Bartholomäus Spranger, Sine Cerere et Baccho friget Venus, ca. 1590, oil on canvas, 161.5 x 100 cm, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna

The Latin proverb serving as title for the painting can be translated as “Without Ceres and Bacchus, Venus freezes” and is based on a quotation by the Roman comedian Terence. It inspired several paintings of Northern Mannerism and Baroque, in which its basic meaning (’love cannot thrive without food and wine’) is illustrated in a sometimes more, sometimes less moralizing way (Source: Wikipedia).

Glass Cuts Deepest (12)
[ professor! • Aemond x student! • female ]
[ warnings: oral sex, fingering, smut, kissing, fluff, angst, trauma, mention of rape, indecent student-teacher relationship ]
Tumblr media
[ description: A female painting student is finally able to choose the specialisation she has dreamt of - stained glass. She wants to become a student of the best specialist in this field, but he, for some reason, refuses to accept female students into his workshop. She finds out that he once slapped a female student of one of the other professors. Nevertheless, she makes an attempt to find out what happened then and to convince him to teach her. Slow burn, sexual tension, dark, agressive Aemond, great childhood traumas. ]

Previous and next chapters: Masterlist
_____
He fully realised how involved he already was in this relationship when he had to fall asleep alone in his bedroom after he returned home. His flat had never seemed so empty, so cold, so alien to him before. He realised that it didn't even have anyone's photos in it, no memorabilia, it was a place where he existed between work and nothing else.
He tried to do what he always did, made himself a cup of tea and turned on the TV to watch the news, read a book on catacomb painting he'd borrowed from Cregan, but still all he did, all he focused on, was glancing at his phone screen.
She hadn't texted him, nor had he texted her even though they had each other's phone numbers.
He himself didn't know how he felt about it, at the same time raging with desperation, opening the new message window several times to write her anything, to apologise for the scene he had done to her the day before or to wish her a good night, but each time he deleted everything, throwing the phone somewhere in a corner, heartbroken.
Perhaps she needed time to herself to think things through.
He had cornered her and not given her time to think, and she might not have really wanted that.
She might not have wanted to take on the kind of baggage he was carrying.
He went to bed with this thought and turned off the lamp, but he felt restless and uncomfortable. He got up twice and checked that the front door was locked, just in case, then went back and laid under his duvet, but the feeling remained in him.
The feeling that something was going to happen, that he would hear the sound of the door opening, as it did then, and see her on the doorstep.
He shuddered at the thought, clenching his eyes shut, dreaming only of Wright calling him, of telling him she missed him and wanted to see him, of coming to him and falling asleep beside him, making him feel safe.
She didn't call and he wriggled through the night, panicked, sad and tired. He gave up at four in the morning and took a shower, made himself a quick coffee in a thermos and drove to the university, deciding that he would rather use this time in some meaningful way.
He turned on all the lights and took a sheet of clear glass from his compartment, intending to cut it for his personal project, wanting to create a stained glass window for himself with Adam and Eve motif.
He wished to model himself on Dürer's copperplate, but changing it a little, softening the proportions of the figures, painting them in a slightly more mannerist form. He had no intention of giving the figures their faces, of course, however he found the work itself meaningful.
He shuddered when he heard someone come inside, despite the fact that there was still an hour left before classes started, and froze completely when he saw her standing in the aisle.
"Good morning." She said softly, warmth and happiness in her eyes at the sight of him from which he felt heat in his chest, he couldn't stop the shy smile that forced itself onto his lips.
He couldn't stop himself from kissing her as soon as she let him get close.
He found, despairingly, that her scent was enough to make him completely hard and he suffered through the day, watching her from the sidelines, witnessing the way she talked to her year mates, being able to get close to anyone but him.
As he spoke and noticed her gaze, he would lose the thread and have to quickly return his thoughts to what he had just talked about, embarrassed and ashamed that he had acted like a child.
The only thing that kept him sane was that she had agreed to come to him in the evening.
Despite the fact that he usually worked after hours, that afternoon he returned to his flat immediately after class, doing his shopping beforehand, recognising that he had to host her somehow and prepare something to eat.
