When Percival releases his shoulder, Essek is shaken from the daze he's fallen into. His chin tilts and he buries his nose in his husband's short hair, lifting a hand to cradle the back of his head. His thighs are wrapped tight around his hips and his body still shivers with residual pleasure, ensuring his cunt milks the cock inside him for as long as those lingering pulses last. He isn't going anywhere.

While his breath gradually evens out, he doesn't want to speak. This feels so right, so blissful, that words are unnecessary. He can say everything he needs with his body; a kiss against the top of Percival's head, a squeeze of his thighs as though trying to pull him even closer, his arm winding around his back and stroking gentle fingers along his spine.

Perhaps it is mostly instinct that makes him feel this way, but he loves the time that they spend tied. There is nothing so intimate as quietly holding his mate inside his body, hoping that his knot keeps his seed from spilling out long enough for it to take. Tonight especially, with both of them so unexpectedly in sync, at the beginning of what will be days of intense, shared need, these moments feel precious.

Essek blinks slowly, as though stirring from a trance, as Percival pushes himself up. He smiles when he sees his face, so dear and handsome. Though he feels the throb of a deepening bruise in his shoulder, he gives a gentle shake of his head. "There is no harm done." He feels in some deep, intrinsic way proud of that bruise, in fact.

Dark, slender fingers come up to frame Percy's face. Essek's thumbs graze lightly along his cheekbones. His violet eyes brim with fondness, and he murmurs a wondering phrase in Undercommon, then roughly translates. "How did I ever arrive here?"

When he considers how far this is from anything he'd ever imagined his life would be, it seems absurd. Shadowhand to the Bright Queen, untouchable scion of Den Thelyss, dunamantic prodigy; how quickly the facets of his identity unravel after defining him for decades, if not more than a century. Though not consecuted, he has been granted a new life in a way that is meaningful to him.

Essek de Rolo of Whitestone is a man with a purpose in life beyond his own selfish desires, who uses his arcane knowledge for the betterment of the world around him and the people in his care. He lives not in the city of eternal night, but the city of the Dawnfather, and turns his face to the light each day without the expectation of empty reverence. He has a husband (apparently cursed, but wonderful) whom he loves dearly, and remarkably, loves him as well. This same man is an alpha he is eager to share all of himself with, heat included. A sharp contrast to his reputation for frigidity in the Dynasty, and his particular rejection of any alpha bold enough to try courting him. That Essek Thelyss would even consider parenthood is an utterly laughable notion, but Essek de Rolo has decided on it quite firmly.

In so many ways, the man lovingly cradling his mate's face, filled with his knot and still eager to be claimed, is unrecognizable. Considering who he was and what atrocities his arrogance has wrought, this can only be a good thing.

As Percival leans down, Essek's hands slide to the back of his neck, holding him close as they kiss. He presses his lips against his husband's with fierce tenderness, filled with the sort of devastating, soul-deep love he'd once scoffed at. Perhaps because he truly did not think himself capable of it.

His heart aches for the hopelessness Percival expresses, his resignation to a half-life where he could not conceive of pursuing the things he wanted for himself, questioning his own worthiness. Essek looks at him and sees him, and is all the more determined to love him. He summons all the sincerity he is capable of and steels himself against the uncomfortable vulnerability of honesty.

"I...still often feel undeserving of this. Of you, and the comfortable existence I have found in Whitestone," he admits, his soft voice even quieter still between them. "Yet, if my presence is what has helped you to breathe again...how can I question it? You have asked for nothing, yet provided me with a home and a future when I believed I had lost both."

There is a fevered desperation in his eyes, a need for his husband to hear the words he is saying and believe them.

"You are a remarkable man, Percival, in every way that matters to me. Anything I can give, I give freely, because I believe you deserving."

Against his husband's mouth, Essek smirks, amused and pleased, wide enough to show his fangs. His arms drape over Percy's shoulders and his knees squeeze his sides where his legs still bracket his hips, keeping him close even after the release of his knot.

"We certainly will," he agrees, nipping flirtatiously at his alpha's lower lip. The de Rolo line will be quite different from here forward. Essek would venture that there has never been a noble house in Tal'Dorei carrying drow blood. "Theirs will be a proud heritage indeed." Both of them are already referring to multiples, Essek notes without concern, before they've even made one. Perhaps too ambitious, but the idea appeals to him, especially now.

"We should rest, if you are amenable," he adds gently. "If we can manage four hours, I can get us home."

Hopefully before things escalate even further for them.

Essek is far from unaffected himself. Practically as soon as Percy's cock slips free, he wants it back again, hard or not. The strong arms around him pulling him close to his mate's body eases the ache of separation just enough that Essek is confident he'll be able to trance for at least as long as he needs to. It is likely the last time trancing will be an option for him this week, when heat exhausts him enough that he can't help slipping into the stupor of true sleep.

