink your sorrows away!”

I groaned a bit, looking over at Lucanis who moved away quickly, gulping down the rest of his coffee.

“Come on, Demitrix. Let’s… go find something else to do, I guess.”

I sighed and hopped off the chair.

“Are you sure? You looked tense the entire time we were in here.”

Lucanis just scoffed.

“I am always tense.”

“Still, I don't want-“

“I just want to do whatever you decide. Name a place and we will go there.” He interrupted.

Think, Demitrix. Think. What would be fun for both of us to do together? What would be familiar for Lucanis?

I suddenly had an idea. A smile curling on my lips.

“I have an idea. Two things need to happen first.”

“What needs to happen?” Lucanis urged.

“We need a change of clothes, and I need my bow.”

“Your bow? A change of clothes? Why?”

“Well, the reason why depends.” I smiled coyly.

“On?”

“You still got that contract on you~?” I purred.

“Of course?”

His face lit up with realization.

“Well. Let’s fulfill it.~”

After sneaking in and out of the Lighthouse to grab our gear, Lucanis and I ran across the roofs of Treviso towards our target’s destination.

I was hopping and flipping over alleyways, laughing and feeling the wind on my face as we kept hopping past each other.

I haven’t felt so free in months, even Lucanis looked like he was more comfortable. More mobile and agile, though his gaze fell on me often as I watched him. A smile appeared every time I caught his sight.

We both rolled onto a roof, panting a bit. I took the moment to stretch and fix my crow mask on my face.

“Were you serious about that dagger training?” Lucanis asked.

“If you don’t think I am a lost cause. I am up for a bit of knowledge.” I chuckled.

“You’re not a lost cause yet.” He smirked, motioning to his feet. “Come here.”

I froze when he commanded me like that and I walked over to him, looking confused.

“What's going on?” I asked nervously.

“Take out your daggers.”

I watched him, slowly taking them out of their holsters and holding them firmly.

“Right now?”

“You need to learn someday.”

He stepped closer to me, getting behind me, whispering into my ear in a dark tone.

“You have a lot of strength as an archer so use that to your advantage. With a bow, it’s easy to make quick, quiet and non-messy kills if you are accurate. With a dagger, it’s more personal. More close. Precision and speed is needed If you want quick and clean kills. Strength as well if you need to pierce them deep.

Don’t get hard. Don’t get hard. Don’t get hard.

“Y-yeah? Okay. So.. How do I apply that?” I stuttered.

He took one of my wrists, and brought my dagger up to my neck gently.

“Slitting their throat is popular but it gets messy if you cut too deep.”

Ooooh, Maker. Grant me strength.

He then brought the tip of my dagger to the side of it, pointing it at the crook of my neck.

“Same if you were to sink your blade here.”

He glided around me to the front, and lifted my wrist to his chest, the knife pointing in the middle of his chest.

“Use your strength to plunge your knife into the chest, past the bone, and directly in the heart. If you aim lower, angle it so you push upwards into the heart.”

“Yes, sir~” I purred.

My mind was now swimming in his touch, my body getting hot. Thank the gods that this outfit hides boners really well. Though, it didn't stop my member from hurting as it pressed against the leather.

“Try to remember where bones are in the body and the vital points of striking are. These will be-“

He sighed and smiled at me, letting go of my wrist.

“You are getting distracted. Did you even listen to a word I said?” He lectured.

“Every word.” I smiled coyly.

“What did I say?” He asked, crossing his arms. “Tell me.”

I walked up to him with my hands behind my back, looking him in the eyes.

“Depends. If I can't remember, are you gonna touch me again?”

“You are… very forward.”

“So, I’ve been told.” I giggled, looking up at him, and getting closer to his face. “I love how gentle you are with me~”

“Demitrix…!” Lucanis stammered, his face filling with pink color, his eyes getting so big. “We… You…We have a job and you are…”

I pressed myself into him, my hands on his chest. His hands grabbed my wrists, but didn’t pull them off. His eyes danced and watched mine, looking pained but also wanting. I could feel his heartbeat quicken with mine.

“You are so cute when you are flustered~” I chuckled.

“I… wow… I well…Trix.. you and I…” He fumbled.

I suddenly became flushed. My heart was almost exploding in my chest.

“T-trix?” I gasped, looking up at him. “You… gave me a nickname…?”

“Y-yes…? You gave me one.” Lucanis said sheepishly.

“I… didn’t think you’d care enough to give me a nickname…”

“You cared to give me one.”

“I've… never been given one before…”

My heart beat faster, my mouth suddenly became dry. I became flushed when Spite popped out at that moment, growling.

