For disclaimers, look back to chapter 1.
Cast Away
He swayed slightly. It seemed more comforting, looking at the tall white taper of candles lighting the sconces along the walls of this hallway. Then he saw the lord once more, this time without his hat. He reached out to brush the apparition away, and made contact with solid muscle. This was all very unsettling… he stumbled backwards.
"Seeing me… yet again?" It was almost a purr. Garline was feeling a bit too disoriented to answer. All he wanted was some support, he could not think properly.
"My father…" Visions of embracing Larva flashed into his mind, and he closed his eyes. Beads of sweat had broken out on his forehead. The wavering sturdy walls made him slightly sick.
"Has been told you've gone home to sleep, all tired out… but we know better, don't we?"
The tone had gone even sweeter. The figure had not moved. Flashback of Lord Kai pinning him to the ground, sultry whispering in his ear… A shudder ran through Garline's body before he could suppress it. Fingering the lock of hair tucked into his belt, the fleeting smile was that of a great cat with cornered prey. The dark lord knew he had been right all along.
Eyes opened, but they had darkened to cloudy violet. Garline felt as if he was having a fever. It was time for Kai to put the finishing touches with a spell.
"Wh..What do… you… want?"
The silver buckles on the dark chocolate shoes did not move; Garline felt as if he would fall if he did so. So confused…
Kai Descantor took one step closer. "That's not the issue at hand. The real question is: What. Do. You. Want?" One arm stretched out to the side, exposing a silver shirt beneath the cloak. And a teasing outline of the detail beneath it. Cool intensity bore into his eyes, entrapping him within their gaze. The Serpent Sage was shrinking the memories of Larva, and expanding the ones of him. It would hold until the potion wore off.
A hand tipped with sharp, clear nails was extended to him, palm-up in open invitation. Softness laced with anticipation became husky. "Come to me. I will quench the fires raging through your body. Your torment will end, if you give in to me. Now." It was the presence of one who demanded compliance. and would brook no defiance. Garline did not have the strength to resist this time.
One step, two… then the hand was closing around his wrist, yanking him closer. The other arm folded the cloak about him as he collapsed against a sturdy chest, brushing his burgundy ponytail. Cool lips were pressed to his feverish ones, then a tongue parted his lips to touch his own. It elicited a reaction, and their tongues snaked around one another, thrusting back and forth.
Kai could feel the last vestiges of resistance crumble away in this virgin boy, the rising fires in the innocent body causing a response in his own loins.
He could not even remember his name, even as he clung to the dark lord who was ravishing his mouth with his own. He could feel his own arousal pressed against the other as the grip on him loosened. For one dizzying moment, he felt his feet leave the ground, then realised he was being carried.
Kai looked down at the youth in his arms, the eyelids opening for a second to reveal roiling tumultuous purple, before closing once more. A slight smile crossed his face as the head drooped further in his arms. Striding down the corridor and up the stairs and hastening to his own private chambers, he scarcely felt the weight of the young man.
In his satisfaction that all things were going his way, he did not hear the slight whisper that fell from Garline's lips, as he made one last attempt in reaching out to the one he held most dear. "Larva…" Then the spell and potion overwhelmed him into darkness.
He did not know how he had gotten himself into this situation. One moment he was thanking the girl for hiding him in her room as she closed the door, the next minute he found himself flat on the bed. The sudden impact of her body knocked the breath from his lungs. "You misunderstand, I don't-"
"Oh no, I didn't, sweetheart. I did say there was a price to pay for hiding you, didn't I?" Valeria bent down and licked his ear. She began to push the straps of her blouse off her shoulders, baring her modest bosom in the process. Larva was at a loss for words, as she pressed her lips aggressively against his.
Even as his lips parted in initial response to her forwardness, he felt a strange prickly feeling shoot through his body. It rendered him immobile and it brought him back to himself. Garline. Garline had called for him. Something was happening to him. He knew, even if he didn't know how he was so certain. He had to go.
The knowledge gave him renewed strength. With one vigorous shove, he heaved the girl off his body as he pulled himself up, sending her tumbling off the bed to land painfully on the floor. As she started cursing him, he hastily drew some money out of his pocket, dropped it on the bed and shot out the door that he'd shattered into splinters.
As he tore through the bordello to the top floor, ignoring the people throwing themselves out of his way, ice-blue eyes blazed with a fierceness and resolve that frightened all who saw them. He had to find Garline. Before it was too late. Crashing past the doors to the rooftop, he launched himself into the night.

Whew. If you're remotely homophobic (which surprises me that you even got this far) or don't like guy-on-guy action (somewhat NCS), turn back now. Otherwise, should your constitution be made of stronger mettle, then proceed ahead but don't say I didn't warn you. Will have to do quite a bit of censoring, due to the new restrictions on this website.
