Fort Grey

Thaddeus set his pen down to rest at last and sighed, raking his fingers through his hair. He had, in the end, composed several letters, the longest of which was the explanation of Alfarinn and Simon's involvement, though that was certainly not the most draining for him to write.

He set the longest of the letters, stuffed in a thick envelope, on the counter of the bar. The others he placed neatly between the pages of the text he had brought from the Manor. Book in hand, he walked back to the bedroom and carefully opened the door.

Alfarinn continued to sleep soundly, a vision of marble skin and flowing hair spread over the blankets. It was more than a little tempting to climb back into bed and simply run his hands over that sculpted body, or attempt to kiss the Evenhet back into the waking world, but Thaddeus refrained, instead moving to the chest of drawers and placing the book in the top drawer. He had managed to find the passage he was searching for during a break from writing letters, and it had unfortunately proved as uninformative as he had remembered. He took one last lingering look at Alfarinn before exiting the bedroom, knowing if he stayed temptation would overrule his good sense.

Instead, he returned to the living room. His keyboard was now displayed prominently against one wall, though he did not think it wise to play right now; surely the depth Alfarinn's sleep had its limits, after all. Still, he ran his bare fingers over the keys, not firmly enough to make a sound, simply taking in their texture before approaching the long, narrow wooden box on the floor.

Inside the box was his sword, and Thaddeus smiled as he gripped it, remembering its weight. He did not often touch even this with his bare hand, concerned he would lose the senses tied to it, but today it was comforting to feel the hands of his father in the only way he could. Underneath the feel of those hands Thaddeus could sense other things, some of them dark, but his father he felt most of all as he stood. He shifted his weight, moved his shoulders, his wrists, his feet, his body remembering each action, his mind reveling in the sense of immediacy and presence the feel of a sword brought him.

He was startled out of his reverie by a knock on the door, and he hastily put the sword away. He checked the peephole and observed the uniformed man waiting outside, then realized he really ought to put on a shirt before answering the door and accepting the delivery. Somehow Alfarinn's more laid back attitudes about such things had rubbed off on him, he supposed. He scurried back to the bedroom and grabbed the first shirt he saw, throwing it over his head as he returned to the door to answer the now insistent knocking.

It was, of course, Alfarinn's shirt. And it was far too big for him. Thaddeus found he did not much mind, and answered the door with an uncharacteristic grin for the stranger. The smile faded sharply when the stylus was placed in his hands to sign the electronic signature tablet, but he bit his lip, concentrated on getting his name signed, and even managed to place it back where it belonged instead of dropping it. Then the package was placed in his hand and the delivery person was gone. Thaddeus closed the door quickly and looked down at the package doubtfully. Inside was his new laptop. He felt rather like a young man who had just had an infant thrust in his arms; wary and mystified and oddly pleased.

He walked to the third bedroom, intent on ripping open the package and carefully examining this new device.

Alfarinn 18 years ago
Alfarinn didn't think there was a chance he'd have fooled anyone, much less his partner, into believing that this wasn't what he had wanted when he kissed Thaddeus before. He grinned down out his companion unrepentant.

Alfarinn reflected briefly that at least they were likely to be more relaxed after what ever time they spent in here. It should make the rest of the preparations flow more quickly. With all the tension and stress they've felt since finding out about the Wolf they could both use any form of stress relief that didn't dull their senses, which he thought ruefully of his normal method, meant changing some habits.

He gave himself up gladly to Thaddeus's embrace relishing the feel of his companion brushing along his leg. His eyes half closed in pleasure at the teasing touch of that warm tongue on his lips and he returned the kiss with more fervor this time, knowing his companion was willing to stay.

[ I am at this moment very glad you think so.]

He found Thaddeus to be quite impossible to resist as well though Alfarinn would admit to not trying very hard, or in fact at all, after that one half hearted attempt to behave himself. He moved his mouth to Thaddeus's neck leaving a trail of kisses and soft bites from his companion's ear to his shoulder.

[ I believe it has been established that I am a trouble maker, remember? You're the good influence.]

Alfarinn's mind held the amusement he felt at being drug back down onto the bed by the "good influence" though he was far from complaining.
Thaddeus Grey 18 years ago
Thaddeus whimpered softly as Alfarinn lavished attention on his neck, leaning back into the pillows. He let his hands trail lightly down the other man's back, fingers running through his hair and over cool skin. At the first delicate nip he moaned, was rewarded with another, or so it seemed in any case, and gave up any semblance of composure until Alfarinn spoke in his mind with softly teasing amusement.

