Chapter 5 #4

He went over to the chair and raised an eyebrow at Price. “How do you want me, soldier boy?”

“Wait.” Aled grabbed two pillows from Kai’s bed and placed them on the seat of the chair. “Now sit down.”

Kai obliged and settled against the back of the chair as if he was quite willing to humor Aled. His cock was already jutting out and ready to fuck. The Tribute program had given them both the ability to get hard and stay hard for hours.

Aled took the cords out of the box and considered how best to restrain his trainer. It would be much easier to make him face the back of the chair so that Aled could get at his ass, but he wanted to see Kai’s face.

He knelt down and wrapped the first cord around Kai’s ankle, securing it to the chair leg, and then did the second. As he stood up again, he licked Kai’s cock from root to tip, making the other man shiver. He tasted so much better than the Ungrich.

“Did they talk to you?”

“Who?” Kai asked.

“The Ungrich .”

“The second time I went in, yeah, I got the sense that they could read my thoughts and that sometimes they replied to me.”

Aled took Kai’s right hand and crossed it over his left before wrapping a lighter-weight cord around both wrists and tying them to the highest rung of the ladder-back chair. He stood back to survey the curve of Kai’s chest and the way his abs bunched beneath his skin.

“They talked to me.”

“About what?” Kai sounded hoarse.

“Male and female, human and Mitan.” He pinched Kai’s nipples hard between his finger and thumb. “I don’t think they understood that we need a male and a female pairing to procreate. They thought it was a primitive notion.”

“Oh, fuck.” Kai briefly closed his eyes. “I wonder why they’re interested in that? For the past few years they’ve been milking us for sperm and . . . greez , what did they do to Anna Lee?”

“Who is Anna Lee?”

“She’s an Ungrich survivor like you.” Kai frowned. “I need to talk to Rehz.” He pulled at his bonds. “Let me out.”

“No.”

“Price . . .”

“If you cooperate with me, this won’t take long.” He knelt between Kai’s spread thighs and gently licked at his cock until Kai’s breathing shortened and his hips tried to shove forward.

“Do it harder, Price.”

“No.”

“Fuck me hard and get this over with. I have to talk to Rehz.”

“You can’t order me around anymore.” He looked up into Kai’s furious green gaze.

“That’s not how this is going to go down, Kai Mexr.

” He resumed his gentle sucking, sliding his hands up from Kai’s hips to his chest in languid caresses that made Kai shiver and curse.

Wetness dripped into Aled’s mouth from the slit of Kai’s cock, making it easier for him to bathe Kai’s shaft in long, lascivious strokes.

He drew the moisture lower, spreading it over Kai’s balls and the smoothness of his taint.

Kai groaned as Aled slid his hands under Kai’s ass, bringing the tight bud of his hole to the attention of Aled’s questing tongue.

Pre-come streamed down Kai’s shaft now, making Aled’s penetration easier with every thrust of his tongue.

He established a rhythm, pressing his tongue deep, and added his thumbs as Kai struggled to breathe.

“Don’t be soft on me.” Kai sounded as if he was speaking through his teeth.

Aled paused to look up at him. “Why not?”

“I prefer to be fucked hard.”

“But this isn’t about what you want, is it? It’s about what I am prepared to give you.” He pushed his thumbs in, widening the gap for his tongue to probe. When Kai started moving with his fingers, he thrust four of them in and used his other hand to wrap around Kai’s cock.

“I won’t come for you like this,” Kai muttered.

“I don’t think you’ll have a choice. You’re tied up, aren’t you?”

“But this won’t get me off. It’s too . . .” He groaned as Aled let go of him entirely and went over to the box on the bed.

After sorting through Kai’s collection of sex toys and discarding almost all of them, Aled washed and returned to his captive partner, who was almost snarling with frustration, his big body straining against the ties.

“You know you can’t get free, so why are you fighting? What’s so bad about me being nice to you?”

Kai simply glared at him.

Aled hid a smile as he crouched between Kai’s thighs again.

He coated the thick dildo with lube and slowly eased it up tight and high inside Kai’s ass before settling him back down on the pillows.

Then he simply bent his head and licked and played endless long circles around Kai’s cock and balls until the other man was writhing in his seat and clenching the muscles of his ass against the opposing forces of Aled’s mouth and the dildo.

