"I'm good," she told Cassian with a wide smile. "And I do drink! Wine... sometimes," she admitted, with a laugh. "Dante is a good dance partner. He's much better than me- but I think I got a little better. Right, Dante?" Aela turned to the man, who laughed and said she had improved marginally.
"Anyway, what is strip poker?" She stumbled slightly when she turned back to Cassian, catching herself on his shoulder. "Whoops. Did you know you smell nice?" She asked Cassian, leaning forward to sniff his curls. "Did you use my shampoo?" Okay, maybe she was drunk. But she was having a great time!

Oh yeah, she definitely had a bit too much to drink. Cassian took the beer from her hand as she stumbled forward. He caught her, his arm immediately around Aela's waist to stabilise her. "Okay, you're definitely slowing down on the drinks," he frowned, "I think you've had enough for the night." He then gave Carina another glare. "–and no strip poker."
Dante laughed as Carina pouted. "Spoil sport," she retorted, "I thought you'd be the first one to play. What was that about not backing down?"
Cassian just ignored her, as Linus came over. "You know, you can just take her back if you want," the other boy chuckled, "she looks like she's ready to pass out. Don't worry, we got this, we can see you tomorrow for lunch right? We're only leaving the afternoon anyways."
"Yeah," he glanced over to Aela. It was probably a good idea to get her back to their room anyway. She was sniffing his hair. Oh she was going to hear about this tomorrow, he thought with a smirk. He looked towards the boys, and they gave him a wave, gesturing that he was free to go whenever he wanted.
"Okay I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow? Don't get too drunk without me," he chuckled, as his arm tightened around Aela's waist, "come on, let's get you to bed. You're going to regret this tomorrow, I'm sure."

"Okayyyy," Aela said reluctantly, raising a hand to wave goodbye to all her new friends. "See you all tomorrow!" There was a chorus of goodbyes as Cassian and Aela left the grand hall, heading back to their room. Content and still quite energetic, Aela leaned into Cassian's shoulder as they walked, enjoying the feeling of his arm around her waist.
They passed Ezra on guard duty towards the front of castle, and Aela noted that he was watching them quite closely. Was he jealous that she was with Cassian? "Hi Ezra!" She called, waving a hand at him as they passed. "That's Ezra," she added, quite unnecessarily, to her husband as they passed the guard and approached their room. "He's been here for years."
They entered the room, and Aela immediately swooped on Olive, picking her up and kissing her furry little face. "Don't you want to go back to your friends?" Aela asked, turning back to Cassian. "I don't want to ruin your night with my stuffy self."

He snorted, leading Aela away as she waved, and Cassian led her away. She wasn't drunk enough to be stumbling or anything yet, but still, he wanted to be careful lest she tripped on a rock or something. He was so focused in trying to make sure she got back to the room in one piece, he barely noticed Ezra until Aela started to wave towards him.
Cassian's eyes met the guard's, and he almost laughed. "Yeah, I know who he is," he replied slyly. Normally, he'd never admit it to Aela, but he was feeling a bit tipsy too. Not as bad as his wife, but well, his filter certainly wasn't there anymore, "we're very well acquainted with each other, let's just say." He knew that Aela had probably already heard the rumours, and well, they both said it was okay to keep the marriage open, after all. She probably already knew; was that why she was pointing it out? Well at least drunk Aela had a sense of humour, he thought, giving Ezra a wave.
As the entered the room, Aela was already hugging the cat. She was definitely more of a happy drunk, he thought as he sat on the bed. "I think I'm fine," he laughed lightly, "we can have breakfast with them tomorrow anyway." It was true, Cassian had missed his friends and obviously, any moment with them was precious these days, but hopefully, they'd visit more too, right? Not to mention, if this was the first time Aela was drunk, he didn't trust her to do it alone.
"Come on, let's get you dressed for bed," he offered, a light laugh on his lips, a relaxed amusement in his expression, "Olive will still be here afterwards, you know."

