Right now I had a strange feeling that couldn´t be shaken off. My hands were trembling as I got dressed more properly ( I was only in my breeches) and with beating heart and dried up lips I went downstairs, heading to the main hall.

I was walking quietly, at first making sure that no one from servants was spying on me. At this hour, barely anyone was awake so I easily slipped into the hall unnoticed. I wanted some god damned privacy for once. No fucking interrupting, no reports, no missions... just for this day. I must make my intentions clear to Dorian. Now that I know my utmost honest feelings. A torch on a small stool dimly illuminated and cast shadows on the walls. It was not even morning, really. However, dawn was fast approaching. In the cold hallway I trembled from chilly air and hastily strutted to his private chambers. I´ve visited them several times, but they were empty most of time. But I knew he would be there right now. In front of his door I stopped.

I´ve heard how he strolled behind the wooden door. I took a deep breath so that I could gather all my courage and entered the room before I lost all my determination. I stood in his private chamber and looked for him. The room was poorly lit. In the fireplace a flame was started and on the marble of his bedside table were few candles. I finally recognized Dorian´s stature.

For a moment it seemed like I couldn´t breathe. Dorian was stripping off his garments and his hands were on the lem of his breeches, that lined out his long muscular legs on which he had his usual boots. His hair was wet ( what did he do?) and they sticked to his neck, his thick curls were falling on his forehead. His chest was bare, broad, sun –tanned and covered with subtle tuft of curly hair which were splayed on his flat stomach, where clearly muscles were visible for me to swoon over.

I inadvertendly licked my lips, my gaze fixed on his beautiful manly body. I realized that I was walking towards him and only then he looked up, saw me and froze. Vigilance was replaced with restlessness and his eyebrows wrinkled. "David? Did something happen again?!" He approached me with worries, with three long steps he was by me and he worriedly held my shoulders. "Is everything alright?"

I´ve licked my quivering lips again. "I had to come. I had to see you."

"David... amatus. Tell me what´s happened."

"Everything is alright. I don´t want us to separate. Not now or ever."

Dorian was silent for a long time. "I don´t undestand."

"I don´t fully understand it either. I only know that I don´t want you to keep distance from me. I want to be with you. Stay here with me. Don´t leave my side, Dorian."

His expression changed, hardened. "You know why I want to keep my distance from you for a while. You cannot be so naive."

I blushed a little, but I didn´t flinch with my gaze. "I know why. You´re trying to keep me away from yourself, you´re trying to protect me. You don´t want to hurt me."

In his grey orbs flashed anxiety; then it vanished. "I´m trying to stay rational here. Your arrival here in my private chambers is making me quite vulnerable. I won´t lie. I want you. If I stayed in your quarters longer, sooner or later I would have made you mine."

Would he really do that? Not if I didn´t give him my approval, which I did and he bolted. Now I´m not letting him escape. I knew I could trust him completely. "You want me so badly, Dorian?"

He gritted his teeth. On his face flashes something wild and primal. "You know the answer."

"Then make love to me. Now. Please."

I his eyes I saw awakening sparkles; then he slowly shook his head. "You don´t know what you´re saying."

I put my hands on his chest. "You´re wrong, Dorian. I know too damn well what I´m saying." It was true. From the moment I stormed off from my quarters and stepped into the main hall, I came to understand that I´m undertaking a huge risk and I also knew I had to take that risk. "When Samson had you in his grasp, I seriously thought that I would lose you. When he put that dagger to your neck, I was beginning to panic. And then I noticed that you played him all along. A huge rock fell off my chest. I was worried for you! Never before was I so worried for someone else? Don´t you see? All I´m meaning to say is that you´re too important for me. And then you said you want to keep your distance. Do you know how I felt? In the past, I wasn´t ready. Now I know I was ready all along. The chance of losing you for good made me realize that. So, I chose what both of us want." Dorian gazed at me as if he had someone else before him and look of his grey eyes was worried and piercing. "You cannot possibly mean that. It was you who suggested we take thing slowly. You´re tempting me more and more, David. I really want to keep my part of your request. Or do you want to call it off entirely?"

" Yes, that´s my intention. I mean it more than anything else in my life. Make love to me, Dorian... please." Long, uneasy seconds have passed by; then his body shook swiftly. He reached out and hugged me around my waist. His wet hair was dripping, but I didn´t mind. Somewhere in the middle of this long journey that was still far from over, suddenly everything solved itself. From that moment, I´ve decided to do what my heart dictates me to do. Regardless of consequences.

