The tension, thick and slow, sliding down every word like honey over fire-slicked skin.
It's Leo's voice when he finally groaned Eli's name, not in anger, but in surrender.
It's Eli's fingertips dragging down Leo's spine, every motion deliberate, every second etched in heat.
Eli just pinned him again, leaned in close, lips brushing his ear, and whispered--
"You're mine tonight… and I'm not letting go until my name's the only one you'll call."
Leo's fingers gripped the edge of the sheets, knuckles white, eyes squeezed shut, a growl caught in his throat, but it died the moment Eli slammed his hips forward again, raw, dominant, unforgiving.
"You started this, Leo… now take it."
That wasn't a plea.
That was a demand, and Leo shuddered, his whole body betraying him as Eli bent him deeper, pressing down until Leo's spine arched like a bow pulled tight and ready to snap.
"I'm not asking for permission," Eli growled into his ear, voice laced with fire, "I'm claiming what's mine. You'll take all of me, until there's nothing left of that smug control you cling to."
Leo gasped. Moaned.
And then, he let go.
Fully.
Completely.
Burning, breaking, begging without words,
As Eli pounded in deeper, beating the monster within Leo into surrender.
"That's it, baby," Eli hissed, chest pressed against Leo's back, "Let me wreck you. Let me remind you whose name you scream when you're at your limit."
And Leo did.
Again.
And again.
And again.
Until his voice cracked, the sheets tangled, and every last barrier crumbled in Eli's hands.
Every slam, every gasp, every raw, merciless drag of heat that melted what's left of Leo's walls-
"Say my name again, Leo-"
"Let the whole world know who tamed your monster."
Leo was trembling now. That arrogant composure?
Torn apart.
His fingers clawed at the sheets, voice hoarse from all the cursing and growling he spat earlier, but it was Eli's name he was moaning now.
And Eli?
Oh, he wasn't done.
He was just getting started.
"You thought you could take control? Try again."
With one hand wrapped around Leo's throat, firm, but not choking, he bent down, lips brushing over Leo's ear, hot breath sending shivers all the way down his spine.
"Now say it, who's got you crying for more?"
Leo's response? A growl, a bite, a desperate buck of his hips--
But Eli caught it. Controlled it. Crushed it.
"Not until I'm done ruining you."
A sudden snap, hips meeting hips, Leo arched, a broken sound tearing from his throat.
His nails raked down Eli's back.
His thighs shook.
His pride?
Gone. Buried somewhere under the weight of Eli's dominance.
He wasn't the beast in this scene.
Not anymore.
"More... Eli, don't stop..."
Eli grinned wickedly, sweat dripping, eyes locked on the man beneath him.
"Not until you forget anyone else ever touched you."
"Not until your body remembers only me."
The room was thick with heat, the air vibrating with tension as Leo's resistance finally cracked. His breaths came ragged, chest rising and falling against Eli's relentless fire. Eli's eyes, dark and smoldering, held no mercy, only the promise of surrender and possession.
With a slow, deliberate push, Eli took the lead, turning the game entirely on its head. Leo's usual dominance melted away under the searing blaze of desire, his body arching in reluctant submission. The monster inside him roared, craving more, yet yielding to the unyielding heat of Eli's claim.
Every touch, every whispered command, every fiery kiss was a strike of passion, a battle neither wanted to lose, but both needed to win. The air around them crackled, flames licking higher as they dove deeper into each other, a Hellfire set ablaze by desire, raw and untamed.
Leo's growl mixed with Eli's breathless moans, a symphony of control and surrender that echoed into the night. No rules. No limits. Just the burning, insatiable hunger between two souls who refused to back down.
And as the night stretched on, the fire raged on, relentless, consuming, and far from over.
The dawn light filtered through the curtains, softening the wild chaos of the night before. Leo lay tangled in the sheets, every nerve still humming from the storm they'd unleashed. His breath came heavy, eyes half-lidded, trying to catch fragments of control slipping through his fingers.
But control was the last thing Eli had left behind.
On the bedside table, crisp bills lay spread out, a silent, unapologetic reminder. Eli's signature mark, mocking and bold. Like a trophy. Like Leo was the one who'd been played.
Leo's fingers trembled as they brushed over the money. His chest tightened with a bitter mix of humiliation and something darker, respect? Resentment? Both.
He had been dominated, pushed to the edge, exposed, not just in bed, but as a man.
And Eli? Gone.
No goodbye. No trace beyond that final, devastating touch. Just the memory. And the money.
Leo swallowed hard, the sting of defeat still fresh. He knew one thing:
He would never forget the night Eli owned him.
And he would never see him again.
