Gilbert x Reader
Word Count: 2650
1095: the Holy Land
The first time you see him it is over a rising cloud of brown dust, stamped from the earth by a cacophony of hooves and sandaled feet charging at each other. Sunlight glints off curved steel and chain mail as blades from both sides bite into flesh, punctuating the haze with red droplets.
Through the blood and dust you see him, walking amid the chaos. He is, quite simply, the most beautiful being you have ever seen. Every movement exudes grace, from the bend of his torso to the tilt of his head. He is so arresting that you stop in your tracks, frozen under the burning sun, watching him across the din until he turns his head. Fatefully, his gaze finds yours. His eyes, the clearest, deepest red you have ever seen, pull you in, like a fishing line cast into the ocean. You find yourself moving towards him, the epicurean tide drawn to the beauty of the ethereal moon, breathless with something. Time stands still, all sound dwindling into nothingness. The screaming of men, the groaning of the dying, the frenzied cries of horses, it all fades when he smiles, your heart suddenly caught in the curve of his lips, the line of his jaw.
And then he sees you clearly, as the dust begins to clear, as the last man lays gasping, calling for his mother. He sees you and his beautiful face darkens with an emotion you are all too familiar with. The shadowed mask of fear.
You blink and he is gone.
1348: London, England
It is nearly a millennium before you see him again. You step outside of the small, dank house, the smell of sickness lingering in the air. It clings to you, the sheen of rot and ejecta, and you are grateful for a moment’s respite. It is then you see him, walking alongside the rickety wooden cart piled high with bodies, some still oozing sickness from their sores.
“Bring out your dead!”
The man pulling the cart and yelling is sweating, salty droplets of water leave tracks in the dirt caked on his sallow skin. His heartbeat is too fast, too erratic but he fights it, the fist squeezing his lungs, wanting to get just one more footstep further away from this thing they call the Black Death.
But then his voice is gone, his knees buckling as his heart finally gives up the fight. Gilbert, draped in robes the color of twilight, kneels in the dirt road beside him. You watch as his pale hand touches the man’s face and soothes back his matted hair. He speaks and whatever you expected his voice to sound like, it is not this. Not like the soft sound of the wind sweeping across rolling plains. Not like the velvet depth of night, when darkness blankets the mortal world.
“Hello Richard." He is gentle, so very gentle. "My name is Gilbert." He cups the man's face with a tender hand. "It’s ok, my friend. There is nothing to fear. It’s simply time to let go.”
Like a being transfixed, you watch as he guides the soul from its prison of flesh and bones, and with a wave of his hand, sends it on its way.
“You look so young.”
The words leave you before you can stop them. You know speaking to him is forbidden and yet, somehow, it feels as natural to you as sunlight.
He looks up at your words and again, the flicker of fear burns in the red brightness of his eyes. He rises slowly and you admire the way he conquers it so quickly.
“I’m older than you.”
He knows he should not answer you and yet he does, turning to face you fully now. You tilt your chin upwards, letting him look, letting him drink his fill of the sight of you.
“I’ve never seen you before.”
Something dances across his face, tears his gaze away from your form.
“My duties were elsewhere for a time.”
The story behind his words is in his eyes, straining to be freed. His lips burn with the need to tell you more.
And then the bell tolls and you both look in its direction.
Time is fleeting. You have work to do.
With great effort you turn away from him, walking toward the next sad building reeking of death. When you look over your shoulder, past the curve of your leathery wings, you find him watching you.
And you smile.
1839: Mazatlán, Mexico
The winds and water have washed away the small town on the coast. There is nothing left of it, aside from bits of broken buildings and bodies lying in watery graves.
An old woman with a broken back lays, panting heavily as the light slowly fades from her dark eyes. You approach her, your heavy robes trailing in the dirty water and mud. When she sees you, her breathing quickens, her eyes widen and her fingers, old and gnarled and broken, scramble to touch the worn silver cross that has hung around her neck for the last sixty-eight years. Little does she know it too has been lost in the storm. You kneel beside her and she whimpers, her whole body trembling as you reach down, laying your hand on her forehead.
“Por favor,” her voice creaks, “por favor.”
“Begging won’t save you now. You know the life you led. The women you sold. The children.” It doesn’t matter what you say. They can always understand you.
Her body spasms as you reach for her, the real her, the essence inside. Her last words die unspoken on her lips as you send her soul to its journey's end..
Rising, you scan the debris, feel the call of so many souls and you are weary. You make your way towards the beach, stepping over the rubble until you have reached the soft, white sand and smooth gray boulders. You slump down against one of them, tired. The sand is soft, the boulders warm with collected sunlight. You have learned to appreciate the simple things of this plane of existence. The sound of the ocean. The smell of the salty air.
“So even your kind needs a break.”
That voice.
He is standing above you, backlit by the sun, and you wholly believe he is worthy of the countless prayers shot to the heavens by pleading lips.
You can’t help but smile. “Come sit with me. Take a break yourself.”
He smiles back and your heart cracks open, bursting with something newborn and unexpected. Something you can’t give a name to, yet.
“Isn’t there a story about a garden and a serpent that starts this way?” But he lowers himself until he is next to you. His arm brushes yours and it feels like holy fire.
“I shouldn’t be here.” Your voice is softer than usual as you watch the roll of the waves along the beach. A single shoe made for a tiny foot bobs alone in the water. Its former owner is his responsibility. Babies always are.
“You’re doing your job.”
“No, I mean here. With you.”
The words sound as loud to your ears as the waves crashing into the rocks scattered about the shallows. Embarrassed, you start to move away from him, from his warmth and his light and his heavenly smile.
And then you feel his hand wrap around yours, the dawn grasping the dusk, and he pulls you towards him.
Falling into his embrace is easy, so much easier than you ever would have believed, easier than you could have dreamed. Easier than all the rules that say it is forbidden would have you think it is. He is light and warmth to your shadow and shade. You drink him in, wrapping your arms around him, pulling him close against you. He gasps softly into your hungry mouth, stunned by the feel of you.
His kind have always been told a litany of warnings to stay away from you. That nothing good will ever come of associating with devils. That he would burn in the pit fires of hell if the rules were ever broken. And oh he is burning, just not the way they described.
As he pulls you against him, your softness yielding to the planes of his body, he does burn. He burns with a singular need to kiss you, to touch you, to claim you as his. He burns with a desire far more dangerous than hellfire. It sharpens him, hardens him, shifts his purpose with every movement of your lips against his. Your mouth is ambrosia. Nothing will ever taste as good ever again. He will forever be thirsty for it. The feel of your hands, pressed against his back, just under his wings, is branded into him, changing him, claiming him.
It is only the tolling of the celestial bell that falls like an ax through the haze of your lust. The call to work.
“I must go.” He looks over his shoulder, then back to you, his dark hair falling across his forehead in a way that makes your fingers ache to touch it. “We’ll meet again.”
He stands slowly, spreads his large, white feathery wings and in a rush of wind, a flash of light, he’s gone, leaving you alone on the beach with the mournful sobs of the dying, the monotonous lull of the ocean’s waves and his kiss burning on your lips.
October 1916: Somme River; Picardy, Northern France
It feels wrong, rushing to meet him with the thunderous sounds of war rocking the world, and the deadly fog of mustard gas rising like a cobra to sink its fangs into shaking men. Even you shudder as the shrill cry of artillery shells and the spitting rage of the machine guns echo hell on earth. Men are dying in record numbers but it is precisely for this reason that you can meet. The bloody ground with its endless sea of death and destruction masks your movements from anyone who may wonder where exactly you are. Too many souls departing too quickly. Everyone is busy, thanks to men and their thirst for war. Angels and devils alike roam the ravaged fields, answering the call of the doomed.
He waits for you behind a burned-out house amid charred, leafless trees. You gasp when you see him. One eye is covered by a swath of black silk.
“What happened?” Your hands are on his face, now familiar to your touch. You have loved him for almost a century, a drop in the ocean of time, and yet, short as it may be, it feels essential. Sacred.
“They know.”
Those two words sink into your heart like a stone, dragging you down into a trench of despair. He has lost an eye in punishment. There will be more coming. The sky above you explodes orange against gray.
There are so many words that they stifle your speech, stacking one behind the other in your throat. None of them will change anything. None of them will save you. He reaches out, pulling you into the shelter of his embrace, a tender kiss placed on the top of your head, between your short, black horns.
“It will be alright. I have a plan.”
You tilt your face up to look at him as the world rumbles, heavy tanks rolling like moving fortresses through the dead fields.
“I will come for you. Give me time.” He sounds so sure.
Dread crawls up your spine with tiny, grasping claws but you nod slowly. You trust him.
He leans down, pressing a light kiss to your lips, a small beacon of hope in the darkness that surrounds you, the darkness that fills you. Then he steps away, unfurls his pristine wings, and vanishes, leaving you alone amid the wreckage.
2023: St. Anne’s Nursing Center; Regina, Canada.
The old man sees you, although his eyes stopped working years ago. Ignoring the exhausted muttering of the overworked nurse, his drawn face, etched with lines and mottled with brown spots, turns towards the doorway where you stand.
You are never who they want to see. You with your black wings and horns, with your fiery eyes and ashen skin. You, devil. His heart, worn and faded, skips its final beat as you walk over, curling your cool fingers around his frail wrist.
He wants to scream but all that comes out is a wheeze of fetid breath. Holding his wrist in your hand you lean down, lips close to his ear.
“It’s time.”
Every last living cell in his body wants to fight and you sigh, tightening your hold on him. It’s not a pleasant end when they fight, especially once they realize where they are going. And this one has reason to fight. His soul is as tainted as can be, a history of violence and hate and a pile of bones that will eventually be unearthed in the far corner of his remote property. Too many for just one person.