[Clearly my good influence has had an effect. Though I don't think 'good' is quite the word for what you're doing to me.]

In his current state he discovered he was seriously lacking in adjectives to describe just how much pleasure he derived from Alfarinn's ministrations. More pressing than trying to string a coherent sentence together, however, was the increasingly awkward restrictiveness of his pants. A problem remedied easily enough.

He shifted his weight, sliding further down the bed to claim Alfarinn's mouth again, kissing him soundly as he moved his hands to the small amount of space between them, running down the other man's sides before moving inward. He allowed one hand to lightly touch and tease and explore while the other unbuttoned his pants and slipped the zipper down. He slid lower, kissing Alfarinn's chin, his throat, tenderly licking the hollow of his collarbone as he carefully wrapped his exploring hand around Alfarinn's length and slid the thumb of his other hand into the waistband of his pants. He considered removing everything at once, but decided his lover might enjoy the feel of silk fabric on his skin, so he left his boxers on as he lifted his hips and slid his pants down, kicking them the rest of the way off when his hand could no longer reach. He reluctantly removed his hand, letting his thumb make a gentle sweep over the tip, before replacing the pressure with that of his hips, pressed up against Alfarinn even as his hands pulled the other man down.

He gasped softly even though reason dictated he should have expected this, but the feel of Alfarinn this close, with only silk between them, was even more erotic than he had anticipated. He moved his hips experimentally against Alfarinn and found that sensation more than a little pleasant, sending shivers through him.

[I, on the other hand, am not the least bit influenced by your trouble making ways.]
Alfarinn 18 years ago
Alfarinn found the sounds his companion made to be every bit as effective at breaking down his reason and willpower as they had been the last time. He had bent to continue his exploration in hopes of more such incentives when Thaddeus sent him his response. He chuckled and thought.

[ It isn't? Makes me wonder what word you'd use.]

Though it would seem Thaddeus wasn't in the mood to find an appropriate answer and that was more than alright with him. He felt his companion slid his hands between them and smiled slightly, quite happy at the moment to have decided -not- to get dressed before walking down the hall.

He murmured his own enjoyment at having Thaddeus's lips on his skin and was paying more attention to the direction those were going than the hand that he assumed would be following its companion which was currently busy working on a button. So it took him by surprise to have that warm graceful hand wrap its self around him. Alfarinn let out a small gasp of surprise and looked down at his companion, watching him intently as Thaddeus continued to remove his pants. Holding very still, he wondered just what would be done with this contact.


Alfarinn growled softly at that last teasing touch before moving his hips against Thaddeus's own. The thin material between them seemed to capture and intensify the Anantya's body heat and it heightened those already pleasant sensations, making him ache in anticipation.


Rubbing himself along his companion,feeling the silk glide between them, Alfarinn growled and sent his reply as he resumed his own touches with another somewhat harder bite to Thaddeus's neck.


[ Good, because right now, I think I have been 'influenced' quite enough for the both of us. ]
Thaddeus Grey 18 years ago
Thaddeus had been speaking lightly, teasingly even, but even so felt a need to clarify his thought lest Alfarinn get the wrong impression. Though the other man had the general idea, there was, he felt, more to say.

[I am...] Thaddeus gasped at the roughly playful bite that broke his tenuous focus for a moment. [...not influenced...] He pulled Alfarinn impossibly close to him, placing one hand on the other man's hip, the other at the small of his back, and winding his leg more firmly around him. For a short moment he stilled his movements, simply enjoying the weight and pressure and anticipation. [...but inspired.] That distinction made, he reached up and wound his hand in Alfarinn's hair, kissing him softly but thoroughly.

With a turn of his hips and shoulders he rolled Alfarinn onto his side, still kissing him for the time being, keeping his leg around him, and let his hands wander over the other man's chest, lightly grazing with just his fingertips before stroking more firmly. The desire to follow his hands with his mouth soon became too much for Thaddeus, and so he broke the kiss and moved down to his lover's throat once more, then swept back up to his ear, nibbling lightly before continuing downward. Lips and tongue and hands explored Alfarinn eagerly, and he pulled his leg away to shift down even more, smiling softly against the cool skin of the Evenhet's chest.

