Thaddeus simply smiled at Alfarinn’s reply, thinking that his companion didn’t know what he was getting himself into, but no one could say he hadn’t tried to give warning. He was about to make some passing effort at movement, but it seemed his companion wasn’t quite through yet and he couldn’t very well argue with that. Muscles twitched in anticipation before relaxing under deft hands and he bit down on his lower lip as his companion kissed the delicate skin on the backs of his knees. Smiling when Alfarinn got to his feet, he curled his toes in response to the touches, opening his eyes for a moment before closing them in pleasure as his companion made his way back up his body. He let Alfarinn move his legs out of the way, thinking that at the moment his lover could likely bend him about like a poseable doll without hearing a word of complaint.
He hissed in a sharp intake of air when he felt cool hands running down his chest, tucking one arm underneath him to give Alfarinn more room. As those hands trailed lower he didn’t think he’d ever been more awake in his life, though the teasing touches were putting him in a somewhat dreamy state of mind.
Pushing up on his forearm, he twisted around as best he could to regard his companion, smirking.
[You have my full attention, my love.]
He managed to bend one knee up underneath him, pushing himself up to move allow the other leg to join it, then used both arms and legs to lift himself quite comfortably onto Alfarinn’s legs, leaning back against his companion’s chest. Tilting his head back as far as he could and turning to one side, he reached up behind him and pulled Alfarinn down for a kiss.
[You have me.]
Apartment Sweet Apartment
Getting the wolf home was easier than he expected; once Skodde was coaxed into leaving the small brownstone by the bone he followed readily enough. Alfarinn smiled at him and set the bone down in the kitchen.
"You've been very good. Thank you, Skodde."
Who knew what Lykaios had called the canine but without some sort of collar or tag there was no object upon which to possibly garner such information.
He placed Natt's mate on the counter and saw Natt settle in protectively beside her. Digging around in the kitchen, he found them both some suitable food before considering the animals all taken care of for the moment.
Alfarinn turned back to Thaddeus with a grin and leaned in towards his companion. Feeling around in Thaddeus's pockets for his phone, he felt the extra touches were absolutely necessary. Alfarinn layed his arm gently on Thaddeus's shoulder and dialed the number with the tip of his thumb; leaning in for a quick kiss while he waited for it to connect, he then put the phone to his ear and headed down the hall.
It was a quick conversation to let Dani know that they and the wolf were home safe and he thanked her again for coming to help them so quickly and so much.
He hung up the phone and set it on the counter in the bathroom and then moved to turn on the water for the shower. Setting out a couple of towels, he then carefully undressed here on the tile lest he track more grime than necessary elsewhere. Piling up the clothes into a small stack off to one side, Alfarinn turned to his companion.
"So shall we conserve more water? Behaving or not is entirely optional."

Alfarinn put his arms around Thaddeus as his companion pushed back to sit in his lap. It felt so good to hold him this way, both comforting and arousing at the same time.
[Oh good, I'd hate for you to miss out on all the fun I'm having by being asleep.]
His smart remarks and lecherous thoughts ended at the kiss, the later simply because all thought seemed to leave him except that of soft lips and gentle hands. Alfarinn returned the embrace with fervor finding it hard to get enough of touching Thaddeus, each one an assurance that they were here and alive but he felt he needed one more and a then another...
Pulling back after a moment, he bent down to nuzzle the back of his lover's neck. Alfarinn smiled at Thaddeus's statement; he did have him and it was a wonderful thing. It seemed liked ages ago that he worried about whether he was loved in return or whether he was good enough for his companion, whether Thaddeus would grow weary of their differences but it was not all that long ago really, mere months. At some point He had stopped worrying about being worthy of the wonderful man he held; though he might wonder what Thaddeus saw in him, the truth was that he could feel Thaddeus's love, undeniable and ever present. Tonight though the assurance he needed was physical, he still felt a partial disbelief that they were alive; his fears had not been realized, nor Thaddeus's, this time neither of them survived alone.
[I do. ]
He ran his hands along his lover's chest, glad that the wounds had healed to the point that it was hard to distinguish them through touch alone. Alfarinn could still see them all too well in his mind and gently kissed and nipped Thaddeus's neck in hopes of distracting them both.
[But do I have all of you? ]
Alfarinn smirked and moved one hand lower to gently stroke his companion.
[After all it might go somewhere. I should hold on to it to be certain.]
[ Are you comfortable? ]
He was useless as a blanket for the most part and Thaddeus had been cold; though he was sure they could find some activity to keep themselves warm.

