Gentle impulsion
It's been a long time since he's done this. In some sense he's never done this.
He's had Eostre bound, blindfolded. He's been bound by her in his turn. And there had been the afternoon in her hut, with the belt, with Tom on his knees. And long before that there had been other times, times with a lot less warmth and a lot more disconnect. They hadn't been bad, not really, but they hadn't been close to this.
Or to what he imagines this could be.
It's close to half an hour since he'd left Tom in the compound. He's sitting on his bed, facing the door and waiting. Next to him is a coil of rope, his belt, his hunting knife. He's not sure what he'll use. Maybe he'll use none of it, this time. But he wants Tom to see them, as best he can in the flickering light of the two candles burning in saucers on the makeshift table beside the bed. If he doesn't use them, he wants Tom to be aware that he can. Anytime.
He realizes that it's a lot, that they haven't done much in this vein since the first baby steps that one afternoon weeks ago, that Tom might simply turn and leave if it's too much.
It's a risk he's willing to take, now. He curls his hands into loose fists and waits.

He's about to be cruel, he thinks. Maybe very much so.
"You like this?" he gasps, pulling back and licking his swollen lips as his hand gropes and jerks. "Tell me. Tell me, you little bitch."
no subject
He sobs quietly, choking on it. But he does manage to nod.
no subject
At least one of them should be.
It's too easy to get lost in just looking at this. The candles turn everything warm gold. Tom's back curves in a graceful line when he arches, the muscles of his shoulders standing out in abnormally sharp relief. He's seen him from this angle so many times now.
The first time he'd looked like fucking marble. Perfect. Pristine.
He'd taken care of that, hadn't he?
"Get up." His hand slips away from Tom's cock and lands hard on his ass again. "On your knees. Don't make me tell you twice."
no subject
Which he doesn't, not even now, scrambling down onto his knees, so hard he's aching, so naked that he's forgotten how to blush. He closes his eyes and opens them, looking up at Mike, still fully clothed, perfect. Cold now, but he knew the other side enough to keep any fears locked firmly away.
no subject
But like this he can also see his face, and the look on it, the pleading, the sheer, achingly open trust... It brings all the gentleness back. He reaches out with one hand and slowly combs his fingers through hair that's damp with sweat. With the other hand he fumbles the button of his jeans open and starts to pull his zipper down.
"God, I love your mouth," he breathes, smudging his thumb against swollen lips.

He still can't really believe this.
"Christ," he whispers, sounding nothing but reverent.

He doesn't ask permission. He pulls his fingers away, tugs his cock free of his pants, gently pull's Tom's head forward with a hand at the back of his skull.
He doesn't give any instruction. Tom should know what he wants.
no subject
He moans at the familiar heat and weight and taste, moving his tongue in slow sweeps along the bottom of his dick. He takes a moment to enjoy the moment, opening his eyes to see the reaction on Mike's face.
no subject
Tom's taking a moment and he lets him take it, feeling the heat surge up under his ribcage as he holds him there, gentle and deeply firm.
"Yeah," he breathes, a little strained. "Fuck, that's it."
no subject
Leaning forward, he almost choked, trying to take him too deep, too far. Still regaining his balance, his eyes watered slightly and he looked up at Mike as if in apology, resuming his earlier rhythm.
no subject
It doesn't belong there. That's exactly what he'd wanted. When Hobbes slips back into the shallower rhythm Mike's hand tightens on the back of his head and pushes him deeper, forcing him into the new pattern.
"Take it," he says, close to a growl. "I know you can."
no subject
So Hobbes trusts Mike's possibly misplaced confidence, and took him, still gaggging, but slowly, slowly getting used to it. Adapting. He'd spent most of his life being told what to do by large men, drill sergeants, who'd screamed at him and pushed him and took joy in torturing him, but they'd never looked down at him with a look like the one Mike's giving him now.
no subject
"Good," he murmurs, his head falling loosely back again, and with the pleasure he feels that deeper rush of pride. In Hobbes. In what he can do. It, and everything else, pushes him closer, until it's all he can do to keep his hips still, and he's pulling in shallow breath through his parted lips.
no subject
He can do this. He always had it in him, in the end. It's a frame of mind he's getting used to. Looking at the from the outside, Mike would seem the focus, the control. But go deeper, father down, falling through layers, and Tom is at the core, given over but still, on his knees, in control. Loved.
When Mike went still he looked up at him with concern in his eyes, worried he'd done something wrong.
no subject
But in the end maybe even he doesn't have any say.
"Don't stop," he growls, forcing his eyes open and staring down, the hand on the back of Tom's head tightening. "Christ, don't you... don't you fucking stop."
It's an order. Underneath it is a plea.
no subject
He rolls his tongue, bobs his head, does everything that Mike ever showed him, which was all he could do.
no subject
But it's not just a lesson for Tom. This has to flow both ways. He has to realize that at some point it isn't even up to him anymore.
"Shit, I'm close," he grates, still looking down, lips parted and wet. It comes out less as a warning... and more as a promise.
no subject
Everything. This. He pushes forward, taking Mike as deep as he can, and makes another noise, harsh, in the back of his throat.
no subject
This is cruel. Not even necessarily this, but what's following it. What this is is a demonstration, that there's no place for pride here, that any hold on it has to be released. He loves Hobbes more than his own life, but that doesn't preclude him being an object. An object of pleasure, yes, but an object all the same.
He wrenches in a breath, yanks Tom away from him with fingers tight in his hair, and as he starts to shudder helplessly he grasps himself with the other hand and spills, hot and sticky, onto Tom's lips and chin and cheeks.
He stares down as it happens, and even through the faint stab of guilt, the sheer naked perfection of it steals what breath he has left.
no subject
no subject
Fuck, he's wanted this for so long. And felt sure that he shouldn't want it. Felt that it's close to blasphemy.
It still feels like that, a little.
It starts to fade. He can open his eyes again. Slowly his hand loosens, combs forward through Tom's hair and trails over his cheekbone to his chin, slicking his fingers. He stays that way for a second, breathing hard, and then steps back, falling onto the mattress, sitting up with his fingers moving up to his parted lips. Tasting himself.
no subject
He leaned forward without exactly moving, trying to get close as he could.
no subject
But it feels right.
He reaches over to the table without looking and his hand finds the handle of the knife. The blade shines redly in the candlelight, like he hasn't cleaned it since its last use. But he has. It's pristine.
He reaches down with his other hand and pulls Tom's wrists up, sliding the knife under them and between his forearms. Held like that the point of the blade just pricks the skin of Tom's sternum. And he holds it there, not quite breaking the skin.
But close. God, so close. His mouth almost waters at it.
