Fantasy BDSM?

"My fault again," he said, hanging his head. "Does Keth help any?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"Quite a bit," Al'ika said, bringing his head up. "It's not your fault." She kissed him gently. "Get some more rest, and don't beat yourself up, okay?"

 

[bindingeagle]

"If they can come up with a potion for that, I'd be in business," he said. "Have a good night, you two."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Thank you," Al'ika said. She walked out and joined up with Keth.

 

[bindingeagle]

Keth stood outside and thought for a while. When Al'ika came out, he said, "He seem different, better."

 

[celestialdragon]

"He is. A lot better." She sighed. "It'll be a while before anyone trusts him again, though. That's understandable, but he's already wanting to go out and make up for what he's done."

 

[bindingeagle]

"We take him to free town?" he asked.

 

[celestialdragon]

"When he's in fighting shape. Right now he's in such bad shape, I doubt he knows the blade from the handle on his rapier." Al'ika opened the door to their house and stepped in. "Do you want me to put some tea on?" she asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Sure," he said, steeping some herbs in the teapot and putting it on the fire.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika hung up her cloak and sat down in her rocking chair. She picked up the sewing she was doing, humming quietly.

 

[bindingeagle]

Keth served the tea and lit his pipe again, taking small sips in between puffs.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika sipped her tea and sewed, rocking gently in her chair.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Another cuddle night?" he asked as he finished smoking.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Yeah," Al'ika said. She folded her sewing neatly and washed out her teacup before changing into her shift. "Haven't been sleeping well, it seems."

 

[bindingeagle]

"Keth will be right here," he said, climbing into bed and holding up the covers.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika gave a soft smile as she climbed into bed. "She knows," she told Keth, snuggling up against him.

 

[bindingeagle]

Keth wrapped his arms around her tightly until she drifted off. He felt her go quicker this time and smiled, feeling that progress was being made.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika did fall asleep quicker, and it took longer for her dreams to haunt her.

She woke up in the middle of the night, covered in sweat, whimpering softly, trying not to wake Keth.

 

[bindingeagle]

Keth didn't want her to know she'd woken him up so he just kept holding her firmly until she fell back to sleep.

 

[celestialdragon]

It took a bit longer, but soon, she fell back into a dreamless sleep.

 

[bindingeagle]

Keth awoke the next morning ready to go. He wasn't going to say anything about Al'ika waking up.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika woke up slowly. Sitting up in bed, she stretched and yawned. She felt REALLY tired this morning. She padded over to the kitchen and began making breakfast.

 

[bindingeagle]

Keth sat up soon after and said, "Sleep well?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika shook her head. "No. It was a bad night."

 

[bindingeagle]

Keth began to set the table. "Keth help you sleep?"
