Somewhere in Persia: Her Breaking Point

[gorgonfondness]

Mia has been celibate since the night she and Draco talked about Scarlet.

It's starting to take its toll.

Particularly now that Draco has taken her on this whirlwind trip to Persia. And on her birthday, no less! Practically since the clock struck midnight, she's been showered with exotic luxuries. Elegant, soft shawls; glistening, lovely jewelry (not that she really needs more); and sweet, alluring perfumes, among other treasures were given to her. Some worried, paranoid part of her wondered if this was a bribe to finally crumble.

But the thing is, that wasn't what was working.

Draco was capturing her with his movements, his looks, his voice, his.....everything.

At one point of the trip, they have to go camping. In a fortunately secluded place.

"Good, the coast is clear," is all the warning he gets from his wife before she's swung her leg over his lap, distracting him with the most passionate kiss she's given him in what feels like ages while her hands fumble with his trousers.

Several wonderful minutes later, Draco was lounging back again with a pleased smile on his face.

"I need to visit here far more often clearly."

[gorgonfondness]

"Wouldn't have guessed from your complaining earlier," she says, tracing her fingers down his chest. "Not that it took much to silence it."

She leans over to kiss his chin.

"So, how do you feel about camping now?"

[dragonofgrey.livejournal.com]

"Mmm... I suppose I could get used to it... Might need more regular convincing."

Though not right now, he needs to recharge.

[gorgonfondness]

"There's a good spot in the woods outside of Burg if you'd like to go camping before the festival."

She brushes some hair out of his eyes.

"This might be the most wonderful birthday I've ever had."

"I had wanted you to see it for some time. Enjoying it so far?" He drew his arms around her more, and kissed the top of her head.

[gorgonfondness]

"So far? Will there be more?"

[dragonofgrey.livejournal.com]

"Of course. After Persia, I'd like to show you Egypt as well. There's the pyramids to see and everything. Just avoid the mummies and be well."

Granted the first time he laid eyes on one, he freaked.

[gorgonfondness]

"You're not going to shower me with more birthday presents are you? Not that I'm complaining about your attention, but I don't know what I'm going to do with all of them."

Perhaps he's noticed that she's selling off a good portion of The Pile.

"Well perhaps some scented oils? You can use them in the bath? Or spices for the kitchen?"

Draco can be practical. Rarely.

[gorgonfondness]

"Or even for your potions," she suggests. "It may be my birthday, but this is your vacation, too."

[dragonofgrey.livejournal.com]

"Oh of course, I'm running low on a few rare herbs, and this is a good source for them."

[gorgonfondness]

She leans on his chest, softly sniffing at his shirt.

"Like their scent on you," she murmurs.

"Really? You've never minded?" He knows some potion ingredients have a tendency to be annoyingly pungent.

[gorgonfondness]

"Of course not. I like the smell of your potions shop and what you smell like after you have been working in your potions shop."

Maybe it's a witch thing...

Perhaps.

Draco kissed her again, "Tired yet, luv?" He surprised himself with punctuating a yawn at the end of it. It had been a full and happy day.

[gorgonfondness]

She kisses back before his question.

"Well, between the presents and the camping, you do wear me out in the most pleasant way."

Mia snuggles closer to him.

"Don't think I'm going to go to sleep just yet though."

[dragonofgrey.livejournal.com]

"You wear me out quite lovely, darling," He admitted with another yawn, and drew his arms more around her to settle her in against him. He kissed her head.

"What would you like to do tomorrow?"

[gorgonfondness]

She shrugs.

"Whatever it is, I want to do it with you."

She might be moving her head just a little bit so she can place her ear more on his chest. The better to hear his heartbeat.

"No preference at all? What do you feel like?"

[gorgonfondness]

"I feel like getting some local groceries and cooking a nice meal for my sweet husband."

[dragonofgrey.livejournal.com]

He brightened at that, "You will? Some naan and a nice lamb dish?"

[gorgonfondness]

"As long as you're willing to help a little?" she asks. "Pick out spices for the lamb, taste everything to make sure it's okay..."