Thaddeus snuggled contentedly into Alfarinn’s chest, for the moment completely wrapped up in kissing with increasing passion. His back arched of its own accord when his companion moved to his neck and he made a soft hum of approval. Cool fingers made their way down his skin, moving down in a teasing trail before taking hold of him, eliciting a gasp as his eyes closed in pleasure.
He was fairly certain his companion’s bout of quiet was not out of concern for various body parts mysteriously escaping, but as Alfarinn seemed interested in focusing on…other things…Thaddeus thought to do the same.
[Anything to put your mind at ease.]
Even as flexible as years of fencing had made him, he knew he wouldn’t last much longer twisted around as he was without starting to feel uncomfortable. At the moment he found he was rather opposed to moving, though a part of him understood that he wasn’t currently in the best position to see and touch his companion. On the other hand, he was quite enjoying Alfarinn’s…hand…exactly where it was. Deciding that they could certainly be kissing while he held his minor internal debate, he shifted his weight so his head rested on Alfarinn’s other shoulder and ran his lips over his lover’s jawline.
[As much as I am enjoying this…] He took Alfarinn’s hand in his own, lifting it to his lips to give the wrist a gentle kiss. […I think we can live dangerously for a moment.]
Sliding off his companion’s legs, he turned around, rising to his knees and leaning in to kiss Alfarinn at a much more comfortable angle. He pushed them as one back onto the bed, supporting his companion’s weight with one hand and his own with the other. Reaching down to adjust Alfarinn’s legs, he balanced on his knees between them and ran one hand along the outside of one thigh, taking a moment to simply enjoy the sight underneath him before leaning down. Starting at the collarbone, he kissed his way up the side of Alfarinn’s neck, nipping gently at delicate skin. He moved slowly, though he never paused until reaching Alfarinn’s ear, which he naturally gave proper attention.
[You did say I could do that again and I imagine it doesn’t get much less vertical than this.]
He pushed up on his hands for a moment to smile down at his companion and found he couldn’t take his eyes away from the sight of Alfarinn beneath him. He could hardly breathe for the desire and need, so strong he was frozen with it. His arms, however, seemed in danger of giving out, and he lowered himself back down, resting more of his weight on Alfarinn.
Trailing fingertips along his companion’s side, he bent down again and planted a gentle kiss just behind Alfarinn’s ear.
[Quite safe from falling, I should hope.]

He found feeling and hearing his companion did put him at ease and Alfarinn's mind began to focus on things other than the night's brush with death.
[ It does...Thank you]
Looking a little bewildered at the kiss on his wrist, he was not up for complaining. It seemed likely that Thaddeus would want to move so he was not at all surprised. He was a bit startled to find himself being gently lowered to the bed. Alfarinn smiled up at his lover as one slender hand made its way up his thigh.
[ Risk taker! ]
He found he rather enjoyed looking up at Thaddeus and watching his lover so confident above him. It was probably better for him to not rest his weight on his companion's chest tonight anyway; even though it were likely healed enough not to cause him pain, Alfarinn would still worry about it.
Making up his mind that he was content to rest here was about as far as he got before Thaddeus distracted him in one of the best possible ways. He sighed contentedly at the gentle touch of lips along his skin, trailing one hand slowly down Thaddeus's spine. The sigh became a soft moan as his lover got to his ear and his hand pressed down on his companion's lower back as he arched up to him.
[...I did and I don't regret it for a moment. ]
When Thaddeus leaned back, he trailed his fingertips along his companion's chest as he watched him. Did he look at his companion this way? Alfarinn decided that he must, and he felt a flush of desire and self conscious pleasure and being the object of such a gaze.
Closing his eyes when Thaddeus bent down to kiss him gently, he sent.
[ I believe I've already fallen ... hopelessly and completely. ]
In love, into a new life, into Thaddeus. Perhaps it had been partly a leap and partly a fall. Certainly in the beginning it had been unexpected for both of them. Whatever the case, Alfarinn would not change a thing and that reminded him of a sonnet. With a grin he began to recite it, holding Thaddeus close and running his fingers through his lover's hair.
"When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least:
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee,--and then my state
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings."
Kissing Thaddeus gently, he smiled.
"Shakespeare is quite right. With you in my life, I would not trade places with anyone."
((OOC: Shakespeare's Sonnet 29. Always was a favorite and it would seem Alfarinn agrees. ))

