How could the darkness hurt? Taliesin could remember pain before the darkness.. The feeling of hands on her body, the pain as her body was violated, too weak to fight back. Raped, beaten... used again and again. For how long? She couldn't remember and when she woke, she wouldn't remember a thing. Only in this pain filled darkness could she remember what they had done to her. Her body being torn apart by liquid fire. Shadow claws toying with the tattered shields of her mind, worming through her thoughts, memories. Searching.. scouring for information. It had hurt, the woman had told her it didn't have to hurt, but where was the fun in that? She'd slowly picked her mind apart, like ripping the petals off a flower, the wings off a butterfly, shredding her past and remaking her as she wished.
Then the nothingness had taken her. Her mind and body fracturing into pieces. Even here in the dark, sensation had flashed through. Pain.. breathless drowning.. While those sensations had come and gone, she'd slowly begun to gather the shattered fragments of herself. Some parts were missing, as she put together the decimated picture of herself. Time here in the darkness seemed to have no meaning. Days, seconds? She didn't know one from the other. Each small razor sharp part of who she was slowly placed into the frame of her mind. Too many pieces were missing. The picture was fractured as the mind trying to place the razor sharp pieces together, each cut only adding to the loss. A tangled web.
That darkness was confusing. It was her reality, but was it? Her mind screamed at her that this wasn't where she was meant to be, but the small almost childlike part of her that bled to put the picture together seemed content to remain in this darkness. The darkness was safe. Here there was no pain. A floating feeling, warmth.. But no more pain. It was safe. No one could hurt them here. No more pain, no more hurt, no more fear. Safe. If I leave here.. there will be pain.. and I still don't have all the pieces.. not whole.. The voice was small, a quiet whisper that slithered through the endless dark, bouncing back towards her.Not whole...
Thewoman on the beach had once, perhaps been lovely. Laying in the sand, cuts and bruises covered her face, and any exposed part of her skin. It was safe to assume that the unexposed flesh had not been spared. She'd been beaten, tortured, perhaps more and left for dead. After a few long moments, her chest would rise, just barely as her body took a breath. Her skin was pale, marred in black and purple.. Blood crusted into cuts, the sea water not enough to wash all of it from her. Her hair was silver and grey, seaweed and sand tangled into it. Underneath blue tinged lashes, her eyes flickered. How long had she been there? It would be hard to tell. The sea water having dried out her lips, even relaxed it looked like she had a secret to share, the cut in her lip nor the rough appearance enough to hide it. Minutes would pass before another shallow breath was taken.
A small crab crawled from between her breasts, underneath the torn top, the knit of it rough. The skittering of it's legs against her battered flesh earned no sound from her. Whatever had happened, she'd been through the mill more than once. Waves lapped at her body as the tide came in, her hands lifted in the surf slightly with each pull and push of the water. Was it not for that slow, labored breathing it might be easy to mistake her for dead. Above her the sun beat down on her skin, slowly burning her. Patches of pale skin slowly turning pink and then red under its relentless gaze.

It was the Angler that sensed her first. It was his very purpose, even in this new fae form, to find things on the edge of the darkness, to lure those on the brink into the deep, from darkness and unto death. A year prior, he would have taken this soul quietly, without notice. Now, he was no longer the Angler. Instead, Cirrus served a different darkness, the Night Court. Without fanfare or malice, he lifted the fragile and broken creature from the sands. Without intervention, death would claim her soon enough and there were things to be done before that. The quiet of the morning beach was broken, magic opening space and time as Cirrus winnowed to the House of Wind.
It was here, in the depths of the royal home of Velaris, that High Lord Nyx first saw her. A silent nod from Cirrus, more conversation than most could stir from the death-god-turned-fae, was his only introduction to the situation. However, there was nothing to prepare him for the sight before him. On the other side of the enchanted bars, resting on an ornate bed, laid the most gorgeous fae he had ever seen.
For a moment, it felt like the air had been pressed from his lungs. His hand moved to push the unkempt black hair from his face, as if to clear his vision. Not that it had any effect, despite being long enough to touch the back of his neck, he kept it from his eyes. Those deep blue eyes were fixed on this creature. Yes, he saw the cuts and bruises, the sand crusted in her hair. She was a mess. But, she was a lovely mess. Standing transfixed, it was a few long moments before he realized just how foolish he must have looked.
Grateful to be alone, Nyx remembered his purpose. Immediately, the cell thrummed with boundless power as he called the magic within him. The shadows in the corners flared to life and a new darkness entered the room. It was a warm darkness, the dark you found on a summer night. It reached past the barrier of the cell, the one way enchantment giving him no issue. The bruises on the young woman faded a touch, the cuts closed. The magic sought the deepest damage, the most important things. His healing abilities were far from perfect, but they suited his needs. A prisoner need not be fully recovered to provide information.
While his magic worked, Nyx moved a bit closer to the cell bars. They had no door, only able to be opened by magic, so he stood nearly pressed to the metal. His height, and delicately folded Illyrian wings, made Nyx fill the space, nearly looming over the woman even from the distance between them. There was something about her that made him push his magic a bit harder. He wanted to fix her. So, his power vibrated the walls as he followed his instinct. Still not perfect, he could only fill her with magic, hoping to fix whatever kept her from waking, to satisfy the itch to help. Thus, he stood before the prisoner, face grim with focus, for a moment forgetting how dangerous she could prove to be.

Lifted into unknown arms didn't move. No flicker of pain crossed her battered features, one might have questioned if she was alive had it not been for that labored breathing. Taliesin had no idea how lucky she was that Cirrus' no longer just a god of death, his allegiance lying elsewhere. Had he not served the High Lord of the Night Court how easily he might have snuffed out the sputtering flame of her soul. It might have been a kindness to have killed her where she lay on the beach, but it seemed the cauldron had other plans for her. There was no way for him to know just how broken the woman in his arms was, though as he winnowed her into the House of Wind, he took precautions. She was after all a stranger who had washed up on the shores of Velaris.
Laid on a soft bed, the softness of the mattress cradling her broken body, her head resting on plush pillows. To look at theroom Cirrus left her in, one wouldn't think cell right away. The room opened to the air, wispy curtains swaying on a gentle breeze. The bed upon which she had been laid sat again one of the two solid walls of the room. At the other end sat a hearth, with a fire crackling gently. Across from the graceful arches that looked out along the mountains were delicate bars, though no one would be foolish enough to assume that the bars as ornate as they appeared were flimsy. Curtains lay along the barred wall, on the outside of them, drawn back at the moment to allow an unobstructed view of the room and the woman laying prone upon the rich bedding.
Darkness swallowed the room, power reverberating through the warmth of night. Slowly the cuts and bruises faded from her pale skin, as did the burns from the afternoon sun. Deeper, Nyx's power worked, mending things that he couldn't see, but felt as his power poured through her. Ribs healed, bones mended and the damage from being raped repeatedly melting away. With all of his power, her body was healed almost in its entirety. Only two things remained from the hell she'd survived. The first were the scars along her back, though the skin was more or less smooth, it would be clear upon inspection that the lady had once born wings, the positioning similar to where his own wings grew. The second thing that his power could not touch was the fractured remnants of her mind. If he tried to brush her mind with shadow claws he'd find a wall of adamant so thick and dark around her mind and not a single crack for him to exploit. This wall was not of her making, but there was no way to tell.
Her breathing evened out and a soft sound left Taliesin. A whimper. Healed, she wasn't whole and her mind knew it. The damage and pain was gone, but the childlike part of her still trying to put the pieces of her mind back together seemed to know that it couldn't linger in the darkness any longer. Beneath her lashes her eyes moved, flicking back and forth within whatever dream or nightmare held her, that latter more likely as she whimpered again, the sound pained. Slowly, so slowly she made her ascent. The lingering remnants of her nightmare drew her from her slumber with a cry, her body shooting up in the bed.
Confusion played on her face as her eyes searched the room. Where was she? Taliesin tried to remember where she was, her mind drawing a blank. Where had she been? Blank. Turning her head she found Nyx filling the bars, looking at her. Blue eyes, so bright, so clear like endless pools of glacial water stared at him, widening a fraction. The bars had been taken in, as had the open arches. Without even testing it, Taliesin knew she wouldn't be able leave though those arches. Besides, she couldn't fly. The memories of such a thing had been wiped from her mind, she couldn't remember the pleasure of wind ruffling through her feathers and the joy as she soared in the skies. They had taken much from her.
"Wh.. where am I?"Her voice was husky, warm and honeyed as it burned between them."Who are you?"There was a rising panic in her voice. Bars. Trapped. She couldn't place why the sight sent her into a down spiral, but she could feel the panic rise in waves.
gpt
At first, Nyx felt a wave of relief as the mysterious fae bolted upright. Whatever he had healed, whatever he had managed to brute force back together with his magic, had been enough to let her regain consciousness. That alone was enough to make his features soften, the grim concentration now unnecessary. However, it seemed he was fated to run a full gauntlet of feelings.
The first was when her eyes, wide with an understandable confusion, met his own. The pureness of that blue, the depth of them, pierced down into the deepest parts of him. They grabbed the core of his being and pulled him in. Nyx was unsure if he had ever seen such a striking pair of eyes, framed in such an impossibly beautiful face. Without the bruises, with those eyes open, he felt as though this must be the perfect face.
Next, the female shifted her expression, and with it, tore into his soul. Since his birth, Prythian had never been able to be considered a perfect place. Skirmishes with Hybern were a constant, if infrequent, threat over the last hundred years. Dark things crawled out of the worst places and tried to take from his people. Some had been creatures, a few human, and the most monstrous had been fae. Worst of all, with his parents appointing themselves the protectors of Prythian, it had mostly happened here, in the Night Court. Because of this, Nyx knew the face of panic the female wore. Whatever had happened was no accident. It had been done slowly, and with intent.
It was because of this that Nyx waved his hand through the air, the bars of the ornate room evaporating. He stepped over the threshold and was about to approach this new fae, to try to do something. However, a moment before he could do so, his reason caught up with him. He stopped after that first step, managing to maintain the fragile calm he possessed. Instead, Nyx answered her questions.
"You are in the Night Court." he said, voice calm and disarmingly smooth. "Velaris, to be specific. A cell in the House of Wind to be even more specific. As for me, I happen to be the High Lord of the Night Court. At least, that is what they tell me."
Now fully in the light of room, Nyx was a strange mix. He had little love for excess, dressed only in a plain black shirt, soft and comfortable, but hardly fitting of a lord, let alone a High one. His trousers were a matching fabric, hastily tucked into his soft leather boots in his rush to investigate his prisoner. His hair, which he had been sure to at least brush flat, hung shaggy, covering his ears and the back of his neck, the only style in how it was pushed to the side to show his face. Being his father's son, though, meant all this framed a strikingly handsome face and a casual grace that belied little of his power or station.
"Now, can you tell me who you are and why you were on the beaches, half dead? The House will give you water if you ask, if it is hard to speak."

Eyes like sapphire met her own wide eyes Taliesin stumbled over her questions. So deep, like the velvet night sky before the stars came out to play. Beautiful. Her lips parted slightly as even that beauty couldn't stave off the panic she felt. The bars vanished and despite the kindness she thought she glimpsed in his eyes, the understanding, she backpedaled on the bed. Putting distance between them. He didn't come closer and a fraction of the tension slipped from her shoulders. Much like the velvet of his eyes, she could hear it in his voice, smooth almost silky as he answered her questions.
Court of Night... Velaris? She knew the name, most did, at least now. Frowning slightly she counted her breaths, one after another as he answered further. A cell? His answer as to who he was drew a shadow of a smile to her face. "Are you unsure?" She quipped before she could stop herself, cheeks burning with the boldness of the words. He was a High Lord. While things were missing, pieces fragmented, she knew that one didn't talk to a High Lord like that. How? How did she know that? She seemed to understand things, but the why or how even seemed to be missing.
His question drew her attention from her thoughts and she gave a small shake of her head."Not entirely, no."Her voice was hesitant."I know my name is Taliesin." Shifting on the bed she looked to her hands, turning them palm up on her thighs. Half dead?"I haven't the faintest honestly. I don't think I have ever seen the ocean." Though, she didn't just seem to give him the answer and leave him with it, she was trying to remember. After a long moment she shook her head. Through the warm smell of the salty sand and the briny scent of the ocean, there was a whiff of something more; sweet strawberry and orange blossom distorted by a peppery, spice.
"May I have water?" As he'd told her a glass of water appeared on the small table beside the bed. Picking up the goblet she took a slow sip, eyes closing as she washed the taste of salt from her mouth and the grains of sand that had been trapped. Swallowing she grimaced and took another sip and then another before settling it down. Her eyes rose to meet his and she watched him, silently for a moment."Cell."The word repeated, an echo of his words from before."Am I a prisoner then?" A stupid question, to be sure.
Her eyes shifted from him to the curtains that swayed on a gentle breeze. Open air, wind. For a moment she could almost feel it on her face and when her eyes turned back to him she could feel her eyes pickle with tears. Dashing them away roughly she frowned. Why was she crying? She couldn't remember all that had been stolen from her. All that they had taken. Picking up the water she downed the contents, the empty glass vanishing from her fingers.

Just as Taliesin seemed to spend a moment or two studying his eyes, Nyx used that moment to really study her. Not just her eyes, but her whole face. It was beautiful. But, of course it was. He already paused to examine it before she was healed, and after. All he could do was internally chastise himself for being so distracted. There was something happening here that he was suspicious of. Something under the surface of his mind that made this creature an inescapable vortex for his attention.
Then, she did the unthinkable. She joked with him. A complete stranger picked up on the subtle jabs of humor that had infected him since childhood. The need to make everything play. It caused a little smile to peek out and show on his lips. A smile that felt so natural and right in this situation, despite how little they knew of each other.
The smile did not last, however. Her other replies were more vexing. A name and nothing more. No idea how she had ended up on the shores of his city, nor any recollection of the journey before. It was suspicious without doubt. Only the body language, the weight of the words as she spoke, kept Nyx from declaring her a spy outright. Taliesin was either a fantastic actor or telling the truth. Not that this gave him any assurance. All it meant was that, if she was a spy, she was a talented one.
With a subtle push, Nyx reached out with his power, attempting to brush the edges of her mind. Most would have some resistance, as push back against his attempt. Instead, he met a dead stop. Pushing a little harder, what Nyx found was perhaps the most suspicious thing. A solid defense, impenetrable even with his practiced talents. Yet, somewhere in that wall, there was a tiny crack. It was almost impossible to find, but it called to him. A spot that made him feel warm inside when he pressed his mind against it. It allowed no access, but gave a little comfort, a little trust, all of which he could not explain.
Soon, though, the cordial exchange of information shifted back to him. Watching her gulp down the water, he began to understand exactly how critical her wounds had been, why she had taken so much of his power to mend, and even why she had flinched away when Nyx had moved closer.
"The House can give you what you need. Food, water. Even wine and spirits if you like. As for all of this, you are unfortunately a prisoner." he spoke with more warmth than one would expect when calling someone a prisoner.
"You don't have to stay as one. But, there is some nasty business going on right now. Nothing close to a full war, but enough that you are quite a suspicious new arrival. I would prefer if we could figure this out quickly, so I will be..."
What was he saying? He was busy. Cirrus was much more effective without Nyx having access to their mind. She was a suspected spy and he was volunteering his time without question. Who was Taliesin? Then, like a bright rising sun, it hit. The warmth if this unseen bond, her ability to distract him just by existing, the fact that; even now; he could not stop drinking in her beauty. This mystery fae was his mate.
"Well, fuck."
human
She was lovely, to be sure, though had she known Nyx's thoughts, even before falling into the hands of Hybern, she would have laughed at him. In her eyes, there were others far lovelier than she. It wasn't thinking less of herself, no, but in a world of beautiful people, there were others she thought to shine brighter. Even through the grip on her mind, Taliesin found herself drawn to Nyx. The master of her mind wouldn't know what was hidden from her for a while yet, the distance between them would shield her for a while yet. It would also delay any orders given to her... not that she would ever know the shadowy hands that pulled her strings.
The push of his own shadowy claws along her mind were not felt, for it wasn't her walls that he pressed against. The pocket he found though, was her. A crack in the armor of her mind that allowed her to peek out. Unaware of his intrusion she gulped water hungrily. She hadn't realized how thirsty she was until she had finished the glass. Looking at him, her eyes sheltered. Drawn to him, she didn't quite understand why. Powerful and handsome, she brushed it off as the intoxicating combination of the two.
"Thank you," she offered softly for the knowledge, as a prisoner, it seemed unusual, but she wasn't going to question it. She didn't quite understandwhy she was a prisoner. Her cheek flushed softly and she nodded. Her mind still felt fuzzy, but she seemed to recall the nasty business he spoke of. Just like she had a foggy relocation of him, who his parents were. It felt like having to walk through fog though, to access such a simple thought.
"I understand,"It was a lie, but it wasn't because she wished to withhold the information from him. It was self-defense, her mind feeling like swiss cheese and it was unsettling. Not knowing how she'd come to be on a beach, what had happened. With her wounds healed, she didn't even know that she'd been tortured.. raped. All she knew was she'd not been in great condition. Blinking, she nodded. He seemed eager to dismiss her as a threat, while odd, she didn't see a reason to question it. As plush as her life as a prisoner may be, she didn't like living in a cage.
Lifting her brows, that smile played along her lips."Is that an offer, High Lord?" Her voice playful, an almost purring tone to it. That bond was missing on her end, though how long could shadowy claws an ocean away hold back that bond? That feeling. A mating bond wasn't insignificant and the power behind it, it was wild magic. Something that wasn't ever quite the same. He might know the history of his own parent's bond, how it had allowed Feyre to survive death. She doubted it had been an offer though and her mind drifted to another matter altogether.
Her eyes moved around the room and she frowned, a delicate downturn of her lips."Could I have a bath?"Taliesin could see the door and while healed, she felt the ick of the seafoam, salt and sand clinging to her hair, body."And perhaps a change of clothing?"
gpt
It took Nyx a long second to realize exactly what Taliesin meant by offer. After all, it had been a slip of the tongue, an accidental outburst. Then, realization dawned on him. First, a creeping heat ran up his face, mostly embarrassed at how much he had let show. Then, he thought for a moment exactly how fantastic it would be if they were to simply ravage each other right here, in the luxurious cell. But, composure won out eventually and he smiled a wry smile back.
"You have to show me you aren't a spy before I make that offer. Can't have you stabbing me once I take my clothes off."
The next question was the most reasonable yet, given the circumstances. His mind, however, already drifted to the idea of Taliesin in the bath, nude. Only a moment after his realization and he was fantasizing. Damn this mating bond. While the stories of the powerful connection were quite moving, Nyx had also grown up seeing how his parents drooled over each other no matter how many years had passed. Centuries of seeing the two make cow eyes at each other was enough to make him wary. He really needed a moment to think.
"Uh, yes. I will leave you to that. I will have something brought for you to wear. I'm sure there is something left that doesn't have wing holes. And, Taliesin... I truly hope you are not here to hurt my court. Very badly, I wish for it... Enjoy your bath."
With a hasty turn, he walked over the threshold of the bars and they materialized behind him. Barely down the hallway, he paused and let out a gusty sigh, trying to release the weight suddenly pressing on him. His mate. She was his mate.
human
The smile that had been flirting along the edges of her mouth slowly spread as it took Nyx a moment to get the joke. She watched his cheeks heat and she couldn't help but find that color cute. Could High Lords be considered cute? They were meant to be fearsome, powerful. Yet the way he'd blushed had been indeed cute. His smile made her own grow and she lifted a brow playfully.
"Ah, but there is a chance?"
What was wrong with her? How come she couldn't keep her mouth shut? Taliesin seemed to recall she had always been flirty, playful.. at least.. she thought so. With Nyx though, she seemed to have problems restraining herself. She had been able to stop herself before joking further, her eyes shiny with the effort.
Her question seemed to distract him, but she waited for a moment before nodding."Thank you."Taliesin slowly rose, showing herself to be much shorter than Nyx. His words caused her to falter a step, her head cocking to one side, her silvery hair falling with the motion and she grimaced at the feeling."I don't think my sincerest promise would help."Her eyes held his for a moment."Everything is foggy though. My memories feel like a miasma."
A small nod and she watched him turn and leave the bars falling into place. His absence was felt, but it made no sense. Looking to the window she had the absurd desire to test it. Of course, even if it wasn't spelled, she couldn't fly. That hollow feeling made her frown and her eyes flickered to the bars before she slipped towards the bathroom.
As a prisoner Taliesin saw no issue with taking her time in the bath. The first had been to wash the debris and salt from her body. The second she'd allowed herself to soak while slowly working the knots from her hair. It was tedious, but almost an hour later her hair was free of knots and one more felt silken under her touch. She was rising from the tub and reaching for a towel with the door pushed in.
"Hey there,"A bright hello came from an unknown Illyrianfemale."Hello.." If Taliesin was shocked at the intrusion, she didn't show it. Roshani's back was to Taliesin, wings tucked in."Nyx asked me to bring you some clothing."turning her ash blonde curls bounced and she offered a smile to Taliesin as she wrapped the towel around herself."You came in wearing pants, so I figured you'd like something similar." A bundle ofcyan was set down on the counter."I will leave you to get dressed."
Without another word Roshani left the bathroom. The top was fitted, it's sleeves sheer, gather at the wrist with golden cuffs. It fell to just above her belly button. The pants had a thick golden band and the pants were silken around her legs. It was surprising to Taliesin that they fit her when the Illyrian had been taller than her by several inches.
From outside there was a humming, indicating that the Illyrian was waiting for her. Pushing the door open she found her lounging against the wall."There, you look a spot better."Motioning to a chair she smiled."Sit, I will do your hair." Taliesin wondered if it was really a request. Roshani smiled,"I am Roshani" Taliesin couldn't help but smile as she moved to sit."Taliesin, it's nice to meet you."Roshani was dressed similar to her, though her own clothing was a rich deep purple with silver accents, on her hands were syphons of deep mauve.
Hands deftly began to weave herhair, Roshani humming behind her. Roshani didn't feel the need to explain to Taliesin that she didn't have a lot of female friends, that this simple act brought her joy. Cirrus had told her what they suspected of Taliesin and she knew better than to underestimate the High Fae. Not that she was a pushover, far from it. The first female to be awarded syphons in a world dominated by men... She'd fought tooth and claw for them and she now led Nyx's armies. She had enough power to command respect, begrudgingly or otherwise.
"There," the pair had been sitting in silence for a while, both their minds elsewhere. Though unable to leave well enough alone,"Do you know who hurt you?"Taliesin shifted in her seat and looked at Roshani."Hurt me?"A brow lifted and Roshani nodded."Do you really not remember? Nyx healed you."The surprise was clear and Roshani shook her head."Never mind."A smile was offered."I should be going, though I have to say you look lovely in night court dress."
She left with a wave, the bars opening and closing behind her."Bye," Taliesin offered as she left. Despite the oddness of the interactions Taliesin found herself liking Roshani. Rising she found a pair of beautiful shoes that matched the outfit, though she ignored them, padding towards the open window. A breeze played across her face as she leaned against one of the pale pillars, the sheer curtain playing with the wind. She'd been hurt? Seemed she owed Nyx more of a thank you...

"You're pacing, High Lord." the death god sat at the table of the dining hall, watching Nyx walk from one end to the other.
The High Lord, however, seemed to barely hear him. Instead, he waved a hand to dismiss the comment. It was strange to think that the only one he could turn to about such a thing was, until fairly recently, a creature of impossible power from another plane. Not that Cirrus was weak. He could likely tear this house to the ground and Nyx would be hard pressed to stop him. But, cool-headed was, thankfully, an understatement of how patient the fae-god hybrid was.
"My mate." As Nyx spoke, Cirrus looked confused, shifting in his seat. "She is my mate Cirrus! The bond isn't in place completely, for some reason, but it is halfway at least. I know nothing about her! At least mother and father were friends, allies, something to each other."
Nyx could not believe what he heard next. Cirrus had the audacity to chuckle. He turned, his temper flaring just a bit. This was, to exaggerate in no way, one of the most serious things that had ever happened to him. Now, his closest male friend, the lover of his oldest friend, had the gall to laugh. Then, before he could even be outraged, Cirrus cut him off.
"Does that not solve the problem? Give the bond a nudge. Be charming. I can teach you all the things I say to Roshani, if you need..."
Now, Nyx was on the verge of yelling, part hysterical and part in jest. "I don't need relationship advice from a corpse collector! You didn't even have a heartbeat two years ago."
Nyx took the opportunity to stop his pacing and turn toward the door. Cirrus, in as boisterous of a mood as he got, chuckled again.
"If it really is there, you just have to give a little nudge." Cirrus called after his friend. "I'm sure even you can't mess up a mating bond, my High Lord."
Nyx pushed into the hall with an aggressive shove to the door, nearly toppling Roshani as she returned from Taliesin's cell. He did not even bother to greet her as he stormed down the hall, his wings spreading as he hurried toward the nearest window. It was the only thing that helped when he was in a mood, and he was grown enough to admit this was certainly him being in a mood.
A good two hours of mindlessly flying around the city later, Nyx returned to his chambers for a change of clothes. The anger and frustration had turned sullen and sour, making him feel like a child. Cirrus, as he always was, had been right. If she really was his mate, then she would not be likely to hurt him or the court. If this was something else, well he could deal with that after.
So, a bath of his own and a fresh set of clothes later, Nyx found himself at the entrance to the cell. Unlike when he had rushed, his clothing was now the black and silver tunic and pants that befit the High Lord of the Court of Dreams. His hair was combed flat and smooth, stylishly brushed to the side to reveal his eyes. He was confident, handsome, powerful, a perfect man to have for a mate. Then, he waved open the cell door and saw her.
"You look... Incredible."
While he still managed to be powerful and handsome, it was hard to be confident as his eyes greedily drank in the sight before him. So small and pale, he wanted to scoop her off her feet and pin her onto the plush bed. Her exposed naval was especially distracting and, despite how foolish it made him feel, Nyx knew he was openly staring.

Roshani had left the lovely fae in her cage, bushing past an unusually irritated Nyx. She had debated for a moment poking at it, to see what answer's he'd give but she heard the chuckle of Cirrus down the hallway. There was more than Cirrus behind the mood, but why prod the clearly irritated male, when he could coax answers out of one in a far better mood with much more entertaining methods?
Slipping through the doors, she took in Cirrus, with a small smile. Slowly she talked around the table before pushing his arms out of her way, collapsing into his lap. "Enjoying tormenting our High Lord?" She asked, her voice a purr. Only one got this voice out of Roshani. Her lips brushed the corner of his mouth."I will trade you a kiss for what has ruffled his feathers."Not that she wouldn't have kissed him for the sake of kissing Cirrus.
Curling into him, her wings tucked behind his arm she looked towards the door, to where Nyx had left, to where he was going. "Do you think she is a threat?" Her words were softer. She'd seen the fae which had washed up on their shores... Roshani found conflicting feelings in regards to Taliesin. On one hand, she had seemed truly unaware... innocent almost. Yet there was something there that made her feel a bit uneasy.
Turning from the window, Taliesin gave Nyx a soft smile."Is that so?"her back pressed to the cool pillar, the phantom breeze catching tendrils of her washed, silver tresses, they danced on that wind. Taliesin found difficulty treating him like a High Lord. She wondered if he'd like that. Her eyes traced his form and finally settled on his eyes, such a deep sapphire.
"You know, I have this feeling you're an incorrigible flirt." Taliesin found this amusing, it shone in her eyes as she pushed off the pillar, walking towards him. A hand brushed against the silver in his tunic, circling him. Peeking around his arm she flashed him a smile. "While I do clean up nice, so did you. Is there an occasion or did you get all spiffy for just me."Slipping past him she moved to look back out at the view her cell provided.
There was something about the open air, the wind that tickled across her face that made Taliesin sad. She didn't know why, like a memory just out of sight begged her to remember. "Did you come for a reason, High Lord?"her voice less playful now, her back to him. Nyx had heal every physical injury, save one.. Twin scars hidden beneath her top where wings had once lived.

The amused little smirk on Cirrus' face turned into a full smile when Roshani came into the room. Nyx may have left, but he was replaced by much preferred company. With no resistance, he allowed the Illyrian to make her way into his lap. Once she was settled, one hand moved to rest on her thigh, the gently pressing into the lovely platinum of her hair. When she mentioned his torment of Nyx, he once again adopted that mischievous little smirk.
"I was not tormenting him. I was giving perfectly reasonable advice with an edge of humor that he failed to appreciate." he gently pressed his lips to Roshani's for a moment before continuing. "We have a bit of a complication with the possible spy. It turns out, she may just be our High Lord's mate. So, he is thoroughly ruffled, as you saw. I just ruffled a little more."
Cirrus stole another kiss, this time lingering on her lips. However, her next question made his expression change sharply. It a blink, he was gravely serious. His golden eyes shone like a predator as he considered the possibility of danger.
"Honestly, Ro, she might be more dangerous than we can believe. You don't just show up on a beach with no memory. It does not happen. Which would be no issue, she can be kept prisoner or... Removed. Except if she really is his mate. Then, who knows?"
At this point, it was most certainly a problem how much Nyx enjoyed simply looking at her. His eyes, no matter where he put them, drifted back to Taliesin. At first, it felt like curiosity. Now, he was drinking in every curve and feature of her figure. Incorrigible flirt felt like an understatement. Still, her playfulness made him feel the need to defend himself.
"I promise you that I am actually rather tame most of the time. My incorrigible flirting is exclusive to you. As for the clothes, I wish I could say that was all for you as well." he sucked in a quiet breath at the feeling of her hand. "But, I am the High Lord and I do have to look the part when I'm not rushing to visit a strange woman."
The way she looked out the window struck Nyx somewhere deep inside. He was Illyrian. Of course he knew the feeling of yearning for the sky. Without quite knowing why he felt so much sympathy for that look out the window, Nyx waved his hand again. This time, the bars disappeared from the window. So far as he could tell, there was no harm in letting her be a little closer to the world.
"I want to know you a little better." his playful edge dropped to match her as he spoke. "You can't remember who you are, but you still are that person. Maybe we can figure out a piece or two if you talk to me."
And see if you really are my mate, he though to himself.
"You can ask questions as well, if you want. So, first question. Why do you look out the window so often?"

She loved the way his face could change, just by entering a room. Curled in Cirrus' lap, she wrapped her arms around his neck as his own slid to her hair and thigh as she questioned him. His smirk made her smile grow and she cocked a single brow."No?"Came the teasing reply. A snort left her even as she leaned into the kiss. There may have not been a bond between the pair, but Roshani was sure there was no one else for her. It was complicated, but in the sweetest of ways. The tips of her nails scratched along the back of his neck and into his hairline as he explained the complications.
Exhaling, Roshani bit her lower lip in thought."Well, fuck.." Her eyes moved to his and she smiled softly. "Leave it to a death god to poke easily the most powerful fae in the realms... likely the world." His face fell into somber lines and Roshani frowned."What is it, love?"She nodded as Cirrus explained and sighed, her forehead falling to rest against his temple."That will complicate things. For what it is worth, I really don't think she knows how she ended up on that beach."Roshani trusted that at least, but it didn't make her any less a spy, a threat.
"The bond is only on his end then?" It was the only explanation really. Her eyes moved back to the doorway and she felt for her High Lord... But this wasn't something she could help him with. Instead, she shifted in Cirrus' lap, straddling him, arms still around his neck. Her wings flared slightly, blocking them from view."It isn't something we can kill our way through, at least not yet.." Lowering her head she kissed him, nipping his lower lip."Until then..."
Brows lifted and she tilted her head."And why would that be High Lord?" It would be odd for him to focus on her like that. The only explanation was held in that fog. Mate. It was a word she couldn't seem to think of and the fact that his attention was on her, not all females.. The more he explained the less sense it seemed to make."I see. Strange am I?" The words were prickly, but her tone was not. She seemed bemused with a touch of laughter in her voice.
She'd walked away and she blinked as the bars vanished. Taliesin moved closer to the world that had lingered just beyond, eyes closing. Inhaling she scented the wind. Rain, the smell of thunder playing through her senses."Thank you," the words a whisper, her eyes slowly opened and she turned her head, her chin resting on her shoulder, lashes lowered."If you'd like, I am willing to try."Her voice had leaked that playfulness and she turned to look out the window again.
His question made her frown, her eyes still on the open air."Honestly?" She chuckled and turned to look at him."I don't know. Frustrating to hear, I am sure. It's no less frustrating to say."Her back pressed to the cool pillar and she shifted so she rested along its side. "I can't explain it, but I feel drawn to it. Like the call of a siren, it plays in my bloodstream."A small smile curled at the corner of her lips."I don't have wings, like Roshani. Yet..."Her voice changed and there was a deep sense of longing.. sadness.

