As much as Caspian likes being out in the stables, there's a limit to how long you can spend working on your boat or grooming the horses or repairing tack before it becomes truly mind-numbing.
Besides, he needs some supper.
He seats himself at Bar, after brushing the hay from his shirt.
He may be ordering tea.

Her hand's still at his throat and gently tracing designs on it as she takes a long, slow breath.

This does not just apply to sharing a bed with Lucy, although the this does include it. It means this life, this place, this world where he can be with her. He'd never thought he'd be able to share a life with Lucy.
He swallows, and ducks his head to kiss her palm, taking a moment to slow his breathing. "Better than I ever imagined," he says, with a little bit of a laugh, trying his smile, which is sweet and shaking, a bit.

"Well," he says, thoughtfully, though his eyes are sparkling, "anything we like, of course."
Anything, which probably includes slipping her trousers over her hips and down her legs to land in a pool on the floor while he takes a moment to run his hand up over her calf and shin and thigh before laysing himself back down, one of his own legs hooked over the closest one of hers to pull her even closer.

"Anything?" she asks after a moment, wrapping her arms around his back and sounding a little amused.
no subject
"And yes. Anything."
He considers.
"Well, within reason."
no subject
"I must not have been thinking," seriously, still grinning as she pushes him onto his back and kisses him briefly as her hands slowly--and admittedly nervously--undo his trousers and carefully sits back to pull them off his legs.
And then Lucy just looks at him for a minute. "Much better," she says finally, softly.

"Can I help it if you got distracted?" he asks, kissing his way up her throat, and laughing softly.

It's easy to forget how good skin feels.

"So kind of you," is her only answer to that before resting her forehead on his shoulder and breathing slowly.

After the heat and the need and the wanting, it's nice to be still for a moment, feeling her breathe, all twined together in a tangle of legs and arms and golden hair.

"Of pushing you too far. Or making a mistake." A breath. It's hard to admit, because he knows it's a foolish thing to worry about, really.
And yet it's there, a bit.
"I don't want to lose you again."
no subject
"For a man who lived so very long, you're still very foolish, Caspian," she says finally, with a smile. "I want this. I want you. I'm not going anywhere. Not ever again, unless you come with me."
no subject
"And I don't doubt it. But it's been nothing more than a dream for fifty years. It's--hard for me, still to believe it, sometimes."
He turns his head to place a kiss in her palm.
"I suppose I can't help being a fool about some things."
His lips curve into a smile.
"And you? How are you feeling, about all this?"

"Then we should both just stop worrying," he tells her. "For it'll do us no good." He shrugs, lightly.
"Mistakes happen, I suppose. It's part of learning about each other."
A pause.
"And it's hard to worry when all I want to do is touch you."

And it's nice to lie here like this, he thinks, content and warm and learning what to do.
no subject
"Love you," she says finally, mostly a whisper, against his neck, and she's still amazed, a little, that it's okay to even say that.
no subject
It's always amazing.
He grins.
"Even though you want to inflict a dragon on me."
