The Devil would not be doing either. No . . . As Adom switched to the other nipple and felt Win fingers caressing his face and listened to the hitched sounds coming from his lover. No, this one wouldn't be going anywhere . . . not for a long time anyway.Win breathing was uneven and the Devil  finally put his hands on the hard rod of flesh that had been digging into his stomach. The Angel  jolted in shock, his brows knitted together in hesitation, fear, and desire."I swore I'd make it good for you. I always keep my promises, Win."The young man swallowed before nodding and Adom smiled, brushing a soft kiss over Win lips before moving down even further. His fingers hooked into the Angel  briefs, pulling them slowly down and revealing Win somewhat purple erection."Oh . . . Win," he said breathily, mouth literally watering as he leaned down and licked a stripe up the other man's cock.

Adom watched Win has the other man ran through the empty streets of Paris. The illusion of the city was barren of life—and odd choice for someone like Win, but perhaps he just did not want the distraction during his daily bit of exercise.The Devil  sipped his tea, revealing himself as the other man came around the corner. Win slowed down to a stop as he approached. Adom snapped his fingers and another cup appeared opposite him, steam rising from the delicate china."What are you doing here?" Win asked and there was a tiredness to his voice that was not just from the exercise.Adom raised a brow at the tone, but ignored it. "Simply taking in the scenery. I must say, I never thought to hear the sounds of the wind or the chirping of the birds while in Paris.""I hate running through people." The words were short—clipped, as though he was stewing for a fight. Win had never spoken to him in such a way before.

"I'm not trying to change you, Adom," Win breathed out. "But it doesn't have to only be your way!"Adom snorted. "As opposed to what? Your way? Rainbows and puppies for everyone as we all kiss and make up and forget the genocide your people attempted to inflict on the other creature's ?"The Angel nostrils flared in anger. "Is that what you think about when you're with me? Have you been blaming me for what they did this entire time?"Adom sent him a withering look. "If I did, you'd have been dead long ago."Win reared back, shoving the Devil away. "You . . . how are you like this?" he asked, voice catching in disappointed sadness.The Devil  crossed his arms over his chest. "Centuries of living in hell will do that to a person, Win. I didn't grow up in your sheltered Heaven  or even on this plane of existence. Hell is where I was reared.""Yo

"How long have I been here?"It was the first thing Adom heard when he portaled into Win- their quarters. He grimaced, looking anywhere but at the Angel who lounged back on the sofa. The space had expanded considerably as Adom spent more and more time there and bore little resemblance to the cell it had once been.Where there was once only a bed, some small bits of furniture, and lavatory, there was now a full suite of amenities branching off into various training rooms for Win as well as areas for more leisurely activities such as the sauna and full bath house. The Angel even had proper platforms for his box jumps now and no longer used the coffee table. Anything Adom could grant to Win in order to stave off questions like these."Does it matter?" the Devil asked instead, pulling off his overcoat and coming around to face his lover. Win didn't move so Adom shrugged and lifted the other man's feet, sitting down beneath them.

Win had been wandering the halls for hours already as he looked around the palace. Three months had passed since Adom had loosened the leash. Win still felt it, but he'd figured that even baby steps were better than no headway at all when it came to the Devil . For now, he'd settled on spending his days wandering the maze-like hallways, mentally mapping out the rooms and corridors. Even after so many days, he was still discovering new places within the never-ending palace grounds.The place was oddly quiet no matter what part of the compound he was in. the only sounds he heard with any consistency were his own footsteps and the skittering and clicking of his 'guard'. Win hadn't actually seen the guard except for once. The ceilings of the palace tended to be high and unnaturally dark. The . . . creature usually stayed within the confines of the shadows above.It had shown itself once when one of Adom demons had gotten too close to Win.