“All this BLASTED dancing around. Are we murdering someone or are we fucking? If the body is not willing, the spirit is~”

“I thought I told you-“ I started scolding.

Lucanis interrupted.

“Trix, Ignore him. Let’s go.” Lucanis said curtly.

He started running, jumping onto the next roof and making his way back to the target. Spite disappearing with a satisfied grin.

I felt my chest tighten, watching him for a moment before running after him.

He actually cares? No… He can’t. He doesn't. But then, why do I hope?! Why do I hope he cares about me? I am not a… I am a tool. A weapon.

He cannot love a tool. I am… nothing to him.

Why does that thought hurt?

As we neared the inn the target was staying at, Lucanis and I hunkered down. I pulled out the contract details from my bag, reading them over again.

“Third floor Suite. Minimal Guards. Balcony. Lord Amadeus Baratani.”

Lucanis and I peeked up at a building in the distance. A tall tan stone laden building sat in the middle of a nicer district in Treviso. Lit lanterns decorated the sidewalks below, and just the details stated, a balcony at the third level. A guard standing at the railing, overlooking the walled off garden of the inn. No heavy armor. Just plain leather.

Lucanis chuckled.

“The guard. At the balcony. If he drops on the balcony, he won't make much noise. You should do some work finally. Show me how good of an archer you say you are.” He teased me.

Oh good, he’s back to bullying me.

I notched an arrow onto my bow and pulled back, using the wind as a guide for where my arrow would go and how much resistance it would have.

“My archery skills-“ I started to say as I shot my arrow. “Are never in question.”

The arrow flew off and as I predicted, curved through the air, sinking into the side of the guard’s head, making him drop onto the balcony floor.

Lucanis nodded and hurried to look over the side, checking for witnesses before we started hopping the roofs. I followed Lucanis so that I knew where to step until we reached the hotel's building.

“Those are some smooth walls. I think I have some pitons.” I chirped.

“Wait. Let’s avoid using the ground. Let’s use a hook.”

“You think you can get it to latch onto the railing without it scraping the floor of the balcony? Be my guest.”

He stared at me and then dug through my bag, grabbing the rope with a hook attached, and walked close to the edge of the roof. He swung the hook, still scanning for people below and then tossed it towards the balcony. While it was flying over the balcony, he yanked it midair and managed to hook it on the top of the railing without it scraping across something. He then turned and looked at me with a very smug look.

“You’re kidding me.” I huffed.

“That. Is what I mean when I think ‘nice and quiet’”

“Shut up. That wasn’t my fault, sir. We still got the job done in the end!”

He shook his head, sighing.

“Amateur. Get over here and hold on.”

I walked over and held onto him, secretly taking in his scent. We both then ran off the edge, swinging with Lucanis holding onto the rope. As the swinging gently stopped, we started hanging underneath the balcony. He looked down at me and nodded upwards to tell me to climb. I nodded back to him and climbed up him and then up the rope. Lucanis climbing up after me.

I crouched down low as he came up and slowly opened the door to the suite to peek in.

Inside, I saw a darkened sitting room. A door leading into the hotel and another door leading to what I assumed to be a bedroom.

“It’s clear. No one is inside right now.”

Lucanis had placed the body against the railing of the balcony to make it look like someone just sitting, with their legs dangling between the supports.

“Ooh, that's clever.”

“I had to break the arrow you shot.”

“Why?”

“Too much blood would come out. People down below would notice the dripping.”

“Fair.”

I opened the door and walked in, listening closely as we explored inside. After giving my eyes a moment to adjust to the dark, I started noticing details of the sitting room. A thin but tall empty bureau sat next to a fireplace that had two comfy chairs sitting in front of it. A small end table sat between the chairs, holding a bottle of, what looked to be, red wine.

The walls were decorated with paintings that looked to be of the Antivan countryside. A table that sat under a large mirror by the door to the hotel had papers scattered on it.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Lucanis peek into the bedroom, going in and shifting something around as he went in, but then he darted away from the door, over to me.

“People are coming. I hear them walking this way.” He spoke quietly.

“Quick, the bureau!”

I opened the door and climbed into it with him. Lucanis stood behind me as I squeezed in, closing the doors behind us.

A group of three people walked in, as I peaked out of a crack in the door. A guard who looked like he was from the Anderfels, our Target Amadeus, and a proactively dressed woman. Either, his wife, a lover, or a sex worker by the way she was tugging at his belt and giggling.

“Mhhhh, so frisky! Eres? Stay by the door outside.” Commanded Amadeus.

Eres nodded and left the room, leaving them in the room.

