Essek's own pulse is speeding up quickly. The closer they are, the more Percival puts his hands on him, his mouth, the more difficult it becomes to think. It's more than just becoming aroused by his handsome husband's desire for him--the way Percival smells right now, thick and attention-grabbing, is making him wet. His breath stutters when he feels Percy's teeth on his ear, and he almost unconsciously leans into him when he finds the barest bit of skin to kiss high on his neck.

"I know you would. Dirty boy, you would love for everyone in that room to see how well you fuck me." His voice is lower still, barely above a whisper. "That does have a certain base appeal, but I am not for display."

A hand drops from Percy's shoulder to cover the one on his hip. Dark, slender fingers curl over paler, blunter ones and encourage him to take a fist full of the black fabric of his dress. "Everything beneath is for your eyes alone," he breathes. "Why should I want to show anyone else?"

Every word stokes the fire in him and feeling Essek's encouraging touch threatens to make him forget everything else. His fingers curl tightly, dragging up his husband's dress - not far enough to get a hand beneath it, not yet, but acknowledging that guidance. The way his mate echoes that possessive feeling in him threatens to undo him.

He tries to keep his breath steady.

"Essek..." There's almost a plea in his voice. Begging permission or begging his husband to stop before it goes too far, or some strained position between each pole. His arm tightens around Essek's waist, closing the scant space between them just to make sure the wizard can feel the shape of his aching cock through his formal wear.

"If you don't want me to fuck you here, right now--"

Percival doesn't quite finish the ultimatum. If Essek does not want him to drag his dress up and fuck him against this wall, he has to guide them elsewhere. Percy doesn't have it in him to navigate.

Percival, of course, takes the bait completely. Essek's triumph is short-lived, however, because as soon as he feels the length of his husband's very hard cock against his stomach, he also becomes acutely aware that he's already beginning to soak through the silk of his smallclothes, and his own cock is straining against the confines of the same garment.

As appealing as being fucked here right now sounds, it unfortunately falls on him to be the one to display a modicum of restraint here. "Come on, then," he murmurs, a little more rushed than he would like to appear.

Breaking from Percival's hold is a sad thing, but he doesn't go far. He takes his hand in a tight grip and hovers just ahead, leading him further down the hallway, low-lit and nearly as grand as the reception chamber and ballroom. He's looking for anything to duck behind--a cracked door, an alcove, a statue, even a particularly robust potted plant. Ultimately, he finds none of those things. But another hall, smaller and even less lit, veers off in a sharp right, and Essek takes it. It isn't cover, exactly, but it seems deserted, and isn't directly visible from the ballroom. This will have to do.

Nearly as soon as they are out of eyeshot from the doors, he backs against the wall and draws Percival against him by the belt. He leans up to kiss him as his fingers deftly release the buckle, and within a moment he has a hand slipped down the front of his trousers to cup his cock. Beneath the inscrutable dark fabric of his dress, Essek's thighs rub together urgently, as if that might actually do something to alleviate the pressure building between his legs. His cunt is already clenching around nothing.

"Here," he gasps against his husband's lips. In the low light, the violet of his eyes is almost luminescent. "Right now."

Percy groans, but he lets Essek pull him further down the corridor, then around a tight corner into another. Perhaps it's for the best that he left the decision to Essek, otherwise they would end up on the floor exactly where they were.

Further away from other scents and sounds, Essek fills his senses. Percival presses his husband into the wall, meeting the kiss with urgency as Essek's clever fingers work his belt and trousers open to get to his cock. Percy, usually who tends toward less noise during sex in general, cannot help another moan as his mate's hand slides over his aching erection.

His hands drop to Essek's hips so he can start hiking up the dress. "Fuck," he hisses, nearly brought to his knees by the scent of his mate's arousal. Percy doesn't even think as he bites Essek's neck, mostly getting a mouthful of fabric but finding some satisfaction in it anyway. He lifts his head, nose brushing Essek's cheek as he gets a hand beneath the heavy fabric. Tension rolls through him when he feels how damp the silk is between Essek's thighs and with very little ceremony, Percy pushes it aside to plunge two fingers into him. His mouth falls open and he grinds against Essek's hand and the back of his own. Even outside of his heat, Essek takes his fingers so easily just now and it makes him ache.

