20.b In Between (Bonus)

An additional chapter I wrote for the upcoming Valentine's Day.
The time it takes place in the story isn't important here, it's just a little celebration of love, that's all.
Enjoy!

They loved their bedtime ritual. The men were 'helping' each other, taking off their clothes completely to have the opportunity to admire their partner's body. 

Tonight wasn't different, except that when they laid down on the bed they kept the candles lit and took some time to relax and show their affection. 

Cornelius was trying to memorize Tarrant's face once again from the beginning. To remember how it is to look him in the eyes and what color they are, what it feels to stroke his hair and how incredibly orange they were. Nel's fingers traveled along the Hatter's jawline, touched his nose, lips and sharp cheekbones, then moved around his colorful eyelids, temples and forehead. He cupped the man's face finally. 

-You're a piece of art, Mister - The Doctor said. - I don't want to take my eyes off you… In fact, I'm not even waiting for nighttime dreams so impatiently anymore, because none of them would be better than the daydream I'm living with you. 

-Goodness! - Tarrant groaned - Neither can I. I can't think about sleeping when you're looking at me like this! 
Y

ou're talking to me so passionately I-I…

-I haven't even started, Darling - Cornelius smiled, his eyes seemed to blink out of excitement, encouraging his partner. The Mad Hatter pulled him closer, embracing him. The soft touch of Hatter's hand on his cheek and the amazingly-green gaze he felt on his lips made the Doctor blush. 

-Kiss me, Tarrant - He asked, looking deep in his husband's eyes. They slowly closed their eyelids, getting closer inch by inch. The stroking of their lips started softly, as if they were teasing each other. Nel was sucking on Tarrant's lower lip. With a tip of his tongue he licked the man's lips. 

Soon their tongues were playing together between deep dives into each other's mouth. Tarrant's hand was moving up and down Cornelius' thigh and squeezed his bottom. 

When Tarrant got up to get even closer to him, Cornelius spread his legs for him to slip in between them. 

The chest was his soft spot and while the Mad Hatter was petting it with his lips and hands, Cornelius was going out of his senses. The man was biting his lips, shivering under Tarrant's fingers… clenching his palms on his husband's wrists as if, overwhelmed, he was trying to stop him -I desired you from the very moment I took your hand in mine, back then on Alice's ship - He said leaving butterfly kisses on Tarrant's chin and neck - I felt goosebumps going down my spine and I knew you had to be mine. 

The Mad Hatter stopped and raised his gaze to meet the Doctor's eyes again. 

-Well, for me it was the moment when you decided to tie me up to that tree - Tarrant said and it made them both smile. 

-Madman at it's finest… and he's mine - Cornelius giggled slightly, amused. He stretched his neck, letting the man fondle it. 

Nel's arms and legs wrapped around Tarrant's back, holding him close. - Let's pretend I am the tree now - He suggested whispering to his ear and then grasping its lobe gently with his teeth.
