Chapter 1

The Vain Servant

(Abby ends up in hell)

(skip to the next chapter if you want the juicy bits)

The air around Abby vibrated with a thousand screams of victory and adoration. He sat atop his horse and basked in it. Raising his sword in the air he joined in the cheering, a perfect specimen of a warrior, his biceps flexing imperceptibly for the crowd. For the last 7 years this was his life, a strong leader in the king's army, his courage and sculpted physique always earned him the loudest cheers. But then a new sound joined in, a low hum, not from the crowd but from beneath him.

The sunlight that reflected off the soldiers armor seemed to flicker and cast long, distorted shadows that writhed like hungry snakes. The cheers and shouts of the crowd turned into a chilling whisper. Abby had heard that voice before, a long time ago. Panic cut through his thoughts and he tried to move, to run, to get away, but his muscles betrayed him, suddenly useless.

From the shadows a form began to coalesce below him. At first it was indistinct but when it sharpened and the horrifying visage of Gwi-ma stared back at him. The horse bucked, spooked by this display and threw Abby off. He hit the ground hard, his body working against him and not softening the landing. For a moment he blacked out but the ancient voice of Gwi-ma ringing in his head brought him back to awareness. “Your debt is due.”

Abby wanted to scream but no sound escaped his throat. The ground itself seemed to melt beneath him, the dirt transforming into a viscous substance with a life of its own. It coiled around his ankles and then his waist, not merely pulling him down, but absorbing him, stripping away parts of soul. The last image burned into his mind was not the victorious army cheering for him but the triumphant grin of Gwi-ma claiming his newest asset.

“Rise.. my warrior.” Gwi-ma's command brought Abby back to his senses. Expecting pain and fire to greet him he was surprised to feel... nothing? Abby started to rise but an oppressive presence kept him on his knees. “You have served your king well Abby, now it is time to serve me.” the same commanding voice spoke, but this time it was aloud and not just in his head. “Please me and you will be rewarded, fail me and you will lose EVERYTHING!” the shouted last word rang and echoed over and over. Abby tried to turn, to look around but he couldn't. Something or someone was pinning him where he knelt so he did the only thing he could: answer: “Yes Gwi-ma.”.

Fire swirled around Abby, making him uncomfortably hot. “You will address me as Master. That is what I am and will be for the rest of your pathetic life. Do you understand?”.

He would not, could not call this monstrous thing, or anyone for that matter, master. With or without his “gifts” he has who he was and would never bow down to anyone so completely. Seconds ticked by and Abby gritted his teeth against the pain as the fire surrounding him drew in closer and closer. Smoke began to rise from his clothing and he could feel his skin begin to blister but still he did not answer.

The swirling flames lifted Abby from his knees and turned him around to face the mass of demons gathered at the base of Gwi-ma's throne. In a sinister whisper that seemed to come directly from behind Abby, Gwi-ma spoke: “Look around Abby. This is what remains of those who defy me. Forgotten ambitions, echoes of who they once were, nothing but scattered thoughts in a hideous body. You will be no different. Speak the words Abby.”

The fire engulfing him was too hot, Gwi-ma's presence was filling him with fear but he still refused to call him master. Instead he focused on controlling his traitorous muscles, tried to struggle, to get away from the pain. Gwi-ma's laugh was deafening and his voice malicious: “Go ahead, struggle. You'll only exhaust yourself. Your strength, your desires, your ambitions, they mean nothing here. They are phantoms, just like the freedom you still think you have. You are MINE! And you will serve, or you will simply... cease.”

A powerful shove freed Abby from the flames but it flung him down from the throne, landing him against the hard packed dirt and causing him to skid along until his momentum was halted by a towering jagged shard of rock. His entire body hurt, he could never remember being in so much pain, even when on the battlefield. Unable to move, he lay at the bottom of the pillar of stone and gazed up at the red sky, counting the sickly green flashes of light.

Chapter 2

Keeping him in check

(Abby and Jinu)

It's hard to keep track of time when stuck in hell. It's easier to do it in the mortal realm. Abby leaned casually against the stone wall encircling the town whose name he couldn't recall. His muscles flexed under the leather armor he was wearing by their own volition, reminding him it was time to return to the underworld soon. Abby sighed and focused on his patterns, bracing for the inevitable pain caused by reentering Gwi-ma's realm.

As expected, he landed hard on his back upon the stone throne. No matter how pleased Gwi-ma was with him, he always made it hurt badly.

Gwi-ma: “Rise my warrior.”

An invisible force tugged at Abby, lifting him and placing him on his feet.

Gwi-ma: “Is it done?”

Abby: “Yes. Everything has gone according to plan. The fighting will begin soon and all the souls will be destined for the underworld.” Abby bowed slightly as he spoke, placing his right hand over his heart. “A perfect servant” he thought to himself, “nothing more, nothing less”.

Gwi-ma: “Good. I have a special task for you. One of my gifted servants is not... meeting expectations. You will get him under control. You are after all, my general.”

Abby bowed again: “As you wish.” and turned to leave. He managed one step before a powerful force pushed him off the stone throne and sent him sliding along the hard dirt. This has been a constant occurrence in Abby's life since he descended into Gwi-ma's realm. He would endure the shame and the pain, he will never call him master.

Jinu sat on the ground, his back against the crumbling brick wall of what was once a house. He had his bipa but he was only strumming along, not really putting any effort into a song. The voices in his head were getting worse and worse, his will to do anything but wallow in despair was all but gone.

Abby: “I had higher hopes. Don't tell me you traded your soul for nothing.”

Jinu was startled by Abby's voice. He looked up at the demon who was precariously perched atop the only piece of roof left. “What do you want?” he snarled at him then squinted, taking a better look at the intruder. He was no ordinary pesky demon, not the sort that would usually come around to try and feast on the few remaining strands of good emotions he had left. The newcomer was a gifted demon, just like Jinu was.

Abby didn't answer, instead he effortlessly leaped from the roof and landed in front of Jinu. They stared at each other, Abby with disappointment in his eyes and Jinu with hatred. Abby kicked Jinu's boot with his. “Come on, get up, let's go”.

Jinu: “Go? Go where? I'm not going anywhere with you”. He scrambled to get up so he could stare this insane demon in the eye but as he did so he realized his opponent was a few inches taller than him. Still he didn't back down.

Abby: “Enough with the self pity, there is purpose for you here. Come with me and I will help you find it”.

Jinu: “Help?” he laughed, incredulous. “Help from a demon? You must be joking.”

Abby: “Listen to me. You can stop this endless brooding, it's a waste of energy. There are...”

Abby didn't get to finish whatever he was going to say. Jinu's claws swiped at him so fast, he barely managed to get out of the way in time. Again Jinu came for him, a scream of frustration unleashing from his chest. Abby dodged swipe after swipe but Jinu was relentless. “He's fast...” Abby thought as he was forced to use the ruins of the home to keep Jinu at bay “...but he's also enraged. I'm stronger than him, all I need is an opening and he's done” . Using the few remaining steps of what once was an inner staircase, Abby launched himself over the crumbling wall and landed behind Jinu. Jinu turned but not fast enough.

Abby grabbed him by the throat and pushed him against the wall, lifting him a few inches off the ground and smashing his head hard enough to daze Jinu. “Listen to me, I don't want to hurt you.”

Jinu: “Fuck you.” he spat and tried to loosen Abby's grip on his throat.

Abby smirked, slowly lowered Jinu to the ground and moved closer, using his body to pin him against the wall. He leaned in to whisper in Jinu's ear: “Go ahead, struggle. You're only going to exhaust yourself.” echoing the same words that Gwi-ma once spoke to him. He loosened his grip but kept Jinu in place, enjoying the way his feeble attempts to struggle felt against his body. “I can make the voices stop...”. Abby's left hand went to Jinu's thigh. His nails scraped slowly up until they reached his waist “... if you let me...” he slid his thumb inside Jinu's waistband “...show you how.” he took a small step back and his hand reached between them.

Jinu's breath hitched in his throat: “No... what... I... I...” he couldn't find the words. The word was stop but he didn't say it. When Abby's hand reached inside his pants and wrapped around his cock Jinu was shocked to find himself hard. Thoughts rushed through his head: “No, no, what is happening? This is not right” but Abby flicked his tongue over his neck and whispered in his ear again “You want me, I know you do.” Jinu's mind blanked, voices and thoughts replaced by pure desire and pleasure. He realized Abby wasn't holding him by the throat anymore, instead his hand was on Jinu's chest, nails lightly digging in.

Jinu closed his eyes, surrendering to the feeling of Abby's hand slowly stroking his hard cock. He knew what he was doing, his thumb flicked over the tip of Jinu's cock making him moan with pleasure each time. He was so hard it almost hurt and Abby's slow strokes were a tease. He arched his back, trying to thrust against Abby's hand, to make it faster. It was of no use, the teasing continued. Jinu's moans became gasps of pleasure. He felt Abby's hand grip his chin and lift it. He kept his eyes closed and braced for a kiss, but it didn't come. Abby's lips almost touched his as he whispered “Look at me” . He wanted to but he was so wrapped up in the pleasure he couldn't. Instead he parted his lips, still hoping for that kiss. Abby's grip tightened on his chin and this time he didn't whisper, he growled “I said look at me”. A shiver went through Jinu's body and he almost came undone. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked at Abby. His eyes weren't evil or sad or filled with disappointment. What he saw was the gaze of a predator. 

Abby stroke Jinu's cock faster. His own hard cock twitched in protest, trapped inside his pants. The look of fear mixed with pleasure in Jinu's eyes sent shivers through his body. “Yes, yes, surrender to me” Abby thought “give in, give me all your desire”. Aloud he growled at Jinu “Look at me Jinu, look at me. I want to see you cum.” This was it, he had him, he could feel Jinu's cock pulse in his hand. In a low, commanding voice he said “Look at me and cum.”

At Abby's command, Jinu became lost in a world of pleasure. His cock pulsed and shot ribbons of cum over Abby's hand and Jinu almost screamed with the release. He closed his eyes, but Abby's fingers dug into his chin so he opened them again and stared into the yellow demon eyes of Abby.

Abby smiled and placed a soft kiss on Jinu's forehead. “Good” he whispered, then began to walk away. Looking back at Jinu over his shoulder he asked: “Are you coming or what?” with a smirk on his lips. When Jinu just stood there, breathing heavily, Abby shrugged and continued walking. “If you change your mind, find me at the Crimson Peak”.

Abby walked, absentmindedly rubbing Jinu's cum between his fingers, his thoughts swirling with images of Jinu trapped in the jaw of desire. It was one thing to conquer mere mortals, but to conquer another demon, a gifted demon nonetheless, one of Gwi-ma's favorites, now that was something special. He licked the cum off his index finger and shuddered with pleasure. Such a fine taste. Desire born in the demon world was so tasty. His cocked twitched in protest again. Abby sighed and gripped it through his pants, settling it in a more comfortable position. Soon enough he will have his share of pleasure... soon. He continued walking into the gloom and it was a long while before Gwi-ma's voice returned to his mind. Instead of torture he only whispered one word “Good” echoing Abby's parting word to Jinu.

Jinu slumped against the wall, breathing hard, his eyes opened wide with shock. As the pleasure faded, horror replaced it. What just happened? This was wrong, so very wrong. He tried to think back to how it happened but the only thing that kept popping in his head was Abby's growl, ordering Jinu to look at him. Each time he shook his head, trying to rid himself of that cursed echo but it kept coming back. He cradled his head in his hands and squeezed his eyes shut, trying to ward the thoughts away but it kept coming back. Worse, Abby's words playing back in his mind made his now limp cock twitch. “Fuck fuck fuck” he shouted aloud making the shadows around him move. He froze and looked around, seeing for the first time the small demons lurking in those shadows. They were slowly closing in, weary but willing to risk pain for a taste of that sweet desire that emanated from Jinu. It was time to get out of there, but go where? This had been his place for a long time. He could go to Crimson Peak... NO! He would not. This... this... whatever this was... was all wrong. He picked up his bipa and began walking.

The voices returned, the guilt and shame came back with a vengeance. The brief moment of freedom he had made the return of the torment worse. With a start, Jinu realized Abby had been right. He made the voices stop, if only for a while, but it was a welcomed respite regardless. Thinking of Abby brought the echo of “Look at me” back. Jinu shook his head and gritted his teeth, determined to forget it all. “You left them, you left them to die” the voice of guilt replaced Abby's words filling him with pain. He stopped walking and braced against a dead tree. “You left them, YOU LEFT THEM TO DIE” rang in his head again and again. Jinu's breath quickened, when the voices got this loud it felt like he could never get enough air. “You betrayed them Jinu”.”STOP STOP” he cried out “STOP” this time a shout so loud it echoed into the gloom. Then Abby's voice again replaced the thoughts in his head: “I can make the voices stop if you let me show you how.”

Abby leaned against the doorway of his house with his arms crossed against his chest. It wasn't a nice place but it had a roof and the walls were almost intact. When he first came to this place he tried to fix it, but each time he would make repairs, it would return to its original state in a few days. He wanted the things around him to look good but fixing anything in the underworld was impossible. He could make it worse but he could never make it better. He was looking up, frowning slightly at the branches of the dead tree that sat right outside the house. They wouldn't stay trimmed and they would scrape against the top floor, making an eerie noise, when he heard the sound of boots on gravel. Abby turned in that direction, expecting to have to deliver a beatdown to some annoying minor demon, but all he saw was Jinu approaching. His lips curled into a smirk. “Welcome.”

Jinu didn't lift his eyes off the path. “You said you can show me how to make the voices stop” .

Abby: “Yes. I did make them stop, didn't I?”. There was playfulness in his voice.

Jinu: “What do you want in return?”

Abby: “Nothing. I told you, I want to help.”

Jinu stopped a few steps away from Abby and looked up. He couldn't stifle a small gasp when he saw Abby leaning in the doorway without his shirt on, his muscular chest artistically framed by his long black coat and leather pants. “No wonder he bested me so easily earlier. He's a fucking monster.”

Seeing Jinu's look, Abby smiled wider: “Don't worry, I don't bite” he chuckled “Unless you want me to?” .

Jinu narrowed his eyes: “I'm not here for that, whatever that was. I want you to show me how to keep the voices out.” There was anger in his voice, but was he angry at Abby or at himself?

Abby took two steps towards Jinu. They were standing in arms reach of each other now. “That...” he made a vague gesture with his hand “... felt good didn't it?” . Abby ended the gesture by placing his hand on Jinu's shoulder.

Jinu looked disgusted for a second then slapped Abby's hand off. “Don't touch me.” he growled.

Abby feint looking hurt: “That's not what you said earlier.”

Jinu launched himself at Abby, claws extended, eyes blazing, bright purple light swirling through his patterns. He was going to get this smug demon and teach him a lesson.

Abby tried to dodge but this time Jinu's swipe cut through his coat and left gashes on his biceps. He growl with frustration and went for a blow of his own. “I don't want to hurt you...” he grunted as Jinu landed a gut punch “... but you're making it very difficult.” The swipes and punches continued to land, each blow weakening its target. Abby panted “You're not fighting me Jinu, you're fighting yourself.”

Jinu: “Go to hell.”

Abby: “I'm already in hell.”

Jinu roared with frustration as he charged Abby again, but this time Abby managed to trip him and send him face down to the ground. When Jinu tried to rise Abby placed a boot between his shoulders and held him down. “Why are you fighting so hard against it?” Abby asked, confused. “There are very few good things down here.”

Jinu's struggle left him with a strained groan. He laid on the ground trying to catch his breath. Abby just stared down at him, his boot still on Jinu's back, waiting for him to calm down. Moments dragged by with them just standing like that. Abby sighed and moved to kneel next to Jinu. “Come on...” he patted his shoulder, “...get up.”

When Jinu began to stand up Abby stood as well and walked inside the house. A few beats later, Jinu followed, closing the door behind him. Abby shrugged out of his coat and draped it over the back of a chair then turned to face Jinu.

Jinu: ”I'm sorry.” he slowly reached a hand out and placed his finger tips under the gash on Abby's biceps.

Abby looked down at his arm then back at Jinu: “It's nothing.”

Jinu kept his gaze on Abby's wound and used his thumb to draw slow circles on his skin. Neither of them spoke for a long moment, the tension between them building. Then Abby wrapped his injured arm around Jinu's waist and pulled him closer. His other hand lifted his chin up as Abby leaned down for a kiss. This time Jinu did not resist him. He closed his eyes and gave in to Abby's exploring tongue. The kiss did not last long and when Jinu opened his eyes he was greeted by Abby's feral grin.

Jinu smiled shyly back “What happens now?” he asked in a whisper.

Abby growled and went back for another kiss, this time an aggressive one. He pushed Jinu backwards until his ass bumped against the table beneath the cracked window. Abby released Jinu's lips for a moment “Now we make the voices stop.” he said and resumed his assault on Jinu's lips.

Jinu's long coat dropped to the floor, quickly followed by his shirt. He wanted to get at Abby, to put his hands on his firm body, but Abby wasn't having any of it. He tried again to reach for Abby's belt but Abby grabbed his wrist and held it tight while expertly undoing Jinu's pants which joined the rest of the clothes on the floor.

Still holding Jinu by the wrist, Abby took one step back and looked him up and down for a moment. He wanted to slam Jinu face down on the table, pin him down by the throat and take him hard. His swollen cock twitched in agreement with the image inside Abby's head. Abby tried to fight against his urges but failed. His eyes glowed bright yellow and with the speed only a demon can achieve he twisted Jinu around and pushed him face down on the table. Jinu grunted, making it even harder for Abby to resist.

Anger and compliance fought inside Jinu. He was angry for being handled so roughly but at the same time he enjoyed it. Having this strong demon holding him down made him hard. He fought against Abby's grip but it was a token effort. He wanted what was about to come next. Abby's belt clinked as it came undone and Jinu felt the big demon's chest press against his back.

Abby barely managed to control himself. He rested his throbbing cock against Jinu's ass and leaned over him, placing soft kisses on his shoulder. He could feel Jinu taking deep breaths beneath him. Abby smiled. He shouldn't keep Jinu waiting. He gave him one more playful bite and stood up. He kept one hand pressed on Jinu's lower back, holding him steady and with his other hand guided his cock. He stroked it slowly, coating it with the precum already building on the tip, then rubbed it against Jinu's entrance. Abby bit on his lower lip as he began to press gently inside Jinu. Jinu tensed but Abby didn't relent. He kicked Jinu's ankles, spreading his legs as much as the pants still wrapped around them would allow, then pressed harder. The head of Abby's cock slid inside Jinu and he let out a moan.

Jinu half moaned half gasped when Abby's cock began to slide inside him. It hurt. But when Abby leaned back down over him, causing his cock to slide deeper inside Jinu, the pain turned into electric pleasure. His own cock demanded attention and Jinu tried to reach for it but Abby caught his wrist and brought his hand back on the table.

Abby: “You're not allowed, not until I say so.” he whispered, then began to thrust inside Jinu. He grabbed Jinu's other wrist as well and used one hand to hold both of Jinu's wrists pinned above his head. Jinu didn't fight him, it was easy to hold him right where Abby wanted him. He used one claw of his free hand to trace the patterns on Jinu's back, watching goosebumps form under this touch.

Jinu moaned and gasped softly with each thrust. He was being pushed further and further on the edge. But he wasn't allowed to take the last step. Abby's movements became erratic and Jinu's moans louder. He was so close but he wasn't allowed release. He couldn't take it any more. “Please.” he managed to get out between breaths.

“ What was that?” Abby leaned his chest on Jinu's back again, his thrusts deep and short now.

“ Please.” Jinu gasped again.

“ Beg!” Abby said sharply and sped up his movements.

“ Please.” Jinu repeated.

Abby let go of his wrists and grabbed Jinu's hair, pulling back hard so he could get his lips against Jinu's ear. “I said beg. Say it.”

“ Please let me cum, I'm begging you. I can't... I can't ...” he panted.

A shiver of delight went through Abby and he stood up, pulling Jinu along with him. He held him against his chest with one arm, Abby's cock still deep inside him and with his other hand he reached around and found Jinu's cock. He wanted to tease him some more but Jinu's barely audible whisper “Please make me cum.” made him relent.

Jinu held on to the edge of the table with both hands, his nails digging deep into the wood. He felt Abby's hand wrap tight around his cock. He heard himself plead aloud for release and then he felt Abby's rough palm glide up and down his length with quick movements. Fuck, it felt so good. He wanted to cum but he also wanted this feeling to last longer. His leg muscles stiffened and he tried to hold on, but Abby's cock began to throb inside him and he couldn't... Jinu held his breath as his cock shot stream after stream of cum, Abby's strokes continuing through his orgasm. He let out a sharp exhale at the end and then found himself face down on the table once again with Abby holding on to his hips and thrusting hard inside him, each pumping motion punctuated by a shouted “Fuck!” coming from Abby. He turned to look over his shoulder at Abby and saw the big demon staring back at him, his yellow eyes glowing bright. Jinu couldn't help a shudder going through his body. That look of a predator looking down at prey... it was doing things to his insides.

Abby shouted “Fuck!” with each thrust, the pleasure building. Having Jinu at his mercy like this, it was delicious. And the look on Jinu's face, the look of acceptance of submission, that was extra special. “Oh yes...” Abby thought, staring down at Jinu “... I'll keep him in check alright.” That thought conspired to send him over the edge and with one last hard pump, his cock unleashed its load inside Jinu.

For a moment, no one moved. To Abby it seemed that Jinu was holding his breath. “Uncertainty.” he thought to himself. Then he mentally shrugged the thought away. It will pass or he will make it pass. He took one deep breath and ran a hand down Jinu's back, then disentangled himself and pulled his pants up, heading towards the bed in the corner of the room. He grabbed the only blanket and went back to Jinu, who was up and working on fastening his pants. Abby draped the blanket over Jinu's bare shoulders then pulled him into an one arm embrace. He held him for a second then placed a soft kiss on his forehead again before walking away to sit on the edge of the bed.

Jinu stood there transfixed for a moment, then wrapped the blanket tighter around himself. He looked at Abby and chuckled.

Abby raised an eyebrow in a questioning manner.

Jinu: “It occurred to me that I don't even know your name.”

Abby laughed: “Now that's something.”

Jinu: “So what is it?”

Abby sketches a sited bow: “Abby.”

Jinu bows back in acknowledgment. Silence fills the room until a gust of wind rustles the branches of the dead tree, creating a creepy sound upstairs. Jinu glances up while Abby lets out a weary sigh.

Abby gestures towards the stairs leading up. “There's a spare bed upstairs. If you want it it's yours. Or...” he reaches out a hand towards Jinu and looks at him questioningly.

Jinu looks up for a moment longer than walks towards Abby's outstretched hand.

Chapter 3

The unseen threat

(Baby ends up in hell)

(skip to the next chapter if you want the juicy bits)

Time has no meaning in the realm of Gwi-ma. Abby sat on the edge of the bed, lacing up his boots. Jinu leaned against the window frame staring into the gloom, one hand rubbing the back of his neck.

Jinu: “Where are we going?”

Abby: “I am going to do Gwi-ma's bidding as commanded. You... you are coming with me.”

Jinu took his eyes away from the gloom and looked at Abby. “What am I, you're dog?”

Abby: “I didn't say that.”

Jinu scoffs and turns back to looking out the window. He couldn't figure Abby out and it was bugging him. One moment he was acting kind, the next he was an arrogant prick and the next a possessive demon. There was no rhyme or reason to his random moods and Jinu was getting tired of it. Lost in his thoughts, Jinu didn't hear Abby approach, so he was startled when Abby wrapped in an one arm hug.

Abby: “You look adorable when you sulk.”

Jinu: “I do not...” he began then realized he was doing just that. “Alright, fine, let's go. Are you ready now?”

Abby placed a firm hand on Jinu's shoulder, his patterns swirled bright and the room around them turned into a dark alley. Jinu looked around disgusted. It was dark, damp, narrow and smelled of fish and something dead rotting. He waved a hand in front of his face to ward off the smell.

Abby chuckled: “Worse than back home, huh?”

Jinu: “Yeah. What are we doing here?”

Abby: “We are looking for a traitor. Gwi-ma wants him sent back to face his punishment.”

They searched and searched the narrow alleyways until they could see the glow of sunrise on the horizon. This demon was a slippery one and it had found a way to ward himself from Gwi-ma's direct control. They could sense him, but not his exact location. But he was near, it was just a matter of time. Just as the first rays of sun touched the rooftops they came across the wretched beast layer on the edge of the town in a cellar belonging to a ruined house.

The fight was short, the outcome predictable. After dispatching the demon back to the underworld Abby smashed the talisman that protected the demon from Gwi-ma's gaze. His will was done, it was time to return. Or maybe not? Abby glanced at Jinu expecting him to have an opinion one way or another about the talisman's destruction, but instead he found Jinu gazing up the cellar's staircase with narrowed eyes. Abby took a step towards Jinu and began to ask a question but Jinu held out a finger to silence him.

Jinu gestured at Abby to be quiet and to follow him up the stairs. Taking careful steps they made their way up. There was no one outside, just the piles of rubble that once made up the house. Jinu looked around with narrowed eyes. Abby did the same. They both stood there looking around for a long time but they spotted nothing out of the ordinary. But Jinu sensed something or someone was watching them. He got the feeling a while back while they were tracking the demon through the alleys. Someone was following them and he or she or it must have come all the way here.

“What is it?” Abby whispered, a little bit spooked by Jinu's display.