He was also embarrassed to find that he should change the bedding for a clean one.
While doing this, all he could think about was what they were going to do on his bed when she came to him and he had a feeling his cock would just explode with arousal.
He didn't want to touch himself before she came though, he wanted to be desperate and on the edge of his endurance, he hoped that this would make him finally get over himself, that the lust would completely stupefy him and make him think of nothing else but fulfilment.
When at last she knocked on his door, when at last she stood on his threshold he felt apprehensive, realising that he had never invited anyone there before.
He let her in without a word, feeling his throat tighten. She was wearing a dress and nice long, white socks that he couldn't stop looking at, thinking only of the fact that he wanted to press her against the wall and slip his hand under her underwear, wondering if she was in the same state as him.
"If there's something wrong, I'll change, I took my things." Her worried voice snapped him out of his reverie and he looked at her surprised, not understanding what she was talking about, only realising after a moment that she thought he was looking at her like this because he found her outfit inappropriate.
"What? No, no. Come in. Are you hungry? I'm just heating up dinner." He said embarrassed at the direction his thoughts were running off in, deciding that she should at least eat something before he touched her, heading towards the kitchenette.
"Yeah, I'd love to." She said softly as she followed him, sitting down on the other side of the kitchen counter, looking intently at what he was doing.
He felt strangely tense, he'd never seen another human being in this space, much less a woman, he recognised that he hadn't spoken to one in so many years that he wasn't even sure how he should refer to her, not wanting to come across as a buffoon or a simpleton.
He knew he hadn't shown his best side to her before and he wanted to change that, but it only made him stress even more and say very little.
He almost choked, pulled out of his reverie when he heard her question while they ate.
"Where am I going to sleep?"
He looked at her in shock, thinking quickly about what he should answer, recognising that if he told her he wanted her to sleep in his bed it would immediately give away what he desired, perhaps putting her in an awkward position. He decided to get out of it somehow.
"…it's up to you. I can sleep on the couch." He said cautiously, watching her reaction, wanting to make sure she didn't think he was just a pervert who was only hoping for his student's young body to make his night more pleasant.
She meant so much more to him.
"What if I don't want you to sleep on the couch?" She asked quietly, looking up at him with her big, warm eyes.
God.
He reached quickly for his wine glass, taking a sip from it, feeling her question in his trousers. He set it down, looking at her intensely, wondering if she really wanted an answer to that question or was just teasing him.
Then we'll fuck, he thought.
"Will you show me your bedroom?" She asked softly, lightly, non-committally, and he swallowed loudly, wondering if she was doing it on purpose or if in her mind it was really just an innocent question that wasn't going to lead to anything more.
"Are you sure you want this?" He asked carefully, looking at her face, and she nodded. He pressed his lips together, gazing at her bare shoulders, the shape of her breasts outlining under her dress, and thought he couldn't take it anymore.
He stood up and glanced at her, waiting for her to move behind him.
He led her to one of the rooms to which the door was on the corridor and stepped inside, lighting the lamp standing by his bedside table, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, feeling his heart pounding hard, his hands clenched into fists.
He felt his manhood pulsate painfully hard in his trousers as she unhurriedly laid on his bed with her stomach down, placing her cheek on his pillow, playing with the fabric of his sheets, not even looking at him. He looked down at her long legs and swallowed loudly, thinking that if he didn't touch her soon he would probably die.
He circled his bed, climbing onto it and kneeling behind her, having her legs between his thighs. He lifted the material of her dress up and exposed to him the bare, glistening skin of her buttocks, which were framed by pretty white lace panties. He placed his large hand on one of them and stroked it, feeling how soft and firm her skin was, her whole body tensing under his touch.
There was no turning back now, he thought.
He'd been thinking about it all night.
About how he wanted to do this.
He placed one hand next to her head while sliding the other across her stomach and squeezed her with his body, sighing along with her as he pressed his length hidden under the material of his trousers between her buttocks, rubbing against her, feeling a wonderful pulsing, his free hand brushing away her hair, kissing her neck with his warm lips.
