John walks Behrad to his door and just barely resists the urge to tuck the big idiot in before telling him sweetly good night and closing his door before murmuring a low incantation for no one else's ears; putting a protection seal over the room that flashes up gold for an instant before disappearing with the only proof it was ever cast. He turns quickly on his heel and almost runs directly into Zari who must be heading back to her room after leaving Nate. He smiles wide if lackadaisically, his high still pleasantly wearing off.
"Well, hello there, princess," he greets warmly, hooking her arm with his at the elbow in a way he means as charming. He clearly has no idea Zari could have seen what just happened. "I was heading to the galley for a cuppa. You'll join? It's because of these bloody clothes I'm freezing half to death." The implication being it's her fault because she dressed him, or something.

"I'll make you," he delivers gruffly in her ear again, nipping at the lobe as his hand closes over hers on his length. He's throbbing under the combined touch, but she knows he can hold out for forever when it serves them both. Without waiting for a response to that, a surprisingly strong grip closes around her other wrist and he draws both of her hands behind her back, holding them there by force and pulling back just enough to search her face. His own expression is illegible, but even at the height of this dangerous game, he needs to make sure she's safe.

Her throat goes dry at the words. She can't see what he'll do until it happens. Zari is genuinely taken back as both hands are forced behind her. The influencer's heart jumps in her chest. She recognizes that he is searching for her reaction even with nothing to go off of with his. Zari takes a second to check herself. There are no flashes of undead hands grabbing at her. This doesn't make her think back to the time before she came into her power.
She's excited by the ride. That strong grip on her wrists just adds to her thrill. It promises danger without ever putting her in any. Slowly, Zari smiles confidently at John. "Is that so?" She leans forward enough to steal a kiss, skin tingling from the precarious situation.

"Ready to give in yet?" he asks, teeth pulling at her bottom lip while he waits. He's not sure he's ever wanted her so badly with every fiber of his being, which is saying something for how thirsty they are for each other literally all the time.
no subject
She lets out a sigh of frustration through her nose. "I'm ready to negotiate now that you have a slight advantage over me." She tests his hold one more time just confirm how true that is. "What did you want again?" Like she doesn't remember.
no subject
"What if I don't want to negotiate?" he hisses against her lips before nibbling on them again and drawing back out of range. Zari is always more gorgeous than he can take, but the way she struggles against him must be a whole new level of sexy. "What if I just want to take what I want now that I have you here?" He smirks before ducking his head to take a nipple between his lips, teasing it with the flick of his tongue while his calloused thumb runs along the inside of her wrist without letting up his hold any.
no subject
She leans forward again to chase his lips uselessly. She thinks she likes this side of him even if it's left her at a disadvantage. Each word digs into her skin and heightens her arousal. Zari can't find any compelling reason why he shouldn't even if his smugness clearly annoys her. His mouth does an effective job of making sure she can't answer right away. The tease has her squeezing her eyes shut and hissing.
"Your arms are going to get tired eventually." She manages to force out as the callous catches her skin, further reinforcing her predicament.
no subject
He nudges his nose against the little nub before drawing back up until they're eye to eye. His grip pushes her arms more firmly against her back and keeps pushing until their chests are completely flush. He opens his mouth like he's about to say more, but the sensations seem to overwhelm him and he moves in for a kiss unlike one he's ever initiated with her before. It's confident and domineering the way he sweeps his tongue through her mouth and moves his lips against hers in ownership, groaning into the contact despite himself.
no subject
This is strangely enough something tender. It's reinforcement that they can belong to one another so completely without all the stupid titles and traditions. They would never abuse the power they had over each other. Her gaze softens at the admission. "It feels good, doesn't it?" Her only break from the script for no longer than a second.
She gasps as he melds them together, sensation making her brain flat line again as their bodies line up perfectly. The hard feel of his chest against hers is maddening. Zari tries to draw back to get any of her sense back before his mouth catches hers. She forgets about fighting then. Zari is desperately kissing him back even as he clearly controls the scene. She's needed him for what feels like forever. Pride is an afterthought right now.
no subject
John reinforces the thoughts he doesn't know are running through Zari's head, but he's never wanted this kind of responsibility with anyone else. But with her it's a free give and take and it couldn't feel more right even when they're doing very wrong things together. His eyes darken over with need, but he still refuses to let go. He won't fight her either, not physically; and probably not a good idea in the tub in any case.
"Beg me," he commands suddenly, just barely nudging his hips against hers again as a reminder of what's at stake. Regardless of power dynamic, she knows she can't beat him for patience, not in the bedroom. He would be all too content to make her wait hours for him to truly tire of holding her bound. "Beg me to take you." A beat. "That is, if you're done fighting."
no subject
He nudges against her and Zari feels her resolve slip. The throbbing between her legs is too much to suffer through. She knows he knows that too. She's not built to hold out in this scenario. "You're such a bastard." Zari complains without ever meaning it. Okay maybe she means it a little. She does hate to lose. She supposes this is what she gets for underestimating John to begin with.
Zari squirms uselessly against his hold one last time before giving in as much as someone like her can... which is not at all really. "Fine, I want you to take me. Satisfied?" He really shouldn't be when she sounds so pissed off about it.
no subject
"With you?" he asks sweetly, though the Cheshire grin counteracts it anyway. "Always," an admission pressed against her lips before he gets serious again. His eyes spear through hers as he slowly, pointedly, lets go of her wrists, taking a moment just to memorize the way she looks - submissive just for him, John Constantine, what should be chaff below her heel.
His hands move to her hips to help facilitate what he's about to order her to do (again) - this time he knows with a much different result. And just that knowledge sends an electrical pulse straight through his core.
"Turn around, slow now- Don't move your hands, I've got you."