"Can you take me?" he murmurs, feeling delirious. Even going into rut - even as a wolf - not hurting Essek remains at the forefront of his mind.

With remarkably steady fingers, Essek strokes the stiff shaft of his husband's erection, lifting it carefully from his trousers as Percival successfully lifts his dress. The heat between his legs only grows as he curses and bites at his neck, and Essek moans sharply when his soaked smalls are quickly and crudely shoved aside and two thick human fingers push easily into his cunt, tight but yielding. A shiver courses through his body as he flutters around them, and he parts his thighs to allow more.

"Of course I can take you," he snaps, but with impatience rather than irritation. The concern is sweet, truly, but he simply does not have the time for it. He's obscenely wet for not being in heat--fuck, is he going to go into heat?--and he is already aching to be filled with his alpha's cock, currently cradled in his palm.

His head spins with the scent of his mate in rut flooding his senses. He's never smelled anything so uniquely appealing. Already it takes effort to remember where they are and why he has to keep his voice down.

"Fuck me," he gasps, hips rocking down onto the fingers buried inside him. "I won't go back there until I am full of your seed."

"Essek--" Percy tries to cut back a groan, voice tight as his husband makes his demands clear. His jaw gets tight as he withdraws his fingers. "Get your arms around my neck, darling."

It's no hardship for him to grab Essek by the back of his thighs and get him into the position he needs - easier still if the wizard has his floating cantrip going. Percival reaches down to guide himself, mind clouded with the urgency he feels and the scent of his mate. With a bit of coordination, he can finally push in. Essek is tight around him, but yielding, and Percy pushes his face against his husband's neck to muffle the sharp moan rising in his throat.

Essek always feels good, but the perfect, slick heat of him just makes Percy need him more. His hand slides to grip his husband's thigh, keeping it against his hip as he gives a thrust, making sure that he's buried.

"Of course you can," he sighs, sounding almost relieved to have at least this. To know that Essek is his and that his mate wants everything he has to give. "My beautiful, perfect husband--"

His praise comes with heavier breathing and Percival adjusts their position slightly to make it easier to fuck Essek the way he needs to.

The complete ease with which Essek is lifted against the wall proves that he hasn't released his anti-gravity cantrip, making him light as air in his husband's arms. Still, he does as instructed, wrapping his arms tight around Percy's neck. His nails scrape across the fine fabric of his coat as his cock sinks in. He gives a sharp little gasp, and again when Percival thrusts in to ensure he's taken all of it. His thighs tighten reflexively where they're spread around his hips.

No matter how often they do this, the stretch of taking him in is fresh and sweet, and it blanks out everything in his mind. Essek breathes out a decadent moan, savoring it. “Every time I forget how much you stretch me, how full I feel of you,” he whispers, dragging a hand down to touch where his husband's cock disappears inside him. His fingers brush his slick folds, the base of Percival's cock, and the slip of damp silk pushed hurriedly aside.

Maybe this should feel embarrassing or dirty, being so desperate they had to fall together in an open hallway, so rushed they didn't even remove his smalls, all so he could take his mate's cock sooner. But it doesn't. Well, perhaps it does feel a little dirty, but only in a way that arouses him more.

His rucked up dress hangs toward the floor, pushed up to his hips and held out of the way by the hands clutching his thighs.

Percy bows his head to keep it near Essek's. He breathes in sharply as elegant fingers brush the base of his cock where he thrusts into his husband, trying to fill him each time. Essek always knows how to work him up with words alone, having the slick, perfect heat of the drow's cunt around him as he hears them is almost too much.

He doesn't think he'll last like this, not with the sharpness and suddenness of the feeling in the base of his spine or the ache building in his core. He wants to breed Essek, feeling the urge the most intensely he has since Essek's heat. There's a faint swell at the base of his cock, not a full knot but certainly the threat of one as he plunges deep again. He nuzzles against Essek's neck, bites his ear as his grip tightens on Essek's dark thighs.

Vaguely aware that this will truly be quick, Percy lets go of one thigh so that he can get his hand around Essek's cock instead.

