James didn't blink with surprise - from the moment he had met Zevran he had a way of sliding up next to you without your noticing. As always, he felt that pulse of warmth, that flush to his ears, but today he simply slipped his hand into Zevran's fine pale hair, twisting one loose strand around his finger as they continued to his room.
"Well, then I suppose I should let you bed me, so I continue not to be dour, hm?"
"Well, you do not need me to be less dour- but I do think you have more than earned yourself an Antivan Massage- and a pleasant ending to the same." He tipped his head to rest against Norrington's shoulder. "You work yourself far too hard."
"Well that sounds intriguing ... and relaxing." Two things Norrington had to admit he had a lack of in his life. He paused, turning the other man towards him, as they were right outside his door. "Perhaps."
He leaned in, to gently kiss the other man's throat, his voice quiet, "But I will show you that hard work does pay off in the end."
Zevran tilted his head to the side, allowing James all the room he might desire while allowing himself to relax a few hitches more. Human, yes, man, yes- faithful. Devout.
With that encouragement, James let his lips linger on Zevran's throat, tasting his way down to his shoulder. then up again. He gently bit Zevran's ear, before leaning over to open his own door.
Oh now that was cheating- and a cheat many did not think to take advantage of. Teeth on his ear? Wrung out a low hitched breath, his hands slipping from James' waist to his hips.
"I am not going to trip over armor if I walk backward, am I?" Not that it stopped him from nudging at the door and pulling James along.
"Zevran, I am a Knight Commander - my armor is neatly polished and hanging on it's stand." He murmured, as he shifted to follow the other man through his door, closing it behind him with a push, tugging Zevran back so he could lock it.
"And as I told you - there's little else to loose your footing on." He is not wrong. James's room is spartan - a bed, his armor, his sword, a chest of clothes and a number of books on a small table beside the bed. Another small table held a statue of Andraste, but that was that.
"We might have to do something to fix that." Later, he will think of something to give James later. For now he let his hands wander, slipping to the small of his back to massage the tension there. Now that would not do. "Do you have any coals to warm the room, or shall we make do with body heat?"
"There are no coals ... so we shall have to do with, ah, body heat." Which there was going to be no lack of, if the other man kept massaging him like that. He slipped closer, pressing his mouth to the arch of Zevran's eyebrow, then down the side of his face. Tasting salt and spice together.
"Knight Commander and you do not even have a coal brazier? Tsk." He clucked his tongue as he slipped a hand between them to start unfastening the laces of his shirt. "You need not live half so spartan as all that."
"A man should not ask for more than what he has been given." James stated simply, before he pressed another warm kiss to Zevran's ear, letting the other man unlace the shirt.
"And why is that? There is no sin in wanting a little comfort against the cold, empty nights." But then that is what he is for, shivering easily against James' lips, momentarily distracted from where he is attempting to undress the man. His hands slip and catch until he finds warm skin, sliding along James' ribs to nudge him closer still.
"I could absolutely agree with that. And I think I shall." He sighed softly, as he can feel those warm hands on his chest, and he does in fact, slide closer so he can move his mouth back over to Zevran's, pressing their lips together finally, so he can taste the other man.
