A Burden Shared (Zevlor X GN Reader)
Author's Note: This is a romantic moment between two leaders who just need a break. Includes smut. Thanks for reading 💛
You snuck away from the party in an attempt to take a moment for yourself before you moved on in the morning. You kept to the shadows past Halsin and toward the spacious hot springs you'd found in the woods. The party had been winding down and most of the group seemed to be in their tents and bedrolls. When you arrived, someone was already there. Zevlor. You threw your bundle of clothes in front of your face accompanied by a squeak.
"I am so so sorry. I didn't think anyone would be here."
A low laugh twisted your insides and made you shiver as he began to speak.
"I apologize for taking advantage, but the heat was very tempting. Give me a few moments and I'll be out of the way."
You threw a hand out to stop him, blushing furiously behind your clothes.
"No! That's okay. I don't want to inconvenience you. But if you don't mind me coming in as well.. I would appreciate it. My muscles feel so tense."
"Not at all."
"Okay well could you, erm. Could you turn around?"
After hearing him moving in the water, you peeked and sighed gratefully that his back was now to you. Your clothes felt so constricting and you were thrilled to be finally able to shed them and slip in the water. A groan left your lips and his shoulders stiffened almost imperceptibly. Your muscles began to loosen with the heat of the springs and a soft sigh of relief slipped out.
His chuckle warmed you up more than the water as he said, "I understand. It feels like it's been ages since I felt safe enough to take off my armor. I figure they'll be alright for just a little while without us."
You turned to face the edge and folded your arms under your head before turning to peek at him over them. What you could see of him in the moonlight looked distraught.
"For what it's worth, I'm sorry. Your people didn't deserve what happened to them or what's happened since."
An appreciative smile made its way onto his weary face followed by a quick nod.
"I wish I could have done more for them. We left for a better life only to be turned out everywhere we go. I wish I could offer them more protection."
His skin was hot where you reached out and touched it. He leaned into your simple touch where your fingers curled around his shoulder.
"I'm sorry for the burdens you carry. The ones you have to carry alone."
"Ah, you would know something about that wouldn't you," he said with a wry smile.
"Well, it isn't the same as being a Hellrider commander-"
"Good leadership in anything is hard to find and very valuable. Do not discount your abilities. You have performed no mere feat and you have somehow managed to get quite the array of companions to work together without even knowing each other beforehand. I am... very impressed by you. And please, call me Zevlor. Just Zevlor."
You flushed, pleased by his words and hid your face against your arms. Pain shot through your calf and you gasped as you grabbed your leg, wincing as the muscle seized up.
"Here. Let me."
You turned toward him and he reached for your leg under the water. He took a gentle hold of it and braced your foot on his thigh before massaging the back of your calf. The grass was soft where your head fell back onto the ground as his fingers continued to work on your tired muscles. A soft moan slipped from your lips, making you press your lips tightly together as embarrassment flooded through every inch of your body.
He froze briefly before continuing and releasing your leg when he felt your muscles relax. He turned away from you slightly, avoiding your gaze. You swallowed hard and crossed your arms over your chest protectively.
"What is it?"
"Well. It's been quite some time since I heard those kinds of noises brought forth due to my hands."
Your face heated as your eyes widened and you begged silently to be pulled into the ground.
"Zevlor," you whispered, distressed.
"I apologize. It was not my intention to make you uncomfortable. I'll remove myself from the springs momentarily."
Before you could stop yourself, your hand flew out and landed on his forearm.
"Don't go."
He turned to you, curiosity sparking in his eyes.
"You're certain?"
You nodded and left your hand resting on him. He settled in a bit closer to you, leaning further into your touch. His arm pressed against yours, allowing you to be close enough to rest your head on his shoulder. He marveled silently, not having had the opportunity to be close to someone in a very long time.
His fingers grazed along the side of your face to cup the side of your neck under your jaw. His forehead bumped gently against yours. You tipped your head back and skimmed your lips over his with the lightest touch. His other arm braced on the rocks at the edge of the water.
His body pressed closer to yours with a gentleness. His movements were relaxed as he leaned in to kiss you. His lips brushed over your collar bone, pulling a satisfied sigh from within you. Your fingers trailed over the length of his ears to the fine point and then the back where you caressed the softer skin there. He shuddered and bracketed your body with his arms. His breath grew heavy as he pulled back, drinking you in.
