Potion of Love
Chapter Eleven: Giving In
Merlin's heart began to beat rapidly as his mind was filled with images of what they had done in Arthur's tent. "Arthur…" Merlin whispered back as he inched forward just a little, their lips barely touching. Arthur ran his hand across Merlin's side and then after a slight pause, he pulled Merlin forward closing the small gap that would bring their lips completely together.
"I don't want you to ever go off like that again, Merlin." Arthur said slowly, as he nibbled at Merlin's bottom lip. He moved his hands to Merlin's face, thumbs caressing his jawline delicately as if trying to memorize the shape of it. "I almost lost you; I don't think I could bear it." He told him, this time part of his words was muffled by their lips pressing against each other wildly.
Their lips were partly opened, as they tried to breath, and their tongues greedily explored each other's mouths. After a few minutes of passionate kissing, Merlin rested his forehead on Arthur's shoulder as he tried to calm himself. Arthur could feel Merlin's breath, erratic and hard against his neck and it aroused him even more.
He pulled Merlin back by his shirt and met his eyes for a second, as if searching for something there, and then pressed his lips against Merlin's once more. It had been eating at him for even believing that Merlin would ever leave him. Merlin was his and would always be by his side. This time their kisses were slower, calmer, and deeper. Their hands explored whatever skin they could find.
Arthur groaned into Merlin's mouth, as his lips pressed harder against him. The young King was unable to get enough of the sweet taste of Merlin's mouth. He brought his hands to Merlin's waist and pressed his body against him, lowering Merlin the rest of the way to the bed. His body clearly remembered the warmth Merlin's body had given him the last time they had made love and he was fully hard, his erection painfully tight against his trousers.
"Arthur we can't….someone might walk in." Merlin's trembling voice reached his ears once Arthur pulled his lips from Merlin to better position himself on top of him. He stopped kissing Merlin and moved back to meet Merlin's gaze. They stayed that way, frozen for a few moments, their eyes showing the emotions their bodies were denied to express.
Just then a knock on the door gave them a slight warning before a servant entered. Merlin moved frantically from under him and Arthur rose from the bed ready to kill the intruder. With Arthur no longer blocking his movements, Merlin fell to the floor with the sheets and a few pillows following his fall. A loud thump rang across the room, Arthur turned towards Merlin and some of his anger faded as he was once again reminded of his manservant's clumsiness.
The servant, who luckily for Merlin and Arthur was too busy balancing what he carried, was oblivious to what had just been about to transpire. He nervously moved to the table and set down two plates and turned to greet Arthur.
"Sorry to interrupt sire, but Lord Godwyn insisted that you both be brought food to eat." The young man told Arthur, who was now glaring at him as if he had just spit in the King's face. "He wanted me to inform you to meet him in the throne room once you were done with your lunch." He fidgeted from one foot to the other and then bowed, before moving towards the door and safety.
Arthur pulled his gaze away from the door and smiled at Merlin as he moved towards the table. One plate had the usual meats and cheeses with a few pieces of loaf. The other plate contained a nice variety of fruits. Reaching for a few strawberries, Arthur put one into his mouth and chewed on it as he walked back towards his manservant.
Merlin had already gotten up from the floor and managed to untangle his limbs from the sheets and now sat on the edge of the bed with his back to the table. Thus what Arthur did next threw Merlin by complete surprise. He jerked back a bit as his lips met the sweet half eaten strawberry, his eyes wandered up to Arthur's and could do nothing but part his lips slowly and accept the sweet fruit.
"Thank you Arthur, but I can feed myself." Merlin replied awkwardly as he licked his lips of the sweetness still lingering there. "I hurt my head not my hands." Merlin continued as he lifted his hands up as if to prove the point. He then saw the newly bandaged finger he had cut just a few days ago.
"The physician took it upon himself to address all your wounds." Arthur stated as he pushed another strawberry into Merlin's still open mouth. "He practically wanted to strip you naked to see if any more injuries had befallen you."
Merlin's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when the meaning of Arthur's words hit home. His arm, the mark was still on his skin. Had then seen it? Had Arthur? Merlin wondered as his face filled with worry and guilt, as he was once again reminded of the reason Arthur was acting the way he was towards him. He had forgotten all about the love spell.
"Don't worry Merlin, your chastity is safe." Arthur teased as his eyebrows danced up and down. "At least from anyone other than me, that is." He continued to tease with a huge grin on his face. And with that Merlin was once again on his back, with Arthur on top of him. This time they were lying across the middle of the bed, with their legs partly hanging over the side.
