LOGINLENNON
Lennon’s pulse thundered in his ears. Why the f*ck did he just say that?
The lecture hall was empty, but anyone could push through those doors at any second. A janitor, another early student or a professor. Did he really want to be fucked by his professor in the lecture hall?
Shit, what if he sends him out?
Well, he did kiss him first and it did startle Lennon for the first three seconds, but what made him think professor Grayson wanted to fuck him?
Lennon wished he hadn't said that out loud.
He was trembling in Damien’s grip, hoodie rucked up from the kiss, lips swollen and wet. Damien’s eyes were black with hunger, fixed on him like Lennon was the only thing in the world worth looking at. But that still didn't tell Lennon if he wanted to fuck him or not.
“Say it again," Damian ordered, startling Lennon from his macabre of thoughts.
Say what again?
“Tell me exactly what you want."
Lennon’s throat worked. “I want you to fuck me, sir. Right now. Please.”
Damien's smile was slow, “Such pretty manners when you're desperate."
He stood in one fluid motion, towering over Lennon, and spun him around so fast the room tilted. Lennon’s palms slapped onto the wide oak podium, the same one Damien lectured from every Tuesday and Thursday. The wood was cool against his cheek when Damien bent him forward.
“Stay still,” Damien murmured. A hand settled between his shoulder blades, pinning him gently. “Don’t move unless I tell you.”
Lennon's breath fogged the polished surface. His lungs forgot how to work. He heard the clink of Damien's belt, but Damien didn't undress fully.
Damien’s palms slid under the hem of Lennon’s hoodie, pushing it up to his armpits. Cool air kissed his skin; then Damien’s mouth followed, hot and open, tracing the ladder of his spine. Every kiss was almost reverent.
“Look at you,” Damien whispered against the small of his back. “Fucking flawless. Every inch of you is beautiful.”
Lennon whimpered. He couldn't help it. Praise from Damien Grayson was a drug he hadn't tasted before but was addicted to from his first hit.
Damien sank to his knees.
Lennon felt the drag of teeth on the waistband of his joggers, then the slow peel of fabric down his thighs. Cool air hit his bare ass and he clenched instinctively, but Damien’s hands were already there, spreading him open like.
“Relax, sweetheart,” Damien crooned. “Let me see how gorgeous you are here, too.”
The first swipe of his tongue was filthy and perfect. Lennon’s knees buckled. Damien held him up easily, one arm banded across his hips, and licked into him like he was starving. Wet, obscene sounds filled the quiet hall, Damien eating him out with slow, savoring strokes that turned hungry and rough. He speared his tongue inside, curled it, pulled back to circle the rim until Lennon was shaking so hard the podium creaked.
“Sir, please—” Lennon’s voice cracked.
Damien hummed, the vibration making Lennon sob, then pushed one finger in alongside his tongue.
A second finger joined the first, scissoring, stretching him open while Damien’s mouth kept working him.
Lennon felt like he'd pass out from pleasure.
“That’s it. Open up for me, sweetheart. You’re doing so fucking well. Look at you taking my fingers like you were made for it.”
Lennon’s cock was trapped against the edge of the podium, leaking steadily, smearing the wood. Every thrust of Damien’s fingers sent sparks up his spine. He was making high, broken noises he didn’t recognize as his own.
Damien added a third finger and crooked them just right. Lennon’s back arched hard enough to hurt.
“Damien—” It came out a whine, needy and wrecked. “Fuck me. Please, I can’t—need you inside me now.”
Damien rose behind him, chest to Lennon’s back, mouth wet against his ear. “I actually wanted to hear you beg. You want my cock, sweetheart? Want me to fill this perfect little hole here where anyone could walk in and see?"
“Yes..fuck, yes..”
Damien pulled his fingers free. Lennon heard the slick sound of him spitting into his own palm, then the blunt, impossibly hot press of his cock nudging between Lennon’s cheeks.
“Eyes forward,” Damien growled. “Watch the door. If someone comes in, they’ll see you bent over your professor’s podium getting fucked like a needy little slut. And you’ll still take every inch, won’t you?”