He submits, his soul needing to be pried from its cage of weak bone and flaccid muscle before you are finally able to send it down, down, down where it belongs.
There are others here, dancing on the edge of this life and the beyond, but none require your attention. Not today. You leave the now still body, making your way down the generic beige hallway and across the dated, olive-green tile of the entrance until you are outside, breathing in the cold, clean winter air.
Above you, the sky is black, the moon only a sliver of silver amid the twinkling stars. You’re about to move on when you hear it. The unmistakable beat of wings.
You turn and you see him, dropping down to the ground in one elegant movement. What you see brings both hands to your mouth, snatches the breath from your lungs.
Gone are the soft white feathers of his wings. They have been plucked out, burned away. The bloody leftovers re-formed into the stretched black leather of bat wings, darker than yours and wider. His robes are darkest obsidian, his hair midnight kissed by stars. And sprouting from it, the surest sign of what he has done: long, black horns, curled like a ram’s and deadly sharp.
“No…..no……” You know what this means and it brings you to your knees, right there on the icy pavement. His red eye is aflame with determination as he walks over to you, leaning down to take a strong hold of your arms and lift you again.
“It was the only way.” His voice is steady, gentle but sure.
You shake your head. “You are Fallen. You know what He will do. What you will have to do to prove yourself.” The Morningstar is cruelest to those just like Him.
Gilbert brushes your soft hair back, his skin pale as bone, now cold as ice.
“I will not only endure it, but I will conquer it and prove that I have earned a place among His agents. Perhaps….even….conquer Him.” His expression softens as he cups your face, his thumb stroking the line of your cheekbone. “I can master anything. You are by my side. You,” he pauses, his voice a whisper that roars louder than thunder, “are the reason for it all.”
And then his mouth is on yours and you melt against him, love for him clouding the danger of his words, the fear of what is to come. You wrap your arms around him and you return his kiss hungrily, greedily, covetous. His teeth sink into your lower lip, his wings extending to black out the sky before wrapping themselves around you, his hands grasping at your robes, yanking handfuls of it away from your skin until he can take hold of the soft underside of your thighs. With a deep growl he lifts you, pulling you against him, his unbound lust finally free.
After all…..he too is now a devil.

Author’s Note: Please enjoy a one-time Halloween and Kinktober special! I’ve gotten numerous requests for threesome content over the months and have declined them. I usually am not into threesome action because I HC my guys as being far too possessive to be game for that. Unless they have no choice… Happy Halloween 😈
Bobbing headlights illuminated a winding two-lane road, lined by aspen and pine trees. The light from an unusually red waxing full moon sitting high in the night sky glinted off the windshield. Flip hazarded a glance upward out of the window of his truck as he sped too fast around the curves of the mountain road. He had never seen a moon so luminous or so red. A ‘blood moon,’ as the hippies were calling it.
Not having time to ponder it for longer than the span of his fleeting glance, Flip returned his eyes to the road ahead of him. He was running late. He hated to run fucking late and on the rare occasion he did, it was almost exclusively your fault. He was only appeased by the lingering taste of you on his lips, rolling on his tongue as he chewed on his cigarette.
Even so, he shouldn’t have let you lure him into running late today. Today was a big day.
Flip had been after these people for months. This cult. Or what the fuck ever they called themselves. He had arrested a few here and there, just the followers he was able to catch committing petty crimes like vandalism. He hadn’t been able to catch anyone in the act of any of the things he wanted to charge them with. The brainwashing. The kidnapping. The murders. So far, he had only found the remnants of their rituals throughout his usually quiet town. Every crime scene was filled with artifacts and symbols the likes of which Flip hadn’t even been able to identify yet, but never any physical evidence apart from the victims themselves.
Flip didn’t just want to catch the acolytes. He wanted the leader, the man behind the curtain. He had enough experience to know that there was one man behind it all, even though he had no evidence of it. He felt like he was chasing a shadow. He also felt like the spectral bastard was laughing at him from the penumbra, just beyond his grasp.
Flip was going to end that today.
After months of work, Flip had finally gotten the jump on them. He had figured out where they were going to be and when, and he had managed to get a warrant. A warrant which was to be served at midnight, not unusual police procedure for a no-knock warrant.
Finally pulling into the driveway of a secluded sprawling mansion, Flip turned his headlights off. Using the light of the obliging blood moon to drive closer to the residence, Flip was met with a large contingent of officers in squad cars and the SWAT van. All of whom were waiting on Flip to lead the charge.
Ron greeted Flip as soon as Flip quietly closed the door to his truck after stepping out. Ron held out a bulletproof vest for Flip to turn and slide his large arms through.
“Most men tell their wives that they’ll take care of their honey-do list when they’re not running late for work,” Ron teased, helping Flip shrug on the vest that was too tight for his huge frame.
“Most men don’t have a list like I have from a wife like I have,” Flip replied with a smirk.
“Did she already have your tongue right where she wanted it tonight, so you couldn’t say no?” Ron continued as Flip secured the vest in place.
“Somethin’ like that.” Flip agreed, winking at his friend before drawing his handgun to perform a final check.
Gun drawn, Flip patted Ron on the shoulder and gestured for the other officers to prepare to enter the house.
On the occasion that you watched a cop movie with Flip late at night while lying in bed nestling your head on his chest, it was always at this point that he couldn’t help but protest when the star detective led the men dramatically through the front door.
No detective with a brain does that. You let the guys who want to be Rambo go in first. Let ‘em bust in that door and exchange gunfire and risk a bullet to the head. Flip would complain to you. Stupid. It just makes the detective look stupid.
Absolutely stupid, you would always agree, secretly ambivalent because it made the lead character look all the more manly.
Tonight, however, Flip decided that he would in fact lead the charge. Something about this case felt personal to him in a way he couldn’t consciously articulate. Like a wolf with the scent of blood in his nose, Flip wanted to have the first taste of his prey this time, even if it meant being more reckless than usual.
Leading the team of officers and SWAT, Flip moved silently up the steps to the front door. A no-knock warrant meant exactly that, that the officers didn’t need to announce their presence before entering.
Beside Flip, one of the SWAT team stepped forward holding a ram, wasting no time in slamming it into the door and splintering it open. Flip and another officer covered the interior of the mansion, guns aimed at the ready, barrels following their line of sight as they canvassed a large foyer.
The interior of the house was vacant and dark. At least, what Flip could see immediately. He had reviewed intel of the mansion before tonight and had the floor plan memorized. At the mansion’s center was a cavernous dining room, large enough to serve as a small ballroom. Large enough to conduct the strange occult rituals.
Ron found his way to Flip’s side as Flip began to advance down a darkened marble hallway, a contingent of SWAT behind him. Another team of officers spread out in the opposite direction.
On Flip’s right, a door burst open. Instantly, Flip’s gun tracked on the source, as a man and woman rushed through, laughing. The man’s face almost collided with the barrel of Flip’s gun, making him stumble backwards off balance in shock and fear. Arms flailing, he fell back against the woman, both stunned at the numerous guns trained on them.
“Whoa man, we don’t want any trouble,” the man stuttered, raising his hands. The woman followed suit. They were both dressed in nothing but plain black robes with matching silver pentagram necklaces.
“Where’s the real party happenin’ tonight?” Flip asked, his voice low.
“In the dining room. The ritual’s in the dining room. We weren’t doin’ anything, man. Just a little pregame fun.” The man looked back at the frightened woman behind him.
“Get them the fuck outta here,” Flip commanded a rookie officer, who was only too eager to leave the mansion along with the young couple.
Taking a deep breath, Flip led his team ahead. The rooms and hallways were completely silent, save for the occasional scuff of a boot or jingle of metal from Flip’s own men.
As he slowly penetrated deeper into the mansion, toward the area he knew contained the large dining room, he began to hear a low hypnotic chant echoing faintly toward him. His nose was also met with the spicy scent of incense. Both sound and scent grew stronger with each passing step.
The hallway ended at a large pair of paneled double doors. They were slightly ajar, cracked open just enough for flickering light to peek through the crack.
Holding up his left fist, Flip signaled his team to stop while he and Ron silently approached the door to peer through the crack into the dining room.
Flip didn’t know what the hell he was expecting to see, but it damn sure wasn’t the sight that greeted him.
The room was dimly lit by hundreds of candles, their flickering light casting an eerie glow over the occult proceeding as smoky incense wafted heavily in the air. Twenty-five or so figures in hooded black robes knelt in a circle, chanting in a low rhythmic tone. In their center was a large, ancient looking stone alter, its sides and legs engraved with strange symbols. Sprawled eagle on the table, a stark-naked young woman writhed in pleasure, her whimpers and moans rising above the chanting. At the end of the table by the woman’s feet stood a huge, towering man. He leaned forward over the woman but not yet touching her, his hands planted on either side of her hips. He too wore a black robe of a finer quality than the others. His hood was thrown back, revealing a head of glossy shoulder-length black hair.
“Police! Hands behind your head,” Flip shouted in his most commanding tone, well-honed in the military, as he burst into the room.
The man at the table jerked his head toward Flip, still leaning over the woman like a lion over his kill. Flip knew a dangerous man when he saw one and even he had never before seen an expression so dangerous and feral. He swore he heard a low growl coming from the man as his eyes flashed with the same glow contained in the flames of the candles.
Flip trained his gun right between the man’s fiery eyes and the moment passed as quickly as it had arisen.
“Hands up,” Flip repeated menacingly, keeping his eyes on the man.
