"Is there something else you want to see me in?" he teases, eyes fluttering and moaning lightly as she squeezes against him then moves to get him out of his pants. The moment his flesh touches her thigh, he feels his want swell, further buoyed by her low words and the bite on his lip. Leaning into the bliss of wanting her, he slides his free hand up the small of her back, rubbing his length along her thigh as he presses a finger into her over the fabric, knowing it's getting tight as it pulls against her skin. He can almost ignore the way his heart flipped at her saying she needed him
"Happy to oblige, my lady." His fingers twist, pulling her panties aside, the way she had him do last night. He wants to reclaim that too, fill every possible crack with good memory. He shifts his hips, slowly running his hot length against her slick opening, wetness gathered there from being pressed against her panties. Only after he's gotten both their breathing jagged does he murmur, "Guide me in." He could do it himself but...he likes her helping, likes her welcoming him, and he doesn't really want to let go of her, even for this.
"Let's start with me, and see," she whispers, giving him a grin. There are a lot of things Aerith wants to see Balthier in, among them quite a few she can't quite say out loud without risking crossing a line - but he's too distracting for her to dwell on that, the hand he teases her with pulling her focus, making her whimper as he presses a finger against her entrance through the damp fabric of her panties. Shifting against the press of his cock, the hand around the base of him tenses gently, giving him another teasing squeeze.
Her breath catches, feeling him hastily push aside her panties, exposing the slick heat of her cunt to the open air beneath her skirt. Last night it had been a grim necessity, something she told him to do out of practicality, to preserve both their modesties while getting what they had to do over with, but today it's thrilling. An impulsive move that speaks volumes to his need for her, one she relishes. Humming low in approval she tilts her hips closer to him, head tipping back as she gasps from the way he teases her, and the more pleasant memories of the time he touched her like this before, their first morning together.
Sighing happily at that request, Aerith moves her hand up the length of his cock, brushing the head of him against her clit, drawing out the moment before she guides him lower, pressing him past her entrance before her hips roll forward and she sinks onto him with an eager moan. "You feel so perfect," she whispers, the comment clearly a product of the blissful feeling that comes along with having him inside her, and nothing else.
Her teasing response brings a grin to his face, even as he feels a flush on his cheeks. It's not like he hasn't been inside her before, but something about her playful humor and the affirmation that she wants him there again make him feel light and heady. Or maybe it's just her whimpering and wet cunt and the way she's squeezing his cock. Whatever hesitance he felt about pressing her panties aside is entirely mollified by how clearly she's enjoying it.
As he obliges his request, he shudders in anticipation, moaning against her as she uses his head to tease her clit. Things he absolutely knows he shouldn't say bubble in his throat. It's just the release, the relief after that horrible ordeal. So he presses his lips to her hair, working down the side of her face, chuckling breathlessly at her compliment. "And you sound perfect," he agrees.
He stays like this for a moment, enjoying her moaning and easing against him, even if he has to angle his legs wider and adjust to help them slowly slide into one another. It would be more than enough to just hold her like this, rock gently against her and listen to her soft sounds while he kissed her softly. Something about that desire feels...shameful. So instead he adjusts his hands, sliding them around her back and thighs until he has a good grip to life her up. "Legs around me," he murmurs before they're kissing again.
The awkwardness of their height difference is mitigated, and having her clinging to him for support is...hotter than he expected. "Hold tight," he orders and, with her wrapped around him, begins to slide in and out of her, moving her hips toward him and away again, hissing with pleasure as he does. "Mmm you are always an exquisite partner, Aerith."
Standing on her toes with the one foot she's still got against the ground, Aerith uses what leverage she's got to rock against him, her breasts pressing to his chest as she arches herself closer, the fabric of his vest teasing at her exposed nipple. It almost feels like every facet of Balthier is enjoyable, or appealing in some way, especially like this, standing precariously out in the open, moving with him as he adjusts his stance and runs kisses down the side of her face that feel sweet enough to make her want to say something truly stupid.
