“When are you going to take it in that I’m fine?”

“I know you are fine. I don’t care you are fine. No man kicks my woman.”

She stilled.

He didn’t seem to notice.

“I will play beggar and I’ll teach you to pick pockets. You’re a swift learner. But we’ll find a better disguise for you as well if they feel your work and notice you before you’re able to get away. But that might be moot as we know at least the priest with these letters is part of the plot. So he will be our focus in hopes we can uncover what AM means.”

When she opened her mouth to protest, he kept speaking.

“It is decided and there will not be a discussion. Now, do you wish to fuck normal tonight, or do you want to play?”

She had wanted a discussion.

Until he offered an alternative.

“You’re giving me a choice?”

“I was, but you wasted it,” he shared, surging up, taking her with him so she was held to his front.

Fighting material, she wrapped her legs around his hips (bloody skirts on these gowns, she’d be glad to be back in her tunic), but fortunately freely winding her arms around his neck.

“Normal fucking,” he muttered as he walked them to their pallet. “Too bloody cold in this realm to play. I want you trembling, not shivering.”

Serena smiled in his face.

Right before she landed on her back with Chu on top of her.

The Wrongs

Tedrey

Private Play Suite, Carmine Rooms, Heden District, Fire City

FIRENZE

Tedrey lounged, and watched, with a side view (the best there was) as Faunus took Saturn on his hands and knees.

Tedrey’s shaft was so hard, it was aching, but whenever they invited him to the Carmine Rooms, all he did was watch.

Later, in his chamber at home, with his groan muffled by a pillow, he’d see to himself.

But all he could do for the now was enjoy watching.

They did not disappoint as Faunus reached out, clutched Saturn’s hair and yanked his head back.

The ferocious look on Faunus’s face.

The look of pain and pleasure on Saturn’s.

Tedrey shifted on his cushions.

Faunus’s eyes turned to him.

Tedrey bit his lip.

Faunus pulled out to Saturn’s delicious grunt, and then he let his hair go in order to smack his arse.

“Go suckle him,” he ordered.

Saturn turned his head to Tedrey and his expression remained hungry even as he grinned.

“No,” Tedrey said.

“You are hard, I can see,” Faunus noted, taking his feet as Saturn crawled in a predatory way toward Tedrey.

He wanted to watch Saturn move.

But, by the gods, the man standing was beautiful.

He particularly liked his scattering of chest hair.

His long, muscular legs.

And his enormous cock.

“I just wish to watch,” Tedrey said.

“You gulped down my seed greedily enough those many weeks ago,” Saturn noted as he came closer. He finished, saying, “The only time you took my cock.”
