Warning: Rough sensuality below/half-form coupling involved?

::

"Would you give yourself to me, little one?" Lucien asked as he slid a hand beneath the Nightmare's shirt and stroked a path up Felix's chest, taking a moment to scratch at a nipple. "And turn others away?"

Felix arched into the rough touch. His mind swirled. He wasn't entirely sure what Lucien was asking. The scholar wanted him, wanted his body, at least. He couldn't imagine the handsome and proper man could want him for his personality. Felix knew he was barely more than a shallow brat. But if the scholar wanted him in only a physical way, the young Nightmare would take it. If Lucien didn't want Felix to fool around with others, that was probably just pride or propriety. He could do that. The tutor was probably more than the teen could handle, in any case.

The tall, ruby-eyed Nightmare brought out something strange in Felix. He wanted the scholar's eyes on him, always. When he was younger, he worked harder to get his praise. Something had changed over the last few years. The teenager had grown strangely frustrated, a feeling that sat in his belly and pulled at him to act out. Felix seemed to draw more and more scoldings instead of praise. There was an attraction to it, seeing the put-together Lucien with his ruby eyes flaring and his cheeks flushed. When Felix had pushed the scholar too far, this time, Lucien's domination had left the green-eyed Nightmare pliant and submissive. It was new and exciting for Felix. He found that he craved it, wanted more.

"Yes, sir," the smaller Nightmare closed his eyes and rested his forehead against Lucien's. Felix's crest, hidden by his hair, tingled. "Take me, please."

"Not in this form," Lucien replied, sending a jolt of magic through his crest and onto Felix's, compelling the teenager's body to shift into his faun form. "And not in this ballroom." He added as he pulled the rest of the Nightmare's formal clothes off, laying them neatly on top of the pants in the chair beside them. He regarded the faun in his lap. When Felix's horn protruded, it finally parted the messy locks on either side of it. "Come." He ordered as he stood up and, once again, hefted the boy over his shoulder. He carried him over to estate's private woods, over to the meadow where he had first taught the younger man about a variety of plant life. The scholar set Felix down and began to undo his tie. "Do you remember what I've told you about mating in faun form?" He asked as he slowly dragged the tie loose.

The young Nightmare squirmed as he watched his tutor disrobe, having trouble focusing on anything else in his excited state of arousal. Felix's eyes fell to the still-covered bulge in his copper-haired tutor's pants.

"As a faun, the…the privates create lubrication to ease the process." Felix clutched the thick grass beneath him. "Our lower halves are also semi-equine. In some, the erogenous zones are more sensitive, and orgasms can be more intense." the teen's eyes slid up the scholar's toned body. Lucien always said he believed in working the body as well as the mind. As a result, the tutor was muscled in all the right places. When Lucien paused in folding his recently removed shirt and looked at Felix expectantly, the brunet continued. "Um, it's considered the most romantic form. As a faun, the person's heart and mind are more gentle and docile, but their sexual appetites aren't decreased." Felix's heart began to pound as Lucien unfastened his pants. "Did I forget anything, sir?" The smaller Nightmare licked his lips.

"No, you did quite well." The older Nightmare responded after putting aside the last remnants of his clothing. He began to slide his hands along the faun’s body.

"Ahn," Felix gasped, his hips jerking. "S-sir, please..."

Lucien bit Felix's lower lip as he continued to explore the younger Nightmare. He kissed and sucked on the side of his neck, working his way down until he could lick and suck on a pert nipple. The ruby-eyed man’s touches never ceased. He was fearless. "Don't hold back." He instructed as he exploited the smaller man’s weaknesses.

Felix shuddered and came, not even having the mental awareness to be embarrassed at how quickly and skillfully his tutor could bring him to orgasm. Soft whimpers and groans fell from his lips as his body began to settle back down.

The older Nightmare had a half-smirk on his face as he pressed another kiss to Felix's lips. "Perfect," He practically purred as his fingers prepared the smaller Nightmare for what was to come. "Look at you," He rumbled. "Spreading so wide so fast for me."

"I haven't felt anything like..." Felix let out a groan and shivered. "Is that my sweet spot?" The teen blushed.

The scholar pressed harder against that area. "That's right." He admitted. "And you will feel me pushing against it very soon." He warned as he grabbed his suit jacket and laid it satin-side down on the ground next to Felix. He then rolled him over on top of it so that the young Nightmare was on his stomach. He reached for his tie and used it to carefully, but firmly tie Felix's arms behind his back. "Hold still." He instructed as he shifted into his faun form. His pelt was blue-gray below his hips and his shaft, which was quite sizeable in human form, was ever larger in its hybrid form. His tail gave a flick as he allowed Felix to get a good look at him before he reached over to tug the teen's hips high in the air. "No matter what happens, do not allow your hips to slide down, understood?" He ordered.

"Y-yes, sir," Felix gasped as he held himself presented to his tutor.

As he handed himself over willingly, something strange and euphoric clicked on in Felix's mind. His submission and Lucien's conquering felt so right. Had this been what he'd been looking for whenever he let out the little devil within him? He found himself wanting it desperately.

Lucien did not hesitate to join their bodies. "Feel me," He growled. "No one else is to fill you up like this, only me."

"Only you can fill me," Felix agreed breathlessly as he fought to stay still.

