There are many things Dimitri regretted in life. The lives he had taken, the harsh attitude he used to hold to others, the violent blood lust he once craved. All these regrets wore him down from time to time, he hated how he acted toward everyone and wished he could go back and fix it.
But at this very moment, he had done something he very much would regret. He was currently cuddling with Byleth in bed as they were both trying to sleep. This was their first time cuddling, every other time they just slept next to each other and left it at that. But tonight, they decided to venture further into their relationship and started cuddling. A good first step. Except there was one issue.
Dimitri had a boner.
Byleth's butt was pressed right up against his crotch the whole time they cuddled. Dimitri, bless his heart, tried his absolute best to quell his thoughts as blood rushed to what is now his erection. He tried his best to think of anything other than his wife's bottom, he thought of kittens, clouds, literally anything to stop his body's reaction to her ass grinding into him.
But it was not just her butt either. The warmth of her body made him feel induced and feel intoxicated. He loved how her skin felt against his and he caressed it gently with his fingertips. The smell of her hair was delightful, and he loved how soft it was up against his face. All these things, all these beauties that his wife had were hard to ignore. He felt so ashamed for getting an erection and in his wife's embrace no less. He felt he was making Byleth uncomfortable and knew he had to put an end to this.
He moved his body away from Byleth's butt and felt relief. But then, suddenly, Byleth moved back as well, pushing her bottom up against his crotch again. Dimitri blushed and was internally panicking. Why did she half to move into him again? He moved back again. She moved as well. He moved again. She moved back. This constant moving continued until Dimitri fell over the edge of his bed with an "Oof." Byleth turned over at the sudden sound of both the thud and Dimitri's voice.
"Dima? You okay?" She said half asleep.
"I'm okay." He said as he got back onto the bed.
"So... why did you move?" Byleth asked.
"Well..." Dimitri blushed even more. "It's just... my... you know... is touching your..." Dimitri failed to speak properly and his face was now a deep red.
"...And?" Asked Byleth with no reaction to what Dimitri was referring to.
Dimitri blinked in confusion. "You're not..."
"No. Of course not." Byleth cuddled up with Dimitri and placed her hand on his cheek. "Why would I be?"
Dimitri looked away in embarrassment. "I... don't know I'm just... I don't want you to feel uncomfortable."
Byleth giggled. It was cute seeing him flustered.
"Dimitri, there's nothing wrong with getting turned on. Especially around me."
Dimitri chuckled. He still could not believe he was married to Byleth. "I guess I'm just... happy to finally doing this with you."
"And I'm happy that you're happy. And there's no shame in that." Byleth reassured and kissed him deeply. "Now, cuddle with me, and if your boner grinds into me I'm fine with that."
Dimitri blushed even more intensely as Byleth mentioned his erection rubbing against her leg or possibly her womanhood. How is it that she isn't blushing as she mentions that? he thought. They cuddled up against each other, their arms wrapped around each other and their heads resting in each other's neck. Dimitri's manhood rubbed up against Byleth's leg, the feeling of his erection rubbing on her skin was making him feel hot. He wanted to grind even more on her but held back, he knew Byleth was not uncomfortable with it but still felt perverted to do so.
For the next ten minutes, Byleth slowly dozed off while Dimitri was internally screaming as his manhood rubbed her leg. Apart from him wanted to grind against it, to feel the pleasure of her body against his body. He would even love it if he and she could be intimate and he could be inside her, bringing her pleasure to her and himself. But that would be for another night. Tonight, he just wanted to cuddle and sleep with his beloved, nothing more.
Eventually, Dimitri dozed off with Byleth in his arms and both slept the night away. Dimitri was grateful for this life he had. He was grateful for Byleth helping him out of his feral state, grateful that she was there for him from the beginning and that even at his lowest point she never gave up on him.
He smiled as he slept, as did Byleth. Regardless of Dimitri's manhood rubbing her thigh.
