[Truly, he was blessed to wake to her warm affection.
His skin tingled beneath the trailing pressure of her touch. Shifting into her kiss, he let the lethargy of his limbs translate to the slow drag of his lips, then smiled]
[ Loosening her arms from around him as he rolled onto his back she laughed, and shook her head as she propped herself up on her elbow and peered down at him. ]
[ Sitting up a little more as he got settled Lily watched his face, recalling how roughed up he had been when she found him, nodding with a faint smile. ]
Are you really not in any pain? I brought the salves Wen Qing had for me when I was recovering in case you needed them.
[His smile softened and he raised his wrist briefly to show off the bracer attached to it. It's not something he usually wears to bed, but it was efficient when he was injured]
I'm okay. This heals slowly, but it's been working on me since it was returned. I'm still a little tender in places, but that will fade soon.
[He reached up to trail fingertips over her jaw] But you're sweet to think of that.
[ With a pleased sigh she reached up, catching his hand and guiding it to her waist before she leaned forward, stretching out as she went, her hands combing through his hair as she pulled him into a kiss. ]
[Eleven hummed contentment, a soft warmth blooming in his chest as his lips shifted against hers. His hands both gripped her waist with thumbs that grazed the hem of her shirt and teased the skin beneath]
[ Drawing herself up against him Lily wrapped one arm around his shoulders as her free hand fell to his side, pulling him closer to her as one leg hooked around his hip. ]
[How many times has he had the thought of how fortunate he was to have Lily's affection? A recurring blessing. Eleven rocked up into her just once, breaking from her lips with another smile. The morning was a wonderful time for this, warm and already stirred with some interest.
His hands rucked up beneath her shirt, steadily exploring soft skin in lazy circles]
[ Pressing against him as he moved against her she smiled back at him before ducking her head to kiss his neck, her hands tugging on the fabric of his shirt. ]
[Eleven grunted short agreement and reached up to tug the sleeves of his shirt out from beneath his bracer, then arched up and helped her remove his shirt.
He glanced down his torso, unsurprised to see a handful of blemishes, yellowed at least rather than the deeper, more worrying colors they'd been before. His fingers prodded at them to briefly assess their tenderness, then offered a reassuring smile]
Nothing to worry about. They'll fully heal over the next few hours I expect.
[He looked at her, expression sobering in the wake of her frown. The building heat in his loins threatened impatience, and he decided it was just as well that she was settled over him like this.
Eleven breathed and reached for her with a faint smile]
No. So long as you aren't in a hurry to return to the city.

Best to stay here with me.

I believe I'll manage.

I'll do my best to avoid your tender places, I promise.

I think I'd rather you didn't.

Really? Nothing to worry about?
[ Shaking her head Lily sat up beside him again, tracing her hands over his torso. ]
Are you sure you couldn't do with another day's rest? If you hurt yourself because you want to shag me that badly I'm going to tell you I told you so.
no subject
It would be well worth it.
[His smile softens, fond] But really, I'm fine. Though I can finish healing this now if it worries you so.
no subject
As long as you're really alright, but– [ She frowned, seeming just a little nervous. ] We don't have to rush, right?
