[ The scowl is a bit amusing, but it’s the hand sharply gripping his wrist to whip it away from the other’s head that has his eyebrow raising. Hit a nerve, has he? Or perhaps-

Ah. So that’s it.

He doesn’t attempt to free his wrist, nor does he comment beyond the narrowing of his eyes- it’s cute, he should say, thinking he serves anyone. Oh, he can defer to authority if he must, but that is limited to his job, and survival. Right here, right now? He owes nothing…but it’s entertaining, for Trahearne to think he does. This attempt would usually garner a gnashing of teeth, but he finds he doesn’t need to, to provoke the reaction he needs.

Adelis keeps pace enough that he isn’t quite yanked along, despite the grip, and he has a few moments to examine the bedroom itself before the door closes with the force of his back hitting it. He peers up, at that smile and the words, and only allows his own to spread a bit further- albeit far sharper. ]


I’ve plenty of patience for those who earn it. [ An unsaid implication that Trahearne has not. ] And the same goes for lending my ear.

[ He pushes himself up a bit further, leaving a bare breath of space between them as he lifts his free hand to condescendingly brush the taller’s cheek. ]

But question is, how well do you adhere to your own lessons?

[ Hmm. What a quick change of mood this one is capable of. The press of the other's cheek into the subtle brush of his fingers earns a hum under his breath, moreso like the way one looks at a needy cat than anything else. Sylvari really are touchy, aren't they.

Well, that's fine. As long as he doesn't attempt to get too overtly affectionate, then he may have to bully him for it.

He watches with only the barest flicker in his eyes as Trahearne pulls away, the odd stare into nothing having him wondering if he needs to snap him out of something or other- at least until his hand reaches and what foliage covering his torso promptly scatters and falls to the floor. Huh. That's new.

It doesn't distract him for long, however, because his gaze drags up to the gash drawn straight across the other's body. A nasty thing, that is, and it is indeed surprising he managed to live despite how grievously deep the wound looks. No wonder he deemed fit to mention it.

But Adelis, naturally, offers no reaction beyond a flicker of acknowledgement. He is not one for condolences or reassurances, and he doubts that's what Trahearne was fishing for anyway. He knows, and he'll make a note of it, as he's in no hurry to ruin it whilst causing unwanted pain.

Unwanted, emphasis.

Hair tucked behind his ear, he lets his gaze settle back on Trahearne's face, feigning contemplation for a moment. ]


Lessons on patience, wasn't it? [ It rolls off his tongue, as blue stares into amber. ] But it seems to me yours is severely lacking thus far.

[ His free hand drops to coil, tightly, around the back of Trahearne's neck, giving him a sharp pull forward to minimize the distance. ]

I don't believe you're quite qualified to teach.

[ He does not wrench or whip the hand away this time, which says something- he is testing, slowly, the boundaries he can push and buttons he can press. He desires reactions, but he isn't interested in turning him off of it completely- that defeats the whole purpose.

They are close, now, mere inches from being flush. The smile, itself, is returned in kind, albeit not as soft. His head tilts at the first bit, interest piquing slightly...

And then Trahearne just...keeps going. And going.

Adelis' face slips into blankness, expression unflickering as he parses the fact that, wow, this guy is really just...pulling out his resume. On undead and dragons. Right here, in his bedroom. While Adelis doesn't look quite bored, per-say, he doesn't look impressed either, gaze dropping harsh at the hands that brush his waist suddenly as he contemplates how exactly to respond-

Only for him to freeze before hands reach out and latch onto Trahearne's shoulders as he's promptly lifted, finding himself in the other's arms as he stares down with surprise at the returning satisfied look in amber eyes.

...Bastard. ]


Careful I don't decide to get my proper vengeance- we are a revengeful folk, you'll find. [ His look is sharp from his perch, leaning down to grip the taller's chin between gloved fingers as they tap closer to the bed. He certainly won't let his position nor their difference stop him. ] And if you insist, then I can hardly argue.

[ More like- if he has to listen to the thesis he's going to straight up blueball this man, and opts to not attempt to needle that particular line of thinking again. Instead, Adelis reaches his free hand up to idly grip the leather between his teeth and pull it off slowly, before dropping it haphazardly to the floor. ]

Do your best to not disappoint me, then.

