Of which you are no stranger of, and have even spilt some yourself, as have all Undercity residents have had at some point or another. Some would claim it is to survive; in truth, it is a rite of passage, that soon breds into a tragic, but honest necessity of life.
Still, the sight of him splattered with it makes you slip from the bed you recline on without another word, nor hesitation, crossing the room in single-number strides before the door is even closed.
“Eager, are you?” Breathless, tonelessly dry joke as you impatiently tug at the stained coat. A short hiss and a tight grip is suddenly on your wrist, one you know very well by now in a different context, when you pull too hard at a shoulder.
You flick your eyes up to the mask, and, like you have every time since his 3rd, you want nothing more than to drag it off to see his face. “Beloved,” You murmur, feeling that grip tighten indescribably at the assigned term he’d chosen on the contract. “Beloved,” You whisper again, more urgently as you slip the coat arm free from his shoulder.
The hand that holds you doesn’t release, and you feel the ripple of his shudder along your skin.
“…Let me take care of you.” “Do you not already?” He knows the answer as well as you do, but you do not give up. His grip is tight, but the arm is lax, allowing you to move your hand, still in his grasp, down closer to your face.
You hear lips part, yours or his, you know not which, as you bring his gloved hand up to your quiet, even breaths. Fingers loosen as your lips slide over the dark leather, before teeth gently close at the edge between tanned-material and man. Hairs rising as you pause a beat to let out a low breath wave over his wrist, before you slowly tug the material off his skin.
He releases you once it reach his fingers, and a moment of pause as the blood-speckled leather is hanging between your teeth, before a thumb comes up to gently rub away the faint smear left behind upon your upper lip.
It stays on your skin, once task complete.
“I think,” Eyelashes flutter as the pad of the finger slowly rubs at your skin, and out of habit by this point, you open your mouth and let the glove drop onto the ground, forgotten. “I do indeed, know a way you could take care of me.”
You smile, and take his hand into yours.
The brothal showers are practically state of the art, an gift of an anonymous donor, shortly after your newest client came. Swooping metal, half-glowing glass decor and seemingly never-ending supply of hot water.
And handles. Lots of handles, gripping points and stands, with non-slip flooring to drive the implication home.
Your client’s mask hangs off one of them, his back to you as water rivets down from dark, smoke-steaked locks that grow limp and dripping in the steaming spray.
Breaking a river with your lips on the curve of his neck, you gently trace the circles of purple and blue already forming with one hand, the soft touches making him shudder. From your delicate handling of his bruises and wounds, or the slow stokes you are giving to his length, it doesn’t really matter.
You imagine, sans the long groan that sounds as your fingers swirl the red, thobbing head of his cock, that the noises you’re pulling from him would fit well into either dueling sensation.
“Fuck…” You don’t attempt to hide your smile, nuzzling your nose against his base-hairline as fingers trail along his hardness, earning another groan through clenched teeth as you give a teasing rub of your thumb on the leaking tip, skin pulled back enough for the full sensitivity to shoot through him at every caring swipe.
In the first couple visits, your client had been near-silent as you did your work. A grunt here, a hiss once or twice, but stern, low orders had been your only reply to every stroke, clench, lick and suckle.
It was almost amusing to see how quickly you could pull a rare extremity from his mouth under your actions. As if on cue, there’s a louder, repeated use of a swear as he thumps a fist hard on the showerwall. Responding with volume as you give a series of faster pumps, before slowing back down to gently trace fingers along the details of his prick.
“Tease.”
You chuckle, and though the water is close to burning, you see muscles jump at the warm feel of your lips at his neck. “You enjoy it, Beloved. I might know your body better than you know it yourself. I might even know this cock…”
His next moan takes on an interesting, rarely-used high pitch as you close your palm just over the tip. Fingers stroking down as you slowly grind your palm against the exposed tip, feeling the clear pre smearing over your hand at a particularly needy thrust.
“… better than you do at this point, beloved.”
There’s thump of his forehead hitting the wall in front of him, which is repeated twice, as you pull your hand away from his need to slide both arms from behind, hands smoothing over abdomen, ribs and chest. Fingers skimming over scars of young and old, you settle your hands flat on his chest and, after a beat, close the distance between you two.