Arthur's hand rested just above Merlin's head, as they stared at each other's eyes. "Merlin, Lord Godwyn was right. I am hungry, but it's not food I am craving." Arthur said with a very serious low tone. He lowered his head and kissed Merlin's neck, then traced his lips across his pale skin to his soft lips. Merlin was too nervous and knew clearly where they were headed. He couldn't think of anything to persuade Arthur to stop, he didn't want him to.
Suddenly Merlin's stomach made a sound that sounded too much like a growl; Arthur moved back slightly and starred at his manservant. Merlin's cheeks turned slightly red as his stomach once again protested the need for food. "I haven't eaten in over a day…." Merlin began hiding part of his face behind his hand. His explanation was stopped as Arthur laughed and pulled them both off the bed. He dragged Merlin by the hand towards the table.
Sitting Merlin down, Arthur moved to take a seat next to him. "Eat, we have all day and you will need your energy." Arthur whispered into Merlin's ear as he pressed a piece of cheese into Merlin's lips. "I don't intend to let you out of this room for the rest of the day." He finished his teasing with a soft kiss to Merlin's cheek.
Merlin's face got even redder, as he took the cheese into his own hands and took a bite of it. Arthur leaned back on his chair and brought his hands behind his head. He couldn't help grinning, Merlin looked so adorable with his face all flushed the way it was.
"Lord Godwyn is having a special gathering for all possible suitors for his daughter, Elena." Arthur said suddenly, with a grin still on his face. He really liked how things were going, everything was perfect. He had Merlin back and they were practically a couple now, well in secret anyways. He would go deal with Lord Godwyn and then he would have the rest of the day to spend with Merlin.
Merlin spit the liquid he was drinking from one of the goblets and it landed on Arthur's shirt. "What?" Merlin asked as he wiped his lips and an apologetic look came over his face. "Sorry…" he murmured as he turned away from Arthur, his face now a slight pink color.
"He wanted to use this opportunity to have me meet with the some of the other kingdoms and propose the treaty." Arthur said as he looked at his shirt with a surprised look on his face. He moved to the wardrobe, which now contained his clothing, and took out another red shirt. "You didn't think he would force marriage on me again, after what happened with his daughter, did you?" Arthur asked but was met with silence.
Arthur moved towards the changing screen, but then decided against it. He stepped back towards the center of the room and into Merlin's eye sight. The King then proceeded to take his dirty shirt off, thanks to Merlin, making sure to take his sweet time doing so. Tossing the dirty shirt on the edge of the bed, he changed into a clean one. Sitting back down, Arthur smiled at Merlin triumphantly. Merlin hadn't stopped blushing since he had woken up.
Merlin moved the plate containing the array of meats towards Arthur. "I know how you like your sausages, sire." He teased as he smiled back at his king. Two people could play this game, they were back to their old teasing selves and Merlin was quite enjoying himself. Arthur's face turned into one of hurt and disbelieve.
"I am not fat Merlin; you of all people should know that!" Arthur exclaimed as he reached across and messed up Merlin's hair, then reached for the sausages. Eating them so fast, that Merlin could swear he had swallowed them whole, he wiped his hands on a cloth and got up. "Merlin, it's glad to have you back." Arthur said as his smile grew wider and he moved to the door, opening it. Shutting the door behind him, Arthur proceeded down the hall to meet with Lord Godwyn one more time.
Merlin stared at the closed door for a moment, before getting up and moving back to the bed. Sitting on the bed, his hands automatically reached for the sheets grasping them so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His eyes trailed back to the door, half expecting, half hoping them to open and reveal a cocky Arthur. Merlin looked down to his right arm and slowly touched it, his shirt covered the marking, but Merlin knew it was there. A sign escaped his lips, as he tossed himself back on the bed.

Roderick paced his chambers, ever so often stopping and staring at his door; Ivor was sitting on one of the chairs around the table drinking large amounts of wine and stuffing his face with food. They had rushed to the physician's chambers shortly after Arthur and his knights. Roderick had been denied the chance to see Merlin all together and Ivor had been made to wait until Caldor was done with looking over him. Arthur had slammed the door on them, with a look of pure hatred on his face.
After being led by a servant of Lord Godwyn's to their rooms, which would serve as their chambers for the duration of their visit, Roderick had been completely ignored. A few moments ago a servant had brought them food, but that was not the attention he had been expecting. Thus the reason for his pacing, it had been hours and he wanted to see Merlin. He had just met the young man and already his interest towards him was very strong. He had found another reason to hate the young Pendragon.
