[Geralt hisses when Jaskier's nails go down his chest and he loves the scratches they leave behind, having helped get his shirt off as quickly as possible. He has a lot of complex emotions that he'd like to ignore entirely at the moment, and being lost in sex and desire seems like the absolute best way to get there. He loves Jaskier's heated body under his hands and wants to press him down onto the mattress, wants to fuck the breath out of him. He also doesn't want to think about Yennefer of fucking Vengerberg or the regrets she causes, either between them or with him and Jaskier.

He groans and reacts positively to every time Jaskier seems to be aggressive, moving with him, slapping his hands, straddling his thigh. Then his fingers go into his hair and he tugs tight and Geralt's breath catches. When he bites down on Geralt's neck, exposed despite himself, the witcher actually whimpers and takes it. He's insanely turned on and he wants Jaskier on him, around him, and then, shockingly, in him. This is a very rare impulse for him. Geralt is usually so dominant, but he feels that overwhelming sense of desperation for it. Maybe some part of him wants to be possessed, he wants Jaskier to wipe Yen and all the complex parts of their situation off him.

It's still difficult to admit to a want outside of what comes easily to them, but he isn't sure it's a want, but a need instead. Geralt exposes his neck more in an obvious plea for Jaskier to keep marking him, and he closes his eyes.]
Fuck me. [It's rumbled low in his chest, rasping, almost too quiet at first, like he's still getting used to it himself. It is not the first time, but it has been a long time. He grips Jaskier by the hips and then the thighs, lifting him off him for a moment and undoing his tight pants quickly. He isn't looking right at him, face flushed slightly. He gestures for Jaskier to wait as he takes off his pants, and then he climbs on the bed.

He intentionally and by choice gets on his hands and knees, glancing sideways at Jaskier. Presenting himself the exact same way that Jaskier has before, usually with some flirtation and wiggling just to be flirtatious about it, but Geralt doesn't have that in him. If Jaskier wants him in a way Yennefer can't, it's right in front of him, somehow nervous about it. Being submissive is not easy for him, mostly because his instincts want him to buck and be defensive. But he trusts Jaskier.]
I want you to fuck me hard like I fuck you.

[He wants to be driven mad by feeling and now there's a little smirk on his lips.] Or is that too much for you? [Is he going to challenge him specifically to get the bard to feed into his defiant side? Oh yes.]
yourwitcher: (oh really)

[personal profile] yourwitcher 2020-01-31 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is not something he asks for or allows easily. It requires control on his part not to overtake his partner. It also is very vulnerable which is uncomfortable for someone always in control. But if he wanted to find an in-between, a way for him to let Jaskier have him but be able to have power over their movements, he would have gone on his back and spread his legs. He chose this position. He chose to be vulnerable, to be the one looking like a dog in heat that Jaskier gets to fuck. He has a very nice arse which they both know, but it's also showing the multitude of scars on his back which Geralt is sometimes very touchy about. This is a gesture for him. They both know he can fuck Jaskier beautifully, but can he be fucked just as well? They'll find out.

He already expects that Jaskier will ease the way with oil, like he always does, both of them more inclined toward pleasure even with a bit of pain to it. It's for the best too because it has been a long time since he let anyone mount him, and he knows his body is not as open to it as others. When Jaskier slaps his ass Geralt groans loudly and humps the air in front of him, desire flooding through him to one place.]
Again. [He says throatily, so the next time Jaskier gets a chance he knows it will be welcome. ]

I will not change my mind. [But yes, he does know that if he wants to stop, he can make Jaskier stop at any point. Or ask him to, and he will. That's why this is a symbol of trust between them. Geralt wants this. He is not hiding his eagerness when he follows the instructions and holds onto the bedpost. He knows this means that Jaskier will have his body, every part of it, this will be his show for once. And for some reason he craves it, needs it. He wants to forget, and having sex with Jaskier gives him the ability to focus on anything but his thoughts. This is different. He'll be consumed by Jaskier, owned by him. Yennefer does a good job of pushing him around, making him helpless to her desires, and he is sharing his pleasure of that feeling with his bard now.