Jinu shushed him again and continued to listen intently. There! A tiny movement under a piece of cloth. With supernatural speed, Jinu launched himself at it, claws extended, ready to kill. Abby was right behind him. At the last moment, curiosity changed Jinu's mind and he tackled the form hiding beneath the fabric instead of ripping it to shreds. He heard a grunt of pain and then the form of a man dressed in rags sprawled at his feet, unmoving.

Arriving just a second behind Jinu, Abby kicked the form with his boot. “What is it?”

Jinu: “Just a beggar."

Abby looked around, confused. “All the way over here?”

Jinu: “He followed us from town. I sensed it but I wasn't sure.”

Abby glances at Jinu: “Impressive.” then back down at the man. “What do you want to do with him?”

Jinu: “I want to know why he is following us. Maybe he knows something. That demon we sent back just now had help, that talisman didn't appear out of nowhere.”

Abby crouches to look closer at the man. Pushing on his shoulder, Abby turns him face up. Both demons look down at a young man, probably not even in his 20s yet. Dirty, dressed in rags, one of his cheeks marked this an ugly scar, but young.

Jinu: “Hmm, I was expecting a wise old man or something.”

Abby scoffs: “Or something. Hope you didn't kill him.”

Jinu: “It was barely a blow, he's not dead.”

Abby gently slaps the young man's cheek. “Hey, wake up.” When the man doesn't react, the slaps him harder.

The man startles awake, wide blue eyes staring in fear first at Abby then at Jinu. Then his eyes narrow and turn malicious and an evil smile stretches his mouth. “I didn't expect to meet like this.”

Abby looks at him incredulous. “What?”

The young man gets on his knees so he can be at eye level with Abby: “I wanted to meet you, to speak to you. I knew there was a demon hiding here, the signs were obvious and I knew someone would eventually come looking, so I waited and watched and waited some more and here you are.” He stares into Abby's yellow demon eyes for a few seconds then looks up at Jinu.

Jinu: “Right... so what do you want?”

The man giggles in a way an insane person might. “I want to go with you.”

Abby: “Go with us? To the underworld? You want to make a deal? We don't deal, that's Gwi-ma's gift to give.”

The man: “You misunderstand me, I don't want a deal, I want to serve, nothing more.”

Jinu and Abby exchange confused looks.

Abby shrugs: “Then let's go.” He grabs the man by the neck and stands up, lifting him along. Jinu rolls his eyes at Abby's display then places a hand on his shoulder. Abby's patterns glow and the world around them shifts.

As always they land hard and painful on Gwi-ma's stone throne. Jinu and Abby get to their feet, gritting their teeth against the pain. When the man tries to get up, Abby kicks him back down and places a boot on his back. A shiver or pleasure runs through Jinu at the image before him. He is startled for a second, but recovers quickly, crossing his arms and looking down at the man with disgust.

Gwi-ma: “What is this?”

Abby: “This dog wants an audience.” Abby kicks at the form lying face down on the floor. And then the screams begin.

Swirling flames engulf the man and lift him off the floor. Abby takes a step back to avoid the searing heat. Whatever Gwi-ma was saying must have been inside the man's head and it must not be pleasant, judging by the screams. This display went on for a while, Jinu and Abby standing to either side of the fire swirl, arms crossed, eyes glowing, looking menacing.

Gwi-ma inside the man's head: “I looked. I prodded. I found nothing but an emptiness so profound it is almost admirable. You are a void, a blank slate begging to be filled. You have no desire, no ambition, no cherished memory to corrupt. There is no pain to sharpen into a weapon.” Gwi-ma lets out a mocking laugh. “I'm not going to take your soul little demon because there is nothing TO TAKE. You will simply carry a sliver of mine.” The man's bones begin to shift under his skin as Gwi-ma speaks “You are not a masterpiece.” The scar on his face smooths and his features morph, adding to the pain and the screams. “You are not a tool forged from suffering.” Patterns grow over his skin and his nails lengthen into claws. “You are merely a vessel, an innocent mask to make the foolish drop their guard. You are nothing but an echo of me, an empty vessel. And you will always be a nothing.”

When the fire subsided, the ragged beggar was gone. In his place knelled a handsome young man, dressed in black, wearing a long black coat, his eyes now yellow instead of blue, the ugly scar on his face gone, replaced by the patterns that marked Gwi-ma's favorites.

Gwi-ma speaks aloud: “You are an infant, from now on your name will be Baby. You will know no other name. Now leave!”

Jinu, bowing: “Yes master.”

Abby, bowing: “As you wish”

Baby, still knelling: “Yes master.”

Jinu flinched as Abby was roughly pushed by Gwi-ma's will, causing Abby to fall from the throne to the ground and skid along the dirt.

Gwi-ma: “And take your dog with you.”

Jinu flinched again as Baby was flung from the throne just like Abby, causing the two of them to collide in the dirt.

Gwi-ma: “And Jinu...”

Jinu froze mid stride, an icy spike of fear chilling his insides.

Gwi-ma: “... I'm watching you.”

Jinu fought to keep his posture straight and not let his shoulders slump with relief as he continued descending the steps.

Chapter 4

Keeping him obsessed

(Abby, Baby and Jinu)

Abby waited impatiently for Jinu to reach them. As soon as he got in arms reach, Abby grabbed Baby by the back of the neck and placed a hand on Jinu’s shoulder. With a flash of his patterns, they were gone from Gwi-ma’s throne room and back outside Abby’s house. 

Abby: “Welcome home.” he said as he shoved Baby towards the door.

Baby: “Hey!” he protested and took two steps forward, just enough to arrest his momentum before turning around to face Abby. “Watch it big guy.”

Abby: “Ooooh, aren’t you a tough little demon.” he smirked and winked at Baby.

Baby launched himself at Abby, claws extended, ready to draw blood. It wasn’t his first fight against a larger opponent. He did it before in the streets. Instead of meeting Abby full on, he lowered himself into a sliding crouch and managed to land two cuts with his claws on Abby’s thigh. He continued the slide until he was out of Abby’s reach, then leaped to his feet. Looking back at a shocked Abby, Baby licked at the blood on his claws. “Interesting..” he muttered as he tasted the blood.

It was hard to tell who was more shocked: Abby or Jinu. They both stared at Baby, then looked at each other.

Jinu shrugged: “It’s your pet, don’t expect me to train him.”

Abby growled: “You little piece of ungrateful shit. Come here.”

Baby giggled: “Why? So you can get your big hands on me and teach me a lesson?”

Abby rushed at Baby, but Baby was there one second and behind Abby in the next. Abby turned around with murder in his eyes. Baby giggled again and blew a raspberry at Abby. Again Abby tried to grab Baby but he was too fast and by some miracle, Baby managed to slice Abby once more. Seeing this situation escalate, Jinu slowly backed away, not wanting to get involved with what was to come. He grabbed his bipa from the base of the dead tree and hopped on to the lowest branch. He would have a good vantage point from there.

Baby and Abby played “catch me if you can” for a while, until Abby managed to land a blow on Baby that sent him flying through the door and inside the house. He stomped inside himself, casting a warning look up at Jinu before slamming the door shut.

Baby laid slumped against the back wall. A trickle of blood was coming from behind his right ear. But he wasn't dead, demons didn't die that easily. However Abby was determined to test the limits of demonic endurance. He grabbed Baby by the front of his shirt and lifted him up. When Baby gave no sign of awareness, Abby shook him hard. “Wake up dog, I have no time for your games.”

Baby opened his eyes and for a second he panicked, but then he remembered he was no longer a hopeless boy. “You got me, now what?”

Abby: “Right now I'm leaning towards killing you.”

Baby smiled : “You don't want to kill me.”

Abby snarled, wrapped his hand around Baby's throat and began to squeeze hard. He was going to do it. After all, Gwi-ma gave him this creature as a pet. He could do whatever he wanted with it.

Baby couldn't get enough air to speak properly but he managed to gasp the words out: “You… don't… want… to….because…” he reached a shaky hand towards Abby's crotch and traced it along his cock “...you…want…” Baby's eyes rolled back in his head and he went limp again. 

Abby frowned and released the hold on his neck. He used one hand to keep Baby upright and the other to slap his cheek.

Baby blinked back to awareness and smiled a creepy smile that gave Abby pause. Without any preamble, Baby dropped to his knees in front of Abby, his hands already working at his belt. Once he freed Abby's cock from his pants, he looked Abby in the eyes and continued, this time without having to fight for air. “...because you want me on my knees choking on your cock, don't you? You want me to look into your eyes when you coat my throat with your cum”.

Abby's cock stiffened and he looked down at Baby with a mix of wonder and disgust. He was being pathetic, giving himself up like that. Such easy prey wasn't worth… Abby interrupted his own thoughts with a gasp of pleasure and surprise. Baby was swallowing almost his entire cock. “Fuck” he groaned aloud and tangled both his hands in Baby's hair.

Baby felt Abby's hold on him and braced for a rough throat fuck, but it didn't happen. Abby was letting him control the situation. He slid the tip of Abby's cock in and out of his throat, sometimes having to stifle a cough or a gag. He kept his eyes locked on Abby's face the entire time. Baby tested Abby’s hold on him by moving his head back and letting Abby’s cock drop out of his mouth. He watched it bounce slightly  and licked his lips then spat on Abby’s cock before hungryly taking it back in his mouth.

Abby moaned and tightened his grip on Baby’s hair. He held Baby’s head still and began to thrust in his mouth. For his part, Baby kept his lips sealed tight and Abby moaned softly each time his cock hit the back of Baby’s throat. It felt so good, he could barely hold it together. His moans grew louder. He had to stop.

Abby: “You’re a dirty little demon aren’t you?” . He slid his cock out of Baby’s mouth and stroked it slowly.

Baby: “As naughty as you want me to be.” his eyes flicked to Abby’s cock for a moment then back up at him.

Abby smiled: “You like having my cock in your mouth, don’t you.”  

Baby: “Yes, please let me have more.”

Abby: “Fuck, you’re such a fucking freak. Come here, suck on the tip.” He guided Baby’s head forward, allowing him to take the tip of his cock in his mouth. He held Baby in place with one hand and pumped his other hand along his shaft, faster and faster.

Baby locked his lips around Abby’s cock and used his tongue to draw circles, flicking it over the slit to taste the building precum.

Abby’s strokes became faster and faster and he couldn’t control his grunting any longer. “Fuck I’m close…” he gasped and pull Baby off his cock. “Open your mouth.”

Baby opened his mouth and stuck his tongue out, ready to receive Abby’s cum. It was hot and salty and one jet missed and landed on his cheek. Abby looked down at him like a predator looking at a tasty meal. That look caused Baby to shiver with desire and his cock throbbed so hard he was worried he wouldn’t be able to control himself.

Abby pulled Baby to his feet and gathered the cum on his cheek with a finger then smeared it over Baby’s lips. “You’re so fucking hot.” he growled and kissed Baby hard, walking him backward until he slammed him into the wall. One hand tangled in Baby’s hair and kept him locked in the kiss and his other hand slid inside Baby’s pants and wrapped around his cock.

Abby’s grip was tight and his strokes fast. Baby’s hands grabbed Abby’s shirt and tried to pull him closer. Muffled moans escaped from between their locked lips. It felt so good, the pleasure was filling the void inside him, building and building and building…

Abby felt Baby’s cock swell and throb and released him from the kiss. In a growling voice he commanded: “Cum for me Baby, cum.” .

Baby was overfilled with pleasure as his cum shot out. He didn’t realize he let out a scream and then he knew nothing more.

Abby clumsily caught Baby in his arms. “Hey are you ok?” he tried to look at his face, but Babby’s head was slumped and lolling from side to side.

A moment later, Jinu appeared in the doorway. “What’s going on?”  

Abby: “I don’t know, help me get him on the bed.”

Jinu went to the bed and pulled aside the blanket as Abby lifted Baby in his arms like he would a real baby and placed him gently on the bed.

They both stared down at Baby for a moment.

Jinu: “So what happened?”

Abby: “Told you I have no idea. One moment he was fine and the next he was like this.”

Jinu shot a side glance at Abby: “So you didn’t knock him around too hard or anything?”

Abby huffed: “I didn’t.”  

Time passed. Abby and Jinu took turns looking in on Baby. They had made him as comfortable as possible, removing his coat and boots. At first he was still like a statue but over time he began to moan as if in pain. It got worse with time, moans turning into twitches and spasms. Neither Jinu or Abby knew what to do.

Abby sat in a chair next to the bed, his elbows resting on his knees, staring blankly at the floor. Jinu was perched on the edge of the bed next to Baby. The eerie noises caused by the dead tree outside mixed with Baby’s moans and cries.

Baby’s patterns flashed and he inhaled a sharp breath, like a drowning man finally reaching the surface. He clutched at his shirt, as if to rip it away and panted, his eyes open wide but unseeing.

Jinu: “Are you alright?” he struggled to get a hold of Baby and calm him down. “It’s ok, calm down, calm down.”

Abby crouched next to the bed and tried to place a hand on the now combative Baby. “Relax, everything is fine.”

The trashing eventually stopped, Baby coming to his senses. He lifted himself in a sitting position and looked around, first at Jinu and then at Abby. “I’m fine.”

Jinu: “You weren’t fine a minute ago, what happened?”

Baby tried to smile: “Everything is fine now.”

Abby: “Was it the voices?”

Baby shook his head and looked down. In a small voice that didn’t seem to belong to him  he whispered one word: “Worse.”

Abby and Jinu exchanged glances, then Abby moved to kneel behind Baby. He wrapped his arms around him and pulled him against his chest. Baby didn’t resist, he just kept his head bowed. Jinu moved closer and lifted Baby’s chin with a finger. “It’s ok, you’re ok.” he whispered softly and pressed his lips against Baby’s. At first Baby just stood there, unmoving, but when Jinu’s tongue tried to part his lips he gave in. Slowly, the kiss began to form.

Jinu cupped Baby’s face with both hands, pressing harder into the kiss. Baby tangled a hand in Jinu’s shirt and held on, not allowing him to back off.

Abby smiled and placed a soft kiss on the back of Baby’s neck, then stood up and began to undress. He draped his coat over the back of the chair, then he sat down and removed his boots. His shirt landed on the floor but he remained sitting, watching the scene before him.

Baby was wrapped in a cloud of confusion. The only thing he could be certain of right now was the feeling of Jinu's lips against his. When that feeling suddenly vanished he opened his eyes expecting all of it to have been an illusion. Instead he saw Jinu pull his shirt off over his head and then reach and do the same to him. With the clothing out of the way their lips reconnected with more intensity than before. 

It only lasted a few moments and then Baby found himself laying on his back. Jinu deftly unbuckled and pulled off Baby's pants then did the same with his. Then he was upon Baby, straddling him, their cock touching. Jinu leaned over Baby and began kissing his neck while grinding against him.

Baby moaned without realising it and tangled a hand in Jinu's hair. His entire body tingled pleasantly, the feeling of Jinu's cock sliding against his was so teasing. He looked over to where Abby was sitting and reached his free hand towards him.

Abby joined them in bed, naked, and took Baby's outstretched hand. With his other hand he pushed on Jinu’s shoulder, guiding him down towards Baby's cock. Jinu obeyed and Baby gasped as Jinu began to place soft kisses on the most sensitive parts of Baby’s groin.

Abby: “Come here.” he tugged lightly at Baby's hand to get him moving “Both of you.” When Jinu disentangled himself, Abby pulled Baby with his back against his broad chest and wrapped an arm tightly around his waist. Abby’s cock settled against Baby’s ass and grinded his hips slowly. Jinu came closer and took Baby’s cock in one hand and used his other to cup his balls, then resumed his kiss.

Abby looked at them for a moment then interrupted their kiss by placing a hand on Baby’s jaw and forcing his head up and back, causing Baby to arch his back. Abby pressed his lips against Baby’s ear: “Do you want this?” he punctuated the question by pressing his cock harder between Baby’s cheeks.

Baby: “Yes…”

Abby: “Are you sure?”

“Baby: “Yes…”

Abby hesitated for a split second, unsure about what he was about to do, but then shrugged and pushed Baby’s face into Jinu’s shoulder. “Hold him” he told Jinu and began to rub the tip of his cock over Baby’s entrance.

Jinu let go of Baby’s cock and used one hand to cup Baby’s cheek and the other to play with his hair.

Baby rested his head against Jinu’s shoulder and took deep, slow breaths. “Fuck” he cried out in protest at the discomfort caused by Abby’s cock slidding inside him. He tried to pull away from Abby, but he and Jinu held him in place. 

Jinu hugged Baby tighter to his chest and whispered: “Shhhh..”

Baby struggled feebly for a bit, but Abby's slow thrust turned the discomfort into pleasure. Baby let out a small gasp each time Abby's cock pushed inside him. It was barely reaching the spot that sent tingles through Baby’s body. He wanted more. When Abby's next thrust came, Baby pushed against it, trying to get Abby's cock deeper.

Abby felt Baby relax and slapped his ass playfully: “Good boy. Now… be the dirty little demon I know you are and show Jinu what you can do.” When Baby was too slow to move, Abby grabbed him roughly by the hair and pulled him flush against his body. “I said, be a dirty little demon and suck Jinu's cock. I want to see you swallow it. Do it.” he growled angrily at Baby and pushed his face back into Jinu’s shoulder. 

That got through to Baby’s foggy mind. He pushed a startled Jinu back and bent his head down to do as commanded. 

Jinu gasped as Baby took his cock in his mouth. He tangled both hands in Baby's hair and let out a moaned “Fuuuuuuck” and a sharper “Fuck” when Baby swallowed his whole cock. The tight feeling of Baby’s throat around the tip of his cock was amazing. It got more intense when Baby fought against gagging and the muscles of his throat massaged Jinu's cock. “Fuck Baby you're going to make me cum.” 

Abby: “Look at me Jinu, I want to see your face when you cum.”

Jinu looked at Abby and the sight of the big demon holding on to Baby’s hips and thrusting in him pushed him over the edge. He gasped short and fast as Baby fought to swallow his cum without choking. This made Jinu twitch and moan harder, his hands made fists in Baby's hair, pulling hard.

Abby: ”Yes. Just like that. “ he purred and ran one hand back and forth along Baby’s back. “You're a dirty little demon that wants all his holes filled aren’t you?”.

Baby released Jinu's cock from his mouth and took deep breaths. 

Jinu let go of Baby hair and cupped his chin instead. He lifted Baby until he was against Abby again, then reached his other hand and wrapped it around Baby cock.

Baby could only gasp and take short breaths as the veil of fog lifted off his mind, replaced with raw pleasure. Abby's now short hard thrust inside him, Jinu's quick strokes on his cock and the delicious taste of Jinu's cum in his mouth conspired to tip him over the edge. As he got closer and closer his gasps turned into a chant of “Yes… yes… yes” louder and louder.

Abby felt Baby tense up and smiled like a predator. He placed his thumb over Baby lips to silence his now desperate cries for release and whispered to him “Cum Baby, cum.”

Baby shuddered as his cum exploded over Jinu's hand. He reached back with both hands and dug his claws into Abby's thighs. The waves of pleasure rolling through him made his body twitch and buck against Abby's hold.

Abby: ”Yes… yes like that, such a good boy.” . It was his turn now. Lust took control and he pushed Baby face down on the bed “like the dog that he is.” he thought, then began to pound him, holding on to his hips. The sound of flesh slapping against flesh mixed with Baby’s cries, but he didn't try to pull away. “ That's right..” Abby growled as his dick throbbed at Baby's display of submission “...take my cock up your ass.”

Baby reached for Jinu's hand and squeezed it as Abby fucked him hard. He could feel Abby's cock swell inside him. “Please cum inside me.” he moaned and in the next moment he felt Abby pump his load inside him.

Abby: ”Fucking hell” he gasped and held tight to Baby’s hips. He took deep breaths, enjoying the waves of pleasure. When it passed he slapped Baby’s ass and leaned over to ruffle his hair. “You're feeling better I see.”

Baby looked back at Abby and smiled his creepy smile. 

Jinu let out an amused huff: “You two are adorable.”

Abby chuckled and disentangled himself from Baby, then laid down on his side. He reached for Baby and pulled him over with his back against him, wrapping an arm around his waist. Jinu cleaned his hand and laid down facing Baby and Abby. He took one of Baby’s wrists gently in his hand and used his thumb to rub soothing circles in Baby’s palm.

Jinu’s and Abby’s gazes locked on each other over the top of Baby’s head and they stood like that, unmoving, until Baby’s breathing grew deep and slow as he fell asleep. Jinu was the next one to fall asleep.

Chapter 5

Sweet nothings

(Baby and Jinu)

Time passed in the murky way it always did in the underworld. Jinu descended the stone steps leading to Baby’s new lair. Nothing could be made in this realm, only unmade. Nothing could be fixed, only broken. Yet somehow Baby willed an entire new chamber under their house. Only once Abby asked how it was possible and the answer was a shrug from Baby.

When he reached the bottom of the stairs Jinu looked around. The chamber was large, walls, ceiling and floor made of the same cut stone blocks and it was empty with the exception of a large bed and a wall sized mirror in a corner. The mirror was a true miracle in the underworld. They were all broken, yet somehow Baby had an intact one and a large one at that.

Baby stood between the bed and the mirror, wearing only his pants, staring at his reflection. When he heard Jinu’s footsteps he looked at him in the mirror.

Baby: “What do you want?”

Jinu: “Nothing. Just bored.”

Baby: “Is Abby still away?”

Jinu: “Yes, he hasn’t returned yet.”

Baby huffed and looked away from Jinu’s reflection and back at his own.

Jinu: “What are you doing?”

Baby: “Nothing.”

Jinu paced around the empty room, examining the identical stonework. The awkward silence stretched, becoming uncomfortable. Jinu broke first.

Jinu: “This is impressive.”

Baby: “It’s just a room,  it's nothing.”

Jinu: “It’s not nothing, this is special. Making new things here is impossible.”

Baby: “Obviously not.”

Jinu: “You must be special.”

Baby glanced at Jinu, then back at his reflection in the mirror.

Baby: “I am nothing.”

Baby’s voice was so flat and emotionless when he spoke those words, it startled Jinu.

Jinu: “Come on, don’t be so dramatic.”

Baby: “It is what it is. I am what I am. I asked for this.”

Jinu: “I remember.” he chuckled thinking back to their first meeting. When Baby remained silent, Jinu moved to stand behind him. “You’re not nothing. Look at yourself. ”. Jinu placed his hands on Baby’s shoulders, then slowly ran them up and down his arms while he spoke. “Your body is so lean and strong now…. You’re not being held back by your mortal condition… You’re fast and deadly …and beautiful.” Jinu softly ran the back of one hand over the place on Baby’s cheek where the ugly scar used to be. “You are special.” Their eyes met in the mirror. Baby didn’t say anything, but he covered Jinu’s hand with his.

Jinu brought his lips next to Baby’s ear and whispered: “You are special to me.”

Baby’s posture stiffened but he remained silent.

Jinu placed soft kisses on Baby’s shoulder and the back of his neck between words. “Abby and I…we carry so much…so many memories…we are bound…with so many chains… But with you…there is nothing to break…you are special… ” Baby huffed in disbelief at Jinu’s words. Jinu continued, still placing kisses on his neck. “Think about it…you call it nothing…you call it emptiness…but it is a blank canvas… You’re free…not weighed down…that makes you special…and powerful. ”

At that, Baby turned around and shoved Jinu backwards, landing him on the bed that was just behind them. He climbed on top of him, straddling his hips. “Am I?” he asked, his demon eyes glowing.

Jinu lifted himself on his elbows: “Yes you are.”

Baby: “AM I?” he shouted and pushed Jinu back down. He leaned over him, bringing their faces inches from each other and bowled his first in Jinu’s shirt. “AM I?” he shouted again, giving Jinu a little shake.

Jinu: “You are special and powerful and I want you so fucking bad right now. Kiss me.”

Baby launched into a hard kiss. Jinu responded with the same intensity. Baby held on to Jinu’s shirt with both hands while Jinu grabbed Baby’s hips and guided them in a slow grind.

When Baby broke the kiss and sat back upright, Jinu also lifted himself in a sitting position. His hands slid to Baby’s ass, pulling him closer. Jinu tried to kiss him again but Baby pulled out of reach.

Baby: “Say it.”

Jinu: ”I want you.” He tried to reach for Baby but he still wouldn’t give in. “You have all the power here, what do you want from me?”

Baby smiled his evil smile and kissed Jinu forcefully, biting on his lower lip and drawing blood. “Interesting…” he mumbled into the kiss as he tasted Jinu’s blood. Jinu uttered a muffled protest but Baby didn’t let him go. When Jinu struggled against his hold, Baby grabbed his wrists and pinned them to either side of Jinu’s head. “Sit still.” He looked at Jinu for a moment then released his wrists and began unbuckling his pants. Jinu tried to grab Baby, but Baby repeated the motion and pinned Jinu’s wrists against the bed. “I said sit still.” he looked into Jinu’s eyes for a long moment then slowly let go. This time Jinu didn’t move so Baby resumed work on Jinu’s pants. “If you keep interrupting, how am I supposed to take care of your cock, hmm?” he asked and punctuated the question with a roll of his hips. “I can feel how hard you are. Let me fix it.”

Jinu: “You’re such a fucking tease.”

Baby: “Me?” he asked innocently while freeing Jinu’s cock. “Here I was, minding my own business” he pouted and began stroking Jinu. “Being all serious and brooding. And then here you are, whispering sweet nothings in my ear.” he smiled at Jinu and increased the speed of his strokes, then he leaned over and whispered “Tell me, who’s the tease?”

