[ as the days pass in sunshade, things reach a state of general normalcy. therion's in and out, as always, but he's been in town for the better part of a week - more specifically, he's been keeping an eye on a competitive business that's opened up in town. another tavern, run by someone else, full of beautiful dancers, taking regulars out of primrose's tavern. while competition is never an issue - 'The wandering eyes always do return', she had said, faithful and sounding frankly bored at the concept - the business practices of the other tavern are. there's a little worry that the owner might be running it far too similarly to helgenish used to, corruption and disgusting practices and all.
so, primrose asks therion when he's in town to take a look around. nothing particularly fancy. she'd do it herself, frankly, but it wouldn't look good if she were caught, and if you need someone for subterfuge, then, well. who better to ask than therion? and this completely pointed pander to his ego works completely. and as he was on his way out the door, primrose stopped him, and informed him she needed him to gather information, and there was nothing easier to do so than hiding in plain sight. therion scoffed at the idea - he knows, primrose, he knows how to infiltrate - and she had smiled at him with this evil look on her face.
jiaoqiu might have heard the sound of his refusals from the tavern kitchen, though banter's not that unusual and his hissing, spitting cat routine is a part of even the friendliest conversation, and despite all of his squawking, primrose delivered the coup de grace with a challenge.
she returns back to the tavern and leans on the doorframe of the kitchen - in the background, there's the sight of something purple vanishing with a glimmer of gold on the edge, but no way to really follow it as she says, "Jiaoqiu. You've been working hard lately. After service, why don't you take the night off? I can clean up after you when you're done."
and with that handled, with a slight curve to her smile, she goes off to do primrose things! mysterious.
in the meantime, therion's gone for a few hours. by the time he heads back for the tavern, he's got what primrose wanted and he did so silently and without getting caught, so suck on that, and he's going to drop off the information, and then just head straight upstairs and back to the room to get out of. this. ]
[ jiaoqiu did, in fact, hear the refusals, but he waved them off. therion and primrose bicker like this all the time and he is not concerned. he knows what therion and primrose sound like when they're actually upset, by this point. still, he makes a note to ask later, because he's nosy, and goes back to making dinner.
and when primrose comes to talk to him, he tilts his head, ear flicking. oh. huh. well, okay. he doesn't argue, but that does sort of leave him with a whole night free. he isn't entirely sure what to do with himself! which is sort of sad, but it's fine. he probably has a book or two that he can distract himself with. so - he grabs some wine, because why not, and after service, he wanders up to their room to just chill out.
he imagines therion will probably be back soon. maybe he can convince him to go out to the night market or something.
except, like. therion comes into the room, and jiaoqiu starts to say something - it's not important, just like, hello, welcome home - and then he looks up and sees therion in this outfit, and stops dead.
therion is not expecting jiaoqiu to be in the room when he gets back. he freezes at the door, dressed in, of course, this outfit, and not a jingle has been made - his hand is on the doorknob still.
jiaoqiu - okay, look, he laughs a little because it's such a therion thing to do, but not for long. he scrambles off the bed, putting his wine glass aside, and wobbles over to the door, tail swishing behind him. he opens it, expression amused and also a bit curious, and if therion is still there he reaches for him, trying to tug him into the room. ]
[ don't worry he is still there. therion needed like three seconds to compose himself which jiaoqiu did not give him. by the time the door is opened - wrenched open, because he definitely holds it shut for a second - therion is there, frowning mightily and scarlet red, from forehead down to his chin, his arms crossed immediately over his chest. this movement is so fast that the bells and coins do jingle, and he turns his head away and absolutely refuses to look at him!!!!
he can just SEE jiaoqiu's amused face, he does not need to actually look at it!!]
[ aw, buddy, the way the tables are going to be turned so quickly.
there's a pause, as jiaoqiu looks at him, and the amusement fades a great deal as he really gets an idea of what therion is wearing. briefly there's this little ping in the back of his mind like oh, this must've been what primrose and therion were arguing about, and then an even further ping that is a note to himself to thank her later with her favorite food. a beat, as his ear flicks.
opens his mouth. therion says shut up. closes it. opens it again. ]
... That's - it's a very good look on you. [ and like maybe he meant to tease but it's very genuine, especially with the way he flushes a little pink. ]
[ yeah listen he has to get over being mortified first
which is good, because he's pushing past jiaoqiu to get into the room - the red flush on his face is spreading down his neck, and his shoulders are up around his ears as he makes his way over to wherever he's storing what few clothes he has. ]
Yeah, yeah, laugh it up. [ therion starts immediately, grousing as he's reaching for the collar of the stupid dance costume - it covers his neck, which he vastly prefers, but it is still fussy and embarrassing, and it's as he's trying to defend himself with any number of sharp comments that he realizes jiaoqiu's tone and
pauses. then, slowly, hands still at the back of the costume, chances a glance back at him. ]
[ jiaoqiu closes the door behind him as he bullrushes into the room, at least. he does not want anybody else to see therion, not because therion is embarrassed, but because there's a rush of possessiveness that he feels. he's not a jealous person, not really, but something about this outfit is making his thoughts go in fun, new places.
he actually protests, even, when therion starts to take the outfit off. no!! let him look first!! with his hands, preferably.
jiaoqiu takes a couple steps forward, still slightly pink, and then therion looks up at him, and. well, the flush gets worse, because he can see more of therion's exposed midriff, and also, he's pretty sure therion is going to figure him out in two seconds and not let him live this down ever. his tail flicks. ]
yeah, jiaoqiu is correct. when he turns around, he is still scowling and embarrassed, especially when he makes that protesting sound, but actually making eye contact is a completely different experience entirely. slowly, the guarded, prickly, defensive wall starts to come down as his shoulders start to come away from his ears.
instead, he shifts a little bit - his arms are still resting on his chest, but he shifts his stance, weight on his back foot, and regards jiaoqiu, slowly raising an eyebrow. ]
... Dunno. [ that flip turn out of his embarrassment happens way too fast - therion is of course, too fast on his feet, and his voice picks up a little note of something smug, dangling. ] Think I'm supposed to be charging for something like that, huh?
[ his tail flicks again, and his expression gets a little grouchy, the way it often does when therion gets like this. it's not serious, not really, but it does make that possessive desire get jacked up a whole lot more - makes him want to kiss that smug look off his face.
with a bravery that probably comes at least a little from the wine, jiaoqiu moves forward and rests both hands on therion's hips, fingers tracing over the exposed skin above his waistband. still blushing, but also very intent. ]
You can charge me whatever you'd like. [ he mumbles, tucking his fingers down over the top of therion's pants. ] Did other people see you like this?