Dorian scanned my face with his intense gaze, he gazed into my eyes in a way as if he wanted to look into my soul. Then he leaned in and he kissed me with so much tenderness and fervent that I´ve never known a kiss, that said everything I wanted to hear from him. I´ve returned the kiss, with love I´ve just found inside me and Maker, it seemed so right and good. I´ve dropped tender small kisses around the corner of his mouth, his neck, bare arm. He was shuddering. Dorian´s breathing was rugged, he gently grasped my chin and made look at him. "David, are you sure about this?"

I´m completely sure. I love you. But those words were left unspoken. The mage wouldn´t know what to do with them – for now. "I am sure, Dorian."

I´ve embraced him around his neck, burried my fingers in his wet hair, pulled him closer and joined our lips and I´ve enjoyed his musky scent. Dorian kissed me fiercely, lusciously and passionatelly. It was as if he couldn´t get enough of me, his hot breath mixed with mine, our lips locked together in a romantic dance. I´ve arched my back and surprise enveloped me. Our bodies were so compatible; as if we were born for each other. I´ve never felt safer than in his arms.

Then the Tevinter mage picked me up (he´s so strong, picking up another man as if I weighted nothing) and put me on his bed where he removed my upper garment with precision.

I´ve become bright red from embarassment, but I didn´t try to cover myself up, the award was how his eyes sparkled with silver. He splayed my usual hairstyle and it fell on my shoulders. "You´re beautiful," he said in a quiet, hoarse voice. "Even more beautiful than I´ve imagined." His fingers traced my jaw, then nape, my shoulders, then even lower through the tip of my nipple. It was as if soft warmness was streaming through my body. Dorian slanted closer and he kissed me longingly and fervently, his fingers circling around my nipples. It was strange, new sensation, he was caressing one until I´ve felt ticklish pain. For a moment he picked himself up, blew out the candles on the table, then pulled his breeches and boots off and laid down on the bed back to me, a bit cold, the mage´s gray eyes dark and piercing.

"I know that I should send you away. If I wasn´t so obsessessed with you, I would do that." He brushed a stray strand of my face. "I´m not gonna let you go. I can´t. I´m longing for you extremely. Ever since our first meeting."

"Dorian." I held out my arms to him, took hold oh his strong chin in my palm. His eyes flashed with something. I´ve noticed a sharp spark full of painful longing; then his mouth fell on mine. The mage´s tongue penetrated inside, deep and possessive; and somewhere deep inside me began to accumulate sweet, hot heat. The kiss continued, wet and greedy and probing kiss in which my nipples stiffened and my heart was pounding like a bell. His mouth traveled around the neck and down the arm; then he grabbed nipple in his teeth. He pulled me into his mouth and my body was on fire. Just like I was struck with lighting. I groaned. Trembling, I blissfully let him do what he wanted. The mage was painfully experienced in this field. Or maybe he was a fast learner. Dorian caressssed my sides, and his hands roamed inside my breeches, where he touched me. I solidified. My knowledge about love –making had many gaps. I knew next to nothing, only what I´ve heard in the tavern when Bull and Sera talked about this stuff. Rather filthily, might I add. So right now, I wasn´t sure what I was supposed to do. "I won´t harm you, amatus," Dorian said quietly. "Do you trust me?" I gulped. "Yes, I do." A sigh escaped my lips as he kissed me again, I gave in to these delightful feelings and my tense body relaxed. I didn´t even notice when he slid down my breeches, so now we were both completely naked. From what I´ve heard from Bull (not that I wanted to hear, but his voice was too loud) that when two men do it, it´s more intimate than with a woman. I guess I´ll find out if that´s true or not soon enough.

Long dark finger gently examined the place where my thighs linked. He urged me to spread my legs, then slipped into my body. I felt a heat wave, spreading like a tide. Dorian began to fondle as moved in rhythm that matched his movements of tongue, and something deep inside me began spilling sweet and fiery pleasure. I held my breath as he penetrated deeper, to the slippery moisture inside me.