Oh, he knows his husband is far gone if he doesn't talk back. Percival likes to weave words like this possibly more than Essek does, to often devastating effect.

Essek tucks his face against the other man's neck to scrape his teeth against it, sharper when he feels the swell starting at the base of his cock push up into him on the next hard, full thrust. This pace is already wrecking him, his cunt clenching and pulsing as Percival's cock rubs along his tight walls just right, but the promise of a knot has him gushing, so wet and soft that it'll be easy for it to pop in and swell right up inside him.

On this, Essek is of two very opposing opinions: he can't put that in me now and he must put that in me now. Spending precious time tied is a fine way to get caught. But Light, how hot would it be if he knotted and bred him right now, where anyone could see? Even after months of discussion (and several enjoyable nights where they'd played at trying to get pregnant, knowing it was a slim possibility at best), he hasn't felt this primal desire to breed since his heat.

When his husband reaches for his cock, the silk slides just as easily off that too. Essek muffles a helpless cry against Percy's skin as he grips and strokes him just the way he likes. He's going to come in no time at all, he realizes, and he nearly can't believe it except that the pleasure permeating every inch of his body is so intense there could be no other outlet. His thighs squeeze around Percival's waist, his cunt squeezes around his cock, and he struggles to say the words he knows he should, don't knot me, because they are so antithetical to what he wants.

Even if Essek said them, Percy might be hard-pressed to hear those words in his current state. It has been a long time since he felt this mindless. Even when Essek was in heat, he felt like he had a modicum of control even when his husband didn't. Now? That edifice is crumbling quickly.

Essek is so wet and warm and perfect in his arms and every inch of him belongs to Percival. As his mate gets tight around him, Percy pushes as deep as he can. The swell at the base of his cock grows but, perhaps lucky for them both, this early in his heat it doesn't quite get big enough to fully lock Percy in. Still, he feels the pressure when he tries to draw back and so his instinct tells him not to. His entire body shudders as he comes, the relief of it sweeping through him along with the bliss.

He stays exactly as he is, not wanting to pull out even if he can. Percy leans his weight hard into Essek and the wall and his hand keeps moving between them, intent on getting his husband off while he's still buried deep.

Light, Essek loves his husband. Somehow his body comes up with an entirely perfect compromise all on its own, rendering his dilemma null. Like this, he can enjoy the visceral satisfaction of his knot without worrying over being stuck on it. Sharp eyeteeth catch against his lower lip, stifling a gratified moan as he feels the throb of Percival's cock inside him as he comes. Behind his back, Essek's feet in their elegant little slippers hook together at the ankles, keeping him right where he is.

From the waist up, only the deep flush in his face and his dilated pupils would give him away. Even his hair is still perfectly in place. But he only has to glance down between his legs, past his rucked up dress, to see otherwise. His folds are dark and swollen and shiny with slick, and his cunt stretches around the swell of his alpha's knot, positioned perfectly just inside his entrance--just big enough to work, but not so big that he couldn't pull out of him. Percival's hand strokes with purpose over his cock, drawn out of his hastily shifted smalls, and Essek's hips rock subtly to follow the movement. His walls clench around the fullness inside him, tighter and tighter as his pleasure builds past the point where he has any control at all.

Feeling intoxicated by the scent of the two of them together in a way he hasn't since his heat, he comes with a shiver, back arching as he clutches at his mate everywhere. His cock spills over Percival's hand and his own lower stomach, bright white against his dark skin. Only his husband will hear his muted whine.

Percy shudders as Essek tightens around him and he can feel his husband's body practically milking him for whatever he has left. He sighs heavily and leans into Essek, holding him where he is and using the wall for support while they both try to catch their breaths. Percival nuzzles against Essek's neck, kisses wherever he can find skin.

He might not be stuck inside Essek, but it still takes a little while for his knot to go down again.

"You're going to have a mess on your thighs," he murmurs against the drow's warm skin. Percy bites Essek's earlobe, avoiding the earring there. He recalls that Essek can cast Prestidigitation, but that's not the point. Percival will know that he bred his husband in a side corridor, and Essek will know it too.

