The Consort

The Last Night

My explanation of the deal I had stricken with Cronus did not, in a word, please Thanatos. But the confirmation of what we had both begun to understand knocked the wind from us. Thanatos stood by the bay window, ruffling his hair in concentration before he turned, a slow smile creeping up his features as he looked at me. 

I petted the area of the bed beside me, and he almost dove into the covers, easy pulling me to his chest, letting me hear his heartbeat for several seconds as his fingers gently curled a piece of my hair. Stretching upwards, I laid my lips upon his, over and over again until his fingers wound tightly in my hair and pulled me closer. 

His weight beared down on me, pushing me into the bed as he stationed himself on top. His knees parted mine before he broke the kiss, our lips lingering within a hair's breath before his lust-filled eyes met mine. My legs wrapped around his core and Thanatos beamed, his touch light on my cheekbones, tracing down to the corner of my mouth. 

“I love you.” Without waiting for an answer Thanatos claimed my mouth with his, filling my bones with the words, with a promise that even if the sacrifice was to be made he would remain, and remember and most importantly, he would love. 

His fingers teased my entrance, toying with me as my breath quickened and my back arched. I moaned into the kiss, being rewarded by Thanato grinding against me, as if the sound alone could send him over the edge. Not even a second passed and he was poised, ready to enter. He sat back carefully, regarding me with a gentle, passionate stare. 

His eyes closed as the first inch entered. He paused there momentarily, and nothing in the world could describe the absolute love that found its way onto his face. Gently I wrapped my arms around his neck, bringing him back to me effortlessly. I kissed his forehead and his eyelids before littering kisses all over his face. With each kiss he pushed forward until every inch was burrowed within. 

My legs crossed themselves on his back and brought his body closer to mine until his warmth was spread through me. He kissed me whole-heartedly before his lips found themselves on my chin and down to gently nibble on my neck. It was a question mark, which I punctuated with a moan as his hips rotated gently, pushing himself against my walls. 

He nibbled on the spot again before diving in, thrusting hard while his fangs pricked my neck. I arched into both of the stimulants, my fingers gripping onto the sheets until my knuckles turned white. I could feel his enjoyment through the bond, I could almost feel the way blood tasted in my mouth, the way it felt to fit so perfectly. My world exploded in light as his thrusts drew me far over the edge. 

I screamed, louder than ever before. Thanatos shuddered and exploded, every inch of my mind, body and soul was filled with him. The sun peeked through the curtains to the side and I sighed, closing my eyes, pretending I didn’t feel the tear-drops falling on my chest where Thanatos’ head was lying. Nor did I feel the water leaking from my own cheeks.