Lennon nodded frantically then Damien pushed in with one long relentless slide. Lennon's mouth opened on a silent scream just as Damien bottomed out and stayed there. Lennon tried to adjust to the burn, the stretch, the overwhelming fullness.
“Fuck,” Damien hissed. “Feel that? That’s me owning you. Every time you sit in this room from now on, you’ll remember exactly how I feel buried inside you.”
He started to move with hard and punishing thrusts that rocked the podium.
Lennon clawed at the wood, moans spilling out of him with every snap of Damien’s hips. Damien’s hand wrapped around his throat.
“You're doing so fucking good," Damien rasped against his shoulder, his teeth scraping the skin there. “You're taking me so deep, so perfect. My beautiful boy. Look at you, spread open and dripping for me."
Lennon was beyond words, reduced to desperate, whiny noises, tears streaking his temples. The danger, the praise, the brutal rhythm, it was all too much and nowhere near enough.
Damien’s hand snaked around to fist Lennon’s cock, stroking in time with his thrusts. “Come whenever you want, sweetheart. I want to feel you milk me when you lose it.”
It didn’t take long. Lennon shattered with a choked cry, spilling over Damien’s fingers, vision whiting out. Damien groaned, hips stuttering, and slammed in deep one last time.
“Lennon—” His name broke on Damien’s tongue as he came, pulsing hot inside him, hips jerking through it.
They stayed locked together, panting, Damien’s forehead pressed between Lennon’s shoulder blades. Slowly, the world came back: the faint squeak of the building, the distant echo of footsteps somewhere far off.
Damien eased out carefully, turned Lennon around, and cupped his face. His thumbs wiped away tears Lennon hadn’t realized were still falling.
“Hey,” he said softly. “You with me?”
Lennon stared up at him, brain sluggish, body humming. Something clicked into place.
The voice. That same voice from The Black Orchid. Now he knew. He was so sure.
Lennon’s lips parted.
“It’s… it’s you.” His voice cracked. “You’re
Obsidian.”
Damien’s smile was slow, dark, and utterly unrepentant.
“Took you long enough, baby.”
The penthouse was on full lockdown. Every door was bolted shut. Every window was secured with reinforced locks. The security system was activated to its highest setting, the cameras were monitoring every angle.Lennon stood in the living room. He was watching the monitors closely. The screens showed every angle of the building. The corridors were empty, the elevators were still and the stairwells were quiet.Damien was beside him. His leg was still in a cast, his face was tight with tension. He was leaning heavily on his crutches."We're not safe here."Lennon looked at him. "I know.""We need to leave. We need to go somewhere else, somewhere he can't find us."Lennon shook his head. "No. We stay and fight. We can't keep running."Damien was quiet for a moment. "You're not trained for this.""I don't care."Damien grabbed his arm. "Lennon."Lennon pulled away. "He's coming for us. He's coming for our family, I'm not running anymore. I'm done running."Damien was quiet for a moment. T
The safe house was located on the outskirts of the city. It was a nondescript building that looked like any other structure in the neighborhood. The windows were dark, the doors were locked. The security was invisible but absolute, anyone passing by would have no idea what was happening inside.Lennon sat at the table in the center of the room. Damien was beside him. Roman was across from them, Archer stood near the door with his arms crossed. Evelyn and Scarlett were in the other room with Luca.The associate sat at the head of the table. His hands were still shaking. His eyes were still darting around the room, he looked like a man who had been running for a very long time. His clothes were wrinkled and his face was pale."Tell us about the file."The associate took a breath. "Kessler has been building it for years. Decades, maybe. He started collecting information when he was still in politics."Damien leaned forward. "What kind of information?"The associate met his eyes. "Everyt
The penthouse became a command center again. Maps covered every available wall surface. Phones buzzed constantly with updates and reports. People moved through the space with purpose and urgency. The energy was different this time. Lennon stood at the table. His head was still wrapped in bandages. His ribs ached with every breath but he was standing. He was leading, he wasn't going to let his injuries stop him.Damien was on the couch. His leg was propped up on a pillow. His face was tight with frustration, his hands clenched and unclenched at his sides."I should be doing more."Lennon looked at him. "You're doing enough."Damien gestured at his cast. "I can't even walk.""You can coordinate, you can plan. That's more than enough."Damien was quiet for a moment. "I hate this."Lennon moved closer. "I know."Roman walked in. He was using a cane, his face was pale but determined. He had been discharged from the hospital that morning against doctor's orders."I'm back."Lennon looked
