I Do Not Own Vampire Knight!
A/N At Bottom
Let's GO!
Chapter Twenty
Darkest Depths
"Shattered ribs and a collapsed lung," Miki murmured. "The substance in the weapons they used caused slow healing, or rather it negates our vampiracy. In other words-"
"It almost killed me." Kaname's tone was cold and distant, furious in the extreme.
A hesitation and then, "Yes, your Grace. I had to re-inflate that lung, however with the blood that your mate provided that was soon taken care of."
The next words were strained, coarse with tension, "Zero fed me?"
"Everyday milord."
Zero flinched as the mental ire increased. Feelings of protectiveness and massive vexation.
He scowled fiercely, throwing on comfortable lounge pants made of cotton. He paused to look at his reflection as he donned his shirt. The curve of his belly was smooth and taut, cupped by the elastic waist. HIs eyes were drawn to it even as he hastily pulled a bright, white shirt over his gleaming silver head. He proceeded to study the clothes in the wardrobe, having no desire to present himself before his husband this soon. Instead he listened to the quiet murmur of his voice. The cadence, the throaty rasp of it covered the deep wound of his heart like a temporary honey compress. It sent joy riding through him. His mate was alive. But try as he might he still couldn't let that eclipse every thing that'd happened thus far. He was truly happy that his mate was conscious, however in the deep of him, pain burned in a steady fire. It was a bitter hurt. He couldn't stop loving his husband. In turn he couldn't forget the reckless breach of his life. The conflict, pushed aside while Kaname conferred with Death, now ripped deep. And he surely wasn't ready to really confront Kaname on the subject. There would surely be enough time for that confrontation later, after Miki had declared that Kaname's bill of health was good.
"Your Grace!" Miki's sharp cry of surprise belied any notion that he would have any peace. "You shouldn't be si-"
"Amaya."
That smooth, deep voice flayed him, as the bond throbbed deep. The flex of his husband's will surprised him, considering the man had just awakened from a week long coma. However his will was steel and silk, wrapping around Zero like the plush prison his marriage was. He sighed, deep and shuddering before he stepped out to meet his spouse. He shivered as his husband's eyes honed in on him , penetrating. Slicing, roving over his swollen body. He was sitting up, having thrown the covers back, legs over the side of the bed. He was hunched over slightly, palms flat on the bed. Even so, Zero could see the jagged scar that curved into his torso. It drew his eyes away from the dire graveyard that was Kaname's gaze.
Cold enveloped him as he realized how close he'd come to really losing his husband. He shivered, his eyes captivated by the scar. Miki eyed him with concern as he moved into the room fully, deliberately baring himself to Kaname. He wasn't going to hide any longer. His husband would just come to him. Force the issue like always did. He waved a seemingly casual hand.
"It will be fine Miki, I will take care of it. I'll introduce you properly later."
Her eyes touched on him, compassionate within the storm that raged around the room, before she took a hasty leave. Kaname's gaze followed, noting her very slight hesitation. He chuckled bitterly into the silence of the room.
"Do they all think I'm going to hurt you?" He asked finally.
"Do you think the notion far-fetched?" Zero countered, meeting his husband's look squarely.
Kaname looked taken aback. "Carrying my children is hurting you?"
Zero unconsciously crossed his arms over his chest. "Not physically, but emotionally yeah." He stopped, curbing the spout of venom that wanted to erupt. "But everyone is worried about you." He stepped closer to the bed his physical mentality out-warring his mental master. He wanted to take care of and coddle his mate. Even though he was the main source of his calamity at the moment.
"You must be a disoriented. "The woman who just left is Hairi Miki. My Chief physician and your lifesaver.
As if his feet had gained life, he floated closer and closer to the bed. His mate's pain was calling to him. "How are you feeling?"
"Disoriented, like you said," Kaname chuckled ruefully. "I regret that having my children is such a hardship for you." The sarcasm showcased his anger like 'The Price Is Right'.
