Chapter 8 - consummated (Kaze)

Today has been a rare day full of nothing but celebration. Since entering the war, Corrin hasn’t had a lot of chances to relax and enjoy herself, but upon announcing her engagement to Kaze, her siblings and servants were quick to promise her as much of a wedding as they could have in these hectic times. There is always a little bit of tension in the air, as they can’t afford to fully let their guard down, but for the most part, she is allowed to enjoy the day she pledges her life to her retainer.

When the war is over, they hope for a grander, more openly recognized union, but for now, just having him by her side is enough. And, when night falls and the celebrations finally come to an end, and she is able to spend her first night alone with her husband, she suddenly finds that all the exhaustion she felt as the celebrations wound down is disappearing, replaced by something else entirely.

Of course, she has no previous experience with anything like this, but she knows what happens on the wedding night. Sheltered as she may be, she is incredibly well read, and is more than a little excited to see where this night takes her. She closes the door behind her and turns to face Kaze.

“Today was nice,” he says. “It was almost possible to forget the conflict we face nearly daily.”

“Let’s forget it for just a little while longer,” she replies, stepping closer to him. “Tomorrow, we can go back to the world, but for right now…”

“Of course,” says Kaze with a nod. “Sorry to be so negative. I want to enjoy this with you for as long as I can.”

She says nothing, waiting for what she assumes is coming next. The mood must be perfect by now, so she’s sure that he will initiate things, but he remains silent as well, looking back at her, not moving an inch. At the very least, he could kiss her to get things started. She waits, and Kaze does nothing; even in the weeks leading up to their marriage, he’s held back in showing his feelings. He likely still feels that he’s overstepped boundaries by falling in love with her to begin with, which means that waiting for him is going to get her nowhere.

Corrin will have to take matters into her own hands tonight.

Stepping closer again, she presses her lips to his, and Kaze only stiffens for a moment before relaxing into it, wrapping his arms around her as he kisses her. She wraps her arms around him as well, keeping him close so that he cannot pull back when he normally would have. Pressing her body close to his, she hopes to communicate what she wants without having to say it out loud. Surely he knows what she’s expecting, considering it’s their wedding night, and all. Honestly, she’s wanted this for some time now, but could never gather the courage to bring it up before.

Now, she tries to show him, leaving no space between him as she prolongs their kiss as much as she can. Kaze makes a soft noise into her mouth, and she grips his shoulders, bunching the fabric of his shirt as she holds onto him. Finally, he pulls back, looking down at her with an expression she’s never seen before.

“Lady Corrin,” he breathes, “I…”

“We’re married now,” she reminds him. “It’s just Corrin.”

“S-sorry, force of habit.” By now, his face is flushed red. “Corrin. I-I’d like to...tonight, I’d like to consummate our marriage.”

He couldn’t have put it more bluntly while managing to not really say it at all, but Corrin finds that incredibly endearing. She nods, murmuring, “I’d like to do that as well.”

“I’m afraid I don’t really know what I’m doing. I-I get the basic idea, but…”

“Well, I don’t exactly have any experience to contribute myself,” she replies. “I know a little bit, so we can figure it out as we go, right?”

She’s nervous, but she can’t slow down now, and so, she sets to undressing herself, while Kaze blushes and looks away, as if trying to give her privacy. After a moment, his face turns an even deeper shade of red and he begins undressing himself, finally taking the hint. While he struggles to look at her, Corrin finds that she has a hard time not staring at his toned body.

“I’ve been thinking about this a lot,” she confesses.

“Y-you have?”

“Do you want to see...what I do when I think about it?”

There is a sharp intake of breath before he nods, unable to speak. Corrin lays down, spreading her legs to give him a good view of how she touches herself. She knows that doing things like this beforehand should make the actual act easier, especially for the first time, and either way, it is worth it to see how he shifts from unable to look directly at her to unable to look away. Shy as he may be, he can’t hide the look of lust that comes into his eyes, and when she moans, he shiver.

She can’t keep this up for long, her patience already so low from the beginning, and staring at Kaze while he watches her is just too much. All she can do is beckon him, telling him, “I think I’m ready now,” and he is quick to comply, straddling her.

“Please, let me know if I need to slow down or stop at any time,” he says as he positions himself, hesitating for just a moment more.

At first, Corrin  grows tense, resisting the initial pain, but she steadies herself, relaxing and allowing herself to get used to it. Kaze is slow and cautious, but when she comes back to her senses, she can see the strain in his face that shows he’s just barely holding back. Even once he’s completely inside of her, he manages to keep up his shaky resolve, but now that she’s had her chance to adjust, she is determined to shatter it.

Arching her back, she works her hips against his and he groans, surprise clear on his face. Even after everything they’ve done tonight, he likely still wasn’t expecting her to take charge, but really, she’s been leading him from the beginning. Well, that’s just find by her; he was her retainer before he was her husband, and has always dutifully followed whatever instruction she gives. It only makes sense that she has to help him through this, and just as she knew he would, he follows her lead.

That is when his resolve finally crumbles, and he loses himself entirely to his own lust. He can take over from there, no long nearly as concerned about caution as he thrusts into her, his breathing growing more and more uneven. Though they had an awkward start, he’s picked up on things quickly and, regardless of how little experience the two of them have, it’s good, much better than anything she could do on her own.

Reaching climax on her own is always a difficult task, but with everything she did to get herself ready and having Kaze doing all of this for her, the newness of everything and the excitement of her wedding night, she’s close in what feels like no time at all. Kaze does not slow down, groaning as he fucks her, never hard enough to hurt, and she gasps out his name once, then twice, before she comes.

Once again, she gets to watch his resolve shatter, his tension suddenly relaxing as he cries, “L-Lady Corrin!” She doesn’t bother correcting him for it, rather liking how it sounds in the moment, anyway.

His weight on top of her is comforting, as he struggles to catch his breath. Corrin is content to lay in silence, relaxed in the afterglow. Her exhaustion from her long day returns, and she is so happy to be able to fall asleep with her new husband.

“Was that...to your satisfaction?” he asks, once he has managed to catch his breath.

“Yes,” she says in a sleepy voice, nuzzling him. “It was.”
