Despite the chill outside the small house, along with the looming threat of snow - would there be a white Winter Veil? - Lettie stood wrapped in a somewhat sheer robe inside the living room, staring at the tree she and Rem had put up a week earlier. A sweet melody played from a carefully hidden music box, enchanted to play at specific times, and the lights on the tree - tiny flames encased in glass - flickered in time to the song. The blonde woman considered the tree for a moment, kneeling to peer under it.
"Not enough space under the tree," she said. "Guess I'll have to wait in front of it."
With that, she sprung into action, moving a soft white rug in front of the tree and reaching for a long, silky red ribbon. She discarded the robe she wore, draping it across a nearby chair, and began winding the ribbon around her body, between her legs and over her hips, and finally over her breasts. She knelt on the rub, shifting into a comfortable position and checked the ribbon to make sure it wasn't cutting into her skin - no point in wrapping herself up if she was going to be uncomfortable or hurt. Happy with her handiwork, she whispered a few commands, the ribbon tying itself off in a bow across her shoulder.
Now, she waited. Rem had gone out to buy something, and that felt like it had been hours ago. Surely her lover would return soon.
Rem was so excited for this holiday. They didn't have it back home, but she was happy to share her first big holiday with Lettie. She asked a lot of questions about it. The traditions behind it and everything. It would be quite adorable to see the usually very quiet Rem get excited by the prospects of the winter holiday and getting to do the fun activities that came with it with Lettie.
That's why she was out in the first place. There were a few more things she needed to get to make a feast for her and her lover tomorrow. She knew Lettie wasn't a cook by any means and wanted to do what she could to make a wonderful meal that she could delight in.
Thankfully it didn't take her much longer to do her shopping. She stepped into the entry way calling out "Lettie I'm home!" She put away the groceries she had procured. Though now she was a little confused. Usually Lettie would come to greet her.
"Lettie?" She stepped through the house until she stepped into the living room and saw her. Rem's cheeks flushed from more than just the chill in the air outside "Oh!"
She stepped toward Lettie the Oni's eyes unable to look away from the sight of Lettie tied up like a present "Is this another Winter Veil tradition?" She asked. While Rem was pretty sure this was just Lettie's idea she really could never tell with these new traditions.
[ ooc: thank you for your patience with me and my lack of tags last week. if you aren't up for this thread any longer, I totally understand! ]
Lettie loved holidays as they meant parties and celebrations, often accompanied by good food, free-flowing wine, and music. This was the first time she'd be celebrating it with an actual lover, rather than the string of casual flings, and she was looking forward to the chance to surprise her girlfriend. Hence the present.
She stayed quiet as Rem entered, biting down on her tongue to keep from giggling. She didn't want to give away her presence just yet. When she did finally hear Rem's footsteps approaching, she lifted her head, lips curled into a soft smile.
"Well, we do exchange gifts," she commented. "And what would be a better gift than me?" She asked it with a grin and a wink, her voice cheerful enough that it didn't sound entirely egotistical.
The gifts usually weren't so explicitly naked, but that didn't need to be mentioned. "I wrapped it just for you."
((ooc: It's alright! I understand life gets in the way. I'll actually be busy next week myself.))
That giggle told Rem that this was just Lettie's usual antics, but that's something she loved about the elf too. Despite her blush Rem smiled brightly "That's right. You're the best gift I could ask for."
Rem approached slowly before kneeling down in front of Lettie. There was a temptation to just unwrap her now, but there was another thought that crossed her mind. Without untying Lettie she leaned in and pressed a kiss to her lips.
While she knew Lettie could get out any time with her magic there was a sense that she wouldn't unless she had to. So there was something almost fun about kissing and touching her when Lettie was forced to keep her hands to herself for now.
A kiss wasn't entirely unexpected and gladly returned, Lettie leaning into it as much as she could with her mobility so severely limited. She wasn't in danger of toppling over, and the ribbon wasn't uncomfortable - she had made sure of that when tying herself up - so a kiss was just lovely.
But when Rem made no move to untie her, one of Lettie's long eyebrows went up, ears twitching slightly. "Are you one of the types to carefully unwrap your presents?" she asked, pulling back from the kiss finally. "I was never - far too impatient to get to the actual present. Didn't even attempt to guess what it was before just ripping off the paper."
There was a slightly deeper blush as she was called out on the fact she didn't unwrap Lettie right away, but she decided to continue to playfully stick to what she was doing.
"You just look so pretty like that I think it would be a shame to take it all off right away," she confessed her reasoning with a smile.
