Because I'm feeling a little brave tonight, I will also post some stuff I've been working on.

This is literally the first time I've ever posted my writing. (Unless you scroll back on this blog far enough and see the first smut I ever wrote LOL good luck finding it) (hint: it's definitely about a certain necromancer dkfjddkjf)

ANYWAY this isn't smut but I'm putting it beneath the read more because it's a bit of a wall-o-text. So. yeah. Here we gooooo

Two knocks and the door to Emmrich's quarters creaked open. Then- “Emmrich?” Rook’s voice floated up from below the stairs.

“Hello, dearest!” Emmrich leaned over the top of the stairs, smiling down at her.

“I found a new room, next to the library.”

“Really!”

“Full of weird old stuff. And!! No one else knows about it yet.”

Emmrich came down the stairs in record time.

“Oh, I also remembered that you’d told me how you enjoyed the view of The Fade from your balcony- well, the view from this room is really something. You’ll love it,” She promised.

A short while later, they descended the stairs on the right of the Library and without warning, the wall shifted, revealing a tunnel of light amidst various boxes stacked in the little room.

Rook had, at some point, taken Emmrich’s hand in her own.She looked back at him and smiled, open and unguarded. He returned her smile, squeezing her hand in his.

As they passed through what he assumed was a small, purposeful Fade tear strategically placed by the library, he simultaneously realized two truths: One, he would follow her anywhere. Two, whatever this was between them, it more than a passing fancy or a coupling brought on by proximity and the possible end of the world. How things might work out remained to be seen but Emmrich was committed to seeing it through.

They appeared to now be in a storeroom or office of some sort. The desk and chair indicated as much, anyway. He had intended to poke around, (so many artifacts!) but Rook had other ideas, it seemed. She promised they’d come back to thoroughly look over everything in the room.

She opened the door at the other end of the room and with a glance over her shoulder, beckoned him outside.

The view from the balcony just outside the hidden alcove was quite lovely. Emmrich said as much, but he barely had a chance to get the words out before Rook had grabbed his hand and pulled him back into the alcove.

“Rook, what are you-“ Amused, he let her direct him and found himself standing before her.

“So…I may have had an ulterior motive in bringing you here.” Her hands were toying with the buttons on his waist coat.

“I would have followed you anyway.”

That earned Emmrich a rare blushing smile from Rook. Honest compliments from him always seemed to bring out a coyness in her. It was endearing and if he was honest, more than a little alluring.

She took ahold of his hands, pulling him with her as she backed them into the wall. She placed his hands at her waist and then slid her own up his body until they came to a stop on his chest.

“I just wanted to get you alone, somewhere no one could find us.”

She had looked up at him then with a self-satisfied little smile; she wasn’t sorry at all, and well, neither was he. He knew when he was being seduced and he would let himself enjoy this moment. It had been some time since someone pursued him. He hadn’t realized how much he missed it until now.

Emmrich leaned closer to her, his heartbeat rising as she pressed the length of her body against his. Suddenly he had forgotten all about the artifacts.

“Well, you have me. Now the question is… what will you do with me?”

Reaching up, Rook slid a hand around the back of his neck, sending a thrill through right down his spine.

Her eyes fluttered shut as she briefly nuzzled her nose against his.

“Definitely kiss you.” And she did- a soft, slow press of her lips that lingered just long enough. “I wonder…do you think anyone could hear us from up here?”  

Emmrich felt her smile against his mouth.

“That…is a rather intriguing hypothesis.” He breathed, leaning in for another kiss. 

Rook gently nipped at his lower lip, causing a huff of laughter to escape him.

“Better start experimenting, then.”
