From the doorway, Arthur watched as Merlin slept. He had waited a moment, letting his eyes get accustomed to the dull light in the small back room Merlin called his bedroom. Once he was satisfied he wouldn’t bump into anything as he crossed the messy room, he padded across to the bed Merlin was currently strewn over and smiled.

Reaching up he quickly removed his shirt followed by his britches. Within moments he was naked, naked and hungry for the young man sleeping in front of him. Hungry to see the body he knew was cocooned underneath the white sheets. Moving carefully, he eased the sheets out of Merlin’s hands and gently pulled them back revealing Merlin's body. The nightshirt he had slung up had ridden up during the night, revealing the firm rounded backside that Arthur adored.

Slowly he knelt on the mattress, pausing with each move, letting Merlin get used to his presence without waking up. Balancing on one arm, Arthur reached over and ghosted a hand down Merlin’s left side. The move made Merlin moan and subconsciously he undulated stretching then curling up into a ball again. Arthur smiled repeating the move loving the way Merlin reacted instinctively to his touch.

In a few moments he had Merlin sprawled on his front, one leg raised up giving Arthur the most perfect view possible. Almost drooling with desire, Arthur carefully and very slowly eased the nightshirt further up Merlin's back. As Merlin’s back was revealed, Arthur felt his control slipping. He’d planned a luxurious wake up call but somehow seeing Merlin so wantonly displayed for him was enough to make him forget his promise to himself.

Reaching over to the small table, he fumbled for the bottle he’d placed there earlier. Slicking up his fingers he rested one hand on the small of Merlin’s back and slowly started to tease the soft puckered entrance. Holding his breath Arthur slowly eased his digit in, amazed at how relaxed Merlin's body was. Within seconds he had two fingers then a third pumping into Merlin’s pliant body.

Merlin responded to his touch almost instantly. Soft mews broke his lips and, as Arthur began to twist the fingers and scissor them, Merlin’s body started to move. His hips came off the bed meeting Arthur’s thrusts. The movement took Arthur’s breath away. Knowing he wouldn't last long, Arthur slowly eased his fingers out almost laughing at the pout that appeared on Merlin's still sleeping face. Slicking his shaft up he took a deep breath.

Manoeuvring himself into position, he reached up and carefully eased a hand over Merlin’s mouth. Knowing Merlin’s habit for noisy sex, Arthur really didn’t want to risk waking Gaius with Merlin screaming in pleasure. Finally satisfied that he was as ready as possible, Arthur careful eased his shaft into the hot pliant body. The feelings surrounding him made Arthur gasp and as he started to move, he tightened his grip. His fingers digging into Merlin's cheek in an effort to silence the noises already escaping the sleeping man.

Merlin was groaning. He knew he was groaning loudly in his dream as Arthur made love to him. They were in the forest and Arthur was totally and utterly dominating him. Merlin felt like screaming with pleasure, the feelings of Arthur's shaft filling him, pulling back then ramming home enough to make him rock hard even in a dream. But then slowly as the dream faded, Merlin realised the feelings weren’t fading. The feelings were getting more intense more real.

He tried to move and found he couldn't, he was trapped. For a moment fear flooded through him then almost instantly he relaxed, knowing exactly what was happening. His eyes snapped open and twisting his head as best he could, he glanced back and found Arthur smiling at him. The prince’s face was flushed with effort as he pounded into Merlin's arse.

Merlin groaned against the hand clamped over his mouth. Letting his eyes flutter close Merlin relaxed his body moving his legs so Arthur could get a better angle. An angle Arthur was only too pleased to use. Lifting himself up, Arthur drove in so deep Merlin was almost screaming in pleasure against the hand. The feelings of sheer and utter joy coursing through him enough to make him light headed.

Within minutes he felt Arthur's drive stutter and then Arthur was slumping against him, panting in his ear. Merlin lay almost boneless underneath the now exhausted Arthur and smiled. As Arthur pulled out and rolled to the side, Merlin turned himself over and pushing himself up into a sitting position he gazed down fondly at Arthur.

Arthur smiled and reaching up he caressed Merlin's face, hs figners caressing the marks they'd left on Merlin's cheek. He smiled warmly and panted, Morning.”

“Morning,” replied Merlin breathlessly. He was flushed and smiling like an idiot unable to believe Arthur was really lying in his bed having just woken him up with mind blowing sex..

“So you like the wake up call I arranged for you?” asked Arthur stretching like a cat against the sheets, his body almost too perfect to be real.

“Yeah,” grinned Merlin, blushing slightly as he realised they had just had quite vigorous sex only feet away from a sleeping Gaius.

“I was thinking about giving you the morning off,” murmured Arthur gazing lazily up at Merlin.

“Really?” asked Merlin excitedly. As he realized what that actually meant, he gave Arthur a blazing smile and asked cheekily, ”So that means if you’re not too tried, then we can…” he trailed his hand down Arthur’s chest and let it come to rest on the firm hip bone.

Arthur smirked in return and pulling Merlin down, he claimed his mouth with a hard kiss, rumbling, "Yeah, it means I can fuck you for another 2 hours at least.”

Merlin didn’t reply, he just wrapped his arms round Arthur and returned the kiss with interest.