[ the worst part is that when he gets grouchy it just makes it worse because he can tell that something is happening here. therion's entire demeanor changes, and he leans back against the dresser, letting jiaoqiu set his hands on his hips and putting the stupid little outfit, and by proxy, himself, on full display.
the material of the pants is a very soft, expensive silk, watery smooth and nice to the touch - honestly, this stupid costume is nicer than anything therion's ever actually owned, and while his full plans were to rip it off and sell it, this is a nice little side effect. his skin is warm from being out in the sunshade afternoon, all lean, corded muscle and many a scar.
his head tips up, and his expression falls easily into a smirk. oh-ho. ]
Part of the job, isn't it? [ even if he was like, pretending. even if no one did see him, with the way jiaoqiu is acting, therion would just lie about it? this is interesting. and just to punctuate, he shifts his hips a little, so the coins jingle. ] Why?
[ jiaoqiu gets very, very distracted by the texture of the silk. he drags his fingers over it, gold eyes open and staring down at everything he is being presented with. he's seen therion naked so many times it's ridiculous, but seeing him like this, with things left to the imagination, with the muscles of his stomach and chest out on display, his collarbones - it's really something. his skin is warm, and jiaoqiu enjoys the sensation, dragging his cool fingers over sun-heated skin, taking in the smell of sand and sun and the usual leather and steel he associates with therion. maybe a little perfume, too, from the costume. it's overwhelming, and he's enjoying it, very clearly.
a little rumble of a noise, almost a growl, at therion's answer, though. after a moment, he just leans forward and presses his nose and mouth against therion's exposed shoulder, his ears standing straight up. a beat, as he breathes therion in, tail swishing back and forth, and then he bites. sinks his teeth into therion's shoulder, holding his hips tightly, pinning him against the dresser. ]
I want to be the last person to see you in it. The only person to take you out of it. [ he murmurs, running his tongue over the mark he just left. there's something in him that is really, really itching to claim, to say mine, but he's resisting, because he wants to make sure therion is okay with this before he lets himself really lose himself in it. ]
[ holy shit. well, he was provoking that reaction he saw, so true to form, jiaoqiu's responding to it, and the response is a little more than he was expecting. his head tilts naturally towards his when he steps in closer, cocked like a predatory animal despite the fact that he's the one caught in the grasp of a particularly sly fox at the moment. despite the fact that the growl should be concerning, for anyone else.
but, that's been part of the thrill many a time before, and it won't stop, now. the smug amusement remains, melding together with interest, and then all of a sudden, he's pinned up against the dresser - there's a short, sharp inhale of surprise that therion blows out on half of an exhale of a laugh. that much of an effect, huh.
his arms snake up between them so they're not trapped - he lays them over jiaoqiu's shoulders, stretching a bit to do so. the gauzy, sheer fabric of the arm sleeves brushes against any bit of exposed skin there could possibly be, and he lazily drapes both arms there, curling his fingers together behind his head, and tilting his own to make a little more room for that wandering tongue of his. ]
Huh. [ this 'huh' is playing at nonchalant, but he sounds clearly pleased. ] Not gonna let me undress myself?
[ like. he would. this is kind of a bluff because he'd probably find all that attention a little embarrassing, but he'll gamble it'll just rile jiaoqiu up more at the moment - those possessive instincts he's picking up on here are hard to miss. only you get to take the outfit off. ]
[ there's that trust there, always, between them. for as much as jiaoqiu growls and scratches and bites, he would never hurt therion in any real, significant way.
his tension eases when therion plays into all of this, and his caution starts to fade. good. his mind is already racing - it is insane how fast this stupid costume made all of his senses go out the window. he wants to put his tongue everywhere. he wants to ruin. therion might not be able to sell this costume after this, for a lot of reasons.
little fireworks go off in his brain at the idea of having therion strip for him, and he does really seem to consider it for a second, sucking hickeys bright and red against therion's shoulder, making the fading marks there from previous romps more visible. his breath comes out a little shivery at the sensation of the sheer, slippery fabric of therion's costume brushing against his face and neck as therion's arms settle. his trail of bites and kisses moves up, slow and intent until he stops below therion's ear, nosing at him. there are definitely some animal instincts he's getting lost in here, his chest rumbling low like a purr. ]
No. [ he says finally, dragging his hands up therion's sides, over the plane of his stomach, claws faintly running over his abdomen. ] I want to do it. Only me.
[ soft, heated, as he slips a hand under the silk top, tracing therion's chest: ]
[ that carefully built trust is also why therion lets jiaoqiu pin him in the first place. he could get out of this, if he wanted to, but he doesn't - not when jiaoqiu's looking at him like that, not when there's heat in his voice, not at the shortened, just this edge of slightly feral sentences from his typically eloquent fox. and definitely not at how each one of those hickies leaves a spark of sensation behind, something bright behind his eyelids.
there's a low laugh, as his head tilts a little further. jiaoqiu's voice is soft, heated and close in his ear, the exhale when he speaks making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up in all the best ways, and he looks up at the ceiling over his head to hide the widening of his smirk, the glimmer of delight in his visible eye. ]
Apparently, so do you.
[ know how good he looks, at least. therion really didn't think about it when he put this on - it was mostly mortifying? primrose, - nor did he think about it when he was gathering information, but right now? sure, he can peacock a little. he's smug enough that it would be obnoxious in any other situation, but right now it's a weapon that he wields as well as a dagger.
as if drawn up by a string, he arches up into jiaoqiu's hand, from the claws that brush over old scars all the way to the hand under his shirt. no longer being careful, the coins and bells on the outfit jingle softly with the movement, the shift of soft fabric audible to hyperaware ears. the material itself has very little give - underneath, jiaoqiu can likely feel his heartbeat as he traces, picking up in speed. he doesn't have to do much, but just to emphasize, he winds a lock of jiaoqiu's hair around his clever fingers and pulls it lightly, almost teasing. ]
[ the jingling of the coins and bells makes him sigh out. he makes them make noise on purpose, shifting his hand under therion's top with a satisfied huff. he's kind of just - feeling therion up, shivering as his hand glides up therion's back, along the exposed skin, and then back down again. groping, too, grabbing at therion's ass and his chest, scratching lightly at his sides, his hips. it's clear he's holding back just enough, like he's trying to savor instead of just knocking therion to the ground to have his way with him. whatever the fuck this outfit awakened in him he's going to have to examine later, good god.
he likes the feeling of therion's heartbeat speeding up. he likes the way therion twirls his hair in his fingers, and he wants more of that. ]
I'm going to put my mouth a lot of places. [ he hums. bites therion's ear for good measure.
