Two months later

After that, Cain promised that he wouldn't hide anything else from Zero. Zero was patient with Cain, thinking about what Alyssa said about his situation, but it wasn't long after they got back to the tower that Cain shared his encounters with Zero. It pained Zero to know that Cain had gone through them alone, but he knew that he wouldn't have to go through it again alone. The Sorceress hadn't called for Cain, or made any late night visit since then. Zero was hoping that maybe she had taking pity on Cain, or even gotten bored of the man. Cain was happy that he didn't have to perform his extra duties.

Then about a month after their last encounter, the Queen was found. The Sorceress was on cloud nine after her mother was put under arrest, saying that the resistance would soon be no more, now that the Queen was out of the picture. But for some reason, they felt her joy had to do more with the Queen's adviser, Ambrose, for she spend days interrogating him, for what purpose, Cain and Zero had no clue, at least for the moment. But after it became evident that he was not going to share the information that he carried within his brain, she had it removed.

And then after that, it seemed that she had almost forgotten about the two of them, which they both where quite happy about. They did the missions that were assigned to them, and spent every second they could with Alyssa, happy as could be. She was getting so plump and cute. Zero always teased her on how she walked, after she started to carry all that extra weight. They knew she had a few more weeks but they were all ready for the new baby. They had gotten their room set up, crib and all.

They got through with one of their missions, a simple intelligence gathering mission. They started to make their way up to relay their information to the sorceress, as they waited outside her office, Zero leaned into Cain, whispering into his ear.

"When I get you back to our room, I'm going to fuck your brains out," Zero said hotly into Cain's ear. Cain smiled at that.

"Promise?" Zero laughed at that

"Promise." He said with a smirk before they where usher into the Sorceress's room. They relayed the information that they had gathered to the Sorceress. When they were done, a smile was spread across her face.

"You both have done well today. I'm very proud of my boys," she said with a purr. "Everyone here is dismissed." She said. Cain and Zero both nodded before turning to leave when she spoke again. "Except for Major Cain, I would like to speak with him alone."

Zero saw Cain stiffen at that. They both knew what she was wanting. Zero watched as her adviser as well as Vy-Sor left the room, but Zero, just looked at Cain, not moving from his spot.

"You are dismissed, Major Zero," the sorceress said as she turned her gaze to Cain. Cain just nodded to Zero.

"I'll be home when I can. Go ahead and pick up Jeb." Cain said softly. But instead of leaving like Cain thought he would, Zero just turned, walking back up to the sorceress.

"No, Sorceress. I'm not leaving," Zero said, standing right in front of her. She just stared at him, annoyed.

"Well if you want to watch, that's your choice," she said, moving past him. He quickly reached out, grabbing her arm, roughly.

"No, you don't understand. I'm not leaving, and you're not going to touch him." She just turned to look at him a wicked little smile on her lips.

"And what gives you the right to tell me what I can and can't do?" She purred out. He lowered his voice, so that only she could here.

"You're killing him. Destroying him and I can't allow that to continue." She just laughed at that.

"I'm only destroying the unimportant parts of him. So why should I care?" Zero let his anger get the better of him as he shoved her hard up against her desk.

"Adrian!" Zero heard Cain say behind him, but he wasn't listening as he stare directly into her eyes, anger burning within them.

"I care, and right now, you don't want to fuck with me!" Zero seethed out. At that, her hand went to stroke his cheek.

"Mmm, maybe I picked the wrong boy to play with. I can see you being more fun. How about that? Let's send old Wyatt home and lets us have some fun."

"I don't think so." Zero said before pushing her against the desk again, before turning and walking away. The Sorceress just stared at him in shock for a second. "Come on, Wyatt, lets go home." Zero said, grabbing a hold of Cain's arm, pulling him towards the door. Then the door shut in front of them.

"And where do you think you two are going? I didn't say that one of you could leave." Zero turned on his heels and started to yell.

"Just let us go, we don't want to be here, and I'm not going to let you harm him again," Zero said angrily.

"Adrian, please just stop, you're making it worse." He heard Cain say to him.