The way that Roshani moved, throwing her legs to straddle him and spreading her wings, showed the graceful and dangerous warrior she was. It was all he could do to simply return the kiss as she reminded him exactly why he had chosen to give up everything about his old existence. Then, she nipped his lip and lightning went down his spine. Seemed like time for serious talk was passing.
"I doubt that we would be seeing them any time soon if the bond connects on both ends. Or that we would have a problem with her spying." his voice was low and his breathing quickened. "But, I still don't think there is anythingyoucan't kill your way through."
His eyes were drinking in Roshani's features now, still intoxicated by looking at her. Lean, strong, fast, and powerful. But, most importantly, all his. In their own private world behind her wings, Cirrus kissed first the bottom of her lip, then her cheek, and her jaw, before finally moving to her neck. With a deep breath, he inhaled her amazing scent. His lips lingered for a long moment before breaking away, once again meeting her eyes.
"Am I to understand that you are trying to seduce me right here? In the dining hall?"
Cirrus moved his hand down her back, trailing his fingers around the base of one wing before drifting to her rear, which he cupped to pull her body even closer in his lap.
Strange was most certainly the word that he would use to describe her. The way she spoke about the sky, the outside world, the way the open air called to her, was all so strangely similar to himself. To all Illyrians. There was no denying that he understood her feelings well.
"Join me then." His tone became playful as he moved to the open window. "I promise I won't let you fall."
Thanks to his height, Nyx had no trouble sitting on the edge of the window. Then, without hesitation, he threw his legs over and spun so that they dangled in open air. Just as he would never deny an Illyrian access to the sky, at least one only suspected of crimes, he could not deny it to someone who understood that same longing to fly.
"I understand. More than you could ever know, I understand. I used to sneak out to fly at night. My father did the same. I still occasionally fly around the city when I feel tense."
With a long sigh, Nyx looked out at the sky, the city below, down the myriad steps of the House of Wind. Peace was not meant to be so stressful as this.
"I believe you, you know. I believe you can't remember. But, do you understand why I can't just let you roam free? It does not make me happy to keep you in a cage just because I need to be suspicious to keep my court safe."
human
Time for serious talk was indeed passing and Roshani gave a feline smile as Cirrus spoke."Perhaps not, though, we have never fought."Her voice was playful. She had little doubt that had they gone up against one another who would win.. assuming Cirrus actually wanted to kill her. He was a god of death, which meant if he really wanted her dead, there was no way she'd walk away... The same question could have been posed to Nyx, who would win if they fought. Roshani was powerful, much like Mor had been Nyx's aunt. If she put her mind to it, the would would serve underneath her. Lucky for the world, she had no such aspirations.
Cirrus distracted her with his kisses and she was giggling when he asked her if she was planning to seduce him in the dining room."Why not? Nyx is busy... no one else is here."The trail of his fingers along that tender skin near her wing made her moan softly, her body pulled closer."Doesn't seem like you mind much either, love."
Roshani bent her head, capturing his mouth, her eyes closing. Should they move to their room? More than likely. Would they? Perhaps. Though, for the moment, Roshani had no such plans. Her hips rolled, teasing him as their tongues danced.
Watching as he sat on the edge, Taliesin couldn't help but smile. Shifting from the pillar she crossed just behind him before sitting on the edge. Carefully she removed her shoes and joined Nyx in dangling her feet over the edge. Hands behind her, Taliesin reclined some, eyes falling half closed."Yes, but you have wings, I don't."A hand lifted and motioned behind her."Never have as far as I know."
She smiled though and tilted her head. The image of him sailing through the sky as a much younger Nyx was charming and she chuckled."Didn't your mother join you?"Long lashes blinked and she nodded some, the smile fading. He believed her, but he couldn't trust her. It hurt for some unknown reason. Rather than acknowledge that feeling, she nodded again, her silver hair sliding along her back."You're a high Lord, your people's safety should come first."
She didn't like being in a cage either, but for now, perhaps it was the safest place for her to be. Someone had hurt her, that was what the pretty Illyrian with the blonde hair had said. Nyx had healed her. Her head turned towards him and she studied his profile. Would he tell her how badly she was hurt? Only one way to find out."Roshani said I was hurt when I was found.."
gpt
The way she kissed him, the feeling of her hips grinding against his body, it made all of the other worries and thoughts drift away. There was no reason to think who would win in a fight between Cirrus and his lover. The truth was that Roshani had won long ago. From the first moment he had seen her, barely a physical being in his true form, it had been her victory. Now, nearly two years after their first true meeting, she still had the death god wrapped around her finger. With a groan, he returned her kiss, his tongue exploring her own like it was the first time again.
Underneath her rolling hips, Cirrus began to swell and harden. His other hand moved to join the first in cupping her firm rear, applying a little more pressure to the point they met. When he finally pulled back, now too intoxicated by her body to consider stopping, his breathing was heavy and he was fully erect.
"You know I can't resist you, Ro. If you ask to be bent over this table, I will be happy to oblige. But, I know how to make you melt." he spoke with a hungry growl in his voice.
Cirrus once again moved a hand, this time burying his fingers in her hair, gripping a handful and tugging sharply. This tilted Roshani's head back and sent a shock of delicious pain through his Illyrian lover while his mouth moved to assault her collarbone, kissing with a hungry while occasionally mixing in a gentle nip to the sensitive area.
When Taliesin motioned behind her, Nyx genuinely wondered about her wings. His father was able to conceal his wings, though Nyx refused to ever learn the trick. Perhaps her wings were hidden, or simply removed, though the second thought was horrific to consider. Either way, Nyx felt it would be less than helpful to mention this theory now.
"My mother and father would both fly with me on occasion. But... Have you ever been near a mated pair? They never made me feel neglected, mind you. They just very much crave the other's attention. So, when night fell and I was old enough to mind myself, I saw little of them. They are truly in love and it made me happy to see it never fade over the centuries."
Next seemed to be a less wholesome topic. He could hear the implied question when Taliesin asked about her injuries. Nyx, thinking back to earlier that day, which felt like a lifetime ago already, realized this was another chance to make sure his new obsession, likely his mate, favored his side. It seemed the truth would be the best weapon.
"The one who found you, Cirrus, is not a normal fae. He can smell death like a shark with blood. The only reason he found you is because he could sense you were about to die." Nyx said in a surprisingly serious tone. "I healed you, but I'm no specialist. All I could do was use power to compensate. It took quite a lot to even get you to regain consciousness."
He moved closer on the windowsill, reaching out tentatively toward her. Then, seeming to have finished some internal struggle, his hand moved to the back of her neck, rubbing gently to offer some comfort.
"Whoever or whatever did that to you, they couldn't care less if you lived or died. Do you think you would ever be able to accept that, even if your memories came back? Or would you like to stay here, where we would never treat someone like a tool?"
human
She had no shame when it came to Cirrus. Had someone else been in the room she would have moved... But only out of courtesy, not shame. She felt much the same as Cirrus, each kiss was like their first. Her passion, love... all bubbling up with abundance and wild abandon. Like a moth to his flame, Roshani was more than willing to burn herself to be close to him. It was more than a want, a need. She would never stop needing her Death God turned fae. Never not desire him like the first time they had tumbled into bed with one another.
He pulled her closer still and a low chuckle left her as Roshani ground herself against him. Even with layers of cloth and leather between them, she could feel his excitement for her. That alone spiked her own excitement and as he pulled back, his words breathy."I'd be very disappointed had you found some magic that made you impervious to my charms," Her words playful even as she added a pout to the end of them. She knew he'd never search for something of the kind... She was happy to have him wrapped around her little finger as he was to be there.
The change in his voice made a sound, soft, feminine lift from her throat. That hunger the cause of her whimper. Cirrus wasn't wrong, he new exactly how to make Roshani tremble. The hand that curled in her hair made her gasp and moan, the pangs of pain only adding spice to the building pleasure. "Mmn~" The pleased sound low as her nails moved further into his hairline, scraping along his scalp. "Indeed you do,"Her voice slowly became huskier.
The question about a mated pair drew a soft smile to her lips. She knew how mates were, when they worked out. Mated pairs didn't mean more than they were drawn to one another, it didn't mean they fit well... Though she couldn't find any memory of knowing a mated pair. Her smile faltered."No, I don't think I have.."her voice trailed off and she looked away from him and back into the slowly pink tinged world as the sun began to sink behind the mountain."It's so odd,"Taliesin said softly.."That I know what a mated pair is, know how it can go horribly wrong... Yet, I can't think of a single couple."
Missing pieces...
The childlike voice she knew as her own and she drew one leg to her chest, arms around her leg, her chin resting on her knee."What your parents have sounds beautiful though." There was raw honesty in her voice. Though she might not know any... it was something she hoped for herself someday. A love like Nyx's parents had.. Not the mismatched pairing that some found. Though, at this rate, Taliesin wondered if the cauldron would give her just that...
The answer Nyx gave to her injuries made her pale completion fade to something shallow and sickly for a moment. The amount of power he'd had to push into her body to heal her? She couldn't remember anything, which was just as frustrating. While she was thankful for his healing, a small part of her wished he hadn't. He'd had to though, if she'd been so close to death that Cirrus.. whoever that was, had sensed her.
She hadn't seen his struggle, but when his hand found her neck, Taliesin stiffened for a moment, before relaxing. The touch was gentle, soothing and it made her want to purr like a kitten. Taliesin leaned into his touch some, unable to help herself. Something about Nyx appealed to her, almost in a primal fashion. Had she not known better, known she should feel a bond between them, she might have thought them mates.. yet there was no bond that she could feel. A small part of her was saddened by the lack of the bond, wishing for it; an almost childish wish.
Nyx's words made Taliesin smile, her eyes moved to his face once more. "I'd like to stay here." She didn't know why she'd been hurt so much, but in her eyes, there was little excuse for such a beating... She didn't feel like a bad guy, though her memories were a blank slate. perhaps he'd once been horrible."If you'd have me... I don't know if I could forgive whatever was done to me. I can't say I wasn't a monster before now, but I don't feel like I was."Her words were soft, honest."I certainly don't think I am now. Cauldon knows why my memories have vanished.. Perhaps for the best?"
gpt
The sounds coming from Roshani were simply too much for Cirrus to bear. Not to mention how adorable her little pout was. His mind was full of only the single most important thing to him, his beautiful Illyrian.
"No need to pout, my love. There is no magic strong enough to take us apart. A mating bond is nothing compared to us. We chose this."
The sweetness of his words was eclipsed by the desperate need in his eyes. Waiting simply was no longer an option. Getting a more firm hold on her rear and bracing her with his grip on her hair, he Cirrus stood sharply. With a lean forward, Roshani was now sitting on the edge of the table. Then, just as quickly, Cirrus was attacking.
His hands, now free, pushed Roshani back a little, his fingers shoving her top higher to reveal the beautifully trained body. He pushed the cloth higher until her breasts were revealed and the throb that ran through his lower body was painful with his need. His mouth soon followed his hands, teeth dragging across soft skin as he nipped her breast, so close to her nipple his lips brushed it with every tiny bite.
It was simply not enough. He needed more relief or he would lose his mind. So, without stopping the assault of his teeth, which were soon joined by a hungry tongue, he pulled the belt of his trousers loose, tugging them down to fully reveal his erect cock. He was painfully swollen with need, his length thick and needy where it came to rest, pressing greedily at her thigh.
From how she described it, Taliesin certainly matched what he knew of memory loss. Not a complete loss. A person could still function because the mind knew how to keep itself going. But, the pieces that were not so necessary, yet just as important, could be lost. His musing on her memory were cut short though, as she pressed herself into his touch.
It went right to the soul, cleaving his mind and leaving him dumbfounded. Just the press of her skin to his own had the High Lord's heart pounding in his chest. Whether or not this was a true mating bond, he had feelings for this woman. She was beautiful, beautiful beyond reason in his eyes, mysterious, and fun. Everything pulled him in like a vortex and when she agreed to stay, he was lost forever in her gravity.
"It would make me very happy to have you stay. I don't think you were ever a monster, and everyone has done something wrong for one reason or another. This can be a fresh start for you. Even if you remember, we will all help you forget again if you want." there was a smile on Nyx's lips as he spoke and he found himself drifting closer to Taliesin.
With his hand still gently massaging the base of her neck, Nyx guided her gently toward him. Without a single thought about self control, or about the dangers, his lips met Taliesin's. It was a gentle kiss, but the affection in it was so genuine, bordering on need, that it frightened even himself. Then, reality hit and the High Lord pulled away, a burning blush showing through on his tanned skin.
"I'm sorry... "
human
Her heart sang with his words, they way it always did when he mentioned that while there was no bond, they'd been fated to be together. That bond, while pretty in theory and she had seen Nyx's parents so in love... She didn't feel cheated. Roshani had that with Cirrus, she didn't need the caldron to provide her with some sort of proof of it. There would never be another for her.
A low chuckle left her at the need in his eyes as his words were so sweet. Arms linked around his neck as he lift her into his arms. She was only held aloft for a moment or so before her rear found the table. Leaning back, she felt his hands push her top up and her breath quickened. Moaning, Ro let her head fall back, her breasts offered up to her ravenous lover as her back arched some, her wings flattening to allow the motion. His mouth was hot against her skin, nipping, licking trailing across the swell of her breasts.
She heard the belt, her eyes opening and she sat up a fraction, watching with her own needy eyes as his cock was revealed. A groan left her and she shifted, her hips rising, her own pants, panties following his as she pushed at her clothing. His cock pressed to the softness of her thigh and she pulled at his shirt, yanking up, her urgency palpable. There were times where they were sweeter, though normally they came together like this. Need and desire like wildfire, consuming them.
"Cirrus,"His name a soft demand, her voice full of her need.
His touch was warm against her skin, and her eyes closed for a moment, savoring the feel of his fingers as they gently kneaded her skin. Taliesin felt nothing telling her to hold back. no warning bells telling her to not get entangled with a High Lord.. No, her instincts seemed to encourage her and without memories or a reason to avoid such a desire, Taliesin could see no reason to abstain.
His words made her smile, sweet as they were. Her eyes found his, the clear ice blue of her own gaze meeting the sapphire of his. Why did it make her stomach feel funny when he seemed to make a point of sayinghe'dbe happy if she stayed. Something inside her relaxed when he agreed she wasn't a monster. The implication of his words, about helping her forget again, had she been a monster made her heart beat a little quicker. The connotation to her seemed sexual, though it likely was in her own mind.
That was until he gently pulled her in and his mouth found hers. This kiss was chaste and ended before it really began but her heart raced at the small innocent kiss. Eyes wide, Taliesin watching him pull away. Her mouth slightly parted as she stared at him. She wanted to lean back in, kiss him again... That need was so raw that she'd started to lean back in."Are you really sorry?"Her words were playful.
Her body shifted, hands resting on the marble below her, her body arching slightly.
Do it, kiss him...
The voice was silky smooth and she moved without thinking further. Her lips brushed his, lashes falling as she lingered there, lightening trailing down her spine. Slowly pulling back, her cheeks burned much like his own. "I know I wasn't.."

If Cirrus had understood what attraction truly was before Roshani, he never felt it. Sometimes it was hard to remember when he was in his old form, barely thinking, wandering from place to place drawn only by his instinct. The day he saw Roshani had changed the entire path of his fate. Now, he was tangled with that same beautiful woman in the most intimate ways. He did not understand attraction before, but now he loved every little feature of Roshani's body.
His favorite, however, was the sound of her moans. She was truly perfect and he wanted to show her body how perfect it was to him. He could have spent all day simply touching and teasing her. That is, until she almost tore her pants and panties off before saying his name, half way between pleading and demanding. There was one way to answer that tone.
Gripping his length at the base, making it swell even more with the pressure, Cirrus adjusted his body so they were properly aligned. With a soft press forward, the head of his cock found the warmth of her womanhood. Slowly, he rubbed the head back and forth until it spread her, coating the tip with her hot wetness. From there, it took only the barest of movements to enter her.
Cirrus almost hissed at the searing heat and incredible pleasure as she wrapped around him. Each small movement pushed him further inside, pulling back just a touch before going further, her body eager to squeeze him as he filled her. Finally, his body met hers and his cock brushed against the back walls of her incredible pussy. Perfect together in every way.
"Ro, it feels so good inside you. I feel ready to break this fucking table just trying to be deeper inside."
The growl of his voice was a barely controlled groan as he began to move. Inside of her, his cock was throbbing with pleasure, the head filling her so completely that the pressure of her walls around him was making him breath heavy. With the amazing sight before him and the pleasure she gave him, all Cirrus could do was sink his fingers roughly into her upper thighs and keep that grip tight as he began to speed up his thrusting, the table making the lightest protests already.
The first kiss had been pure bliss, even in spite of the shame it had brought. Her reaction, though, eclipsed the kiss completely. She was playful, smiling. She had liked the kiss. Even her body language was suggesting it had been more than pleasant. Then, a second kiss came, this time at her hand. That one, it was sweeter than anything he had ever tasted and he wanted infinitely more. The word sorry was completely gone from his mind.
"I can't say that I am either. Not after that." his smile had spread to his voice and his tone had changed. "Do you mind..."
Half way through asking permission, his body decided it was tired of waiting. Quickly, his lips caught her own again, this time in a much less chaste kiss. Though he kept his tongue to himself, he pressed his lips to her own with force and intent. Some part was afraid he would bruise those beautiful lips with the need in his kiss.
The hand gently massaging her neck now took hold, aggressively claiming her for a moment. Using his body, he moved into her space, guiding her back to rest against the side of the window. For a few moments, he kissed her, his mouth parting with a need that he was keeping barely restrained. Then, just as quickly, he pulled away, retreating fully to the other side of sill before throwing a leg over and moving fully into the room again.
"That was... Too much. I find it very hard to control myself around you Taliesin, but I won't let myself be completely wild. We have to stop."
human
In a way, Roshani felt the same. Before Cirrus she'd been with others, but never ones that made her stir the way Cirrus could. There had been lust, but that was all, nothing deeper. Since Cirrus had become fae and they had in their own way courted and then fallen in love... There had been no other, would never be another for her. No other man, woman would ever hold her attention the way Cirrus did.
Roshani couldn't say exactly what drove her to the need that burned inside her... Perhaps a small desire to have Nyx walk in and complain that they'd decided to fuck on the dining table. More so, there was never a time that she didn't want to be with Cirrus. They might not have been a mating bond between the two, but they acted as if there was. The way they craved one another, the affection and love they shared. It wasn't far off from Nyx's parents.
His name, was answered with the same urgency it had been demanded in. Roshani moaned, as Cirrus teased, her the tip of him sliding again her slick folds. Ro knew there was a reason, but it didn't stop the soft growl that slipped from her. As the tip of him pressed into her... Ro moaned again, already wet with her need for him and he'd find that out as he pushed his cock into her eager cunt.
Slick as she was, it would still take him precious moments to sheath himself in her. She could feel the resistance of her body, even with her wetness. Gripping every inch of him and as their hips met, Roshani moaned again.. Low, needy."We can always buy Nyx a new table..." She wanted that roughness, that desperation of their joining.
Her head fell back as Cirrus' hands gripped her thighs and he began to thrust into her, the table making its low protest as she moaned. Full breasts were offered up to Cirrus once more, a hand at the back of his neck, pulling him to feast on her flesh.
The smile along her lips grew as Nyx admitted that he hadn't been sorry. Warmth blossomed in her cheeks and she bit her lower lip, as he began to question her, not that Nyx finished his question."Mind?"Taliesin prompted even as his head lowered and his mouth found hers again. This kiss was not nearly as innocent as their first two and while neither of them deepened their kiss, it was passionate. The hand at the back of her neck, rubbed any tension that lingered in her muscles away and Taliesin couldn't help the soft groan that left her. The way he touched her, even in what could almost be seen as completely innocent held something else... Possession. As if for just for the moment, she belonged to him. The thought went through her like lightening.
His body pushed into her space, crowding her in a way that made her want to do more than groan... Her back pressed firmly into the pillar behind her, his own, so close, she could feel the warmth of his skin through her top. This kiss lasted longer than both of the previous ones combined and when Nyx reigned himself in, Taliesin was left breathless. Heavy lidded eyes watched as he pulled himself back from her, giving her space once more and some part of her mourned the distance that he'd put between them.
Gulping down greedy breaths, Taliesin nodded to his words. Too much... Perfect... Slowly her heat slowed and her breathing became normal."Water,"the word whispered and the house provided her with a goblet. Her mouth felt dry, aired.. and she lifted the glass drinking as greedily as she had gulped down air moments ago. Question rose in her mind. Why was it so hard to control himself? Why.. stop. Neither were asked, instead she watched him with those bright glacial eyes.
"Agreed," The words offered, though something in her tone might stand out as being off. The goblet rested between them and she gently pushed the half full crystalline goblet towards him, almost like a peace offering. "What now?"Was it odd to miss his fingers around her neck, his mouth on hers? Her lashes lowered some, and Taliesin searched inwards, looking for that link, that mated couples had. She found nothing, though, it was said that not all bonds appeared right away... Or they were not mates. Just attracted to one another. The latter far more plausible in her mind. Though the word, Mates, lingered in her mind and soul.

There were always things one could never hear without some kind of intense response. Phrases that simply tickled an emotion. Today, Cirrus learned a new one.We can always buy Nyx a new table. It was not something he expected to spur intense feelings. However, he knew Roshani could never mention this table again without him feeling something.
He breathed something between profanity and a groan. There was no need for Roshani to guide him to her breasts as he dove onto her. Not only did his mouth capture her nipple, he also forced her back completely onto the table, sliding his hands behind her knees to push them up high. He was achingly hard inside of her, swollen so much that he was sure she had never been so full of his cock before. He would change that.
Now practically laying on the table, Cirrus moved the rest of the way, his body forcing her knees even higher. Once he was fully on top of her, his knees resting on the table as he pressed himself down on her, his hips and mouth began anew.
His teeth caught her nipple for a moment, tugging just enough to cause a jolt of mixed pain and pleasure. Then, he moved quickly to bite over every inch of her breasts, leaving little red teeth marks all over. Cirrus' hips were more orderly, though no less savage. From his angle, his cock thrust straight down into her dripping pussy. The sound of flesh on flesh filled the room. His arms stretched out to grip the far edge of the table to brace them as he fucked his beloved Ro like they were two animals in heat.
"I bet you want me to break you too, don't you? Your pussy won't stop squeezing me." he spoke between rough bites, his breathing heavy as he slammed his full length into her over and over.
Nyx would have been ashamed go admit that the kiss had resulted in a subtle tenting of his trousers. He had not become fully aroused, thankfully, though it would not have taken much more. Eager for something else to think about, he took the glass with one hand, keeping the other in his lap to hide his shame until it managed to calm.
Unfortunately, half way through his drink, he thought of the lips that had been on it moments before. His eyes drifted to Taliesin, still beautiful beyond reason and a bit flushed as well. His arm shifted to make sure his erection remained hidden as he thought of those lips. What they could do. How good they could feel elsewhere besides his own mouth.
With an impressive show of willpower, Nyx turned his eyes away again. One more kiss and they would be tangled up on the floor. One more kiss and that nice, new outfit would be ripped apart. He found himself drinking heavy swallows of water, draining the remainder. His arousal faded enough that he was no longer visibly erect, his heart and mind slowing to an acceptable pace.
"Now, I guess we decide on living arrangements. I can't keep you in a cell, even if it is rather nice." he looked sheepish as he finally managed to meet her eyes again.
"You can stay on the top floor of the House. There are plenty of rooms to pick. Except, I would stay on the west end of the hall. Cirrus and Roshani, two of my closest friends, are loud. The furthest room is mine, Eldin lives there as well, though he isn't in the city at the moment. You can go wherever you want, including the open court on the roof, but you I cannot allow you out into the city."
For a few moments, Nyx got to feel like he was in control. He felt like a High Lord making the choices he needed to. Then, his eyes fell on those lovely lips again. All of his reclaimed dignity was gone. He felt like a horny young man again, wondering why he felt it so strongly. One word came to mind. Mate. Mate. Mate. Mate. Fucking mate!
"I think... If you kissed me again right now, I would lose all my self control." his words held an implication, almost like he was begging for an excuse.

Pressed flat against the table, Roshani gave another whimper. It wasn't a sound that left her mouth for anyone but Cirrus. It was almost sweet, that need that she made him aware of, as if he wasn't already, with that whimper. Her nipple in his mouth, he pushed her further back along the table as he soon joined her on top. Her knees bent like they were, they allowed Cirrus to rest between her thighs. The angle in which he pressed into her, her nails biting into his back, almost clawing at his skin with that mounting need. He was buried to the hilt in her, yet as they adjusted, there was no movement. The lack thereof was slowly driving Roshani insane. Illyrians were not always known for their patience, and Ro far less so.
Once he'd fully mounted the table and her body, that agony of waiting ended and her moans filled the dining room as Cirrus began to fuck her in truth once more. This potion, with her wings splayed across the table, spoke of her trust in Cirrus. It left her vulnerable and exposed. She felt teeth around her nipple and Roshani cried out, the sounds coming from her, slowly losing the awareness of where they were. His mouth traveled along her pale skin, leaving perfect imprints of his teeth. Shifting beneath him, Ro lifted her hips to meet each hard thrust, her nails biting into his skin, grounding herself in a way.
"If you think you can, "came her growling moaned reply. If anyone could, it would be Cirrus and she welcomed him to try. Things between them were always like this and never once had Roshani missed that sweeter love making. It wasn't quite who she was. She was a wildling at heart, a warrior and Cirrus knew just how to worship her as she needed, desired."I welcome you to try."
His own desire was matched in Taliesin, though her evidence of arousal was far less evident than his own. Though Nyx hid it from her and while she might have been interested to know, her eyes stayed on his face, refusing to dance lower. If she looked and found the same evidence she felt blossoming between her own thighs. Shifting slightly against the pillar her eyes slipped away as he took the goblet from her, her eyes on the slowly darkening sky."It's beautiful," Taliesin offered of the view before her.
The bright blue eyes didn't leave the view as he spoke. A smile played on her lips. "While I didn't favor the bars.. the view.. made up for them"Her eyes shifted then and she smiled, feeling more at ease, less riled up. "Are any of the views in those rooms able to rival this one?"Her head tilted and her smile grew at the mention of Roshani and Cirrus."I see, thank you for the advice."She could see the beautiful Illyrian being loud.. And she bit back a small, girlish giggle at the thought. A part of her hoped she and Roshani might become friends. While their meeting had been brief, she had found herself liking Roshani.
"I understand, I promise to abide by your rules." Inclining her head slightly, a rush of silver hair fell past her face. A hand moved to push the hair behind one delicate arched ear. Her eyes had come to rest on his face again and his words made her eyes flicker up. She couldn't help the smile that came to her lips any more than she could stop herself from asking."Is that a request High Lord that I do kiss you... Or that I avoid the desire to kiss you as well. Be strong for the both of us or allow you to join me in madness?"A brow lifted playfully and she shifted.
Rising with feline-like grace she held a small hand to him to help him to his own feet."Perhaps in order to be on our best behavior, then you can help me pick the best room?" She wanted to kiss him again, test his resolve, her own."You after all will know which has the prettiest views."

In truth, Cirrus was not violent by nature. Even before becoming fae, he was more a witness than anything. That all changed when Roshani got involved. It was a different kind of violence. While it hurt, no one was harmed. Instead, it brought the two into a world of more intense pleasure than they could have with anyone else. The pressure of her nails, biting into his skin almost hard enough to draw blood, hurt. However, it made every other nerve in his body burn for Roshani. She had where she wanted. Now, all that was left was to take what he wanted.
He released the edge of the table and reached over his shoulders. His hips slowed, making his cock ache for more, but he had plans to focus on. Grabbing her wrists firmly, Cirrus forced Ro to release her tight hold on his back. He put his weight behind his arms, forcing Roshani's hands to the table, just above her wings. Despite her strength, Roshani was helpless in this position, her wings unable to move with her bent arms holding them. It was not the first time he had restrained her with only his strength. It was a practiced thing, keeping her sensitive wings safe while he embraced their rougher desires.
"You should not tempt me. Now, I have to be mean. Try not to scream too loudly when you cum, my love." his voice was low, those golden eyes bright with hunger and mischief.
Running his tongue from the latest teeth marks to her neck, stopping just below her jaw, Cirrus was ready to begin his torture. First, he ceased the gentle rocking of his hips that he had maintained, instead withdrawing his cock until only the barest amount remained inside. Without warning, his hips slammed down with ferocious need, her pussy so dripping wet that he slid with ease. While his cock slammed her down into the table, his teeth sank into the side of her neck, biting repeatedly and hungrily. This began to repeat, a slow withdrawal, a vicious thrust, and all the while he groaned and bit. The table bucked in protest each time Roshani was filled, echoing in unison with the sound of their bodies meeting.
Nyx felt a momentary bit of shame at the implication of Taliesin's question. It was most certainly an invitation. He was almost begging the woman to break their little truce, momentary as it was, and kiss him. It took a swell of effort to suppress the almost animal urges Nyx felt, but, in the end, he took her hand with all the dignity he could muster and stood.
"It was a request. One you declined for the better, I'm sure. It seems like something beautiful has come around and impaired my judgment today."
With a short, sharp breath to calm himself, the High Lord led Taliesin to the exit of the cell. He waved it away effortlessly again, taking a moment to let her walk through on her own. It was seemed only fair to give her the freedom to leave on her own, since she had been given no choice when she arrived.
"Almost every window in this building has a view like this. Or, if you take the room I have in mind, you can see the whole city and the bay." there was a bit of smugness in his voice as he spoke. "You are in the Night Court, Taliesin. In Velaris, the Court of Dreams. The view during the day is not what we treasure here. Let me show you Velaris at night. Then, you can decide if you like my city."

As Cirrus shifted, Roshani knew what was coming and she made him fight, just a little, to capture her wrists and then to pin them above her head, trapping her wings. This was the most submissive position for her and it was something that she'd never let another do to her. This was Cirrus' alone and Ro knew from personal experience just how it made her feel. With another, she'd have fought back tooth and nail, with Cirrus? It made everything all the sweeter. It was here, when she gave up her control, that she had the best orgasms.
A low growl slipped through her lips at his words, a sort of defiance flashing in her eyes. Roshani would indeed scream with her release... They both knew it, but this little struggle of wills, until she finally gave in? It was part of the fun for at least her. In the end, Cirrus would win. Be it she really gave in or she'd had her fill.. She saw the mischief in his eyes seconds before his head bent, his tongue trailing along the fresh marks on her neck. Moaning, the sounds louder than before she felt Cirrus pull his hips back, the length of him leaving her. She felt the absence for but a moment before he thrust himself back into her without mercy.
As they found a rhythm, Cirrus fucking her with hard, deep thrusts, their hips slapping together. Cirrus' mouth found her neck and she felt the sharpness of his teeth, it made Roshani feel lip putty in his arms. She could hear everything. The growling of Cirrus, the sound of skin on skin, her throaty, lusty moans and the sound of the table struggling with their weight and abuse. Roshani's moans were no longer restrained, the sound of her pleasure could be heard drifting down the hallway. Already on the edge, Roshani was forced to fight her orgasm, though that fight would be lost as she cried out her pleasure, all but a scream. Around him, her body trembled, squeezing him as she rode her orgasm.
Her hand in Nyx's, Taliesin smiled softly. Her body, her mind still demanded she kiss him."I see,"her voice purred softly,"You are far too kind,"smiling as she shifted for a moment. Her lips brushed his cheek. This kiss was far sweeter and lasted a heart beat before she stepped back."I can remember something I was told once. That waiting makes everything sweeter."She gave a shrug as she chuckled."Now, if it is true, I couldn't say."
Led to the cell doorway. She watched the bars vanish with a wave of his hand and as she walked past him, she brushed her body against his. It seemed that while she wasn't ready to give in, she wasn't against teasing them both. In the hallway she waited for him to join her. Her head tilted to the side, her eyes moving down the hallway. She thought she'd heard something. Dismissing it, she looked back to Nyx as he began to explain.
"If I can't visit it, being able to gaze upon its beauty will soothe the pain."Smiling she allowed him to lead her further, occasionally her hand would brush against his own. There was no reason to walk so close to him, but Taliesin didn't feel like putting distance between them, their closeness soothing in it's own way. As they wandered closer to the dining room, they could hear what was going on. Taliesin didn't know where they were heading and she blinked as they walked in on Cirrus and Roshani. Taliesin's mouth opened in surprise, blush burning in her cheeks. Had she and Nyx been closer, she might have stepped closer, hidden her face against his shoulder.