and he proceeds to do just that. he keeps therion up against the dresser for now, and continues leaving marks up and down therion's neck, trails down further. he has to hunch a little to reach, but he doesn't much care. he pushes that top up, running his tongue along therion's chest, over his pecs, biting here and there, hands dragging down therion's sides to rest on his warm skin. down he goes, eventually half crouching, half kneeling so that he can press his face against therion's stomach, his abs, breathing him in, kissing his way to therion's hipbones. there he pays special attention, inching the fabric of his pants down slightly to run his tongue along the groove, ending it in a bite.
behind him, his tail is swishing back and forth. his ears are fluttering every so often - maybe it's funny just how much jiaoqiu enjoys just touching, not even anything necessarily dirty just yet. erotic, maybe, but mostly just taking the time to kiss and bite every part of therion, his sun-warm, tanned skin. getting to touch what everybody else just had to look at. mine, he thinks, with a low rumble of a sound, and he tilts his head, mouthing at therion's cock through the fabric, breath hot and fingers digging into therion's hips. ]
[ somehow, him making the coins and bells make noise on purpose is kind of funny - like a cat playing with a toy, or maybe a fox? really firing on all cylinders, here, huh. he thinks to himself, the smug little smirk somehow getting worse, followed with a huff of a laugh and a spark of heat at the bite on his ear, a sensitive spot, hot breath on silver piercings, though it's not like there's much time for that.
he generally likes when jiaoqiu claws at him when they're in bed, but it's especially hot right now. there's a hint of danger to it, safe as it might be, and the sharp sensation always gets a reaction out of him, always leaves lines of tingling heat behind. bites are just as good, and he often eggs them on, enough that the hickies jiaoqiu leaves behind often have the imprint of teeth for a day in them, too. even being caged in is setting off that adrenaline danger sense, solely because jiaoqiu's so much taller than him, and it makes it feel even more intimate in the tiny space placed between them.
this is more exploratory than their usual, somehow fast-paced and slow all at once, and he lets himself be dragged into jiaoqiu's pace, lets the trace of his hands and the wet warmth of his tongue start to rile him up, too. the top comes up, fabric bunching up under his arms and baring the long expanse of his tan skin to be touched, baring old bruises and hickies left behind by jiaoqiu's mouth. and, like always, he's quiet, but his eyes flutter and his body moves along with jiaoqiu's, arching up, flushing pink with enough attention. the hand in his hair snarls when he bites him somewhere therion likes it, his hips twitching with a jingle noise, his short nails scratching in against his scalp to get a better grip as his breath speeds up and he presses himself back against the dresser and then forward, occasionally getting in his way as he touches just to be a brat. these movements are not nearly as practiced as his silent infiltration - each twitch gets that soft, jingly noise until he realizes what's happening, and it stops.
by the time he's made his way down, therion's hard in the loose pants of the costume, undeniably affected by this feral behavior, and when jiaoqiu's paying attention to the bony curve of his hips, he can likely feel the way, subtly, he rolls forward, seeking out a little friction despite mostly meeting open air. he can find that the waist belt is of equally high quality as the rest - on either side, delicate, thin gold chains of bells highlight his thighs, swooping downwards midway, designed to raise up on a twirl, but making an excellent place to slide your hands under, to tug and pull on if you so wanted to do, too.
he exhales out hard when jiaoqiu mouths at him, and there's a soft thunk as his head hits the back of the dresser - therion's fingers flex in his hair, slide through the pink strands once or twice in a wordless "good, good" as he lets out a breathless, low laugh. ]
Your tail's wagging. [ he can't help himself but be a little shitty. if he had one, it'd probably be wagging too? he can't just say he looks good like this, even though he does. ]
[ it's really that he just likes making sure that therion knows he's being seen - jingling the pieces of his costume emphasizes that. jiaoqiu is paying attention, he's very present, and he is all in on just working therion up until he doesn't think about being quiet first.
the little interruptions, therion getting in his way as he makes his way down, make him growl - makes him bite in places he's not intending to. but mostly? he's reactive. therion scritches his nails against his scalp, he yanks his hair, and jiaoqiu sighs out hot breaths against his skin as a reward, arching up into the touch. there's something pleased and fueled by the fact that therion seems to like this as much as he does - he was a little worried, but the fact that therion's hard and squirming in his grip makes him sink down further into claiming territory.
and when therion points out that his tail is wagging, he grumbles. ]
You smell good.
[ that's his excuse and he is sticking to it. his voice is low and a little huffy, but he doesn't stop. instead, he brings his hand up to curl into one side of that belt and tugs therion's hips forward just enough, almost like a preview. his left ear flicks at the sound it makes, and for a moment he considers just leaving therion's pants on, coaxing therion into coming on the pretty fabric, but his mind wanders elsewhere.
he's going to see if this belt can be disconnected from the pants, because he can't stop thinking about fucking therion in as much of this outfit as he possibly can. whether it's jiaoqiu topping or bottoming, he doesn't care, he just wants it on. he investigates as he absently noses at therion through the fabric and then up, pressing kisses against the skin peeking out from the curve of the waistband. ]
[ he has yet to realize entirely how claiming this kind of thing currently is, but this goes a long way to ease him into it, because this is all very, very hot - the growls when he gets in the way, included, and he wants to egg that on, but there's not quite enough time with jiaoqiu pulling on him like that.
his hips jump as he's manhandled, because that's definitely unusual, and therion lets out a - ] Hah. [ noise that might be a laugh at jiaoqiu's grumbling, or it could just be a rough, thrilled exhale, nearly drowned out by the chimes of the waist piece that rattle again when he moves out of sheer instinct instead of purposeful movement. grin a little wild, his actual, meant to be snarky response comes out more breathless than he likes: ] Yeah, sure.
[ as for the belt!! feeling around, jiaoqiu can find it's held into place just by a simple ribbon tie at the back of his pants - primrose tied it in a bow, unbeknownst to him - but it does come off easily beyond that. just an accessory. he seems to figure out what he's doing as he investigates, and therion arches up a little further, purposefully pressing up into the friction that comes from having him so close like a brat, especially now that he's moved the wet pressure of his mouth off of his dick? rude? typical thief, always have to take.
and typical thief, in that he can't really keep his hands still. he finds jiaoqiu's side braid, a personal favorite, and digs his fingers into that, too, fucking it up with his hands and giving a little pull. no, come back here. ]
[ oh, he likes that breathlessness. a little hum of content escapes him when therion responds, and he rewards him with a bite, leaving a sizeable mark against his hip. he runs his tongue over it after, like an apology maybe, except he's not really all that sorry. therion's going to be a mess of marks under his clothes after all this.
the sound of the bells and coins jingling is going to be a pavlov thing for him, he's realizing. oh well.
