The other simpered. “You should know very well that I adore you.”His hand, which was gripping a knife, halted midair before it cut down the veggies. Xavier looked aside with a slight irk in the corner of his eyes, sensing other corny words to escape from between his lips. It earned a laugh from Sylus.Sylus took his hand and pressed the tip of the knife to his chest. Xavier, somewhat alarmed, pulled his hand back but Sylus' grip only tightened on the wrist, keeping him in place.“You—”“With my heart in your hand and my body at the bottom of your feet.” His red eyes seemed to glimmer under the light; vicious and unnerving.Xavier didn't know how the conversation turned this way. He spat, “I don't need to be put on a pedestal. That's the last thing—”Sylus cut him with a cackle. “It’s not that you are perfect and without fault. I simply allow you to be ugly with me. I can take all of the devastating elements from you and absolve it with the drop of my blood or the absence of my breath.”Full story.

Your breath mingled as your tongues twisted and twirled in each other’s mouths. You could care less about making noises. Not when you needed his mouth against yours and you needed him to keep going. His hands, like vines, roamed around your body with feverish haste. They stretched to your lower back, taking roots in your haunches as he lifted you to the sink.Sat by the edge, you wrapped your legs around his waist, earning his soft grunt in your mouth. He pulled away. You tightened your arms around his neck, making sure he remained close.“Tell me how far you want me to go.”You didn't want to say it. You wished Rafayel would stop asking and start leading. But, this consent-required play was another form of dominance. Putting you in place with the humility of verbalising your needs, stripping you without undressing, and exposing the desire of your flesh.You stroked his cheeks, mimicking the way he moved his brush against the canvas that had become a familiar sight for you. You know you were past the point of return. There was no returning when your body craved his warmth.“You should ask me how deep I want you to go.”Full story.
