Echoes from the Wombs of Tartaria — 1

He tilted his head. “You poor thing,” he murmured — not in pity, but in a strange, amused tenderness. “And all this time you feared… what? That your womb mistook your fingers for a child?”

Samirа gave a small sound — somewhere between a snort and a gasp.

“I have wondered,” she confessed. “If I’ve done something wrong. If the body learns bad habits, forgets real ones…”

Now he did laugh — not unkindly, but richly, warmly, from deep in his chest. It rumbled against her skin, and she felt the vibrations through her ribs, through her hips, through the stillness where their bodies joined.

“Listen to me,” he said, and bent to kiss the hollow beneath her jaw. “If you scratch your leg, it doesn’t fall off. If you comb your hair, it doesn’t stop growing. Pleasure is not a punishment. Your body hasn’t betrayed you — it’s been waiting for something it could finally answer.”

She closed her eyes. Her legs, which had relaxed slightly, curled again around his hips. He hadn’t moved yet, not truly — but now, as though the laughter had unlocked something, he began. Slowly. Intentionally. No urgency, just the most delicate reminder of presence.

“Like that,” she whispered. “Exactly like that.”

He kissed her again — her cheek, her temple, her earlobe — as he moved within her, a rhythm no longer seeking climax but communion. Something that said I hear you. I’m still here. You’re not alone.

He kept moving inside her — slowly, almost reverently, as though there were no goal to reach, only presence to prolong. And something about that made her whisper things she hadn’t known she could say aloud.

His breath warmed the curve of her neck. She wrapped herself tighter around his hips, and he felt it — the way her muscles trembled slightly, as if on the edge of another craving.

She pressed her lips to his ear.

“Please,” she whispered. “Just once. From behind. I just want to feel you… there.”

He paused — not in hesitation, but in sudden stillness, as if her words had turned to silk around his spine.

“Not to finish,” she added quickly, breath catching. “Just to enter me. Just once. I want to know what it’s like. I need to feel it… just a little. Please.”

The way she said it — not coquettishly, not demanding — but with that pleading softness, like someone asking to be allowed back into a dream they’d only just woken from too soon.

He withdrew, slowly, with a kind of silent promise. Bracing himself above her, he waited. She was already moving, urgent in her grace, turning beneath him like a tide shifting — her back arching as she slid onto her stomach, arms curling inward, legs parting instinctively.

Her hair spilled across the pillow in a fan of tangled dusk. The smooth plane of her back rose and fell with shallow breaths. Her hips lifted slightly — just enough to offer, not to ask. She didn’t turn her head; she only whispered again:

“I want you to feel me… from there. Just be inside. Just for a moment.”

He let his hands glide down her sides, mapping her anew. One palm settled on the small of her back, the other guided her gently — and then he pressed forward.

The heat between them had never ceased, only changed shape. Now it flared again as he slid into her, slower than before, deeper in a way that felt ceremonial. She inhaled sharply through her teeth, a sound almost like relief.

Her body welcomed him differently now — not with the urgency of climax, but the aching fullness of surrender.

She let out a long, slow breath.

“Oh… god… That’s…”

She didn’t finish. She didn’t need to. He felt it in the way her body quivered beneath him, in how she shifted her weight just so, to draw him an inch deeper, a fraction tighter.

He stayed still inside her, as she’d asked. Not moving — only existing. Breathing. Letting her take him in.

And in that pause, heavy and golden and utterly still, something passed between them that neither of them could name.

He bent forward, kissed the back of her neck, and she turned her face into the mattress, murmuring something he couldn’t quite hear — something like thank you.

He felt it before he fully registered it — the quiet tightening of her body beneath him. Not sudden, not forceful, but purposeful, unmistakable: the slow flex of her glutes, drawing him closer without a word. Not an accident. A signal. A request.

She was speaking to him in a language older than speech — in the clenching rhythm of her muscles, in the minute lift of her hips, in the way her thighs braced and then softened again, giving space, inviting depth.

He smiled. Not out of mockery, but out of understanding — as one might smile upon recognising a song once half-forgotten. Her signal was clear. Move.