None of the kneeling cultists moved, even when Flip’s team entered the room behind him, issuing the same command. All the acolytes looked toward their leader, more concerned with him than the contingent of police.
Slowly, the man straightened to his full impressive height. His eyes locked on Flip’s, seeming wholly unconcerned about the gun aimed at his head.
“You heard Detective Zimmerman,” the man said in a resonant tone. With a curt gesture of his hand, his followers all stood in unison, raising their hands.
The woman on the table began crying almost hysterically. Crawling forward, she reached to grab at the leader’s robe. “Master, please-“
The woman’s voice cut off mid-sentence as if an invisible hand had been clapped over her mouth. The man spared her a contemptuous glance over his shoulder before returning his attention to Flip.
Raising his hands to shoulder height, the man took a few steps toward Flip, a smirk playing on his full lips.
“Against the wall. Hands behind your back,” Flip barked at the man as the other officers flooded the room, securing the suspects.
Flip grinned at Ron who appeared to be having a hell of a time wrestling the naked woman to the ground without hurting her or getting his own eyes clawed out in the process. Patrice is gonna love hearin’ about that.
The man walked slowly to the wall, leaning his chest against it and obediently crossing his wrists behind his back as Flip followed him.
“How do you know my name?” Flip asked.
“That is the foremost question on your mind is it, Detective?” The man mused smugly.
“Forget it,” Flip replied tersely. He wasn’t in the mood for more bullshit anyway. “What’s your name, slick?”
“I have many names,” the man spoke over his shoulder. “Which would you prefer?”
“Just give me the one that’s on your damn driver’s license,” Flip instructed gruffly, his annoyance rising at the man’s game.
“I’ve never had a use for a driver’s license,” the man said with a grin.
“Fine. Have it your way, Casanova,” Flip said, planting his left hand between the man’s shoulder blades, ensuring he was pinned against the wall. He wondered if the bastard was already planning some type of insanity defense.
The woman whom Ron had finally managed to wrap in a robe, still struggled in his grip, evading his attempts to handcuff her. Hearing the exchange between Flip and the mysterious man, she turned to yell at Flip.
“Have some respect when you’re in the presence of the Prince of Darkness, you fucking pig!” She spat at Flip as Ron dragged her toward the exit.
“Prince of Darkness? Is that the line that’s workin’ on the girls these days?” Flip asked the man, huffing a laugh. “Lucifer, huh? Is that Lucy for short?”
“You think you can arrest the Devil?” The man asked far too calmly and too amused.
“Well, the Devil’s a new one for me,” Flip paused, pretending to think as he retrieved his handcuffs from his belt. “But I’ve arrested Cupid and Santa before.”
Flip snapped the cuffs around one of the man’s thick wrists.
“I’ve even arrested several Jesuses. Everyone at the fuckin’ station loves givin’ me hell over those cases, with me bein’ Jewish and all,” he laughed again as he secured the second cuff.
Flip turned the man around to face him, patting down the breast and waist of his robe.
“I’ll give you credit though, none of them had your flair,” Flip teased as he finished his pat down.
“I shall give you the chance to walk away, Detective,” the man adopted a more solemn tone, looking Flip dead in the eye. “Walk away now. Leave this place and myself alone and no harm shall come to you.”
“Awfully considerate of you,” Flip laughed outright.
“Should you follow this course and persist in ruining my enjoyment, the consequences for those actions shall be on your shoulders,” the man warned.
Definitely goin’ for the insanity defense.
“C’mon, this can’t be the worst day you’ve ever had. At least you’re not losin’ your fiddle to a hillbilly in Georgia tonight,” Flip joked, surprised when the man flashed him a smile in response.
“As you wish, Detective,” the man said lightly but in such a way that the hairs on the back of Flip’s neck raised at his words.
Flip heard Ron cuss behind him. Turning away from his prisoner, he saw the woman had twisted out of Ron’s grasp after apparently landing a knee to his crotch. The woman rushed at Flip, her eyes crazed.
Taking two long strides toward her, Flip stopped the woman with a vice grip on her shoulders. He spun her effortlessly in his grip, turning her back to his chest and hugging around her arms and torso, subduing her easily.
“Get it together, rookie!” He boomed at Ron, impervious to the woman struggling violently in his hold, before continuing with a smirk. “I’m dealin’ with the Devil himself over here and you can’t keep this girl under control?”
“Yeah, yeah, Zimmerman,” Ron glared good-naturedly at Flip as he took custody of the woman back from Flip.
Flip’s laugh died on his lips when he turned back around. The man was gone. Completely fucking vanished.
He couldn’t have escaped. He damn sure couldn’t be hiding anywhere. But all that Flip could find where the man had stood were his handcuffs. What was left of them anyway. They were mostly melted away, the remnants of the cuffs and chain melded to the floor, steam rising from them as they cooled.
******************************************************************************
The entirety of the day was spent booking suspects and writing reports. Long into the evening, Flip found himself buried in a mountain of paperwork, trying his best to finish so he could get home to you. Only he and Landers remained at the station, Flip finishing his work and Landers having drawn the short straw of keeping an eye on the phones.
It was far too late for an ordinary legal visit.
Yet, when Flip heard a deep muffled voice speaking to Landers, Flip made his way to the front lobby to find Landers going over procedure for a legal visit with what appeared to be a defense attorney.
No, it wasn’t a fucking lawyer. It was the dark man from the occult bust. He had traded his black robe for an equally black suit. The man now looked impeccably refined. His sharply tailored suit accentuated his impressive physique in the way that only the finest bespoke fashion afforded. Even his shoes were oiled to meticulous perfection. The man’s eyes immediately focused on Flip, his lips twisting upward at the sight of him.
“Detective Zimmerman.” The man flashed a grin that held more malice than mirth.
Reaching into his inner breast pocket, he retrieved a business card that he handed to Flip. It was heavyweight parchment style card stock with simple crisp letters. Expensive. Flip read the single printed line.
Kylo Ren, Esq.
“A fuckin’ lawyer,” Flip huffed. “You’ve gotta be fuckin’ kiddin’ me.”
Kylo watched him, an amused gleam shining in his unnatural eyes.
“This smoke and mirrors bullshit isn’t gonna work with me, pal,” Flip told the other man, standing to his full height and squaring his shoulders. “I know you were there. I don’t know how you got away but I know it was you. I fuckin’ cuffed you myself.”
“Did you?” Kylo asked teasingly, as he raised his wrists to appraise the absence of handcuffs around them.
“That was a pretty slick trick you pulled back there, but I can assure you that you’re fuckin’ with the wrong guy,” Flip lowered his voice, feeling his temper seethe and boil.
“I assure you, Detective, I can fuck with whomever I wish,” Kylo told him with another sinister grin.
“Try it,” Flip challenged, his hands balling into fists, hoping the bastard would lose it and throw a swing his way. Give him a reason to unleash.
“Perhaps I shall,” Kylo mused calmly. “Until then, and until you have a warrant to detain me, I have other matters to attend.”
Finished with his discussion, Kylo walked ahead toward the holding cells, pushing his way bodily by Flip.
Flip turned with a growl, reaching out to grab the equally large man by the shoulder of his fancy ass suit.
Before Flip’s hand connected, Landers stepped quickly in front of him, between the two larger men.
“Take it down a notch, Zimmerman,” he said, voice dripping with smarm. “He’s right about legal visits. I’ll take the lawyer down to talk to his clients. No need to be an asshole about it.”
Snarling under his breath, Flip followed Landers and the dark lawyer down the halls to the holding cells. The blood had all but drained from his knuckles with the tightness of his clenched fists.
The final stretch of hallway leading to the holding cells was broken up into two segments for security. The first was a room that functioned as a limbo between the relatively unsecured body of the precinct and the cells themselves, a long room between two thick metal doors.
Anger wafted heavily in the air, thicker than the smoke rising from Flip’s cigarette and huffing from his nose, as he eyed the lawyer. Kylo stood calmly, waiting for Landers to unlock the second door.
Kylo turned to meet Flip’s piercing glare with his haughty unruffled stare, his lips curling into a smirk upon seeing Flip’s simmering temper.
Landers led Kylo into a hallway lined with several holding cells. The largest cell usually served as the drunk tank but had been repurposed tonight to accommodate the numerous occultists until they could each be processed individually. Flip followed, lingering a few yards behind and casually leaning against an empty cell on the opposite side of the hallway from the holding cell filled with occultists.
Near Flip, separated by only a few feet and a few bars, was a serial killer who had been apprehended only days before. The loathsome man took the opportunity to sneer remarks at Flip, whose attention was singularly focused on the lawyer as Landers opened the holding cell to admit him inside.
“Tell me who you want out first and I’ll take you to a private room,” Landers told him, closing the cell door behind Kylo.
A collective rush of elation resounded through the cell from the excited mouths of the occultists at the sight of Kylo, many of whom dropped to their knees amid whimpered apologies.
Flip heard several different voices echo the same sentiment, “I’m sorry we failed you, Master.” Weird fuckin’ people.
Also watching the display, Landers turned to look at Flip with a sneer, “What do you think is crazier? These nut bags worshipping the Devil? Or them hiring this tight ass as their lawyer?”
Ignoring Landers as he usually did, his eyes fixed on Kylo, Flip saw the lawyer suck his teeth at Landers’ remark.
The young woman who Flip had saved from the alter rushed Kylo, arms outstretched. She was halted instantly by Kylo’s huge firm hand shooting out to the center of her chest, fingers curling slightly around her throat as he held her away from him at arm’s length.
“You have failed,” Kylo said coolly. “You have all failed miserably. I am deeply disappointed.”
