Chapter 3
Zephan was naked under the covers. His trunks were still in the shower and his other clothes were in the guest room. As Otto walked in, he wished heâd had something to put on.
âTheyâve left.â Otto turned off the light, and then there was some rustling, making Zephan believe Otto was changing out of his wet pajama pants.
Shortly after the bed dipped and Otto slipped in underneath the covers.
âIs theâ¦ehâ¦body gone?â
âYeah, they took care of it.â
Zephan shivered. âDo youâ¦kill people often?â
âOnly if they step on my lawn.â
Zephan slapped his chestâbare. Before he could pull away, Otto caught his hand and pulled him closer. âHow are you holding up?â He ran a hand down Zephanâs back, urging him to rest on him.
âIâm okay, I think.â He soaked up Ottoâs heat. âIâm not used to being kidnapped or having the room Iâm sleeping in broken into.â
âNo?â Otto sounded amused.
âWhy do you think they came back?â
âTo destroy my lawn?â
Zephan groaned and rubbed his cheek against Ottoâs pec. The hairs there tickled, but he loved the way Otto smelled. He relaxed more. âApart from destroying your lawn, then? Iâm not important enough to chase after.â
âNo?â Ottoâs hand stroked him from his neck down to the small of his back and up again. It made him shiver and snuggle, if possible, closer.
âNo.â
âMaybe theyâve already contacted your family. It would look bad if theyâd lost you when they came to get you back.â
Zephan hummed. âThey would never pay.â
Otto didnât reply for a long time. His hand slowly traced Zephanâs spine over and over. âMaybe they would.â
âNo.â He shook his head. âTheyâd be glad to be rid of me.â
âIâm not sure. You came here because you were going to your sister. You still reached out to your family, and despite whatever conflict youâve got going, Iâm sure they donât want you held captive.â
Zephan laughed and patted his chest. âAww, youâre sweet. I was held captive in Silvermoor too. By my parents. They locked me up to make sure no one saw what a failure I was.â
Otto stiffened underneath him.
âThey didnât beat me or anything, and the food was good, but I wasnât allowed to leave my floor.â
Ottoâs hand stopped moving. âAnd you were going back?â
âNot to my parents. I havenât spoken to them in fifteen years. But I figured a room in Bridgetâs basement would be better than no home at all, even if there were bars over the windowâ¦if Iâd be allowed a window.â
âFor fuckâs sake.â
Tilting his head, Zephan tried to look at him, but it was too dark. For a second, there was no sound, then Otto brushed his lips over Zephanâs. The touch was surprising, but Zephan cupped his cheek to keep him in place. When Otto swiped his tongue over the seam of his mouth, Zephan moaned and opened for him.
It had been so long since heâd kissed anyone, and he lost himself in the sensation. It was slow and drugging. Otto took charge, and Zephan let him, enjoying having someone else set the pace.