[No escape attempts, now.]

He placed one hand on Alfarinn's waist as he moved lower, kissing in a somewhat meandering fashion but with a clear direction, pausing to tease a nipple with his tongue, shifting down the bed to reach the delicate skin just above the navel. This spot he kissed very gently as he moved his hand from waist to hip, lightly tracing a circle with one finger as he looked up to meet Alfarinn's eyes. He was not exactly sure of why, as he was fairly sure Alfarinn would want this; he simply felt the need for that connection.

[Comfortable?]
Alfarinn 18 years ago
Alfarinn listened to Thaddeus clarify himself in his mind and found it comforting. With affection, he said.

[I am very fond of you the way you are.]

There was nothing he'd want to change or manipulate and he was glad that Thaddeus didn't feel that way. It had been a long time since he'd worried about the issue but he did recall their first few meetings and knew he might seem willing to maneuver others to his advantage. Truthfully he enjoyed being himself and was glad that they had gotten their clan roles out of the way quickly.

It was about all he had much thought for before Thaddeus's hand reached into his hair and his mouth covered his own. The warm trail of kisses that followed led up to his ear and Alfarinn gripped Thaddeus tightly pressing himself up against his companion. [-very- fond] he sent eventually when he could again manage to make a coherent thought.

There was something akin to a "you've got to be kidding me snort" at the thought of trying to escape. He watched Thaddeus through half lidded eyes seeing the direction this maddening attention was going, his breath catching at the teasing tongue on his skin.

Alfarinn looked at Thaddeus confused at his hesitation. Brushing his fingers gently through his companion's hair, Alfarinn propped himself up on his elbow to better see the questioning grey eyes in front of him.

[With you. I'm always comfortable.]

He thought again that perhaps this was all quite new to his companion, of course each person was unique and their desires took some time in figuring out. This was the case even for him with his abilities, wants of the moment didn't show him secret fantasies and those took a while to discover. It made him curious about his companion, what secret forbidden act might Thaddeus be interested in? Alfarinn longed for the chance to find out.
Thaddeus Grey 18 years ago
Thaddeus paused, warmed by the sentiment. Alfarinn had been the first to give him this intimacy, and the privilege of returning the favor was great indeed. He was deeply pleased that the other man was so willing to fulfill this desire, to share this pleasure with him.

[Thank you.]

He smiled, having found whatever it was he had looked for, and bent down to kiss cool skin once more. Even with that confirmation, he moved slowly, somewhat shyly, kissing and licking and touching along Alfarinn's hips, his thighs, moving ever inward, breathing warmly against him.

Until at last he lost all patience, overcome with longing. He ran his tongue over his upper lip, tasting the last traces of his lover's skin, and took Alfarinn into his mouth. He let his lips slide over the head and paused, his tongue sweeping and tasting, before moving down in one swift fluid motion as far as he could go. He made a noise of pure satisfaction in the back of his throat before pulling up with aching slowness, teasing with his tongue along the way, pulling almost all the way up before sliding down again, not as quickly as before, savoring and enjoying with lips and tongue. He did not rush to find a rhythm as he moved, simply taking pleasure in the feel of Alfarinn in his mouth, going deeper, tasting and caressing, but at last his strokes evened out, and he brought up his hand to join in time with his movements.

Even knowing in his mind how badly he had wanted this was not enough to prevent amazement at just how satisfying pleasuring Alfarinn could be. He whimpered again, low in his throat, before realizing there were more effective ways to communicate in his current situation if he could find the coherency for them.

[Thank you.]
Alfarinn 18 years ago
Alfarinn regarded Thaddeus with renewed puzzlement at the gratitude, which he was quite certain he should be feeling considering the circumstances...and he was.

[Thank me?]

He reached out a hand to lightly brush one shoulder of his companion. His body was urging his brain to let it alone and Thaddeus's teasing mouth on his skin reinforced that idea but he couldn't just keep silent. [Thaddeus...] Alfarinn didn't know quite what he meant to say and eventually gave it up for a lost cause, deciding to reassure his companion again instead.

[I'm quite happy to simply be here with you. There is nothing I wouldn't let you do or be upset that you didn't do.]