I shivered at the onslaught of feelings that flooded me, and a groan was all that Dorian needed as encouragement. Dorian kissed me gently. "Your body is ready for me, David. You are hot and humid, yearning, I will now join up with you. "

I licked my lips and Maker, I knew how much I was trembling. "What do I do? "

He gave me one of his rare, nice smiles and my heart was penitent bursting from love for him. "Just trust me. I'll do the rest. "

I´ve returned his smile, and before he sat between my legs, I noticed in his eyes a gleam of tenderness. I felt his hard sex which was slowly penetrating me, all the while looking at me for a reaction. I nodded so that he would continue. When our gazes met, I saw in his eyes a mixture of relief and something else, something more gentle and beautiful that my heart froze. "It'll only hurt for a moment," he said. "I'll try to be considerate of you."

I did not know that it will hurt, and unconsciously tightened around him. Then he started kissing again. He broke into her mouth, his tongue filled my heart with love for him, my mind thinking only of him. Then the mage plunged deeper.

Abruptly, with a deep breath Dorian lowered my moan with his kiss when he slid into me fully and filled my with his member. I clung to him, trembling, trying to get used to the new feeling. Dorian froze, lifted himself above my elbows, he was so heavily concentrated. "Did I hurt you?"

"No. You did not. It was not so bad."

The corners of his mouth curled in relief. Very slowly, very fervently he kissed me; then began to move. I was overpowered with a new feeling, which began to throb. I inhaled sharply. Hard tip of his member slowly penetrated into me, filled me and carried my body to small vibrations, spread heat inside of me, then in my blood it bursted into flames like wildfire.

I hung on his neck, dug my nails into the muscles of the shoulders, he lifted me with ease closer to him, penetrating harder, getting deeper, faster in the sense of rhythm, which absorbed my mind and body both.

My body tensed and tightened around his hard cock. My body arched in the bliss as we´ve reached out peak together.

"Dorian ..." I was tightly pressed against him, afraid to let go, convinced that if I did, I would lose him. I felt how his body stiffened, I felt inside like something was flowing, something hot and humid. Dorian groaned and fell into my arms. Did he just? I blushed at the thought and it was no surprise for me to find out that we were covered in my... my... you get the idea. Dorian reached out in his bedside table, opened the dresser and cleaned us. I didn´t speak or help him. Only watched him.

We´ve laid together, listening to the sounds of the beginning storm outside and the rhythmic beating of our own hearts.

It was good that I came to him. Nothing bad can raise such a wonderful feeling.

Dorian kissed me gently. He raised himself as he gazed on me (as I presumed, hard to tell due to darkness that enveloped his bedroom) and I was lost in his loving embrace. "I did not do you much pain, I hope?"

I smiled in the darkness. "I liked it."

I was sure I saw him grin. "Me too."

"So how was it? Just like you imagined it?"

"More. A thousand times more. "

We casually dropped into the pillows and I totally agreed with him. I thought Dorian would now be sleeping, but when I scooted closer to him and pressed him on the shoulder on his side, his hand resting loosely on his chest, I was feeling his breath. I scanned his ribs one by one, enjoying the feeling. Then, his hand caught mine.

"You´re playing with fire, Inquisitor."

His voice resonated with mischievous tone, something I had never heard in this particular tone of voice before, and that little progress has excited me. I shamelessly knocked fingertips on his nipple. "Really?"

Dorian grabbed my wrist, pulled it to his stomach and caused my fingers to grasp his entire lenght, which was again excited and vibrant.

"Maker´s breath."

I heard his laughter and the sound was like music to my ears.

"I warned you," he said, his voice a little rougher.

"That's true," I said, but I was quite reluctant to make the first move. I mean, we´ve just done it. And it was wonderful. It cannot be compared with anything I´ve felt before. I felt the same uneasiness as while ago when we made love. Now I know what this means and that I want to feel him inside. I moaned once more as with his knee he spread my legs apart and in one smooth motion he slipped in. "You should not have done that," he teased. "Now you´ll get burned." He lowered his head and began to kiss me.

I´ve returned the kisses, smiling. When I was little, I knew it was wise to be kept away from fire. Today, it does not matter that I´ll get burned.

AN - I have been reading a fanfic called A Horny Inquisitor written by hungrygames4, you know... for inspiration. My jaw literally dropped and when I collected it from the ground, I sat down and wrote this more... subtle version. I´ll be back with more. Reviews are welcome as always. I did re – read this thrice before uploading, but I cannot guarantee there will be no mistakes. Take it easy on me, I had a boring exam in uni, I almost slept in during it. Haha, has that happened to anyone? Nevermind, I am done rambling. Oh, and the title The Redeemer is Dorian´s carot name or something, go do your homework on Dragon Age Wiki if you did not know that. See ya in next chapter. Have to think up some... complications, yeah?
