By the time they emerge from the tailor's, the afternoon sun is high in the sky, and the city is teeming with activity. They're already near the part of the city Dorian wants to be in, and the shops and bazaar he has in mind are just a few streets away.

"I happen to know of a few merchants who specialize in northern imports," he smiles, walking close to Bull's side. "Doubtless you're already aware, given that you are more familiar with the city than I am," he continues, "but I thought we might stop by. I also have a few cosmetics I'd like to collect, as well as some ingredients." His lips quirk. "Including cloves for the horn balm you prefer."

"It only stands to reason," Dorian smirks, "that I could make a more fragrant salve than your company medic. The lot of you would smell better, otherwise."

And rubbing it into Bull's horns for him has become a ritual he enjoys very much. It pleases him to do that for Bull, and it fills him with satisfaction to catch the lingering scent of cloves on him for some time afterward.

Playfully, Dorian lets his shoulder lean into Bull's arm, glancing up at him side-long. "Oh? Anything you might recommend? I'm certain the Orlesians have any number of clandestine shops stocked with tasteless curiosities."

Something about the way Bull smirks like that is deeply appealing. The knowing curve of his lips, the playful glint in his eye--something flips in the vague proximity of Dorian's stomach. Damn him.

"Well, we're a pair, aren't we?" Dorian challenges, knowing what Bull must be implying. There are such places in Minrathous too, of course. Orlesians hardly have a monopoly on decadent novelties. In fact, he'd venture to say that he's probably seen stranger ones in Tevinter, where the addition of magic makes everything that much more interesting.

He only realizes after he's said it, of course, exactly what he's so casually implied. He'd only meant that the two of them are together now, of course, and not necessarily that they are...paired in any other sense. But that isn't what it sounds like. He doesn't correct himself for fear of making things even more awkward by drawing attention to his faux pas.

And just like that, Dorian's worries are proven to be ridiculous. Bull agrees with him seemingly without a second thought. The swell of affection Dorian feels in response is probably incongruous with what Bull actually means, but he can't conceal his delight. He grins up at Bull, and gladly remains near him as they walk together.

The shop itself is inconspicuous, as expected, but Dorian gleans all he needs to know simply from those lingering nearby. He gives a surreptitious smirk as they part for Bull with soft murmurs. Inside the light is tastefully low, but the wares are displayed blatantly--obscenely, one might say. Dorian finds it more amusing than anything. He turns his nose up at the multitude of cocks and harnesses, quite confident that none could be more appealing than Bull's. With that big hand covering the small of his back, he's feels that he's in a good position to be discerning.

It's the ropes that first draw his attention and hold it. There are so many colors, and when he reaches out to curiously touch one, it's far softer than he expected. He's no stranger to rope, but these are both sturdier and lovelier than any he's used in the past.

"Oh?" Even as he asks, Dorian feels as though he'd already known that, somehow--that this was something Bull likes, that he's experienced with. Something to do with the ropes he occasionally ties to wear as armor. The idea is...appealing. Very much so. And there's that smirk again.

"I look good in rope," Dorian ventures, and reaches out to place his own hand over Bull's where he rubs the strand between this fingers. "If you had an interest in tying me up, you might have mentioned it sooner."

Something about this feels significant. Perhaps it's the careful way that that Bull looks at him, both intently and with apparent affection.

"Why those colors?" Dorian certainly isn't denying that they would look good, but he's curious about why Bull thinks so, and as to whether there's any significance beyond the obvious. His hand remains on Bull's much larger one, thumb stroking across his scarred knuckles.

"I see." Dorian's smile is fond, and more than a little pleased as he recognizes the Qunlat. "I agree, actually. And I expect to be tied in them at your earliest convenience." Smiling, he leans close to let his lips press to Bull's chest, which is as near as he can get to his mouth without actually going up on his tip-toes and dragging him down by his horns.

Without any fuss, Dorian slips his hand into Bull's, interlacing their fingers. There's something about the idea of purchasing things like this together--to be used together, implying that they'll be together for some time to come--that makes him bold.

"Let's keep looking, shall we?"

Bull's chuckle draws Dorian's attention, and his laugh isn't quite as quiet. He snorts outright, leaning against Bull as he looks over the supposed Qunari model. "Hmmm," he hums, false consideration. "I could point out a few distinct inaccuracies." He glances sidelong up at Bull, a smirk playing over his lips. "I consider myself rather an expert."

The size is fine for a Qunari slightly smaller than Bull, perhaps, but there are a few things notably missing--everything that makes the shape distinct from a human, in fact. "A shame, really. There's far more to like than just the size."

The direction Bull turns them in holds even more of interest: leather goods, including cuffs, other bindings, tools for impact play, and circlets of various sizes that tie tightly closed, which Dorian recognizes at once as cock rings. He's done his fair share of experimentation over the years.

"What? Here?" Dorian sounds dubious, but there's something deeply appealing about Bull asking him to talk dirty here and now. He licks his lips, wetting them. When he speaks, he keeps his voice low--there's a real risk of being overhead--and stays as close to Bull as he can. "I suppose the most notable thing is the way it curves up at the end--or rather, the way their model doesn't. When I'm sitting on your cock or you're fucking me from behind, that angle is...exactly what I need."

