[He lingers for a long moment like that, allowing himself both the answer he sought and a small moment of further intimacy. But, perhaps unsurprisingly, it is a short lived thing. The hands at the nape of his neck keep him from pulling back too far, but he does eventually withdraw from the kiss.]
You allowed me to sleep.
[There is something chiding in his voice, but there is a gravelly quality to it that keeps him from sounding too serious or put out. In truth, he would have liked to have slept more. Sleep was still a rare commodity, some days.
[ Rather than confining, those fingers stroke coaxingly, tangling through thick curls before they taper and give way to the thicker plating of scale along his spine, broadening as they descend between his shoulders. ]
Mm. Was that wicked of me?
[ He doesn't sound very repentant either way, looking just as drowsy and content as the dragon, before boldly leaning up to press his lips to the corner of his mouth.
Far from the initial uncertainty he'd felt the first time they'd laid together like this. ]
[That gravel in his voice turns to a growl of interest when Anduin leans in to kiss him. The boldness feels organic in a way the tepidness had not.
But yes -- it might have been considered rather wicked, in the city's opinion. Wicked, and dangerous. Who didn't love flirting with danger, just a bit?]
[Even as the affection makes something in him squirm with discomfort, Anduin's complements stroke his ego far too much. He could listen to him praise him for hours -- and the moment that thought surfaces, Wrathion is packing it away again before he can think about it too much. The discomfort never quite finds purchase as a result, one canceling out the other.
The nip, however, is returned with a small shifting of himself within the tangle of limbs.]
I would not exactly call you pious, your highness.
[Certainly not anymore, at least. His tongue drags along his own upper lip in memory. One day, he would certainly have to attempt to beat Anduin at his own game -- once he figured out how to hollow his cheeks without risking the sharp points of his teeth injuring the other man.]
[ Not that it troubles him. The Light had blessedly little jurisdiction about what goes on between a man and his bedfellows, even if that man should be a priest.
No, the inner conflict that Wrathion often inspires is far removed from his faith, far enough that he can smirk at the tease and shift his thigh, rubbing slow but idly against the inside of the dragon's own. His lips meanwhile continue their travel to the edge of Wrathion's jaw, the dense scratch of his beard, slowly nosing his way up to his ear before delicately nipping at the lobe.
Then he sighs quietly, breath warm against already warm skin and scales. ]
Here I thought my willingness to go to my knees would have convinced you otherwise.
[Ah. A pity he is such an imaginative being. Anduin mentions the act of falling to his knees, and the memory of their earlier encounter suddenly warms him. His grip on the king becomes possessive, and he can feel himself stirring again -- to his own surprise.
He never bothered to spend an extended period of time with most of his partners. No, there was too much trust involved with that. If Anduin had not managed to tire him out, it was equally likely that he would have found his way back to his own apartment after he had returned the favor.
One hand plants itself firmly upon his chest as he rolls half way on top of him, like a predator pinning prey.]
I suppose that depends on who taught you to behave in such a way.
[He cannot help his curiosity, but he has a hard time believing that Anduin had learned through his instincts on the matter, even if it was likely. He was a healer after all -- who was a better match to pick up on the physical cues of pleasure?
While he ponders on whether or not to answer his mostly unasked question, Wrathion's head lowers again, dragging both the points of his teeth and his tongue along his shoulder and eventually to his neck. It is a slower, more intimate sort of gesture.]
[ Pressed back into the sheets once more by the weight of him, Anduin deliberates before deciding to hold his tongue. There will be time to talk of Jacob, and now doesn't seem like the right moment...
Never mind that he's thoroughly distracted by the scrape of teeth against skin. After all, Wrathion isn't prone to gestures like this, letting his guard down enough to enjoy the closeness of the moment. He doesn't want to interrupt them for anything when they're already this rare, this precious.