"As long as you don't mind I think you should stay like this a little bit longer," Rem leaned in to start pressing kisses to Lettie's neck. As bashful and quiet as she could be Rem loved to show her affection for Lettie.
"The ribbons are nice, aren't they?" Lettie asked, grinning at Rem and tilting her head back to allow her better access to her neck. "You know I never mind staying tied up."
Not that they often used bondage, but Lettie was adventurous enough to try anything once (and more if she liked it). Although she was impatient, usually, and more interested in pleasuring her girlfriend than letting herself be pleasured. So this could be interesting.
Bondage wasn't something that really crossed her mind, but she also tended to go along with what Lettie presented her.
Though now with such a tempting opportunity in front of her she was going to keep going so long as Lettie let her. "They compliment you very nicely. It really makes you look like a present."
Rem started to kiss down Lettie's neck and collarbone. She kept going until her lips wrapped around one of Lettie's nipples. Once she reached her goal she started to suckle gently, eyes gazing up at Lettie's face.
"I was aiming to be the best present possible, you know." She smiled, lifting her head again to wink at Rem. "Only the best for my darling."
Her blonde hair fell over her shoulders and she kept her attention on Rem's face, watching her lips. As Rem reached her nipples, Lettie sucks in her breath, releasing it slowly and biting down on her own lip to keep from moaning too loudly. When she meets Rem's eyes, she flushes, feeling oddly vulnerable, and stops biting down on her lip.
The wink earned a smile and blush from Rem "You're too good to me Lettie." Being called things like darling and such were easy ways to make Rem's heart flutter.
Normally Rem wouldn't be particularly greedy and often didn't think too hard about her own needs, not that Lettie ever left her unsatisfied anyway. At this moment however with Lettie's permission she found herself being more bold.
Her expression seemed to change to something less docile and more focused as she pulled back from Lettie's nipple. "Okay then I'll enjoy my present," her tone was chipper if a little breathy.
Rem tucked Lettie's hair behind her ear before leaning in to give it a very gentle nip. Being so close she whispered sweetly into it "I wish you wouldn't try to muffle your voice. It's so beautiful and I want to hear more of it."
After making her desires known she wasted little time in returning to sucking on her nipple, much more eagerly this time, while her hand stroked up and down Lettie's side.
(( ooc: responding to things after some personal/health issues came up, if you are interested in continuing. ))
Unused to actually being tied up for long, and unused to not being able to touch or do anything to Rem in return, Lettie was honestly at something of a loss. It probably would have been easy for her to escape the ribbons, but she didn't want to ruin Rem's present, so she didn't put her magic to good use.
But she could wriggle and arch, which was what she did, pressing closer to Rem's mouth and into her hand. "Well then, love, if you want to hear more...," she teased, her words huskier than usual. This was an oddly intimate thing for her, but she wanted to make her lover happy - and she did like feeling Rem's lips on her breasts, her nipples already hard nubs beneath Rem's tongue.
"I think it's you being too good to me this time," she told the Oni. "But if you're enjoying your gift, I shan't complain."
(ooc: Welcome back. I'm glad you'd like to continue. I hope you're doing well now.)
Rem's smile was practically permanently spread on her face. She was truly happy in this moment. "That's right, I'm very much enjoying my lovely gift."
Without warning she suddenly pressed her lips to Lottie's neck and began to lick, nibble and suckle all along it. Meanwhile one of her hands trailed down the elf's body until it was between her legs. For now all she would do is stroke the outside of her pussy.
"I don't like being totally selfish though, even when I'm getting a gift. So I want you tell me how you want it. Fast or slow?" She could probably guess which way Lottie wanted it, but there was something hot about hearing her girlfriend say her desires.
(( ooc: thanks! doing much better now, thankfully. I'm glad you're up for continuing. ))
Lettie gasped as Rem's hand slid between her thighs; she hadn't been expecting that so quickly. She couldn't really part her legs that much, considering the ribbons, but at least she hadn't tied them so tightly her thighs were clenched together.
Even as she wriggled against Rem's hand, she considered the question. Fast would be her usual preference, and it even lingered on the tip of her tongue. But before she could say that, she shook her head, grinning up at her girlfriend. "I want you to go slow. Be selfish tonight."
That was a surprise to Rem and it showed, but she smiled happily after a moment. "Okay then I'll be as selfish as I like. Though it might mean you are going to be like this for a while. If you get sore from this I promise to give you a massage tomorrow."
