Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

As Iris pulled away from him, Caspian turned back to her, watching as she scrambled to throw her clothes back on. He felt a pang of disappointment, wishing they hadn’t been interrupted when they had been about to indulge in their desire for each other at last. However, there was no time to think about that right now. For the moment, they had the cover of darkness to hide from Jay and Miles, but if the other high borns shined a light into the bathroom, they would be caught. So, he followed suit, picking up his shirt and trousers from the floor and fumbling to put them back on before his friends grew clever enough to take a look through the glass door.

Just as he pulled his top back down over his head, he heard her starting to panic. He let go of the fabric and turned toward her once more while she fanned herself and scrambled to come up with an explanation for them to be in the bathroom at the same time. Initially, he’d been startled by the others too, but watching her freak out had a strangely calming effect. One of them needed to be level-headed if they were going to get away without drawing attention to themselves, and that responsibility fell to him now.

Quickly, he took hold of her hands to stop her from rushing about. “Iris, Iris, calm down,” he whispered, frowning solemnly as he held her gaze. “Those two are high as a kite. We can do this. Just stay behind me, and I’ll get the door for them. As soon as they come in, go back to the bedroom. If we tell them you were there the whole time, I’m sure they’ll believe it.”

From the other room, he could hear Jay and Miles jostling the handle as they tried once more to get in. “It’s stuck good,” Miles grumbled when the door didn’t budge.

“That’s what she said,” Jay snickered.

Miles laughed and then shook his head, “I’m gonna get a maid and let her know that we need to call a locksmith. I’m too baked for this shit.”

At that, Cas stiffened. If his friend called one of the servants, they would find out that Iris was hiding in the room with them. He couldn’t let that happen—not while he had nowhere else to send her where she would be safe. Hurriedly, he called out, “I told you guys I needed to use the toilet! The door’s locked so you would stay out!”

“Cas?” Miles paused, pressing his face up to the glass again and squinting as he attempted to look through. “Why are you in there with all the lights off?”

Gently, Cas pushed Iris so that he was standing between her and the other high borns. He doubted they could see inside, but just in case, it was better for them to only see him. “What are you talking about?” he asked in return, using the first response that popped into his head. “The lights aren’t off. You must’ve had too much.”

“Really?” Miles blinked, squinting harder and then recoiling from the door with a grimace. “Fuck. I overdid it. I’ve gotta lay down.” He took a step away from the bathroom, stopped, and then turned back again. “Wait. I still have to piss. Are you done in there yet?”

“Yeah, just give me one second and I’ll let you in,” Cas yelled back. Glancing at Iris over his shoulder, he shrugged. “See? They’ll believe pretty much anything when they get like this.”

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Can't make it easy on them xD What would be the fun in that?

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

As Iris’s dress fell at their feet, Caspian’s heart stumbled in his chest. He broke the kiss to pull back from her just enough to take in the sight of her half naked body in his arms. A flush of color crept over his face and neck, and he forgot how to breathe. He’d never gotten this far with any woman before her, but he was glad that she was the first. His eyes swept over her curves, mesmerized by how perfect she was. Everything about her was intoxicating. The darkness of the bathroom dulled his vision somewhat, but he was still entrance by the fairness of her porcelain skin, the softness of her hips and chest, and the hourglass contours that made it impossible for him to tear his gaze away.

Had she not reached for the hem of his shirt in that moment, he might have gotten carried away and ripped at the thin undergarments that concealed the rest of her figure from his view. Her sultry touch brought him back down to earth though, and he closed his eyes as she kissed him again. Being with her now, hidden away in his friend’s bathroom, felt almost surreal. They had talked a little about sleeping together, always vaguely, but now that they were actually going to, he was worried he would wake up. The only thing convincing him that he wasn’t asleep was the sensuous caress of her fingers and the warmth of her lips upon his. Dreams never felt this good.

Feeling her lift his shirt, he shuddered and raised his arms to allow her to pull the garment over his head. Once it was off, he took it in his hand and tossed it aside, kissing her again as he unbuttoned his own trousers. He let them drop to the floor with the rest of their haphazardly strew clothes and wrapped his arms around Iris once more. The sensation of being so close to her, without even much fabric to separate them, made his skin feel hot, and he curled his fingers in her long hair, stroking her bare back and hips with his other hand as he leaned into her against the wall.