Thaddeus Grey

Thaddeus smiled softly at Alfarinn’s words; so like his companion to take his statements figuratively when he was speaking literally, just as he was often apt to do the reverse.
[Fortunately I’m with you in that, though the thought makes me more hopeful than ever.]
Smiling to show he understood what Alfarinn had meant, he rested his head on his companion’s chest, listening, feeling the vibrations of his voice and the fingers running through his hair. He smiled in recognition, though the words did not come to him as easily as they once had.
[Shakespeare was right about a good many things. It’s been years since I heard him, thank you.]
Interesting, he thought, that an Elder of Evenhet could identify with that particular piece; someone who, for all appearances, had everything a man could want. That it was Thaddeus that brought him contentment. He wondered what sort of different life Alfarinn might have dreamed of in trying times. To have someone to lay in bed with, to recite sonnets and touch and kiss even after all they had been through? Had either of them truly known that this was what they needed? Thaddeus certainly hadn’t, and in spite of telling Alfarinn he would soon be impossible to live with the truth was that he found he was consistently humbled by the thought.
Lifting up his head, he reached up and brushed his fingers along Alfarinn’s cheek, trailing down to brush lightly against his companion’s throat and the nearly healed skin there. That too was humbling; frightening in a way and awe-inspiring in another. That he had come so close to losing the man he loved and needed so much, that they had survived, that Alfarinn still wanted to be with him. It was enough to break his heart and rebuild it all at once.
He bent down to kiss at the hollow of Alfarinn’s throat, just lightly brushing his lips over skin, and gently ran his fingers through blonde hair.
[We made it. We’re here.] The thought made him smile and he pushed up on his elbows. [Look at you.] Bending down, he kissed lower on his companion’s chest. [My love.]
The thought gave him a sense of pride; pride in his companion, for the strength he had shown today, pride for what the two of them had built together. Something so strong that it made them a force to be reckoned with. The only thing more fierce than that was the affection he felt in this moment, the desire to hold and touch and love his companion, to show him the things that even Shakespeare could never quite put into words, great poet or not.
He ran his hand down Alfarinn’s side to his hip, then inward, up that smooth chest and back to one sculpted shoulder, trailing down his arm, regarding his companion with not so much hesitation as gentle inquiry.
[Is this okay?]
The question seemed somewhat awkward even in his ears, though he felt it needed to be asked under the circumstances. They had, after all, been through quite a bit tonight already and he might be asking too much of his companion.
Wanting to assure Alfarinn that he would understand if this wasn’t what he wanted, he gave a soft kiss to one shoulder and took his hand, lightly squeezing the fingers.
[I don’t want to hurt you. I never want to see you hurt.]
[Fortunately I’m with you in that, though the thought makes me more hopeful than ever.]
Smiling to show he understood what Alfarinn had meant, he rested his head on his companion’s chest, listening, feeling the vibrations of his voice and the fingers running through his hair. He smiled in recognition, though the words did not come to him as easily as they once had.

Alfarinn watched as Thaddeus leaned away from him, he smiled up at his lover wondering what thoughts or random bits of poetry might be going through his head. A part of him wondered how his mind could stray so far from its original thoughts to be quoting love sonnets; however, another part of him knew the progression his mind had taken and it was perfectly sane and logical. Thaddeus had a way of helping things change for the better and his own thoughts seem no less effected than anything else.
As the fingers trailed over his throat, he reached out to reassure wrapping his arms lightly around his companion's waist. It would seem though that Thaddeus was alright and not thinking terribly depressing thoughts. He ran his hand up to lightly touch Thaddeus's neck when his lover leaned down to kiss his throat.
[Yes, I think that fact is finally sinking in with me also. I can't seem to reassure myself enough; I hope you don't mind.]
Alfarinn moved his hands around to Thaddeus's chest, spreading his fingers out wide in an effort to touch as much of his partner as possible as he lightly ran them down his lover's skin. That Thaddeus seemed content to simply watch him and touch him made perfect sense to Alfarinn, he felt the same need.
[ I'm enjoying my view, Beloved. ]
He smiled at Thaddeus in confusion a moment. 'Was it ok? It was more than ok.' Alfarinn wondered what had given Thaddeus cause for concern over the gentle caress.
[Mmm? Oh! ]
His smile became wider at the thoughtfulness Thaddeus had for him.
[I've never been better in my life.]
And that was true in every way other than physical and Alfarinn considered that a minor issue in the whole balance of things but that line of reasoning did not answer Thaddeus's question.
[You won't hurt me. ]

Thaddeus Grey

Thaddeus closed his eyes at the feel of cool hands running over his chest, drinking in the touches and the building passion. Alfarinn’s words about made his heart stop for a moment, though he simply smiled gently, somewhat at a loss and overcome with tenderness.
[I won’t.]
He leaned forward to capture that mouth with his own, kissing deeply, pulling back to suck gently on the lower lip before brushing his lips against Alfarinn’s, dragging lightly, stroking soft blonde hair as his other hand traced down to one hip, trailing along the outside. Pulling away more to catch his breath and his wits than anything else, he offered his companion another somewhat shy smile before pushing up with his hands and rising to his knees on the bed.
[Don’t go anywhere.]
Leaning back and catching himself on one hand, he twisted around to reach the side table and open the drawer, taking out the small tube he had so audaciously purchased such a short time ago. Smiling, he returned to Alfarinn, leaving the tube to rest within reach for the moment. On his hands and knees overtop of his companion, he carefully lowered himself until their bodies nearly touched before rubbing his cheek lightly against Alfarinn’s nuzzling into that smooth neck before taking a playful nip at the earlobe.
He rose to his knees once more, finding he rather enjoyed this angle, and ran his hands down Alfarinn’s chest, running them to the outsides of toned thighs before swirling inward and around, parting his companion’s legs a bit more as he touched.
He couldn’t seem to stop touching, running his hands along the insides of Alfarinn’s thighs, down to stroke strong calves and up again, for a moment completely intoxicated by the feel of his companion’s skin. Perhaps it was partly a need to touch as much as he possibly could and partly a need to calm his own nerves, which were gradually becoming increasingly present, though in all honestly not as much as he had expected.
Not totally sure of what he was going to say but feeling the need to say something, he spoke, surprising himself with the steadiness of his voice.
“You are breathtaking.”
Bending down, he let one cheek rub against Alfarinn’s thigh, curling low and letting his hair hang down in his face. He tilted his head to one side and let just the edges of his hair brush against skin, moving slowly to drag along his companion’s length, first up, then down again, following with warm breath. Moving further up, he let hair and cheeks and lips run over his companion’s firm abdomen as one hand trailed down to wrap around that cool length, stroking lightly.
[I believe I’ll just hold onto this for the moment. After all, it seems one never knows what could happen to such things.]
[I won’t.]