With that she began. First pressing one finger into Lettie and then a second. Rem was exceedingly familiar with Lettie's body at this point so she found Lettie's g-spot rather quickly. When she did she pressed her fingers to the rough patch of nerves and began to massage it almost teasingly slow, but insistently.
Thanks to the bonds Lettie wouldn't be able to force her to go any more intensely or stop what she was doing. She just had to enjoy the slow build up while Rem gazed down at her lovingly, watching every little reaction she had.
Flexing her long, slender fingers, Lettie murmured a simple spell, a ball of flame appearing in her palm a moment later. She let it flicker long enough to warm her palms - a good thing for the magistrix, always running cold - before curling her hand in, the flame disappearing. She glanced at the lute in her lap, only to pic it up and set it aside for the day; inspiration was decidedly gone for the afternoon.
Untangling her skirts from her legs as she rose, the elven woman walked out of the small study she used as a music room -- magically enchanted to be mostly soundproof -- only to wander aimlessly through the house, looking for her girlfriend. She discovered Rem in the perfect place: the bedroom, bent over as she made the bed.
"You really shouldn't bother with that," she commented, approaching from behind, taking in the cute sight of Rem's posterior, framed by her skirts. "We just end up messing it up later."
Despite them being long past the point where they even entertained that Rem was just Lettie's maid Rem still wore the outfit while doing housework. It helped that Lettie enjoyed how she looked in it so she was more than happy to be eye-candy for her girlfriend.
Hearing Lettie enter and speak up she took a moment to finish her work and then stood up. "Oh! Hello Lettie. I know we use it every day, but a clean house just feels better." She turned to smile at Lettie "I want to make things as comfortable for you as I can."
It was Rem's default answer for everything. She always had Lettie's comfort in mind. Really anything Lettie didn't just magically do before Rem could get to it got done by Rem. The cooking, the cleaning, the laundry. With how much of a work-horse the Oni was Lettie barely had to do anything herself.
It was a good thing, too. Lettie's skills did not lie in the mundane; if left to her own devices, she used magic to clean or hired out help -- in fact, that had been the initial reason Rem came to stay with her.
It had changed since their first meeting.
"I'm perfectly fine with a rumpled bed," she said, approaching Rem. Which was true, although she did appreciate actually climbing into a freshly made bed, but she wasn't going to admit to that at the moment.
"Even still I like to make the house as nice as I can," she was just about finished by the time Lettie approached her.
Having Lettie request she take a break she decided in favor of it. Occasionally she had to put her foot down that things needed to be done, but she was actually ahead of her work. "I guess I can for a little while."
Rem stood up and turned to Lettie with a warm smile "Was there something specific you wanted to do with me?" Even before they became a couple Rem did stop her work fairly often to keep Lettie company.
Lettie liked the attention; thrived on it, in fact. It was one of the reasons why getting up in front of a group of people and singing was no issue for her, and why she'd quickly strike up conversations at taverns and inns. So, left alone in a house and not distracted by her music, Lettie often hounded Rem to entertain her or keep her company. And after they'd become a couple, it was just that much more encouraging.
"We could take a nap on that bed," she said, looking at the bed for a moment. "Or...." She trailed off, an innocent expression crossing her face. "You've worked oh so hard, I could give you a massage."
Some might find Lettie high-maintenance, but Rem knew better. While Lettie did demand a lot of attention the lovely woman always made sure to return it in kind. Once you got to know her Rem knew Lettie could be sweet and caring.
However she wasn't expecting Lettie's suggestion. She felt a touch of warmth coming to her face turning it a bit pink. "O-Oh? Are you sure? I mean I wouldn't mind..." Really it sounded very nice. As much as she wouldn't state it outright Rem couldn't picture herself passing on an opportunity for Lettie to show her any kind of affection.
Even in those instances where she tried to put her foot down that she needed to get work done Lettie would discover she could use the dirty tactic of kissing and caressing Rem to change her mind. The only thing that would probably stop Lettie from doing it all the time was the inevitable scrambling to get all that missed work done.
Lettie knew she was high-maintenance, but it never concerned her before, and it wasn't about to start. It went along, she supposed, with being an elf. At least she was nowhere near as demanding as some of her peers.
Her grin turned slightly more delighted as Rem blushed and she had to bite down on her lip to keep a giggle at bay. "Why don't you undress for me," she told the oni, brushing her hand against Rem's cheek and leaning in for a quick kiss. "I'll be right back."