Besides, a part of him wants Jaskier to get out this anger and pain and take a piece of him for it. Geralt's legs spread to give Jaskier more room between them. His breath catches at the first feeling of aa finger on him.]
I'm not made of glass. [He snaps, demanding more. There is no doubting that he's tight though. Relaxing is not easy for him. He grits his teeth and forces himself to not make his more difficult. His cock is hard and leaking and he wants it, desire is radiating off him.

His back arches when nails touch his skin and he rocks back demandingly toward Jaskier's body and fingers. He would let Jaskier fuck him right here with no preparation, accepting the pain easily if it got him inside. His fingers grip the headboard tightly and his head bows, breathing deeply.]
I want you in me. Get the fuck in me.
yourwitcher: (what?)

[personal profile] yourwitcher 2020-01-31 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Geralt's only done this particular act with other warriors, people are rough and difficult as him, so he should have known that the bard would take his time, would want to torment him rather than give it to him straight. He growls his open impatience but he has no intention of forcing it either. He will stay in Jaskier's hands and let him run this; he made his choice. Even as his body is telling him to turn the tables, to take what he wants, he grits his teeth and pushes the impulse down. That's part of why he wants this too. Maybe to prove to himself that he can let his guard down around someone else. Maybe he's tired of being alone and broken and cold.

His breath intakes sharply at the first movement of Jaskier's finger into him and he feels like his skin is on fire. Tingling. Everywhere Jaskier is touching it lights up, such as when his body goes up against him and he leans his head toward Jaskier's hot murmuring mouth. Gods he knew the bard was hot, he never got enough of fucking him, but he might be impressed. Then he twists his fingers and Geralt's fingers dig into the headboard, hissing.]


Jask--- [His rough voice sounds like it absolutely was about to protest or demand more and then Jaskier slaps his ass and he groans. He is usually quiet in bed, even when he makes noise it's muted, but this one rumbles hard in his chest. He's done that to others before, who requested it, but didn't think to ask for it himself. The fact Jaskier just seems to know what he wants is baffling to him; or maybe he's so turned on that he can do almost anything and it will work on Geralt.

The irritated look he shoots over his shoulder when Jaskier removes his finger. He's supposed to add more of them, not pull them out, how the fuck is he supposed to get ready without that? If the bard teases him too much he will snap eventually and take it from him. He will ride that cock in a punishing form if he doesn't get on with it. That being said, golden eyes are confused when he sees that smirk, knowing Jaskier's about to do something mischievous.]


I am going to fucking st--- [Strangle was going to be his word and then his eyes widen in shock as Jaskier licks him. Geralt almost loses his balance in his surprise, scrambling harder with his grip on the headboard. He gives a full body shiver and his heart pounds so fast it is closer to a human beat than a witcher one.] Fuck. [That sounds weak at best, more amazed, and it is clear he's never had this happen to him before. He turns his head back to the wall and rests his forehead down on the headboard between his hands, gasping for breath. It feels incredible. Hot and wet and new and his head is spinning from lust.]

Yes. [It's all he can murmur out of little gasp-moans and his body is adjusting to this new sensation. He does seem to open up more now, relaxing around Jaskier's tongue and touch, almost like the surprise of it got through to his stubborn tension and he's just so fascinated to keep experiencing it. The problem is he likes it too much. There is a desperation in how he starts wiggling his hips and leaning back into it. A single touch from a hand on his painfully hard cock would set him off, that's how on edge he is.] More, I need ....