Bad enough that Jacob has started to see the bruises and bites left behind by the dragon as a challenge that needs answering, new marks left along the inside of his thigh in answer. This is not a practice that needs encouraging. ]
Is that disapproval?
[ The words come out in a lazy murmur, eyes sliding shut as he follows the trail of Wrathion's mouth by the heat of his breath, the nerve-tickling scrape of his fangs. It's easy enough to encourage him, with the slow curl of his fingers, scraping lightly against the other's scalp. ]
If you're attempting to reprimand me, I don't think it's working as intended...
[There is a heavy pause -- not necessarily due to the fact that he notes how Anduin dodges his question, but encouraged by the statement that comes after. He pulls his mouth away from the other man's skin with a soft huff out of his nose, pushing back against the (admittedly distracting) hand still tangled in his hair.]
I am capable of taking a different approach.
[His fingers curl a bit on Anduin's chest, his weight shifting to his hip. He had been under the impression that Anduin had endured more than enough punishment, recently. And, though he might never admit it out loud, he was still particularly ruffled by the entire affair that had happened just a few days ago.
And he was beginning to think he might be riled over it for some time, until he found this 'Hellboy' and worked through it himself.]
[ Lest Wrathion become mired in those dark thoughts, there's still the steady stroke of Anduin's fingers through his hair, a semi-sleepy smile on his lips. ]
I like this approach better, I think.
[ Not that he's afraid of more. Of a 'different approach', as Wrathion had so tactfully put it. But how to put that into words? How best to tell him that he trusts him to know when to listen, when to stop, when it's too much--
Without re-opening a larger issue he's not yet confronted on his own. ]
[Indeed, it is difficult to wallow too deeply when Anduin is petting him like he is, though the pause of silence suggests that he is searching for something in his answer that he does not find. He takes that moment, tracing a pattern thoughtfully on the other man's chest until he catches himself doing it, at which point he pulls back from it.
Instead, that scaled hand plants itself on the other side of Anduin for leverage, lifting himself just enough so that he hands over the other man, rather than remaining curled at his side.]
I might have thought to return the favor.
[But the way his tongue moves across his teeth beneath his upper lip, he is questioning the wisdom of it -- which is perhaps why he's yet to migrate that way. He was not as patient as Anduin was, not for most things.
Nor is he particularly enthused about needing to ask for guidance, judging by the concentrated furrow of his brow.]
[ For some reason, it hadn't occurred to him that Wrathion might want to. Though now that he considers it -- thinks on it, imagines it vividly in his own mind -- he is not at all opposed to the idea.
If the way his face suddenly colors is any indication. ]
[There is something in the way that Wrathion's red eyes drop away from Anduin's to instead glance at some spot on the other man's chest that does the favor of answering his question.]
No.
[He'd grown enough to admit when he did not know something, even with the accompanying and unfortunate nudge to his pride. His tail drags heavily behind him, back and forth across Anduin's legs until the rest of the confession surfaces.]
[Wrathion was the epitome of grace. This was not a graceful act. His hand resumes its tracing pattern, the points of his claws slowly moving down the center of his torso. They halt just above the line of his natural waist.]
[ Because he clearly intended to, before something tripped him up. He sees it happen so often, the intent and then the backtracking, caught by the tangle of his own thoughts.
He lets his own hand drop, fingertips tracing the scaled ridge of his knuckles. ]
[He says it thoughtfully, without looking up to meet his eyes. It is not the only thing on his mind -- but, given that he mentioned his path to learning, he cannot help but be nagged by it.
Not that he is jealous. That would be ridiculous.]
[ True, it would be. And Wrathion has of course never done anything ridiculous in his life. To claim anything else would be lies and slander. ]
The one you never actually asked?
[ But it's unfair to play coy. Anduin knows it was meant as a question, even if it hadn't been phrased as one, and at last he relents with a sag of his shoulders. ]
[Unsurprising, to the point that he has to wonder why he'd hidden it to begin with. He's familiar with Jacob only in the sense that he'd spoken to the man once, and had seen him talking to Anduin on the network occasionally.