"Sire, you should really taste this wine. It's very good." Ivor said as he gulped down another goblet. "And the food could rival that of your, I mean your father's kingdom." Wiping his hand across his lips to stop the trail of wine dripping from them, he set the now empty goblet down and poured himself another.
"Maybe you should be trying to see what you can scoop out, instead of getting yourself drunk and stuffing your face with my food." Roderick told him coldly as he pulled the wine away from Ivor and set it back on the table with a loud thump. Ivor grumbled under his breath, but got up and headed for the door. He wasn't stupid as to ignore an order especially when his master was in a very bad mood.
"Ivor, while you are at it, find out where Merlin's room is at." Roderick ordered as he continued his pacing. "And don't mess up this time." He threw in as he recalled how Ivor had ended up in the dungeons of Camelot and set their whole plan to ruin.
"Of course, Sire." Ivor replied as he bowed to his master and closed the door behind him. He headed to the servants quarters, where else would someone find the most interesting tidbits of information? Also, it wouldn't hurt to find a female companion to keep him warm at night for the remainder of his stay. Roderick paced a few moments more then grabbed his coat and exited the room, he wasn't the patient type. He would find Merlin on his own, how hard could it be to find one servant?

Arthur returned, after a few hours, to his chambers. Merlin, who was now wearing a blue shirt and a red handkerchief around his neck, was staring out a window. It was the same window Arthur had been staring at when he had been waiting for his servant to awaken. Arthur shut the door behind him, as quietly as he could, and moved towards Merlin.
He wrapped his arms around Merlin's thin waist and pressed his chest against his back. He nibbled on Merlin's ear and pressed him even tighter against his body. The whole time he had spent talking to Lord Godwyn Arthur had only had one thought in his mind, Merlin and the desire to repeat what they had done in his tent.
Merlin let himself be pressed against Arthur's hard chest, the warmth there made his own body feel hot and heavy. He moved his head back and offered his lips to his King. His offer was quickly received and as their lips locked together, Merlin could feel himself being pushed towards the bed. He soon found himself on the soft sheets and he could feel Arthur's hands messing with his belt.
Their lips parted as Arthur tried to concentrate on undressing Merlin. Merlin let out a small moan of protest at the void, he moved upwards to meet Arthur's lips again. Both obviously wanted each other, their breathing becoming a bit faster as their hands ran across each other's bodies. They needed to feel each other's naked skin and they tugged at each other's clothes trying to pry it off. After a few tries they manage to undress each other and the floor was covered with various garments thrown in each direction.
Merlin's exposed chest rose and dropped heavily with anticipation, as he felt his hips being lifted. Arthur moved to set himself in-between Merlin's legs and brought one arm under Merlin's back. They stared into each other's eyes as Arthur brought his other hand to cup Merlin's buttocks and with one precise movement pushed inside him. Merlin's body tightening against the intrusion and the slight pain as Arthur moved deeper inside of him. "Arthur…" Merlin groaned as he tried to shift away from the pain his lower half was feeling.
"Damn… You're so tight, Merlin…" Arthur moaned into Merlin's ear as he thrust deeper still, raising Merlin's left leg up towards his chest. He almost came right then and there; Merlin was so tight and warm, that it was almost too much for him. Arthur managed to hold back; he wanted to make Merlin feel good this time around.
He thrust slower and deeper, pushing Merlin into the bed with each push. They kissed hungrily and their hands couldn't stop exploring every inch of each other's skin. Merlin's skin was as soft as he remembered and as beautiful. Lifting Merlin's hips higher, Arthur pushed himself even deeper, bucking his hips and hitting the delicate spot inside Merlin. This made Merlin moan as he wrapped his arms around Arthur's back and brought their hips closer together.
After a few moments, Merlin let go of Arthur and grasped the sheets as he felt Arthur ram into him faster. His knuckles turned white as he continued to grasp the sheets tighter to keep himself from falling off the bed. "Arthur…I am going to fall off." Merlin gasped between thrusts, his head was half way off the edge already.
Arthur lifted Merlin towards him and moved further to the middle of the bed. Kneeling on the bed, Arthur positioned Merlin on top of him managing to stay inside of him in the process. Merlin quickly cradled Arthur and wrapped his legs around his sides as he brought his arms around his neck. He let Arthur rock him upwards and then downwards, moaning again when he felt him partly slip out and back inside again.
Soon his hips were moving on their own, meeting Arthur's thrusts with even more vigor as the pain was completely gone and all Merlin could feel was the unadulterated pleasure. Merlin wanted to feel more of Arthur, so he wrapped his legs around Arthur's waist and thrust his hips downwards in a much harder pace.
