Kinzer stared into his eyes.
Dedrus reared his head back, giving Kinzer permission to slice his throat open if that was what he thought he needed to do.
Kinzer ground his teeth, groaning as he tossed his sword aside.
“Fuck!” He stomped to the side of a nearby building and smashed his fists against the wall, his sleeve appearing as if it were straining to contain his flexing biceps. “Fuck, fuck!”
Maggie helped Dedrus to his feet. He made his way to Kinzer.
“Kinzer.” He rested his hand on his shoulder. “I would never betray you. Please believe that.”
“I know,” Kinzer said, his chin quivering as he spoke. “With all this going on, it’s just hard to know who to trust. I don’t know what I was thinking. I’m sorry.”
Dedrus wrapped his arms around him.
They embraced.
“You assholes need to get your shit together!” Maggie fussed.
Dedrus chuckled. “So where we gonna take this bitch?”
“I know a place.”

Kid pushed through the brush.
Since his last jungle fuck session with Treycore, he hadn’t bothered to put his shirt back on. Sweat flowed like a waterfall down his rigid rock-wall-of-an-abdomen. His legs convulsed. It still felt as if Treycore was inside him.
“You…think…I’m gonna die out here?” he asked, panting heavily.
Treycore snickered as he pushed a branch out of his path. “I’m not gonna let you die,” he said. For a moment, Kid imagined he was saying it because he actually had feelings for him, but he knew better. It was just because Kinzer had asked him to protect him.
“Well, it’ll be nice when we finally get out of here,” Kid said, exasperated.
Treycore threw a glance over his shoulder.
“It hasn’t been that bad,” he said with a cocky smile.
A rush of excitement welled in him. He liked that, despite being a mortal, Treycore had thought they’d had a good time. Maybe that meant he did like him.
No. Shut up! That’s ridiculous,he thought, mentally chastising himself.
“In fact,” Treycore said, whirling around, picking Kid up, and slamming him against a nearby tree. “I wouldn’t mind being stuck out here a little longer.”
Kid blushed. His heart skipped a beat.
Treycore moved in to kiss him, when a sound caught their attention.
A rumbling. Like a car engine.
Just a few yards ahead, what looked like a bus moved between the cracks in a cluster of fronds.
There must be a road, Kid thought.
Treycore and Kid broke away from each other and bolted toward the bus.
We’re saved!