jiaoqiu lets out another growl when therion fucks up his braid - but he doesn't seem to mind all that much, nor does he mind that therion keeps squirming to try and get friction. he's been there, first of all. he allows therion to tug him back over, and this time, as he's absently licking at therion's dick over the fabric, his hands are busy. he unties the belt, and then reties it around therion's waist, unattached to the pants and just hanging out there. the accessory settles against his skin instead, prettily.
from there, jiaoqiu slides his fingers over and under the waistband, and drags the costume down just enough to get at skin. he doesn't let the costume go far, just around therion's thighs, just under his ass, and takes therion in hand, stroking him idly as he readjusts, settling on his knees. really, he's probably a nice sight, on his knees in front of therion, hair mussed, gold eyes molten hot, mouth open just enough to be inviting. he likes it when therion takes, so - take, his expression says, as he rests the head of therion's cock on his tongue, sliding forward slow.
his mouth can do all the work, he thinks. he is going to get his hands into the fabric, dragging his palms up therion's still clothed thighs. ]
[ there is a very brief moment where therion raises an eyebrow down at jiaoqiu as he's doing this - when the belt is not in fact removed - and he looks a little judgy, the really? there without a single syllable out of his mouth. he has to adjust for the thing, taking into account where it falls on his body so he doesn't end up jangling it too much out of his sheer instincts, the need to move as quiet as a hunting cat in all moments of his life. there's a marked difference to his hot skin and the just slightly cool texture of the metal, but it's not an altogether unwelcome feeling, and.
well, he can't be judgy for long. especially not with jiaoqiu on his knees, looking for all the world like a cat (no, a fox) in heat. it'll be funny later when it's not so attractive, not when jiaoqiu's mouth is practically begging for him, a reminder from many a prior experience. he's pretty good at giving head, and the deja vu of sensation has him easily shifting, planting his heels down and shifting his feet apart as much as he can - the way jiaoqiu's half peeled him out of the pants means he really can't move all that much, which he'd find a lot more annoying if he wasn't focused more on the slide of jiaoqiu's mouth around his cock. between the dresser and the presence in front of him, the half undressed nature of his costume, he's kind of trapped, which comes with its own set of feelings - he's trapped, right now, because he's allowing himself to be.
therion hisses through his teeth when jiaoqiu takes him in his mouth, head staying back against the dresser and hands sliding into his hair, fucking up the braid on the other side to match the first. he can meet him there, can absolutely take a hint, and his hips slide forward, easily, following the contour of jiaoqiu's tongue and pulling on his hair, tugging him along. testing the waters, so to speak, if only because he would love to fuck into his mouth with reckless abandon, but he's got at least a shred of common decency, no matter how good that feels.
the rock of his hips does get another faint jingle noise, though now that it's set at its his waist, less so, not while he's still being careful (ish) - it's sort of a background sensation, much like the fabric of the costume, a distant silky slide compared to jiaoqiu's mouth, though the feeling is nice. nicest for jiaoqiu, likely - the taut tenseness of therion's thigh muscles can be felt easily through the silky fabric, from a lifetime of jumping and running, and he can feel them twitch when he delves deeper into his mouth, the way the pleasure shocks up his spine nearly made physical. ]
[ listen, sometimes a fox wants to have some decoration on his meal, okay, no judgement,
in any case, therion follows along beautifully, and jiaoqiu lets out a sigh of pleasure, high and soft, almost a moan. he doesn't close his eyes, just lets them ease to slits as he watches therion cant his hips forward. the decency is nice, sweet, but absolutely unneeded, and he lets therion know that pretty quickly. he slides down, as far as he can go - he wants to bury his face against therion's stomach, he wants to have all of his senses filled. when he pulls back, he takes a shuddery breath and sinks back down, bobbing his head as his tongue glides over sensitive, hot skin. his ears tilt back, but it's not out of anxiety or fear; it's focus, the zen of opening his throat and letting therion do whatever he wants.
it's the twitch of his thighs, the muscles shifting under the fabric, that makes jiaoqiu have to shift where he's kneeling. his pants are uncomfortably tight, and all his fur is standing up on end from how aroused he is to do this.
he digs his fingers into therion's hip with one hand, fingers sliding around to just like, shamelessly grab therion's ass. the other reaches back up to yank at the belt, tugging therion forward with a jingling noise. go ahead, this is his permission to use his mouth however he wants to. therion knows how jiaoqiu likes it, considering he's got his hands tangled in jiaoqiu's hair.
if therion needs to get out of his pants further in order to get a good angle, jiaoqiu lets him, but he makes unhappy growling sounds about it. it's fine. at least the belt is still there. ]
good! good. it's never exactly gentle when they go at it - very, very rarely, save for one time, with laced fingers and a little desperation that still makes him burn when he thinks about it - and rough and wild is how he prefers it, and what he wants to give into. for his patience, he's rewarded with watching jiaoqiu's mouth work around his dick, which is always hot, watching him take him down to the hilt.
the yank startles him - it's the noise more than anything, and there's a jolt of undeniable arousal when he pulls like that, cock jumping in jiaoqiu's mouth at the sensation, because fuck, that's good. he's a fan of getting manhandled, too, a much better context for a very familiar experience, and he swears, digging the hands in his hair in harder. the unhappy growling would make him laugh, does get a brief sickle of a smirk to flicker across his face as he makes the connection for why, but it really does not last because he's also growling around his cock and that's really hot.
so instead, his breath shudders, and as he arches his hips backwards, he pulls nearly out of his mouth entirely, watches the sight of him with his ears back and his eyes half lidded, and then thrusts his hips forward, gliding down his tongue, the wet, perfect heat of his throat and the way it wraps around him. therion exhales harshly again, and this time the movement's a little less controlled as he starts to pulse forward, picking up the jangling sound with each thrust inwards. he pushes back into the hand on his ass, and then back out, raking his nails against jiaoqiu's scalp in his pleasure, using the grip he has on his hair to move his head so he doesn't have to move his hips as much. the teamwork between them means the costume can stay where it is, for now, silk bunched under jiaoqiu's hands. ]
[ that one time was special - jiaoqiu thinks about it sometimes still, thinks about the warmth of it, the way that it felt more like love than anything else they've done. but right now, he wants base instinct. he wants to use and be used, and the gentleness can come after. right now, therion grips his hair hard enough to actually hurt, and jiaoqiu shudders, eyes clouded over with want. this is a form of love, too, in a way - with how much he loves therion's body and how much he likes to make therion feel good.