"Are you making demands now?" the Sorceress said. "How dare you! It looks like I'm going to have to teach you a lesson." With a wave of her hand Zero felt himself being pinned to the wall, unable to move. He tried to struggle which only made the Sorceress smile more. Zero looked across the room, and saw that Cain was also pinned. She just stood in between them, looking from Cain and then to Zero.

"Mmm choices. On one side..." She said looking at Cain. "I have a sure thing. But on the other…." She turned to Zero then. "I have that unknown passion to explore." She just smiled wider as she started to walk towards Cain. She could see Zero struggle at this from the corner of her eye.

She walked up to Cain and flashed him a devilish smile before she waved her hand again, which unfastened his coat. She pulled it open, purring softly. Her delicate hands went to the top of his undershirt, before ripping it open, exposing his chest to her.

"Stay away from him!" Zero yelled out. She laughed again.

"And why should I?" She said, racking her nails softly over the skin of his chest. She turned to look at Zero when she dug the nails into his flesh, causing Cain to yelp in pain. Zero could see the blood slowly running down his chest.

"Leave him alone!!" Zero screamed. At that the Sorceress snapped her fingers. Zero felt the force pinning him to the wall lift.

"Make me." she said as her fingers trailed over Cain's wounds, causing him to wince. Zero was across the room, and pinned her up against the wall, next to Cain.

"Harder love, that's just not doing it for me." She said with a laugh.

"Let him go!" Zero said.

"No." He just shoved her harder.

"Mmm, getting better."

"Let him go and I will do whatever you want me to do," Zero said, as she looked at him, seductively.

"Adrian, no, I can..." The sorceress snapped her fingers and Cain's voice died in his throat.

"Hush, pet, we are talking. Now that's what I wanted in the first place, but since you had to piss me off, no deal." Zero was about to protest before she spoke again. "He stays, but if you're a good boy, I'll leave him out of this." Zero looked at Cain sadly. He could tell Cain was pleading for him to say no. Zero turned back to look directly into her eyes.

"Fine. But I have one condition."

"I don't think you're in a position to be making any demands, love." She said. Zero just ignored her.

"From now on you come to me, and only me. Wyatt is no longer apart of this twisted little game you are playing." She just smiled at that.

"Aww look at you, playing the mighty hero. But all this depends on how you perform. If you can satisfy me, then I might think about it." Zero moved in to whisper hotly in her ear.

"It's not a matter of if I will satisfy you, it's only a matter of how much and how hard. So what do you want, do you want me to hit you, pull your hair, fuck you so hard you can't stand. You like pain inflicted on you don't you?" She moaned out at that, giving him his answer, he smirked at that, liking the feeling of power over her. He enjoyed being her personal favorite, but he was enjoying this much more.

"You like to be dominated over, even if it's just for an hour, and who wouldn't in your shoes, having to take so much on, rule over a country with an iron fist."

"I'm hearing a lot of talking but not much action." Zero just chuckled at that before grabbing her by the back of her neck, pulling her away from the wall. As he pushed her away, he quickly locked eyes with Cain, mouthing 'I'm sorry' before pushing her away from him. he stood in the middle of the room, and surveyed it.

"So, Azzy. So many choices on where I'm going to fuck you, the floor, walls, couch." He then smirked again. "But I know your personal favorite." He said before moving her to the desk before throwing her on top of it roughly. Azkadellia just laughed that that action.

"I guess he didn't keep anything from you. Did he tell you how he fucked me?" Her smile widened. "And how much he enjoyed it, just like I can tell you are. You two are just alike, having so much brutality within you, and I'm happy to bring that out in you two. A ruler is always willing to help her men reach their full potential." Zero was starting to lose his calm at her words. She actually thought she was helping them with this little game of hers. He could see why Cain was having trouble with this. He moved over to her, leaning over her, before he placed a hand over her mouth.

"If I were you, I would keep that fucking mouth of yours shut, before I shut it for you," Zero seethed out. This just caused her to get more excited, and he could tell. Then her eyes gleamed with mischief before she snapped her fingers. At first he couldn't tell what she did, but then when he heard Cain's voice, pleading for him to stop, that he would rather it be him, he just glared at her, hotly.