Alfarinn held on to Thaddeus lightly, gliding his hands along his lover's sides and then resting them gently on his companion's hips as he concentrated more fully on the passionate kiss that made him long for another one. A part of him wanted to pull Thaddeus back down as his lover pulled away but he was enjoying laying back and accepting Thaddeus's attention in the manner in which his lover saw fit to give it.
[ I think I can manage to obey that imperative. ]
He watched Thaddeus turn away and felt a sense of anticipation for the return of his companion's attention. It was just a brief moment but he was unused to being the one waiting. Thaddeus did not take long, nor was it difficult to see what he was reaching for but that merely heightened the sense of expectancy and when Thaddeus leaned down to rub his cheek affectionately against his own, Alfarinn sighed softly at the renewed contact.
The gentle gliding of hands along his thighs and down his legs made him yearn for more. It was quickly making him want to move and to touch in return but he held still, only brushing his finger tips lightly along whatever skin his companion put within easy reach as the delicious need continued to build within him. Aflarinn found himself smiling at the heights of pleasure his lover could take him to by simply touching him.
He sensed anticipation from Thaddeus and yet a nervousness as well though slight it brought out the need to reassure. Alfarinn reached up then and took hold of one of the hands sliding so smoothly across his chest and brought it up to his lips, kissing the fingers gently.
[I love everything you do to me. ]
Alfarinn looked down at the sudden compliment and tried not to blush, not entirely sure he was successful.
"I am glad you think so."
He found himself breathing in sharply in order to not move or make a sound as Thaddeus's teased him gently with the soft strands of blonde hair that swept along his length; the urge to move, touch and hold was something of a delightful madness. When Thaddeus did finally place one hand around him, Alfarinn could not stop the soft moan of relief and he was amazed again at how well Thaddeus knew him, the waiting and anticipation was a sweet torture in the best sense, causing him to yearn for each small touch and when Thaddeus finally took a hold of him Alfarinn found the pleasure of it too much to contain without some sound escaping. He arched his back into the kisses along his skin, unable to stay completely still any longer.
[ I believe it is in excellent hands. ]
[ I think I can manage to obey that imperative. ]
He watched Thaddeus turn away and felt a sense of anticipation for the return of his companion's attention. It was just a brief moment but he was unused to being the one waiting. Thaddeus did not take long, nor was it difficult to see what he was reaching for but that merely heightened the sense of expectancy and when Thaddeus leaned down to rub his cheek affectionately against his own, Alfarinn sighed softly at the renewed contact.
The gentle gliding of hands along his thighs and down his legs made him yearn for more. It was quickly making him want to move and to touch in return but he held still, only brushing his finger tips lightly along whatever skin his companion put within easy reach as the delicious need continued to build within him. Aflarinn found himself smiling at the heights of pleasure his lover could take him to by simply touching him.
He sensed anticipation from Thaddeus and yet a nervousness as well though slight it brought out the need to reassure. Alfarinn reached up then and took hold of one of the hands sliding so smoothly across his chest and brought it up to his lips, kissing the fingers gently.
[I love everything you do to me. ]

Thaddeus bit down on his lip as Alfarinn kissed his fingertips, his breath hitching, finding that the affectionate words combined with the undeniably sensual gesture only made his desire more pronounced.
It was, however, nothing compared to the electric shiver that ran through him when Alfarinn moaned and moved against him. His eyes flickered before deciding to remain open, eyelashes brushing along skin.
Continuing to kiss and touch, he reached out with the hand not otherwise engaged with touching his companion in slow, careful strokes and wrapped his fingers around the tube he had temporarily abandoned. He let that warm in his hand for the moment, occupying himself with the pleasurable task of enjoying the body underneath him, kissing teasingly around his companion’s navel, down to the hollow of one hip, back up to the line where ribs ended.
He pulled back when the tube no longer felt cool against his palm, though he continued gently stroking as he settled himself in a more upright position between Alfarinn’s legs.
Realizing that quite shortly neither of them would be terribly concerned over small comforts, he still felt this was something of a last opportunity to make Alfarinn as comfortable as he could.
[No escape attempts, I promise.] He set down the tube for a moment and twisted around, reaching as far back as he could without letting go of Alfarinn, and managed to grab the edge of a pillowcase, dragging it closer to get a better grip before turning around again. Smiling in a somewhat self depreciating manner, he gave one last stroke before pulling his hand away and leaning forward to tuck the pillow under Alfarinn’s head.
[I thought that would be better for you.]
Returning to previous engagements, he ran his hand down his companion’s chest, stopping only briefly to brush teasingly over one nipple before moving further down to resume the light stroking. He picked up the tube once more and managed the cap with one hand in spite of the slight tremble. Squeezing some on his fingers, he evenly coated them before slowing his other hand’s movements even more. At the same time, he brought his fingers between Alfarinn’s legs to brush over his companion’s entrance, his touch still light at first though after a moment pressing more firmly before smoothly sliding one finger inside. Slowly drawing it out again, he let another finger join the first as he regarded his companion with an almost studious expression, watching for the slightest sign of discomfort and keeping his twitching anticipation in check.
His lover was, Thaddeus thought, truly amazing this way; the thought was refreshed with every glance, every movement, every second. As he slid his fingers outward he resumed his pace with his other hand, stroking up and down the shaft and sweeping his thumb over the tip. Soon he was moving both hands in a careful rhythm, completely focused on his companion.