“God, you’re so hot,” he panted, drifting away from her lips again to plant a trail of kisses from her jaw down to her collar. Behind her shoulders, he searched for the clasp of her bra to remove that next, but before he could even attempt to undo it, he froze as the doorknob suddenly rattled loudly.

With wide eyes, he turned his head toward the door, where he could see Miles attempting to get in from the other side. The other high born muttered something he couldn’t make out and then called out, “What the fuck? Why is the bathroom locked? I have to take a piss.”

Distantly, Jay responded, “Let me try. It’s probably just jammed.”

“Shit,” Cas hissed, tensing as a second silhouette suddenly appeared beside the first. In their inebriation, his friends seemed to have forgotten that the bathroom was occupied.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

True, haha. I also think this moment will be one that prompts Cas to pay for a hotel for him and Iris, since he'll be sick of getting interrupted xD He wants her so bad, but they never have a good moment to be alone.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Caspian smiled against Iris’s neck when she spoke, the purr in her words sending a shiver down his spine. It had been a simple gesture, but just the fact that she had thought of pleasing him by wearing that dress after they had been away from each other for a week was endearing to him. It showed that she had been thinking about him during their time apart, just like he’d been thinking about her. Over the course of the lockdown, she’d rarely left his mind. He’d missed spending time with her, and he would have been lying if he’d said her proposition to spend a night alone hadn’t appeared once or twice… a day. There had been a reason why he’d stopped by a gas station on his way over to see her, after all.

The way she whispered his name stirred his desire for her, and he nipped at her skin with his teeth just below her jawline. He loved the way it sounded on her lips. Her breathy voice was seductive to him, and he began to wonder how long he could hide away with her without Miles or Jay noticing their absence. Discreetly, he cracked one eye open and glanced at the door. At the pub, they’d had to be careful because they had been in such an uncertain situation with no way to be safe, but now, they were secure in the capital, away from danger, and they wouldn’t risk the same consequences that they would have in the districts. With his friends veritably knocked out in the bedroom, it was their best chance to get away with crossing the line.

Feeling her hand against his cheek, Cas turned his head to meet Iris’s gaze as she told him she loved him once again. The assurance chipped away at the insecurity he’d felt upon watching Miles flirt with her, and he exhaled, “I love you too, Iris.” As her hands found their way back to his hair, he met her halfway in a kiss, intoxicated by the feeling of her body pressed against his. The sight of her in the dark scarlet dress, the touch of her hands on his skin and the scent of her in close proximity was enough to leave him feverish with lust. In that moment, they were in their own world. Miles and Jay were long gone, and no one was around to interrupt them.

With labored breaths, he slipped his arms around her back and ran his fingers over her dress until he located the zipper. Already, he could practically feel his heart beating in his throat. Having never slept with anyone before, nervous thoughts crept through the fog of passion in his mind. He didn’t know exactly what he was doing, and even though he knew what he wanted, part of him worried about what she would think if he couldn’t meet her expectations. He wanted her to enjoy it too, but a bathroom wasn’t exactly easy terrain to navigate.

Still, it was all they had to work with, and he wasn’t so nervous that he was afraid to go through with it, so he pulled the fastening of her dress, trying to keep his composure as he felt the fabric come loose. The anticipation alone was almost debilitating, and he kissed her even more zealously, his blood running hot with carnal fire.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Nice! And yeah, I think it has the potential to be comedic all around. Depending on how far Cas and Iris get, they could be scrambling to put clothes on while Miles and Jay are stumped at the locked door cx

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

How was your weekend? Do you like the new game?

And I was thinking that for this bit, Cas and Iris might get a little carried away again, only to be interrupted by Miles or Jay trying to get into the bathroom because they forgot it's occupied cx

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Caspian wrapped his arms around Iris’s back and waist, pulling her as close to himself as possible as they kissed in Miles’ bathroom. When he’d first come up with the idea to sneak away from the others, he hadn’t planned to lock lips with her right away. He still wanted to talk to her and find out how she was doing since he and the others had helped her escape from the hospital. With Jay and Miles around, they couldn’t speak freely with each other, so now was their only chance to have that private conversation. However, as he felt her fingers tangle in his hair and her lips move against his, all thoughts of talking fled from his mind.

