"I love you," Laurent murmured in return, devastated with pleasure. "I will never love anyone else."

He smiled, relaxing and enjoying the afterglow, enjoying most of all the warm weight of Gansey above him, arms around his waist and head tucked against his neck, where the leather collar embraced his neck like a promise. "I love you."

"I'll never tire of hearing you say that."

Gansey rubbed his face against Laurent's back, not wanting to part just yet, even though the desk wasn't the most comfortable place to cuddle. It also wasn't the best position to kiss in, and he longed to kiss Laurent again. Over and over. Until his lips were red and raw.

So with a soft noise he pulled out of his lover, "Come with me." Heading to the bed, Gansey dropped down onto it, arms open and waiting for Laurent.

Laurent went with him, wobbling on unsteady legs. He curled gladly into Gansey's arms, craving Gansey's warmth and affection. "My Gansey," he murmured, nuzzling dazedly at him. He felt sticky and gross, but he wanted affection and reassurance first, so that he could bask in Gansey's love as he recovered.

Oh, they were so terribly sticky and gross. It would make him laugh if he weren't so busy delighting in the weight of his lover on him and afterglow. He peppered Laurent's face with light kisses, pressing his lips to the tip of his nose, over his eyes, along his cheeks and jaw.

"We made a bit of a mess," he chuckled, finally, stretching out and lazing in the sweet warmth of what they'd done. "We're going to have to move soon, if we keep this up. I'm not looking forward to those stairs."

Laurent whined softly at the prospect of moving. "Your fault," he insisted, "for not planning ahead for kinky sex frenzies with your fiance."

Smiling fondly, Laurent snuggled with him, sighing with contentment. "We'll have to talk to Helen tomorrow. You can blame everything on me, and my delicate Veretian temperament."

Gansey rubbed his hand in circles on Laurent's back, closing his eyes and sighing as well.

"Oh, yes. I can see how that conversation is going to go." Clearing his throat, he began with a smirk pulling at his lips, "Dearest Helen, can we please have the rooms you've been having constructed as a wedding present? You see, Laurent demanded we move, after two days of kinky sex frenzies that left us an absolute mess, into rooms with a bathroom in which to clean up after. He imagines it's something we'll be doing quite a bit, after all. My fault for not being prepared for such labor intensive activities. What do you say?"

Laurent laughed, delighted by Gansey's version. He nuzzled at Gansey's throat, nipping once. "That all sounds about right. How can she argue?"

Latching on to the skin of Gansey's throat, Laurent sucked hard on it, determined to leave a mark, even though they both already looked like they'd been throttled.

"You can just say that your delicate, fastidious, Veretian fiance wants rooms with an in-suite bathroom to cater to his need for privacy and hygiene." Smiling, Laurent kissed Gansey's chin.

The attention to his throat rewarded Laurent with a soft noise, something between a groan and a sigh. Gansey didn't mind looking even more throttled if it meant Laurent would keep biting him like that.

"She'll probably agree," he said, slowly, "since she wouldn't be spending much time there anyway. She's here now, but since she got married she's expected to spend most of her time in her husband's court." After pressing a short kiss against Laurent's forehead, he continued, "However, we'll probably have to wait. Technically, we aren't supposed to be living together yet. Old fashioned rules. Mostly to keep women from getting pregnant before they're supposed to be, but they hold across every marriage."

Resting his head back on the pillow, he offered a boyish grin. "Either we speed up the wedding, or we sneak around between our rooms. Unless, of course, you'd like a few nights alone before you're stuck with me?"

"Lots of sneaking around," Laurent said, grinning. "I'm not letting any manner of social courtesies pull you from my side for more than an hour at a time. They can throw me in the dungeons if they must."

Smirking, Laurent nuzzled at him. "Leave the wedding to your mother. It's important that it be scheduled for best social and political impact. We can be patient. I should probably actually be spotted in my rooms, anyway. We can switch off every other day. My rooms have at least a small bathing chamber. And no stairs."

"If they throw you in the dungeons, they'll have to throw me in there as well," Gansey chuckled, "because I won't be parted from you either." It was one thing if Laurent decided that he needed some space. If they were perfectly happy shacking up together, then the rest of the castle hardly mattered to him. There was zero chance of pre-wedding babies happening between them.

"You're right," he agreed, relishing the thought of no stairs. He may have been able to play the gallant prince last night but there was no chance of that happening again tonight. "So, tomorrow we'll stay in your rooms, then?" Adding with a grin, "Does that mean I'll get to try on something of yours?"

Laurent laughed. "You know, I do have a very nice gown that might fit you," he said, eyes sparkling with mirth. "Your shoulders are a bit broad for any of my tunics, however."

Nodding, he sighed and sat up. "Tomorrow, my rooms. Tonight--we should at least get a wet cloth so that my skin doesn't get irritated. Since we're evidently going to keep doing this as frequently as possible."

Gansey grunted in agreement as he sat up as well, hair standing at odd angles. Blinking, he scrubbed his hands through the mess, which resulted in wisps of hair settling across his forehead.

"I'll call for some soap and towels," he yawned as he stretched his arms over his head lazily. "They won't think anything of it. I do most of my own cleaning up here." Glancing at the areas they'd been in the room, he bit back a laugh.

