[ As the kiss continues, something bubbles inside of him. It's a comfort, perhaps, or a warmth, something that makes him sink into this moment and feel less on edge and unsure of himself. Phainon isn't normally the type of man who gives into his worries (he is more likely to fight out the thoughts in a spar, or train to the point of exhaustion), but with nothing else to do, it is hard to ignore.

Cipher keeps kissing him, drawing more and more out of him as he yearns for him, fingers chasing her warmth. They trail along the bony shape of her spine, across shoulders lighter than his own, before he holds her closer, draws her into his embrace, and blinks back the tears that burn at his skin.

It feels like he is bleeding from an open wound, and all he can do is let her take, soothe, and hold him.

When he pauses, breathing sharply through his mouth, he leaves kisses against her jaw. His voice is low when he speaks, something like unhurried desire settling into his gut. ]

Will you let me take care of you?

[ She continues to sink, especially as his hands roam her body, but then his question (request? desire? what is it? it tastes familiar but she's never been good at putting a name to her own feelings) pulls her back above water.

Cipher stills. She blinks down at Phainon, a measured silence, before delicately shifting so she's fully atop him. She straddles his waist, bracing herself with her palms flat on his chest. ]

Is that what you want?

[ For as much as her heart is thundering in her chest and she keeps glancing at his lips, Cipher won't make this easy for Phainon. She wants to hear him say it. ]

Prove to me that you've really learnt something.

It is.

[ Wanting something and being selfish is so difficult for Phainon even now, but desire is a more secure thing. Now that he has tripped and stumbled into using his body to please others, hands calloused from fighting now soft on skin, he has a guiding light. He can manage this.

Leaning up, he pushes himself to meet her mouth again, to slide their lips together and bite at her, to hum against her skin. One hand rises, deliberate now, to brush against her waist, her thigh, to her breast, deliberate, thumb stroking there.

When Phainon moves his mouth to kiss along her jaw, he speaks in a low, soft whisper. ]

I want to touch you until you are filled with need. Until your claws sink into me and you demand more. Then I want you to put your thighs either side of my head and let me pleasure you.

[ Cipher watches him, looks Phainon directly eye-to-eye, and searches. It takes everything to ignore how his tone makes her shudder, her breathing uneven, in favor of looking for honesty in that promise of pleasure.

If this is what honesty looks like on him... ]

Unfair. [ She whimpers by his ear. How is he, really, so good at everything.

Cipher juts her chest out, into his touch, encouraging. She's not wearing anything complicated today; just a simple, loose sweater and shorts since it's starting to warm up. The hood she normally wears has been fashioned into a bow tied around one of her belt loops: an accent piece so she can keep it close without obscuring her face for the cameras. Phainon will have easy access to whatever he wants of her. ]

Then, yes, Titans - I can do that. [ She moves so they're kissing again, so she can bite at his lips more needy this time, uncaring if she's too rough or draws blood. He wants claws, so she'll give him claws and teeth. It's only fair when he's already started a slow fire in her chest. ]

[ This is him being honest.

This is him asking for what he wants.

Phainon doesn't want to think about the horrors of the cycles, the pain, the hurt, all the nightmares that haunt him. He wants to focus on Cipher, on the pleasure that he can bring her, taking care of her, doing everything within his power to bring her joy. Doing this will make them both feel good, but it will also bring her ever closer to her own wish.

He wants that for her. He wants her wish to come true.

The kiss grounds him, and he moans against her lips, drawing her closer. His hands go to her sweater, gripping the hem of it to lift it off, to tug it away so that he can make good on his word. His mouth fingers her neck as soon as the kiss breaks, and he scrapes his teeth over her skin. He feels harried, now, desperate - he wants this and her pleasure, more than he can say.

He wants her. ]

Tell me how it feels.

[ They are, truly, two leaves from the same laurel. So similar in their avoidance: Cipher doesn't want to think about any of it, either. Her wish is ever present in her mind, but she doesn't want to think about what it took to get here or what it means. How she could still fail and let Aglaea slip through her grasp again, and again.

Phainon is present. A physical force beneath her, handling her. Really wanting her. A shocking thing to realize. ]

Feels good. [ She pants. ] You can be - You can take more. Don't be so gentle.

