Something New & Something Blue

Azriel paced back and forth across his bedroom floor, the small note clutched in his hand. The swirling script seeming to taunt and tease him as he read the words that sent a thrill through him that he hadn’t felt in centuries.

It was almost like the feeling of finally mastering his wings and soaring through the sky, the feeling of unbridled happiness; something that felt so natural and right, but that he’d had to struggle and fight for.

The note had been laying on his pillow when he’d walked in and after declining the invitation to join everyone at Rita’s for the evening. He had feigned a headache and made his apologies as he headed upstairs. He fought the urge to laugh to himself as he heard Cassian reasoning with Nesta that they could join the group now that Elain wouldn’t be left in the house alone. She had already retired just before dessert, claiming that a long day of gardening under the sun had drained her, but Az knew better.

This was their little game, and they played any time they wanted to steal a moment away for themselves.

It had all started innocently enough, a shy request from Elain asking him to help her learn to let go of her lingering fear. Help to ease her into this new life she had finally come to accept. She never called it training, but it was, training to sharpen her awareness and defend herself if she needed to. Over time, the game changed and then they played to see how sneaky she could be, see what information she could collect from the others without them realizing, and then after one almost kiss, the game changed again. Now the game was what they used to steal their time together. The sound of the others leaving and shouting their goodbyes snapped Azriel out of his daze and he looked back down at the note in his hand. Come to my room after they’ve gone. ♥, E Azriel moved to the door and hesitated, his hand on the knob, waiting.  The front door swung open and he heard Cassian stomp back in quickly before retreating and letting the door slam shut behind him.  “Got it!”  He called to the group, always forgetting something. Az shook his head and quietly made his way to Elain’s room, knocking softly and squaring his shoulders.  He had no idea why he felt so nervous every time, he supposed that he wanted to look his best for her all the time, lest she come to her senses and realize that she no longer cared for his company.  He pushed the doubt from his mind, clearly tonight she had decided that she did want his company and he was thrilled to join her. His breath caught as he heard her footsteps hurry across the floor and the door opened.  She smiled up at him and grabbed his hand, pulling him into her room. “Hurry, before he finds he’s forgotten something else.” He chuckled and let her pull him along, closing the door quietly behind himself and locking it before turning to face her again.

Elain was stunning to him on a normal day, in her floppy gardening hat or with flour dusted cheeks in the kitchen but the Elain before him now, the Elain that only he was allowed to see in these stolen moments, she was absolutely breath taking.  She stood before him in a robe of cobalt blue silk that hid very little from him, her hair gathered and held up by a matching blue ribbon. She blushed as she felt his gaze slide over her and she moved to slide her fingers through his hair, her hand resting to cradle his cheek. “Headache not too bad, I hope.”  She teased. He shook his head with a smirk then turned to kiss the palm of her hand and slid his arms around her, inhaling her scent as he placed soft kisses along her neck.  “Never felt better.” She moaned softly, her arms sliding around his neck. “Az?”  she whispered, eyes fluttering closed as his hands slid down her back coming to rest on her hips, his touch setting her skin on fire. He hummed against her neck, pulling back to look down at her. “I wanted to try something new tonight.  I mean, if you want to.”  she added nervously. He smiled and gave her a nod before asking.  “Alright, what did you have in mind?” She blushed more and moved to sit on the bed, pulling him along to sit across from her. He watched her, keeping her hand in his, his thumb gently stroking over her palm to soothe her. “There's no need for you to be nervous, El, I would never judge you.”  Truth be told, he would do anything she asked.  It thrilled him each time they played this game, each time a little more comfortable than the last, a little spicier than the last and this time, it seemed, would be no exception. She shook her head.  “No, I know that, I do…”  The flush returned to her cheeks as she hesitated, her bottom lip held between her teeth. “Don’t get shy on me now, petal.  Tell me what you want.”  He said, the playful tone slipping and giving way to a much more assertive tone as he tipped her chin up to look her in the eyes. Her heart fluttered in her chest, her eyes widening slightly at the tone he’d taken with her.  She swallowed, pressing her thighs together.  “I…I want to try this.”  She whispered, sliding a small book out from under her pillow and showing him the illustration that had set her dreams on fire for the past week. Azriel’s smile grew as he looked over the illustration of a man ravishing a woman with her hands bound.  He nodded, setting the book aside.  “Alright, we can try that.” Elain beamed at him as her nerves disappeared.  “Alright, how do we start?”  she asked, sitting taller, her excitement taking over. “Well, lets start with the rules.”  He said, knowing that they couldn’t move forward until their boundaries were established. “Rules?”  she asked. He nodded.  “I need you to know that we can stop anytime you want and for any reason.  If you change your mind, if you’re uncomfortable or if it just doesn’t feel right I need you to tell me, alright?” “I will, I promise, and you tell me too.”  She answered, not wanting to ruin this for either of them. He smiled.  “Agreed.  Are there any rules that you want to set for me?” She nodded, smiling.  “It isn’t so much a rule as a request… a condition.”  She amended, straightening her back a bit. Azriel’s brows raised slightly.  “Alright.” Elain took a shaky breath, lifting her chin and meeting his stare.  “Don’t be afraid of me.” He opened his mouth to speak but she pressed a finger to his lips and he kept his eyes on hers. “I don’t want you to be too gentle with me, Azriel.  I know its our first time trying this and you’re always so careful with me, and I DO love that.  It’s just - Tonight, I want you to touch me like I’m a woman you desire, not like a fragile flower you’re afraid to crush.” “You’ve already ruined me for anyone else here,” she said, rising to her knees and placing his hand over her heart.  “take me the rest of the way.  I’m not afraid, I’ve never been afraid of you.” Az couldn’t stop the smile that lit his face up as he leaned in to kiss her, his hand moving to slide up into her hair and cradle the back