This time Baby got too close. Jinu grabbed him and rolled over, changing places. He smiled down at Baby as he straddled him and began unbuckling his pants. “It’s not sweet nothings, Baby.” he looked Baby straight in the eyes as he wrapped his hand around both their cocks.

Baby gasped softly at the sensation and closed his eyes, surrendering to the feeling of Jinu’s strokes. “Liar” he whispered so softly Jinu barely heard it.

Jinu took hold of Baby’s arm and pulled him in a sitting position. 

Baby groaned in protest: “Come on, do it or let me do it.”

Jinu took Baby’s right hand and placed it on his cock then wrapped his own right hand around Baby’s. With his other hand he cupped Baby’s chin and forced him to look at him. “You are pure potential, more powerful than you know.” He began to move his hand up Baby’s shaft, his palm doing a circle over the tip of his cock, then back down, all the way to the end, then slowly back up, over the tip and down again. ”You’re not fighting against anything”   he continued stroking Baby’s cock with slow and long movements. Baby gasped and began returning the favor to Jinu.

When Baby’s breathing quickened, Jinu continued in a soft voice: “You can become anything.” . Baby moaned loudly and let his head fall forward, against Jinu’s chest. Jinu released Baby’s chin and ran his fingers through Baby’s hair. Another slow stroke of Baby’s cock, and another, he could feel Baby’s sharp intake of breath each time he glided his palm over the tip of Baby’s cock. Jinu smiled to himself and changed his slow strokes to quick movements over the head of Baby’s throbbing cock. “Embrace your new power.”

Baby: “Fuck!.” he cried out, barely controlling himself. He made a fist in Jinu’s hair with his left hand and pulled him into a hard kiss. With his right hand he stroked Jinu’s cock, his movements growing more and more erratic as he got closer to cumming. When he broke the kiss he growled at Jinu: “You’re a fucking liar. A silver tongued bard.” They looked at each other for a second then kissed hard again.

Jinu broke the kiss next: “Is that what I am to you?” then the frantic kiss resumed. 

Baby: “I don’t know. I don’t know.” he panted. “Fuck, fuck, fuck.” 

Jinu wanted to tease Baby more, but Baby’s desperate strokes on his cock together with his panting were pushing him over the edge. He took short, sharp breaths again and again and again as he felt his muscles tighten. With a long exhale that turned into a moan he shot ribbons of cum over Baby’s hand and belly.

Baby felt Jinu cum and wrapped his hand over Jinu’s, guiding his strokes. It felt so fucking good. Whenever Jinu whispered poisoned words to him, it sent an electric tingle of pleasure up and down his body. It was all too much. When Jinu’s lips pressed against his in a desperate kiss, Baby lost control. His cock pumped cum over both their hands and then nothingness took over.

Jinu giggled as Baby slumped against him. “What the fuck was this? Some weird sort of hate fuck?” . When Baby didn’t answer, Jinu tried to lift him up. “Hey, are you ok?” No answer came. “Hey, Baby.” he shook him hard. Still nothing. “Not again” thought Jinu as he laid Baby on the bed. It was just like before. And this time there was no Abby to bring him back to his senses. “Fuck.” he groaned aloud as he cleaned up their mess then paced the room.

Just like before, Baby was still for a while. Unlike before, instead of writhing in pain, Baby began to laugh like a mad man, his eyes open but rolled in the back of his head, only the whites showing.

Abby returned to find Jinu sitting against the dead tree outside the house. He walked up to him, but when Jinu didn’t react, he kicked his foot. “Hey, what’s up with you?”

Jinu was startled: ”Hey, you’re back.”

Abby: “Yes, I’m back. What’s with the gloom and doom?”

Jinu: “Baby is gone again.”

Abby: “Gone? Where?”

Jinu scoffed: “Not gone gone. He’s in that weird trance again or whatever that was before when he first got here.”

Abby: “What did you do?”

Jinu: ”Nothing. It just happened again.”

Abby’s hand shot out and wrapped around Jinu’s throat so fast, Jinu had no time to react. He lifted Jinu off the ground so they were at eye level. Jinu struggled to free himself. Abby growled: “What did you do?”

Jinu wanted to reply but he had no air to do it with.

Abby growled again: “We don’t have time for this.” and threw Jinu to the ground. He turned to go down to Baby’s basement but stopped. Baby was at the top of the stairs, looking at the two of them with a smirk.

Baby: “Very impressive display of aggression.” he clapped slowly, mockingly.

Abby looked at Baby then at Jinu, then back at Baby: “So you’re fine then?”

Baby: “Never been better. Thank you for the pain Jinu.” he sketched a mock salute with two fingers towards Jinu.

Abby looked at Jinu with murder in his eyes: “You and I are going to talk about this later. Now come, we have a task.”

Chapter 6

The Concubine

(Romance ends up in hell)

(Abby/Babby/Jinu)

Abby, Jinu and Baby crouched atop a three storey building. The night was dark, with clouds obscuring the moon and stars. In their long black coats and wide brim black hats they were almost invisible except for their yellow eyes. From their vantage point they could see inside the palace grounds. But that was all they could do. The grounds were warded with powerful magic that repelled every attempt they made to get inside.

Baby sighed: ”Are you sure that's what Gwi-ma wants us to do?”.

Abby growled: ”Yes”

Baby: ”Steal the king's concubine?” His voice was incredulous.

Abby gritted his teeth in frustration. This was the third time Baby asked the same thing.

Jinu: ”Just keep watching, she'll show herself eventually. We're not in a hurry.”

Abby gave Jinu a dirty look. He was in a bit of a hurry to heap some well deserved punishment on Jinu. But he was right, all they could do was wait and watch.

The palace's windows glowed with warm candle light and they could clearly see the people moving about. They pointed out various figures they thought might be the concubine but they couldn't be sure. There were many beautiful young women around the palace.

Baby: ”Who is that?” he pointed at one of the upper floor windows where a young man was fussing over his light pink hair.

Jinu and Abby looked at where Baby was pointing and squinted.

Jinu: ”He's not the king is he? Too young for that.”

Baby: ”He is gorgeous….”

Abby reached a hand over to Baby to close his jaw. “What are you doing?”

Baby recovered from his moment of weakness over whoever that young man was just in time to witness the king walk behind him and wrap his arms around the young man's waist. 

Baby: ”No way….”

Abby: ”What in the…?”

Baby: ”He's the concubine?”

They continued watching as the king and his concubine began kissing and undressing each other. After a while Jinu shifted uncomfortably then stood up. 

Abby glanced at Jinu, then at Baby whose jaw was slack again, and sighed heavily. “What is wrong with the two of you?

Jinu muttered an unintelligible excuse while Baby just continued staring at the display. The young man was facing out the window, his hands on the ledge while the king stood behind him, slapping his ass. For a second, the young man's eyes locked with Abby's and Abby's mind filled with images of the young man face down over his lap, softly whimpering as Abby's hand left red marks on his back side.

Abby groaned as his cock twitched. He followed Jinu’s example and stood up. “He’s the one Gwi-ma wants. Just need to get to him.”

Jinu: “You think the wards are for his protection?”

Abby: “Could be. But important places usually have some sort of defence. Although this isone of the strongest wards I’ve seen.”

Jinu: “Demons being hidden from Gwi-ma’s sight, now mortals being protected from his will? There must be something else going on.”

Abby frowned in thought. Baby, still staring at the palace window, muttered: “The shaman.”

Abby snapped his head around to look at him: “What did you say?”

Baby absentmindedly said again: “The shaman.”

Abby: “That’s it!” he spat with anger and took a hold of both Baby and Jinu. With a flash of his patterns, they were gone from the roof and in an alley. “Grab a hold of yourselves. What are you, virgin maidens?” he looked at each of them in turn. Jinu shifted awkwardly again and Baby still had a glazed look on his face. Abby mentally rolled his eyes at this pathetic display.

Baby whispered: “Please be mean to me Abby.” and reached out a hand towards him.

Abby: “Is that what you want?” he pushed Baby against the alley wall and held him in place with a forearm over his chest. “Hmm? Speak!”

Baby: “Get him out of my head.”

Abby: “Oooh I’ll get him out of your head, don’t worry.” He reached out behind him and grabbed Jinu by his arm. “And you, get over here.” he roughly guided Jinu against the wall next to Baby. “Do you need to get off to clear your head?” he placed his palm over Jinu’s bulge, finding him hard as well.

Jinu: “I don’t.. I” he stammered.

Abby placed a finger over Jinu’s lips: “Shhhh… You don’t talk, don’t move, don’t cum, don’t do fucking anything until I tell you to.” he then pulled Baby around with his back to him, facing Jinu. Abby’s clawed finger ran up and down Baby’s cheek. “This little demon here, he’s going to suck your cock. I’ll make sure he does it right. As for you… remember what I said, don’t do anything.” Abby placed his lips next to Baby’s ear and whispered: “Now get on your knees.” He felt Baby shiver and Abby couldn’t help a smile.

Baby lowered himself to his knees and Abby followed him down, crouching next to him. As Baby began to free Jinu’s cock, Abby tipped Baby’s hat back with a flick of a finger. Jinu’s cock was like a coiled spring and it bounced slightly once released from his pants. Baby licked his lips and took Jinu’s cock in his mouth, then tried to turn enough to look at Abby.

Abby spoke in a gentle voice despite the feral smile on his face: “No, no, don’t look at me, look at him. It’s his cock in your mouth. I’m just making sure you’re being good and taking it all the way in.”

Abby’s words caused Baby to moan and Jinu gasped as vibrations went through his cock. Abby chuckled and ran his fingers through Baby’s hair as the smaller demon bobbed his head back and forth just enough to have Jinu’s cock slide in and out of his throat with each movement. Abby watched with hooded eyes as Baby swallowed Jinu’s cock again and again. Jinu’s hand had ended up on Abby’s shoulder and his fingers were digging deep into his muscles. Abby glanced up at Jinu and saw he was resting his head against the wall, face towards the sky, eyes closed and his chest was heaving with short breaths. He looked back at Baby and spoke gently: “You’re so fucking sexy with a cock in your mouth.”.

Baby moaned and Jinu’s grip on Abby’s shoulder became painful. Abby leaned towards Baby and ran his tongue up his cheek. “Just delicious.” Baby tried to gasp but it caused him to choke and Jinu let out a cry. Abby looked at both of them in turn, then took Baby’s chin in his hand and moved him away from Jinu’s cock. “Breathe.” He slapped Jinu’s hand off his shoulder and looked up at him: “You too Jinu, breathe.” Looking back at Baby, he watched the strands of saliva stretching between Jinu’s cock and his lips and growled. “You’re so damn hot.” He kissed Baby hard, licking his lips and tasting Jinu’s salty precum. When he pulled back from the kiss he looked at Baby again and almost lost control. Instead he growled again: “The things I want to do to you, my little demon.”

Images flashed through Abby’s mind and he struggled to get a hold of himself. He held Baby’s gaze for a long moment then took a deep breath. He stood up and reached a hand for Baby: “Come on, get up.” When Baby got to his feet, Abby pushed him against Jinu. Baby braced himself against the wall with his hands to either side of Jinu’s head. Jinu opened his eyes and looked at Baby. Baby’s eyes were full of lust. Jinu let out a moaned: “Fuuuuckk..”

Abby let out an evil chuckle and swiped Baby’s coat aside. “Be useful Jinu, hold this.” Jinu took a moment but then held Baby’s coat to the side as ordered. Abby unbuckled and pulled down Baby’s pants then slapped his ass hard, the sound echoing in the night. Baby flinched but didn’t move. Abby pressed himself against Baby and reached between him and Jinu. One hand wrapped around Jinu’s cock causing him to gasp. Abby stroked Jinu’s cock slowly, running his fingers over the top and coating them with Baby’s saliva, then let go, causing Jinu to moan in protest.

Abby ran his wet fingers over Baby’s entrance causing him to shift from foot to foot. With his other hand, Abby slapped Baby’s ass again then took one of his arms from the wall and placed it on his ass cheek. “Be a good boy and hold your ass open for me.” When Baby mimicked the gesture on the other side Abby smiled: “Such a good boy, now hold still.” Abby rubbed the head of his cock slowly against Baby’s entrance then lined it up and pushed gently. 

Baby cried out and buried his face in Jinu’s shoulder. Jinu ran his free hand through Baby’s hair in an attempt to soothe him. A few more muffled cries escaped as Abby pushed deeper inside him. Abby spoke gently: “You’re always so tight, but you take me in like a good boy. I’m so proud of you.” . Both Baby and Jinu moaned and Abby’s cock twitched with pleasure. He pulled almost all the way out then pushed slowly all the way in, deep, slow thrusts, until he felt Baby relax.

Abby: ”Now listen both of you. Neither of you are allowed to cum until I tell you to. If you have no self control, I will teach you self control. Do you understand?” When only silence answered him he growled at them: “Do you understand?”

Jinu: “Yes, yes”

Baby: “Yes Abby.”

Abby: “Good, now come here.” Abby took  two steps backwards, pulling Baby along with him, when pushed him down towards Jinu’s cock. Baby went to work and Abby began to thrust inside him. Abby wanted to hold back his wild instincts but when Baby moved his hand and tried to reach for his cock, Abby reconsidered. He grabbed Baby’s wrist and placed his hand back on his ass. “Spread your ass cheeks for me, don’t make me say it again.” Abby glanced down at Baby and frowned: “And arch your back.” he pressed his palm against Baby’s lower back until Baby did as he wanted. “Good.” Abby purred then slapped the side of Baby’s ass, where his hand wasn’t covering it. “That’s how I want you every time you take my cock in your ass.” . Another slap landed on Baby’s backside. Then Abby grabbed on to Baby’s hips and began to thrust hard and deep.

Baby grunted or gasped with every thrust from Abby, causing Jinu to moan louder and louder and roll his head from side to side against the wall. 

Jinu made fists in Baby’s hair with both hands and tried to hold him still. He was so close to cumming and the feeling of Baby’s throat massaging his cock each time moaned or grunted was too much. He had to control himself but it was so hard.

Abby: “Let him suck you off, let go of him.” Abby’s smile was sadistic. He watched Jinu let go of Baby’s hair and dig his claws into the wall behind him. Baby shivered under Abby’s hands. He pushed his hips against Baby’s ass and at the same time pulled Baby towards him, going in deep with each thrust.

Jinu: “Fuck Abby, please let me cum, I can’t hold it.”

Abby: “Beg.”

Jinu locked eyes with Abby: “Please master, let me cum.”

At Jinu’s words Abby barely held it together. “Cum Jinu, let go and cum”

Jinu tangled his hands in Baby’s hair again and pushed his cock down his throat. He held Baby still as he shot his load down his throat. Baby tried to swallow but choked. His throat convulsed around Jinu’s cock, squeezing it. Jinu panted: “Yes… yes… yes.”

Abby: “Let go of him.” He wrapped an arm around Baby’s waist and pulled him up, against his chests. Still thrusting hard inside him, he allowed Baby to take a few breaths then closed his hand around Baby’s cock. “I’m going to fill your ass with my cum, do you want that?”

Baby nodded.

Abby: “You’re going to be a good boy and cum when I tell you.”

Another nod from Baby.

Abby: “You’re going to cum hard for me, and you’re going to milk every drip of my cum, understand?”

Baby managed a gasped: “Yes.”

Abby purred: ‘Good” . His hand stroked the top half of Baby’s cock fast. He felt Baby’s entire body tense up. He was close, Abby was also close. He wanted it to last longer but he also wanted the release. “Cum Baby, milk my cock.”

Baby cried out as he shot his load over Abby’s hand. His entire body trembled and twitched as waves of pleasure rolled through him. Abby lasted a few seconds longer then he also felt the pleasure of release, his cock pumping his cum inside Baby. He grunted and held on tightly to Baby, both arms wrapped around his chest, head resting on top of Baby’s. They both took deep breaths until the feeling passed.

Abby: “Damnit, this is a mess.”

Baby slowly raised one arm and snapped his fingers. A black handkerchief floated down slowly in front of Abby. Abby gave a grunt of approval and snatched it from the air. When the mess was cleaned up he pulled Baby’s pants up then shoved him roughly towards Jinu. Still unsteady on his feet, Baby almost tripped, but Jinu caught him and pulled him into a hug.

Abby looked at them both. So pathetic, huddled up like scared prey. No… not prey. His heart fluttered for a second. Not prey at all, they were his. He went over to them and wrapped them both in a hug. He placed a soft kiss on Jinu’s forehead and another on top of Baby’s head then let go of them. He looked them up and down. “Are you good now? Ready to be demons and not horny girls?”.

Unseen by anyone, a ripple of dark red energy spread from beneath their feet.

Baby chuckled and moved away from Jinu then put his hat back on. Jinu straightened himself and nodded.

Abby: “Good. Now about that shaman.”

With Baby’s help, they found him easily. Now it was a matter of waiting once again. The three of them crouched atop a building overlooking the alleyway that led to the shaman’s workshop. The early morning rays of sunlight didn’t reach their hiding spot as they spotted their mark. They waited for him to enter the alley then leaped from the rooftop.

Abby landed in front of the old man and Baby and Jinu behind him. The shaman tried to turn and run from Abby but was faced with the other two demons. “Wha.. wha… what do you want?” he stammered, making useless warding gestures against demons.

Abby looked at him from under the brim of his hat. “Answers.”

Shaman: “A.. a.. About?”

Abby: “The palace, it is warded, was it your doing?”

Shaman: “Yes.” A bit of defiance returned to his voice.

Abby: “Good… good.. So you can undo it.” It was not a question, it was a statement.

Shaman: “No, no! I am not setting that vile thing loose.”

Abby glanced at Jinu then looked back at the shaman. “You mean the king?”

Shaman: “No, that abomination that has the entire palace under its spell.”

Baby walked casually next to the shaman, startling the old man. “This tall..” he held his hand about where he judged the concubine’s height to be “... pink hair, looks like an angel?”

Shaman: “Yes, him.”

Abby and Baby exchanged looks, then both looked at Jinu. Jinu stepped to the other side of the old man, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. The old man flinched away, only to bump into Baby, who mirrored Jinu’s gesture.

Jinu: “What if we take him off your hands?”

Baby: “Permenantly.”

Jinu: “You’ll never see or hear from him again.”

Baby: “We’ll take him where he belongs.”

Jinu: “His debt is due.”

When the shaman didn’t reply for a long time, Abby added: “Or we can do it the hard way.”

A deal was struck shortly after. After dinner was held at the palace, but before the king would go visit his lover, the shaman would remove the ward. In return, the three of them would drag the concubine to hell.

For the third time that day, Abby, Jinu and Baby crouched atop a building. They could see most of the palace grounds from there. They were also keeping a close eye on the shaman who was preparing some sort of ceremony next to one of the palace wall service entrances.

Baby spotted the concubine first and pointed him out. He was walking alone through one of the palace’s gardens, hands behind his back, head bowed, looking miserable.

Abby: “Keep an eye on him. Going to let the shaman know it’s time.” With a flash of his patterns the vanished from the roof and appeared in front of the shaman, startling the old man. “It is time. Do it.” he ordered.

It didn’t take long for the ward to come down. As if sensing it, as soon as the ward was gone, the concubine lifted his head up and looked straight at Baby and Jinu. Jinu crooked a clawed finger in a “come here” gesture at the young man. He obeyed and moved towards them.

Jinu looked down to where Abby was standing and nodded once. Abby pulled hard on the service gate and ripped it off its hinges in an impressive feat of strength. Seeing the gate open the concubine rushed towards it. On seeing Abby standing there, he ran at him and wrapped him in a hug. Abby was so stunned by this, he just stood there, unmoving.

Concubine: “Thank you, thank you, thank you for rescuing me.” He looked up at Abby with earnest brown eyes.

Abby looked back at him with narrowed yellow eyes, but it seemed to have no effect on the young man. The shaman made a noise and when the young man saw him he hugged Abby tight again.

Concubine: “No, please, keep him away from me, he’s the one that imprisoned me.”

Abby wavered between laughing out loud at the stupidity of the situation and beating some sense into this weird young man. The choice was taken out of his hands by the arrival of Baby and Jinu.

Jinu: “I see you got him…”  

Baby: “Tight…”

They both burst out laughing and Abby joined them. The young man still clinging on to Abby frowned, then pointed an accusatory finger at the shaman: “He did this, I want him dead.”

All the demons stopped laughing. Jinu and Abby adopted a serious expression but Baby smiled his creepy smile and launched himself at the shaman. It was a fast kill. Baby landed behind the old man. The old man swayed for a second then his head fell off and rolled at the concubine’s feet.

Concubine: “Thank you.’ he winked at Baby and saw him take in a sharp breath. He smiled but it quickly turned into shock when Abby grabbed him by the shoulders and held him at arms length.

Abby: “Enough with this” he gave him a shake. “We’re going.” Baby and Jinu walked closer to Abby, preparing to be pulled into the underworld, but nothing happened. Abby frowned and then noticed the necklace the concubine was wearing. It was the same as the talisman the demon they tracked down when they found Baby was wearing. He ripped it off his neck with a sharp tug and a yelp of protest from the concubine and threw it to the ground then smashed it with his boot. “Now we’re going.”

As expected they landed hard atop the stone deas that served as Gwi-ma’s throne. The three demons got up and Abby grabbed the concubine by the back of his shirt, threw him to the floor and placed a boot on his back to keep him down.

Gwi-ma spoke aloud, its voice dripping with oily condescension: “Ahh, Romance. My hollow echo of human desire, my pretty lie. You’ve been hiding from me. But you’re finally here. Welcome….”

Abby backed away as swirling tongues of fire engulfed Romance. 

Romance screamed as the fire burned the demon markings into his skin. Gwi-ma’s voice ran in his head causing more than just physical pain. “Who are you Romance? You are merely a mirror, reflecting what others wish to see. You have no core, no true substance. You were born of nothing but superficial yearning and that is all you will ever be. A worthless imitation. The least important of my chosen. You exist only to reflect the desires of others and when they are gone so will you fade into the nothingness you truly are. Until then you will serve your only purpose.”

When the flames released him, Romance collapsed to the ground. Instead of the young man there was a fully fledged demon, even more beautiful than before if that was possible. Abby looked at him in disgust, then bent over, grabbed a fistfull of his coat and lifted him to his knees.

Gwi-ma: “You did good. Now go.”

Baby, Jinu and even Romance answered: “Yes master.”  

Abby bowed with his hand across his heart: “As you wish.” He braced for the inevitable rebuke, but instead he heard Gwi-ma’s voice in his head: “Don’t let him out of your sight. Guard him.” Then the throne room vanished and all four of them stood outside the fence that surrounded their house.

Chapter 7

Tainted Love

(Abby/Romance)

Brief introductions were made and then Abby banished Romance to the upstairs bedroom. Things got awkward after that and Baby retreated to his lair. Jinu sat slouched on the edge of the bed, resting his elbows on his thighs. Abby sat slumped in a chair, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Jinu: “We have to do something about him.”

Abby: “I know.”

Jinu: “Or he’ll be the death of us.”

Abby spoke through clenched teeth trying to control his anger: “I know…”

Jinu sighed: “I don’t want to fight.”

Abby rubbed his temples. “I am sure he’s doing it on purpose. Putting thoughts in our heads. I’ll take care of it.” He sat up then walked over to Jinu and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “Nothing is going to ruin this.” With a squeeze of Jinu’s shoulder, Abby turned around and walked up the stairs, determined to fix things one way or another.

When he reached the top of the stairs he found Romance sitting on the bed, hugging his knees to his chest and staring out the window.

Romance turned to look at Abby: “Oh, it’s you.” . He sounded disappointed.

Abby: “Who were you expecting?”

Romance: “I thought it would be Baby.”

Abby chuckled: “Not happening.”

Romance got up and walked slowly towards Abby, his movements elegant and alluring, his hips swinging like a model’s. “I’d had women, I’d had men, but I never had a demon.”

Abby raised a questioning eyebrow and crossed his arms over his chest.

Romance: “I don’t know what you like. I could guess…. But…it’s better if you show me.” . Slowly, he reached a hand and placed it on Abby’s forearm. 

Abby took in a sharp breath as images of Romance chained to a wall, Romance blindfolded and screaming, Romance face down on the ground with Abby’s boot on his back and many more flashed quickly through his mind. He watched in amazement as Romance’s clothes seemed to turn to mist and shift about him, resettling into a new outfit. Romance’s black demon look was gone. Instead, he was wearing leather pants, two thin leather straps wrapped around his waist and  two more around his left biceps. A collar without a leash encircled his throat and his wrists had wide leather bands around them.

Romance looked down and smiled. “I see.” he whispered and slowly lowered himself to his knees, trailing his hands along Abby’s body, then sat down on the floor and hugged Abby’s thigh, pressing and rubbing his cheek against it. “I can be your pet.”

Abby’s eyes flashed bright yellow and he uncrossed his arms. He looked down at Romance for a moment, then took a fistfull of his hair and roughly threw him to the floor. “Disgusting.”

Romance got to his hands and knees and began to crawl in a slow circle around Abby, moving graciously like a cat. “I can be whatever you want me to be.”

Abby followed him as much as he could without turning his head. When Romance got to his other side he made a purring noise that sent shivers of desire through Abby.

Romance: “Please tell me how I can serve you.” When he got in front of Abby, Romance stretched like a cat in heat, lifting his ass and lowering his head, then licked Abby’s boot and rubbed his cheek against it.

