first_in_time | Zagreus Sits Inside Your Head (for Splendid

Barbara looked out at the view as Ian put the last of their things in the car. From the front door of the little Bed and Breakfast, she could see beautiful rolling hills for miles. The last of the morning was being chased away as the sun rose higher in the sky, thawing everything out. Even the cows seemed more active on one particular hill.

"I wish we could stay for a little longer," she sighed to Ian, turning her back on it all so that it might be easier to leave. Her arms folded, one hand still held on to the key they were yet to return. "I don't suppose your car has a secret time traveling device so we can spend an extra few weeks here?"

Barbara shivered under his touch, and tried to wrap her legs around him more.

"You're so wonderful," she told him as her fingers raked through his hair. "How did I get so lucky?"

From:

"Same way I did." He rubbed his fingers against the back of her head as he pulled her closer for a kiss.

From:

first_in_time

She groaned in pleasure and hungrily kissed him back, her arms wrapping around him to hold him closer until she, too, came close to the edge. Barbara then gently pushed Ian's hand away so that they might take the next step.

Gently, lovingly, she rocked her hips against his until her core clenched and she lost her ability to voluntarily move as the orgasm took over. Once the last of that pleasure had drifted away Barbara collapsed onto Ian's chest and took deep breaths.

Ian followed just after her and rubbed gently at her back. "Now it feels like a honeymoon," he said, grinning, into her ear.

From:

first_in_time

Barbara laughed into his shoulder before turning to look at him properly. "Thankfully we can achieve this without having to go to Scotland. I'd hate to think of our bank accounts if we had to do so much traveling to feel like this."

From:

splendid_roman

Ian chuckled. "We'll just have to remind ourselves of Scotland from time to time."

From:

first_in_time

"Yes," she agreed and giggled again before kissing his lips softly, slowly. "We've lots of photographs, when we eventually get them developed, we can find frames to put some in and then we'll always have a reminder. Not to mention the photographs we had done for our parents."

From:

splendid_roman

He smiled. At least their parents would appreciate the photos, even if they didn't approve of their elopement. "To say nothing of the rings or certificate that remind us we're married."

From:

first_in_time

"Ah, the rings," Barbara smiled and propped herself up on his bare chest to look at the way her ring was sparkling in the dim light of the lounge room.

"You are very good at choosing rings," she told him, despite having picked their wedding bands herself so that all Ian had to do was walk into the jewelers and leave deposits as they got them.

From:

splendid_roman

"I'm glad you think so." He grinned and took her hand to kiss the ring and then the back of her hand.

Then he held up his own left hand. "They are very nice rings."

From:

first_in_time

She kissed his ring in return, then captured his lips. "They are exquisite." The rings were held side by side so that they could admire them for a moment but Barbara yawned and said: "I think I might go to bed."

Not that she made much of a move to do so.

From:

splendid_roman

He grinned. "I've worn you out." Although then he yawned too. "We can go to bed as soon as we can move." He was still feeling too relaxed to get up yet.

From:

first_in_time

Barbara was relaxed but she could move, and she lifted herself up from the sofa. She collected her clothes and looked back down at him with a smile. Her clothes sufficiently covered her up so that Ian could no longer see every part of her.

"I'll meet you there," she told him and trotted off to the bedroom where she took up most of the room in the bed.

From:

splendid_roman

Now he had to move, although he peered over the edge of the sofa and leaned over to pick his clothes up before he got up. Then he took them to the bedroom and dropped them on the floor before going to bed.

"Where do I get to sleep?" he asked, seeing as she hadn't left a lot of room for him. Not waiting for her to move, he climbed in one side and draped himself over her with a grin.

From:

first_in_time

"You seem to have found a comfortable spot," she giggled and wrapped arms around him. "I may not need my own blankets if we stay like this." Once again, she didn't make the first move.

From:

splendid_roman

"Well, I'm comfortable." He only moved as far as he needed to pull the covers over them, and then wriggled so he was comfortable again.

From:

first_in_time

"So long as you're comfortable,: she said and gently wrapped arms around him. Barbara wasn't going to complain about being sandwiched between Ian and the mattress.

From:

splendid_roman

"Good." If she wasn't going to complain, neither was he. He was sure that if she got too uncomfortable in the night she would move anyway. Or else move him.

"Good night." He reached out to turn the bedside light off and then gave her a good night kiss."

From:

first_in_time

Barbara held on to that kiss and let it linger in the darkness. "Goodnight."

By the time the sun started to creep its way through the gaps around the bedroom curtains, Barbara had rolled away and then rolled back again to cuddle up to Ian's side. She awoke and, after assessing the time, rested back against his side. There was no need to wake up just yet.

From:

splendid_roman

Ian was having a dream involving the leering Captain Harkness and playing cards ganging up on him trying to get off his head. Just as the Doctor appeared and laughed as he pushed Ian into a rabbit hole, Ian woke up suddenly with a jerk. He took a couple of deep breaths as he realised it was just a dream, and clutched Barbara a bit tighter.

Barbara looked up as he cried out and frowned.

"Ian, what's wrong? she asked and hugged him back.

From:

splendid_roman

"Just a dream," he assured her, his breathing going back to normal. He buried his face against her shoulder. "Just a dream," he repeated.

From:

first_in_time

Barbara kept still, content just hug him while he was so distressed but once he'd calmed after a moment of lying still, she tried again.

"What was the dream about? It might help to talk about it."

From:

splendid_roman

"Wonderland." He lifted his head and opened his eyes to look at her. "People and things were chasing me and trying to cut something off, I can't remember what. Then the Doctor tried to get rid of me by pushing me down a hole."

From:

first_in_time

"Well it's alright now," she said and rubbed the back of his head. "No one wants to cut anything off and the Doctor certainly isn't around to push you down a hole. Maybe you're nervous about talking with your parents today."