[Geralt has thought before that he would enjoy, someday, being able to fuck Jaskier without making the bard wince for a week afterward. It doesn't help that Jaskier's hungry enough to keep coming back regardless of whether it's too much. He'll be crying on Geralt's cock for the third time in a night and it's not as if Geralt can stop, but still. That will always come naturally to him, what he enjoys, how much he likes looking at the bard wrecked and helpless in his arms. But perhaps there are other options too.

His strength is something that occasionally he has to consider. He doubts they'll make it through this night without him breaking the bed at some point. Because of that he is more hesitant about smacking Jaskier, so instead he typically squeezes his body and bites, things he knows he likes. But clearly at the moment he is loving every slap; Jaskier being this strong and aggressive is really doing it for him. He will have to reward him later for it. His bard isn't so soft after all.

Geralt feels like he's a livewire, wanting to struggle away from the pleasure he's being given and into it at the same time. It's overwhelming, more than he expected, to be opened like this. The touch of Jaskier's hand to his lower back, the sweet caress that is clearly meant to be reassuring, is taken both well and badly by Geralt at the same time. He appreciates the thought while struggling with the concept that he needs reassurance. It is going to take time for him to get used to letting someone in, both literally and emotionally.

He's distracted from his discomfort by the feel of Jaskier's teeth on his arse and he really doesn't care now. Jaskier can do anything, ask anything, he's lost his grip on keeping his mind intact. Geralt swears and feels a rush of relief when the bard doesn't seem to be teasing, he's amping up his behavior instead. If he didn't have incredible stamina he might have begged for him to stop, but Geralt's three times as quick to bounce back as an average human. So he allows himself to have this. He lets the pressure and pleasure build until it's agony, he rocks back into Jaskier's tormenting mouth and growls, his nails digging hard enough into the headboard to make a scratching mark.

When Jaskier touches his cock it's such a sudden change from the new sensation of being opened and something so grounding and familiar. He whimpers and his control fractures, thrusting his hips forward into Jaskier's hand and coming a very short few seconds later. Geralt gives a guttural low cry that might be Jaskier's name and he bites his own bleeding lip, the copper and pain making it all the sweeter.

He breathes in a long shuttering sigh and then out again, his body loosened now, between Jaskier's actions and an orgasm. He hums, deep and content, and doesn't turn.]
That was good. [He murmurs, understated to say the least, and lets go of one of his hands from the head board to reach behind him and stroke fingers through Jaskier's hair.] Now fuck me. [Geralt has no interest in an afterglow. His hunger is not sated.]

[They've never really spoken directly about the things they do or do not like, because they do not talk about the sex they have outside of confirming they enjoy it. And it isn't likely to be something Geralt is ready to do yet either, it's outside of his level of comfort. Many things are, as Jaskier's sure to find out for himself, the closer they get and the more they experience together. He will never be chatty. It will never come to him easily to communicate or talk. He still prefers short clipped words or sentences. He still hates talking about his feelings. Especially with Yennefer's words so close to the surface of his raw skin at the moment.

He contently leans back into Jaskier, glad for the hands on his waist and he is hungry when he feels his bard's cock so close to where he wants it. Geralt's mouth goes dry he and he moves his arse back so he can rub it against Jaskier. He's begging for it with his body if not in words. Geralt needs no break, he needs the bard to be inside of him already. He's dismayed when Jaskier moves away and something about his posture stiffens all at once.

Usually, Geralt has no problem saying no. He says it sharply, firmly, knowing what he wants, knowing what he doesn't want. This is the first time he can remember where he hesitates, swallowing down the no at first. The problem is, if he says no, he has to explain. He does not want to explain. Geralt can barely put into words that he wants to be fucked in the first place, let alone complicated details like the fact he can't look Jaskier in the eye right now. It's not shame, it's emotion. He has to guard his eyes and he will be so focused on doing that, it'll hold him back. He will struggle with pleasure, struggle with feeling this freedom he's craving to let someone have him.

