Two

Roy’s breath was uneven. His body burned, his fingers twitching against the wooden chair as he stared at Adrian—at what was being done to him.

Adrian knelt on the grand table, bare, his golden skin glowing under the flickering candlelight. His wrists were pinned behind his back by a single pale hand—inhumanly strong—while the stranger, their host, loomed behind him like a dark specter.

He was barely touching Adrian, just tracing his spine, his ribs, his hips, but it was enough. Adrian trembled, his lips parted, his chest heaving.

And his eyes—they never left Roy.

Roy's throat was dry. He shouldn’t want this.

But he did.

The stranger turned his gaze on Roy, eyes dark as an endless abyss. “You made your choice, didn’t you?” he murmured.

Roy gritted his teeth. He had.

He had chosen to watch.

But now he ached.

Adrian moaned as the stranger’s fingers dipped lower, teasing, taunting. Roy saw the way Adrian’s body shuddered, saw the way his lips formed his name—a silent, pleading whisper.

Something inside him snapped.

“I changed my mind,” Roy rasped.

The stranger chuckled. “Too late.”

Roy stood so fast the chair scraped against the floor. “No.” His pulse pounded, his voice hoarse. His eyes locked onto Adrian’s. “I won’t just watch.”

Adrian’s breath caught.

For a moment, the world held its breath.

Then the stranger smirked—and with one sharp tug, pulled Adrian onto his lap. Adrian let out a ragged gasp, his head tilting back onto the stranger’s shoulder, his bare body trembling.

Roy’s vision blurred with need.

The stranger’s voice was smooth as silk. “Then come take him.”

Roy lunged forward.

The candle blew out.

And the night swallowed them whole.

...

The world was black velvet and fire.

Roy felt Adrian before he saw him—felt his body against his, felt the heat of his breath, felt the tremble of his fingers curling into his shirt.

Then—light.

The candle flared back to life, casting flickering shadows across the room. Adrian was in his arms, his golden skin flushed, his chest heaving. His pupils were blown wide, his lips still parted as if he’d been caught in a silent moan.

And behind him, the stranger loomed—a predator in human form.

His pale fingers traced Adrian’s throat, over the delicate pulse that fluttered there. “You say you won’t just watch.” His voice was a low purr, dark as the abyss. “Then prove it.”

Roy’s hands tightened on Adrian’s waist. He was done hesitating.

He tilted Adrian’s chin up, forcing their eyes to meet. “Is this what you want?”

Adrian’s breath hitched. He didn’t answer.

He didn’t have to.

He surged forward, crashing their mouths together, a desperate clash of lips and heat and years of unspoken tension igniting into something uncontrollable. Adrian moaned into the kiss, his fingers twisting in Roy’s hair, pulling him closer, demanding more.

Roy groaned, tasting him, taking him, claiming him.

Then—a second pair of hands slid up his back.

Roy stiffened as the stranger pressed up behind him, trapping them between him and Adrian. A dark chuckle ghosted against his ear.

“Ah… so eager,” the stranger murmured, his voice like silk wrapping around Roy’s throat. “But do you know what it means to truly give in?”

Roy shuddered, but he didn’t pull away.

Neither did Adrian.

The stranger smirked. “Then let me teach you.”

The candle snuffed out again.

And this time—no one resisted.
