The kiss is hard, teeth biting almost hard enough to draw blood, and afterwards heβll run his tongue over that bruise and think of her.
And Jessica doesnβt stop to ask for permission, to ask Empire how he would like her, to inquire what would best bring him pleasure — and it turns out that presumption is precisely what he likes about this one, as she simply reaches between them and wraps her hand around him. His head tilts back against the chaise, another low moan in his throat.
Amongst other things, the imperial secrets and intimacies and secrets shared, this is also why the Gossamer Court erases their concubinesβ memories: because here, in this room, heβs putty in their hands. No regular citizen can be allowed to remember this sensation: sitting over Empire, the very beating heart of Empire in the palm of their hand, playing his movements like an instrument. She gives a few practiced strokes and he hardens beneath her immediately, his fingers involuntarily digging into the skin of her hips.
Each visit to the Gossamer Court is rare enough, carefully-scheduled enough, that Cleon is still hungry for this touch. For the feel of someone elseβs hand around his cock instead of his own. He is tired of himself. He spends enough time with himself, together yet alone, always. He bucks up into her hand, her experienced touch, and then he finally forces his eyes open again: leans forward to kiss Jessica again, one hand rising to sweep the strap of her dress off one shoulder to expose a bare breast which he covers with a hand, his mouth drifting, his tongue and teeth at her throat.
With the power and burden of the Galactic Empire at his fingertips, while constantly being surrounded by himself, Jessica knows he must crave change and excitement. And that is what she provides him with β a sampling of what only she can offer and no one else. To sink her claws in and feed him honeyed words so he craves her enough to return repeatedly until he cannot be without her.
She is a prideful creature, and perhaps that will be her undoing one day, but imagine him coming back to her, and the sound of his moan delights her. A shiver of genuine pleasure lances through her, a strange but not unwelcome realization that she might also be enjoying this.
"Empire," she breathes, head tipping back, exposing the slender column of her neck for his mouth, teeth, and tongue to explore. Each breath trembles with excitement, and her pulse points thrum beneath his lips.
Eagerly, her body arches towards him, pushing her breast into his hand, almost desperate to feel more. Her hand strokes and teases the length of his cock; alternating between squeezing and a feather-light touch to study his reactions. Jessica's other hand slips from his hair and down his back. The movement is slow, and she is careful not to set off the shield, but she applies enough pressure that he might be able to feel her blunt nails scraping down his back.
The slow scrape of nails biting into his back, touching his skin, carefully-measured. Heβs had to explain the mechanics to concubines before, to tell them slower, slower, the very technology itself edging him out of necessity, but Jessica evidently already knows or implicitly understands how the Imperial shield works —
(which should perhaps be a red flag and an alarm in the back of his mind, but thereβs simply no room for any other more calculating thoughts when her hands are on him like this)
His teeth graze against her neck, nipping sharper with a bite before being replaced by laving longue, hot mouth, determined to leave his own mark on her in turn. This, too, is part of it: knowing the concubines will wander away tomorrow feeling the pleasant ache of muscles well-sated, finding the love bites on their neck, not knowing but understanding that passion happened. They wonβt remember, but he was here. This happened. The world remembers. Heβll leave an imprint.
βCleon,β he says suddenly, desperate and unplanned, voice ragged. βNot Empire. Call me Cleon.β
She can do this here, in this room, and only this room. Breaking down the barrier of his personal name, somehow even more intimate than Jessicaβs fingers running along his cock.
