"That's the first time I've heard you laugh," Darius observed, Ophelia shifted sitting back on her knees between Darius's legs. "Really?" She asked, "Yeah, I didn't even know you could laugh. You're always so damn serious." Darius teased still laying back.

"Obviously you haven't spoken to Officer Spade." Ophelia chuckled to herself, she tucked some hair behind her ear and the two of them stared at each other. "How long have you been trying to corner me?" She asked taking the opportunity to slip off Darius's boots. "You probably don't remember but shortly after you lied about how tents were set up in your village." Darius confessed, "You still have no proof of that." Ophelia replied without hesitation as she dropped Darius's boots into the floor.

Darius hummed softly in response stretching out his legs across Ophelia's lap. "But aside from that old bastard Lewis getting in my way... You're way too busy for a cadet." Darius complained with a sigh he decided to change the subject, a wise choice if Ophelia was honest. At this point, she'd take it to her grave that she didn't know how to put up a tent when she first joined.

"I like to earn my keep. You did tell me to earn those extra silvers Commander." Ophelia replied slipping one leg out from under her and untying her boot. She glanced over at Darius who narrowed his eyes playfully. "Well do good at this and I might want to keep you Reeds," Darius spoke, Ophelia shifted taking off her other boot. "That so?" She asked, "Yeah." Darius replied sitting up, he then moved over climbing onto her lap.

Darius shifted making himself comfortable and Ophelia stared up at him. She had never met anyone like Darius before, then again, aside from a few trips to nearby villages. Ophelia hadn't really been outside of Flat Trench since arriving there as a child. Where she had been before then was completely blank for her. But Ophelia didn't need to see the four corners of the world to know that this man in front of her was something special.

There was something that not only attracted Ophelia to Darius but... It made her want things she never wanted before. She didn't want to just survive anymore, she wanted to be the best she could possibly be. Maybe that drive had come from wanting to impress Darius on some level. But even now, she was no longer satisfied with just fading into the background anymore. She was no longer happy to lower her gaze... Something about Darius lit a fire inside her. Made her strangely competitive and greedy...

The two of them kissed yet again and at a lazy pace, clothes were stripped off their bodies. Tunics landed on top of their boots on the floor. Ophelia kissed the freshly exposed skin on Darius, starting at his stomach and moving her way up to his chest. Darius sighed happily moving her face away from his chest and kissing her lips again.

Ophelia shifted as they kissed placing Darius back on his back on the bed. She pulled away from kissing him and moved back down his body kissing his chest and stomach. Slowly pulling his pants down as she made her way down.

When her lips landed on his hip, she heard a soft shaking sigh leave Darius. His skin prickled under her lips and he shifted a bit. Ophelia could tell he was excited. Her free hand stripped the pants completely off of him and Ophelia moved Darius's legs gently pushing them apart once they were free from his pants. Kissing his inner thigh Ophelia felt the rapid pulse under her lips. She smiled pleased that Darius, despite his relaxed expression wouldn't be able to hide how he felt so easily.

It was good to know he was just as excited as she was. Ophelia felt her heart thudding rapidly in her chest, despite the lazy pace so far, she felt impatient and on edge. She didn't want anyone walking in on them. She wanted to keep Darius to herself right now. Looking up at him she kissed his inner thigh again smiling. Darius let out a soft breath and smiled back. From the moment they saw each other, it seemed so obvious now they'd end up in bed like this.

Ophelia shifted moving to Darius's groin, with a single movement Ophelia's mouth captured Darius's swollen member. An exploratory hand slid between his legs lower to check below. While slick leaked from Darius generously, especially after their work earlier. But Ophelia decided to work like this just in case. There was no need for Darius to be in pain if it could be avoided, whether they liked it or not. There was a size difference between them, so extra care had to be taken.

A pleased groan came from Darius and she felt his hand comb through her hair pushing it back from her face. "I just knew you'd look good like this," he remarked with a shaky breath as Ophelia sucked. His voice waivered slightly as he spoke, it seemed despite everything he was trying to tease her. Just to mess with him, Ophelia sucked a bit harder and Darius hissed through his teeth with a slight whine. She chuckled before releasing him.