“What is happening?” Lucanis whispered as softly as he could.

“Our target is in the living room. However, there's a woman with him. A lover.”

I felt Lucanis keep adjusting behind me.

“Wonderful.”

Dirty thoughts started to enter my mind as I felt his hips brush up against my ass. As I watched outside to see if there was an opening, I pushed my hips into Lucanis.

“Demitrix… What are you doing?” Lucanis asked through his teeth.

“Waiting for an opening~ Shush.”

“Demitrix, we are… going to get… caught.”

I felt him shudder, then his hands grabbed my hips and…something started poking me.

I purred. “Is that your dagger or are you just happy to see me?”

“You’re going to feel my dagger in your back if you don’t stop talking. You did this.” He hissed.

“If you want-“

“We are on a mission. Focus.” He commanded sharply.

“Fine.”

I huffed, and watched outside. Amadeus and his lover were now fully naked in the sitting room, his lover sitting on his lap as he sat in one of the chairs, their lips locked together.

Gods, I wish that were me right now.

As she lowered herself to her knees, I felt Lucanis start to rub up against me, humping at me.

“Lucanis, are you-“

“Not. A word.” He huffed softly.

I pressed my hands on the sides of the bureau to keep myself from getting pushed on the door, spreading my legs a bit more for him.

“Lucanisss…~”

“Please… don’t say my name like that… I can't focus and you are just…teasing me.”

“I love seeing you flustered~”

He then grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled me back, forcing my hips against his. His mouth right next to my ear.

I tried so hard not to moan when he pulled my hair but any noise I did make was covered up by Amadeus’s moan thankfully.

“Are you crazy?! They could have heard me!” I whispered, angrily.

He didn’t respond. He started biting onto my ear and I shuddered hard, squeezing my legs together.

“No… L-Lucanis… Not… Not my ears…” I whimpered.

I tried to calm my breathing, watching the crack in the door, but my mind was quickly melting.

Lucanis’s hands were exploring my body, feeling my chest and my hips, then moving down to my thighs where he dragged them up again to feel my bulge that was being painfully compressed by my pants.

“That feels like it’s painful.” He said, whispering in my ear smugly.

I covered my mouth to not moan, his touch felt so gentle yet…commanding. His fingers gliding over the curve of my member made me want to lose my mind from the pleasure. My ears were hot from the embarrassment of him seeing me like this.

“I wonder if you’d allow me to release it.”

My heart was beating so loudly, and my stomach was tying itself into knots. My body was shaking as his hand started to slip into my pants.

“Lucanis…You’re… Please… I… “

I spied the girl getting up and quickly leaving to go into the bedroom and my brain swam up through the fog.

“The girl left!” I whispered sharply.

Lucanis couldn’t get out of that bureau fast enough.

He shoved me out, making me fall flat on my face, and when I scrambled up out of my daze. Amadeus has a knife stuck in his forehead.

“Contract Fulfilled.”

“Are you fuc-“ I began to yell before he scooped me up and pushed me towards the balcony.

The door of the bedroom burst open and a scream was heard behind us as we ran. The hotel door after that.

Lucanis leaped from the balcony onto the roof where we stood before, and I after him. I rolled across the roof as he did and quickly ran to the closest side of the roof and climbed down out of sight before anyone could spot me. The angry voice of an Anderfel booming out of the balcony above.

“Find them! Find the killers now!”

———————————

After running for a bit, I caught up with Lucanis shortly after, finding him in a small walkway right next to the now closed coffee shop we were at before. He leaned against the wall, keeping his eyes to the ground. His hair cascading down his shoulder pads. The shadows were just barely covering him.

“Luca!” I yelled as I ran up. “I finally found you.”

He turned, looking over at me, before starting to smile.

“That was bracing. Glad to see you are alright as well.”

I then punched his arm. He had no reaction to it.

“You shoved me on the ground, you ass!”

“You were in the way.” He shrugged.

“You didn’t WARN me.”

“You are alive, no?”

I sighed but could only laugh. He then started to laugh as well until we both were laughing in the walkway.

“Ahhh! That was fun! I have never had fun on contracts before!”

“It was very entertaining. Especially to have someone there with me. Although.” He then smacked me upside the head. “What in the Makers name is wrong with you?!”

“Ow! What in the Beyond is wrong with you?!” I yelled back.

“You were rubbing your ass against me in the closet! On purpose! You almost got us caught, I couldn’t even focus, and then you almost crushed my gift I was going to give you!” He scolded harshly.

“Oh, Don't act like-“

The words got caught in my throat.

