Sage followed the girl willingly, a smile on his face. He chuckled slightly as she bounced along and then let herself into the room first before sitting on the edge of the bed. He had half expected her to go right into things, though if she just wanted to sit for a while, that was fine with him. He sat down next to her without missing a beat and rested his head on her shoulder lightly. He wondered what was going through her head...she seemed eager for all of, well, this ....but was she really? She'd enjoyed the cave, at least he thought so, but really they'd just been joking around, trying to make eachother blush. Did she really like this as much as she said? She seemed a little heasitant...was it just because it was still new to her while he'd done it so many times? It was it something else, like having Luther at the castle. What they were doing wasn't right, but it wasn't right at the cave either, so he'd come to terms with it, but maybe she hadn't. "You know we don't have to do this if you don't want to right?" He didn't want her to do this because ...well, he didn't know. They were dumb teenagers with even dumber hormones going to war in their bodies. If she wasn't sure she absolutely wanted this, he didn't want her to push herself...doing this when you didn't want to made you feel horrible, he knew that feeling well. He just didn't want Anya to feel like that.

Anya nodded slowly as he spoke before taking a soft breath. This was what she wanted... it was, and she wanted it just as much as she had that night in the cave... but... she found herself even more nervous than she had that night. It was strange, really. She was comfortable joking around about it, but this wasn't just joking around anymore. She eventually let out a soft sigh. "It's not that, Sage," she murmured, her voice gone quiet. She wasn't sure what it was, really. Something in her head had clicked, and it wasn't making things easier for her, not at all. She let a hand reach up and fiddle with his hair in an almost fidgety manner. "It's just... you know I love you, right? I don't wanna mess this up... and you've done a lot more than I have and I-" she trailed off a little, her voice getting quicker as she went. She didn't know where she was going with that... but it was all apart of a little web she had spun herself. She could feel her heart going stronger again, and a heavy blush painted her face as she spoke, "I do want this." She added finally, her fingers gently entwining with his hair.

Sage hummed thoughtfully and then chuckled slightly. "Earlier you were teasing me for being loud and now you're doubting yourself?" He tilted his head and kissed her cheek lightly. "Anya this isn't something that you're good or bad at...and besides, I'm new to this whole love thing either way." He was silent for a moment before talking again. "What I do at the tavern ...it's like being tied to a horse and dragged around and then claiming you're a rider. I don't do anything, and I don't enjoy it." He shifted slightly and sighed. "I enjoy it with you. You're doing fine. Just be confident in yourself." He wanted Anya to know she'd been wonderful....but how could he say that? 'Youre great at fucking me' wasn't exactly what he was going for...that was a bit blunt. Hopefully she would get the message.

Anya furrowed her brows at him slightly, before groaning softly. "I'm sorry," she whined with a quiet chuckle. He was sweet for going about this the way he was, really, but she had a hard time believing him. He had given her no reason to doubt him, none at all, this was all Anya getting in her head. The cave had come so easily, but for some reason, this seemed a little more... real. And she was freaking out about it. Sage's comforting words were a little easing, though. She tilted her head to him and pressed a light kiss to his lips, her hand still softly entangled in his hair. She then sat back a little and let an inward smile cover her face. "I know this whole love thing is new to you... thats kind of why I don't want this to go wrong." She'd be mortified if she fucked this up, which was more what she was going for with that. She wasn't much compared to the tens and hundreds of girls he must have at the tavern... but the difference between her and them was that Sage loved Anya. She had gotten him... and for a little while, until she got married and he went off to the tavern, they could belong to each other, even if it was undercover. Or at least, Anya would give herself to Sage the best she could until he left. She rolled her eyes to herself as she thought before shifting a bit so that she was sat on his lap, one leg on either side of his as she faced him. "I know I'm over thinking this," she murmured softly, pressing another kiss to his cheek, "but I want it... to be with you again." She gave a light smile with a airy chuckle. "Next time, I won't make promises I cant keep. Or else you'll make a liar out of me." She noted, a slight hit of amusement laced through her gentle voice.

