He persisted anyway, squatting lower, allowing the tears to rush from his eyes. As excruciating as it was, it reminded Kid of those early encounters—those delicious moments they shared when they connected on such a deep level, when they said so much without exchanging words. Just their lust, their passion, their heated desire for one another.
He let Treycore push in even more, only letting him in a few inches, as much as he could manage, but even when Kid was sure he’d reached his limit, Treycore grabbed Kid’s leg and pulled him down even more.
Kid called out, the pain swelling inside him, and Treycore said, “Sorry, sorry, sorry.”
“I’m fine,” Kid said, still wincing.
He took deep breaths, working to soothe that sting, but at the same time, loving the way it hurt, loving knowing it was Treycore who was responsible. As Kid recovered from the overwhelming surge of energy—his body’s awarness of how dangerous what he was doing was—Kid moved up and down in a slow rhythm.
Treycore’s fingers massaged across Kid’s abs.
“I’m gonna come!” Treycore exclaimed as he threw his head back.
“Yes,” Kid begged. “Fill me.”
Treycore pulled him down farther onto his dick. Even though it wasn’t much—with Kid taking six inches at the most—it hurt like a motherfucker, and Kid screamed as he felt Treycore swell within him even more.
Treycore sat up and put his arm around Kid, kissing him, pushing in slightly, the sensation against Kid’s prostate forcing his cum to spew across Treycore’s abs before he collapsed on top of the higherling—hishigherling.
As Kid’s body continued twitching and shaking, he appreciated knowing that Treycore’s cum was up in him. He reveled in the thought as he gasped for air. He hadn’t realized it, but in trying to stifle the pain, he’d held his breath in those final moments.
Treycore held him close, but it wasn’t close enough for Kid, and the way Treycore clawed at his body, it was like even Treycore wished they could be one in that moment. That there would be no distinction between what was Trey and what was Kid.
Kid could feel in the way Trey held him that he was uneasy…worried, even.
“Don’t let this get in your head, Kid,” he whispered into Kid’s ear, his hot breath hitting his lobe, leaving Kid longing, wanting, needing.
Kid didn’t want to look at him, but with his free hand Treycore grabbed Kid’s chin, turning his head, and tilting it up so he was forced to. “Don’t let this confuse what we have, what we’ve always had. I knew it from the moment I set eyes on you. You’ve been around plenty of immortals, and none of them reacted the way I did, and I have experienced everything, love that I thought was deep and pure, and still, after eons of that, what I felt with you was so much more powerful, and it was what scared me at first. It was why I was such a jerk to you, because it didn’t make sense…because yes, I did see you as just this lowly mortal, but you’re so much more than that. How do you feel about me?”
While Kid appreciated Treycore’s sincerity, he had another worry on his mind. “I love you, but that doesn’t change how I feel about what I might have to do.”
Treycore shook his head. “I fucking know you. It’s like that time you signed yourself over to Vera like that. You sacrificed yourself for me…for no fucking reason.”
“There was a reason.”
“Not a good enough one.”
“Yes, there was,” Kid insisted. “You don’t realize how amazing you are.”
“Obviously that’s the issue I’m having with you.”
Kid recoiled at his words. Trey couldn’t understand that good as they felt, they also felt like a lie. And it reminded him of the pheromones he gave off.
“It’s more than what you’re thinking,” Treycore said, as though he was reading his thoughts the way he always could when they fucked.
That was all it was. That was all it could be.
Treycore started to say something, Kid imagined to refute his skepticism, but before he had a chance, Kid said, “Trey, this is something I need to think about for a bit…on my own.”
Treycore nodded, but Kid could tell he didn’t want to leave him, and he understood why. They’d been apart for so long, and they needed to take advantage of the time they had, especially when they would soon be facing off against Janka and whatever army he had guarding him in his tower.
After everything Kid had been through, it felt as if he had a moment left with Trey in the eye of the storm, and while he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, he had so much to sort through.
Treycore glanced around him. “Come back closer to the cabin. I don’t feel comfortable, you being by yourself out here. Not with everything that’s happening.”
“Are you crazy?” Kid asked. “You thought I was gonna stay in some creepy old woods without my Treycore?”
Treycore chuckled before licking up the middle of Kid’s lips. Kid licked his own lips, desperate to get whatever he could of Trey inside him. They pulled apart, pried themselves away from one another before putting their clothes on.