As oblivious as Aela was, she did not catch the reference. It was good that Cassian was making friends- Ezra had been a very good friend to her as of late.
"Are you offering to undress me, my lord?" Aela asked with a teasing grin, setting Olive down and moving to sit beside Cassian. "If you are, you can grab my nightgown from the wardrobe." She slipped the shoulder strap of her dress down, wiggling her eyebrows and giggling at her faux attempt to be sexy.

Cassian was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking up at Aela with a smirk on his face. "Oh yeah?" he chuckled, licking his lower lip as he pulled Aela onto his lap, his hands moving to unzip the dress she was wearing. He wasn't sure whether it was the alcohol or just this moment that was making his stomach feel just a little warmer, his movements just a little bolder.
"Seems like you don't really need my help," he teased, "maybe I'll just let you handle this yourself. You know, I'm starting to regret having Carina teach you what strip poker is."

This must be a game of chicken again. Well, he would not get the best of her this time- two could play at this game. "I could barely get out of this dress sober," she said, leaning in as she straddled him. "I definitely need your help getting out of it."
Would he take the bait? Aela didn't really expect him to back down, but she didn't know how far he'd actually take the game. Still, even if this was a game, the warmth of his hands on her back was pleasant, sending shivers along her spine.

He was grinning now. Drunk Aela certainly was a bit more bold. Was it the alcohol or did he actually prefer this version of her? His hands tightened on her hips, as his hands slid under the dress she was wearing, dragging it up her thighs, helping her peel it off.
"You know, maybe you should wear this dress the next time you go to a diplomatic meeting," he teased, "I'm sure they'll be a lot nicer to you when they see all the gifts you're bringing." While Cassian had always preferred his own gender, he could still admire the beauty in the female form.
"Lift your arms," he spoke, as he slid the rest of the dress off of Aela, his eyes gleaming. As much as he didn't expect it, he could certainly feel the heat of arousal flaring up.

Normally Aela would have covered herself if she had been in just her underwear around Cassian, but the alcohol and his apparent interest emboldened her. Once the dress was off entirely, she grinned at her husband, shifting on his lap and noting the hardening of something beneath her thigh.
"Is that what you're admiring?" She whispered in his ear, taking one of his hands and moving it to her breast, soft and round under her lacy black bra. "The gifts I'm bringing?" This certainly was a change from the... issues he'd had the first time they'd hooked up.
But then again, everything was different. Back then she'd been timid and quiet, and now she was quite literally straddling him, running her fingers through his hair and drawing her body closer to his, testing him to see how far he'd take this before blowing another raspberry at her.

"Mm, maybe," he hummed, slipping his hand underneath the lacy material, as his eyes met Aela's once more. "Who are you and what did you do to the shy little girl in my bed from weeks ago?" he teased, pulling her closer, "you know, I think I remember it was you saying that you don't like me teasing you...hmm...I wonder what changed."
Cassian's lips found purchase on her shoulder as his hands moved to unclasp her bra. He gave Aela's collarbone a nip, before looking up to her face. "Is this just the alcohol in your system or is this really you?" he laughed, "I think I like this bolder Aela, at least more than the angry one."

"I like when you tease me- but I hate when you don't follow through," she said, skin flushing under his touch, letting her bra drop to the floor. "And it's not like I don't think thoughts like this- but it takes a little liquid courage to get it flowing." She leaned down, letting her lips brush his ear. "Now stop talking."
He really was taking this game to the end, but Aela's mind was no longer focused on playing a game. Her hands were reaching to pull off his shirt, then knotting in his hair as she kissed the side of his neck, the skin of his chest, the eager lips that parted to meet hers.
Cassian's hands wandered freely, brushing fingertips along her waist and hips, squeezing the curves of her breasts and ass, pulling her closer. Her own touch explored as well, dropping to the hardness she had felt beneath her. Her breath came in shorter gasps as he kissed the side of her neck. After a moment, she shook herself out of her stupor, pulling away to look at him. "You're sure you're okay with this?" She asked, worrying she was forcing him into something he wasn't ready for.