Whatever plans Abby had vanished and he found himself unwilling to attempt to control his urges. He kicked Romance hard in the ribs and sent him sprawling on his back. He took one menacing step towards him, then another, then placed one foot to either side of Romance’s chest. He sat down on his chest and pinned Romance’s arms with his knees, then placed  both palms on his cheeks.

Abby: “Why are you doing this?”

Romance struggled to inhale enough air to answer. “I’m not.”

Abby gently caressed Romance’s cheeks with his thumbs, but his voice was a dangerous growl: “You did just now, why?”

Romance: “I didn’t.”

Abby took Romance by the throat and sat up, lifting him along, then threw him face down on the bed. With demonic speed, he got up on top of Romance and wrapped an arm around his neck, placing him in a chokehold.

Abby: “Fucker.” he growled low and manacing in his ear. “Got any more funny answers?” He increased the pressure on Romance’s throat as a warning.

Romance gasped: “No.” and Abby allowed him to take a breath.

Abby: “Good. Now… will you be a good little whore and play nice?”

Romance tried to look up at Abby but couldn’t turn enough. He could feel Abby’s hot breath on the back of his neck and it gave him goosebumps. Romance wasn’t anyone’s whore but the insatiable hunger in Abby’s eyes, the idea of someone so wild having his way with him made him answer: “Yes.”

Abby: “Good… and if I let you go, are you going to sit still?”

Romance muttered: “Mhm.”

Abby repeated: “Good.”

Romance took deep breaths when Abby let him go and sat upright on his lower back. Free from Abby’s grip, Romance looked up and smiled at Abby. Abby didn’t return the smile, instead he stared down at Romance with glowing eyes and a look that made Romance’s heart speed up with fear. At that moment Romance knew that no matter if he agreed with whatever Abby wanted or not, it was going to happen regardless.

Abby ran his fingers gently through Romance’s hair and Romance replied with a purr. Abby’s voice was soft when he spoke, but his smile was feral: “It’s going to hurt. Can you handle it, pet?”

Romance shivered: “Yes.”

Abby continued playing with his hair and looked at Romance’s face a while longer, letting the silence stretch. Abby couldn’t quite tell what he saw, so he asked: “Do you want it to hurt?”

Romance just shook his head no.

Abby: “Are you sure? Don’t lie…to me or to yourself.”

Romance shook his head no again, confusing Abby. Abby grabbed Romance’s hair and pulled, lifting his face off the bed and causing him to arch his back. He leaned in and growled in his ear: “What do you want? Say it?”

Romance cried out: “I want you.”

Abby gave him a little shake: “And?”

Romance: “And I want you to hurt me.”

Abby let go of Romance, letting him fall back to the bed. He watched him take deep breaths, probably in an attempt to calm down. Fear… Abby loved the taste of fear and he enjoyed causing it even more. But fear wasn’t endless, it had to be created and for that there had to be calm first. When Romance’s back stopped heaving, Abby placed his hands on Romance’s shoulders and began to massage them gently. His cock twitched at the sounds of pleasure Romance was making.

Abby: “Alright.” he stood up and began removing his boots and pants. “Don’t move” he told Romance and slapped his ass for emphasis. Romance cried out and Abby’s cock twitched again. His cries were like music to Abby’s ears. Freed from his clothing, Abby slapped Romance's ass again, causing another cry. “Ass up” he commanded and Romance obeyed. Abby undressed Romance and was amazed. He thought his body looked good, but compared to Romance…he was nothing. Abby bit his lower lip in anticipation, then slapped Romance’s right cheek, leaving a red mark and causing a whimper. He hit him again, leaving another mark and when Romance whimpered, Abby couldn’t control himself anymore. He left two more palm prints on Romance’s ass before the younger demon tried to pull away.

Abby grabbed him by the hips and held him: “Stay still, pet.”

Romance’s whimper was muffled. He was biting down on his knuckles.

Abby: “Does it hurt too bad?”

Romance just nodded.

Abby ran a hand over the marks, then placed soft kisses over the now bruising surface. Romance flinched each time, but didn’t move.

Abby: “You’re such a good pet.” . One more kiss, then Abby pushed his ass down and  straddled Romance’s hips. His cock rested between his cheeks and Abby pressed them against his cock as he grinded his hips. “I want to hurt you” he whispered and Romance whimpered, “Are you going to let me?” .

Romance looked up at Abby when he answered: “Yes.”

Abby barely restrained a shiver when he saw the tears in Romance’s eyes. “Fuck” he growled and positioned his cock against Romance’s entrance. “You’re so fucking gorgeous like this.” When Romance whimpered again, Abby couldn’t take the teasing anymore. He pressed against Romance’s ass, increasing the pressure until the tip breached the entrance. Romance cried out and Abby placed a hand over his mouth to stifle the scream.

Romance looked up at Abby with wide yellow eyes and Abby delighted in the fear he saw. He leaned over Romance and whispered: “Be a good pet and take it.” then pressed Romance’s face into the sheets and began to thrust his hips.

Romance took deep breaths as Abby thrusted inside him. He had been with men before, but Abby was a different kind of beast. His cock was stretching his ass too much. He tried to cry out in pain but it was muffled. But the worst part was that his own traitorous cock was throbbing and demanding attention each time Abby growled at him.

Abby grunted with each thrust. Letting his urges take hold and it felt good. He looked down at his cock sliding in and out of Romance and shivered with delight. One harsh thrust caused Romance to lift his head and cry out aloud. He looked up at Abby with tears in his eyes and whimpered: “It hurts.”

Abby: “But you’re a good pet and you’ll do anything for your master, right?”

Romance nodded. 

Abby’s breathing became more ragged as he fucked Romance harder. “Is this how you like it?”

Romance whined and squeezed his eyes shut.

Abby: “Say it, say you like it when I hurt you.”

Romance’s body trembled with an odd mix of pain and pleasure. His cock throbbed, trapped between his body and the sheets, barely getting any friction as a result of Abby’s rough thrusts. But he was ready to explode, if Abby would… His thoughts were interrupted by Abby’s low growl: “Answer me, pet. Say it.”

Romance’s body convulsed as his cock released its load. He gasped for breath and tried to answer but before he managed to do so, he felt Abby’s breath on the back of his neck.

Abby felt Romance’s body tense up and his muscles pulse and knew there would be a cum stain on the sheets. He smiled and leaned over Romance to whisper in his ear: “Look at that, my pet came without permission.” 

Romance gasped: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

Abby: “I’ll let you get away with it this time. Only because you’re going to be a good pet and let me cum in your ass, yes?”

Romance nodded.

Abby: “It’s going to hurt. You’re so fucking tight my cock barely fits in you. But you’re going to hold still and let me take you… and you’re going to beg me to cum inside you.”

Romance answered in a whimpering voice: “Yes master.”

Abby: “Good.” He restrained himself from slapping Romance’s perfect ass and picked up the pace of his thrusts, his breathing becoming erratic.

Romance’s whimpers and moans turned into sobs as Abby pounded his ass. The pain was one thing, but Abby’s intensity and animal instinct fueled the lust inside him. He wanted it and he wanted more. “Fuck me.”  he pleaded. He heard Abby growl. “More, please give me more.”

Abby: “You want more of my cock up your tights ass?”

Romance: “Yes”

Abby: “Is this how you like getting fucked?”

Romance, his voice getting more desperate: “Yes.”

Abby: “Are you going to be bad and cum all over yourself again without permission?”

Romance: “No…”

Abby: “I know you are, I can feel you, you’re so tense.”

Romance just whimpered.

Abby: “Do it, pet. Cum.”

Romance’s body bucked under Abby and Abby fought to restrain him.

Abby: “Good pet, now beg.”

Abby’s thrusts became rougher and shorter as Romance whimpered: “Please cum… please…please fill me up…please” again and again.

Abby: “Fuck.” he growled between breaths. “You’re so fucking beatiful Romance…. And so fucking tight…. I’m going to fill you up.”

Romance pleaded between sobs: “Please cum, please, it hurts, please cum.”

Abby’s leg muscles tightened and he roared as his cock shot jet after jet of cum inside Romance.  His entire body began to shake and he couldn’t catch his breath. His heart skipped a few beats before Abby came back to his senses. “Fuck” he panted, still trying to catch his breath “That was amazing.”

A muffled “Mhm” came from Romance and when Abby looked down at him, he noticed Romance was still gripping the bedsheets with white knuckled fists. He disentangled himself and laid down next to Romance. 

Abby stroked Romance’s hair: “Are you alright my little pet?”

Romance rested his forehead against the bed so his words weren’t muffled, but he didn’t turn to look at Abby: “I’m alive.”

Abby: “This is going to be good and bad for you for some time. But it will get better. Do you understand?”

Romance: “Not right now.”

Abby sighed and placed a soft kiss on Romance’s temple. “Clean up and get some rest, we’ll talk later.”

Romance: “Yeah.”

Abby stood up and dressed, stealing glances at Romance. For his part, Romance stood still, his back still heaving with deep breaths. When he was done putting himself back in order, Abby left without another word.

When he descended the steps, he found Jinu still sitting on the edge of the bed. Their eyes met and Jinu raised a questioning eyebrow. Abby huffed with amusement.

Jinu: “Self control, huh? I’m sure even the mortal realm heard you.”

Abby snorted and moved to sit next to Jinu.

Jinu: “Did you hurt him?”

Abby: “Yes.”

Jinu: “Badly?”

Abby: “He’s alive.”

Jinu just stared at Abby for a long time. When Abby added nothing else, Jinu asked: “What now?”

Abby: “Now we sleep. Come on.”

Jinu looked incredulous: “You want me to just go to sleep next to you after that?” he gestured towards the second floor.

Abby began to undress, wondering why he dressed in the first place. “Why not?”

Jinu: “Why not? Seriously?”

Abby: “Are you jealous?" 

Jinu was taken aback. Was he? No, he wasn’t.

Abby moved in front of Jinu and leaned in close, their foreheads almost touching. “Are you in love with me Jinu?”

The silence stretched and Abby searched Jinu’s face while Jinu searched for an answer. When no answer was forthcoming Abby spoke again: “Pitty. Just know I would give my life for you. Now come to bed.”

Abby fell asleep quickly but Jinu laid awake for a long time.

In the dead tree outside the house, Baby crouched on the lowest branch. Abby’s roar had him curious. When he saw Abby come downstairs and talk to Jinu, Baby made his move. Silent like a creature of the night, he leaped from the branch on the ledge in front of the second storey bedroom. Using a claw he opened the latch and went inside.

Romance laid on the bed, curled up in a fetal position, facing the window. His eyes were closed but he wasn’t asleep. When he heard the metallic clink of the window being unlocked, he opened his eyes and saw Baby sneak inside.

Baby put a finger in front of his lips and silently got in bed next to Romance.

Baby whispered: “Did he hurt you?”

Romance nodded.

Baby: “He hurts me too.” When Romance just stared at him, he continued, letting his creepy smile spread across his face. “But it feels good, doesn’t it?”

Romance smiled back at Baby. “It does.”

Baby took one of Romance’s hands in his and brought it to his lips. He softly placed a kiss on each finger. “I’ll keep you company if you want.”

Romance squeezed Baby’s hand: “That would be lovely.”

Give me your desire

(Jinu/Romance)

When Jinu woke up, Abby was gone. “Probably summoned away. ” thought Jinu and he got out of bed, leaving the sheets in a tangled mess. He walked to the window and stared out into the gloom. Thoughts of last night’s conversation with Abby ran through his mind. What bored Jinu most was Abby’s question: “Are you in love with me Jinu?” . The way he it asked, not as a taunt, nor as a challenge or an attempt to mock, but as a genuine question borned out of the need to know was troubling.

Romance: “Hey.”

Jinu turned and looked towards the stairs. “I would say good morning but there is no morning or night here.”

Romance: “So it seems. Pity, I always liked how candlelight looked in the darkest hours of the night.”

Jinu: “Very poetic.”

Romance smiled and moved to stand next to Jinu. “Anything interesting out there?”

Jinu: “Nothing much.”.

They stood there in silence for a few minutes, gazing out the window.

Jinu: “How are you feeling?”

Romance rolled his shoulders and moved his head side to side. “I’m fine, just a bit sore. I hope being a demon means I heal faster.”

Jinu: “It does. I’m sorry about what he did to you.”

Romance looked at Jinu: “Why?”

Jinu turned to look at him and reply, but when their eyes met, Jinu’s mind filled with images of Romance’s naked body pressed against him. Romance scoffed when he saw Jinu’s face change and returned to looking out the window.

Romance: “I don’t do it on purpose. It’s just what I am.”

Jinu took a moment to shake the images out of his mind. “It’s alright.” He reached out an arm in an attempt to place a comforting hand on Romance’s shoulder, but Romance pulled away from this touch.

Romance: “Don’t.”

Jinu: “What happens if I touch you?”

Romance replied in a voice devoid of emotion: “Then we’ll kiss.”

Jinu: “And then?”

Romance: “Then we’ll kiss on the bed.”

Jinu’s voice was soft: “And after that?”

Romance turned to look at Jinu: “Then you’ll know nothing but desire.”

Jinu’s eyelids fluttered as he fought against the images in his head. In a barely audible whisper he spoke a single word: “Yes.”

At that, Romance didn’t hesitate. He placed a hand on Jinu’s arm and his black reaper clothing turned to swirling mist, restelling into nothing but a black silk belt tied around his waist, the ends dangling along his right hip.

Jinu’s eyes traveled from Romance’s face, down his naked chest and to the silk belt. “H…how?”

Romance didn’t answer, instead he placed the tip of a claw under Jinu’s chin. Barely touching his skin, he guided Jinu’s face up and towards him. “Don’t think, just feel.” he whispered against Jinu’s lips and pressed a soft kiss on them. Jinu parted his lips and the small kisses grew and got longer. 

Romance’s left hand wrapped around Jinu’s waist, then slowly slid across his hip, curving under him, over his butt cheek, softly grabbing it and pulling Jinu’s body against his. With his other hand he unbuttoned Jinu’s shirt, his claws scraping gently over Jinu’s chest as each button was undone.

Jinu moaned softly into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Romance’s shoulders, pulling himself in, one hand tangling in his pink hair and the other softly digging into his back muscles. Shirt open, Romance’s hand found Jinu’s chest and moved up to cup his neck. His claw tipped fingers barely touched the surface of his skin as they moved over his collar bone, down over the middle of his chest, onto his stomach, down to his waistband where they traced its outline before moving slowly back up over his chest.

Jinu let go of Romance, and let out a breath he seemed to be holding, then hastily took his shirt off and let it drop to the floor. He went to unbuckle his pants, but Romance stopped him with a whispered word: “Don’t” . Still holding on to Jinu’s ass, Romance took small steps forward, pushing Jinu back until he was against the wall. “Let me.” Romance whispered and took Jinu’s hands in his, holding them over his head. He gathered both of Jinu’s wrists in one hand and held them up, not pinning him, just holding him. His free hand raised goosebumps on Jinu’s skin as it moved over his neck, down to his chest, stopping at his waistband.

Jinu’s body shivered as Romance’s claw moved from under his belly button to his hip and pushed his pants a few centimeters lower, then trailed slowly to the other side and did the same. A moan escaped Jinu’s lips and Romance silenced him with a slow kiss. When Jinu pressed in for more Romance didn’t give in, keeping the kiss slow and passionate.

Romance’s claws trailed lightly over Jinu’s exposed chest, over his ribs, all the way up his neck and back down. His movements were torturously slow and Jinu moaned loudly in protest.

Romance laughed softly: “Alright. Come on.” He kept his hold on one of Jinu’s wrists and guided him towards the bed, where he sat down on the edge. He tugged Jinu in front of him and hugged his thigh, rubbing his cheek against it. Jinu groaned in protest and tangled his hands in Romance’s hair. ”Don’t worry Jinu. ” Romance whispered and reached for his boots “I’m just making you comfortable” . With practiced ease, Romance unlaced Jinu’s boots and tapped his thigh “Get them off.” He ran his hands on the back of Jinu’s legs as Jinu swayed while trying to get his boots off. Once done, Romance gripped Jinu’s waistband with both index fingers and pulled the remaining clothing down agonizingly slow, letting his other claws scrape along Jinu’s thighs. His grip on Romance’s hair grew painful. “Awww.” he complained in a playful voice and the grip loosened.

Romance moved to sit against the bed’s headboard and tucked a pillow behind his back. His movements were so elegant, Jinu couldn’t do anything but admire him. When Romance crooked a finger at him, Jinu obeyed and went to him. “Come” Romance gestured for Jinu to straddle him. Jinu sat on Romance’s thighs and looked into his eyes. As if having a mind of its own, Jinu’s body reacted and he found himself placing a hand on Romance’s cheek and reaching down for a kiss.

Romance slid his hands over Jinu’s body until they landed on his ass, then he pulled him in, trapping their cocks side by side between their bodies. A soft whimper escaped Romance’s lips and Jinu almost lost it. Everything about Romance screamed sex and desire and Jinu wanted it all.

With his hands on Jinu’s ass, Romance guided his movements, keeping them slow. He placed soft kisses on Jinu’s chest and shoulder, his lips trailing upward to meet Jinu’s when demanded. “How about... ” Romance whispered as one of his fingers rubbed against Jinu’s entrance.

Jinu took a sharp breath and answered: “Yes.”

Holding on to Jinu’s ass with one hand, Romance lifted him higher and positioned his cock. He rubbed its tip against Jinu trying to get him ready, but Jinu was impatient and began to lower himself on Romance’s cock. Romance didn’t move, letting Jinu do the work until he felt himself slip inside him.

Romance: “Does it hurt?”

Jinu shook his head no and continued lowering himself.

Romance ran the back of a hand over Jinu’s cheek:”Be gentle.” With both his hands on Jinu’s ass again, Romance lifted and lowered Jinu on his cock, not pushing all the way in, just enough for Jinu to softly gasp or moan whenever it hit the right spot. His lips resumed teasing Jinu’s chest and his claws dug into Jinu’s flesh.

Jinu felt like his entire body was on fire. Each time Romance touched him, it sent shivers of pleasure through him. The pressure inside him was building and building and he wanted it released, but Romance didn’t allow him to speed up his movements. All he could do was hold on tight to Romance and demand his kisses.

Romance relished the feeling of Jinu’s body tensing under his touch. He could feel Jinu’s precum wet his abdomen. Electric tingles of pleasure ran through him whenever Jinu dug his claws in his back. Romance felt coiled like a spring and he was ready. “Are you close Jinu?” he asked softly and felt Jinu’s muscles tense up.

Jinu: “Fuck, yes, yes.”

Romance: “Then take care of yourself.”

Jinu took hold of his cock and stroked it as Romance held him still and pumped his own hips up to thrust into him. Jinu drew in short breaths and moaned louder and louder until his cum shot on Romance’s chest. With a loud “Fuck” he sank all the way down on Romance’s cock.

Romance gasped as he slid all the way inside Jinu. He tried to hold on, but he couldn’t. Jinu’s cry and the twitching of his muscles made Romance spill inside him. Jinu moved his hips in rhythm with Romance’s throbs. Romance’s body bucked and shuddered, but Jinu hugged him tight. When the feeling passed, he hugged Jinu back and rested his head against his chest as he took in deep breaths. Jinu rested his cheek atop Romance’s head and they stood like that for a while, taking in calming breaths.

Jinu was the first to move and disentangled himself from Romance then flopped down on the bed. Romance slid down to lay next to him and propped himself up on an elbow. He looked at Jinu for a moment then tapped the tip of his nose with a finger: “Are you alright?” he asked him.

Jinu took in a few more breaths then answered: “You set my soul on fire.”

Romance searched Jinu’s face for the lie, but the words were true. He was considering what to reply, but a slow clap coming from the staircase startled them both. 

Baby: “Nice performance you two.” he said as descended the last few steps.

Jinu: “How long have you…”

Baby: “...been sitting there?” he continued Jinu’s sentence. “From the start.” He walked over to them and sat on the edge of the bed next to Jinu. “Hope you’re not planning on charging for this performance.”

When neither Jinu or Romance said anything, Baby ran a finger over the tip of Jinu’s cock and picked up a drop of cum, making Jinu twitch. He licked his finger and sat up, heading towards the door. Before exiting the house, he sketched a mocking two finger salute at them.

Jinu groaned: “Fuck.”

Chapter 9

Empty vessels

(Baby/Romance)

Romance descended the steps to Baby’s lair. As he reached the bottom, the hatch above him slammed shut, plunging the room in darkness.

Baby’s voice came from the far corner: “Why did you come?”

Romance: “To appologize.”

Baby: “What for?”

Romance: “I shouldn’t have left.”

Baby snapped his fingers and a single candle materialised at the base of the giant mirror, casting weird shadows across the room. He looked at Romance’s reflection in the mirror and asked: “Like he left you?”

Romance sighed and took small steps towards Baby, “Like he left me.” Their eyes met in the mirror for a moment. Baby was the first to look away. He sat on the edge of the bed and said nothing more.

Romance sat down next to him. The silence stretched, both of them just staring at the shadows. When Romance finally spoke, his usual seductive voice was gone, replaced by almost vulnerable sincerity: “Seven years since I heard Gwi-ma’s voice. I am just two springs past my twenties. Can barely remember how I was before I became this. Since the deal was sealed I lived a lie. Descending into the underworld brings no knowledge, no wisdom. I know nothing but lies.”

Baby: “I have nothing to give you.”

Romance’s voice regained its melodic qualities: “Come here little one.” He reached out and brushed his fingers softly against Baby’s arm. Baby looked at where Romance’s hand touched his arm and then at him. Romance was startled. He expected Baby to react in some way and for his clothing to morph, reflecting Baby’s desire, but nothing happened.

Baby smiled wide: “That’s right lover boy, I see right through you.” He slapped Romance’s hand away and his voice held malice. “Your tricks don’t work on me.” With a snap of his fingers the candlelight vanished. 

Romance attempted to stand up but Baby’s glowing yellow eyes appeared right in front of him. His breath left his lungs as Baby threw him down on the bed and got on top of his chest, holding his arms pinned with his knees just like Abby did earlier.

Baby wrapped both hands around Romance’s throat and squeezed. “Lies, lies, lies, pretty lies, pretty faces, all lies, nothing but lies.” His voice was high pitched, the words spilling out of him: “I want to hurt you Romance, I want to hurt you so bad. I lied, I do have something to give you. I can give you pain. ” He laughed as Romance struggled under him. “I want to hurt you, do you hear me?” he leaned his face close to Romance and his voice quieted with each word. “I want you to hurt… like you hurt me.” His voice became a whisper and he released the grip on the other demon’s neck. “Like you hurt me, you hurt me Romance, you hurt me.” He gave Romance a final shove and he was gone.

The weight disappeared from Romance’s chest and he took deep breaths and tried to swallow. He rubbed his hand over his neck and winced at the pain. A snap of Baby’s fingers brought the candlelight back and Romance saw Baby sitting on the edge of the bed in the exact spot as before. When he felt confident enough to move, Romance went to Baby and sat behind him, spreading his legs to either side of him. He carefully wrapped an arm around Baby’s waist and whispered against the back of his neck: “No illusions needed here, just… this. Just you and me.”

His other hand traced the line of Baby’s jaw before resting on his chest. Romance’s touch was gentle, his claw tipped fingers exploring the shape of Baby’s body through his shirt. “Just relax…” Romance whispered, brushing his lips against the back of Baby’s neck, “...let me be with you.”

When Baby didn’t react, Romance moved his hand lower, tracing the line of Baby’s stomach before dipping beneath the waistband of his pants. At that, Baby took a deep breath and relaxed into Romance’s chest. Romance brushed his fingers against the length of Baby’s cock, barely touching it. His lips placed soft kisses on the back of Baby’s neck and over his collar bone.

The candlelight flared as Baby moaned softly. The room seemed to grow warmer as Romance’s gentle touches continued to tease Baby. Small moans escaped his lips and he leaned fully against Romance’s chest.

With his lips against Baby’s ear Romance whispered: “I want to make you feel good.”

Baby groaned and he hastily unbuckled his pants and pushed them down, then placed his hands back on the edge of the bed.

Romance nuzzled his hair and wrapped his hand around Baby’s cock. With tantalising slow strokes he moved his hand over Baby’s length with a rhythm that made Baby shiver. Baby’s hips lifted slightly, trying to meet Romance’s strokes, his body responding to the pleasure Romance was giving him.

Romance whispered: “Feel how hard you are for me Baby.”

Baby moaned and arched his back against Romance. One of his hands gripped Romance’s thigh and his fingers dug in his flesh. Romance let go of Baby’s waist and ran his hand down Baby’s body. He gently cupped his balls, causing Baby to squirm.

Romance increased the speed of his strokes, tightening his grip and brushing his thumb over the sensitive tip of Baby’s cock, coating it with precum. With each stroke, Romance ran his fingers over the veins that pulsed beneath Baby’s skin, keeping his touch gentle but firm. Baby’s grip on Romance’s thigh grew painful as desire filled his body.

Romance could feel Baby’s heartbeat and his muscles tensing up and he knew he was close. His strokes became more urgent and he leaned in over Baby’s shoulder. Baby turned slightly and Romance’s lips met his with a passionate kiss, muffling his moans.

Baby’s body shivered and his cock throbbed as waves of pleasure ran through him. Ribbons of cum shot over Romance’s hand, but he continued to move, giving Baby every drop of pleasure. Baby pulled away from the kiss and looked at Romance. Romance kissed his cheek and gazed back at him. They looked at each other for a long moment, then Baby turned, took Romance’s face in both hands and kissed him with such intensity it startled Romance for a second. When he pulled back they gazed at each other once more, then Baby kissed him with the same raw need again.