Alfarinn sighed in pleasure, moving against Thaddeus above him, running his hands over graceful shoulders and down the smooth line of Thaddeus's back. He kissed his lover in return leaning back only to catch his breath at slow strokes and tantalizing lips.
When Thaddeus leaned away again, Alfarinn raised his eyebrows in surprise. The pillow was such a sweet gesture of affectionate concern amidst the passionate oblivion that was building on both parts. Alfarinn actually found himself momentarily misty eyed and blinked slowly, reaching up to run his fingers down Thaddeus's jawline.
[ I am truly blessed to be with you. ]
The renewed touch over his chest was thoughtful as well, giving him a moment to adjust before resuming the teasing strokes that had him so keyed to each kiss and gesture. He wondered if Thaddeus even noticed some of the small things that he seemed to do with his lover's benefit in mind or if there was in his companion such a deeply caring nature that some actions were done without the exact purpose of being thoughtful and yet they were perfectly so just the same. No, Alfarinn dismissed the thought with a small grin, Thaddeus did indeed have a deeply caring nature but his every act was conscious and deliberate as well as compassionate.
All thought, even of the wonderful nature of his companion, fled Alfarinn's mind at the press of warm slick fingers against him and he could not help but to arch and move when Thaddeus's fingers slid inside him with careful ease. The steady rhythm of his lover's hands was driving him insane with desire and his legs trembled with the urge to push in return. Alfarinn leaned up to better regard his companion who was so carefully striping him of the ability to reason. He longed to feel Thaddeus inside him and to hold him close as they moved together. Reaching out a hand to stroke gently along one of his lover's arms, he spoke with quiet pleading.
"Thaddeus... please."

Every touch seemed somehow magnified on sensitive skin as Alfarinn’s fingers trailed along Thaddeus’s jaw line, and he instinctively closed his eyes and leaned into the caress before coming back into focus. The look in his companion’s eyes, the feelings conveyed through the bond and the words in his mind, all for such a seemingly small gesture, something he had done almost instinctively, only thinking to make Alfarinn more comfortable, filled him with a mix of affection and puzzlement. He sent almost insistently.
[I love you, Alfarinn.]
Seeing his companion arch and move against him filled him with a nearly unbearable longing for more closeness and he smiled in pleasure at the light touch to his arm before the softly spoken words registered and he looked down in quiet awe. Somewhat shaken by the need in his companion’s voice, a flush of heated desire coursed through him and every muscle in his body seemed to melt into the bed. He was somewhat amazed to find he was still upright.
Carefully withdrawing his fingers, he simply nodded, not trusting himself to speak. He had no idea how he managed to hold the tube still while he coated himself, and he took a steadying breath before bringing his other hand up to rest beside Alfarinn, leaning over as he aligned himself with his partner.
“Yes, of course, yes.”
Wrapping his arm around one thigh, he slowly eased into his companion, closing his eyes for a moment and sighing at the sensation of being at one with his lover, inside him, so impossibly close and perfectly wonderful. His eyes flickered open and the world slowed down, his breathing nearly non existent, but the blood seemed to race through him so hard and fast that he was sure it was visible through the thin skin of his throat.
Just as quickly as he was aware of that everything caught up to him at once. Alfarinn underneath him, willing and loving and wanting; the trembling in his arms and the unbelievable pleasure of being with his love. He sank down carefully onto one elbow, brushing his cheek against cool skin and sending quiet incoherencies as he stilled.
[My beautiful man, my love, my Alfarinn…Alfarinn…]

Thaddeus's sending brought his thoughts back into focus for a moment; Alfarinn smiled and regarded his companion as he replied
[ Sometimes you simply amaze me. And I love you, Thaddeus.]
He let his head sink back into the pillows and let his senses be overwhelmed by the skillful hands of his lover and the affection and desire of both of them. It was always so rich and deep and meaningful, wiping away all the past experiences where he closed off his empathy as much as possible, afraid of what he might feel from his partner, with Thaddeus it as so open and free, perfect in the acceptance of things as they were.
Alfarinn leaned his head to the side to watch Thaddeus through dark lashes, using the pause in stimulation to simply watch and appreciate his love. Watching that graceful hand slide along its owner's length made him flush with anticipation and desire.
Thaddeus was careful and patient as he entered him just as Alfarinn knew that he would be. When his lover leaned down towards him on trembling arms, he reached out to pull him close, kissing him with all the passion within him.
Leaning back, Alfarinn closed his eyes for a moment, taking in the feeling of Thaddeus over him and within him. With a shudder of longing, his patience gave out and he pushed against Thaddeus, pulling his companion close at the same time.
[ My Beloved ]
His companion's words stirred him and though he was not so eloquent in reply, Alfarinn was moved by the overwhelming affection and desire of his love. Reaching up, he placed both hands on the sides of Thaddeus's face and gently pulled him down for another kiss, then sliding his hands lightly down his companion's neck and across his shoulders.
[I have never wanted... -needed- someone this much in my life. ]
And that thought did not frighten him as it once did.

