Imagine taming the monster in your closet. Part three.
(So sorry it took so long!!! I have been skipping around in motivation and have like 15 half finished stories, then finally came back to this one!!! 😭 TW: Smut, tiny bit of blood.)
The night started the same way it always did. Work, dinner, then basking in the warmth and weight of Erebos as he curls close to you under your soft covers.
Erebos purrs deep in his chest, the sound distantly reminding you of thunder as it vibrated under your skin. His horns brush the headboard as he shifts, trying to fit into your personal space as much as he can like he always does — awkward, massive, and entirely too careful for something with claws and teeth that could splinter wood. Your headboard looks like a cat scratching board at this point due to his horns. You can’t even count how many scratches are in it, they overlap too much.
You roll over and press your hand to his chest, wanting to feel his warmth. It’s chilly tonight and his warmth sinks deep into your skin, chasing away the fall night air and the goosebumps that have risen from it. His bark-like plates are always warm under your touch, ridged and firm. Just beneath those plates are a softness — furred skin at the edges, places where your fingers dip down into to feel the texture on your fingers. It earns you a shiver from your monster.
“Is this place sensitive?” you whisper quietly, brushing your thumb just under the curve of his chest where the bark ends and the soft parts begin.
“It…yes,” Erebos stammers, his voice a growl and a tremble mixed together. He leans into the touch eagerly, but he says nothing more. He half expects you to pull away in disgust from the noise he makes, a soft chittering noise.
You can feel his claws twitch against your back, like he’s fighting every instinct to not pull you closer to him, to feel you completely pressed against his body. Erebos’ eyes are glowing a soft blue in the dark, his gaze gaze full of adoration and a hint of fear. He is always worried and afraid you will reject him. He always looks at you like this, as if you are his god and he doesn’t deserve even an ounce of your attention.
“Erebos…Do you want me to touch you more?” you test, your voice quiet yet coaxing. You lean closer until your lips brush against the curve of his jaw. Erebos shudders.
“Please,” he croaks in response, his voice trembling in an exhale. “May I touch you too…?”
Erebos asks you so carefully, like your answer means the world to him. It makes something in you melt. You take his massive hand and guide it to your waist, nodding.
“Yes,” you whisper in encouragement. “You can touch me wherever you want.”
Erebos moves like he is starving, but his touch is nothing if not gentle. He would never even think of harming you, and he’d never forgive himself if he hurt you. He kisses the hollow of your throat, his sharp teeth barely grazing your skin and sending shivers down your spine. His tongue follows almost timidly after his teeth, hot and rough as he licks along the same spot. Erebos wants to immerse himself fully in you, to breathe in your scent until he can think of nothing else. You feel the rumble of his growl in your bones as he presses his face to your neck, sniffing and kissing down it. Your scent makes his brain foggy with need.
“You are so warm and soft,” he whimpers, his tone turning into a soft whine. “I want to sink my teeth in, but I don’t want to hurt you…” You can feel his hands trembling with restraint, his grip on your hips tightening.
“Erebos, it’s okay,” you soothe softly, running your fingers down his back and delighting in the shiver it elicits from him.. “I want you to mark me. I trust you.”
It’s all the permission he needs. With a delighted moan, he sinks his teeth into your shoulder — still gentle with restraint, but still enough to just barely break the skin. You gasp, your grip on Erebos tightening in an attempt to ground yourself. Your skin is on fire underneath his touch, and as a reaction to the bite, your hips twitch against his. The sound he makes is a combination of a growl and whimper. He presses his body harder against yours in response, unable to stop himself from rutting against you like a beast in heat. He can’t believe that you’re real, and even more so, that you’re letting him have you.
He buries his face against your neck again. He’s pressing kisses and murmuring praises in his gravelly voice between each one as he continues to grind against you, grabbing beneath your thighs and pushing them up to give him better access. You moan in response, the position giving you much better friction to your needy core.
