Summary: Marcus is always baiting Percy.

---Baiting---

Marcus hadn't truly planned on it and neither had Percy, even though they had been dancing around the issue for months. Like everything else, it had started with an argument, Marcus baiting Percy with jagged words and harsh mental and physical blows followed by supple language and smooth touches.

"Marcus!" Percy's voice is breathy and heavy and needy to the point of combustion, drawing the name into three syllables. And Marcus echoes that urgency with a sharp, pointed snap of his hip. There is too much wet and hot and Percy fights reflexes to slip into unconsciousness from the intensity of it all.

Marcus is whispering suggestions into Percy's ear, dirty suggestions that Percy do unspeakable things, except that Marcus is speaking them and Percy writhes in response, tipping his bony hips at an angle to induce speechlessness in Marcus. And - just like that, only more, Percy wants more and so does Marcus and he finds his voice again and continues to say things that make Percy drive harder and faster and more frantic.

Marcus screams. And Percy is gone. Vanished. The pressure of phantom touches are all he has left.

Marcus concludes, through his drug-induced haze, that they now know his weakness. But all he wants to do is sink back into Percy's hands – so hot and determined – and they will use this against him, and it will hurt both of them. Smugly, Marcus thinks that they will assume a lack of emotion on his part. The smugness fades when the thought continues: he is the bait.

Because it kills me to not write about my babies. Although I will return to writing about them in What I Might Need soon. Also, I created an lj name for just my fics - autonomyanatomy. Check that out if you're interested.
