I grab him and drag his mouth to mine, and he pulls away and licks the cum off my skin before kissing me again.
“Kinky fuck,” I mutter against his lips.
He chuckles as he rolls off me and flops back onto the mattress. We’re both sprawled out and coated in filth, melting into the mattress as we catch our breath.
I gesture between us. “I blame this on you. I was ready to go eat lunch like a civilized person until you flaunted that ass in my direction.”
“Oh yeah,” he snorts with a smug grin. “You ate my ass for two minutes, then came after another two.Realcivilized.”
“That was longer than four minutes,” I argue, then furrow my brow as I do the mental math and immediately regret it.
Xeni laughs as he rolls off the bed, grabbing my arm and tugging me up with him. “Come on. We need a shower, and I require a few more minutes of your time.”
I glance down and find his cock already stiffening again.
I scoff, letting him lead me toward the bathroom. “Five minutes,” I warn, trying to sound firm.
He glances over his shoulder, mischievous and absolutely breathtaking in the soft light sneaking through the curtains.
“I’ll make it three.”
Xeni and I walk into the courtyard hand-in-hand. Everyone mills about in small groups, and lunch cooks in the center. There are large bowls of pasta, sautéed vegetables, and cut fruits. The aromas make my stomach growl as I grab a plate and pile it with an embarrassing amount of food, and Xeni does the same without shame.
Curious eyes follow us as we spot Cato, Ego, and Sakane sitting at a table together, their plates in various forms of empty.
Ego leans back with a knowing grin. “There you guys are. I was beginning to think you’d become part of some sort of ritual sacrifice.”
“And yet, you stuck around,” I say as I gesture at her spotless plate.
She burps quietly and thumps her fist on her chest with a satisfied sigh. “Food takes priority sometimes. If we didn’t find you by, say… eh, tomorrow after dinner, I would’ve come looking for you.”
“After a few more meals,” I deadpan.
She grins with a nod. “Exactly.”
“Has Sovran spoken to you guys yet?” I ask, settling into a seat.
Xeni drops beside me, his thigh pressing against mine, and everyone at the table collectively shakes their heads.
“He got Xeni’s vehicle ready for us,” I say.
Cato’s brows fly high on his forehead. “How’d he manage that?”
Xeni snorts through a mouthful of food. “Honestly? We aren’t really sure, and getting a straight answer out of him is impossible. All we know is he found it—”
“How?” Cato repeats with genuine bewilderment.
Xeni smirks as he glances at me from the corner of his eye. “Someone in this camp picked me up hitchhiking when I was on my way to the city.”
“Who?” Ego asks, leaning forward with too much curiosity for my liking.
“Don’t fucking worry about it,” I snap.
Her eyes light up as they dart among the strangers. She’s a bloodhound on the hunt for drama, trying to scent fresh gossip.
Xeni breathes a laugh as he takes my hand under the table, giving it a squeeze. “No one of consequence. They knew where they’d picked me up from, so I guess Sovran convinced them to take him.”
“How’d he get it running, though?” Cato asks, still baffled, but Xeni and I both shrug.