“Hands to yourselves,” Flip barked, louder than necessary. “I’m not hostin’ playtime here.”
At Flip’s command, Kylo turned his head slowly to look at Flip over his shoulder. When Kylo met Flip’s glare, the lawyer’s eyes were no longer hazel, they glinted ember orange, as if his irises were lit from within by an internal flame. Kylo’s grin dripped with malevolence when his lips curled to expose his teeth. Holding Flip’s gaze, Kylo’s hand snaked up the woman’s neck, tightening around her throat.
Flip lunged forward to stop the fearsome man. No, he tried to lunge forward. His brain issued the order but his limbs refused to respond. It was as though he was trapped in a nightmare wherein his body disobeyed his every command and his limbs were packed with unresponsive sand instead of rigid muscle.
Landers must have been similarly affected. He was rooted in place with one hand outstretched to reach toward the cell door. A strained scream forced its way out of Landers’ throat.
Flip watched, transfixed by horror, as Landers’ exposed skin began to sizzle and boil like bacon in a frying pan.
As Landers seemed to burn from the inside out, Kylo’s grip on the woman’s throat tightened until she was sputtering and gurgling, clawing and slapping desperately at his face and chest. Kylo, calm and even amused, still watched Flip, as he lifted the woman off the ground with the single hand around her neck.
Flip tried to yell, to move, to do anything, but he was frozen in place. A darkly humorous thought as the inside of the holding cell grew hotter by the second, fast becoming an oven.
Landers’ scream devolved into a wet gurgling sigh as his skin began to melt and peel away from his body, sloughing off in fatty rinds. In seconds, what remained of his body crumpled to the floor in a greasy bloody heap of mangled tissue.
Still struggling in Kylo’s grasp, the woman he held aloft began to smoke. Tendrils of black fumes rose from her body and steam sizzled from her eyes and open mouth. Her death was more merciful than Landers. In seconds, her body was turned completely to black ash. With a rough clench of Kylo’s fist, he crushed the ashen form, a cloud of black dust rising through the air as the ash fell to the floor.
Flip was so entranced by the macabre display, he didn’t notice the flames that had risen from the floor in the back of the cell until they started to climb the walls.
The occultists were now begging and crying amid their panicked screams, begging their ‘master’ to show them mercy.
Flames licked from the walls across the floor, pausing only to attach to a shrieking occultist, quickly encompassing the entirety of the cell. Including Kylo. People screamed and rolled on the floor, trying futilely to stop the burning of their flesh, as the flames consumed them further.
Standing tall and dark inside the fiery chamber was Kylo Ren. His hands were now clasped in front of him, his head cocking from side to side slowly as he watched the burning butchery surrounding him.
The fire quickly breached the confines of the cell, spreading down the hallway away from Flip and also snaking maliciously toward him. He could feel the heat stinging his face and his eyes begin to water, still unable to command his body into motion.
As the bodies finally stopped writhing, a grim silence fell over the room, broken only by the pops and crackles of the fire itself.
Kylo finally moved from his center most place in the flames, walking casually to the locked cell door. Reaching both his hands to grip the steel bars, he held them for only a moment before they melted away like butter under his touch. The bars melted down to the floor and up to the ceiling, dripping orange molten metal down from the roof.
The fire had overtaken the end of the holding cell hallway and was now feet away from Flip. Flames crawled toward him along the floor, walls, and ceiling, a tunnel of swirling flames. Worse than the heat of the flames was the choking burn of the smoke that penetrated his lungs, weakening his body from the inside and hazing his thoughts.
Stepping through the bars, Kylo paused to straighten his tie and dust some molten debris from his shoulder. His features and suit were still pristine in every way, not a single ebony hair out of place.
Smirk still on his lips, Kylo walked to Flip. Stopping only inches in front of the Detective, Kylo’s eyes scanned his body before returning to bore into Flip’s. Flames nipped at Kylo’s pants as he regarded Flip silently for several long seconds.
The only thing Flip could physically do was narrow his eyes and bare his teeth, but he hoped the bastard got the message. His last thoughts, however, were not of ripping Kylo’s heart out of his chest. He thought of your shining eyes and bright smile, the sound of your laugh and his name on your lips, the way you feel inside his arms and beneath his body.
“Interesting,” Kylo mused, looking into Flip’s eyes so intensely that he could have been looking into his very soul. “How very interesting.”
Kylo grabbed Flip’s shoulder, turning him roughly toward the exit before dropping his hand down between Flip’s shoulder blades to push him forcibly ahead.
At Kylo’s touch, the spell over Flip’s body was broken. Coughing harshly, he stumbled forward, off balance and dizzy from smoke, toward the exit with Kylo following closely.
As Kylo walked with a chilled laxity, the flames followed closely behind him, polite enough not to overtake their master.
Flip reached the door, fumbling with the lock and the heated metal that burned his fingers. While Flip struggled, Kylo paused at the cell of the serial killer, regarding him silently before placing his hand on the bars of his cell to melt them away.
“Love your work,” Kylo commented, as the killer staggered free.
Flip wrenched the door open just in time for Kylo to shove him through before the flames overtook the room. The serial killer had a few spare seconds to rush through behind them. Flip made a grab after his fleeing figure but missed, still choking on smoke.
Kylo grabbed Flip’s upper arm, manhandling his stumbling form through the second room and out into the clearer air of the precinct.
Calmly, Kylo walked to the nearest phone. His voice was measured when he called to report that an electrical fire had erupted during his legal visit with his clients and that only he and Detective Zimmerman were lucky enough to escape a fiery death.
“Although a formality at this point, ambulances should best be dispatched,” Kylo finished before hanging up the phone and returning to Flip.
“What the fuck are you?” Flip snarled, voice gravely and thick, yanking his arm away as Kylo again tried to lead him ahead.
“You know what I am. Or should I say whom.” Kylo offered an almost imperceptible bow. “Perhaps this conversation would be best continued outside.”
Flip couldn’t argue with the bastard on that point. Pushing himself forward, he made his way through the precinct and out of the exit with Kylo on his heels.
Crashing through the precinct doors, Flip stumbled outside like a drunkard into the cool evening. Inhaling deeply, he flooded his lungs with crisp fresh air, only to be racked with a hacking cough that nearly brought him to his knees on his exhale.
This might take the fun outta smokin’ for a while, he thought darkly.
Another deep coughing breath abated most of the dizziness that swirled behind Flip’s eyes. His third breath corrected his stumbling clumsiness.
Finally back in control of his body, Flip rounded on Kylo. The pompous ass stood with his arms crossed over his broad chest, regarding Flip with an amused grin.
Flip’s right hand was swinging before he even consciously knew it, slamming his iron fist into Kylo’s smirk. A blow Flip knew from much experience could crush bone and easily knock a man unconscious.
Kylo’s head snapped to the side when Flip’s fist connected with his lips, but his body didn’t move or crumple; his eyes didn’t roll back in his head and his legs didn’t give out. None of the reactions Flip had seen from every other recipient of one of his blows.
Coolly, pointedly, Kylo returned his head back to face forward, meeting Flip’s eyes. For just a moment, Flip swore he saw a glow in Kylo’s irises like cinders flickering in a shot of whiskey, before Kylo’s features resumed their amused edge.
Kylo raised a hand, tracing his thumb across his lower lip to wipe away a single drop of blood. His eyes never left Flip’s.
“How very feeble, Detective,” Kylo said as he rubbed the blood between his thumb and forefinger.
The wail of fast approaching sirens drew Flip’s attention, looking down the street. Reflexively, his hand moved toward the gun in his shoulder holster at the thought of Kylo killing more people today, even though he knew his gun would make no difference at all.
“You needn’t worry, Detective,” Kylo said, reading the thought in Flip’s mind. “I have no use of more mayhem. For now.”
Flip glared at Kylo, his breath heavy and ragged, letting his hand fall back to his side.
“Although, I hope you have been sufficiently educated as to how I reprimand those who fail me. Those who frustrate my purposes.” Kylo’s voice took on a dangerous edge as he continued, “Much as you yourself have done, Detective. However, I now think that may have been for the best.”
Flip’s only response was the angry twitch of a muscle under his left eye.
“Fortunately, there is a way for you to make amends to me,” Kylo continued, unruffled by Flip’s demeanor.
“What the fuck are you talkin’ about?” Flip’s voice was still as rasping as a graveyard from the smoke and fumes.
“You should call your lovely wife. Best not to worry her.” The malicious grin on Kylo’s lips as he spoke chilled Flip to his bones, despite the flames from the building.
“What- how do you know about my fuckin’ wife,” Flip snarled, his hands clenching into fists at his side.
“I know everything about your luscious wife,” Kylo assured Flip, taking a step closer himself until his chest nearly brushed against Flip’s. “Except, perhaps, why she allowed herself to become yours, Detective. She is by far your superior.”
Flip’s reply was cut off by the screeching arrival of ambulances and firetrucks. A flurry of frantic activity halted the exchange between the two men.
Paramedics immediately dragged Flip to the ambulance, forcing him to sit on its bumper while they gave him oxygen and verified that he had no significant injuries. He was also able to get a call into you, telling you a watered-down version of the day’s events and assuring you that he’d be home in one piece.
Across the parking lot, Kylo gave a statement to an officer. His haughty smirking eyes met Flip’s on occasion, stoking the flame of Flip’s anger. The other officers on scene knew Flip well enough to know they had best hold off on questioning him for a few days.
Upon finishing with the officer, Kylo strolled to Flip. Hands thrust into his pockets, his demeanor was as relaxed as if he were out for nothing more than an evening stroll.
