It felt like waking up from a coma.

I could barely move my body an inch and Hypnos was gone. Again.

My throat was sore and moonlight shone onto the hardwood floor through the window. I heaved myself up and swung my legs off the side of the bed. With a mild struggle I stumbled over to the door, pulling a thin grey blanket around my shoulders. The doorknob was cold to the touch as I pushed into the unfamiliar hallway.

The floor creaked with every step, but it wasn't too startling. I hadn't decided if I wanted him to find me yet or not. The hall smelled like old attic and was pitch black. I slid my hand down the wall so that I wouldn't fall.

At one point, I almost fell down a flight of steps. It was slow going down them, seeing as I couldn't actually see anything. Once I reached the last step a few places before me was another door.

Upon my exit, I was at another flight of steps. Except these were familiar. Right at the bottom was the front door, the place where I'd met Eros and Zephyrus. I blinked and shuffled down, wrapped the blanket tighter around me.

My feet took me towards the lounging room, it seemed likely that he might be there. Through the tall archway I saw a a figure leaning against the windowsill. My heart immediately beat faster. I breathed deeply.

He hadn't noticed me yet, a glass shimmering with a bronze colored liquid was balanced in his hand. His sleeves were rolled up to show his forearms in a way that was ruggedly handsome. I liked how he looked slightly disheveled and distracted.

"Hypnos," I croaked, my voice sounded raw and I mentally cringed. He whipped his head towards me and stood still for a moment. I took a tentative step forward as he set his glass on the windowsill. Hypnos walked over and I felt my pulse skyrocket and my muscles tense.

"Hey," he murmured and one of his hands rested over my hip while the other cupped the back of my neck. My breath hitched and a pang of fear rippled through my chest. I don't know exactly why, but it was like I was finally realizing him.

Hypnos was just so much older and bigger than me. I just felt so small wrapped up in him. He even felt different. While he was toned and rough against me I was still soft and definitely hadn't filled out. It made me feel kind of childish, actually.

I coughed and let him pull me closer.

"How did you sleep?" He asked and I hesitantly looked up at him.

"Um, fine," I muttered and got caught up in the aroma of Jasmine and lavender.

I chewed on my bottom lip as we stayed in silence. His question came back to me. Hypnos wanted me to be his consort and I was afraid of that. Terrified, actually. I knew that he'd seen me naked, all parts of me. But... allowing him to take me like that made me unimaginable nervous.

I hated the way I looked, the scars that marred my body. Maybe he... didn't. Maybe Hypnos didn't think that way... about me. I felt myself grow excited at the thought.

But maybe it hurt? I was scared of that too. I'd never had anyone to talk about it with. I knew the basic anatomy and how it was supposed to happen. But it also sounded painful, I was almost sure Hypnos wouldn't try to purposefully harm me.

So being his consort couldn't really be that bad, could it? Hypnos made everything feel good. I knew how he could touch me, how he could make me explode with euphoria. It could be ten times better than how he'd touched me before.

But I felt extremely embarrassed at the thought of accepting his proposition.

"I'll fuck as hard as you want it when we get home."

I jolted at the sudden thought. He'd said those exact words to me only a day or two ago. They both excited and terrified me. If I told him right now, would he fulfill that promise? Would he take me in all the ways he'd said over the past few months?

I gulped down the knot in my throat and tried to cut off the thoughts. I wanted to say yes. I wanted to tell him yes. And I would. I would.

I stared up at him and felt my throat Bob and tighten so that I could barely breathe. It felt so scary to be giving myself away for a second time.

"Yes," I breathed finally and felt my cheeks burn a million shades of red, "I-I'll be your... con... sort."

Gods, that was awkward.

"Are you sure?" Hypnos replied in shock and pushed forward, I took a step back against the wall. He gently held me up against him and I threw my gaze down in staggering embarrassment.

"Yes. I'm sure, Hypnos," I snapped, I just wanted him to stop talking. I already wanted to die.

"What was that?" He mumbled in that deep, sonorous voice that I loved. The one that made my body tremble and heat up.

"I'm completely sure, master," I tipped my chin low and stared up at him from under my eyelashes. He breathed deeply and pressed his body again mine.

"You make me crazy," he groaned and nuzzled his face into my neck. I shuddered and wrapped my arms around him, my fingers sinking into the cords of his back. The blanket fell to the ground in heap.

Hypnos slid his hands down my hips and hooked his palms under my knees. I yelped as he jerked them around his waist. Taking the hint, I squeezed them tightly so he could slide his hands up my shirt.

"Master," I gasped and rested my forehead on his shoulder, still thoroughly pink in the cheeks. His length pressed up against me and I let out a tiny whimper that he no doubt heard right in his ear. I groaned and squeezed my eyes shut as he did that stupid thing again.

My back pressed down on the soft mattress again.

I'd probably never figure it out, probably some weird divine power or something.

Hypnos tore my pants down my legs and I gasped as the cold air bit at my skin. My master remained still for a moment pressed soft kisses against my neck. I spread my legs open for him as a silent invitation. If he... wanted to, I wouldn't stop him.

He only slid his lips down and swallowed me in his mouth. I shouted in delight and arched my back up. His tongue caressed me teasingly as I rocked my hips. My master bobbed his head up and down and I couldn't stop the loud moans I emitted.

He was just so skilled. The way his rough fingers rubbed over my inner thighs to soothe me made me even hotter and more desperate. I cried out for him and sank my fingers into his soft auburn hair. Hypnos released a low growl that sent vibrations through me.