When he pulled away a second time, Baby stood up and snapped his fingers, causing a black handkerchief to float down in front of Romance. Baby put himself back together while Romance cleaned up, then flopped unceremoniously in the bed on his back and stared at the ceiling. Romance laid down next to him.

They didn’t talk, they just stared at the shadows playing on the ceiling. The moment dragged on until Romance shifted his hand and placed it over Baby’s. A weird feeling stirred inside Baby’s chest and he reacted in the only way he knew how when something frightened him.

Romance landed in a heap at the base of the staircase just as the trap door opened and Abby and Jinu looked down.

Jinu: “What the fuck?” he quickly descended and went to check on Romance.

Abby followed at a normal pace. He took in the scene before him and shook his head with disappointment. “Are you alright?” he asked Baby.

Baby let out a cry of frustration and kicked at the bed, causing it to slide to the middle of the room. “I am now.”

Abby turned his head to look where Jinu was crouched over Romance’s still form. “Is he alright?”

Jinu: “He’s alive.”

Abby: “What happened?” . When Baby didn’t reply, Abby continued with a sigh: “Nevermind.”

Jinu was more upset: “What the hell Baby. What did you do?”

Baby just shrugged.

Glances and glares were exchanged and no one spoke for a while. Baby shrugged again under Jinu’s glare and asked: “Can we keep him?” . Abby laughed and Jinu glared at both of them.

Jinu: “You two might want to be more careful then. You’re going to kill him.”

Abby walked over to Romance and picked him up like he would a child, then gently placed him on the bed that was now resting in the middle of the room. He ran his fingers through Romance’s hair, clearing it from his face then headed towards the stairs. “Come on, we have to talk.”

Chapter 10

Lesson learned

(Abby/Baby/Jinu)

Abby stood in the middle of the room, arms crossed, an imposing figure in his full reaper outfit. Baby flopped in the bed on his back and sighed. Jinu took a seat in the chair next to the bed and looked at the floor.

Abby took a deep breath then spoke, trying to keep the anger out of his voice and failing: “You two are going to be the death of me. If I can’t be away for a few hours without one of you doing something stupid, we have a problem. You understand that I must do Gwi-ma’s bidding to retain his favor. Without that I can’t protect you from the suffering he inflicts on his minions. Do you get that?” .

Neither Baby nor Jinu moved or spoke. Abby sighed and unbuckled his belt, sliding it free with a snap and holding it folded in half. He walked over to Jinu and placed the tip of a claw under his chin, lifting him up. Abby leaned forward a bit so they were eye to eye. The hand holding the belt pressed against Jinu’s ass and the belt dangled along his thigh. 

Abby spoke in a deceivingly soft voice: “I can smell Romance all over you, Jinu. But that’s not why I am upset with you. You should know better than this.” he tapped the belt lightly against Jinu’s leg.   “I need you, all of you, to be ready to do Gwi-ma’s bidding when he demands it and to be in fighting shape, not knocked out. I am mad at you for fucking up Baby…” the belt hit the back of Jinu’s thigh harder this time and he flinched. “... and for shoving your cock into Romance…”

Jinu tried to protest: “I didn’t.”

Abby slapped Jinu’s leg again causing him to wince. “I didn’t say you can speak.” He stared down Jinu until Jinu nodded.  “As I was saying, I am upset with you for fucking Romance instead of keeping an eye on him in my absence.” Another blow landed on Jinu's thigh and he winced again. “Do you want it to go back to how it was?” . When Jinu shook his head no, Abby continued: “Do you want the voices to return?” . Another shake of the head from Jinu. “Then you’re going to learn the lesson I’m about to teach, yes?” . When Jinu nodded, Abby turned his gaze on Baby who was now propped up on his elbows, looking at them.

Abby crooked a finger at Baby and Baby got up. When Abby crooked his finger again, Baby got closer. Abby placed the folded belt under Baby’s chin and lifted it up so they could lock eyes. Still talking in a soft voice, Abby spoke to Baby: “You… you I could understand. You’re new to being a demon and… “ Abby squinted at Baby “...are you even 20?” . Baby smiled in his creepy way. Abby continued: “You’re young, you’re new, you haven’t lived for years and years with the voices, so I’m not mad at you for not being able to control your cock. I am mad at you for hurting Romance like that. What if I needed you guys? What then, huh?”. He stared into Baby’s eyes for a moment, then continued: “So you are also going to learn a lesson, yes?” . Baby nodded.

Abby took a step back, clearing the space between the two of them and with his claw still under Jinu’s chin, he guided him towards Baby. “Look at me” Abby commanded, his voice once again deep. Jinu and Baby turned to meet Abby’s predatory yellow eyes. “I want you two to undress each other. Slowly. Show me how much you wish to learn.” Abby clasped his hands behind his back and began circling them, his boots making the floor creek with each step.

Baby and Jinu exchanged a glance. Jinu’s eyes were nervous but Baby’s were full of excitement. Jinu reached for Baby, his hands slightly shaking as he began unbuttoning Baby’s shirt. He pulled it off slowly, revealing Baby’s smooth chest, then leaned it and began trailing kisses down his collarbone.

Baby shivered and his skin formed goosebumps under Jinu’s touch. He reached for Jinu’s shirt and mimicked the slow unbuttoning motion. As the shirt fell to the floor, Baby’s hands roamed over Jinu’s muscular back, feeling the shape of his body.

Abby watched them, his yellow eyes glowing. “Good. Keep going.”

Jinu unbuckled Baby’s pants and his fingers brushed against Baby’s hardening cock. Baby moaned and pushed his hips forward. Jinu smiled, remembering Baby’s impatience, and pulled his pants down, freeing Baby’s hard cock. His hands wrapped around Baby’s back and slowly moved down his body until they rested on his ass. Baby moaned again and tried to push himself against Jinu but Abby’s belt hit the back of his thigh.

Abby: “No. Not until I say so. Keep going.”

Jinu kneeled in front of Baby and unlaced his boots. Baby’s cock throbbed just inches away from Jinu and it was hard for both of them to restrain their need. Baby kicked his boots off and stepped out of his pants, then dropped down to his knees in front of Jinu. His lips found Jinu’s and a frantic kiss began as Baby fumbled to blindly undo Jinu’s pants.

Abby: “Yes… good.” he growled at them, still circling them.

When Baby managed to unbuckle Jinu’s pants, Jinu stood up and Baby pulled down on his pants, then unlaced his boots. Baby fought the urge to take Jinu’s cock in his mouth and was relieved when Abby growled at them again.

Abby: “Get up, hands on the table, both of you. Move!”

Baby and Jinu walked over to the table, leaving the pile of clothes behind them, and placed their hands on it as ordered. Abby walked to the table as well and dropped his coat in front of them, then his hat and finally his shirt. He stepped behind Baby and ran a claw down his spine as he spoke: “You I could easily forgive, but you have to learn. Jerk him off Jinu, rub his cock as he learns.”

Jinu reached over and wrapped his hand around Baby’s cock, making him moan and shift in place. 

Abby: “Don’t move.” . The first belt strike landed on Baby’s right ass cheek with precision as Abby counted: “One..” Abby’s free hand ran over the mark and then another blow connected with Baby’s flesh and Baby moaned “ Two..” another caress over the new red mark and then a third strike landed as Abby counted: “Three.”

Baby cried out: “Fuck, Abby please, I can’t… I can’t” his breath hitched in his chest as he tried to get the words out.

Abby stepped behind Baby and slapped Jinu’s hand away from his cock. “Enough.” then he roughly took Baby’s chin in one hand. “Breathe Baby, breathe… you don’t get to cum until I tell you too, understand?” Baby nodded and Abby slapped his cheek hard enough to sting. “Good boy.” he growled and placed a kiss on Baby’s temple before moving away.

Standing behind Jinu, Abby ran a claw down his back: “As for you Jinu, you have a harder lesson to learn.”  he made a fist in Jinu’s hair and pulled his head back so he could look at him “Don’t you fucking dare to cum without permission, understand?” . Jinu’s muffled “Yes” satisfied Abby. He released Jinu’s hair and took a step back, then tapped Baby’s leg with the belt. “Suck him off while I teach him a lesson.”

Baby got on all fours and crawled under the table to take Jinu’s cock in his mouth. Jinu gasped as Baby’s lips closed around his shaft. When the tip of his cock hit the back of Baby’s throat, Jinu shivered with pleasure but it didn’t last long. Abby’s first blow landed as he began counting.

Abby: “One.”

Jinu gritted his teeth against the pain of the first blow, but then the second one came and he cried out. Baby moaned and it sent vibrations through Jinu’s cock, making him shiver again before the next blow landed. He heard Abby count: “Three” then the next hit landed and Jinu’s knees buckled. Abby was quick to catch him, wrapping an arm around his waist. He dropped the belt on the table and reached around to grab Baby’s hair. “Get off him. ” he ordered and pushed Baby aside.

Abby held Jinu until he became steady on his feet. He turned him around to face him and motioned for Baby to get up, then kissed Jinu. Abby’s kiss was harsh and demanding and filled Jinu’s mind with lust. He whimpered into the kiss and Abby let him go. “You did good…” he moved his lips to Baby’s and kissed him also. When he pulled back he ended his sentence: “...so far.” . He smiled like a predator as Jinu and Baby both looked startled. “On your back, Baby.” he ordered and shoved Baby towards the bed. “I want to watch Jinu fuck you.”

Baby complied, lying on his back and spreading his legs. Abby pushed Jinu towards the bed as well: “ Go to him.” then followed with slow steps, watching as Jinu positioned himself between Baby’s thighs, his cock pressing against Baby’s entrance.

Abby sat down next to them and took Jinu’s chin in one hand. He pulled him into another fierce kiss then growled against his lips: “Fuck him. Show him you know how to be in charge.”

Jinu pushed into Baby, moving his hips slowly but steady, causing Baby to moan as his body stretched to take in Jinu’s cock. Abby pulled his cock out as he watched and wrapped his hand around it, stroking it in time with Jinu’s thrusts.

Abby: “Fuck, you look good on your back Baby.” . He released his cock and reached out to run his thumb over Baby’s lips, spreading his precum over them. Then he looked at Jinu: “Go on Jinu, fuck him harder.”

Jinu increased his pace, his hips slapping against Baby’s ass. Baby cried out from the pleasure Jinu was giving him and from the pain caused by the red marks on his ass.

Abby’s voice was strained when he spoke: “Like that, make him take you.” . He moved behind Jinu and ran his claws up and down his back, watching him as he pumped his cock inside Baby. Jinu shivered and pushed deeper into Baby causing Baby to cry out.

Abby: “You’re doing so well Jinu.” he moved closer to him “Now… take me while you fuck Baby.”

Jinu tensed his muscles and fought hard not to cum as he felt Abby’s cock press against his entrance. He managed a nod and stood still as Abby pushed into him. Jinu moaned as  his body was trapped between Abby and Baby, 

Abby set a hard pace, his hips thrusting in sync with Jinu’s. Jinu cried out, his mind and body overwhelmed with pleasure. Baby reached up and grabbed Jinu’s hips, his claws digging into Jinu’s skin as he met each thrust.

Abby: “Fuck Jinu, you’re so tight. You feel so fucking good. Both of you are taking it so fucking well.”

Baby and Jinu moaned as their bodies moved together, getting closer and closer to release. Abby reached under Jinu, wrapped his hand around Baby’s cock and stroked it roughly. “Cum for me Baby. Show me how much you like being fucked.”

Baby’s body tensed and he screamed as his cum coated Abby’s hand. His ass squeezed on Jinu’s cock and Jinu followed, his cock throbbing as he spilled into Baby. Abby smiled and allowed his head to fall back as he thrusted hard into Jinu a few more times before filling Jinu with his cum.

Abby panted as pleasure rolled through him in waves. When his muscles finally relaxed he pulled out and laid down next to Baby. “Fuck me, the two of you are so sexy.” He looked at Jinu and tapped the empty spot to his other side with a hand. “Come here.” He pulled both of them into a rough embrace and kissed their foreheads. “Remember this, next time think before you act.” He kissed them again as they each nodded.

Reconnaissance

(Abby/Romance and Jinu/Baby)

Jinu got up and began putting himself back in order. Abby watched him for a while, his eyes moving up and down Jinu’s body, then turned to face Baby who was still laying next to him.

Abby: “Are you alright?”

Baby: “Yes.”

Abby: “Why did you hurt him?”

Baby sighed heavily and tried to get up. Abby’s hand made a fist in Baby’s hair and stopped him. When Baby settled back down, Abby released his hold and resumed playing with Baby’s hair.

Abby: “Does he remind you of someone from your past?”

Baby nodded.

Abby ran a claw from his free hand over Baby’s heart. “Did he hurt you?”

Baby sighed heavily: “Yes.”

Abby: “Did it feel better after you hurt Romance?”

Baby: “No.”

Abby: “Is your head clear now? Are you good?”

Baby turned his head slightly to look at the ceiling and after a while he nodded.

Abby shoved Baby roughly: “Get ready then, we got to go.” . He then got up and began dressing. When he was done, he looked at Jinu and then at Baby and growled: “I’m going to check on Romance, you two better be functional when I return. ”. With a meaningful glance at both of them, he stomped out of the house and down the stairs into Baby’s lair, where Romance was still laying in bed, the same way Abby left him.

Abby took a deep breath and readied himself for Romance’s powers to do a number on him again, then sat on the bed next to him. He picked up Romance’s still form and dragged him in a sitting position against his broad chest. Both of Abby’s arms wrapped around Romance’s waist.

Abby: “We went too far. No. I went too far too soon and I hurt you. I could blame it on a lot of things but the truth is I got carried away and loved it. Got caught in the lust and didn't want to stop when I knew I should have. I regret it.” . He hugged Romance tighter against his chest and rested his chin on top of his head. Abby’s patterns flashed deep red for a second and Romance’s patterns responded in the same way.

Romance spoke in a barely audible voice: “I can leave.”

Abby: “Nonsense. Why would you leave?”

Romance: “I am no use to anyone. Once you give into temptation I hold no more interest for anyone anymore.”

Abby turned Romance to face him: “Look at me.”

Romance lifted his eyes to meet Abby’s. When no images popped into Abby’s head he frowned. “So you can’t put images in my mind anymore?”

Romance: “I can, but only if I want to. Before it wasn’t on purpose.”

Abby: “Show me.”

Romance’s eyes flashed golden and Abby’s mind filled with images of all the dirty things he wanted to do to Romance. It only lasted a few seconds and Abby fought hard to clear his mind.

Romance: “I’ll leave now.” . He tried to move away from Abby but he was unsuccessful.

In the next moment, Romance found himself on his back, Abby’s hands gripping his wrists tightly, pinning them above his head as he loomed over him on the bed. Abby’s eyes were a mix of apology and uncontrolled desire.

Abby spoke in a low and husky growl: “You’re being foolish my pet.”

Romance’s breath hitched as his chest fell and rose rapidly: “Abby, please…”

Abby: “I’ll let you go if you want to leave.”

Romance: “I know. I just…I need you to be gentle.”

Abby’s lips curled into a smirk but his touch softened as he released Romance’s wrists. His claws trailed down Romance’s arms. “ I’ll try.” he whispered against Romance’s lips before kissing him hard. When he pulled back he looked at Romance with something close to warmth in his eyes. “But you know how I get when I’m hungry for my pet.” . And with that Abby’s eyes flashed yellow and the predator look was back.

Romance couldn’t stop a moan as he arched his body into Abby’s. Abby’s hands moved fast and rough, stripping off Romance’s clothes with frenzied speed.

Abby: “You’re so fucking beautiful Romance. You drive me crazy, you know that? I can’t help to claim you as my little pet.”

Romance’s hands found Abby’s hair and tugged gently, pulling him back into a kiss. “Then do it..” he whispered against Abby’s lips “...make me yours again.”

Abby just growled and got up to undress hastily. Romance got on his hands and knees and ran two fingers coated in saliva over his entrance. “Fuck me already Abby.”

Abby’s eyes darkened with lust as he kneeled behind Romance. “Look at you so fucking eager.” Abby taunted and ran a hand over Romance’s ass. He pushed his hard cock against his entrance making him moan.

Romance shivered and pushed back against Abby. “Yes please. Please fuck me.”

Abby slapped Romance's ass hard enough to leave a red palm print. “Is that how you beg pet?”

Romance: “Please master, fuck me hard.”

Abby: “That's better.”. He gave Romance’s ass a softer slap then spat on his fingers and ran them over his entrance. He pushed a finger in then another and stretched him roughly. “You're so tight my little pet, this is going to hurt.”

Romance whimpered at the intrusion, his body tensing, but his hips moved back to meet Abby’s fingers. “Please master, more, please.”

Abby pulled his fingers out and positioned his cock at Romance’s entrance. Romance shivered with anticipation and let out a whimper that made Abby's cock twitch. Abby growled and slid inside Romance with one brutal stroke. Romance screamed and his fists tangled in the sheets as Abby began to pound him hard. 

Abby: “Fuck, your ass feels so fucking good.”. He gripped Romance’s hips, his claws digging hard into them, almost piercing the skin. Romance whimpered, making Abby shiver with pleasure. “You like it pet?”

Romance: “Yes master. “

Abby's grip tightened and his fingers left bruises on Romance’s hips. He leaned down and his breath was hot against Romance’s neck when he whispered: “I'll fuck you until you come undone for me my little pet. I want you to scream my name when you cum.”

Romance’s body tensed as Abby’s pace increased, filling the room with the sound of their skin slapping together. He let out small whimpers as pleasure mixed with Abby’s roughness and that made Abby become more wild, which in turn made Romance’s cock throb with the need for release.

Abby: “Fuck Romance, you feel so good.”

Romance let out a long moan: “Master please make me cum. I beg you master. Please please touch me and make me cum.”

Abby: “You want to cum pet?”

Romance: “Yes.. please please.”

Abby’s hand wrapped around Romance’s cock and stroked him in time with his thrusts. “Then cum for me my pet.” he ordered and Romance’s body obeyed. His orgasm sent waves of pleasure through him that left him shaking.

Romance: “Fuck Abby… fuck.”

Abby: “Let go Romance. Cum with my cock in your tight ass.”. His hand kept stroking Romance’s cock making the younger demon gasp and twitch. Romance shot his load over Abby’s hand and his knees became weak, barely keeping him up.

Abby: “Are you done pet?”. When Romance nodded, Abby wrapped his other hand around his waist and pulled Romance up against his chest. “You've made a mess.”. He held his cum covered hand in front of Romance. “Clean it up.”.

Abby watched Romance’s display of obedience, his tongue slowly running over Abby’s fingers, cleaning them up and had to slow his thrusts to keep from spilling into Romance. “Such a good pet.”

Romance: “I want more, let me taste you master.”

Abby let his head fall back and closed his eyes as he struggled to control his need to cum. “Fuck…” he moaned then released his hold on Romance. “Come here then.”

Romance turned around and got low on the bed, his open mouth close enough to Abby’s cock to not miss a drop. Abby took his cock in one hand and began stroking it then grabbed Romance by the chin with the other. He looked down at the eager demon: “Eyes on me and hands behind your back, pet.”.  Romance did as ordered and Abby shivered with delight. His body was tense and ready. With a few more strokes, his cock began to pulse and cum shot into Romance’s mouth. Romance moaned and Abby fought hard against the urge to throat fuck him right then and there. Instead he allowed the pleasure to run through his body, taking deep breaths and waiting for his muscles to relax.

Romance: “Thank you.”

Abby let out a half sigh half moan and closed his eyes for a second, then crooked a finger at Romance. “Come here. ”.   Romance got up on his knees so they were roughly eye to eye. Abby took hold of Romance’s chin with his thumb and index finger. “You’re so perfect.” . Romance smiled shyly and Abby pulled him in for a gentle kiss. When it was over, he gazed at Romance again for a moment. “One day I will be the death of you.” . 

Romance: “I don’t mind.”

Abby pulled him in for another kiss and when it ended, all emotion was gone from Abby’s eyes. He looked up and down Romance’s body, taking in the angry bruises on his neck, the barely healed ugly bruise on his ribs and the rest of the unhealed injuries. “Are you in any shape to fight?”

Romance looked down at himself and when he looked back up his eyes were also serious. “I’m fine.” . 

The sound of snapping fingers drew Abby’s attention towards the entrance, but all he saw was a pair of boots and the trailing end of a black coat disappearing up the stairs. When he looked back at Romance he saw the slowly descending black handkerchief and knew it had been Baby.

Abby walked in the house followed by Romance and found Baby sprawled on the bed again with Jinu sitting on the edge next to him. When Jinu tried to speak, Abby just held out a finger.

Abby: “Later. We have to go.”

Baby sat up and straightened his clothes. “Where?”

Abby: “To the Serpent’s Whisper. Something has been happening there and Gwi-ma wishes us to investigate.” . When only blank looks were returned, Abby continued. “It is an ancient place of power and someone or something has taken residence there. Whoever or whatever it is has been interfering with the transfer of souls. We are going to end it.”

The other three nodded and Abby held out a hand, palm up. They placed their hands over his and Abby’s patterns flashed. The room around them vanished, replaced by the cool evening air or a forest.

Baby: “What the fuck?” . He and Romance collapsed to their knees and Jinu doubled over as a powerful wave of untamed ancient magic ran through them.

Abby’s voice was steady when he spoke: “This explains why I couldn’t get us any closer.” . His eyes tracked up towards the mist shrouded jagged mountain peak. “Whatever this is, it’s coming from up there.” . He glanced at the other. “Get up, we’re going.”

The mist became thicker as they climbed and it seemed to cling to them as if being alive. The air was hard to breathe and there was an eerie silence.

Jinu: “What is this?”

Abby stopped and made a silencing gesture. There was something in the mist, something moving. And then they were upon them. Hideous creatures, half the size of a normal human, their eight eyes glowing a sickly green and their skin an amalgamation of sinew and shifting golden scales.

The Saja Boys reacted, each in their own way. Romance fought with the grace of a dancer, his moves elegant but deadly. Abby was ruthless and efficient, matched only by Baby who seemed to delight in ripping the abominations to pieces. Jinu’s moves were precise, almost arrogant as he made his way through the horde.

The climb up the mountain was difficult. Hordes of creatures threw themselves at the boys and the waves of untamed magic that sometimes pulsed from the mountain weakened the younger demons. When they got close to the summit Jinu spotted the source of the creatures. He pointed to what appeared to be a cave entrance in which a green portal flashed into existence and creatures spilled from it before the portal disappeared.

Jinu pointed: “Over there.”

They all looked the way Jinu indicated, but another green glow caught Romance’s attention and he pointed towards the west.

Romance: “There’s another opening that way.”

Abby: “Whatever is happening is inside. We have to get in. ”. He pointed at Jinu and Baby. “You two try here, Romance and I will check the other side.”. When Jinu and Baby nodded, Abby left with Romance in tow.

Abby and Romance moved like ghosts through the old forest, avoiding most of the creatures and swiftly dispatching those that got in the way. As they reached the cave entrance, the portal closed and once the creatures vanished into the forest, the way in appeared clear.

Abby: “Let’s go.” . He turned to look at Romance, but Romance was not behind him anymore. He scanned the area but didn’t see him anywhere. The thickening mist made it hard to see very far even for Abby. With a growl of frustration, Abby turned to face the cave again and was startled to see Romance standing in front of him.

Abby: “What are you doing? Actually nevermind. Come.”. He tried to step around Romance, but the other demon blocked his path.

Romance: “It could open again, we should wait.”

Abby: “Since when are you giving orders?”

Romance: “I’m not, just looking out for us… for you.” . He placed a hand on Abby’s chest and tried to make the bigger demon take a step back.

Abby looked at the spot Romance’s hand was touching him, then back up at Romance. “What is wrong with you?”

Romance: “Nothing.” . He took a step closer to Abby. “I don’t want to rush into an unknown situation…” the hand he had on Abby’s chest slid down his body “...but I wouldn’t mind rushing something else.” he smiled seductively at Abby.

Abby: “What is this about Romance?”

Romance: “I just want to be close to you. Is that wrong?”

Abby’s gaze sharpened and he slapped Romance’s hand off him. “This is not the time or place for this. Get it together.”

Romance spoke in a petulant tone: “But I missed you.”. He tried to reach for Abby again, but Abby grabbed his wrist and tried to twist Romance’s arm behind his back. Romance turned sharply, attempting to get free of Abby’s grip, then slammed his other hand into Abby’s chest. Abby was surprised by Romance’s strength but recovered quickly. Romance hit him again, then ducked low and tried to slide under Abby’s arm. Abby was ready for it and brought a knee up to block Romance, forcing him back upright and off balance.

Abby: “You really want to do this?”. Abby’s voice was a dangerous whisper, his face inches from Romance’s. “Because you’re not going to like how it ends.”

Romance laughed and bucked in an attempt to throw Abby off. “Oh I would love to see how this ends.” he taunted Abby then kicked out aiming for Abby’s shin. When the hit landed Abby decided enough was enough. With a swift move he spun Romance around wrapping one arm around the younger demon’s chest and pinning his arms. His other hand closed over Romance’s throat.

Abby: “Calm. Down. Now.” . Romance disobeyed and struggled violently against Abby’s hold. He tried to stomp on Abby’s foot, elbow him in the ribs, anything to break free. “What happened Romance, tell me what’s wrong.” he tried again to understand the situation. 