"Really?" Zero was almost right on top of the bed. "You knocked me up with multiples against my wishes and you still want to get angry about me being angry? Miki says that the only way to get them out is through surgery. So not only do I have to endure the physical changes of a pregnancy I didn't want, but now I have to endure the repercussions that come along with it and you have the nerve to ask if it is a hardship!"
Kaname grimaced as the words rained down around him like quarters thrown from atop the Empire State Building. His head hurt, his side hurt, and he was pretty sure it was best that he lay back down by the way the world swayed slightly. But he hadn't touched his one and only for days and though he'd moved closer, Zero was still too far away. His hands itched and he knew the only cure rested in getting his Amaya under his palms. Hell, under him.
He tried to be gentle, but the deep, black blaze of his gaze caused Zero to stiffen and he couldn't quite tamp down the steel of his tone.
"Come here."
Zero growled as his feet moved without his express permission. He looked fit to kill. Kaname watched him glide the remaining paces that separated them. He seemed even more graceful, hips swaying with the added weight of his round bump. Glowing and plump, he looked good enough to eat, the sweet smell he emitted saturated the room. His hair had grown so that it brushed his shoulders. The amethyst of his eyes flared as he approached.
At that moment Kaname wished he could stand up, that he could just pull his errant mate into his arms. As it was, all he could do was spread his legs and allow Zero to walk between them. Even though his mate looked positively murderous he didn't struggle against the hold as he wrapped him in his arms. Kaname sighed deeply as Zero settled against him, a slight shiver wracking his frame with the contact. Warmth spread through him as their bond pulled tight, as if reaffirming that he belonged to him.
Zero trembled again as bonds flared in his mind's eye, etching inside him deep and visceral.
Chains
In the depths of his soul, they curved a path of concrete and iron. Unbreakable chains of steel anchoring him here. To this man. His very heart and body. Everything that was he was, was tied to this man.
Kaname growled as his husband's feelings blasted between them. His arms tightened until they were pressed flush and his fingers brushed over delicate skin stretched tight over his children. He buried his face in Zero's throat enjoying the way his breath moved through his body. And though his mate's thoughts were dark, satisfaction streamed from him. He had a mate and healthy children on the way. His life was complete.
His aura whipped around his mate as if it were impatient with the wait of touching him. And Zero's own answered, curving beneath it so that they blended.
"I told you. Hate me, but do so by my side," He murmured against soft, silky skin, the sinful smell of a very pregnant Zero going to his head. "I couldn't bear it if you were to leave me. I need you. I need our children." He kissed harder as Zero began to tremble steadily in his grip. "What would I be without you? A beast in human form."
The vision swept them so suddenly that Zero couldn't even vie for escape if he wanted to.
Blood and gore decorated the floors of the great hall, Kaname standing among the carcasses. Only a few living still stood before him. There was Seiren, Ichijou, Aidou, Ichiru, Aaron, and Kain. They stood against him in a last stand, as he'd already killed any who'd ever graced this hall.
Grinning madly, Kaname's regard flicked down to his bleeding claws then back up to the motley crue that faced him.
"Well then I'll take all of you with me when I go to hell."
Zero blinked reality back into his life on Kaname's strike but he was certain that his husband had attacked Seiren,Ichijou,Aaron,Kain or Aidou first knowing they were the strongest. After that it would be like child's play, the rest falling one after another like a strike.
He gasped, air sobbing out of his lungs.
No bunny rabbit type of love for sure. His mate was obsessive about him. His love was the equivalent to a noose. But then wasn't everyone's? His love was slightly threatening, the possibility that he would go psycho at any moment real as rain on midnight.
"Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say I hate you this time. I'm very angry with you though. I don't know if I can forgive you," Zero snapped trying to keep his voice harsh. "Would you keep me by your side even then?"
"Are you going to slit my throat in my sleep?" Kaname asked, knowing damn well he wasn't
"Fucker!" Zero swore back. "You make light of the situation."
Kaname seemed to swell in size, filling the room to the rafters. "Yet, you will not leave.
He was right in that. How could he. He was in love with the archaic behemoth. Tied to him for an eternity.