It should be clear by now, since he's not obeying Jaskier and yet also not taunting him as if it's a game, that there's something going on, whirling, in his head. It may show in when he does look at Jaskier, briefly, but has trouble keeping his gaze, and there's stone on his face again, like he's iced over or attempting to. He wants to say no but he doesn't want to explain, and he doesn't want Jaskier to be upset, both because of the no and lack of explanation. At this point Geralt has to have faith. Jaskier knows him. He won't push him.]


No. [He says. Geralt may not want to be fucked face to face, but he does turn to look at Jaskier, his eyes guarded. He crawls closer to him on the bed and grabs him by the back of the neck, tugging him in for a knee-weakening kiss. He doesn't care about the taste or any of that. He wants Jasker to know that it's not lack of want of him. Geralt pulls away and finally just says what's on his mind.] I want it in that position, and I don't want to explain why.

[He feels very tense at the moment and more than a little uncertain if this is going to blow up or not. Geralt really wants to keep it at that, but he is about to let this man come inside of his body. He can probably give him a little more.] No to this time. [There, that will hopefully communicate that it's not a no forever, but whatever is going on in his head, it isn't going to be solved in this moment.

That communicated, more than he really feels comfortable doing, this is all outside of his comfort zone and he really is doing his best. Every part of him is rebelling. Geralt goes back into position, hoping trusting him wasn't a mistake.]
Fuck me, Jaskier. [Saying please is far too much for him at the moment, but there is almost an implication there, like he's biting off the word rather than it not coming to his lips at all.]

[personal profile] yourwitcher 2020-02-01 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Something relaxes slightly in Geralt when Jaskier accepts without pressing for details. He suspected the bard wouldn't risk his chance at fucking him no matter what questions he might have, but it is reassuring to know it for certain. He relaxes enough for him to roll his eyes at Jaskier and his 'sacrifice.' He grunts in annoyance so he's back to that part of himself at least, and the joke does help remove some of the tension that was thick in the air around them. He didn't know until he said next time that he was going to let this happen again, but now it seems obvious that he would. Why not? If Jaskier's good at it, he doubts this will be the last time he wants to get fucked senseless.

The sunshine absolutely gets a sharply irritated look.]
I will toss your ass out of this room. [He tries not to smile and mostly fails, but then Jaskier's on him. Geralt's body is waking up again and he hmms in satisfaction, warming to Jaskier's touch. He likes the feeling of arms around him, clever hands playing with his nipples until they're to a hard point. He groans his pleasure the moment Jaskier's mouth is on his neck and he can feel Jaskier's cock there. It's hot and hard and he wants it.

Jaskier did have a way with words. Geralt hates how much he wants him to talk but when he's saying filth like that, the witcher can't do much more than breath steadily and nod his head. Yes he wants him to do all of those things, and while they won't all happen, the fantasy of it is very good all the same. He doesn't feel like it's degrading at all; he enjoys hearing all of it and the low rumbles and growls in his throat say as much. Not to mention he hears Jaskier's voice get deeper and he growls, frustrated.]


Jaskier. [Geralt's voice is throaty and low and angry, groaning when he feels Jaskier's cock between his cheeks but not going inside of him. He spreads his knees apart, bending down more so his back arches just right, making his arse stick up higher in the air, tantalizing him.] Fucking fuck me, right now, or I am going to lose my shit and break your lute over your godsdamn not-fucking-me head. [He's gotten properly riled up now and he jerks himself back, rubbing friction on Jaskier's cock.

Geralt's cock has started to come back, growing slowly with those filthy words whispered, but he's not getting harder until he gets what he's desperately starving for. He never thought he would be this much of a physical mess, pathetically begging with his body, and maybe he'd be angry about it another time. But the timing now is perfect for his ego not to get in the way.]
If you want to own my ass then fucking take it.

