Senji was masterful at hunting his prey. It mattered not if they walked on two legs or four, or if they soared through the sky on wings or dove through the waters of the world. It was a simple inevitability that if he wanted to find you, you would be found.  If he was hunting you for work, then death was almost always the outcome, but in some cases, it wasn't murder on his mind; although this was rare. There was hunting for pleasure as well, that had nothing to do with payment. He loved to hunt for the carnal desires of the flesh.

Today he hunted for neither. It had taken time. More time than he would care to admit. Finally he had tracked down his prey. For two days he had been watching Zantaric, knowing that the object of his desires was there. Today he would confront it. Today the hunt would end. The end of a hunt was always so bittersweet. The satisfaction of success against the thrill of the hunt.  So carefully he had stalked him, but would his care be in vain? Senji himself had trained this man. Could Maverick even be snuck up upon anymore? Years ago, years and years ago he would have been confident in his ability to surprise him, but now, he was not so sure.

Subtle grey hues made up his clothes as he moved through the shadows of the late evening. The city was full of riff-raff; it was the perfect home for someone like him. Someone like them.  No one disturbed him as he moved through the alleys. Few noticed his passage, those that did would not dare approach. His crimson eyes gleamed in a strange light. It would be difficult, if not impossible to read those eyes. Excitement? Desire? Murderous intent? Impossible to say.

A meticulous planner, Senji knew every last detail of his plan. He'd studied his prey, had learned his moving habits through the city. He knew were Maverick was staying, where the window was located. He knew the man's sleeping habits, knew that he would be in bed at this time of the evening, although not for much longer. The night called to people like them. He moved swiftly, scaling the building wall with the grace and silence of a stalking cat.

The window was open, as he knew it would be. Slipping inside, he gazed around in admiration. There in the shadows of the bed was his prey. A soft mound of flesh under the cover of blankets. He took a moment to savor the memory of seeing that very body so many times before, so many years ago. Twenty years was a long time to hold a grudge, too long. Slipping a dagger from his boot he moved quickly to the bed and leaped upon the form that lay there, pulling the covers back and raising the blade.

It had been a great many years since Maverick had seen his old friend., although he could not say for sure. Time was inconsequential when one was immortal. It could have been decades just as easily as centuries and it would have felt the same to him. Regardless, it was altogether too long.

For this reason he had returned to Zantaric. He needed to see Senji again. But, that was the only concession he was going to make. Maverick was here and that was enough. If his friend wanted him, he would have to come find him. Such was their relationship; they would have a falling out and separate for an indeterminable time, but they always returned in a stalking game of cat and mouse, neither admitting defeat or submission. Yet, both burning to have the other returned to them.

So Maverick had come, playing the waiting game. Pretending that he did not know Senji was close by or looking for him. Pretending that he was free and his business was his own and all the while knowing it was just a biding of time. Senji would come; it was just a matter of when.

Perhaps it was his connection to Senji or perhaps it was because the other man was truly that predictable to him but Maverick knew that as the moon rose on his third night in the city, his old friend would come for him. He rose early in anticipation of what was to come. The waiting was over; the hunting had just begun.

He settled down into an armchair just inside of the room's sole window's blindspot and was pleased when a shadow bled into the room not long after. Chin resting in hand, Maverick watched with a smirk curling his lips as his observed the lithe body slinking through his room.

A thin brow arched as moonlight glinted off the metal of the dagger but for the moment, Maverick continued with keeping his presence unknown, simply enjoying the calm before the storm. 'Is that how it will be tonight Senji?' he internally chuckled, his smirk widening.

Then at last the moment he had been waiting for, the big reveal. Years kept him from laughing aloud but he knew Senji would still hear it within his voice. After all, it was not often he was able to pull the wool over the other man's eyes like tonight. It truly had been too long.

Adopting a completely bored expression, Maverick finally let himself be known. His posture was relaxed, but lean muscles were still coiled to spring. Senji still had the knife to keep in consideration for now. Later it could be put to other uses though.

"Well it's about time you showed up. Certainly took you long, Senji."

