RE: A Friend of a Friend [Nox's Building] - Hayden - 01-15-2025
He was wound tight, every touch electric and every movement pulled at his growing need, but he was here for her and he thought about things other than what was happening, until she whispered in his ear and everything changed.
The soft sensual woman before him turned into something more animalisitic. Teeth and nails digging into flesh as skin reddened beneath fingers. A moment of panic flared as her eyes shone with animalistic intensity. The gold of the wolf flowing through her. She hadn't lost control, not that Hayden had any clue what that looked like, but she didn't growl or draw blood.
And in his singular moment of fear he tried to tip the scales, but she wouldn't have none of it. She countered his weight with a strength he didn't think a girl her size could have. But in that moment he also relaxed into her control. She needed it. He'd give it to her. She seemed to enjoy a slight power struggle and he gave her all that she asked for even if it was a wordless ask.
He was too close -- so close. There wasn't a lot left in him, he wanted too much, felt the ache building. "Sweatheart, I'm gonna lose it soon." An evil woman might slow down and torture the fuck out of him, he prayed she was not that type of person. Though he'd play the game once. Hayden pulled his hands free from above his head and put them on her hips. not to hinder her but to find better balance and his arms were falling asleep.

Elyse was in uncharted territory for her. Angry sex was something she never had engaged in, either as a giver or a receiver. She felt powerful as she did. More powerful than she had felt in a long time. She allowed her instincts to take over. Her nails and teeth scraped across flesh, basking in the power. The wolf wasn’t in control. Elyse knew that, but part of her knew that these desires came from that part of her. Hayden tried to escape her grasp and she smirked, bringing him back into place. He was hers, she had control.
She could feel the build up and as Hayden spoke his warning she succumbed to her own orgasm. Thinking clearly, she pulled off of him and helped him finish. Her lust sated, she began to calm down and planted a kiss on his lips, still with passion, but diminished from moments before.
Stunned, she spoke to him, ”Ive never had that happen before.”

There was a certain amount of disappointment in the way things ended. Probably should have had a better conversation about things. He'd have to remember that. With Nox it was a no brainer. And he really wasn't in the practice of sleeping with his mark's friends, or people he was actively consulting with. He did use sex to get what he wanted but it usually wasn't for an impromptu therapy session. Remember to have the conversations he sighed to himself but listened to Elyse's voice pulling him from his thoughts. "Uh. I'm going to assume that was not your first orgasm since I know fucking well Nox is a better lover than that, so I'll ask. What's never happened before?"
Hayden tugged at the bedding below them, how it stayed semi-intact he didn't know but they weren't explicitly rowdy in that particular area since they hadn't started in bed. He tossed a blanket over her and grabbed his pants to slip on so he could step into the bathroom. "Not going anywhere, just cleaning up." He missed having a bathroom he could have just walked around naked, but he risked the other denizens of the house spotting him -- he didn't care, but they might, and he'd rather not have an issue with Nox later.
He left the door open while he made himself at home grabbing a towel and a wet wash cloth before returning to Elyse's room and closing the door behind him. If this became a thing he'd have to prepare better.
Hayden kicked off his jeans and laid back down beside her and used the warm cloth to wipe her down, starting with the sweat from her forehead and down. Before he cleaned himself up. If he'd been in a proper bathroom there might have been a shower involved.