Watching Thaddeus bent over him, his tongue running over that inviting lip, Alfarinn knew that he was about to be highly distracted and so finished with. [ You can do this any time you like. I assure you. I won't..] and then those lips were around him, so warm and soft, pushing against him. [...mind]

Alfarinn's eyes closed and he gave up thinking entirely. The teasing strokes made him want to move and push but he held still, his hand lifting to Thaddeus's hair to slid through the short strands lightly, occupying himself with some movement and satisfying the ever present need to touch Thaddeus when ever he was near.

He found the emotions of the experience nearly as overwhelming as the sensations themselves. Alfarinn was moved to find Thaddeus sincerely enjoyed this and his companion's pleasure mixed with his own, causing him gasp and sigh as a hand joined that cunning mouth and a rhythm was established.


"Ahhhh..." His hand moved down to grip Thaddeus's shoulder, with just enough presence of mind to make sure he wasn't hurting him. Alfarinn clenched his teeth on the exclamation that threatened to escape and said in a ragged voice. "You're wel...come" instead.
Thaddeus Grey 18 years ago
Thaddeus purred inwardly at the feel of fingers in his hair, grateful of the affection. He found that he could completely relate to his lover's appreciation of those little sounds of enjoyment; he, too, was nearly undone by them. Being able to hear and feel Alfarinn's pleasure was both gratifying and encouraging, not that he particularly needed more encouragement; in fact, he wondered if Alfarinn knew what he had walked into when he told him he could do this any time he wished.

When Alfarinn gripped his shoulder, gently but firmly, he was convinced of just how often that was likely to be as shivers went down his spine. He had for half a moment believed the other man wanted him to slow down, or pull away, but it quickly became clear that he was simply holding on and enjoying what Thaddeus was doing, a thought which he found both exciting and arousing. Alfarinn's willingness and trust already touched him; feeling the other man's increasing desire and pleasure served to simply amaze, and he wondered if he would -ever- have too much of this.

At the Evenhet's response to his thanks, he increased his pace, both exhilarated and delighted by the blended emotions and sensations. He smiled inwardly, still somewhat awed at Alfarinn's completely willing offer and the open sincerity behind it.

[Any time?]

Continuing his quickened pace, he let his free hand wander over his lover's body, enjoying the feel of his cool skin. He moved fingertips over one hip, then up and around to his back, in a gentle caress before sliding back down. His hand found its way over one firm cheek, which Thaddeus gave a gentle squeeze before moving lower, along the outside of his thigh. He traced down as far as he could reach, then moved inward, parting the other man's legs to stroke the sensitive flesh of his inner thighs. The light touches were an interesting contrast to the more urgent movements of his mouth, and gave Thaddeus a sense of both frantic pleasure and deep peace. Finally his hand made its way to its destination and stilled, cupping Alfarinn tenderly as he moved against him.
Alfarinn 18 years ago
Alfarinn found the increased pace was quickly doing him in. He didn't even notice the soft moans that he was making, all his concentration was focused on Thaddeus's mouth around him and the amazing combination of that very physical sensation along with the emotional desire that seemed so sharp and vivid within the bond.

He noticed Thaddeus's wandering hand vaguely, remembering the last time he'd failed to pay it the proper attention. The light squeeze caused him to smile inwardly somewhere in the back of his mind. Feeling the hand slide up his thigh caused him to shiver in pleasure. When it finally came to rest,gently embracing him, it was the final extra stimulus that sent him over the edge.


"Thaddeus" Alfarinn sought to warn his companion as he surrendered to that bright wave of pleasure that engulfed him, consuming him completely.

When at last his senses came back to him, Alfarinn dropped his arm and rested lazily on his back. Pulling Thaddeus to him, more by gesture than by any ability to move on his part, he wrapped his arms around him.


"Any time." He said quietly "Thank you." His eyes drifted closed as he momentarily enjoyed this peaceful sated state surrounded by the comforting feeling of Thaddeus's love for him.
Thaddeus Grey 18 years ago
Thaddeus stilled and simply held gently with both mouth and hands as Alfarinn was overcome, enjoying the shared sensation of bliss through the bond, feeling the world go out of focus as the other man's pleasure filled his senses.