"I know you do, princess," he soothes, pressing a kiss against the side of her face as he guides their anatomy to link up without further ado. He's painstakingly careful, as always, relishing in how impatient she already is and knowing he'll have endless fun with that. Once he's confident he's properly lined up, his fingers gently delve between her folds, wanting to feel with his hands as well as his body the moment they come together. "Sit back now, all the way."
As she obeys, he can't help the gasp pushed out through his teeth as he feels her slick, hot body close around his length. Once she's seated flush against him, his wet fingers splay out over her tummy and his head ducks to drop worshipful little kisses against her throat.
"I'll tell you when you can move," he tells her, biting into the soft flesh of her shoulder as his other hand closes back around her arms as if locking her in. He's already throbbing inside her, hoping he can last when he gets off just as much (if not more) on the denial itself as the actual feeling of being inside her.
no subject
Zari smiles at the little kisses her presses against her throat as she adjusts to him inside her. It's not nearly enough even with how he throbs inside her. She nearly moves to push the matter when he locks her in. She whines as he bites into her shoulder. "John, please." Her hips buck in protest.
no subject
"Slower, slower..." He lets go only to wind his arms around her middle, losing steam for ordering her around now that she's admitted he's won, more or less. "You always rush past the best part."

"Don't tempt me," he warns her breathlessly, one hand traveling up her front to appreciatively map it out though he'd memorized the arrangement long ago. Once again, he's drawn to her chest, squeezing her breasts and teasing her nipples one at a time while rocking his hips in time with hers to really get her going. "I have some weird fantasies..." His palm keeps moving upward, wrapping around her throat on a downstroke as he remembers what that felt like. He barely applies any pressure, afraid to when he can't see her face, but just the suggestion is enough for another full-body jolt as he snaps his hips much harder than before.
no subject
"John." She finally moves one of her arms away from her back. Her hand closes around the one gripping her throat without adding any pressure just yet. "I want everything." Zari promises just as she adjusts his hold to just enough to be safe while chasing that high.
no subject
He keeps up the stutter of his hips, losing rhythm but remembering how she'd asked him not to stop and wanting to oblige. Even in this position, her pleasure is paramount to him. His fingers twitch against her throat, feeling her pulse in his palm and feeling powerful for being allowed that type of ultimate trust.
"Do you want to hear... what I might be into?" He breathes it heavily into her ear, still putting off actually telling her what it is. He'll chalk it up to distraction later, but as always it goes back to his fear of rejection, though she's never turned away from him once even when she absolutely should have.
no subject
The hand covering his drops once he takes the other behind her back. It's perfect bliss to lose herself into the motions of their coupling even if John is off-key. The sensation of being held so securely by him, being so helpless yet safe, will keep her going to the last second. Zari is eager to extend this feeling for as long as she can.
"I'm into you." Zari reminds him. She's open to wherever this takes them. Her pulse quickens at the question. "Tell me. Please."
no subject
"I miss that mirror... seeing your face when I have you like this," John reminds her, sure she's remembering the same thing which makes it all the sweeter even if he can't see her expression for him. The words and the unmistakable way she shares his desires are more than enough to compel him to tell her what else has been on his mind, for a while now. "Have you ever used a strap-on?" Just the question is more than suggestive enough, and he waits to see what she'll do with it before he elaborates further though she'll easily be able to feel the way his face gets hot where his cheek is still pressed to hers.
no subject
"Next time." Zari promises. She has no idea how she'll fulfill it. She knows she wants the image of his hand over her throat etched in too. The question does give her pause. Zari isn't against it, of course. The thought of John beneath her is always sweet, but being the one to penetrate him for a change, well, she loves it. Zari also knows she has no experience with it. Every man she's dated is basically the definition of toxic masculinity. They'd never be so vulnerable with her.
John is nothing like them. She can feel from the heat against her cheek how much he wants this. "I could start." As loathe as she is to admit she doesn't know about something, he does deserve to know considering he'd be the first she'd tried it with. "Would you like that, baby?" She asks sweetly. Her pulse speeds up tellingly; as if she needed more fuel to push her closer to the edge.
no subject
The long pause to his question is more than answer enough, and more or less what he expected knowing of the kind of douchebags she's been with, but it still excites him to know they can go down this road together. He nods stiltedly against her face so she can feel it, but then hisses out an affirmative answer in her ear when it doesn't feel like enough, followed by a sharp exhale of her name.
His hand from behind her back frees itself to find hers, holding for a moment before he directs it along her abdomen then down between her legs. "Every time I watch you like this... I'm jealous," he admits, ridiculously close just by putting himself in her exact position in his mind. Each time he pulls out enough to feel her hand on him, he hisses broken words and sounds into her ear, his hand leaving hers after a minute of that to seek out the little bundle of nerves between her folds, now exposed by their coupling. Two fingers gently press as he goes on, "Want to get on my knees for you, too."
The image is enough to send him, let alone everything else they currently have going on. Careful of her safety to the utmost even now, he helps her to tip her head backwards against his shoulder, exposing her throat even more. His thumb presses into her windpipe as he bows his head to curve his lips against the juncture of throat and clavicle. His hips work faster and more messily towards an end with one goal in mind, teasing her clitoris with one finger as he slowly makes peace with letting this scene go.
"Do you want to come? You need to ask permission." He expects that will get her going, smiling against her skin and kissing at her neck softly in firm contrast to everything else he's doing to her now. His finger gives a last stroke in farewell though he leaves her own hand between her legs to do with what she will, wanting to feel one more time as he presses her wrist against the swell of her back, somehow forcing Zari into an even more compromised position. "You've been so good for me... how many times would you like to? I don't think once is enough for my princess."
