He aimed his cock just as the orgasm hit him, ringing himself over Zane, splattering his thighs and covered junk with come. It went on for a while, so long, in fact, he started to worry Zane really would wake up and catch him, but he forced himself to keep stroking, the need to cover what was his overwhelmingly intense.
The second he went flaccid, he let go of his cock and removed his multi-slate, carefully angling it beneath the blanket to avoid the flash bothering Zane. He snapped a quick photo,biting the inside of his cheek to keep back a groan, and then quickly tucked both Zane and himself away.
He needed to go before his cock recovered and he lost all control.
Pavel shifted into his bashert before stepping out of the room, just in case any of the guards spotted him as he creeped out of the Little Palace like a robber in the night.
Which, technically, he was.
Lucky him.

“Where were you last night?” Ledger lounged across the hood of his car and sipped idly at the fast food drink he’d showed up with. It was lunchtime and the two of them were meeting in the parking lot closest to the library at Vail, enjoying the rare sunny weather. “I went to your room to ask you something and you weren’t there.”
“Did you search the rest of the apartment?” Pavel asked, acting like it was no big deal.
“Yeah, dipshit, I wasted my precious time looking for a full-grown adult.” Ledger rolled his eyes. “Why aren’t you eating?”
“Not hungry.” Truthfully, he’d lost his appetite when he’d spotted Zane stepping into Wells Diar’s office that morning, despite having deleted that text last night. His hands clenched into tight fists, and he crossed his arms to prevent his brother from noticing.
“Mom says to never skip your meals.”
He sent him a snide look. “Are you going to tattle on me?”
Ledge chuckled and winked. Ever since they’d been kids, it’d been like this between them. Though they were the same age, Ledger took on the role of older brother whenever he got thechance. Almost like he’d taken it upon himself to ensure Pavel never felt out of place anywhere, especially within their family.
Speaking of…
“Madden came through and got your boyfriend a spot at school,” Pavel said. “What now?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m asking what the plan is, you know. For the future?”
Ledger shrugged. “Why does everything always need a plan? Why can’t we just carry on the way we have been and let nature take its course?”
Pavel shook his head and perused the parking lot. They weren’t the only ones who’d gotten the idea to hang outside, and the hill leading up to the library was covered in blankets and students studying and eating.
Many of whom kept glancing their way.
He sighed. This was not the attention he wanted. He wanted—
Oh.
Zane appeared at the top of the steps leading from the path to the lot, momentarily scanning the area before his eyes landed on Pavel.
That. He wanted that.
Even ifthatwas currently wearing a pissed-off expression and storming toward him like he was debating taking out one of his fancy knives and putting it to Pavel’s jugular.
“Gorgeous—” the rest of his sentence died on his tongue as he found himself shoved against the side of the car with Zane’s forearm—unsurprisingly—pressed against his throat.
“Don’t fucking gorgeous me right now, Pavel.” Zane’s eyes swept over him and he growled. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
“That’s my line.” Ledger climbed off the car but kept his distance when Pavel held up a hand to stop him. “You can’t seriously expect me to just stand here and let him attack you?”
“He’s not attacking me,” he corrected, grinning when that made Zane scowl. “We’re playing.”