After a moment he pulled away, slowly, stealing a kiss before Alfarinn could move away, and moved up to the offered embrace. Fitting himself to the other man's body comfortably, he looked up to regard Alfarinn, his eyes closed in tranquility, and felt suddenly overwhelmed with affection. He ran his hand up that smooth sculpted chest before coming to rest, letting his head fall on the other man's shoulder, his hand finding long blond hair to move through, ignoring the fact that it shook with emotion.


You are welcome and then some.

He sighed in satisfaction, his own need still somewhat distant in the wake of his lover's pleasure; he was, for the moment, content to have this moment of quiet.
Alfarinn 18 years ago
Alfarinn opened his eyes and looked down at his companion. A small smile forming on his lips. There was so much to love about Thaddeus that it surprised him that his companion had remained alone for so long. It would seem to him that he should have been snatched up and treasured by someone and he couldn't imagine how this failed to happen. Certainly his nature was easy to see, those manners that soften that keen intelligence beg you to get to know him better and then there was his thoughtfulness and compassion hidden perhaps from a total stranger but not from anyone who took the time to understand him. Alfarinn felt very fortunate that the world seemed to have remained blind and that Thaddeus lay here with him. He resolved to appreciate his companion in the ways that he deserved.

"You're too good to me."

Alfarinn leaned up, turning to the side to lay Thaddeus down on the pillows next to him. "Its probably bad for me. Side effects include constant smiling and deliriously good moods but... " He sighed and grinned. "I'm addicted. I won't even say I can quit at any time. I know better. I am quite sure I don't want to quit. "

Running his hands down Thaddeus's chest, he stopped at the waistline of the boxers. "These are quite nice." Alfarinn rubbed the silk against his companion, moving his hand slowly back and forth, wondering what the coolness of his skin felt like through it.

" I am sure though that they will eventually do better off, don't you agree?"

He settled himself between his companion's legs and gently tugged on the boxers, sliding them down slowly, kissing and licking after them. He moved off the bed briefly to pull them completely away and placed them on the already discarded pants.

"Perfect" Alfarinn smiled up at Thaddeus and moved back onto the bed, stretching himself over the Anantya and kissing him gently.

"I'd say I'm here because I don't want you to get cold but I don't think I'd be fooling anyone."
Thaddeus Grey 18 years ago
Thaddeus smiled softly and tucked a strand of hair behind Alfarinn's ear. He was feeling just a bit too content to argue whether anything could possibly be too good for this man, and elected instead to simply pull closer.

[So long as you don't ask me to stop.]

A thrill of desire went through him when Alfarinn moved him to his back, reminding him of the longing just below the surface of calm. He raised one eyebrow at the idea that he was in some way addictive, still smiling.


"We shall just have to build up a reasonable tolerance then. And I agree, this is written all over our...oh."Â?

Cool fingers ran down his chest, clearing away the last of the blissful haze, and when that touch moved lower to stroke through silk fabric anticipation moved to take its place. In the back of his mind he remembered that he had not finished his sentence, and hoped he had at least managed to convey whatever point he had been trying to make.

"Mmm...quite nice..."Â?

He smirked inwardly when Alfarinn asked his agreement, thinking that he was feeling particularly agreeable to just about anything the other man might have in mind. He would have said as much, in fact, but this time he was halted before he had begun at the feel of Alfarinn's mouth running over his skin, leaving him just enough presence of mind to lift his hips compliantly to allow the other man to slip the last of his clothing away.

He murmured softly when Alfarinn left the bed, but was all the more pleased when that cool weight was returned to him. While he suspected Alfarinn meant something different when he stated that single word, he couldn't help but feel that Alfarinn stretched out over him, kissing him softly, was, indeed, perfection.

[I would tend to agree.]

He tilted his head curiously when the kiss was broken, unsure of how to explain just the effect Alfarinn's touch had on him and wondering if explanation was needed in the first place.


"I am quite glad you are here. I can hardly describe just how much I enjoy being this way with you."Â?

He demonstrated the sentiment by wrapping his arms around the other man, pulling him close in an effort to touch as much skin as possible, and burying his cheek in Alfarinn's neck. Too restless to stay completely still this way for long, he moved his mouth up to his companion's jaw line, shifting up to capture that sensitive ear before kissing him fully on the mouth. Thaddeus kept that tight hold on Alfarinn as he deepened the kiss, hoping once again that his lover had the general idea.