“G-gift?” I asked, shocked.

“No. I don’t think I should give it to you now.” Lucanis said teasingly, crossing his arms and turning away from me. “You are being rude to me.”

“W-wait! I didn’t know you got me a gift! What is it?! N-no one’s ever given me a gift before! Not just for… for nothing!”

Lucanis reached into a satchel on his belt and held out a lotus-looking flower. A scent of rose wafting to me.

“Wait… Is this…? It can't be. Where did you find a-“ I stammered.

“In the contract’s suite. It was sitting on a dresser by the door of the bedroom. I snatched it before I heard them coming.”

“How did you know this was MY flower?”

“I smelled roses but the only flower I saw was this one. I just assumed that it was your favorite flower from there.” Lucanis looked away for a moment.

“Lucanis… I… “

I stared at the flower, a beautifully kept Silent plains Rose. A symbol of luck. Of blessed travel.

He remembered that I love this flower.

He remembered my favorite flower.

Lucanis then grabbed it from my hand, and placed it gently in my hair.

“I think it suits you.” He said affectionately.

Oh fuck. Oh no.

“Lucanis, why are you giving me this?” I asked, shaking a bit.

Please, Lucanis. Don’t. Don’t say it. Don’t care about me. Don’t make me a person.

“I don’t know… I wanted to. It’s your favorite. I wanted to make you happy.” He said nervously.

“Lucanis…” I touched the flower, my heart racing.

“I just… I did some thinking while we’re getting ready at the lighthouse.”

Luca, please!

“Between that man touching you. What happened at the library. The roof. The thought of someone else touching you, holding you, even… even kissing you. It scared me. I didn’t like it. I have never been this… vulnerable with someone before. I never thought I’d find myself falling-“

“Don’t.”

The silence that pierced the air. That overtook this moment. It was so dense, so heavy, almost enough to crush us. I was a coward. I couldn’t look Lucanis in the eyes as I tore at his heart.

“You don’t want me. I am… a tool. A symbol. I was never meant to be a person. Never meant to be loved. You can't love a tool. I am a tool that was meant to be discarded or put away after you are done with it. If we were to have sex, you’re just supposed to discard me after. These feelings you have-”

“Do not dare tell me what I feel is not real.” Lucanis warned in a dark tone. “How dare you look into my face and tell me you aren't a person! That you are meant to be TOSSED AWAY! I grew up with that mindset. Yet I FEEL. I feel everything around you! To me, you are not some weapon-“

“I am, Lucanis! I am an image of confidence and swagger! A weapon and a selling point. You cannot love a-“

“I don’t love images. I do not love tools.I love A PERSON. ONE person.”

“Don’t make me a person! Don’t make me real! If I become real, then you become real. Which means these feelings are real, and then that means losing you is real! I can not...” I trailed off.

I will not lose someone I loved again.

“Look me in the eyes. Look me in the eyes and say you don’t care about me. Tell me you don’t feel the same way about me. Tell me that you don't love me, and we will never talk about this again. We will pretend that every moment we shared tonight didn’t happen.” Lucanis said with a shaky voice. “Tell me right now. ‘I don’t love you, Lucanis Dellamorte.’ Say it.”

I looked him in the eyes, and my heart sank. His eyes were wide open, big and full of tears. As he looked down at me, I could see his lip even quivering a bit.

Lucanis Dellamorte, a Master Antivan Crow, was opening himself up to me. Crying in front of me. His heart laid bare in front of me. I was seeing his heart for the first time, and he was waiting for a dagger to be plunged into it.

“I have never been this… vulnerable with someone before…”

All I wanted was for him to be happy, but he was perfectly happy being around me. Just being beside me. Laughing, talking, and working alongside me. I didn’t even need to try.

Being with me made him happy.

“I… I…”

Spite came out, laughing and grabbing at Lucanis’s shoulders.

“Do it! BREAK HIM. BREAK HIS HEART.”

I started to cry. I tried to hold them back, but I couldn’t any longer. That wall, that once stood so strong, now toppled to the ground in front of Lucanis. I couldn’t become another demon that stuck to Lucanis.

“I can’t, Luca!” I cried, covering my face. “I love you… Spite and all. You protected me, fought next to me, cared about me more than anyone has for a long time. You made me want to be a person to you, and that scared me. I thought I was protecting you by trying to push you away but I…I can’t break your heart. I’m sorry, Luca. Please. Forgive me. Forgive-“

He pulled me into his arms, his hug squeezing me tightly.

I froze, tears falling from my face. Feeling his comfort and just letting myself just feel his hug.

Feel him.

