once he bears down into her, deep enough to hurt, it's warmer and wetter — but that doesn't mean anything. even as he loses stamina, winded and grunting, mavis continues trying to buck against him. a futile flailing, hips strained to try and fuck herself on him.
a failing effort. he is soft enough, soon, that he slips out, and no amount of thrusting can push him back inside. with a grievous whine, she slaps at his chest. ]
Why aren't you ready anymore? [ she is breathless, flushed, and flustered by her own frustration. ]
the mortification steals up on him; he isn't fond. the immediate urge is to pull back, to put distance between himself and ... and this. but then mavis is pounding on his chest, making demands. )
Stop. ( he just needs a moment ㅡ honest. first thing's first, he grabs for her wrist, lifting it over her head. )
[ she is too startled to stop him from wrenching her wrist above her head, too overwhelmed by the sudden intense flood of grief and disappointment. it had felt so good, but been so brief before it was ripped from her. it leaves her unfulfilled, intense emotions sent careening by a sudden lack of direction. ]
No. No. [ she fights him, pulls at his grip, bares her teeth as she struggles. she doesn't want to stop. it's not fair that he'd made her. that he'd decided it was over before she could be satisfied. the lump in the back of her throat emerges as a sob that surprises her more than anyone. ]
( irritation flares—hers? his? does it really matter at this point? their edges run together. spillover was bound to happen.
still.
still. he's beginning to understand the prohibition against doing things this way. the headiness is one thing, the loss of your sense of self (however brief) is another matter entirely. )
You're worse than your fucking cat, ( muttered into her hair, tastes the salt on her skin.
it's clumsy work, trying to soothe her. it's made harder by the fact that he's not a natural at it, but fine. fine. she's worried he'll leave her hanging and he can't begrudge her that thought. )
[ a series of shuddering breaths force her anxiety to come down. she turns her face aside, into his, and only after some moments stops fighting him.
fresh heat washing into her chest and cheeks. he doesn't know what he's asking, does he? her cunt twitches around nothing, exacerbating the emptiness. cold wetness trickling up the nooks and crannies of her, leaving a wet spot on the mattress. ]
( she's listening, which is something. he eases off on his grip, shifting his body away from her. )
I want to try something. ( more creaking follows as he climbs off the bed. it's a miracle, honestly, that it's survived so far and he's reluctant to push his luck further.
the cold air sets off another round of shivers. ) Never thought I'd miss the desert, but here we are. ( there's a wryness to how he says it, an acknowledgement that maybe it's easier to see what you have when you don't have it anymore.
or maybe it's just that all the metal in his back makes the cold weather even more of a bitch. regardless, he persists ㅡ he settles at the foot of cot, reaches for mavis and tugs her down. )
[ she's shivering, too, without his body to cover hers. goosebumps race up her thighs, her upper arms. her tits, beneath her shirt. she is more aware, now, of her near-nudity. of her long, bare legs, of the way the air creeps in under the door of the basement.
but instead of cover herself more, as he yanks her down, she grabs for the blanket and pushes it down towards him, drapes it around his shoulders. she has known cold desert nights. he hasn't. he has been coddled by the excess of empire.
and, maybe, as much as she misses his warmth, she doesn't want his complaining to interrupt him, to make him reconsider his position on the floor. her toes feel like little blocks of ice. she presses them to his shoulders, under the edge of the blanket. ]
( it's — surprising, her giving up the blanket like that. pointless, ultimately, but the gesture is ... it's sweet. thoughtful.
she keeps doing that.
rather than lingering on this, though, aristaeus decides to be proactive. he has a decent enough theoretical knowledge of what's supposed to happen, here; the reality, it turns out, is a lot more visceral.
but, details.
he presses his lips to that place between her legs, close-mouthed. testing. changes the position of his mouth, eventually, when he has a better idea of what works. what sparks. )
[ there is a mess between her legs. of him, of her. his thumb holds aside her soaked panties so he can get at her cunt through the thick hair, sticky and matted.
it doesn't take long to feel good. she is already swollen and sensitive, aching for contact. the mere tug of his thumbs against her outer labia makes her breath short. but when his mouth touches her? she sighs and arches. it's almost too much, the sensitivity. when his lips, softer by far than her fingertips, brush over the bundle of nerves that she is plenty familiar with, she twitches, grabs his hair. ]
Inside. [ she growls. she wants to be full. it is too much to suffer more than that. too soft. ]
[ the light pressure makes her toes curl, her head spin. her grip on his hair tightens, and her legs curl to hold him there even as she squirms to get away, overwhelmed by the touch. ]
Bastard. [ it's too much. certainly too much. overwhelming to focus only on this, to be clenching around nothing. she croons, head turning towards the mattress. ] More than your tongue.
[ her heel drags down his shoulder blade, as if trying to kick him without pushing him away. ]
( right, well. more of that obviously. this is one of those wonderfully rare moments where everything works in symphony — the analytical brain taking in the feedback, categorizing it and adapting, while his hindbrain is one long possessive purr.
he did this.
the room is quiet except for her gasps and the occassional rustle of the bedsheets. his hands are banded around her hips, tongue curled around clit, and even the pain of being an ambitious bastard is worth it for how she shudders and writhes underneath him. he could, he thinks, drag this on for a long, long time. )
[ it's too much. brutally so. in truth, her want for something to fill her is just as much a want for distraction as anything else. the desire to draw attention off the punishing stimulation that makes her buck and squirm. but for all her thrashing and all his weakness, she can't seem to dislodge him.
and even if it feels like it comes from the end of a knife's point, there is a satisfaction in it, one that winds tighter and tighter inside of her. every breath is sharp and short, violently seizing her chest and shoulders because she can't stop the jerky, needy movements that react to every electric jolt his touch sends through her.
it would be a mistake to call her climax enjoyable. certainly she tips over some precarious edge. certainly her muscles clench, a tautness that runs down her calves and digs her heels into his shoulder blades. certainly there is a surge of slick fluid in her veins and between her thighs and the thrashing grows more. but it is like being dragged behind a horse. it scrapes and burns and leaves her with aches. ]
( he feels it all: how ready, how desperate. it's so different from the breeding center, with its almost perfunctory escalation. there, the pleasure had been secondary—pleasant, useful but not really the point of the thing.
mavis' breath has gone hot and short, her body pulling taut. then the pleasure crescendos. crashes.
and then she's collapsing like her strings have been cut. boneless, chest heaving.
he gets himself up, the mattress dipping again as he settles above her.
even in this strange twilight, he can see her pupils blown wide: dark and liquid. she watches him, unflinching. )
More of that. ( lowering himself down to kiss her, to let her taste herself on his tongue.
[ she is pliable under his touch as she recovers. her mouth opens easily to him, and she doesn't flinch away from the wetness gathered in his beard or the familiar almost sour musk of her own arousal.
her own climax. wrung forcefully from her. everything he does is brutal, invasive, even this. his tongue is thick in her mouth, and she gathers herself to bite down, then bite down onto his lip as well.
but her arms wrap around him, drawing him down to her. yes, more. it's not the kind of brutality she shies from. not the kind to shirk. ]