"It has been some time since I shared such intimacies with another. Thank you for helping me see that there are still good things in the world."
Your arms slid around his neck as he held you at the edge. His moved to your waist, tightening and pulling you flush against his body. Your breath caught as you felt him brush against you under the water. His nearness made you eager, made you want to find something good in the wilderness. Your hand snaked down to wrap around him, making him grunt in surprise. His widened eyes flicked to yours, mouth opening slightly as your hand moved back and forth to encourage him to harden more in your touch.
"What's this, Tav?"
You halted and pulled your hand from him as doubt began coursing through you.
"I'm so sorry, Zevlor. I don't know what came over me."
You turned, breaking his hold on you, and pushed yourself out of the hot springs, fighting the embarrassment that tried to consume you. You reached for your clothes, clutched them to your chest and froze when you heard water dripping behind you.
"Where are you going?" His voice was soft as if approaching an injured animal.
"Away, I think. I'm sorry, Zevlor. For making you uncomfortable. Just.. forget it happened. Please."
He laughed, weakly and caught your hand in his. He kept it wrapped around yours and brought it near his fully erect cock.
"You did not make me uncomfortable, Tav. Put that from your mind. If you are.. amenable to continuing, I would very much like to do so. Only if you wish to."
You dropped your clothes by his and nodded, turning back to him. His breath caught in a choked gasp as your fingers tightened around him once more. You pumped your hand over him, making him melt against you. His hips rocked into your grip as his arms wound loosely around your waist. His face lifted to the sky, neck bared to you. You took quick advantage and kissed and nipped along his skin, making him groan. When your wrist twisted as you neared his flared head, he bucked with a breathless laugh and brought his hand up to play with your nipple.
Your free hand moved down, cupping his balls in your hand. They rested heavily in your touch as you squeezed, eliciting another deep noise of satisfaction from him. As he rocked against you, his teeth moved to your shoulder, nipping sharply at your tender skin. He huffed as your hands worked at him, desperately trying to stay quiet to prevent being overheard by those at camp.
His cheek was heated where it met your shoulder. His face was buried against your neck. His incoherent pleas for more made your mind dizzy with desire. As he got closer, his hips bucked erratically and he shifted you from his front to tight against his hip. He held you around the waist and at the nape of your neck, kissing lightly and pressing his moans into your skin.
He jerked and came roughly, spurting on the ground. He lingered against your neck as he settled and caught his breath. As his hand reached for you to return the pleasure, Halsin's booming voice echoed through the trees, causing you to flinch in each other's arms.
"Erm, I believe Tav has gone to the springs. They should be done.. soon."
Your eyes met Zevlor's, amusement crinkling his at the corners. His fingers clasped the back of your neck tighter to pull you closer and press a firm kiss to your lips.
"I suppose we should get dressed, then. Thank you for helping me forget my worries."
You both dressed quickly in the dark and after gesturing toward an alternate path back to camp, you turned back the way you had come. He caught you around the waist and tugged you back toward him for a moment. He hesitated as if not sure what to do. You made a quick decision to throw your arms around him and pull him tight against you.
"Be safe," he murmured. "I do hope we meet again."
"In Baldur's Gate, once all of this is done?"
He nodded, cheek pressed to yours, reluctant to let go.
"It's a date, then."
He was thankful for the cover of dark that hid the intensity of the blush that came across his skin. With one last squeeze, he slowly let go and watched you go down the path before turning to his own.
As you stepped back through the tree line, you passed Halsin and gave him a quick nod and whisper of 'thanks'.
"Anytime," he whispered back, lips curled up at the edges.
As you turned back to face toward your tent, you yelped as you bumped right into Zevlor's chest. He quickly steadied you with a grip on your elbows and a sudden shyness overtook you.
"Zevlor," you murmured in greeting. The one word held so much. A tender memory to hold close through the battles to come.
"Tav," he greeted back, his voice softer than you'd ever heard it before.
He let go of you after ensuring you were steady and watched you walk off to your tent and duck inside.
"Nice time at the springs?" Halsin asked, unable to keep the grin from his face.
Zevlor inhaled sharply and avoided his eyes, trying to keep his composure.
"Quite. Tav is.. a very special person."
Halsin nodded sagely.
"Indeed. Destined for great things."
