His heart dropped a little at what he was hearing. It was too much, wasn't it? He couldn't really do that. But he had to try or fail by default.

He struggled to get enough air, feeling so crowded out by Artorius, so entirely overwhelmed in all of his senses that he had to keep telling himself to breathe.

Almost in a trance the shifter tugged and pulled at his lover just as much as he squirmed to practically crawl onto his lap, all just to bring them eye-to-eye. He stared at the mismatched pools, his heart leaping into his throat as he came upon him in a hungry, crushing kiss. If he didn't want it to be over it wouldn't be. He could give him what he wanted. But the shifter still struggled with how to make someone as bullheaded as he was do anything. It was a start, he hoped.

A soft groan of frustration escaped Julian and a wave of heat enveloped him. His skin felt flushed beyond any remote sense of comfort and he conceded to remove his hands from the man briefly, squirming his way out of the stuffy tunic and carelessly tossing it aside before leaning into him fully again. Though, that only made him painfully aware of the taut fabric of his trousers clinging to him and he paused everything to whimper needily against Artorius's lips. He trembled all over, almost too emotionally exhausted to continue on but desperate not to show any other signs of weakness to the gambler.

GoblinFae

Free to press skin against skin, the older man immediately began to allow his hands to roam hungrily across silken skin. He could feel the way his little mouse shook like a leaf atop him and recognised that the breaking point for his pet was far too close. Artorius had only intended to stretch the other man's limits but never to break them. A broken toy after all was a useless one.

He tangles his fingers in dirty blond hair to pull Julian's head gently to the side so that his own lips rested against the other man's ear. "Forgiven," he breathed into the shell before cradling him soothingly. His pet had done enough for the moment. The heat of passion could dwindle without being extinguished now as Artorius caressed and stroked the younger man in his lap. "Very good my pet. Very good indeed."

A short, shuddering breath escaped him once he was released from his burden. The young shifter's body relaxed immediately, heavily leaning into Artorius for support. His eyes half closed out of exhaustion and the weight of emotion that didn't seem to be affecting the gambler at all. Strangely the longer he sat there quiet and still the more he realized his desires had not disappeared and were only dampened for the moment. It made him feel a little weak and powerless.

But the soft mumblings of praise for him and his gentle touch were enough to distract from that. Julian hummed quietly in acknowledgement, the sound taking on an almost purring quality. In the moment it pleased him greatly to know he deserved those words at all.

"Thank you," he whispered, turning his head to nuzzle affectionately against Artorius's hand and brush a few light kisses to his palm and wrist. "I'm sorry," he added quietly, hoping he would know he was sincere about his fumblings.

GoblinFae

Pleased to have guessed correctly, Artorius allowed Julian to be still and almost limp in his lap as he continued his own almost gentle kissing and caressing. The sounds his pet made were simply delightful and he reveled in the knowledge that he would get to hear them for quite some time to come in the future if he played his cards appropriately. The fact that his pet was still reciprocating the affection shown to him only served to please him further.

"And what do you have to apologize for now, my little pet? Hmm? What have you already managed to do but seconds after being forgiven?" Artorius teased, mildly curious to hear what Julian would have to say in response.

Julian's eyes went wide and he shook his head firmly. "Not now, just- I'm sorry I assumed before. About...kissing you," he answered, swallowing nervously against the lump in his throat. It had seemed to be what had set him off at least and the shifter was not eager to earn his ire again so soon after clearing the air.

"I'll...be better," he promised, leaning close to rest his head against Artorius's shoulder. Briefly he nuzzled at the softer skin along the side of his neck and peppered him with light kisses, quite unable to help himself or keep his hands off of him.

GoblinFae

"Yes you will," Artorius agreed firmly yet not unkindly. While he had relented in the pressuring and teaching of his new pet he refused to take a step backwards for the benefit of the other man. Julian would be continually pushed further and further only stopping when he risked breaking before being stretched anew later.

He accepted his toy's affections openly while reciprocating such gentle touches in kind albeit much slower than before. Artorius nudged Julian away though after a time so that he could lean in himself and place an undemanding and extremely gentle for him kiss upon the other man's lips. Afterwards he simply looped his arms about Julian's waist and was content to just hold the younger man quietly.

While the gentler moment was welcome it was just as confusing to him. How could he be so demanding, so overwhelming and then suddenly not? It seemed like a skill that took much restraint. The shifter could certainly respect that he was capable of it, but more importantly it showed him that Artorius was not entirely at either extreme.

