Work Text:
"So, Vel when are you gonna make me your mate?" The question caught Vel a bit off guard. She looked up from the mess of papers on her desk and over to her lover who was dangerously cute and distracting. Importunely she was just as distracting.
"We've been mating almost daily for months. And as much as I love your enthusiasm, you're still human, Malori. You have limits that I don't, even with your increased life span." It was actually more than impressive that Malori could keep up with her and still ask for more. What surprised her even more is that she wasn't already pregnant.
Malori leaned into her chair and pointed to her neck. "Then why haven't you bitten me yet? You're a dragon, you're supposed to mark your mate. Are you ashamed of me, Vel?! Do you not love me?! Are you tired of me already?!" She yelled all too dramatically, wiping away fake tears.
Before Vel would have found this behavior so annoying that she'd send Malori all the way to a resurrection in a matter of seconds and with no mercy. Now, that she loved her she found this behavior endearing.
Love really does change a person. How dangerous.
"A dragon's bite is forever binding. I already see you as my mate, Malori, nothing, no time passing will ever change that. But for a mating bite I'd like a little more time to pass, for us to... court properly. And no, I will never get tired of you. I plan on marrying you and having kids with you."
"Well how long do I need to wait for those things to happen? Cause I'm completely down for all of that now." Her enthusiasm was exactly why Vel didn't want to bring her future wife to work so often. Every time she did they ended up wasting at least a few hours on sex.
Not that it was a waste of time in a sense that it was bad but... Vel was definitely less productive because of it.
She motioned Malori over and the mage was there before Vel could finish blinking, right on her lap and leaning in for an open-mouthed kiss. "Not that, you damn horny woman. I'm working, you're working. Look, Malori, I want to show you off, I want you to be mine in every sense of the word, I'll never want anyone else but... if I marked you now... I wouldn't be able to think of anything but breeding with you. There's way too much work to be done right now and I can't spend every waking moment having sex with you."
Breeding, spending every waking moment having sex, that sounded pretty good actually. However, sadly, Malori also had to behave herself, she had to prove that she was worthy of being the Demon Queen's wife.
"Fine. But as soon as this kingdom is back on track you are marking me and putting as many babies in me as possible." For some reason that sounded like a threat. And coming from a human Vel could fold in half without even trying that was pretty hot.
"Deal, I promise." Because how in her right mind could she refuse?
"Great! Then lets back to work!" Malori didn't move back to her chair but she was determined to actually work this time. If Vel knew it was that easy to get her favorite human to do her job she would have used this strategy before.
And had at least a few kids by now. Oh well, there's more than enough time.