and how much he likes to feel good himself, even. he squirms when therion twitches in his mouth - it takes a lot of effort not to let go of therion to shove a hand down his own pants. he only manages to resist because therion gives them a rhythm to work to and he wants to put all his effort into it. his own arousal takes a backseat for a moment as he loosens up, as he lets therion slide all the way out, and then push back in far enough to make him choke, slightly. not enough to stop him, though - there's a low growl in every breath that he lets out, gripping at the silk, rucking it up as he gropes at therion, drags his palms over skin and fabric, as his claws leave indents at his thighs. he lets therion rock roughly in and out of his mouth, swallowing around him, letting his tongue swirl around him when he can, following the way therion pushes his head down to meet his hips, wet and messy and slick.
if his fingers drag down, absently stroking over his entrance, like he's thinking about how he could press his fingers inside if he had the right prep - it's brief. it could be missed, just a motion of jiaoqiu adjusting his grip to make sure therion's stance doesn't get knocked askew by the pace.
maybe part of the appeal here is that jiaoqiu looks like he finds this as hot as therion does - when he manages to meet therion's gaze, with his lips wrapped around the base of therion's cock, he's a little blissed out, cheeks flushed and ears trembling slightly with the effort. and unlike previous times, he doesn't seem inclined to stop. his tail flicks against the ground behind him as he meets each rock of therion's hips, as he lets tiny moans vibrate around therion, only drowned out by the jingle of the belt. ]
[ god, fuck that feels good. that's his basal instinct, and the more wild that jiaoqiu gets with this, the more it spurs him on to do the same. jiaoqiu really looks good like this, all flushed red and used mouth, the way he's trembling, the way he can see his fur fluffed out in his peripheral vision. hearing him choke sends a flare of heat down his spine, curling in his stomach, because he knows exactly how that feels, how the edge of pain can be so hot when it's right, how getting your senses filled up like that can make something sing. that, and the tight, wet heat of his throat is irresistible, how the spasm when he swallows squeezes in all the right places.
therion's breath catches and he exhales out- ] Fuck, Jiaoqiu, you - [ whatever he's going to say is cut off, as he feels the pass of his fingers press to his entrance, and it's a familiar feeling and an unfamiliar one all at once. it startles him, his back arching, the bells and coins making a sharp, bright noise as his hips snap back almost automatically towards his fingertips, and then forward again, back into the heat of his mouth. it's overwhelming, so overwhelming that a noise chokes out of his mouth, nearly drowned out by the stupid belt.
there's no time to think about it, thankfully, no time to be embarrassed as he slams his hips back down his throat, the jingling getting louder as he starts to lose control of his movements. jiaoqiu looking up gets him an eyeful of therion with his face screwed up briefly in pleasure, eyes shut and mouth open, breathing harshly, flushed bright red - when he opens his visible eye, it's pitch dark, and the sight of jiaoqiu like that makes him twitch again, makes him pull at his hair to bring him off of his length and then back down, just how he likes it, using his mouth to get off with the selfish abandon of a thief. ]
Fuck, fuck - [ only, despite the selfish abandon, he swears as he moves, pushes his heel outwards the best that he can as jiaoqiu as trapped him and presses the inside of his foot against the front of jiaoqiu's pants, giving him something to grind up against that isn't just open air. ]
wiggles fingers
so, primrose asks therion when he's in town to take a look around. nothing particularly fancy. she'd do it herself, frankly, but it wouldn't look good if she were caught, and if you need someone for subterfuge, then, well. who better to ask than therion? and this completely pointed pander to his ego works completely. and as he was on his way out the door, primrose stopped him, and informed him she needed him to gather information, and there was nothing easier to do so than hiding in plain sight. therion scoffed at the idea - he knows, primrose, he knows how to infiltrate - and she had smiled at him with this evil look on her face.
jiaoqiu might have heard the sound of his refusals from the tavern kitchen, though banter's not that unusual and his hissing, spitting cat routine is a part of even the friendliest conversation, and despite all of his squawking, primrose delivered the coup de grace with a challenge.
she returns back to the tavern and leans on the doorframe of the kitchen - in the background, there's the sight of something purple vanishing with a glimmer of gold on the edge, but no way to really follow it as she says, "Jiaoqiu. You've been working hard lately. After service, why don't you take the night off? I can clean up after you when you're done."
and with that handled, with a slight curve to her smile, she goes off to do primrose things! mysterious.
in the meantime, therion's gone for a few hours. by the time he heads back for the tavern, he's got what primrose wanted and he did so silently and without getting caught, so suck on that, and he's going to drop off the information, and then just head straight upstairs and back to the room to get out of. this. ]
no subject
and when primrose comes to talk to him, he tilts his head, ear flicking. oh. huh. well, okay. he doesn't argue, but that does sort of leave him with a whole night free. he isn't entirely sure what to do with himself! which is sort of sad, but it's fine. he probably has a book or two that he can distract himself with. so - he grabs some wine, because why not, and after service, he wanders up to their room to just chill out.
he imagines therion will probably be back soon. maybe he can convince him to go out to the night market or something.
except, like. therion comes into the room, and jiaoqiu starts to say something - it's not important, just like, hello, welcome home - and then he looks up and sees therion in this outfit, and stops dead.
a ]
no subject
see
therion is not expecting jiaoqiu to be in the room when he gets back. he freezes at the door, dressed in, of course, this outfit, and not a jingle has been made - his hand is on the doorknob still.
he stares at jiaoqiu for a long, long second
and then just shuts the door again. goodbye ]
no subject
jiaoqiu - okay, look, he laughs a little because it's such a therion thing to do, but not for long. he scrambles off the bed, putting his wine glass aside, and wobbles over to the door, tail swishing behind him. he opens it, expression amused and also a bit curious, and if therion is still there he reaches for him, trying to tug him into the room. ]
No, no, none of that --
[ come back here he wants to look at you ]
no subject
he can just SEE jiaoqiu's amused face, he does not need to actually look at it!!]