“Cigarette?” Kylo asked Flip mockingly, eyeing the oxygen line.
“What name did you give those cops?” Flip’s voice was even hoarser now that soreness had begun to set into his throat. “Did you tell ‘em who you are or should I?”
“By all means, tell them who I am.” Kylo smiled at the thought. “You’ll fast be sharing a rubber room with your arrestees, Cupid and Santa.”
Flip huffed a bitter laugh as he yanked the oxygen off his face, pushing to his feet to walk to his truck.
“Not so fast, Detective,” Kylo commanded, moving in front of Flip. “We have business to discuss.”
“I don’t have any fuckin’ business with you. Not until I find a way to kill you, anyway.” Flip moved to shoulder his way past Kylo. Instead, he was stopped solidly when his shoulder collided with the other man, feeling as though he had hit a marble pillar.
“Best of luck on that score.” Kylo again moved in front of Flip, appraising him. “I respect you, Detective. As much as I have ever respected any of your kind. It’s a rare man who stands up to me without fear. That is the only reason you are still alive. However, your continued existence is contingent upon your usefulness to me.”
“You can try to kill me now because I’m not helpin’ you with a goddamn thing,” Flip snarled.
“Think of your wife. Do not make me punish her as well for your transgressions against me.” Kylo’s eyes gleamed at the anger that coursed through Flip at his words. He met Flip’s eyes as he continued, “You intruded upon a most important evening for me, Detective. It is a rare occasion that brings me forth to your squalid little world. However, while I am here, I do enjoy indulging in the pleasures of the flesh myself. You ruined that for me. It is your burden to rectify it.”
“I’d rather die than help you,” Flip spat angrily.
“Don’t be boring. Everyone who tells me that dies,” Kylo replied almost jovially. “You may be cavalier with your own life, but what of your wife’s?”
“Leave my wife outta this. She didn’t do a fuckin’ thing to you.” Flip wished his fucking voice didn’t crack when his words forced their way out of his singed throat.
“That is precisely what I shall not do,” Kylo paused, watching the color drain from Flip’s complexion. “I shall be enjoying my time here as planned. In the company of your delicious wife. I am offering you the courtesy of participating yourself. A courtesy for which you should be most grateful.”
Flip opened his mouth to respond, horror mingling with a wave of nausea in the pit of his stomach, but Kylo continued over him.
“Do not worry, Detective, I have no intention of bringing her pain. Only pleasure.” Kylo finished pompously.
“You want to fuck my wife,” Flip growled deeply. “You’ll never-“
“I want more than that,” Kylo’s voice boomed over Flip’s, smiling evilly around his words. “I want your wife to want me.”
“You motherfucker.” Flip thought his teeth might break apart under the pressure of his grinding jaw, as he glared murderously at the other man.
“Surely, you want that too, Detective,” Kylo continued smoothly. “You want your woman to enjoy herself. You want her to be pleasured.”
Despite the bile churning in his gut, Flip could hardly argue with that.
“For me, it is simple. I have no interest in needless screaming, crying, pleading, and so on from an unwilling participant,” Kylo spoke as if negotiating the terms of a contract. “I get enough of that at work. I’m sure you understand.”
“And how the fuck am I supposed to do that?” Flip gritted maliciously. “Get my wife to agree to this happily?”
“Figure it out, Detective. The tribulations of mortals do not concern me.” Kylo waived his hand dismissively before continuing with an even wider grin. “However, it shouldn’t be overly difficult. I can be quite charming.”
“Fuck you,” Flip snarled, wanting to slam his fists through the Devil’s sideways grin and knowing it would be utterly futile.
“Careful, Detective,” Kylo replied in his honeyed tone, smirking wider now, enjoying this exchange to the point of teasing. “You’re making me hot under the collar.”
“How about you just fuckin’ kill me and call it a day? I’m the guy who ruined your fun,” Flip said, clenching his fists. “Do your worst. But do it to me.”
“I have no desire to do my worst to you. Revenge for something so petty would be far too gauche for me.” Kylo smiled, pleased to have a worthy adversary to torment. “Instead, I desire to do my best. To your wife. I fear she would not enjoy herself nearly as much if I were to kill you.”
“That’s bullshit. You want revenge. Take it out on me.” Flip stood taller, squaring his shoulders.
“Revenge?” Kylo laughed. “My motives are hardly so base or simple as revenge. I came here to your pathetic little world for a purpose. A purpose upon which you intruded. I shall simply now fulfill that purpose elsewhere. With your exquisite wife.”
“What fuckin’ purpose?” Flip glowered.
“One that does not concern you.” Kylo’s cool demeanor never wavered as Flip’s clenched fists began to shake. “I shall enjoy myself. Your wife shall enjoy herself very much indeed. And you? You shall enjoy knowing that you are saving your life and hers.”
“And if I don’t agree to this bullshit?” Flip’s immense body was shaking with his barely contained rage.
“That would be most unwise, Detective,” Kylo’s voice dropped but his smirk widened evilly. “You saw for yourself how I treat those who disappoint me. Regardless of your participation in the event, I shall come for your wife. I suppose it is up to you whether she is pleasured or otherwise.”
Flip paused for a long moment, malice boiling under his skin and knots forming in his stomach. He knew he didn’t have any option but to agree.
“I’ll see what my wife wants,” Flip growled dangerously. “She’s a hell of a lot more terrifying than you anyway.”
******************************************************************************
For the first time since the first day Flip met you, he dreaded coming home to you and seeing your beautiful smiling face. He wanted the drive to last forever. Hell, maybe you’d be better off if he took a mountain curve too fast and never arrived home at all. Even if you would be, the single way in which he was selfish was in wanting you all to himself. All your touches, all your smiles, all your laughter. All for him.
Knowing you knew that full well about him, just how possessive he was of you, and that you loved that about him made him drive even slower and made his hands grip the steering wheel until his knuckles blanched. He had no fucking idea how to convince you that he wanted to fuck you with some other asshole.
When he finally pulled into the driveway of your shared cabin, he was mildly surprised that he hadn’t managed to grind his teeth out of his gums or chew completely through the side of his cheek. Taking a deep breath, he willed his hands to unclench from the wheel as he steeled himself to perform his role for you.
He didn’t get much time to think. As soon as he closed the truck door behind him, you burst through the front door, rushing him.
Instead of jumping into his arms, you stopped to run your hands up his arms and across the breadth of his shoulders, as you appraised him for injuries.
“I’m alright, darlin,’” Flip told you softly, his voice still gravelly from the sting of the smoke. His throat tightened further at the sight of you so concerned on his behalf, but he still managed to give you his best smug grin. “Just another day at the office.”
“You only told me there was a fire at the station,” you scolded him, bringing your hands to cup his scruffy cheeks. “You didn’t tell me that the entire station burned to the fucking ground! And that everyone trapped inside the holding cells died. Jesus Flip.”
“So, it was a long fuckin’ day at the office.” Flip dropped his head to press his forehead against yours, his arms wrapping around your waist. “I didn’t want you to worry about me more than you already do. I’ll always come home to you, sugar.”
“You damn well better,” you told him sternly as you looped your arms around his neck.
Dipping lower to hook an arm behind your knees, Flip scooped you up into a bridal carry. He pressed his lips to yours as he walked you back inside, his kiss made sloppy with his movement.
“Dinner first?” You laughed at the scratch of his goatee on your cheek, kicking your legs lightly in the air while he held you. “Or me?”
“I’m starvin’ for both, gorgeous.” Flip grinned at you, returning you to your feet before landing a smack to your ass.
“Better make up your mind,” you teased while you retrieved a cold beer for each of you from the fridge, knowing he’d enjoy a few after the day he’s had.
“There’s somethin’ I want to run by you first,” he told you with an uncharacteristic reluctance. Accepting the beer from you, he took a long swig.
Taking a relaxed sip of your own, you waited for him to continue, decidedly shocked that he hadn’t already begun tearing your clothes off.
“Days like today make me think,” Flip started hesitantly, weighing each word. “Make me wonder if I’m missin’ out on anything. More than that though, it makes me wonder if you’re missin’ out on anything by bein’ stuck with me for all these years.”
“Oh, you do a pretty good job of keeping me on my toes,” you assured him easily.
“Haven’t you ever gotten bored with me?” Flip asked you. Eyebrows pinched, he looked as though he was almost dreading your answer. “Haven’t you ever wanted to, hell I don’t know, try somethin’ new?”
“Of course not.” You shook your head, setting your beer down. “What are you talking about.”
“I thought you might like it if... I thought it might be kinda fun to spice things up in the sheets,” Flip said, chewing his lip and avoiding your eyes, his hand rubbing the back of his neck into an angry shade of red. “I want to have a threesome.”
“Excuse me?” Your anger rose instantly, your pulse pounding in your ears as your hands flew to your hips. You took an aggressive step toward Flip. “Is this your way of saying you want to fuck some other woman? If you touch another woman, you’ll never touch me again! And I’ll cut off anything that touches her before I leave. You’ll wish you had died in that fire!”
“No, no, no, that’s not what I’m sayin’ at all,” Flip stammered, raising his hands defensively. “Not with another woman. I never want to touch anyone but you, sugar.”
You raised an inquisitive eyebrow, still leaning toward him, confrontational.
“With another man,” Flip gritted. “I want to have a threesome with you and,” he cleared his throat harshly, “another man.”
“What? Did you inhale toxic fumes in that fire?” You asked incredulously, not entirely kidding. “Did someone hit you in the head with a pipe during your bust?”
“I’m serious, gorgeous. I want to,” Flip implored, taking a step toward you.