Thaddeus let his mouth part over Alfarinn’s, held in that kiss, returning it hungrily, sinking into the oblivion of his companion’s lips against his own, that cool lean body underneath him. Watching Alfarinn lay back and let eyelids fall closed, mouth flushed and thoroughly kissed, he drank the tranquil moment, the stillness like a rest in a symphony, enhancing what would come.
He moaned softly as Alfarinn pushed against him, long past the point of inhibition for such sounds. He was, in fact, past any sort of inhibition when it came to Alfarinn, or at least he imagined he easily could be. His companion had deftly pried away his insecurities and fears, bit by bit, showing him in every way that he was sheltered in his lover’s arms.
[Mmm, what you do to me…you have no idea…]
He closed his eyes as Alfarinn pulled him down, kissing softly and giving over completely to a gentle rhythm within his companion, rocking his hips smoothly and slowly. Shivering at that sensation combined with the touch along his neck and shoulders, he let his lips move down to his lover’s jawline, then lower to the pale curve of Alfarinn’s neck, tasting the skin there as he moved.
Alfarinn’s words brought with them a wave of affection so profoundly touching that he could only whimper quietly in response, nuzzling into his companion’s neck. He felt so deeply loved and wanted more than anything to show Alfarinn that he was loved in return; it was an aching need that surpassed even the physical. Lifting up his head once more, he kissed Alfarinn’s mouth, gently sucking on the lower lip, desiring both to assure his companion and assert what he knew to be true. While Alfarinn did not seem to have any doubts on the matter, it felt good and right to tell his companion as often as he could that his trust was not misplaced, that his feelings were appreciated and returned.
[I am yours. You have me so completely…So complete.]
Still moving gently, he carefully shifted his weight onto his other elbow, turning to brush his cheek against his companion’s. He took a moment to lightly stroke blonde hair before following a strand with his fingers over Alfarinn’s shoulder and down his chest, brushing over one hip with the back of his hand before making his way inward, wrapping around his lover’s length once more.

Alfarinn opened his eyes and smiled at the words Thaddeus sent to him; his companion had a way of doing things to him that he would not have imagined possible and it was reassuring to find that it was the same for Thaddeus.
[...sometime you'll have to tell me.]
He could spend all night happily doing the same, at least until it led to more of this, which thinking of all the ways he found Thaddeus tempting and irresistible was likely to do. At this moment, however Thaddeus was making it difficult to think; Alfarinn sighed and ran his hands down Thaddeus's back gently pressing them together and enjoying the weight of his lover on top of him. He found that he felt so safe and loved this way though Thaddeus was very capable of making him feel that way quite often.
[Mmmm...]
The gentle touch of his lover's lips and the steady movement inside him made him gasp and move, wanting as much of Thaddeus as he could touch and kiss. His companion's affectionate rub against his neck made him smile and Alfarinn took one hand away from its exploration of pale skin in order to run it slowly through the blonde strands of hair.
He truly loved the light tug on his lip that was a habit of Thaddeus's and returned the gesture once his own was released. Feeling that his lover's neck had been neglected for long enough to almost be a crime, Alfarinn leaned forward to run his lips in a feather light touch across the sensitive skin before giving the area near the collarbone a gentle nip and working his way back up.
Alfarinn paused at the thoughts sent to him and held his companion tighter to him a moment, burying his head in Thaddeus's shoulder.
[ And I'm yours, Thaddeus ]
They were complete together, he could not imagine living without Thaddeus, nor did he want to try. It was a darkness that he refused to look into before this night and while the danger was not over, they'd survived so far and once this was finished they could put it behind them and contemplate eternity together.
Thaddeus's hand slid down his chest and over his hip, griping him once more; Alfarinn bit his lip and moved harder against his lover. Kissing Thaddeus's shoulder, he leaned his cheek against it and held his companion close tilting his hips and pushing in time to his partner's rhythm.
[The things you do to me...]

