Prompt 25: "Bite me." "If you insist." (Emery) (NSFW)

"You know you love me." he said.

"No, I don't." Emerald argued, refusing to blush. "You're just an ally with benefits, nothing else. I have sex with you; I don't love you. I don't even like you all that much!"

Mercury just shrugged. And it was actually a kind of sexy shrug if ever there was such a thing. Something about the cool, confident, cat-with-the-cream way he did it. It pissed her off.

"Alright, maybe you don't love me." he admitted, and the green-haired thief began to wonder if a miracle had taken place.

But then he spoke again:

"At least, maybe you don't know it yet."

He winked. And it only worsened Emerald's temperament that it was a rather sexy wink.

"But it's okay. I do."

Emerald shot him her deadliest death-glare she could possibly glare.

"Bite me." she spat.

The boy's smoke-coloured eyes blinked in surprise. But then, his expression changed completely to a sultry, almost predatory smirk that sent heat rushing to Emerald's cheeks (and other regions).

"If you insist." he purred, and suddenly the distance between them was closed and his mouth was hers.

Emerald let out a muffled gasp at the surprise maneuver, though she had to admit it was not an unpleasant one. Yet before she could fully enjoy the kiss, Mercury pulled away and made his way down to her throat. The thief wanted to protest, but instead let out a strangled cry of sudden pleasure as the boy's teeth nipped sharply at her pulse! Immediately, he soothed the spot with his tongue, then pulled away with a satisfied grin. Emerald stared at him, her face as scarlet as her eyes.

"Did you just-? You…You actually bit me!" she sputtered.

"Is that a problem?" he asked, his flippant tone at odds with the concern in his eyes.

Emerald's blush deepened.

"I…I wouldn't say that." she admitted slowly.

The words caused a grin to appear on Mercury's face.

"So, you liked it?"

Again, Emerald was reluctant to answer.

"I didn't…not like it." she said cautiously, studiously avoiding looking at him.

If she met his gaze, he would know exactly how much she'd liked it, and that was not an option for her. It seemed, however, that Mercury didn't care. He tilted her chin up so that their eyes met.

"Did it turn you on?" he asked.

If Emerald's face had been very red before, it was nothing compared to how much it was now.

"I-I-"

"Because honestly, I didn't think you were into that." the boy added conversationally.

And that was the end of Emerald's self-control.

"Okay, so I like it rough!" she confessed. "Don't kink-shame me!"

"Hey, who said anything about shame?" Mercury drawled, smiling and putting a hand on the girl's thigh. "I'm just pleasantly surprised is all I'm saying."

"Just shut up!" Emerald ordered. "And whatever it is you were doing-keep doing it!"

Mercury shut up. Promptly. Immediately. And then he proceeded to fulfill Emerald's other request…for a considerable time afterward.