"Put the silencing spell back up, Sorceress." He said as he moved his hand away from her mouth.

"Oh but don't you want to hear your lovers pleads for mercy as you fuck me. Hear his voice, calling out for you to stop, as you take me. I know I do," She said giving him a predatory look. "Besides, I did say this was a punishment for disobeying me, I can't let you have too much fun." Zero listened to her, disgust growing within him. He could hear Cain still pleading, despite trying to block it out, which caused the rage to boil within him. And then he just snapped. He looked directly at the Sorceress as he spoke.

"Wyatt, just shut up!" he yelled angrily. He glared down at her before turning his head to look at Cain's shocked eyes. "This would go so much smoother without that pretty little mouth of yours moving." Zero said with more cruelty the he would have liked, but it got the desired effect. Cain silenced himself.

"You're no fun." The Sorceress said with a pout.

"I beg to differ, Azzy. I think I'm going to be a lot of fun," Zero said before shoving her to the desk as hard as he would allow himself as he moved to stand between her legs. He heard a wince and almost felt sorry until she spoke.

"Don't call me that!" She said.

"Azzy? Why not, I'm about to fuck you after all."

"Use my name or my title. Pet names are for lovers and we are far from that, Zero." Azkadellia seethed.

"Fine, Sorceress." He said before pulling hard at her dress, causing it to rip. She just smiled at that. He quickly made short work of the dress, leaving her beneath him, laying on the desk, naked.

He went to the fastenings of his coat, undoing them with practiced ease. He pulled the coat off, letting it fall to the floor. She reached her hands up, moving to the button of his jeans. He quickly grabbed them, pinning her arms to the desk.

"Tisk Tisk. I thought this was my show, Azzy." She glared at him, like he knew she would.

"You're moving too slow," She hissed out.

"It's called patience, and it only makes the prize that much sweeter," he purred out.

"I don't want it to be sweet, I want it to be rough," she said, as she grinded her hips against his.

"Patience, Azzy, it will be, just let me have my fun first," he said before he grasped a hold of one of her breast, before pinching at the nipple roughly. She purred at that. He moved down, capturing the other nipple in his mouth before biting at it. She winced but as he licked the teeth marks, she started to purr again. He smiled up at her before he stood up in front of the desk, pulling her tell her legs hung off the desk. She looked up at his with s sexy smile as he went to the button of his pants, slowly removing them as she watched.

"Mmm now that is what I'm talking about," she said lustfully. She moved to wrap her legs around his hips, pulling him closer to her. "So how does it feel, to have your lover watch you, as you are about to fuck me?"

"It doesn't bother me at all," Zero said, face as calm as he could make it. It of course bothered him a great deal, but he wasn't going to show her that. He moved to position himself, before pushing within her folds, hard and deep. She let out a cry of pleasure. He just smiled at her, as he began to move within her hard and slow. She began to whimper at that.

"Faster, now, this isn't love making, I want you to fuck me!" She screamed out in frustration, that she was not getting her way, wrapping her legs tighter around his waist. He grunted, being force deeper into her. He moved his hands to her legs, forcing them to loosen.

"That's not going to get me to hurry up, Azzy." He said with a smirk.

"Shut up with that..." and at that, he moved his hand to her center, rubbing his thumb over her clit, which caused her to moan out.

"You liked that didn't you?" he said, thrusting hard into her again as he rubbed his thumb roughly over the sensitive bundle of nerves.

"Fuck you!" she yelled, pushing back hard against him. He just smirked again at that.

"And I thought it was me fucking you," he said, thrusting brutally hard. Zero hated to be brutal to his lovers. He was the type to want to take it sweet and slow, but the thing with the Sorceress, is that she was not one of his lovers. There was not love in his action, they was only raw need, hers, so primal, so selfish that she dragged them into it to satisfy it. It angered Zero, which only had him push him harder. It wasn't long before he felt her tighten around him, crying out. He trusted a few more times before releasing himself within her.

