Summer. This was the epitome of it. The sun was bright and high in the sky which was itself a vibrant aquamarine without one cloud to mar it. The temperature was just budging thirty degrees, a rarity in Britain but when it happened, everyone was out in it. It would have been perfect beach weather but Camelot manor was far from the sea. Nonetheless it didn't stop a certain Pendragon junior from enjoying the balmy weather.

Done with his chores for the day, Arthur had found a sun lounger in one of the garden 'sheds', well, Arthur called it a shed but Merlin was sure it was another house, albeit an untidy one. He had dragged the garden furniture out and gave it a quick clean down and set it up right in the middle of the lawn. He had read some of his book earlier but was now simply letting himself cook in the peaceful silence that surrounded the house. It was unusual for such quiet, Merlin having taken Draco out for a walk and had yet to return. Arthur wondered if they had gone on an adventure together and, knowing Merlin, had gotten lost. He wasn't worried though, he knew they'd turn up sometime. If they didn't he'd get the car out, call up all the staff and go on a huge man hunt. It would probably be an over the top affair but Arthur would do anything for Merlin. Then he would probably shout at him, call him an idiot, smack him round the head and take him home, then once out of everyone's sight, kiss him to death, tell him how worried he was and make up for lost time with a lot of hot, sticky sex, probably in the kitchen. With that idea running around his head, Arthur dozed off.

Merlin finally returned sometime later. He hadn't got lost, just carried away. Lots of little things got him interested, flowers, old trees, local people, and before he realised it, he'd been gone for hours. By the time he'd returned to the manor, he was hot and sweaty and desperately looking for something to drink. Draco had pretty much given up at the door, suddenly finding cool stone floor and shade, he pretty much collapsed and didn't move, panting heavily. Merlin smiled and shook his head; he knew the dog would find water once he'd cooled off enough to move.

"Arthur?" Merlin shouted in the large hallway, hearing his voice echo as if he was in a cave. He paused for a moment but heard nothing in response. His fiancé wasn't in the near vicinity. He shrugged his shoulder and went to make a step forward, double checked his direction then tried again. One day he'd get used to this place, maybe. He pushed a door open and was relieved to find it was indeed into the kitchen. He could see Arthur wasn't there either but helped himself to a squash. Draining the glass in one go, Merlin decided he needed something else to help cool him down. Looking around he tried to spot something but failed. He did notice Draco's bowl and quickly filled that up for when the dog came to look for it. His next attempt was the fridge. Opening the door wide, he sighed happily as the cool air washed over him. He wouldn't have complained about having nice weather for once but it was a bit too hot for his tastes. His eyes roved over the shelves contents but nothing magically revealed itself to him. He shut the door sadly and tried the freezer next. He pulled out each drawer and gazed hopefully at the contents. It wasn't until he reached the bottom drawer did he hit gold.

Ice pops. Merlin silently thanked his cousin and his mother and pulled out one frozen stick. He briefly held it to his forehead and sighed happily. He then found a pair of scissors and snipped the top off. He put the ice pop in his mouth and wandered over to the patio doors. He looked out at the impressive gardens and his blue eyes fell upon the prone figure stretched out on the sun lounger. Merlin's smile grew as he opened the door and stepped outside. He left the door open in case Draco wanted to find shade outside somewhere and strolled down the garden. Merlin stood silently gazing down at the golden Adonis that was far more attractive than anything else the garden held. Blue eyes scanned the broad shoulders, down the sloping back to strong hips and what Merlin knew was hidden in those shorts. So much for cooling down, he thought to himself. He could have simply stood there gazing at Arthur for hours on end but it wasn't meant to be. A large cold drip released its hold aided by gravity to splash against Arthur's back; it was enough to make the blonde gasp. He turned on his side and looked up at Merlin, shading his eyes with his hand.

"Merlin?" The brunette looked down guiltily,

"Sorry I didn't mean for that to happen." He perched himself on the edge of the lounger and held the ice pop to his forehead once more and sighed deeply.

"That good?" Arthur asked casually.

"Uh huh." Merlin replied then glanced over at his lover who had now sat up with a leg either side of the lounger, Merlin couldn't help but let his eyes roam once more.

"Care to share?" Merlin looked at his ice pop then back at Arthur before turning and kneeling on the lounger. He leaned forward and slowly swiped the frozen stick across the blonde's forehead. Arthur closed his eyes and moaned happily. "That is good." Merlin smiled then put the pop to his lips. Arthur watched eyes half closed, as perfectly pouting lips encircled the fruity ice and broke a chunk off. The blonde barely had time to register that Merlin leaned towards him, piece of pop caught between his lips. Arthur met him halfway, sucking and licking at the ice, intentionally teasing Merlin before fully encircling it with his own mouth as they shared a kiss.

