Rin hated museums.
And he didn’t want to be a dickless statue.
Kelevra hauled him off the floor, all that taunt, tanned muscle displayed beneath the golden chains flexing as he did, and shoved him onto his back on the king-sized bed. A satisfied rumble traveled up the back of his throat as he peered down at Rin as if waiting to see how Rin would react to having just been tossed like a sack of flour.
Truthfully, for a split second, he wasn’t even sure. He wasn’t exactly a small guy. He’d bulked up to protect himself back in high school, the training sessions both he and his brother had gotten into loaded and time-consuming. It’d given them focus and purpose. Still, it’d been high school, so of course he’d found opportunities to sneak off and explore his sexuality.
Rin was pansexual, he liked what he liked.
And damn, did he like what he saw when he looked at the Imperial Prince.
The guy having tricked him here, into his bedroom? Not so much.
Fortunately for Kelevra, Rin was too busy feeling like he was about to spontaneously combust to pay too much heed to the screaming war drums in his brain. Instead, he focused on his other needs, the lower ones, hips flicking absently up when he did, another reedy moan rushing out of him.
When was the last time he’d felt anything even close to this? He tried to remember, but if there’d ever been a time, it eluded him. Ever since they’d been kids, life had been about survival, pure and simple. Get through the next hour. The next day. The next year. All to graduate high school and get to leave for college. They’d picked the furthest place they could convince their father to allow them to go and yet it still hadn’t been far enough.
They were still fending off their demons, in a warped and constant battle to beat them back into their little boxes, to compartmentalize and drive the door closed for just a little while longer.
“I’m fucking exhausted,” he said, the words slipping past his lips without him meaning them to, and even that had him chuckling, because when was the last time he’d done something like that? Speaking his mind? His real mind? In front of anyone other than his brother?
Kelevra, who was kneeling on the bed next to him frowned. “That’s odd. I’m not aware of that being a side effect.”
Considering he’d slipped him a sex drug, Rin understood the confusion.
He snorted. “That’s not what I meant.”
As far as he could tell, he had three options. The first was to give into the fury, potentially murder the Imperial Prince or get murdered by him. The second was to fight his way out of this room with a boner and the beginnings of some cramps throughout his entire body. Maybe make it to the party and then end up jumping someone anyway.
The third was to give in.
Yeah, he thought Kelevra was sexy, and sleeping with him wouldn’t be all that big of a sacrifice if he was being honest. But it was risky. Maybe too risky. Drawing the attention of someone that high up the hierarchy? Dangerous. Pretty much everything he and his brother always worked toward avoiding.
But…He pressed the heel of his hand down onto his trapped dick and whined like a bitch in heat. That anger slashed through the lust once more and he tried to suppress it, afraid of what it might lead him to do if he didn’t.
Kelevra reached for him and Rin gnashed his teeth, giving the other man pause and…fuck. This wasn’t going to work.
“Tie me down,” he ordered, not bothering to consider how foolish he was being by demanding things from someone who was acting as a commanding officer.
An abuser of power was more like but whatever.
He’d rage about that later when he was safe and alone.
“Demanding thing, aren’t you.” There was something on Kel’s face that gave him away despite the comment. He was intrigued, and if the straining cock still struggling to push its way past the thin barrier of those swim trunks was any indication, he was just as aroused as Rin was.
“Did you take one of those pills too?” Rin asked.
“No, Flower, this is just what you do to me.”
He scowled. “Don’t call me that.”
“Why not? Look at you, all ready to unfurl for me.” Kelevra reached for his throat but Rin slapped him away. “Guess you were serious about those restraints.”
“Don’t act like you’re not giddy at the notion,” Rin spat.
Kel was in the process of reaching for the top drawer of the end table on this side of the bed but he paused and tipped his head, eyes narrowing slightly. “My, my. You are good at reading people. Interesting that you followed me up here so willingly.”
“I was following orders,” he bit out. Rin had been trying to manage things. “I vastly underestimated how many laws you’d be willing to break during our first meeting.”