Before she can, she turns her head, nuzzling his cheek before her lips brush against the line of his jaw, a little squeak of surprise stifled against his skin when he adjusts his hands, moving them to the back of her thighs to lift her fully off the ground. "Balthier!" His name is punctuated by a flight of excited, happy giggles, astonished and delighted to be taken like this. Like so many of the things that have happened between them, this too is new ground for Aerith, and this new angle he's found to drive into her leaves her moaning, thighs tensing against his sides, more than careful not to impede the way he rolls his hips while thrusting himself deeply into her.
"You're unbelievable," Aerith answers before using the hold the sides of her knees have on him to hold herself up, doing what she can to keep herself still so that he can drive into her more easily. She breaks off from that kiss, gazing at him through half-lidded eyes, her already pounding heart quickening somehow while watching his face. "You're so beautiful," it feels like she's been holding that in for hours, but the look in his eyes and the warmth of his body has eaten away at the last of her resolve, letting the truth slip out in a heated rush.
He loves the way she likes to nuzzle into his cheek and pepper kisses on his jaw. They're sweet, soft gestures that remind him of long sunsets or quiet afternoons with tea, comforting and magical but quiet. Hard to recreate. It's strange, too, to be starting to feel familiar with her touch. And he absolutely loves surprising her, grinning at her delighted laughter and the way she gasps his name. That he won't get tired of anytime soon, and he puts his thanks into steadily thrusting into her, his kisses full of smiles as he does.
Smiles that only widen at her compliment and the way she shifts to help him. They're -- a team, really. So much of this reminds him of how easily he and Fran work together, even if the work is so different. Not that he'd call this work. It's -- fun. Easy. Though he supposes so is thieving. There's something different, though, that he can't put his finger on, a different cadence as she draws back to look him in the eye, voice breathless and heavy as she praises him.
"I've never met anyone like you, Aerith. And I quite enjoy rare and beautiful things."
She's wildly beautiful, and more than a little feral taking him hungrily like this, one breast out, hair wild in the wind, skin flushed and lips parted in moans. Balthier has seen a lot in his time, gods and monsters and queens and legends, but there's something simultaneously otherworldly and utterly rooted about Aerith that makes it hard not to stare at her, trying to commit every bit of this to memory. She's so alive, so full of joy and playfulness, and it makes him want to be present too, to do whatever he can to make her gasp and moan and laugh. Except that...it's easy. He barely has to work at all.
"Kiss me," he murmurs, not that he couldn't initiate himself, but it's a little easier for her to maneuver and -- he likes seeing the joy she gets when he tells her to do something they'll both enjoy.
Her forearms rest against his shoulders, helping him hold her up while freeing her hands to run through his hair and down his back, finding the feel of his clothes still on his body while he's buried deep inside her oddly alluring, their rumpled clothing speaking volumes about how impossible it was to wait to be like this again. His compliments make her chest tighten all over again, leaving her mind reeling while the movement of his hips continued to make waves of bliss wash through her.
It's a fight not to say more, to turn the remark back on him and point out how he's the one that's rare and beautiful between them - equal parts a prince and a pirate, tempered by this sweet, caring heart of his. There are too many things she could say, wants to say, but is aware that even here, fully disarmed and wrapped up in everything he gives her, it's not the space for it.
Instead, she leans in, a breathy laugh escaping her at that very easily granted request, though she holds back in favor of resting her forehead against his, her eyes falling closed as she purses her lips together to stifle another pleasured cry, basking in him. "What will the neighbors think?" The question is posed in a dreamy sigh, and Aerith has no interest in letting him answer, her mouth capturing his in an eager kiss, lips parting so that her tongue can brush nimbly against his.
Balthier would be perfectly happy to serve Aerith and get nothing in return outside her willing pleasure, but here she is -- as always -- making him breathless with the way she shifts and adds to their dynamic, holding herself up and running her hands through his hair. He's really coming to love that private caress, and while neither of them has said it, he's in agreement that there's something deeply alluring about all this with their clothes still between them. His only complaint is that he can't easily touch all of her this way, and he can't just fall into bed with her after.