A low sigh escaped from his throat, and he clutched at the fabric of her dress in a heated frenzy, lost in his rekindled desire to be with her. Distantly, he was glad that they’d had a chance to check in with each other when Miles had gone to the front door to let Jay in. Now that he was certain her feelings for him hadn’t changed while they had been apart, he had no more reservations about deepening the kiss as he held her against the bathroom wall just out of sight from where his friends had collapsed in their drug-induced stupors.

The secrecy of the encounter made it more thrilling for him as well. Every relationship he’d ever had had been conducted in secret, since the king didn’t allow him to date, but he’d never made out with a woman in a darkened room before, only three meters away from two people who had no idea what they were doing. Surprisingly, he found it exciting to know that they ran the rink of being caught if either of the other high borns shined a light through the glass door. Having that knowledge in the back of his head only fueled his fervor, and he reached up with one hand to run his fingers through her long hair.

“You remembered, didn’t you?” he breathed against her lips, trailing his other hand against the dark red dress as he opened his eyes to look down at her smaller frame sandwiched between himself and the wall. He smiled, and his eyes flicked back up to meet hers, still hovering close enough that the air from his lungs mingled with hers in the sliver of space between them. “You look beautiful, Iris.” Touching another kiss to her mouth, he closed his eyes again as he melted into her once more.

Though he didn’t have much experience being with someone else physically, he felt comfortable enough with her that there was no hesitation in his movements. He knew what he wanted, and he knew she wanted the same thing, so he acted with confidence, leaning some of his weight into her to pin her against the smooth surface while he transitioned to her jawline, teasing her skin with his lips and tongue.

It was super fun! We mostly just hung out playing games and watching TV, since we can't really go out because of the virus. The hike was great too! We found an old cave system at the top of the mountain that we spent some time exploring. Most of it was collapsed, but there were a couple caves that we could wander in and take photos :)

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

When Iris nodded and gave the high borns an excuse to use the bathroom, Cas bit back a sly smile. Objectively, he couldn’t be too proud of the fact that he’d come up with an idea to slip away from his friends. Jay and Miles were so messed up from the drinks and drugs that he probably could have walked out the door with her without either of them noticing. However, he still felt clever for thinking up a plan that would all but guarantee that they could sneak off for a few minutes without getting caught.

“What time?” Miles queried, furrowing him brows confusedly and lifting his head off the floor to watch Iris disappear into the adjoining room. Had he been sober, he would have understood what she was alluding to, but his intoxicated mind jumped straight to the time that was being displayed on the clock in his bedroom. And apparently Jay’s did as well.

“It’s after four,” he replied. The two both paused for a few seconds and then burst out laughing again, entertained by something that had gone over Caspian’s head. The prince shook his head as he watched them. They were further gone than he’d seen in quite a while. Originally, he’d planned to wait a few minutes before he would follow Iris into the bathroom, so they wouldn’t find it odd that he was going with her, but it seemed like he didn’t have to bother. They were already distracted enough for him to get away without drawing attention to himself.

“I need to use the toilet,” he said, standing up. “I’ll be right back.”

“Don’t take too long,” Jay warned. “Or you’re gonna miss all of this.” He gestured indistinctly at the ceiling that he and Miles were so entranced by. “We need your help to find the dragon.”

“I’ll, uh, keep that in mind,” Cas assured him amusedly.

Hurrying to get away from them before they realized what he was doing—if it was even possible in their current state—he slipped through the bathroom door into the dark space beyond. Once inside, he turned the lock on the handle behind him until he heard a faint click. The last thing he wanted was for one of his friends to stumble in on him and Iris in a compromising position, so it was safer to make sure that neither of them could get in.

He jostled the handle once just to make sure the lock worked and then turned away from the door, locating her silhouette in the gloom. The only light that illuminated the bathroom was the faint sunlight from the window in the bedroom that diffused through the glass door. Still, he spotted her right away, and a grin took over his features. It was the first time he’d really had her to himself since they had been running from the rebellion. All at once, his excitement swelled, his heart raced and he closed the distance between them, pushing her back against the wall as he pressed a fervent kiss to her lips, relishing the sensation of being close to her again.
