Romanced Iron Bull or not, I headcanon  Krem would sew stuffed toys (pink dragons, plushy qunari, colorful dolls) and he would send them to the Inquisitor’s children.  Because, you know, uncle Krem!

An Afternoon

Sometimes love requires loudly words and a fierce lovemaking. Other times, no.

Cullen X Demetra Trevelyan (nsfw… sort of)

“What are you doing?”.

Cullen doesn’t have to look for knowing that she has put down her book and her eyebrow is arched, questioning gently his move.

“I’m enjoying our time together.” he sighs happily, almost sleepy, completely relaxed for once, surrounded by the familiar things which he prefers most: her scent of freesia and leather, for example. Or the calm in her room in the summer afternoon, gently interrupted just time to time from a voice or a far noise from Skyhold’s courtyard. Or, more probably, it’s just being stretched out on the sofa, half clinged around her body. Cullen nuzzles again his cheek against her belly “I’m happy that you can stay in Skyhold for a little longer this time.”.

He feels her fingers caressing tenderly his hair, searching for the curls that she adores so much “Me too, Cullen. I need to rest a little and stay with you a lot.”.

The Commander laughs and kisses her belly. Demetra taps on his head with her index finger “Stop remember me that I need to eat less Cabot’s stew and train more!”.

Cullen knows that she’s joking, but anyway he grips her hips more firmly, before kissing the same point again and again “You’re perfect. So soft, warm and beautiful. You can't blame me if I can’t stop touching you, when we’re alone.”

“And in public.” she teases back, blushing adorably and shaking her head. Cullen smirks, shifting for reaching her lips “Not so often and anyway…”.

The rest of the sentence is lost in a gentle touch of lips, whispered words of love and tender caresses. And when their clothes start to fall on the floor, it’s not a real surprise for them. Skin against skin, hands that explore silky paths and encourage whispered moans, every time is at the same time new and known, every time is home for them, a safe place where nothing less than good could enter. His tenderness fades slowly in passionate thrusts and his kisses become naturally bites who marked her, claiming her pleasured sighs and the moans which he, and only he, can listen.

It’s so right loosing themselves together, it’s so good holding the other under their fingers, rippling muscles and full curves the only anchors which they want.

They don’t need to scream, at least not this time: the pleasure arrives quiet and not less intense, pulsating between them, around them.When she arches her back murmuring his name, his answer is low and intense, grabbing her thights while his own pleasure reaches the peak.

He regains his sense much, much later, panting quietly against her breasts, encircled by her, just her, always her. 

Real, satisfied, his.

“Maker’s breath, I love you.”.

He knows she simply loves hearing that words and even if Cullen prefers actions, for admiring the smile which rewards his effort, he’s more than glad to say it. Demetra kisses his nose, his damp hair, her hands running lazily along his toned back, up and down in a dance that he enjoys fully “And I love you. Always.”.

They lay together, admiring the sunset painting her quarters with gold, pink, orange. Her cheek on the top of his head, both of them happy and quiet and grateful for the gift to be together again.
