He'd think himself running more cold than hot, but Matthias doesn't find it strange. She makes him flush until the snow has melted off his bones and reveals soft flesh beneath the sharp icicles.
Although his heart pounds, confidence climbs his spine. She makes him brave enough to be vulnerable and playful. The drüskelle would think it such a sin. ]
Am I hot here?
[ Staring at her with his lips parted, Matthias taps his fingers against the pulse of his neck. ]
[ It's always a breathtaking sight to see him grow more comfortable with mischief and playing. His stoicism has melted away more and more. She giggles and leans in to brush her lips against his throat. She scrapes her teeth along his skin, but it's her tongue that traces at his pulse point. ]
Mmm, you're burning up. Hot enough to keep me warm in a whale hut.
[ Nina can act with the best of them. It's her way to tease that she's so exaggerated with wide eyes and emphatic nods. She bites her bottom lip as his fingertips trail down her arm. She wants him to touch her more. All over. His touch elicit gooseflesh along her skin. ]
[ It's a quiet murmur. He'll never be as good of an actor as she is—and he's poor at it now, his expression too pinched, his words not worried enough—but he doubts she cares.
He continues trailing his fingers along her arm, although he replaces his nails with his fingertips. Eventually, he palms her bicep before pressing his hand against her back. ]
[ She presses her lips together to keep from laughing. Mirth is dancing in her eyes. She gives a convincing nod of agreement. Nina lifts her body slightly to let him slide it off of her. ]
You're probably right. You Fjerdan men know all about the cold and how to warm up from it. I defer to your authority.
[ His cheeks warm and his body flushes, and Matthias hopes Nina doesn't see it. (Of course, she does. She sees everything, hears everything.)
With her assistance, he tugs her slip up her body, although he does so slowly. He suspects she's eager to be stripped of it (and he is, too); he takes his time.
Up and over her head, he places it off to the side. This isn't the first time he's seen her naked, but it's the first time it's been intentional. There aren't any furs; the ship isn't frozen. They aren't desperate to keep themselves alive. She's beautiful, pale skin blemished with pink. Nina is everything he's ever wanted. ]
You're beautiful.
[ He looks up at her, lips curved upward softly. ]
[ She's smiling up at him even as he strips her bare. He puts a smile on her face so easily like he's made to do so. Djel, the Saints, the Making. Whoever. They'd made him for her.
She stretches out and lounges with a hand behind her head while her other traced fingers up and down her flat abdomen. She's on full display for him. She wears nothing but a smile. Looking at him with his earnest gaze and awestruck grin as he gazes upon her, how can she not? ]
[ He flushes hot at that, immediately flustered. ]
Nina—
[ He grins toothily, shaking his head. Thankfully, he busies himself with stripping after he's rendered her naked. His gaze lingers on her body, cheeks red, his ears following suit. She really is beautiful. All pale skin and curves. It's different seeing her now. They were trying to survive in the whale huts. Here… they get to be them.
Boldly, he crawls up the bed to lie beside her, mimicking her pose, even though he trails his fingers along her arm rather than his abdomen. ]
It would be best if you did not say untrue things.
[ He's more than beautiful. He's gorgeous. Breathtaking. Never has her heart been so overcome with feelings until he frustrated her to no end. She watches him as they lay together. His fingers leave a trail of gooseflesh in their wake. She feels herself warming and aching for him.
Slyly, she covers her hand with his and boldly guides him to cup her soft breast. ]
[ His heart lurches into his throat. It beats rapidly in his ears like gunfire.
The last time he touched her like this had been purely accidental. The whale hut's furs were cold yet warm, and he remembers begrudgingly hooking his foot against her calf.
He thinks to do that now, but instead, he focuses on the warmth of her skin. He doesn't pull his hand back. He cups her breast, looking at her, his gaze soft even though his face is flushed and hot. ]
Start softly. Massage my breast first then-- [ She shows him how to cup her breast and knead the soft flesh. She guides his thumb to her nipple to circle it then flick it back and forth. She releases a low sigh. ]
Now pinch it gently. You can lick it too if you'd like. [ Her voice grows huskier and softer rougher. Just telling him how she likes her gets her wet. ]

But we're not in a whale hut, are we? We're on the sea.
[ And hadn't that been when everything began to change for them? Matthias trails the fingers of one hand along her arm. ]
I remember it being freezing. [ His purrs. ] Are you cold, Nina?