Memories of Kaname loving him, teasing him, seducing him, laughing with him, laying amongst the thorns of his garden, casually pricking his finger on the blades of his roses as he offered sustenance assailed him. His husband sitting across from him at the breakfast table as they bantered before their day got started.
They were insidious, treacherous, these thoughts. They softened him even more, so where he would have bitched, he wrapped his arms around his mate and clung tight as Kaname's aura pushed against the walls of their bower, straining to override the walls that held it. He felt the walls of their sanctuary creak, as his will was tested. He groaned, as it gave way. His heart beat thundered as the heat roared through him. He was powerless as Kaname began to kiss down his throat, murmuring against the soft skin, calming, frightening platitudes.
"I can't live without you," Kiss, "I live to see you live," Kiss, "Would you make me kill everyone?" Kiss.
Zero hung in the beast's grasp, overwhelmed, even as relief rushed over him.
He hadn't even known he was that stressed with Kaname's absence.
The conflicting emotions were alarming. He as so angry at his husband he'd deigned to leave his side. But faced with the reality of life without his mate, he wondered how long he would have survived. That was no longer an option now. The spell itself had never been intended for permanent separation. A brief respite at best from your mate. And now as he was inundated with his King's scent, his aura, the throbbing of his bonds threading through his blood like molten steel, he felt a permanence he never thought he'd feel after the death of his parents and the loss of his brother. Obsessive and territorial, Kaname had wrapped him in so many chains. Freedom was a pretty slight of hand, there one moment and the next gone, like the early morning mist burned off by sunlight.
Frustrated with this late realization, he tried to push out of Kaname's arms and found himself truly chained. Kaname simply refused to let go. There was a brief struggle as he pushed against Kaname's grip, surprised once again when he held firm.
Trepidation touched him, a light, cold sensation along his spine. He acknowledged his weakness. It was Kaname. The heat of him, the care and passion that he bestowed on him. The feeling of never being alone. The fact that he was only one side of the coin. No perfect, sing in the woods type of love, but something hard and strong, a tidal wave like the lava that'd swept over Vesuvius, crashing into his life and sweeping everything away before it. Pounded away the hubris. And now his mate had added to it, the two silver threads sturdy and robust as they bound his soul.
An unbidden warmth crept through him next. Their children were strong. Healthy. They thrived inside of him even as he halfway denied their existence.
Because of his husband.
The man that was pressing his warm, soft lips against his shoulder, letting satin slide against silk as they quested down his arm, meandering over the wrist he now held in his hand, nudging the diamond band aside.
Zero pulled himself out of his mental soliloquy as he felt the sharp nip of fang. His head came up even as Kaname's hold became, if possible, even tighter. His husband's mind yawned vast and dark before him. He jerked, trying to pull his wrist out of the grip of Kaname's fingers. Kaname shook his head, crooning against the thin skin in an attempt to keep him calm.
But Zero only felt distress as Kaname's intent broadcast through his mind.
"Kaname! Don't-"
"Be quiet," Kaname snapped, his voice hard and quiet. "No more running. No more 'vacations' from me. I told you that you would no longer know what the word separated means. I meant it."
Even if he couldn't see the madness in Kaname's eyes, it was there he was certain. There was something different about his mate. Subtle, yes, but also more feral. He tugged harder on his wrist and Kaname clamped down, aura becoming aggressive where it rubbed against his. His body responded as it always did in conjunction to his mate. He softened, half laying on Kaname. His mate accepted his weight, fingers stroking over his stomach gently.
There was no pain in his bite this time, the fangs feeling smaller as the slid into him as gentle as a surgeon's fingers during a delicate operation. Sweet flames coursed down his veins in a wave of sensual lassitude and all of his marks were alight, his body ablaze with heat. He let out and exclamation of dismay, pushing weakly against his mate. Kaname murmured soothingly in reply, the pleasure at the taste of his blood swamping their bond.
He let Kaname shift them onto the bed, limp before the tender bliss.
What did you do this time? He whispered, though the answer was there for the taking.
You won't be able to leave me ever again, Kaname answered back,
I couldn't before, Zero rebutted. What's so different now?
You'll see, Kaname chortled. A large, broad palm swept over his face and his eyes closed. Rest now. You'll feel better when you wake up.