"You know, I think I kind of prefer when you're a little bit bossy when you're not telling me to go to meetings," he grinned. He was already helping her remove the shirt, yanking it off his with fervor, as he pressed a kiss to her sternum, his hands sliding up to her ribs. The young king sucked up a breath when Aela began to mirror his movements, and despite his usual inclination, he knew that tonight would be a far cry from their wedding night. There was no awkwardness here, just a burning passion that started deep in his stomach, growing into a pleasant warmth throughout the rest of his body.
The light breeze felt cold on his body, but it was refreshing really. He didn't respond to Aela's question, simply tugging at her underwear, leaning back and pulling her down with him, a laugh light on his lips as he reversed their position, quickly disposing of the rest of his clothing all the same.
"Tell me what you want," his voice was low, resting his weight on one side as his arm rested lazily on Aela's stomach, peppering her with kisses and love bites, "your...wish is my command, your majesty."
He knew those words were the same he had used, that night weeks ago, but this time, it sounded different. Not so forced, and not so angry at the world. For once, the alcohol had burnt up the hard edge to his voice. Was this just the alcohol, or was this Cassian, under all his thorns and walls? It was difficult to tell.

Aela raised a hand to touch his cheek, leaning in to kiss him. Her body responded so completely and immediately to his touch, her back arching slightly when he drew lazy fingers across her stomach. What did she want? For this to last, really. But at the moment...
"I want to try... what was it? A blowjob." She laughed as she propped herself up her elbow, faint embarrassment mingling with the desire in her golden eyes. "But you can't tease me about my lack of skill."

Cassian ran a hand through his hair, his own pupils dilating. "I should've never introduced you to my friends," he groaned, "they've truly corrupted you." He couldn't help the way his face flushed at her words, and he let out a quiet laugh. It was kind of weird to admit that he probably had more experience in this than she did.
He propped himself up on the pillows, pondering for a moment. "Okay," he replied, "but first things first, no teeth. I really don't want to have to explain to the medics if you bite my dick off by accident. I'm not sure if you want me to give you tips or if you want to figure this out on your own."

Aela grinned widely, shifting down so she was beside his hips. "Are you complaining about a blowjob? Let me start, and if I don't improve at all you can give me some tips."
For the first time, she stopped to actually examine the male appendage in front of her, letting her eyes scan over it. That thing had been inside of her? It was strange to think about. With a laugh, she leaned down, taking him cautiously into her mouth.
It was then that she realized that she did not know what 'sucking a dick' meant. Was it just... holding it there and sucking? She tried that, and when Cassian laughed she slapped his chest. "No laughing!" When he had calmed down, he told her she should try going up and down.
The reaction he had when she started doing it correctly made her grin. Slowly but steadily she found a rhythm, pulling away after a while. "Was that right? Well, after the first part."

Cassian couldn't help it. She was just so...innocent. Of course the rest of the nobles were well known for their debauchery, and it shouldn't have been any surprise that their kids would all be the same, but Aela. Oh sweet Aela, she was just so...cute? Was that the right word? Cassian couldn't help it. It felt really weird, giving her tips on how to do it, but hey, who knew his own dick better than he did, right?
It didn't take long for her to get the hang of it, and soon, he could feel the pressure build up. Spirits, he wasn't going to last, and his breathing became laboured, his hands digging into Aela's hair. He was just about to tell her to speed up a little bit, when she completely stopped, looking up to ask if she was doing all right.
Yep, whatever gods were out there, they were definitely trying to make his life miserable. He gave her a tight smile. "Yes," his voice was rough, a sort of primal energy in there, "just...keep going."