“Perfect…you are perfect.” He pants, “so soft and warm…” You can feel his claws digging into your thighs from how tight he’s holding on. Despite this, even as he grew more desperate, he never digs in enough to break the skin. He laps up the beading blood on your neck, his tail lashing behind him as he groans, rubbing himself harder against you. Erebos is trembling, trying to stay gentle when every instinct is screaming at him to take and mark you all over. You can see it in his eyes — wild, blue, glowing with need. And fear.
“I want to go further,” he pants, “But…what if I hurt you? I don’t know if I…”
You cup his cheek, brushing your thumb just under his eye. It makes him trail off with a shuddering breath.
“I’ll tell you if it’s too much,” you assure him, your own voice breathless. “Let yourself feel this. It’s okay.”
Erebos snaps, but in a way that makes arousal coil hotter in your stomach.
He surges forward, kissing you like he will die without it, his tongue rough and tangling against yours. It’s sloppy, messy, and so so good. His fangs are brushing against your lips, catching on them occasionally. He slides his hands under your ass, lifting you with ease to angle you the way he wants. Your hands instinctively reach out and grab his shoulders, your fingers digging into the firm muscles there.
You hear a ripping noise and practically squeak when the cold air hits your lower body, your eyes wide in surprise as you look up at him.
“E-Erebos-” you breathe out, then shudder when he shifts his hips, his warm, blunt cock notching at your entrance. You bite your lower lip to stifle a whimper at the feeling, the thick head pressing insistently there.
When he finally enters you, he is careful. So slow and trembling as he whines at the feeling of your tight hole clenching around him.
He moves, pulling out until the tip of his cock is resting inside you before plunging back in hard, his hips hitting yours. He growls at the feeling of your warmth at the same time as you let out a deep moan. His instincts are being held by a thread and they snap at your plea for more.
He’s rough and slow at first, pulling out slowly and snapping his hips against yours, then he pick up the pace and you’re whimpering and moaning underneath him. His teeth grazes your neck, your shoulder, your jaw — biting you and marking your skin with teeth marks as he growls and whines. His claws never break the skin of your hips, but the pressure of his fingertips threatens to leave bruises.
You moan his name so sweetly and he whines, rutting deeper into you and panting your name like you’re the only thing he’ll ever worship.
“I’m yours,” you moan into his ear, your hands gripping his horns, to pull him closer, pressing him into your neck. “You don’t have to be alone anymore.”
That’s when he really let go, growling and pressing so deep inside you that you’re seeing stars. The pressure is building up inside you, coiling deep in your stomach as he goes faster, encouraged by your breathy moans.
“Please, please, let go, want to feel you.” He pants, nuzzling into your neck. Your vision whites out at his desperate pleading, your eyelids closing tight as pleasure spreads throughout your body. Your thighs squeeze the sides of his hips as you moan his name, shuddering against the bedsheets. He doesn’t last long after you, not with the scent of your arousal wrapped around him and the sound of your pleasure in his ears.
He cums with a strangled growl against your neck, burying himself as deep inside you as he can go. He clings hard to you as his shudders, panting quietly. His cum warms you from the inside out, filling you in a way you find pleasant. You keep your eyes closed as you listen to the sound of both of you panting in the dark room, coming down from your highs.
After a moment of basking in the bliss of the afterglow, Erebos curls around you like a dragon hoarding his treasure. His arms and tail wrap around you completely. No one will ever, ever take you away from him.
“You are my everything,” he whispers softly against you ear, his voice hoarse and breathless. His mouth brushes against your bitten shoulder, giving you a soft and lingering kiss there. A silent apology. “Are…are you okay?”
You let out a soft, breathless giggle. It’s full of warmth and you use your loosened grip on his horn to guide his face in front of yours.
“You were perfect, Erebos” you reassure him, kissing his sharp, jagged smile. “I’m fine. More than fine.”
The monster didn’t need to hide anymore. It had everything it needed in his arms.
