Chapter 18:
âWeâre being tailed.â Madden went to step off to the side, no doubt to take the alley to their right and circle around to catch the shadow at the end of the street thatâd been following them since theyâd left the Little Palace.
âDonât worry about it,â Zane stopped him and kept walking, lifting a single shoulder when his fellow Retinue member frowned at him. âItâs just Pavel.â
âPavââ Maddenâs head swiveled, gaze sweeping the area. He wouldnât be able to spot the other man, however. They could both sense his presence, but Pavel was skilled enough not to be visually caught if he didnât want to be. âWhat the hell is he up to?â
Zane sighed. âHis best, apparently.â
Itâd been three weeks since their game at Concealed and, for the most part, Pavel had kept his word.
Sort of.
He hadnât approached Zane, and there hadnât been any other late-night visits or break-ins at the Little Palace. But he hadnât disappeared entirely. Every time Zane stepped out of the house, he was there, just on the edge of his peripheral.
At least before the thing at the art room, heâd hidden better, but ever since then, he hadnât bothered. Almost like he wanted Zane to know he was there. Wanted him to feel his hot gaze on him at all times.
âIs heâ¦stalking you?â Madden let out a low whistle. âMan, you guys have serious problems. Why canât you just court each other like normal people?â
âI donât think you have the right to say that.â Not when how Madden and Berga had gotten together was taken into account. âHow do you know weâre courting?â
Madden snorted, the sound very un-royal-like. âIf you wanted him to stop, you would have made him by now. Arenât you worried heâll figure it out soon?â
âNot at all.â The opposite, in fact. But what they had going worked for him for the time being. Zane was able to report back to Lyra that he was keeping an eye on Pavel, and he got to teach the other Retinue member a lesson after the hell heâd put him through in the woods and with that video.
The stint in the art room had also forced him to acknowledge an important truth. He wanted Pavel Hart, not slightly or maybe, but one hundred percent. Zane didnât like the fact that other people got to view him, while he was forced to stay separated.
Yes, that was his doing, but still. It pissed him off.
How long had Pavel been nude modeling? How many people on campus had seen his cock, soft and hard and every stage in between?
Did he usually sport a boner for those sorts of things?
Was it even Zane that had caused the reaction that day?
No matter how badly he wanted to accept his attraction to the other man, Zane still needed to think logically. He knew nothing about him, for one, and more importantly, he knew nothing about what he was.
That made all the difference. Understanding those sorts of things would help him decide if he should pursue this once the time limit was up or if he kept fighting.
