Desha gave a soft moan as Andy combined cleaning him with a massage that soon worked out all of the knots in his muscles and had him nearly falling asleep again and raising his desire at the same time. It was a little confusing and embarrassing at the same time.
When he ducked under the water to rinse off and wake himself up a bit more he gave Andy another rueful smile, "As much as I'd love to carry through with the promise of that massage, I'm afraid I'd disappoint you by falling asleep in the middle of it. But after I sleep a bit more, I'll certainly see to it that we're both rewarded adequately, lover," he said softly and gave Andy another soft kiss as he got out of the tub and let Andy help him into one of the plush robes then wrapped a towel around his hair.
He gave another yawn and wiped at his face a bit with one hand, "Now I need to eat then sleep a bit more. My energy should be restored by tomorrow. I'm sorry I'm so out of it, Andy," he couldn't help the apology since he truly did want to spend as much time as he could with him and did feel bad that he was still so exhausted, "Why don't you and Michael take Rebecca to the market this evening while I sleep a bit more? At least it will give you something to do other than watch me sleep," he suggested as they both walked into the main room where a meal waited for them both.

Desha gave him a soft smile as he lifted the cover from his plate and set it aside, "Let Dancer work his magic on him. You will see a change in Valick after just a few sessions with him. Rebecca as well. Dancer is not a conventional healer but he can heal the heart and soul, which is where Valick's true wounds are. The scar he bears from having the spell removed is only a minor physical manifestation of his true wounds. Dancer spoke true when we saw him in the front room. Valick has allowed those old pains to fester in his heart and soul. Dancer will work at helping him heal," he said softly before taking a few bites from his plate then gave a soft sigh as he looked into the fire in the fireplace.
"I haven't always been able to understand my son and what he does. But I have seen the results of it in others he's helped. I've seen people go to him feeling as if their world is falling apart and leave him looking at their lives completely different. I've seen them go to him with rage in their hearts and leave with their hearts filled with wonder, love, and life again. I've seen them go to him with their eyes filled tears and despair and leave with hope again. I don't understand everything he does. I don't know how he does it. But I have seen it time and time again.
"He doesn't work magic the way I understand it or heal in any way that I can actually see. But he does heal and he does work a magic that is unequaled," he added just as softly, telling Andy something he'd never really spoken of before turning to look at him again, "He can help them both, Andy. Trust him to do it," he finished then focused on his meal.
He knew he had to eat and sleep for a bit more. He hated that he couldn't spend a bit more time with Andy but knew he'd have an eternity to spend with him now, something he'd never dreamed of having with someone before now.
So he ate his meal and drank the mulled wine that would help him sleep better then stood and gave Andy a tender and lingering kiss on his very tempting lips then caressed his cheek lightly, "Why don't you go and check on Rebecca, talk to her about going to the marketplace for a bit, and about talking to Dancer. I'll be here when you get back. Go and spend some time with her. I'm sure she needs it by now," he suggested in a soft whisper and gave him another kiss before heading back to bed.

Desha moved back up to place a light teasing kiss to his lips and smiled back at him, "I do know the feeling... I hadn't realized how much I miss having someone I could touch like this or having someone touch me. But I have missed it, more than I knew," he admitted softly as he traced his fingers lightly over Andy's chest, loving the feeling of those muscles and that soft skin under his fingers.
Then his face went serious as he looked into those lovely eyes, "But I have to admit something else," he couldn't resist giving a dramatic pause there, "I think I've become addicted to you. Especially when we make love," he told him absolutely seriously and leaned in as if for another kiss but paused just barely out of reach, "And I'm craving another fix for my addiction," he added in a soft whisper, hoping Andy would see the humor in his words despite how seriously he meant them as his fingers continued the teasing caresses over Andy's body.

Desha gave a soft chuckle, "If I enjoyed it any more, lover, you'd probably wind up killing me with a very happy smile on my face. You're lucky I'm immortal," he told him, knowing he'd see the humor in it.
As he rested just a bit, he considered the fact that while Andy had full access to his memories now, Desha hadn't really told him about how he'd come to be cursed in the first place. He knew he'd have to talk to him about it at some point, especially since he'd included Andy in the curse when he'd bonded with him. He just had to consider the right time to do so.
When he'd sufficiently de-sensitized enough to be able to move again, he pushed himself up and eased himself to the side of the bed before leaning down to give Andy a light kiss, "I think I can handle that bath now," he told him simply then lead the way into the bathroom on legs that were only slightly shaky and started the water for them both.

That was not a question he'd been expecting. So he had to think about it as he stopped the water and got into the tub then wet his hair and started to wash it, knowing he'd have to comb it out in the tub with the bathing oils in it in order to get all the tangles out and that doing so would give him the chance to think about his answer.
"I never really considered it before. I've had a child of my own, thanks to Mao. I've found a true bond with you that I never thought I'd be able to have with anyone..." he started, seriously thinking the question through as he started combing the tangles from his hair.
As he got the last tangle free and rinse his hair, he spoke again, "I guess... I think the one thing I've always wanted to do with the man I love is take him home to meet my people. I can't do that now since they've all died off, though... So the second thing would have to be," he licked his lips a bit nervously now that it finally occurred to him. He knew that Andy would do it, that went without question. But even though he'd always wanted it, he didn't feel the need for it with Andy. He was perfectly content with the way things were with them and their relationship, but this one thing would take it to an entirely new level...
"The second thing would be to actually get married in a more conventional ceremony. Something like a binding handfasting ceremony or something like that. Not the whole church thing since I've never been religious. But a simple ceremony, with friends and family to witness... That would be wonderful..." he finally told him as he reached for the other bathing oil to clean his body.
He went thoughtful again in the process and finally gave a small smile as he looked at Andy, "I guess a close third would be to go visit the other realms and make love in exotic locations," he added, only partially as a tease.

Desha smiled into those wonderful eyes and couldn't resist giving his all-too-tempting lips a light lingering kiss as he put both arms around his waist, "You are too wonderful for words, Andy, and I find myself wondering each moment I'm with you what I did to deserve to have you in my life," he told him softly and gave him another soft kiss.
He couldn't resist a soft chuckle, though, "I find it a little ironic that we are now going to be planning a wedding after I found out that another couple in the castle is doing the same right now. I know Cain is likely to ask Sebastet to perform the ceremony for them. How would you feel about asking her to do the same for us?" he added, finding himself a little light-headed in reaction to the fact that they were actually going to be getting married.
Admittedly, they were already Mated, bonded together at a soul level. But being joined together officially in front of their friends and family was something else entirely.
He felt so happy in this moment that he thought his heart would burst from it. He knew that neither had actually proposed to the other, but with their bond it really wasn't necessary. If they wanted to get married, and they both did, then it was little more than publicly declaring their love for each other and being bound together for everyone to see it and share in their happiness with them.
