He guided Alex back into his lap, hands gripping his hairy thighs. For a moment, sex was forgotten.

“Okay, listen, before you see it, you need to know something.”

“See what? Your cock?” A hysterical laugh bubbled out of Alex.

Talon snorted indelicately. “No, not my—would you shut up and let me talk?”

Alex fought back his grin and gestured magnanimously for him to continue.

“I know what you humans think when you see a box like this, so before you get your hopes up, that’snotwhat this is.”

“A box like what?” Alex asked blankly.

Talon hesitated for only a moment, and then pulled a small velvet box from his pocket. Alex’s eyes widened, but he remained silent.

“You asked earlier where I’ve been. I was picking this up.”

He opened the box. Inside, nestled in cream-colored satin, sat a white-gold ring. There were two strips of small diamonds along the top, and a very special hidden mechanism in the center.

Talon took it out and set the box aside. “See this tiny little switch on the side?”

“Mm-hm.”

He pressed it, and a tiny blade flipped out of the space between the diamonds. Alex gasped, taking the ring from Talon to inspect it himself.

“That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen,” he said gleefully. “I can’t believe you did this.”

Talon smiled. “It’s for me. I mean, for you to use on me.”

Alex’s face flushed prettily. He slid the ring onto his left ring finger—the same one he used to wear the guild ring on. He closed the blade, then carefully slid his middle and ring fingers together, activating the mechanism. The blade popped out, and he turned his fist, angling it toward Talon.

Talon lifted his shirt overhead and tossed it somewhere behind the sofa.

“It’s very small,” Alex said, watching the blade pierce Talon’s chest.

“And very sharp,” Talon said as the pain prickled through him, barely more than a paper-cut but exquisite because it wasAlexdoing it to him. The little blade slid deeper, and Talon’s head fell back onto the cushion with a heady sigh, sparks of pleasure-pain fizzing down his spine.

“Masochist,” Alex teased.

Talon chuckled, threading his fingers into Alex’s slowly growing hair. He’d decided to grow it out from the military-style cut he’d worn it in for the guild. “Waste not, little bird,” he said, guiding Alex’s mouth to the wound. His tongue flicked against the cut as he sucked, and Talon worked his hips mindlessly, the friction of his jeans not nearly enough.

As though reading his mind, Alex’s hands dropped to his belt. Talon lifted his hips, reaching between Alex’s legs for the plug while Alex worked his jeans down his thighs. The plug went sailing across the couch, and then he was sinking into Alex’s tight, slick hole.

“Oh, Alex,” he moaned, fucking up into him. “You’re so goddamn perfect. Take my cock so well.”

Alex rolled his hips, throwing his head back in abandon and resting his hands on Talon’s knees, baring his muscular, undulating body. His hard cock bobbed against Talon’s abdomen, and when Talon wrapped him in a firm grip, a shiver went down his spine.

“God, I’ve been hard for so long,” Alex moaned. “You took ages to get home. I’m not gonna last.”

“You don’t have to last, little bird, not this time. Come for me as soon as you want.”

Alex’s face twisted with agonized pleasure. Talon loved watching him take control like this, mindlessly chasing his own release, the flex of his moving body a divine vision for Talon and Talon alone.

Alex leaned forward, turning his fist toward Talon’s pectoral and driving the blade straight into him. It was like completing a circuit, having a part of Alex inside him while he was inside Alex. White-hot lightning shot through him, and pleasure burned under his skin, boiling up his cock as he found his release.

Alex’s mouth opened, and a cry spilled into the air as he came hard, splashing Talon’s stomach and chest.

They both shuddered through the aftershocks, and Alex lapped at the fresh black blood trickling down Talon’s chest. He raised his head with blood on his tongue and thrust it into Talon’s mouth. They both moaned, kissing deep and wet.