[ While he doesn't particularly enjoy being manhandled without permission, his gaze doesn't waver, peering down at that growing smirk with a tight gloved grip. Well, he thinks, that's better than having to listen to another lecture. If he has to listen to another scholar's thesis whilst preparing to sleep with someone, then he may just phone it in.

Adelis gaze flickers downwards in light surprise at the face pressing to his chest, vaguely quirking a brow. Different levels of touchy, then.

The bed is soft under his back, and he doesn't have much time to prop himself up before the other is already over him, cool hand sliding up his skin as his shirt is pushed up. His free hand coils about Trahearne's shoulders, gloved fingers digging into his back at the tongue slides over his torso, across the star-burst shaped scars, only vaguely twitching at the scrape of teeth. It's a bit difficult to see, vision as blurry as it is, but he doesn't really need to to feel.

Not particularly loud, the firm circles dragging closer to his groin earn a soft exhale, before his leg shifts upon the sheets to hook about Trahearne's own and tug him closer, grip on his shoulders tightening all the while. ]


You'll need to put in more of an effort to see what you want.

[ Guess you'll just have to find out! ]

[ Part of Adelis wonders if his usual techniques will get him far here- Trahearne seems both dense in some ways, and yet clashing with him in others. Perhaps it will take a bit more to pin him down as he likes, but he supposes he's got plenty of time.

The look on his face is...hm, a bit new, but he doesn't comment. He seems to enjoy looking at his face all too much, and Adelis tilts his head, the gaze he offers back one that is far sharper and more challenging. He may stare all he wishes, but he expects compensation in return.

There's the brush of skin, and he hums lightly as his hair is tucked behind his ear. Regardless of how Trahearne towers over him, stares down at him, Adelis meets him with equal measure, albeit the press of the other's hips to his own has him casually, slowly rolling his up to meet the wood covering his lower half.

He skims his teeth across Trahearne's lip, his leg shifting up a bit further to brush the taller man's thighs. The question, naturally, makes his smirk widen a fraction. ]


Do you want me to be specific?

[ It's a challenge, naturally, especially in the way he opts to drag his fingers slowly down Trahearne's spine, but with a dangerous, harsh press as he does so. ]

What did you ask me before...about being here at your request? [ The fingers trail down, down further with his words, as if counting the nonexistent vertebrae. ] To serve you? Is that what you'd like?

[ With a brush of black leather, his hand finally coils about Treahearne's hip- before giving it a sharp press down with a surprising show of strength, to grind against him better. . ]

It's a shame you'll find I don't serve easy.

[ Ah, it's nice to have someone meet him on equal ground- it makes it all the more entertaining later, to see how they like being brought down. Trahearne is far larger than he is, yes, amusement in his eyes at Adelis' challenges, but he feels that shiver as his nails scrape his spine and lets that carry him.

Adelis peers through lidded eyes at the chuckle, the words, but his breath hitches at the forceful grind against him- in comparison, there is little but cloth between him and the hard press of the other's groin, and a pleasant heat settles in his stomach as his hips are pressed further down into the mattress.

There is little to no time to reply to the provocation, eyebrows only lightly raising before a hiss slips through his lips at the harsh press of teeth. His own grip tightens at that, fingers coiling both on Trahearne's hip and the sheets at the slick draw of the other's tongue along his bruised flesh.

The collar of Adelis' shirt slips down a bit, soft white shifting to reveal a ring of fading purple bruises around his neck. There is also the imprint of what seems like more teeth, but sharper and more human-like, in the stages of healing. He clearly doesn't mind the rough touch despite the fact it must obviously hurt, lifting his head a bit for easier access, but the hand on his hip does not stop the coil of his leg to make the grinding all the harder. ]


Hah. [ The laugh is soft, but not warm. ] You may think that for as long as you're able.

[ Perhaps he would feel ashamed, if he were someone else- but he has never known much shame when it comes to things like this. He has pride, yes, and standards, certainly- but sometimes it provides a little incentive.

He meets that amber gaze, unflinchingly, whilst his own narrows slightly. ]


I suggest you don't regret saying that later.

[ A challenge he gladly takes- because if he's going to be doing this, then he may as well enjoy it.