At last he teased the tip with his tongue and I burst without warning. I lifted my hips off the bed and felt my chest rise and fall rapidly. I blinked and tried to catch my breath as he slid back on top of me.

"Don't worry, I'll give you everything soon," Hypnos purred and slid his finger down my cheek.

"But I want it now, master," I whined and rubbed my hips against his firm erection.

"No. But soon, I promise I'll fuck you anyway you want me to," he whispered and I only glared at him and rolled onto my stomach. I pushed my hands over my head and arched my back so that my ass wiggled in the air.

"I'll be a good boy, you can stay in me all night," I begged and strained for friction against my back side.

Hypnos pressed the pad of his finger against my entrance.

"You're not ready to take me yet," he answered and pushed his digit inside. I jerked at how easily I tried to suck him in to the knuckle. He wiggled his finger against my prostate and I moaned in pleasure.

"Master, please. I know what I want. I know what you want. Just do it, fuck me," I cried and begged for that touch again. I felt him shake with frustration until he finally reached toward the side table and angrily ripped out a small bottle.

"Fine. You want me to fuck you? Then I will, I'll make sure you can't walk for days, Kellen," he hissed and I moaned as he thrust two slicked up fingers inside me. I wasn't sure what the substance was, but it made it much easier for him to stretch me open.

My stomach pressed against the soft sheets as I lifted my hips higher for him. I pushed against his fingers as they plunged in and out of me, rubbing my sweet spot.

White hot pleasure began clouding my vision and I clenched around him, trying to stop his thrusts. I didn't want to release this way, I wanted him to be inside me. I wanted to feel that kind of pleasure.

"Master, stop," I gasped and fisted the sheets in my palms, "please, I'm going to come!"

"You wanted this didn't you?" Hypnos growled close two my ear and continued to abuse that spot between my legs.

"No, I want you inside me. I want you to fuck me, please," I begged and felt tears prick the corners of my eyes. It was all too much. My thighs quivered with pleasure, "fill me up, master."

His breathing was ragged as I spoke and he thrust his fingers deep inside. I choked on a cry and felt the tears overflow.

Hypnos sucked in a sharp breath and kissed a tear that rolled down my cheek. He pulled his fingers away as I let the ball unwind itself. My master pushed me onto my back and settled between my legs.

I kept my arms glued above my head as he threw away his trousers. My excitement pulsed throughout my body and my blood sizzled in my veins.

Hypnos pressed against me and my breath caught. I tried to relax as he slowly sank within my channels. It hurt at first, so I took deep breaths and adjusted to the uncomfortable sensation of being completely filled.

He placed a hand on either side of my head to prop himself up above me. I scrunched my eyes closed when he finally pushed all the way in.

It was... weird. Knowing that he was literally inside me.

Hypnos had yet to move, which I was grateful for because he was kind of big.

"Kellen?" He whispered and splayed his hand on my stomach. I gulped and shook my head. He leaned down and kissed my jaw.

Hypnos slid his fingers around my erection and began giving it slow strokes. I gasped, but welcomed the distraction. He rubbed his thumb over the tip and I lifted my hips with a moan.

"Don't do that," he groaned and pushed my hips back down. I realized that I must've been clenching too tightly around him.

More importantly, it didn't hurt anymore.

"Hypnos," I panted and pushed against him with a whine, "please."

A slow grin spread across his face.

"Ah, ah, use your words," he teased and I exhaled in embarrassment.

"I can't!" I squeaked and covered my face with my palms.

"Aw, that's so cute, but I want you to learn to ask for things," my master purred as I turned my head to the side.

"Why? It's embarrassing," I whined and wrapped my legs around his waist.

"So I can give you whatever you want," he answered and kissed my cheek.

"Please..." I cried but he still wouldn't relent, "Hypnos please fuck me."

That was so awkward.

"Gladly," he purred and finally began thrusting inside me. He started slow and deep, sliding out to the tip and then burying himself inside me again. I might've stopped breathing it was so intense. Hypnos pressed his face into my neck and began to go faster. I screamed and arched my hips to meet his hard thrusts.

Every time he pushed back in the tip rubbed against my prostate. His cock pushed deeper and began abusing that sweet spot to no end. I screamed and cried out for him as he brought me higher. Heat pooled inside me at the sensation of his length buried so deep.

Hypnos went harder, like he was testing how much pleasure I could withstand.

"Hypnos!" I yelped and rocked my hips against him.

"Shh, that's a good boy," he whispered and brushed my hair away from my sticky face. I whimpered and pushed my face into his neck, letting the heat of his body devour me.

I began to speak again but a ripple of pleasure ran up my body and I moaned. At last I began moving my body with him, trying to rock against him in time with his harsh thrusts.

An amused smile quirked on my master's lips. I blushed when we made eye contact and looked away. How could I look at him while we did this? How could I look at him after?

"Master..." my lip quivered as I arched my back against him. I pressed my arm over my eyes and felt my cheeks burn.

"It's okay, Kellen, come for me," Hypnos purred and I released with a cry. He groaned as I clenched tightly around him. My master attempted to pull back, but I kept him secured against me.

Unable to hold it back, he pumped his load inside me. We were still for a few moments, thinking about what had just transpired.

"Are you tired? Do you want to go again?" He asked and kissed my ear, I hesitated and turned his words over in my head.

"I... I think I want to go again," I muttered shyly and darted my gaze away from him. Hypnos caught my hand in his jaw and made look at him, though.

"You think, or you know?" He asked sternly, I pouted and squirmed. His thick erection was still hard inside me.

"I know!" I squeaked, "I want to go again, master."

His lips curled into a slow grin.