Romance laughed again: “Honestly I’m a little disappointed, I thought you would be more… dominating.”

Abby loosened his grip on Romance’s throat a bit: “This tantrum is about earlier? Is this it?”

Romance took in a few breaths before speaking: “Let me go.”

Abby released Romance and held his hands up in a placating gesture: “I told you you’re free to go if you want.”

Romance smiled in the same unsettling way Baby did then launched himself at Abby, claws extended, eyes glowing yellow. He was faster than Abby anticipated and one of Romance’s claws raked across his shoulder tearing through his clothing and skin, leaving behind a cold burn.

Abby: “Romance, stop, I don’t want to hurt you.”. He absorbed the blows and tried his best to dodge, but Romance landed more cold burning cuts on his body. Abby could feel something was wrong, the slashes Romance inflicted on him felt different from anything he felt before. It was almost as if Romance was draining his strength. Abby wavered between not wanting to hurt Romance and ripping him to pieces. Romance took advantage of it and raked his claws over Abby’s chest. Abby stumbled back with a grunt of paint. He looked down at his bleeding chest then back at Romance: “I told you I’ll be the death of you one day. This is the day.”

Romance didn’t answer, instead he charged Abby again, determined to finish the job. Not holding back any longer, Abby lashed back at Romance. His blows weren’t only swipes, they were heavier attacks meant to break bones. He landed one nasty hit on Romance’s back, his claws digging deep. Not wanting to give him a chance to recover he went in for another blow, but when he turned to face Romance, it was no longer him. Instead of Romance, Abby saw a tall and desiccated figure. Abby closed the distance in a single blurring bound and seized the creature’s arm, twisting it behind its bleeding back with a sickening crack. The creature cried out as Abby slammed it against the closest tree, pinning it there.

Abby: “What the fuck are you?” .

The creature hissed and laughed, then cried out in pain again as Abby twisted its arm harder.

Abby: “Where is Romance? What have you done with him?”

The creature’s voice sounded exactly like Romance when it answered: “You’ll never get him back. My master will love him. So full of lust.” it smacked its lips “My master will feast on all his power.”

Abby’s claws struck the tree trunk next to the creature’s neck. “This is your only chance. Where is he?”

Still using Romance’s voice, the creature answered: “Him, you and your other friends will make a fine feast for my master.” . The creature’s laughter echoed through the forest long after Abby ripped its head off.

Jinu watched from behind a tree trunk as the portal opened and closed again, disgorging more of those hideous creatures into the forest. Baby was observing from behind another tree on the opposite side of the cave entrance. As time went by, the mist around them seemed to thicken and Jinu lost sight of Baby. The portal opened again, painting the fog green for a few moments, then closed. The creatures spread out and vanished into the forest. Jinu tried to count the creatures but was startled by the feeling of an arm wrapping around his waist. He turned, claws extended, ready to kill when he saw Baby standing behind him.

Jinu: “What are you doing? You’re supposed to watch the other side.”

Baby: “This is boring. Come on, let’s have a little fun.” . He reached out and attempted to unbuckle Jinu’s pants.

Jinu took a step back. “Not now Baby. We need to stay alert, this is not a game.”

Baby: “Ah come on, just a little bit. I promise you’ll enjoy it.”. He tried to reach for Jinu again.

Jinu pushed Baby’s hands away. “Is this because of what you saw before we left?”

Baby answered with a noncommittal: “Mmmhmm.”

Jinu: “Baby please, keep it in your pants, this is not the time for fucking around.”

Baby: “Just relax, let me suck your cock. You know I can make it feel good.”

Jinu: “Fuck, Baby, stop it.”

Baby purred: “I can take it all in… all the way…” . He reached for Jinu’s belt a third time.

Jinu tried to take another step back but bumped into someone. Strong arms wrapped around him and Romance’s voice whispered in his ear: “Let him do it, don’t fight it.”.

Jinu: “Romance what are you doing here?”

Romance: “I came for you ofcourse.”

Jinu: “Where is Abby? Did he get in?”

Romance: “Shhh, don’t worry about him.”

Baby took a step closer to Jinu and began unbuckling his pants. “Just let me take care of you.” . Jinu tried to protest again, but relented when Baby’s hand wrapped around his hardening cock.

Romance: “Yes, like that, relax.”

Baby knelt and freed Jinu’s cock, then leaned in and his tongue flicked lightly over the tip. Jinu closed his eyes and leaned back against Romance, a low groan escaping his lips. Baby wrapped his lips around the head and slowly took more and more of Jinu’s cock in his mouth. His tongue teased the underside as he gradually deepthroated Jinu.

Romance nuzzled and kissed the back of Jinu’s neck. Jinu relaxed in his arms and tilted his head to one side, offering his neck to Romance. “Fuuuuck” he moaned as his cock hit the back of Baby’s throat.

Baby’s hands gripped Jinu’s thighs as he moved his head back and forth, his lips creating a tight seal around Jinu’s shaft. He could hear Jinu’s breathing becoming ragged and knew he was close. Baby increased his pace as Jinu’s hips began to thrust in sync with his movements.

Jinu: “Baby I’m close.”. His hands tangled in Baby’s hair.

Romance: “Give yourself to him.”. One of Romance’s hands moved up Jinu’s chest and wrapped around his throat. Romance pulled Jinu’s head back and more to the side, exposing more of his neck.

Baby pulled back enough to wrap his hand around the base of Jinu’s cock and stroke it in time with his mouth. He felt Jinu’s body tense and looked up to see him trapped in the jaws of pleasure. Jinu’s grip on Baby’s hair tightened and with a final thrust his cock pulsed and spilled into Baby’s mouth.

Jinu felt a wave of pleasure roll through him but it was quickly replaced by the sensation of burning cold. He grunted with pain and was rewarded with more pain when Romance sank his fangs in his neck.

Abby materialized from the fog and rammed his shoulder into Romance, knocking him away from Jinu. Jinu staggered and braced himself with a hand against the tree trunk.

Abby: “Jinu, it’s not them, they’re shapeshifters!”.

Baby stood up just in time to receive a crushing blow from Abby. Jinu took deep breaths to fight the pain, then hastily fixed his pants and charged at Romance who was aiming for Abby’s back. The shapeshifters moved with unnatural speed that rivalled that of Abby and Jinu, their forms blurring as they attacked. Jinu parried a clawed strike from Baby, and Abby dodged a sweeping kick from Romance that would have shattered bones.

Shrouded by the mist, the fight was short but brutal. The shapeshifters weren’t aiming to kill but to weaken the demons. Jinu was weakened already and was blindsided by a fast combination from both imposters, forcing him to defend himself rather than attack. Abby tried to gain ground on the attackers but found his path blocked by a swirling vortex of green mist.

Baby snarled: ‘You won’t find them. They belong to our master now and so will you soon enough.”. The green mist around the two shapeshifters grew thicker and glowed with blinding brilliance forcing Abby and Jinu to shield their eyes. When they could see again, the impostors were gone and so was the vortex of fog.

The silence that followed was deafening. Abby and Jinu stood alone, shocked at the chilling realization of what just happened. They have failed. Romance and Baby were gone and the scouting mission Gwi-ma had tasked Abby with was a loss.

Abby spoke first: “We have to leave. Now.”

Jinu: “What about Romance and Baby?”

Abby: “Go. Now!”

Chapter 12

The missing piece

(Abby/Jinu/Mystery)

Abby and Jinu ran down the mountain. They managed to get half way down before they felt the pull of Gwi-ma’s summons. The forest vanished and the hard floor of Gwi-ma’s throne greeted them. His flame loomed above them, bright and angry, casting long shadows over the demons gathered at the base of his throne.

Gwi-ma’s voice made the air vibrate: “I sent my best and you return in failure. Why?”

Abby and Jinu got to their knees. Only Abby had the courage to lift his head. “The presence residing in the mountain was stronger than anticipated. Now I know its strength, I can defeat it.”

Gwi-ma: “You abandoned two that belong to me. You ran like a COWARD!.” . Abby bowed his head again and Gwi-ma continued: “They belong to me and so do you. You were supposed to be my general, my weapon. Sharp. Unbreakable. Instead you were a coward. Blunt. Brittle.”. Purple flames wrapped around Abby and lifted him from the floor. “I will reforge you Abby. You will not forget this feeling.”.

Abby’s patterns flashed erratically and his body writhe in pain. Jinu watched from the corner of his eye, his outside appearance remained cold as ever, but his insides twisted as he watched Abby’s torture. Abby endured for a long time but Gwi-ma’s psychic and physical assault eventually won. Something broke inside Jinu when Abby began to scream.

When the flames vanished, Abby collapsed to the ground. He lay there twitching, his eyes open but vacant. 

Gwi-ma spoke to Jinu: “Go. Take him. Do not fail me again. If you do, your punishment will not be so… instructive.”

Jinu: “Yes master.”. He went to Abby and helped him to his feet. A second after that, Gwi-ma banished them from his throne room. The familiar broken down fence of their home appeared before them. Jinu tried to guide Abby towards the house but Abby clumsily pushed him away.

Abby: “Don’t touch me.”

Jinu: “Let me help you.”

Abby: “I don’t need your pity. Fuck off.” . He took stumbling steps towards the house, mimicking a drunken walk. He walked inside and slammed the door behind him. Jinu waited a moment then followed Abby inside. Abby sat in the chair next to the bed but when he saw Jinu enter he got up. “I told you to leave me alone.”

Jinu: “I can’t do that.”

With a roar of anger, Abby threw the chair against the wall and shattered it then he rounded on Jinu. “Leave. You’re not welcomed here. I don’t want you here.”

Jinu: “Abby, please, listen to me. It’s not over. We still have a job to do.”

Abby sat heavily on the edge of the bed and reclined against the headboard. In a defeated voice he muttered: ‘I’m a coward.”

Jinu: “That’s the opposite of what you are. You know that.” . Abby just stared at the broken chair laying on the floor. “We have to go back after Romance and Baby, we can’t leave them.”. Abby’s eyes shifted but didn’t focus on Jinu. “Abby, look at me please.” . Abby’s gaze passed right though Jinu as if he wasn’t there at all. The spark of defiance that always glinted in his eyes was gone. Jinu sat on the bed next to Abby and tried to think of something to say that would get through to him, but the voices returned. “You left them, you left them to die.”.  

Jinu cradled his head in his hands and tried to get back to the present as memories of the family he abandoned swirled through his mind. His efforts were in vain and as Abby’s protection faded, Gwi-ma’s torture returned. Jinu managed to crawl in bed and curl up against Abby’s side. He rested his head on Abby’s chest and fought to push the crushing memories away.

Everything was coming apart. Romance and Baby were gone, Abby was lost along with the protection he offered, his family was gone, he had nothing left to lose. In a brief moment of quiet Jinu spoke: “I would give my life for you also. If you want to wither and die, I will die with you.”. He reached out and placed his hand over Abby’s. “I love you Abby.” . He closed his eyes and allowed the torturous memories to invade his mind again. He didn’t notice his pattern flash dark red and Abby’s patterns responding with the same dark red flash.

Jinu felt the tip of a claw press lightly against his chin. He opened his eyes and looked up at Abby. The voices and the memories haunting him vanished.

Abby’s voice was shaky: “What did you say?” . Jinu didn't answer. A single tear ran down his cheek and Abby wiped it with his thumb. He leaned in and rested his forehead against Jinu’s, then slid his hand from Jinu’s face down to the back of his neck, threading his fingers through his soft hair. The gesture was possessive but gentle and Jinu closed his eyes and leaned into the touch. Abby’s lips brushed against Jinu’s temple as he murmured: “Idiot.” , then his fingers tightened on the back of Jinu’s neck, pulling him in for a soft kiss.

Jinu: “You scared me Abby. I was always afraid of being alone.”

Abby’s fingers began to idly stroke Jinu’s hair. “You’re not alone Jinu. You’ll never be alone again.”. Abby lifted his legs on the bed, settling in more comfortably and held Jinu against his chest. “We are going to get Romance and Baby back.”

Jinu looked up at him and nodded.

Abby: “And when we do I’m going to claim all three of you.” . He looked down at Jinu and smiled. “I’m going to take you the hardest.”. Jinu let out a soft moan and Abby continued: “I’m going to find all your weak spots, the ones you think you hide so well. And I’m going to exploit them Jinu. Until you’re completely undone.”

Jinu shivered and pressed himself closer to Abby.

Abby chuckled: “And once you’re begging, I’ll take you to the edge and back again and again. I’ll make you feel things you never felt before.”

Jinu moaned and rubbed his hardening cock against Abby’s thigh. Abby looked down at the place their bodies were touching then back up at Jinu. When their eyes met, Abby’s predator look was back. Jinu let out a breath: “Please Abby I need you.” .

Abby: “My sweet Jinu, you can’t handle a little dirty talk? How are you going to hold it together when I’m going to bend you over and spank that perfect ass of yours until it’s red and stinging?”.

Jinu: “Fuck Abby.”

Abby: “Take your cock out, I don’t want you to make a mess in your pants.” . Jinu hastily unbuckled his paints and freed his aching cock. Abby wrapped a hand around it and began to stroke it slowly. Jinu held on tight to Abby’s clothes and moved his hips trying to get more friction from Abby’s hand.

Jinu: “Abby…”

Abby leaned in and touched his forehead to Jinu’s: “I’ll make you beg to be fucked. And when I finally slide my cock in that tight little hole of yours, I’m going to pound you until you can’t walk straight.”.

Jinu placed a hand over the hand Abby was stroking him with. “I want you Abby.”

Abby: “You don’t get to ask things of me Jinu. You take what I give you, how I give it to you.”. He increased the speed of his strokes on Jinu’s cock and his voice turned into a growl: “You’ll have me Jinu, when I say you can. I’ll take you so hard and deep you’ll forget your own name. I’ll make you mine in every possible way.”

Jinu whispered: “Please…” and tried to reach for Abby’s lips.

Abby didn’t allow the kiss. “You want my cock in your ass?”

Jinu: “Yes.”

Abby: “You want to feel it deep inside you, stretching you wide until you scream?”

Jinu’s voice became more strained with each answer: “Yes.”

Abby increased the pace of his strokes: “Do you want to feel the sting of my hand on your ass?”

Jinu: “Fuck Abby, make me cum, please.”

Abby: “You’re such a dirty slut Jinu. Do you deserve to cum?”

Jinu: “Yes, please, I beg you.”

Abby growled: “Cum then, cum for me Jinu.” . He felt Jinu’s body tense up and leaned in to muffle his moans with a hard kiss. Jinu spilled his load over Abby’s hand, his fist pulling hard at Abby’s clothing. When Jinu relaxed, Abby placed a soft kiss on his forehead and reclined against the headboard again, resuming his idle caressing of Jinu’s hair.

Jinu sighed with content and leaned his head back to look up at Abby. 

Abby met his gaze. “Are you alright?”

Jinu laughed incredulously: “You are asking me?”

Abby was serious. “Yes, I am asking you. Are you alright Jinu?”

Jinu sighed. “Yes, I am fine. Don’t scare me like that again though.”

Abby kissed the top of Jinu’s head. “No promises.” . He grunted as he got up and tried to walk to the door, but staggered and had to catch himself on the edge of the table. 

Jinu began to tuck in so he could go to Abby when he noticed that the hand he used to clutch Abby’s clothes was covered in blood. “Abby, you’re hurt!” .

Abby waved a hand dismissively as he righted himself. “All will be right again once I rip those shapeshifters to pieces. Let’s go see to that.”

The cold wind bit at the exposed skin of Jinu and Abby as they stood at the base of an ice mountain. Jinu tried not to shiver with the cold. He took in his surroundings then looked at Abby.

Jinu: “What is this place?”

Abby; “This is where he lives. He can help us with what we have to do.” . Abby turned a serious look on Jinu. “His price might be too high. Careful with your words.”

Abby led the way towards what looked like a narrow entrance in the mountain. The tunnel was tight, made even worse to navigate by large ice crystals that descended from the ceiling at random.

Jinu whispered as he followed Abby through the tunnel: “Who is he?”

Abby whispered back: “I have only heard of him. A chosen demon like us who grew too powerful even for Gwi-ma to control. It is said that Gwi-ma banished him when he was unable to kill him. He lives here, cut off from the power of souls.”

Jinu: “Why do you think he will help us?”

Abby: “I know he has the power to help us. I don’t know if he will, but he is our only chance. Gwi-ma won’t grant us help and we won’t succeed alone.”

When they reached the end of the tunnel, Abby stopped to take in the sight. The entrance led to a dome like chamber with giant ice crystals hanging from the ceiling, a few of them almost reaching the floor. A ring of purple glowing runes encircled the room and a large block of stone like an altar sat in the middle, its sides also etched with symbols. Candles, pages thorn from books, old scrolls, vials of all shapes and sizes were scattered inside the ring of runes. There was no furniture of any kind, just ice. 

A figure dressed like Abby and Jinu sat on the edge of the stone altar, its head bowed, the wide brim of its hat hiding its features.

Abby bowed respectfully: “I am Abby, I come seeking your assistance.”

The figure lifted its head, revealing a curtain of light purple hair that covered its features, then cocked its head to the side as a curious dog would. It looked at Abby for a moment then moved its head towards Jinu.

Jinu copied Abby’s bow: “I am Jinu, we seek your aid.”

The figure stared Jinu down for a moment as well, then hopped off the stone altar with a playful move, like an excited child would get off his mother’s lap. He took off his hat and placed it on the altar then bowed to Abby and Jinu: “I am Mystery, welcome.”

Abby: “We need your assistance to defeat a powerful presence that took hold at the Serpent’s Whisper.”

Mystery: “And…?”

Jinu: “It holds two other demons captive. We must free them.”

Mystery crooked a finger at Jinu. “Come.” . Jinu walked towards Mystery. When he crossed over the ring of runes the cold vanished. Mystery met Jinu half way. “Who are they?”

Jinu: “Who?”

Mystery: “The captives, who are they to you?”

Jinu: “Friends.”

Mystery tilted his head the other way: “What would you give to get them back?”

Jinu stiffened and looked back at Abby. Abby gave him a small shake of the head. “What do you want?”

Mystery: “Let me see.”. He reached a hand out in an attempt to tip Jinu's hat back, but Jinu caught his wrist and stopped him. Mystery turned his head slightly to look at Jinu’s hand then back at Jinu. Jinu could see the corner of a yellow glowing eye peek from behind the curtain of hair.

Nobody moved for a long time. Jinu began to feel uncomfortable after a while and slowly let go of Mystery's wrist. Mystery gave a small nod and tipped Jinu's hat back. He looked Jinu up and down then leaned over to whisper next to his ear: “Would you drop to your knees and suck me off until I cum in your mouth?”.

Jinu recoiled, as a swarm of terrible memories from his past assaulted his mind. He tried to push Mystery away and when Mystery didn't budge, Jinu took a step back.

Mystery nodded once and moved away from Jinu. He focused on Abby and motioned for him to come over. Abby stepped inside the ring of runes and inwardly sighed with relief  at the absence of the bitter cold. Mystery got close to him and looked him over in the same way he did to Jinu. Abby stared down at him with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Mystery: “What would you give to have your injuries healed and your power restored?”. When Abby didn't answer, Mystery got on his tiptoes with a playful hop so he could reach to whisper in Abby's ear. “Would you let me fuck you while you beg for release?”.

It was Abby's turn to recoil at the horrifying memories running through his mind. Mystery smirked at him and Abby fought hard not to rip him to pieces right there and then. He locked eyes with Jinu for a second then looked back at Mystery. His mouth felt dry as he tried to form the answer. The struggle ended when he heard Jinu say: “Yes.” . He looked over at Jinu in time to see him slowly lower himself to his knees.

Mystery walked away from Abby and moved to stand in front of Jinu. He began to unbuckle his pants and Jinu closed his eyes and turned his head away slightly. Abby gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Mystery held a hand out to Jinu.  “Give me your hand.”. When Jinu hesitated, Mystery lightly kicked his knee. “Come on. If your friends were taken, they don't have much time left.”.

Jinu’s insides twisted and protested. Bile rose in his throat and he had to force himself to swallow it down. Slowly, he placed his hand in Mystery's and squeezed his eyes shut tight. He could only hope it would be over fast.

Mystery tugged gently at Jinu’s arm. “Get up.”

Jinu opened his eyes and saw Mystery's pants weren’t open. Instead, the weird demon was looking down at him with a friendly smile on his face.

Jinu got up slowly, confused but grateful. “You don't want me to…?”. He left the question unfinished. 

Mystery shook his head. He moved his gaze to Abby next. “You can breathe. You'll pass out. I don't want you to submit to me either.”

Abby realized he had been holding his breath since Mystery made his demand. He took a breath before speaking. “What do you want? Stop playing games.”

Mystery let go of Jinu's hand and walked over to Abby. He looked up at him, his hair falling to the side to reveal a glowing yellow eye. “I will restore your power in exchange for sanctuary. And I will help you if you take me with you to the underworld.”.

Abby’s gaze softened a bit. “You want sanctuary?”

Mystery nodded.

Abby: “From me?”

Another nod from Mystery.

Abby glanced at Jinu, but Jinu's face was unreadable. He turned his attention back to Mystery and without touching Mystery's skin, he used a claw to push his hair out of his face. “Why do you hide behind so many things?”

Mystery shrugged. 

Abby: “Do you want to give yourself to me?”

Mystery nodded. 

Abby : “Why?”

Mystery's voice was soft: “I know of you Abby. Gwi-ma’s proud, unbreakable general. Ruthless and merciless. Now I see you for what you really are.”

Abby: “What am I?”

Mystery didn't answer. Instead he lowered himself to his knees and bowed his head. Jinu walked next to Abby. Both of them looked down at Mystery and no one spoke for a long moment. 

Mystery broke the silence: “Jinu bonded you Abby, but you have bonded another. If he is one of those taken, you don't have much time left. “

Abby glanced at Jinu and silently formed the word: “Romance.”

Jinu nodded and gripped Abby’s forearm, giving him a reassuring squeeze. Abby was conflicted, the demon kneeling in front of him was feared by Gwi-ma himself. Yet he was bowing to him. Was this an elaborate trap or just another broken demon looking for a way out of misery? It didn't matter Abby decided, there was no other choice. 

Abby: “Stand up”. Mystery got to his feet and Abby looked him over. “I accept your deal.”. He leaned in and pressed his lips to Mystery's. Mystery got on his tiptoes again, trying to reach Abby better.

When the kiss ended, Jinu could see Mystery was blushing. That brought back thoughts of Romance, prompting him to speak. “What now? You said there isn't much time.”

Mystery nodded at Jinu then looked up at Abby. “May I touch you?”. When Abby gave him a small nod, Mystery slowly reached up and removed Abby’s hat and handed it to Jinu. Then he pushed Abby’s coat off his shoulders, letting it fall to the ground. With the tip of a claw, Mystery lifted the hem of Abby's shirt. “Please, I have to see.”.

Abby pulled his shirt over his head and Jinu gasped with shock when he saw the extent of Abby's injuries. 

Mystery did a slow circle around Abby. “They aren't healing right.”

Abby: “No. The shifters did something more than cut into me.”

Mystery: “May I?” he reached out a hand towards Abby's chest but halted before touching his skin until Abby nodded. Mystery's claw tip traced the patterns on Abby’s chest, stopping at the spots where Abby’s injuries began. He looked up at Abby: “This is not just from the shifters.”

Abby nodded.

Mystery tilted his head: “Gwi-ma?”

Abby: “Yes.”

Mystery: “It's not going to be easy and it's going to hurt.”

Abby: “Do what you have to do.”

Mystery nodded and looked at Jinu. “You too.”

Jinu looked confused. “I'm not injured that bad.”

Mystery took Abby’s hat from Jinu and gestured for Jinu to give him his hat as well. Jinu complied and Mystery walked over to the stone altar. “Show me.” he addressed Jinu as he placed both hats next to his on the stone.

Jinu took his coat off and unbuttoned his shirt. His cuts were not as bad as Abby's but they weren't healing as they should.

Mystery returned to Jinu. “May I touch you?”

Jinu: “Yes.” Mystery began to trace his patterns with the tip of his claw. His touch was light and Jinu suppressed a shiver of pleasure. 

Mystery finished his inspection. “It will hurt, but not as bad.”

Abby: “Just get it over with.”

Mystery walked to the stone altar in the middle and held his hands out. “Come.”. Abby and Jinu walked over cautiously.

Abby: “Start with me.”

Mystery: “Give me your hands.”

Mystery took Abby’s hands in his and bowed his head. Abby braced for what was to come but couldn't hold back a scream of agony as Mystery's magic began to course through him. Abby's patterns glowed and his cuts began to release wisps of green smoke as they closed. The pain was too much and Abby sank to his knees. Mystery didn't let go of his hands and continued to pour his magic into Abby. 

Jinu gritted his teeth and tried to not interfere. It was for Abby's good, but it was hard to see him like this. When Abby collapsed to the floor Jinu couldn't stand there any longer. He kneeled next to Abby and glared up at Mystery. Even through the curtain of hair hiding Mystery's eyes, Jinu could see their glow. It was stronger than anything he had even seen.

Mystery let go of Abby and held his hands out to Jinu. “Your turn.”. Jinu hesitated for a second then rose and took Mystery's hands. Searing pain enveloped him and he was also unable to fight back a scream. He sank to his knees and endured for a while longer, then he knew nothing more.