And so he did.

A slow thrust — deliberate, smooth, letting the full length of him glide inside her again. And again. She exhaled like something sacred had returned to her. Her fingers clenched the sheets. Her back arched more boldly this time.

He placed a hand on her hip, firm but unhurried, grounding her. His other hand slid along her spine, as though tracing a path he might later retrace in memory.

Each stroke was a response — to her breath, her muscle, her heat. She pressed back into him now, meeting him halfway, urging more with each shift of her body.

Still, he kept the pace unhurried — not out of cruelty, but devotion. As if he were determined to memorise her inch by inch, to give her time not just to feel him but to inhabit it fully.

Beneath him, she began to murmur — breathy, half-formed things, her lips moving against the pillow. Perhaps his name. Perhaps a prayer. He couldn’t tell, and didn’t need to.

He leaned forward, letting his weight settle more fully against her, his chest brushing the plane of her back. Her skin was damp with sweat, warm and living. She turned her head just enough for him to kiss the side of her face, and whispered — almost soundlessly:

“Don’t stop…”

But he hadn’t the slightest intention.

She turned her head slightly, as much as she could beneath the weight of him, and whispered — not in a rush, not gasping, but with a kind of quiet desperation that startled even herself:

“You feel… more mine than anyone ever has.”

He paused — not in his movement, but in thought. That sentence landed not between their bodies, but somewhere deeper, threading itself into the moment like a sudden change in light. Her voice was not trembling from the rhythm — it trembled from truth.

“I don’t know why I said that,” she added quickly, face turning into the pillow. But her body told no such lie. She lifted her hips again, as if to hold him in place, to anchor the connection before it drifted into uncertainty.

He stayed silent for a heartbeat. Then leaned down, his mouth near her ear — his voice lower now, touched with something he hadn’t meant to share either.

“Because it’s true. Even if it shouldn’t be.”

She let out a soft sound — something between a sigh and a sob. The kind of sound a woman makes not from pleasure alone, but from the ache of reaLization.

“It frightens me,” she admitted, teeth grazing the edge of the sheet beneath her. “That something like this can exist. That I can want you… like this… after everything.”

He rested his forehead against the nape of her neck, the heat of her skin mixing with his breath. Then slowly resumed the movement of his hips — unhurried, as if saying: we don’t have to name it yet. We can just feel.

And she did. Her hand slid back along the mattress until she found his thigh — gripped it, held it. Her way of answering without ruining it with more words. But still, another one slipped out — small, hoarse, honest:

“I’ve never wanted to be owned by anyone… Until now.”

He didn’t speak.

Not because he had nothing to say, but because her words had rearranged something in him — subtly, decisively, like wind shifting the weight of an orchard. Beneath him, she was breathing unevenly now, not from effort, but from the rawness of what she’d just said. And yet she did not take it back. Did not twist it into something light or dismissive.

Her body — still parted for him, still pulsing around him — was the proof.

He slid his hands along her sides, the long sweep of her ribs to the taper of her waist, not thrusting yet, only pressing himself deeper inside, as though to answer her with presence alone. She made a sound — that sound again — the one that had less to do with sex and more with surrender. With being seen.

And he moved. Gently, at first — almost imperceptibly, a bare tide within her — but then deeper, more deliberately, as if testing how far truth could be carried inside flesh before it broke.

She gripped the sheets beneath her, her arms now bent tight under her chest. Her hair, dark and thick and wild with sweat, clung to the hollow of her back. Every time he pushed in, her spine seemed to arch a little higher, not from pain, but as if her body wanted to swallow all of him, not just the flesh but the memory, the weight, the man.

“Yes…” she whispered into the pillow. “Yes, like that… I can feel — ”

But the rest broke off in a moan that was half prayer, half confession.

He leaned over her again, his chest pressed to her back, and reached for her hand — curled cold and alone against the mattress. Their fingers laced together. She gripped him so tightly it hurt, and he welcomed the pain like proof of her fear, her want, her need.