Better than this? Zero questioned with a lightness he felt on the outside but not the inside. He was tired, but a good tired like after a good workout. I don't feel like-
Shhhh….Be still. This is good. This is as it should be.
I hate it when you get cryptic!
Zero frowned. He could feel Kaname deeper than ever. As if he'd burrowed inside him and stretched to fill his own form. He felt full, like he'd eaten a large, satisfying meal. Full of Kaname. On the distant horizon of reality, he felt a frisson of alarm stab at the cloud of aphrodisia that enveloped him. He rotated his wrist experimentally. The small punctures ached pleasantly.
Kaname what in the hell did you do?
Nothing sinister I assure you, Kaname purred and he was aware that his mate was rolling them until they were on their sides, Kaname cuddled in close behind him. His arm kept Zero sheltered in the alcove of his body, his back absorbing Kaname's warmth. Their legs tangled as they settled into a familiar pose of repose.
You marked me again you bastard!
Anger couldn't intrude on this moment, he found, his relaxation at an all time high, but it was there lurking just on the edge of his field of elysium.
Kaname sighed audibly. It was instinct.
What?
Zero dredged his eyelids open, then regretted it as the room swung in his vision. He promptly closed them again.
I told you to rest, Kaname scolded affectionately. His arms tightened, securing him when there was no need. We'll sort it out when you wake up.
Zero wanted to protest, but the he felt the push and the need to let himself slip into oblivion shadowed every other need.
TD
Seiren eyed Miki suspiciously. "He woke up?"
She, Kaien and Toga were standing before the plump healer. They'd been ready to patrol when they'd felt Kaname's aura saturate the house. Now she was taken with wanting to see and confirm.
"Yes, and he and Zero are having a private conversation. I'm sure he will speak to you all when he is ready."
"Well, I'm ready now."
Seiren moved passed Miki, their shoulders brushing slightly. The older woman reached out and caught her hand.
"I don't think that's a good idea right now. Do you not feel it?"
Seiren glared, her mouth open to deliver a sharp retort when her gaze tangled with Kaien's. She flushed hot red. She tore her eyes away and focused. It wasn't as heavy as it had been a week ago, but Kaname's aura was dangerous. It warned everyone away, the seductive darkness paramount. She blushed harder and turned away, changing her direction abruptly.
"I'm going hunting! Maybe he'll be ready when I get back."
Miki's gaze was sympathetic. "I doubt it. Maybe tomorrow."
She opened her mouth to protest and Kaien stepped in front of her, so close that they were almost touching. His body language spoke of impatience.
"Is it really necessary? You're been 'hunting' for the last five days."
And ignoring us.
It went unspoken, but felt.
Seiren drew as shaky breath as desire made itself known with her mate's close presence. She tensed, anticipating that he would touch her. She'd been avoiding them for the last five days, patrolling into the midnight hours of dawn hours, collapsing into sleep when she returned so that she wouldn't have to deal.
She'd resisted bonding them thus far, always believing that Kaname was her priority. She'd been genetically modified to be his companion, to protect and serve him.
And she'd failed.
Her charge was laying in a room and recovering, while she occupied herself with two men who were not yet her mates. She was thinking that wasn't an option for her. She was needed elsewhere.
She saw the muscles in Kaien's jaw compress with force as he caught her errant thoughts, and she was tempted to step back. But she would not be intimidated.
"I'll hunt every night until I catch Kaname's assailants." She almost took that step back again as aggression roiled off Kaien like a storm.
He looked back at Miki. "How long before Kaname let's Zero out of that room?"
To her credit, Miki didn't blush. "That I can't say. Kaname is reacting to the danger his mate is in, and with the added stress of his pregnancy I can't say that Kaname won't lock him up. I doubt a solution will present itself. The only way to get through to him is to make sure Zero is safe."
"And I doubt that is happening anytime soon," Kaien responded and Seiren almost trembled at the force of his tone. Kaien pretended to be mild mannered, but she knew from experience that it was indeed all an act. The memory of his possessive tendencies etched themselves in her mind.
