"You're mine now, Axel. Marked and claimed, you are mine." The declaration came out guttural and ferocious; the energy behind it could be felt. Axel closed his eyes as the burn crawled up his spine and the powerful release hit him. He held his breath and realized that Kieran was holding him in a grip so tight he could feel Kieran’s heart beating, and suddenly he was coming; a flood so hot and powerful filled him. He drenched Kieran’s stomach with his own seed, both of them still and breathless, feeling the wash of power and emotion.

CHAPTER FIVE

Gio saw the man’s face, and it was terrifying. Pittsburgh was home to many, and strangeness was usually the order of the day, but this man laid hands on him and looked at him like he wanted to wipe him from this earth.

Gio hated him for that, and he hated Axel for embarrassing him and acting like he was more than the poor beggar Gio had tossed out. Gio shook off Sean’s plea to come to bed and forget about Axel, but Gio could not forget, and he would not forget what Axel put him through.

Axel was nothing, and yet he came at Gio, accosting and humiliating him, and that would not go unpunished. "It doesn't matter, Gio. Axel is jealous, and his opinions are worthless. Come to bed, baby, and let me make you feel better." Sean ran his fingers seductively down the side of Gio’s face. Gio grabbed them angrily and twisted them until Sean screamed.

“What the fuck are you doing?” Sean yelled and backed away.

"Get out, go home," Gio told him. "Get the fuck out." He said louder, and Sean quickly grabbed his coat and left the luxury apartment, slamming the door behind him. Sean had a smaller apartment in the same building on a lower floor.

Gio was boiling with rage; how dare Axel treat him like trash? His friend would not be able to save him. It was probably just a hook up anyway who’d want to be with an unemployed loser like Axel Stone. He dropped onto the sofa and pulled out his phone and sent a text to Axel.

"You're going to pay for this, Axel. You know I have the means. I'm going to destroy you." He sent the text and laid his head back on the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling. Axel would learn not to cross him, especially in public. He grew a spine after being kicked out, but Gio planned to cripple that newly found boldness sooner rather than later.

Gio was friends with the manager of the restaurant, and after a series of threats and promises, he gave Gio the name of the man seated with Axel. Kieran Lagarde, a Haddon Corp executive. The knowledge gave him pause as he tried to figure out how a nobody like Axel would know someone like Kieran Lagarde. "A hookup; it had to be a hookup. Axel was basic, but some men found him attractive.” He laughed at his own words.

He called Sean and asked him to come back. "I don't want to be alone, baby." He knew the words would bring him rushing back, and it worked. Within ten minutes, Sean came through the door and threw himself onto Gio's lap.

“I knew you didn’t mean it.” He gushed.

"I'm so tense, baby. Take care of me.” He said and began pushing Sean’s head toward his crotch.

"Did you ask me to come back just to suck you off?" Sean tried to move away, but Gio held his wrist.

"Why else?" He snapped. "You know you love it." He continued to push at Sean's head with one hand and opened his pants with the other.

"I'm staying the night; you're not throwing me out again.”

"Only if you do a good job. Make me happy, and you can stay the night." Gio finished his whiskey and then poured another glass. "Get started. I'm hard as a rock. I need those soft lips of yours to drain me dry." He chuckled and dropped his head on the back of the sofa and stared at the ceiling once again.

He enjoyed a good blow job, but he hated watching it happen. The men looked disgusting as they took his swollen cock into their mouths. If it didn’t feel so damn good, he wouldn't bother. Sean was just okay at sucking cock, but he was all that was available at this time of the night. He could take Gio’s length and girth completely down his throat and had no difficulty swallowing every drop of his cum. He also didn’t mind if Gio got a little rough.

Sean's lips started at the head and sucked hard, sending a sizzling sensation through his body. He was going too slow; Sean was always trying for romance when all Gio wanted was a fast and hard fuck. The slurping sounds were taking him out of the moment, and he slapped him on the side of the head. "Shut up." He snapped, and then he held the back of Sean's head and began a series of vicious thrusts into his mouth, forcing himself down his throat and making him choke.

“Stop acting like a bitch and take it all.” He continued to force Sean, who struggled to keep up with his violent thrusts and painful grip. Once he reached his own satisfaction, he pushed Sean away with his feet and finished his whiskey.

"Get out, go back to your place." He said, and Sean stumbled to his feet and struck out at him, but Gio dodged the blow and laughed. “That was the worst blow job of my life. Maybe hit the bars and gain a little experience before coming back.”

“You’re disgusting.”

"Your blow job was disgusting. Now get out." He threw the glass he was holding at Sean as he was walking to the door and hit him on the shoulder. The glass broke and caused a gash on his shoulder blade.

“You bastard.” He yelled.

"Get out before you bleed all over my carpet," Gio responded with a laugh. "Send your roommate Evan next time I call. Evan can suck cock like no other; he nearly turned me inside out the last time we were together."

"You are a piece of shit," Sean said slowly and clearly, and then left while Gio continued to laugh.

"Yeah, yeah, but you keep coming back, don't you?" Gio shot back as the door closed. Axel will be back too when Gio calls; they come, they always come.

The kiss was warm and tender and searching; it felt so good. Axel raised his hand and slid it along a hard jaw and threaded his fingers through the softest hair. It felt like a dream, but it wasn't; it was real, and Kieran was the man kissing him awake.

He wrapped his legs around Kieran's hips and felt the familiar hardness pressing at his entrance. "Good morning, my sweetheart." Kier groaned the words and jutted his hips, burying his hard cock deep inside Axel's body. They'd made love all night, and still the magic that flowed between them had not waned. His lips were on Axel’s neck, slow, moist kisses and hot breath titillating and exciting. Axel gradually swiveled his hips, increasing the delicious sensation filling his senses.