“How are you serious?” You laughed sarcastically. “You’d kill any man who touched me like that. I’ve seen you break men’s noses and jaws for trying to grab my ass.”
“Ordinarily, yeah,” Flip agreed, reaching his hands to your shoulders to massage you with his strong grip. “But this is different. I’ll be there. So, it’s like it’s sanctioned.”
“What’s gotten into you?” You asked, your muscles unable to remain tensed under his kneading hands. “Is this some kind of test to hear me say no?”
“No, I promise that’s not it, sugar,” Flip told you softly, leaning down to place a soothing kiss to your lips. “I want to do somethin’ extra special for you.”
“You always treat me wonderfully, Flip. You don’t need to do anything that special,” you assured him against his lips. “I don’t want anyone but you.”
“Maybe I’d like to show off for you,” he told you as he pulled back from your kiss, smirking down at you with his endearing playful smugness. “You’ve been with me for so long, I think you take for granted just how fuckin’ incredible I am. This way, I can show you firsthand that I can make you cum harder than any other swingin’ dick out there.”
“You’re an idiot. You know that, right?” You asked, smiling as your mood lightened.
“You’re the one who married me,” he teased, smoothing his warm hands all the way down your arms to take both your hands in his. “C’mon. It’ll be fun, darlin.’”
“Fun until you get murder charges the morning after,” you replied, not entirely joking.
“Nah, I’ll be happy from seein’ how good you feel.” He raised both your hands to his lips, kissing them each in succession.
“Who do you want to do this with?” You asked, hardly believing that you were agreeing to Flip’s proposition.
“There’s a hotshot defense lawyer who I think you’ll like,” he told you in his cheeriest voice. “He’s big like me. Black hair. Handsome.”
“Handsome, huh?” You teased, squeezing his hands.
“He might even be prettier than me, but I’m more dashing.” Flip flashed you his best grin.
“You’re sure this is what you want?” You asked, watching his eyes for any of his subtle tells you knew so well.
“I’m sure,” Flip told you firmly, releasing your hands to wrap his arms around your waist and pull you into his embrace, wrapping his powerful arms around you and holding you close. “I’m sure, sugar.”
******************************************************************************
The snowy peaks of the Colorado mountains were painted scarlet by the glow of the full blood moon, shining in through the windows of Flip’s truck as he drove you into town the following evening. Pressed close against his side, you teased his neck and ear with kisses and nips, fingers laced with his where his hand rested on the skin of your thigh underneath the hem of your dress.
Excitement thrummed through your body like an electric current as the miles fell away between you and the upscale downtown hotel. Your thighs quivered, your anticipation mounting with every mile that passed. Dampness collected in the lace of your panties, fresh arousal mingling with the cum Flip had fucked into you before leaving your cabin.
The lawyer with whom Flip had made his arrangement had chosen a unique, although alluring, setting for your rendezvous. A hotel that was a relic from the eighteen-eighties old west, recently restored to its vintage, swanky glory. Even the valet, who nervously slid behind the wheel of your truck under the scrutiny of Flip’s menacing scowl, was dressed in a vintage footman’s uniform.
Walking through the lobby then down long hallways, Flip’s hand rested heavily on the small of your back, warming you through the thin fabric of your dress.
Paneled double doors at the end of a hallway marked the entrance to the hotel’s finest suite.
At the door, Flip spun you roughly to face him, shoving your back against the wall in the same motion. His lips crashed down against yours almost angrily, more needy and wanton than you were expecting from him so early.
“You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” he told you huskily against your lips before pulling back to look into your eyes with an unexpected intensity. “I love you.”
“I love you too, handsome,” you returned with a smile, rubbing your hands across his chest. “If this is already getting to you, Flip, we don’t have to do this.”
“Yes, we do.” His voice was thick with his resolve. His hand dropped to your waist, pulling you against his side as he moved to the door.
Flip found the door unlocked, pushing it open to reveal a darkened room lit by the romantic glow of several candles placed on a table, the marble fireplace mantle, and upon two nightstands that sat on either side of the bed. The room was decorated in a Victorian style with tufted furniture and ornate molding. The large bed in the center was even complete with a canopy.
The dimly lit room appeared vacant. As your eyes adjusted to the gloom, a figure slowly materialized before you. A towering black shadow stepping toward you, as if out of the very darkness itself.
“You are even more exquisite than I was anticipating, Mrs. Zimmerman,” the man you knew to be Kylo Ren spoke in a molasses rich tone, forgoing a proper introduction. His fiery eyes shone with an almost unnatural glimmer in the darkness, eyes so similar to Flip’s that your breath caught in your throat. Similar, but set apart by the feral yellow shine contained in their depths.
Those citrine eyes raked your body, ravenously caressing your curves, before rising above your figure and drifting to where Flip stood beside you, as a wicked grin bloomed on Kylo’s plush lips. At your waist, Flip’s hand gripped you tighter as he held you closer to his side.
“Shall we, Detective?” Kylo asked rhetorically, his gaze leveled pointedly at Flip, as he ran a huge hand through his dense shoulder length mane.
Flip had described him accurately. The beautifully handsome man who stood before you was Flip’s doppelgänger. Alluring in a completely different way, Kylo was smooth in all the ways that Flip was coarse, refined in all the ways that Flip was rugged. Even his polished and tailored jet-black suit was the perfect opposite of Flip’s flannel and jeans. They were two sides of the same delicious coin.
Flip’s hand was still on your waist, his thumb rubbing soothing circles, as he stood beside you. You could feel an undercurrent of aggression between the two men, almost resonating off of Flip in waves, misplaced for the setting.
The fleeting thought left your mind when Flip moved behind you. Dropping his head, his hot lips pressed to your jaw below your ear, placing open mouthed kisses there while his goatee scratched lightly against your skin.
Before you, little more than an arm’s length away, Kylo stood still. Hands clasped in front of him, his eyes gleamed in the moonlight that streamed in through the window as he watched you hungrily. He made no movement toward you, seemingly content to watch for the moment.
Behind you, Flip pulled the zipper slowly down the back of your dress, his mouth lowering to kiss and bite at your shoulder. Once unzipped, he pushed your dress down your body, still kissing you, as he slipped it down to pool at your feet.
“You’re so fuckin’ beautiful, sugar,” he whispered into your skin. “I love you so much.”
Trailing his hands back up your body, he huffed hot against your neck at the feeling of your smooth skin under his calloused palms and the feel of the lace of your crimson lingerie as his hands passed over the delicate material. He gripped you tightly for a moment, thick fingers digging into your hips, lips lingering on your skin, before pushing you gently forward.
Into Kylo’s arms that opened to welcome you.
One of Flip’s hands stayed possessively on the small of your back, stroking you softly, as Kylo’s hands reached to your hips. Pulling your body close but not yet touching his, Kylo leaned down to kiss you. His lips were soft and warm, hot even, and his tongue was molten when he licked into your mouth.
A rush of excitement flooded you at the feeling of his deep, searing kiss. Your hands hovered awkwardly, unsure of where to place them, until Kylo took one and placed it on his chest. Holding his own hand over yours, he closed the distance between your bodies without breaking his kiss.
Behind you, Flip resumed kissing the side of your neck, one hand stroking your back more soothing than arousing, the other caressing your outer thigh. You could feel his cock straining in his jeans where it pressed against your ass and lower back.
Sandwiched between the two massively large men, it felt as though you had stepped into a furnace, the heat radiating off of their bodies consuming you.
Kylo’s hand dropped from yours, trailing his fingers down your arm and then down your body to slip inside your panties. His fingers slid smoothly through your slickened folds, sending sparks of pleasure through you with the slightest touch.
“Such a good girl,” Kylo whispered into your mouth as he pushed two thick fingers into you, curling them deliciously. “So wet already.”
The feeling of Kylo’s fingers pumping into you had you moaning into his mouth as he kissed you. His lips and tongue moved unhurried and sensually against yours in contrast to the rough snapping of his wrist, driving his fingers into you. Behind you, Flip pressed his chest against your back, his hand now gripping your hip rough enough to dig bruises into your skin with his calloused fingertips.
Keeping your lips joined, Kylo backed slowly toward the bed. Inside you, his fingers curled against your gspot, his motion beckoning you forward to follow him.
Walking at your back, Flip unclasped your bra and tossed it aside. He reached one hand to your front, smoothing his rough palm across your nipple and gripping your flesh.
At the edge of the bed, Kylo pulled away from kissing you to return to his full height and regard Flip over the top of your head.
“Would you like to make her cum first, Detective? Or shall I?” Kylo raised a challenging eyebrow at Flip, meeting his eyes. “A taste of things to come before the real fun begins.”
Flip’s only response was an aggressive growl as he spun you to face him, your back now facing Kylo and the bed. Your husband’s whiskey-toned eyes were wilder than you had ever seen them, fueled by lust and angry competition.
Bending just enough to grab the backs of your thighs, Flip shouldered Kylo roughly aside to lift you off the ground and toss you back onto the bed. A lusting smile graced your lips as you bounced on the mattress. You loved it when Flip manhandled you, using his incredible strength all for your pleasure.
Not bothering to unbutton his shirt, Flip brusquely tugged it off over his head, making his hair even more disheveled, adding to his savage bearing. Beside him, Kylo slowly unbuttoned his own shirt, casting an amused grin at Flip’s heated display.
Ignoring Kylo, Flip leaned over your supine figure, bringing his lips to the sensitive skin of your navel as he pulled your panties down your legs. His goatee scratched lightly at your skin as he kissed you, trailing his lips down your belly as he fell to his knees on the floor beside the bed. Still kissing you, Flip lifted both of your legs up to rest on his broad shoulders. Grabbing your hips, he yanked your body toward him, bringing your ass to the edge of the bed.