"Seiren."
She jerked.
She hadn't forgotten Toga was in the room, but she'd always taken him as the lesser of the two evils. Now, as she felt his presence join Kaien's she wasn't so sure. She knew suddenly they'd been hiding it from her.
She did step back then to glare at the both of them.
"I don't have time for this. The longer I hesitate, the more danger Kaname is in."
"It is no longer your place to make him the top priority in your life. You have us. And we will mate you sooner rather than later. He is no longer first in your life," Kaien scolded, though his voice wasn't harsh. "That is Zero's responsibility now."
His eyes shifted to the stairwell briefly and then back to her. "We can no longer allow you to deny the bond because of him."
She drew back slightly, the movement almost unnoticed. They'd never indicated that they cared before. But looking into Kaien's eyes she could tell he was disturbed. They knew that Kaname was her first priority.
"I'm leaving," She muttered trying to move around Kaien. She stuttered in surprise as Kaien's hand cinched around her arm.
"Do you think that's the best idea?" His voice was mild but his eyes burned into her, the unspoken question as clear as the spoken.
"I'm going to find out who did this," she spat, shaking his hand from her arm. He let her, she knew that, but she felt safe in the fact that he was one of her mates and he knew her.
She as halfway to the door when Toga's voice stopped her.
"Be careful Seiren, that you put your most important priorities first."
What in the hell was that supposed to mean? Kaname was her most important priority. She continued to move towards the door.
"Believe me I won't."
She didn't offer any parting glances as she walked out the front door, miffed at being kept from her lord.
"Just in the hell do they think they are?"
"I imagine the ones who love you."
She whirled around, her head ringing with alarms. Aaron leaned against one of the pillars of the house, his pale color and vibrant hair muted by the darkness. The hilts of his swords glinted, keeping her focused on his location. She made a rude sound.
"Did you see that?"
Aaron shrugged. "Among other things." He pushed away from the pillar.
"Did you see the birth of the twins also?" She shot out, not expecting an answer to her sarcastic question.
When he hesitated, the last puzzle fell into place. "You did," she breathed incredulously. "You saw them and that pushed Kaname to do what he did."
Suddenly she was in his face, her head upturned to meet his gaze. He looked back at her serenely, open to the visual assault. "You don't know what you've done. You made things between them worse!"
Aaron took in her words with no outward reaction. But she could see the guilt in is his eyes. "I don't know if Zero will ever be able to forgive him for this." She turned away. " I hope that you are ready for the aftermath of that."
She didn't give him time to answer. There was no need for one. He knew she was right. She knew she was right. His quiet words followed her nevertheless.
"There is no running away now, Seiren. That ceased to be an option long ago. Watch out for the shadows."
She kept walking.
Shadows?
They'd never given her pause.
She was a part of them. They couldn't hurt her.
She waved an ignorant hand towards the man behind her. "I will, betrayer."
If he gave any outward reaction, she didn't see it.
She embraced the shadows. As she roved the night, her eyes sharp on anything that seemed out of the ordinary. She was looking for the dead ends. The streets that were steeped in darkness. It was too quiet, the streets strangely devoid of night life. She slid through the shadows as if she were one. It wasn't until she was further west that she felt the anomaly.
The taint of the air around her.
Sh spun in a slow abbreviated circle, trying to keep her eyes on the night surrounding her. She was conscious of the fact that if she took one misstep it would be endgame.
"Come out!"
She stood at the center. Her arms at her sides now. If they'd wanted to attack, they would have already. "Are you such cowards you continue to hide? Frightened of one?"
She circled, the night shadows swirling around her. She breathed it all in. "Cowards." She could feel the eyes on her. She'd felt them all week.
"And you're saying this when we felled your king?"
She turned and froze in shock.
She was taller than any woman had a right to be, her svelte form encased in a skin tight black suit. It outlined the jut of her hips and her generous bosom. She was beautiful, her face cut and carved by lines of bronze, her lustrous jet black hair pulled back to emphasize the beauty. Her black eyes were taciturn, stern in her stunning face.
