The mood was poor. Between Lukes death, Valkyries training, and Serpines detour, Skulduggery was becoming increasingly frustrated. With the 3 week time frame slipping by, the good nature banter had become uneasy silence. No one acknowledged the very real possibility that they may not be able to shunt to back , but these thoughts weighed heavily on Skulduggerys mind.
He sat cross-legged overlooking a small stream in the mortal settlement they had stopped in. The homes had long since been abandoned and fallen into disrepair, but having any sort of structure to sleep in was a welcome reprise from their tents. The air was cold, but the night was fine and clear.
Skulduggery could hear the crunching of the frosty ground beneath Serpines feet before he ever saw him , though he refused to acknowledge him until he sat heavily beside him.
"Couldn't sleep?" Serpine asked, leaning back to look towards the sky.
Skulduggery remained perfectly still. "Your insistence to ignore me is admirable, but if we truly are stuck here, you'll have to at some point. You, of all people, should understand the desire to go out of your way to kill a man who wronged you."
Skulduggery moved to get up, but Serpine reached out to grab his sleeve. "Can't you ever find it in yourself to forgive me?" Serpine asked mockingly
Skulduggery ragged his arm away. "Can't you ever do something that doesn't serve your own needs?"
"Nobody else will detective. And if we truly do die on this mission, I'd like to have all my affairs in order."
"We've enough in this land to contend with without you acting on your every whim and desire." Skulduggery snapped, walking back towards the homes.
"Look, you're obviously still angry with me, I was rather hoping to clear the air," Serpine said
"I've nothing to say to you," Skulduggery called back as he continued walking. However, he could hear the adepts' footsteps behind him.
Skulduggery sighed as he heard the door open behind him. "Go to bed, Nefarian." He felt Serpines hand reached out to him again, and he snapped, whirling around and pinning Nefarian against the door.
"I can't seem to sleep actually perhaps you could-" Serpine couldn't finish his sentence before Skulduggery was dragging him out of the way, but this time he fought back stepping into Skulduggery's space with his shoulder and tackling him against the dirty floor.
Skulduggery got his leg between them and attempted to kick Serpine away. He was soon back on top of him, so Skulduggery gripped both his arms and flipped them so he was ontop.
Serpine was grinning madly, his chest heaving and a red blush creeping across his cheeks. "Is this what you wanted from me?" Skulduggery growled, his usual composure and resistance being overcome by his frustration.
He could feel Serpine becoming hard beneath his leg. "It would be better with the facade," He responded, grinning widely.
Skulduggery hesitated. He knew it was wrong to want this, but the thrill he felt having the adept pinned beneath him was undeniable. So, he brought his hand to his collarbone and tapped the sigil. Serpine took the opportunity to try and fight back, shoving Skulduggery to the ground and pinning him. He rolled his hips against the elementals and moaned softly before leaning down to kiss Skulduggery.
It was rough and breathy, Serpine had one hand on Skulduggerys throat, but as he tried to bring his other down to Skulduggerys crotch Skulduggery shoved him away and slammed him against the wall, he had one hand in Nefarians hair tugging hard on the short strands whilst the other hoisted his leg up. Serpine smiled as he felt Skulduggerys cock becoming hard against his own. "You take what I give you." Skulduggery growled as he ground his hips against Serpines. Nefarian tilted his head back against the cool bricks and moaned as he fisted his hands in Skulduggerys leather coat.
Skulduggery took his hand away from Serpine neck to pull his trousers down, letting them pool at his ankles before he dropped his hand from Serpines hip and pushed him to his knees. Serpine hesitated momentarily, considering if he should try and fight it, but Skulduggerys hand tugged his head forward.
"Isnt this what you wanted you slut? To show how good you can be for me?" Serpine brought his head forward taking Skulduggerys cock into his mouth and licking at the slit. He teased the underside as Skulduggery relaxed into him and started rocking his hips slowly. Serpine took him down to the base, breathing heavily as Skulduggery stroked through his hair, letting out soft words of encouragement.
Gradually they moved so Serpines head was against the wall and he was pinned there by Skulduggery as he swallowed around his hard cock. Serpines breathing was becoming restricted but he cherished it and could feel himself getting harder. Skulduggery started trembling slightly above him and let out soft moans.
Slowly he pulled out and it almost seemed gentle, the way he stroked Serpines cheek, before he grabbed Serpines arm and twisted him around shoving him face first against the wall with one hand harshly pressing into his back. "Wait here"
Skulduggery said before walking towards his bag, his tone left no room for argument, so Serpine fought to keep his gaze down. Skulduggery came back shortly, his hands wrapping around Serpines waist to press lightly over his erection.
"What do you want?" Skulduggery asked and Serpine faltered "It was you who started this so tell me slut all these weeks what did you imagine?"
Serpine swallowed "Just get on with it-" He started but Skulduggery withdrew his hands and backed away threatening to move towards the door.
Serpine took a deep breath and started again "Please fuck me, Skulduggery please I need it, needed it for so long" and was rewarded with Skulduggerys hands pulling his trousers down finally letting his cock out.
"See was that so hard? I knew you could be my good boy" Skulduggery said as his slick fingers rubbed at Serpines entrance gently before he pushed one in. Serpine slumped against the wall and relaxed into Skulduggery's grip. It wasn't long before he was working in a second finger and third finger.
Both men were moaning softly and breathing heavily as Skulduggery became rougher and moved his fingers deeper. He took his hand away and Nefarian willed himself to relax as Skulduggery put a hand on his hip and guided his cock in. His other hand wrapped tightly around Serpines neck, his fingers digging in. Skulduggery moved forward until Serpine could feel his hips against his ass. He thrust gently at first as both men became used to the overwhelming sensation.
Serpine let out a frustrated growl at the lack of movement, and Skulduggery let his hand pinch Serpines nipple harshly "Beg" He said.
Serpine seemed like he might argue but his cock was hard and red against the wall "Fuck me please Skulduggery you feel so good-" Skulduggery cut him off with a sharp thrust of his hips and started slamming into him the rough slap of skin echoing in the cold house. His hand was still on Serpines throat, gripping tightly and choking him. "You beg so prettily, should've known a slut like you would take my cock so well." Skulduggery grunted continuing to fuck him against the cool wall. "Moaning so sweetly for me, maybe everyone will hear how good you can be. How desperately you need my cock"
His words were quickly bringing Serpine to the edge, he was moaning louder and louder but Skulduggery brought his hand around to Serpines cock and gripped it tightly, Skulduggery stopped fucking him. "I'm the one who decides if you get to come slut" Skulduggery growled "maybe if you ask nicely I'll reward you"
The humiliation had long been overwhelmed Serpines need to come "You feel so good, I needed this so much please-" he started and Skulduggery gasped, speeding up his thrusts once again and tugged on Serpines dick roughly.
"Be a good boy and come" Skulduggery grunted and Serpine let out a moan as his back arched and he came against the wall barely managing to stand as Skulduggerys thrusts became more erratic. "Thank you, Skulduggery, thank you," he let out, and Skulduggery gripped Serpines throat tightly as he bit into his shoulder, breaking the skin when he came inside Serpine letting out a low moan.
Skulduggery released his hold on Serpine as both slumped against the wall, panting heavily. Skulduggery tapped the sigils on his collarbone and let his facade flow away. He stood and redressed quickly, barely affording Serpine a glance. He opened the door and stepped out into the harsh cold.
"Go to bed Nefarian," He said as he slammed the door shut behind himself.
