Everly was on Bryn’s heels as he stomped up the steps. “Where are you going?” he asked Bryn.

“Gonna take a long shower while the council of dickheads deliberates. They don’t need me for that.”

“Why are you still mad at Nox?”

“I’m not mad, Ev, just frustrated. Supremely frustrated,” Bryn amended, stripping off his shirt as he headed down the hall and into the room where his clothes were kept and he showered. “Everything could be different.Anythingcould be different if he would get off his ass anddo something,but for the first time in the history of the universe, we have a god who believes in minding his own business and letting bygones be bygones.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“What’s good?” Bryn countered while toeing off his wet sneakers. “I get not wanting to cause trouble or start the last great holy war, but come on! Imagine being the Terminator and holding down a 9-5 as an accountant.”

“Accountants help people too,” Everly argued, making Bryn scoff.

“Sure they do.” He was chuckling as he kicked the bathroom door shut behind him and reached into the shower to start it.Bryn pushed down the waist of his joggers and boxers, muttering under his breath as he kicked them away.

“I thought about being an accountant,” Everly said, causing Bryn to jump and spin.

“Fuck!” he whispered when he found Everly staring up at him. “Ev!” Bryn protested, but Everly didn’t move a hair or blink.

“I’m not good at math and you have to be good at math to be an accountant,” he continued in his soft monotone. His gaze slowly lowered and Everly’s head tilted as he studied Bryn’s hardening cock. It twitched upwards until it was pointing at Everly and he offered Bryn a curious lift of his brows. “Can we have sex now?”

“Can andshouldare vastly different things,” Bryn said weakly, mentally scrambling and hanging on by his fingertips. For the life of him, Bryn couldn’t remember why he wasn’t fucking the sexy little halfling silly.

“Could is an option,” Everly replied as he stretched toward Bryn, offering his lips.

“Yes, it is.” Bryn didn’t care anymore. He growled as he kissed Everly hard, like he washis.He was pure magick—sweet and bright like sunshine. He made Bryn’s head spin as he was pushed back against the door. Everly jumped, his legs wrapping around Bryn’s waist.

“We shouldn’t be—” Bryn cut himself off, winding his tongue around Everly’s and sucking ravenously. His hands were in Everly’s hair and in the back of his boxers as they attacked each other’s lips.

Bryn wrenched his free, swearing at how easily he’d lost control only to find himself swept up again as Everly wiggled and lowered to his knees. “Please.” He pouted up at Bryn, rubbing a cheek against his bare thigh. “I want you to feel as special and as beautiful as I do.”

“Ev!” Bryn’s voice crumbled along with his resistance, completely under Everly’s spell.

“I’ve wanted this from the moment we met, when I first opened my eyes.” Everly sounded both awed and smug as he shared his confession, the words murmured through smiling lips as they glided up Bryn’s shaft. He swirled his tongue around the head before opening wide and taking Bryn deep into his throat.

Hard, silken, sucking pressure wrapped around Bryn’s cock and he heard angels. Although, it might have been his ears ringing because Everly was glorious. His head rocked back and forth at a steady, determined pace, making Bryn’s toes curl on the tile.

He was acting like a complete animal, but Bryn was in ecstasy and hopelessly in love as his fingers swept through Everly’s hair. And Everly didn’t look all that sweet or innocent as his tongue dragged up Bryn’s length. Or, whenever he took Bryn deep into his throat and gagged around every last inch with feral abandon.

“Gods, Ev! Oh, fuck!” He bit into a knuckle as Everly cupped and stroked, sending Bryn hurtling into the heavens as he shattered. The rush of joyful pleasure brought tears to his eyes and Bryn was in Annwn as Everly sucked every drop of cum from his shaft. He made the sweetest, sexiest sounds as he greedily licked Bryn clean and nuzzled his softening erection.

“My turn,” Bryn said as he yanked Everly to his feet and turned them. He lifted Everly onto the counter, pulling the belt free and ripping open his fly. A ragged growl tore from Bryn as he lapped at Everly’s hard-on. It was a sweet, slender mouthful, silky pre-cum making Bryn ravenous as he sucked. Everly didn’t need directions or convincing, he rode Bryn’s face and quickly came all over his tongue.

The golden, ethereal bliss lasted about as long as the clean, crispness of Everly’s cum, regret grabbing Bryn by the scruff. He set Everly down, pointing at the door. “Out.”

Everly turned and glided out, leaving Bryn. He shut the door, quietly locking it. He couldn’t risk Everly returning in the state he was in. The doorknob jiggled, startling Bryn and sending him fleeing for the shower. Bryn stepped in and under the water and his mood plummeted when he realized he needed backup and there was only one person he could really trust.

“Fuck. I’m going to have to be nicer to Nox.”

“Why was I a rabbit?” Everly wondered as he peered through the steam at his reflection. He stood on his tiptoes and wiped off the bathroom mirror, his hair dripping from his morning shower. He turned to inspect his bare backside, squinting and imagining a tail before turning and checking the top of his head for ears.

“Still just me,” he noted and gave his nose a wiggle. “Same little face.”

He shrugged and looked down, considering his petite frame. At an even 5 feet, he could still pass as a teenager from behind and he often felt like one when the twins, Nox, Nelson, and Fletcher towered over him. Thankfully, they never made Everly feel less valuable or like less of a man despite being more than a full foot shorter than everyone but Merlin.

“What’s that?” Everly spotted a ripple on his tummy and gasped as he went to the mirror for a closer look. The indent went across his stomach and was more pronounced when Everly sucked in and stiffened his core. “I have an ab!” he whispered in awe.