Abby got to his senses first. When he opened his eyes he saw Jinu laying down next to him and Mystery leaning against the stone altar, looking down at them. Mystery nodded once at Abby and held out a helping hand towards him. Abby glanced at Jinu again and when he saw his eyes flutter open he accepted Mystery's hand and got up. Mystery repeated his gesture with Jinu. 

Abby looked down at himself and was relieved to see his cuts were gone. “Thank you.” he gave Mystery a small bow. Jinu mimicked Abby: “Thank you, Mystery.”

Mystery nodded then looked up at Abby. Abby smirked at Mystery: “You want your payment now?”. When Mystery gave another small nod, Abby gripped his chin with his thumb and index finger and leaned in for a kiss. Mystery got on his tiptoes and pressed into the kiss. Abby slid his hands down Mystery's back, over then under his ass and pulled Mystery closer. Mystery wrapped his arms around Abby’s neck and hopped up, locking his legs around Abby’s waist.

Jinu bit back a laugh at the display of eagerness by Mystery and leaned his hip against the stone altar. He watched Abby and Mystery, his hand slowly rubbing his hardening cock through his pants. 

Abby tried to fight against his urges but lost. He took two steps towards Jinu and dropped Mystery's ass on the altar then took a fistfull of his hair and roughly pulled it back. “You want my cock in you this fucking bad?” he growled at Mystery. When Mystery didn't answer Abby used his other hand to grip his chin and squeezed. “Answer me.”

Mystery's voice was a whisper: “Yes.”

Abby pulled harder on Mystery's hair. “Then get up and strip.”. He gave Mystery a shove then stepped away. Mystery sat up, but before he could get off the altar Abby grabbed him by the back of his coat and pushed him into Jinu. “Undress him.” he ordered Jinu and began unbuckling his pants. 

Jinu caught Mystery and smiled the same way Abby did. A sudden urge to cause Mystery pain before granting him pleasure came upon him and he hastily took Mystery's coat off, then his shirt. When he reached for his pants, Mystery wrapped his arms around Jinu’s ribs and hid his face against Jinu’s chest. Jinu opened Mystery's pants and pushed them down his thighs then tangled both hands in his light blue hair and forced his face up so he could look at him. “He's going to fuck you and you're going to take it.”

Abby took hold of Mystery's hips with one hand and positioned his cock against his entrance with the other. 

Jinu felt Mystery shiver and tighten his embrace. Emotions warred inside Jinu and the urge to cause pain lost. He looked closer at Mystery, felt his frantic heartbeat, his cold, sweaty hands on his back, and the shiver, it wasn't a shiver at all, Mystery was trembling with fear. Jinu looked at Abby and called his name. When Abby gave no indication that he heard Jinu, he called louder: “Abby, stop!”

Abby turned a sharp gaze on Jinu and his voice held anger: “What?!”

Jinu shook his head at him and pointed with his chin down at Mystery. 

This time Abby sounded confused: “What?”  

Jinu pulled Mystery against him and away from Abby, then cupped Mystery's chin gently and lifted his face up. With one claw Jinu brushed the bangs away from Mystery's face: “Is this your first time?” 

Mystery gave a small nod.

Abby was incredulous. “Ever?”

Another small nod from Mystery and a barely audible: “Yes.”

Abby sighed: “Oh for fuck's sake, come here.”. He pulled Mystery's pants up and lifted him to sit on the edge of the stone. With the red haze of lust fading away, he also noticed the hundreds of scars on Mystery's back. Abby stood to one side of Mystery and Jinu to the other side.

Jinu: “Why didn't you say anything?”

Mystery shrugged. 

Abby: “Do you want this?”

Mystery: “Yes.”

Abby glanced at Jinu and Jinu gave a nod back. “I'm not gentle, I can’t always control myself. Jinu is different in that way.”

Mystery held up a hand to stop Abby from talking, then took a breath and spoke: “You don't understand Abby, I want you, all of you.”. He turned his head slowly to face Jinu: “You are different and I want you, but it has to be Abby now.” . He pulled a knee up and placed his boot on the table and unlaced it, then did the same with the other. He kicked his boots off and pushed down his pants.

Abby looked him up and down and smiled. “Come here little one…” he sat on the edge of the altar and motioned Mystery over. Mystery straddled Abby and waited. Abby ran his hand through Mystery’s hair. “Take my cock out.” . Mystery fumbled with Abby’s pants but eventually managed to free his cock. “Stroke it.”. Mystery’s strokes were clumsy and tentative. Abby chuckled: “Don’t be scared, you’re going to take it up your ass in a bit.”

Mystery moaned softly and reached out for a kiss. Abby indulged him with a short kiss then glanced at Jinu and gave him a tilt of the head in Mystery’s direction. Jinu stepped behind Mystery and ran his claws gently along his scarred back, along his hips and over his ass. When Jinu’s wet finger rubbed against Mystery’s entrance he let out a small gasp and tried to move away.

Abby grabbed his hips and growled at him: “Sit still Mystery.”

Mystery moaned and tried to kiss Abby again. Abby moved a hand on the back of Mystery’s neck and held him. “I said sit still. Next time you misbehave you’ll get punished, understand?”

Mystery managed a soft: “Yes.”

Abby: “Good. Now put your arms around my neck.” . Mystery obeyed and Abby lifted his ass. Jinu reached under him and wrapped his hand around Abby’s cock, positioning it against Mystery’s entrance. Abby brushed Mystery’s bangs away from his face. “Look at me.” . When Mystery met his gaze Abby continued: “You have to relax, but you won’t. You’ll tense up out of reflex and it’s going to hurt. You can scream, you can cry, whatever you want, just don’t pull away. If you try to pull away from me I’m really going to make it hurt. Understand?”

Jinu placed a kiss on Mystery’s shoulder and whispered in his ear: “It’s going to be alright.”

Mystery whispered: “I understand.”

Abby lowered Mystery on his cock gently. Mystery bit his lower lip against the pain but didn’t pull away. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back against Jinu. Jinu’s lips brushed against his ear when he spoke: “Don’t close your eyes. Look at him.”. Jinu wrapped an arm around Mystery’s waist and prevented him from pulling away as Abby slid his cock inside him. Mystery cried out and dug his claws in Abby’s back.

Abby: “Fuck, relax Mystery. You’re so fucking tight right now.”

Mystery closed his eyes for a few seconds then looked back at Abby: “Just keep going, please.”

Abby pushed Mystery’s ass down on his cock and when it slid in deep enough to hit the right spot Mystery moaned loudly and finally relaxed. He sagged against Jinu and closed his eyes as Abby began to slowly thrust inside him. Abby’s palm left a stinging red mark on his left cheek.

Abby growled at him: “Eyes on me.” . When Mystery didn’t obey Abby hit him again. “I said eyes on me.” . Another slap landed and Abby felt Mystery tense up. “Are you going to cum, Mystery? Come undone so easily?". Abby barely finished his sentence before feeling Mystery’s warm cum land on his abdomen. 

The runes around the room and on the altar flared purple as Mystery moaned and pressed himself back against Jinu. Abby glanced at the runes, but when Mystery gave no sign of being alarmed, he shrugged it off.

Jinu looked at the display with concern. “Is everything alright Mystery?”

Mystery began to ride Abby’s cock despite Abby’s warning to sit still. “Please don't stop.”

Abby chuckled “Oh you're going to be a fun one to train. You. Just. Won't. Listen. “ he slapped Mystery's ass after every word for emphasis. The only effect Abby’s punishment had on Mystery was to make him moan louder. 

Jinu smirked at Abby: “You might have your hands full for a while.”

Abby crooked a finger at Jinu and Jinu leaned over towards him. Abby gripped Jinu’s chin roughly and pulled him in for a kiss over Mystery's shoulder. “I don't know what's gotten into you Jinu but I like it.”. He released his grip on Jinu’s chin and slapped his cheek hard enough to sting. “Now jerk him off.”

Jinu wrapped his left hand around Mystery’s cock and stroked it. With a finger from his other hand, he picked up some of Mystery’s cum from Abby’s chest and pressed it against Mystery’s lips. Mystery took Jinu’s finger in his mouth and swirled his tongue around it. He lowered himself harder and faster on Abby’s cock and Jinu slid his hand down over Mystery’s throat. He squeezed hard enough to silence his moans.

Jinu: “Yeah, just like this Mystery. Feel nothing but the cock filling you up right now.”. Mystery reached a hand back and dug his claws into Jinu’s lower back. The runes in the room flared again, this time with a red color and more of Mystery’s cum landed on Jinu’s hand. Jinu groaned, let go of Mystery and hastily freed his protesting cock. “Give him to me Abby.”

Abby was so entranced by Jinu he just lifted a panting Mystery off his cock and held him still. Jinu slid inside Mystery and moaned: “You feel so good Mystery.”. He began to thrust and had to slow down almost immediately. “So tight still. Even after Abby stretched you up. Fuck.”

Abby looked at Jinu with lust filled eyes and growled: “Fuck him harder Jinu.”. Then at Mystery: “You like getting fucked, don’t you? Getting passed around like a slut?”

Mystery gasped: “Yes.”

Abby took Mystery’s cock in his hand and stroked it. When Jinu didn’t speed up he barked at him: “Fuck him harder. Do it Jinu.”

Jinu increased his pace, his breathing turned ragged and he bit down on Mystery’s shoulder. Something odd was at play here, the pleasure was much more intense, his body was more sensitive, but right now he didn’t care how it was possible. “You’ve got me so turned on. I can’t…”

Abby: “Look at me Jinu. Fuck him hard. Fill him up.”

Jinu shuddered and pushed deep and hard into Mystery as he released his load. He kept his eyes on Abby and kissed Mystery’s neck while pumping into him. Abby grabbed Mystery’s ass with both hands and pulled him away from Jinu, resettling him on his own cock. He pulled him down hard while thrusting up. “I want you to cum again Mystery. Let me feel you squeeze my cock while I fill you up.” . When Jinu wiped the cum on his hand on Mystery’s lips, Abby couldn’t hold back anymore. He kissed Mystery hard and with a few more deep thrusts he shot his cum inside him. Mystery moaned into the kiss and his body tensed up, fulfilling Abby’s wish and squeezing his cock. The room flared with dark red light as Mystery came a third time, spilling a few more drops of cum on Abby’s chest.

Abby rested his forehead against Mystery’s and they both took deep breaths. Jinu walked to the side and wrapped an arm around Mystery’s shoulders. “Are you alright?” .

Mystery gave an almost imperceptible nod.

Abby’s voice held a smile: “Are you done or does your little ass need more pounding?”

Mystery shivered but shook his head no. “We have to get your friends. They don’t have much time left.”

Chapter 13

Reunion

(Mystery/Romance)

Mystery disentangled himself from Abby with a whimper. “You are damn big.” he complained as he got on the stone altar on his hands and knees and crawled towards the middle. Once there, he reached for the center and the air shimmered around his hands. A stack of finely woven washcloths appeared when he pulled his arms back and he placed them as close to Abby as he could reach. He repeated the motion and pulled out a bowl full of water and pushed it towards the edge of the table. “Here you go, clean up. Keep your shirts off for now please.”

Jinu dipped a washcloth in the bowl and involuntarily shivered. “What is this? I didn’t know water could be so cold and not turn to ice.”

Mystery smiled and tipped his head towards Jinu’s still hard cock. “You need to calm down.” . When Jinu didn’t protest any longer, Mystery went back to work, pulling out some more washcloths and another bowl of water from thin air and placing them away from Abby and Jinu.

Jinu glanced at the other bowl, from which wisps of steam were rising and sighed. “You’re evil.”

Mystery hopped off the table and began to put himself back in order. When he finished, he glanced at Abby and Jinu and nodded once, approving of their state of undress. “It will not take long.” he assured them and went to crouch over some of the vials lying on the floor. Abby and Jinu tried to peek at what Mystery was doing, but couldn’t get a look. After a few minutes, Mystery stood up and walked over to them holding a vial of deep red liquid.

When he spoke, Mystery’s voice was strong and flat. “I will grant you power. Do you accept it?”

Abby glanced at Jinu before answering: “Yes.”

Mystery hopped back on the table and reached towards the middle, pulling out a set of restraints. He held them up for Abby and Jinu to see. “You’ll have to hold still. Once I begin, there is no stopping it. If I am interrupted it won’t be good for you.”

Abby: “I’ll hold him. There’s no need for those.”

Mystery nodded and made the restraints vanish into the middle of the altar, then got back down. “Let’s begin.” . He gestured for Jinu to lay down on the floor. When Jinu hesitated, Mystery took his coat off and placed it on the ground. “There you go. On your back please.”

Jinu did as instructed and Mystery kneeled next to him. He removed the cap from the vial of dark red liquid and dipped a claw in it. “May I touch you?” he asked Jinu. Jinu nodded and Mystery began to trace a rune on Jinu’s chest using the liquid from the vial. When he was done he moved next to Jinu’s head and placed the tip of all his claws on Jinu’s temples. He looked up at Abby: “This is when you have to hold him. Don’t disturb the symbol please.”

Abby straddled Jinu’s hips and leaning over him, he gripped his upper arms. “Will this do?”

Mystery shrugged then looked down at Jinu. “Do you want to bite on something?”

Jinu: “You didn’t ask that last time.”

Mystery: “You won’t pass out from this. There is no retreating into the darkness this time.”

Jinu: “Just do it.”

Mystery bowed his head and thin strings of red light extended from his claws into Jinu’s temples. The symbol on Jinu’s chest flared to life with the same dark red color and Abby strained to hold him down. The ritual only lasted two minutes until the symbol on Jinu’s chest sank into him and Mystery removed his hands from Jinu’s head, but by the end Abby was breathing heavily from the effort and Jinu’s throat was raw from the screams.

Mystery: “It’s over. You’re fine, get up.”

Abby got up and held out a helping hand out to Jinu. Jinu sat up slowly and when nothing seemed to hurt anymore, took Abby’s hand and got up.

Jinu: “I don’t feel any different.”

Mystery got to his feet and gestured for Jinu to come closer. “May I touch you?”

Jinu: “Yes. Why do you keep asking?”

Mystery shrugged and out of nowhere, swiped at Jinu’s chest with his claws, leaving four deep gashes behind. Jinu staggered and placed a hand over the wound. Abby launched himself at Mystery. With unnatural jerky movements, Mystery held out his left hand, palm up, fingers slightly crooked and tendrils of black and dark red energy shot out from his claws, wrapping Abby in a cocoon, halting his attack.

Jinu: “What the fuck?” . He looked down at himself and was surprised to see that his hand and chest were covered in blood, but there was no wound. He patted the spot where the gashes were. “How?”

Mystery gave a small nod before speaking: “You heal fast, you are stronger, you can wield some of my power. It will fade over time. You are too weak to hold on to it right now. It will hold long enough to rescue your friends.”. He closed his left hand and the energy holding Abby in place vanished. Mystery turned his gaze on him. “Do not confuse what I am with who I am Abby. Please.”

Abby growled back at him: “You and I are going to have words once this is done.”

Mystery nodded. “Words are fine. Now it is your turn.”. He pointed at his coat still lying on the ground, then looked at Jinu: “You are strong enough to hold him down now. Let’s finish this.” . Mystery repeated the ritual and when Abby’s screams stopped he clapped his hands excitedly, startling both Abby and Jinu. “He’s going to be amazing like this.” then he got serious again: “Let’s move.”

Abby, Jinu and Mystery stood at the base of the mist shrouded jagged mountain peak. When a powerful wave of untamed ancient magic ran through them, none of the three demons even flinched.

Abby began to climb but Mystery stopped him. “Wait.”. Abby aimed a sharp look at Mystery, but Mystery didn’t notice it. He was already kneeling on the ground, both hands pressed into the forest soil. A wave of energy spread from his hands and both Abby and Jinu felt it run through them. Mystery stood up and gave a small nod. “It knows we’re here but it won’t be able to track us now. We can go.”

Abby: “What is it?”

Mystery: “A powerful Nureo and its minions. I have heard of them, shapeshifters from another plane. Your friends might be worse off than I first thought. “

Jinu: “Let’s go.”

They charged up the mountain with Mystery leading the way. As he ran, motes of black energy began to swirl around him. Abby and Jinu had to try hard to keep up with him, but as they pushed their limits, motes of dark red energy spread around them and empowered them. 

As they got closer to the summit, hordes of the smaller creatures tried to bar their path. Mystery extended his right hand and a sword appeared, made of the same magic that surrounded him. He glanced over his shoulder at Jinu and Abby then charged into the mass of creatures and began a deadly dance. Abby followed Mystery's example and materialised his own sword. Jinu took a few moments longer, but by the time the three demons reached the cave entrance, all of them held swords.

The green portal that disgorged creatures into the forest and blocked the path into the cave was beginning to form. Mystery studied it, tilting his head to the left then to the right. The portal opened, the creatures came through, then it closed. Mystery walked over to the entrance then raked his claws over the side. A pulse of green light brightened the area for a second then subsided.

Mystery: “It won't open again. The rune circle is broken.”

Abby walked past Mystery and deeper into the cave and the other two followed. The tunnel led them to a small cave and they carefully peeked inside. Jinu gasped when he saw what lay within. Romance and Baby hanged from the ceiling by their wrists. Their clothes were shredded and cuts covered their bodies. Blood from the cuts dripped into small bowls beneath their feet.

Jinu tried to rush in but Abby grabbed his arm and stopped him. “We have to help them.”

Abby shook his head and looked at Mystery. Mystery tilted his head to the left as he studied the scene before him. “It's not them.” . He moved inside the cavern and his sword sliced the fake Baby in half. The disguise faded and a thin, desiccated body fell to the floor. He did the same to the fake Romance with the same result. 

Abby walked in and looked at the bodies. “Must be the two that we met in the forest.”

Jinu: “Where are they then?”

Mystery pointed at another tunnel leading deeper in the mountain and they followed it. When the tunnel began to widen, two shapeshifters, taking the forms of hulking beasts, lunged from the shadows. Jinu met one of them, parrying massive claws before striking back and tearing it in half. Abby engaged the other, his claws tearing at the creature's flanks while dodging its attacks. Mystery walked past Abby and Jinu, ignoring the fight. A third shapeshifter tried to bar Mystery’s path. Mystery held his right hand out, palm up, fingers slightly crooked and when he squeezed his hand into a fist, the shifter exploded into a thousand pieces.

Jinu and Abby caught up to him just in time for all three of them to be swept by a wave of magic that made them feel sick for a moment. Mystery looked at the ceiling for a second before speaking: “Hurry.” . He ran forward and Jinu and Abby followed. A massive cavern greeted them at the end of the tunnel and the scene before them brought all three to a stop.

A vortex of green mist swirled in the middle of the room. Above it, a shifter larger than the ones they met before held a limp Baby by his throat. Tendril of dark red energy along with blood seeped from Baby’s wounds and into the vortex. Mystery was lying still on the floor next to the swirling mist. He was also wounded but no blood covered him or the floor beneath him.

The large shifter roared and two smaller beasts launched themselves at the demons. Abby tangled with one and Jinu with the other. Mystery took a few more steps into the room and gave a small bow to the large shifter: “Nureo.”

Nureo laughed before speaking: “Mystery. You’re too late.”

Mystery shrugged: “So you say.”

Nureo stared him down for a moment: “You grow bolder demon. It will be your undoing.”

Mystery: “Leave.”

Nureo laughed then grew serious: “No.”

Mystery shrugged and took another step forward, a low hum of power emanating from him. “So be it.” . Nureo threw Baby to the floor on top of Romance and with a gesture summoned a torrent of sickly green tendrils from the vortex of mist. They lashed out at Mystery like whips. Mystery met them with a shimmering shield of black energy that simply swallowed the attacks. Nureo’s eyes widened slightly in surprise then gestured again and the entire vortex moved, aiming to engulf Mystery.

Mystery stood his ground and with unnaturally jerky movements brought up tendrils of dark energy from his fingertips. The vortex was ripped apart and green mist filled the room. Nureo roared with anger and his sickly magic clashed against Mystery’s power. At first Mystery pushed forward, his magic a relentless tide forcing Nureo back. Then Neuro unleashed a deafening roar and concentrated a blast that staggered Mystery. Another blast followed and Mystery had to give up his attack and shield himself instead. He braced for another blow but it didn’t come. Instead he hear Abby call out to him: “Mystery, are you alright?”

Mystery walked to the middle of the room and saw the creature lying on the ground, still alive but gravely injured.

Jinu smirked: “This is what happens when you don’t watch your back.”

Mystery kneeled next to the creature then looked up at Jinu: “And this is what happens if I touch someone with my magic without permission.” . He moved his gaze to Neuro and smiled an evil smile. “I gave you the chance to leave old friend.” . Mystery’s palm covered Neuro’s face and with a fading shriek of pain, Neuro withered away, leaving nothing but bones behind. The mist covering the room vanished along with Neuro’s last echoing cry.

Jinu looked over at where Baby and Romance were. Baby was sitting on the floor, alive and awake, and was cradling Romance’s still form to his chest. Jinu cried out: “Baby, Romance!” and ran to them and knelt. Abby glanced with concern at the pile of bones that were once Neuro, then followed Jinu.

Jinu: “Are you alright Baby? What happened?” he asked while frantically checking Romance over.

Baby didn’t answer, just hugged Romance tighter. Abby knelt next to them and tried to take Romance away from Baby. When Baby didn’t allow it, Abby growled at him: “Let me see.”

Baby: “Too late, he’s gone.”

Jinu: “No!” . He looked at Abby, searching for a different answer. When Abby shook his head, Jinu stood up and walked to Mystery. “Help Romance, you have to help him!”

Mystery rose and glanced at Romance, then also shook his head. When Mystery tried to walk away, Jinu caught his arm. “I know you can help him. Whatever you want, just help him!”

Mystery moved with blinding speed. One moment Jinu was holding his arm and pleading with him, the next moment Mystery had Jinu by the throat and lifted him from the floor. Jinu struggled against Mystery’s grip but there was no point. When Abby tensed up and readied a charge, Mystery held his other hand out, palm up, fingers poised to bind Abby. Abby settled back down and Mystery gave a small nod.

With his last breath Jinu pleaded: “Please save him.”

Mystery looked at Jinu, then at Abby, then at Baby who was gazing back at Mystery with his mouth open, then back at Jinu in time to see him go limp. Mystery dropped him unceremoniously to the floor and went to kneel next to Abby. “There is nothing I can do for him. I can’t touch him without permission.” . He looked straight at Abby and continued: “You have formed a bond with him and it is possible to do it through the bond if you allow it,”

Abby: “Yes, do it.” . When Mystery tried to add more, Abby snapped at him: “Whatever it takes just do it! Now! Please.”

Mystery directed Abby to lay Romance on the floor, then to kneel by his head and place his hands on Romance’s temples. Mystery stood behind Abby. “May I touch you?”

Abby: “Yes.” . When Mystery touched his temples, Abby decided that he didn’t feel this much pain in his entire life as a human and as a demon combined. Let alone in a single day. Baby and Romance were going to owe him for all eternity. Especially Romance. He heard Mystery say: “It is done.” and realised the pain was gone. He opened his eyes and saw that Romance’s injuries were healed and his eyes were fluttering open.

Romance opened his eyes and looked at Abby for a moment, then his gaze shifted to Mystery. Abby moved fast, turning and blocking Mystery’s way. “Stop, Mystery, stop. Don’t look at him, shake the images off.”

Mystery bumped into Abby then took a few steps back, shaking his head over and over. When that didn’t seem to work, he asked: “What is this?”

Abby chucked: “It’s his gift from Gwi-ma.”

Jinu recovered and walked over. Baby and Romance got to their feet. Abby tried to keep himself between Romance and Mystery, but both Romance and Baby were curious about the newcomer. Mystery and Romance locked gazes again and this time it was Jinu’s turn to get between them.

Abby sighed: “This is going to be a problem until they get it over with.” . He looked at Romance: “How are you feeling?”

Romance ran a hand down his chest: “Brand new.”

Abby turned his focus on Mystery: “Ask permission and have at it. We’ll wait.”

Mystery blushed: “May I touch you Romance?”

Romance: “You can put your hands all over me anytime you want.”

Abby placed a hand on the back of Baby’s neck and another around Jinu’s shoulders and guided them forcefully out of the room and into the tunnel. “Let’s go.”

Baby protested: “I want to watch. Come on Abby.”

Abby rolled his eyes and gave Baby a small shove into the tunnel’s wall, then left him behind as Jinu and him continued further out.

Mystery and Romance looked at each other with anticipation for a long moment. Mystery took Romance’s hat off and hung it from a jutting shard of rock, then did the same with his. 

When Mystery returned, Romance gave a slight smile: “Well, I'm here to make your dreams come true.” . He leaned in, his lips brushing against Mystery's ear: “What do you want to do first?”

Mystery shivered when he felt Romance's warm breath on his skin. He flushed and placed both hands on Romance’s face, then pulled him in for a kiss. Romance returned the kiss and when Mystery pulled back Romance chuckled: “You want to take control?”. Mystery shook his head, but his hands were already exploring Romance's body. “You want me to take control?”. Mystery nodded and Romance chuckled again: “As you wish.”

He took Mystery's hand, sat down on the floor and pulled Mystery along. He gently pushed him until he was lying on his back then straddled him. Romance’s fingers deftly unbuttoned Mystery's shirt revealing his flushed skin. “Mmm you're so eager.” he whispered and leaned down to kiss Mystery's collarbone.

Mystery arched into the touch and a soft moan escaped his lips. Romance placed a soft kiss on his lips and whispered: “Tell me what you want.”

