married time bliss [Joa & Sarafina]
Sarafina and Joachim are characters from a roleplay between @ladykakata and me. Sarafina was a commoner and Joachim is the Duke of a large mountainous region known as Hykross. The land is cold and difficult to survive in but the two make the best of it and are happy together. This is just a bit of smut that I had swirling in my head as I was writing for other mini fics. It will be under the cut.
In the two years of marriage Sarafina never thought she'd actually wish to be back up north during winter. Their recent trip to capital had been boring and filled with stately affairs that had Sarafina waiting in their chambers with nothing to do but gossip with other noblewomen. A pastime she didn't bother to partake in. Instead, she filled her days with reading a small book to encourage her own proficiency. She had known the basic prior to her marriage but with Joachim's quiet encouragement. She steadily started to challenge herself and her understanding of the written language.
A jolt from her carriage had her looking outside to see the landscape gradually turn into rocky terrain of their home. Sarafina had insisted that Joachim ride in the carriage with her for a portion of the journey, she could only sit alone for so long before she got stir-crazy.
Glancing in his direction she was impressed to see that he hadn't looked up from his papers. He had an unnatural ability to be hyper-focused as needed. No amount of rough riding would break him of his spell. Not that Sarafina needed a spell.
"Joa, how much longer do you think we have?" She questioned, pulling the curtain further back to allow Joa to really look outside.
"About an hour, why?"
"No reason, I just want out of his dress," She told him and his eyes went quickly to study her appearance. The dress was a southern fashion, brighter in color and thinner overall. Lacking any way to keep warmth close to the body. It had been a gift from the Queen Mother and Sarafina felt obligated to wear it as they departed. She'd likely only wear it in the south if Joachim ever asked her to join him on stately business again.
"Use my cloak to stay warm," He told her offering up the fur-lined cloak. She accepted it and dropped it over her front, tucking her arms inside for added comfort. Before she knew it she had dozed off and it wasn't until Joachim gently nudged her awake that she realized it. "We're home," He told her before stepping out of the carriage and turning to help her out. She thanked him with a smile before heading toward the castle and their rooms. Eager to change.
Joachim wasn't far behind as he too wanted to change into something more comfortable for the rest of his planned day. He intended to do paperwork and send letters to various important people. A dull work day ahead of him.
Sarafina having grown up without servants for the majority of her life, felt more comfortable undressing without help. Once she entered their bedchamber she waited for Joa to shut the door before she started the task. It was simple enough, southern dresses lacked layers and with a few loosening of silk ribbons, everything would slip right off. As her fingers moved to start at the bottom and undo the knot she felt a set of cold fingers to her hand.
"Let me," He whispered against her neck before he started to unlace the back. Sarafina couldn't hide the chill that worked its way down her spine. Leaning her head back she placed a kiss on his cheek, gasping softly as the dress became loose and slipped slowly off her body.
She wore only a thin undergarment which quickly followed suit as her husband helped her remove it in one fluid motion. Standing with her back toward her husband, she felt his hands caress her sides. Up they went until his hands were on her breasts, cupping them gently and letting his thumb swipe across her nipples.
Gasping softly in surprise at her own sensitivity, Sarafina moved her own hands to join Joa's at her chest. She guided her husband in squeeze her breasts slightly, her cheeks flushing further. She could feel the smirk on Joa's lips as he placed a kiss on one side of her neck and working his way carefully to the other, brushing her hair to the side as he went. Sarafina let her head tip back as he sucked a mark into the junction where her shoulder and neck met.
One of his hands moved further down. His were tougher than her own and made it easy for goosebumps to rise on the areas touched. Lower he went until his hand grazed the soft skin just below her belly-button. Tilting her head further her lips grazed against his as a whispered plea escaped her.
Furthering his decent, Joachim traced his fingers above the mound of her sex, which prompted Sarafina to turn and face him. No longer content with his careful teasing. Not surprised by his wife's antics, Joa's chuckled. Her fingers went to his clothing, quick and agile as they were, he was naked before his wife in a matter of heartbeats.
Pressing against him, her chest against his. Sarafina ran her fingers through his dark hair, letting her fingertips tease the nape of his neck. A shiver flowing down his spine. Facing each other, it was easier to kiss as well as explore the sensations of their two bodies against each other. His cock hardened against her soft skin and she wasted little time before taking him in hand and carefully started to stroke him. It was his turn to gasp softly, a soft request for a different speed seeped out of his mouth before Sarafina kissed him.
Having worked themselves up, they made their way back toward their bed. Joachim falling onto the firm but comfortable bed. Sarafina joined him by straddling him, their bodies almost perfectly aligned.
Returning to their efforts to tease one another, Joachim sat up to his elbows and pulled Sarafina close for a kiss. They remained on the cusp of something more longer than usual. The mutual desire to relearn each other's bodies made their time spent on the bed slow and meticulous.
However, it was Sarafina who gave in first. Leaning forward past her husband well-kissed lips, to whisper in his ear. The words uttered by his wife were enough to spur him into further action.
In one fluid motion, he rolled Sarafina off of him and onto her back. Now above her, he couldn't help but return to peppering her skin with marks. He left them only where he could ever see them but they still stirred him on. Sarafina continued her playful but equally sinful banter of phrases. Stopping only when she felt him enter her and the bliss of finally being together washed over her senses. Making her words turn to moans and her back arch in pleasure.
His movements were equally sensual and passionate and moments later as the rush of orgasm overtook them both. They cried out together, before silencing themselves with a heated kiss.
Once the bliss subsided, Joachim withdrew and found himself comfortable on the bed beside his love. She curled against him, tucking in close her hair wild and amess against the pillow that was her husband's forearm. He smiled, a rare smile meant only for her, before placing a kiss on her forehead. The desire for rest called to them both but Sarafina had the foresight to gather up the blankets and drag them across to provide warmth once the heat of the moment died down.
Joachim was asleep first which left Sarafina a rare moment to catch her husband softened feature as he slept. Kissing his lips one last time before she too fell asleep, she had her own special smile. Happy and content in her husband's arms.
