[ He's counting the continued use of that phantom touch a victory. If he didn't think Henry would absolutely rankle at a bit of praise, he might be tempted to give it. As it is, he rocks his body along with the sensation, rewarding Henry a little for his efforts in turn.

When Henry moves to sit, Alec holds his grip for a second or two, unmoving. A very real warning that he could keep him there if he wants to - but as it stands, he doesn't want to. He relents, letting Henry ease himself up.

What's he up to? ]

[ Oh he does note that color creeping into Henry's cheeks. As if he would ever miss those little details. One more point for him. (They're not actually keeping score.)

As strangely pleasant as the pass of Henry's powers has been, it pales in comparison to a real touch, the electric heat of skin on skin as his hands dip beneath Alec's shirt. He breathes out a pleased little sigh, straightening a little so he can pull his t-shirt off. The order can slide, since he's happy to let Henry explore. And unlike Henry, Alec's skin is far from unmarred. He has plenty of marks, scars left by blades or bullets or stray bolts of lightning. A map of his mercenary career written on his body.

(The answer, by the way, to the unasked tattoo question is twelve.) ]

[ Meanwhile, he finds Henry's sudden fascination, well, fascinating in its own right. The gentleness with which he draws long, slim fingers along an old scar sits entirely at odds with their whole encounter until now. The calm in the eye of the storm.

Those questing fingers send a shiver down his spine. He remembers that mark, a long, slender line carved into his flesh from the claws of a wraith. A soul so corrupted and angry it turned itself into a monster. Maybe there's something poetic in Henry's fixation on it now. ]


That's what happens when you live a life like mine.

[ Alec keeps his eyes on Henry's face as he inspects the scar, so when odd-colored eyes flick up in his direction, their gazes meet. This little interlude has done little to quell the heat simmering just under Alec's skin, but perhaps the storm in his eyes isn't quite so wild. ]

Maybe someday.

[ He draws his hands up Henry's chest. He no longer has his magic in play, for now, but his palms are warm all the same. Slide up to his shoulders to ease his shirt away. They might as well be even. ]

[ Oh.

The velvet heat of Henry's mouth on raised skin turns his blood molten, makes the subdued light in his eyes flash brighter. Fingers curl into Henry's hair again, encouraging rather than restraining. His grip pulses tighter at the first sting of teeth, but even that seems to be a request for more rather than a request to stop.

A low little sound rumbles up out of Alec, something breathless and gravelly. Fuck. Okay, Henry can win this one. ]

[ How strange this is. Alec can't remember the last time someone paid this much attention to his scars, if ever. Most people tended to avoid them, figuring they were personal or painful, and here is Henry, determined to make his mark on every single one.

Muscles flex under the pass of Henry's mouth, but his whole body jerks at that sudden bite. Harder than the rest. No, Alec hasn't exactly been subtle about his preferences, and that stinging pain settles on just the right side of pleasure for him. A sharp intake of breath that leaves his lungs again in a low groan.

His fingers twist into Henry's hair to pull, to tug him back sharply. Not because he didn't like it, but because he wants to return the favor, to descend on the blank canvas of Henry's skin and leave his own mark. Like for like. He dips down to find a spot along Henry's clavicle, the warm slide of his tongue heralding the sharp bite that follows soon after. ]

[ Oh, yes. The noise that he pulls out of Henry with the harsh attentions of his mouth is the sweetest one yet. It doesn't tell him anything he hasn't already figured out - that Henry likes it just as rough as he does - but he zeroes in on it all the same. Like blood in the water. He doesn't leave that spot until it's red and angry beneath his lips, thrumming with the same pulse that beats insistently where their hips are slotted against one another.