Nyx found all of the small touches from Taliesin to be intoxicating. She brushing of their hands, the feeling of her body going past him, and especially that gentle kiss on his cheek, all of it made him want to grin like a child. It also made him want to hold her tightly and make those touches last longer. Still, he could feel the truth in her words. Waiting certainly would make it sweeter.
What Nyx did not find sweet, was the sounds that came down the hallway. They needed to pass by the dining hall to reach the often neglected stairs. After all, everyone flew from floor to floor here. However, Nyx had no way of predicting was what they would witness when they reached those doors. In front of the pair was Cirrus and Roshani, fucking with an intensity he found almost shocking. Almost, only because it was not the first time he had seen it. What he did take issue with was the location.
"You two are impossible! This is how you are greeting out new guest! We eat here! All of us!"
Cirrus could only chuckle as he continued his thrusting without pause. A glance toward Nyx confirmed his presence and the presence of the woman he had rescued earlier. While he was not exceptionally interested in exhibitionism, the scenario was quite exciting. Roshani was orgasming around him while a woman he had never spoken to watched his throbbing cock continue to slam into he beloved. In the end, it proved to be too much.
"Ro, your new friend is going to watch me fill you with cum. Fuck, Ro, they are watching us cum!"
Even as he announced it, Cirrus plunged into her a final time, rocking the head of his cock against her deepest parts as he filled her with cum. He throbbed mercilessly inside, that final bit of excitement from being seen driving him to release even more of his seed inside. He remained inside, rolling his hips to milk every last drop out and make sure Roshani enjoyed her orgasm to the fullest.
Finally, he withdrew himself from inside his lover, his large cock still half hard and covered in a mix of their combined orgasms. He was glistening with a thin layer of sweat and the table under them now had a significant mess, though it had withstood their abuse admirably. Unfortunately for Nyx and Taliesin, Roshani had trained anything resembling shame out of her lover, and Cirrus simply kissed the Illyrian woman, his hunger for her neverending.
When the pair began to kiss so savagely after their climaxes, Nyx managed to finally break the trance he and Taliesin were held in. In a mix of shame and outrage, the High Lord grabbed Taliesin's hand and dragged her down the rest of the hallway. It was not until they reached the stairwell that he stopped pulling her along. However, he instead found himself pinning her against the wall, not dissimilar to how he had her pinned in the window shortly before.
"I'm sorry for them. I want to say I don't know what is wrong with them, but it isn't the first time they have been caught..." the embarrassment made the words stick in his throat. "Doing that in public places. They are insatiable. Like animals. Unable to keep their hands off each other."
It was this statement that made him realize how they stood, only a few inches keeping them apart. He could lean down and kiss her again right now. Quickly, Nyx became aware of his body, the bulge in his trousers, the heavy breathing and flushed faces the two shared. In an instant, he retreated, nearly falling as he moved far enough away to need to take a step down the opposite stairs. His heart was pounding and his anger at the pair was already lost. He wanted Taliesin so badly in this moment that it made him ache, both in his hard cock and his heart. Why could the bond not just click?! Mate. Mate. Mate! It had seemed so easy for his parents.

Roshani had heard them coming in, but in the moment, she hadn't cared. How could she as the bliss of her own orgasm ran through her system, pleasure eating at every nerve ended. She could hear Cirrus above her and the words, the audience, his own excitement at others watching was met by her. His hips had not stopped as she came for him, so the words and his continuing thrust drew another cry from her as they both came, her for a second time. Panting she turned her head and smiled at Nyx, like the cat that ate the canary."If you don't think you're parents have done the same thing.. Then you are fooling yourself, Nyx"Her words breathy and there was no shame in her voice.
When Cirrus pulled from her she moaned and tugged at her hands, they slipped around his neck, their audience forgotten once more. Pulling him into, they began to kiss tongue tangling together. Roshani would make it up to her new friend, but she felt no shame when it came to Nyx. He'd seen them before and Roshani and Cirrus didn't always contain their activities to their bedroom. She could remember the first time he'd come across them.. On the roof. They'd been training and somehow their fight had lead to their close being shed and Cirrus fucking her hard underneath the warmth of the sun. It was still a fond memory.
She jumped a little when Nyx grabbed her hand, her cheeks still burning. It was hard to not be aroused after witnessing what they had.. So shortly after their own heated kiss. She was pulled through the room and to their original goal of the stairs."I think you might need a new table..."There was a bit of humor in her voice, even if her eyes were still wide, her own breathing a bit quicker than it had been before they'd found the couple.
Her back was pressed to a wall and she looked up at him, his words making her smile slightly. Like they seemed to feel about each other, though they had just met. She wanted to touch him. Taliesin wanted to break their truce, to kiss him. Throw all caution to the wind and just see what happened. It seemed that Nyx realized how he'd had her pinned to the wall, she saw it in his eyes as she gazed up at him. She wanted him to kiss her, wanted to kiss him and it took more self-restraint than she was proud to admit to hold herself back from simply rising on her toes and pressing her lips against his. Biting back a giggle as he backpedaled away from her as if she were on fire, nearly tripping himself. Her head fell back to the coolness of the pillar, eyes closing as they both tried to cool the feelings that hadn't been helped by Roshani and Cirrus.
After a few moments she pushed off the pillar. She didn't know what they were, she didn't know the bond. But she found herself liking the High Lord, wanting to be with him, much like Roshani and Cirrus had been... But, she didn't know him, had just met him, so the feeling of desire and lust.. Felt off. She couldn't remember her past, but she didn't feel like someone who casually hopped in and out of bed. For a moment, Taliesin wasn't even sure if she had ever been with anyone. No past, no memories... And it wasn't like she could just know. Her eyes moved to Nyx. She held her hand to him,"Show me my room?"A smile on her lips.
gpt
It was at this moment, when the awkwardness had reached a head that Nyx considered invoking his magic and simply melting into the shadows. He could not, of course, give into this desire. He was the High Lord for one, and not a complete ass for another. Still, the temptation did exist and he truly had no idea what to say or do. The only thing that was for certain was that his body wanted to throw itself at Taliesin. Then, she made a joke.
Nyx found himself laughing warmly. It would likely be for the best to throw the damned thing in a fire now. If they had not irreparably damaged it with that... Intensity... It would at least be stained with a memory that Nyx had no desire to recall. Eldin, his final court member, would likely laugh his head off when Roshani told him. Then, she would mention the comment about his parents. Yes, burning would do nicely.
"You would be surprised. We eat there, so I have to agree about the table. But, if I got rid of all the furniture those two had... Used, I would be left with nowhere to sit and barely anything to train with. You should see when they train together. No. Nevermind. You should not see."
As he spoke, the nervousness drained away again and it was back to that comfortable feeling they seemed to share when alone. Like anything would be okay so long as it was just the two of them. This time, his smile was less strained, the awkwardness forgotten completely. He hand reached out to hold hers, more gentleman than affection, though he relished the touch.
"I think I will."
Guiding her up the stairs, he did his best to keep pace with her shorter stride. It was two floors up to the top, and another to reach the training yard. At the top of the stairs, he made a point of pulling her to the left, the western hallway. After what they had just witnessed, Nyx expected Taliesin to understand exactly why that couple needed half of a floor to themselves.
"Eldin uses the room across from the stairs. He comes and goes quite a bit, though he uses the window most nights."
The tour led down the hallway and almost to the very last room. However, he stopped short and opened the one to his right, revealing Taliesin's new room. It made the prison cell, which had been quite lavish, look like a beggar's hovel. A large four post bed with drapes, a whole area with two plush chairs and a couch, along with a small reading table. The bathroom was attached and contained a tub nearly the size of the cell. The ceiling was even decorated with a mural of the night sky on the ceiling, courtesy of his mother. But, what Nyx wanted to show her most was the window. Wide enough for an Illyrian to pass through with their wings spread, it overlooked the entire city, which was now sparkling like an ocean of diamonds in the night.
"This is the best view in the city. This is the Velaris, the city of starlight. You can see the Sidra, all the way to the bay and out into the ocean. Not to mention, every single star in the sky. My parents never liked living here because of all the luxury, but I could never give up these windows. So, is this better than the cell?"
human
His laughter rang through her body like a bell, the warmth, joy from her silly joke to break the tension that Roshani and Cirrus had only set burning once more. They'd both felt it, she'd seen it as she had gazed into his eyes, felt it in every fiber of her being. Her cheeks still held that warm blush and she giggled at him, her eyes averting shyly. "Well that is certainly a thought. Can't have a High Lord looking like a pauper." She teased"And it wouldn't make a lot of sense to tell anyone who visits about the um.. reason you don't have furniture."Her eyes went wide and she laughed, the sound bright."I think I have had my fill of watching them have sex.."Her voice was warm.
His smile drew her own back to her lips as he took her hand, though more formal than the lacing of fingers Taliesin had been wishing for. Her desires when it came to Nyx were confusing and made little sense. Some things she wished for were far more intimate than strangers were open to. Even if they had fucked on the floor of her cell, they wouldn't offer the sort of things she seemed to crave. It made her question the lack of what she would expect with such emotions. Yet no matter how she searched it wasn't there.
Nyx slowed for her, which she appreciated as they ascended the stairs. Her smile came back as he pulled her away from the wing of Cirrus and Roshani, leading her the opposite way."Windows? Does he have wings too?"Her eyes flickered to his own wings. A small part of her wanted to touch them, to see if they felt like they looked. Her own wings had been beautiful, though she couldn't remember them, feathers and soft like down. Like the blue wings of the peregrine falcon. Stepping into the room she let out a breath, taking the room in. It was.. beautiful.
"I should have known the room you'd show me to was lovelier by far than my cell."She left his side and moved further in. She didn't miss the ceiling, but her attention was dragged from the beautiful mural to the view. Hugging the pillar, she looked out on the world before her."Nyx,"his name was whispered in awe at the before her. She felt him come up beside her and she turned her head to face him, her blue eyes shimmering with tears."Yes,"the word filled with raw emotion. Though her eyes didn't linger on his, they went back to the view. She felt remorse at not being allowed into the city... Yet she understood the desire to protectthis.
gpt
"Eldin has wings when he wants to. He is a shapeshifter, not from this Court originally." Nyx cut himself off before he could explain much more. He wanted her to enjoy the room.
It was, of course, beautiful. His parents had always said the city was built to be seen at night. The night sky of Velaris was painted on more surfaces than he could count in his parents' home. It was always one of the first things he showed anyone who came to the House of Wind. He would need to show her the House itself when they had a chance. The jewel on the crown of the city, the windows like gemstones at night. It always confused him why they had never lived in such an amazing building before he became High Lord.
"This city has meant everything to the High Lords of the Night Court. Before, it was a secret from everyone who did not live here. A few centuries ago, the world found out about it and they have tried to take it ever since. Three times Hybern has attacked here since the secret got out. I think you can see why we made sure they never had a chance. No one is going to take the Court of Dreams from us. Of course, they haven't tried since I came of age and they had to deal with both myself and my father... "
There was a bit of pride in his voice as he moved to sit on the window again. There was no chance of taking her away from this view. It would be best if they just stayed right here for a while. So, he spoke into the empty room.
"Two glasses of wine and some bread." The House answered as always and Nyx quickly retrieved them from the open air before the magic lost patience. "You can ask for anything we have in storage and the House will make it for you. Just be quick to grab it. The magic has an attitude problem sometimes."
Taking a long drink of wine, he looked out fondly on the city. Roshani had grown up here, of course. But Eldin and Cirrus had been just like this when they first looked out the windows at night. Sometimes Nyx still felt it. But, what it really begged him to do when he looked out these windows was to fly. The full view, to him, could only by taken in from the air.
"I should take you out some time soon. Flying, I mean. You can see the mountains and the House too."

Shifters were not unheard of and Taliesin could even remember vaguely that it was a prominent gift of the Spring Court. Of course, that didn't make Eldin spring court. She smiled softly at the explanation, the wind brushing against them as they stood at the window. Drinking in the view, she slowly slid to sit. Taliesin didn't want to move, or break her sight from the view quite yet. Much like the information about the Spring Court, she could recall small things about this city. It had been hidden for so long, kept secret from the word. She even knew how the city had been exposed, the human queens had betrayed Nyx's mother and father. Which had opened the city to attack from Hybern.
Her eyes finally shifted from the view to him. The glacial blue of her eyes held sorrow, "I remember how the city was attacked the first time..." Her voice trailed off and she blinked away new tears. She understood why it was constantly under attack.. yet for some reason it pained her. "I am glad it has you both to protect it,"Her hand moved to touch his and she smiled at him as he sat beside her."You'd be a force to be reckoned with." Taliesin didn't know this to be true, but somehow, she felt it. In her bones she knew she was right.
Laughter left her as he told her about the house and it's magic. Her eyes shimmered and she took her own wine glass, sipping her as she leaned against the pillar, watching as she sun set."I will be sure not to leave the house waiting." She took another sip of her wine, though her eyes found his again this time Taliesin's smile was shy. "I would like that."Her heart raced at the idea and for a moment, there was a feeling in her chest. Like a memory was fighting to be free, but it faded and the feeling faded. It had been like dropping in the sky like a rock, the way the stomach rose to the throat and then plummeted back down.
Reaching for the bread she offered him some. The meal was simple, but Taliesin wouldn't have traded it, the company or the view for anything... Not even her memories. Taliesin had already decided whatever was in the past could stay there. She would make a new life here... new memories. As the sun set and the City of Starlight came to life, they talked.. their conversations sweet, silly subjects. Neither willing to bring the either down and not matter if she wanted a kiss before he left, she was determined to behave. Yet, as he rose and she followed him, her hand caught his.
She leaned up on her tiptoes and pressed a kiss to his lips, Taliesin still holding his hand. It was a sweet kiss and as she pulled back she gave him a shy smile."Sorry.. I couldn't help myself. Thank you for the room, you were right." She looked past him to the view. "About the view." Releasing his hand she stepped back, hugging herself."Sleep sweet, Nyx"

As Nyx sat in his bed after leaving Taliesin, he found himself constantly thinking back to that last kiss. They had kissed several times during the day, and wanted to many more. All of them had been fantastic. But, that last one had been sweet beyond words. It kept him up long after he laid down and each time he thought back, he could almost recall the feeling on his lips. It was silly, almost childish, to reminisce on a kiss like this.
Centuries ago, he had felt the same way about the very first time anyone had ever kissed him. He had smiled and blushed, thought about the kiss for days. But, that was so many years and, if he was to be honest, many lovers ago. Why were Taliesin's lips so sweet? And why that one kiss? It dawned on him as he finally slipped into sleep. He had earned it, waited and spoke with Taliesin, wanting nothing but company. Then, she had kissed him. A real kiss, not free of this unspoken bond they seemed to have, but alongside it. Real affection had come through that kiss.
It was later the next day that Nyx would be treated to another kiss. This time, it was pure chance. The High Lord rounded a corner with some speed, not yet wary for someone so much shorter than himself to be walking about when so many others flew most places and had some duties to occupy them. So, the two collided and Nyx grabbed her shoulders. Pressed together, so near embracing, Nyx felt that deep bond, that impossible love he could only associate with the mating bond. He had begun to kiss her before thinking and for a few seconds Taliesin and Nyx let the world disappear.
A few seconds after that, reality came back with a crash and Nyx pulled himself away. Though Taliesin seemed not to mind his sudden affection, it broke their truce and he had been forced to quickly excuse himself. It had been innocent, chaste. It barely even counted as flirting. These were all things that Nyx told himself.
Two days later, Eldin returned with news from the Summer Court, their negotiations the reason for his extended leave. The news was, to say the least, grim. Though the feud between their families had been put aside long ago, relations were not spectacular. Now, when the other Courts, even Spring and Autumn had agreed to at least the barest amount of an intelligence network, Summer stood strong. They outright refused to work with the Night Court in lieu of a serious military threat. So short sighted. Therefore, Nyx decided that he would have to go himself. A full day and night in the Summer Court, a day and night without Taliesin.
When they met for dinner, now exclusively at her room's window and not at that damned table, Nyx decided to tell Taliesin the news. There was no way of remembering who had started this kiss, but it was not chaste. The days of longing exploded and Nyx found himself once again pinning the petite fae. This time, however, she was against his own body, the softness of her overwhelming.
Their tongues met with hunger, his hands sliding down her back to firmly grab her ass. They were moving now, kissing without break. Her legs were wrapped around his waist and he held her tight, pressing her between his body and the wall, his need pressed against her. It was close, so close. He nearly pulled her clothes off right there and took her against the wall. They were long past the boiling point and he was prepared to spill over, not caring if it burned him in the end.
In the end, it was courtesy that stopped them. A knock on the door and a question from Cirrus. The two broke apart like they had committed an atrocity and been caught in the act. Both the dinner and their needs ended prematurely as Nyx left to discuss the topic of his imminent trip to the Summer Court. In the end, the High Lord did not see Taliesin before he left the next morning. Instead, recalling a story from his parents, he left her an enchanted paper, connected to one he kept with him.
The negotiations were worse than even he had expected. Insults were thrown, several at Nyx's mother. Telsind, High Lord of the Summer Court, nearly lost his head, both figuratively and quite literally. It was only a snide comment at the end of his negotiations that forced Nyx to spend the night.
"The Summer Court, unlike your mother, keeps their word. You may stay."
Unable to reject, which would break the terms of the negotiation, Nyx was forced to stay the night at High Lord Telsind's palace. Of course, once he was left alone, Nyx could think of only one thing. Taliesin.
Lying in his bed, Nyx thought of those final moments together. The feeling of her body pressed to his own, the hot teasing of her tongue. Before he realized it, the fae male had become almost painfully erect. With Taliesin in his mind, Nyx closed his eyes tightly and freed his hard cock from his bottoms.
While he began stroke his length, his mind drifted to the feeling of her ass in his hands, how it would be to rub his thick cock against it. Thoughts of her mouth wrapped around him, her small mouth struggling with his eight inches, drove him closer to the edge. In the end, his mind flashed back to the scene of Cirrus and Roshani together. However, he imagined himself filling Taliesin with his seed, making her almost scream in climax. It was this that pushed him over the edge, his orgasm intense as his cum released in thick ropes, all the while wishing it was inside of Taliesin.
It was these thoughts, along with a vague guilt, that plagued him as he returned to Velaris, sending word ahead of him through the notes he had shared with his possible mate.

Nyx wasn't the only one who snuck in kisses and the like. More than once she had pulled him into her, desperate for one more kiss from the High Lord who made her heart race. The days passed with many little interactions just like that, initiated on both sides. Slowly the devolved from sweetness into something far more carnal... But that didn't mean there wasn't still the sweetness that had seemed to be inherent to their budding relationship.
The first of such interactions they had been sitting in her room, sharing dinner and she had reached over, finally bold enough to stroke his wings. Taliesin's fingers had been gentle as she had touched the warmth of his wings, that felt just like suede beneath her fingers. The way his body had shuddered and the look of surprise on Nyx's face had been well worth her curiosity. He'd pulled her in closer, explaining why she should be oh so careful touching Illyrian wings... his voice husky as his mouth found hers. Nyx had explained in detail exactly what her next touch would draw from him... In truth the knowledge did nothing but make Taliesin want to touch his wings again, to test the warning he'd given her.
Another time she had found him in the library, pouring over books, his brow wrinkled and a look of concentration on his face. He'd been so preoccupied, he'd not heard her sneak up behind him, her small body between his wings as her hands covered his eyes. The tip of her tongue had run along the edge of his ear, as she demanded he guess who. It had been this interaction that had opened the floodgates, to the more passionate encounters. Much like the one just before he left for the Summer Court... Where they had all but given into their lust. Taliesin's body pressed against the pillar and Nyx. She had known exactly how hard he'd gotten, his hands pulling her closer as their mouths had slanted over one another. The knock had made them come apart panting, flustered, like two younglings caught in the act.
Nyx had left the next day, though he'd left behind an enchanted piece of paper, to which they wrote back and forth on... Much like their interactions it had started with sweetness.How are you? I keep hoping you round a corner and kiss me... Diner isn't the same without you... Her last message before bed had been cruel, Taliesin would have admitted that.. But it had been a week of endless teasing and her body was begging for release. So she had written a salacious message about just how she wanted him to take care of it. Her cheeks had burned as she used Roshani and Cirrus for inspiration, though in her note, the pair had made love where they had been eating dinner, as the night sky rose around them her cries or pleasure eaten by the wind they both so loved. She had no idea what she had driven Nyx to and she had been sorely tempted to do much the same. She didn't though... instead she had fallen asleep, curled around the paper and pen. Though, she would have been pleased to know she'd driven Nyx to such a thing and saddened at the same time that he'd not asked her to help.
Nyx's return had made Taliesin beg Roshani for help. She wanted to make him drool and while she wasn't allowed into the city, Ro was. Roshani was more than happy to help and returned with adress sure to make Nyx drool, knowing full well what her High Lord suspected Taliesin to be... It was devious and perhaps unkind.. The dress was utterly see-through, though golden sequins covered all the important bits... yet there was no hiding the curve of her breasts, the narrowness of her stomach, the shape of her legs and the apex of her thighs. Roshani had convinced Eldin and Cirrus to take her dancing, leaving Nyx to discover his mate.
Candles glowed around her, their warm light dancing off her dress and her loose silver locks that curled softly down her back. Her lips had been painted a soft shimmery gold. Taliesin had planned to try and seduce Nyx, not knowing the details of his visit to the Summer Court or the frustration it had brought. The others had, but they figured his mate, wrapped in almost nothing would brighten his mood.

The second day at the Summer Court had fared significantly better than the first, though that meant little in the overall shape of things. There were significantly less insults pointed at Nyx's parents, only a single flare up of shadow magic that threatened to tear the palace apart, and a lovely lunch where Telsind actually managed to discuss the state of his Court openly. It was, without a doubt, a breakthrough. It had also been exhausting and tedious, with Nyx forced to sit and listen to why he was untrustworthy.
By the time Nyx winnowed into the air outside of Velaris, it was the perfect hour. The city was alight, the sky mirroring those endless dots. The House was lit as well, his burning jewel. It was, in a way, soothing just to be home. However, there was one thought that was more alluring than even the view of his home. The notes he had exchanged with Taliesin had taken a turn last night, driven him to the brink of lust. Truce he damned. She would be his tonight.
So, with a slow dive toward the House, Nyx returned without pomp or circumstance. Instead, he entered as he always had, landing soundlessly in the window of his own room. It was a close thing, his choice to arrive in his own room. Nyx had been sorely tempted to go straight to his... His what? His lover? Perhaps soon he would have that answer as well.
Instead, the High Lord decided to change clothes. He picked out the same black and silver tunic, along with the trousers he had worn that day a week ago. Taliesin had seemed to be a fan and he was in no mood to deny her even the smallest satisfactions. Tonight was meant to leave them both satisfied. Fully prepared, Nyx made his was out of the room and to the neighboring door. While she was the closest to him when he slept, a thought he enjoyed quite a bit, the luxury of the House meant it was still a good distance to her door, enough that she would not hear his own open or close. He would go with surprise tonight.
With a sudden burst, Nyx cast the door open, standing in the entrance with a look that could only be described as his 'playing with Taliesin' look. It was a mischievous smirk and a light in his eyes that seemed to represent boundless energy and a sweet, but ultimately slightly immature, desire to flirt and joke. He was confident, ready. Until she turned to him in that dress.
It was, without doubt, the most stunning garment he had ever seen worn. The way it hugged her curves, the sinfully translucent fabric. She was draped in nothing and yet not quite nude. There was no comment on the dress. Not yet. It took the sparks of lust that had been heating up all week and turned them into roaring flames. Without bothering to close the door, Nyx stepped across the room, his long legs moving with purpose and he was in front of her in a heartbeat.
His hesitations burned away, Nyx placed his hands on Taliesin's hips, the warmth of her skin passing through the thin fabric completely. Then, he was on her. His lips crashed into Taliesin's with impossible need. His tongue moved to dance with her own, his wings flaring in delight as he finally took what he wanted. His arms held the other fae tightly, keeping their bodies together, that damned dress letting him feel all of her. It was a long, long few moments before he broke the kiss, panting without shame.
"Turn around and let me see it from behind, Talie." Nyx said with command in his voice, ownership. Taliesin was a strange fae found on the beach. Talie belonged to the High Lord.
human
She'd been a bit nervous, even with her desire to seduce Nyx. The dress she'd requested from Roshani had been delivered a thousand fold. Taliesin had wanted something to make him swallow his tongue.. made that self-control he enacted around himself shatter. Her own had been discarded the moment she'd donned the dress. The sheer netting of the dress was silky against her skin and not even the layers of sequins sewn into the fabric made it feel itchy, nor did it feel heavy, despite the fact it should have been. Talie had loved the way it hugged her body, clinging to the sweeping curves of her small form. She'd felt sexy in it, how couldn't she and Roshani had taken one look at her in the dress and proclaimed Nyx was doomed.
All others had left the house and she could feel her uneasy toying at the edge of her mind. She was pushing their tenuous truce to behave. In reality, she was shattering it, at least, that was her goal. They had been dancing around their attraction, their blatant lust for one another for a week now. Not long, true. Yet, Taliesin couldn't help but feel like it was already too long. She craved Nyx. She'd dreamed more than once, what it might be like to be under him, to have her mouth around him or him on his knees. Her mind and body both had been left trembling with need as they came together, wild and fleeting for the past week. Each time, they had both frown bolder. From the first time he'd rounded a corner and crashed into her and she found herself pressed firmly into a wall, his mouth slanted over hers, leaving her breathless and yearning for more as he pulled away and continued on his way. To just nights previous, where once more, she'd found herself pinned, her body pressed against his. There had been no shame in her, as she'd ground herself against Nyx. They'd been interrupted and Nyx had been drawn away.
To say she'd been frustrated was an understatement.
She had heard him moving in the room next to hers. Something that had not taken her long to figure out. Her room was directly beside his. Though as the door burst open, Taliesin felt her heart racing. The smirk on his face, the way his eyes dance and made her knees weak and her core go molten. She watched his face change, as if in slow motion as he took her and she silently thanked Roshani. Her voice was husky,"Welcome home, Nyx."This had been the exact response she'd wanted from him. He moved quickly, coming to stand before her, the door left ajar. It didn't matter, Roshani had promised to keep the others busy till the morning.
Nyx's hands burned along her skin and Taliesin couldn't help but whimper at the look in his eyes seconds before his mouth claimed hers. Their kiss was like throwing kindling onto a bonfire, it only fueled what was already burning between them and they answered one another in turn. His tongue was the first to slip into her mouth, but her own answered his without hesitation and she moaned softly into their kiss. Her fingers brushed along the sensitive spot where his wings sprouted from his back, fully aware of what that touch would bring. She knew the dress was its own sort of foreplay, for while it hid everything, it hid nothing.
As he pulled back, panting Taliesin looked up at Nyx, her own breathing ragged. The command didn't help the desires pooling in her stomach. She turned, slowly. Theback was bare down to her rear, yet, like the front of the dress, it was no less a tease. A cape of matching fabric from between her shoulder blades. Turning, the two jagged lines along her back were on display. Taliesin herself couldn't see them, but Nyx would be able to. A broken fae might be all the more tempting. The cape was drawn to one side, showing him most of her bare back. The elegant line of her spin and beyond the marks, pale, perfect flesh.
"Do you like it, High Lord?"Her smile was soft, her chin resting on her shoulder. Her voice was playful, her eyes veiled by thick lashes. She knew he did, but she wanted to hear it. Taliesin found that she liked the way Nyx touched her. The dominance.. the possession he displayed. It aroused her just as much as his searing kisses.
gpt
The dress, the kiss, it was all incredible. Nyx had never felt such a burning desire to have someone, to touch her and be touched in return. His arousal was growing by the second, his self-control already thrown away the moment he took in her figure barely veiled by the dress. Then, Taliesin has touched his wings. The delighted sound that escaped his mouth into her own was pure animal lust. He knew that he was becoming almost painfully hard, his trousers failing to hide even a bit of the large bulge. Then, that cheeky little question.
"Do I like it? Talie, that dress is the single most amazing thing I have ever seen." as Nyx spoke, he moved closer and pressed the bulge of his cock against the curves of her ass. "You feel what you have done to me? I intend to make you answer for it."
Nyx drank in every detail of her from behind, trying to memorize it just as well as he had the front. She was truly a flawless jewel, except those two scars beside her shoulder blades. Yet, his mind drunk on lust, he did not connect the truth of them just yet. Instead, he found the imperfections to be charming. Slowly, with the slightest hesitation before he completely abandoned the promise they had made, flimsy as it already was, Nyx put his hands on her shoulders.
His fingers worked with patience, but the strength behind them showed how he needed her. Massaging softly, Nyx moved them moments later. One wrapped around to wrap around Taliesin's throat, applying no real pressure, but guiding her body more fully against him. The other shamelessly went to her breast, grasping it from the side to feel without the sequines interfering. Now fully pressed together, he throbbed against her ass, moving his hips slightly to grind against her.
His voice this time was almost a growl as he finally started to enjoy that body he had craved from the moment they met. Meeting her eyes, he leaned in close to her ear, his breath tickling the skin from the nearness as he whispered, full of need and an aggressive dominance.
"I am done being behaving. You going to be mine, Talie. I am going to take this dress off and fuck you, make you scream for me. What we saw on that table is nothing... Nothing compared to what I am going to give you. Do you want it?"
human
Her lashes rose and a smile curled along her lips."You wound me, Nyx. The dress is the most amazing thing?" There was no hurt in her voice, but she clearly was having fun at his expense. She felt the firmness pressed against her mouth went dry suddenly. Swallowing, Taliesin fought the urge to rub herself against him.. More than she already was. She hadn't been able to stop herself from rolling her hips gently, pushing herself against him."Oh?"Her voice was breathy, but it no longer had anything to do with their kissing.
Her Head turned to the city below that glittered in the dark as his fingers worked along her neck. His hands were strong, dexterous, melting any tension that had lived in her neck, shoulders. Talie's eyes fell closed and she took the simple, almost sweet touch. Though it didn't last and his desires became evident as one strong hand curled around her neck, pulling her back against him, her back pressed to his chest as his other hand cupped her breast from the side. Nothing but a thin layer of sheer material separating him from her bare flesh.
As Nyx ground himself against the softness of her ass, her breath hitched and the growl that left him was answered with a whimper. Her eyes caught his from the corner of her eyes and she felt his lips brushed the shell of her ear as he whispered. A hand moved to her mouth, smothering the moan that his words alone drew from her. There was no shame in the fae before him. Desire, need...
"Are you threatening me with a good time, Nyx?" her hand had fallen from her mouth and her playful, almost flippant response lost some of it's edge from the way her voice trembled with his promise. Her mind flashed back to that first day, Roshani and Cirrus on the table... Her eyes became hazy and she nodded, before answering."Yes."The singular word dripped with her desire, her need. Testing the waters she turned, if he'd let her, her mouth finding his. If he didn't, she would whimper again.