They both drew in a loud breath as his hand under her belly slid lower, pulling up her dress, picking at the material of her panties, slipping his fingers underneath. He heard her moan helplessly, writhing beneath him as he touched her moisture, he involuntarily licked his lower lip, feeling how hard he was.
"− have you been this wet since you came in here? − or maybe since this morning? −" He gasped delightedly, trailing his lips along her soft skin, listening to her accelerated, erratic breathing, rubbing with the movements of his hips against her buttocks, making shivers come over him, her wonderful scent filling his nostrils.
"− it's your fault, professor −" She mumbled regretfully, and he felt her words between his thighs, his cock pulsed hard when she called him that, shamelessly using his academic title in such a situation, his fingers began to massage her in circular, sure motions around her clit, making her moans of pleasure grow louder and louder.
"− mine? − because I take care of my student's needs like any good professor in my position? −" He breathed out in her ear and smirked mischievously feeling how his movements were accompanied by a sticky click of her juices, both of them panting and moaning, her thighs involuntarily parting beneath him, allowing him better access.
"− I need this − please −" She mumbled with difficulty, clenching her hands on the fabric of his pillow. He groaned low, rubbing himself against her, feeling the heat in his lower abdomen at the thought of what he wanted to do.
"− I know −" He hummed, then slid the tip of his middle finger gently inside her, her walls hot, fleshy and sticky, tight, resisting him with his every gentle movement. He felt a powerful shudder pass through her, she cried out beneath him in pleasure, parting her lips, her body trembling under him.
"− shhh −" He hushed her, not letting her move, delighted that she was at his mercy, that he was touching her in such a way and it felt wonderful, not a trace of discomfort or bad memories in his mind.
"− please − ah − please − please −" She mewled pleadingly, he thought with tenderness that she was on the verge of orgasm, unable to get anything more out of herself, and he merely teased her, sliding his finger in and out of her, returning to her clit again after a while, not giving her what she needed.
"− please, what? − don't be disrespectful, title me properly −" He growled warningly, recognising that she had wanted this herself, she had wanted to play like this and now she had to suffer the consequences.
He heard her moan loudly at his words, her thighs trembling under his hand, his fingers all sticky from her moisture massaging her with a loud, lewd click.
"− please, professor − please, I've been waiting for this all day −" She mumbled, and he chuckled low, taking pity on her at last, seeing the state she was in, and slid his whole finger inside her, feeling how wonderfully hot and rough she was inside, her muscles clenched against him greedily.
He heard her gasp loudly, pressing her face against his pillow, her hips struggling to move in rhythm with his movements as he kissed her neck, her jaw, her cheek, her temple.
"− soaking wet for her professor − fuck − you're a very dedicated student, aren't you? −" He gasped in delight, literally fucking her with his finger, searching for the point inside her that he had read so much about on the internet, knowing that it should be somewhere above her entrance and realised that he had found it between her muscles when he heard her loud, surprised moan of pleasure, her lips parted wide, her eyes clenched as if in surprise and disbelief.
"− yes − God − yes, yes, please! −" She cried out pathetically, and a few of his movements were enough for her to cum on his fingers, her moisture spilling over his hand.
"− fuck − what a little mess you are −" He muttered with delight at her state, feeling how hard she came, fascinated with what he could do with her.
He groaned lowly feeling that he couldn't take it any more, that after what he had seen and felt he needed to finally relieve himself with his hand.
"− don't move − okay? −" He asked quickly, panting loudly along with her, lifting himself up and resting his body weight on his knees, unbuttoning his trousers and putting his hand under his boxers, with quick sure movements starting to jerk himself off, looking at her bare buttocks, at her wet underwear, at her face, at her trembling body.
Fuck, she was so pretty.
He knew he was going to cum soon, he could feel it.
"Can I kiss you there?" She asked softly, and he froze in mid-motion, panting heavily, thinking he'd overheard himself.
"What?"
He saw her open her eyes and press her lips together, playing with the fabric of his pillow, breathing unevenly.
"You could lie on your back and massage yourself, and I would kiss you there. I wouldn't touch you with my hands, just my lips and tongue. I've never done that before, so it would be our first time."
