lewdly smacking his bloody lips together. “I bet you taste fantastic...”

“Leave him alone,” Frankie warned, appearing right beside them. “You got what you came for. I’m

going with you. Don’t you dare harm him.”

Snod’s hands were still bound behind his back. He tried to jerk away and kicked at Terrell violently.

Assaulting a dumpster full of cement would have been an easier opponent.

Terrell didn’t budge.

“I’m going to kill you,” Snod promised him with a horrible grin. “You will not take him from me. He

is mine. I will fucking hunt you down, I swear it!”

“Such spirit!” Terrell praised, lightly smacking Snod’s cheek. “I can see why you fancy him so,

Francis.”

“Let him go,” Frankie demanded again, a faint hint of pleading softening his tone now.

Terrell shrugged, dropping Snod promptly as he sighed, “Say your farewells, and let us be on our

way.”

Snod never hit the floor, Frankie catching him and holding him tightly. The zip tie was snapped away

like a piece of straw, and Snod quickly embraced Frankie the moment he was free. He leaned into

him, shaking his head and trying not to cry.

Snod wanted to stay angry and seek out the strength in his rage, but all he could think about was this

might be the last time he would ever hold his beloved boyfriend.

Frankie bit deeply into his palm and let his blood flow freely over Snod’s wounded back. All the cuts

were vanishing, and the pain faded away until the only agony left was Snod’s heart splitting into

fragments.

I’m sorry, I’m so fucking sorry, please, forget about me, get on with your life, find someone else, I

love you so much!

Snod growled miserably, kissing Frankie passionately as he panted, “No, no, no. I’m not, I won’t! I

won’t let you go!”

You don’t have a choice...

“Yes, I do!” Snod snarled, possessively curling his fingers into Frankie’s shoulders. “You taught me

that! There’s always a choice! I can make my own fucking decisions, and I am not giving up on you!”

Take the cure, break the bond, and forget about me, please. Terrell will kill you if you try to come

for me... please, Obe. I love you...