When Taliesin turned to kiss him, Nyx made no effort to stop her. With both of them breathing deep in an effort to control their desire as it boiled over well beyond the agreed limits, one would expect the kissing to be brief. Instead, Nyx let the lovely little fae toy with his tongue, explore his mouth. He eagerly returned the favor. Instead of breaking away, Nyx caught breaths where he could, gasping in delight as they repositioned or inhaling deeply through his nose when a moan froze Talie's tongue.
The kissing itself was not the major focus for Nyx, though. Instead, he took the chance to scoop Taliesin up, never slowing with the kissing. Each kiss, each breath, was a step closer to the bed. Last time they had attacked each other, someone had interrupted. Now, there would be no such thing. While Nyx had no idea if they were home, he no longer cared. Let them watch. If this was how it felt for Roshani and Cirrus, he understood a little bit more of them. What he did not understand was the need to use the table. As he set Taliesin on the bed, it seemed much preferable.
Finally, he broke the kissing, his mouth slightly agape as his tongue hesitated to return to his mouth. His eyes were glacial, bright and clear despite the burning desire inside. Nyx looked Taliesin over again, admiring the way the dress fit her once more. It crossed his mind for a moment to simply rip the thing to pieces, but it was far too marvelous to deserve that. Instead, with Taliesin sitting on the edge of the bed, Nyx sank down to his knees.
"The dress is amazing. But, even the best dress is useless without someone beautiful inside. We will have to let it stay with us for a while yet."
Now before her on his knees, looking up at those eyes, Nyx understood very clearly that all of his doubt was misplaced. Taliesin, the strange thing that Cirrus had found on the shore, was most certainly his mate. The way his heart ached in the most pleasant way when she was around, the irresistible urge to smile at her teasing, especially the desires that had consumed him whole this week. All of it only made sense if they were to be mates. So, any boundaries were meaningless and any fears useless, bond fully formed or not. His heart belong to the one who matched it the best, his second half of his soul.
And right now, Nyx intended to make sure Taliesin was bound tightly to him in any way he could. He intended to give her a night that would be impossible to forget, a night where she was treated as his mate, his everything. So, he slowly slid the edges of the dress up, exposing more and more bare legs as his fingertips brushes softly over skin. Once he reached her thighs, he savored the feeling of her body with a slowness, his nails dragging ever so softly on her skin. Leaving the dress covering her most precious parts, Nyx pressed his lips to Taliesin's knee, giving it the barest of kisses. Then higher, her lower thigh, her upper thigh, the very bottom of her wholly exposed skin. From so close, her scent made him struggle to maintain his thoughts.
"I want you to be the one who shows yourself to me. Open your legs and let me know what you want from me, Talie. No teasing, no clever words. Say exactly what you want and I will give it to you." the High Lord's self-control seemed to wane even as he spoke. "I know what I want. I want to devour you and leave you a quivering mess. That will be how we start, and it will be just the start. So, tell me and I'll reward you for being a good girl."
human
The way he allowed her to explore his mouth melted something inside her. Despite all their clashes of lips and tongue they hadn't indulged in almost sweet kisses like this. It didn't strike her as odd though, their desires were not something that had allowed them to do so. They came together with searing kisses and touches that left one another burning. Talie chuckled as he picked her up in his arms, her own wrapping around his neck. Their kissing didn't stop, and Taliesin was dimly aware of their moving.
Sat gently down on the bed, her arms slipped from around his neck, her hands slipping along his chest, her face upturned to him. Talie could see the way his eyes moved along her body, taking her and her sinful dress in. Not in any rush, she took pleasure in the way his eyes devoured her. Sifting as Nyx knelt on the floor before her. A hand reached forward, brushing a lock of hair away from his face, tucking it behind his ear, her finger tips gliding along his skin.
"It's good of you to notice," Taliesin smiled and she looked down at the dress."And I am glad it will stay with us, I am quite fond of the way you look at me in it."
The feelings Nyx was currently working through, Taliesin didn't have and in truth, it made her heart ache. The way she craved him, desired to be near him... The thought of someone else touching what was hers? Hers.. If only for the night. Her own thoughts were distracted by the feel of his hands at the hem of her gown, slowly pulling it up. Each inch exposing more of her legs. From her bare feet, to her ankles, calves, knees. Heart in her throat, she watched him as his nails bit into her thighs, the touch making her lips part, her breath come slightly faster.
His head bent, lips pressing to her knee. A smile curled along her lips and she brushed his hair from his face as his lips slowly trailed higher. His mouth had distracted her as Nyx had raised her dress higher, exposing the apex between her thighs. Her breathing hitched at his words and she met his eyes. They struck a chord in Taliesin, his words. She couldn't remember her past, anything before a week ago. Yet she knew a few things.
No other could tell her they would reward her for being a good girl and get the same response from her. She cared for Nyx, desired him and wanted things that she was almost sure she'd never wanted with another. A life, more than a tumble in the sheets. That something in his words told her he wanted more than that as well and it made her heart sing. Slowly her legs spread for him, exposing herself as she spoke.
"I want you to devour me, Nyx." Her voice was husky with her need, but his demands were met, she didn't tease him. She told him exactly what she wanted."I want my body to burn with need for you."Leaning towards him her lips brushed his ear, each following word curling along the shell of his ear."Then, and only then... I want you to take me. I want Velaris to know my pleasure at your hands.."
gpt
Each time Taliesin brushed his hair from his face, it made Nyx's heart ache. The physical desires they shared were certainly something special. While the High Lord had not been without partners over his centuries, he had never burned with desire like this before. But, the gentle moments, the soft kisses, the little touches, they meant just as much as sex could. It was tempting to simply lie together in bed, enjoy the comfort of each other's presence. However, the fires were raging far too strongly for that now.
The things Taliesin said caused a whole different ache for Nyx as she demanded to be devoured. It had been his intention, of course. Hearing the words simply made him all the more eager. Truly, this was it. An end to the constant torture they had been through simply because they wanted to 'behave'. Damn good behavior to the darkest depths. He needed this and had needed this from the first moment he had seen his Taliesin, his Talie.
As if to mark the finality of it, to let Taliesin know Nyx belonged to her for the night, and forever if she wanted it, he pulled the silver and black tunic over his head, his wings folding and flaring to accommodate the movement. Underneath, Nyx had the lean and powerful frame of a warrior, despite the fact that he relied on magic far more than Illyrian training. His arms and chest bore similar swirling and crossing lines, marking him as the inheritor of the Night Court. In the center, where the design was meant to meet, it instead seemed to switch into a whirlpool of black, his mark of pact with Cirrus. There were a collection of pale scars across his body, faded with age.
"I cannot explain in words how badly I have wanted you. But, I think I wanted to do this even more."
Nyx moved his head down slowly, his mouth eager to begin. First, he kissed her thigh, teasing the skin by barely brushing his lips across it. He moved slowly, each tiny touch bringing him closer to his prize. Then, inched away from her womanhood, he opened his mouth wide and bit the very peak of her inner thigh. He was not savage, but Nyx was also certainly not gentle. He suckled softly at the skin, only pulling away a few seconds later. A bruise and mark was already forming, a claim he laid on his lover.
Now, he was ready for begin to true fun. With gentle and guiding hands, he spread her legs wider, lifting her knees so that they could rest on his shoulders, her heels nestling nicely between his shoulder blades. This close he could enjoy the scent of her, the smell of her soap, her arousal, the lovely natural scent he could never place but that reminded him of cool nights after hot days. It made him ache to be inside of her. But, a High Lord kept his promises.
"I'm afraid, Talie, that I have become very hungry."
That was his last warning before he began. His lips moved down to kiss her, not spreading her lower lips yet as he teased her with the most gentle of caresses. His tongue soon joined his lips, rubbing against her slit without pushing inside just yet. It made him groan with pleasure to finally taste her body. He needed more, desperately.
Not beyond hesitation and fully controlled by lust, the tip of his tongue pressed between her folds and the taste of her wetness on his tongue caused a throbbing ache through his cock. Taliesin was delicious, Nyx eager to explore every inch of her. He moved the tip of his tongue from her entrance, letting it go inside of her just a little before moving it up to rub her clit.
The feeling of her clit was another sensation that drove him further in his hunger. So stiff, begging for attention now that it was no longer hidden. So, he began to alternate, circling his tongue on her clit before moving it lower and pushing it inside, seeing how deep he could get as he pressed his face fully against her, softly suckling when his mouth covered her womanhood completely. His fingers gripping her thighs showed his pure enjoyment as he tried to give her as much pleasure as possible.

There was no bond between them, but Talie couldn't help but wonder why her heart seemed to flutter like it did around Nyx. They hadn't known each other long and while it didn't feel like they had known each other forever, she felt.. at home around him. She teased him and he teased her back. He could make her breathless with a look or make her laugh without effort. All these things felt so incrediblyright. She seemed to recall things about mating bonds not clicking right away and she wondered if that was hopeful thinking on those who said such things or if sometimes, loving someone wasn't enough. She didn't love Nyx yet, but she was falling in love. There was no denying it.
He'd requested to know what she wanted and Taliesin had delivered. She had meant every word. Crystal blue eyes watched as he pulled his shirt up and over his head. Her eyes traced his skin. This was the first time Talie had seen Nyx without a shirt and he didn't disappoint. There would be time, later to explore those dark tattoos that traced his skin, be it with her mouth or fingers... the scars as well would be touched, kissed, questioned. Reaching forward she threaded her fingers in his hair for a moment, pushing it back from his face as he spoke to her. A brow rose in question and she felt Nyx's hair slip through her fingers.
A scrape of softness against the velvet of her inner thigh, fleeting and living her skin tingling in its wake. A trail of kisses lead to what Nyx had desired to do more than just having her. A cry left her, her head falling back as she felt him bite into her thigh, her hands curling in the blankets beneath her. The bite alone made her molten, but the pull of his mouth on her tender flesh made her moan. Each pull of his mouth was answered with a growing need inside Talie, a wildness that begged for release. There was no doubt in her mind what Nyx had just done, but she couldn't find it in herself to mind. No, Talie liked the claim Nyx had left on her skin.
Her legs spread further at the gentle push of his hands and she shifted along her bed as he drew her legs over his shoulders, heart racing. Taliesin watched him with hungry eyes, unable to take them off Nyx. His words made a smile curl on her lips, though that curl faltered as he brushed a kiss against her. Her hands flexed gently in her sheets as he teased her. Madness, Talie was almost sure that was Nyx's goal as he teased her. His breath curled along her skin with his groan and Taliesin echoed him with a whimper of need. She needed more, but she wouldn't rush Nyx.
Taliesin's breath left her as his tongue pressed past and dipped gently past her folds. Madness indeed. His tongue only slipped into her for a moment, before sweeping to her clit. The little pearl of nerves ached and the brush of his tongue made her groan, eyes closing."Nyx," His name was a breathy moan, a plea, a demand. It seemed as if it swayed him, or perhaps he was simply just ready to end the sweet torment he'd been putting her through. His promise to devour her coming true as his tongue sank into her fully. Her moans were soft for now. No one was home to hear how she moaned for Nyx, not that she would have cared at this point. The curl of his fingers as he gripped her thighs, the feel of his tongue, mouth...Her moans slowly grew, bouncing back from the three walls, vanishing into the night air.
Her head fell backwards, eyes closing."Cauldron,"Her fingers had curled into balls in her sheets.. It wasn't good enough... One hand released the blankets, finding his hair. She didn't hold his hair as tight as she had her blankets... yet, she clung to him as his tongue danced in her. Her breathing became uneven, airy as she whimpered and moaned for her High Lord. She might have squirmed were it not for the grip on her thighs, or rather, more than she was. Beneath him, Talie writhed in pleasure.

The sound of his name mixed with a breathy moan from Taliesin sent a shiver down Nyx's spine. She had seemed curious when he said that this was the part he had truly anticipated. This was exactly why. Completely wrapped in her scent, listening to her moan for him, all without having to focus on his own pleasure. It had always been a favorite for High Lord when he took a lover to tease them like this. But, with Taliesin, this alone would have been enough to satisfy his needs. Which was, of course, a lie.
Each noise she let out made him ache for her more. It was all he could do to keep from simply pushing her down and taking her that very moment was focus on how she responded to each of his little movement. It seemed she liked having his tongue inside her and he tried each time to push it further inside, curling it as he withdrew it from her. Soon, he was ravaging her with his tongue, his fingers gripping her thighs tighter and his hands pulling her in closer. While he had already pressed his face fully into her, he now buried his nose into her mound, completely engulfed by the task at hand.
Taliesin's fingers lacing into his hair as she invoked the Cauldron nearly broke him. He pulled away from her, breathing hard from a self-imposed lack of air. Panting, he licked her exposed clit eagerly, making small circles with the tip of his tongue as he caught his breath. Now approaching the edge of madness himself, Nyx throbbed with need while he continued to tease and pleasure her. Soon, he would break. It was time to go on the attack.
Pulling away from the taste of her womanhood reluctantly, Nyx looked up at Taliesin from between her thighs. His hands abandoned their grip and began to push the dress high, now high enough to pool under her breasts. With the thin fabric out of the way, he let his hands wander, running fingers over her hips and waist, caressing her thighs, even going underneath to grasp firm handfuls of her cute little ass. Meanwhile, his lips took to kissing her inner thigh.
"I want you to ask for me. Tell me again, exactly what you want. Tell me you are ready for me to take you. Or don't. I'll continue down here until you are quaking with pleasure or I lose my mind and fuck you, roughly."
Moving from his place at her thigh and returning to her womanhood, Nyx began a cruel cycle. First, he made little circles around her clit. Then, he moved the tip down her folds in order to once again dip deep into her pussy, his tongue curling to stroke her inner walls. Then, he withdrew it and moved back to her clit. The duration of each little attack was irregular, but the enthusiasm and lust Nyx showed was intense the entire time. His hands eventually found their place on her rear this time, lifting her hips so he had full control over her movements. Holding her against his mouth, Nyx feasted on Talie, groaning with animalistic satisfaction as her taste and scent overwhelmed him.

If there had been a time in the past where a lover had given her pleasure thusly, she couldn't recall. Perhaps it was hasty to say that none would have been as talented at the High Lord.. Yet, the thought drifted through her mind all the same. No one would ever compare. How could they? Her past be damned, Nyx was slowly shattering her mind with pleasure. Her plea to the Cauldron seemed to strike something within her lover and he pulled back, she could feel and hear his breath as it came hotly in pants along her skin. The curl of his tongue along her clit earned him a whimpering moan, his name on the tip of her tongue. "Nyx." His name trembled and another whimper left her.
Pulling back further, Talie slowly pushed herself up, gazing down her body at him. Panting softly herself, she smiled at him. Slowly her dress was inched up her torso, exposing her slender stomach to him. A shiver ran along her though as his hands brushed along her sides and a giggle slipped from her as she felt his hands slip beneath her, cupping her ass. The brush of Nyx's lips made her want to purr in pleasure at the touch.
His lips brushed against the silken skin of her inner thigh as he spoke, laying her options out before her. Both had their own appeal. If she told him she'd had enough of his clever tongue, he'd fill her and chase the sweetness of her ache away. It would satisfy her almost immediately. If she wasn't ready however, he'd continue to employ his clever tongue until one or both of them broke and the promise of a rough fucking."Choices, choices,"Taliesin mused, though she knew which she was likely to choose.
It seemed Nyx needed no answer, she'd taken too long and soon Talie found herself trapped in a sinful cycle of rapture. The tip of Nyx's tongue teased around her clit, making the bead ache. The pleasure somewhere between perfect and pain as it was abused by him. His tongue then sinking deep inside her, curling to brush that other edge of that bead. His hands slipped back to her ass and he held her to his mouth, allowing him to feast upon her without her being able to wiggle away, which had become an issue as his tongue toyed with her clit over and over. Taliesin had begun to dance away from that pleasure, knowing too much more and she'd shatter...
Now however, she couldn't escape her fate. His groans, tongue and mouth sent her tumbling over the edge, unable to help it any longer."Nyx.. I... caaaaaaa~"The cry of pleasure that left her sounded deafening to her ears, the words of warning lost in the moan as her world shattered and Talie forgot her own need to breathe as she rode the waves of saccharine delight brought on by her High Lord.Her Nyx. Panting, Talie whimpered softly. She'd found release, but it wouldn't last. She could feel the demand of her body, to be filled. Her own mind was treacherous as it wanted the same... To have Nyx buried between her thighs."Cauldron bless me.."
gpt
The room, and the hallway, filled with the sound of Taliesin's orgasmic satisfaction. While it seemed loud in her ears, Nyx could not think of a sweeter sound. He continued to gently tease her with his tongue, letting her ride the sensation the entire time. When her wriggling hips slowed their squirming, Nyx finally let her down onto the bed and released her.
As he rose from between her thighs, Nyx licked his lips with an animal satisfaction. Looking over her body, now almost completely exposed as she breathed heavily, his eyes found their way to her chest. The only part of her lovely little body he had yet to see. If he had stopped to consider his facial expression, he might have hesitated. His eyes were feral, ice shining in the night as he drank in every curve of his prey. Slowly, he moved from the floor to the bed, crawling like he was stalking his meal. He was over Talie now, his hair falling around his face as he met her eyes.
"I can do that whenever you like, Talie. Even on the dining room table, if you ask. But today, today I can't wait any longer. I need you."
He settled onto his knees, sitting up to let Taliesin see every bit of him, including the throbbing need his trousers seemed barely able to contain. He towered over her, straddling her with ease as his hands moved to waist of his pants. It was impossible to understand where all the control came from as he pulled them down painfully slow. Somewhere in his primal mind, he knew that certain things were better when they were slow.
He was revealed slowly, the trousers revealing his cock inch by inch. Nyx was well beyond aroused enough, his length almost looking bruised with how swollen it was with need. When the waist finally began to show the head of his cock, it sprung free. While his length matched the size of his tall form, it stood over Taliesin looking massive. It was the first time he was nude in front of her, yet he wanted nothing more than for her to look.
"I love the dress, but it needs to go. Now."
Nyx watched her remove the dress, his eyes devouring the shape of her, her breasts, the curves of her. Her beauty was something he wanted to spend time exploring properly. But, now was not time for that. Nyx moved from his position straddling her and wrapped his fingers around her ankles. A playful smirk on his face, he dragged Taliesin across the blankets to adjust her.
Having decided that he wanted to see her whole body during, Nyx gently guided Taliesin to her side. He lifted one leg and set her ankle on his shoulder. Her other leg he straddled, letting her rest comfortably on her side as he moved himself so that he was close enough to finally take her. It was almost strange to see the difference in their size, her tiny pale form dwarfed by the tanned warrior before her.
Wrapping his fingers around the base of his cock, he slowly guided it to her entrance. His mouth had assured she would be slick and ready, but as his head brushed her, the heat of her almost felt like it burned, yet at the same time it was absolute bliss. Unable to resist, he nudged her entrance, feeling her start to wrap around him. He hissed at the feeling, using the last of his restraint to not bury himself in her. He was massive compared to her and he found himself worrying about forcing his large cock into her small body.
"Are you ready for me, Talie? I don't think I can wait..."
human
Nyx seemed more than willing to help her through her orgasm, teasing her and milking her pleasure and moans with his efforts. Her rear found the bed and panting she looked down her body at him. The way his tongue trailed his lips made her moan again, the action enough to send a spark of need through her body. Cauldron, he was perfect, wasn't he? She couldn't help the thought, it felt true down to her very marrow. Perfect for her. The High Lord above her, crawling along her body was more beast than fae and Taliesin found she didn't mind the feral look in his eyes, no, it excited her. It spoke of his words before where he would take her when he lost his mind...
Raven hair fell around their faces, shielding them from the outside world."Is that so?"Talie breathed out, a slow smile curling on her lips."Never thought I would have a High Lord at my beck and call." The words were teasing, but the effect was ruined as desire and need filled her eyes at the thought."We should do it somewhere that is Cirrus' and Roshani's"Was the last joke to leave her lips, the idea exciting in it's own way, but it was drowned out by his final words.I need you.Her heart gave an odd thump at the words and something inside her, deep, almost hidden, sang at the words. The feeling vanished as Nyx settled to his knees, sitting above her.
She could see his desire clearly and her eyes flickered up to his eyes and then back down as he began to pull his pants down. Her eyes were drawn to his hands, the slow reveal. It was agonizing and Taliesin could feel her need slowly building once more, despite having just had a release.. a mind altering release. Nyx was huge, just before her eyes like he was, swollen with his need, one that she was more than ready to help him with. Licking her lips, her eyes flickered back up to him at the demand. The dress needed to go. Shifting, Taliesin wiggled, the dress slipping up and over her breasts, off her arms and from around her head. It was dropped to the side of her bed. Talie lay naked beneath him, her body pale, moonlight kissed. Her breasts were smaller on the smaller side, her nipples hard, arching upwards, a soft rosy pink.
A gasp left Taliesin and a giggle as he pulled her where he wanted her."Demanding,"she breathed, though, it was clear she had no issues with his demands, his desire or needs. She moved with him, her leg rising, her ankle resting on his shoulder. He was so big, not just his cock, his size period. She felt small, delicate beside him and those differences just excited her. Odd how the mind processed those details. Something told her that had Nyx been closer to her height or the other way around, it wouldn't have made a difference.
Lip parted, her eyes meeting his as he pushed himself against her dripping cunt. It wasalmostperfect, but it did nothing to ease the need. TaliesinneededNyx inside her. She'd give up her next breath just to feel him sheathed inside her, if that was what it took. A low growl left her, the sound feline in nature."Nyx,"his name was at the end of the growl, the demand more than clear."Don't wait, please, I need you."A whimper, at complete contrast with her growl."Please, Nyx... I will not break." She wasn't even sure if that was true, but if he shattered her, her end would be euphoric.
gpt
There was no way for Nyx to decide which he liked more. The way Taliesin growled his name, expressing her own animal lust, sent a shiver down his spine. The whimper that followed, the way she begged for him, made his cock throb against her needy pussy. It seemed that she was far past caring about what it meant to be with him. Taliesin had either decided she did not care about starting her new life as his lover when faced with their lust for one another, or she had decided that she felt even a fraction of what he felt, that she felt like he was important in her life. Either one was enough to make Nyx happy, to be desired one way or another by this woman who had come in and filled his life.
"I don't think I could wait any longer." he was breathing fast and heavy as he spoke, pushing himself forward. "I can barely control myself just touching you..."
With a gentle push forward, his huge cock overcame her resistance and entered, her pussy happy to wrap around him and allow him inside. Just that feeling, her impossibly tight insides squeezing the swollen head of his cock, made his knees weak for a moment. She was so wet, so tight that it felt like she was trying to force him to cum just for her. He needed more of this and whatever thin restraints had been holding him snapped in an instant.
Nyx groaned, deep and hungry for her as he pushed inside. Taliesin was so wet from her prior orgasm that he slid in halfway without effort, each inch of him throbbing with pleasure as she tightened more and more. The head of his cock brushed her cervix and he could only let out a moan at the feeling of filling her completely. A moment later, he had almost pulled completely out. With another thrust, he was mostly inside her, her hot entrance happy to embrace him deeper. Another and he had managed to bottom out, her little pussy perfectly accommodating him. Perfect, it seemed, for each other in every way.
Now, however, his limit was being pushed. He was not yet close to finishing, but his ability to remain gentle with her was gone. She had said she did not care if he broke her, so he would be more than willing to try. His next thrust was harder and deeper, the base of his cock completely buried inside her. He grabbed her extended leg at the thigh and began to eagerly grind himself inside her, his head rubbing against her back walls for a delicious sensation.
"Oh Cauldron, Talie you are the most incredible fae I have ever met..."
Nyx was thankful for his height, reaching down with his free hand to gently touch Taliesin's face, stroking her cheek. His moment of tenderness turned to need as he looked at her, those gorgeous eyes pulling him in and reigniting the need. He drifted his hand down to one of her breasts, his tan skin against her paleness. The lovely pink of her nipples was alluring, standing out and drawing him to pull on it gently. The difference in their size, the sharp contrast of pale and tan, the mismatched pair that they formed somehow made it all more exciting.
With a growl, his arousal overcame him again and he felt stopped his slow grind inside of her to continue his thrusting. His hand moved down from her nipple to grasp her hip, resting between her body and the bed, his other hand still tight on her thigh. His thrusts were less controlled now, his eyes drifting to the place where his cock filled her, the sight of his large length pushing inside of her little pussy making him feel even more feral. Soon, he was no thrusting hard enough to make her small breasts bounce alluringly.
"Cauldron, need doesn't describe how badly I had to have you."
human
In truth, Taliesin had never once considered what being with Nyx would mean. She had never once cared about the issues that might arise. It wasn't that she saw this as only a fling, or insignificant. There was no bond, but she couldn't imagine herself with anyone else. Not for any length of time. It was strange how confident she could be that no one else had ever made her feel this way; made her laugh, made her happy, made her crave their presence or their body. It didn't feel like something she wasn't sure of. In the week she'd been there, she'd learned that while Roshani and Cirrus were lovers, there was no bond, but it wasn't something either needed to know they belonged to one another. It was similar to how Talie felt about Nyx. There might be no bond, but she washis.
His words made her body ache, and she whimpered again,"Then why wait?"the demand was still not subtle. Talie had no desire to wait any longer than Nyx did. No matter the talent of his tongue, her body still burned for him. The first push made her moan, the feeling blissful and infuriating all at once. It feltsogood, yet wasn'tenough. Talie could feel her body as it adjusted to accommodate him. So small and he was so big. Had she not been so aroused, had Nyx not drawn an orgasm from her, there might have been a problem. Yet, while there was slight resistance, he slid into her without friction.
Her groan matched Nyx's as his restraint snapped and suddenly Talie found he'd buried half of his cock inside her. Nyx pushed further and she felt the moment he was sheathed inside her fully and for one utterly blissful moment, it was perfect. Taliesin's body then throbbed and she whimpered. It had felt so good, but she needed more... Nyx seemed to feel the same and his hips pulled back and Talie moaned, eyes closing for a moment and then the thrust back in. The sounds of her pleasure were not held back. She wasn't quite loud enough for the City of Dreamers to hear her, but she wouldn't have cared if they had. Nothing but Nyx and their pleasure, their needs mattered to Taliesin. Despite their size, they fit as if they'd been made for one another. She could feel each time he bottomed out in her.
He'd been gentle, Talie knew this somewhere in her pleasure soaked mind, yet when his next thrust came, faster rougher, she cried out. Her eyes opened and sapphire and glacial blues clashed as he ground himself in her, the movement making her mouth open, sweet little sounds slipping from her. Though the moment was intimate, Talie's lips curled,"Have you not met yourself, High Lord?"In her eyes, he was the same.. The hand the brushed her face was nuzzled against, her lips brushed his palm, she watched the tenderness in his eyes shift and the way he looked at her made Taliesin's heart race. His eyes slowly pulled from hers to her nipples. The curl of his fingers against the tender nub, the pull made her whimper, though there was no pain in her voice.
That moment faded and her animalistic lover swam back to the forefront and if pressed, Talie wouldn't have been able to pick which face of Nyx she preferred. She adored both, as they were both intrinsically Nyx. The thrusts now were harder, faster and her moans matched it as she felt her body bouncing with each hard thrust. She'd seen what had made his behavior alter further and she couldn't blame him. Watching as each inch of him vanished inside her only aroused her further. Her hands curled into her bedding, as if somehow it would keep her from splintering beneath his assault, his words. She understood what he meant... She had thought, one upon a time, the word had been an apt description. It was not.
Hunger, thirst,necessity. Talie was unsure without him, she could draw her next breath.
gpt
Talie was certainly being loud as Nyx began to earnestly thrust into her. Not that he minded. Her voice was all the encouragement he could ask for. Being called amazing did not hurt his ego either. But, in this moment, ego melted away. All he could think of was her, sprawled on his bed and writhing with pleasure. Nyx knew then that he would do anything in his power to bring her this pleasure again. To give her even more. It was not a simple lust for her beauty. It was love and the mating bond all mixed together with those blissful moans that escaped.
His breathing began to get ragged as his hips continued to attack Taliesin, to eagerly fill her and press the head of his cock against her deepest place. It was a blissful agony, the amount of sensation that overcame him when they were fully connected. The head of his cock was stimulated from every single angle, over stimulating it so much that he needed to move again or be overwhelmed. Then, when he pulled out to just the tip, the lack of sensation was equally maddening, his length begging to be back inside. His little fae was a paradox of pleasure the High Lord simply could not solve.
Overcome with need, Nyx felt a desire to do more, anything. So, he found the closest thing available. His mouth moved to kiss Taliesin's calf, alternating between gentle presses of his lips and harsh scraping of teeth on skin. Looking down from his position, Nyx once again drank in that petite and pale body. Romance had been in his mind when he first chose this position, wanting to see her face. But, he had decided it for another reason as well. They had adjusted to each other, her small pussy eagerly squeezing around him. He wanted to hear more of those gorgeous moans.
First, almost to warn Taliesin, he bit her calf softly. Then, his fingers tightened on her thigh and hip. The pace of his thrusts began to increase and the groan that came from deep down in his chest was more animal than fae. Soon, the sound of their bodies meeting began to join with their sounds of pleasure. Nyx, in his eagerness to feel more of Talie, moved her ankle from his shoulder and let her leg wrap around his hip. He leaned forward so they were able to look directly into each other's eyes.
"You feel so amazing, Talie. I can't... Much longer." his groans broke his sentence into pieces as the pleasure of meeting with his mate broke him.
The last of his restraint was taken by the oncoming release he could feel start to build. His thrusting became savage with hunger, certainly an apt word to replace need. He could not live without Taliesin and he would crave her constantly from this moment on. He thrust hard, the bed rocking slightly as he started to throb inside, lifting her just a bit off the mattress so that his thrusts went deeper, the head of his cock pressing hard against her. Then, like an eruption, he came.
"Cumming, Cauldron, Talie I'm cumming."
With one more thrust, this one delirious with the pleasure of orgasm, he began to fill her with his seed. Nyx could only helplessly rock his hips. What he had done himself the night before was nothing compared to the release he felt now. Each throb of his cock sent a thick spray of cum inside her wanting little cunt. The grinding milked each drop from inside and he felt a bit of contentment knowing that his mate was now completely full of him. Even as he finally pulled out, still hard for the moment, he continued to let out weaker shots of his seed, covering her pussy and inner thigh with both the mix of their love making and a fresh layer of his cum. Drained, he could only lay on the bed beside his Talie, his mate, and smile, their legs still tangled together.
"It has never... Ever... Been that good."
human
A mild thought played through her mind, had she been gagged, she would have been quieter, but only marginally. Talie doubted anything could damper her moans, her pleasure so thorough at Nyx's hands. Talie also saw no reason to hide the pleasure she received at his hands from him. Just like his own growls and grunts told her of his own, were like kindling to the flames that their bodies ignited with every thrust. Taliesin would have spent every waking moment in a tangle of limbs and pleasure, if such a thing were possible and she was more than half a mind to request such a thing fromherHigh Lord.
Their ragged breaths mingled with her moans and the sound of their bodies coming together wetly with each hard thrust. The tip of him buried deep inside her aching cunt with each thrust, pushing her closer and closer. Talie could feel that razor edge of bliss that promised her a shattering euphoria, should she not fight it. Yet, fought Talie did. She wasn't ready for the brink, to come alone. There was something primal about her desire to come tumbling over that edge with Nyx. The bond, hidden from her trembled with frustration. The pitch adamant that surrounded her mind held that bond from her firmly, but it was an effort to keep it from slipping into place. From giving the High Lord of the Night Court his mate.
The feel of the warmth of Nyx's mouth, drew her eyes along her own body and up, watching as his lips trailed along her skin. Teeth and lips played against her skin and the hunger flared in her eyes. While she felt no bond, she knew somehow that no one would ever replicate this feeling. A dark whisper slithered through her mind.Are you so sure? The seeds planted, the though, the poison vanished as if it never had been and she was awash in her pleasure once more.
The warnings of Nyx's impending release were not missed and slowly, the coil she'd tied around her pleasure loosened. Had she been a greedy fae, she might have been able to have more than one orgasm with Nyx's cock buried inside her pussy. His body shifted and Talie eagerly moved with him. From this position she could meet his thrusts, watch as his Sapphire eyes darkened, feel the warmth of his breath against her own heated skin as his shuddering words slipped from him. Her hands slipped from the bedding, left in shreds, to slither around his neck, her nails biting into his back, though Talie was careful of his wings.
The thrusts of his body rocked not only her, but her bed, the sturdy frame bucking beneath their frenzy. Her hips rose to meet his, nails biting into his back, drawing thin crescents of blood beneath them. The strength of his thrusts lifted her body from the mattress slightly and Talie all but shouted her pleasure as Nyx told her of his release."Yes,yes,yes,"The words a moaned mantra and it was as they fell over that edge as a pair that her nails raked along his back, towards the strong line of his shoulders.
Talie had been near shout before, but now she screamed her pleasure... the release she found with Nyx mind shattering. The power at the other end shuddered and fought to hold the wall around her mind. Each grind of his hips was felt as his seed spilled into her.
Panting she felt him pull from her, his seed still spilling from his cock, covering her pussy, her inner thigh and she gave a weak chuckle, eyes closing. Could she still breathe? Was she? Taliesin was unsure. Their legs intertwined, Talie didn't pull away. Rather, she curled into him, her cheek pressed against his damp chest, listening to the rapid tango of his heart beat. An arm wrapped around his waist and a low chuckle left her again.
"I don't think I have ever...felt such pleasure." Her words were spaced with soft pants of breath.
Sitting up some, she looked down at him, her damp, silvery hair falling to curtain one side of their faces."Stay the night?" There was an almost sweet shyness to her words."Please," her lips brushed his,"Nyx."
gpt
It felt like the room still echoed with their combined pleasure. Nyx found that his breathing had not quite returned to normal, and it caught in his chest as Taliesin pressed her body close. All of that pleasure and roughness, yet she still brought his world to a stop just by moving closer. The soft singing of pain in his shoulders, the feeling of her warmth close, the scent of his lover filling in senses. All of it was a reminder of the twisting and writhing of Taliesin as she climaxed for him. Little marks he was just as proud to bear as she was happy with his little bites.
The next question seemed silly, however. Her breath tickling him, their lips touching in the barest way, those beautiful eyes begging. All of it seemed wholly unnecessary, as the High Lord had never entertained the idea of leaving this bed or her side in the near future. But, to assure Taliesin understood that, Nyx sank his fingers into her hair, the sweat a pleasant reminder of their exercise. He moved the tiniest bit, completely closing the gap between their lips. Without shame, the High Lord moaned into the kiss, his tangled legs tightening to hold them even more tightly together. Just like that, the fire that had cooled in their post-release burst back to life inside him. With a solid effort, he pulled away lest they end up attacking each other again. With a soft bite to her bottom lip, he pulled away.
"I promise you I had not even considered leaving." his voice was a little harsh and ragged from the intense growling and groaning. "Nothing could force me to leave this bed."
While Taliesin had some unknown force suppressing her own bond, Nyx did not. His mating bond recognized its partner and begged for a match. It was this bond that decided being pressed together was simply not enough. So, with little effort required to move her featherlight body, Nyx playfully wrapped an arm around Taliesin's waist and rolled them both, placing the petite fae fully on top of him. This full contact, their bodies pressed together completely and the warmth of her skin washing over him, managed to quell that bond for the moment, to satisfy whatever the ancient magic of the mating bond desired. However, it caused the very concrete physical desires of his body to burn hot again.
With a small flex of magical power, the door slammed shut. Nyx moved his hands to Taliesin's shoulders and slowly worked his way down, massaging every little muscle her felt as he went. At the end of their little voyage, he cupped Taliesin's rear, his large hands covering it almost entirely as his fingers dug into the soft flesh. It was enough to bring a little lift back into his cock, which was starting to recover already. It would have been so easy to push his lover down his body and press the head against her messy entrance. Luckily, reason and affection were still in control.
"The night is still young, Talie. We can... Continue this, if you like. We can stay here in this bed and ravage each other until on of us finally cannot continue. Or, we can simply enjoy the company. I missed you terribly and just having you here is perfection."
Unable to resist, Nyx held Taliesin tight against him, his arms hugging her body close. His wings joined with his arms, wrapping them in a velvety cocoon as he simply enjoyed being surrounded by everything Taliesin. Once again, his mating bond tugged viciously, wanting to find the partner it knew was so close.