If not, he would not so much mind thinking of other ways to show his appreciation. In fact, he fully intended on that regardless.
Alfarinn 18 years ago
Alfarinn felt that tug on his ear and his eyes closed in pleasure. Sighing, he looked down at his companion. Good influence indeed... At this rate they'd never make it out of the bed.

"As much as I enjoy this particular way... because you -do- feel so good." He nuzzled Thaddeus's neck before continuing, enjoying the warm familiar scent of him. "I think there is something else that I would like to do."

He smiled at his companion and began to trail his lips once more slowly down that smooth expanse of chest. Alfarinn moved himself down as he went, taking an occasional soft teasing nip. He kissed the hollow of both hips, running his lips in a lazy circle on one and then the other, before pausing and looking up at Thaddeus with a grin.

Alfarinn then reached his hand over to the nightstand and retrieved the tube that had been so handy the last time. Coating one finger, he drew it around Thaddeus from tip to base in a slow spiral, pausing to let the cool air blow on it before adding more to his hand and thoroughly covering his companion. Placing the tube back in the drawer, he sat back up and regarded his handy work a moment before giving Thaddeus a slight grin.


" You know... perhaps you're right about getting back to work.."

Alfarinn moved up as if to climb away from his companion before settling down again over Thaddeus's abdomen. He leaned forward to place a kiss on inviting lips, gently tugging on the lower one with his teeth before kissing it again and letting it go.

"On, second thought, I think it would be wiser to stay here a little longer. The "rest" is doing us good."

Alfarinn leaned back then and reached behind him, aligning his companion carefully so that he could slowly slid himself down onto Thaddeus. He shuddered slightly with the ache and pleasure of it and rested still for a moment.

"Now that I've got you where I want you and there is no chance of escaping..I think an interrogation is in order..." He smiled to convey the teasing tone of his words. "So... Tell me, Thaddeus, what secret fantasies might you be hiding from me?" Alfarinn raised himself up slowly and lowered himself back down. "Don't make this harder on yourself than it has to be. I could do this all night."

Alfarin ran his hands along Thaddeus's chest and waited for an answer. If his companion didn't wish to play then he'd be more than happy to continue without it but for the moment he felt they both could use it.
Thaddeus Grey 18 years ago
Thaddeus had time to wonder what it was that his companion would like to do before Alfarinn bent to explore him with his mouth, leaving him sighing, one hand wound in that silky blonde hair, the other fisted in the blankets. As the other man progressed downward, his thoughts went from questioning to acceptance; whatever Alfarinn wanted, it was sure to be something quite enjoyable for all involved.

[Anything you want...]

At the pause in movement, he looked up to regard the Evenhet. Thaddeus was becoming more accustomed to Alfarinn's various mannerisms; he didn't need a bond to see that his companion was up to something, not with that grin on his face. Vague suspicions, however, were driven out of his mind as he watched his lover's actions with open curiosity and anticipation, his head tilted to one side as he propped himself up on his elbows. He hissed softly and tilted his head back at the first touch of one slick finger, but kept his eyes open wide and quickly went back to watching his companion, doing his level best to stay still as that touch slowly undid him.

He finally sank back into the pillows at the feel of Alfarinn's cool slick hand running over him, and immediately regretted allowing himself a moment to relax into that touch, as it appeared the other man was finally making a break for it.

Good Lord...he -has- to be kidding...

He was quite relieved when Alfarinn returned to him, kissing him in a fashion that made him shiver, though he reflected that the man was clearly attempting to drive him insane with desire.

That was the last clear thought he had for a moment, unless invoking various deities counted for anything. His hands clutched the blankets as his eyes slid closed, his jaw dropping open of its own accord in silent pleasure. He managed to collect himself enough to open his eyes at the sound of Alfarinn's voice, his eyes wide as he listened to the other man's line of questioning.

Never mind. He has driven me insane already.


Alfarinn...

Thaddeus closed his eyes again, gasping, biting his lip in an effort to compose himself enough to say anything of coherence. While perhaps Alfarinn could do this all night, he would only last so long under this sweet torment and he knew it. He honestly was not sure of how to respond; while the situation seemed to demand defiance, and perhaps he should put up some sort of playful fight, he was feeling almost more pleasure than he could stand even without the questions. His spoken answer was honest enough; simply being with Alfarinn was everything he could want, and he certainly was not deliberately keeping anything secret from him. Even now, though, when he had a very compelling reason to share his more private thoughts with the man they were centered around, it was a struggle to find words, and not simply because he was rather distracted from clear thinking of any kind. There seemed to be too much to tell, one thought tripping over another in a confused blur of both passion and hope. He had never bothered making such thoughts more orderly and constructive, not seeing the purpose in arranging thoughts he never intended to so much as write in his journal.

