Zero had been expecting it, but it still rankled his pride to turn in Kuran's arms and sink to his knees. Kuran had changed into a robe too at some point, so it was easy to undo the belt and reach inside whilst he deliberately avoided eye contact.

Kuran's cock – not something he'd spent much time thinking about – was the same as a human's, thank god. He'd forgotten Kuran was technically a different species right up until he knelt. It was on the larger side, but nothing monstrous and Zero had plenty of practice, so was able to swallow it down without embarrassing himself.

Instantly he felt Kuran's hands on either side of his head, gripping his hair tightly and guiding his movements.

"I should have known there was only one way to shut you up," Kuran said. Zero rolled his eyes even as he pulled off to lick and pump with a closed fist.

"You're really getting a kick out of me being here aren't you, Kuran? Wouldn't know you'd had to pay for it."

"So much," Kuran agreed pleasantly, tugging Zero's hair to make him get back to it. "And you might as well call me Kaname. Night knows you're the only one disrespectful enough to sass me."

"Kaname," Zero gave him fake-sultry eyes and made his voice all breathy and husky.

Kaname shivered and Zero grinned a wide, shark-toothed grin. He liked knowing that he could affect the almighty pureblood. The tug on his hair grew sharper, and he went back to swallowing.

It was not quick. Kaname had some serious stamina it seemed, and after the first twenty minutes, Zero had to really put his back into it. His knees were aching, his jaw throbbed, and all he wanted was for Kaname to fucking come already so that Zero could stand up.

He was starting to feel that his skills were inadequate, and he hated that Kaname could make him feel that way, even about something like this. He tried deep throating again, his gag reflex had been worn down months ago, and swallowed gently around Kaname's cock, humming around it. Kaname definitely liked that; he thrust his hips forward violently, choking Zero.

The bastard liked that too. He did it again the instant Zero'd recovered from the first one.

"Really Zero," the pureblood said as mild as milk, "I thought you'd be better at this by now."

Coughing painfully, Zero narrowed his eyes; he wanted to play it that way? Fine. Zero might be playing whore for Kaname fucking Kuran, but at least Zero could make Kaname crave it.

Zero locked gaze with Kaname and very slowly bent even lower, placing a kiss to Kaname's foot. Oh yeah, Kaname liked that. His eyes flared red. Zero made his way up slowly, pressing gentle, submissive, kisses all the way back up to the twitching cock right in front of his face.

Zero looked up at Kaname from demurely lowered eyes.

"Am I not pleasing you, Master?"

Kaname snapped, and Zero was cackling with amusement even as he was thrown through the air to land with a thump on the bed, breath whooshing out from him in a gasp. Kaname leapt on him in a second, thighs locked around Zero's chest, and as Zero tried to get air, a cock was shoved down his throat.

"I wish I had bitten you Zero," Kaname moaned above him as he brutally fucked Zero's mouth, only pulling out for the pleasure of forcing his way back in. His balls slapped against Zero's chin. "You'd have been the perfect pet." Zero started to thrash as he realised he was actually suffocating. "Oh yeah, just like that."

Kaname groaned, head thrown back and back arcing then Zero's mouth was flooded with semen. Heart racing, Zero forced himself to be still and conserve oxygen as Kaname pulsed inside him, seed coating his tongue thickly again and again until Kaname was spent.

When he finally pulled out entirely, inconsiderate bastard, Zero managed one gasp through his mouth, choking on a full mouthful, before Kaname's hand slapped over his lips.

Zero's eyes clearly conveyed his thoughts: What the fuck?

Kaname's eyes burned darkly in reply.

"Swallow."

Glaring, Zero swallowed Kuran's essence down as he breathed desperately through his nose. It wasn't the worst he'd ever tasted, but sperm never tasted pleasant and anyone who said otherwise was lying. If Kaname hadn't forced the issue he would definitely have spat it out. Kaname probably knew that too. Bastard.