"Merely by existing?" he teases, though he knows exactly what Percival is referring to. The scent of his rut is what had pushed his own body into a similar state to accommodate him, and even after several rounds of very satisfying sex, it remains deeply appealing. It isn't only the seed left behind that is keeping his cunt wet. "You think highly of me, husband."

Somehow, nosing into the crook of the other man's neck, where the scent is strongest, helps to relax him. Smiling lazily, he kisses the skin there and intertwines their legs, feeling no need to pull up the blankets to cover them. His skin is hot already, and anything more would have him sweating through his trance.

"You have," Essek concedes with an enigmatic little smile. "I simply never tire of hearing it."

Somehow he is able to clear his mind sufficiently to slip into the meditative state of trance. The subject of his meditation is likely what makes it possible. Memories of his husband from their very first meeting to earlier tonight cycle through his mind, not linear, but each connected in some way to the one previous. The last before his body demands consciousness is from his previous heat several months ago, trudging cold and lost and foolishly determined through the timberlands and encountering a great white wolf there.

He is recalling the sensation of burying his face into the thick, soft fur at his neck when he wakes with his face pressed against the warm skin of Percival's neck. The scent is almost exactly the same. He breathes in deep and feels the effect it has on his body; a heavy throb between his legs, a prickling over his skin, a spreading warmth. Though he is already quite hot, and he can feel just from a cursory shift of his legs that his thighs are soaked and his cock more than a little swollen.

He can also feel that he isn't the only one. With a quiet, breathy hum, he slips the hand that was draped over Percy's hip down between them to encircle his cock. Essek hasn't so much as opened his eyes yet, but he knows just how to stroke to ensure he doesn't remain half-hard for long.

"What do you think, my love?" He asks in a sleepy, silky whisper. "Shall I take care of this for you now? Or would you prefer I get us home first?"

Despite his answer, Percival grows distracted quickly. Essek knows he is in part to blame, but he can't regret it when he too is so easily pulled in by his husband's magnetism. He shudders, arching his back as a hand pushes demandingly between his thighs. Muffling a gasp against Percy's throat as muscles deep within him flex, he doesn't turn that hand away. Two rough fingers manage to dip just inside his cunt past his clenched legs, and he could so easily melt into the bed and tacitly permit more of that touch. He is too empty, especially when his alpha is hot and hard in the loose curl of his palm.

"I can get us there," he pants, though he is already losing the thread of that thought. "I--" First they have to gather their things, and then they should probably make at least an attempt at dressing, in case his teleportation happens to be off target--

Light, that is too much. He snarls, frustrated by his own desperation, lips curling back from sharp fangs. He doesn't know if he could stand, much less pack or dress, when the need to be full is so consuming.

Quickly, then.

Both resigned and eager, he releases Percival's cock and rolls slowly onto his belly. Every inch of his skin feels hot and sensitive, including his face as he buries it between his pillow and his husband's shoulder. His legs are still pressed tight together, lifting his hips just barely from the sheets.

Essek's back sinks into a deeper arch, lifting his hips another inch as his husband's cock slots into him smoothly, opening him up with almost languid ease. His lips part in a gasp that makes no sound, and he blinks over his shoulder, slow and heavy-lidded, his face darkly saturated with a deep flush.

His cunt throbs, rewarding Percival's assertive approach with the coaxing squeeze of slick-hot walls. Essek's lashes flutter, his toes curl against the sheets, and he manages a soft, breathy noise. After the ache of emptiness, this sharp excess of sensation is almost too much, too good. His thighs twitch and press together again reflexively, which only serves to tighten his passage around his alpha's cock. For a moment, he feels sure he'll come from this alone, just from being filled so completely. But somehow this isn't the peak of his pleasure; only the beginning.

With a wanton desperation that would mortify him if witnessed by anyone but his mate, he rolls his hips up with what little leverage he has, grinding the round curve of his ass back against the man over him. The friction this causes within him has him stifling an open-mouthed moan into his pillow.

Any thought of returning home is temporarily suspended, his logic routed by the scent of his alpha in rut, his own insistent heat, and the kind of raw physical pleasure he has only recently discovered.

Light, he does need this. He's near delirious with it. He feels so tight like this, the drag of Percival's cock along his walls much more intense. Essek moves his hips as much as he can to follow his alpha's firm, deliberate rutting back and forth, the same motion that pushes his own stiff cock into the warm, calloused hand circling it. He doesn't even shy away from the sting of a bite against his shoulder, so badly does he want to be marked.

His ear gives a tiny quiver, the sensation of teeth and warm breath against sensitive skin traveling all the way down his spine. In more than a century, no other man has ever made him feel like this. He moans and moans as his husband fucks him without pretense, and tries to muffle himself out of some lingering sense of modesty. He remembers where they are, knows that they might be overheard. But Light, with his alpha whispering encouragement like that, it is easy to forget his resolve to be quiet.

"Yes," he pants, hazy and wild. He feels secure beneath the warm weight of his husband's larger human body, and every deep thrust into the silken squeeze of his dripping cunt sends a surge of pleasure through him so potent he can already feel the edge of orgasm nearing. "Breed me, Percival--I am ready, please--" He has spent months now actively seeking to become pregnant by this man. He is not content to wait months more.