Even as Senji had pulled back the covers to reveal nothing he'd known that, this time, he would taste defeat. Although the blankets had been properly bulged and folded, there had been no resistance between himself and the mattress.

Already a thousand reasons for his failure had crossed his mind, and all of them had been dismissed. Senji did not make mistakes. The reason for this was simply a matter of familiarity. Maverick had been his student for many years, and his friend, partner, and lover for many more. They simply knew each other too well. Maverick would have likely met with the same failure had their places been reversed.

All the tension that had been building up inside of him, waiting for this very moment, melted away. He'd played his card, now he could only wait for Maverick to show his hand, as it were. The wait was not long, mere moments. Despite himself, he could not keep a chill from running up his spine at the sound of Maverick's voice. How long had he yearned to hear it? Longer than he would ever admit to anyone, including himself.

It wouldn't have surprised him to have a knife pressed against his throat and that voice whispering in his ear, but no, the voice came from across the room. Instead he got barely contained laughter. He'd have almost preferred the knife. At least Senji could deal with an aggressive reception with more aggression. Ah well, that was just how it was. He couldn't really be surprised by this. Maverick always did have a way of getting under his skin in ways no one else alive ever could.

Rather than lash out, Senji twisted his body and stretched out comfortably on the bed, throwing one foot over the other, his back pressed against the head board as he made a show of tucking the dagger lazily back in his boot. The blade had only been for show, he wouldn't have really harmed his dear Maverick. Well, not much, anyway. He was the picture of comfort. Were one to look in on them right that moment they would never suspect that Senji had only moments before been intent on attacking anyone.

"Oh Maverick, Maverick, Maverick...A long time, indeed. Were you hoping for me sooner? Perhaps lying awake at night fantasizing about this very moment?" Oh wouldn't that have been sweet, but he would not ever get such a confession from Maverick, whether it was true or false. He would never had confessed to it either.

GoblinFae

Mercury orbs shuttered a moment longer than a blink as Maverick basked in the feeling of Senji's voice washing over him. It electrified him, sending pleasurable tingles across his back and through his limbs, leaving him feeling more alive than he had since their last parting. The lapse passed and his eyes reopened to return to the situation at hand.

"Hardly," he drawled back, knowing full well it was much more than that. No point in telling the demon currently on his bed though just how much he had suffered without him close by. That would just defeat the purpose of the game for it would be admitting defeat and far too early for either of them.

No, Maverick wanted to drag the game out, to try and force Senji to further submit. He already considered it a point in his favor that he had been the one sought out. Of course he also ignored the fact that he was the one that had come back to the city to begin with. It was trivial though. What mattered now was that they were both there in the same room with only a few short strides separating them.

Yet, it did not matter how excited the reborn demon was to see his old lover, he did not move, preferring to keep it all internally locked away for now. If he was going to suffer, Senji might as well do so too. It would irk the other man to be kept waiting after all.

So he remained in his chair, lounging back to get more comfortable as he combed his eyes up and down the other's body. Nothing escaped his gaze as he mentally cataloged any changes that may have been caused by his absence until there was nothing left for him to do but to address the troll in the room.

"What brings you so late? Surely I am not that important to garner such a late night visit from you of all people."

Senji had been anticipating this reunion for days, and now that the moment had come, he felt his tension building again. Seeking Maverick out had been as good as admitting that he'd wanted to see him. That he had missed him. Even if neither of them said it, they both knew. Secretly he worried that perhaps Maverick did not care whether he ever returned. With every parting he both longed for and dreaded the reunion.

Even now his eyes moved over Maverick's shadowed form, devouring him hungrily, just as he felt the other man's eyes traveling over him. He was a man drinking cool water in the oasis of a barren desert; the relief of his lover's mere presence was intense. Something of him had seemed missing, and only Maverick could make him whole again. He hated it.

What cruel joke had the gods played upon him? Why did he find himself unable to separate himself completely from this man? How many years would he have to suffer? Every moment together was an agony, every moment apart an eternity of torment. His greatest fear was that he suffered alone. Never could he reveal such weakness. Never could he admit his need for the other.