When it was done, Kaname smiled, pleased and smug to the core, and rolled off Zero's chest.

"Well done," he praised, hand stroking Zero's head.

"Fuck off, I'm not actually your pet you know."

"I know," Kaname said mournfully.

"My god you're fucked in the head," Zero told him flatly. Kaname just grinned, and rolled Zero under him, lips descending.

Kaname kissed like he was trying to steal Zero's soul, tongue twirling into Zero's mouth, tasting the remnants of his own seed and clearly liking finding it there. He ruled Zero's mouth until Zero broke away, gasping for breath yet again.

"You have a strangulation kink don't you? Well not happening, buddy, find someone more desperate."

Kaname looked startled, and then amused. He buried his head into Zero's neck and his back heaved. It shocked Zero for a moment, thinking he was crying – but then he heard the giggles. That was even more unnerving.

Kaname Kuran did not giggle.

"You are such a weirdo," Zero said, feeling fond for a strange moment, hand coming up to stroke Kaname's hair. Why not? He'd always wondered what it felt like, and now he could find out.

"Ah Zero," Kaname said coming up for air, smirking, although there was a mad glint in his eyes that said he wasn't quite finished being dangerously amused, "You have no idea what you do to me."

"I've got an idea," Zero said, huffing as he deliberately arched his hips up to prove a point. Kaname's erection had reappeared and was nudging against his stomach. Fucking purebloods and their fucking healing abilities.

"Mmmm," Kaname agreed, but Zero could tell all of his attention was focused on his neck, where his head still rested.

Zero didn't need to be a Hunter, to know Kaname's eyes were blazing red.

"Not. Happening." Zero said, cool and dispassionate. Hunter training was useful there at least. He knew how vampire-thinking went and how best to cut it off at the source. Showing fear was the exact wrong move, showing any emotion at all could entice. The best method to defeat bloodlust was apathy.

"Just curious," Kaname lied, licking a stripe from collarbone to ear. Zero squirmed uncomfortably – which at least distracted Kaname from his neck for a moment. "Are you sure you won't let me? It'll feel good, I promise."

Zero rolled Kaname off of him, irritated since he knew he only could because Kaname let him, and scrambled off the bed.

"No means no. If you can't respect that, I'm gone, and you aren't getting a discount."

Kaname's eyes were most definitely red; they burned even as he held his hands up in mock surrender. "I won't bite. Not unless you ask," he grumbled, flopping down onto the mess of sheets. "Now come back here, I want to fuck you. Although, for the record, how would you feel about a small cut from a knife? I'd lick your blood up, no fangs involved."

Zero sighed. "Still no, and fuck no. I'm not stupid enough to let a leech into my head."

"Not even for ten thousand?"

Kaname wasn't joking Zero knew that. Even so, he wasn't tempted in the slightest. There were limits.

"Nope," he said, smiling as he watched his answer frustrate Kuran.

Considering that Kaname could catch him if he ran, could hold him down if he struggled, and that really the only thing stopping him from biting was his own sense of morality, it was way too much fun to rile him.

Zero didn't get enough fun lately, and his smile was genuine.

"Fifty thousand?"

"No."

"A luxury car?"

"No."

"A house, anywhere in the world."

"No."

Shadows started gathering around the bed, summoned by Kaname's bad mood. It made his eyes the only fire in their darkness. As a hunter, Zero knew that the best time to run would have been an hour ago. As Zero, rent boy, he was just amused that he could irritate Kaname to this point, although there was a healthy dash of fear in there, because he was a Hunter in blood.

Grinning, Zero sashayed back over to the bed, unashamed by his nakedness and the erection bobbing over his stomach. Given Kaname's obvious mood, it was no surprise when pale hands lashed out of the artificial shadows and dragged him inside their veil.

Kaname shoved him flat on the sheets, which Zero noted for the first time felt beautiful against his skin, and proceeded to blow Zero's mind.
