I'm so so so so sorry this took so long, but as I said, I've never written anything like this before so I kept putting it off. But, as promised, here is your happy *smutty* ending * I have never been more embarrassed in my entire life and I can tell you that for a fact.

I'm going to pour a bucket of ice over my head.

Chapter Seven

Merlin pressed his lips against Arthur's whist running his hand lightly down the Prince's chest, tracing a snake like pattern over the grooves of his muscled stomach.

Arthur emitted a small groan of pleasure as Merlin's fingers found the top of his breeches, sliding inside easily. "Merlin!" Arthur grabbed his manservant's wrist and held it still, not allowing the hand to venture any further. "Are you sure about this?"

Merlin nodded quickly and struggled to move his hand, but Arthur kept it restrained, holding it against his stomach. "Merlin." The raven-haired youth nodded enthusiastically in response to his name, focusing on his hand, trying to tease his fingers back to the warmth in Arthur's breeches. "I don't want you to do this if you're not sure."

Merlin rolled his eyes and looked up at the Prince. "You're kidding right?" Arthur shook his head. "Does it look like I'm not sure?" He wriggled his hand in Arthur's more lax grasp and stroked the skin he could reach, smiling at the groan he got from the blond.

Arthur let go of Merlin's wrist and placed his hand under his manservant's chin. "No." He brushed a stray hair off Merlin's forehead and leant forward, kissing Merlin tenderly on his nose.

Merlin rolled his eyes and grabbed the back of Arthur's head, smashing their mouths together with bruising force, he was fed up of skating around the tension; Arthur forgot his previous worries and kissed back with fervour, relishing the moan Merlin released from the back of his throat as he probed his tongue into his mouth.

Without a hand restricting him, Merlin ran his hand back to Arthur's breeches, pulling them down until Arthur's cock stood up vertically with nothing restraining it.

Arthur let out a gasp as Merlin's hand encased his length, running his thumb from the bottom to the top and back again slowly, knowing the leisurely movements would make Arthur mad.

"Merlin-"

"If you stop me again-" Arthur shook his head and kissed the hollow of his manservant's throat, just above the opening of his tunic.

"I just don't like that you think you're in charge here." Merlin's eyebrows shot up to meet his hairline as he squeezed Arthur's erection, causing Arthur to gasp.

"I am in charge here." He began moving his hand faster, watching as Arthur's eyelids fluttered closed, and his head tilted back exposing his neck. Merlin didn't even stop to think before he was kissing and biting at Arthur's neck, leaving little red marks over the delicate skin.

Arthur curled his hands into fists around the material of Merlin's shirt, the strength of his grasp almost pulling it apart at the seams as Merlin's hand moved faster, his erection growing until it was painful. He loved being the Prince and being in charge but if this is what it feels like to be controlled then he was okay with Merlin being in charge once in a while.

He gasped at a particularly sharp movement, his eyes flying open.

"Are you alright, sire?" Merlin's voice was husky and his pupils were wide with lust. Arthur shook his head and tore Merlin's hand away, flipping the both over so Arthur was leaning over him, his hands either side of his head. "Wha-?"

"Shh," Arthur leant forward, claiming Merlin's mouth with his own before pulling the brunettes tunic over his head. "Well that was a nice bit of role-reversal, but now I'm going to show you who is really in control." Merlin gulped and nodded, biting down on his lower lip.

Arthur lowered himself down until his face was level with Merlin's hips before pulling down his servant's breeches, eyes widening at the sight. He looked up at Merlin's smirking face. "You shouldn't assume I'm small just because I'm skinny." Arthur nodded once before looking back down at, what he now saw as, the task in front of him.

He leant forward and stuck out his tongue, experimentally licking the head. Merlin inhaled sharply in response, causing Arthur to smile. More confident now, he curled his lips around the tip and lowered his head slowly, teasingly as Merlin had done to him.

Merlin raised his hips off the bed, fingers curling into the sheets as Arthur stuck out his tongue on the journey back up, leaving a trail of cool over the burning skin. He could feel Arthur smile around him before taking him in deeper and faster.

"A-Arthur!" Merlin gasped, his body involuntarily jerking upwards with every movement, his fingers wove themselves into the prince's blonde hair as he felt himself reaching his climax.

Arthur kept moving his head up and down in time with Merlin's thrusts, trying to avoid grazing Merlin with his teeth.

"Arthur! I'm g-going to-" Arthur didn't need any more warning as he pulled back and pulled Merlin down until they were face to face, kissing fiercely. Merlin reached down the grab Arthur's throbbing erection and Arthur repaid the favour. Once strong flick of the wrist and they were both spent, sprawled across each other, breathing erratic.

"Merlin," Arthur lifted his head slightly to see the brunette lying next to him, his head relaxed into the pillow and his chest rising and falling at a ridiculous speed. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that for."

Merlin chuckled, "For all we know, we could have done just that two days ago."

Arthur frowned, before remembering the whole reason they were actually here now. "That is very true." He smiled at Merlin, who smiled back, eyes crinkled and cheeks still bright red.

"I... I lo..." Arthur wanted to say it, but he couldn't bring himself too, being a prince meant loving someone was infinitely difficult and letting someone know it was a weakness. Merlin just leant forward and placed a soft kiss on his nose.

"I love you too." Arthur grinned before pulling Merlin into his arms and letting his eyes flutter closed, deciding that loving Merlin might not be difficult at all.

Oh dear... I am so embarrassed!

Please review and tell me that it was okay and I don't need to hide in shame for the rest of my life!