Aled kissed his way up Kai’s abs to his chest, where he paused to suck on Kai’s nipples.

“Finish this. Give me what I need,” Kai snapped.

“And what would that be?” Aled kissed the corner of Kai’s mouth and then nibbled gently at his lower lip.

“Hurt me.”

He drew back to stare into Kai’s narrowed eyes. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Why not? I fucking hurt you for weeks. I forced you to take my cock.”

“And I realized that I liked it.”

Kai shook his head. “No, you didn’t. You’re just reacting against your time with the Ungrich . It’s okay. I get that, now—”

Aled very gently put his hand over Kai’s mouth. “That’s not it. In your own weird, perverse way, you trained me to survive. You can’t deny that.”

“And turned a patriot into a sex addict.”

“I’m not a sex addict. I just want sex with you—without you dominating me all the time.” Aled hesitated. “I want to see what it’s like when it’s just us.”

“Don’t be a fucking idiot. There is no ‘us.’ As soon as you’re cleared by the military, you’ll be gone. You should be gone.”

“Back to what?” Aled swallowed hard. “To a life where no one will understand what I’ve been through? Where I can’t even talk about it? Where’s the future in that?”

Kai briefly closed his eyes. “It’s not that bad . . .”

“Fuck that. Why didn’t you go home? Why do you hang around with Rehz Akran? Because he gets it, because—”

“He fucks me the way I need to be fucked. Hard.” Kai met Aled’s gaze. “I’ve had plenty of trainees and I’ve been here before. Don’t cling to me. You’re not what I want.”

Aled leaned in as pain crowded his throat. “You just want to be hurt.”

“Yes.” Kai hesitated. “I need to be hurt to get off.”

“Because you think you deserve to be punished for what you have to do?” Aled shook his head. “That’s it, isn’t it? You hate what you have to do because inside you—inside you is the man you were before you had to face the Ungrich .”

“You’re a shrink now, Price?”

“I’m goddamn right.”

Kai glared at him. “You are out of your fucking mind. I am what I am. I like what I am. You just can’t get it through your stupid skull that I don’t want you or need anyone in my life.”

Aled’s heart stuttered and he struggled to breathe. Gods, that hurt . Silence fell, broken only by Kai’s harsh breathing.

“Then what would you like me to do to you, sir ?” Aled licked the seam between Kai’s hard lips and then kissed him.

With a groan, Kai fought him off. “Don’t fuck with me. Stop this right now. Don’t . . .”

That Aled could do for him. Without another word he untied Kai, turned on his heel, and walked away. This time he couldn’t stop the tears from falling. His bedroom door had a lock on it, and he intended to use it.

His cock was hard and he jerked himself off in the shower, wondering if Kai was doing the same and if he’d kept the dildo in while he did it.

An uneasy combination of misery and anger coiled in his gut.

Was Kai right? Was there nothing between them except this crazy fucked-up training experience?

Kai should know. Kai had been through this with more than one Ungrich survivor.

In a few weeks’ time, when he was cleared by the military and far away from Kai Mexr, maybe he’d look back at this moment and curl up in embarrassment at himself.

He dried off and left the bathroom. Maybe he would feel that way, but he didn’t think so.

Of course by the time he worked that out, he’d have no way of contacting Kai and telling him.

He crawled into bed naked and pictured the way Kai had looked tied up for him, how it had felt to kiss him and feel him respond.

Kai had responded before he’d laid on all that greez about Aled having an Ungrich -induced, unreciprocated crush on him.

The flash of surprise in Kai’s eyes when Aled had stepped back stayed with him.

Was it the first time anyone had allowed Kai to decide what he wanted rather than imposing it on him?

Just because Kai liked it hard didn’t mean he had to take it every time.

Did he not know that? Had he never been in an equal relationship?

As sleep overwhelmed him, Aled held on to that tantalizing thought.

Maybe, just maybe, things weren’t as cut-and-dried as Kai would like them to be.

If he had to give Kai some time alone to recognize his true feelings, then that’s what Aled would do—and maybe he’d come to understand his own a little better in the process.

This might be the end of everything, but at least thanks to Kai and the Ungrich , he knew how to survive the unendurable. If Kai didn’t want him? It would tear him apart, but he’d move on.