Mystery: “Don’t tease. Please.”

Romance smiled and his hands moved to Mystery's belt: “Patience little one.”. He unbuckled the belt, his claws brushing against Mystery's hard cock. “Let’s take this slow.”

Mystery's hips bucked as Romance's fingers traced the outline of his hard cock through his pants. He pleaded again: “Don’t tease.” , his hands reaching for Romance's waistband. Romance caught his wrists and pinned them above his head. “Slow can be fun. Slow is more rewarding.” . He leaned down and kissed Mystery hard. Mystery moaned into the kiss, his body writhing beneath Romance. 

When the kiss ended, Romance resumed teasing Mystery with soft kisses down his neck. Mystery tangled his hands in Romance’s hair and tried to guide him back up. Romance didn’t give in, instead he asked: “What do you want me to do to you?” , his hand wrapping around Mystery's aching cock through his pants.

Mystery gasped and thrusted his hips up. “Fuck me.” he managed to get out between moans.

Romance smiled, his hand stroking Mystery through the fabric. “Your wish is my command.” . He sat up and began to teasingly unbuckle his own pants. Mystery watched and bit his lower lip. His hands reached for Romance's cock as soon as it was free.

Romance caught his wrists again. He tsked at Mystery. “Impatient.” . Then he relented: “But I like it.” . His lips found Mystery's and kissed him hard again. When the kiss ended Romance whispered: “Your clothes are in the way. And so are mine. Don't you want them to go away?”

Mystery nodded and their clothing turned to swirling mist, restelling into a soft blanket under Mystery. Romance purred: “Good…” he moved to Mystery's side and kicked his thigh with a knee “...now spread your legs.”

When Mystery did as instructed, Romance positioned himself between his legs and pressed a slick finger against Mystery's entrance. Mystery gasped and tensed, his hips lifting to meet Romance's touch. Romance gently rubbed his finger over Mystery's entrance “You're so tight, I can’t wait to feel you around me.” . His voice was thick with desire and when Mystery moaned and pressed himself against Romance’s finger, Romance couldn’t resist any longer. He positioned his cock and began pushing inside Mystery. 

Mystery gasped as the tip of Romance’s cock entered him. Romance placed a palm on Mystery's abdomen and held him still as he slid the rest of his cock in. “You feel so good.” he moaned and began to move his hips slowly. 

Mystery arched his back and tried to match Romance’s movements. His hands reached for Romance's body and his nails dug into skin. Romance chuckled and moved his hips faster, slamming his body into Mystery's. “Like this?”

Mystery shook his head. Romance leaned over and kissed him and ran his claws over Mystery's ribs, causing him to squirm. “Show me how then.”. He grabbed Mystery and rolled over, making Mystery straddled him. “Ride me.” he playfully slapped Mystery's ass, then gripped his hips.

Mystery panted as he rolled his hips and rode Romance's cock. His movements were clumsy and uncoordinated as he tried to speed up. Romance tried to guide him but Mystery was too eager. His cock leaked precum on Romance’s stomach.

Romance moaned: “Slow down, you’re going to make me cum.”

Romance's words made Mystery ride him even faster. Romance wrapped his hand around Mystery's cock and stroked. He lifted his hips to meet Mystery's thrusts, his body tensing, ready to spill.

Romance: “Do it then, make me cum. Make me fill you up.”

Mystery released a long moan as his cock pulsed in Romance’s hand, shooting ribbons of cum over Romance’s stomach. Romance wrapped his other arm around Mystery’s waist and pulled him against his chest, holding him still. He pumped his hips, thrusting into Mystery until his body shuddered and his cock emptied inside Mystery. 

They stood there for a moment, Mystery slumped over Romance, their breaths coming in short gasps. Romance played with Mystery's hair: “That was intense.”

Mystery nodded and sighed with content. Romance lifted Mystery's head and tried to brush the hair out of his face. Mystery shook his head causing his bangs to cover his eyes again. Romance chuckled: “Alright, alright.”. He tapped Mystery’s nose with the tip of a finger then hugged him to his chest. 

Movement drew Romance's attention to the tunnel entrance. He saw Baby leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. When their eyes locked, Baby gave Romance a mock two finger salute then snapped his fingers and headed into the tunnel. Romance snatched the black handkerchief floating down, then hugged Mystery again and buried his face in his light purple hair.

Chapter 14

Return

(Abby/Jinu and Baby/Mystery)

Abby and Jinu left Baby behind and walked further through the tunnel. When they could no longer hear Mystery and Romance, Abby stopped and faced Jinu. 

Abby: “Thank you for what you did for me.” . He leaned against the wall and looked at the low ceiling before continuing: “For not abandoning me.”

Jinu scoffed and crossed his arms. “Please don’t act like I had a choice. And you wouldn’t have left me either.”

Abby: “No, I wouldn’t have and I never will.” . He pushed off the wall, his confident smirk still on his lips but something in his eyes hardened. He took a step closer to Jinu.  “Because you belong to me Jinu. Always will.”

Jinu mimicked Abby’s smirk: “Oh, really?”

Abby closed the distance between them. “You tried to fight against this before.” his hand closed around Jinu’s arm. “And every path you’ve taken, every choice you’ve made, it all led back to this, didn’t it? To me.”

Jinu tried to break free but Abby tightened his grip. “I’m not your pet to grab whenever you want.”

Abby: “You’re not my pet. But you are mine.”

Jinu: “You think I’ll just roll over for you?”

A slow predatory smile spread across Abby’s face: “Oh, I don’t think, I know.”

Jinu’s eyes flashed yellow and he twisted his body, breaking free of Abby’s hold. He aimed a fist at Abby’s jaw, but Abby deflected the blow then chuckled: “You’re stubborn today, aren’t you.” . Jinu replied with another attempt to catch Abby off guard. This time Abby caught Jinu’s wrist and twisted, pulling Jinu against his chest. He ran his tongue slowly up Jinu’s neck and over his cheek then growled: “Mine!” before releasing Jinu with a shove.

Jinu tried another lunge, then another and another, until Abby managed to leave a gash on Jinu’s thigh. Still empowered by Mystery, the wound closed fast, but Jinu stumbled and had to steady himself with a hand against the wall.

Abby taunted: “Is that all you got?”

Jinu: “I’ll show you!” he feigned a punch to Abby’s face, then dropped low, aiming for his legs. Abby had enough time to roll his eyes before sidestepping the attack. Jinu tried to recover but Abby already had him by his wrist again.

Abby: “You fight well…” his voice was a growl next to Jinu’s ear “... but not well enough.” . He spun Jinu around and slammed him back against the tunnel wall, hard enough to knock the breath out of him.

Jinu: “Let go!” he demanded and tried to knee Abby.

Abby pressed his thigh between Jinu’s and pinned his wrists over his head, ending the struggle. “Never.” . His eyes locked on Jinu’s: “See? You always end up here…” his thumb brushed softly over Jinu’s arm “...in my hands, where you belong."

For a moment, only their ragged breaths filled the tunnel. Abby leaned in and whispered: “Mine.” then left a trail of goosebumps down Jinu’s neck with soft kisses. Jinu shivered and Abby released his left wrist and gripped his chin instead, tilting Jinu’s head back. Their eyes met and in Abby’s gaze, Jinu saw the truth. He managed a shaky: “Yes” in response to Abby’s claim. Abby’s reply was a rough kiss and Jinu felt himself lean into it.

Abby's hands moved to Jinu’s hips, pulling Jinu tight against his chest. Jinu wrapped his arms around Abby’s neck as the kiss continued. 

Abby: “Tell me you're mine Jinu. Tell me you belong to me.”. The newly acquired rebellious streak warred with Jinu’s desire to give in. He took too long to answer and Abby pushed him roughly against the wall again. Abby tore Jinu’s shirt open and ran his claws down his chest, hooking a finger under Jinu’s waistband.

Jinu pushed his hips forward and closed his hands around Abby’s biceps. “Why do you do this to me Abby?”

Abby slid his hand inside Jinu's pants and wrapped it around his hard cock. “Look at yourself Jinu.”. He stroked Jinu slowly causing him to squirm. “You want this, even when you fight against it.”

Jinu’s voice held anger and his words were clipped: “Yes, I fucking want you.” he moved to unbuckle Abby's pants, “And you know it.” Abby’s pants came loose and Jinu reached in “I hate it…” he freed Abby's cock and gripped it “... that you hold so much power over me…” he lifted his eyes and met Abby's gaze “... but I can't help it.” he began to stroke Abby.

Abby looked at Jinu like he was a tasty meal. He released Jinu’s cock and made a fist in Jinu’s hair. With his other hand he gripped Jinu’s chin. “That's right. Mine.”

Jinu: “Yours.” . He tried to reach for a kiss but Abby held him still.

Abby: “No, you don’t get anything.” he spun Jinu and pressed his chest against the wall then leaned over to whisper in his ear. “You’ve been naughty. You’re getting fucked like a naughty slut” . With rough movements, he stripped Jinu’s coat and thorn shirt and threw them on the ground, then gripped Jinu’s hips and pulled him backwards a few steps. “Hands on the wall.” . Abby emphasized his command with a hard slap on Jinu’s ass. Jinu placed his palms on the wall and Abby pulled him back another step, then pushed his pants down. Another hard slap landed on Jinu’s left cheek. “Arch your back, push your ass up.” . Jinu complied and Abby rewarded him with an even harder slap. Jinu grunted but didn’t move. “Good…” Abby purred and left another palm print on his ass, causing Jinu to grunt again.

Jinu felt the tip of Abby’s cock rub against his entrance and had to try really hard to not push his hips back. His own cock twitched with anticipation and demanded attention. He moaned and shivered when Abby began to push inside him and gasp when the tip slid in. He braced for the rough thrust that usually followed but instead he felt Abby’s cock pull out. A moan of protest escaped his lips followed by a grunt when Abby pushed back inside him. The teasing made Jinu’s cock leak precum, as Abby continued to fill him just short of his pleasure spot, then fully pull out again. He endured for a while but his body demanded more. The next time Abby slid his cock inside him, Jinu pushed back against him and moaned loudly when Abby slid deep enough to hit the right spot.

Abby chuckled: “Do you deserve pleasure Jinu?”

Jinu: “Please Abby.”

Abby: “Please Abby what?” he thrusted hard and deep once inside Jinu then resumed his teasing.

Jinu gasped. “Please fuck me hard.”

Abby chuckled again: “Why?” he gave Jinu another deep thrust.

Jinu sighed in defeat: “Because I’m yours.”

Abby growled and held on to Jinu’s hips as he began to thrust hard and deep. Each time Abby’s hip slapped against Jinu’s ass he pushed him a bit closer to the wall. Abby pounded him hard, making Jinu moan louder and louder, until Jinu found himself upright again, with his chest pressed against the wall. Abby let go of his hips and tangled a hand in his hair, pulling Jinu’s head back. He ran the thumb of his other hand across Jinu’s lips, roughly parting them until Jinu began sucking on it. Abby growled: “Yes… like that Jinu. You’re such a good slut.”

Jinu was grateful Abby fucked him from behind. He could close his eyes and let the pleasure take over. He didn’t fight the shivers or the moans caused by Abby, he just surrendered to the sensations. His lips closed around Abby’s thumb and he gently sucked on it. Every muscle in his body was tense and his cock was so hard it ached. Jinu wanted release but didn’t dare to ask.

Abby’s grunts became louder as he sank his cock inside Jinu again and again. He tightened his grip on Jinu’s hair: “Fuck, you feel so good.” . Jinu gave a muffled reply and Abby took his finger out of Jinu’s mouth. “Do you want to cum Jinu?”

Jinu shivered: “Yes, yes, please.”

Abby released Jinu’s hair and wrapped an arm around his waist. He braced himself against the wall with the other arm and growled next to Jinu’s ear: “Jerk off Jinu. I want your ass to massage my cock when I spill inside you.”

Jinu braced his left arm against the wall and rested his forehead on it. With his right hand he stroked his cock in rhythm with Abby’s thrusts. With each stroke, Jinu’s body tensed up even harder, his orgasm building.

Abby felt Jinu become tense. “That’s it Jinu. That’s it. Cum for me.” . Jinu’s and Abby’s release came at the same time. Abby growled: “Mine!” and bit down hard on Jinu’s shoulder. Jinu cried out: “Fuck!’ and slumped against the wall as his knees gave out. Abby held him upright and bit down on his shoulder again.

When the pleasure faded, Abby pulled slowly out of Jinu, smiling at the moan it caused. “Fuck, that was good.”

Baby stepped from the shadows: “It sure looked good.”

Abby turned sharply towards him. “I thought you were keeping an eye on Romance and Mystery.”

Baby shrugged. “They were done rather quickly. Came to check on the two of you. Caught the ending.” . He looked both Abby and Jinu up and down then snapped his fingers, conjuring a black handkerchief in front of Abby. He leaned against the wall, averting his gaze from them and crossed his arms. “Thank you for coming back for us.”

Abby began to clean up. “What happened?”

Baby: “I was keeping watch with Jinu and the mist grew thick all of a sudden. Some sort of portal opened below me and those things pulled me through. Ended up in that room you found us in. Romance was already there. That big fucker…” Baby trailed off for a minute. The sound of fabric shifting around filled the silence until Baby continued: “..it wanted our power. It did things to try to get it. It said we were special and it was really excited about it.”. He turned to look at Abby.

Abby walked over to Baby and put a hand on his shoulder. “It’s dead now.” Baby nodded and looked down. Abby lifted Baby’s chin up with a finger: “Are you alright now?” Baby gave a nod but Abby wasn’t convinced. “Are you sure?”

Baby sighed. “A minor demon could kill me right now. I don’t know what that thing did to me at the end.” . Abby and Baby stared at each other until Jinu came over. Baby looked at his thorn shirt and snapped his fingers again, causing a new shirt to drift down in front of Jinu.

Jinu grabbed it and began to change. “Thanks Baby.” . He playfully elbowed Abby. “This brute got too rough.”

Abby smirked at Jinu: “You haven’t seen rough yet, Jinu.” . He gazed back the way they came and when Jinu was done dressing up he gestured ahead of him. “Let’s go.”

When they got back to the cavern, Mystery was crouched, inspecting something on the floor in the middle of the room and Romance was casually leaning against the wall, chewing on the claw on his thumb, watching Mystery with hooded eyes.

Abby glanced at Romance: “Everything alright?”

Romance sighed: “He’s so cute.”

Abby rolled his eyes and walked over to see what Mystery was doing. Jinu joined him and Baby went to Romance.

Mystery looked up when they approached. “This is not good.”

Abby crouched next to him and Mystery gestured at a barely visible symbol etched in the stone floor. “What is it?”

Mystery: “A binding sigil. Neuro was bound to this place.”

Jinu joined the huddle on Mystery’s other side. “Why would he be bound here?”

Mystery: “He was sent here for a purpose. He didn’t choose to come here.”. Abby and Jinu exchanged glances. Mystery continued: “He had a master.”

Abby stood up and looked around the room. “Gwi-ma couldn’t exert his power here. There must be something warding it.”

Mystery stood up as well and pointed towards another symbol etched on the wall. Then at another on the opposite side. “I can break them.”

Jinu: “Wait. Not yet,” . He looked at Abby. “If we break them, Gwi-ma will summon us. What happens to Mystery then?”

Both Abby and Jinu looked at him. Abby spoke first: “He comes with us.” . He narrowed his eyes at Mystery. “I agreed to take you with us. You’ll have to do as I say. Is that agreeable?”

Mystery tilted his head and studied Abby for a moment, then nodded.

Abby: “Then it’s settled. Break the ward.”. Mystery broke the runes and Abby held out his hand to him. “Take my hand, you have permission to touch me, be quick.” . Mystery placed his hand in Abby’s just as Gwi-ma’s summon came.

Abby, Jinu, Baby and Romance landed hard on the stone throne. Abby got up first and was surprised to see Mystery standing. The others got to their feet and bowed. Abby had to glare at Mystery for a second before Mystery bowed as well.

Gwi-ma: “You return victorious Abby. You learn well.”

Abby bowed deeper in acknowledgement.

Gwi-ma addressed Mystery: “You dare to return?”

Mystery just nodded.

Gwi-ma’s flame grew and burned bright. “Fool!”

Abby stepped next to Mystery and grabbed the back of his coat then pushed him down. Mystery didn’t resist, sinking to his knees under Abby’s guidance.

Gwi-ma’s flame returned to normal and when he spoke he sounded puzzled. “He bows to you?”

Abby: “Yes.” . The word echoed in the silence that followed.

Eventually, Gwi-ma spoke: “You did well Abby. Now leave.” . In a flash of purple light, Gwi-ma dismissed them.

Abby, Jinu and Romance found themselves in front of the worn down fence of their house. Mystery and Baby were nowhere to be seen. Abby looked around, confused: “Where are those two?”

Romance shrugged and walked towards the house. “I’m sure Baby knows the way home.” . Jinu and Abby followed.

Baby looked around confused. He expected Gwi-ma to send them back to their lair, instead he was in front of what was once a house and was now just a piece of wall and piles or rubble. Mystery walked next to him and faced the same way Baby was.

Baby: “This is not where we were supposed to be.”

Mystery nodded.

Baby turned to look at him. “Did you do this?”

Another nod from Mystery.

Baby: “Why?”

Mystery shrugged and reached a hand towards Baby, stopping merely an inch from his chest. “May I touch you?” . His cheeks blushed as he waited for the answer.

Baby remembered something about asking permission from what happened in the cavern, but he wasn’t sure what it meant. “Why?”

Mystery blushed even more and shook his head ruefully. “I like you.”

Baby smiled wide: “I see. Come here then, you can touch me.”

Mystery ran his hand over Baby’s chest, then took his hand and guided him to a half buried trap door. He gestured with his free hand and the door sprung open, revealing a set of stairs descending into the darkness.

Baby: “Is this your place?”

Mystery nodded, then shook his head and eventually just shrugged and began descending, taking Baby along. A small room waited at the bottom of the stairs, a bed, a table and a chair the only things in it.

Baby: “Looks like home.”

Mystery stopped and turned to face Baby. He reached for Baby’s hat and took it off, then took his own hat off. He walked to the table and placed both hats on it, then did the same with his coat. Baby followed, taking off his own coat, then his shirt. When he went to unbuckle and remove his pants, Mystery caught his hands and stopped him with a shake of his head.

Baby: “You don’t want me to take them off?”

Mystery shook his head no again and when Baby raised a questioning eyebrow at him he slowly traced Baby’s waistband with a claw: “I like it.”

Baby smiled and reached for Mystery’s shirt. “Alright, what about you?” . Mystery shrugged and helped Baby remove his shirt, then tried to bend over to unlace his boots. Baby stopped him. “Let me.” . He kneeled in front of Mystery and took his boots off, but instead of standing back up, he rubbed his cheek against Mystery’s bulge. Mystery tensed and Baby chuckled: “Why are you so tense? Let me suck you off a little.” . When Mystery didn’t move or answer, Baby looked up at him. Mystery’s cheeks burned bright red and his eyes were wide with excitement but also fear.

Baby stood up and gestured for Mystery to follow. He walked to the bed and performed his practice flop on his back in the middle of the bed. He held out a hand to Mystery and Mystery got on the bed next to him. Baby straddled Mystery. “You're a shy one aren't you.”. He unbuckled Mystery's pants and freed his cock. 

Mystery: “I’ve never…” he gasped and didn’t finish his sentence as Baby wrapped a hand around his cock.

Baby: “Never what? Had your dick sucked?”

Mystery nodded.

Baby chuckled: “You’re in for a treat then.” . He moved down Mystery’s legs and placed a soft kiss on the tip of Mystery’s cock. Mystery moaned, then gasped when Baby slowly ran his tongue over his slit, then swirled it around the head. His hand stroked along the shaft as his lips closed around the tip. His head bobbed up and down, each time taking more of Mystery’s cock into his mouth.

Mystery’s hands gripped Baby’s hair as Baby took him all the way to the back of his throat, relaxing his throat muscles, allowing Mystery’s cock to slide in. Baby stood still as Mystery gasped and bucked his hips. His grip on Baby’s hair was painful, but Baby ignored it. He swallowed against Mystery’s cock and felt him tense up. He tried to pull back but Mystery’s grip was like iron.

When his cock hit the back of Baby’s throat, Mystery felt disoriented as his mind and body were overwhelmed with sensation. A surge or unknown power ran through him and when Baby tried to pull away he couldn’t allow it. He held Baby by the hair and began to thrust his hips up. When Baby swallowed and gagged against his cock, Mystery began to fuck his throat in earnest. 

Baby used a hand to cup Mystery’s balls and rolled them gently. Mystery moaned loudly and with a final deep thrust filled Baby’s throat with his release. Baby swallowed every drop and tried to pull back again. Mystery allowed it and Baby pulled back slowly, his lips still wrapped around Mystery’s cock. He looked up at Mystery with a satisfied smirk on his face and watched as Mystery’s body shuddered.

Mystery’s cock slid out of Baby’s mouth with a pop. Strands of saliva stretched between Baby’s lips and Mystery’s cock. Mystery reached out a shaky hand and ran a finger across the strands, picking some up, then sucked on it. Baby growled and climbed on top of Mystery again, pressing his lips to Mystery’s and kissing him hard, Mystery’s finger stuck between their tongues.

Mystery tasted himself on Baby’s lips and removed his finger, deepening the kiss. He ran his claws down Baby’s back and over his ass, then back up, over and over as the kiss went on. Baby felt Mystery’s cock twitch under him and smiled. He broke away from the kiss despite Mystery’s attempt to pull him back in. He caught his breath then asked: “Do you want to fuck me?”

Mystery tensed, but didn't answer. Baby grinned wider as he rolled off him and stripped off his own pants. Climbing back on top, he began to grind his hips against Mystery's cock. Mystery let out a moan and his hands reached for Baby's waist. Baby smiled and pressed two fingers to Mystery's lips. "Suck on them. Wet them for me." .

Mystery obeyed, coating Baby’s fingers with his saliva. Baby rubbed them over his entrance then wrapped his hand around Mystery’s cock. “Ready?” he asked, positioning Mystery’s cock to enter him. Mystery nodded, and Baby lowered himself slowly. Mystery’s claws dug into Baby’s hips as Baby took him fully inside.

Baby let his head fall back: “Fuuuck, you feel so good.” . Mystery’s breath hitched and his cheeks flushed deep red again. His hands shook slightly as they rested on Baby’s hips. Baby smiled and rocked his hips gently. “Don’t be shy, show me how you like it.” . Mystery responded with a soft moan but tightened his grip on Baby’s hips and hesitantly guided him.

Baby leaned back with his hands on Mystery’s chest, feeling his fast heartbeat and breathing. “Tell me what you like, I want to hear you say it.” .

Mystery barely whispered: “I like this. I like you.”

Baby grinned: “Hold on, I’m going to make you feel even better.” . He increased his pace, his body moving with practiced ease. Mystery could barely catch his breath as his cock slid in and out of Baby. Baby urged him: “Faster, I want to feel you deeper.”

Mystery complied and lifted his hips to meet Baby’s movements, their bodies moving in rhythm. Baby gripped his cock and began stroking it in time with Mystery’s thrusts. Mystery’s breath came in ragged gasps and his claws dug painfully into Baby.

Baby: “I’m so close, make me cum Mystery.”

Mystery’s response was a long moan as he began to tremble beneath Baby. With a final desperate thrust, Mystery’s body shuddered and tensed as his cock spilled its load inside Baby. Baby cried out as his own cock shot ribbons of cum over Mystery’s chest.

The frantic movements stopped and they both took deep breaths. Mystery lifted himself on his elbows and looked down at his chest. He reached a shaky finger and picked up some of Baby’s cum and licked it clean.

Baby groaned at the thought of all the possibilities and pounced on Mystery, claiming his mouth in a hard kiss. “You and I…” he panted “...we are going to have soooo much fun.”.

Chapter 15

The chase

(Abby/Baby/Jinu/Romance and Abby/Mystery)

When Baby and Mystery walked inside the house, Jinu was leaning against the table and Romance was cuddled up next to Abby on the bed. No one spoke as Baby surveyed the scene, noticing the broken chair. He snapped his fingers and the chair became whole again, then gestured for Mystery to take a seat. Mystery sat down with his hands in his lap, his claws tapping nervously against his thighs.

Baby leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. “So, now what?”

Abby looked at Mystery: “Thank you for your help Mystery.”

Romance echoed Abby: “Thank you Mystery.”

Abby: “I brought you back to the underworld as agreed. What are your wishes now?”

Mystery: “May I stay?”

Abby raised an eyebrow. “You want to stay here?”

Mystery nodded: “With you. All of you.”

Abby elbowed Romance hard to stop him from grinning like an idiot then asked: “Why?”

Mystery: “We can not speak of it now. Not yet.”

Abby: “Can you live with us? How will your gift affect us?”

Mystery stopped his nervous finger tapping and turned his hands palm up. He stared at them as he spoke: “I asked for power, I was ready to do anything to no longer be powerless. Gwi-ma offered me the promise of power. I would have to take it myself, but I would gain it. Back then I was young and desperate. I did not understand Gwi-ma’s words as he meant them. He granted me the gift of draining power with a simple touch. The more powerful the person or creature was, the more devastating the results. Now I am older, I have more control, more knowledge, more understanding of how things really work. You will not die if you brush against me by accident, but if I use any of my power on any of you, by accident or with intent, without permission, I will drain you and there will be nothing left of you.” .