Shut up. [ HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ]
no subject
there's a pause, as jiaoqiu looks at him, and the amusement fades a great deal as he really gets an idea of what therion is wearing. briefly there's this little ping in the back of his mind like oh, this must've been what primrose and therion were arguing about, and then an even further ping that is a note to himself to thank her later with her favorite food. a beat, as his ear flicks.
opens his mouth. therion says shut up. closes it. opens it again. ]
... That's - it's a very good look on you. [ and like maybe he meant to tease but it's very genuine, especially with the way he flushes a little pink. ]
no subject
which is good, because he's pushing past jiaoqiu to get into the room - the red flush on his face is spreading down his neck, and his shoulders are up around his ears as he makes his way over to wherever he's storing what few clothes he has. ]
Yeah, yeah, laugh it up. [ therion starts immediately, grousing as he's reaching for the collar of the stupid dance costume - it covers his neck, which he vastly prefers, but it is still fussy and embarrassing, and it's as he's trying to defend himself with any number of sharp comments that he realizes jiaoqiu's tone and
pauses. then, slowly, hands still at the back of the costume, chances a glance back at him. ]
no subject
he actually protests, even, when therion starts to take the outfit off. no!! let him look first!! with his hands, preferably.
jiaoqiu takes a couple steps forward, still slightly pink, and then therion looks up at him, and. well, the flush gets worse, because he can see more of therion's exposed midriff, and also, he's pretty sure therion is going to figure him out in two seconds and not let him live this down ever. his tail flicks. ]
No, I... I mean it. [ ... ] Can I see?
no subject
yeah, jiaoqiu is correct. when he turns around, he is still scowling and embarrassed, especially when he makes that protesting sound, but actually making eye contact is a completely different experience entirely. slowly, the guarded, prickly, defensive wall starts to come down as his shoulders start to come away from his ears.
instead, he shifts a little bit - his arms are still resting on his chest, but he shifts his stance, weight on his back foot, and regards jiaoqiu, slowly raising an eyebrow. ]
... Dunno. [ that flip turn out of his embarrassment happens way too fast - therion is of course, too fast on his feet, and his voice picks up a little note of something smug, dangling. ] Think I'm supposed to be charging for something like that, huh?
no subject
with a bravery that probably comes at least a little from the wine, jiaoqiu moves forward and rests both hands on therion's hips, fingers tracing over the exposed skin above his waistband. still blushing, but also very intent. ]
You can charge me whatever you'd like. [ he mumbles, tucking his fingers down over the top of therion's pants. ] Did other people see you like this?
no subject
the material of the pants is a very soft, expensive silk, watery smooth and nice to the touch - honestly, this stupid costume is nicer than anything therion's ever actually owned, and while his full plans were to rip it off and sell it, this is a nice little side effect. his skin is warm from being out in the sunshade afternoon, all lean, corded muscle and many a scar.
his head tips up, and his expression falls easily into a smirk. oh-ho. ]
Part of the job, isn't it? [ even if he was like, pretending. even if no one did see him, with the way jiaoqiu is acting, therion would just lie about it? this is interesting. and just to punctuate, he shifts his hips a little, so the coins jingle. ] Why?
no subject
a little rumble of a noise, almost a growl, at therion's answer, though. after a moment, he just leans forward and presses his nose and mouth against therion's exposed shoulder, his ears standing straight up. a beat, as he breathes therion in, tail swishing back and forth, and then he bites. sinks his teeth into therion's shoulder, holding his hips tightly, pinning him against the dresser. ]
I want to be the last person to see you in it. The only person to take you out of it. [ he murmurs, running his tongue over the mark he just left. there's something in him that is really, really itching to claim, to say mine, but he's resisting, because he wants to make sure therion is okay with this before he lets himself really lose himself in it. ]
no subject
but, that's been part of the thrill many a time before, and it won't stop, now. the smug amusement remains, melding together with interest, and then all of a sudden, he's pinned up against the dresser - there's a short, sharp inhale of surprise that therion blows out on half of an exhale of a laugh. that much of an effect, huh.
his arms snake up between them so they're not trapped - he lays them over jiaoqiu's shoulders, stretching a bit to do so. the gauzy, sheer fabric of the arm sleeves brushes against any bit of exposed skin there could possibly be, and he lazily drapes both arms there, curling his fingers together behind his head, and tilting his own to make a little more room for that wandering tongue of his. ]
Huh. [ this 'huh' is playing at nonchalant, but he sounds clearly pleased. ] Not gonna let me undress myself?
[ like. he would. this is kind of a bluff because he'd probably find all that attention a little embarrassing, but he'll gamble it'll just rile jiaoqiu up more at the moment - those possessive instincts he's picking up on here are hard to miss. only you get to take the outfit off. ]
no subject
his tension eases when therion plays into all of this, and his caution starts to fade. good. his mind is already racing - it is insane how fast this stupid costume made all of his senses go out the window. he wants to put his tongue everywhere. he wants to ruin. therion might not be able to sell this costume after this, for a lot of reasons.
little fireworks go off in his brain at the idea of having therion strip for him, and he does really seem to consider it for a second, sucking hickeys bright and red against therion's shoulder, making the fading marks there from previous romps more visible. his breath comes out a little shivery at the sensation of the sheer, slippery fabric of therion's costume brushing against his face and neck as therion's arms settle. his trail of bites and kisses moves up, slow and intent until he stops below therion's ear, nosing at him. there are definitely some animal instincts he's getting lost in here, his chest rumbling low like a purr. ]
No. [ he says finally, dragging his hands up therion's sides, over the plane of his stomach, claws faintly running over his abdomen. ] I want to do it. Only me.
[ soft, heated, as he slips a hand under the silk top, tracing therion's chest: ]
You know how good you look.
no subject
there's a low laugh, as his head tilts a little further. jiaoqiu's voice is soft, heated and close in his ear, the exhale when he speaks making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up in all the best ways, and he looks up at the ceiling over his head to hide the widening of his smirk, the glimmer of delight in his visible eye. ]
Apparently, so do you.
[ know how good he looks, at least. therion really didn't think about it when he put this on - it was mostly mortifying? primrose, - nor did he think about it when he was gathering information, but right now? sure, he can peacock a little. he's smug enough that it would be obnoxious in any other situation, but right now it's a weapon that he wields as well as a dagger.
as if drawn up by a string, he arches up into jiaoqiu's hand, from the claws that brush over old scars all the way to the hand under his shirt. no longer being careful, the coins and bells on the outfit jingle softly with the movement, the shift of soft fabric audible to hyperaware ears. the material itself has very little give - underneath, jiaoqiu can likely feel his heartbeat as he traces, picking up in speed. he doesn't have to do much, but just to emphasize, he winds a lock of jiaoqiu's hair around his clever fingers and pulls it lightly, almost teasing. ]
Gonna put your money where your mouth is?
no subject
he likes the feeling of therion's heartbeat speeding up. he likes the way therion twirls his hair in his fingers, and he wants more of that. ]
I'm going to put my mouth a lot of places. [ he hums. bites therion's ear for good measure.
and he proceeds to do just that. he keeps therion up against the dresser for now, and continues leaving marks up and down therion's neck, trails down further. he has to hunch a little to reach, but he doesn't much care. he pushes that top up, running his tongue along therion's chest, over his pecs, biting here and there, hands dragging down therion's sides to rest on his warm skin. down he goes, eventually half crouching, half kneeling so that he can press his face against therion's stomach, his abs, breathing him in, kissing his way to therion's hipbones. there he pays special attention, inching the fabric of his pants down slightly to run his tongue along the groove, ending it in a bite.