It would have been so much easier to simply surrender, then and there. To throw himself at Maverick's mercy. What a relief that would be, but his pride could never allow it. So he suffered in silence as they had there standoff. Each wanted to make the other bend and submit, to make the other surrender. Neither of them could do so without a fight.

It seemed like forever, but only a few moments had passed. Senji bristled slightly at the attempt to provoke him.  "You certainly aren't so important, Maverick, but to catch you right before you woke, to see you squirm with my dagger at your throat...Ah, but I taught you too well...I merely hope you remember that it was I who taught you all you know, but certainly not all I know..."

GoblinFae

"Oh what a hapless babe I must have been those centuries before I met you! Why I could not even buckle my shoes or brush my hair before I met you! Perhaps it is a good thing that I've had all this time away from you to start thinking for myself. Time to find a better teacher too."

Maverick was testing the waters, feeling out just how much he could get away with before Senji snapped. He loved being able to do this, push at seams until they burst, spilling stuffing everywhere. It was why he always returned, or perhaps why the other demon sought him out; the thrill of grappling for control was a drug like no other. No one and nothing had ever been able to repeat the feelings he experienced when he was with Senji.

With cat-like grace he rose fluidly from his making his way slowly and effortlessly to stand in front of the open window. He needed to move; sitting still while the one who set his blood aflame was laying so close was doing nothing for his concentration. If he did not move to the window where his hands now gripped the sill tight enough to cause pain, then he would be joining the infuriating demon and Maverick most certainly was not ready for that to happen, not when the game had only just begun.

A cool breeze danced in to tug at his thin robe, sporadically revealing and soothing his bare chest. Maverick had not even realized how flushed he had become until the cold tendrils caressed him. He quickly squashed the part of him that wished it was Senji doing it instead, though. Instead he focused on ignoring the aforementioned man and enjoying the night instead.

It was not unusual for them to exchange hateful words; both heated and cold remarks were often part of their relationship, twisted as it was. Time to find a better teacher too. Those words cut at Senji like no other words could. It was like a knife in his heart and it took all his effort not to give Maverick the satisfaction of seeing it bother him. His elegant features became like stone, crimson eyes blazing with an unbridled rage, but deeper, that fire was fueled by hurt.

It was all he could do just to lay still upon the bed as Maverick moved from his chair. Senji wanted to lash out at him, to strike him down for saying such a thing, perhaps even to scream at him. He blinked his eyes rapidly to dissolve scalding tears that refused to shed. Did Maverick purposely try to harm him? Did he not know what he did to him? Or perhaps he did not care. His fingers itched as he watched the wind caress his lover, why should it be allowed to touch him when he had to remain away? He feared what would happen should he try to touch Maverick at that moment. And so he remained as he was, tension filling him. Finally he was able to speak.

"I have favored you greatly through the years, Maverick, but do not mistake favor for license. You are not the only demon I have taught, and had any other spoken to me so I would have cut their tongue from their mouths for their insolence. Mind yourself, least you forget to whom you speak." His voice was like ice, a stark contrast to the fire in his eyes.

GoblinFae

Silvery eyes snapped to peer over his exposed shoulder. He knew that tone; it did not bode well. Of course if Maverick did not know better he would say that Senji was hurt by his barbs. But, there was nothing that could penetrate the demon's defenses, not even someone who had known him in more ways than one for centuries. There was nothing Maverick could do to break Senji and the gods knew he had tried. He was always trying; it was just part of the game. First one to break, first one to submit, lost.

'I may not be the only demon you have taught, but how many have you taken to bed and let do the things I do to you? You could no more maim me so grievously than I could leave you forever. Fate would not let it occur. No matter how many times I swear it's over, I somehow find myself right back to this. Why are you addicting Senji? I hate you!' Except Maverick did not hate him and he knew it and it sickened him. He wanted to hate him, but he could not do so, no matter how hard he tried.

Sighing, he turned around to face the lounging man fully. He was not about to apologize. That was just never done. Instead he thought of something else to say, something soothe the temper and to return it to the playful flame it had been only moments before.