“I won’t break you,” he murmured, his lips at the shell of her ear.

“Then don’t stop.”

That voice — now hoarse and wet with desperation — caught him by the throat. His rhythm deepened, slower, thicker, more demanding. She pushed her hips back to meet him, matching his weight, matching his intent, as though she too needed this to mean more than friction. Needed it to rewrite something in her that her husband never managed to reach.

He could feel her changing under him — not in body, but in tension, in charge, in temperature. Her thighs trembled now, not from effort but from how much she was holding in. How much she was giving over.

He pressed deeper — one hard, full thrust that made her gasp sharply — and stayed there.

“Do you want to come?”

She didn’t answer at once. Then, shakily, voice thick with something far older than lust:

“Only if you do. In me. Please… I want it to be yours.”

He closed his eyes.

Not to block anything out — but because the weight of that sentence felt like something sacred. Like standing at the edge of something too vast to see.

Then he moved again — not urgently, but with slow, circling gravity — each stroke deliberate, each pause a caress. She moaned, long and low, her voice cracking at the edges, her body braced for more.

And then — “Say it again.”

She turned her head, cheek pressed to the pillow, lips trembling.

“I want it to be yours.”

She shouldn’t have said that. Not if she wanted mercy. Not if she wanted anything soft or gentle or kind.

Because something snapped in him — not rage, not even lust, but that ancient spark that saw in her not just a woman, but a womb, a vessel, a living invitation. She had called him in, and now he came.

The change was immediate. No more restraint. No more careful measuring of her sighs. He gripped her hips like a beast who’d found its mate after too long alone. His thrusts grew sharp, punishing, their rhythm no longer seeking her approval — only her surrender.

She cried out — not in protest, never in protest — but in a voice scraped raw by pleasure too fast, too thick, too deep. She reached back blindly, trying to hold him, push him, slow him — gods, she didn’t even know — but he caught her wrists and pinned them to the mattress.

“Don’t move.” His voice — low, primal, hoarse with possession.

And she didn’t. She let him take her. Let him mark her from the inside.

Each thrust now was a growl without sound, a claim made not with words but with flesh. Her body clenched around him, dragged him deeper, called to the most ancient part of him — the part that did not know speech or guilt or law. Only seed. Only heat. Only the need to bury himself so deep she’d never forget who had been there.

When she moaned his name, he bit her shoulder — not hard, not to wound — just enough to seal it. His. For now. For that one terrible, perfect second where nothing else existed but this rhythm of ruin…

…He never moved. Only breathed — rough, shallow, burning. The vision had passed, like a hallucination conjured by heat and scent and her trembling thighs. In truth, he hadn’t ravaged her. Not yet. The brutality had lived only in his mind — a silent detour down some ancestral corridor — and now it faded, leaving behind the man he had taught himself to be: articulate, amused, irritatingly in control.

“You want it to be mine?” he murmured, not moving — just resting inside her, all warmth and weight and barely-concealed smugness. “You say that like it’s a gift, darling. Should I thank you with flowers? A letter? A commemorative plaque for your womb?”

She tried to twist under him, laugh, maybe protest — but she was too full, too stretched, too goddamn close.

“Y-you’re unbearable.”

“That’s not a no.”

He drew back just enough to tease — and she whimpered, hips chasing his — then plunged in again, slow and deliberate. Her whole body jerked.

“Still unbearable?”

“M-more.”

“Excellent.” He nuzzled the nape of her neck, sweat-damp hair clinging to his lips. “I’ve always dreamed of being someone’s favourite torture.”

She moaned something incoherent — probably blasphemous — and he kept going, every thrust now a commentary, every pause a smirk made flesh.

“There. There again. Yes, just there — the spot your poor husband never even mapped.”

“Shut up — ”

“Can’t. I’m brilliant. And hard. And inside you.” He grinned into her skin. “Frankly, I’m doing God’s work.”

She shrieked and tried to twist again, but he caught her wrists and pinned them. Not rough, just firm. Final.

“Stay still, sweetheart.” His breath was a laugh. “You asked for it.”

