Triangle of Kisses

Chapter 6

When Gohan and Vegeta arrived back to their home the porch light was on giving it a warm glow. They touched down on to the cold grass. "It's cool." Gohan felt a shiver travel through him causing goose bumps to appear. He didn't know whether it was just him but his temperature was all over the place today. Most of the time he was feeling hot. He hoped he wasn't coming down with something. Vegeta didn't say a word the whole way home. The teen looked over at his love. He was wondering if he had done something wrong to upset the man. "Let's get inside, it's cold." He said as he rubbing his arms.

The proud prince followed his mate inside as the lights flickered on sending the room into a feeling of warmth that said home. Vegeta closed the door behind him. The teen turned to his older lover. "I'll make some thing hot to drink." Gohan frowned feeling uneasy about how quiet and serious his mate was being. Normally, in the comfort of their own home, he would be his contented, demanding self.

"Okay" Vegeta followed him to the brightly lit kitchen. The prince leaned against the doorframe. He watched his love place two large mugs down on the bench in front of him and open a large container and spoon the contents into the mugs as the night sky shone through the window next to him. Gohan looked over at him sending him a smile that reached his eyes before returning back to warming the milk on the stove.

The prince pushed off the frame and moved over to the boy. "Koi" He whispered as his lips brushing his neck. A smile slipped over the boy's face as he watched the milk start to warm.

"Geta, can't you wait." He purred as Vegeta's powerful arms wrapped around him from behind bringing the boy hard up against him allowing his hands to roam freely under the boy's t-shirt kneading and padding the skin. "Hmmm." He whimpered. His eyes were now closed as his head lolled back under the erotic touches his mate was sending him as moist lips captured the boys in feverish passion. The milk left forgot as it foamed and spilt.

"I want you." Vegeta panted as his lips release silk pinks. Dark ink pools scanned his young lover's willingness. The prince smiled, never shifting his sight from his love. He stretched out and removed the burning milk from the stove.

"Come then." The prince whispered. Gohan followed his prince up to their room turning the lights off as they went. Warm bodies embraced as the youth found himself been pressed against the wall of the hall. Clothes filtered their way on to the plush carpet leaving a trail that paved its way towards the massive bed where the last of the garments met the floor. The mattress shifted with the weight as two lovers came together in a dance of passionate thirst exploring each other sending the same message in their feverous moans, a mantra, a song of love.

Their need was strong. A powerful dance that turned into a blaze of fire, a loud moan, a grunt, a powerful cry that alerted the heavens of their song ending with a primal howl that echoed the words claimed, ownership, mine. Then stillness as two heated bodies entwined listening to their own heart and soul beat as one. The two lovers were unaware of the dangerous shadows that threaten to pull them apart.

Dark pools snapped open, a warning growl, a protective arm brought his sleeping lover in closer as a wash of uneasiness swept over the prince. A shadow watched from the midnight cool breeze let a low growl slip before departing. He will be mine. You'll see.

In the morning the two stayed nestled listening to the storm raging outside from the warmth of the bed. "I should get up." Gohan whispered not really wanting to leave the warmth of his lover's arms.

"Why?" The prince cooed as his looked up at the boy with his elbow supporting him.

"I'm going back out to see Goten today." Gohan sat up and looked back at his mate with a smile.

"Is that all?" Vegeta dark questionable eyes locked with the boy's.

"What's that supposed to mean?" The teen frowned.

The prince lifted his hand up and raked his fingers over the boy's thick locks. "The other brat will be there."

"Yes I know. So?" Gohan tilted his head frowning at his mate even though he liked it when Vegeta would tease his hair like that.

"So I'm coming too." Vegeta stated as stopped what he was doing.

"But…"

"No buts about it. I don't trust him. He knows you are my mate yet he persists on trying to steal you away from me. That is a crime punishable by death by Saiyan law. And you're my mate, so he should be killed... twice." Vegeta growled out with Gohan cuddling back up to him placing his dark raven hair on his koi's chest.

"Geta…"

"Brat I don't want you going back there, not without me." Vegeta argued.

"Maybe if I talk to him he will understand and…." Gohan went to finish only to have his mate snap back.

"NO! I forbid you to see him!"

"That's going to be difficult he sits with me in most of my classes." Gohan said raising his head to look at his frowning koi.

"Then I will go to the school and get you seated somewhere else or I'll just ki blast the whole damn school and you won't have to worry about going back." Vegeta liked that idea a lot better. He had been wanting to do that for a long time now.