behind him, his tail is swishing back and forth. his ears are fluttering every so often - maybe it's funny just how much jiaoqiu enjoys just touching, not even anything necessarily dirty just yet. erotic, maybe, but mostly just taking the time to kiss and bite every part of therion, his sun-warm, tanned skin. getting to touch what everybody else just had to look at. mine, he thinks, with a low rumble of a sound, and he tilts his head, mouthing at therion's cock through the fabric, breath hot and fingers digging into therion's hips. ]
no subject
he generally likes when jiaoqiu claws at him when they're in bed, but it's especially hot right now. there's a hint of danger to it, safe as it might be, and the sharp sensation always gets a reaction out of him, always leaves lines of tingling heat behind. bites are just as good, and he often eggs them on, enough that the hickies jiaoqiu leaves behind often have the imprint of teeth for a day in them, too. even being caged in is setting off that adrenaline danger sense, solely because jiaoqiu's so much taller than him, and it makes it feel even more intimate in the tiny space placed between them.
this is more exploratory than their usual, somehow fast-paced and slow all at once, and he lets himself be dragged into jiaoqiu's pace, lets the trace of his hands and the wet warmth of his tongue start to rile him up, too. the top comes up, fabric bunching up under his arms and baring the long expanse of his tan skin to be touched, baring old bruises and hickies left behind by jiaoqiu's mouth. and, like always, he's quiet, but his eyes flutter and his body moves along with jiaoqiu's, arching up, flushing pink with enough attention. the hand in his hair snarls when he bites him somewhere therion likes it, his hips twitching with a jingle noise, his short nails scratching in against his scalp to get a better grip as his breath speeds up and he presses himself back against the dresser and then forward, occasionally getting in his way as he touches just to be a brat. these movements are not nearly as practiced as his silent infiltration - each twitch gets that soft, jingly noise until he realizes what's happening, and it stops.
by the time he's made his way down, therion's hard in the loose pants of the costume, undeniably affected by this feral behavior, and when jiaoqiu's paying attention to the bony curve of his hips, he can likely feel the way, subtly, he rolls forward, seeking out a little friction despite mostly meeting open air. he can find that the waist belt is of equally high quality as the rest - on either side, delicate, thin gold chains of bells highlight his thighs, swooping downwards midway, designed to raise up on a twirl, but making an excellent place to slide your hands under, to tug and pull on if you so wanted to do, too.
he exhales out hard when jiaoqiu mouths at him, and there's a soft thunk as his head hits the back of the dresser - therion's fingers flex in his hair, slide through the pink strands once or twice in a wordless "good, good" as he lets out a breathless, low laugh. ]
Your tail's wagging. [ he can't help himself but be a little shitty. if he had one, it'd probably be wagging too? he can't just say he looks good like this, even though he does. ]
no subject
the little interruptions, therion getting in his way as he makes his way down, make him growl - makes him bite in places he's not intending to. but mostly? he's reactive. therion scritches his nails against his scalp, he yanks his hair, and jiaoqiu sighs out hot breaths against his skin as a reward, arching up into the touch. there's something pleased and fueled by the fact that therion seems to like this as much as he does - he was a little worried, but the fact that therion's hard and squirming in his grip makes him sink down further into claiming territory.
and when therion points out that his tail is wagging, he grumbles. ]
You smell good.
[ that's his excuse and he is sticking to it. his voice is low and a little huffy, but he doesn't stop. instead, he brings his hand up to curl into one side of that belt and tugs therion's hips forward just enough, almost like a preview. his left ear flicks at the sound it makes, and for a moment he considers just leaving therion's pants on, coaxing therion into coming on the pretty fabric, but his mind wanders elsewhere.
he's going to see if this belt can be disconnected from the pants, because he can't stop thinking about fucking therion in as much of this outfit as he possibly can. whether it's jiaoqiu topping or bottoming, he doesn't care, he just wants it on. he investigates as he absently noses at therion through the fabric and then up, pressing kisses against the skin peeking out from the curve of the waistband. ]
no subject
his hips jump as he's manhandled, because that's definitely unusual, and therion lets out a - ] Hah. [ noise that might be a laugh at jiaoqiu's grumbling, or it could just be a rough, thrilled exhale, nearly drowned out by the chimes of the waist piece that rattle again when he moves out of sheer instinct instead of purposeful movement. grin a little wild, his actual, meant to be snarky response comes out more breathless than he likes: ] Yeah, sure.
[ as for the belt!! feeling around, jiaoqiu can find it's held into place just by a simple ribbon tie at the back of his pants - primrose tied it in a bow, unbeknownst to him - but it does come off easily beyond that. just an accessory. he seems to figure out what he's doing as he investigates, and therion arches up a little further, purposefully pressing up into the friction that comes from having him so close like a brat, especially now that he's moved the wet pressure of his mouth off of his dick? rude? typical thief, always have to take.
and typical thief, in that he can't really keep his hands still. he finds jiaoqiu's side braid, a personal favorite, and digs his fingers into that, too, fucking it up with his hands and giving a little pull. no, come back here. ]
no subject
the sound of the bells and coins jingling is going to be a pavlov thing for him, he's realizing. oh well.
jiaoqiu lets out another growl when therion fucks up his braid - but he doesn't seem to mind all that much, nor does he mind that therion keeps squirming to try and get friction. he's been there, first of all. he allows therion to tug him back over, and this time, as he's absently licking at therion's dick over the fabric, his hands are busy. he unties the belt, and then reties it around therion's waist, unattached to the pants and just hanging out there. the accessory settles against his skin instead, prettily.
from there, jiaoqiu slides his fingers over and under the waistband, and drags the costume down just enough to get at skin. he doesn't let the costume go far, just around therion's thighs, just under his ass, and takes therion in hand, stroking him idly as he readjusts, settling on his knees. really, he's probably a nice sight, on his knees in front of therion, hair mussed, gold eyes molten hot, mouth open just enough to be inviting. he likes it when therion takes, so - take, his expression says, as he rests the head of therion's cock on his tongue, sliding forward slow.
his mouth can do all the work, he thinks. he is going to get his hands into the fabric, dragging his palms up therion's still clothed thighs. ]
no subject
well, he can't be judgy for long. especially not with jiaoqiu on his knees, looking for all the world like a cat (no, a fox) in heat. it'll be funny later when it's not so attractive, not when jiaoqiu's mouth is practically begging for him, a reminder from many a prior experience. he's pretty good at giving head, and the deja vu of sensation has him easily shifting, planting his heels down and shifting his feet apart as much as he can - the way jiaoqiu's half peeled him out of the pants means he really can't move all that much, which he'd find a lot more annoying if he wasn't focused more on the slide of jiaoqiu's mouth around his cock. between the dresser and the presence in front of him, the half undressed nature of his costume, he's kind of trapped, which comes with its own set of feelings - he's trapped, right now, because he's allowing himself to be.
