Tedrey could not imagine a randier Nyx.

“That’s just so you know where we stand,” Saturn finished.

“All right,” Tedrey muttered.

“And still, you are completely missing it, amico,” Saturn declared.

Tedrey was confused.

“Missing what?”

Saturn shook his head and looked to Faunus.

Tedrey also looked to Faunus and he nearly recoiled at the barbarous expression on his face.

“I like looking at you and I liked fucking you and I liked watching you come,” he rumbled.

“I’m, well…glad?” Tedrey asked, like Faunus could tell him how he was feeling.

“He doesn’t ask you here because he enjoys an audience, Teddy,” Saturn put in.

Teddy?

Saturn started laughing, shaking his head again, and through both, stated, “He asks you here because he’s wanted to fuck you since he met you and because he just likes you, stupid.”

Tedrey’s gaze darted to Faunus who continued to look savage.

Or savagely annoyed.

“You like me?” he asked.

“For fuck’s sake,” Saturn muttered, still laughing.

“I’d like to get to know you, and not just the part of you that likes watching me fuck Saturn,” Faunus answered. “Though now, I know I like fucking you, so I like that part too. That said, I wouldn’t mind learning more to see if I like that.”

“I’m but a school teacher,” Tedrey reminded him.

“So?” Faunus asked. “Basil’s a Trusted and his current chosen one crafts mosaics. I suppose they’re attractive mosaics, people pay a good deal of coin for them. But he’s not a warrior or even a school teacher.”

“But he’s got a fine arse,” Saturn muttered.

Faunus looked to the ceiling and said, “Any hole, and every hole, that’s all my brother has on his mind.”

“This is true.” Saturn was still muttering.

“I am…well, this is not the way where I come from,” Tedrey said to Faunus.

Faunus dropped his chin and scowled at Tedrey. “Go’Doan?”

“Wodell,” Tedrey shared.

“And thus, after weeks of trying to win him by showing him my skill with my cock, he gives me a morsel,” Faunus grumbled. “He hails from Wodell.”

Tedrey started to smile.

“You think this funny?” Faunus asked.

“I think you feel better inside me than you look inside him,” Tedrey answered.

Saturn hooted.

It came slow, but when he was finished, Faunus smiled a smile Tedrey felt tighten his balls.

To evade that smile, Tedrey looked to Saturn. “No offense. You take cock well.”

Saturn grinned hugely at him, reaching for some almonds. “None taken, amico. But just so you know, you do too.”

“So, you escaped the dogmatic Wodell,” Faunus remarked, regaining Tedrey’s attention so he saw him reaching for the carafe of wine to fill their glasses. “And you saw the error of your ways with the Go’Doan.”

Tedrey shot him a look.

Faunus grinned at him unrepentantly, set the carafe aside, took hold of his wineglass and brought it to his lips, but instead of sipping, he asked, “What else makes you, Teddy?”

His deep voice wrapping around Tedrey’s new pet name was almost more beautiful than hearing Nyx humming in the mornings.

“I left for Go’Doan after my father found me with a farm boy who was not as good as you with his cock, but he had almost as good a body as you.”

“Trying to make me jealous?” Faunus murmured into his wineglass, but his eyes were still on Tedrey.

“Then he beat me nearly senseless and ordered me to leave and never return. And I did as he asked,” Tedrey concluded.

He knew his mistake instantly for Faunus suddenly grew so immobile, he appeared made of stone, and Tedrey was too scared to glance at Saturn, for he felt the oppressiveness of the room and he knew he was the same.

None of them moved.

None of them spoke,

Until Saturn broke it.

“Faunus,” Saturn whispered when Faunus seemed incapable of breaking the hold his emotion had on him. “Faunus,” Saturn said louder.

Faunus’s voice was a sinister whisper when he said, “If I make you mine, I will find your sire and I will make him regret this betrayal of his flesh.”

If I make you mine.

“I have forgotten him,” Tedrey assured on a lie.

“Then why do you hide your body from us?” Faunus asked.

“My marks,” Tedrey explained.

“Bullshite,” Faunus spat. “It is the mark your sire made in your head.” He leaned toward Tedrey, only slightly, but the movement still held great power. “I will erase that mark, Teddy. If I am for you, or not. If you are for me, or not. That is what I will leave you. I will erase the mark he left on you and leave you free to be.”

Tedrey found he was not breathing.

Faunus’s voice dropped low. “But mark this now, bello, if you become mine, he will pay. There is no word you can say against it that I will hear. It will be my right to claim that vengeance for you. And I will claim it, make no mistake. Before this goes further between you and I, you must understand that.”

Tedrey just stared at him.