Elyse could smell that he had been disappointed. She had even smelled a bit of fear earlier. She had rode with that for a bit. Hayden had told her that this was for her, but she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed that it hadn’t meant as much for him as it had for her. He decided to clean off and it surprised her that he decided to take care of her as well.
”Nox was a rather thorough lover - no I’ve never…been that dominant before. It’s always scared me…like I would lose control.” she hadn’t. The wolf had remained still the entire time.
She laid down next to him, resting her head on his chest and placing her hand on his shoulder. ”Thanks for talking. And for this. I needed them both more than I knew,” she said. ”If I need to talk again - will you listen?” she asked. Before continuing, ”I scared you.” it was a statement, not a question. His disappointment aside, she was truly worried about having frightened him.
RE: A Friend of a Friend [Nox's Building] - Hayden - 01-15-2025
Hayden chuckled. Never thought he'd be talking about a lover to another in his bed while they weren't present anyway. But he didn't want to talk about Nox. This wasn't about him, or Nox. Totally all her still. Hayden propped up his head with his hand behind his head and rested against the pillows behind him. "You did scare me, but that's not on you. Now don't take offense, but I don't know of another way to say it so I'll just be blunt and totally Atharim about it. But I don't do monsters. I'm not saying you are a monster, but I don't hunt monsters. I hunt people. I'm a people person. Nox is the first person to be anywhere close to being a monster and truth be told I do not want to be stuck in a dark alley with him when the horde has a fucking latch on his brain. And you got wolfy on me. Not in a bad way, you didn't hurt me, but there was a moment that told me you'd given into the primal part of yourself. And it scared me. You impress me, the control you have. Years of hiding what you are can make things easy and other things so much harder."
He grinned over at her "I'm here to talk, to listen." He leaned closer and whispered, "To fuck." He wrapped his arm she was laying on around her and tugged her closer. "And while we are back on that, I won't get you pregnant, not because I don't function but medicinally sterile and I'm religious about taking them. I do not need a bouncing baby anything running around. I am not Nox. So fucking not ready to do that shit."
RE: A Friend of a Friend [Nox's Building] - Elyse - 01-15-2025
Elyse understood his explanation. It made sense. Her change had been drastic, and it was logical to assume that she might have been freaking out, or very close to it. Perhaps she should have told him that. Control was hard sometimes, but in reality, she’d only come close to completely losing it once. She doubted that the man Nox had cheated on her with knew how much danger he had been in when he had decided to run. Thankfully Ana had been there.
”It was the first time I’ve had angry sex. I think that had something to do with it. I didn’t mean to scare you, and maybe I should have communicated better what was happening, but taking charge was a new experience for me. And it was exhilarating.”
She snuggled into him, smiling at his response to her wanting to talk more, and towards his medically induced inability to impregnate her. ”Well, if I had known that before, you would have had a happier ending. Unfortunately one of us, who also isn’t ready to do that shit, has not been religiously taking her birth control.” she said in jest. ”I guess I owe you one.” she teased him her hand going from his shoulder to rest across his abdomen. ”So you were at the infamous house party orgy? I was invited to that - regret not going. Sounds like it was a blast!”
RE: A Friend of a Friend [Nox's Building] - Hayden - 01-16-2025
Hayden smiled. "No worries. I'm perfectly fine doing most things once. And you didn't lose control, though I do wonder if you have ever lost control And I'm sure it gets easier with practice."
"I will be that guy and say, it's important that you remember. Even if you are in a same sex relationship. What if she had wanted to get down with a guy? And you aren't prepared? Start a habit, stick with it, even if it's pointless."
He chuckled. "But that's enough of my advice. I'm fine -- really. I just wanted you to know if we ever did this again."
She asked about the party and a smirk played across his lips. "I got there just before the orgy started. And I didn't stay for the events that transpired downstairs. Which I hear was not the orgy it started out as. I had my own thing going on up here. And I wasn't invited. I sorta crashed when a friend told me Nox had shown up with a leather clad lady and I had to see it for myself. Not that I didn't believe he could get down with a girl -- cause we talked about it. Might have been a little jealousy, a lot of curiosity about her and about the horde. Though I was easily distracted by a pair of warm lips and a hot guy so I didn't really see much."
Hayden pressed a kiss to the top of Elyse's head and pulled himself out from underneath her. "I should get dressed and check on the kids while I'm here." He pushed his legs over the side of the bed and looked back at Elyse "I'll give you the same advice I gave Nox the last time I shared his bed. Talk to your girl. Don't wait, you know what you want. So whatever it is, just don't stall. It won't get easier. It'll get harder and resentment will grow. So do it like you are ripping off a bandaid. Sure it'll hurt for a minute, but you'll get over it. You'll both move on and hopefully you'll stay friends."
RE: A Friend of a Friend [Nox's Building] - Elyse - 01-16-2025
Hayden stood and started to get dressed and head out. She understood that, even if it made her a bit sad. It wasn’t anything more than she had felt so much better than she had the past couple of days. She stood and when she was able, she wrapped him in a hug.
”Thank you. For the first time in days I feel normal. It’s been a big relief,” she planted a friendly kiss on his cheek. ”I know that I’ll probably have up and downs for awhile. I’ll text or come to your place if I need to talk. It means a lot. After Nox succeeds,” she sighed. ”Im almost certain I will.” she could smell herself on him and smirked. ”You should really take a shower before you check on the kids.” she laughed in jest. None of them would likely smell anything unless Marta was here, and she wouldn’t be this early. She’d come here with Sterling later in the day.
RE: A Friend of a Friend [Nox's Building] - Hayden - 01-16-2025
Hayden chuckled. "Anytime. You know where to find me. For any of it."
After he finished tying his shoes he grinned up at her. "I have this thing, about putting on already worn clothes on a clean body. I am not ashamed of my actions and if the kid says something, they are gonna tell Nox who is gonna smirk and nod and then laugh when sees me for getting caught by a kid. Nox takes the kids to a burlesque club on a daily basis, these kids are not going to be strangers to sex. Might be strange for you and me, but they've been seducing men, women and children since they were 10 or 12 -- every single one of them except the 3 little ones. And I don't talk much with Sterling except to check in on the other kids. She's not troubled, she's just a typical teenager."
Hayden wrapped his arm around Elyse and gave her a hug and kissed the top of her head. "If you need to talk..." He said with a wave and headed out the door.
RE: A Friend of a Friend [Nox's Building] - Elyse - 01-17-2025
Elyse smiled, but was still sad at his departure. Then she laughed as the thought hit her that her ex had kind of been her wingman today. She doubted that Nox had planned that, even if he might have anticipated it. Hayden seemed to be a player, but as far as she knew Nox still thought her with Mae. He also knew that Mae was poly though none of it really mattered. It was still entertaining.
Elyse got dressed. Unlike Hayden, she did plan to take a shower, and it wouldn’t do to cross the hall in her birthday suit. There were kids around, and Hayden was going to talk to them. Like he had talked to her. It made Elyse think of Marta. She could probably benefit from a talk with Hayden. Of course Marta seemed to be great since she had met Sterling. That was a friendship made in heaven. Of course Marta saw a therapist, but she wondered how much the girl could actually say to the therapist. Hayden had made everything so easy. Elyse would talk to Marta about it and let her make the decision. She knew best what she needed, and if she was amenable, she’d approach Hayden about it.
Dressed enough she headed over to the shower and began to clean up proper. Her stress was gone for now at least. She knew the journey would suck, but she also truly believed she’d survive it. Mae was another matter. That conversation would have to happen soon.
