Coming from anyone else, Kaz would consider it pride, but coming from Nate it was obvious that wasn’t it at all. Everything, no matter what the context, always circled back to one thing for him.
Not wanting to disappoint or burden others.
“So what, being fucked by a Devil on the side is embarrassing for Big Brother, but taking it from your man in an official capacity is somehow different?” he snorted derisively, but Nate didn’t rise to the bait.
“You wanted this to stick it to your family member,” he said matter-of-factly. “I agreed to protect mine. You were fairly straightforward that sex was going to be a part of it no matter what I chose.”
The pieces clicked into place. “You didn’t come to Vail for my benefit. That act you just put on, that was for you.”
“Another thing you taught me last night?” Nate quirked a challenging brow. “I have to protect myself. Any way I can.”
“You meanBig Brother,” Kaz sneered. “You don’t actually give a shit about yourself, Narek. Tell me, is there anyone you actually do care about other than Nuri?” It bothered him. Even knowing they were brothers by blood, it irked him to think about the lengths Nate was willing to go to for someone other than him.
Sure, Kazimir had forced him into this, but the goal had been to fuck him into giving into him. Not fuck him to the point he realized if he didn’t, he was risking Nuri’s reputation. Which reminded him—
“Big Brother wouldn’t approve of you sleeping around with a Devil, is that what you said? Why?” Some of them were princes, for fucks sake. It wasn’t like they were lowlifes. “This isVitality. We’re gods here. More than half the population would beg for me to use these straps on them.”
“Should have bought all of this for one of them instead of me then.” Even though he had to be getting uncomfortable in the stuck position, Nate wasn’t cowering before him like he wanted. “And to answer your other question, yes of course Nuri isn’t the only one I care about.” He held his gaze. “I have a sister, too.”
With a growl, he pulled his hand free and lined himself up to Nate’s entrance, that coil of anger within him spurring him on. Later, when he was in his right mind, he might look back on this and wonder how the hell he’d allowed Nate to gain the upper hand the way he had, but for now, all he could think of was punishing him.
Making himfeelKaz in all the ways he could.
He notched his crown against Nate’s rim and hissed at the heat as he pushed inside. Even after the insane pounding he’d given that hole last night, it gripped him tightly as he entered, his cock sinking inside of him inch by delectable inch.
“You should see the view,” he teased as he was swallowed whole, circling his hips the way he remembered Nate liked.
Sure enough, his pretty racer tossed his head back against the seat, the cock cage shaking as his dick tried to lengthen again. He might protest all of this, but Nate’s body was still so responsive. It’d been the same when they’d been in his bed. He’d cried and begged and said no and stop more times than Kaz could count, and yet every single time Kazimir had wanted him to, he’d come.
Kaz didn’t want him to come now.
He was angry, and even knowing that it was childish of him, he wanted to take it out on Nate for making him this way. He’d fucked a lot of people in the past, so why had Nate’s fake kindness toward his friends aggravated him so much? Why didknowing that had come from a place where Nate’s goal had been pleasing Nuri and not him infuriate him?
He started thrusting with no warning, putting all of his frustration behind each and every spearing of his cock. “Remember what I said, babe? Pretty sure I told you that from now on, you only have to worry about pleasing me. So then why the fuck were you asking Saint and Yule if they wanted lunch money? Why are you only thinking about your brother, even now, when I’m claiming this sweet ass of yours?”
“Kazimir!”
He adjusted his legs so he could penetrate at a different angle, one hand dropping onto the cage when Nate cried out.
“There’s literally no way of pleasing you!” Nate growled. “I did exactly what you asked! Yet you’re still—”
“Fucking you senseless?” He shook his head. “You didn’t do anything for me. Talking to them, spreading the rumor we’re dating, that was all for you andNuri.”
Something came over Nate then, and he stopped resisting all at once. “You’re jealous.”
“Shut up.” Kazimir didn’t get jealous over a person. Especially not someone he’d literally picked up off the streets. “You aren’t important enough for me to do that.”
“Yeah?” Nate wasn’t even remotely buying it. “So it won’t bother you that I think Saint’s pink hair is sexy? It looks fantastic on him. Makes his tanned skin really stand out.”
Kaz made quick work of the cock cage and tossed it into the back before he gripped Nate himself with a warning growl.
Which only had Nate moaning and then laughing.
The absolute audacity.
He opened his mouth to threaten him, but Nate beat him to it.
“It’s okay,hahzi.” Nate smiled at him, not one of those fake smiles he’d given the others either, but one of the real ones,the one Kazimir had only ever caught a glimpse of aimed at someone else before. “This is the most human I’ve seen you since we met. I like it. Can I be honest? It wasn’t just about protecting my reputation. I took things too far on purpose.”