"Which, actually, may be true as well. We made a mess of more than just ourselves."

It wasn't a lot, but there reminders of their love, droplets on the floor and down the side of his desk that he hadn't noticed in the heat of the moment.

Biting at his lower lip, Laurent grinned, amused by the devastation. "I'll help you. Once the room stops spinning."

He crossed his legs, resting his arms on his knees and trying to recover. Warm with satisfaction, he shot Gansey a grin. "Soap and towels would be a good place to start. Might want to make sure you take that collar off before you interact with the servants, though."

"Oh."

Eyebrows flying into his hairline, he touched the collar, glancing down though he couldn't exactly see it. Truthfully, he'd almost forgotten he'd been wearing it.

"That would get around the castle faster than an orange at a full moon festival," he mused. While he liked the idea of people knowing how very much he belonged to Laurent, he didn't like the idea of his mother learning about what kinky sex her son was having. And she would find out.

"Take it off for me?" he asked, lifting his chin to give Laurent access. "Only you're allowed, after all."

Laurent grinned at that, reaching out to hook a finger under the collar to pull Gansey in for a kiss.

"Good," he murmured against Gansey's lips. "Because you're mine."

Unlatching the collar, he lifted his own chin as well, expecting Gansey to return the favor.

"Mm," he agreed, stealing another kiss while he had the chance. The loss of the collar left him feeling a touch bereft; he liked having something on him that proved that they were lovers. Not that he could very well walk around the castle wearing a collar. Some things were better left in the bedroom, away from prying eyes.

Teasing the collar around Laurent's neck with his fingers, "Oh? But you don't have to talk to the servants." Tone playful, he wiggled a finger underneath, "Maybe I'll keep you like this forever." Even as he said that he unlatched it, freeing Laurent of the restraint.

"People might start to wonder if you kept your fiance locked away in a tower," Laurent teased in return. "I can't say I'd mind, though. If you kept me plied with books and wine, that is."

Stealing a quick grope, Laurent swatted him. "Go on, before we get distracted again."

Gansey laughed joyously, "Have you forgotten that we still have a third round to go?" With a wink he stepped away, laughing as he went, making to call for some towels to wash up with.

It didn't take long for the maid to bring him a bucket of water, a bar of soap, and a stack of towels. She asked several times if he was sure if he wouldn't like some help, that she'd happily scrub his floors or anything else he wanted, but he responded in good humor that he had only spilled some ink on himself and the desk and that it was his duty to clean it up.

With everything safely in arms, he came back into the room and closed the door with his foot. He'd tossed on some trousers for the maid earlier, so he pulled them off once more so that he could properly scrub clean.

"Want me to wipe you down?"

"Yes," Laurent said, staying on the bed and watching as Gansey pulled on the trousers and went, and then returned and stripped them off again. "I don't think I can take a third round. Shall I beg for mercy from my lord and master?" Laurent smirked, sweet and wicked as he watched his lover. He didn't bother to move, enjoying the view far too much, combined with a natural laziness and a history of having servants to tend to his whims and clean his messes.

"I think that maybe you should," he bounced back, bringing it all to the bed and sitting down on the edge, "before I have my way with you again."

The water was hot, still steaming from being heated, and felt incredibly good against his skin when he dipped the soap and rag inside. "Come here." Not worried about getting the sheets wet because they needed a good wash anyway, he dragged the hot rag across Laurent's belly, wiping away remnants of semen and sweat.

Laurent moved close, kneeling with his thighs parted and reaching for Gansey. He rested his hands lightly on Gansey's chest, skimming them over his skin. "I like it when you're commanding. It makes a thrill go through me." Utterly trusting, he moved as Gansey directed him, eyes always flicking back to Gansey, his anchor. "My prince."

"Do you?" That was an interesting note. With a smirk he continued to wipe Laurent down, glancing up from his work every so often.

"Truthfully, I like commanding more than obeying." Which may have been obvious from how they quickly flipped roles. He brought the rag up to Laurent's chest, wiping across it. "And I like having you beg me like that. My Laurent."

Leaning forward, he pressed a soft kiss against his lips.

Laurent returned the kiss, sweet and adoring, all smiles as it broke. "I knew you liked commanding. It comes very naturally to you. Far more naturally than it does to me. It suits me more to yield, though only when I'm with you. No one else shall have my willing and pliant obedience." He smirked at that, tilting his head to kiss Gansey's cheek. "I beg your mercy, my lord. You've worn me out entirely."

The mischievous sparkle in his eyes said he wasn't quite as worn out as last night, but the plea was performed prettily enough nonetheless.

Gansey snorted, knowing full well what that sparkle meant. "It won't be long before you're too worn out to even utter those words," he said, ruffling Laurent's hair with good humor. Now that they had a better feel for what they liked it would be easier to focus on the act rather than the getting there. Not that they wouldn't continue to experiment, of course.

Dipping the rag again into the bucket, he began wiping himself down, cleaning down his belly and between his thighs. It wasn't as good as a bath but it would do.

"What would you like to do tomorrow?"

"I might like to visit my favorite stable groom," Laurent joked, lounging back on the bed and watching as Gansey cleaned himself. He propped his head on his hand, shamelessly enjoying the show. "And Butternut. Although we should probably make an appearance at the court. And you, at least, need to speak to your sister."
