Saturn started laughing, shaking his head again, and through both, stated, “He asks you here because he’s wanted to fuck you since he met you and because he just likes you, stupid.”

Tedrey’s gaze darted to Faunus who continued to look savage.

Or savagely annoyed.

“You like me?” he asked.

“For fuck’s sake,” Saturn muttered, still laughing.

“I’d like to get to know you, and not just the part of you that likes watching me fuck Saturn,” Faunus answered. “Though now, I know I like fucking you, so I like that part too. That said, I wouldn’t mind learning more to see if I like that.”

“I’m but a school teacher,” Tedrey reminded him.

“So?” Faunus asked. “Basil’s a Trusted and his current chosen one crafts mosaics. I suppose they’re attractive mosaics, people pay a good deal of coin for them. But he’s not a warrior or even a school teacher.”

“But he’s got a fine arse,” Saturn muttered.

Faunus looked to the ceiling and said, “Any hole, and every hole, that’s all my brother has on his mind.”

“This is true.” Saturn was still muttering.

“I am…well, this is not the way where I come from,” Tedrey said to Faunus.

Faunus dropped his chin and scowled at Tedrey. “Go’Doan?”

“Wodell,” Tedrey shared.

“And thus, after weeks of trying to win him by showing him my skill with my cock, he gives me a morsel,” Faunus grumbled. “He hails from Wodell.”

Tedrey started to smile.

“You think this funny?” Faunus asked.

“I think you feel better inside me than you look inside him,” Tedrey answered.

Saturn hooted.

It came slow, but when he was finished, Faunus smiled a smile Tedrey felt tighten his balls.

To evade that smile, Tedrey looked to Saturn. “No offense. You take cock well.”

Saturn grinned hugely at him, reaching for some almonds. “None taken, amico. But just so you know, you do too.”

“So, you escaped the dogmatic Wodell,” Faunus remarked, regaining Tedrey’s attention so he saw him reaching for the carafe of wine to fill their glasses. “And you saw the error of your ways with the Go’Doan.”

Tedrey shot him a look.

Faunus grinned at him unrepentantly, set the carafe aside, took hold of his wineglass and brought it to his lips, but instead of sipping, he asked, “What else makes you, Teddy?”

His deep voice wrapping around Tedrey’s new pet name was almost more beautiful than hearing Nyx humming in the mornings.

“I left for Go’Doan after my father found me with a farm boy who was not as good as you with his cock, but he had almost as good a body as you.”

“Trying to make me jealous?” Faunus murmured into his wineglass, but his eyes were still on Tedrey.

“Then he beat me nearly senseless and ordered me to leave and never return. And I did as he asked,” Tedrey concluded.