He stood there for a moment, coming down from his high. He looked down at the Sorceress, who was just smiling up at him, a smile that gave him a shiver down his spine. He stumbled back, not wanting to be near her anymore. He did his job, and all he wanted to do was just leave this place. She sat up, staring at him, giving him a look that read 'you're mine, deal with it.'

"You two may leave now." Zero just nodded as he went to put on his pants quickly before grabbing his coat. He walked up to Cain, who had a not so happy look on his face. Zero went to take his hand with in his own, but Cain just pulled away angrily, and walked out the door.

"Zero." He heard her say as he took a step towards the door. He turned to look at her. "We're going to have to do this again," she said, with a predatory smile. He just nodded before leaving, chasing after Cain.

When Zero finally caught up to Cain, he grabbed his arm, to stop him. Cain just shook off Zero's arm before turning to face him.

"Keep your hands off me," Cain seethed.

"I know you're angry but..."

"Angry is an understatement at the moment," Cain said before he continued to walk.

"Where are you going?" Zero said, once Cain took a certain corner.

"To get my son," Cain said angrily.

"Wait, hold on there," Zero grabbed at Cain's arm again, stopping him. "You can't pick up Jeb like this, let's get you back to the room, calm you down, talk about this." Cain just glared at him for a moment, before turning around, heading towards their room. Zero just followed him.

Cain entered the room first, followed by Zero. As soon as the door was shut, Zero felt the fist hit his face, knocking him to the ground. He tasted the familiar copper taste in his mouth and just stared up at Cain, shocked. He looked into those angry eyes, so hauntingly familiar. Zero wanted to cower, to almost cry at that look that brought back memories he hadn't thought about in a long time.

"Why the fuck did you do that! Now she's going to get her claws into you too. You know how long I've protected you from her, and here you go, just walking right in there, and handed yourself to her. And do you know how hard that was to watch, you just fucked everything up," Cain just screamed out. He wanted Zero to yell back, to scream at him. Cain wanted the fight, something to focus this rage on. He took one look at Zero and he could see the tears in his eyes, and the lost look. He was terrified. That confused Cain, he hadn't seen him terrified like this since....

Cain's eyes went wide. How stupid could he have been? All he could see was his anger, his rage, and it only made things worse. He stared into those terrified eyes for a moment, eyes that he could tell, where not seeing him at the moment. Cain felt his anger melt away at that. He knelt beside Zero, placing a hand on Zero's shoulder, and he flinched before turning to look at Cain, snapping himself out of it. That flinch hurt more than anything the Sorceress had ever done to him, for he knew he was the cause of it.

Cain saw the anger enter Zero's face, and could have stopped the punch if he wanted to, but he just took it at the moment, causing him to fall back, away from Zero.

"Don't you ever fucking hit me again," he said, tears within those eyes of his. Cain just looked at him, before nodding.

"I.... there is nothing I can say, except I'm sorry. I promise it will never happen again." Anger flashed again within Zero, he just stared directly at Cain.

"You don't have to promise, because if you ever do that to me again, I will not be here long enough for you to regret it." Cain could tell that Zero was deadly serious at that as Zero got up, and walked into the bathroom. Cain just sat there on the floor, in shock at his words.

After a moment, Cain got to his feet, following Zero into the bathroom. He saw him looking in the mirror, accessing the damage, the damage that Cain had caused. Cain just walked up behind Zero, wrapping his arms around his middle, pulling Zero's back into his chest.

"Please, don't ever leave me, love. I'm not sure if can handle it." He could hear Zero sigh before relaxing into Cain's loving embrace.

"Then stop trying to do everything on your own. You said you where trying to protect me from her, but here I was watching her kill parts of you. How did you expect me to handle that?" Zero said, turning to face Cain. "At least this way we can share the responsibility. That is what partners do; they help each other out in a time of need."

"I just didn't want to see you get hurt."

"And I just wanted to protect you from getting hurt more." Zero said before moving to kiss Cain softly on the lips.

"I love you," Cain said once their lips parted.

"I love you, too," Zero said, bright smile on his lips before pulling Cain into another kiss.