Thaddeus considered Alfarinn’s comment, surprised to find that he rather liked the idea of simply talking about the things they enjoyed in each other. Of course, he might feel differently about that particular matter when the time actually came to put together a coherent sentence on the subject; he knew he was somewhat shy of speaking about such things though with Alfarinn he really shouldn’t be. Reasoning that was something that was certainly worth the effort to overcome for the sake of being closer to his lover, he smiled softly as his companion pressed them together and lightly stroked his hair.
[Some day. Consider it a date, and you can hold me to that.]
Smiling at the thought of the two of them having a date, he made a soft hum of appreciation as Alfarinn moved down to his neck, skin tingling with anticipation and little shocks of pleasure. Feeling his lover so vivid and alive underneath him, moving against him, pressing closer, touching his hair and pouring affection into each kiss, made him want to push and move faster in response. For the time being he kept that desire in check, enjoying the build of pleasure and the closeness far too much to give over to pure impulse.
Instead he rested his cheek on the top of Alfarinn’s head, finding he enjoyed the way they lined up, his lover nestled in his shoulder as they moved together. At his lover’s response he smiled softly, never doubting the words for a moment though he had not expected the sentiment.
[We have each other, then.]
And even when everything else in the world was going terribly wrong it was an immeasurable comfort to have Alfarinn in his life and to know he was accepted as a part of his companion’s. His smile broadened at his partner’s apparent enjoyment as he began to stroke in time with their movements, though the expression turned to one of closed-eyed bliss as Alfarinn began to move more firmly against him. He found he couldn’t have stopped himself from responding in kind even if he had tried and gasped in pleasure as their pace quickened.
[You mean like this?]
That said, he shifted downward, nudging his companion’s head to one side and securing his lips around one earlobe. With a delicate flick of his tongue he pulled away, sliding his cheek over soft hair and pressing as close to Alfarinn as he could.

Normally Alfarinn would have melted bonelessly at the expert touch of Thaddeus's lips on his ear, as was testified to by him nearly falling into a useless heap in the bathroom earlier but at the moment it heightened the other sensations that were already going on. A shiver ran down his spine, and Alfarinn closed his eyes and held Thaddeus tighter making a silent plea to the powers that be that he not be overcome just yet. When he opened his eyes once more, Alfarinn growled low in his throat and fixed his lover with a hungry gaze before answering.
[ That demands retaliation! ]
Alfarinn caressed Thaddeus's neck with lips and tongue, kissing and tasting before dragging his teeth lightly along the skin. He left it as a promise before leaning back to smile at his companion and occupy Thaddeus's skillful lips in a kiss before his lover was tempted return the challenge.
Laying back then against the pillows, he watched Thaddeus above him through eyes half closed in pleasure. The light blonde hair that had gotten longer since they'd become acquainted fell forward on both sides framing that handsome face and swayed gently with their actions, shoulder muscles moved under pale skin, and grey eyes watched his own with an expression that made him murmur softly and reach up run his hand along one cheek.
"So beautiful..."
He leaned forward again and rested his cheek on Thaddeus's shoulder, their quicker pace quickly robbing him of his sanity. He felt capable of doing nothing more than holding on and enjoying it for the moment.
"Ah...gods..."
Still holding tightly, Alfarinn's patience warred with need and the latter was quickly winning; despite knowing that they would last longer with some pacing, he couldn't help but want more of his companion.
"Thaddeus...harder...please."
He pressed his lips to his lover's to further express his desire before tilting his head back, lips parting in ecstasy.
"Please..."

Knowing he was in trouble now for his mischief, Thaddeus smirked a little before Alfarinn went to his neck. He had remembered thinking that all bets were off and fair was, after all, fair, but his lover’s attentions were carefully breaking down any semblance of control, making him shudder in irrepressible pleasure. His entire body went warm and his breathing went shallow as Alfarinn dragged fangs over skin, filling him with indescribable longing. He spoke, his voice muffled somewhat breathless.
“Alfarinn…”
He whimpered in hungry protest when his companion pulled away, teasing and tempting with that smile. Before he could consider doing a bit of teasing of his own, though, he found he was completely engaged in his lover’s kiss, returning with his own passion.
Watching Alfarinn lay back with eyes half closed in pleasure was a truly stunning sight and he was somewhat surprised to hear his lover echoing his thoughts with regard to him. Sighing, he turned into the touch along his cheek, brushing his lips against his lover’s palm before Alfarinn pulled them closer together.
Being held tightly by his lover as he moved, feeling the vibrations in his chest as Alfarinn spoke, that incredible closeness and intense pleasure was enough to break him completely and his companion’s request for more was glass shattering into a million pieces. Gasping, he thrust his hips firmly into Alfarinn, tightening his grip, letting his mouth be captured in a kiss before his companion pulled away, head thrown back in pleasure, pale neck exposed and looking like temptation personified.
He leaned down, tilting his head to one side and finding his way to Alfarinn’s neck, burying himself in it, tasting skin and letting his lips part, sucking decisively as he pushed hard against his lover. Fangs ached to sink into flesh and he was in no position to deny that raw need, too far gone on passion and everything so close to the surface as it was. With a final soft moan he bit down, eyes closing in pleasure as he tasted rich blood and felt the bond flood his senses.
A part of his mind was dimly aware that he was not thinking with perfect clarity, that passion was overtaking his sense of reason as he came closer and closer to going over the edge. The restrained, composed Thaddeus that he was so familiar with, so used to being, had abandoned him completely and utterly by the second ‘please,’ leaving behind unmitigated passion. He fought for coherency in the moving tangle of bodies, his mind forming words that he could only hope were understood.
[Alfarinn, please, not without you, complete this…]

