They lay basking in the afterglow for some time, and then Evie has a thought and stiffens; and he asks her what’s wrong, without letting go of her. She says that she didn’t think about contraception; and he squeezes her and reminds her that she was one of the ones who originally helped him come up with the temporary spell, and he cast it on himself while she was in the bath earlier.
She relaxes again, amused to herself that once again, he’s way ahead of her. She actually starts to giggle a bit and then says, “Is there anything you don’t think of?” He laughs and says of course there is; after all, didn’t she have to take care of the result of his mental oversight (not taking his potion) just a couple of months ago?
He pulls back and looks into her eyes again, just touching her face and enjoying the moment. Finally he says, “Evie – now that we’ve opened this door, there are a couple of promises we need to make to one another, because however much either of us needs this, our children need us more and will be the ones to suffer if things break down between us for any reason. And since we are not a couple in the traditional sense, the opportunities for misunderstandings between us are higher, at least right now.”
She looks at him kind of confused, not really sure where this is going, but he touches her face again gently and goes on. He says, “The first thing is that we must never take each other for granted. Just because you want me in your bed one night, does not automatically mean you want me in your bed the following night, and vice versa. So – both of us need to be okay with the idea that it’s completely okay to say no, and to understand that there is no rejection of the other in that.”
“Sometimes, we’ll just need some time alone, for whatever reason; could be because one of us has hit a sort of anniversary and our memories have hit us particularly hard that day, or we just don’t want the company, or whatever. For now, if it’s what you want I’ll come to you and share your bed at night, even if it’s only to sleep, unless you say otherwise; but you need to promise me that you will in fact say otherwise whenever you’re feeling that way, and not feel as though you are obligated just because it’s become status quo, nor that you’ll hurt me by saying you want to sleep alone. And you need to accept the same about me, to not be hurt or feel rejected if there are times I don’t come to you.”
She thinks about this, amazed at him for even thinking of it – once again, he’s way ahead of her but she can see what he’s concerned about, and why. She agrees, saying “Yes, I promise.”
He smiles and says, “The second thing goes along with the first, and it is that we will always be honest with one another; even when it hurts. In fact, most especially when it will.” She is confused by this one, after all what’s wrong with a little white lie especially when it is being done to spare someone’s feelings?
He sees the doubt in her eyes and says, “Evie, think about it; that is how resentment takes root and grows between people. Let’s say I ask you about doing something, and you have reservations about it, but aren’t completely honest with me and don’t voice them, instead saying it’s okay with you. I go off thinking I have your blessing, while you are upset with me that I made a choice you weren’t actually okay with, feeling that I should have known despite what you said. Every time I do it after that, your resentment grows; and now if a fight erupts over it, it will be worse and potentially more painful and hurtful than it would have been earlier, even if we’d had a fight over it at the time it was first brought up.”
“We’re both perceptive people, but Divination was certainly neither of our strongest subjects, we’re not mind-readers; and the only way we can keep communication open and be sure we are fully understanding one another is to be honest, even when it is painful. Most especially when it is, or will be.”
She still looks a bit confused but she’s starting to understand, and he goes on. “Because we haven’t really come to this as a couple the way we were with our lost loves, the automatic trust that we’re doing things and making our choices with each other uppermost in mind also won’t be there as it was with them. We’ll both be less likely to give one another the benefit of the doubt when one of us does something that hurts the other in some way, or confuses us.”
“So, we have to be honest, even when it hurts. Because if you always know that you can absolutely trust what I’m saying or where I’m coming from, because you know that I will not hold back anything from you no matter how painful, or awkward, or whatever that it may be – then there is much less chance of misunderstandings between us, and more trust between us as well.”
Finally she nods and promises, seeing the wisdom in what he’s saying. He’s actually humbled her a little, she always felt that she was the wise and insightful one; thought she knew just about everything there was to know about relationships between two people by this point, but clearly there are things she still needs to learn.
He smiles at her, caressing her face again and making the same promises to her also; and then gets an impish look and says, “Now, I don’t know about you…but I’m ready for another round…” He pulls her hand down to his erection as he says it; and she laughs out loud, enjoying his mercurial changes in mood, from serious to playful with perfect timing.
They begin to kiss and she climbs on top of him, guiding him into her and riding him slowly, enjoying him watching her appreciatively. This time, after she’s reached her climax she gets to watch him build up to his. She tries to tease him a bit the way he had done to her earlier, not quite as successfully but she thinks she will learn in time. The smile he gives her afterwards makes her feel nearly as good as the physical pleasure did.
Entwined once again, they both drift off to sleep; and she thinks to herself how grateful she is to have someone like him in her life.
