“Yes, and the man I love, who loves me, and owns my cock, not incidentally, indeed, who owns my entire body, will not be invited to these rituals. Thus, it would be an infidelity unless you give me permission. And I will tell you right now, unless I am watching someone play with you, Teddy, or participating along with it, it will not happen.”

Teddy was stunned.

“You…you want my…permission to be a Trusted?”

Faunus shook his head. “I don’t want it. I must have it for you are mine and I am yours and that is the way of the Firenz.”

It was?

He didn’t ask that.

He asked, “And if I say no, you would not do it?”

“If you said no, I could not do it.”

Teddy was no less stunned.

“And you would…that would…you would be all right with that?”

Faunus shook his head, but said, “I would wish to understand what is in you that does not trust me to go through the ritual understanding I am yours alone and am doing something I will enjoy physically but will mean little outside what it is supposed to build between me and my brothers. And after it is done, it will be done. But if there is something within you that cannot abide this without it coming between us, it is something I will come to terms with.”

“I would not…ever…keep from you something you desire to have,” Teddy whispered fiercely.

Faunus did not respond.

That wasn’t true.

He did.

Or two parts of him did.

His eyes, which were burning into Teddy.

And his cock, which was stiffening.

“Do you love me?” Faunus finally whispered in return.

“Yes.”

“When did you fall in love with me?”

“It began when you kissed me after you fucked Saturn that first time at Lorenz and Nyx’s.”

Faunus’s face grew soft and his hand went to his cock to stroke.

“I am sorry, mio amore, but it took me longer,” he replied gently. “I liked you very much and wanted more from you. But I knew it would go much deeper when you annoyed me greatly by demanding to put your life at risk to become a spy.”

“Don’t be sorry, I wasn’t worthy of your love until then.”

“You are wrong, but we will not discuss it in the now for you need to come to me and kiss me, then you need to suckle me, Teddy,” Faunus growled.

Teddy did not delay.

He crawled into bed and did just that.

And their avowals of love were not sealed by making love, as Faunus had been doing to him since he saved Teddy and his women.

No.

It was rough and wild and domineering.

And when Faunus pulled Teddy up to his knees after Teddy had been taking his cock on all fours, and he seized his shaft and was stroking it savagely, Teddy would know why.

“Is this mine?” he demanded on a tug.

“Yes,” Teddy breathed, riding the big cock up his arse.

“Is this yours?” Faunus asked, ramming up inside him.

“Yes,” Teddy groaned.

“Yes,” Faunus whispered, fucking him and milking him and fucking him and milking him until his lover, his love forced him to gush his seed up his chest right before he took Faunus’s up his arse.

They were both breathing heavily, Teddy’s head back on Faunus’s shoulder, Faunus claiming him by filling him as well as at his cock and with an arm about his upper chest, his breaths whispering in Teddy’s ear.

“You are mine,” he said softly.

“And you are mine,” Teddy returned.

“Yes, I am. But you are mine.”

Teddy started to turn his head but stopped to grunt when Faunus pulsed up his arse.

“You are mine,” he growled.

“Yes,’ Teddy confirmed.

“That means we detour, bello.”

He was not following.

“What?”

Suddenly, he was down, on his stomach, with Faunus still in him, and covering him.

And his mouth was still at Teddy’s ear.

“We’re going to visit your father.”

Oh.

Shite.

The Escape

Jellan

Road Between Cyrus and Sky Bay

AIREN

Jellan was likely the only man on Triton who was pleased Airen was engaged in a civil war.

And in that moment, he was the only man perhaps in history who was pleased to be set upon by highwaymen.

He had not, since his decision to escape, found an opportunity to do that.

Until, hopefully now, as moonlight lit their path and the mount that Marian and Daemon were atop, bearing both their weight, had trouble racing away from the highwaymen chasing them.

Thus, once they caught them, Jellan felt he could get away.

In the fracas, he would magick a cloak about him so they could not see him, and he would ride off.

Maybe they would think his horse panicked, took flight, and he was lost.

Or perhaps they’d know he escaped.

Though, as he would be gone, it wouldn’t matter what they thought.

But in case it didn’t work, he had to make it look good.

It was late at night, they were in the middle of nowhere, nothing about them but fields and forest.

He had told them the last town they rode through, miles back, they should stop at the inn.