Thunder cracked above the broken towers of the demon palace.Jacquiem, the last surviving knight of the holy purge, was dragged across the obsidian floor, bloodied but defiant. Chains clinked around his wrists. Behind him, two horned sentries shoved open the throne room doors and threw him forward like a discarded offering.Prince Valcoz lounged on his obsidian throne, naked to the waist, silver hair wet from battle, lean muscle slick with blood and rain. His gleaming red eyes narrowed, not in anger. Not disdain.Hunger.The chamber held its breath. Only Jacquiem’s ragged breathing dared make a sound.“The holy order sent children to slay me,” Valcoz murmured, rising. Each step he took was soft, soundless. “But you…”He crouched before Jacquiem, cupping the knight’s chin in a clawed hand. “You’re no child. You’re still alive. And you reek of something divine.”Jacquiem spat blood. “Your filth will be purged.”Va
The throne room of the obsidian palace echoed with wet sounds, squelch, slurp, pant. Prince Valcoz lounged atop his blackstone throne, head tilted back, lips parted in exasperated boredom. His horns glinted like knives in the dim candlelight. His hair, silver as powdered moonlight, clung damp to his throat.A low-ranking demon knelt between his legs, mouth working eagerly, throat clenching with each desperate attempt to appease his master. But it wasn’t enough.Valcoz’s eyes didn’t even flicker."Still empty," he murmured, voice a dark purr. He reached down, curling his claw-tipped fingers into the demon’s hair and yanking them back with a wet pop. A string of saliva snapped in the air."You’ve done this a thousand times. It’s not your fault," Valcoz said, bored, dismissive. His crimson eyes bored into the demon’s panicked face. "But it never reaches far enough. Never burns deep."He stood. The lesser demon scrambled back, bowing low. Val
The poison was gone. Burned out of his blood, purged by magic and madness alike.Victor stood still,.sweat clinging to his bare skin, breath ragged, heart loud. The taste of power still crackled in his veins. But for once, it wasn’t rage that consumed him. It was clarity.Aaron lay beneath him, naked, marked, kissed raw. His violet eyes, usually guarded, were wide open. Staring not at the Hero. Not at the Villain. But at him.At Victor.“I never wanted to hurt you,” Victor whispered. His voice shook, hoarse from hours of growled hunger and broken restraint. “Not as the Hero. Not as the monster in the dark. I just-” he stopped. “I wanted you to see me.”Aaron reached up, fingertips brushing Victor’s jaw. His hand trembled, not from fear, but from how much he felt.“I always saw you,” he said quietly. “You’re the only one who ever looked back.”Victor’s breath hitched. He lowered himself again, their foreheads pressed together. Thei
Victor stayed crouched, breathing hard, a sheen of sweat clinging to his chest. His cock twitched again, still half-hard, streaked with the remnants of his release.Aaron watched him from where he stood, wiping the blood and seed from his glove with quiet precision. But there was a pause in the way he moved.A silence.A shift.Victor looked up.And Aaron, finally, looked back.Not at the Hero.But at the Villain.“…It’s you,” Aaron said softly.Victor’s lips curled. “Took you long enough.”Aaron didn’t flinch. “That thing inside you. It wasn’t new.”Victor rose slowly, step by step. His muscles rippled, drenched in shadow and moonlight. “No. It was never separate from me. The magic just… gave it form.”Aaron’s breath caught.Victor stepped forward, slick fingers reaching for Aaron’s throat, not to choke, but to hold. “You never let me touch you like this before.”
Inside the cave, the storm raged harder.Rain drummed against the rocks like war drums. Lightning tore across the sky, flashing against the wet stone walls. The smell of blood clung to Victor’s body, his own.He leaned back against the cave wall, legs splayed, his shirt discarded, drenched in sweat. The poison wasn’t killing him, it was changing him. His heart thundered in his chest like a beast trying to break free.Aaron crouched beside him, hands gloved and steady as he poured another splash of water over the gash along Victor’s arm. “The swelling is getting worse,” he muttered. “You need to focus. Control your breathing.”But Victor wasn’t listening. Not to the words.He was watching Aaron’s throat move as he spoke. Watching the way his wet hair clung to his jaw. That perfect, cold face, always looking away. Never once seeing him.Victor’s hand twitched. The fire in his veins crawled beneath his skin, sparking with hunger. “Aaron…
The throne room gleamed with marble and gold, but tension thickened the air like smoke.Victor knelt, posture rigid, eyes fixed on the red carpet stretching up to the imperial dais. Duke Aaron stood beside him, tall, composed, face carved from the same cold stone as the pillars lining the room.Emperor Melikor leaned forward on his throne, crown casting shadow over his brow. “The Dark Forest festers with beasts,” he said, each word deliberate. “We’ve lost a dozen patrols in a month. The southern provinces are vulnerable. We cannot allow it to spread.”Victor’s voice was curt. “Then send me. I’ll burn them to ash.”The Emperor’s eyes flicked to Aaron. “You’ll go, with the Duke. This requires more than brute strength. Command, composure… clarity.”Victor didn’t so much as glance at Aaron. “As His Majesty commands.”Aaron bowed low. “We’ll leave by dawn.”His tone was formal, but clipped, brisk, distant. The two men turned
