Doing the Deed. Maybe.

[Deleted]

They had been married over two weeks now, and Kia had not initiated anything near intimacy with Savannah. She was living in the mansion, in separate quarters than the ones Kia now shared with Vero, but it was all still very awkward. Kia had thought a lot about how they should... do things. They should probably sleep together during the day, when Vero was out of the mansion, as he doubted either he r Savannah intended to spend the night together. Kia wanted to keep his nights for Vero, and allow Savannah to have whatever company she desired at night. They should also probably use a neutral room, so they were not sleeping in the same bed they'd... copulated in. Vero didn't want details, but Kia was sure he'd appreciate that one.

In spite of his planning, however, he hadn't approached the subject with Savannah. He'd never felt more like an awkward teenager since... well, ever. Even the first time he'd had sex, he'd been far more confident. Far more eager. But it was starting to feel ridiculous, because if they couldn't get over this hurdle, their marriage would serve no purpose. So Kia forced himself to find Savannah one day when Vero was out, heading for the dining room as it was just past midday. He caught Savannah as she was leaving. "Sav," he said, to get her attention. "Do you have some time to spare?"

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE LIONESS
SHE HUNTS AND SHE NURTURES; SHE IS THE HEART OF THE PRIDE
TAGGED @kiawah	Savannah had not exactly been avoiding Kiawah, but she didn’t go out of her way to spend time with her hostage husband. Well that was a major exaggeration. Honestly, Kiawah was one of her closest friends and she didn’t regret the marriage at all, but as days rolled by pressure to address the issue of consummating the arrangement became that much heavier. The sooner they did it, the sooner they would be able to produce heirs—but that didn’t make it sexier. The entire arrangement was business rather than pleasure, making it awkward to approach between friends. She wasn’t avoiding him; but... the topic of intercourse was something she’d been trying to figure out. She had ideas... mostly drawn from sleepless, alcohol driven nights with multiple partners of varying sexualities... Though producing an heir required a little more thought than mindless sex with multiples... “Yes!” she exclaimed as she spun on her heel, ironically pulled from her train of thought. “I have... nothing but time,” her teeth were a bit tense as she grinned at him. Normally she’d be swamped, but she was in the middle of training a handful of younger healers in the morning. They weren’t her, but she thought numbers would help balance the scales. Other than that she really didn’t have much to do in the mansion. “Did you.... need something?” He seemed nervous—more than usual at least. The awkward tone never really left their relationship. Had his thoughts been in the same.... spot? “Oh—do you want to talk privately?” she wasn’t sure what she was supposed to do; seduce him? That seemed so strange she couldn’t help the laugh she had to fight down. They were mature adults. They were capable of discussing this... yet all Sav wanted to do was tell jokes and awkwardly slip away. She could be seductive; but this weren’t exactly.... regular circumstances.

She had nothing but time. The words probably held no intent to make Kia feel guilty, though they did. Kia was certain if she wasn't tied now to him and this mansion, she would have more on her plate to keep her occupied. Her smile looked tense, too. She asked if he needed anything, and then suggested they might want to talk privately. Did he need something? Yes. He did.

He swallowed hard, unsure how to respond for a moment, but then became annoyed at himself a second later. He was the fucking emperor. This was silly. So he forced himself to simply be blunt. "I need.. heirs. We should talk somewhere more private," he said. His tone wasn't much more confident, but maybe it was better for them both to just say it. Fuck. Maybe he should have chosen someone he cared less about. Then he would feel less like he was using a friend as a vessel for his offspring. "One of the guest bedrooms, maybe," he added on, making it clear they didn't need this come into either of the rooms they slept in.