He can't tell yet if this was a mistake or if it will help. All he wants is to take Essek away and hole up somewhere until his rut passes, but he doesn't want to cut this short if they don't have to. He'll have to make it a few more hours, at least.

Tipping his chin back to grant easier access to the strip of bare skin above the neck of his gown, Essek smiles, slow and satisfied and smug. His breath catches and his cunt flutters as Percy nips at his ear.

"I am counting on it." His voice is low and silky, spoken just loud enough to be heard between them. He does have Prestidigitation, but that doesn't mean he intends to use it. If he wants to return to that party still leaking his husband's come, that is his business.

But of course, whether he does or doesn't, and even if they both appear immaculate again, there is no hiding their scents--Percival's especially, as his rut becomes more pronounced. "Everyone is going to know that we stepped out so you could breed me," he murmurs, and lets his fingers drag up the back of Percy's neck, just enough to slide into his hair without disheveling it completely. "There certainly won't be any mistaking that I am yours."

Percival grins wickedly as Essek says things that are going to be stuck in his head all night now. He closes his eyes for a moment as his lover's fingers drag into his hair and he lifts his head to catch Essek in a firm kiss.

"No," he murmurs, voice low. "There will be no mistaking it now."

And that appeals to some base part of him made loud by his oncoming rut. He wants everyone to know - beyond the fact that they are married - that Essek Thelyss is his mate and his omega. Someday to be the father of their children. That thought alone earns a quiet groan and Percy kisses Essek again, tongue sweeping into his mouth to taste him.

Soon enough, it's easier for him to pull out of his husband's cunt and he has to resist the urge to just drop to his knees. If he does that, they'll be here for a while. Percy makes sure to let Essek down easy before he pulls away. It doesn't take much for him to cover up again and straighten his clothes, and once he has, he's there to help Essek do the same.

Nails raking back down his neck, Essek is caught up in the passion of his husband's kisses. His hips rock gently, shifting the knot inside him until Percival is ready to pull out. He unhooks his ankles from behind his back and gives him space, and just as quickly as he was full, he is empty again. His legs are a little unsteady when they're lowered, but thankfully there is no need for him to use them. He's been floating all this time.

As soon as Essek is upright and his cock is no longer keeping it inside, Percival's spend begins to drip from his entrance. Unconcerned, Essek simply tugs his smalls back into place as nonchalantly as they'd been pushed aside--though he does make sure Percival's eyes are on him when he does. If it becomes a problem, he'll use prestidigitation. Until then, this is a reminder for his alpha of what he can look forward to if he behaves.

After that, he only has to drop his dress and smooth it back out to appear perfectly polished.

"What do you think, my love? Will you be able to manage?" he asks, raising a hand to brush his fingers tenderly across Percy's cheek. "Or have I only made things worse?"

For himself, he certainly has. This all too brief interlude only leaves his body eager for more, to the point where he suspects this really might have triggered his heat--or that Percival's rut induces a very similar reaction, at least. But he is confident he will be able to keep his composure for as long as they need to remain here. He doesn't know if that will be the case for his husband.

Percival can't tear his gaze away as Essek covers himself again. It's only when his dress falls that he looks up again. He closes his eyes for a moment, turning his head into Essek's touch as his husband strokes his cheek. He still feels too warm and his heart is beating too fast, but he may just have to live with that.

"Hard to say," he admits as he opens his eyes again. He is momentarily satisfied, but there is also a part of him that wants to keep doing this until neither of them can move. He was to bury his face between Essek's thighs, tongue-deep inside him to taste where they mix. He can manage, he thinks. It won't be easy.

"There's no reason to stay through the end of this event," he says after a moment. "We'll give it another hour, maybe two, to conclude our business and leave cordially rather than in a rush."

Percival's struggle is plain to him, and as Essek cups his face in his palm, noting how hot his skin is, he feels a great deal of sympathy. He would also very much like to not be here. He would like to be alone with his husband--somewhere that he does not have to worry about being caught in a compromising position, preferably.

"I think that is a wise plan," he agrees. "But if we must leave in a rush, we will."