With a happy little hum Julian easily relaxed in his arms, hugging him close and trying not to think about how such a nice moment would have to end sooner or later. He would never mistake Artorius for an exceptionally kind man and the echo of his earlier demands made the young shifter shudder with both delight and anticipation. There was still a bit of coiled tension within him, though, wary of the gambler flipping on him again to show some of his earlier aggression.

He was hesitant to ask, to disturb the peaceful silence that had fallen between them, but once he'd settled enough and his trembling had calmed the shifter tilted his head to peek up at him curiously. "Is there anything else you want right now?" he asked slowly, hoping he might be released for the moment but not wanting to leave the gambler unhappy if he'd meant to ask for more.

GoblinFae

Artorius paused as he considered Julian's request, letting the inquiry hang in the stillness for several heartbeats before finally sighing and allowing his embrace to release the smaller man. "Take your rest. You've earned it, pet." The gambler drew away, disentangling himself easily before rolling off the bed altogether to get dressed.

"Don't go causing any trouble now," he teased in a tone that brooked no argument as his mismatched pair of eyes flashed in serious. Once he was dressed again in fresh clothes he turned to smirk at Julian. "I'm off to work now, little mouse," he purred, leaning in to place an almost mockingly sweet peck to the other man's temple. "Don't wait up for me tonight, lovely."

"Work?" Julian wrinkled his nose at that, expression twisting to a look of pure confusion at essentially being dropped like he was nothing after all of that.

It sparked a bit of jealousy within him, the shifter aware of what Artorius considered to be "work" and finding it personally very unimportant compared to what he'd assumed the gambler would have wanted from him. It also nurtured a bit of distress at the idea of him being out of his sight again, uncertain if he could even trust Artorius to return to him. He didn't want to have to hunt the man down again, it was far too much of a blow to his dignity and pride.

"I don't need rest," Julian grumbled stubbornly, scrambling to the edge of the bed but hesitant to move off of it as he stared pleadingly at the gambler.

GoblinFae

"Yes work, pet. You know that thing I have to do that pays the bills so you can live in the lap of luxury." He eyed the other man sternly, waiting to see if Julian would try to leave the bed or not. Seeing that he remained, he relaxed his stance some but was still wary in case his little mouse decided to be disobedient again and garner himself another punishment so soon after the completion of the first.

His face broke out into a lecherous smile though as he responded to Julian, "you'll need plenty of rest for when I get back my little mouse." Artorius winked and licked his lips before turning to leave. "Be good little mouse. I'll be back to feed you some cheese later tonight. Don't go getting into trouble."

The shifter just stared at him in disbelief. Did he really think that was enough to keep him there? It was a nice idea, sure, but he still felt the need to ensure it and not leave it up to his new lover to accomplish on his own.

"I don't get into trouble," he called softly after him, crossing his arms over his chest as he glowered at the door and the vast hall of the tavern he knew to be beyond it.

"Troubles finds me," he grumbled to himself, not satisfied at all with the idea of staying put in the room by himself while Artorius was off to have his fun. It wasn't long until he'd made up his mind, carefully climbing to wobbly feet and padding to the door.

Just a peek couldn't hurt. Just enough to keep an eye on him, make sure he wasn't going to run.

GoblinFae

Having not heard what Julian said after he left, Artorius merrily made his was downstairs to the main floor and scoped out the room. A few patrons had already begun to gather for the evening but there were still enough empty tables for the gambler to feel comfortable and uncrowded. He meandered his way over to the far side of the room by the warm fire where a trio of older men had begun to play cards.

Without waiting for an invitation, he promptly grabbed the last remaining chair, spun it around and plopped himself down in it so that his chest rested against the back of it. "So gents, what we playin' tonight?"

But that would be too clingy, he told himself, scowling at the door and backing away.

The shifter paced restlessly for a few moments before moving to sit at the edge of the bed. He would only be still a few moments more before repeating the process again. And again. Time moved far too slowly and a glance out the window told him hardly any had passed at all and they were still comfortably into the afternoon.

When at last he couldn't take it anymore Julian moved his restless feet to shuffle towards the door again, finally lifting his hand to open it in defeat and head down towards the familiar tables from the night before.

It took him no time at all to locate Artorius. In fact, it startled Julian to realize he'd scented him quite easily, knowing where he was before even looking across the room at him.