Seiren felt the the force of her displeasure push through the night as her mouth imitated a smile.
"Finally."
The raven haired woman answered with fake smile of her own. "You've been waiting?"
"Don't fuck with me," Seiren volleyed, "You tried to kill My King."
"He deserved it," the mysterious woman answered. "He should keep his promises."
'I'll keep one," Seiren promised her face serene, eyes like granite.
The woman smiled back, amused. "Ahhhh, so you really are his bodyguard."
The smiled dropped from her face. "It is no matter. You can fall with your King. Tell your King we're coming, for he and his mate."
"Ummm…Yeah. Was there a purpose for this 'visit'?"
"To warn you. To take stock of what we're up against."
"I don't think that's going to make a difference."
Both she and the mysterious stranger stiffened at the deep voice, coming from over Seiren's shoulder. She recognized it immediately and resisted the urge to turn and look at her mate.
"I don't need help."
"So in this instance it doesn't matter."
"Reinforcements." The woman growled "How….cowardly."
Seiren scowled. "The only coward here is you. Hiding in the shadows and such." She gestured, hands out, beckoning with fingers stiff in invitation. "If you want my King come and get him."
"How boring and predictable."
Black lines began to striate her face, shadowy lines dissecting the strong lines. "Tell your king…"
Seiren looked on as the shadows spread and the woman became insubstantial. Her anger spread along with them.
"….We're coming for he and his mate."
She lunged then, blade in her at the ready. She sliced through the incorporeal, laughter ringing through the night. Her own frustration was like scent in the air. She growled as the face faded like a daydream.
Her aggravation was evident when she turned to face Kaien. His hair swayed around his hips, the hilt of his sword jutting over his shoulder. He looked fit to kill. "Why are you here?"
Kaien's eyes narrowed at the edges. "Keeping you alive?"
Seiren's response rang through her body and Kaien's mouth thinned. "Watch what you say."
She shivered as she had done in the mystery woman's presence. Kaien's voice was hard. Pissed. The aura pouring off of him combative. She suddenly had the urge to run away like a naughty child. Only she and Toga ever saw him this way, a piece of the true him that he'd let them view. She was fast putting the puzzle together, having spent so much accruing time with him. She knew now was not a time to go against him.
"You're right," she sighed. "I'm just going to search another area. I'll be home soon."
"Right now."
She gasped as Kaien's shoulder connected with her stomach as she was tossed over it. She hadn't even seen him move!
"You can't keep running from us. This last week you've been scurrying around to keep from facing us. But we're going to resolve this tonight."
"Let me go!" She hissed, "I'm not you possession to swing around as you please."
"Oh? Weren't you the one who came to us? Weren't you the one who surrendered yourself? Didn't you tell us that we could have anything we wished of you?"
She blushed fiercely, her face like a hot storm.
She had gone to them, tantalized by the glimpse of power she'd witnessed, and offered herself up to the temptation. And they'd been waiting. Apparently she hadn't been that circumspect in her desire. They'd agreed quicker that she'd prepared for,taking her that night before she'd had the chance to get her bearings. They hadn't let her go since then properly seducing and binding her in them.
To the detriment of Kaname's well being.
"Do you realize how thrilling it was to have the 'cool beauty' kneeling at our feet? And now you just want to walk away?"
His feelings on the matter were clear by his heavy tread and the screaming esoteric atmosphere that streamed around them. " I"m betting your King won't be emerging from that room anytime soon. I can guarantee that by that time you'll have bonded us. You can't get away Seiren." Kaien murmured. "Now hold on."
Heated, liquid desire gushed to cover the lips that guarded her secret cove as Kaien moved, as fast as a true vampire. His hand held her firmly, fingers digging into her hip. It was heady to know that she couldn't get away. That she wasn't stronger than this human vampire hunter.
Kaien chuckled as he smelled her need in the air. "Escape? Impossible."