As she presses her forehead to his, he moans happily, nuzzling against her nose and grinning at her silly question, a thrill rising in him once more that they're out in the open, viewers be damned. She doesn't give him a chance to answer, kissing him hard and teasing. His moan gets deeper, loving her assertiveness as much as having his command met so enthusiastically. It's enough to strengthen his thrusting, the early shivers of orgasm starting to threaten. Scions, it shouldn't be this easy to come. With his hands occupied and her tongue against his, all he can do his grip her more tightly, whole body aching for her to be close to him. He adjusts her again slightly, wondering if he can't get more pressure against her clit as they rock together. Her gasps are just so beautiful.
Unknowingly, they share that complaint - as delightful as this is, out in the fresh air, swept off her feet and so completely caught up in him, she misses the way his hands move over her and always seem to know exactly where to touch. She makes up for it, her hands in his hair, kissing him until she's forced to pull back and take a few shaky breaths, and even then her lips find his in fleeting brushes, the soft cries of her enjoyment filling the small amount of space between their bodies.
The way he adjusts himself before driving into her again pulls a cry out of her, and Aerith tips her hips down, letting the length of his cock drag slickly across her clit in a teasing brush with every thrust. Her thighs tremble slightly, but she's determined to keep hold of him, wanting to feel as much of that delicious heat that sweeps through her each time he buries himself inside her as she can.
Every roll of his hips pushes her closer to the edge, urgency fueling her movements, giving them a rougher, hungrier edge, the hand roving over his back, stilling as she grips his shoulder and moans. "Wonderful," the word is whispered and it's hard to say just what she's talking about - even Aerith doesn't know. So many things fit the bill it's hard to settle on just one.
What he misses in being able to touch her is offset by how much he enjoys being clung to and touched, having -- for once -- to truly focus on receiving since his hands are busy. As her movements get rougher, he kisses her harder, murmuring her name as she cries against his lips, only to seek her out again.
There's a gently shake in her thighs, and she slips a little. His arms are feeling it too, and originally he'd meant to move them back against the side of the house, but now he wants to finish like this, both of them desperate to be close, fighting gravity and muscles and clinging to each other. As she shifts to cling to his shoulders, moaning for him, he knows they're both close.
"So wonderful," he whispers back, not trusting himself to specify. He's so close, orgasm hovering, and he wants to drive into her harder, run his hands all over her, thrust faster, but he feels precariously balanced and desperately trying to get a little more. "Bite my neck," he murmurs, a gentle plea to it. "I'm so close --"
If she's gotten fatigued being arranged like this, some part of Aerith's subconscious has firmly decided to deal with it later. This is too good to ruin by something as trivial as getting tired, even as he pushes her closer to orgasm, she wants to make every second last, relishing how utterly beautiful this, and everything about him is. It's hard to say if she's ever felt like this before if she's ever formed a connection with someone that brings out everything that whatever she and Balthier share brings out of her. She can't examine it - she won't examine it if she can help it, but not reveling in it is impossible.
A deep, happy sigh escapes her when she hears that word come back to her, the hold her legs keep against his sides firming as she grins against his mouth between kisses. "Come for me, please, I want to feel you," she nips his bottom lip as her hips tremble her walls tensing around his cock as that eagerness pushes her closer to her own release, making her duck her head down, dragging her teeth along his throat before biting at his skin, her free hand tugging gently at his hair as the tension in her body coils tight and begins to unfurl, crying out between nips to his neck as she shudders against him.
His moans grown low and insistent, and while he tells himself it's the feel of her tightening around him and the nip at his lip, her words absolutely do something for him. "Yes," he rasps, his reply turning into a strangled whimper as she obliges his request, teeth stroking over him before she sinks in, the tension against his hair incredible.