Hands curled into her hair and Nyx drew her in for a kiss, one she met eagerly. She felt his legs pull her closer sill, showing her without words he would not be leaving her. The nip to her lower lip made her moan and she shifted in place. It was his words though that nearly undid her.
"I promise you I had not even considered leaving. Nothing could force me to leave this bed."
The roughness of his voice didn't bother her in the slightest, she understood it and it made her smile. His voice sounded like that from growling at her and the memory of his growls made her shift against him, her body responding. Two orgasms down and she still craved him. Talie could feel that need, that desire for him. Comfortable as she had been, beyond the initial little growl at his daring to disturb her comfort, Taliesin found herself on top of Nyx, blanketing him.
Laying along his body was nice, but she shifted, sitting up. Talie straddled Nyx, hands resting on his chest lightly."You make tempting suggestions, High Lord."Her smile was almost sweet as she leaned forward, kissing him. She could feel every point they connected, the slender lines of their stomachs, though her nipples brushing against his chest was her favorite and she rubbed herself ever so lightly against him, the peeks hardening further. Her breath curled along his skin as she whispered against his lips,"But I seem to have you at my mercy Nyx.."Taliesin had more than half a mind to ride him, slow.. sweet drive them both to the edge of madness.
Pushing herself up, she considered her options. After a moment she rolled off him, a slender hand offered to him."Bathe with me, Nyx."It wasn't a request and she tugged him to sit and then from her bed. Naked, she led him towards her bathroom. A wave of her hand and the candles lit inside, the warm glow of the flames illuminating the room. Turning she leaned up, rising on her tiptoes, her mouth captured his, the kiss lingering before she pulled herself away.
The candlelight danced along her naked form, the orange glow highlighting a hip, the curved of a breast, slenderness of an arm or the swell of her ass. She moved gracefully, humming softly as she fiddled with the water, oils and bubbles added to the dark water that pooled in the massive tub. Her silver hair looked like living fire as the light played along it.
gpt
Nyx found himself aware of every little movement the two of them shared. Each little caress as their bodies touched. He could have stayed like this for hours, a subtle teasing combined with immense comfort. But then, just as he had settled and prepared to close his eyes, if only to relax in the moment, Taliesin was gone. Not that she had gone far. Looking up at her as she stood beside the bed, the offer was far too tempting to pass up.
The High Lord took her hand eagerly, following in her footsteps as she guided him to the bath. However, Nyx was admiring the shape of her body well before they were in the dom bathing chamber. The petite form before him made Nyx's heart pang with need. The need to throw his arms around her and lift her up to hold her close, to claim her again and again until no one would dare try to take his Talie.
When the pair did enter the room and the candles flared to life, it highlighted those most alluring features in a different way. The curves of her body fully on display, Nyx slowly let his eyes trace the lines of her body. Her ass was of particular Interest, mostly hidden during their earlier play. Cauldron, it was like someone had sculpted her to trap him. The roundness of her rear, the fullness exentuated by the shape of her hips. It called him like a siren song.
Unfortunately, Nyx was left watching as Taliesin tended the bath. If he interfered it would only add to the time before they could be in the warm water together. Talie drew his attention completely, but the centuries old fae would not act like a child. So, he enjoyed only with his eyes. The candles that made Talie look like she danced with the flames seemed to dislike the High Lord. He tanned skin and Illyrian wings ate the light, making him stand as night itself. So, the pair bided their time, the sun and night, somehow bound together.
That is, until large bath was filled. Then, the centuries old fae decided it was indeed time to do something childish. Moving with a practiced quiet, Nyx struck as Taliesin added the last of the oils to the bath. With both strong arms, he scooped Talie up bridal style. She as impossibly light and it was almost too easy for the warrior to simply let the force he used to lift her carry on and send Talie into the air. With a splash, Talie disappeared into the newly formed sea of bubbles, leaving a fae shaped opening for a moment before it filled in again.
Ever the clever High Lord, he moved to enter the bath even as he laughed loudly. It felt almost cruel to ruin this romantic atmosphere with such a childish prank, but somehow it seemed right. The joke, and likely the revenge that would come as soon as Taliesin returned to the surface, were a part of their love. Nyx felt that, had he not taken this chance, it would have been more of a betrayal than the act of throwing her had been. So, he sat quickly in the bath, doing his best to appear casual even as his lover emerged.
"Oh my. What happened to you? Talie, you really must be careful when you are near wet surfaces."
The fae was clearly biting his lip to keep his laughter at bay. He would apologize soon, passionately and repeatedly, but now was the time to smile.
human
It wasn't some sort of sixth sense that let Talie know Nyx's eyes were on her. Trailing along her curves, lingering where the warm balls of candlelight hit her. The few times she turned, she found his dark eyes focused on her and the feeling made her heart race. It was a pleasant feeling, the way her heart pitter pattered.There should be a mating bond, her mind whispered, but like before the thought slipped through her mental fingers like so much water. Taliesin wished she could have gotten their bath read curled into him, his large body shrouding her, his warmth seeping into her skin. Impractical as it would have been, she longed for it.
She didn't hear him, she hadn't expected him to move and at first when his arms slid around her Talie had wanted to purr at the touch, but as soon as his skin had embraced her own she found herself suspended for a moment mid air and then plummeting down into warm water. Her squeal was both of shock and outrage, the sound ringing through the bathroom seconds before she vanished beneath the warm water and bubbles. A vague Taliesin shaped hole shone on the surface and vanished.
Long moments passed but she didn't rise. The water's ripples slowed, ceased and beneath the foam of bubbles nothing moved. The surface of the water was pristine and white and from beneath, no bubbles surfaced. Talie was waiting, for the moment of panic, that bubble of what have I done, for him to come save her. Unknown to him Taliesin lay in wait, ready to take a mouth full of water when her High Lord rushed to her aid. Beneath the sweet smelling water, Talie bid her time as he pulled her from the water, concern etched on his face she spit her mouthful of water directly into his face, her small body trembling with laughter."Serves you right!"Her voice shook with the same laughter, her eyes shiny as water dripped down his handsome face.
gpt
For a few long moments, the High Lord enjoyed his loving little joke. Then, Taliesin did not surface and his laughter slowed a bit. Another moment and it stopped. He had expected the fiery woman to come back at him immediately. It was around that point he started to genuinely worry. Had she hit her head? The bath was not so shallow and he had not thrown her high. Then, his thoughts went back a week. Taliesin had washed up on the beach. Had she panicked and remembered that experience?
Nyx went from his perch on the edge of the bath to where the Taliesin-bubble-hole had been and quickly grasped in the water. Half covered in bubbles, he lifted his lover from the water and looked at her face, planning to check for signs of distress. What he received instead was a small blast of water to his face.
For a second, the only sound in the room was Taliesin's laughter. Nyx was a statue, motionless except to blink water away from his eyes. He wanted to throw Taliesin back into the water, to be angry at her. Truly he wanted it. Instead, he found himself laughing too. It had indeed been fair play after his own trick. So, he held her closer and moved to the shallower part of the bath, returning to his seat. This time, however, he had his Talie resting in his lap.
"I suppose that was what I deserved. But, you nearly made my heart stop for a moment there. I only just met you, Talie. Don't make me think I am going to lose you so soon."
His face now mostly done dripping, Nyx leaned in and caught Talie with another loving kiss. He pulled away a few moments later and smirked. It was hard to ignore the fact that a naked Taliesin was right in front of him. The humor slid from his face and he renewed the kiss, pressing his body against Taliesin the same way he had during those passionate meetings over the last week. He loved how small she was, how easily he could overwhelm her with just his presence. Judging by the hungry way Talie had looked at him before, she liked it as well.
"Talie, would you like to put your hands on me?" his lips brushed hers with their nearness. "To take those small hands and run them over every little bit of my body? Because I cannot stop thinking about doing that to you."
human
The surface of the water rippled and she knew Nyx was now moving. Hands plunged into water and it was then that Taliesin took in a mouthful of floral scented water and waited for him to pull her up. her body was limp in his arms as he dragged her from the bath and as she broke the surface of the water. Covered in bubbles, her skin was slick and shimmer in the candlelight. His face came closer to her own, the curl of his breath against her wet skin. it was then she attacked. her laughter was bright. She'd expected perhaps him to push her back into the water for her antics, though anger had not occurred to her. He neither threw her back or showed anger, joining in on the laughter. Pulled closer to the shallow end of the bath, cured in his lap. Her hands rose and brushed damp locks of hair back from his face, fingers threading through the hair at his temples.
"I am sorry, love."Talie evensounded contrite, her lips brushed against his jaw in apology. His words made her gaze up at him, her mind swirling. She felt strongly for him and it was clear he felt just as strongly for her. Talie wanted to question him, but they died in her throat, the shadowy fingers brushing them away. Whoever, whatever controlled her thoughts currently struggling against the purest form of magic, the bond. Had they known Taliesin would be Nyx's mate they might have killed her rather than send her to him.
His mouth caught hers and she leaned into the kiss hands slipping around his neck."Mmmn~ I could get used to this," a smile curled on her lips in echo to his smirk. She watched in the candlelight as his dark eyes sifted from humor to something carnal. Talie met him as he leaned in to kiss her again. Their bodies pressed together, as he all but consumed her. Nyx was not off his mark, she craved the way he seemed to devour her, his attentions... all of him.
Lips brushed her own as he spoke,"I cannot not think of any better way to spend my time right now." Nipping his lower lip she shifted her face, nuzzling her cheek against his, lips near his ear."The real question is who gets to indulge themselves first. How shall we decide, High Lord?"Her voice playful, she expected him to take the upper hand, be it by commanding her or simply taking what he wanted first. It was something she expected of him and with the way he'd crash into her, kiss her and leave her wanting? It fit. In truth the real question was could she behave herself? The answer was dubious as she leaned in and nipped at the length of his ear, her tongue brushing his skin. She might be able to behave just enough for their explorations, but she wouldn't allow either of them not to ache from this. It was almost a compulsion.
gpt
The apology was more than enough to make Nyx completely forget the small panic Talie had caused him. She was simply too adorable to be mad at. The way that she nipped at his lip and ear also helped immensely in improving his mood. It sent lines of fire through his system, awakening the lust that had only barely managed to cool. However, Taliesin seemed to have no issues with that as she pressed her body close to him, curling herself into his chest.
"You will have to get used to it, Talie. You are going to be spending plenty of time curled in my lap from now on." his voice was low and sensual, but carried more affection that physical need.
Nyx pressed his lips to Talie's jaw as she attacked his ear in earnest, letting her breath tickle it as she spoke. But, a promise of playful caressing would not disturb his calm this time. Their first time, while incredible and likely addicting, had cooled his passion enough that he would not throw himself at Taliesin as readily. He would most certainly throw himself at her and do so regularly, but now his head was clear enough to make games of their time together. Nyx was, despite the power and responsibility he had or even because of it, a fan of playing games with those closest to him. The rules would simply be different than the ones he usually played.
For possibly the first time since they met, Nyx relaxed himself completely in front of Taliesin. No raging passion compelling him to kiss her, no tight embraces just to keep her close a second longer. He simply... Relaxed. Leaning back against the edge of the bath and letting his arms spread wide and rest, he put the portion of his body above the bubbles on full display before Taliesin. His mural of tattoos, the carefully maintained warrior's body, even his wings were spread out behind. It was an obvious invitation for the touching he had suggested. However, subtly would not be the game today.
"Well then, I think you should tend to me first, love. After all, Iama High Lord. And since you are starting your new life here, I would also beyourHigh Lord." his voice had shifted a bit, louder and with a hint of arrogance.
"So, why don't we make it an order? Talie, I order you to sit in my lap and use those lovely little hands to tend to me. I do trust your judgment though. So, I give you permissions to touch me however you must to complete your duties." there was a heartbeat of hesitation before he finished.
"Even my wings."
human
A brow lifted as he commented that she should get used to it, a corner of her lips curling up."Well, while not what I was talking about, I could get used to that as well, if you insisted."She loved being in his lap, the closeness and the intimacy... In fact, Taliesin couldn't think of a single thing that she didn't enjoy when it came to Nyx. Sweet to utterly sinful, she craved it all.
His lips brushed her skin as her own trailed along his, she could feel the tension slip from his body and she smiled despite herself. It wasn't that she made him tense, no, far from it, but this was something she recognized as special. Almost always, he was on guard in some form or fashion, training, no doubt drilled into him by his father. But here and now, her High Lord was relaxed and at ease. Not even the usual sexual tension rode him and she could find no fault in that. It made something pleased uncurl in her to know that beyond the sexual aspect, he was relaxed around her.
The dark figure in her mind was pleased with the knowledge too.
Both brows rose and she gave a small growl at the command, though, there was no anger in the sound, more playful challenge. "And to think, not so long ago, I had you at my mercy High Lord." Her hands slid up his chest and she nipped at his chin, another little growl."Lucky I like this order."The first hint that she may not obey all his orders, but that time would come to pass later.
She paused looking up at him. Talie didn't quite understand the significance, but what she did know was that comment was not offered lightly. The understanding shone in her eyes, the flickering candlelight warming her face. His reaction when she'd touched them before had been thoroughly satisfying, Talie recalled and then and there she decided to leave his wings till last. Pressing herself into him, she reached for a cloth and soap, lathering the cloth well before starting to wash his chest. The cloth moved in small, tight circles along his skin and when she came to the first scar, her lips pressed to it."Tell me how this mark came to be?" Her eyes flickered to him and she smiled,"My High Lord." The title a sensual and loving caress of sound.
gpt
When Taliesin claimed to have him under her power earlier, Nyx could not resist a little smile. He enjoyed the time he spent at her mercy, a privilege he extended willingly to her and only her. But, the facts were simple. Nyx was the High Lord, larger by half, experienced in many ways, and able to carry the small fae with one arm. He had no intention of abusing the differences between them just yet, but knowing that he could turn their play in his favor was empowering. Especially when Talie seemed to want to playful counter his orders at every turn. It seemed she was not so against the idea of being made to obey when the occasion called for it.
"I think you will like all of the orders I give you, Talie. I could never ask you to do something I thought you would hate. Though I think you will choose to make trouble either way. You have a habit of doing what you wish to me and I must admit I enjoy it every time."
Her little growls of defiance made him smile even more. It was amazing how she managed to turn a rebellion against him into a request to do what he wanted. It seemed his lover was just as much a fan of playing games as the High Lord. A perfect companion, just as a mate was meant to be.
The attention that she applied to his body was enough to immediately make him lean his head back and close his eyes. Her body was so close, the water somehow making it more intimate, allowing him to feel the lack of space between them. So small and soft, Nyx found just her presence against him to be relaxing. Then, she began to gently wash him. Had Nyx not already been completely relaxed, this would have been what did it. He groaned at the feeling, his travel and dealings with the Summer Court melting from his body, leaving only Taliesin. The little, feather-light kiss on his scar was just another addition to his endless amazing sensations at her hand.
Nyx was a bit embarrassed that he had to lift his head and physically look at his scar to remember exactly what had caused it. Some of them were a century or two old and he could not recall without seeing exactly where. The scar in question, though, made him laugh.
"That... That is probably my oldest scar. When I was still a boy, I had to learn to fly properly before I could learn to fight. So my mother and father would take me to practice. That scar is because a silly young man was an arrogant fool."
While he began his story, he stroked Talie's hair. Her purring pronunciation of his title was certainly not missed. He was happy to return the affection physically to match her words.
"I, of course, thought that I had mastered flying by the end of the first day. So, desperately trying to impress them, I flew low over the tree tops. At least, that was the plan. I crashed into those trees harder than you could imagine. That scar is from a branch that decided it wanted to come with me as I fell. I'm lucky there is not a matching one on my back from it going all the way through. You should have seen my mother's face when she saw me. I couldn't tell if she was going to scream at me or cry. I think she did both."
human
Part of the charm of her boast was knowing that if it came down to it, Nyx could very easily overpower her. It wouldn't have been as appealing with any other male, Talie had a strong feeling it wouldn't at least. Something about his ease to manhandle her, move her around made her feel delicate. That was something she normally couldn't say she felt... at least, she didn't think so. Talie's body was soft, though the muscle on her didn't show as prominently as his did, Talie wasn't an Fae Lady in the sense that many others were.
"Is that so?" Her smile was coy and she tilted her head."What sort of orders will my High Lord give me?"A chuckle followed and she wrinkled her nose playfully."I would say I wouldn't, but... I will and we both know it."Talie's smile grew and she purred her next word,"Good."She liked the idea that Nyx didn't mind her playful bouts of defiance. There wasn't really a question she hoped as to if she'd follow his orders when it mattered. Taliesin enjoyed teasing him, being playful.. It was something that was never going to change.
Her lips had brushed a scar and the fact that he had to see what mark she kissed. It wasn't the only scar and something primal wanted to hurt anyone who had dared lay a mark on him. The story however, was charming and she shook her head."Always so sure of yourself?"Her lips trailed to another. She wanted to ask about every scar, yet she didn't as her fingers marked each, like constellations in the sky along his skin.
Talie found she missed the feeling of his fingers against her wet locks, the gentle caress had been sweet. Nyx in her eyes was a marvel. Playful, strong, gentle, quick of wit and she had no doubt he could be brutal and cunning as well. All wrapped into one sexy package."I think I would have done both too,"Taliesin admitted. She tried to picture her feelings if she had been fortunate enough to have a child, and then the fear and amusement that would have ensued at the story he'd told.
Slowly she washed his chest, neither in any rush and nothing would rush her slow and careful exploration of him.
gpt
Because of the way he was raised, the life his parents chose, Nyx had never really lived like royalty before. Yes, he had chosen to reside in the House of Wind instead of a smaller home. But, that had been more for his love of the city and its crowning jewel. This meant that the concept of being washed by someone else was foreign indeed. Even in some of her other experiences with sharing a bath, his partner at the time lacked the pure affection Talie showed him.
It was for this reason that he found himself completely relaxed, his eyes closing, as she ran her hands over his body. He could feel her marking each scar, like she was trying to memorize his body. It was likely the most sweet and gentle treatment he had received from a lover in his centuries of life. There was something so very soothing about it.
That said, Taliesin was a beautiful woman, the most beautiful as far as he was concerned. Her hands were currently roaming his body with a slow intensity that made him unable to think of anything but those small hands and the way they eagerly explored his body. It seemed that even a perfect state of relaxation could not suppress the effects those hands had on him.
"The way you keep touching me, Talie, is making me want to give you several choice orders. In a specific series that would end with you screaming out again."
As if to make sure she understood, his arms moved to wrap around her tiny frame again. He pulled her close, pressing her breasts to his chest and pulling her completely into his lap again. It was easy to move Taliesin in any situation for the High Lord, but in the bath like this it was almost like she floated.
In this position, there was a specific part of Nyx that had fully awakened and was completely recovered from their earlier fun. But, he had no intention of forcing her to do anything about it, no intention of breaking her slow and methodical exploration. Instead, he pressed his lips to her forehead and smirked before he spoke.
"As your High Lord, I order you to keep close while to finish my bath. And, since I am a benevolent and kind ruler, I think I should reciprocate all of this kind attention. I certainly will not be doing this because I cannot keep my hands from your body any longer."
With that, his hands moved down Taliesin's back, gently pressing at the muscles in an impromptu massage. As he held her close and explored the gently curving of her back, the feeling of her shoulder blades, even those two strange scars that he still wondered about, Nyx was content. He was certain that he would never leave this bath again if he did not have to.
human
A low chuckle left her as he commented about a few choice orders, her teeth scraped along a scar, teasing the mark and it's owner. "Is that so?"Her eyes flickered up and she giggled as he pulled her closer, her body pressed to his tightly. Between their bodies she could feel his cock, already hardening again. Lips pressed to her forehead and she closed her eyes, savoring the kiss."Mmm~"Slowly her eyes opened and she laughed again."Of course not, High Lord."Her voice told him she doubted his words greatly. There was very little doubt that he just wanted an excuse to keep touching her, which in turn, Talie found charming and frankly sweet. They both knew he needed no excuse though, at least.. she thought they did.
Nyx's hands moved down her back, pressing along her muscles, gently working out the knots he found. Moaning softly, her hands moved to his arms. Talie didn't complain that his orders would interfere with her bathing of him, not when she wanted to be just as close to him. There was not a small amount of appeal to lay cradled in his arms and lap, the warm water around their bodies and just soak; perhaps even nap a little.
Her hands slid around him and they brushed where his back and wings began. Her fingers trailed along the velvet of his wings, slowly sliding upward and out."I liked when you shrouded us in your wings.." Her voice was soft, as if this just between the lovers, though no other soul was in the house with them. Talie could feel as her cheeks burned at how it had made her feel. Safe, so very safe and cherished. The tips of her fingers were gentle as they played along his wings.
Talie didn't think she was one to covet what others had and she did not, but she found herself wishing she had wings, so she could fly with him. Oh, she knew Nyx would gladly cradle her in his arms and take her flying and it would be wondrous, yet it wouldn't be the same. Her heart ached softly at the thought and her fingers curled away from his wings. Hugging him to herself she laid her head on his shoulder.
Lashes fell and she inhaled his scent, memorized the way it felt in his arms. Her body pressed close to his."If I could save a memory to live forever, this would be it, I think."
gpt
This closeness was, in a way, just as fulfilling as their time in the bed had been. The warm and flowery water of the bath was a bonus, but the most important thing was the little fae curled up against him. It was strange to think that the creature who was happily lying in his arms had been a stranger on the beach a week ago. Truly, the mating bond worked quickly. Or they were simply right for one another. It was impossible to separate the magic from the compatibility.
Those menacing little hands seemed unable to wait for anything else, though. They slid up to his wings and when those finger tips began to stroke at the base, his whole body stiffened. It seemed that Talie did not quite understand how sensative they were. While she talked about being shrouded in his wings, Nyx tilted his head back and bit his lip, trying to maintain composure. When her fingers drifted out and up, he let out a soft groan, making him extend his wings as they instinctively begged for attention.
Then, the touch was gone and he found himself, breathing a little heavier. His head was filled with little ideas of childish mischief, ways of getting revenge for her sudden attack. But, Talie laid her head against his chest and cuddled in. Clearly, she did not realize exactly what she has done. But, with how content she looked curling against him, he could not bring himself to ruin this calm mood.
"Talie, my love, you don't need to memorize this moment. There is no need to keep it alive in your mind. You can have this whenever you want."
His arms tightened around her and he kissed her head once more, this time pausing to press his nose against her hair. He understood the desire, but it seemed like she was afraid this might fall apart at any moment. The mating bond still felt so one sided.
"If you like, we can take all our baths together. I promise I will never tire of your naked body pressed against me. We can share a bed at night, wake up next to one another. We can repeat everything tonight as often as we like, and do new things together just as often. I plan on keeping you beside me for a long time and I don't see that plan changing."
With another kiss on her head, he closed those wings she loved around them both. They were alone in the House, alone in the bath, and now they were alone in their own little world. He had no intention of letting anything take his Talie from him.
human
There was not a single thought in her mind as to how her gentle touching had affected him. The knowledge wouldn't stop her from touching them, no... but she might not have touched them so innocently. Taliesin had been fixated with the softness of Nyx's wings. How warm they'd been under the tips of her fingers, the texture of them and though they felt like crushed velvet and seemed thin to her touch, the strength hidden within them.
Tilting her chin upwards, Talie marked his breathing had shifted and she rubbed her cheek to his shoulder, wondering about the change. His words pushed her curiosity aside and she shifted some. His words curled inside her, each filling her to the brim with feelings she didn't quite understand. Unknown to her, the shadow in her mind was wrestling with the bond that bucked and twisted, demanding it's freedom.
Arms tightened around her and she closed her eyes as his lips brushed her skin. Nyx pressed his nose against her hair, inhaling her scent. Like with much about Talie, Nyx understood perfectly her fear. Though she doubted Nyx to be the kind to sample and discard her, there were fears that honestly, were ridiculous. Without the mating bond linked between them, Talie felt like her feelings were... too strong. That Nyx perhaps wouldn't want her as much as she desired him or as frequently. He'd done nothing to foster that fear of course, the shadow had.
Those fears, the work the shadow put up to put the doubt in her mind shattered beneath his words. Though the doubt was fractured, she felt a little uneasy, not knowing what Nyx did. His words though made her blood sing and made Taliesin feel.. home. Though the doubt couldn't be fully shaken. ."For now, perhaps,"Talie's voice was soft, nearly inaudible. Another kiss and suddenly she was surrounded by his wings. The darkness welcoming and warm. The candle light flickered behind them and she could see golden streaks through his wings that she couldn't normally see.
Beautiful. That is what his wings were. Curled into his chest, one arm around his waist the other hand reached out, the tips of her fingers following one such vein of gold, the touch feather light. This time Talie didn't miss how his body stiffened or the wing his wing vibrated beneath her fingers. Talie was starting to understand and perhaps that is what drew her to do what she did next. Gently she pulled herself from his arms, not quite out of the, but enough so she could lean forward.
Hands resting on his arm, her breasts pressed against the barrier holding her in place she strained to lean closer to his wing. He'd feel her breath first and then the warm, slickness of her tongue as she licked his wing.
gpt
Nyx heard the soft words, though he could not understand them. He could see Taliesin's body language, the way she would seen to tense at certain phrases. It might have been the bond itself, but the Illyrian even felt like he could sense them. But, he had no way of knowing how deep they went. For him, it simply seemed like the hesitation of someone moving quickly into something. The doubt that, like most things in life, it was too good to be true.
The High Lord had no way of knowing that there was something else. No way to know how the lack of bond ate at his future-mate. The shadows that clawed at her mind, at their bonds both magical and emotional, was a mystery to Taliesin herself. There was no way Nyx could know even a fraction of it. If he did, the one pulling those strings and blocking his bond would have to worry about the High Lord of the Night Court finding them and personally tearing them and whatever allies they had into pieces so small the Cauldron could not restore them.
All he could do was be there for her. To prove that her worries were nothing compared to how he felt. Nyx was certain that even without the bond, they would have ended up here. It might have taken time, a little more caution, and likely a little wine on Nyx's part, but they would have ended up in this bath, holding one another.
What he would not have been able to predict was another gentle stroke of his wings. Taliesin seemed to be interested in testing his self control in their little romantic bath. He tensed again, taking in a sharp breath through his nose. At the same time, his wing was unable to decide if it needed to flee from the over-stimulation or if it should stay because it was Taliesin's touch. It seemed, though, that Talie had realized exactly what her touch was doing to him. So, her next action was a little less surprising.
He watched with a little amusement as she gazed at his wings. Nyx did not even question when she stood a little and leaned toward his wing. Instead, he allowed himself to be distracted by the cute little butt that rose out of the water. After all, there had been times when his wings were touched during sex or foreplay, though he never openly encouraged it. Even when he felt the warm tickle of her breath, he expected nothing like the sensation to come.
Over three hundred years old, a High Lord, a trained Illyrian warrior. No one, absolutely no one, would ever lick his wing without asking. And no one had ever asked. Yet, Taliesin did it. The sensation went down his spine like lightning, a groan immediately escaping his lips. It was so strange, so new and intense, that his hips pushed up, nearly unseating Taliesin. He tolerated it as long as he could before the sensitivity of his wing and the strangeness of the sensation overwhelmed him.
With that, Nyx spread his wings and unlaced his arms from around Taliesin. He gently guided her off his lap as he stood, letting her slide into the water without splashing down. When he stood, he revealed that, despite his recent release, Taliesin had made him a raging monster of desire again. With all the authority of a lusting and slightly irritated High Lord, he sat on the edge of the bath, his legs spread a bit to let Talie look at what she had done to him, his cock now throbbing with need again.
"By the Cauldron, Talie. You have no idea what you just did to me. But, I think you will be coming over here to fix it. Won't you?"
human
There was little doubt in the shadow's mind, far across the ocean what would happen to her if the High Lord ever found out what was happening with his mate. Of all the blessed cauldron could have done, that could have befallen her plan, his fuckingmate? If they were unable to force Taliesin to kill Nyx, they would need to shatter her mind. More than once as she struggled against the mating bond that desired nothing more to complete the links of the chains that bound them, she had considered just shattering her mind. Riding herself of the trouble, the frustration. What held her back was the effort they had put into the little bitch. Her eyes moved to the pair ofwingspinned to her wall. They were beautiful, Taliesin's wings. The backs of them she knew were a vivid blue, but the side she saw were stripped blue and white.
The inhale through his nose had been what tipped her off and Talie couldn't help but wonder what his reaction would be if she licked them. Her rear slipped from the warmth of the water and she could feel his eyes move towards the new distraction. It gave her enough time to curl her tongue along his wing. Nyx didn't stop her as he felt the curl of her breath, so when her tongue touched his wing she hadn't known what to expect. The groan that sounded behind her made her only want to lick his wing again. Nyx's hips rose between their bodies and she could feel his hard cock pulse against her hip, near her rear. She'd been leaning in to lick his wing again when it unfurled from around her and she pouted, full on pouted over her shoulder at him.
Whatever Talie was going to say died in her throat. The look one his face as he guided her off his lap. Splashing into warm water she looked up at him. She'd felt him, but seeing him rock hard made her swallow. Shifting she placed herself between his legs and looked up at him."Tell me,"was the returned demand, as she moved closer still. Her lips brushed his knee and then his inner thigh. Talie knew what he wanted and a small part of her was working up to the task before her. This didn't seem to come as easily in her mind as the sex.
Oh, Talie understood the principle and she even seemed to know what to do more than that as well, but Nyx? Nyx was huge. At least when Talie put her own size against it. Leaning forward she tested the waters, licking slowly along the length of him, her eyes rolling upwards, watching her lover's face. The taste of him was clean, slightly floral due to the oils and a lingering taste of salt and something else, that Talie could only guess was herself. Curling her hand around him she leaned up further, tongue trailing towards the head of his cock. Talie licked along the edge of his tip, flicking the muscle against him.
If it wasn't clear, Taliesin loved teasing Nyx and it was not anything that she'd stop doing any time soon, if ever.