of her head.  Elain deepened the kiss before leaning back to look at him. “Was that a “yes” to my condition?”  She asked with a grin. He nodded.  “I will do my best to meet your condition.” She kissed him again, giddy excitement filling her now.  “Alright.”

He stood and toed his boots off, giving her a wink before pulling his tunic off as well.  Elain watched him, lips slightly parted as she took him in.  He was beautiful and at this moment, she knew that he wanted her as much as she wanted him.  He offered a hand to her and she took it, rising from her place on the bed.  Azriel leaned in to kiss her, his hands sliding the silk robe over her shoulders and letting it pool at her feet.  She was completely naked underneath, not even a scrap of lace keeping him from pleasuring her until she could barely stand.  He expected her to blush as he took her in, but she didn’t, she felt confident now and she moved to help him take his pants off.  Azriel only stopped her as she moved to get on her knees. “Not tonight, tonight is for new games.”  Elain did blush then and nodded in agreement. “I am so bewitched by you.”  Azriel confessed as he slowly pulled one end of the blue ribbon in her hair, his grin widening as the thick waves of brown hair cascaded down and around her back and shoulders.  Elain looked up at him and smiled, presenting her wrists to him.  “Its only fair, because I am utterly enchanted by you.” “Flattery will get you everywhere.”  He said with a smirk as he wound the ribbon around her wrists before tying it off, his eyes meeting hers as he asked.  “Too tight?”  Elain shook her head, practically bouncing where she stood.  “Just right.  Done this before?”  She asked, arching a brow as she moved her hands around to test it and make sure.  Azriel blushed and cleared his throat, narrowing his eyes as she laughed.  “You think you’d be nicer when you’re about to be completely at my mercy.”  He said as he made a sweeping gesture with his hand toward the bed.  “Maybe I want you a little riled up.”  Elain said as she moved to the center of the bed, her heart thundering in her chest as she took him in.  He stalked closer and she felt like prey, she lay back ready to be devoured by him. Azriel towered over her now, knees on either side of her as he instructed, “Arms up, no touching for now.”  Elain moved her hands up, feeling electrified, her skin tingling everywhere she felt his skin touch hers.  He kissed her and looked down at her.  “Remember, we can stop any time.”  She nodded, kissing him back.  “I know.”  He kissed and sucked on her neck, careful not to mark her anywhere that couldn’t be hidden with her clothes.  He kissed his way down her chest, his scarred hands massaging her perfect breasts, thumbs grazing over her nipples.  Elain arched her back, whimpering as her bound hands gripped the pillow for dear life.  Azriel continued kissing until he reached her nipple, slowly running his tongue over it before very gently tugging at it with his teeth.  Elain released a shuddering breath before pressing her head back into the pillow and begging.  “More…again…please, Az.”  Ever the gentleman, Azriel obliged, taking turns massaging, sucking and nipping at her breasts as she writhed and arched beneath him. Azriel continued to kiss a trail further down, Elain’s body reacting to every kiss, every touch.  He slid his hand down between her thighs and she parted them, moaning softly as he settled himself between them.  Elain’s eyes blew wide as Azriel kissed along her inner thigh before sliding his tongue over her slit and sucking on her clit.  Elain couldn’t stop herself from fisting her hands in his hair as she felt his fingers slide into her, moving slowly, torturing her. He chuckled, the vibration from his deep voice nearly sending her over the edge.  “Should I stop?”  He teased, looking up at her.  Elain shook her head vigorously, eyes shut tight.  “No…don’t stop, please.”  She pleaded, breathlessly. “Then, no touching.”  He repeated with a smirk, winding the loose ends of the ribbon around his hand before bracing it against the wall above Elain’s head.  He leaned in and kissed her roughly, dominating her mouth, his tongue swiping over hers as she pulled at the ribbon, needing to touch him. He trailed his hand down again, sliding his fingers between her folds.  She was