Sage chuckled at that and grinned at her. "Please," he snorted. "Everyone lies to someone at some point. Besides it would be less of a lie and something you say caught in the moment." He was blushing now...a light blush, since she was straddling him..sitting in his lap. And her hands were still woven in his hair ....they were close, he could feel her body heat from where she was sitting. He knew a little bit of how she felt...she'd explained it well enough. But she wasn't afraid of this, and she did want it...she just wanted to be perfect. He understood that....it was the same reason he stayed on the bottom...it was what he was used to doing. Besides, he liked it with Anya....it was nice to be loved by someone he also loved. And Anya was good at it, even if she thought she might not be. He smiled at her and chuckled slightly. "You did perfectly fine in the cave, and we're not on a hard rock ground now so I have a feeling it'll be a bit easier, as long as your brain decides to let hormones take over again." The last part was a joke, he winked at her as he said it. He hoped that the humor would help her relax a bit ....as soon as she stopped thinking about it, she'd be fine.

The girl gave a soft giggle at his little joke. "I'm sure hormones will do their thing," she murmured, lightly pressing a gentle but drawn out kiss to his lips before pulling away again.. "I care about you too much to hold them back." She giggled softly before pulling him in again. Everything she did tonight would be gentle, though. Unless Sage took over, but she didn't really care what happened. She was so glad that it was him... not Luther, or someone that'd use her and leave, but it was Sage. He cared about her... she could hear it in his words. She was lucky, when she thought about it. He was probably the only person who'd put up with her meaningless worry. She gave a small smile before lightly pushing him back against the bed in a playful manner. "The cave was great... but I do agree that a bed might be a bit more comfortable. It won't hurt my knees quite to much." She chuckled humourlessly.

Sage could feel his cheeks warming once she pushed him back against the bed but chuckled at her words. She wasn't afraid of him, just doing something wrong, but she seemed to be getting over it the more she did. It was similar to the cave,,once she got over her initial hesitation, she was fine. It just took her a moment. And that was fine with him...they could go slow and enjoy each other. He kissed her back when she kissed him, a soft smile lingering on his lips as he did so. He was glad he could do this with her...give her this as someone she loved. She'd have to give the kingdom an heir, with Luther, someday, and he wanted her to be able to really enjoy it with someone she was picking herself. Nothing was wrong with Luther, it wasn't like he was a stranger or someone she didn't like, but she didn't love him...at least not in that way...he seemed more like she loved him as a brother than anything else.

The girl gently moved her hand form the back of his head and running them from his neck along down guys arms until she had a gentle hold of his hand. She wasn't pinning him, not like she was at the cave, though she supposed it would look that way.. not that anyone would know. She was just realising in having him with her. His warmth, his touch, and even the way he felt underneath her. It was all wrong, and it shouldn't be happening, and yet here they were. She was getting a little braver as they went on.. slowly, but surely. But slow was good... it meant that they could be together for longer. Maybe, after a little while, she could make their teasing come to life night for Sage.

Sage closed his fingers around Anyas. He wanted to enjoy the night...he was completely fine with taking this slow. It was amazing how comfortable he'd grown around the girl, how much she meant to him. He wanted her to enjoy the night too, and if going slower and nicer was more natural, then that was what they'd do. He had a feeling she wouldn't get to rough this time ...he wouldn't need to ask her to use her teeth this time around. But if she did, he wouldn't mind. Whether she got rough or stayed light didn't matter ...he just enjoyed being with her, doing this with her. She was warm and comforting, and he was glad to be able to have this change with her...in a nice bed where they could snuggle up under the covers after and get a good night's sleep. Going slow meant they'd have the night, and that was more than alright with him ..he wanted this girl...wanted her voice, her touch, everything about her. He couldn't always have her, but for tonight he was hers and she was his.

Anya let herself smile into his kisses, kind of realising how silly her worrying was. Sage didn't care whether she was perfect or not... that was all her. He was easy to be around... and even if she did mess up some how, he would probably just laugh it off... maybe bully her a little about it, but it wouldn't be a big deal. That was a comforting thought, and it only made her more confidant in herself as they went on. The only mishap was when she went for his shirt... when she realised they hadn't actually locked the door. She stopped for a moment, her eyes widening as she looked back. She groaned slightly before clambering off him. "Shit. The door..." she complained before wandering over to lock it. Of course something was going to go wrong... and it had to be the thing that started all of their silly joking, hadn't it?
