"Death of the author?" he suggested. "Not that I could. But I suppose in this context, I am the creation, not the creator. Though whether they are alive or dead is a much trickier metaphysical business." A silly twist of metaphor, but he did so enjoy being compared to a work of art. In truth, he took the credit for that himself. Would he be even half so lovely if he did not dress with such care, if he did not put so much work into the loveliness of his locks? Perhaps. Handsome enough, in a feral sort of a way. Any artistry in his appearance, nonetheless, was his own doing; he was artist and work all in one.
Such lovely sweetness, such a delightful caress. And the heat of her as she straddled his lap, the heat of soft flesh that he would have made his in time. Skin against silk against skin, his hands traced down her shoulders to stroke along her arms without interfering with her ability to move. The distant threat of holding her still evoked without malice or obvious intent, the barest ghost of a suggestion.
"I confess that not many may consider me virtuous," he said, because he considered himself the best possible example of one handsome and clever, "but there are few who would deny themselves the pleasures of those virtues - in my case or in yours." He hummed as fingers pressed themselves against flesh. "I would not call it an argument, this little tête-à-tête. But I have a sweet tooth, and so my tastes are not yours." He grinned, and wolfish was not quite the word, because even wolves did not have so many teeth so very sharp. "Do you think that you would like me, still, without these trappings of mine?"
When her hips arched his moved in return, a subtle tilt, a bow of his back. "It is in my nature," he said, "to take. To take, and to take, and to take, endless and unceasing and greedy. Whatever I give is little enough, compared to what I might take in return. That is the way of me, as it ever has been. If it pleases you to give freely, then I will not turn you down; but that which is my preference is more easily taken than given, easier taken by giving."
He sighed as her lips pressed against his skin. "Ah, too complicated, non? Ignore me, lovely thing, for I will speak in endless meaningless circles if you are too kind."