[ Be rougher with her. She won't break. They aren't in one of the cycles; he won't hurt her. ]

[ Whatever she wants, he is willing to give.

Knowing that he is pleasing her, that she feels good because of him, is all that Phainon needs. He leans in to press his face into her neck, to chase the curve of her body with his kisses, and when he meets her collarbone, he sinks his teeth in, a little harder, enough to bruise, to leave his mark.

If anyone sees, they will know he was here. They will recognise that Phainon took care of her. It's a touch possessive, but not because he wishes to own her or claim her - but because she is someone important to him, special to him.

Tugging her closer, he lets his mouth keep going, hand rising to her breast, to squeeze gently, to chase a nipple, thumb pressing over it. ]

Anything you want.

[ The mouth will keep going, until all of her is bared, until he can get his mouth on her chest and bite there, too. ]

Ah! [ Each bite feels like a brand, radiating warmth and leaving a pleasant tingle in its wake. Cipher wants all of them; loves wearing proof that she's wanted, desired, on her skin.

He draws more gasps out of her with each bite, too. Especially once he reaches her chest. She bows her shoulders, breasts squeezing together, and that's when she finally digs her claws in to where they're anchored over Phainon's shoulders.

She manages a tut. ] What did I say, Phain-ahn? I want you to want. I'll feel good regardless. [ Her tail twitches, erratic. ]

Or do you actually want me to boss you around?

I wouldn't mind it.

[ Phainon has found he enjoys being told what to do. It might be a holdover from his issues with believing he deserves anything, or it might be that he is naturally inclined to do as he's told, but it thrills him all the same. A part of him thinks he'd like it even more of if it was Cipher, knowing he was doing something to please a person who means so much to him.

Face in her chest, he flicks his tongue over a nipple, scraping his teeth, enjoying the warmth of her, and her soft skin. ]

I want you to bite me. I want to bite you. I want you to feel how much I...

[ Care about you. Adore you. Want to keep you safe, and loved.

He groans, rolling his hips a little, hand sliding down to sink under her shorts and squeeze her ass. ]

[ With his face buried in her chest, she can curl over him. All too gentle, she kisses the crown of his head.

But then she's dragging her hands up his neck, fisting and pulling the short hair at his nape. She's back at his ear, breath still coming out ragged and uneven. ] Then bite me. Cute little puppy. Bite me as hard as you need.

[ Whatever he needs to convey what he wants. How he feels. She'll take all of it.

And for him, she'll bite. She rocks into his hips, but keeps her focus on chewing him up. She nips at his earlobe but really sinks her teeth into his neck, along one of the uneven ray of his sun tattoo after another. ]

Pull my tail.

[ The mix of something gentle and something demanding is enough for Phainon to focus on the moment, on what he had promised to do, which is pleasure her. The soft kiss she gives him makes him smile, briefly, before his attention returns to his main focus.

The pull to his hair is good, and keeps him settled as his mouth continues to explore, scraping his teeth over her skin. Absently, he wonders if she would be cross with him for leaving a bruise on one of her breasts, biting a mark there, worshipful. She tells him to bite, and so...

Leaning in, he lets his teeth sink into the flesh of her left breast, biting hard enough to leave a bruise, to leave something for her to remember later, moaning against her skin.

At the same time, his fingers slide around to wrap around her tail, moaning as her bite comes at the same time that he pulls it, muffled by the hot skin as he leans up to bite at her neck as hard as he had the rest of her. ]

[ The combination of his bite and pulling her tail has Cipher seeing stars. She moans, loud and wet against his skin, and grinds down again as if he actually pushed her into him rather than pulled.

It feels good. Like a shot of adrenaline right up her spine. Except it settles low in her gut, stirred in with the already present warmth there. The pleasure just keeps building. Phainon's too good at this. What all was he worried about before?? ]

Again. Just like that, 's perfect.

[ She bites again, as if to encourage him. ]

[ The sound she makes is enough to leave Phainon feeling as if he is going insane, such an incredible sound that he wants more of. He likes the way that she bites him, her fangs sinking into him, as if begging for their shared blood to rise to the surface, and it has him gasping against her skin. His fingers trace the thin line of her tail, before he goes to her shorts and pulls at them.

It's tempting to just rip them off her, but he can see her scolding him for that choice.