"Aerith," he gasps, something changing in his movement as his body moves of its own accord, chasing her shuddering and teasing, needing every taste of her he can get. "Yes, please -- yell for me -- hnghh -- " His words are cut off again by a whimpering cry, cock shuddering as she whimpers and bites. His fingers dig into her flesh, clutching her legs like they're anchoring him here. He wants to kiss her, wants to touch her, wants to scrabble against her and he can't do anything but keep desperately thrusting into her. "I -- I'm coming--"
The force of it makes him bury his head in her shoulder, biting against her flesh to stifle his cry as he whimpers through the shuddering ecstasy, frozen as he tries to stay standing, supporting her, pushing her and her fluttering cunt to their own orgasm. It's precarious and absurd and the orgasm that rolls through him is absolutely maddening, threatening to blank his brain and topple them both, and he likes that too, clinging to her helplessly, eyelids fluttering and knees shaking. "Aerith, fuck, Aerith--"
The way their movements seem to rise to a frenzied pitch as each of them comes undone, their orgasms cresting like a dense wave is more than enough to leave Aerith obliging him, crying out his name as her mouth runs over his skin almost drunkenly, trailing kisses and bites over every square inch of flesh her mouth can reach. "Come for me, please," she pants, shaking in his hold as her orgasm leaves her senses reeling, her lips claiming his in another ravenous kiss, her walls tense and slick around his cock.
The heat of his release spreads through her as she comes, every sensation sweeping over her body feeling as though it's ramped up tenfold, making her moan and whimper as the hand in his hair moves to cradle his cheek, adoring and possessive, kissing him through the last throes of her orgasm until she too is left thunderstruck and breathless, shivering where he holds her. "Everything you do is so perfect," she whispers against his lips between kisses, the hand on his cheek gently caressing his skin as she basks in this glorious feeling and the wonderful hold he has her in. "Balthier," she hums, eyelids fluttering open so that she can look over his face, "you're wonderful."
Breathless and dizzy, all he can do is grin at her, face tilting into her hand, staring back at her with so much adoration his face hurts. "I have so much fun with you," he agrees. "More than I thought I could with anyone here." Truly, for him, this was a prison, activity he didn't want to participate in and dreaded completing. But he forgets with her. Wants...more. Endlessly more. He sighs, kissing her again. "You're perfect, Aerith." His cheeks are hot and his chest is tight and some part of him knows he shouldn't have said that but how can he not?
"Are we bathing or eating first?" he asks, almost regretting the way it shakes whatever this moment is back to some semblance of reality, but relieved by it too, feeling like he's stepping back from some huge precipice. Besides, the idea of bathing with her again, of feeding her, of falling asleep to her warm, beautiful body stretched across his is enough to buoy any disappointment.
He eases her down, sighing as the change in angle causes him to slip out, oddly attracted to knowing his cum is inside her, even if it's about to make a mess. Once her feet are on the ground, though, he wraps tightly around her, cradling her head to his chest and planting kisses on her hair. "Thank you. Fore taking such good care of me after..." he trails off, kissing her again, but it's enough to say what he needs to, and he rocks her in his hold for a moment, aware they're both a rumpled mess and feeling the safest he has in...
Coming from anyone else she would bat such incredibly high praise aside almost instantly, but with Balthier she almost melts into it, kissing him and nodding in earnest. "You are. My time with you is wonderful." In ways and on levels she won't allow herself to articulate, even as the thought of them fills her chest with a warmth that has little to nothing to do with the last fading throes of her orgasm.
She frowns a little as their bodies break apart as he sets her back down on her feet before the question pulls a big grin to her face. "Eating! I want to try your cooking!" Aerith leans up, cheerfully kissing his cheek while she answers, adjusting her dress and concealing her breasts once more, privately enjoying the thought of his cum inside her, even as the buttons it pushes for her are ones she hasn't brushed against before, like she's been claimed, in a way, delightedly so. And while the kitchen is still a sparse wreck, the thought of him there, cooking for her and simply taking up space in her space is wonderful all by itself.
Surprised when he thanks her for the night before, Aerith brings both her hands up, cradling his face as she holds him in a long kiss. "Don't thank me Balthier, I'll always take care of you if you need me to." Because that's what friends did for one another, right?
Reluctant, she pulls away from that embrace, catching his hand to lead him back towards the house. "Besides, if we eat first, we can just take a bath and get right into bed."