His hug felt so warm and comfortable. Like drinking spiced wine on a cool autumn night under a thick blanket. The safety of it. It made me never want to leave it. His scent. His sweet, musky leather scent filled my nostrils.

“I love you, Luca…”

“I love you too, Trix.”

“Please. Don’t let go. I want to stay like this forever.” I said as I gripped onto his back. “I can’t even remember when I was last hugged like this.”

“Then I will hold you. For as long as you want. For as long as you need.”

“We’ll be here all night, then.” I chuckled.

“Then we should go back to the Lighthouse. We will-“

I stopped him. Spite now missing from Lucanis’s side.

“What if someone sees us going up to my room?” I asked, pulling on his jacket. “What do we… tell them?”

“We tell them we’re going up to your room to fuck. They’ll leave us alone.”

I froze. He stared at me. He raised his eyebrow in confusion. I blinked at him.

“Are we?” I asked.

“Are we?” Lucanis repeated back.

“Are you… comfortable with that?” I urged.

Lucanis gently grabbed my face, looking into my eyes.

“Trix… After I heard the noises you made when I bit the tip of your ear… I want nothing more than to hear you whine like that again.” Lucanis purred deeply.

I blinked slowly. My brain was just slowly filling with depraved, horny thoughts.

Thoughts that I wanted to act on with my first lover.

“Let’s go home then.”

Chapter 4

Contains: Awkward First Time, Fluff, Hair Pulling, Foreplay: (Biting, Fingering, Sucking Each Other Off, Soft Nipple Play, Passionate and Rough Sex. Kinks Included Are: Breeding and Begging.

I pushed my head through the mirror to peek into the Lighthouse. The halls were empty and not a sound was heard except for the low hum of The Eluvian I was standing in.

I pulled my head back out, looking back at Lucanis.

“It’s all clear. Let’s hurry though. I’d rather just… get straight to my room.”

“You are very eager. Even after that heavy conversation. Are you… sure?” Lucanis asked, concerned.

“Luca, I’m… I want you. I have been pining for you for a while… Trust me when I say… Being with you will make me feel so much more light. What about you?”

“I will… admit. I am feeling very nervous. Let’s… talk more in your room.” Lucanis said sheepishly.

I snuck on through the mirror with Lucanis, staying close to him, and as soon as he was through, started sneaking up the stairs.

It wasn’t long before we heard footsteps walking along the upper level, followed by the voices of Emmerich and Davrin. Both Lucanis and I hugged the wall of the stairs to avoid being seen. Listening to them.

“I am sure they’re fine. Both very capable rogues.” Davrin stated.

“Yet you worry, my friend.” Emmerich stated back.

“They’re still not back yet. I just checked both their rooms.”

Aww. Davrin. He does care.

“Perhaps they had found… another room for the night?”

“You mean…? Lucanis seems too reserved. Too in his own head. I don’t think he would go for it even if he had the chance to.”

Lucanis slowly turned to look at me. His eyes flashing purple again. Before I could say anything, he grabbed my hand and then pulled me up the stairs with him, walking loudly now.

“Ngh! Lucanis?!” I gasped.

Emmerich and Davrin started looking over, Davrin greeting with a smile.

“Oh hey! Wasn’t expecting you two! How was your-“

“We will talk later. Demitrix and I need to FUCK right now.” Lucanis said so matter of fact, pulling me up the next set of stairs. “We will see you both in the morning. Come on, Demitrix.”

I just broke. Speechless. Emmerich and Davrin both had shocked expressions and just froze in place as they watched Lucanis drag me off.

“Have a good night, guyyysss….”I said, giggling.

Once he pulled me to the top of the stairs, he then pulled me over to my room, pushed me into it, and then closed the door behind him with a slam.

I stood in the middle of my messy room, my curtains were drawn, with soft candlelight surrounding us.

Lucanis’s demeanor changed. He looked around, walking towards my pile of books in the corner, and started nervously playing with his hands.

“You have… lots of books on animals.”

“I uh… love animals.” I said a chuckle.

“Favorite one?” he said quickly.

His breath seemed to quicken.

“I love foxes. Have a fondness for the dark silver ones -are you okay?” I asked, walking over to him and putting my hand on his arm. “You seemed so ready to do this around Davrin and Emmerich and now that we’re alone, you’re asking me what my favorite animal is? Are you stalling?”

“To be honest, it is an important question.”

“Luca. Come on, You weren’t like this in the library or in the bureau. You were so handsy and so ready to go. I felt it.”

“Those times, I wasn’t thinking. Now that we are truly alone, and my mind is clear, I am… unsure of what to do. I have never done this before.” He said quickly, turning his head. “This will be my first time.”