The determination he feels to protect, guide, and care for Percival is nothing new--it is a natural part of loving him. But the intensity of it now surprises him. He will see his mate through this. He is capable of being his reason, his restraint, and his balance, should he need it. And when he has him safely tucked away in their own space, he will be everything else he needs, too.

"Promise me you will not break any jaws," he demands with a note of gentle teasing, "and we will return to conclude what business we must."

Percy huffs a quiet laugh, but there's a raw edge to it.

"I'll try," he murmurs as he turns his head to nuzzle Essek's hair. He smells so good and Percival breathes a careful sigh. He needs to get through at least another hour of this, he needs to be able to calmly get through some farewells before collecting his husband to make an escape.

He turns Essek's face toward him so he can give his mate another firm kiss.

"We'll make our rounds," he says quietly, voice heavy. "Say our farewells and conclude business. And leave."

Percival forces himself to step away, because if he stays like this he's going to yank Essek's dress up again and they will never get out of this corridor.

As Percy pulls him into another kiss, Essek also recognizes the risk of getting drawn back into each other. Being close feels too good, and at the moment, that is a trap. When they are no longer touching, he misses the contact immediately, but he makes himself drift back in the direction of the ballroom, drawing his husband with him.

He is certain he can prevent Percival from punching anyone in the next hour--even if it means he has to rewind time a little.

The party is still in full swing, of course. After their little rendezvous, it feels even more overwhelming. When they are in public again, Essek allows himself to take Percival's arm, knowing that maintaining contact here will be essential. Despite putting their appearance back in order, Essek knows that what they have been doing is probably still written all over them, just as he'd mentioned. He's hyperaware of the mess dripping into his smallclothes, but that part is honestly quite thrilling.

Perhaps he shouldn't have indulged in something he knew would arouse him, but if he can't have a little fun, what is the point? He's certain that it is also helping to keep his mate's focus on him rather than any perceived slights or threats to his claim. Essek is certainly taking the lead tonight when it comes to wrapping up their business and making nice with those it would be beneficial to make nice with. The soft smile and pleasant small talk required are second-nature to him.

The results of their interlude keep Percy's attention locked on Essek, almost to the point of complete distraction. He cedes the lead to Essek, following him around almost like a puppy. He isn't quite so pitiful as one, nor is he quite so helpless. Indeed, it's for the best that Essek is staying close or he might get agitated again.

He's also grateful that Essek is playing the diplomat for them. Percival is still polite, he even manages to be charming in a handful of conversations, but it is taking a lot of mental effort to regulate himself.

The last people they speak to are their hosts. Percival apologizes that they must depart early and he lets Essek make the rest of their excuses. This is one of those moments in which he is so grateful that his husband has become his partner in all things - he is grateful that Essek is as invested in the governance and prosperity of Whitestone as Percy is. It means he can and does trust his husband to navigate moments like this with relatively little helpful input from him.

For better or worse, Essek is very good at smooth talking. Well informed about their goals here tonight, he manages to make the necessary connections in what time they have, and is charmingly gracious with their hosts when they beg off a little early. Doing all of this seamlessly while distracted by both Percival and his own body is the real challenge, but he manages.

When they finally depart after completing their farewells, Essek casts Sending as he steers his husband toward the entryway. After listening for a response, he leans up to murmur, "The carriage is ready to return us to the inn. Just a little longer."

Unfortunately, the amount of traveling they've done today has left him without the magical reserves necessary to teleport them tonight. They have rooms rented here in Westruun, and though being home would be preferable, it will have to do until he has tranced. Better than an open corridor, at least.

Even closing the door to the carriage is a relief. Within moments of being alone Essek is pulling the curtains closed and leaning back into the seat opposite Percival. His breathing is audible as he hastily pulls up the dark fabric of his dress, bunching it around his hips again as his legs spread to reveal hopelessly soaked smallclothes and the just the sort of mess on his thighs Percival had anticipated.

"Come here and take care of this," he hisses. "Quickly."

A quiet, strained sound of frustration rises in his throat when Essek mentions returning to the inn. Percival understands, of course he does, that teleporting is not some minor spell and that Essek can only work with what reserves he has. There is nothing wrong with staying the night in an inn when they'd made arrangements to do so anyway. But the primal part of him wants to be surrounded by a familiar space, by one that is his. He will have to make due tonight.