Satisfied with his response, the older Nightmare began to move. He quickly increased the pace and force until he had Felix mewling beneath him. The scholar then shifted until his hands were pressed on either side of the teenager's head. "Brace yourself," was the only warning he gave before his movements changed once again in speed and strength.

It felt amazing. Felix's faun tail lashed from side to side as he held his body in the position his tutor had demanded.

"You take me in so well, little one."

The brown-furred Nightmare was unable to respond. He whimpered and moaned as Lucien took him completely. "Lucien!" Felix cried out when he fell over the edge of pleasure.

Lucien leaned down to press his horn to Felix's before grabbing hold of the younger Nightmare's right butt cheek, leaving his crest there. His gaze settled on the ruby red marking, the symbol for Pluto, and felt a deep satisfaction. He then finally untied Felix's arms and allowed him a moment to adjust as he waited for the teenager to mark him.

Felix waited for his lungs and heart to return to a normal functioning rate. A strange warmth radiated from where Lucien had marked him. The young Nightmare was trying to wrap his head around what had happened.

"What did you do?" Felix asked, peridot eyes wide.

Lucien couldn't help but chuckle at the teenager's confusion. "What do you think I did?" He teased. "I marked you, my young mate. Now, it's your turn to mark me."

"Are you sure?" All of Felix's built up confidence drained away. "I thought you were just...I don't know. You want me forever?" The brunet faun clasped his shaking hands together.

The copper-haired Nightmare couldn't help but laugh once more. He tugged Felix into his arms and kissed him headily, his tongue raking over every surface of the teen's mouth.

"Forever, little one." A smirk formed on his face at the very thought. "Certainly not so little now...but, mine, just the same."

Felix blushed as he hesitantly raised his hand to the center of Lucien's broad chest. He closed his eyes and quickly pressed his palm to the warm skin. When he lifted it, a stylized image of a flower with five points like a star was left on Lucien.

"I...I did it." He looked up at the scholar with startled eyes.

Lucien lifted the teenager's hand to his lips to press a kiss against the palm. "Did you think that it would not appear, Felix?" He asked.

"Maybe?" The smaller Nightmare traced his fingers around the crest on his tutor's chest. "This is all so crazy...I feel like I'm dreaming." He sighed. "If it were a dream, I'd have a different crest to mark you with. I'm sorry you have to carry my ridiculous one." The teen looked down. "Stupid thing...Whoever heard of a Nightmare with a flower for a crest? Mom swears there's no unicorn blood in me, but I don't know..." Felix peeked upward. "Sorry, rambling."

The tutor had a frown on his face. He held the green-eyed Nightmare's chin as his ruby red eyes gazed into them. "Time and time again, I've said that you should accept all that you are, crest and all. As for me, I will wear your crest with pride and the deepest honor." He vowed.

Felix's eyes slid to the side. "You and Uncle Alistair always say the same things. I swear that you and he practice lectures together when I'm not around."

"He, too, is a grand Nightmare. Worthy of the blood that courses through him, just as you will be." He insisted.

Felix threw his arms around the scholar's neck with a sigh.

"Are Mom, Dad, and Uncle Alistair going to kill you for mating me?" the younger Nightmare asked worriedly.

Lucien raised an eyebrow. "You were promised to me for years. I merely waited for you to come of age, little one." He confessed. He didn't reveal the fact that Felix's parents had practically begged him to mate him in the hopes that the teenager would become more grounded with the help of a mature mate.

Felix sat up, suddenly bristling. "No one thought that just maybe, I should be consulted about that?"

"You were, Felix, I gave you a choice." Lucien pointed out as he pressed their horns together. "I asked if you would you give yourself to me and turn others away, and you said yes. From that moment on, you became mine."

"Yeah, but I thought..." the anger fizzled out of the teen, and he looked away. “I figured you were just playing with me; being possessive until you were done. I didn't imagine you'd ever really want me." Felix fidgeted. "You always are saying I'm driving you mad or that I'm going to make you bald from tearing your hair out..."

"When have I ever played with you or lied to you?" The scholar insisted. "Of course you drive me mad. You drive me absolutely crazy." Lucien admitted as he kissed the young Nightmare hard. "Do you have any idea how difficult it was to remain professional and respectful for so long? I was going to ask you to be my mate after our dance lesson, but then I found you displaying yourself in such an uncouth manner in front of someone else..." He hissed, a touch of jealousy bleeding into his voice.

However, the kiss had knocked the wits right out of Felix's head.

"I..." Confusion swirled in his green-jeweled eyes. "What did I do? And you planned this?"

The moment that the older Nightmare realized that Felix was a bit dazed, he couldn't help but let out a deep laugh. "You were half naked in front of Habacuc." He reminded him. "And my plan clearly did not take flight after that."

"Oh..." The brunet blushed. "So, you were going to ask me all romantic-like?"

"That was the original plan," He pointed out, a smirk tugging on the corner of his lips. "Honestly, I think it's better that we did things the hard way at first." Lucien mused out loud. "Neither of us would have been able to keep our hands to ourselves for long, and we would have surely consummated our mating in the ballroom and have gotten caught long before I was able to properly ask you." He stood up and carried the younger Nightmare up bridal style. "Come, my young mate. Join me in my room tonight. Tomorrow, we can decide which room to share from now on."
