"Ciel, we're going to be late." Sebastian sighed, glancing over at the young boy comparing two outfits.
"No we're not. You can get us there in minutes, can you not?" Ciel mumbled, trying to decide between the blue suit or the red one.
"Yes." Sebastian admitted, walking over to his mate and tossing the red suit on the bed. He held the blue fabric against Ciel's bare skin, wrapping it around him delicately. "This one. It matches your eye."
Ciel let his hand flutter up to his face, covering his blind eye. "When I become a demon, will I be able to use this eye again?"
"Certainly." Sebastian assured him, removing his hand and kissing his eyelid gently. "We should hurry." He sat the boy on the bed, dressing him quickly before lifting him into his arms and leaping from the window.
"Lord Ciel, the Earl Phantomhive." The servant announced as Ciel and Sebastian entered the ballroom, arms linked as was customary for mates. Lau approached them, Ran-Mao at his side as usual.
"Ohhhh, has the Earl finally taken a mate?" Lau teased.
"What do you mean 'finally'? I'm only fourteen." Ciel scoffed. "We'll be announcing our engagement later tonight."
"Congratulations." Ran-Mao said with her usual expression, taking Ciel's hand and squeezing it.
Lau's mouth dropped open. "I was only kidding, my lord."
"I wasn't." Ciel sighed.
"Well, then, congratulations to you, master butler." Lau smiled. "You've found yourself an exquisite mate."
Sebastian shuffled forward possessively, sensing ill intentions from the man. "Yes, I'm aware. What about you, Lau? You're getting a little old to still be single, aren't you?"
Before Lau could open his mouth to retort, the music stopped and silence fell over the room.
"Your host, Lord Alois, the Earl Trancy."
The blonde smiled charismatically as he descended the golden staircase wearing a red suit, and Ciel looked to Sebastian, thanking him for choosing the blue suit. "Welcome everyone. I'm so glad all of you could be here tonight. Please, enjoy yourselves, and there will be a special announcement later in the night." The crowd applauded as Alois joined them, shaking hands and making small talk.
Sebastian inhaled sharply when he smelled it—Ciel's scent. "Ciel," He whispered. "Are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm—what's the matter with you?" Ciel raised an eyebrow when he saw Sebastian's flushed face.
"You smell so good…" Sebastian leaned into the Earl, sniffing his neck, and jolted back when the scent grew fainter. "What…"
The intoxicating smell wasn't coming from Ciel… When Ciel had been in 'heat', those weren't his pheromones. The pheromones Sebastian was drooling over were from someone else.
"Earl Phantomhive, is your butler ill?" Alois asked, approaching the pair.
Sebastian covered his mouth to suppress a moan when the scent grew stronger. "No…" He muttered when he felt his pants tighten.
Alois' eyes widened when he saw the bulge in Sebastian's pants. "Oh, dear, let me find you two a spare room. Come along."
The three hurried out of the ballroom and down several hallways until Alois pushed a door open, letting the lovers inside before entering himself and closing it behind him.
"What are you doing?" Ciel asked, turning to look at the sneering blonde. "I'd like to be alone with my mate."
"Oh, but he's not your mate." Alois laughed, striding over to the demon and exposing his neck so Sebastian could inhale his scent. "He's mine."
"He most certainly is not!" Ciel growled.
"He's bonded to my scent. You bought those pheromones from Claude and used them to trick him into knotting you, even though you have no use for a man's knot yet." Alois moaned softly as Sebastian lost control, wrapping his arms around the boy and licking his neck. "However, I'm a few years older than you… And I'm almost in heat."
"Sebastian, stop it!" Ciel barked.
Sebastian managed to remove his tongue from Alois' skin just long enough to gasp out an apology. "Ciel… I can't… It's too much, I can't resist him. I'm sorry."
"You're a bloody demon! Control yourself!" Ciel yelled.
Sebastian ignored him, and started to unbutton Alois' shirt, his jacket already thrown on the ground.
Ciel huffed angrily and tore off his eye patch, opening his eye, cursed with the mark that connected them, the mark that allowed him to control his demon. "Sebastian! I order you to stop it!"
The man immediately stood, stumbling away from Alois and back to his master's side. "Ciel, Ciel, I'm so sorry—"
"Quiet." He ordered, not taking his gaze off of Alois, who was now pouting in front of the bed. "Why did you do this? What do you want with us?"
"I just want to have a little fun, that's all." Alois grinned, shedding his shirt and beginning to unbutton his pants as he walked closer. As he stepped out of his pants, Ciel noticed he was wearing lingerie, with his silk stockings clipped to a garter above his lacy panties, and blushed furiously. "Do you like them?" Alois purred, running a hand through the younger boy's hair.
"No!" Ciel snarled, slapping his hand away.
Alois' smile faded. "Claude." The larger demon stepped out of the closet, swiftly tying a gag around Ciel's mouth and holding his arms back. "I'm going to make Sebastian suffer, and you're going to watch."
"Mmf!" Ciel tried to yell through his gag.
Alois kept his eyes on Ciel as he took Sebastian by the hair, leading him over to the bed. When met with resistance, he shoved his hand into his panties to gather some of his slick and forced it into Sebastian's mouth. That was all it took to convince the demon, and tears formed in Ciel's eyes as he watched his mate—no, his butler—kiss and lick at Alois' skin. He tried to look away, but Claude gripped his chin, making him watch as Sebastian removed the lace panties from Alois' body.
Alois laid face down on the bed so that his feet were just barely touching the floor, opening himself up enough for Sebastian to lap eagerly at the slick leaking from his hole. He could hear Alois moaning and Sebastian growling, and he cursed.
Is Sebastian really bonded to Alois' scent? Is that even how it works? I was the one he was with… He had sex with me, so shouldn't he be my mate? A million thoughts ran through Ciel's mind. Can I make him stop without a verbal command? Sebastian, can you hear me?
"Your highness, it appears the Earl has become aroused." Claude's voice tore through Ciel's concentration, and he was shocked to feel the bulge in his pants. "Shall I see to his needs?"
"Yes, please make sure he enjoys himself. After all, he is my guest." Alois pushed Sebastian's face away and waited patiently to be filled with something more than a tongue.
Ciel screamed through his gag and struggled relentlessly as Claude tore at his clothes, running his hands all over the boy's pale skin. Sebastian! Stop him, Sebastian! Ciel begged with his mind, his eyes squeezed shut as Claude molested him.
"Ciel!" Sebastian yelled. He pulled away from Alois and swiped at Claude, his long claws breaking the skin and stopping the demon long enough for Sebastian to scoop Ciel up and jump through the window.