"No! You can't do that. No I'll talk to him... and no buts! Everything will be fine." Gohan said in his serious tone cuddling back down into Vegeta.

Vegeta growled. He wasn't happy with the boy's decision. Gohan knew this and started to ease his mate by sending soft kisses over his lover chest snaking his way over tight muscles with a calming and arousing purr along the way. Vegeta was warming to his lover's touch when he noticed that same scent as last night that had him on fire. "Brat."

"Hmmm" Gohan purred not really listening, as he planted more feather kisses down Vegeta's well toned torso reaching his lovers hips. Vegeta eyes slid closed as he succumbed to the boy's erotic touches.

"Forget it."

Sometime after breakfast Gohan was getting ready to call Vegeta in from him morning training in his newly repaired gravity room when a hot wave washed over him sending him into a dizzy spell. He sunk to the floor and his breathing came fast and hard. He fought the fire that threatened to engulf his skin. "What's happing to me?" He felt like his skin would blister any time now. It soon became too much and he collapsed completely to the floor. He could just hear his lover's voice boom from across the room. "GOHAN!"

Vegeta rushed over to the boy. "Kami you're burning up." The prince quickly picked the boy up in his powerful arms and took him back upstairs the whole time breathing that scent in again. He couldn't help but feel a tug in his pants with that alluring musk scent. A worried frown, then realization.

"Damn it the boy is going into heat." This couldn't have come at worse time the prince thought as his mind battled the powerful urges it was receiving from breathing in the sexual scent that the boy Saiyanjin's hormones were sending out.

Control Raced through his mind in a chant. He stripped the boy's clothes from him and went to the bathroom where he turned the taps on full force allowing water to flood the bath while he went back for the boy. "Come Koi this will help." He picked the boy up and walked back into the bathroom where he placed the boy down in the cool of the bath allowing the water to lap around his lover's burning skin in an attempt to calm his fever.

He knew this would be a temporary fix for the boy who was going into his first rut. As he tended to his young mate Vegeta breathed in that arousing scent, something about it was telling him there was more to this than the boy first rut.

That's when it came to him. The prince cursed himself for not picking up on this sooner Gohan was the submissive one in their relationship so he would be the kyariaa. It was rare but not unnatural for his kind the Saiyanjin race. It was their natural way they kept the population up when there were no females around.

The boy was coming into season. Vegeta would find the whole thing amusing if it wasn't so serious. The boy will be scared shitless if he knew he could for pregnant and Mirai was wanting to contest his claim. If Gohan did fall pregnant to Mirai he will have lost his rights. He didn't protect the boy so in Saiyan law he loses all rights to his claim and Mirai would have all rights as the baby would be his. Vegeta shook his head as a dangerous growl surfaced. He would not let that happen. The boy was his. He will claim him when the boy is ready. He will carry their child and no-one else's.

Gohan shifted. He felt trapped with the touch of the bed sheet over him as it aggravated his naked skin. His lids fluttered open. With hazed vision he looked up to see Vegeta at his side with a cool coth in his hand. With a groan. "What? Where?"

"Shh boy you've come into heat." The prince wiped away the beads of sweat trailing their way down the boy's face.

"I feel too hot. I can't take this Koi." Gohan whimpered trying to get up. His whole body felt like it was on fire.

"Gohan, stay I'm going to see the onna about getting something to help you with your fever." Vegeta said pushing the boy back as he went to get up.

"Don't leave me!" Gohan grabbed at his wrist in an attempt to keep Vegeta from leaving him.

"Boy, you're in your first stages. You will keep burning until your body adapts to the new changes. After that your Saiyan instincts will take over completely. Only then can you be satisfied with what your body craves for." Vegeta tried to calm the boy. He didn't want to frighten him. Not when he was like this.

"Craves for? New changes? Vegeta you're scaring me." The teen frowned worried.

"Shh I will explain later. Now I have to go. I'll be back as quick as I can." The prince purred.

"Don't go! Just ring her. She will come here." Gohan pleaded. He was feeling nervous and scared. He had never felt like this before.

"I would but the blasted phone is dead. I promise Koi, I'll be right back as soon as I get what we need from the onna." Vegeta growled not wanting to leave him all alone.

"But Geta…"

Vegeta leaned over and kissed him softly on his koi's forehead and traced his fingers over the boy's soft cheeks. "Shh just drink plenty of water and stay here."

Gohan watched his mate walk out of their room wishing he would stay. Turning his head back he looked out the window at the raging storm bellowing outside. "Don't leave me."