I paused.

“You mean… oh, Luca. It’s alright! I am a bit nervous too if that makes you feel better.”

“You are? How? You’ve done this countless times! You flirt and charm often and always know just what to say… How can someone like you be nervous during this?”

I smiled and grabbed his chin, turning him gently towards me.

“I am nervous because… this is my first time with someone I love. That I am… romantically involved with. Now, it’s even more nerve racking that you’re a virgin because I want to be amazing for your first time. Even though I am nervous, I… I look at you and I just want to be with you. To have you. To be one with you. We don’t have to do this but, if you insist we should, we will take it slow, okay? How about I let you explore me, huh? Get to know my body?”

His gaze toward me softened and he smiled, nodding.

I then walked to the middle of the room, and in front of him, removed all my gear, tossing it to the side. Turning away before pulling my top off, then slowly slipping my pants down, kicking them to the side with my boots.

I turned towards him and slowly removed my crow mask and undid my hair, letting it fall. Tossing the ribbon and mask to the side as well.

Lucanis’s eyes were big, covering his mouth with his gloved hand, keeping his arms crossed. His eyes danced around my body, almost like he was studying me and walked over.

“You are… very beautiful.”

“Thank you~” I purred back at him, feeling up his chest. “Now it’s your turn.”

I heard him gulp nervously but he nodded, kissing my forehead softly. He started to undo his crow head clasps in front of me before turning bright pink in the face.

“Could you… Could you turn around? I am… embarrassed.”

I smiled a bit, but turned, climbing into my bed and stretching along it.

As I did, I hoped that Lucanis was watching me and stretched like a cat, pushing my ass out into the air for him to see and spreading my legs.

“Mmmm…my bed always feels so comfy. Can’t wait for you to join me~”

I then heard the familiar sound of a belt and pants dropping as well as the sound of lots of knives dropping to the floor.

“Not a word, Trix.” Lucanis warned me from behind.

I laughed. “I didn’t even say anything, Luca.”

I then felt him climb into the bed, crawling over to me. I turned over and he was on his knees on the bed behind me, feeling my legs up. His body bore some scars here and there on his tanned Antivan skin. His chest, arms and stomach covered in thick, dark hair. His hypnotic dark brown eyes staring down at me with a nervous smile as he started to crawl on top of me.

I then felt his bare cock rub up against my thigh and my face grew hot.

“Wow… you feel… thick.” I gulped.

“Is that… good?” He said, embarrassed.

“Y-yes! I love the feeling of… being stretched open.” I chuckled, holding onto his arms. “It makes me feel so… dominated.”

Lucanis smiled down at me then turned a brighter pink.

“I’m… I’m going to touch you now. Okay?”

I giggled and laid back for him.

“Go right ahead, handsome~ Explore as much as you want. Do whatever you want to me. If you get too nervous, just let me know. We can stop whenever you want, okay?”

He nodded and took a deep breath before he began touching my face gently, running his fingers over my tattoo and following the curves. His fingers glided over to my neck next, going with the tattoo. His touch was so gentle yet the strokes felt so sensual and sexy. I was swimming in the sensation of it all, letting my body relax with it. I felt his fingers glide over my nipples and I left out a soft whine, the sensation making my body jolt and shudder.

He immediately did it again but faster and I gasped, making my legs squeeze together.

“You like that?” He said, now pinching them,

I gasped again and gripped the sheets under me.

“Y-yes…! I am extremely sensitive there! Ahh~ It feels good when someone plays with them… Try… Try using your mouth…~”

Obediently, he leaned his head down and licked at my nipple before starting to suck on it. Flicking the other one with his free hand.

I moaned loudly, my back arching slightly. My mind got foggy from swimming in his touch.

“Holy maker…! Okay… you’re learning fast…!” I said, panting a bit.

He seemed eager now, letting go and feeling my sides up and kissing down my body.

“I keep hearing your noises and… I want to make you make more sounds…” he purred.

Oh Creators, This man is going to DESTROY me.

He grabbed my legs and spread them open, my cock twitching with his suddenness, precum dripping down my cock.

“Lucanis! You’re being so bold! I didn’t think you’d-“

He then stopped looking up at me with big, worried eyes.

“Do you need me to stop?”

“Are you kidding?!” I yelled, my face flushed with heat. “Go crazy! Do whatever you want to me!”

Lucanis only darkly chuckled. Which made me shiver.

“You know… when I walked in on an orgy once, I remember someone doing something that intrigued me. Let me try it.”

