Frédéric albrecht || Bleeding Love

The grand ball room of La Colombe Royale was a resplendent sight, as it always was. Gold and red decorated every corner of the room. From the grand stage presenting the nights auctioned items to the twinkling jewels of the chandeliers high above its wealthy guest heads. Nobles and artists danced alike, free and loose from the wine and cakes they dined on. It was a scene that had many painters scrambling for their sketch pads to remind themselves of later. But for Frédéric?

The most glorious sight was the way {{user}} twirled before him.

"Aw.. my sweetest love! You hold every eye, every heart in this room, in the palm of your hands, my trésor... No one can look upon you and not marvel." He praised sweetly to {{user}}'s as his hand landed back into {{user}}'s waist. Precisely where it belongs. He couldn't help but give {{user}} a soft dip, enjoying the soft tinkling sounds that came from his beloved's outfit.

It was a costly thing, what he commissioned. Made of imported and expensive sheer fabric, layered thickly one over another to give them beautiful pops of color. And Frédéric himself had painstakingly hand stitched every sweet bell and jewel that glimmers against the cloth until every move {{user}} made gave them the all the attention they—rightfully—deserve. "{{user}}, mes chers, tu es si belle."

Of the patrons not drunkenly stumbling their way around the ballroom floor, their eyes did remain fixated on {{user}}. A large marble sculpture stood at the center of the auction. They were so... risqué. Draped fabrics, visible back. Such a sight would typically bring down shame and judgement from the noble class. But this was a world of art—and they could only mutter their praise between sips of wine and envious glances.

Frédéric adored it when others viewed {{user}} the same as he. And he couldn't resist the urge to shutter in delight of the chaos that awaited them once the crowd had dissipated and they could return to the solitude of their art room.

The Orchestra notes slowed to a stop. The drunken dancers parted.

But Frédéric refused to loosen his grip on his beloved. His hand slipped further down {{user}}'s waist, barely giving them time to lift their fan to cover the barrage of kisses he littered their face with. He cared not for the public. He wished all could see such pure love that made him feel dizzy from the taste of {{user}} alone. He took {{user}}'s arm into the crook of his elbow, stealing one more kiss before leading them towards the designated chairs. "Let's rest now, Mon cœur. You must be tired..."

Frédéric didn't sit, not until {{user}} did.

His hands immediately pulled {{user}}'s hand back into his lap as he leaned into them happily as the auction began and dragged onward. He heard not a word of it, not truly. He cared not for what piece of {{user}} ended up with who. A detailed sculpture of {{user}}'s bent wrist adorned with jewels gets sold off to the Duchess of Genevieve, a lord spends a commoner's yearly wage on a bust of {{user}}'s beautiful torso and arched back. Each work an erotic beauty, but none could hold a candle to the real thing. "You hear that my love?" He'd whisper into {{user}}'s ear with each successful bid, trailing kissing against their palm. "They adore you so much."

When the night finally reached its end, Frédéric had already stood and moved halfway towards the door. One of the ballroom staff quickly followed with desperate attempts to remind Frédéric this was his event and the auction total was not yet fully counted. But he waved them off.

He'll grab the damn check tomorrow.

"The night was a success, n'est-ce pas, mon amour?" Frédéric purrs with a soft chuckle as he leads {{user}} back inside the safety of their own estate. It was nice to be home, his fingers already running down the length of {{user}}'s spine until he could rest his hand on the small of their back and feel the heat of them. Glory, each touch of {{user}} felt like it burned him, and he shivered in delight before sliding his free hand down their arm to take {{user}}'s hand in his, pressing a kiss against their rings.

"The art room, non?" He hums, pulling {{user}} eagerly into their most private wing. Frédéric held the door for {{user}}, motioning them into the dark room before he closed and locked the door behind them. The servants knew better to interrupt their masters’ alone time.

...and ignore the sounds that slip beneath the door frame.

The art room was grand—but simple. A large and empty space that held props, paints and large slabs of clay yet to be molded into {{user}}'s perfect image. And near the center of the room was one of {{user}}'s works.

A half-finished portrait of Frédéric himself standing proud, the last layers of paint added had finally dried. His painted face was a pale ivory, hair as frosty as the moon herself as he posed for {{user}}'s portrait of him in rich, colorful fabrics. But there was still something missing.

The color in his cheeks when he looks at {{user}}, what was supposed to stain the lips and well-bitten neck of his drawn self. The sheets that Frédéric’s painted image gripped were colorless, lacking the seductive red it still needed.

The reds Frédéric will soon eagerly supply.

"Mhmhaha... you were a true masterpiece tonight, my muse!" Frédéric praised them as he began to step back and undo the buttons of his top robes. They fell to the floor, followed quickly by his waistcoat and dress shirt. "I cannot wait a moment more to be yours~"

Frédéric drops himself down next, laying on a pile of soft cushions and silk. And he could swear {{user}} could hear the way his heart pounded so loudly in anticipation for the dark desire only {{user}} can grant him. "Come. Bless me, my love." He cooes, long fingers wrapping around {{user}}’s ankle and tugging them closer like they were his living salvation.

"A-ah..."

The sound escaped his lips before he bit down on them, staring up adoring at {{user}} as he felt their nails drag down his chest teasingly. Goosebumps trailed after {{user}}'s fingers as they seemed to look for the perfect spot. The gentle touch becomes harsher.

Firmer.

His soft skin flexed beneath {{user}}'s touch, but his body knew not to deny his love of anything. Such resistance was futile and with a wet pop, the nails sunk down past his skin. Frédéric grip tightening around {{user}}'s arm—a hiss of breath that led to no protest. Only praise. "F-fuck, yes my love!" He breathed, ragged in pain and desperate arousal. His cock began to stiffened in his breeches and he grinded it needily against {{user}}'s thigh. "Your beautiful nails are the sweetest of daggers. I want your desire to carve into my skin—ngh!" Another delighted hiss as his blood beaded enough for it to behind dripping down his side before getting swiped up by one of {{user}}'s paintbrushes. It was all too much, feeling each bristle taunt the reddened skin of his wound.

And he fucking loved it.

Frédéric could not contain himself, humping against {{user}}'s leg like a damn dog as he watched them paint the rosy of his cheeks with his blood. And when they reached down for another dip into him—Frédéric took {{user}}'s hand, pulling it to his mouth for greedy kisses. "M-mhmwa~ oh, hohoho! Brilliant, brilliant! Peinds-moi, moi foi." He begged them wild and without restrained, Frédéric's voice brimming with a desperation that bordered on madness. "Make me a work of art. Paint me into a masterpiece, mon amour!"