And then he moves downward, leveraging Henry back onto his back as he languidly draws his mouth over the pale expanse of Henry's chest, letting him wonder when the next sting of pain will bloom. It happens eventually, perhaps just long enough for impatience to make the payoff all the sweeter, teeth digging in harshly to smooth skin. Alec wears his life carved onto his body. Henry can at least wear the signs of this encounter for a day or two. ]

[ Well, Alec isn't going to stop now. Not in the face of that reaction. Henry arches up into him and he knows that he's on the right track to picking Henry apart, piece by piece. It makes him indulgent, less on his guard that Henry will try and turn the tables again, so the instant those hips raise, his rock down to meet them.

There's an unkindness in that motion, as well. As with so many things about the both of them. But the roughness is welcome, perfect for a pair of people who know little else. He groans with it, open-mouthed against Henry's skin.

He angles his head, and his tongue slides over one of Henry's nipples before he takes it between his teeth, teasing. Testing. Using the press of their bodies to measure the reaction of the man beneath him. Alec is certain he knows just about as much of what Henry likes as Henry does, at this point, and so they're making new discoveries together. ]

[ Henry can stop himself all he wants, but Alec is going to be sure to remember each and every little noise that he doesn't tamp down on. For his own part, he's really started giving up the pretense that he isn't enjoying it, and maybe that's what will really net him the win in this game where no one is actually keeping score.

Nails bite into his skin, bright points of pain that bloom over the expanse of his back. Surely he doesn't have Henry quite so worked up that he needs to hang onto something, so this must be intentional, and the intent is to give as good as he's getting. Alec, frankly, wouldn't have it any other way. Those hands rake over his skin, no doubt leaving angry marks in their wake, and the sting is good. He curls his fingers into the bedding, pulling away from Henry just enough to breathe out, ]


Haaah, fuck, Henry.

[ Funny how those words seem to sound like do that again.

Well, if this is a game of give and take, which it most certainly has been so far, he dips in to dig his teeth into Henry's skin again. He won't be satisfied until they're both bosting bruises and welts and angry red marks. ]

[ Oh, he's going to feel that in the morning. Hell, he's feeling it now, the sting, the heat of scored skin exposed to the open air of the room, the extra bite as the path of Henry's nails crosses with the marks he'd left there the first time. Henry gets a noise in the affirmative, all breath and gravel and want, reverberating against his chest. Yes, he likes that very much.

Henry arches up to meet him again, too warm skin against too warm skin. Alec's hand snaps up to catch him by the jaw, and he leans in for a messy, heated kiss that's more teeth and force than anything else. It ends with a bite to Henry's lower lip that is just sharp enough to break skin, blood welling in the corner of his lips. Alec drags his tongue over it almost greedily. Well, now he's not the only one with blood smeared on his face. ]

[ Henry doesn't have to crane that much to look, because Alec pulls back to let him see a swath of red painted inelegantly across his lips, though the look on his face is less a smile and more a smirk. As Alec is wont to do. His tongue darts out to lick his lips clean, or as clean as he can manage. He definitely misses a spot, and doesn't seem to notice or care.

He's too enraptured by the look on Henry's face, that wild darkness to odd-colored eyes. The way he seems to have tipped Henry over the edge, just a bit, so that he forgets pride altogether and asks for what he wants. ]


Weren't you bitching about me being in a hurry just a minute ago? Henry.

[ Though, the only heat to be found in that accusation is the heat of want. He would love nothing more than to see how fast Henry flies apart under his fingers. He slips a hand between them, fingers dipping beneath Henry's waistband to give the barest whisper of a touch long his length. That absolutely insufferably smug look blooms on his face as he seeks to tease. ]

It seems I already have.

[ Given him something to complain about. Though, Alec knew he would. That's the whole point, after all.

And it's true, his insistence for less teasing only nets him more. Henry rucks his hips up to meet Alec's hand, and Alec simply pulls away. ]


What's the magic word?

[ He's testing the waters, here. He really doubts he'll be able to wring a please out of Henry fucking Creel, no matter how sweet it would be to hear. What he really wants to know is what kind of indignant response this will net him. ]