Instead, he pushes them down, to get them out of the way, with or without her help. At the same time, he nuzzles into her neck, sucking marks against her skin, leaving echoes of his touch and his affection wherever he can. Anyone who sees either of them later will have an idea of what happened, but they won't know. Only they will.

Moving, then, is easy. One hand stays around her tail, to pull and bully her as much as she might want, while the other slips between her legs, to nudge them open and start to learn all the things she likes the most. ]

[ If they weren't coming off the high of an overly emotional conversation, she'd find him ripping her shorts off very sexy. But, right now, she appreciates the care he takes. It matches the mood, despite how frantic their actions have become.

Everything is still steeped in care. Intimacy. This is something they can only experience with each other. It really is special.

Cipher mewls. She finally eases away from Phainon's neck, but hugs him tighter in exchange. ] Easy. Don't touch directly. Not yet.

[ Her clit. Unless he wants her to cum too fast. Which is an option, but. ]

Not yet. That’s for my mouth.

[ It’s good to have the warning that she might be a little sensitive, though.

Phainon is a little less experienced in this than he has been the other things he’d tried here, but he’s not planning on letting that stop him. His fingers brush against Cipher’s inner thighs gently, teasing, wanting to see how she reacts to touches so close to where it would feel the best. He’s willing to do whatever it takes, to put the work in to learn, unashamed.

As he leans in to kiss her against, he hums, fingers curled around her tail, stroking the soft fur there. Absently, he wonders about her ears, too. ]

Will you tell me what you do like? My fingers first, and then…

[ He wants to devour her so badly. ]

Fingers first. Pet like you would any other pussy... cat.

[ She just can't help herself. But it feels good to be able to joke at this time, too. Another aspect that makes this special.

Her legs part wider under his gentle teasing, no resistance. There's no reason to even play pretend when it's clear she wants him just as much. It's clear in her heartbeat, still beating rabbit-quick beneath her skin, and how she can feel her own wetness now just inches and one thin layer of fabric away from his hands. ]

Then I sit on your face like you want, and you go slow still but swallow down everything I give you.

Cipher.

[ Phainon says her name with fondness, though, despite the poor joke. She is who she is, and he adores her for it. There are so many memories of fleeting time they had together, and he was never able to share just how much he trusted and cherished her, too.

Still leaving kisses against her neck, his fingers go where commanded. At first all he does is tease a little, pressing two against where her underwear is damp, a tease he’s not able to resist, but he’d sworn to himself to be dedicated to her pleasure.

She wants fingers, so that’s what she will get.

Phainon pushes all the fabric aside and curls his fingers up, teasing her gently. He watches her face now, eyes dark and filled with want, until he finally gives in and allows her what she wants, fingers an offering to her pleasure, to the soft sound she makes when he touches her. She’s wet, and warm, and he thinks that if this is how good she feels on his fingers, he’ll lose himself when he has her on his tongue. ]

[ There's a tease on the tip of her tongue. A coy "you love me!" Instead, her peal of laughter trails off into another moan.

(probably for the better)

The more he touches, the more she sings a sweet song of "ah, ah, ahs" and pretty mewls for him.

To further reward him, Cipher leans back in to return mouthing at his neck. She laps at the bruises already there, bites again to muffle a particularly loud whine, rinse and repeat. All the while, her core tightens like a coil.

She tilts her hips to ease the glide of his fingers, chasing her pleasure. ]

[ The problem is that he does, he does love her, and while it might not be a deep, all-encompassing romantic love, it is real love all the same. Millions of lifetimes devoted to her happiness, and the happiness of their fellow heirs, means that he can't not love her; even without the cycles, he'd choose to cherish her in this way all the same.

The soft noises she makes for him, because of him, stir him; his cock is already hard, but it feels more intense from the way she bites, from how she whines, how she tilts her hips just-so. It makes Phainon desperate, but not for himself - for her, and her alone, his devotion real and clear.

Sliding his fingers around, he wastes no time. He can tell she's wet, can tell she wants this, knows that she doesn't mind the sweet burn of ache; he presses two fingers into her, careful all the same, giving her something to rock over and ride as he leans up to bite her neck again. ]

[ He loves her, and it doesn't matter what kind of love it is. It's a love that she reciprocates, but may not be able to stomach on top of everything else at this moment. They can have another moment, at another time, when Cipher doesn't feel like she can feel Phainon's fingers in her lungs.

