[The gaze that meets Nyx's demands is intense, focused, but oddly not challenging as so many of the gazes they've exchanged tonight have been. Regis is used to having demands made of him, though certainly not in this pleasurable a manner. Manner aside, there are still two outcomes; he can outright deny the demand or he can accede to it in the fashion he chooses. In the political field, the important thing is that both outcomes give him control.

Here? Here he has no wish to force Nyx to bow to his control. The very opposite is true, in fact, and the answer he finally gives to that demand follows on heels of a confident smile.]


As you wish, Wild One.

[The words are barely out of his mouth when Regis pulls Nyx into a kiss, all tongue, teeth and distraction while he shifts his arm to allow himself to press his fingers in deeper and at a better angle. Despite his outward calm, that whine absolutely shattered out what little patience he has left, and it's only a matter of time before the last bit of his control follows with it.]

[Earlier in the night there is no doubt a joke about the recovery period of young men would have followed that statement, but it's not a joke that comes to Regis' lips now. Instead, it's a desperately relieved sigh caused by the rest of his control finally slipping away. So many of his early memories are of his father drilling into his head how important always keeping control was. Even when he hit his teens and began rebelling in his own way, the control was never far away, a shadow constantly lingering over him waiting to assert itself again.

Perhaps that is why the fire leaps so high in that moment, shattering away any of the shadow that dares remain. There will be soot to clean from the mantle and grate tomorrow, but nothing flammable the flames lick at actually catches. The same holds true for the thin decorative candles that are scattered throughout the room. They burst into flame so hot most snap at the middle, wax and ash all that is left by the time they hit the carpet.

Regis doesn't acknowledge the flame around them, groaning lowly into Nyx's mouth even as he brings the hand he's using to stroke them upward with more pressure than before, ending with a sharp twist and then pulling away. If what's left of his shirt wasn't ruined before, the fact he drags his fingers over it to dry them before he takes a firm grip on Nyx's hip, seals its fate. Regis' other hand meets the Glaive's backward motion once more before he pulls away, repeating the actions he just finished with his previous hand so his grip doesn't slip when he adjusts their position.

The whole time, Regis' lips don't move far from Nyx's, the words whispered against them no order, but a soft needy plea.]


Do not deny me.

[It's not just one voice that rises to twine with the crack of lightning, but two, and in that moment the world shifts, slides together in a way that leaves Regis unable to tell where one sensation starts and another ends. After so many years of numbed feelings, it's like all his nerves have been blasted open again. Heat and tightness becomes one with the pressure of air so thick with magic that it creates its own breeze, lifting, falling, spinning around them creating the very storm whose eye they had rested in not long ago.

Regis both feels and doesn't feel it as his nails sink into Nyx's hips before he drags them up along the Glaive's sides and then across his shoulder blades, fingers finally stopping as they fold over his shoulders and draw him down close enough for their lips to meet again, coming together just as their body's have.

A sharp nip to Nyx's lower lip, a low rumbled groan breathed into his mouth, and then Regis rocks up into the body above him encouraging the Glaive to move.]

[There's something grounding in how Nyx's slumps into him. Not that it lessens the sensations running through Regis, but it anchors them within the two of them again, separating the feelings from the wild magic that spins around them. The nails that dig into his shoulders act as another anchor and he leans up into them, chasing the sensation until a different one draws his attention away.

Nyx is trembling under his hands. Regis is sure he's doing the same, but he can't tell for certain because he's too caught up being lost in that simple reaction. The shiver of muscle and shift of skin holds his full attention until his Glaive bears down and finally starts moving, then Regis' eyes find Nyx's and hold them, watching how the color and focus changes as he creates the rhythm between them.

At some point Regis begins whispering breathless words of encouragement, praise, and more than a few colorful curses that Nyx will likely be surprised to be hearing once his mind returns enough to think on such things. The words are another grounding method as the rolling pace that has been set blends and overlaps with the magic once more.

Between the words, he turns litters Nyx's neck with kisses and bites, one hand eventually slipping between them to return its attentions to the Glaive's dripping cock.]

[It's almost impossible for Regis to keep himself from just letting go and following Nyx into release. Between the way his Glaive's body tightens around him, to the warmth that spills over his fingers, from the sting of nails on his skin to the sound of his name on Nyx's lips, all of it pulls him to teeter on the edge, but he knows if he goes over he will miss the very thing he chases even harder than he chases his own release.

For reasons he's never been able to properly explain to himself, Regis has always needed to see that moment of complete release as it passes over his lover's face. The reactions of the body have never been enough. He's always sought that one last piece.

And this, if he had missed this, Regis would never have forgiven himself.

It's almost as if Nyx takes flight. Despite normally being so guarded, he opens up completely and soars free of all the things the world has thrown at him to bind him to the earth. Even when he starts to come down, he still seems to float, his attachment to the ground tenuous at best despite the fact their bodies are still intertwined and moving slowly together.

Regis moves then hand not still slowly working over Nyx's cock so he can brush his fingers across his lover's cheek.]