The brush of the other's teeth across the old marks makes his grip tighten, and the pressure against the bruised skin feels good. The skin of his neck is still tender, the faint healing imprints of relentless teeth still visible- despite being clearly a week old, the bite was clearly savagely deep, and so the wet touch of the Trahearne's mouth sends a sharp twinge through him to pool in his stomach.

His back is forcefully arched, but it bothers Adelis none- neither does the hand slipping below his waistband to knead at his flesh. His own hand slips further down, fingers slowly unhooking the buckles that keep his garters closed tight to his legs. There is too much clothes here, he thinks, and the hot summer air makes his bangs faintly stick to his forehead. ]


I believe we're overdressed. [ A finger slips, casually, through the garter on his thigh, as if preparing to slowly drag it down the curve of his leg. ] Do you intend to fix that, or must I do it myself?

[ Confident in himself in this regard he may be, but even he's not a miracle worker. Still, if it's a pleasant enough dream he wants, that much he can likely grant.

His neck will be a mess for the next while again, even more than it already was, he realizes- but that thought doesn't bother him much. He does have a sense of shame, but it's not as prominent as some others. It's no fun, after all, without a few reminders here and there.

The other man stops, and sits up, and Adelis pushes his hair out of his eyes as Trahearne stares down at him for a few moments. The hands that trail over his thighs and up are cast a middling glance before he looks back up- in time for him to tense with a jolt at the harsh press to his cock. That earns a twitch, sharply inhale through his teeth, before he meets that particularly smug look with a narrowing of the eyes.

Well. If he wants to play that. ]


...Do I, now?

[ There's a beat as his hand coils down, slowly wrapping around Trahearne's wrist and rubbing a thumb slow and sensual over the curve of his knuckles...at least until he rips it away to push himself up, hand pressing harsh to the other's shoulder to push him back enough to hover over his lap whilst propped up fully on his knees. He's still not tall enough to lord over him, tragically, but it's enough for him to lift a hand and press a gloved thumb to the taller's lip. ]

So insistent. I can do nicely, even if your own manners are lacking. For instance.... [ Adelis' voice drops to a murmur, thumb pressing further against his mouth, nearly pressing the leather against his teeth as he leans his face in further. ] Won't you be kind, Marshal, and take these off for me?

[ He avoids the scar, because he's not in the mood to kill the mood, but he does press his chest closer, dropping Trahearne's wrist to snake his hand and tug one of the towels a bit closer in the meantime. Simply wouldn't be a bingo without one. ]

[ However subtle it is, and perhaps a bit difficult to see with the blur to his vision, the obvious surprise in the other's eyes is enough to make his smile widen ever so slightly. He'll count it as a small victory, perhaps one of many thus far.

He likes that expression, he thinks, keeping his eyes locked on Trahearne's face even as hands slide up his shirt. They're cool on the returned warmth of his skin, and he arches the slightest into the touch, although most of his attention is focused solely on the slide of a tongue across his gloved palm.

This is more of a show than Adelis was expecting, but he's hardly complaining about it- especially as teeth dig fierce into the material and it slips off the pale of his hand with a quick jerk of the other's head. There's a pleased hum in the back of his throat, especially as he finds that gaze fixed on him again, and since Trahearne's so eager for it, the other hand lifts to press a finger to his mouth over again.

The other slides to the hand pushing his shirt up, pads of his thumb brushing over his knuckles as he urges the hand up just a bit further. ]


Careful. [ It's less of a warning, by the glint in his eyes, but he lets the leather idly stroke over the other man's lips. ] If you ruin them, I'll be taking some form of recompense.

[ The brush of the other's finger down the curve of his spine earns a subtle shiver, and if a further arch is what he desires, it's what he's getting. Perhaps it's fine to indulge him a little bit, let him think he has some control here- it'll make it all the more interesting later.

This is much better than before. Good to see someone is a quick learner, falling in line so well, the glint Trahearne's eyes returned in kind with the further upturning of Adelis' lips. It's much better, he thinks, when the enjoyment is mutual, and he very much likes the way the other's mouth presses to the tip of a leather-clad finger, just like how he likes the words spilling out of his mouth.

