Chapter Six
Kinzer kissed his way down Dedrus’s stomach.
After their first delicious, frenzied encounter, they’d fucked their way into Dedrus’s room. They savored each other for a third time. It was just what Kinzer needed: a good revenge fuck.
Kinzer knew that look in Dedrus’s eyes. Dedrus wanted him, and Kinzer took advantage of it. He wanted Dedrus to know what he was missing—to remember the days when they’d fucked like this so often. Even with revenge on his brain, Kinzer hadn’t been able to distance himself from the pleasure—those erotic sensations that Dedrus stirred within him. Those sensations had awakened his past with Dedrus, reminding him of the pain of rejection when he’d lost Dedrus forever.
When Dedrus had been sent to work with another troop in Feint, Dedrus had fallen for another higherling, Ryson. Ryson, like Dedrus, had been part of an elite class of the Almighty’s higherlings, and so it made sense that they’d wound up together. After all, Kinzer was, and always would be, a laborer. Kinzer wasn’t sure how he’d ever convinced himself that Dedrus could love him. Perhaps he’d just wanted to believe that.
Painful as it was for Kinzer, Dedrus’s affair with Ryson convinced Kinzer that Dedrus could never love him…not as much as he loved Dedrus.
Kinzer descended onto Dedrus’s swelling cock, his tongue swirling, his lips dripping with saliva.
“Oh!” Dedrus cried.
That’s right.This is all you can ever have.
As much as he still cared for Dedrus, a part of Kinzer wanted him to experience the same pain he’d felt the day he’d found out about Ryson. But Kinzer doubted he could ever cause Dedrus that much pain, because Dedrus could never care for him as much as he’d cared for Dedrus.
BANG!
Kinzer’s mouth withdrew. He sat up, alert. “What the—”
Dedrus hopped to his feet and scrambled to a closet. “The front door,” he whispered, digging through hanging button-up shirts.
The sword Dedrus had given Kinzer was propped beside the bed. Snatching it by the hilt, Kinzer slid out of bed.
“Go out the window.” Kinzer tiptoed to the door. “Get to Maggie's room. See if you can sneak her out.”
“What about you?”
“At the least, I'll be a good distraction.”
Dedrus unfastened the window.
CREAK!
He slid it open. As he slipped out, he turned back to Kinzer.
“Be careful.”
Stepping beside the door, Kinzer nodded. He cracked it open, peering into the hall. Holding his sword in front of him, he stepped into the hall. He glanced over the rail, looking down into Dedrus’s living room. Light from a streetlamp out front outlined everything with a soft, orange glow.
Nothing out of the ordinary, and no sign of an intruder.
His cock swung like a pendulum as he made his way down the hall, his focus shifting about, ready for someone to pop out at him.
He came to the door to Maggie's room and pushed it open.
A deep, heavy breathing spilled into the hall. It was the most obnoxious snoring Kinzer thought he'd ever heard come from a mortal. It sounded like a dog growling.
Maggie lay in bed, fast asleep. Dedrus ducked as he slipped through the open window beside her bed.
Kinzer took a moment to appreciate the view of his ass. Dorky as he was, he really did have a nice little body.
Dedrus gave him a thumbs-up.
Kinzer turned the knob and pulled the door shut ever so quietly, starting back down the hall.