His first orgasm sweeps through him in a hard shiver, muscles tightening and trembling. The high of it is heady and lasting, so much that a second may quickly follow. His cock would seem to agree; it pulses gently against Percy's fingers, but doesn't spill much, and doesn't yet soften.

Essek pants, trying to take in enough air to stop his head from spinning as he throbs around the cock twitching inside him. The thick knot is swollen just inside his entrance, pressed right up against the sweet spot in his cunt that makes his legs shake. Every time he bears down, milking his alpha of every drop he can spare, it feels so good his thighs quiver. With overwhelming pleasure still thrumming through his body, he's pushed with no extra effort into a second orgasm before Percival's is over, tightening all over again with a stifled keen.

Light, what a way to begin his day. He's sagged nearly boneless against the bed, trying to will his highly sensitized skin to interpret his husband's warm breath on his neck and the gentle strokes of his hand over his arched back as soothing rather than inflaming.

For the moment, there is little to do but lay there and feel--which is lucky, because that is about all he is capable of. A little slurred Undercommon is muffled into his pillow before he turns his head again and blinks heavily over his shoulder.

"Good morning," he says in soft, heavily-accented Common.

Essek enjoys his husband's gentle attention as they wait, and he makes himself concentrate on listing everything they have with them in his mind, ensuring that he can pack it all quickly. He still whimpers when Percy carefully pulls out, instantly aching for the fullness of his length inside him to return. Instead of collapsing back into the bed, Essek forces himself to sit up. Percival seems to be in a similarly dazed but determined state. Essek swallows.

"We must gather our things and go now, if we wish to leave at all," he says. It goes against every one of his instincts to slip from the bed where his alpha waits for him, but he reminds himself that it is for the purpose of returning home, where they will be safe and comfortable and undisturbed.

Luckily, magic makes packing significantly easier. A few smaller items fit in his wristpocket, and the rest in the chest he summons with a flick of his fingers. He doesn't distinguish between his own things and Percival's; everything is coming with them, and he doesn't have the patience to organize. He leaves a shirt and trousers on the bed for his husband, and hurries to slip into the simplest robes he has on hand, more traditionally Kryn than anything he's worn in months.

"Come and get dressed, darling," he instructs, remarkably soft for how impatient he is feeling. "The sooner you do, the sooner we may go home."

Percy really should know better, but so should Essek; he still kisses back, and drapes his arms over his husband's shoulders to keep him from moving away. A twirl of his fingers returns his secret chest to its pocket dimension, and he hums an affirmation.

"I don't think we have business anywhere else," says Essek mildly, with a faint smirk. But just as he's about to cast, Percival stops him. It takes heat-slowed mind a moment to redirect, but it is good idea to get this part out of the way before they arrive and become immediately too caught up in each other.

Growing increasingly antsy, he Sends to the chamberlain, a woman who is entrusted with many of their household's day-to-day affairs, to warn and instruct her as well as he can with a twenty-five word limit. Thankfully, her response indicates that she understood perfectly well what Essek was driving at with his somewhat delicate phrasing.

Sending is always accompanied by a subtle arcane vibration in the back of his mind. As soon as it fades, Essek looks to his husband again. "Well, with that taken care of..."

There are no somatic components for Teleportation, and they are returning somewhere he is intimately familiar with. The chances for a mishap are exceedingly low. So Essek indulges himself; he leans in close, nestles his face against his lover's shoulder, and breathes in deep. As he speaks the short phrase of Teleportation aloud, his mind clouds over with a distracting surge of heat, and--

--they arrive. There is stone beneath their feet, as there should be. There is no pain, so they sustained no damage. But when Essek unburies his face from Percival's lapel, it isn't their bedroom that greets him. They are standing in the castle's grand library, a good ten minutes on foot from their rooms. Essek hisses several words fast and sharp, a colorful (and blasphemous) curse in Undercommon, and then drops his face back down against Percy's shoulder with a muffled, frustrated groan.

At least he'd had the foresight to ensure they were dressed.

Well, at least Percival is amused. Essek lifts his head, guided by the fingers beneath his chin, and his glower is promptly dispelled with a kiss. Impossible, really, not to lose himself in it a little, lips parting for the all too brief press of his husband's tongue. It's good that Percy pulls back when he does; they could very easily get much too carried away for the public space they've found themselves in.

Essek hates that he gives serious consideration to teleporting again for even a moment. He isn't that far gone, is he? It would be utterly ridiculous to waste such high level magic to take them to another location within the castle.

"We'll walk," he decides, and promptly rises several inches off the ground into a float. One of them will walk, anyway. "But should anyone attempt to waylay us, I can't promise I'll be nice."

Pushing against Percy's chest with both hands, he drifts out of his hold, though he remains within easy reach. In fact, he waits expectantly to be offered an arm.
