Summary: When we leave the Count and Countess of
Anvil at the end of the Thieves’ Guild quest, she has taken him back, but with
a pretty snarly sounding speech against his criminal behavior. Obviously there’s another step needed in
their reconciliation: roleplaying sex.

Rating: Sexually explicit but pretty vanilla. Just the faintest whiff of
D/S.
Pairing: Corvus and Millona.

Not Quite Retired
It hadn’t been too long after all: he was able to scale the wall and reach the
ledge outside Millona’s window without any great difficulty.
In fact, now that he stopped to think about it, it had been
rather too easy, even with all those
guards he’d managed to surreptitiously hire.
All that time he’d been gone, any fool with a little ambition could have
– well. Never mind that. He was back now. He took a moment to adjust the gray scarf
into the half-mask he’d worn far back in his misspent youth, before the ingenious
but unfortunate acquisition of the cowl. Never mind that, too: it was long gone,
handed down to his successor. Good
riddance to it.
But here he was anyway, in his old mask, out on the ledge. He’d promised. Hopefully it would be worth the trouble. He stepped into the window and sat there in
the windowsill, obscured by his distance from the lights in the far corners. She was in the next room, fussing with
something or other on the desk. He
watched her from the shadows as she left that fidget and came toward the
bedroom to start some new one. So
lovely: even this short distance was painful –
Patience,
now. You waited for ten years. Wait ten more minutes.
“Good evening, Countess.”
She gasped, genuinely startled, and spun to face him. Then her face brightened, remembering. She brought her delicate hands up to her
mouth. “Oh! Who are you?”
“You’ve no idea? Really?”
“Oh. You’re…you’re
the Gray Fox.” Her hands were still at
her mouth, and she was giggling.
Well, the point of the thing had been to break the
awkwardness between them, and giggling was a start. Actually it was a delightful sound, and it
was an effort for him not to respond in kind.
“Now, Countess,” he admonished her.
“You should not be laughing.”
She could barely help herself. She struggled to regain her composure. “No…no….”
He unsheathed his sword and raised it casually toward
her. “No,” he echoed quietly.
The giggling stopped.
“Oh!” Her cheeks flushed a
little, and her sweet eyes danced as she watched him. “You won’t get away with this. The guards will come.”
He snorted. “I think
they won’t. They’re not really very
good. You should probably fire most of
them.”
She spoke more softly now, her eyes shifting gently up and
down between meeting his gaze and watching the tip of the sword. “What do you want?” They let silence hang between them for a
moment. “Money, I suppose.”
He smiled. “No. This isn’t a robbery. Although,” he added, as casually as he could,
“since you mention it, you might as well take off that necklace and leave it on
the dresser for me. The
earrings too.” He watched her
unclasp the string of jewels around her neck, leaving her white throat
bare.
“And take down your hair,” he said. She raised her eyebrows at him. “Tsk. The barrettes, the hairpins.
I know you have expensive ones.”
“Ah,” she breathed, and reached up to loosen her
braids. Down they came in the waves he
remembered, brown streaked with gold.
(Perhaps one or two of the gold strands were gray now, but what
difference did that make?) She shook
them out to full glory, in a gesture quite unnecessary to the story but
beautifully considerate.
He looked her over, falsely cool, regarding the blue satin
and white lace that still divided them.
“That’s a lovely dress. I’ll take
that too.”
She made a dramatic gasp and threw her arms across her chest
in modesty. “You will not! You will not dishonor your Countess!”
He stood up from the windowsill and raised the tip of the
sword higher, toward the base of her throat, stepping forward to join her in
the light. “My Lady,” he whispered, “you
will really be happier if you follow my instructions.”
The corners of her pouty lips quirked upward for just a
second, and then she forced them back down.
Her hands slowly traced up her center line to the ties
of the gown, trembling just slightly as she started to untie them.
His heart should not be in his throat. He was supposed to be the criminal.
She peeled the fabric away and stood in pale glory for him
to compare to years of forlorn memory:
hips a little more slender than he’d recalled above soft white thighs,
but breasts even more wondrously full, rose-nippled.
She was so preposterously beautiful, and he had taken as
much punishment as he could bear. Losing
the will to even pretend to threaten her, he lowered the sword. “By the Nine,” he sighed, “Millona.” He crossed the space between them in two long
strides and grabbed her head with his left hand to draw her mouth to his.