He approached the full table silently, unfazed at the lack of space. It seemed there was at least enough room for another chair to wedge in at the corner between Artorius and the thin man beside him.

Dragging a chair up and taking a seat he glanced to the others around the table before letting his eyes linger on Arty with a mumbled, "Afternoon," thinking he could stay out of the game if he kept his hands on his lap.

GoblinFae

Artorius rolled his eyes in displeasure at the sudden appearance of his rather disobedient pet. There would be punishment later but for now he had to keep one eye on the game and two on the increasingly infuriating little mouse beside him. It was not like the gambler had the extra eye to spare either. He could only hope that his streak of good luck would persist and the lady herself would continue to smile her favour upon him now that trouble had decided to join the table.

The other gamblers thought nothing of Julian's arrival and simply accepted his arrival by dealing him into the game. "Loser buys next round of drinks," the dealer quickly declared before peeling at his hand.

Bright green eyes flickered in confusion between the other players, Artorius, and the cards being placed in front of him. He shuffled anxiously in his chair at the dealer's announcement and offered a bashful grin as he reached to slowly push the cards towards the center of the table. "I, um... I'm sorry, I didn't mean- I'm not joining your game. Just here to watch," he offered in explanation, chuckling under his breath and shaking his head as if to say that it was just some small, silly misunderstanding.

GoblinFae

"You sit at the table, you join the table, lad," the dealer declared. "The hand canna be returned once it's been dealt. Yer in boy, there's no watchin' only gamblin'. You wanna watch, then pay up and forfeit."

Artorius ignored the conversation and instead tossed a handful of coins on the table, "I'm in." He refused to even look at Julian now that the foolish man had joined their game. If his pet was going to get himself into this mess then he could allow him to flounder and suffer a bit for his troubles. It would be amusing to watch anyway, might as well enjoy the show while it was in town.

Pay up? With what?!

Julian fidgeted nervously, opening and closing his mouth trying to figure out how to nicely phrase his angry, petulant thoughts. Instead he remained silent about not having the coin to play as Artorius did and didn't say a word about how he actually wasn't at a proper place at the table and had simply pulled up a chair to watch the game.

Refusing to acknowledge that he was "in" at all he remained in his seat, crossing his arms with a scowl and leaving the cards face down on the table.

GoblinFae

"Ah," declared one of the men suddenly as if a flame had just sparked in his head. "It's alright lad. There be no shame in that form of payment," he purred patting Julian's thigh before giving his upper thigh close to the inside a quick squeeze. "Carry on lads, he's in to play," he said with a wink to the table. "Jus' bet your favors lad. We all know how this goes."

Artorius shuffled his cards about, trying and succeeding in keeping his amusement to himself. It seemed that Julian had gotten himself in quite the pickle with a table full of drunk and horny men wanting to gain free services from a youthful boy of a man like his pet. He wondered though if the other men even understood what he had just gotten himself into or not. No matter, Julian could sweat for a bit. There was money and favors to be won for now.

Juno

Julian abruptly scooted himself away from the man that got handsy with him, scowling and looking between the man and Artorius, fully expecting him to say something or at least put a stop to whatever was going on.

The topic being discussed eventually sunk in and all the young shifter could muster was a bark of disbelieving laughter. He shook his head and shoved the cards away even further to the middle of the table, still not looking at what he even had as he stood and kicked the chair away. "I'm not betting anything. I'm out. I was never in, but I'm out."

He turned angry eyes on Artorius to attempt to address him but he ended up saying nothing further and stalking away to the bar. There he sat, silently fuming over several drinks that the barkeep was hesitant to throw on Artorius's tab but eventually relented to Julian's whining.

Once he'd downed enough liquid courage he grabbed his last drink, dragged the chair back to the table and plopped himself down with a lazy smile. Elbowing him lightly he raised his mug with a matter-of-fact, "Thanks for the drinks."

GoblinFae

The elbow made Artorius grunt in disapproval but the mention of drink and Julian's smug grin made him see fire. At last he raised his steely gaze up to meet his pet's and if looks could kill then Julian would have been dead ten times over. "I believe the tart is trying to play hard to get, boys," he voiced huskily. "Screw making him play. He just wants to be the prize to the highest bidder, right?"

Without waiting for an answer he dealt the cards, skipping Julian and ordering the man next to him to play. "Let's not disappoint the harlot, gentlemen. A lady must always be paid their dues after all. Five rounds and winner at the end takes all." If his pet was going to be naughty then he could sweat a little on his own.