[Since he was only briefly in Yennefer's arms in comparison, he thinks it won't be difficult for Jaskier to cover him with his scent instead. He smells only him and arousal at the moment, and it's gratifying. Geralt is holding on by a thread and the sharp grip in his hair helps. It grounds him and it's tight and he remembers to breathe. It would be more difficult for him to break out of this hold and force Jaskier onto his back, riding him like he asked angrily, and when he finally, finally feels Jaskier's cock at his entrance he breathes out slowly. There may be a murmured thank the gods under his breath there.

It's been a very long time since he let anyone take him and while yes, it is slightly discomforting, especially since he is not good at relaxing, it's also perfect. Geralt likes a little bit of pain and his body stretches and adjusts to the intrusion slowly, but he moans his pleasure, his relief. He didn't realize exactly how much he wanted this, more so than he even knew when he asked for it the first place. It's hot and intense and Jaskier surrounds him. All of his senses, everywhere he can be touched, Jaskier is there. He wants him to dive in, he wants it to be hard, but he lets Jaskier take it his way. To start.]


Yes, fuck yes.[He makes a strangled sound when Jaskier moves his hips like that and the nails on his hip are a perfect contrast so the pleasure burning through him.] More, do it, more. [Geralt's hands tighten on the bedpost again, a creak heard, and he drops one hand from it, his other one sturdy enough. His thick arm hooks up and around, fingers digging into Jaskier's sweaty hair. He is not staying passive, rocking his hips back into Jaskier's cock, obscenely spread now for Jaskier to have him. His own cock is back to fully hard and dripping with want.]

Hard, I can take it. [His voice is low and rasping, strained. It isn't a surprise that the witcher's powerful body wants to be strung out and used. Gentle is not his way, whether it's him taking or being the taken. Jaskier feels incredible though. Geralt keeps his neck purposely exposed so Jaskier can bite him as much as possible. In his lust-filled and unfocused mind, he knows Jaskier doesn't want him to order. Begging is also not something he likes the idea of, except he is so deeply desperate right then. He's already letting the man take him like this, so he can forgive himself.]

Fuck my brains out. [Geralt grits his teeth, needing more, needing the sound of their flesh smacking and Jaskier's words in his ears.] Please. [The word is a beg, but not the tone Geralt is using it in. That will have to suffice. He makes the please sound like a demand, but it is a please, no matter how it's choked out.]
yourwitcher: (oh really)

[personal profile] yourwitcher 2020-02-01 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Geralt isn't about to ask Yennefer or any other witch to slow his healing down simply for the sake of hickeys, but he is happy to have them placed on his skin regardless. They won't last, but he feels them even through his thick skin. He loves seeing Jaskier marked up. Sometimes simply looking at his neck is enough to get Geralt hard, so he does understand why his partner would like it too. Jaskier will just have to keep making them. Forever. Maybe one will stick (it won't).

The reward for his please definitely tells him he should do it more often, even if it pricked his pride, because Jaskier is fucking him in a deliciously perfect way. Geralt can't keep his hand in brown hair, Jaskier hits his sweet spot with vicious aim and Geralt's hand is forced to grip the headboard again to keep him steady. He doesn't mind, he needs to be grounded with how thoroughly Jaskier's taking him and it gives him the strength to push back into him.

The more brutal Jaskier is the louder Geralt is, so keep at it, because his groans and snarls tell the story. Geralt's aggressively pushing back and then forward and the headboard is banging loudly on the wall, something he likes when it's Jaskier underneath him, a whimpering mess. Geralt isn't a whimpering mess, he's much more animalistic in the moment, nails scratching open the wood, his teeth gritting. He eagerly lets Jaskier's hands on his hips control him for a moment, enjoying staying still and letting Jaskier's brutal strokes take over.

The words barely make it through a fog of lust, he's confused by them. There's nothing in Geralt's mind at the moment but them having wild sex, and it feels good. Not as good, really, as when he's plunging inside of Jaskier, but still what he needed at the moment. His breath shutters and he closes his eyes, making a pleased rumble when Jaskier finally grips his cock. He builds up to his orgasm, or at least he plans on it, before the hand on him decides to halt it.