She whimpered, folded gently into his kiss, her arms still
bent between them. The sword clattered
to the ground as he brought his other hand up behind her, caressing her round
ass and pulling her closer. He ran both
hands up and down her sides, drinking in the wonderful smoothness of her skin, relearning
every curve of her shape. Her fingers
moved delicately beneath his collar to trace his chest, making every nerve
dance. Then her fingers curled, and she
raked him ever so gently with her nails.
He threw the shirt off like the hateful impediment it was and clutched
her tight.
But she faltered, pulled her face back from his, gasped for
air. “No,” she whispered. “No, you mustn’t.”
Ah yes, this was the problem he had worried about. Was this still part of the game or not? A token protest or a real
change of heart? He’d feared that
she might reconsider – actually, at first, he’d feared that she only suggested
the game at all to tease him. His breath
was uneven from the collision of desire and anxiety. “Mustn’t I?”
Her head was against his chest where he could not read her
face. Her voice was barely audible. “No. I
am the Countess.”
That was no help: it
could be taken either way. He swallowed
his fear, decided to press just a little further, to see if the resistance grew
or melted away. “Ssh,” he breathed into
her ear, stroking the side of her face with the tips of his fingers. “I won’t tell anyone you let me touch you. I have no one to tell.” Because all of that, too, was true either
way.
She trembled but did not back away from his touch. He pressed his lips lightly to the side of
her neck as his hand descended, found the curls of her pubic hair – found her
lips already parted and quite wet. She was still playing the game, and she was
enjoying it very much.
He concealed his relieved grin with a nip at the base of her
throat. You minx. And downstairs you have been so
adamant in your disapproval. It gave
him the courage to voice the last of his fears, still half in the context of
the play.
“You pretend to be so proper,” he whispered. “You pretend to hate me and everything that I
stand for. But you don’t really hate me
at all, do you, Countess?”
She was shaking. She
lifted her eyes only partway, as far as his mouth, her lids heavy. “No,” she said at last, in a whimper. “I don’t.
I can’t. I never hated you, Corv – ”
He silenced her tongue with his. There it was, the
end of pretense between them. There was
every joy he had lost given back to him.
All but the one, and that was only waiting for him to claim it. As quickly as he could he kicked away boots
and trousers and then swept her up in his arms, carried her to the bed
(ignoring the twinge in his back that pleaded with him not to do this very
often), threw her down. She let out a
joyous laugh as he descended on her; as he teased one of her pink nipples with
his tongue she embraced him to hold him there.
“Mr. Fox?” she said.
He stopped to look up at her, grinned at her silliness and
her mischievous smile. “Yes, Countess?”
“You should probably hold me down. In case I struggle to get away.”
He laughed helplessly and took hold of her wrists. “Like that?”
“Mmm, yes.” She pushed up playfully against him. “Just like that. And kiss me.”
“You’re awfully demanding for a captive,” he teased her, but
kissed her anyway as he parted her legs with one knee, as she writhed eagerly
beneath him. He entered her slowly,
deliberately, and she growled in protest, biting at his lips. He didn’t care. He was lost in sensation, and a few bites
only added interest. Inside she was silk
and starlight and – and no, this speed wasn’t going to be enough for him,
either. He thrust harder, at a pace she
liked better. She wriggled, making her
breasts shake wonderfully, and struggled against his restraint in a way that
was hardly convincing, given that she had wrapped her legs around him.
This wasn’t enough either.
There was no such thing as enough.
He released her wrists so that he could take hold of her hips and drive
himself deeper: she shook and moaned and
threw her arms up around his neck. She
pulled him in tight, soft breasts and belly pressed against him, every ounce of
flesh made his. He came with a rush of
pent-up emotion that threatened to bring tears to his eyes, and this he
concealed with more gentle kisses to the side of her neck.
She sighed for him and traced her fingers up and down his
back for a moment; and then suddenly, she brought them up to his face, tugged,
and brandished the gray mask above his head, giggling.
He’d quite forgotten about the mask. “Oh my,” he said, with quiet menace. “Countess. You’ve seen my face. I’m afraid that complicates things. I won’t be able to leave you.”
“Then stay,” she beamed.
“I shall make you the Count of Anvil.”
She was really too delightful. “Are you sure you want to make someone like
me the Count of Anvil?”
“Yes.” She gave him
another kiss, still laughing. All the
tension and doubt there had been between them was gone, and it was almost as
though he had never lost her.
“Well, then.” He
gazed into her shining eyes. “Then I’ll
stay, Millona.” He kissed her long and
slow before he looked up again to where she was still dangling the mask above
them. “So can I get rid of the thing
now?”
“Oh, certainly not! Next time, I’m going to wear it.”
