Random bit from Rhack royalty/arranged marriage AU
@whatchamajig suggested this AU, we talked about it for a long time, and when I got to this part I had to stop talking and start writing.
What you need to know:
–Rhys was a prince made to marry Jack, the king of a neighboring kingdom, though neither of them really wanted to
–They haven’t touched each other outside of obligatory consummation on the wedding night
–Rhys is just settling into his new role in a new kingdom, and Nisha, Jack’s advisor, has been giving Rhys tips on “pleasing” his king.
–Nisha has helped Rhys get ready to seduce Jack; Rhys later finds Jack in his…study? I guess? asleep at his desk.Only did a quick self-beta so if you notice any problems I’d appreciate you pointing them out!
So. Here goes nothing.“You shouldn’t be here,” Jack mumbles, relaxing his tight grip on Rhys’s wrist but letting his fingers linger loosely around it.
Rhys swallows. “I know.” Jack doesn’t say anything to that, just squints up at Rhys like he’s trying to figure him out, anticipate his next move, and it’s so quiet save for the way Rhys’s heart pounds in his ears.
He takes a deep breath and moves, very slowly, to free his wrist from Jack’s grasp and wrap his own fingers around Jack’s wrist. Jack stiffens for a moment, but ultimately lets Rhys move his hand, guide it closer until it’s just slipping beneath the silk of his robe. Jack’s hand is warm and rough against the soft skin of Rhys’s stomach, heated and still just a bit wet with the oil Nisha had spread on it earlier. Jack doesn’t say anything, stares blankly ahead and leaves his hand still, until Rhys guides him again, encouraging him to move his hand across the skin.