She disappeared out of the room, returning moments later carrying a vial of oil, something sweet smelling and designed to relax the muscles.
Hearing that request along with the kiss made Rem's blush much worse "O-of course." She never minded being naked in front of Lettie, but the attention was still something she had to get used to. Lettie would find that while Rem was embarrassed to start once she got into it Rem lost most of that inhibition.
Just as requested Rem took off the maid uniform she typically wore. By the time Lettie was back Rem was bare for her. Despite any impulses to cover up Rem's arms remained at her side.
"So should I lay on the bed or did you stealthily buy a massage table when I wasn't looking?" She was mostly teasing, but you never totally knew with Lettie.
"You would have known if I'd done that, darling," Lettie said as she returned. She knew Rem was mostly teasing, but she had considered it. "I'd have to rearrange the rooms if I had gotten a massage table. I have considered it, though." She grinned at her girlfriend with a wink, waving her toward the bed. "On your stomach."
She busied herself with rolling up her sleeves, then reconsidering and stripping off her top, leaving her in a light chemise and skirts. It meant she didn't need to worry about sleeves getting in her way. As Rem settled on the bed, she poured a generous amount of the massage oil in her hands, rubbing them together to warm the oil.
Rem smiled at that "Well you do tend to surprise me from time to time." Really she wouldn't be entirely shocked if she somehow made one appear with magic.
She obediently did as she was asked. Rem laid out on her stomach, arms at her side and head tilted to look at the side of the bed Lettie would use unless she decided to do the massage by straddling her or something else.
Even if she was happy and enjoying her relationship with Lettie it was a bit embarrassing to be out on display like this. Her cheeks were going to be permanently pink for a while.
"Only good surprises, though," she teased. "If I did bring in a massage table, I'd talk to you about it first, at least to figure out where to put it."
Lettie rubbed her hands together, making sure the oil was warm to the touch before placing her hands on Rem's back. "How are you feeling, darling?" she asked as she ran her fingers down Rem's back lightly, then back up, applying a little more pressure before setting on her shoulders. "Any particular spot you'd like me to work on?"
A soft noise left Rem's mouth as she feels Lettie's warm, oiled hands place themselves on her back. It already felt good. Not that this was any surprise, Lettie was always quite good at this.
She considered Lettie's question "I've been a little sore lately. If you were going to put extra effort anywhere I think it should be my lower back and my legs." Really neither place should be a surprise with all the running around and heavy lifting she did in her day to day tasks.
"Though... It may sound selfish, but I think it would be a shame for you to go to this effort and not do a fully body massage." This was definitely not something Rem would say when they first started dating. Now though she only said it with slight embarrassment.
Rem's response delights her; Lettie grins, although Rem can't see it; the delight is evident in her voice. "It's not selfish, darling. You do deserve a full body massage, considering all the work you do around here."
She deliberately sticks to Rem's upper back and arms for the moment, working out any knots she finds, and making sure she's completely relaxed before sliding her hands further down. "You should let me pamper you more often."
She can hear Lettie's delight and it makes it easier to give in to this indulgence. She tried her best to take care of all of Lettie's needs, but sometimes she let the elf pamper her. It helped that Lettie clearly liked doing things like this as well.
When Lettie loosens a particularly tense knot in Rem's back she lets out a soft moan and her back arches briefly. Her face reddens a bit at this, but she doesn't acknowledge it beyond that.
"Mm it feels nicer when it's something special though." While Lettie in turn couldn't see her face there was an a-typical mischief in her tone "Maybe I can be talked into one day a week that's just for us though."

"Any particular spot you'd like me to work on?"

She considered Lettie's question "I've been a little sore lately. If you were going to put extra effort anywhere I think it should be my lower back and my legs." Really neither place should be a surprise with all the running around and heavy lifting she did in her day to day tasks.
"Though... It may sound selfish, but I think it would be a shame for you to go to this effort and not do a fully body massage." This was definitely not something Rem would say when they first started dating. Now though she only said it with slight embarrassment.

She deliberately sticks to Rem's upper back and arms for the moment, working out any knots she finds, and making sure she's completely relaxed before sliding her hands further down. "You should let me pamper you more often."

When Lettie loosens a particularly tense knot in Rem's back she lets out a soft moan and her back arches briefly. Her face reddens a bit at this, but she doesn't acknowledge it beyond that.
"Mm it feels nicer when it's something special though." While Lettie in turn couldn't see her face there was an a-typical mischief in her tone "Maybe I can be talked into one day a week that's just for us though."