The hospital room was too bright. Lennon sat in the chair beside Damien's bed. His head was wrapped in bandages that covered the gash above his temple. His ribs were taped tightly. His body was covered in bruises that had turned purple and black overnight. The doctor had confirmed a concussion that made the world feel distant and strange. Every movement sent a jolt of pain through his body.Damien lay in the bed. His leg was in a heavy cast that reached from his ankle to his thigh. His face was bruised and swollen. His arm was bandaged where shrapnel had cut him. He was exhausted but awake, he was holding Luca against his chest.Luca was asleep. The doctors had checked him thoroughly. He was fine, a few scratches on his arms. Some dust in his lungs that they had cleared out, nothing permanent. He had been scared but he was safe. His small chest rose and fell with each peaceful breath."He's okay."Lennon looked at Damien. "Yes."Damien looked down at Luca. "He's actually okay.""Ye
The sound was everywhere. It filled every corner of his consciousness, the building shook violently. Lennon felt himself being thrown through the air. He hit the ground hard. The impact knocked the breath out of his lungs completely, his vision went dark for a moment.He opened his eyes. The room was dark, the dust was thick. The air was heavy and hard to breathe, he couldn't see anything."Damien!"No response.He tried to move. His body screamed in protest. His leg was pinned under a heavy piece of debris, the pain was intense and radiating."Damien!"Silence.He pushed against the debris. It didn't move, he pushed again, harder this time. The muscles in his arms burned.It shifted slightly.He pushed again. It moved again.He pulled his leg free. The pain was excruciating, he ignored it. He had to find his family.He stood up. The room was unrecognizable. The walls were gone, the ceiling was gone. The old machines were twisted metal."Damien!"He heard a small cry. A familiar cry
The penthouse had become a war room. Maps covered every available surface. Phones buzzed constantly with updates and reports. People moved through the space with purpose and urgency. The air was thick with tension and fear.Lennon stood at the table. He had been awake for forty-eight hours straight. His eyes were heavy and red-rimmed. His mind was sharp despite the exhaustion, he couldn't afford to rest not while his son was out there.Damien was on the phone. He was coordinating with the team. His voice was low and controlled, the calm was a mask. Everyone could see through it."The location is confirmed. An abandoned factory on the east side. Kessler has been using it as his base of operations, it’s heavily guarded."Lennon looked at the map. "How many guards?""At least a dozen. Maybe more, we have reports of additional security on the perimeter.""We need a plan."Damien set the phone down. "We have a plan, we go in hard and fast. We get Luca out. Everything else is secondary."Le
Chapter 141Evelyn's house was warm and lit.It smelled like pasta, Roman was in the living room with Archer on his right and the expression of a man who had arranged all the pieces and was watching them hold.Lennon came through the door and Evelyn was there immediately, not dramatic, just present
Chapter 139Roman called at nine PM."I need to tell you something," Roman said. "I am telling you directly because it concerns you directly and I have been in the habit of telling Damien first. Letting Damien decide when to tell you and I am trying to stop doing that."Lennon looked at Damien, who
Chapter 138The video was twenty-three minutes.No one had expected twenty-three minutes. Archer had never posted anything longer than seven. He sat at his desk in the specific posture of someone who had been thinking about something for a long time and had finally decided to say it all.He started
Chapter 132Kessler came through the classroom door at seven-fifteen with an envelope in his hand. The senator version—the one that had spent thirty years in rooms where the weight of a person's presence was enough to change the temperature before a word was said. He came through the door that way