"Boots off the bed, you're making a mess and I have to sleep in that filth later," he finally chastised softly, his voice barely above a whisper. His gaze had softened and lowered slightly to look up beneath silken bangs and long lashes. 'I hate you. I need you.'

The rage, the anger, the hurt boiled beneath the calm surface, just out of sight. Senji lived in eternal torment, his own living hell, and only he could free himself. Stubbornly he refused, as he had for centuries. All he would have to do is surrender, utterly and completely. If he could only admit to himself that what he felt was truly there, was something deep and profound and incomprehensible, he could possibly know peace. It was impossible. 

If he could not accept love for Maverick, why could he not bring himself to hate him either? Oh how he wanted to hate him. Hate was something he could understand, something he could accept and embrace. Ah, but he could not, no matter how he tried, and he had tried so very hard. So he suffered as the fires of both desire and hate raged a war inside him. Maverick's words had cut him to the core and still he could not bring himself to hate him.

A dark, ominous tension had filled the room, the air thick with anticipation. Senji could have lashed out, could have become unable to keep himself in check any longer, but Maverick came to his rescue, ironically enough. The tension broke and evaporated with such a simple gesture, such a simple admonishment. Senji let his lips curve into a smirk, the fire in his eyes dampened from a ranging inferno to a smoldering mirth. "I am not making a mess. Why would I make a mess in the bed I plan on sleeping in?"

Senji could have melted under that gaze; he almost longed to be putty in Maverick's hands. Almost. How was it that Maverick could put out a burning rage and ignite an inferno of desire so easily? Only a moment before he'd wanted nothing more than to hurt him, and now he just wanted to hold him. His willpower to stay away was quickly fading. Senji burned to touch Maverick, to caress him, to kiss him. It wasn't even just a sensual desire. What he truly wanted was a simple connection. 'I hate you. I need you.'

GoblinFae

Just like that it was gone. The suffocating darkness that had been closing around them and spreading in between them, had vanished in the blink of an eye. That did not mean that Maverick stopped being cautious though. He had always walked on that fine line between peeking Senji's interest and sending him over the edge. He was not in the mood to clean up the demon's mess though as he inevitably would be left to do.

The silver-eyed demon remained where he was, head bowed, gentle wind tugging on his hair, and thoughts awhirl. 'Damn you Senji. Damn you for making me feel this way, for making me want to lose to just to win. I'm not going to break for you. But, then again neither will you. Why do we bother with this game? What is there to get out of it? What happens when we are both too tired to play anymore? Where do we go from here? What do we do now? Will I survive it? I know you will. Always do.'

Distractedly, Maverick replied, mercury gaze trained on the floor as his thoughts began to consume him. A hint of a smirk curled his lips though, indicating should the other be looking, that he was jesting and that there was no fire behind his taunting.

"Who said I would let you sleep there? It is my bed after all. I don't remember you paying for the room."

The feeling of a standoff was becoming unbearable. Senji wished that Maverick would just give in and come to him. One of them always had to bend first. He hated the idea of it being him, but eventually he would not be able to stop himself. There was part of him that wished to break Maverick, but that was also the part the wished to hate him. The other side, the one that desired nothing more than to be with his silver-eyed lover, didn't want to break Maverick at all.

Senji feared losing Maverick more than he feared anything else in this miserable world. It was perhaps the only thing he truly feared. The thought of living without the other demon was more than he could ever bear.  If it came right down between his pride and the threat of losing Maverick forever...even Senji did not know who would win. If face with such a thing could he still bring himself to fight? Or would it bring him to his knees?

Such thoughts were forced away. He did not want to think about them. They hurt too much and they were too frightening to contemplate. The thing that bothered him most about it was how much he cared. Idle banter would distract him. A huff was given as Maverick questioned him teasingly. "I don't recall asking or caring if you said I could or not. I said I was going to sleep here, and I've made you enough money over the years that I think it hardly matters whose pocket the money came from."

