It looked like I had to take matters into my own hands.
As soon as Llewellyn released me, I spun us around, pinned him against the column, and kissed him.
Llewellyn's hand landed on my lower back, tugging me closer, and when I pulled back, he looked at me with half-lidded eyes.
…Okay, I hadn't really thought any further than this.
We stared at each other.
I suppose I could go down on my knees? Maybe I could even… under the table if he wanted to go back to our food so much. He could enjoy both things at once while I—
My gaze landed on his lips.
"Fine," Llewellyn said, sounding a bit hoarse. "You win. We can go back to our food later."
Before I could figure out what was happening, he caught my wrist, twisting it behind my back, spun me around, and pulled me toward the next nearest table, bending me over it.
Dishes and cutlery crashed to the ground.
"…"
Damn.
I felt myself going hot everywhere.
"Seems like you really liked that," Llewellyn said, amused, leaning down to mouth at my nape.
…All those people online commenting, "I'd let him throw me" really had no idea.
I was having a hard time formulating thoughts right now.
Llewellyn took his vials out of his inventory, kissing down my spine. His fingers pushed in, slick, and I pressed my forehead on the table.
"This won't do," Llewellyn said after a few moments. "Turn around. I want to see you."
"…"
I kissed him immediately.
I was feeling… There was something in my chest that wanted to eat him whole.
I mean, not literally, but— I really couldn't stop kissing him.
Besides, he was giving just as much as he was getting.
"I'm going to try something," Llewellyn said—and placed a hand on the table next to me.
Something curled around my ankles and up my legs, pulling them open, and—
Uh?!!
I looked down.
Wait— Were those vines?!! Coming out of the wood of the table?!!
What kind of insane level of Elemental Mastery was this?!!
"Really?" I said against his lips. I'd messed up his hair so badly it was probably unsalvageable. "Been reading Flat White again?"
Llewellyn grinned and closed the distance again, kissing me.
"That sounds more like something you'd do," he said.
…Anyway.
The moment he got distracted, I managed to free myself from the vines, locked my legs around him, and pulled him in all the way.
We both groaned.
Llewellyn's hand ended up on the table again. More vines came out, tying my ankles together so my legs were locked around him.
"Don't make me tie you tighter," Llewellyn said, mouthing down my throat—and thrust in.
***
We both collapsed on each other, spent.
Llewellyn slid out, but I was reluctant about letting him go.
I kissed him more.
"You sure you still want to finish din—"
"Yes."
Alright.
Maybe he was hungry.
We went back to our table.
I was in… uh… quite a state with… fluids and all—probably covered in love bites again. Llewellyn's hair was a mess.
"This is ridiculous," I told Llewellyn. "I hope you realize that."
We'd forgotten all about the game.
"It's great food," Llewellyn said.
Well… Yeah, that was true.
"Besides," he said after a moment, "I get to enjoy the view a bit longer."
Uh.
I mean.
I was eating high-end cuisine while half-naked and bruised. How insane was it that Llewellyn considered this a great view?
…A moment later, I felt vines curl up my legs again.
I looked up.
"Can't believe you're into tentacle fics," I said with a sigh.
Llewellyn snorted. "Those are not tentacles."
"Not that different."
"I'm just into tying you up," Llewellyn said. "I'm happy using whatever works." He raised an eyebrow. "Unless you're against it?"
…As if he couldn't tell from the bond.
"…Go back to your food," I said.
Llewellyn grinned.
Once we had gone through all our courses, Llewellyn pressed me against the column, and we made out while we put our clothes back on.
"Want to take a walk outside?" he asked.
Yes. Of course I wanted to.
As far as I was concerned, we could prolong this as much as he wanted.
Llewellyn twined our fingers together and tugged me outside.
Uh. I swallowed. Well.
We followed the paved paths.
The pool looked amazing. With the spotlights on, the whole section of the garden really looked—
Llewellyn pulled me into a kiss and pushed me in.
Hey!!!
My Magic snapped. My Authority moved of its own accord. Tendrils of Water leapt out of the pool and toward Llewellyn, curled around him, and dragged him into the pool too.
Llewellyn grinned. His arm caught my waist and he pulled me into a kiss, laughing.
"You're lucky I'm not in the mood for fighting right now," he said.
"What if I am in the mood for fighting?" I said, narrowing my eyes.
Llewellyn bit down on my lower lip and stretched it slightly, amused.
"Are you?"
I looked at him. All wet like that, he looked—
Okay, I wasn't.
We were kissing again.
"Clothes off," I said, attacking him immediately. "Putting them back on was a stupid idea."
"I disagree," Llewellyn said. Oh, that. I forgot he had a thing for seeing me in wet clothes.
Still… he let me take his off. Only when I was done with his, he reached for mine, removing them again.
It was a bit stupid that we didn't seem to be able to last five minutes alone without ending up like this, but why not? It's not like we'd get bonus points for restraint.
Besides… I really wanted to.
Things actually slowed down once we were naked again and we just stood there in the light of the spotlights, making out.
The water was cool and the air fresh, but I felt hot everywhere.
I tugged at his hair lightly and Llewellyn moaned and pressed me against the edge of the pool.
Out of nowhere, the System pinged.
[System Notification: User Gilded requires more crystals!]
What the—
Llewellyn and I stopped and looked at each other, panting slightly.
…We ignored it and crashed together again.
A second later, it pinged again.
[System Notification: User Gilded requires more crystals!]
...Are you serious?! Right now?!