He had a hunch. It is nice to be right, on the one hand. On the other...
Well. Perhaps it was payment for withholding information about Ramir.]
I also don't want to hurt you.
[He admits that, skipping over Anduin's confession partially as a courtesy, and partially due to the fact that the withholding of information was not actually a barrier here.
[ He was, and is, and discussing the other partners they may or may not have had doesn't really seem like the ideal way to spend their time together. Especially when Anduin already suspects jealousy might still have some part to play.
Thankful that he lets the issue drop instead of pursue it further, Anduin squeezes his fingers around Wrathion's lightly. ]
You won't. I can...I can show you.
[ Though something warm curls and rolls in his stomach, suddenly restless at the idea. ]
[He has never ever wanted to be the center of attention ever in his life. The continuing slow drag of his tail is definitely not a giveaway here.
But he has offered to walk him through this, and there's nothing that piques Wrathion's interest like learning new things. He hovers over Anduin a moment longer, letting his eyes drift back to his face finally to hold that stare of interest, before he eventually moves himself further down the bed and pulls his hand away from his stomach. It joins its brother against his thighs.]
Alright. Show me.
[He remembers some of what Anduin had done initially, despite the fact that he'd hidden his face for half of it. There is a curiosity in how his dominant hand smooths its scaled texture against his skin, aware by now that it was something he was fond of despite how strange it must have felt.
If he was going to touch him this way, better that he grow used to it.]
Wetting his lips, Anduin props himself up slightly to watch as Wrathion descends, drawing his own legs apart to give him room to settle. Though it does also give a lovely view of a healing bite bruise along the inner curve. ]
It's best lead up to. Starting slow, ah...about where your hands are now would suffice.
[ As he'd done to start. Kissing along his hip, his thighs, drawing out the eventual moment where his mouth would land where it was wanted most.
Though Wrathion's never been a particularly patient sort, he is in fact getting every last ounce of Anduin's attention. ]
[He spots that bruise, and gives it a momentary glance. There's some distant thought that he never voices, instead allowing himself to be distracted by the instructions he is given.
He's gentler this time, as opposed to the last time he'd had his mouth near Anduin's legs. There is a deliberate way he rolls himself, lifting one of the other man's legs to rest over him as he curls in closer. It offers him the perfect angle to press his lips in on his thigh, and follow with a slow drag of his tongue.
Being aware of his own impatience has its perks -- it means when he is slow on purpose, it is with a certain focus and deliberation. His free hand, the one not supporting the thigh he gives his attentions to, smooths itself across his stomach.
His bicep brushes briefly against Anduin's cock as it goes along.]
[ Oh, well. He might not need as much instruction as all that.
Anduin lets out a soft noise, fingers curling as the warmth of the dragon's tongue laps across his skin, followed by the gentle tickle of his breath. More telling is the way his cock responds to the attention close at hand, hardening as he -- purposefully? -- brushes against him with that reach towards his stomach. ]
Like that, yes. And then gradually, you move inward...
[ And then he loses his mind, probably. Because watching him is wrecking merry havoc on keeping his thoughts coherent.
It's easier to show him. To lower one hand to trail his fingers along the path to take. The inner crease of his thigh, before ghosting feather-light up the shaft. ]
[[There is a purposeful way in which he delays following the trail of Anduin's hand, a laziness in how he pays his skin special attention. But eventually, he makes a show of how his attention is pulled by the path taken.
He feels him twitch against his arm, and a smirk pulls at his lips as he glances upward. It takes a bit of shifting for him to move his tongue from the inside of Anduin's thigh to draw a line up his shaft.
He can already spot hints of Anduin's distraction upon his face -- it encourages him into experimentally swirling his tongue around the head of his cock. His nails bury themselves into his thighs, unable to suppress the way his impatience threatens to take the reins from him.]