"I'm only doing this because I won't fit in you otherwise." She explained moving one of her hands grasping gently at the base of Darius. A dry chuckle came from the omega, his face was flushed now. "Are... Are you saying the size of the sword matches its master?" He teased stuttering only slightly as Ophelia's hand caressed him. "Something like that," Ophelia replied gently caressing Darius. She was still unsure just how rough she could be, besides, there was no harm in being soft... At least for tonight anyway.

"I've got to make sure I won't split the sheath in half... So to speak." She mumbled half-mindedly, Ophelia then heard a scoff come from Darius. "Whether it's above or below I could take you." He scoffed, Ophelia looked up and saw that there was a competitive look in his eyes as if he took it as a challenge.

Ophelia shifted sitting on her knees again she released Darius from her grip as she did, "With a look like that..." She said feeling unsafe letting Darius around her groin. "Your mouth is not coming anywhere near me." Darius huffed and then eyed her up and down. His eyes landed on her groin. "Is that so?" he asked staring openly, "Why?" he questioned with a coy tone. "You look like you might bite me." Ophelia deadpanned. Laughter bubbled from Darius hearing this. He stifled his laughter into a chuckle, "You're so fun Reeds." He purred pressing his foot against Ophelia's covered groin, unlike Darius she hadn't yet removed her pants.

"We're about to have sex," Ophelia grabbed Darius's ankle lifting it up. "Don't you think we ought to call each other by name?" She asked kissing his ankle, a demure smile formed on Darius's lips in response. "You'll have to earn that." He said in a breathy tone, Ophelia's eyebrows rose. "Earn? I suppose this a reward for my work so far then?" She questioned moving her lips up his leg. Purposely leaving slow and careful kisses, she smirked hearing a noise of impatience come from Darius. "That's right." Darius replied, Ophelia stopped at his inner thigh again, "I guess you'll have to earn me calling you by name then too." She remarked.

Darius grinned upon hearing this, "Really?" he asked his eyes sparkling hearing a challenge. "Yes really." Ophelia rested Darius's leg on her shoulder. "you mentioned wanting to keep me... I'm not so easily kept commander." Ophelia slid her hand below him checking, with her free hand she caressed him as she had a digit enter him. "Well, I haven't decided on that yet. I said if you do good that this I might." Darius coyly replied, Ophelia raised an eyebrow wanting to remark about just how wet he had gotten. But instead, she thought of something better to say.

"Well, I suppose we're at a bit of a standstill then. I wonder who will want the other more after tonight." Ophelia purposely let the challenge linger in the air. A wide smile formed on Darius's lips. "You'll be kneeling in front of me Reeds." Darius declared, "Of course, I will, you're the commander." Ophelia replied snidely, a displeased look appeared on Darius's face. Ophelia chuckled softly inserting a second digit into him. He was loose right now, and Ophelia felt safe moving forward finally. Gently stretching him a couple of times, she heard a gentle groan of pleasure come from Darius.

"I'm getting bored Reeds." he complained, "Be a little more honest commander." Ophelia chided, "Just say you want me inside of you already." She grinned at him unoffended by his attempt to cover up his desires. "No," Darius replied straightforwardly with a smile. "No?" Ophelia responded, "Why should I be honest when I like pissing you off more?" He asked. Eyebrows rose on Ophelia and she smirked. "Well if you don't want me we can stop here..." Ophelia only shifted slightly before she found herself on her back on the bed.

"Oh no, you don't." Darius chuckled clearly looking annoyed that she tried to leave. He sat on her hips glaring at her, Ophelia smirked up at him amused with how angry he got. He was about to say something but she grabbed him pulling him down into a kiss. The stiffness relaxed in Darius and he melted into the kiss. Ophelia pulled away and leaned into his ear, "I wasn't going to leave Commander." She teased softly, "Unlike you, I'm a bit more honest." She continued kissing his ear.

"Really?" Darius had stiffened up for a moment when she said she wasn't going to leave, but seemed to relax, Ophelia wondered if she had embarrassed him. While teasing was fine, it only worked if it didn't bother the other. Ophelia realized then that pretending to leave may have upset Darius. So she decided to smooth things over, after all, their little back and forth was an exchange of power. She wanted things to be equal so they both could enjoy tonight together.

"Yes really, I want you, commander," Ophelia confessed shifting, Darius was back under her again. She hovered over him for a moment and grinned, "At least for tonight." She teased gently before kissing his forehead. Darius seemed to be in a better mood now despite the pout on his lips, Ophelia brushed the hair from his face and gave him a gentle smile. His pouting expression faded and became unreadable, Darius swallowed. "Reeds," he whispered her name softly.