So instead, he showed him, sending the images and thoughts through the bond. He showed Alfarinn the innocent and the profane, both spontaneous wishes and deep longings, none more important than the other.

...In his study, Alfarinn perched on the edge of his desk, hands gripping the wood and head tilted back as Thaddeus kissed his way down that sculpted torso...Alfarinn pressed up against him from behind, in his shower, his hands braced on either wall as water poured over them both, his neck exposed as his lover's fangs entered him...Kissing Alfarinn with complete abandon between bookshelves in the library, gloved hands in hair and the sound of books falling in the distance...Kneeling on the floor of the Evenhet limo, looking up at Alfarinn, eyes closed, lips parted, head thrown back... Both men laughing on a bed clearly broken by their own excesses...Slipping open shirt buttons with his teeth...His back against the wall, legs wrapped around Alfarinn, holding on for dear life as the other man moved into him...Straddling Alfarinn, stretched out on the bed, back exposed, running one hand down his spine before raising a paint brush to his skin...

His focus gave out at this last image; the present situation was simply too enjoyable and too filled with tension to dwell long in his thoughts. He was, in fact, living something greater than any fantasy his mind could conjure, and would much prefer to explore the current situation. His hands had moved to Alfarinn's hips at some point, and he gripped tightly, fingers denting flesh. He was sure he would go out of his mind if the other man continued this way.


"Alfarinn...God, again, please..."Â?
Alfarinn 18 years ago
Alfarinn waited watching Thaddeus with a small grin, wondering what his companion would come up with on such short notice. He also wondered if even now Thaddeus might blush to say something like this out loud.

And then Thaddeus showed him he was quite wrong. Alfarinn's mind took in the various images with a certain amount of wonder and no small amount of yearning. He was awed by how similar they were and reflected that they were sensual creatures after all, more restrained than most, but that built up to these moments where they could hardly contain the passion they felt for each other. That his lover could be so open with him and so hidden elsewhere was a desire of his own. He loved walking out with Thaddeus wandering the stores knowing that he had just tasted those lips in the limo ride over. Perhaps it was his nature to love secret things and he'd enjoy sharing them with Thaddeus just as he would enjoy solving mysteries of relics with his companion.

He was simply too stunned to move for a few moments, the hands gripping his hips and Thaddeus's voice brought him back to his senses. Yet another of the things he found so irresistible was hearing Thaddeus speak to him, desire so plain in his voice,asking for what he wanted. He raised and lowered himself again, opening his mouth as though he were about to ask another question.


"Ah... we'll just have to see how many of those we can get to before asking for more." Alfarinn leaned down closer to Thaddeus, his hair spilling over his shoulders on either side and said. "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr Grey. You've been most helpful." He kissed him once more before murmuring in his ear. "The things you do to me..." Alfarinn smiled. He had started this game but was completely undone by Thaddeus's reply.

"To need and want someone this much... you make me feel alive like I haven't been in centuries." Alfarinn moved slowly enjoying the feel of Thaddeus inside him, the physical completion of the bond that tied them both together. "Thank you"
Thaddeus Grey 18 years ago
Thaddeus was sure that with that one stroke Alfarinn could have him confessing all his sins in complete and accurate detail. Fortunately, the Evenhet seemed more than satisfied for the moment, though he could look forward to more 'inquiries' with a sense of deep thrill in the future. Apparently, he could look forward to a few other things as well, and the hope of shared experiences long after today far overshadowed the dangers they would need to face up to all too soon.

He shivered at the feel of Alfarinn's hair brushing his shoulders and that seductive voice in his ear, and reached up instinctively to run one hand through the blonde tresses. He felt assured that whatever playfulness his lover wished to engage in, this gentle passion was always behind it; that underneath that composure was a desire just as great as his own. He was not entirely certain, in fact, of who Alfarinn was referring to when he spoke of needing and wanting, though he reasoned that the statement could apply to either party. Alfarinn thanking him only served to further prove their matching thoughts; they were, Thaddeus felt, truly one in this moment. He whispered softly, the words caught in his throat but spoken nonetheless.


