Getting back to the castle, AJ met her downstairs.

"What did you do?", he asked.

"Um", she looked at her guards for help, but they looked away.

She knew she wasn't getting any help from them. AJ was their king and lying would go against their oaths to him.

"My office, my queen", he said.

She nodded and made her way up. AJ looked at Frankie and Chris.

"I need you to keep an eye on the Colóns. Carlos was mad, and I would rather they keep a distance from Leslie for now, till I resolve the situation", AJ said.

Both men nodded and left. Kevin and Joe approached him.

"Do not let her out of your sight when out of the castle.", AJ said.

They nodded. AJ went up to his office, Leslie sat behind his desk and was on his computer.

"I got a really bad feeling from him. I think he might have helped this Bray with killing Stephanie and her girls", she said.

"Les", he said, grabbing her attentions.

"Yeah?", she asked.

"I understand what you and your sister are trying to do, but going around accusing people without proof is wrong.", AJ said.

"We have proof. Its not much, I know", she said.

"I don't want to get in your way or stop you, just be careful what you say", he said.

She nodded. Someone knocked.

"Enter", AJ said.

Chris walked in and bowed.

"Your trip is planned for this weekend", he said.

"Thank you, Chris", AJ said.

"Trip?", Leslie asked.

AJ nodded.

"To Earth 1", AJ said.

"Why there?", she asked, clicking on the information she was sending to her sister.

He cleared his throat.

"To meet your parents", he said.

She stopped and glanced at him. He wasn't looking at her and she knew why.

"Are you crazy?", she asked.

He chuckled.

"I want to get to know them on my own. Who knows, maybe they've changed.", he said.

She snorted and he laughed softly.

"I did not mean to make that noise, so unattractive", she said, blushing.

He smiled and shook his head no.

"Its adorable.", he replied.

She sighed.

"I'm just afraid that when you meet them, you'll change your mind about me.", she said softly.

He took her hand.

"You are not your parents, and I am going to prove that when we go", he said.

He leaned over and kissed her.

"Meet me in our room when you're done", he whispered against her lips.

She smiled.

"You've turned me into a horn dog. All I want, all day, is you naked and underneath me. Screaming my name for our region to hear.", he whispered.

She squeezed her thighs together.

"Don't take too long", he said, before leaving the office.

She sighed happily and finished the email to her sister and pressing send. Quickly making her way out of the room and to theirs.


Seth was moaning as Liam moved inside him, his back pressed against Liam's hard chest.

"Li", Seth moaned.

Liam was panting in his ear and it turned him on even more. His hand moving against his hard length. Liam's hand wrapped around his.

"Don't. I want you inside me when I'm done", Liam growled.

"I don't think I'll make it baby", Seth panted.

"You will, because I said so", Liam replied.

With one final hard thrust, Liam released inside him.

"Fuck", Seth shouted.

Liam kissed his neck and pulled away, turning to his side so Seth could take his turn.

Seth ran his lips over his neck, biting his skin. He wanted JoJo to see that this was his man and his alone. He was done sharing. Liam moaned as he felt Seth enter him.

"So tight", Seth whispered.

Someone knocked. Neither man was going to reply.

"Seth, sorry to bother you, but have you seen Liam. He didn't come to bed last and I didn't see him at all this morning", JoJo said.

Seth groaned and rolled his eyes.

"I'm here, Jo. I just needed to talk to", he stopped and groaned as Seth picked up his speed.

He bit the pillow to keep from screaming as Seth released inside him.

"Mine", Seth growled in his ear.

"I'll be right there Jo", Liam said, before turning on his back, Seth kissed across his chest.

"Thank you", Seth said softly.

Liam placed his hand against Seth's cheek.

"I have to go to her, but this isn't over. I love you, Seth and I'm done running", Liam said.

Seth smiled and turned his head a bit to kiss Liam's palm.

"How are you doing? I was afraid you would try to hit me while I was making love to you", Liam said.

"I knew it was you and that you would never hurt me. I trust you, Li", Seth said.

Liam kissed him before standing and getting dressed. He brushed his short messy bed hair back and all Seth could think was that it was the sexiest thing he had ever seen a man do.

"You've got me wrapped around your finger, Liam Michael Murphy", Seth said, biting his lip.

Liam smirked.

"I'll see you later. Black should be with Roman and Dean right now, stay away from him.", Liam said.

Seth nodded. Liam left and made his way down. Taking a deep breath, he hoped JoJo didn't ask too many questions. She stood, while holding a cup of coffee.