Ophelia then pulled back and stripped off her pants, despite wanting things to take a bit more of a sweet turn. She heard Darius scoff once she was fully nude, feeling offended she looked up at him quietly. "I could take it," Darius spoke catching her dirty look. It took a moment for Ophelia to understand what the hell he was talking about. She then sighed and shook her head once she remembered. He was talking about putting his mouth on her there.

Ophelia shifted moving into position between Darius's legs. "You look like a biter so, no." Ophelia flatly refused, Darius reached for her flashing his teeth playfully at her. "Don't be a baby, I won't bite too hard." he teased tapping her nose. Ophelia snorted softly, "You just admitted to not being honest earlier commander." Ophelia chided running a hand down Darius's thigh, "Forgive me if I don't believe you." She spoke softly as she leaned down. Ophelia placed a soft kiss on Darius's lips and only pulled away when she felt Darius lightly bit her on her lips.

She shot an admonishing sneer at him, he smiled at her flashing his teeth. She sighed and smiled with a breathy chuckle kissing his forehead again. Then ever so slowly, Ophelia pushed her way into Darius. A soft breath came out of the omega, she watched with concern watching him struggle not to wince.

Maybe he hadn't been as ready as she thought he was... Pursing her lips, she didn't find Darius's discomfort amusing in the least. To comfort him, she leaned down kissing his face softly in different areas. Possibly without even thinking, she heard a soft purr rumble from him as Darius closed his eyes letting her kiss him all over his face. Once it became a little louder, Darius's eyes snapped open and Ophelia pulled away seeing a genuine look of embarrassment and surprise on his face. It was clear that Darius hadn't meant to let out such happy purrs.

Ophelia caressed his face feeling the heat from his darkened cheeks, he was stiff, frozen in embarrassment, and clearly fearing that she'd tease him. "it's okay." Ophelia spoke softly, and Darius's fearful look relaxed only slightly. Ophelia understood why Darius might not want her to hear him purr, it was a very intimate thing. The wrong alpha might get the wrong idea from it. Think that this was something more than just fooling around or that they had power over him. Ophelia didn't want to have power over Darius, she liked making things equal as possible. It wasn't fun for her if he was at a disadvantage.

"Everyone likes being treated preciously commander." She soothed him, Darius's eyes narrowed slightly with a wary look. "Are you doing that to me?" He questioned, Ophelia, nodded, "Of course." She replied kissing his cheek. "How else would I prove my loyalty?" She joked softly, Darius relaxed with that. It seemed despite being a joke, the excuse was enough to make him relax completely.

Now that Ophelia really thought about it, it was probably hard for him to feel comfortable enough to do things like this. To be soft and not guarded all the time. Being an omega in charge of an army of alphas and betas... Men at that. They would be looking for any moment of weakness to take Darius's position away from him. The gravity of their flirtations earlier when Darius mentioned her liking his power weighed on Ophelia. She was relieved that she was honest in confessing that she liked more that he challenged her rather than what he had.

Ophelia didn't want Darius to think she wanted to take anything from him. Ophelia caressed his face gently, the omega relaxed leaning his face into her hand. It was then Ophelia decided that even if it was just for tonight they were going to be soft together. Because just like Darius, Ophelia wasn't used to the feeling either.

Once Darius was completely relaxed and his purring rumbled in a low constant hum. Ophelia began to move slowly, the purring stopped and Darius let out a soft breath with the first movement. "Was that too much?" Ophelia questioned, "No. It feels good." Darius confessed in a quiet tone only she could hear. It was as if he was afraid the whole camp would hear him. "Tell me if anything's uncomfortable." Ophelia leaned down kissing his jawbone. "I want us both to enjoy this." She whispered quietly.

Ophelia found a slow and relaxed pace, she saw no reason to rush, as she moved she peppered Darius's face with kisses once again. Breathy purrs rumbled out of Darius more openly, it was so endearing to see the omega trust her enough to relax that much. Ophelia wanted them even if only this once, to have this much together. This soft sweetness in the quiet of the night... Whether attraction between them would continue after this didn't matter. She wanted just for a moment for the rest of the world to melt away and for them to be the only two left.