A devious expression lighted Senji's face. "Besides, we both know you want me here."

GoblinFae

"Do I?" Maverick asked aloud, feeling the question echo within him for further analysis. 'Do I really? Do I want my life to be forever stuck in this cycle, we chase, we pursue, we collide, we fall and begin again? Why have I allowed this to go on so long? Am I really that much of a masochist? Or do I just enjoy his flavor of sadism? I hate you Senji. Most of all I hate you for winning.'

Maverick pushed off the window sill and let the robe slide down his shoulders to pool on the floor as he slunk his way to the foot of the bed clothed in only a loose-fitting pair of pants. Even if he was being the one to make the first move he still made it look like he was a lion stalking the antelope rather than a puppy obeying the master's call. 'Because that's what I am to you, isn't it. I'm just your little toy who eagerly comes when he's called to be pet and made to stay until I piss you off again. That's all I'll ever be, until one of us finds something better. Not that there is anything that could be better than you, you narcissistic bastard.'

"Why would I want you here? It's hardly the ideal image of sublime comfort. What if I wanted you somewhere else? What then? Or have I broken your image again, your majesty?" he questioned, straight-faced as he dropped in a bow before the foot-board, arms spread wide in mock-forfeit. But, then that knowing smirk ruined the image while he straightened to face his teacher. Maverick was not so easily beaten.

There was no denying that they were trapped in a vicious cycle, but it was a cycle of their own making. Either of them could break it at any time, but to do so would require sacrifice. Senji's arrogance was a bluff; the simple truth was that he desperately hoped that Maverick wanted him. The question that hung in the air had struck him like a hammer blow.

Crimson eyes narrowed as they watched, almost transfixed as the thin fabric cascaded to the floor, his breath hitching in his throat at the sight of Maverick's bare chest. It was quite the delicious sight, wasn't it? He always had admired his lover's figure. If only he could hear the thoughts running through the other's mind. A toy? There had been so many toys; so many pets in his life that it would be hard to count or even remember them all. Maverick was no toy or pet.

How could he tease him so? Those words stung, but not so badly as before. It wasn't until he threw in the 'your majesty' and the mock bow that Senji moved. His legs swung over the side of the bed, his movements were slow, but purposeful as his boots touched the floor. His hands rested against the bed on either side of himself, gripping the coverings. "You're right, why should you want me here? Tell me how badly you want me to leave Maverick. I'm just dying to know."

He couldn't breathe, could barely think. What if he was told to go? Would Maverick really demand he leave? Would it kill Maverick to admit that he wanted him to stay? Perhaps he should have waited a bit longer to return, but he couldn't see how it would have helped. Staying away longer would have only prolonged his suffering.

GoblinFae

Senji was right. Maverick could not send him away, but nor would he beg him to stay. Admitting either was asking too much of him. The rules of the power-play only applied as long as the status quo remained intact. That caustic "L" word would ruin them both. Perhaps the demon sitting on his bed would survive it but Maverick knew he would not make it out alive. He had to proceed with caution from here on out.

'Just like old times indeed. Damn you, Senji! Damn you to the deepest pit known on this god-forsaken earth. How do you always do this to me?'

He sighed, tossing his head so that his long hair swept out of his eyes. 'Do you really want to know that answer, Senji?' Maverick's eyes questioned as he leaned his forearms heavily on the foot-board. 'Neither do I.'

"Take me with you," he whispered before clearing his throat and speaking more confidently. "Surely you have somewhere better for us to spend the night than this hovel? You cannot tell me the great and powerful Yamada demon did not plan this far ahead. You always have a plan."

Senji was torn; every second was agony as he waited for a response. He knew it would be too much to ask that Maverick beg, ask, or even demand that he stay. Part of him wished that Maverick would tell him to go. Perhaps if he did, then Senji could be free at last. Maybe if Maverick would just push him away he could finally convince himself to stay away. Deep down he knew that nothing would make the ache in his heart stop, nothing short of what he could not ask of Maverick.