He stared at her in disbelief, breathing loudly, feeling his manhood pulsate hard in his hand at her words, at the thought that her sweet lips could touch him there, give him pleasure in such an intimate place. He thought, however, that he might inadvertently hurt her, and he would not forgive himself for that.
"− I − God - I don't know − I wouldn't want to hurt you − force you to do things like that, humiliate you −" He mumbled out struggling to put into words what he was feeling, he heard her move, shaking her head quickly, still not looking at him.
"− I want to try it − I'll tell you if it feels uncomfortable and you can do exactly the same − you don't feel bad when I kiss you, just when I touch you with my hands − I thought maybe this is our way to your fulfilment together −" She said softly, tenderly, and he felt he could come from just those words, from just imagining what she was talking about.
He felt horror and hope at the same time, he wanted her to do it, he wanted it to work, but he was afraid it would end up like the last time.
If she couldn't even touch his cheek, how could she touch him down there?
On the other hand, he realised that she was right, that they had kissed many times, but it was the touch of her hand that scared him.
Alys had never kissed him.
He swallowed loudly, looking at her uncertainly.
"−… will you tell me if there is something wrong? −" He asked in a voice trembling with emotion, and she nodded quickly.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
He let out a loud breath, burying his manhood in his boxers, laying down next to her on his back, leaning partially against the backrest, breathing loudly.
He swallowed hard, horrified when he saw her rise and move towards him, laying between his thighs, she didn't touch him, just looked at him expectantly.
"So?" She asked softly and he felt his cock pulsate impatiently, demanding at last the relief he craved, he was terrified and aroused, curious and uncertain, he felt his lips dry from exertion and licked them involuntarily with his tongue.
"If it goes wrong - what do I say?" He asked uncertainly, wanting to know how he was supposed to act if it was unpleasant after all, not wanting to hurt her with his sudden, aggressive response. She considered his words for a moment, lowering her gaze.
"− say 'slower' if you feel it's right but things are happening too fast, or 'faster' if it's too slow. If you feel bad say 'stop' and I'll pull away immediately −" She said calmly, and he felt relieved, sticking to these rules as something that could actually work, giving him a sense of security.
He thought that it might have gone too well for them.
"− and if I − you know −" He mumbled, and she smiled slightly, warmly, embarrassing him completely.
"− well − Eve was the first to taste the forbidden fruit, wasn't she? −" She asked softly, and he thought it was over, that with or without her mouth he had to come right now, because his cock would just explode in his boxers.
"− touch yourself as you always do and just say if what I'm going to do makes you uncomfortable − remember this is time for you and your pleasure −" She said calmly and he needed no more encouragement, on the verge of despair, slipping his hand back under the material of his boxers, tightening his fingers on his hard manhood, clenching his eyes in pleasure, jerking himself with sure up and down movements.
When he felt her lips on his sensitive skin he gasped and moaned, but thought with surprise that it was not unpleasant, more like a gentle tickle.
However, when after a moment he felt her lips and her tongue licking upwards to his tip he groaned louder, feeling a shiver of pleasure, her tongue was moist and rough, teasing him in a way that the touch of his own hand had never given him.
"− fuck −" He muttered, tilting his head back, panting heavily, massaging himself with increasing speed.
He stared at her in disbelief, seeing her leaning towards him with her eyes closed, mussing him with her lips, licking him with her tongue faster and more intensely, making him feel like he was just about to come on her face, his cock pulsing greedily in his hand.
He wasn't sure he'd ever seen a more perverted sight than her lips pressed to his swollen cock, dripping with his precum.
He parted his lips wider and gasped, surprised when she suddenly lifted higher and slid his tip between her lips, teasing and licking him with her tongue. He clenched his eyes shut, tilting his head back, feeling this incredibly gentle yet intense sensation, with an involuntary movement of his hips he pushed his length deeper into her throat, shuddering with arousal.
"− oh, God − please −" He mumbled out, horrified at how pleasurable this was and clenched his free hand in her hair, moving deep inside her mouth, feeling his whole body quiver in pleasure, just thinking about how warm and wet her throat was, how soft her lips were sucking him so intensely.