"So?", she asked.

"There was a situation last night, it involved Seth and another guard.", he said.

"I heard. Sasha and her girls were talking about it. Roman needs to get on that. Is he okay?", she said.

Liam nodded.

"Yeah. He didn't want to be alone last night.", he said.

"I wouldn't either if someone had tried to rape me. I'm glad you stayed with him. You're a good friend", she said, touching his cheek.

He stepped away from her touch and walked over to the coffee machine.

"What's going to happen to the guard?", she asked.

"Depends on Roman. Its his call, and trust me, when it comes to his family, he will raise hell.", Liam said.

That worried JoJo a bit. What would he do to her if he found out?

"Hey uce", Jimmy said, walking into the kitchen.

Liam sent the twins a nod.

"How's Seth?", Jey asked.

"Switches between calm and terrified to a sobbing mess. You don't just get over something like that", Liam said.

"Naomi and Ember want to go and check on him", Jey said.

"I think that's a good idea. Leaving him alone with his thoughts is bad.", Liam said.

The twins nodded.

"Oh by the way, I heard from Frankie, AJ's guard. Heard they were making a trip to Earth 1.", Jimmy said.

"For?", Liam asked, taking a sip of his coffee.

"To visit your folks. I know the history there and thought you would want to know", Jimmy said.

Liam clenched his jaw, grinding his teeth. Leslie knew better than to go back there without him.

"Thanks", Liam said.

"Don't be angry at her. Maybe she was going to tell you", JoJo said.

Liam rubbed his eyes.

"I have to talk to Roman about letting me go with Les. Over my dead body is she getting near those assholes", Liam said.

JoJo nodded.


"You will be removed as a guard and placed in jail on Earth 1. You will have zero contact with Seth and if I find out you tried to reach him in any form, I will have you hanged", Roman said.

Two guards approached and lifted a handcuffed Aleister, taking him out of the office. Roman sighed and leaned back in his chair.

Liam knocked and Roman nodded.

"If you came here looking for Aleister, you're too late. He's gone", Roman said.

"Damn, and I really wanted another swing at him", Liam said.

Roman chuckled.

"Hey, so Leslie and AJ are going to Earth 1 to visit my parents. I don't want her going without me. I know Lynn told you about them, so you understand", Liam said.

Roman nodded.

"When would you go?", he asked.

"This weekend. I'll leave Friday", Liam said.

Roman nodded.

"If its okay, can I take Seth? I think it would do him some good getting out of the region", Liam asked.

"Of course.", Roman said.

Liam nodded and walked out of the office. Closing the door behind him, he leaned back against it. Closing his eyes and remembering his dad's hateful eyes.


His siblings were out back when his dad had walked in on him masturbating to a magazine of naked men. He grabbed the magazine out of his hands and threw it across the room. Liam sat up and backed up.

"What the fuck are you doing? Who told you it was okay to look at those magazines?", his dad yelled.

"Dad, I", Liam didn't know what to say, this was new to him too.

Yes he found women attractive, but lately he realized that he also found men attractive. Finally finding the confidence to explore that side of him.

His dad grabbed him by the back of his neck and dragged him out to the living room. He tripped over his feet.

"What's going on?", his mom asked.

"Tell her. Tell her how her son is a fucking", his mom stopped him.

"Tobias", she said.

Liam couldn't look at her.

"He was looking at a magazine of naked men and getting off on it", his dad yelled.

He finally got the courage to look at his mom.

"Liam?", she asked.

"I'm confused, mom. I know I like women, but I", his dad had punched him.

His mom gasped and got between father and son.

"Tobias, enough", she said.

Liam could taste blood. His mom turned to him.

"You aren't confused, Liam. Someone put this in your head, one of your little friends from school. You are straight, you like women. Do you hear me? Only women", his mom said.

"Mom", he cried.

She grabbed his chin hard. Her nails digging into his skin.

"That is not allowed in this house. Its disgusting, Liam", his mom spat.

"We raised you better than that boy.", his dad said.

"You've disappointed us, Liam, but don't worry. I know of a way we can fix this, to fix you", his mom said.

"We are going to save you, Liam", his dad said.

He swallowed, afraid of what they had planned.


"Li", Seth said, setting a hand on Liam's arm.

Liam pulled away.

"Don't touch me", he snapped.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Are you okay?", Seth said.

"Just, I need some air", Liam said, rushing downstairs and out front.