His crimson eyes met silver ones, and he knew that knowing the answer could very well be as bad as not knowing it. Even if he could ever bring himself to admit and accept his feelings for Maverick...what if Maverick could never accept them from him? He knew Maverick well, but his heart was still a secret from him in so many ways. Senji could not even be sure if the object of his most true desires even cared about him at all. Did Maverick love him? Even in the smallest measure? If praying was something he did, he would pray that it was so.

Then those whispered words flowed over him, washing away all other thoughts. A thrill of pleasure rippled through him and he did not try to hide it this time, letting a soft shudder course through him. The silver-eyed beauty could have stopped speaking then and there, it was enough for Senji. To hear those words were all he needed. Indeed, he wished that Maverick could have just kept his mouth shut.

Still, he supposed that sarcastic bastard had somehow stolen his heart, so he must just be a glutton for punishment. He rolled his eyes, but his lips curled into a pleased smirk. Who cared if Maverick was being a smartass? He was still praising him. Still, the other had been nothing but cruel to him since he arrived, no way he was just going to let it all slide. With that wicked smirk he rose and moved slowly towards his lover, getting close he leaned in to whisper softly to him, all while locking gazes with those gorgeous mercury eyes.

"What makes you think I want to take you with me? Maybe my plan was to come here, remind you what you've been missing, and then leaving you to rot?" He kept his voice to a seductive whisper.

GoblinFae

With hawk-eyes, Maverick watched his lover approach with anxiety-filled anticipation. There was never telling what Senji would do next. Every step he took closer though lessened his resolve and disturbed the tight control he held over himself. There was no escaping from the crimson-eyed demon. One could hide, but not forever, never forever.

He was standing too close now. His very voice sent lightning bolts of pleasure from Maverick's heart to the very tips of all his extremities. Without even touching him, Senji was killing him with pleasure. Oh how he had missed this!

Turning his head slightly to eye Senji with one cool mercury eye, the older demon could feel the cords in his neck tightening in expectation. His lips felt dry so like with all good cause and effect he licked them, wishing it was someone else doing that for him.

Maverick leaned in close to the other demon without touching, his lips mere centimeters away from the other man's ear. Then in a whisper he responded, pouring all his longing into words that did what he wished he had the courage to do. He hated how they were able to caress and consume Senji in ways he himself could not.

"I could live with that. Could you?"

Every muscle in his body tensed as he internally fought himself not to just reach up and touch Senji. Maverick wanted nothing more than to smash his mouth against the other's, grip the pulsing artery in the demon's throat and feel it dance against his palm, to grapple for the physical control over the smirking demon's body that he had not had in years.

"Too long," he muttered, not even realizing he had said it aloud.

Approaching Maverick was a gamble, but one that Senji couldn't resist making. He was putting himself within striking distance, but it went both ways. If the other decided to make a move he couldn't be certain that he would be able to successfully resist him. He didn't even know if he wanted to resist. The sound of his heart reverberated through his body; it was a wild, hammering drumbeat.

The closeness of their bodies, it was almost unbearable how very close he was to Maverick. Senji could feel the other's breathe dance upon his skin. Just to maintain control was a struggle. As his lover whispered into his ear electrical shocks of pleasure coursed through him, had he been anyone but himself those words might have caused his smirk to slip.

No, he knew the answer to that. Never. He could not survive without Maverick. That he, Senji, prince of demons, taker of lives, lover of many, could need someone so explicably...

The smirk never changed, he couldn't show Maverick his weakness, not now. Then came the second whisper, faint and barely audible, obviously not meant to be spoken aloud. The words sent a shock through his body, breaking what little restraint he had managed to hold onto up to that point. His right hand reached up, tangling into Maverick's hair and pulling his head back, exposing the other demon's throat to him.

It took less than two seconds for him to admire the beautifully pulsing vein before he crashed his lips harshly against Maverick's own. The thought to bite him had occurred, but he wanted the other's lips even more. He poured all the things he couldn't say, all the emotions he couldn't vocalize, all the longing, desire, hunger...all of it went into that kiss. Somehow he desperately needed Maverick to understand him. To truly understand him.