Flip wasted no time diving into your pussy, swiping through your folds with his nose and tongue as he licked into you eagerly. The rumble in his chest was one you recognized, a pleasured purr at the taste of you.
Watching your eyes close in delight, Kylo shrugged his shirt off and walked to the other side of the bed to stand behind your head as you lay perpendicular across the mattress. Planting his palms on either side of your body, Kylo lowered himself to meet your lips again, kissing you upside down with as much passion as Flip gave to your pussy.
Shivers of pleasure were already running on electric currents through your body from the rush of stimulation from both men. Your right hand flew down to fist into Flip’s hair, encouraging him further. Moaning into Kylo’s mouth, your left hand moved to tease at your nipple.
Breaking his kiss, Kylo grabbed your hand to pull it away from your breast and bring it to his lips. He placed a wet kiss to your palm before dropping his head again to bring his mouth to your tit, giving your nipple much better attention than your own hand was capable. His perfect alabaster chest hovered above your face and the urge to kiss and lick across the planes of muscle was irresistible. You felt Kylo’s lips turn into a grin against your breast when your lips connected with his skin.
The sensations from both men were almost overwhelming. Heat rushed through your core, pooling faster in your abdomen than you had ever experienced. Feeling your body’s response that he knew so well, Flip moved his hand down to push two of his huge fingers into you, pumping in and out of your clenching pussy while he swirled his tongue through your folds.
Raising himself back from your breast, Kylo stared hungrily down at your figure, watching as you shuddered and bucked from the pleasure Flip gave you.
“Your wife is such a lovely creature, Detective. So beautiful,” Kylo crooned, running his warm hands along your body, following your curves and swells. “Do you think you’re deserving of her?”
Glaring murderously up at Kylo, Flip sucked your clit between his lips. You moaned and bucked against his face at the feeling of his tongue flicking across your clit as he sucked ardently. Yanking Flip’s hair roughly, you pleaded for more through incoherent moans.
“You have no response, Detective? Cat got your tongue?” Kylo teased mellifluously at Flip’s position, chin deep in your pussy.
The feeling of Flip growling against your clit snapped the coil of ecstasy that had tightened in your core, sending waves of pleasure surging through your body as your orgasm crashed over you.
Flip continued kissing and tonguing you gently until your pussy finished spasming around his fingers. You were too drunk with pleasure to notice that instead of meeting your eyes as he pulled away from your body, Flip regarded the other man above you with silent malice while he wiped his lips across your inner thigh. Holding Kylo’s smirking eyes, Flip kissed your thigh before sucking a welt into your skin, marking one of his favorite places on your body.
Rising from his knees, Flip crawled over you, slipping one hand underneath the small of your back to move you into the center of the bed beneath him. His clothed cock rubbed against your dripping pussy when he lowered his hips to meet yours, the friction of his jeans teasing you as he ground into you. Your eyes fluttered shut with happiness. Your hands reached for his shoulders, running across the dense cords of muscle.
“Age before beauty, Detective,” Kylo said in a low tone. The commanding edge in his deep voice held a warning to Flip that Kylo would have you first. Punctuating his order, Kylo stripped himself of the remainder of his clothes.
Below your hands, Flip’s muscles tensed, his whole body going rigid above you. He slowly lifted his head from gazing down at you up to eye Kylo violently. With your entire body caged beneath him, Flip paused protectively above you, his lips turned in a viscous snarl.
A heartbeat passed before Kylo lowered his chin, leveling his gaze at Flip in the first show of aggression he had offered. The threat was palpable, held in his entire bearing. Even the air itself seemed to grow heavy, simmering with an unspoken threat.
By the time you opened your eyes, the exchange had passed. Flip reached his hand behind your neck, pulling you up off the mattress to meet his lips in a deep kiss. Backing off from your body, Flip never broke his kiss even while pulling you with him until you moved into a seated position and then further still until your mouths parted when you fell forward onto your hands and knees. Flip knelt on the bed in front of you, putting you in the perfect position to kiss down the trail of hair descending beneath the waistband of his jeans while he rubbed his huge hand soothingly along your back.
Standing at the edge of the bed behind you, Kylo ran his hands slowly across your ass, appreciating the feel of you as he moved his touch to your hips. His cock arched excitedly toward you, veins pulsing angrily along its thick length. The malicious agony that rendered Flip’s features brought a smile to Kylo’s lips as he admired the sight of your pussy, glistening in the scarlet-tinged moonlight.
“What a lovely wife you have, Detective.” Kylo couldn’t resist commenting as the fat tip of his cock nudged at your entrance. “Beautiful.”
Feeling Flip’s muscles quivering with tension in stark contrast to his gentle hand at your back, you looked up at him through your eyelashes.
“Are you alright with this, Flip?” You asked, kissing his stomach again through your words. “Do you still want to do this?”
“‘Course I do, sugar,” Flip assured you, lying like hell, while he smiled down warmly at you. His free hand moved to stroke your cheek softly. “You just relax and let us make you feel good.”
“You’re about to feel very good, lovely.” Kylo’s voice rumbled richly as he pushed into you, spreading your pussy around his enormous cock.
Your mouth fell open against Flip’s skin at the delicious intrusion. A moan escaped your throat at the feeling of Kylo bottoming out inside of you.
“Fuck, your pussy’s divine, beautiful,” Kylo praised, digging his fingers into your hips. “You’re a lucky man, Detective.”
“I know just how fuckin’ lucky I am without you havin’ to tell me about it, Ren,” Flip gritted through clenched teeth.
While Kylo gave you a moment to adjust to the stretch of his cock, you lifted a hand to Flip’s fly. Popping the button on his jeans and tugging down the zipper, you pulled Flip’s cock free from his jeans and boxer briefs without pushing his jeans down further. The waistband of his briefs propped his cock up, presenting it for you perfectly as it bobbed hard and heavy in front of your face.
Your mouth fell open of its own accord at the feeling of Kylo dragging his cock out of you before slamming it back in again. His pummeling force shoved you forward onto your hands. Keeping yourself propped upright in that position was even difficult. Kylo set a rigorous pace, hitting your gspot with bullseye precision on every thrust.
Keeping your jaw loose came easily with the heady pleasure alighting every nerve in your body. Flip guided the thick velvety tip of his cock to your lips, meeting your tongue as you licked the underside of his head.
The familiar warmth of your mouth and caress of your tongue when Flip pushed his cock between your lips was almost enough to make him forget for a moment that he was sharing the delights of your body with another man. With the Devil himself. Flip allowed his head to lean back, his eyes to fall closed; allowed himself to try to be carried away on a tide of pleasure.
Flip’s reprieve only lasted through a few bucks of his hips. A wicked snarl rumbled from deep within Kylo’s chest. Inhuman. Wild and unhinged. Tearing Flip back into sinister reality, his eyes shot open as his head jerked level, almost face to face with the Devil as he fucked into you.
Lips twisted in a bestial snarl. Hair failing around his angular features in a wild mane. Eyes gleaming with iridescent oranges and yellows that mirrored the fires of Hell. Backlit by the light of the blood moon, sweat glistened red across the rippling planes of muscles that tensed with every thrust. Kylo fucked you like an animal. If Flip had any lingering doubt as to the authenticity of his identity, it was now burned away by the sight of Kylo’s fiery eyes before him.
Of all possible torments, Flip couldn’t stand to watch Kylo face to face while he fucked you; to watch another man lost in the pleasure of your body. Worse still was watching how your body responded. Feeling you sigh around Flip’s cock. Seeing your thighs quiver and eyes squeeze shut every time Kylo pumped his cock into you.
With a soft hand at your cheek, Flip withdrew his cock from your mouth. Reaching down to grab your arms, he lifted you up until you were back on your knees. Back arched, you planted your forearms on Flip’s chest and hands on his shoulders to support yourself while Kylo pounded you. Instead of looking at the Devil or at your beautiful lusting face, Flip dropped his head to kiss you deeply, cupping your face and neck in his huge gentle hands.
Kylo’s hands dug bruises into your hips as he fucked you, letting you feel every ridge and every long inch of his cock drag along your walls. Pressed against your back, his chest felt steaming hot on your skin. The new angle had him rubbing even more of his perfect cock across the best places inside of you. Paired with the sensation of Flip kissing you like it was his last night on earth, like he wanted to pour all of his love into you with the slide of his tongue and caress of his lips, the ecstasy that flooded you was more intense than anything you had ever experienced.
Swallowing all your moans and mewls, Flip could feel how close you were to cumming again. He knew your body so well, he could feel your impending pleasure as well as if it was his cock pushing you toward the edge from the inside.
Flip knew what you needed and he wanted to give you everything he could, as he always did. Dropping his right hand from your cheek, he brought it down to your clit, rubbing fast circles through your silky arousal while Kylo’s cock slid in and out of you.
“I love you so fuckin’ much, sugar,” Flip whispered into your mouth, as your second orgasm hit you in heavy pulses.
At the feeling of your pussy clenching around his cock, Kylo groaned low, his head thrown back like a wolf howling at the moon. Still rubbing your clit to extend your pleasure, even Flip could feel the way Kylo’s cock throbbed in response to the feeling of you.
“Are you ready for me to fill your perfect pussy up, lovely?” Kylo asked, tipping his head back to look down at you with a dark smile, as he increased the pace of his thrusts.
In response, you moaned happily into Flip’s mouth, feeling the way he gripped your cheek tighter. Removing his hand from your clit, he lifted it to cover your own hand where it rested on his sweaty chest.
