✮ A/N: hello :P! this is my first fic ever on this account. playing bg3 for the first time has WILDLY inspired me to begin writing. any feedback is highly appreciated :3!!
Tonight was not unlike the past flurry of nights you and Astarion had spent together ever since saving the Emerald Grove. A night that consisted of hushed whispers, soft giggles, tangled limbs. What wasn’t there to like about the pale elf who you began to seek out after the sun had set? That handsome, charming, silver-tongued vampire had you in a proverbial chokehold. Well… his propensity for murder might’ve not been all that great.
“Astarion…,” you whimpered quietly, your nails digging into his forearms. You were flat on your back while he was straddled on top of you- one hand to the left of your head- his other nestled between your legs. The cool summer air nipped at your skin, but Astarion’s ministrations worked to keep your body warm.
That was one of the things you didn’t think you’d ever get over- just how cool his skin felt in contrast to yours. His lips planted a paradoxically chaste kiss on your forehead, “You’re doing so well for me, my sweet.” His fingers were curled deep in your hole, relentlessly slamming the soft, spongy spot inside you. The spot that brought about pure ecstasy that warmed you more than any wine could dream of.
Throughout a slew of whimpers, mewls, and moans that you were sure the rest of your camp was trying not to hear, your hands flew to his back for a better grip. His curling fingers were speeding up to a devilish pace, your toes beginning to curl. You could feel the all-to familiar tightening of your core...
Your fingers began to dig into the muscular flesh lining the width of his back before you remembered his scars. Through your climb to your climax, you still managed to remember just how painful those had to be for Astarion. Another moan bubbled from your lips, in addition to a muffled “Ah… sorry..,”
The sudden halting of his fingers sent you reeling. You were suddenly breathless, the waves of your orgasm ebbing away. “W-why?” You huffed, your eyebrows knitting together in confusion and disdain.
Astarion’s face was unreadable. He didn’t break eye contact, but just stared at you with a mild frown on his face. This wasn’t the first time you had avoided touching his scars out of concern, and certainly wouldn’t be the last. So why- just why did it trigger something in his brain this time? And why did he feel a twinge of guilt at your desperate, wanting expression?
He couldn’t remember the last time someone had shown him genuine concern past the point of just wanting a good time with him. He couldn’t remember a time at all, much less, that he was concerned for someone he was having sex with. It took but a moment in his mind to realize the path that his feelings for you would take him down. He was sure, at this very moment- with you beneath him, whimpering, holding onto him like he was your God; your savior; with you glistening with a sheen of sweat, your exasperated eyes holding a deeper affection towards him- that he was in love with you. And deeply so.
His mouth crashed down onto yours without a moment to spare. He kissed you like tonight could be his last. Who knew…? With this parasite it might have been. In his near-frantic state, his vampiric fangs caught your lip as he pulled away, slightly nicking your lower lip. A dribble of blood began to fall down your chin.
“Astarion,” you had caught your breath by this point, “is everything okay?” You were trying to search his eyes for an inkling of a clue as to what he was thinking.
A soft smile overcame his face as he used his left hand to swipe away the blood trickling down your chin, popping his thumb in his mouth. He carefully licked the blood from his finger as his eyes began raking over your body. “Absolutely perfect, darling.”
He pulled your chin towards him, pressing a kiss to the side of your neck. His fingers began to pick up where they left off with fervor. He was like a man possessed- however, with what you were clueless. Your hands instinctively found their place in his white hair, tugging at the soft strands. His kiss against your pulse-point soon turned into variations of sucking, licking, and gently biting.
Your moans were angelic in his ears, every stuttered prayer of his name stirring his painfully hard cock even more alive. “Please, Astarion, I need more,” you whined out. You could feel your walls clenching down- hard- around nothing. You needed more of him. You needed him inside of you.
He pulled away from your neck, watching your expression through heavy lidded eyes. Astarion sat back, carefully unlacing his pants. The absence of his fingers made you wince as the cold breeze came into contact with your cunt. It wasn’t long before he had his cock free from the confines of his pants. He gave himself a few careful pumps, coating his cock with your slick.
In a slow, predatory way, he made his way to kneeling between your legs. Using both hands, he hooked your legs over his shoulders. After this, his arm resumed its place to the left of your head, the other playfully gliding his cock up and down your slit. “Then more you shall have,” he muttered before plunging his length deep into your core.
The position allowed him to bury himself deeper than he would be able to normally. He reveled in your expressions. He loved the way your eyes rolled back into your head, the way your mouth contorted into a pleasured ‘o’. He loved it when you’d catch your bearings and look back at him- catching him staring with a sly smile.
You were certain that you loved him, too. In a moment of your own realization, you pulled his head down to your own, capturing his lips in a slow and sweet kiss. He slowly pulled out before snapping his hips against your own. A choked moan slipped it's way past your lips.
As time went on, the kiss grew more feverish. It became sloppy- gnashing tongues, dripping in saliva. Lips half connected as you caught your respective breaths. During this time, his pace increased as well. It became relentless, the way you felt his cock drag deliciously through your walls. Astarion seemed to know just the way to fuck you- to make you feel lust on an ethereal level. It wasn’t long before you were both reaching your respective climaxes.
Astarion’s hips began to stutter, his pace faltering. You knew he was nearing his end. “Where?” He inquired breathlessly.
“Inside,” You responded in a heartbeat. Astarion groaned- a deep groan you felt reverberate from the back of his throat. It took him removing his cock and plunging it back inside one final time before that delicate tightrope of your pleasure snapped. You pulled Astarion close- as close as he humanly could have been. Your chests heaved together as you felt his seed paint your walls. You shuddered as your orgasm subsided, gently nudging Astarion up.
He held himself up on his forearms above you, your eyes meeting his sated expression. Your hands remained on the sides of his jaw. “Absolutely delicious,” he whispered sweetly to you.
Later that night as you slept cozily beneath the furs in his tent, he found himself unable to sleep. As he watched your sleeping form, nestled into his side, the same twinge from earlier began to pluck at his heart. He was certain that at some point- sooner rather than later- he would have to confess how he felt.
Little did he know, you felt the exact same way.
