Title: Frigid Euphoria

Chapter Two Summary: Ivan wants more.

Warnings: Short drabble.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.


Up until this evening, every date he spent with the small and shy islander had ended the same. With a kiss. Then more kisses that started with soft pecks and worked their way up to deep, wet, kisses. Kisses that made Ivan feel hotter than he had ever been with any other lover.

However, no matter how hot he became, Seychelles never pushed it past warm kisses and light caresses, leaving him humming and thrumming with unsatisfied desire. Ivan understood his little lover's wish to take things slow until they were both comfortable with their feelings for each other. He understood that their relationship was not going to be easy and that past grievances and current flaws would rear their ugly heads to tear their budding romance into pieces.

They were just too...

...different.

Seychelles was shy. He was ambitious. Seychelles was kind. He could be kind one moment and then patronizing the next. Seychelles was warm. He was cold. Seychelles tolerated those she did not like. He preferred to hurt those he did not like. Seychelles did not enjoy cruelty. He always had his reasons for being cruel.

How the two of them fell for each other remains a mystery.

Nevertheless, that no longer mattered.

Ivan was done with taking it slow. He wanted Sesel, he wanted her now, and judging from the way she squirmed when his gaze kept straying down to the curves of her breasts swelling over the neckline of the dress she wore for dinner, she was finally done waiting too.

He reached over the table and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear, smirking when she leaned against his cold hand and gently grabbed his fingers, pressing her lips against the tips.

"I-I've missed you...," she mumbled.

Ivan only smiled that trademark smile of his and said, "Show me. Show me that you've missed me."

That was all it took and before he knew it she was crawling on his lap and kissing the side of his neck, biting down, marking him, claiming him…

…and Ivan smiled.

Finally.