My love.

He was aware now of how tight his grip had been on Alfarinn's hips, now that his fingers were more relaxed. Wanting to be gentle, he slid his hands softly over the other man's chest, keeping his touches feather light as he brushed over his collarbone, around his shoulders, down his arms. He followed the same path in reverse, moving lower now to take his lover's erection in his hand, his grip still delicate, moving in time with Alfarinn's smooth pace.

He kept his eyes open with some effort, though he could easily slip away and lose himself in these feelings, intensified by the bond, surrounding him much like the curtain of blonde hair that fell to either side of them. He held the other man's gaze, gray locked with gray, as pleasure built within him.

Alfarinn continued to move as he watched his companion. Kissing him gently at the endearment that meant so much to him. It amazed him still that they were here now together, that he'd hear those words uttered in reference to him.

He felt Thaddeus's hands wander once more and shivered at their delicate warm touch on his skin. Though their destination had not been a surprise this time, a sigh still escaped him as that hand curled around him and began it gentle caress down his length. It was arousing and teasing at the same time and he knew quite well that he deserved any such repayment his companion saw fit to give him. Still, he knew that it was him that was setting this pace and Thaddeus was willing to let him.

Alfarinn smiled into those eyes that watched him and asked quietly.


"More?"

Thaddeus bit his lip in uncertainty. More? He wasn't sure he could take more, and had no wish for this to be over just yet. The slow pace was a pleasure all its own; there was something deeply erotic about this patient build, in trying to keep control, stretching his will as thin as he could stand, knowing in the end his composure would crumble like sandstone. There was a thrill in that discipline that stilled his more demanding, hungry side, at least for a moment longer. Watching Alfarinn move over him, though, was quickly undoing him, though he still stubbornly refused to close his eyes. He whimpered softly at the next stroke, his hand gripping more surely now, and for a moment he could only think of just how amazing Alfarinn looked this way.

He tilted his head back on the pillows and sighed shakily through his teeth. His body clearly felt differently and he was becoming less and less inclined to argue. Something within him growled low in desire at Alfarinn's quiet question and insisted that this was hardly the time for patience. His whisper had a rough edge.


More. Please.

His hand continued to stroke in time with Alfarinn's movements, and he let his free hand move to Alfarinn's hip, reminding himself not to grip tight enough to hurt, and let his eyes slide closed.

Alfarinn ran his fingers across Thaddeus's lips. It was a endearing habit of his companion's to bite on it thoughtfully, and it made him want to kiss Thaddeus each time he saw it. The Anantya seemed torn on whether to move more quickly or continue at this pace. Alfarinn obediently waited for the answer though there was a strong urge to push harder and rub against Thaddeus in need. It was tempting to bite his own lip while he waited and hearing the small noises from his companion started to wear away at the last of his resolve, he was therefore very grateful to hear that quiet reply.

He moved harder against Thaddeus knowing his lover's delicate features masked plenty of strength. Alfarinn had less fear of hurting anyone in this situation, something that came briefly to mind as he pulled almost completely away before thrusting himself back down again. He watched Thaddeus arch beneath him, eyes closed in pleasure and doubted he'd ever seen a more beautiful sight.

Pressing his lips against that exposed neck, he murmured softly.


"Better?"

Before grazing his teeth gently along skin.

Thaddeus had enough presence of mind to realize that he was correct; he would not be able to take much of this, not that he took issue with that. He was well beyond any sort of eloquence now, lips parted in pleasure, murmuring his enjoyment. Every movement brought him closer to the edge, and with each thrust it grew increasingly difficult to hold on to awareness. He moved the hand that was not occupied with stroking Alfarinn away from his hip and gripped the blankets instead.

He shivered at the touch of soft hair brushing against his skin as Alfarinn moved closer to kiss his neck, and was certain he was fighting a losing battle. The low voice in his ear evoked another incoherent moan before his mind processed what Alfarinn was asking him.


Yes...He felt teeth scrape against skin and gasped at just the thought of Alfarinn's fangs sinking into him....Alfarinn...yes...He tilted his head back in a provocative gesture, wanting this now before pleasure consumed him completely.