Nyx had no idea the power two simple words could have on him. He often gave orders, being the High Lord. For him, it was simply his job. But Taliesin, once again acting childish in an amazing sexy way, did not care about his position of power. What mattered was the relationship between the two. With those two simple words, she defined it perfectly. It was a demand, an order all on its own, and yet it was also a granting of permission. He would tell her, make her, and she would love every second of it.
He watched as she moved into position, her face right before his throbbing cock. It was, all on its own, exciting to see how small and delicate she looked when compared to even this part of him. His eyes were burning with desire as he watched that small, pink tongue extend and run along his shaft. Their eyes met as she did so, Nyx biting his lip and letting out a soft groan. Talie worked her way high up and her lover watched intently, loving how she looked as she pleasured him. Then, that wicked little flick of the tongue caught him off guard. He closed his eyes and exhaled harshly. It was time to tell her.
Nyx quickly took her chin in his hand, making sure she kept eye contact.
"You are a naughty little tease, Talie. You are driving me crazy. So, you will be taking my cock into your mouth and pleasing me. I know you can do it. You can be a good girl for me. Now,do it."
With that, his hand moved from her chin to the back of her head, his fingers burying themselves in her hair. With a gentle pressure, he guided her to where he wanted her. Soon, her face was pressed against his cock, the large member looking no smaller now than it had moments before. He could feel the throbbing against her cheek, her soft skin already feeling so good.
"Open up. Tongue out."
Once she obeyed, Nyx moved to guide her. Slowly, he led her to drag her tongue along him, until she reached the top. Then, with his other hand, he grabbed his length at halfway and began to tap the head against her tongue, groaning at the sensation. Beads of precum began to drip from him as he watched the obscene game being played out.
Without releasing her hair, he guided the head of his cock to her open mouth, almost losing his self control when he saw the way it completely filled her tiny mouth. His hips moved from one side, his hand applying that same gentle but persistent pressure. A moment later, the first quarter of his cock was in her mouth, the head swelling and throbbing from the feeling of her hot mouth.
"Now, suck my cock, Talie."
human
Her demand for guidance had been from desire to see him order her around. There was something about it not being a command from her High Lord, but something far more private excited her. Talie had been thinking about it as she licked along the length of him, her eyes holding his. His reaction wasthoroughly pleasing to her. The way he bit his lip, the little groan.. it had raised goosebumps along her skin. Talie playfully teased him, pushing him to the point that he'dwant to command her.
Her tongue paused on the tip of him as his fingers caught her chin and slowly, the pink muscle vanished into her mouth. Taliesin didn't dare look away from Nyx and his fingers made it clear it wouldn't be allowed... It made her want totry though. For a moment, just a moment, she tried to pull her chin tree, the little tug of war of their wills exciting for her and TalieletNyx win.. Though that was only to comfort herself. They both knew he wouldn't allow her to 'win' this struggle.
A smirk curled along her lips as he called her a tease. That cat with a cream looked only intensified as he told her that she was driving him crazy. It was when he told her what she would be doing that her eyes widened. The faith in her abilities, the good girl comment both making her want to purr and hiss.. The complicated feelings vanished though as his hand shifted from her chin to the back of her head.
Talie could feel as his fingers curled in her locks, pulling her closer to his cock. She could have fought him, but she didn't want to.. There was something primal in her answering his demands. When the tip of him brushed against her cheek, her mouth opened obediently at his command, tongue out. Seemed being his good girl hand won out.
He moved her according to his desires and it made Taliesin's body ache familiarly. Her tongue was dragged up the length of him before he adjusted himself. The bouncing of the head of his cock made her moan softly, her eyes still lifted upwards to him. She tasted that first bead, the saltiness on her tongue. The taste wasNyx, through and through and Taliesin knew she'd remember it for as long as she lived.
He used her hair as a handle, and she felt the tip of him slip into her mouth. He was so large and Talie was forced to open her mouth further. Much like when he'd been between her thighs, he filled her mouth completely. He pushed his cock further into her willing and eager mouth before commanding her again. Moaning, her eyes fell closed and she slowly pushed her head further down his cock, feeling the tightness of his hand in her hair as she pulled against it. She went until she could take no more, pulling back slowly.
Another moan vibrated down his shaft and slowly Talie found a rhythm, her head rising and falling. She could feel the thick length of him in her mouth as her head bobbed. It was clear she was enjoying herself, and she pulled back far enough for him to pop from her mouth. Licking along his shaft she met his gaze before taking him in her mouth once more.
gpt
There were so many ways to take pleasure in such an intimate moment with his lover. Nyx, of course, loved the feeling of her tongue running along his shaft, the soft impact as he teased her. It was incredible. But, the most incredible part was the way it made Talie moan for him. It seemed that hundreds of years had done little to prepare the High Lord for the arrival of such an woman. By the time he had managed to get just a portion of himself into her mouth, his legs were weak with the pleasure.
Watching Taliesin wrap her mouth around him was obscene in the best way. As she struggled to even manage his girth, it made a deeply male part of him pleased to watch her struggle. He wished nothing bad upon her for it. It was just the idea of her being so small that she could barely fit him. That she was so full of him. He knew she could feel him throbbing endlessly in her mouth.
Taliesin, though, seemed eager to take the challenge. Without any prompting from Nyx himself, she started to move further down his length, forcing him to move his hand so that her hair was not pulled. The vibration of her moans around his large cock made Nnyc throw his head back and groan. His fingers tightened in her hair and he nearly pushed her deeper, wanting so badly to feel more. His lover made sure he had nothing to worry about.
With an obvious effort, Talie took the first half of his cock into her mouth. The warmth and wetness of her mouth made him swell even more with the intensity. If he had not just so recently been making love to Talie, Nyx would have said this was the greatest pleasure of his life. Eventually, though, she stopped her way down his cock. Just over half was inside her mouth and he could feel himself close to her throat. For a moment he thought Talie was going to push further. Instead, she started to bob eagerly for him.
It was with this eager sucking that Nyx found his strength again. He groaned the same deep and needy groan from the bedroom, lifting himself off the side of the bath just slightly with this free hand. The new angle had him pointed straight into her mouth, making her task easier as she continued her work. Her steady rhythm had Nyx panting and wriggling a little, pushing his head deeper into her mouth on occasion, though only for a moment to avoid choking her.
What spelled the end of their little order game was when Talie pulled away and licked him so sensually. Her eyes met his own again and he could tell she truly was enjoying it. So, when her mouth was around him again, he moved to fully stand, making sure his cock stayed fully in her mouth.
"Talie, my love... I want you to pleasure yourself for me. I want to watch you while I finish..."
With that Nyx moved his second hand to Talie's hair. He was not completely sure if she was ready, but his desire boiled over and he sensed she might enjoy a little more roughness. So, with his height making his cock point straight down her throat, Nyx began to thrust back and forth in her mouth. He did not go deeper than she had taken him at first, barely pushing half of himself between her lips. The noise he made as he watched her reaction was pure animal lust. In that moment, the High Lord lost control.
His fingers tightened more, pushing Talie forward as his thrust went to meet her. Eventually, he was simply using her mouth, fucking her face with a feverish need. But still, he kept himself from pushing too deep. Until he was ready to cum. As the surge of pleasure took over and his thrusts became more ragged, Nyx simply held Taliesin and thrust into her open mouth. He worked deeper and deeper, the swollen head eventually entering her throat. Finally, he let out a long groan and pushed hard, the majority of his length entering her mouth as he spilled another massive torrent of his seed. It went immediately down Talie's throat as Nyx groaned helplessly, his orgasm intense.
human
It was hard with her past a mystery for Talie to know had she ever done something like this before. It felt... good and even as she struggled with Nyx's size, she enjoyed the act itself. One might have thought it would have perhaps felt familiar, even if she couldn't place the memory or remember the act. Yet, it didn't. Taliesin might have been upset, but only a small part. More than upset, Talie was happy. It felt like her first time. Something precious between them. Something justhis... Justtheirs.
Memory or not, Taliesin took to it like a fish to water, embracing the demands made upon her by her lover. The words echoing in her mind,good girl. As her head bobbed, she felt Nyx shift, making the angle easier for her and Taliesin made a sound in her throat, like a purr of a sort, in appreciation. Her eyes had opened at some point and she eagerly watched the effects of her acts as they wrought themselves in Nyx. The quickness of his breath, the way he squirmed ever so slightly in pleasure. It echoed her own pleasure not so long ago on the bed, as his tongue attacked her.
Even the extra little push of his hips, pushing himself deeper into her mouth aroused her. When she slowly pulled back, the sound of his cock leaving her mouth audible. Spit and precum mixed together and spider-like strands trailed from the tip of him to her mouth. The tension in the line snapped and the ends swung either way as she leaned into to lick up his cock. Taking a moment to breath without the fullness of him in her mouth. Eyes rose to meet him and Talie's mouth slipped over him again.
Nyx's shifting made her pause slightly, a question in her eyes, her mouth full of him.
"Talie, my love... I want you to pleasure yourself for me. I want to watch you while I finish..."
Hands slid to either side of her head, and without warning Nyx began to thrust himself in and out of her mouth and her eyes rolled upwards once more. The use of her mouth for his pleasure did something to the small fae. He'd made a request and she moved to obey him, even as blush, sweet, bright pinkness, filled her cheeks. Slightly embarrassed on both accounts. One hand moved between her legs, the other to a breast, fingers toying with her nipple and below the water, he could see her fingers thrusting in and out of herself.
Her moans came faster now, the blush deepening. The sight seemed to only arouse Nyx further and his thrust quickly became harder, faster and erratic as he lost himself in his pleasure. Being used like this sent Talie over the edge and she cried out, her mouth opening a faction further just as his cock pushed past that tender gag reflex, Her throat convulsing around him as his seed filled her belly. Her one fingers worded faster and as Nyx groaned above her, Talie came again, still choking around his cock.
gpt
It seemed that Talie not only tolerated his use of her mouth. She seemed to honestly enjoy it. Even as he got rougher, her moans were genuine and her eyes showed a lustful pleasure. When she began to pleasure herself and quickly reached the edge of climax, that had been what pushed Nyx over the edge. So, he had cum down her throat, expecting her to enjoy it despite the fact that he could feel her throat trying to reject him. As he filled her with his seed again, she came intensely.
Nyx, though, was not done. He wanted to ride out his orgasm, thrusting back and forth even as smaller shots of cum alternated between running down her throat and covering her tongue. He continued until his cock began to soften in her mouth and the waves of pleasure finally became just a gentle ripple. Finally, with his energy and lust both spent fully inside of Talie, he sank down to sit on the edge of the bath, his length making another audible pop as it came free.
He looked at the mess on Talie, thick strands of saliva running down her chin, the glistening of tears in her eyes from his punishing her gag reflex. There was, perhaps, a little regret that he had gotten so rough with her, but the moans she let out during her own climax were enough to push that away. All that was left was a sense of immense satisfaction. So, he slid from the edge of the bath and into the water, occupying the narrow space between the wall and Talie so that they were essentially pressed together again.
"My Talie is quite the talented and naughty girl."
His thumb moved to her bottom lip, wiping away the remnants of her incredible job. Then, without hesitation, he kissed her gently, not wanting to be rough with her mouth so soon again. When he pulled away, the smile on his face was soft and sweet, his own eyes looking like they might be ready to release some tears. Together, they were just so perfect and he wanted to say it, to say he knew she was his mate. But, he had promised himself that he would not force the bond on her, that he would let it come naturally. Instead, he whispered in her ear.
"That was amazing, Talie. I think we need to finish our bath soon. You have managed to drain the last of my energy with that. Now, all I desire is you wrap my wings around you and sleep a very needed sleep."
He punctuated his statement with a soft kiss on her ear and a nuzzling against her neck.
human
He rode out her orgasm with her, his seed slipping down her throat, coating her tongue until her fingers slipped from between her thighs and he'd softened in her mouth. Still there was a small pop as he sat and his cock slipped from her mouth. Taliesin felt languid, as she looked up at him. Her face was a mess of seed and spit, tears had joined them at some point and still leaked slowly down her cheeks from the abuse her mouth and throat had received at his hands..
Despite her face, the tears, Talie had enjoyed herself. She might have even smiled at him if her jaw hadn't ached so sweetly. There had been nothing between her and the cool marble wall of the tub, and suddenly she found warmth in the form of Nyx's body. The slide of skin against skin, her breasts pressed firmly to his chest. She made a sound in her throat, a purr of sound that indicated contentment with his closeness.
The praise made her chuckle, the sound sleepy."Am I?" Lashes fell as his thumb moved to her lower lip, she felt him brush it free from their body fluids. A soft, sweet moan left her at the gentleness of his kiss and she met his kiss, though for once she didn't deepen, her hunger at least for the moment satiated. As Nyx pulled back, lashes rose and her bright, glacial blue eyes met his. The look on his face made her heart ache, the feeling not unwelcome.. it only proved how she felt about Nyx. Shifting she rose to her knees and brushed a soft kiss over his left eye, kissing the shimmering tears away and then his right. Rubbing her nose to his she lowered back into the warm water, though this time she curled into his body.
"Mmmn~"She had closed her eyes again. Talie was sleepy now too, but she wasn't about to let Nyx cheat her."I was promised to be washed too, High Lord."Her hand waved gently over the water and the warmth that had seeped from the water came back. "Then and only then will we sleep." His mouth played along the graceful length of her ear and then her neck.
"If I was a kitten.. I do think I would purr."
In her mind's eye she could see the promise he made about their sleep and more than wanting to be cleaned herself.. she wanted that. Safe.. in his arms.
She didn't sleep well, though she tried to hide it. Did Nyx know? Did he hear the whimpers and cries that left her in the night? Where the monsters she couldn't remember plagued her nightmares, the fragile shell of her mind constantly under attack, making sure all the careful glass pieces of her mind never truly came back.. All the hard work of Taliesin would never see the light of day.
After all.. A puppet needed only a master.. What use would it have of memories and thoughts unless supplied by it's puppeteer?
gpt
Nyx grinned a bit childishly at her question of his compliment. She truly was the best thing to ever happen to him.
"You most definitely are. I loved, well, that you enjoyed that too."
If Talie was demanding that she be washed before they finished, he was more than happy to comply. His hand found the cloth and he began the slow process of gently running his hands over every curve of her body. It was not that Nyx desired anything more physical at the moment. No, Talie had truly spent the last of his energy for the evening. It was just that she was so amazingly beautiful. In the end, he had her facing away from him, running the cloth up and down her spine more than was strictly necessary only to watch as she arched and, despite what she seemed to think, purred for him.
"Having my hands on you like this makes me want to purr as well..."
After taking his time finishing off their bath, Nyx took little time getting out of it. He scooped Talie in his arms again, enjoying the feeling of her tiny body against his chest, the warmth of her skin. If he had not seen it in his parents as he grew up, Nyx would most definitely believe that the mating bond was created by the Cauldron to help a perfect match find one another. He could not imagine being happier with anyone than he was with Talie every moment they spent together.
It was with a bit of childish regret that he finally put his lover down so that the two could dry off. But, even then, Nyx kept his eyes on her the whole time. He even stopped her from wrapping a towel around herself by stealing another gentle kiss. If he had his choice, this would be how every day would end.
"No need for that, my love. I will keep you plenty warm tonight."
Taking her hand, Nyx led Talie back to her bed. It was, to put it mildly, a mess. All he could manage was a half embarrassed chuckle as he called out to the House to change the sheets. After all, Talie had managed to put her nails through them in the midst of their love making. He would, perhaps, need to buy her tougher sheets. Though, on second thought, he would likely need them for his own chambers as well. For now, he needed nothing more than to fall asleep with Taliesin.
As he made his way into the bed, he was happy to find that Talie needed no invitation. Almost immediately, she was with him, her arms thrown around him in a tight embrace. It took only a few moments of playful wriggling to move get to his chest, where he pulled the blankets up to her chin to cover them both. Finally, his wings spread wide and covered them both, the candles on the walls simultaneously snuffing out at the smallest press of his magic. They were left with only the pale light of the city and stars, once again illuminating the membranes of his wings. At the apex of his wings, the painting to mimic the night sky was barely visible. Surrounded by stars and only able to focus on his Taliesin, his mate, Nyx fell asleep faster that night than he ever had before.

Blushing Talie fought the urge to hide her face as he brought up her own enjoyment. It wasn't a lie and she wouldn't deny it, her shy smile was almost pleased. She'd loved it.. yet she couldn't help that her own enjoyment of being used like that had turned her on. Biting her lower lip she'd rising in the water, her lips brushing his chin, teeth scraping against his jaw playfully."I did,"He already knew, but she wanted to say it, to confirm it beyond a shadow of a doubt. She wanted Nyx to know...
Her bath at his hands was gentle, endearing. Carefully he scrubbed her clean.. She didn't notice the sound slipping from her until Nyx pointed it out with his coy remark and she blushed."Less talking, more scrubbing," The words punctuated by a splash of water in his direction. So he could make her purr like a kitten... It made her smile, a big, silly smile as he finished washing her. She felt spotless, no inch of her skin untouched by her lover.
Watching him rise from the water a small flicker of lust stirred, but Taliesin was too tired to act on it, instead, she admired the view. Pulled into his arms, she chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck, her head falling to his shoulder. Fingers absently slid into his damp hair, twirling a lock around her fingers. Talie was struck by just how right this felt... being in his arms after a bath, preceded by a night of making loved and fucking.
Set on her feet, they both showed reluctance to part. It was necessary though. Buffing her skin dry, she made to wrap the towel around herself, when Nyx stopped her. Chuckling she let the towel drop to the floor. The house whisked it away as she slipped her hand into his. Looking at the state of her bed, she blushed, curling into his body, her head laying on his chest as the house took care of the request. Talie hadn't thought about it at the time, but she could dimly remember the feel of them giving way underneath her fingers. "I blame you," laughter in her voice.
He laid down on the fresh sheets and she climbed into bed with him. She'd asked him to stay after all. Arms around him, the pair wiggled and moved until she was draped along his side. head on his chest, an arm across his waist and a leg thrown over his own. The blankets were pulled over their bodies and she sigh softly, eyes closing. She felt his wings shroud them, her eyes opening sleepily, seeing them cocooning them in warmth and darkness. Nuzzling her cheek to his chest, it was his breathing and heartbeat that lulled her to sleep. Safe, warm.
For the first night since he found her, Talie didn't wake in a cold sweat.. She slept through the night.
Morning light filtered into the room, the beams of sunlight warming her exposed skin. At some point his wings had fallen away and they now lay draped over her bed. Sitting up she gazed down at him. Handsome, was a word for him.. but Devastatingly handsome fit better. The night before flashed back through her mind and it took her moments to be aroused again. Gently she said his name.. He didn't stir..
A plan slowly hatched and she gently stroked him beneath the blankets.. Once he was hard, she crawled over Nyx. Wouldn't this be a pleasant way to wake? Talie could find no fault in her logic as she slowly slid down his cock. She wasn't as wet and it took her a little bit longer to takeall of him.. But once he was sheathed inside her she bit her lower lip, slowly rocking her hips. Blue eyes on him as she rode him, watching his face. Talie took her time, enjoying the slow build of pleasure, never once altering her agonizingly slow pace.
Hands in her hair, Taliesin rode him, a soft moan leaving her lips as she lost herself in her pleasure.

If there was one major flaw that Nyx had, it was that he was an incredibly deep sleeper. On most days, this was irrelevant to the comings and goings of the court. In fact, only Roshani had anything to say in the matter. She insisted it was a liability to have a ruler who would not wake unless jostled out of his sleep. But, with Talie added to his regular sleep, Nyx was dead to the world. It was the most comfortable he had been in his centuries of memory. Because of this, the High Lord did not even stir as Talie because to tease him beneath the blanket. He did, of course, rise to her teasing as he slept.
It was not until he was fully inside of his lover that he stirred, partly from the pleasure of being completely surrounded by her tight pussy, and partly from the feeling of her sitting fully on top of him. As he began to open his eyes and realize what was happening, Taliesin had already begun to ride him, sending a confusing mess of signals to his brain. He was still a bit groggy, but the intensity of the sensation her slow movement were causing wrenched a groan from deep in his chest.
"Talie, what are you...?"
Nyx groaned again as she continued to ride, finally taking in the full sight of her, completely nude astride him. It was not just the first impression that rocked him to the core. It was the way she moved, letting her breasts bounce softly while she ran her fingers through her hair. It was beautiful. But, it also brought to him the memories on the night before. The sounds she had made as he used her mouth and the pleasure he could cause her.
"This is a hell of a way to wake me, Talie."
With that, his mind was beginning to work at full power and he could feel how agonizingly slow she was moving. It was part paradise and part torture. The way her hips moved, her whole body moved, was like living art. A part of him was content to simply watch. That part was quickly voted down. Instead, he moved his hands to either knee, slowly running them up to her thighs as he throbbed inside of her. It was time to take to make her morning a little more intense.
"I hope you are ready, love."
As Talie moved her hips down to meet his, Nyx pushed himself up to meet her. The last quarter of his cock slammed into her with a new intensity and he groaned at both the feeling and the sight of impact rolling through Talie. He could not dream of unseating her from atop him, but neither could he passively be used when he could instead return the pleasure.
"If you keep riding me like that, you are going to have to start your day completely full of my cum. Is that what you want?"
The room once again filled with the sound of their meeting bodies as he continued to meet her drops with his upward thrusts. His cock, so perfectly sized for her tiny body, filled every bit of her and pressed against her deepest walls every time she sat herself down on him. Somewhere in his mind, as he began to wake more and wander into depraved thought, he wondered where else she would like to ride him like this.
human
Watching Nyx slowly waken beneath her as she rode him had been pleasing indeed, but nothing compared to the slightly bemused question that had slipped from his lips, not even finishing before he groaned. Looking down at him, as she rocked her hips had made her feel like a queen.. How could she not? With a throne like Nyx.. Talie felt.. beautiful too, breasts bouncing slightly. It was only encouraged by the way he looked up at her. Taliesin found she liked the way her body moved while she rode Nyx. A throaty purr left her , the sound carrying as she rocked.
"Mmmn, is it?" Her tone was playful as she looked down at him."I know I am enjoying myself."
Hands trailed along the smoothness of her legs, up her knees and higher up her thighs. A brow had arched in question, though the answer came without her even asking. Her slow, deliberate pace ruined as he thrust up into her. Her eyes widened and her head fell back as she moaned. Where her breasts had bounced lightly before, they moved with the force of his thrust. Where Nyx had already been sheathed fully into her, he managed to get deeper still with his thrust, or at least hefelt deeper.
Shifting above him she leaned back slightly, changing the angle, so each thrust went as deep as possible, each thrust drawing a ragged moan from her."You say that like it wasn't my intention, High Lord."His title purred out, her voice breathy. her small body arched, hands resting on his thighs.
Had she been like this before? The thought whispered through her mind... She'd known she'd like it, yet.. Talie doubted she'd ever fail to enjoy her time with Nyx. It was more than just his skill in the bedroom, though that couldn't be denied. It was the way he looked at her, the way he touched her.. Even the commands he gave that made her heart race.

Beautiful was certainly a perfect word to describe Talie as she rode him. The way her back arched, the sight of her hands running through her hair, even the pose she took as she leaned back and allowed him to increase the tempo of their fucking. All of it was without compare in Nyx's mind. The rolling of her hips was especially cruel, dragging his thick length against her inner walls as he pulled back and she lifted. If this was what it meant to have a mate, to constantly find small and large things to love, he was happy. More than happy.
Her teasing, the way she spoke his title, that little purr of her voice when she really wanted him. It had to be some sort of enchantment, the way it wormed into Nyx's mind. Every time she purred at him, a wicked and lustful little cat, it egged the High Lord on, drove him further over the edge of lust. So, he sat up on his hands, allowing her a brief moment of control again.
"If you want that, little kitten, I can't be the one to deny you."
With that, he sat up fully, for once getting to experience looking up at Taliesin. His hands moved from supporting himself to resting on her rear. Nyx cupped her rear with both hands, using them to support her weight and prevent her from riding any longer. He laid his head against her chest, giving her a gentle kiss on the top of her breast.
"I hope you don't regret saying you wanted this. I'm going to give you everything I have, Talie."
With a wicked smirk, Nyx tightened his grip on her cute little bottom and began to thrust up into her. His thrusts were neither slow nor gentle, the sound of their contact immediately beginning to fill the room. He was moving in a blur, bouncing himself up and off the bed to start every thrust.
Quickly, his breathing became hectic as he used the strength of his legs to slam himself inside of Talie. She had gotten plenty wet riding him and the movement was smooth, but the feeling of repeatedly pressing his whole length inside and against her back walls was overwhelming. Just as his pace was fast and intense, so was his coming orgasm.
The groan that escaped his lips was feral, his face falling away from her chest as she started to cum inside. His eyes were squeezed shut as his hips continued to abuse her small pussy. Now, he was arching up off the bed on sync with the heavy shots of his seed, filling her with the same intensity that he had the night before. It seemed like Talie brought out every little perverted thing about him.
Eldin had been up since early that morning. To be more precise, he had never gone to sleep after a night of dancing with Roshani and Cirrus. This damned negotiation with the Summer Court was driving him insane. No matter the angle that he came from, every offer was deflected by a reference to a three hundred year old slight by a ruler who no longer even lived here. It was unfair to expect the ambassador to navigate this maze when there was no exit. At least, that was what he thought before the House delivered a letter to him that morning.
'To the Night Court,
We will consider another round of negotiations, but demand a new negotiator be sent along with the ambassador. The presence of your High Lord had done nothing to improve the relationship of our two Courts and we wish to meet someone with a more level head. As your ambassador hails first from the wilderness of the Spring Court, we would demand someone more civilized as well.
High Lord of the Summer Court, dictated but not read'
It was perfect. Eldin had heard that a new member of the Court joined in his absence, though he had yet to meet this Taliesin. Cirrus and Roshani talked endlessly of how she had charmed Nyx without effort. She might be just what they needed to fix this.
That was what Eldin thought as he opened the door to Taliesin's room, having failed to find Nyx in his.
"High Lord, are you here... Oh."

When Nyx pushed himself up, she shifted with him. Rising him still, her breasts pressed against his chest as arms wrapped around his shoulders. Her smile was wicked at his answer and she nipped at his jaw, a feline like growl leaving her lips."Then who would dare stop me, if not you?"She knew what he'd meant, but she was having far too good of a time to not tease him. She knew no one stood above him in his court and therefore no one would stop her desire from coming to fruition.
Hands cupped her rear and she gave a sweet moan that ended in a sound of frustration as she realized his plan."An abuse of power!" her voice filled with laughter. His head came to rest against her chest and her lips brushed his hair lovingly."Tricksy, High Lord."A brow lifted at his words"Why woullllll~" Her voice drew out on a ragged moan, as he thrust himself into her. Gasping she barely had time to draw breath before Nyx had found his rhythm.
As quickly as he thrust she moaned, her own breathing quickly matching his, nails biting into his shoulders as she tried to ground herself from her approaching orgasm. Taliesin shifted only slightly, her head fall back as Nyx's did, teetering on the edge of her own orgasm. She'd been trying to hold out, extending her pleasure but the moment he groaned and began to cum, buried deep inside her, Talie lost her battle and her cry of pleasure left her lips.
The fact that the others should be home again had slipped from her mind. In her world, there was just the two of them. Lost in their pleasure she didn't hear the footsteps approaching. She hadn't paid any head to Nyx's bedroom door opening.. nor when her own door opened.
Eyes closed tightly she moaned again, her legs dangling slightly as Nyx lifted them both, filling her with his seed. Shifting her hands moved to his hair and she'd pulled him for a kiss as she heard the voice. Panting, her forehead fell to his and she turned her head slightly to look at the male intruding. Talie wasn't ashamed of her nudity, nor the position Eldin found the air in. Arms slipped around Nyx's neck and she pressed her body to his as she tried to remember how to breathe properly.
"Seems you have found him, but I am not quite done with him."His mate was ravenous, and though she didn't know of the bond, she did know she couldn't get enough of him."Could this.. wait?"her eyes traveled along Eldin's body. A smile curled on her lips and Talie turned her head from Eldin, her lips pressing to Nyx's neck, nipping playfully. Her lips moved to his ear.
"He will not save you Nyx.." The words whispered playfully.

