𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐒 ( accepting )
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤthere's a rot that dwells deep within her — one that he feels so intensely whenever she is at his side ; it is a starved darkness that eats and eats, eats some more as it slowly picks away at vasya's innards and skin. druid's own body and mind is chipped away almost in tandem, piece by decaying piece, with each passing embrace- what's worse is, he knows this to be true- but does nothing to stifle the bloodlust that boils something NASTY within them. can't.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤit's a darkness that reaches out and stakes its filthy claim on anything that dares come too close- that dares touch. their intimacy is not a mutual eating. it is a merciless devouring to the death — and he knows well it will be his death that would sate it so. they bed in submission to a lesser evil and consume each other all the same.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤcalloused hands curl at the dip of exposed waist and he can feel her body tense above him. even under the cover of night, he senses her hesitation. grip loosens, if only by a little- and he looks up. form shifts with back settled against trunk of tree, he lowers his hands from waist to the plush of her thighs that rest on either side of him.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤhalsin could almost lose himself in the sight of her like this — glowing with the halo of the moon beyond her being. silvanus crafted her carefully, and with much intent. as if she were created for him- ripe for his downfall. her voice is soft, but the weight of it his soul remains heavy yet.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤhe knows he should no longer accede. knows that if he allows her to reach out- to push her tangled roots deeper within the chambers of his still beating heart- that he will only then welcome this mutilation. this rot. druid takes her by the hand, fingers curl around her own as palm is pressed to his lips. firm. forgiving. yearning for everything she gives him.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤmay silvanus one day forgive him — for nature is no longer the only idol halsin lowers himself to.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤblunt teeth graze softer skin of vasya's left hand, softly first. eyes are unwavering in their shared meeting as he parts lips against supple flesh, mouth closing over the mount of her palm. teeth bury themselves in skin of the other, making home in the dip of her hand. they do not penetrate, but press deeply enough only to engrave halsin's devotion to this idol into patient flesh.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤonly after a heated moment does halsin release vasya, fingers pressing into the indentions left behind. they are warm in their wake, but not permanent. druid turns head once more and allows lips to graze surface, leaving trails of phantom kisses along the wells of dentitions.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ❝ go on — act upon your instinct. touch me as you please ; but please know that if you do . . . i may not be able to stop myself until i've absolutely devoured you, too. ❞