Aela nodded, immediately resuming where she had left off, feeling the grip he had on the back of her head tighten. There was the same change in urgency she'd noticed the few times they'd had sex, and Aela blinked in confusion. Wait... was he going to-
There was a burst of warmth in her mouth, a groan coming from Cassian's mouth as he let his head drop back. Aela sat up, feeling the salt and heat on her tongue. She couldn't exactly spit it out, so she swallowed, nose wrinkling at the taste.
"Is that it?" She asked, wondering if their night was over so soon. Her body still burned with unfulfilled desire, but she did notice that Cassian's dick was still quite solid, despite the bitter aftertaste on her tongue.

Knowing this was the first time she had tried something like this, Cassian had planned on telling her when he was close and just finishing off on his own. Except well...his brain was approximately seven seconds behind the rest of himself, and by the time he noticed, it was too late. A groan left his mouth and his hands tightened in her hair, the tension releasing from his shoulders as he came.
"Shit," his voice was hoarse, "sorry, I–" He at least had the decency to look a little embarrassed, as his eyes met hers, and she swallowed.
Gods, he thought, as a new flare of arousal stirred to life, even stronger than before. "You didn't have to swallow it," he spoke, but it was clear that the possessive gleam in his eyes were back. Sitting up, he pulled her in once more, this time laying her onto the bed.
"Let me help you," he breathed, as his hands palming her breast, "did you end up trying what we talked about last time?" A quiet chuckle left his mouth as he gently took her hand with his, trailing it down her body and down between her thighs.

"I didn't mind. It just... caught me off guard," she said, laughing it off and wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. The possessive look in his eyes sent a thrill to the wetness between her legs, and her toes curled as he laid her down and brought both of their hands to same space.
She had touched herself since the last time they'd had sex, after Ezra's fingers had given her some idea of where to start. Aela had not been able to bring herself to release like her other lover had, but she still had a better idea of what felt good. "I did try it out," she said, drawing her lips across his shoulder reverently. Her hand moved to guide his this time, placing it on- what had he called it- her clit, and moving it in gentle circles.
Once he had gotten the hang of it, she leaned back, eyes closing as the waves of pleasure washed over her, spurred on by the warmth of his breath on her neck and his other hand resting on the curve of her hip. It didn't take long for the tension to build, and her hand gripped his forearm as she came, chest arching and breath hitching with her soft moans.
In the blissful mindlessness that overtook her in the aftermath, she relaxed into the pillow, eyes fluttering open. Cassian had shifted closer, and she lifted a hand, trailing it along his chest. When he asked if she'd enjoyed herself she giggled, pulling him in for a long kiss. "I did," she assured him, eyes still alight with desire when she pulled back. "But I'm also hoping that we're not done yet- if you can keep going, that is." Even in the middle of foreplay she couldn't help but tease him, a grin flashing across her features.

He laughed, as he continued to kiss her neck. Her hands guided his to where it needed to be, and despite his own inexperience in this department, she seemed to have gotten a better idea of what she needed since the last time they had even initiated this kind of contact. Perhaps a sober Cassian would've been surprised at himself like this, but he didn't hate it. It was different from the first few weeks of their marriage, when he could barely even look into Aela's eyes without feeling the resentment well up within him.
Perhaps, he thought in the fond haze of his mind, perhaps Dante was right. It really wasn't so bad. He'd never admit it out loud, but as tedious as paperwork and negotiations were, he no longer really had a shadow looming over him. His father was still around, constantly telling him what to do, but letters were letters and Aela never struck that chord of fear as much as his family did. Even Carina...well, he couldn't say much about his sister. She had always been chaotic, doing whatever she pleased. He knew she coordinated this, but in his own way, he wondered for once, if it was because she truly wanted to embarrass him, or if it was just her own way of being a sister. Annoying and showing their care through...well, unconventional methods, he supposed.
Still, he had a target to accomplish, and as Aela's breathing became more laboured, his fingers rubbed against her button a little more roughly, the smirk on his face nearly feral, seeking her pleasure as if it was the prey he wanted the most. As she gasped and stuttered, his lips roughly found hers. The primal need was still there.
"Don't worry," he teased back, as his hands left the crux of her legs to stroke his own length, guiding it to her entrance and slowly pushing into her, "still got a lot left in me."
