"Kishou. Tilt your head up a little, would you?" Long fingers brush over partner's jawline, trying to pull him away from his book. "I can't kiss you like this." [ FOR THE AU OF AN AU WHERE THEY'RE A THING ]
     Barely would he react to the figure slinking a little bit closer with each drag of eyes over sentences, with each fiddling of fingertips with tender pages, feeling thin and brittle beneath searching grasp [ an old book, perhaps, from his familyâs heirloom now to be his very own ]. He knows when Viktor approaches. Knows him well enough from sound of footsteps and sway of fabric when he suddenly stands right beside him. Feels the weight shift plush seating surface to accompany his sitting down upon it [ no he didnât? it was merely a knee propped up alongside comfortable form ]. So he blinks, and all but curls lips into a fine smile in amused charade of being so unwilling, quite so unwanting to relent to partnerâs desires in quiet of the evening. Far too âimmersedâ in those words forming lines upon lines, discarded just when first echoes had waltzed around the room, had made another soul [ belonging to him ] feasible in these, what could only be experienced as, haunted witching hours. How exhilarating. How truly and utterly captivating just like fingertips traipsing their careful path along chiselled jawline, raising and lifting visage away from what had long [ so many heartbeats ago ] lost its charm and attention.
     âDemanding.â Word like this is brought forth in husky surprise of intonation, reflecting upon momentarily be unused and wanting to tease [ for he knows that such sounds would rake small shivers from now waiting, waiting, so surely anticipating physique ]. âYou have been cooped up in your laboratory all day and now command me to follow your whim~?â But he does. He does indeed. With the hands that had already discarded former attention, now that empty one travels teasingly along veiled skin of upper leg. Feeling the shifting and twitching muscle through the harshness of woven lines. âHm, I wonder if I might.â
     Head raised and higher tilting, watching carefully those ocean blue eyes. How they stare at him, how they want from him and without any other deterrence [ for words mean little no nothing to the being holding him so decidedly, captivatingly, in his grasp ], he could see that delicious smile tear at the corners of mouth, feel and perceive it moments of whirring pulses later as tingling sensation playing upon own soft of skin. Along his jawline when back bends to have face lower towards him. Tasted exhale upon his lips. Claiming and taking what was his own with a hitch of breath releasing itself gradually, brought forth by claim of fingertips sinking in deeper, right above junction where strong leg would flow into small of hips, pulling and pushing him down a little bit further against him [ such a favourable occurrence that they met in the dead of the night ]. For they could only be with one another right here and right now.
     Would others not raise words of poison-filled protest towards said engagement of a family leader and a man thought mad and possessed?
     Let them quarrel. Let them shout. [ sometimes, one would want to wonder about their jealousy not rearing ugly heads. ] Devoured like all else gasps and groans, refreshed upon like finest wine taken up by the harshness of a mutual desire he can feel rising and engaging him ever more. And to think that, it had been surprisingly sweet how Viktor made it known that his pulse was filled with the unwillingness to let shared attention simply go. âGreedy~â Itâs a single word he knows would have them change positions at once, possessive nature of his partner coming into play whenever he would taunt and tease [ and give ever less in calculation than the other only wanted ], like tugging on strings for split-seconds worth, he would find himself placed upon his back in idle consideration of glancing at that towering form now taking languorous placement upon his hips.
     Smiling at him with that same devilish grin that offers and promises more where that bit of skipping heartbeat elicit might surely come from. Beguiling. Fascinating. But still not enough. âNot quite.â Chimes it out with that rasping voice merely setting subdued form to a shiver. âNot quite.â He repeats - and it was so sure delightfully convenient.
     That the whole mansion, otherwise, was drowned into slumber - anybody but them.
