Mare's POV:

It's about midnight and I can't sleep although I have the most comfortable bed ever and am absolutely exhausted, but I simply can't find it in me to fall asleep

I keep rolling around for a few minutes, until I can't take it anymore. I get up putting on my robe and start doing something I'm going to regret, it's a stupid decision that might get me killed but I still decide to walk to Cals room.

I mean I can't sleep and he told me I could go to him anytime for anything so I might as well.

The walk to his room is painfully slow and makes me think about too many things. I need a distraction even if it's just for a night. I hope we can be each other's distractions tonight.

I keep my Lightning close, those lessons with Julian have paid off and if anything happens I'll be ready.

As long as he doesn't close the door in my face,
And with that thought I start to fix my appearance even more, gosh all this overthinking is starting to give me a headache.

*********

Once I arrive at his door, I start to panic a bit and before I chicken out I knock loud unintentionally, I grow stiff hoping I hadn't woken the king and queen.

Luckily nothing happened but I heard a voice from the other side of the door.

"Mavey could you be any louder?" I heard cals voice mutter before he opened the door.

"Hate to disappoint but I'm not 'Mavey'" I chuckled.

"I am surprised but not disappointed" cal answered practically whispering, I take my time to observe him as he does the same.

His hair is messy showing that he was probably sleeping, his eyes look tired glossy and desperate for sleep, his jawline stands out in this lighting sharp and defined. As he is leaning on the door frame towering over me my eyes lower to his chest and defined abs from years of work. In this lighting he looks almost angelic. I look even lower to see that he had grey sweat pants on hanging low.

A noise interrupted my gaze and my eyes snap back up to Cal as he cleared his throat while swallowing.

"Well what are you doing here Lady Titanos" He mutters speaking lightly since it's late.

"I couldn't sleep, I didn't mean to interrupt your beauty sleep" I answered lowly, the glow of the Moon coming from a large window high lights his features as his messy hair falls over his eyes in a way that makes me want to run my hand throug- pull yourself together mare.

"Well since you're already here come inside" he suggested while opening the door next to him.

I walk past him to enter his room suddenly more aware of my purple silk pajamas that barely reach my mid-thighs as I pull my robe to try to cover me I observe the room as he walks in after me. The room is surprisingly clean and  has the intoxicating smell of his cologne, I spot his king sized bed in the middle of the room and go sit on it.

I take a deep breath while cal breaks the silence, "You look like your barely holding on. Is Maven's depressive state rubbing off on you?" He says crossing the distance so that he is an arms length away from being in between my legs.

"Probably, I mean we have been talking more and spending more time together so he might be" I respond a bit unsure to why I revealed that.

"Yeah I've noticed" Cal answers while tightening his jaw, I notice his eyes become distant as he' probably starts thinking about Maven.

As he clenches his fists I feel the change in his mood as well as the shift in the temperature of the room.

I stand as the heat becomes hotter by the second, "Cal what are you thinking about" I ask softly trying to take him out of his angry state.

I fight the urge to reach out and touch him, it's because he looks uncomfortable and I'm trying to be a good friend, I repeat to myself although i know its Bullshit and I just want to feel him.

As the room goes back to room temperature Cals eyes snap back to mine, "its nothing of importance, don't worry about it" He answers trying to reassure me.

Suddenly I'm aware of how close I am to him and how I can feel his breath on me, I'm so close that I could taste his breath if I wanted and lord knows I do.

He beats me to it, Breaking the distance in a small step as he takes my face in one of his hands while the other goes down to rest on my waist right above my hip. His lips barely touch mine and he stays still letting me make the decision. If I want to run or stay and enjoy a night.

I choose the latter and press my lips back on his desperately, the kiss slowly turns into a makeout and he starts to back me onto the bed. But I'm so focused on his taste that I don't notice.

He tastes of the perfect mixture of sweet and spicy mint, his lips part to have his tongue drag itself across my bottom lip asking for access that I quickly give. I groan as his tongue fights for dominance and his tongue of course wins. he gently starts setting me on the bed while parting our lips.

He leans over me looking at my flush lips, looking at the way that my gown barely covers anything and how my robe is falling over my shoulders. He listens to the way I'm panting and I start to grow impatient while my cheeks start to flush. His knee in between my thighs.

But just as I'm about to make an excuse to leave he goes back down for my neck leaving open mouth Kisses Savoring my taste, I let out a lot of moans as his hands roam my body and curves like he's trying to memorize my body while I do the same.

Dragging my hand across his chest my hands slowly go up to his hair brushing the dark waves back while matching his rhythm, I pull at his hair and he lets out a moan on my lips. It sounds like music to my ears and I do it again just to hear that sound again.

"Stop teasing mare" he mumbles focused on leaving opened mouth kisses careful to not leave any marks.

He grabs my hips and starts rubbing me on his leg. My moans fill the room. I match his pace feeling a certain relief.

"I can't help myself" I whisper focusing on the way his lips feel and move on my neck, How he's rubbing me against his leg.

"You need to learn how to contain yourself" he suddenly says harshly pulling away, my surroundings start growing colder.

"You are wedded to my brother and-" I cut him off pushing myself off the bed "-and you are getting married soon" I finish for him. The mood suddenly changing as if he sobered up from something.

"I should get going, thanks for your.. company Tiberias" I tried to find the right words as I fixed my robe, He just stood there looking at me as if he wished it would have gone differently.

"Goodnight Lady Titanos" he said barely louder than a whisper, his voice sounding hoarse.

"Goodnight Calore" I walked past him still shocked and unsatisfied. I opened the bedroom door and walked out.

Actually feeling tired this time, I laid in my bed and closed my eyes imagining a different outcome of the current scene.

Authors noteeee

Heyyyy so I know mare and cal are too stubborn for something like this to happen but it's nice to imagine.
Mare gets lost in the moments but cal is usually the one to sober up, this is probably pretty accurate tbh.

ANYWAY have a good night/afternoon/morning