'Oh Maverick, do you not realize that you're the most magnificent creature I've ever laid eyes on? Is it really any wonder I can't stop coming back for more?'

GoblinFae

The sting that came from having his head pulled back sent a rumbling up through his chest was quickly stifled by a bruising pair of lips devouring his own. Maverick's smirk grew at the knowledge that he had been beaten from doing the exact same thing by mere seconds. 'We're getting predictable old friend. What would you say if you knew that?'

The answer did not matter right now, if it ever did to begin with. Senji's kisses were overwhelming him. It broke his cold heart to think that he was the only one that wanted more out of this but, that was not going to stop him from taking every last ounce of lust he could from the other man.

One hand rose to grip the back of Senji's neck, forcing the demon closer in an unspoken beg for more while the other dug dull nails into the aggressor's forearm. Maverick hungered for this. Each new taste was a teaser to something more; he just could not get enough no matter how much he took, there was always more to be had.

A primal moan escaped his lips as he sank his teeth roughly into Senji's bottom lip. It was not enough to cause damage but it would sting. He wanted to make the demon remember the pain that came from their parting. Maverick pressed himself flush against the other demon already beginning to fight for control as he pushed one leg forward between Senji's in an attempt to move them back to the bed.

At that moment Senji didn't care if he was predictable or not. In a way, it just made their relationship all the more intimate that they could predict the other's behaviors. Now if only they knew each other's hearts so well. If only they knew each other's thoughts. Lust was simply not enough, it would never be enough.

His were closed, he didn't need to see; just what he was feeling was overwhelming; the hand on his neck, drawing him closer, the feel of those lips against his. The feel of his body so tightly pressed against his brought shivers to his limbs, though his skin was almost feverish to the touch. Those eyes fluttered softly as he groaned, body arching at the feel of those teeth against his lip. Maverick could have inflicted any amount of pain to his flesh, to Senji it was the sweetest of caresses, no amount of pain could compare to the pain of being apart from him and any amount of pain was worth the reunion.

One hand remained tangled in the other's hair as he felt himself being pushed back towards the bed. His free hand moved to let his nails scrap harshly across his lover's side. Both of them would undoubtedly have marks before this was over. The leg between his unbalanced him slightly but he dug his heels into the floor. He had to resist, if Maverick got him pinned down there would be no way for him to regain the advantage. More than that, he needed to put on a good show of opposition, he couldn't simply surrender, no matter if he wanted to or not.

He tugged on Maverick's hair again, pulling his lips away with a soft hiss. Senji jerked Maverick's head, just enough so that he could drop his head down enough to sink his teeth against the beautiful flesh of his neck, certainly hard enough to bruise. A moment later his tongue flicked out to soothe the abused skin. How he had missed Maverick. The way he moved, the way he smelled, and certainly the way he tasted.

Every moment tested his resolve and he knew he was slowly losing the battle.

GoblinFae

A soft gasp unwillingly escaped his released lips but Maverick was diving dangerously close to the point where nothing mattered anymore except for the bastard demon at his throat. His side was alight with fire from the clawing, 'or was it a gentle caress?' The elder of the pair never could seem to remember how he got half the marks that appeared on his body once the morning's light greeted them both.

He extended his neck back, further exposing his throat to the other male. His head ached and that was the story he was sticking to because there was no possible way that the demon could actually be enjoying the bites that would temporarily mark him as belonging to Senji.

'I've become a slave to the affections of the prince of demons.' A half-moan, half-chuckle bubbled from his throat at the thought. 'Just when you think you can't fall any harder or further, you fall in love with the unlovable. Oh, now what's this Senji? We both know you can't resist me forever.'

Maverick's hands relaxed their fierce grips into something closer to lover's gentle caress. The hand on Senji's neck began to massage coaxingly while the other left his arm to explore down his back. He moved slowly as if his actions were meant to soothe a wild horse, raising and lowering his hand in soft rubbing motions. The intention behind the movement though was far from being without manipulation as Maverick began to gently tug on Senji's tunic in an effort to level the playing field a bit.