"Slow down Merlin, or I won't be able to hold on much longer." Arthur gasped as Merlin's movements brought him near his edge. Their bodies were completely covered in sweat as they continue to move together with each thrust. Arthur can see his climax was near; his buttock muscles tighten as he tried to keep it at bay. He wanted Merlin to come at the same time as him.
"Come with me Merlin." Arthur managed to say before his lips were covered with Merlin's, he could tell Merlin was also close to climaxing. With one final thrust, both Arthur and Merlin reached their climax at the same time. Merlin's nails dug merciless into Arthur's back and their breathing reached a new high as their bodies shook with exhaustion.
They continued to cling to each other after Arthur spilled his seed inside Merlin and his stomach was sticky from Merlin's. There with no words spoken as they fell onto the bed in a heap of limps and sweat. Arthur moved a bit back to stare at Merlin's naked body when he noticed something on his right arm.
He looked at the bandaged arm and a questioning look crossed his face. "What is this Merlin?" he asked as he moved further back and raises a hand to touch the bandages. He was sure those hadn't been there earlier. "It's nothing; I scrapped my arm in the woods." Merlin replies as he clung to his arm and pulled it away from Arthur's reach.

Author's Note:
First time writing fluffy stuff, how did I do? Sorry if it seemed more like slash all the way thru. I hope I was able to describe fairly ok what was going on as they got it on. Next chapter will carry on the slash and smut; I am going to slow the story down a bit for a chapter or two, then it's back to finding the cure and kicking Evelyn's ass. Plus all the good scenes with Roderick and Merlin….oh can't say much expect there will be no Roderick/Merlin, its more one sided for him. I can almost hear Arthur say to him "Hands off, he is mine!" But that doesn't mean Roderick won't be trying, he isn't the type to take a no lightly.

After a few moments, Merlin let go of Arthur and grasped the sheets as he felt Arthur ram into him faster. His knuckles turned white as he continued to grasp the sheets tighter to keep himself from falling off the bed. "Arthur…I am going to fall off." Merlin gasped between thrusts, his head was half way off the edge already.
Arthur lifted Merlin towards him and moved further to the middle of the bed. Kneeling on the bed, Arthur positioned Merlin on top of him managing to stay inside of him in the process. Merlin quickly cradled Arthur and wrapped his legs around his sides as he brought his arms around his neck. He let Arthur rock him upwards and then downwards, moaning again when he felt him partly slip out and back inside again.
Soon his hips were moving on their own, meeting Arthur's thrusts with even more vigor as the pain was completely gone and all Merlin could feel was the unadulterated pleasure. Merlin wanted to feel more of Arthur, so he wrapped his legs around Arthur's waist and thrust his hips downwards in a much harder pace.
"Slow down Merlin, or I won't be able to hold on much longer." Arthur gasped as Merlin's movements brought him near his edge. Their bodies were completely covered in sweat as they continue to move together with each thrust. Arthur can see his climax was near; his buttock muscles tighten as he tried to keep it at bay. He wanted Merlin to come at the same time as him.
"Come with me Merlin." Arthur managed to say before his lips were covered with Merlin's, he could tell Merlin was also close to climaxing. With one final thrust, both Arthur and Merlin reached their climax at the same time. Merlin's nails dug merciless into Arthur's back and their breathing reached a new high as their bodies shook with exhaustion.
They continued to cling to each other after Arthur spilled his seed inside Merlin and his stomach was sticky from Merlin's. There with no words spoken as they fell onto the bed in a heap of limps and sweat. Arthur moved a bit back to stare at Merlin's naked body when he noticed something on his right arm.
He looked at the bandaged arm and a questioning look crossed his face. "What is this Merlin?" he asked as he moved further back and raises a hand to touch the bandages. He was sure those hadn't been there earlier. "It's nothing; I scrapped my arm in the woods." Merlin replies as he clung to his arm and pulled it away from Arthur's reach.

Author's Note:
First time writing fluffy stuff, how did I do? Sorry if it seemed more like slash all the way thru. I hope I was able to describe fairly ok what was going on as they got it on. Next chapter will carry on the slash and smut; I am going to slow the story down a bit for a chapter or two, then it's back to finding the cure and kicking Evelyn's ass. Plus all the good scenes with Roderick and Merlin….oh can't say much expect there will be no Roderick/Merlin, its more one sided for him. I can almost hear Arthur say to him "Hands off, he is mine!" But that doesn't mean Roderick won't be trying, he isn't the type to take a no lightly.