Resting your forehead at the back of his skull, you wait to see if he objects. Though you feel muscles tense under your, almost domestic touch, he doesn’t, and you close your eyes.
You are no dreamer. No one in your profession is, and you’ve been doing this long enough to have any concept of fantasies firmly buried in the deepest pit of your mind.
A part of you can’t help it. That inane part of you, that’ll no doubt one day get you fired, can’t help but bask in this moment of simplicity, a sensuality without sex, which was a rare, rare feeling in your line of work.
A part of you can’t help but imagine more of these moments, with this client of yours. Being allowed in such intimacy with a man whose taken you, and only you, demanding only that you keep to him. And only him.
Your Beloved.
You decide to blame the name, it’s making you sentimental. Hands slowly retracting from his skin, you’re unsurprised as your client, speaking up suddenly after what feels like an eternity of silence, croaks out in a rugged tone you’re not quite familiar with, “I need to be inside you.”
Repressing a small sigh, you go to remove yourself. Not that you don’t want him, of course, but you selfishly wanted to stay in this moment. Heat cascading down between the two of you, and nothing, not even a non-negotiable mask, as written on the contract, between you and him…
But you suppose, the bed would do-
His hand shoots from his steel-grip on the wall in front of him to capture your wrist, breathing out a quiet, but urgent, “Right now. Right here.” Your breath catches, and a small rumble sounds from his chest when his ears catch it, before he murmurs again in a tone you can’t quite decipher, “Close your eyes.”
The command is obeyed instantly. And rewarded soon after with two familiar hands cupping either side of your face, and an unfamiliar mouth on yours.
Your gasping exhale is swallowed as a tongue invades yours. Fingers soon smooth from your cheekbones, up through your soaked hair as you send a moan through his mouth, feeling him respond in kind. And though you want nothing more then to run you hands over his own face, you merely latch your hands onto his shoulders, more careful with the injured one.
Your client pulled back enough to rest a forehead against yours, gaze clearly focused downward as you feel fingers beginning to stroke just outside the folds of your pussy. “Soaked already, are you?”
Unable to resist, you reply with a breathless whimper as he fingers slide between your rapidly-slickening thighs, brushing against your clit, “So are you.”
A chuckle, and you opened your mouth to feel it on your lips. Anonymity was the foundation of your particular brothel, and you were, dangerously, stupidly, growing too fond of this particular client of yours, to scare away by open your eyes.
He must’ve appreciated the restraint, for he soon guided your hands to grip the wall behind him, before snaking an arm under one leg to lift it. You wrap it, instinctively and with practice, at his slender waist. Curling a hand into a fist on the wall behind as your hoarse words slip out without your permission, “Let me see you.”
The hand gripping your hip as he slowly drags his stiff cock between your lips, twitches in response to your quiet plea, but you only hear a smooth, almost teasing, “No,” in reply.
“Let me kiss you.”
His lips slam into yours without a second more to spare, through he takes his time sliding his cock into your heat.
Soon, blessedly soon, he is leaving long-needed trails of suckled flesh along your neck and collar as he sets a slow, pace between your legs. The small jerks, and the thundering growls he bites into your flesh are the only betrayals of his impatience as you let out lewd moans between his unrelenting, upward thrusts. In this position, you feel the tip inside you sliding deliciously against your g-spot with every movement, stirring electricity up your spine at every motion.
Water riveting down your body, you tilt your head back as he nurses one particularly long, dark mark into the curve of your neck, pulling back with a quiet, but ragged sigh. The hand not holding your hips as he gives the first of his harsh thrusts into you comes up to cart through the back of your hair.
“Pretty thing, when I have you like this,” His voice, and the increasing sounds of the pace picking up, are the sole things cutting through the steam. Until your whimpers begin to grow into earnest moaning. “Gods, you’re so good for me. So right for me…”
The cry that spills from you at the first of sudden, direct pounds deep into your cunt, makes him groan loud and long from the way you clench around him. “Fuck… you have a face, bred to be twisted with ecstasy from me.”
You couldn’t even begin to come up to a respond to that, and he gave you zero opportunities to think of one. Head lolling back into the grip on your hair as you felt your nails claw into the wall behind him, as his tongue pushed back into your mouth at your next choked moan. His own claws dug into your skin as he dragged your face closer to wrestle his mouth with yours.