therion hisses through his teeth when jiaoqiu takes him in his mouth, head staying back against the dresser and hands sliding into his hair, fucking up the braid on the other side to match the first. he can meet him there, can absolutely take a hint, and his hips slide forward, easily, following the contour of jiaoqiu's tongue and pulling on his hair, tugging him along. testing the waters, so to speak, if only because he would love to fuck into his mouth with reckless abandon, but he's got at least a shred of common decency, no matter how good that feels.
the rock of his hips does get another faint jingle noise, though now that it's set at its his waist, less so, not while he's still being careful (ish) - it's sort of a background sensation, much like the fabric of the costume, a distant silky slide compared to jiaoqiu's mouth, though the feeling is nice. nicest for jiaoqiu, likely - the taut tenseness of therion's thigh muscles can be felt easily through the silky fabric, from a lifetime of jumping and running, and he can feel them twitch when he delves deeper into his mouth, the way the pleasure shocks up his spine nearly made physical. ]
no subject
in any case, therion follows along beautifully, and jiaoqiu lets out a sigh of pleasure, high and soft, almost a moan. he doesn't close his eyes, just lets them ease to slits as he watches therion cant his hips forward. the decency is nice, sweet, but absolutely unneeded, and he lets therion know that pretty quickly. he slides down, as far as he can go - he wants to bury his face against therion's stomach, he wants to have all of his senses filled. when he pulls back, he takes a shuddery breath and sinks back down, bobbing his head as his tongue glides over sensitive, hot skin. his ears tilt back, but it's not out of anxiety or fear; it's focus, the zen of opening his throat and letting therion do whatever he wants.
it's the twitch of his thighs, the muscles shifting under the fabric, that makes jiaoqiu have to shift where he's kneeling. his pants are uncomfortably tight, and all his fur is standing up on end from how aroused he is to do this.
he digs his fingers into therion's hip with one hand, fingers sliding around to just like, shamelessly grab therion's ass. the other reaches back up to yank at the belt, tugging therion forward with a jingling noise. go ahead, this is his permission to use his mouth however he wants to. therion knows how jiaoqiu likes it, considering he's got his hands tangled in jiaoqiu's hair.
if therion needs to get out of his pants further in order to get a good angle, jiaoqiu lets him, but he makes unhappy growling sounds about it. it's fine. at least the belt is still there. ]
no subject
good! good. it's never exactly gentle when they go at it - very, very rarely, save for one time, with laced fingers and a little desperation that still makes him burn when he thinks about it - and rough and wild is how he prefers it, and what he wants to give into. for his patience, he's rewarded with watching jiaoqiu's mouth work around his dick, which is always hot, watching him take him down to the hilt.
the yank startles him - it's the noise more than anything, and there's a jolt of undeniable arousal when he pulls like that, cock jumping in jiaoqiu's mouth at the sensation, because fuck, that's good. he's a fan of getting manhandled, too, a much better context for a very familiar experience, and he swears, digging the hands in his hair in harder. the unhappy growling would make him laugh, does get a brief sickle of a smirk to flicker across his face as he makes the connection for why, but it really does not last because he's also growling around his cock and that's really hot.
so instead, his breath shudders, and as he arches his hips backwards, he pulls nearly out of his mouth entirely, watches the sight of him with his ears back and his eyes half lidded, and then thrusts his hips forward, gliding down his tongue, the wet, perfect heat of his throat and the way it wraps around him. therion exhales harshly again, and this time the movement's a little less controlled as he starts to pulse forward, picking up the jangling sound with each thrust inwards. he pushes back into the hand on his ass, and then back out, raking his nails against jiaoqiu's scalp in his pleasure, using the grip he has on his hair to move his head so he doesn't have to move his hips as much. the teamwork between them means the costume can stay where it is, for now, silk bunched under jiaoqiu's hands. ]
no subject
and how much he likes to feel good himself, even. he squirms when therion twitches in his mouth - it takes a lot of effort not to let go of therion to shove a hand down his own pants. he only manages to resist because therion gives them a rhythm to work to and he wants to put all his effort into it. his own arousal takes a backseat for a moment as he loosens up, as he lets therion slide all the way out, and then push back in far enough to make him choke, slightly. not enough to stop him, though - there's a low growl in every breath that he lets out, gripping at the silk, rucking it up as he gropes at therion, drags his palms over skin and fabric, as his claws leave indents at his thighs. he lets therion rock roughly in and out of his mouth, swallowing around him, letting his tongue swirl around him when he can, following the way therion pushes his head down to meet his hips, wet and messy and slick.
if his fingers drag down, absently stroking over his entrance, like he's thinking about how he could press his fingers inside if he had the right prep - it's brief. it could be missed, just a motion of jiaoqiu adjusting his grip to make sure therion's stance doesn't get knocked askew by the pace.
maybe part of the appeal here is that jiaoqiu looks like he finds this as hot as therion does - when he manages to meet therion's gaze, with his lips wrapped around the base of therion's cock, he's a little blissed out, cheeks flushed and ears trembling slightly with the effort. and unlike previous times, he doesn't seem inclined to stop. his tail flicks against the ground behind him as he meets each rock of therion's hips, as he lets tiny moans vibrate around therion, only drowned out by the jingle of the belt. ]
no subject
therion's breath catches and he exhales out- ] Fuck, Jiaoqiu, you - [ whatever he's going to say is cut off, as he feels the pass of his fingers press to his entrance, and it's a familiar feeling and an unfamiliar one all at once. it startles him, his back arching, the bells and coins making a sharp, bright noise as his hips snap back almost automatically towards his fingertips, and then forward again, back into the heat of his mouth. it's overwhelming, so overwhelming that a noise chokes out of his mouth, nearly drowned out by the stupid belt.
there's no time to think about it, thankfully, no time to be embarrassed as he slams his hips back down his throat, the jingling getting louder as he starts to lose control of his movements. jiaoqiu looking up gets him an eyeful of therion with his face screwed up briefly in pleasure, eyes shut and mouth open, breathing harshly, flushed bright red - when he opens his visible eye, it's pitch dark, and the sight of jiaoqiu like that makes him twitch again, makes him pull at his hair to bring him off of his length and then back down, just how he likes it, using his mouth to get off with the selfish abandon of a thief. ]
Fuck, fuck - [ only, despite the selfish abandon, he swears as he moves, pushes his heel outwards the best that he can as jiaoqiu as trapped him and presses the inside of his foot against the front of jiaoqiu's pants, giving him something to grind up against that isn't just open air. ]
