EPILOGUE
DOM
We hadn’t hosted a graveyard party in several weeks.
The winter had finally given way to spring.
Although it was far from warm, and we still had the occasional snowfall, the deep winter chill that settled in one’s bones had dispersed.
Warmer days were ahead. It wouldn’t be long before the grass turned green and plant life bloomed once again.
Spring break was generally regarded as a time to party. To welcome in the warmer nights while kissing winter goodbye. Tonight’s party would make Damon and Noah an official part of the Kings. Everyone would know. Everything would now change for the better.
I doubted it would be much of a surprise to those who knew us. Noah and I had made no attempt to hide our relationship. We were crazy in love and didn’t care who knew. People on campus had seen us together. We were rarely apart these days.
We spent so much time together that Noah had broached the subject of moving in together. Since he didn’t want to abandon Damon on short notice, and I didn’t want to rush anything, we were taking it slow. Making our plans to be together without forcing anything to happen too quickly.
More than anything I wanted to be with him every day and night. However, I also wanted to do this properly. One day at a time. We already spent every night together, either at his house or mine. I had started browsing rental listings though, trying to find the perfect place for us.
“Fucking sucks that we lost the church.” Auryn stared at the place where the small building used to be.
Not even rubble remained. The city had the mess cleaned up. The graveyard was still ours. That wouldn’t change.
“Is it really the church you miss? Or the space heater?” I nudged him with an elbow and grinned.
He lifted a plastic cup of Jack and Coke to his lips. His dark gaze flitted around the graveyard, checking out the ladies. “Hey, I’m not the only one who benefitted from that space heater. Don’t pretend you didn’t love it.”
“I’ll definitely miss the church,” Noah joined in. He stood next to me with a drink in one hand, a joint in the other. “Dom and I made some good memories there.”
Auryn’s mouth dropped open as he gaped at Noah. “You violated the sanctity of my church? How dare you?”
Noah’s devious chuckle went straight to my cock. Another drink or two and I would be ready to bend him over one of these headstones. I didn’t care who saw.
“Don’t pretend you’re so pure. I know you fucked in that church more than I have.” I gave Auryn a playful shove.
Stray jumped in to have my back. “Damn right. I lost count of how many times I walked in there to find Auryn fucking one of the cheerleaders.”
“There was also that time I caught him with two girls on the back pew,” Rebel added.
Each of our friends recounted a similar story. Soon Auryn was protesting with both hands raised. “All right all right, you’ve made your point. I’m a shameless slut. Now speaking of which, I am off to find someone to put my dick in tonight.”
As he spoke, his gaze wandered across the graveyard to where the girls were gathered in a group. Rebel’s wife along with Codie and Casper’s girlfriend Luna. Two more of their friends that I didn’t know all that well. Ripley and Athena. He seemed to be fixated on the blonde. Ripley.
That was confirmed when Stray smacked him in the arm, pointing a finger in his face. “Don’t you dare. Stay away from Ripley. If you use one of Codie’s friends for a one night stand, I’ll hold you down and let them castrate you.”
Auryn rolled his eyes. “God you’ve changed. You used to be my wingman. What a fucking shame.”
He broke away from the group, going in search of a woman willing to be his conquest for the night. It wasn’t all that long ago that I’d done the same. Seeking out a partner for the occasional quick thrill. Although I hadn’t done it nearly as frequently as Auryn. I didn’t miss it.
The rest of the group gradually scattered. Rebel, Casper, and Stray made their way over to their other halves. Damon took his leave as well, letting one of the university’s hockey players draw him into a drinking game with several others.
That left Noah and me. He watched two guys going at it in the fight zone. Turning to me with a brow raised, he asked, “What do you say, prince? For old time’s sake?”
Nothing like a little violence to get the blood pumping. “Fuck yeah. Let’s do it.”
We ditched our drinks on a headstone as we passed on our way to the fight area. Rebel saw us waiting our turn. He beelined over, looking confused.
“You guys aren’t going to fight, are you? I thought you were past that shit. Should I be concerned?” He glanced between Noah and me.
“We stopped trying to kill each other,” I said with a shrug. “Doesn’t mean we can’t shove each other around a little. Maybe throw a punch or two.”
“Draw some blood,” Noah added. “Nothing like a little blood to make things sexy.”
Rebel chuckled. With a shake of his head, he said, “I get it. This is foreplay for you guys. I’ll leave you to it then.”
He walked away, muttering something about how fucking crazy we were. He was one to talk. Rebel was far from sane.
When it was our turn to fight, there was a murmur from onlookers confused to see us take a stance across from one another. My blood was already pumping. Excited for what I knew would come after. Hopefully nobody noticed how hard I already was.
Noah didn’t hesitate to make the first move. He came at me with a shove that sent me stumbling back into a headstone. I steadied myself with a hand against the crumbling stone before rushing him.
Because I couldn’t quite bring myself to nail him in the face like I once had, I clipped his chin with my fist. Merely grazing him. He retaliated with a shot that met my nose. Hard enough to hurt, yet I knew he held back too.
We continued to take playful shots at one another. Enough to cause some pain without the brutality we’d once possessed for one another. When he succeeded in making my lip bleed, I tackled him to the ground. His hard on was thick and straining through his pants.
“You drew first blood,” I murmured softly for his ears only. “I guess that means you win.”
Not caring who saw, Noah raised up enough to lick the blood from my lip. “I guess that means you’ll be taking my cock tonight.”
Even though I tended to top most times we were together, I didn’t mind occasionally changing it up. Especially when I saw in his eyes how bad he wanted it.
Someone shouted at us to get a room. Holding up a middle finger in the direction the shout had come from, I got to my feet, pulling Noah up with me. Then I caught him by the throat, holding tight as I walked him backwards toward the trees.
We may not have had the church to sneak into but there were plenty of places to have a little fun. We disappeared into the forest surrounding the graveyard. Leaving the party behind.
We were immediately wrapped in one another. Locked in a steamy embrace. Desperate desire taking over as we devoured one another.
Noah slammed me against a tree. Pinning me in place. He bit at my bleeding lip before sucking it into his mouth.
Gripping my cock through my pants, he spoke in a low husky tone that made me come apart. “Fuck I love you so much, Dom.”
I held his jaw tight in one hand, kissing him deep. “I love you too, baby. Now get on your knees.”