He's never had to explain this sort of thing aloud before, and his face is heating gradually with a sort of excited embarrassment. But Bull had asked, and he doesn't feel inclined to stop. He'll praise his cock as much as he likes.

"The head of yours is wider, and thicker, and more rounded--and I feel that every time you move inside me, pressed against every damned spot that drives me mad, whether you mean to or not." His teeth rake briefly across the fullness of his lower lip. "Did you know that I've never had a man before who could make me come just by fucking me? Not until you." Almost shyly, he meets Bull's eye, but there's a brightness in Dorian's gaze--arousal and something else. "Just beneath the head there are these--oh, ridges, I suppose, that get so full and swollen when you're hard. I love how they feel on my tongue, but I love how they feel grinding inside me even more. And you get wider around the base, thicker--enough to stretch me that much further when you bury yourself all the way inside, just when I think I can't possibly open more for you." Almost wistfully, he murmurs, "But it feels so good, Bull, that stretch. Makes me want to be full of you for hours." And all this talk of it is making him want to be full of him right now. "And that is where they were wrong, and why I think that I shall perhaps never be quite satisfied by a human man again."

The intensity of Bull's gaze is overwhelming. The tension between them is palpable, and Dorian gets the sense that if he thought it would be permissible, Bull would be sweeping him off his feet to press him against the wall right now. Maker, even the restraint it must take to not do that is deeply attractive. They're so close, his chest pressed flush to Bull's bare skin. Dorian gazes up at him, flushed and adoring, like he'd be content if there was nothing in the world but the Bull. Even the slight touch of his fingers along his bare arm makes Dorian's heart beat faster, his breath hitch. His eyes grow darker as heat trails through him.

By the time his fingers trail over his face--and then trace the shape of his mouth--he has to keep himself from voicing an outright moan. He's more than ready, and Bull's voice sinks through him, deep and hot.

"Let's get whatever seems interesting and go." He proposes. Squeezes Bull's hand, the one he'd never let go of. His voice is barely a whisper. "I want you badly. I want to tell you how much I adore every bit of you."

Dorian's grin is bright and sharp when Bull sets a time limit, voice a low growl. "Done," he agrees, and separates reluctantly so that he can do his own speedy shopping. There are a few things which had caught his eye, one of which he's determined to keep secret from Bull until later. But among the things he does intend to show him are a bottle of luxurious jasmine-scented oil and supple leather cuffs, confident that Bull has picked up the ropes he found most appealing.

He sees Bull waiting for him across the street from the shop's front door, and when he emerges, gives him an exaggerated--though no less genuine--once-over before he joins him again. Oh, he wants him; it's good that his leathers are tight and the layers of his robes hide half of his body, because his arousal would probably be obvious otherwise. But it's certainly evident in subtler signs, ones that Bull would likely look for. For Andraste's sake, Bull's been able to tell him before when he smells turned on.

It's so simple to just hand Bull the bag of his purchases to carry, confident that he won't peek, and place a hand on the broad, warm expanse of Bull's chest. Dorian wants to kiss him--wants Bull to wrap his arms around him and pull him close, wants Bull to just--just pick him up and fuck him, slow and with every blessed inch of that glorious cock. Dorian's tongue wets his lips again before he wonders, "Ready?"

Dorian laughs as Bull drags him along, amused and curious. "Where are we going, exactly?" He wonders, but he doesn't particularly care to know the answer. He'll go anywhere with Bull. Frankly, though, he isn't even certain that Bull knows where they're going, turning this way and that in the winding maze of Val Royeaux's back alleys. The one they wind up in is barely wide enough to fit the two of them abreast, the dead end piled with crates and bales of hay. The high walls around them block most of the direct afternoon sunlight, leaving the area in a shadowed golden haze.

He doesn't have much of an opportunity to look around before Bull is pulling him close, just as he'd wanted. The bold, obvious need in Bull is absolutely thrilling to behold, and Dorian reaches up to wind his arms around the qunari's thick neck at once, making a low, needy noise and parting his lips eagerly beneath the insistent press of Bull's mouth. It doesn't shock him now to be lifted up, but it does still make him gasp with pleased surprised, tightening his hold on Bull and wrapping his legs as far around his waist as they'll go. Bull's hands are hot against his thighs, clutching almost possessively at him even through the layers of his clothing.

With some effort, he slides his mouth from Bull's, lips wet and tingling. He presses them to the corner of his jaw, slowly working upward. "Talking about how good your cock is really does it for you, I see," he teases, brushing the shell of Bull's ear. He knows he has no ground to stand on here; clearly, it does it for him, too. "I could go on about the rest of you too. How everything about you makes me want you all the time."

Dorian hums happily at that assessment. He might've made a witty remark in return--I'll remember you said that the next time I have complaints about the weather--but all too quickly Bull is kissing him again, and Dorian doesn't mind shutting up for that.

The wall is cool against his back, even through his layers, but Bull is so hot against him that he barely notices. He keeps his arms around Bull's shoulders as his lover works open his clothing. Impressive, really, that he can now do it without looking. Dorian's whole body reacts when he feels Bull touch him, an involuntary thrust of his hips as his manicured nails dig hard into the sloping muscles of Bull's shoulders.

"Fuck," he breathes, "your hands..." He swallows, forces himself to voice what's on his mind. "Huge, rough, warm--so perfect around my cock."