The heat of your bodies almost rivaling that of the steam and water around the two of you, you felt your body rocket to melting-points after a couple sharp thrusts, and a thumb snaking around to the front of your pelvis to grind against your clit once, twice…
The resulting orgasm almost made him stagger, a rough and vile curse filling the clouded air as you clenched around the cock inside you with a vengeance. Head tossing back as you went stiff in your peak, the heated spray of the shower left you sputtering when you remembered how to breathe.
The mantra of curses brought you down to earth and… oh, damn the contract.
You opened your eyes, and saw him face to face for the first time, your beloved. No masks, no contractual obligations.
Just you, the steam between you, a glowing red eye and a face twisted into ecstasy as he rams into his orgasm, head falling back against the title with mouth falling open. The cum filling your cunt almost makes you climax a second time, and you swear that drinking in every detail of his face is what very-nearly puts you over the edge.
Others would cringe or openly stare in terror at the grey scars, the neverblinking red and black. Some probably consiter it the only remarkable feature, but watching that remaining human eye twist further shut, then teeth grind as he rides out his climax, dark hair having fallen all over his face…
And he said you had a face made for ecstasy. You could find yourself staring at this exact image for hours, and never feel less aflame than you do right now.
Alas, hours he does not give you, for the open-mouth panting comes to a slow halt as he cracks open an eye, teal and hazed with lust as he meets your gaze freely for the first time. No judgement or fury at your disobedience resides in his gaze, just quiet patience and satisfaction as his chest rises and falls with yours as work to regain air in your lungs.
You drink in every detail of his expression as water drips from your lashes, and streams down his face, rippling as it passes over grey, cracked skin and falling off partially scarred parted-lips.
Eyes then flicking back to his eye, watching your study, you hold his gaze for a moment. Then your mouths crash and reach each other half-way, as you end up thrusting your aching pelvis flush to his once more, feeling his spent release drip down from your used hole, down your thighs and down the drain from the action of him once again brought full-hilt within you.
It takes a long time for the hot water to run out.
Unrelated, it takes just as long for the two of you to stop.
“Are you going to end the contract?”
“No.” You hum, but don’t argue, pulling the fluffy towel closer around your shoulders as you watch him get dressed once more. Every cut or scrape cleaned out and now bandaged, only bruises remain on his skin. With that in mind, it’ll be easy for him to dispel speculation of his slight, sore-legged limp as merely side effects of a job gone bad.
You, however, reside in a brothel. The others here know exactly what needing to be partially-carried back to the room by your client means, and no amount of hiding it is going to dismiss the giggles that will undoubtedly arise when you walk out with a limp come morning.
You find that you don’t give a damn, and are simply content to recline on the bed as he smooths his cost back into place, reaching up to run a hand through damp locks. “Why?”
He pauses, turning to look at you. “I despise those who don’t follow orders.” He admits, heading over to the side of the bed where you lay. “Leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, betrayal…” The tone is soft as he speaks in words that should be harsh, and the touch he slids up over your body is equally gentle. Fingertips drag and catch on the curves of your body as you open the sides of the towel around you.
Yes, you’re unbelievably sore, more than you’ve ever been with anyone else in your job, and maybe ever will be, but for him? You’re fine with a little more ache.
He doesn’t drop his gaze from yours for a moment, however, and soon, his hand finds it’s way to your cheek. “But that wasn’t a betrayal of trust, now was it?”
You shake your head, ever careful not to shake his touch from your skin as you breath assuringly, “Curiosity.” His mouth moves slowly as he repeats it, tasting the word on his tongue, before a little curl appears on his lips. “Well, if that’s the case, who am I to punish the curious?”
Leaning down, his lips brush against yours, and automatically, unwillingly as you want to continue drinking-in his visage, your eyes slip close. Softer, perhaps more for himself than for your ears, he adds, “And I reward those who take care… and you take very, very good care of me, my lovely.”
Breath catches, he pulls away and slips out before you open your eyes. It’s as if he was never there at all, save for the ache between your legs, the gold shining on the counter, and that dooming, horrible warmth that now begins to build in your chest.