He thought that deep inside her he felt safe, he felt good, so wonderfully good.
"− faster − ah, fuck, squeeze me here −" He exhaled, grabbing her wrist quickly, tightening his hand with her fingers on his hard cock, showing her how she was supposed to squeeze him, her hand wonderfully soft and warm, giving him a much more pleasurable sensation than his own, jerking him with a sure, intense motion harmonising with the smooth movements of her lips, loud from the click of her saliva.
"− forgive me − fuck, 'm gonna cum −" He mumbled out surprised that his fulfilment was approaching so quickly, he felt it in his lower abdomen, and then he just cum in her mouth, panting heavily with pleasure, leaning forward, surprised at how hard he throbbed inside her, how his orgasm shook his body. He had never experienced anything like it before, and he felt completely stupefied by this wonderful, hot pleasure.
"− fuck − fuck, baby − oh my God −" He babbled with difficulty, clenching his eyes shut, breathing loudly, unable to stop himself from throbbing, listening as she bravely swallowed everything that came out of him.
He let go of her hand and hair, looking at her, and she immediately pulled away from him, sliding him out of her mouth with loud plop, breathing hard as he did, looking at him in disbelief.
He didn't know how any girl could look so innocent after sucking someone's cock.
He thought perhaps she was just a saint.
"− you are indeed my revelation −" He whispered embarrassedly, smiling involuntarily, feeling relieved, feeling free, because they had done it, succeeded, found a way for him to experience fulfilment with her, some point from which they could start.
He pulled her to him by the material of her dress, wanting to feel her close, now, immediately, and embraced her tightly, kissing the top of her head, feeling boundless gratitude for her sacrifice, that for her, too, this was the first time, and she was so brave, so good.
"Are you okay?" He whispered, and she nodded quickly, snuggling into him tighter.
They talked for a while longer, considering what to do next, whether she should move in with him. He respected her wishes and the fact that she preferred to keep her dorm room for now. He felt joy and peace when she said that she would be coming to stay with him overnight, that she would leave some of her belongings at his place.
That she would be there for him.
Just as he had promised, he let her study. After they both dressed in their pyjamas and lay down on his bed he snuggled into her, nuzzling his cheek against her soft breast hidden under the material of her t-shirt, her free hand combing through his hair as the other held the book she had just read, resting it on her raised thighs.
He muttered under his breath seeing what she was reading about, that she was preparing for an exam on the history of Renaissance art.
"Dürer?" He asked, running his pointing finger over her bare arm, and she nodded, turning the page, then went back to stroking his head.
"I'm working on a stained glass window right now, the design of which is based on his copperplate." He said softly, concentrating on how soft her skin felt under his fingers. He heard her move in curiosity, glancing up at him.
"What theme are you based on?" She asked excitedly, and he swallowed loudly, feeling embarrassed at how obvious his choice was.
"Adam and Eve." He whispered, pressing his lips together, waiting with a pounding heart for her reaction, wondering if she would see him as a desperate idiot.
He felt her hand freeze in the air only to surprise him as she hugged him tighter to her chest, placing her book on her stomach, embracing him with her other arm as well, leaning over him and kissing his hair. He murmured low, feeling hot in his heart at her reaction, her acceptance of how involved he was.
"They won't have our faces." He added lowly, and she giggled slightly, heartily, he felt butterflies in his stomach at that wonderful sound, at the thought that she was laughing because of him.
"Thank God my professor is so smart." She said with amusement, both mocking and praising him at the same time, and he snorted at her words, cuddling his face into her firm, soft breast, wonderfully warm, adjusting to the shape of his cheek.
He murmured quietly, turning his face and grasped her nipple hidden under the material of her shirt with his lips, sucking on it in a light, unhurried rhythm.
He heard her moan quietly, surprised, involuntarily pressing his head closer to her chest, clenching her thighs in a sudden surge of pleasure, stroking his hair.
"You promised." She muttered regretfully, alluding to the fact that he was going to let her study for her exam which was to take place in a few days. He hummed under his breath, rubbing her nipple with the tip of his nose.
"I promised I'd let you study when we were done."
