you could break my heart in two, but when it heals, it beats for you
All the things he does not know about her could fill, nay, overflow the banks of the glassy lake that lies over the mountains beyond them. Though dark tendrils of thought try to creep in and remind her of the things within that 'lake', it is futile, they are swept away. All that should keep her from feeling what she does when he shelters beneath the blond fall of her locks, his face pressed to her neck and breaths falling barely measured and honest against her skin is drowned out.
Kensa should be able to fall away into herself, to become just a feral body released into abandon but instead she is keenly aware in mind and body of Brigade. She cannot know what he feels, with others she has been so sure of her standing but now she is reeling into a terrifying darkness, thrilling and dangerous. They yield to the tension between them, though it looks nothing like surrender.
Brigade’s name lives on her tongue and leaves her lips like no other name belongs there as she invites him, commands him, and even (ragged) implores him. Shame does not show its hideous face, it will keep. His touch is a brand upon her skin in the cold winter air. Kensa does not shrink from the stallion’s violence but presses in to it, allowing him to take, to try and break her as pleases him. His body is a burgundy fortress, shelter and prison and Kensa savors the possession, whimpers but snarls too. She is not a delicate thing of filigree porcelain and teaches him this even as she invites him to tear her sails from their rigging and shatter her against his rocks.
She should be frightened that this will be his tiring of her but there is no room for this thought because she is full of him, Brigade leaves room for nothing else when he touches her and the horrible beauty of this will destroy her more easily than the stallion himself ever could. Litotes has her deep and resilient love, Starsin tugs on her thoughts with confusing frequency, but Brigade… Brigade consumes her like a sun.