She may... prefer the more delicate touch of a woman, but she will always appreciate how much bigger men's fingers tend to be. Thicker. Just two fingers and the stretch is already a pleasant sear. She rocks her hips harder, more insistent, fucking herself on his fingers while he bites, and she bites, and

That coil inside her twists impossibly tight, but it's not quite enough. Cipher wraps her arms around Phainon's shoulders, tight enough to smother, and her nails dig into his skin. A different kind of bite. ]

Phainon, I can't -

[ There will be time for more talking later, more discussion, maybe even more of this, idle kisses and sweet moments as they grow more and more familiar with each other. It's strange to think he knows her so well, trusts her so deeply, when the time they have spent together has been far less than other Heirs. The mantle she had to carry was a heavy one, too, wasn't it?

None of those weights matter when they're here together, watching her rock her hips over his fingers, moaning for more, taking and taking. It's what she deserves, what he wants to give her, and Phainon is obsessed with the notion of making sure she has every single desire she could wish for at her heels.

Even if he can't grant her one wish, he can try and make the others come true.

Groaning softly, he leans up to kiss her, a drag of his mouth and a bite against her lip, before he leans back. He goes further and further, fingers still rocking into her, bright eyes glued to her face. ]

You want my mouth? Take it.

[ It's almost embarrassing how much she feels the loss of Phainon's mouth and his warmth. His fingers are still making a mess of her, but immediately she craves the presence, the intensity, that was his body so close to hers. Cipher chases him down with a whine.

Her hands naturally slide down his shoulders with his descent, making it easy to take purchase of his front. So she can both push him down and grab at him like he'll slip from her fingers.

Then, she's thanking Zagreus for all the running she's done for once, because crawling the short distance and keeping herself positioned over the heat of Phainon's mouth is also easy.

He looks good like this. Eyes dark and drunk on her pleasure. This is the Phainon she wants to see more of. ]

Touch yourself, too. [ She's panting still. ] But don't you dare come without me.

[ Phainon enjoys the way she is so quick to move her body over his own, to take what she wants. He lies before her as a vessel of her pleasure, to give her anything and everything she might desire, so watching her be so open and brazen is alluring in a way that he can't find the words for.

As soon as she is settled over him he is quick to go to town, to enjoy himself, leaning up to drag his tongue over her. Phainon is tempted to deliberately avoid her clit to tease her and make her whine, but he wants her purrs more than he wants anything else, more of those sweet, needy sounds.

One arm holds onto her thigh, nails digging in, as the other slides down between them to get a hand under his own clothes, to wrap his fingers around his cock. He moans against her, shuddering from it, drunk on the sensation of fucking her with his tongue and rocking his own hand into his palm.

It's decadent, in a way, but isn't that a good thing? ]

[ It is. This is the kind of decadence she likes. Not the shitty chandeliers, and pretentious finger foods that were present at the ball. That wasn't for them. It all felt hollow, and this, here, is all for Phainon and Cipher. The cameras may still be watching, but this decadence is theirs to enjoy.

Of course, she's not thinking about any of that while he eats her out like it's his one purpose in life. She can only think of her mounting pleasure, heightened more by the sound of Phainon touching himself like she told him to. His obedience is thrilling.

Cipher rocks the same rhythm against his mouth, her hands now in his hair both to ground herself and as another expression of her pleasure. When he fucks into her or works her clit, she pulls at his hair, delirious and no longer gentle. ]

Close- Close. Oh, fuck, Phainon-

[ His own pleasure is secondary to hers, even with a hand around his cock, his hips chasing the burn of it. It doesn't feel like quite enough, a little oversensitive from how long he has been on edge, bubbling as he takes care of her, as he worships her, shows his affection and warmth without pause.

The way Cipher rocks over him, against him, makes him want to double down and give her it all, to show her just how much he cares about her. The pull to his hair, harsher and more violent than before, leaves Phainon moaning, and she might notice that under her touch and against her thighs he is getting hotter, warmer, powers awakened from the intimacy and the sex.

He's trying to contain it, he always does, but the sheer amount of Coreflames that burn bright in him are hard to swallow.

Turning his head, he lets her use him, his tongue focussing on her clit, now, listening to what he has been told, wanting to hear her come for him. ]