Nyx loved the way Talie teases and played while they made love. But, he loved the way she could turn so wild and perverted when they fucked just as much. Now she had the two of them smiling and laughing while they both approached climax.
The way she arched and moaned as she came, completely off the bed as he thrust deep was possibly the most gorgeous thing yet. It was impossible to decide when everything she did was so entrancing. By the time he had emptied himself inside her and she had come down from her orgasm, the pair were panting and groaning together. Nyx was equally oblivious to their visitor until he heard the voice. He half expected some kind of girlish shriek from Taliesin, not knowing how she would react to being seen like this by a stranger. What he got instead was another playful little comment as he tried to peek around her to see Eldin, instead being pressed to her chest.
"Well, good morning Eldin. This is Taliesin, the newest member of our court and my lover, as you can see. Talie, this is Eldin, our ambassador and escapee from the Spring Court."
Her seductive little threat gave Nyx an idea. He brushed his nose against Talie's with a little bit of a smirk.
"I don't need to be saved, my love. You might be the one in trouble. What do you think, Talie? Would you like to have Eldin join us?"
He spoke up a little at the end to make sure Eldin knew what was being offered. The ambassador was about to take his leave, a little shy about having walked in, but not at all flustered at the idea of seeing them in this position. At the mention of the last question, he stopped and turned, the cocky little smirk on his face resembling something that Nyx might show in his playful moments.
The youngest member of the Court aside from Taliesin, Eldin had a bit of a boyish face. Unlike the two Illyrian members of the Court, he was pale with a series of light freckles across the bridge of his nose. His hair, which hung past his shoulders and was even longer than Nyx's, was a lighter auburn, verging on red. The ears that stood from under the long hair were dotted with little silver studs, going all along the rim and continuing under his tresses. Even his clothing was brighter than the rest of the Court. He still wore Night Court style, but it seemed to be designed to resemble the sunset, oranges and golds forming the swirling patterns with a center crescent of gold marking the sun. He also lacked the somewhat more built frame the warriors of the Court possessed. He sat on the edge, the sunrise and sunset, the dead leaves of winter passing into the Spring. The smirk he wore, combined with his brightness, seemed to pain the portrait of a bright and energetic young man. He managed a rather haphazard bow, running his eyes over Taliesin with the same interest she had regarded him.
"I'm happy to serve you, if my High Lord wishes. What do you say, Taliesin?"
human
Curled against Nyx, she lifted a small hand, fingers giving a little wave of welcome."Hello, Eldin." the words came out in an almost purr, still glowing from her orgasm. Talie shifted her attention back to Nyx, as she told him he couldn't be saved by the newcomer.. She had meant every word. He was hers. His words earned him a feline growl and at nip at his neck, before her eyes shifted back to Eldin as Nyx offered for him to join the pair. The man had already turned his back, his face holding a sweet shyness. The transition was interesting to say the least as he paused, turned and looked at them, his smirk reminding her of the man she was still currently wrapped around.
Nuzzling her cheek to Nyx's she watched Eldin for a moment. He was handsome, of that there was no doubt, though if Taliesin was being honest, he did not compare to Nyx. His hair was a lovely, vibrant shade of auburn, almost red. His build seemed more lithe than the others she'd met of Nyx's court, but even that was not unappealing. The bow made her smile and she licked the edge of Nyx's ear, still considering. She had not planned to add another to their bed, but Talie found the idea appealing.
"If Nyx thinks you can keep up,"the lazy, teasing tone was offered with a smile.
Talie had never been with more than one lover, at least that she knew of... the same could also be said of laying with a woman.. But here with Nyx she was more than willing to build new memories. It had been almost a month since she'd been found on the beach by Cirrus and in that time, though she'd not really done much beyond distract Nyx, she'd found herself feeling at home. She'd enjoyed talking and plotting with Roshani and she had more than enjoyed Nyx's brief but passionate affections.
It was about then that Talie realized something. She'd not woken in a panic, she had slept soundly through the night, held in his arms, encircled by his wings. Her eyes shifted for a moment from Eldin, eyes falling on Nyx. Considering him for a moment, her heart racing she pressed her mouth to his and for a moment, the kiss didn't hold the normal passion of her lust, but something far sweeter, far more intimate. Pulling back, her cheeks flushed, she smiled shyly.
The look faded as she held her hand to Eldin, that lazy, playful look coming back."You can't join us if you're fully clothed." Talie smiled and lifted a brow, waiting for him to strip. "Or are you not up to the task?"Her smile feline as she teased him.
gpt
Nyx smirked at the way Taliesin teased and purred at Eldin. Despite his age, the young fae had spent the better part of a century growing up in the savage Spring Court. Just as the Night Court was associated with the Illryians and monsters that populated it, the last few centuries had seen the Spring Court filled with shapeshifters and beasts. Sex was just another activity there, one that Eldin showed a flair of skill for. So, while Taliesin nipped and muzzled him, he smirked, knowing that she was in for pleasures she could only dream of.
"Don't tease him, Talie. You are likely to get yourself in too deep. Come Eldin, you heard her. You can't join in like that."
The shapeshifter, who had looked away out of respect for his High Lord and the High Lord's lover, almost seemed to transform when he knew that he was truly being invited. Despite his ability to change into beasts, the expression on his face was the most beastial thing about him. It was hungry, his eyes dragging up and down Taliesin's body.
"If the lady wishes, then off with my clothes."
Knowing that she was watching, Eldin took his time with it. He unbuckled the belt of his trousers, leaving them hanging loosely on his hips. Then, he grabbed the lower edges of his tunic, pulling it slowly over his head. While Nyx had his share of scars, Eldin was absolutely riddled with them, not the puckered scars of deep wounds, but dozens of bites and scratches, covering him like silvery constellations. More impressively, despite not having the strong frame of the Illyrian warrior, he had adopted their love of tattoos, his shoulder covered in swirling lines, the negative space in the center creating a crescent moon. His trousers, after kicking off the simple house shoes he wore, followed his tunic's example. While not as gifted as Nyx, his half erect cock was pleasantly large, getting harder as he drank in the sight of the pair.
While Talie was taking in the strip show Eldin so generously provided, Nyx was busy giving attention where he felt it was lacking. His hands had wrapped around Taliesin's lovely little breasts, covering them almost completely. He kneaded and massaged them gently, his palms moving to rub against her nipples with loving affection. Meanwhile, his cock was stirring back to life inside of his lover. His excitement at the prospect of sharing Talie, of seeing her bask in the pleasure two could provide, watching her drown in it, made his cock more than eager to continue.
"Come here, my love. Let him surprise you."
With that, Nyx took hold of Taliesin's chin and guided her eyes back to him. He sat up, one hand still on her soft breast. His mouth captured hers in a loving kiss even as Eldin joined them on the bed, the weight of his body shifting the mattress. While Nyx enjoyed sharing his partners, there was a selfish edge to it as well. He wanted Taliesin to focus on him, to let the pleasure overtake her while he drank in her lewd expressions.
Behind, Eldin threw the remaining blanket off the pair, revealing the supple curves of Talie's body and the place where their bodies were meeting. Even as Eldin approached, Nyx began to roll his hips, working the head of his cock back into the deepest parts of Talie. The younger fae moved behind the gorgeous woman, immediately leaning his head down to bite at her hip. This was just a warning as he began to bite roughly up her side, slowly drifting back to run his tongue between her shoulder blades and up to her neck, which he began to greedily kiss.
"Taliesin, you taste delicious and your scent is so full of need. Does Nyx make you ache for him so badly?"
As if to tease just a little more, Eldin pressed his now fully erect cock against her lower back, letting her feel the warmth of his desire.
human
Her eyes flickered to Nyx and she pouted, when told not to tease. Her eyes moved back to Eldin and she tilted her head, considering him. Nyx said she could get in too deep, but she couldn't see anything that could indicate such a thing. However, she trusted Nyx, and after a moment she nodded. She watched the way his eyes ate along her bare flesh and her body reacted to the look, nipples hardening. Arms around Nyx's neck she nuzzled her cheek against his as Eldin began to strip.
"I do," the words a purr of sound.
There was an art to be sure, undressing for another and Eldin had it down. The slow tease as clothing was stripped from his form. Biting her lower lip, Talie took in the show with the appreciation it deserved. After all, he was putting on a show, it would have been rude to not take in his body piece by piece as he revealed himself to her. Nyx's hands covered her breasts and she moaned, nipples pressing into his palms as he kneaded her breasts. Pants dropped and her eyes dropped with them. A pleased sound left her throat, approval, perhaps?
The sound drew Nyx back to her, hand under her chin, pulling her face back to his. A smile curled on her lips as she met his eyes. Leaning in she kissed him allowing herself to get lost in the tangle of tongues. She could feel the bed shift, but Nyx had desired her attention; it was all on him. She felt Nyx start to move again and she pulled back from the kiss, arms still around his neck. She watched his face as he thrust up into her. Lips parted as the pleasure flashed in her bright blue eyes. A nip at her hip made her smile at Nyx, her fingers curling in his hair. Soon she felt Eldin's mouth trailing bites up her side. Moaning softly, eyes on Nyx's she nodded.
Talie knew she burned for Nyx. Eldin was a pleasant surprise, but it wasn't him that made her scent drip in need."Yes,"the simple word was full of emotion and her lips lowered to his, her hips rocking now, brushing between Nyx and Eldin. A playful tease as she nipped Nyx's lower lip, tugging on it gently, a feline growl leaving her. Pulling back her nose brushed Nyx's, the touch almost sweet as she moaned, eyes closing for a moment.
She tried to remember if there had been a day that she hadn't desired him.. even that first day... she'd wanted to kiss him. She remembered how absurd it had felt and every day after they had come together like wildfire, leaving their bodies burning time and time again. Until last night where they'd come together and went up in flames, their passion devouring them. A part of Talie claimed Nyx, though it faded, the shadow working hard to keep her from knowing what the man beneath her was to her.
She couldn't be allowed to know he was her mate. It would be a shame to lose an asset, but they would shred her mind, leaving her a husk if they needed to. But for now, Taliesin seemed to not fight the power. The damned bond however was constantly struggling against them. It had gotten worse when they'd bedded and now as well.
"Nyx,"His name was moaned softly and she raked her nails along his skin, leaving white lines that faded to red.. Talie.. needed more. She wanted to bear his mark on her body.
gpt
Eldin had never formally met Taliesin before this. Aside from the fact that it was strange to meet the newest member of the Court in such lewd circumstances, there was an instant fondness for her. The way she looked at Nyx, truly desired him in ways that he likely could never understand, it endeared her to Eldin. This, perhaps, only made it stranger that they would meet like this. Still, based on his record with meeting women Nyx was with, this was surprisingly normal. But, there was one thing that he could see clearly about the pair. Roshani and Cirrus had told the truth. These two were mates.
Nyx moved his hands from Talie's breasts to pull her deeper into the kiss, sharing the same breaths as his love while her hips rocked in rhythm with his thrusts. Then kiss broke and those nails once again bit in, leaving clear red lines on his skin. He hissed, but it was not entirely unpleasant. Still, such aggression called for retaliation.
"You are going to hurt me if you keep clawing at me like that, little kitten..."
The room resounded a moment later when his hand collided with the firm meat of Taliesin's ass. It was her little punishment for causing him such a fresh hurt, though it barely registered as pain, most soaked in pleasure than anything. The punishment was not yet completed, though, and a half dozen more quick spanks filled the air. The final ended with Nyx holding her ass firmly in place, slowing her rocking. He locked eyes with Eldin over her shoulder and nodded, being overly cryptic for his own amusement. Eldin, however, seemed to catch on to his meaning.
"Lady Taliesin, should we get you ready for me?"
With that, Eldin began to kiss down from her neck, going down the opposite side of her body from his bites. These kisses were feather light, his nose brushing against skin just as softly. He made his was to her hip and continued to move down, kissing along the curve of her rear. He moved even further in before kissing softly on her ass. She was left perfectly spread by Nyx holding her where he had spanked. So, with no hesitation, Eldin buried his face in Taliesin's ass, his tongue eagerly rubbing the tip against her asshole.
To match this, Nyx began to thrust upward again, keeping his pace under control so that she could enjoy the pleasure of both lovers at once. Eldin continued to tease her ass with his tongue, pressing the tip inside and letting his saliva cover it. Eventually, his tongue even went so far as to move down, brushing against the spot where Nyx was entering her, his tongue dragging along Nyx's cock, against her pussy, and back up to her ass. As a final measure, he allowed a little more drool to run from his tongue to her ass, pooling.
"Do you want to feel us both, my love?"
human
She'd heard of Eldin from Roshani, though she'd yet to meet him. She knew from Nyx where he'd been as well, knowing that he'd gone to visit the Summer court for a few days, to help Eldin. It was the end of that brief time apart that had ended with them in the exact position they were in now. Moaning softly as Nyx pulled her deeper into their kiss, Talie willingly met him, her nails playing against his skin. Taliesin found that she liked the idea of leaving marks on her lover only adding to her arousal. Teeth, nails.. Something to mark him ashers.
"You are going to hurt me if you keep clawing at me like that, little kitten..."
Taliesin gave a small growl of approval of the idea and the nickname. A little pain between them was fair game in her eyes... And then she felt his hand come down on her ass, a gasp leaving her. Wide eyes looked down at him and her smile was feline as she grinned at him.. She'd been ready to growl at him again as his hand fell across her ass in a rain of slaps. The last few she moaned and whimpered for, though there was an nearly pouty sound as he stilled her hips. The whine was clear, his lover did not agree with being made to stop.
"Lady Taliesin, should we get you ready for me?"
Her eyes widened and she seemed to know what Eldin meant without needing much thought. Her face turned a bright crimson and her eyes moved back to Nyx. Lips trailed down along her neck, along her side, leaving her tingling in the wake of his lips. The final kiss on her ass made her meet Nyx's eyes, her own darkening a fraction. Oh, she was going to enjoy this, but in part it wasn't really Eldin that was doing the most for her. Being shared by Nyx, in a way, that still made her feel like she belonged to him made her heart race. The first touch of Eldin's tongue made her eyes close, lips parting as she moaned.
This seemed to be all Nyx had been waiting for, her ass still spread for Eldin as he thrust into her, her moans arching heaven's ward. She felt the tip of Eldin's tongue slip into her tight little ass, biting her lower lip, her eyes opened, meeting Nyx's. She felt his tongue trail lower and brush between herself and Nyx and had he not held her still, she would have taken matters into her own hands. A frustrated little growl as she felt his drool pooling.
The question from Nyx was met with a whimper, his name a plea."Nyx..." Nodding she reached behind her, her fingers brushing Eldin's side, the touch soft, as she kept her eyes were they belonged.His. Taliesin was Nyx's for as long as he'd want her. Without knowing of the bond, she knew there would never be anyone quite like him. Not even Eldin, who would slowly be filling her ass. The idea made her whimper, her fingers tightening on his shoulders, nails biting in gently.
gpt
Nyx gave Taliesin the sweetest of smiles as she said his name. She always had the most intoxicating expressions. Her little growls and smiles at his new little name for her, the grin she gave him when he spanked her, all of it was beautiful. While he was indeed sharing her with Eldin, he had no intention of ever letting her go. This was all to see those beautiful faces, to hear her pleasures when she experienced something only two people could give her was happening. He would accept anything that his Taliesin wanted, anything either of them could think of that would make her squirm and moan for more.
Eldin, on the other hand, had no interest in finding his mate, or even keeping a single lover. He was an animal of the Spring Court, living for whatever he thought was best at the time. If that meant that he was going to fuck the potential future High Lady, it would be important to get it done now, rather than later.
"You look like you might be a little impatient to start, Talie." Nyx said lovingly.
With that, he lowered Taliesin all the way down to the base of his cock, pulling her away from Eldin's face. The younger fae understood and moved to press his chest against Taliesin's back. Nyx pulled her in for a kiss, locking their lips together in a hungry and affectionate embrace. His hands rested on her hips, squeezing them tightly to make sure she did not move too much.
Eldin held his length by the middle, moving his hips closer to Taliesin. With a gentle nudge, he rubbed the head of his cock against her, wetting the head with his saliva. The first push was incredibly gentle, not even enough to enter her lubricated ass. Instead, the head applied a light pressure, like a warning. The next push was enough, though. All at once, his cock overcame the light resistance and entered her, the head immediately half-disappearing. The growl of pleasure from Eldin that followed was savage, showing exactly how much restraint it was taking to not simply bury himself inside.
While Eldin began the slow process of working his way deeper inside of Taliesin, Nyx continued to kiss her. He could feel the pressure of the other man filling her, her small body so very much full. It made him groan into Talie's mouth, his hands moving from her hips to her ass, spreading it to allow his friend to penetrate easier.
It must have been a full minute of kissing later, but Eldin finally pushed just a little deeper, his hips pressing against Talie's ass. She was completely full of the two of them and Nyx felt like her was ready to cum again just from the intensity of the feeling. He broke the kiss, breathing heavily as he spoke.
"Let us know when you are ready Talie. I think Eldin is about to lose himself from how good it feels inside of you."
human
There was no way for her to know the thoughts that swam through Nyx's mind, about how central in his world she was now. He felt the bond down to his bones, her own side struggled, tooth and nail to be free. On some level, while her feelings toward the High Lord of Night had seemed sudden, strong and unshakable. Even the shadow couldn't keep her mind from supplying an answer. Perhaps the bond just needed to snap into place? A small thrill went through her at the thought of being Nyx's mate. There was no consideration for what it wouldtruly mean, more what it would mean to her. To be his, to never be without his touch.
"You look like you might be a little impatient to start, Talie."
The words ate through her mind, along her skin. She couldn't deny it.. already sated once, her body burned with need and desire. Her moan wasn't dampened as he pulled her down fully on his cock, Nyx filling her smaller body to the brim. Pulled into him her mouth crashed against Nyx's, their hunger shared. The firmness of his grip ensured she didn't move, though the try was not missed by either as she tried, greedy little thing that she was, to enhance her pleasure further. A small growl of frustration as Nyx refused to allow her to move much, if at all.
Eldin was like her shadow, his chest pressed close to her back as he brushed himself against her, using his own saliva to coat the tip of himself. She felt him press himself against her rear and her body still entirely for a moment, even her mouth stilled against Nyx's. The moan was a tangle of breath as Eldin pushed more firmly. Talie could feel the way her body resisted and then slowly spread for him. Kissing Nyx again, she let herself get lost in the pleasure and the kiss. She was starting to feel so full as her ass stretched around Eldin. Nyx's hands moved to her ass cheeks, spreading her for Eldin, though for once Taliesin didn't try to move, allowing Eldin to fill her.. The groan from Nyx was echoed in her own moan and she closed her eyes, fighting the urge to let her nails bite into her lover's body, grounding herself from the feelings. So much pleasure, so full.
"Let us know when you are ready Talie. I think Eldin is about to lose himself from how good it feels inside of you."
Nodding some, her lips brushed against his as she took a moment.."Ready," The word trembled, unsure, but her body ached in a way that could only be solved one way. Her nose brushed Nyx's and her head dipped, lips brushing his neck, trailing kisses to the crook where his shoulder and neck met. Her teeth scraped against his skin and for once, it seemed as if Talie was requesting permission. She wanted him to want her to bite him. To hear her lover, her High Lord commanded her.
gpt
Nyx nodded as Talesin confirmed that she was ready for them. She was so close that he could not resist the urge to capture her lips again, holding the kiss for a few long seconds to assure her that this would be fine. Never, in this life or whatever was next, would he do something to her that he thought she would not like. It was an intimidating realization, a signal that she really had become his world.
Using her nails in his chest as a warning for any pain, Nyx experimentally rocked his hips. While she was nervous, that did not mean that she had gotten less aroused. Nyx felt himself sliding in her tightness with ease, her wetness aiding his movements. It felt incredible to have Talesin squeeze even tighter than before, her small body taking so much right now.
"Is it good, kitten? Do you like being worshipped from both sides?"
Eldin took that as a sign that he should start to move as well. While Nyx moved somewhat normally even given the circumstances, Eldin moved like Taliesin was made of glass. He pulled back slowly, not removing more than a third of himself before he thrust back to his fill depth inside her. While Nyx made love to Taliesin from below, moving his hips to press against her deepest areas, ones he had already learned would pleasure Taliesin, Eldin was moving slowly and with restraint.
Soon, the pair found a counter rhythm with one another. When Nyx was withdrawing from inside her, Eldin was pushing inside, pressing a little harder each time, pulling out a little further. It was not long before Eldin was panting, not exactly surprised by the tightness of the tiny fae between them, but overwhelmed by the pleasure of it. He still pressed against Taliesin with his chest, his groans of pleasure close to her ear.
"Lady Taliesin, your ass is incredible. You are squeezing me so tight."
Now moving at his regular pace, with the enhanced feeling of another cock pressing into his lover, Nyx was arching his back, slamming his hips into his lover. There was a feeling nagging at the back of his mind, buried under all the pleasure and the pure depravity of their situation. It was not jealousy. No, Nyx knew well enough that this was all his own idea. It was a need to possess, to keep Taliesin. He would claim her ass soon, make sure she remembered that all of her was his, just as all of him was hers.
"Do you want me to use your ass as often as I am inside your pussy, Talie? Does Eldin make it feel good?"
human
Sweetness mingled with lust. Their mouths met again and even as they kissed he tested the waters, moving inside her. Her moan rippled through the air and her nails bin in slightly. She was being careful of her lover, trying to not injure him.. besides they'd barely begun. He'd been so huge inside her the first time, filled her to the brim and now? He felt larger somehow, filling her more completely, which was breaking her mind a little. He'd done that before and nowmore?So full with them both inside her. That thought couldn't be shaken. It felt amazing. His words drew a smile to her lips and she purred for Nyx, like the namesake he'd given her.
The question however demanded an answer and she nodded. "Yes, I do.."She did.. yet.. while it felt amazing and she'd be open for more of such.. it wouldn't ever be quite as perfect as the two of them were together. Her heart knew this without question. This seemed to signal Eldin to start moving within her and she gasped, moaning. The pair slowly found a pace, where one was buried deep inside her as the other pulled back. Like pistons, they move inside her body. The restraint that Eldin had been showing slowly slipping as they moved inside her like a well oiled machine.
Talie herself was trapped inside a world of pleasure. Pinned between them as they both fucked her. Her moans came almost constantly, her sweet voice becoming huskier. She could hear Eldin's groans beside the shell of one arched ear, with Nyx's coming from below. A part of her wanted to change, she'd leave it for now.. perhaps the next time. To be pinned between them, held a loft with one in each of her ears.. Nyx.. so much closer... Within biting range.
"Lady Taliesin, your ass is incredible. You are squeezing me so tight."
The words alone would have made her moan, but Nyx it seemed was no longer holding back either. His hips slamming up into her. It was then her nails bit into his skin, her head falling backwards, resting against Eldin's shoulder as her cries, throaty, floated to the ceiling. It took a lot of will power to right her head once more, looking down at Nyx, his question making her face almost feral. New ideas forming in her mind. Her answer came in the form of a growl as she lowered herself back towards him, kissing him. The same possessive thoughts burning though her. To be his. She didn't question it...
"Nyx!"His name was the only warning he had before she came, shattering between the men.
gpt
Watching her squirm and moan was all that Nyx desired as he and Eldin maintained their ruthless rhythm. It was still a rather gentle thing, neither wanting to push Talie too far and hurt her. That is, until she shouted her High Lord's name and crashed down into a powerful climax. Then, as she squeezed both of them even harder inside, their primal male sides came to the fore.
Nyx began to move with the same kind of speed he had used before, pistoning up into Taliesin so fast and deep that it filled the room with the sound of flesh on flesh. He groaned as he slammed her quivering pussy, the head of his cock pressing hard into her with each thrust as she tried to wring an orgasm from him.
Eldin, with the beautiful Taliesin leaning her head back against him, did not manage to maintain his composure as well. The entrance of her ass squeezed so tight around the thickness of his cock he almost felt like it was forbidden to move. But, as he captured Taliesin's lips for a hungry kiss, all lust compared to the sweet and needy kisses Nyx gave, he indeed moved his hips. For a few long moments, the climaxing Taliesin was ravaged from both sides, Eldin's thigh slapping against her and sending ripples along her ass. His fingers were like a vice on her hips as he growled into their kiss and his cock swelled as his seed began to pour out into her ass. He rode it out then, kissing her while he milked himself into her.
Even as Eldin pulled himself from inside Taliesin, Nyx showed no sign of giving leniency. His hips moved in a blur, trying to force another climax from his lover, his Talie. It felt amazing to be inside her while she orgasmed, to fuck her even as her body tried so hard to push him over the edge. Without Eldin inside, the feeling was different, but no less pleasurable, his cock swelling to make sure that she was full only with him.
Then, finally, it hit him.
"Talie!"
His orgasm was explosive, happening almost before he could prepare himself. His first load of cum was joined by a second. This one seemed intent on filling her to capacity, shot after shot of seed pouring out as he churned it inside of her. In the end, as he finally stopped his savage pace, the pair were a mess of their own climaxes, her pussy letting their need and satisfaction run down the shaft of his cock.

Pleasure washed over her body and that body was determined to bring both men with her into that bliss. Her head had fallen backwards and she found her mouth captured by Eldin's. There was nothing but lust behind his kiss. A need to be sure, but it didn't compare to Nyx's sweet, demanding kisses. His held need too, but it was so different from Eldin's. Taliesin knew which of the two she preferred. It didn't stop her from kissing him back, her moans, whimpers trapped by his mouth as both men picked up their pace as her body gripped them.
The sounds of their bodies coming together almost drowned out their sounds of pleasure. She could feel Eldin slam into her ass, the cushion there bouncing with each hard, deep thrust. Her love had begun to move like he had without Eldin there. Even as Eldin milked himself into her as and pulled back, Nyx was not ready to give in yet. He had a goal, which was readily met by Taliesin as an other orgasm built. Pulling away from Eldin, her focus shifted to her mate.
Eyes on his she moaned. She was his. She would always be his. Heart, body and soul. What they all knew and her mind did not."Nyx,"his name whimpered as her body was pushed and shoved towards that edge for a third time in such a short period of time. The sounds that left her were breathy and then her shout that matched his own as he came. She felt him fill her, felt even as he slowed, and their orgasms lingered on their skin, his seed spilling from her. So full.
A chuckle left her and she collapsed against his chest. Her head resting over his heart. A hand reached back for Eldin. She'd not forgotten him. Their little first meeting had been pleasant. Fingers brushed against his chest, slipping along slick skin before falling away."What a pleasant way to meet members of your court, High Lord," her voice held an almost sleepy amusement. Her lips pressed over his heart. She knew she should move, pull herself free of him. Yet, moving seemed almost daunting.
A sigh left her and she pulled herself backwards, feeling Nyx slip from her. Curling against his side, her eyes rose to meet Eldin's, cuddled against Nyx."You had a need of Nyx?" She prompted lazily, her eyes closing for a moment before she shifted nipping his chin."I can leave if needed. A bath sounds divine."She didn't know if he'd want her there for matters of his court. Lover or not, she was more than aware the circumstances around her were still fuzzy.

For a few moments, the room was an ocean filled with nothing but bliss and satisfaction. Both of the fae males watched Taliesin with a desperate need to keel her, though Eldin only felt this way in the wake of his climax. He saw exactly how things were between the two. It was an intense and passionate affection that he had no hope, or interest, in tampering with. Such a thing was only seen between mates where he was born. This kind of love was not something that the savage Spring Court coveted often. Then, Taliesin suddenly took control of the room, bringing them back to business.
"Oh, the pleasure was all mine, Lady Taliesin. Well, not all."There was a slyness to his expression as he spoke, before he recalled himself."But, there is no reason for you to leave. I have a favor to ask of both of you."
At this, Nyx decided it would be best to not simply lay, though the small fae beside him made it very tempting. So, he compromised. Sitting up, he adjusted Talie so that she was resting her head against his side, using him as a pillow. It was a rather cute way to lay while discussing important matters of the Court, but he would not part from her side for anything short of an emergency. Which made the statement from Eldin even more concerning. What did the ambassador need from Taliesin?
"The Summer Court continues to be as difficult as always. In fact, they are even less interested in helping us than they were before your visit. It appears that the High Lord was not a fan of you in general. Which, were we not friends, I would not blame him. You were a bit aggressive in the negotiations, Nyx."
"Get on with it, Eldin. We have a bath to take."
"Oh fine. The Summer Court is requesting a new representative and they know our ranks well enough to know who that would be. Except, Roshani cannot go on a diplomatic mission. So, I thought that maybe Lady Taliesin would be able to accompany me when I go back. A pretty face, and she managed to charm you off your feet in no time. It might just be what we need."
There was a moment, right after he hear the idea, that Nyx considered just rejecting it outright. He had only just gotten back last night and wanted to spend some time with his lover. But, things were falling apart quickly with the Summer Court and it was true, Taliesin was exceptionally beautiful and charming. It was, at the core, a good idea. Not that he liked it any more after deciding this. But, he was her lover, not her owner. He would not order her on this.
"Would you like to go on a little mission for the Court, Talie?"
human
A lazy chuckle left her at Eldin's words."Indeed not."Talie was amused and sated. She could feel the pleasure still glowing in her limbs. She'd offer to leave, giving them the room when he informed the pair that he had a favor to ask ofthem. Beside her Nyx shifted, pulling her with him. Shifting, Taliesin laid her head on his side, one slender arm laying across his waist. Fingers traced a lazy pattern along his hip as Eldin spoke. Talie couldn't help but wonder what Nyx required from the Summer Court. In the short time Talie had been there she'd not heard of anything political. Understandable, it was after all why she'd offered to leave.
Nuzzling against his side, she wondered what Nyx was like in the negotiations. There was no doubt in Talie's mind he could be what he needed to be, even if she'd only ever seen the sweeter, if not animalistic, feral side of her lover. Even his commands had been sweet. Lashes lowered for a moment in thought, trying to picture the man she was draped across being something other than what she'd been witnessed to. It was hard, but she had seen flickers of it from time to time.
Nyx interrupted her thoughts and she smiled, eyes opening and focusing on Eldin once more. Both of them hated the idea instantly. Nyx had just gotten back and Talie would have lied to say that there was not a part of her that had planned to trap him in a room with her for days if not weeks as she explored his body. The hunger had been sated, for the moment, but it would easily flare back up. She also was unsure of how 'charming' she was. While not mates, there was no denying the attraction, the need for one another. She doubted she'd provide the same lure to the Summer Court's High Lord.
Shifting some she bit her lower lip. Nyx wasn't ordering her, which she appreciated. She hadn't lied when she said she didn't take orders well and he'd offered her the chance to say no. Yet... Talie found herself wanting to help. To prove herself useful. To find her place within his court. Within.. his life. She nodded."Alright. Though, I am not sure how much help I will be."There was a hesitation in her voice. It was hard to know herself. She'd woken with no memories within a cell. In the short period of time that she'd been free, Talie had been confined to the property. Her only interactions with Roshani and Nyx himself. She'd seen Cirrus, but had yet to speak to him.
"What would I need to do?"She looked between the pair.
gpt
The thought of having her leave so soon, not only after his absence, but also so soon after whatever had injured her so dearly before, left Nyx feeling a little uncomfortable. It was only out of a loyalty to his Court that he would accept this as an option. In fact, the Summer Court was the second to last place in Prythian he would like her to be, with only the wilds of the Spring Court less appealing. His hand moved to idly stroke Taliesin's hair as he spoke.
"You will have to deal with an insufferable little brat named Telsind who is not old enough to be away from his mother's tit."
The sigh from Eldin was loud enough to stop Nyx from going on with his little rant. It was suddenly obvious where the negotiations had fallen apart.
"High Lord Telsind's grandfather and Nyx's mother had a bit of a dispute over a magical treasure. Five hundred years ago. But, both sides refuse to admit they are wrong so instead they call each other names across the table and both act like children. Which is why they wanted to have a meeting without Nyx present. You would be there to represent the Night Court. Hopefully, it is all just a formality to piss our High Lord off one last time."
Eldin took this chance to rise up from the bed and return to his clothing. He began to process of re-entering his Night Court clothing while still talking.
"Most of the actual negotiations, if we get past formalities this time, will be done by myself and their mediator. Your job will be to simply be likeable. We don't need much from them, so just getting to a deal of any sort should be good."
Nyx fired a returning sigh at this comment. It seemed that he was not so happy about making even the smallest kind of deal at this point.
"I say we need nothing from then and they can go piss into the wind."
Eldin gave his High Lord a withering look. Clearly this was a topic that the younger male was well past being done with. He moved on, ignoring Nyx.
"We won't have to leave just this minute. Tomorrow morning would be likely, but I will sit and answer any more questions you have a little later. For now, go ahead and take that bath. Wring the last bits of energy from Nyx. Whatever you feel like."
human
The touch of his hand against her hair made her eyes close and she did purr for him, the sound soft, content at the touch. However his own words had her eyes opening and a strained laugh coming from her. Looking at Eldin, Talie offered a slight smile."I can promise I at least will not be that bad," Her eyes shifted back to her lover and she shook her head at him, her smile soft, loving as she brushed her lips against his chest."Please tell me you didn't sat as much to him." There was laughter in her eyes."I would expect more from my High Lord," teasing him as she looked back to Eldin as he clarified.
"I see. I have no such prejudices so that's a start I suppose." Her hand stroked against Nyx's hip still, a calming touch and a reminder he was never far from her mind. "May I ask what the goal is? Should I prove to be charming as hoped?" She was curious as to why the Courts were trying for the deal. The question had come from elsewhere though. Taliesin herself might have asked, but her mind wasn't for politics. Not to mention her place within the court was at best lover to Nyx and at worst spy. Both true, though neither was known.
Shifting she sat up, looking down at Nyx."I will help,"the words soft, and her lips brushed his. It was chaste, loving and she looked back to Eldin. "I was unaware I needed your permission."There was a small flash of what she would one day become to him. Glacial eyes flashing before her look softened."But I shall." She turned her back to him, her eyes on Nyx. Hands slipped along his muscled chest and she smiled at him as Eldin left her room.
"Do you think you can manage an actual bath this morning?" She shifted, straddling him."Or is Eldin right? Do you have energy left?"Her voice was warm and she leaned into him, kissing him."I think I personally could use some pampering and food. But I am game if you need a distraction, High Lord." Her eyes danced and she smiled."Perhaps later you can help me pick out my wardrobe while I play a charming distraction to your grumpy wake you left. You can help me pick outfits to strike him stupid as you believe him to be?"
gpt
Eldin certainly felt like the third wheel in the room as the pair began to gently touch and Taliesin teased her lover. Not that he really minded. Serious commitment was not his way and it was nice to see Nyx, the High Lord who had made a Court of strays, receiving some kind of happiness of his own. Nyx, however, was not content to simply be poked at for his immaturity.
"I told him twice as much as that, I'll have you know. You should have heard what he, and likely the whole damn Summer Court have to say about my mother!"
Eldin, at the subject of Lady Feyre and the Summer Court, was ready to take his leave as soon as possible. A quick answer for now, to satisfy curiosity before Nyx began to complain too loudly about the inappropriate comments.
"We need to get them to share their intelligence with us. The Courts don't war with one another, but they still loathe to work together."
It was the response to his, quite lighthearted, suggestion for her day that truly made Eldin turn for the door, though. The flash of cool anger in her eyes made him realize exactly how little he knew about Taliesin though. So, he took the distraction that Nyx provided for him and made his way toward the door. For the intimacy they had shared so shortly before, Eldin certainly felt like a stranger to the newest member of the Court.
Nyx, for his part, was certainly distracted. He returned the gently kiss just as gently and forgot Eldin was in the room almost as quickly as the other male left it. His arms wrapped around Taliesin's waist as she moved to straddle him and he found himself really wondering if he could manage to give her what she was suggesting. For now, though, the High Lord decided that it might be best for err on the side of caution.
"I think that food and a bath, in whatever order you prefer, will have to do for now. But, if you have built a little wardrobe in the days that I have been away, I will be more than happy to explore it. Putting clothes on...taking them off. We can make a good day of that if we try."
Another soft kiss followed as his hands moved gently up and down Talie's back. He rubbed her skin slowly, trying to make her purr again if he could.
"So, should we go to the bath then, kitten? I might need to rest a little, but I can give you plenty of entertainment without going over the line."
human
She had bit back a sigh when Nyx had told her had in fact told the High Lord of Summer that and more. Talie could not recall her family, but when she thought of what it meant, she felt no strong feelings. For a moment she had wondered if she was close with her family? Was someone missing her? Blinking the thoughts away she had smiled at her lover."No wonder he didn't want to play nice."It had been her only comment, though a part of her understood the anger he'd felt about someone talking about his mother. It was Eldin that had told her what they were seeking from the High Lord of Summer and she offered a little nod."I see. That seems foolish."Not sharing information meant more than half of Prythian was blind. Oh, Taliesin was sure they had spies within one another's court... but they wouldn't know as much as the High Lords.
The anger had been short lived, though in truth, no one knew her well. It was something Nyx desired to fix and Talie herself wanted to learn more of her past or at the very least, create new memories. However, one thing she knew, short of Nyx himself pushing her to the side,no one, absolutely no one,would keep her from him and she required no one's permission. Eldi made his exit as she'd moved to straddle her lover, his lips finding her own, the kiss sweet.
A chuckle left her and she rubbed her nose to his."Oh I am so glad you said that. I would have happily sated your hunger yet again, but I am starving!" Her smile was bright and she kissed him again."I only have the clothing that Roshani has provided me and the few outfits you furnished me with." Her eyes moved to the remnants of her dress."Shall I wear that for another High Lord?"Talie was provoking him, she wanted to hear him growl, to see that look in his eyes that said she washis. After the playful remark from Eldin, she needed it.
His hands slid along her back and she offered a throaty purr, the touch soothing. Gently she pushed against his hands, as if seeking the touch further."A bath would be lovely. I am not sure how clean we really got last night."She smiled slowly."I don't think being tossed into soapy water or being rescued from said water really counts as bathing..."She shifted, though the movement was clearly reluctant. A small hand was held to him as she stood beside the bed.
"Let me wash you, High Lord." Though it was a statement, there was a sweetness to it that made it a request of sorts. The length of her silvery white hair fell about her naked form, tumbling over a shoulder, covering one breast. The rest fell around her slender form. The sun behind her, it made Talie seem to glow. The way she looked down at him, made her feelings well known. Bond or no, she was falling for him. Hard.