Geralt is shocked out of his haze, and he teeters very close on the edge. He could snap Jaskier's hand right off of him, force the bard on his knees, fuck him for such insolence. Except in his riled state he wouldn't be feral, and he wouldn't want that. He is flushed red and bucks back at Jaskier, a clear warning that he is far from as submissive as he may be allowing then. Geralt snarls at him.]


I didn't fuck her. [It's a hissed admission. Geralt did eventually plan on confessing, probably, depending on how easy he could brush it off without explaining. But he's angry about being punished for something he didn't do. Jaskier has no reason to be angry. Geralt wasn't unfaithful to him. Not that he would call it that, they aren't monogamous even if they've stopped having sex with other people, but still. He doesn't feel like explaining that when Jaskier is balls-deep in him. Stop being a fucking prick and come in me. [He says it and oh does he want it, licking his dry lips.]

[They will definitely get snipped at for this, but most people don't push too hard at a witcher, and a murderous look from him will keep from any taunting about the noises being made too. He likes it much better when it's Jaskier who was making all of the noise, it's something he prides himself on, but it's his turn and he hasn't stopped himself either. It would be easy with his control to bite down on something or keep himself together, but then he wouldn't feel this spinning feeling where he's embracing the ecstasy instead of fighting against it.

Luckily he has a lead on the monster they're dealing with here because of Yennefer, so they'll shut their mouths if it means he'll save their lives. And maybe have to throw in the price of fixing the headboard. He has some stupid hope that telling Jaskier in the heat of the moment will keep him from having to explain himself, as opposed to in the quiet of the afterglow, and that's his intention until forced otherwise. It gets him what he wants right then so who cares. He turns his head at Jaskier's request and it's not comfortable but he'll allow it. It's not as personal as face to face would be and he enjoys it.

Their first night together, Geralt was in complete control, he moved Jaskier how he wanted him, he ordered him around, and overtime it's eased, he's allowed Jaskier to make more demands and experiment with what they both enjoy best in bed. That is why Jaskier clearly knows what he wants the most. Between him being rough and hard, slamming into Geralt with the same kind of force he himself likes to give, and the scratches on his back, the witcher moans. He keeps murmuring yes, over and over again, sometimes louder and sometimes quieter, to spur Jaskier on.

What he said got Jaskier to touch him again and he could only let himself be dizzy with relief, thrusting into his hand and seeking the release he needs. The headboard finally cracks from the pressure of his fingers in it, not broken off entirely but that may end up in the cost of their room. Geralt feels the bard start to fall apart and gets greedy for it, rolling his hips back until Jaskier goes deep inside of him and the wood under his nails cracks in a different spot. He comes the second that Jaskier fills him up, hot and wet, and he whites out with it. It sounds like the rushing of white noise in his head and he breathes raggedly, head pressed between his hands.

Geralt isn't entirely certain why he needed this but he feels complete because of it. He feels like there's less of a weight on his chest, of words haunting his ears, and there's a certainty of Jaskier's life thudding around him here. Maybe it's because he felt out of control and needed to let someone else take it from him to feel better. Whatever the reason, he feels relaxed and soothed. He's come twice now and perhaps not for the last time tonight.

Typically he moves out of Jaskier just so he doesn't put too much weight on him, but the bard's weight is nothing on top of him in comparison. He leaves him where he is, contently humming with him still wrapped around him, although now he can release the headboard for real. His sweaty arm goes back up around him and strokes fingers through Jaskier's hair, gentler this time, affectionate.]
Mmm, thanks. [Geralt doesn't thank people frequently, but he is pliant at the moment.] For doing it my way.
yourwitcher: (serious)

[personal profile] yourwitcher 2020-02-02 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Geralt sighs when Jaskier gets out of him, but he knows that it's required. It's interesting, being on the other end. His very rare male lovers were rough, direct, and then it was over. Generally, that's how he prefers sex, or has always preferred sex in his past. He is glad though when he moves onto his back and frowns over at Jaskier. The bard is usually clingy after sex, although since boundaries were made between them he's been better about not doing that. Still, Geralt expects him to be closer, and he watches him, contemplative.