Pulling away, Merlin took another bit and leaned forward, Arthur expecting another kiss was surprised when it wasn't his mouth Merlin sought. Arthur gasped as he felt the ice teasing at a nipple. Looking down, he watched fascinated as Merlin teased at the sensitive nub with the melting ice pop in his mouth, letting it trickle down Arthur's stomach, before licking up the damp trail left behind. Arthur groaned heavily, letting his body relax under Merlin's ministrations. Merlin smiled to himself. It appeared they both had a bit of an ice kink; it made him wonder why they had never done this before. Biting off a new piece, he trailed it from Arthur's chest down to his belly button and let it drip there for a moment. Merlin tried not to laugh as it made Arthur squirm, but he was happy that his fiancé was far from objecting. In fact, quite the opposite, the blonde had relaxed back against the lounger, his eyes closed; giving the impression of calm although Merlin could see his breathing was far from relaxed.

Continuing his trail down wards, Merlin followed the line of hair to the top of Arthur's shorts and let the ice treat melt along the waistband before licking it clean and pulled a whimper from Arthur. Strong hips shifted subtly, but enough for Merlin to notice. Without further ado, Merlin pulled on the shorts to bring them down far enough to free Arthur's very hard manhood. Looking up briefly, Merlin was met with half shut, dilated blue eyes; he simply smiled and continued on. He took another chunk of the ice pop, which was rapidly melting now and once again held it between his teeth. It melted quickly and dripped on to Arthur's waiting cock. The blonde hissed loudly but didn't object especially when Merlin's wicked tongue lapped up the drips. Taking the last bit of the ice pop, Merlin let it start to melt in his mouth before taking Arthur's cock in whole.

"Fucking bloody hell." Arthur yelled loudly, but it was more from shock than anything else. Merlin's talented mouth was more than enough to keep his cock hard and it allowed him to enjoy the unusual combination of hot mouth and cold ice. "Merlin..." He groaned as Merlin took him in deeply, his fingers grabbing dark hair almost too tightly. Merlin was happy to concentrate on what was in front of him. He should have known Arthur would be more tempting than an ice pop, just a pity the blonde made him hot rather than cool down. It was the prat's fault for being too sexy. He continued to lick and suck on the firm flesh in front of him until he had Arthur making incoherent noises, unable to even form Merlin's name and barely able to breathe. He had Arthur's hips pinned down so the blonde couldn't thrust upwards although Merlin could feel the strain of the movement anyway. The slim man knew exactly how to bring Arthur to the brink and hold him there, hearing Arthur practically wailing for the release he sought. Merlin loved seeing him like this. It was so rare that they could completely let go, for fear of disturbing neighbours or such like. To see Arthur completely lose himself under his ministrations had Merlin so hard he was sure he would come himself.

Finally Merlin let Arthur have what he wanted. Taking the blonde's straining cock deep into his mouth he sucked hard and felt Arthur shudder underneath him. Arthur's cry of release tore from his throat as his upper body arched up from the lounger, before slumping back breathless and limp. Arthur let Merlin go from his death grip on his hair as Merlin gently slid his mouth away.

"I never know how you do that to me." He managed gasping for air. Merlin smiled smugly.

"Magic." He replied simply.

"There you are." Merlin shot up from the lounger in surprise to find Morgana approaching. In a panic, he climbed off of Arthur and walked towards her.

"Shit, Morgana." He warned the blonde and from some hidden reserve, Arthur managed to find the strength to pull his shorts up before getting unsteadily to his feet. Morgana looked between the two men noticing, how happy Merlin looked and how flushed Arthur was.

"I'm not disturbing anything am I?" She asked uncertainly.

"Not at all," Merlin grinned knowing they had got away with it. "In fact, your timing was perfect."

"You look happy Merlin, like the cat that got the cream." The beautiful woman told him. Arthur nearly died choking to death.

"Hmm, do I?" Merlin replied simply. "Well, if you need me, I'm going for a shower. I need a little cooling off." With that he wandered back to the house and Arthur didn't fail to notice the slight sway of his hips. He'd get him back later, when he could pin those hips down then he turned back to Morgana.

"So, are you ready for the chaos?" Arthur asked his sister uncertainly,

"But of course, that's why I'm here. Don't worry Arthur dear, everything will go to plan. I'll make sure of it." Draco made an appearance from the kitchen, walking dozily across the lawn to the shade of the trees than collapsed again. It was too warm for the dog and he was happy to simply sleep through it. Arthur could sympathise with the poor animal, right now all he wanted to was crash out, but now Morgana was here, that would be impossible. From now on, nothing was going to be relaxing.