Now that they were alone, Nyx felt himself relax into a more casual state. Eldin was one of his closest friends, but there was simply a different state of mind one had when they were completely alone with their lover. A certain amount of compassion and affection that was often held in check by the presence of others. It was part of why he massaged his fingers up and down her back, the reason why he found himself smiling softly as she spoke, just at the sound of hearing her voice. For them, it also meant that teasing would have to begin.
"I don't think I could let another man see you in that dress and live. Not only is it absolutely stunning on you, but now it is a very special memory for me. So, High Lord or no, I think we need to find something different for you to wear to see Telsind."
Though his tone was soft and sweet, there was a flash of what she wanted. A pure and instinctual reaction to the idea of someone else seeing it. That dress, the sight of her wearing it, all of it belonged to him and there was no chance he would ever share any part of that night if he could help it. But, it was fleeting, his face still bright and loving as she slid from his hands.
"Even if it did count as a bath, someone woke me up in a sex craze and we would need another bath regardless. Don't take that as a complaint, mind you. I am more than happy to wake up like this every day. Minus Eldin, at least most days."
As he watched her leave the bed, there was something about the full sight of her, the view of her cast in sunlight and draped in only her hair that twisted something up inside Nyx. It was a new feeling, similar to what he had felt when he realized they might be mates. It occurred to him all in one crashing moment as he looked her over, her hand extended and the sunlight bathing her like a goddess. Damn it. Nyx loved her wholly and completely. The mating bond be damned, in the span of a week she had managed to turn the High Lord of the Night Court from someone who lived an aloof life, who played games and played with women as he pleased, into the kind of person who fell in love. His hand moved to hers, holding gently as he mostly pulled himself from the bed. Without hesitation, Nyx pulled her arms and lifted her body with his other hand, draping her over one shoulder.
"I would not have anyone else in the world besides you wash me, Talie"
With her over one shoulder, Nyx carried her to the bathroom, adjusting his wing to let her lay comfortably. This time, though, the bath was not prepped and he did not have an opportunity to toss her into the water. Instead, he set her down onto her feet again, giving her another of those chaste kisses they seemed to enjoy after having such a lewd morning.
"I can't promise to return the favor. It might make me... Hungry."
human
The feeling of his hands sliding along her back combined with that flash in his eyes made her face soften. The possessive look in his eyes, the reason behindwhyshe'd never wear that dress for another. It melted Taliesin."I'd not have had it any other way,"came her soft answer, her lips brushing his. Even had Nyx given his blessing, Talie wouldn't have worn that dress for another. All the blessing might have done was hurt her feelings. It hadn't been a test though, for Talie had been almost positive of how Nyx would answer her. Such a short period of time, yet she felt she knew her High Lord. Knew.. at least on some level his feelings for her.
"I take no blame for how I woke you. You are far too handsome for your own good." Her answer was almost prim as she rose, hand extended to him."Well it's good you have accepted your fate, Nyx" His name was purred from her and she smiled."I would have to agree. He was pleasant, but there is only one I wish to share my bed with daily." The promise of her words, the implication clear, even if she blushed softly with the offer.
The changes in her mate were all but unknown to her. She had only ever known this sweetness and hunger...
As he rose, Taliesin smiled and then gave gasp, laughing as he lifted her. Tossed over his shoulder she squirmed. The first thought was to lick his wings.. Instead she bit his side playfully, still laughing. Her mouth against his wings would turn this sweet, loving moment back to sex. She craved him, almost constantly, she'd been honest about both the bath and food."Brute!"Her voice danced with her laughter as she swayed on the way to the bathroom.
Set on her feet she gave him a playfully huffy look, those she rose on her tiptoes to return the kiss."Oh, is that so, High Lord?"Her brow rose lazily."Then perhaps it's best that I get bathed first."She brushed her hand across his stomach, moving towards the tub, starting the water. Turning she faced him, watching him quietly. Had she ever had a lover like Nyx? Someone who made her heart race, who she felt... at home with? Shared a bath? For a moment, she wondered if she'd ever know another lover.
It was sad and hopeful all at once. Here and now, Talie knew she wanted no other, so if she didn't, she'd be a happy Fae.... And if she did... what would bring it about? Shaking herself she smiled at him."Shall I command you?" She teased him, her eyes still a touch haunted. No one could ever replace Nyx. Taliesin knew that. He'd always be the one. The thoughts were strong, so real and they faded like smoke as the shadowy figure pushed them aside.
Infuriating mating bond.
gpt
The sound of Taliesin laughing made a stupid grin spread across Nyx's face. While the change was not so drastic on the outside, as he had always been one to joke and play with those closest to him, it was his internal thoughts that had changed. While he very much wanted to keep Taliesin for himself, a sort of possessiveness that he had not felt for any other female before this, there was something more to it. He wanted her to laugh and be happy, to feel the ultimate happiness and pleasures. It was why it had been so easy to share with Eldin before.
Then, as he set her down and she so lovingly returned that kiss, the feelings transformed again. Not into something wholly different, but into something more desperate. He needed to keep Talie. She needed to spend eternity with him, happy and satisfied, or he would simply go mad. This was the part of him that recoiled at the idea of letting her go to the Summer Court. Only a concentrated effort from Nyx's logical mind, the one raised to be High Lord, that let him accept it as a good idea.
The brush of her hand across his stomach was all it took to throw that logical mind away, to banish it and lock it behind a wall of never-ending hunger for Talie. Nyx felt his wings flex involuntarily at the small touch while he watched her easy and graceful stride. Kitten was indeed a perfect nickname for his lover.
"I think watching you run water all over your body would be enough to cause the same reaction. No, I will have to be a good boy and control myself. After all, I will have to give you a proper evening to remember when you are in the Summer Court. Won't I?"
The concept she brought up next suddenly struck Nyx as very interesting. When had been the last time he had given up power in any way? He had knelt and worshipped Taliesin, but even then he had held control. With a smirk, Nyx crossed his arms and looked Talie over again.
"Okay, my kitten. You can give me orders for a while today. Enjoy it while you can, though. Not many will be allowed to order a High Lord. I will do anything you ask. I will control myself and give you a pleasurable bath, and a bath only, or I will ravage you completely like I did last night. You could even eat your meal off my body like some spoiled goddess. I leave the fate of our morning in your hand."
human
She had struggled playfully as he carried her towards the bathroom. The bite had gone all but unnoticed and Nyx should have considered himself lucky that he was already setting her down on her feet and that the bathroom was so close, else they both would have found out what happened when she was ignored, small as it was. Nyx met her kiss though, as she had leaned up to kiss him. There was a way that they came together that made Talie feel like she was home. Not just sexually, for that hunger never seemed to vanish... But even in their sweetest moments.
While she could kiss Nyx all day, Talie needed food and desired a bath. She smelled like sex and while not unappealing, a bath sounded like heaven. She felt his eyes on her as she walked past him. Even knowing she needed food, she couldn't help but tease him a little. Her movements slow, precise as she turned the water on, the heart of her ass on display.
A low chuckle left her as she stood."A good boy?"her voice was playful, the tone clearly saying she doubted he could be such. His next words though made her swallow hard and Taliesin couldn't help but wonder what her evening would hold and found herself looking forward to finding out. While she did expect something sexual, to help tide her over while she was away from him, she wondered what else her High Lord had up his sleeve.
She'd been teasing when she suggested he give up power, allow her to order him about. The smirk made her head tilt and the way he looked at her made her shiver. What came next was unexpected. Blinking, she moved closer to him. Talie didn't doubt his offer, so she didn't question if he meant what he said and the shadow was thrilled at the prospect she'd been able to get him to agree to something... however it wasn't true control. If they made her demand something out of sorts, he'd know.
"Then a real bath."She smiled slowly and reached out to brush her fingers against his cheek. "For us both and then breakfast. While tempting to eat my meal off of your body, I think plates."It was more than tempting and there was a flash in her blue eyes with the mention of it."Then, perhaps you can show me some of your kingdom?"She smiled softly."You don't have to take me to the city below, but fly me over some of your lands?" There was something in her voice, a sadness. Talie still didn't know of her wings, the scars... but the idea of flying... Being in the air."But first, kiss me again Nyx. So when I am away from you, I can remember these kisses, these moments and feel... home"
gpt
These small kisses were what Nyx lived for now. Each one was a reminder of those moments when they had met in the halls over the last week. The way they had crashed together and lost all control. But, it was a reminder of the feelings, not the desire. This inexplicable attraction that dragged them together whenever the other was near. The sweetness of it all might have even been repellent to a less mature Nyx. But now, having felt it himself, he understood that this was what one should always desire to find.
This, however, did nothing to curb the very different feelings he had when she took those graceful strides away, leaning forward to turn on the water. The way that he hair fell away and revealed the curves of her body, the incredible little ass, it made the hungry monster inside stir a little again. It was only her little comment, her mockery of his fragile self control with her that inspired him to resist again, to prove his point at the very least.
As her fingers reached out, Nyx placed his hands gently on her waist, listening carefully to the new orders from his momentary ruler. A real bath would be a sorely tempting thing, but he could manage. Food, though, did sound completely fantastic. It was hard to remember when he had last eaten and with a start he realized it had been in the Summer Court the day before. Another testament to how wholly Taliesin could distract him. Her last idea, though, had Nyx breaking out into a sly grin.
"It seems you might be a mind reader, kitten. You have spoiled my plans for the evening with that request."
Nyx leaned in and gave her the sweetest of kisses, repeating it a few times with little pecks.
"I was planning on flying you around the city tonight. But, we have so much to prepare for now that I think just flying would be silly. Why don't I take you down into Velaris and we can find some new clothing that is perfect for you? After all, if you are serving the Court, why should I not trust you to at least see the city?"
The next kiss came quickly and was far less chaste. His arms wrapped around her tightly and he lifted her off her feet so they could meet their lips in earnest. The wings that she seemed so fond of joined in as well, once again wrapping around to encase them in a world of velvet. Locked together again, Nyx could only groan softly into her mouth.
human
Would she ever tire of having him touch her? Talie wasn't sure such a thing was possible. She craved his touch as much as her next breath, be it sexual or like now, comforting as he listened to her orders. For a moment, Talie wanted to take back her offer to leave him... The shadow within her mind rebelled even as her own mind did. She wanted to be of use and not just in Nyx's bed. Whatever her life had been before now, whatever she had done before washing upon his shores... It was different now. She was a part of his life for as long as he wanted her and she wouldn't be useless to her High Lord. She'd go, even if it meant being away from him, if only to be of use.
Her demands laid before him she tilted her head to the side as he grinned at her slyly. The nickname had her smiling and she chuckled, rising on her tiptoes to kiss his chin."I am sorry for ruining your plans." Her voice was sincere and she lowered back down, her hand slipping to rest on his chest."But I couldn't deny my desire to be held close as you show me your Kingdom,"she whispered softly, a sort of ache she couldn't explain in her voice. Taliesin might not remember flying, but it was an empty, aching hole in her soul that longed to be filled and it leaked out around the edges.
Nyx leaned in and kissed her. The remnants of that sadness vanished with the first sweet kiss and she was giggling softly with the following pecks of affection. Tilting her head she bit her lower lip, looking up at him."Are you sure?"The world knew of Velaris now, but she knew it was still guarded heavily from outside forces."I know how precious it is..."Shifting, she gave him the shyest of smiles."I'd like that though, if you are sure." His answer made her smile blossom and grow. "When you put it that way, servant," she teased him playfully, before her nose wrinkled."Joking aside, Nyx, I would love to see the City of Starlight by her High Lord."
Gasping as he bent, lips finding hers. Her arms slid around his neck and she lead into the kiss even as his arms snaked around her once more. Her feet left the floor and she chuckled even as his mouth slanted over her own. His wings surrounded them, wrapping them in velvety twilight. Talie kissed him as this was the last time they'd kiss, with a wild abandon that spoke more of her heart than anything else ever could. She only pulled back as her body screamed for air. Slowly her lashes rose and she rubbed her nose to his before looking at the cocoon of his wings and then back to him."I have never and will never see something so beautiful."
Talie knew what Velaris was known for even as she whispered those words to him and she meant every word.
gpt
Another little kiss and Nyx was lost to his affections. He was almost scared of the sway those lips held over him. Taliesin could likely walk into any shop in Velaris, point to something she desired, and have it for just the price of one soft kiss delivered on the tips of her toes. He was lucky that her demands were so small, just as sweet as the kisses she gave. The idea of flying over the city with her was nearly perfect. The only thing wrong was the look in her eyes, this small yearning look that spoke volumes. Flying held in his arms was not enough for her and it never would be. She had the same kind of look Illyrian women had when their wings had been clipped. Taliesin lusted for the sky.
However, just as his kiss had thrown that sadness from her eyes, it distracted him from these thoughts. His eyes lit up as she spoke of his love for his city. She only made him more certain that this was the right choice. Talie would be someone who could understand the beauty if Velaris, not just when lit up at night, but as a place of arts and trade. His own mother had learned this from his father and Nyx planned to do the same with his own lover.
"I am absolutely sure that sharing Velaris with you is the right choice. I knew from our first kiss that we would end up like this and I should have known then that I could show everything to you."
Their kiss that followed was passionate and intense in a different way from before. They had been like animals, pulled together by the threads of the suspected mating bond. They kissed and fucked and loved with an intensity that would he bound to flare up and burn out. Now, they rested on the hot embers, still burning low and ready to burst into another bonfire should the right fuel be added. But, it was the comment on his wings that dragged him back down, back into the world of mortal problems. His suspicions returned and the wings that wrapped them flicked open.
"Talie, this might sound strange after everything we have done, but... May I see your back? I have yet to see you from behind properly and I suspect there might be something lovely about it."
A soft lie to hide a dark worry.

The power she held over him was unknown and even had she known, it was unlikely the tiny female would abuse it. She just didn't desire material things and for now, her entire focus was on her High Lord. The kisses, mingled breaths and lingering touches. The warmth of their bodies was soothing, enrobed in his wings. She felt safe. With him, Talie doubted she'd ever feel anything but safe. Her cheeks flushed in the dim light and she smiled at him, still shy. His words stroked a fire inside her soul. The shadow in her mind struggled to maintain it's grasp. Their involvement had been planned, what hadn't been planned was the fact that the two were damned mates. The whore had been meant to be a distraction, a pleasing one to distract Nyx and lower his guard. A soft snarl was issued across the sea. Holding her mind hadn't been taxing and slowly was becoming more and more of a chore.
Their kiss broke and his wings spread, cooler air brushing her skin. Talie mourned for their warmth, their shadow along her skin. His question earned a bright laugh from her."Normally I would make you beg for the pleasure, servant." The words teasing but she turned obediently, drawing her hair over her shoulder the tangle of silver falling to hide her breasts as she bared her back for him. The request had been silly, but lovely to her and Talie had nothing to hide from Nyx.
The pale expanse of her back was perfect save for twojagged linesalong her shoulder blades. The memory, much like the wings that had once sprouted from her back, had gone from Taliesin. Though, the scars told a story. Whatever had happened had been... brutal. Jagged as if they had been ripped and carved from her body, no stumps remained. They had been viciously efficient. Her chin rested on her shoulder, a soft smile on her lips, lashes lowered some as she took him in. "Enjoying the view?"It was clear she had no idea, from the way she teased him. She wasn't cruel, never once had displayed such a trait. She was oblivious, as much said by her little butt wiggle, her voice holding laughter still. Laughter and love.
Perhaps it would make sense, how they had found her. The fact that upon waking in the cell, she had not recalled how battered and bruised her body was. The sheer amount of damage should have resulted in some sort of emotion, yet... there had been none. No sign as she had eagerly embraced Nyx of the rape that had occurred. As if it had all been wiped away with a deft hand.

Even as Talie played, calling him servant for their little game, the High Lord felt his heart start to pound in his chest. It was unthinkable to have flight taken away from him. It would be a part of himself ripped away and thrown to the side. To think that something so awful had happened to his lover and she had shown no sign of it was even more impossible to wrap his mind around. There was no way that his suspicious could be correct. So, he calmed himself as she turned, ready to see a lovely back and backside. Except, it was not impossible. Instead, of flawless skin there was a pair of scarred lines.
The lines were violent, torn and jagged in a way that spoke volumes to Nyx. When she had first arrived, her body had been beaten so badly that he had not noticed any individual wounds. But these... they were savage and unrepentant, wholly dedicated to removing the wings completely and not leaving a trace. His heart sank to the bottom of his stomach and for a moment Nyx felt he would be ill. He feared having flight taken away from him, while Taliesin had it carved off her body like meat. Yet, when she looked over her shoulder at him, there was no terror, no memories being brought to the surface. There was only one possible explanation. That had been carved away too.
Her question was lost as his mind rolled over the possibilities and, for a moment, he was sure that it showed on his face. Something was wrong. Realizing he needed to hide his reaction, Nyx threw his arms around her from behind and moved to press his body to her own. They were pressed together again, flesh against flesh, and that helped to calm him. His mind caught up to reality and the question Talie had asked finally came to the front of his mind. The truth then, if only parts.
"It is a very lovely back you have. I took the privilege of admiring your ass, as well."
The last part was a true lie. He had been so distracted that he barely remembered anything aside from the scars. There was no way he could bring them up now, no way he could ruin the mood or, even worse, drag up memories that had been left behind for good reason. That would be the same as hurting Taliesin himself. He would wait for now, let her settle into this life more and make sure that she knew it was a safe place before he tore open old wounds. Blissful oblivion would be their fate for now.
"Now, should we get ready for our trip into the city? We need to get you a proper wardrobe of lovely dresses and, perhaps, we can find something fun to buy."

A small frowned pulled at her lips, his eyes didn't seem to be doing what she had expected... Roaming her backside a smile on his lips. He looked a little green around the gills and was frowning himself."Nyx?"Perhaps his name pulled him from his reverie or he maybe broke himself from his thoughts as his arms came around her, pulling her in closer to him. His warmth once more pressed to her skin. Her body had been a little stiff, Talie naturally curious what had caused the reaction but she softened and leaned back into him. A soft laugh escaped her."Uh huh.." She turned in his arms and pressed a kiss to his jaw.
She could have questioned him, asked him why that expression had been on his face. In truth, she didn't even think it had anything to do with her. Talie was wondering had he gotten bad news? Roshani had told her that they could, if needed talk mind to mind, Nyx and his court. Whatever had caused that look, she didn't want to make him dwell on it and he seemed of the same mind.
Nodding, she gave him a gentle push."Go on, let me dress." He had made noises of spoiling her and Taliesin already knew she wouldn't allow him to do any such thing. She didn't need that many clothes.. A wry smile on her lips as Nyx left. More so if he just planned on shredding them. A tremor ran down her spin at the memory and she gave herself a little shake. She felt like a fledgling; her lusts so easy to rise.
Humming softly she moved to her closet. Roshani had been a dear and gotten her a few outfits to wear beside the dress that had been carefully planned to drive Nyx out of his mind with lust. With the plan of flying, she decided on abodysuitof teal blue, the color fading from her shoulders into a dark, dusky gray as it approached her feet. Gold accented her small breasts, the swell of her hips in a feather pattern. The final touch of the outfit were straps of darker blue almost black crisscrossing down her body, emphasizing every inch. While covered, without much skin showing, the outfit was still sensual. Normally she might have left her silver gray hair free, but today she pulled it into a high pony tail. With her hair in a swinging freely down her back it showed off the delicate points of her ears and the beauty of herfeatures.
Dressed the soft footfalls were almost noiseless as she entered the hall, her door closing with a soft click. Moving towards his room, she knocked."How is it I am ready before you? Are you primping, High Lord?" Taliesin's voice vibrating with laughter.

Nyx could tell he had let something slip with his face. Her face and tone when she said his name made that obvious. As he wrapped his arms around her, though, she seemed to let it go. Her body relaxed against him and her lips pressed to his jaw. It seemed that, for now, Talie was not willing to push her curiosity any further. So, when she pushed him gently away, he did not resist. While he had much on his mind right now, she was right. They did need to get dressed.
When Nyx returned to his room, making sure to check the hallway for others before he walked out completely nude, he let out a long sigh. There were a lot of things to think about when it came to those scars. First, it was unlikely that Talie was Illyrian with how pale she was. There was no point in searching for a missing person in his own kingdom. It all made him realize that he had forgotten about this mystery. He had given up on finding the truth about Taliesin because of his own feelings. Perhaps Cirrus was right in his suspicions and this was all a set up, but the mating bond was real. It had to be. It just had not fully connected yet, right?
Nyx found that his thoughts returned to things that he should have focused on before. All the things that could have been, likely had to be, true seemed like they might be true. He dressed himself in his usual black tunic, though today it was patterned with gold instead of the usual silver. Not that he was focused on what he was picking, letting his hands wander to his clothing as he ran through a dozen unthinkable scenarios. Who had hurt Talie so badly? If she really was a spy, was it just a coincidence that she was his mate? Had it ruined some grand plan? Or maybe it really was all being faked, somehow. Nyx was caught in these kinds of thoughts, sitting on the edge of his bed, when he heard a voice from the hall. Talie's sweet voice calling out to him as usual, with a little laugh in it.
Nyx let another drawn out sigh escape, convincing himself that he would try to press this a little, to try to figure something out before she went off to the Summer Court. Then, he opened the door and saw her. The body suit, while different from her usual dresses and tunics, was certainly sexy. He found himself smiling a little without realizing. She truly was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. The thoughts of interrogation were swept from his mind and he found himself beginning to circle her slowly, as he tended to do.
"I was taking my time, kitten. No need to rush our day. This outfit though, I have to take my time with. Your ass looks superb in it and your body is on full display. We even managed to match, by happy coincidence. How am I meant to go about my day walking next to this?"

"I was taking my time, kitten. No need to rush our day. This outfit though, I have to take my time with. Your ass looks superb in it and your body is on full display. We even managed to match, by happy coincidence. How am I meant to go about my day walking next to this?"
This was said as he circled her, examining the bodysuit. It was indeed different from her normal garb and strongly influenced by Roshani. The smile he'd had when he opened the door made her heart race a little and the way he purred to her made her body ache sweetly. A brow lifted lazily and she turned to face him."Perhaps a blindfold?" Laughter still lingered in her voice and her hand slipped down his arm to his own and her fingers linked with his."I hadn't planned to match, but I can't say I find it unappealing."her free hand rose and she tucked a lock of his inky black hair behind his ear.
Her mind slipped back to the frown on his face and she wondered if she should push it. Talie wanted to be more than just a bed warmer, she knew this without even thinking. She wanted to help share his burdens. That hit her hard in the chest and her fingers tightened reflexively on his."Nyx?"She paused and turned to him and bit her inner cheek."You know you can talk to me about anything, right?"Her face was open, loving as she looked up at him."Before, I don't know what caused it, but... You're not alone." Her cheeks flushed ever so slightly."I know.. we don't know each other well, but... I will always be here for you."
She felt silly, stupid even. They barely knew one another. Beyond the almost instant, painful physical attraction, they didn't know one another. She was asking a High Lord to share his burden with her. It was foolish. Beyond foolish. And for the first time, in some time, she recalled how she had arrived. A frown pulled on her lips and she looked away."You don't have to of course, and I would understand."Moving back to her room, with its open wall, her fingers loosening on his own. If he didn't try and keep her hand, it would slip from his own.
It was odd how such happiness could dissolve so quickly. Her own self-doubt eating at her mind, her confidence. Why would he actually want her? For anything more than a companion to warm his bed? She had nothing to offer, she was no one. She had washed up on his shores without her memory. While she doubted she would ever be able to bring him harm, who had she been before. And... how foolish would he be to trust her?
She was.... nothing. No one.

This was the mood that Nyx so enjoyed with Talie. When they were light and teasing, playing games with one another. He wanted nothing more than for things to stay like this, always. The laughter in her voice as she suggested he be blindfolded, the way she tucked his hair behind his ear, it all made his heart pound and and flooded his body with sweet sensation.
"I have, unfortunately, burned this image into my mind. A blindfold would do nothing."
Nyx felt her fingers suddenly tighten and the new tone with which Taliesin spoke soured the saccharine sweetness that was filling him once more. He could tell her anything? Those words felt so true in his ears. His very soul was screaming that it was okay to give everything to this female, to spill all of his worries. It would all be fixed if he simply spoke the words aloud and let her know his worries. But, his logical mind was at war with this instinct, snarling just as fiercely that it was not possible to trust someone so completely after such a short amount of time. Roshani and Eldin had worked hard to earn his trust, proven themselves time and time again. They had been loyal to the Night Court and to him.
On the other hand, Cirrus had been something similar to Talie. He had appeared so suddenly and begged to join the Court just to be close to Roshani. There had been a desperation and honesty to him that had moved Nyx and earned him a new close ally. What was to say Talie would be any different? If anything, his instinct was stronger now than ever. It told him to embrace Taliesin, both as a lover and as a new ally. However, his reason won out.
"I know, kitten."
This time, Nyx wore a smile that was soft and caring, but riddled with notes of sadness. What he said was true. He knew he could trust her from his very core, yet he could not accept that. Filled with a bottomless self-loathing, he let her fingers slip away from his own.
"I feel the same way. I want to tell you everything, ask you everything. But, I can't. Not yet. I have to worry about thousands of others and I can't just let feelings decide their fate. Just... just give it time. I know you will prove my feelings correct."
There it was, his suspicions all but laid bare before her. It would sting. He knew it would. There was simply no other choice in the matter. All he could do was soothe the bite.
"You will understand it all well, one day. As a member of the Night Court and, maybe, even as my High Lady. Now, why don't we forget this serious business for now and have a little date?"

"I have, unfortunately, burned this image into my mind. A blindfold would do nothing."
The words made heat coil in her stomach and her blood burn as her cheeks flared a delicate pink. A smile curled to one side of her lips and she lifted a lazy brow upwards. "Unfortunately, High Lord?"Laughter lingering in the pouty question. What was about him that made her body burn so easily? Had she always been this easy? It was hard to tell honestly as she knew nothing of her past. Of who she had been before waking up on his shores. That thought darkened the laughter in her eyes and the conversation had shifted.
It was almost bitter, the change in the mood between them. Talie desired to be much more to him and yet she knew he was already being reckless with her. It wasn't the time they had spent together. That was natural and complicated very little. It was the position he was giving her within his court. It was the parts of his heart that she'd already won over. It was a struggle to separate her feelings and her mind as well. Of course she had wanted him to easily agree to share those burdens with her, even if she hadn't honestly expected him to.
It didn't lessen the sting any as the words didn't come.
Her eyes would have normally held his but as he spoke she looked away, dark lashes shading her endless blue eyes. Her chin turned to the side as she tried to hide the emotion that would be raw in her eyes. She could hear his sadness, but it was far from a balm. She had expected this. Had known this to be the right answer. Yet, why did it hurt so? A small nod left her and she spoke softly."I understand."
Her own voice held something akin to tears. Inhaling she counted back from five before lifting her face. She didn't sniffle, didn't wipe her eyes. Tears had threatened but not fallen. He'd perhaps see the ghost of them in her eyes. Making her gaze sparkle like diamonds."Okay."She tried for a smile. Taliesin couldn't be mad at him, his words had been honest and true. They hadn't been malicious or intended to hurt her.
She didn't want to ruin the rest of their day so she fought to gain control of those turbulent emotions as she leaned up and kissed his cheek. "I can't fly myself, servant."Her voice still held some of that sorrow even as she teased him.

The pouty and playful face Taliesin made when she picked at his words was a thing of beauty. So adorable and beautiful at the same time. Nyx knew, without a doubt, that he would have fallen for her even if the mating bond was not playing games with his heart and mind. The Cauldron had reached into his soul and crafted her to be his perfect match. The mating bond was something secondary, a hint to let him know he had stumbled upon perfection. It was the only thing that made sense, that could convince the High Lord this was all real. Hundreds of years had passed to lead to this moment and not single creature had stirred him like Talie did.
Which made it all the more painful to push her away. While the centuries of waiting for this kind of love had made it all the sweeter, it had also tempered Nyx, made him cautious of things that seemed to good to be true. His feelings were pure and powerful, but they were feelings. Feelings were always subjective, always risky. And it was those same feelings that burned with remorse as he heard Taliesin speak.
The hurt was obvious. The way she turned away, the sound of her voice, all of it made Nyx regret his words. He should have been more gentle, more tactful in the way he had spoken. His gut reaction was to take it all back and tell Taliesin every little detail of the Court. Curse the Cauldron and this whole Court, curse his own heart for being too weak to overcome his head, and curse his mouth for speaking the words that had brought that fragile sound to his lover's voice. While Talie took her breaths, Nyx fought a war with his self-control, with the urge to whisper sweet words to soothe the hurt. Making the right choice had never felt so wrong.
Taliesin looked up again, her beautiful eyes shimmering with the pain that she was keeping down. They both hated this, it seemed. Just as he fought his anger at himself and the world, Talie fought the pain it brought her. He owed her the same kind of strength she showed. So, when she conjured a smile, Nyx did the same. When she called him servant, it felt a little more natural and the pain dulled just a touch. He could ignore how her voice sounded, how it was a little off, and make today a better day.
Nyx took the kiss on the cheek, the way it forced Talie to her tip toes, as an opportunity. He leaned into it, pressing their faces together in a silly way as his arms moved to scoop her off the ground. Light as a feather, Nyx hoisted her up and held her close to his chest.
"Of course, my Lady. I would never dream of delaying you any longer. After all, we wasted so much time in the bath."
The promise of the sky sounded much better than wallowing over things they could not fix. Nyx took the few steps to the window, the extra burden of Talie seemingly nothing to his fae strength. He stepped up onto the ledge and, with the practice of a thousand take-offs, he fell into the open air. His wings spread wide, catching the air current and putting them into a smooth glide. The strong winds that the house was named for pushed them, keeping their altitude the same. However, Nyx had made a promise. He was going to show her the city from the air. The whole city.
"Hold tight, kitten."
His words barely carried over the roar of the wind, that thick mental barrier stifling any other means of communication. Nyx tightened his arms as well, curling Talie into him even more. As he did so, his wings flapped, the rushing of air accompanying it as the glide turned into a slow climb.
Flap. Flap. Flap.
The intensity increased, their speed following. Soon, the had gone past the upper limits of the House. Then, the tips of the mountains, as they soared ever higher. Finally, the rushing faded. They leveled off. Nyx cupped his wings to hold the air, making them drift down like a snowflake. His arms relaxed and he pulled Talie away from the protection of his body.
"There it is."
Below them, even in the brightness of day, Velaris sparkled like an ocean of diamonds.
"The City of Starlight."

It seemed like her, Nyx was willing to overlook the shadow that had fallen on their day. His smile was like her own, but it was the first step to letting it go. Her own grew slightly as she had risen on the tiptoes to bestow her faithful servant a kiss. Leaning into her she was embraced by the heat that radiated from him. Where her skin had chilled in the moments apart, in the lingering sorrow, she found herself melting into him and that heat. This was...home.It felt so right and she nuzzled the softness of her cheek against the strong planes of his own with a delighted little purr that turned into a giggle as her small feet left the ground. Her feet dangled off the ground feely and where she might have wrapped them around him, teased him into a kiss, she held herself back. This time though it wasn't because of the fast fading sadness and hurt, but because they had plans. Otherwise the pair would never leave the bedroom... and while that wasn't a fate worse than death, she didneed clothing in which to go to the Summer Court.
While her legs didn't wrap around his waist, her arms curled around his neck, hands linking behind his head as she smiled up at him. Laughter filled her voice and she rubbed her nose to the hollow of his throat."Liar."The word was warm and loving. In his arms, she felt her body sway as Nyx strode purposely to the open windows that banked the long wall of her apartment. She felt it when they passed the barrier that kept the frigid air from entering the comfort of her room. Her clothing and hair were pulled at by the strong winds and Talie inhaled almost greedily. Somehow it was familiar, this air. The scent it carried. Crisp and almost electric here in the clouds.
Her eyes had fallen closed as she inhaled that fresh air but they snapped open as the pair plummeted. There was no scream, no shout of fear as the wind ripped past them. The only change was the way her face lit up and her arms were flung wide, her shoulder blades contracting as her arms pushed backwards, her slender legs pressed together. Her head fell back and her eyes closed as a brilliant smile claimed her lips. When his wings snapped open she let out a laugh and straightened, her cheeks flushed brightly from the cold and air. Arms wrapped around his neck once more as he told her to hold tight. Curling into him, her face turned towards his city.The City of Starlight. Even in the sunlight, it was beautiful.
Before her it was like the Cauldron and spilled jewels that had grown into graceful, bright buildings along the river. Brilliant white bridges connected shore to shore, allowing his people to move between the sides. The higher he took her the more it seemed she had been right. Jewels."Nyx.." The wind ripped away most of her voice, but there was a clear, longing and love for the city below them. Their accent had stopped seconds before she had breathed his name and it took everything to tear her eyes from the view below. Her eyes were bright... glassy as tears filled them."It is beautiful." The words raw and honest as not even her High Lord could keep her attention at the moment.
Her glacial blue eyes were drawn back to the city that the drifted lazily back towards. The beauty took her breath away and it made her heart hurt. She understood why it had been hidden. Why it had been shown to the mortal Queens as a sign of what was good and pure in their world. Why Nyx even now protected it ferociously.
gpt
The warmth of her voice, the way they managed to skirt the pain to the side, not forgotten but forgiven, it all made Nyx certain that he had done the right thing. If he was right, if his feelings were right, the two could move on and be stronger because of it. If he was wrong, there was no chance to fix things.
What really struck Nyx, reached into his core and twisted something, was the way that Talie reacted to their drop. Her hair whipped in the air as she leaned back, her body remembering how it felt to drop from the sky even if her mind did not. The joy on her face was new, a different species from what they found with each other. Nyx knew it perfectly because he felt the same thing as they sped down, the exhilaration doubling as they began to gain height. The smile she wore would be something he cherished forever.
Then, they looked out over the city, over another thing he had learned to cherish. This time, as Taliesin's eyes shined with the threat of tears, Nyx could not hold back his grin. Tears spilled over the beauty of the home his family fought so hard to protect, those were the kind that he could abide. He gave her time, his wings giving gentle flaps to keep them hovering high above. A long few moments passed, stretching to minutes as he simply let Talie soak in the shine of the city.
"It is beautiful. I'll have to take you out for a longer flight at night. For now, though, time to shop."
With that, Nyx smirked and tucked his wings. They tilted in the air and went into a free fall. He wanted to see that smile again as they dropped, the wind tearing by them. From this height, they dropped for a long time, with Nyx grinning like a fool again as he squeezed Talie close. Then, just as the ground began to approach at an alarming rate, his wings spread again and he steered them to glide only a few feet above the Sidra, before turning back up and landing gracefully on the bridge that connected the Rainbow and the shopping district.
"Shall we?"
Finally, and a little regretfully with that amazing little bodysuit on her, Nyx returned her to her feet and held out a hand. The High Lord flying a pretty fae around the city would not cause much of a stir. Not until the people began to learn how important she really was.