She laughed. Not the polite kind, not the careful, feminine trill she had practised in drawing rooms and under chandeliers — no. This was guttural and messy, half a sob and half a bark of disbelief, because how could something so utterly obscene, so tenderly debauched, feel like home?

“God, yes,” she gasped, her cheek pressed against the pillow, arms twisted up to grip the headboard as if she could anchor herself to the world. She arched her hips back into him, trying to pull him deeper, harder — as though sheer will could fuse them.

“Yes, thank me. Thank me for letting you live this long without me.”

He leaned over her, chest grazing the curve of her spine, his voice a low, amused rumble against her ear. “That’s generous of you.”

“You have no idea,” she panted, twisting her head slightly so she could half-see him in the dim light behind her. Her fingers flexed against the wood. “I thought I wanted solemn. A husband. Respectability. I thought sex should be… gentle. Careful. Dimmed. Clean.”

He paused in his rhythm, just enough to raise an eyebrow she couldn’t see, his hips still nestled between hers. “Should be?”

“Fuck should be,” she hissed, her voice muffled by the pillow, but fierce. “This. This is what I didn’t know I needed. I want to laugh when it hurts and cry when it’s perfect. I want to be teased and ruined and worshipped and teased again. I want to be ridiculous, not reverent.”

Her thighs shifted restlessly beneath him, and she rolled her hips upward — just a little, just enough to press her backside more firmly into his abdomen, as if she could make a point with muscle memory alone.

“And you — you bastard — you get that.”

He dipped his head until his mouth brushed the nape of her neck, mock-serious. “It’s a rare gift. Not everyone can make a woman feel holy and idiotic in the same thrust.”

A choked laugh escaped her lips, half-moan, half-howl, and she kicked back lightly at his calf. He didn’t budge. Instead, he kissed her shoulder blade, slowly, reverently.

“You’re so awful,” she groaned into the pillow. “So awful.”

“Thank you, love,” he murmured, beginning to move again — just enough for her to feel him reclaim her from the inside out, as if their shared pulse was the only tempo that mattered. “And you’re welcome.”

She whimpered his name, muffled and broken. This time not a request — a revelation. A fact.

“Tell me what you want,” he said, bending close until his lips brushed the shell of her ear.

“You. Just you. As long as you don’t stop being — this.”

His smile she couldn’t see, but she felt it — in the way he shifted, adjusted, drove into her just so, drawing another gasp from her lungs.

“Cruel?”

“No. Fun.”

A beat. Then, softened, raw: “And yes. Maybe a bit cruel.”

He laughed against her skin — not mockery, but delight — and his hands slid down her sides to grip her hips. With a new angle and a sharper thrust, he pinned her flat against the bed.

“You know,” he whispered, “I think we might make an absolutely disastrous pair.”

“Ruin me,” she whispered back into the pillow. “And never take it back.”

He didn’t answer with words. He let his body speak for him.

He slowed his movements just enough for his voice to slip through the heavy air between them, low and teasing, threading desire with mischief. “Tell me, did you prepare yourself… properly?” His fingers wandered over the gentle swell of her hip, tracing lazy, deliberate circles as his gaze locked with hers, sharp and knowing. “Did you cleanse yourself back there, where now I dwell?”

Her breath caught — half shock, half laughter — bubbling up like a soft spring breaking through winter’s crust. “What do you mean? Do you find me… repulsive?”

He shook his head, voice warm and steady as a quiet flame. “No, not in the least. I care for you too much for that. But now it’s my turn to want — every inch, every secret corner of you.”

A flicker of heat and curiosity danced across her eyes. “And what exactly do you want?”

His lips brushed behind her ear, a whisper folded with promise and playful daring. “There’s a tale, old and whispered in shadows — that for a child to truly root in the flesh, a woman must take a man’s seed not just here, inside, but also in her mouth.”

Her laugh was light, a sudden release like spring rain. “You needn’t fret for me. I’ve always been a girl who tends to her purity. And if there’s a desire you hold… I’m yours to explore.”