already warm and slick for him when he thrust his fingers into her, pumping them in and out, teasing her clit with his thumb this time.  Elain gasped and threw her head back, her moans and cries torturing him in the best way.  Az continued pumping his fingers into her bringing her back to the edge before curving them to hit just the right spot, the spot that made the stars dance all around her as her body felt weightless.  Az crashed his lips into hers, swallowing her cries of pleasure as she arched off of the bed and he felt her clench around his fingers.  He smirked as he heard her breathy whispers.  “Fuck…oh fuck…Az…”  Elain was still catching her breath when she felt Azriel position himself between her thighs before thrusting into her.  Elain wrapped her legs around him and moved her hips to meet his thrusts, that blue ribbon still clutched tightly in the hand he had braced against the wall. “Please.”  Elain panted, her hips moving to meet his rhythm.  “I need to touch you…” Azriel let the ribbon slip through his fingers and her bound hands were on him, moving his face so that she could kiss him, whimpering and moaning into his mouth.  He planted his hands on either side of her head, her nails sliding down his chest as he continued to thrust into her, their tongues teasing and dancing with one another until Elain was pushed over the edge again and even their kiss couldn't smother the euphoric cry that might be heard all the way to Rita’s.

They don’t move for a moment, can’t move, both of them panting with smiles on their faces.  Stars danced in Elain’s eyes as Az moved to lay on his back, taking Elain with him.  She released a soft, lilting laugh as she settled, her still bound hands resting on his chest as his hands lazily stroked her thighs. “That was…well…it was perfect.”  Elain said, leaning in and kissing him softly, sliding her hands over his chest as she straightened. “I did get the impression that you were pretty satisfied.”  He teased, smiling up at her. “It was even better than-”  she blushed and hesitated, but his quirked brow told her that it was too late to go back now.  “It was even better than the dreams I’ve been having all week.” “Next time, don’t wait a whole week to ask me.  I’ll play any new games you want, petal.  Any day, any way.”  He said, sitting up and kissing her again, his hands in her wild tangle of soft brown hair, their bare chests pressing against one another.  Elain moaned into his mouth and it sent electricity straight to Azriel’s cock when they heard the front door open and multiple voices filter in.  Elain groaned and rested her forehead against Az’s, but his shadows moved to cover her door, blocking any trace of light from the other side.  To anyone who passed, Elain and Az would both appear to be asleep in their darkened rooms. Elain smiled as he placed a soft kiss on her lips and whispered.  “Do you want it to be over now?” “No…”  she whispered back, her heart beginning to race. Azriel nodded and Elain listened as the noise from the others eventually began to die down as they all retreated to their own rooms and got ready for bed.  Her eyes never left his hands though, watching  as he gently untied the ribbon, checking her wrists and rubbing and kissing the inside of each wrist before he retied it, binding her wrists again.  He finished with a tidy little bow this time, his eyes meeting hers before giving a wink and bringing her bound hands up to his lips, placing a feather-light kiss atop each one. Azriel looped Elain’s bound wrists over his head, leaning in, his nose brushing against the shell of her ear as he whispered.  “Hold tight and don’t make a sound.” His deep, breathy chuckle sent chills through her and she wrapped her legs around him again as he stood, his large hand splayed across her back as he carried her, pressing her back against the wall as he kissed, sucked and nipped at her neck.  Elain gasped, burying her face in his neck to smother the sound.  She shuddered and he adjusted his stance, positioning himself before easing into her again. 

Elain bit her bottom lip and swallowed back the moan threatening to expose them both, her bound hands tangled in his hair as he moved slowly at first, quickening his pace as she nipped at his neck.  He grinned and nipped her neck, his chest rumbling with a low growl as he felt her thighs tighten around him, trying her best to force him in deeper until he finally unleashed.  Azriel rocked into her harder and faster than before, her own hips moving to meet his thrusts before her entire body tensed, her core tightening around his pulsing shaft and she bit Azriel’s shoulder to stifle the scream that threatened to tear through the quiet of the house.  Azriel followed her over the edge, the feeling of Elain’s teeth on his skin making it nearly impossible for him to keep quiet, but he did.  For her, he did, because if they were found out, if their little game had to come to an end, he wouldn’t survive and he knew it. Silence fell over them, a comfortable silence as their breathing returned  to normal, the both of them delirious, their foreheads resting against one another’s before Azriel softly peppered Elain’s face and neck with sweet kisses.  She smiled, returning the kisses, clearly exhausted but euphoric.  Azriel lowered her onto shaking legs before slipping her bound hands back over his head and kissing her hands again before untying the perfect blue bow and releasing her.  He lifted her, carrying her into the bathroom and sitting her down while he ran a warm bath.  He grinned as he looked over at her, a dazed and dreamy smile on her face as she watched him.

“Will you be joining me?”  She whispered.  He tipped a sweet smelling purple solution into the warm water and nodded.  “Nothing could drag me away from you right now.”  He said, picking her up again and settling them both in the tub, her back resting against his chest.  “Besides, I don’t think your legs will be working properly for at least a few hours, you might drown if I leave you here.”  She slapped his arm, laughing quietly. “Thank you for tonight.”  she said softly, lacing their fingers together and kissing his hand, holding it to her chest. He hummed, kissing along her shoulder.  “Of course, I would do anything to make you happy.  I love you, El.”  Her hand tightened around his.  “I love you too, Az.”