So beautiful.

[For all that Nyx is floating, Regis is very grounded, walking an edge and knowing he will soon be falling. He looks forward to the fall--anticipation to make the moment better. Each lick and nip to his hand raising the edge higher, each clench and roll building to make the fall longer. It's hearing his name in that voice and in that tone, the hope and then invitation that come along with it that finally causes him to lose the edge. Regis cries out, thrusting up to meet Nyx, free hand finding purchase on the Glaive's arm and holding tight as he falls.

There have been times--increasing over the years--where Regis feels far too keenly that he is falling--losing himself to the magic of the Crystal--but the loss that comes with this fall, this erasure of everything in heat and light, is freeing not frightening. His body shudders with how strongly it needs that moment of nothing, for how hard it struggles to hold on for a little longer, for how it gradually releases that hold and lets his mind slowly slide back into reality.

It's not his own body he feels first, but Nyx's still moving slowly over him. Regis releases the tight grip he has on the Glaive's arm, slightly trembling fingers running over marks he knows vaguely, in the back of his mind, will be bruises in the morning. A few more to add to the collection.

A soft, contented sound slips from his lips and he finally opens eyes he has no idea when he closed, hazy green searching out silvered blue. When he finds them, he leans forward to press a gentle kiss against the lips not far below, speaking softly, once he pulls away, two simple words.]


Thank you.

[A soft hum is the only answer Nyx gets at first, Regis' hand sliding into the Glaive's hair, cupping the back of his head in an effort to keep him close.]

Did I warn you I am terribly sappy after sex? You're going to laugh at me.

[The words are barely a murmur, almost lost as Regis leaves a trail of gentle kisses along Nyx's jaw and down his neck. He's sappy and also a cuddler and no one would blame Nyx if he begins to think that Regis may be using the latter of that pair of things to distract him from the answer to the question. Eventually, though, Regis does settle his head against his Glaive's shoulder with a soft sigh and softer words.]

Do you know how long it's been since I've been able to let everything go even for just a few moments? You've given me such a great gift. Saying 'thank you' is the very least I can give you in return.

[Nyx's response causes a tired, but content smile to cross Regis' face. Already, there is a particularly persistent part of his mind that is attempting to slip back into the 'whys' and 'what ifs' of this whole thing, something Regis is nowhere near ready to get back to, so with all the practice he's had at locking away certain thoughts, he locks those away now. If he must linger on all those little worries more, then he will do it later when he is not so warm and content under Nyx's body.]

You owe me a new chair now, you realize.

[There's mischief in the half-lidded look Regis turns at Nyx then.]


There is no way I'm going to be able to nap in this one anymore.

[Though he objectively knows that there is no way he is going to be able to see the back of the chair without shifting them both more than he wants to, Regis still tilts his head back, gaze turning upward in a halfhearted attempt before he chooses to focuses on his Glaive's soot-covered fingers instead.]

That first idea has more merit than the second. There are good memories tied to it now. It would be a shame just to burn it.

[Regis will have to make sure whichever of the servants deal with his quarters today are paid extra for the work. They've made a fair mess of the whole room, even beyond what he's done on the occasions when nightmares woke his magic before they woke him.]

As comfortable as this is, we best move to the bed before we settle more.

[Otherwise, he has a feeling they are both just going to sleep where they are no matter how bad an idea that is.]

I discarded wisdom quite a while ago.

[Lap freed, if regretfully so, Regis pulls himself up in the chair, wincing when stiffness in his knee makes it clear he's not going to be standing unaided for a few minutes yet. He sighs then, expanding on that joking answer though he doesn't really want to.]


Stay for a little longer with me if you feel you cannot spend the whole evening. There should be towels and washcloths set out by the bathroom sink if you wish to grab them.

[They both could use a little cleaning up before they settle into bed for however long Nyx feels it prudent to remain.]

[Regis can't help but chuckle at that.]

You, my dear coeurl are giving me far too much credit. I dare say I discarded my wisdom long before that. If you ask the right people, they may even tell you I discarded it back before you were even born.

[Clarus and Cor have stories, Nyx. So many stories.]


I don't suppose you have practiced your warping by throwing yourself off the top of the Citadel now, have you?

[Fortunately, Regis is in a good enough mood that he doesn't argue, though he is very careful not to lean anymore weight on Nyx than necessary. They really don't need to end this night in a pile on the floor. He has a feeling neither of them will be getting up off it for a while if they do.

Once Nyx returns from the bathroom, Regis holds out his hand for the towel.]

I take it you found everything all right?

[personal profile] kingkingcxiii 2019-08-04 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
I get the distinctive feeling I should argue against part of that, but I don't really want to.

[Once more Regis gives into Nyx's insistence, letting the Glaive do has he wishes, groaning contentedly into the kiss when it comes, settling his head on his shoulder once it ends.]


No, you've done a very pleasantly thorough job.

[His voice is soft as sleepiness starts to sneak its way in.]

Now come to bed so I can fall asleep on you.
