Warm, calloused hands spread the mixture over his stiff muscles and healing wounds. He tested the bindings reflexively, reaching experimentally to the releases and feeling reassured that the worked just as the man has shown him they would. The yogurt was cool and the tangy smell made his stomach growl. Aragorn chuckled somewhere behind him.
"Don't laugh, you bastard," Richard said agreeably, knowing the man couldn't understand a word he was saying, "It's your fault I haven't eaten."
The honey was grainy. He could feel it combined with the creamy texture of the yougurt. The man's touch was gentle, but every bit of pressure hurt and more than once he jerked involuntarily on his restraints. He had to admit that Aragorn had been right that he would need them. He dreaded whatever the man was going to do to tend the wound that he was so certain Richard would need to be tied down to take it.
The next touch was so strange that at first Richard couldn't identify it.
Then he felt the warmth of Aragorn's breath on the newly exposed skin, and the touch again and he realized it was Aragorn's tongue. Aragorn licking the newly applied salve from the skin of his back. Trackign the scars, carefully avoiding the new wounds. Richard opened his mouth to protest and all he could manage was a low groan, as Aragorn began to lap at him, thoroughly cleaning the skin of the tangy tart concoction.

Date: 2005-04-05 08:53 pm (UTC)Yes, there is more. The first three paragraphs have been languishing for, literally, months. Today I thought, those paragraphs need friends...
The Sharpe/Aragron project has been calling to me of late. There is more (http://www.livejournal.com/users/brainofck/10649.html) but you've probably seen it already...