He isn't liking his body language. Jaskier is loose and comfortable, both in his skin and in their bed, and there is something heavy on him. Those piercing eyes he wanted to avoid are looking right at him, considering. Something is wrong. He should be acting smug and high on himself for getting to fuck the White Wolf. He should be teasing and making Geralt want to growl at him. His body feels great; relaxed, warm, well-used. But his partner does not seem as satisfied; in heart, if not in body.

Emotions are exhausting. Emotions of other people are particularly exhausting. Geralt's irritated at first; why does he have to ruin this? It was good. He gave himself over to Jaskier, let him take something he rarely does, willingly and eagerly. This is the problem with getting involved with humans with their squishy flesh and squishy hearts. Geralt is not healthy or knowledgeable enough to handle this well or know what to say and do. But he does know that Jaskier is upset and unhappy and he has to deal with that. This is all logic, but his heart also hurts in his chest, not that he'd like to admit that. It makes something whirl in his stomach, seeing unhappiness from Jaskier.]


I am not having sex with you unless you enthusiastically wants it. [And it is clear from his tone he is not enthusiastic about much at the moment. Geralt frowns and then puts an arm around Jaskier, tugging him close. He taps a finger on Jaskier's chin and lifts it, leaning in for a slow and searching kiss. His touch is gentle, his embrace tender. He wants his obnoxiously charming bard back. He doesn't understand why he's upset. He said he didn't sleep with Yennefer. Wasn't that the problem? He's confused enough that he has to ask.]

Why are you upset? I haven't let anyone fuck me in a long time, I thought you'd be pleased. [He hates that he's actually requesting to talk about something when it's easier to ignore it, and to have sex to mask it, as Jaskier offers. But that's what Geralt is comfortable with, not what his bard is, and he has to occasionally compromise. Geralt runs his fingers through Jaskier's hair, cupping his cheek.]

[personal profile] yourwitcher 2020-02-02 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Geralt doesn't need doting and he doesn't care that he isn't being stroked or cleaned or the like. He does like doing that for Jaskier after they're together, but he doesn't need it for himself. He is generally satisfied if his partner is, and if Jaskier didn't like physical affection afterward, that would suit him fine. But he knows that the bard enjoys being held and touched, so it is what he expected afterward. And maybe he's gotten used to it and had been waiting for the familiar touch of his soft hands or a playful joke on his lips.

But pulling Jaskier into his embrace seems to have helped and that eases some of his own concern. If Jaskier it, he'd be truly worried. He likes how the bard feels in his arms. Geralt listens to him, slightly paranoid that he's being lied to but he can hear Jaskier's heartbeat.]
You don't have to thank me for sex. [It's different when he said it, because Geralt meant specifically how Jaskier allowed him to pick the position when he wanted something else. He frowns and does settle a little when Jaskier's fingers move over the rough skin of his chest. That's soothing.

Ugh, so they do have to talk about it. Geralt acknowledges he put it out there to be discussed, but it's still uncomfortable. He doesn't like that Jaskier is sad. He listens to the rest of his confession without speaking, calm and impassive as usual (when he's not being angry). This entire conversation and situation are too complex for him, but he is going to try very hard to surpass low expectations. He is aware that they both were jealous and this has gone over to possessiveness which is unwise. He should have stopped this a long time ago. He should have never allowed it to start in the first place.]


I am not happy about this conversation and I would rather it not happen, but ... I see it has to happen. Talking is not what I do. [It's outside of his comfort zone. All of this is. Geralt would rather get some time to think through what he wants to say; it's more difficult on the spot. He keeps his arm around Jaskier and frowns, looking straight in front of him instead of at the bard.] I didn't sleep with Yennefer because I didn't want to hurt you, and I knew that it would. But she reminded me of something important.

