AN: More DN, I can't help myself… However, this one will be a bit more… risqué? So minors, please keep an extra window up to pop over to when your parents enter the room… haha that's what I always did. But really it won't be over the top, just a bemused awkward lemon to sip on. I may make a small series out of these… haven't decided yet.

Set immediately after ROTG

And this is a drabble, if you're wondering about the length.

Enjoy

An Unintentional Lesson

Air whistled through her feathers delightfully as she soared over fields. Her chickadee body darted through the sky on her way to see Numair. They had only recently returned from the realms of the gods. Knowing her friend needed some rest she had left him to his own devices since returning. And there was plenty to keep her busy with anyway. Many of the horses needed care and the King demanded endless reports.

However, the memory of their first kissed fluttered into her mind. She was glad for her feathery exterior, or she would have been a flying cherry. Although they hadn't become lovers in the physical sense, they had both made their feeling clear. The thought of taking that step sent Goosebumps over her body.

In such a basic, but natural action so much would change. The fear of trapping him hung darkly over her mind. However, she shook those thoughts from her mind as she darted towards his tower, wondering if he sensed her. However, she quickly realized something was off. There was a thick feeling to the air as she got closer.

"Privacy spells." She thought ruefully to herself. He had done this to her once before, although unintentionally. The spell he preferred kept anyone from entering… including from the window. He had been lucky she hadn't killed herself. This time she knew better. Instead of making a dive for the window she perched herself on a branch that ran parallel to his window. Just a few inches away she peered in ready to give him an earful. However, what greeted her keen vision was unexpected.

"Goddess." Daine thought with utter shock. Her friend was lying on top of his bed sheets. But what took her by surprise was his state of undress. His head was thrown back, eyes closed tightly as his right hand held onto his member. Too dumbstruck to look away, Daine watched as he slowly pumped his erection.

"He'll see me! It isn't right to peep!" Daine thought trying to get herself to turn away. However, he made no indication he was aware of her presence. Her ears picked up a small moan and she realized she was glued in place. Ashamed, she let her eyes roam over his body. It was the first time she had ever really looked at a man's body, let alone an aroused one.

Sure she had seen him naked…. That one time when she thought he was a bird. But this had somehow enchanted her in a way she didn't understand. Unable to stop herself she gazed hungrily at his manhood as he pleasured himself. Even his large hand could not fully encase the proud length.

She found herself becoming increasingly aroused watching him. His swarthy skin seemed to glow with a sheen of sweat. His moans were increasing with frequency, even his back began to arch. Knowing things were coming to some sort of crescendo her eyes remained riveted on him.

"Daine…" His moan took her off guard as his body shuttered in release. However, she was terrified he caught her. She studied his face, but found his eyes were closed and his breathing was returning to normal.

"Too close!" Daine thought with utter embarrassment and quickly flapped off. Feeling guilty for destroying his privacy and trust, she raced for her room. However, the way her name fell from his mouth was bound to be in her dreams tonight.

So what did you think?

Numair has inadvertently seen her naked so many times… It was her turn damnit!

Anyway, I like these ideas. Lemons without sex, just frustration!

Somehow these are so much sweeter.

Also, was it too much? I didn't think it was bad, I've seen worse on IFC during prime time hours.

::Shrugs:: I guess I just don't understand a culture that has no problem with grisly torture flicks like hostel and saw. However, if you have two people making love, OMG were all going to hell! (So what if Numair was only making love to himself…)

All right… I'm done… posting now…