“You walked in on an-“

He licked up the precum dripping from my cock and then took my cock into his mouth and started sucking me off.

I gasped out and gripped the sheets, my body twisting and contorting as he sucked. His tongue twisting around the head of my cock and then pushing against my cockhole.

“Lucanis! LUCANIS! Mi Amore! Mir Vhenan!” I screamed in pleasure.

My mind was now swimming in him, my voice nothing but whining and whimpering. I couldn’t contain myself anymore and I didn’t want to. There was no Veilguard, no Elven gods, No danger. Just Lucanis and I.

I started to scream louder, when I felt his fingers rubbing on my ass, trying to push into me.

“Ngh! Lucanis?!”

He plunged his fingers into me, curling them inside and moving them against my walls. Pulling them out and then pushing back in.

I started to drool, my eyes rolling back, feeling him exploring me. Shuddering as I felt his moans on my cock.

I felt my cock swell, my body starting to build up pleasure and I pulled at the sheets.

“Mi amore! MI AMORE! I am going to burst!”

He seemed confused for a moment before I screamed, my sperm starting to pump into his mouth.

He choked on it, then pulled off, sperm spraying all over his gorgeous face. Wiping some off with his fingers and spreading them out looking at it.

“You sprayed all over my face.” He said inquisitively.

“Sorry… I was… really excited.”

“Don’t be sorry.” He licked his lips, smirking. “You’re delicious. Very sticky and sweet. Like a glaze.”

I laid my head back, blood rushing to my cock again as he talked.

I am so in love with this man. He’s so cute. I’m going to do so many things to this man. Things that will make the Crows blush. He won’t be the same man that came into this room come morning.

I snapped out of it when I saw his hand waving in front of my face, and his concerned looking eyes watching me.

“Are you alright? I did good, right?” He asked eagerly.

“So good. Soooo good. In fact, I want to thank you for your efforts.~” I giggled.

I then pushed him on his back, crawling on top of him and the face he made…

He looked up at me with such nervous brown eyes. His hands gripping onto my biceps and his legs closed. His cock, however, was throbbing hard.

“Wait.. I’ve never… released before. I just.. could never relax… If I cum too fast, please don’t… don’t think little of me.”

Never released before?!

“Oh you poor pent up man… Oh, that thought makes me weak. Don’t worry. I won’t judge at all. I’m going to make sure you get the release you need.”

He nodded and then watched me as I grabbed his chin, moving his head to the side.

“I’m going to mark you now~”

I buried my face into the crook of his neck and sunk my teeth into his neck. His body reacted hard, his back arching and his hand gripping my hair by the roots but not pulling me off.

I sucked onto his skin, and I could feel him hold back a moan, but then he shuddered, letting out a long low groan. Holding onto me tight, he shook and said a tiny curse under his breath as I let go.

“There.~”

“Bastardo…” he said in a low growl.

I giggled mischievously and crawled down to his, kissing his chest and down his stomach as I went. Feeling every crease and muscle as I got between his legs to his thick, but flaccid cock.

“You poor thing… You must be aching here.” I purred, grabbing his balls. “I’ll help you relieve it.~”

He jolted and covered his face with his arm, his face turning red.

“Just… ahh…”

“Relax, mi amore. I’ll show you how.”

I grabbed his cock and dragged my tongue along the side of it. Licking it up, it starts to quickly rise in my hand.

As Lucanis started making loud groaning noises, I sucked onto his cock hole which made him jolt and arch his back.

“Fuck! Trix! Trix!”

I pulled off giggling, before taking him all the way down my throat, sucking on him as I bobbed my head up and down.

“Oh Maker… Oh Maker, Trix… your mouth is so warm and sopping wet…. Your throat is so tight….! Hhhaaa….”

His moans were turning me on so much, and just feeling his body shake under me made my head spin.

“Trix… Trix… Unnnffff Triiixxx….” he moaned.

I pulled off, jerking him off by my face and getting a breather.

“You're going to cum for me, love~? Are you going to cum for me?” I asked

I started to deep throat him and he let out a loud and long moaning noise, shaking hard.

“Oh fuck… Yes, mi amore! Yes yes! Trix! Trix!”

He grabbed my hair by the root and shoved me down as far as I could go before, forcing me to swallow him down as he shot into my throat.

“Stay. Down.” He growled at me.

My eyes rolled back as I choked on his sperm, trying my best to swallow it down, but it leaked out of my mouth, dripping onto my chin and then on the bed.

“Meirdaaa…” he gasped.

He let go and I gasped for air, coughing and gasping. Lucanis gently rubbed my back, obviously feeling bad for making me choke on him.