“Say it, beautiful girl.” Kylo’s voice rumbled near your ear, his eyes glowing with a fiery wickedness at his command. “I want to hear you say it.”
“I want to feel you. I want to be full of your cum, Kylo,” you panted, kissing Flip even as his jaw clenched.
“That’s a good girl,” Kylo gritted as he slammed his cock deep inside of you, filling you with his hot cum.
Teeth bared in a snarl of ecstasy, Kylo groaned richly as his cock pulsed inside of you. Flip kissed you deep, stealing your breath from your lungs and stealing every fragment of your attention he could from the Devil.
“Are you going to enjoy your gorgeous wife as well, Detective?” Kylo’s voice dripped with the sweetest venom, asking his question with his cock still buried inside of you.
Breaking your kiss to regard Kylo, Flip’s glare held just as much brimstone as the eldritch tint in Kylo’s eyes.
“I’ll show you what she fuckin’ enjoys,” Flip growled harshly.
Flip pulled you into him, yanking you away from Kylo. In one swift rotation, he had your back thrown down onto the mattress and you caged beneath his powerful arms once again. You barely had time for your arms to find purchase around his broad shoulders and your legs to lift around his waist before he plunged his cock into you, hard, angry, and just as aggressive as the rest of him.
You always loved it when Flip fucked you angrily and wild. Winding him up until he snapped had always been one of your favorite pastimes. But even on those occasions, he never had anything to prove. Even when he was seeing red, he still knew it was a game that you both enjoyed. This was different. Flip fucked you like he had everything to prove, like he was showing you and the other man exactly why you would never desire anyone but him. He was going to ruin you afresh for any other man.
Lips attacking your neck and shoulder, Flip littered marks across your skin as his cock pounded into you at the perfect angle he knew you loved. Already overstimulated, you felt as though every thrust ignited every shuddering nerve in your body.
“Your sweet little pussy belongs to me. It’s all mine,” Flip huffed against your neck. “You’re all mine.”
“I’ve always been yours, handsome,” you sighed in a voice hoarse from pleasure. “I’ll always be yours.”
Meeting Flip’s rough thrusts with your own rhythm, you bucked your hips to meet his own, grinding and sliding along the length of his cock. Your nails trailed pink lines across Flip’s meaty shoulders and back. Every sharp tinge spurred him further, fueled by knowing just how much pleasure he gave you.
“I’ll destroy you for anyone else. Keep you stuffed full of my cum,” Flip said thickly, biting at your jaw as your nails dug crescent shaped welts into his back.
Kylo could have sat back and watched Flip fuck you. He was enjoying a pleasant afterglow himself and there was little more pleasure he could give you while Flip was looming over you like a ravening beast, fucking you harshly, making your eyes roll and toes curl in lusting delirium. But watching didn’t seem fun at all to Kylo. Not when he could twist the knife a little deeper for Flip. He was the Devil, after all.
Kylo crawled across the mattress, ignoring the sideways glare from Flip. Settling beside you, he brought his hot lips to your shoulder to begin kissing sensually along your skin. While Flip fucked you hard and fast, pounding you into the mattress, Kylo kissed and licked at your clavicle like an adoring lover, raising goosebumps with his lips while Flip’s rough thrusts sent tremors through your body.
Lifting his lips from you just long enough to lick his fingers, wetting them thoroughly, he snaked his hand between your body and Flip’s to rub your nipple before resuming his searing kisses. You were dizzy with the pleasure both men gave you, your head spinning in the best of ways.
“I think you’ve had about enough fun for one night, Ren,” Flip barked in time with a harsh thrust, making you cry his name.
“Who would I be to deny your lovely wife more pleasure,” Kylo crooned, his focus on you, unconcerned with Flip’s anger.
“She doesn’t need you to get all the pleasure she can fuckin’ handle. That’s my job,” Flip grated, crashing his lips to yours and slamming his fist down into the mattress between Kylo’s face and your head. Reaching down with his other hand, he hooked behind your thigh, shoving your knee toward your chest to fuck into you even deeper.
Beside you, Kylo pressed himself even closer. You could feel his lips turned into a smile against your shoulder where he littered open mouthed kisses.
Your moans filled the room, mingling with the slap of Flip’s skin against yours and the wet squelch of your pussy. Flip swallowed all your beautiful noises, every moan and whimper, kissing you ardently, as he pounded you into a blinding orgasm. The feeling of your pussy seizing around Flip’s throbbing cock, gripping him tightly and pulling him deep inside you, knocked Flip over the edge himself. Burying his cock as deeply as he could, Flip pumped you full of his thick cum as a low rumbled groan thrummed through his heavy chest.
Kylo kissed at your skin while he still caressed your breast, unperturbed by you and Flip trembling together as you both crested your highs.
Quickly regaining his bearings, Flip kissed you softly for several lazy moments until your breathing steadied and your body grew limp with your afterglow. Pulling up from you, Flip turned his attention to Kylo, catching his eye before jerking his head curtly toward the door, indicating in the politest way possible for Kylo to get the fuck out.
“Do you not have another round in you, Detective?” Kylo grinned darkly from his place at your side, “I could spend ages enjoying your wife, myself.”
While you still held Flip’s cock inside of you, he raised himself up on his palms that rested on either side of your shoulders. His only response was a deep growl, aimed murderously at Kylo. Every muscle in Flip’s sweaty body tensed as he caged you possessively beneath him. The intensity of his glare and panting, tooth-bearing grimace was enough to make even the Devil himself recant.
Keeping his gaze leveled at Kylo, Flip forced his features to soften before he returned his attention to you. Looking down upon you with nothing but unadulterated adoration.
“How’s a hot bath sound right about now, sugar?” Flip murmured in a pleasure hoarse voice.
“Only if you’ll join me,” you told him dreamily.
“Close your eyes.” Flip lowered his head to rub his nose against yours. “I’ll run it for us.”
Flip rolled off of you on the same side on which Kylo still leaned beside you, physically inserting his huge body between Kylo and yourself. His face inches from Kylo’s, Flip used his body to shove the other man further away from you.
Luckily, Kylo was amused at Flip’s possessiveness after the events of the evening and allowed himself to be ushered off the bed by Flip.
Flip pulled the sheet over you, as you stretched and smiled up at him lovingly, stroking your cheek with the back of his fingers before drawing away from you. He retrieved his briefs, pulling them on as he stood from the bed.
“Get dressed and get the fuck out,” Flip ordered Kylo, low enough to keep it inaudible from you.
“You’re not going to tuck me in, too, Detective?” Kylo asked, flashing his teeth in a smirk.
“You didn’t even buy me a drink first. I’m just playin’ by your rules,” Flip returned gruffly, stepped past Kylo toward the bathroom to begin running a bath. If nothing else, to cover the words yet to be exchanged between Kylo and himself.
When Flip re-emerged from the bathroom, your eyes were closed and breaths even. Kylo had redressed in his black suit pants and shoes, and was buttoning up his black shirt.
Crossing his arms, Flip watched the other man menacingly, waiting for him to move toward the door. Instead, Kylo walked toward Flip as he buttoned his shirt.
Retrieving his jacket from the floor, Kylo slung it over his shoulder, shoving his opposite hand into his pants pocket. He looked perfectly chic and nonchalant.
“Get. The fuck. Out,” Flip hissed between clenched teeth. Moving pointedly to the door, he wrenched it open.
“We should do this again,” Kylo pushed, grinning at Flip’s deepening glare.
“Fat fuckin’ chance,” Flip growled. “Don’t you have places to go, people to possess? Some asshole out there has to be wantin’ to make a pact with you by now.”
“Why are you so adverse to the thought, Detective? I had quite a nice time, myself. And your wife had a very pleasurable evening, indeed,” Kylo continued, refusing to let Flip shepherd him out of the open door. “Even you enjoyed yourself, Detective. Your body betrayed you. Some things cannot be falsified.”
“I never want to see your fuckin’ face again,” Flip snapped, trying his best to keep his voice low so he didn’t rouse you. “You know that. And you know why.”
“That is unfortunate, Detective,” Kylo continued, almost jovially, adding to Flip’s rising temper. “I hear co-parenting is all the rage these days.”
“W-What?” Flip stammered, eyes widening.
“Did you not notice the moon tonight?” Kylo tilted his chin toward the window, indicating the blood red full moon shining intrusively into the room. Its beams cast a crimson glow over your sleeping figure. “It has been centuries since I’ve seen such a moon. There’s simply no telling what kind of nefarious purposes could be accomplished under the gaze of the blood moon.”
Flip seethed, unable to form a coherent thought other than trying to rip the Devil limb from limb.
“Don’t be bitter, Detective. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for twins. One of yours and one of mine,” Kylo assured Flip with an arrogant wink. “Until next time.”
Moving to the door that Flip still held open, Kylo pushed it closed instead of walking through it. He paused to give Flip one last smirk before opening the door again.
On the other side of the door was no longer the carpeted hallway of the hotel. Instead, it opened to a long black corridor, composed of solid marble floors and stone walls; elegant and ornate, albeit understated. Metal scones holding flickering torches lined the walls, their flames painting the corridor with their dancing light. At the far end of the hallway, a faint orange shimmering glow shone in the darkness.
Kylo’s heavy footfalls echoed through the hallway as he walked away in his long agile gait.
Closing the door, Flip hoped with everything he had that Kylo was bluffing, a final way to toy with him. He knew deep in his bones that was not the case.
Surrounded by the bloody glow of the crimson moonlight, he settled himself on the bed beside you. Pulling you into his arms and curling his huge body around you protectively. He also knew that he loved you so much that it hardly mattered.