He does not, however, much time to retort as the glove is ripped off his hand once again. Whatever he was about to say is swallowed by the way Trahearne takes his fingers in his mouth, thumb pressing to his palm to accompany the slickness of his tongue sliding over his skin. His eyes widen only the slightest, but his smile does not diminish any. ]


Well, that won't do, will it.

[ The fabric twirls around his unoccupied fingers as he carefully arches his hand behind the other's back, idly pressing the digits in the Sylvari's mouth down on his tongue. It isn't warm, like a human's would be, but that makes it all the more interesting, in his opinion.

He pushes the fingers a little deeper, just a bit, leaning his own face in further so their noses carefully brush. ]


Luckily for you, I'm rather good at extracting payment where it's due.

[ And that's all Trahearne gets before his free hand up and pushes down on his shoulders, again- this time to push him down to the bed, Adelis sitting pretty on the curve of his hips. He pulls his fingers free, if only to lift said hand up to join the other, towel clutched tight between them as he leans over so Trahearne can see it proper.

If he rocks his hips downward in the process, well, that's not important. ]


But whether you deserve to see it, is another question entirely. I'd like to see a little more effort before I'm convinced.

we forgot to say NSFW, anyway,

[personal profile] for8000amonth 2023-03-03 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That noise earns a soft laugh in return, seemingly unbothered by both the hands on his thighs and the rocking from below, although the tips of his ears are tinted a light red. It feels good, certainly, but who would he be if he wasn't good at hiding it? ]

Here I was being kind, since I was in a good mood. [ He tuts, but since that's what he's asking for, he leans over enough so his hands can reach Trahearne's face. ] But if you're so eager for it, I suppose I can indulge you.

[ His grip doesn't stutter, even as fingers brush his waist and begin the process of removing everything down below, swiftly tugging the soft white over the other's eyes. Dexterous as his hands are, it takes nearly a second to secure the knot properly, and then his hands fall back as he looks it over and hums in approval. ]

That, of course, would depend on you. [ A smirk, although he can't see it anymore. ] Your ability to keep up, that is.

[ This is aggravating and in the way, Adelis thinks, and he certainly doesn't need to ask for a show like he did with a certain someone else. He runs a hand experimentally over Trahearne's hips, over the vines keeping his lower coverings attached, and idly tugs at it with his fingers. How well does this come off...

As for the other hand, however, it drifts to the hands busy fiddling with his own pants, lightly dragging the other's fingers over his skin and over the waistband that dips painfully low. A nail lightly drags over the back of his hand, grip not too tight but not too loose, either. ]


Shall I offer you my assistance, with your eyes so compromised? I'd hate to see you struggle, after all...

[ A lie- he would love that, actually. ]

[personal profile] for8000amonth 2023-03-05 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He would have dealt with being blindfolded himself, really- his blindsense is well enough it wouldn't have been too much of a problem, even if that's an advantage he'd rather not hand off easily. But it brings a pleasant pang of arousal to have someone else submit themselves to it- a good thing Trahearne can no longer see the smirk on his face.

The press of the other's fingers into his skin, dipping just slightly below the barrier of his clothes, is pleasant, and he plays along and lifts his own hips enough as he's shifted up to allow the attempt at disrobing him. A soft, quiet groan slips through at the hand that drags down his finally-freed erection, and he lightly pushes into the touch, albeit not too desperately. Just to test, to tease, because the tone in Trahearne's voice is so telling. ]


I suppose that's for you to find out, isn't it?

[ Adelis keeps his hips lifted so he can shimmy his shorts down, shifting one leg to slide them off more efficiently. Those out of the way, he can focus on what's important- getting rid of all of the other's coverings.

It's a pleasant surprise that they come off with little force, enough for his fingers to experimentally wiggle in the gaps and remove the wood covering Trahearne's lower half. It's a far cry from removing clothes, and not something he'd ever think he'd be stripping from a partner, but he drops them aside all the same.

He is. Not expecting what's underneath, and the faint widening of his eyes is luckily also hidden from view, but he doesn't linger nor comment. No need to feed an ego, now.

He lets himself drop once again, bare skin against bare skin, and rocks his own lightly into Trahearne's erection as bare fingers come up to glide up the length of it. ]


But if we're talking about honesty, perhaps we can address yours. [ A thumb circles the tip, fingers coiling around the length of it. ] You sound like you need something.