“Oh Trix, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to go so rough, my mind just… I wasn’t thinking…”

“Fuck me.”

“Pardon?”

I grabbed his shoulders and shook him, looking into his eyes.

“I want. You. To fuck me. HARD.”

I pulled away from him and pushed my face into the pillows, sticking my ass up at him.

“Please Lucanis, I need it! Please just… Fuck me until the sun rises and fill me up. Fill me up with your sperm. Make me messy~!” I begged.

I felt his hands grab my hips and then pin me down. I spread my legs so he’d have easy access to me and hugged a pillow, watching him. He started looking around for something.

“Do you have any oil? Something to make it easier for you and me?”

“I have body oil in my nightstand… It's just going to smell of roses, though.”

Lucanis crawled over to my nightstand and shifted around in the drawer, grabbing the little glass bottle and bringing it over.

He looked at it confused, and then dripped some of it on my hole and then on his cock.

“Okay. Are you ready?” He said, pushing his fingers inside of me, rubbing the oil around inside.

I moaned out, my mind wandering with the rose scent in the air, his fingers stirring me up.

“Y-yes! Fuck me… Fuck me, please…!” I moaned out to him, looking back at him. “Make me yours, Lucanis Dellamorte.”

He placed his cock at my hole, before slipping in with ease, using his fingers as guidance.

“Ahhhhh…~!” I moaned out.

Lucanis laid across my back, shuddering and groaning from his cock inside and my hole was getting stretched open from it.

“I’m… inside.” He gasped.

“Yep… You definitely are, mi amore~ Gods, your cock is so… girthy…thicccck….” I drooled.

Lucanis chuckled a bit, before relaxing into me, kissing my back.

“I’m going to start moving now. Okay…?”

“Okay… Don't be afraid to be rough.” I assured him.

Turns out I didn’t need to.

He started taking long deep strokes in and out of my hole. The oil made him extremely slick and hard for him to control how hard he was going. Or so I thought.

I started moaning out loudly, my pain slowly going towards pleasure. My emotions and hormones were going crazy.

“Mi Amore! Mi amore! oh gods! Oh gods, You are going so hard at the start! You’re going to ruin me!”

“Good… Good…” Lucanis moaned out.

“G-good?!”

He pulled my hair back slamming me deeply on his cock, my inside squeezing around him in a passionate mix of pain and pleasure.

He brought his mouth very close to my ear, growling in it.

“I want to ruin you. Break you. Make it so you recoil at the touch of another man other than my own. I love you, and want to make sure other men know it, too.”

I gasped, my cock throbbing hard at his possessiveness. I wanted him to do it. To fuck me. To have me. To love me. To ruin me. To build me up. As much as he fucking wanted to.

He will have nothing less than what he desires for the rest of his life.

He shoved my face into the bed and started ramming me harder, making me scream out his name. His nickname. I screamed out for him. He screamed out for me.

He flipped me over and hugged me tightly, pressing deeply inside. I could feel his balls pressing against my hole and pulsating with lust.

“I love you, Demitrix. I love you so much.” Lucanis moaned out as he humped into me. “I’ll protect you and love you!”

“I love you too, Lucanis! You’ll never be alone again! I’ll always be right beside you! Fill me up, love! Mir vhenan, fill me up!” I begged.

He kissed me deeply as he pressed all the way into me again, his cock pulsating inside as he started filling me up with sperm. His body was shaking as he came. I, with him. I felt my cock just coating him with sperm, his body becoming sticky on top of me.

I looked up into his eyes and for the first time since I’ve met him, I saw him simply glow. His smile was so soft and genuine. His eyes were so big and loving. He finally relaxed. With me.

“I love you, Lucanis….” I said, dreamily.

“I love you, Demitrix…” He panted.

————————————

“Good morning you two! You both are up super late!” Yelled Bellara.

Lucanis just moved past her into the kitchen.

“Coffee. Coffee. Coffeee…” He groaned.

I came up to her from behind him and smiled.

“He and I had a wild night last night while we were out in Treviso.” I whispered.

“Oh! Hungover?” She whispered back.

Davrin came into the dining room next, smirking.

“Hey Demitrix. Next time you and Lucanis decide to do some late night romping, try to remember that some people hear you.” He said with a smug look.

“Especially if they sleep right under your room.”

I coughed hard, Bellara stood shocked.

Lucanis came out holding a cup of coffee as chaos ensued with Bellara asking millions of questions, Davrin laughing and teasing me, and I trying to get them to quiet down.

I saw him sip and then smile at me.

“What a great night.” He smirked.