TD
Kaname rose lithe and powerful over his sleeping mate, eyes flickering between black and red. He felt complete, the small amount of blood he'd taken from Zero's vital point revitalizing. Having pushed his hell cat into a deep sleep, he unleashed the restraints he had on his presence. His aura swept the room, dark and sensuous, oppressive as it spread throughout their room and seeped into their mansion. Zero squirmed, moaning where it pressed around him stroking, petting, sliding over his long, silver limbs. He moaned along as the feelings stroked him from the inside out. As if he were the actual recipient. The smiled that glittered across his face wasn't nice as his gaze touched on the longer silver hair, the flushed cheeks and red lips. The small round globe of his belly distracting him. His beast purred loudly inside, their satisfaction so deep one could find submarines in their depths.
And he'd almost lost them.
And just like that, the thick rage was back.
He would make them pay. But first.
He slipped from the bed untangling from his only reason for living like he was approaching death's door. He cast an intense look down, hand dipping briefly to pass over soft skin, caressing his children before he moved to his closet, feeling stronger and sleeker as he stepped into the walk-in and to the back to procure the necessary preparations. He moved gracefully, Zero's contentment soothing him somewhat, turning the bloodlust into something softer but no less lethal. His anger had turned into a more productive direction.
He was absolutely silent as he went about his ministrations, his touch as gentle as dew. His hunger grew as he worked, brushing occasional kisses against gossamer skin. Zero squirmed the entire time, the effects of the new bite escalating with each touch, heightening the sensations for them both.
His little mate was going to wake soon.
And then he was going to devour him.
He sat back on his haunches to wait, reading the movement of Zero's body.
Soon.
And when he woke all he was going to hear for the next three days was going to be his night rain, crying and begging for him. To be next to him all of his days.
Yeah that was a good length of time.
"Kaname?"
Zero's voice was breathy with sleep, soft and confused. It sent unimaginable delight up his cock. "Why can't I see?" Kaname sat straight up his control gone, the reins snapped.
"Kaname?" His voice was a little sharper now as he tried to move, pulling against his restraints. "Let go!" He didn't get far in his struggles. The cuffs were made of steel encased in the most supple leather and lined in the softest mink. Zero gasped as the fur brushed against his sensitive skin. Kaname gritted his teeth as he forced himself to approach slowly.
Zero was spread wide, completely open to him. cuffed at the four corners of his body, knees tilted slightly. his hair fanned our against the pale sheets and it made his skin glow. The black blindfold was a stark contrast and it only made him even more luminous. The curve of his belly was on full display, tempting his hands. He couldn't resist the urge, smoothing a lone finger over the firm bump.
"Ahhn!"
"Tch!"
It wasn't a feedback of pleasure, it bloomed inside of them with just that simple touch. Awed by the trembling, golden bliss, Kaname slid over him, stroking skin over skin until he was completely covering Zero. His silverette flinched, his chest heaving and he tried to curb his voice.
"Kaname!" Zero turned his head sharply, trying to avoid the sinuous rush. A gentle hand trenched in his hair coaxing his mouth into a deep kiss.
Kaname felt the shuddering start of surrender as he slid in, tasting the candied flavor of his mate. He lapped at the delicate tongue, forcing Zero's mouth wider with intricate haste, enjoying the muffled groan that assaulted his ears. His mate was hedonism incarnate as he writhed under him, too sensitive, the intrusive feelings almost too much.
Kaname pulled back watching Zero breath hard. He stayed silent as his better half tried to regain his mental capacity.
What are you trying to accomplish Kaname? This won't solve the problem.
You won't ever be able to leave me. Kaname's mental voice was almost a full laugh. That last bite bound us more completely that any before it.
But why? Why do this?
You have no more roads, Zero. No more avenues of escape. Not even temporarily.
This won't change my feelings.
Something hot and sharp stabbed into him as hurt began to flood the bond, displacing the contented lust. He pushed it down ruthlessly as his hands slid under Zero, lifting him to his hungry mouth.
Allow me to demonstrate.

Omg! I'm sorry for the long wait! I lost some one very dear to me right after I updated the last chapter of TD and I've found it very hard to motivate myself. Thank you! Thank you! To every one that reviewed and favorited. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you will enjoy the next chapter!
…..UNTIL NEXT TIME…(Hopefully it won't be as long!)