[Geralt leans his head on top of Jaskier's, smelling his hair, sweaty and very him, closing his eyes. He can't look at him when he's talking about serious things like this. It's one of the details that will take time to change.] I can't grow old with you, Jaskier. I am not human. This may not seem like a problem to you now, but it will be, eventually. There will come a time when you need a different lifestyle and the things you loved about me and our life together will no longer suit you. This is something all magical beings learn eventually about loving humans and why we try to avoid it.

[He is speaking quietly and honestly, giving nothing away about his own feelings on it. These are simply facts. This is what happens with mortals and the long-lived. It has yet to happen to him directly, until now. He's never loved, well, anyone before. Hardening his heart and keeping it that way is far easier. The other option will only hurt him, and that's secretly what this is all about. Protecting himself from pain, from inevitable heartbreak and loss.]

If I am not yours and you are not mine, it will be easier, when we have to part. [Geralt kisses the top of his head. It's not easy, talking so much, especially about subjects he'd rather smash down. He is doing it for Jaskier, he is trying his very hardest, even if that means expressing tragic aspects that neither of them want to think about.] But until that time comes, I can promise you that I will have no one else but you. If that ... helps.

Good, you should have enjoyed it. [Geralt grumbles grumpily. It was significant, what he did, at least to him. It made him vulnerable in ways he doesn't feel that comfortable with, but it was a good time and he's glad it happened. Perhaps someday he will consider them being face-to-face for it, and the pleasure Jaskier gave him is a fairly convincing argument. He still feels the aftermath of it, the sting of the scratches and bites, the nice burn inside.

Geralt knows if he came back to Jaskier and had to admit he slept with Yen, and he saw the bard's devastated face, it would have hurt him too. It was only a brief few minutes of that in their rough sex, and he felt badly enough he admitted to it. He doesn't like upsetting Jaskier. He used to claim it was because the bard whined and pouted and was very annoying when displeased. And he still is all those things, but he also has a heart worth bruising and Geralt doesn't want to be the person to cut him there. He doesn't add that Yen and he will have a chance in another fifty or sixty years, if they so wish. This is his now, this is who he chose to spend it with. ]


And you could die with me here on the road. You probably will. You will eventually slow down and make it more difficult for me to keep us both alive. [Yen was right about that. He dies younger in your arms. He understands that Jaskier worries for him, but he is still a witcher, he is lethal and difficult to kill. His human is extremely easy to kill.] This is inevitable, Jaskier. There is no end to us that isn't tragic. I wanted to protect you from that.

[That is a key part of his reasoning with all of this. Why he tried to push Jaskier away, why he wanted to make lines for them, why it's been a struggle whenever they get closer. Yes, Geralt is protecting himself, because chances are he will have to live on and mend himself over it. But he is strong and can do it. He will eventually break Jaskier's heart. If he could stop Jaskier from caring about him, he would have spared him that. But it is out of his hands now. There is no going back. They care. He can't talk Jaskier out of it now.

He does notice the wetness and doesn't remark on it. The bard feels a lot, he understands that. It baffles him how one person can have so much emotion in them, but he simply ignores it. Jaskier is allowed to feel whatever he wants. Geralt's breath intakes as his mouth moves down and he sighs, running his fingers through the dark hair. He frowns after a moment and then tugs at Jaskier's hair, trying to get him to look up.]


You didn't say you won't fuck anyone else either. [It is assumed and he doubts Jaskier would be so foolish, but maybe he wants to hear it regardless. The bard is his. He embraces that now, makes it his own. He will break anyone who touches what is his now, although with understanding that them flirting with Jaskier is impossible to stop. He can live with that. Look and don't touch.] I was nice this time.
