Vareck

Whatever warmth previously enveloped Vareck’s body had fled him as the cold of winter seeped back. It should have been a relaxing afterglow in the evening, but all that circled his spirit was exhaustion and emptiness. He didn’t need to look to know that Mara was gone. He could sense it the moment his body pulled himself into consciousness. Vareck reluctantly cracked open a heavy eyelid, his body numb to the chill that washed over him.

Even naked and freezing Vareck didn’t have it in him to pull away from the bed. It was the first bout of decent rest he had in days.

Mara’s touch still lingered on his skin; burned him whenever the cold taunted and teased. He stared blankly at the wall ahead, tracing the grain of the wood.

“Depressed and butt naked? That’s a great look on you.” Corvo hopped up onto the side of the bed in front of Vareck. The cat licked at the inner pad of his front paw, trying to get at an itch.

“Where the hell have you been?” He gritted his teeth as he pulled away, sitting up to properly glare daggers at the feline. Corvo kept his air of disinterest, rubbing his paw back behind his ear. Vareck swiped up scraps of the pillow and fabric to toss at him.

“Cute. Real cute,” he said, trying to blow away at the harmless fluff. “Anyway, I’ve been busy, and I didn’t want to stick around. You two were really going at it. Are you mated yet?” The scorned demon god shifted his paws, settling them underneath his body as he loafed on the bed.

“No,” Vareck grumbled flatly, getting to his feet. He stretched his sore arms as he walked to the washroom with a long sigh. He didn’t want to be reminded of every touch of Mara’s mouth on his skin, every pleasure she indulged him in. Had he even deserved it? Did she follow along because of the influence of the dust, or because she actually wanted to? It was hard to tell through his lust filled memories.

He remembered her mouth wrapped around his cock and little else, including any words shared between them.

“Ah, how unfortunate. I remember the pleasures and sins of mortal flesh. It feels like only yesterday I was in my true form.” Corvo tilted his head back, preening at the thought. “Men and women would travel across the realm to please my body, worship me long into the night—”

Vareck poked his head out, hand gripping the side of the frame as he was quick to interrupt. “Stop. Just . . . stop.” He pulled back into the washroom, kicking Mara’s skirt across the floor. He furrowed his brow when he didn’t find any inkling of his clothes, moving into the main room to continue his search.

Corvo rolled onto his back, his four paws curled in. “Now I can’t even get a decent belly rub. Such a travesty.” The cat’s ears flicked back when Vareck ignored him further, instead searching frantically in the drawers and around the loveseat.