His smile deepened, the fire in his eyes matching hers in that sacred, mischievous dance. “Then let’s see how far these whispers carry us.”

He slipped from her slowly, each inch reluctant to leave the heat that clung to him like a second skin. Rising beside the bed, bare feet whispering against the worn floorboards, he stood tall — every muscle taut, every breath measured yet heavy with want.

She shifted on all fours, the soft press of her palms and knees grounding her, hips swaying with a languid grace. Her skin gleamed in the dim light, a subtle sheen of sweat mixing with the faint scent of jasmine and musk that clung to her like a secret spell. She turned, eyes dark pools catching his hunger, lips parting wetly, glistening with anticipation.

Slowly, she drew closer, her warm breath stirring the fine hairs at the base of him, where flesh met root — intimate, vulnerable. Her lips parted just so, moist and trembling, like the first tremor of dawn light brushing against fragile petals. The scent of her breath — a mix of wild herbs and something faintly sweet, something entirely hers — hovered just before him, an unspoken promise.

Her hands gripped his hips with a soft insistence, nails barely grazing the taut skin beneath, leaving whispering trails of sensation. The subtle sounds she made — the shallow intake of breath, the faint sighs — threaded through the charged air, weaving a quiet music to which their bodies began to answer.

She took him slowly, lips barely brushing at first, a teasing, tentative exploration. The warm breath from her mouth stirred the bare skin there, intimate and raw. Her tongue flicked out lightly, tasting the salt of him, coaxing him deeper, but not yet taking him fully. It was a slow unveiling, a promise wrapped in sensation.

His fingers found her hair, fingers threading through the soft strands, gentle but insistent. Each tiny movement of her mouth sent a shiver coursing up his spine, awakening every nerve beneath his skin. It was not mere touch; it was claiming, a possession as subtle as the brush of a whisper.

The heat between them thickened, a quiet crescendo building, breaths coming faster, mingling and stolen in the dim light. He held her close to him, anchored by the pull of her hunger and the delicate power in the way she took him.

Her lips deepened their exploration, no longer tentative but deliberate, pressing against him with a tender insistence that teased and ignited. The wet heat of her mouth enveloped him, a slow, consuming fire that both grounded and unmoored him. He could feel the subtle shift in her rhythm — the way her tongue danced along his length, tracing secrets only they could understand.

His hands, no longer idle, roamed her back, sliding beneath the curve of her ribs to cradle the hollow of her waist. Skin met skin with a friction both soft and demanding, the mingling of their warmth painting invisible trails along bare flesh. Each pulse, each subtle contraction beneath him, echoed in the quiet chamber of their shared breath.

Her eyes lifted, gleaming with a wild, fierce light, locking with his in a gaze that spoke of surrender and challenge all at once. The delicate arch of her neck, the sharp line of her jaw, all vulnerable and alive under his touch — it was a map he wanted to memorize, one kiss, one touch at a time.

Between them, the air pulsed — charged with the rhythm of hearts pounding like tribal drums in the quiet room. She trembled slightly, not from hesitation but from the raw, naked honesty of their connection. There was no pretense here, no artifice, only the unvarnished truth of flesh seeking flesh.

He exhaled slowly, the sound low and ragged, a mix of command and invitation. The moment stretched taut, balanced on the fragile edge between restraint and release. Every movement was a question, every sigh an answer. And in that charged silence, they both understood — this was no mere act, but a ritual, an unfolding of something ancient and profound.

She took him deeper now — slowly, luxuriously — her lips parting wider as the thick weight of him slid further past the warm seal of her mouth. No gagging, no rushing — only control, devotion, and a strange, exquisite pride. Her hands braced against his hips, thumbs drawing idle, reverent circles into his skin as she let her throat open, muscle by muscle, like a learned offering.

He watched her through heavy-lidded eyes, the cords of his neck tight, jaw clenched not with discomfort but with a deep, blooming astonishment. She wasn’t just accommodating him — she was savouring him. Receiving him. Her every motion bespoke a knowledge of power, and a delight in surrendering it.