Everything after that feels like a blur, and soon enough they are secluded in the back of a carriage and Essek his spreading his thighs, showing the mess they've made of him. Percy's heart is pounding again and without even a second of hesitation, he's on his knees with one hand firm on Essek's thigh, pushing it further out of his way as the other hand slides over his husband's hip. The scent of them here is thick, his own seed and Essek's sweet arousal.

Obedient, he bows his head to lick and kiss and suck the remnants of their efforts from Essek's thighs first. But that's nothing more than a tease to both of them and soon his hand moves to drag down his lover's smallclothes. His fingers bunch the fabric tightly as his tongue slides between slick, flushed folds. It doesn't occur to him to take his glasses off or even to push them up - but that is something that isn't unique to suddenly going into rut.

He moans against Essek and pushes his tongue deep with no interest in teasing his mate. His cock is already aching hard and he feels dizzy with the intense rush of arousal as it hits him. His tongue flicks in and out before he sweeps it up along Essek's slit to the base of his cock.

Perhaps he is in the wrong position for it, but as he watches his husband drop without hesitation to his knees and obediently begin licking his spend from his thighs, Essek feels absolutely ravenous. He is going to take every bit of this man into himself and keep it. He is going to hold his seed deep within his body and grow it. He is going to join with him, belong to him, own him. He loves him, man and wolf alike, so fully that it feels impossible to be complete without him.

His utterly ruined smalls slide off his legs and Percival delves eagerly into his cunt. Essek throws his head back and moans. His hips roll, unrestrained, grinding against his face. Slim dark fingers take hold of his short pale hair in a mercilessly tight grip.

"I know you've been thinking about this, my greedy boy." His voice is breathless and triumphant, and his violet eyes absorb and refract the dim light within the carriage, making them flash faintly. "I know you've wanted it. This is your reward for being so good." He wonders if this is the wolf's influence, or if Percival had this compulsion before he was ever changed.

He is burning with arousal; his cunt is hot and aching with it, leaking over his beautiful, needy human's lips and chin, onto his eager tongue, squeezing and trembling when it pushes deep inside to taste him. Essek can't keep his hips against the seat. When he licks all the way up to his cock, Essek gasps sharply and pulls at his hair, directing him from the base up to the leaking tip. "Open your mouth," he commands. Light, he wants to fuck up into it, to hold him where he is and take all he can.

For the first time all night, Percival relaxes as Essek's fingers tangle tight in his hair. His eyes close and he moans as Essek grinds up against him, keeping Percy exactly where he wants him. He loves the sound of Essek's voice like this, how breathless and eager he sounds, how confident, how firm. He is everything Percy didn't know he wanted. Percival never expected to love someone like this, to find someone who would love him as he is.

His beautiful, perfect mate. Percy wants to breed him. He can feel Essek's cunt get tight around his tongue and he wants nothing more than to bury his cock there.

Percy breathes in sharply when Essek yanks on his hair, guiding him higher until he catches on to what his husband is after. His lips part and heat throbs through him the moment he feels Essek's cock slide over his tongue. And since his mouth is now otherwise occupied, his hand slides up his husband's thigh so that he can push two fingers into his cunt to keep it full.

All of the need and frustration Essek had built up and pushed down during the remainder of the party comes to bear now, and his perfect mate does everything he can to satisfy him. Grasping his hair and holding him exactly where he wants him with a hand on the back of his neck, Essek fucks his mouth, gasping softly and shamelessly seeking pleasure as he rubs his cock across his tongue. His cunt grips Percy's fingers all the while, walls fluttering as though to pull them deeper.

"So good for me, Percival," he whispers, just one part of a string of quiet, eager praise in Common and Undercommon alike. "And mine--all mine."

That molten heat ripples through him, spreading, consuming. He is tight, hot, desperate. The carriage rolls on, the sound of the wheels on Westruun's streets a background to Essek's noises of bliss. He comes apart only when it feels like he can't get any tighter, and the release has his hips snapping up and his back arching as his cock jerks between his husband's lips, spending into his warm mouth.