At Thaddeus's first hard thrust Alfarinn gasped softly, shuddering with the pleasure of it. He held on tightly, fingers pressed firmly against his lover as if he were afraid to let go, absurdly fearing he might get lost. Perhaps he feared losing himself in the ecstasy without Thaddeus or perhaps he simply feared his companion would disappear as if he were a mere dream should Alfarinn loosen his hold. But the firm strokes of his lover reminded him with each one that they were both very real and alive.
He tilted his hips to gratefully meet each thrust, nearly lost in the abandonment of passion. Opening his eyes, he was about to lean forward and make good on his earlier promise when Thaddeus's lips touched his own skin, Alfarinn had time to moan helplessly before he felt the irresistible warmth of Thaddeus's mouth on his neck. Everything seemed to be so sharply focused and the moan that escaped his lover's lips struck deep within the core of him.
Alfarinn managed to touch Thaddeus's neck with the barest of brushes when his lover's fangs sunk into his skin. Pressing himself further into his companion's neck, Alfarinn found he had stopped breathing. He was merely hanging on, shuddering with the sensations that rocked his body as Thaddeus pushed deep inside him and the bond flared open, combining in a moment of blinding pleasure.
There would have been no way he could have withstood such overwhelming stimulation and Alfarinn pressed his teeth into his lover's neck before he fully put together the words that Thaddeus had sent; it did not matter in any case, they were so close at this moment that it was understood with his very soul.
Trembling and yet still griping tightly, Alfarinn felt the waves of pleasure course through his body just as his love's blood seeped into his mouth.

Inevitability rushed up like pavement, unyielding and relentless, and the world went dazzling white as Thaddeus was overcome. Fangs slid into his neck as his body convulsed in pleasure, taking him to another height entirely as the bond was remade in overwhelming perfection.
He came to laying bonelessly over Alfarinn, one cheek pillowed in his companion’s neck, his hands now limp at his sides. He was breathing deeply, his body trembling, and there was something on his cheek, making his hair cling…was that tears? He wasn’t sure. He remembered a low noise in the back of his throat as his companion’s fangs broke skin, half growl and half sob, but he didn’t remember tears.
Unwilling to pull away just yet, he turned his head slightly and ran his tongue over the closing wounds in Alfarinn’s neck. The world was coming back into focus gradually, his senses returning at an unhurried pace. He focused on the rise and fall of Alfarinn’s chest, on the smell of his lover’s hair and the taste of blood that lingered in his mouth.
It was a long moment before he pried open unwilling eyelids and tilted his head back enough to regard his companion. This close Alfarinn looked somewhat blurry and out of focus and he blinked, trying to clear his vision. His brow creased in concern as the bruise on his lover’s neck registered. God, had he really done that?
[Are you alright?]
The idea that he had been so far gone he hadn’t realized how rough he was being shook his absolutes; Thaddeus was always in control, he never bit when he wasn’t fully aware of what he was doing. It was something he took great care in, to never let that side of him that was all too capable of causing harm take over. And yet the part of him that was concerned, frightened, remorseful, warred with the part of his mind that was busy remembering how incredible being with Alfarinn had been.
Confusion was not a comfortable feeling for Thaddeus; he much preferred decisive, determined, certain. He struggled to reconcile his internal arguments and waited for some confirmation from Alfarinn. While his companion had raised no objections in the heat of the moment, after the fact such things may look and feel quite different.

Alfarinn held Thaddeus close until his companion stilled. With a contented sigh, he reached up and brushed the hair away from his lover's eyes; his hand trailed across wet tracks making him instantly worried. Had his request discomforted Thaddeus in some way? Stroking a hand slowly along his lover's back Alfarinn sensed his companion and found now such troubles at the present, he relaxed and closed his eyes, touched that Thaddeus was so moved.
He reflected that it had an experience worthy of such expression; there was no way to really describe becoming so close to one person, with the bond fully open between, after such an ordeal as they had been through. It had wiped away all doubts and any traces of the dreamlike state of disbelief Alfarinn had found himself in when his mind registered that they had both survived.
Opening his eyes, he blinked at his companion in confusion. Had Thaddeus then been worried he'd hurt him after all? He brushed both his hands down his lover in a calming gesture and smiled.
"I don't think alright is adequate. I am wonderful."
Thaddeus had been looking at his neck and that puzzled him a bit, his lover had been worried about the bite? It was something that they had done before, but perhaps it was simply because of the injuries. He reached a hand up to his neck and brushed his fingers across it. There was still a bit of heat to it which was so different from his skin normally. Alfarinn sighed and looked up at Thaddeus.
[Would that it would last. I think I would have liked seeing it later.]
With that thought in mind and that he needed to clean up. Alfarinn sat up and headed to the bathroom. Taking a towel and some water, he cleaned himself off and smiled at the purplish bruise that was already beginning to fade in the mirror. It was a shame that the reminder of the evening would be so quickly gone but he did have Thaddeus with him to remind him often enough and that was infinitely better.
[ What is it that concerns you, Beloved? ]
Alfarinn brought back a towel and gently started cleaning Thaddeus as well.
