Chapter Ten

TRYSTAN WOKE up and realized he was being carried. His head lay on Asagoroth’s shoulder, his legs on either side of Asagoroth’s waist, one strong hand under his bottom, the other wrapped around his back. Leathery wings rose up before his eyes and dragged with a whisper of sound over the stone floor. Trystan looked around to see they were heading down a wide corridor, one without walls but massive columns that held up the looming ceiling. He could barely make out the stars and gaseous clouds in the Beyond far past the columns. Where was Asagoroth taking him? Trystan didn’t recognize this place. Though, granted, he knew very little about this temple.

Wrapping his arms around Asagoroth’s shoulders, Trystan sat up and looked at Asagoroth’s face.

“You are well?” Asagoroth’s voice rumbled out of his chest, vibrating against Trystan’s own. That voice did not belong to that body.

Trystan nodded, boldly sliding his fingers along one of Asagoroth’s horns. He caught a small smile on Asagoroth’s face.

“Do you dislike them?” Asagoroth asked.

“No,” Trystan said softly. “I… I like them. They’re different.” Asagoroth chuckled and Trystan smiled. “I’m so used to angels,” Trystan continued, feeling loose and, for the first time in his life, free. “I’m used to cold and distance. You’re—”

Trystan stopped, realizing Asagoroth was listening to him intently. His bright eyes were firmly focused on Trystan’s face, his head tilted slightly in interest. Trystan had never had anyone’s undivided attention before, not like this. Not even with Annalise.

“I’m what, Trystan?” Asagoroth whispered.

“Warm,” Trystan said on a breath of sound. Impulse had him cupping Asagoroth’s face in both hands. The heat of Asagoroth caressed his skin. He shivered. “You’re warm, Asagoroth. Hot. I see the flames between your scales when you move. I see them when I look into your eyes. You are so different from what I’m used to.”

“I’m glad,” Asagoroth said. He leaned forward and nuzzled Trystan’s neck. Smiling, Trystan closed his eyes and slid his hands over Asagoroth’s horns before continuing down the back of his head.

And still Asagoroth walked down the corridor, carrying Trystan somewhere unknown.

“You smell good,” Asagoroth said, his lips moving against Trystan’s skin. “You taste good. You feel good.” He tightened his arms around Trystan. “By the cosmos, I missed you so much.”

The emotion was raw in Asagoroth’s voice, and a lump formed in Trystan’s throat.

It’s not me he missed.

They suddenly began to descend. Trystan realized they were walking down stairs, and what light there was began to fade, growing steadily darker. But instead of growing colder, it grew warmer, the air heavier.

“Where are we going?”

“You’ll see.” Asagoroth’s eyes glowed in the darkness. They were so beautiful. Once again going with impulse, Trystan kissed him, warm lips pleasant against his cold ones. A rumble of satisfaction came from Asagoroth’s chest as he pushed his tongue into Trystan’s mouth. Sighing, Trystan focused on the kiss and let the comfort and pleasure of it wrap around him, infuse him.

A pale light began to shine against his eyelids, and he pulled away, opened his eyes.
