“What are you gonna do about it?” Lorenzo asked bringing me back. “And, did you know Sato was planning on doing that? Marrying you two right there like that? It was nuts!”

“If I knew what he was planning, you think I would have gone there like that?”

“I don’t know. For a moment there you did seem pretty into it,” Lorenzo joked.

“Fuck no! That was a complete mind fuck what he did.”

“Then, I don’t get it. Why’d you go through with it? Why didn’t you just stop it?”

That was a good question. Why didn’t I? And that was when I remembered the look in Kuroi’s eyes.

“I did it because our pack needed it,” I lied.

Lorenzo threw his head back in admiration.

“You’re a bigger man than me, Dante,” my little brother said with a snort.

“And don’t you fuckin’ forget it,” I joked.

“So, what are you gonna do now. You can’t, like, live with him or anything, can you? He already tried to kill you once.”

That was a good question. The living arrangements weren’t something that Sato and I discussed. When I thought I was marrying Yuki, of course I imagined us living together. That would have been one of the benefits of the marriage. But now… shit.

What would living with Kuroi even be like? If he had tried to kill me, the fact that he failed would mean he would try again. How long could I sleep with one eye open?

And, what was with him wearing that dress? Yeah, he looked as hot as fuck in it. But if I was marrying a man, shouldn’t he act like a man? I mean, having sex with a man is one thing.Guys have things that women don’t. But, weren’t men supposed to act like men?

Goddamn did he look hot in that dress, though. As male brides go, I must have had the hottest one to ever live. Unwrapping that gift would be the highlight of my life. I got hard just thinking about it.

“This is a marriage of convenience,” I told Lorenzo. “The whole point of it is to show that our two organizations are one. Living together would be the point.”

“Wow! My big brother just married a man,” Lorenzo said with a mind-altered chuckle.

“Don’t think that will stop me from kicking your ass if I have to,” I said seriously.

“Believe me, it doesn’t. If you’re willing to do to that, what other crazy shit would you be willing to do? Granted, the man you married is likely to kill you in your sleep before the cock crows. But still.”

“Don’t you worry about me. I can take care of myself. The day I let some crazy twink come between me and what I want would be a cold day in hell.”

“Twink?” Lorenzo asked surprised.

“That’s what you call guys like Kuroi, right? I mean, that’s what I’ve heard.”

Lorenzo looked at me suspiciously. Shit! I had been married to Kuroi for one day and I was already slipping up. Maybe us living together would be too much. I had to rethink this.

Marriage was one thing. Hell, back in the old days, royalty would marry their cousins. But that didn’t mean they lived together.

Yeah, that was what I was gonna do. I had already married him. There was nothing I could do about that. But I wouldn’t be living with him. Not today. Not ever.

And if Sato ever asked why, I was going tell him because his slippery crow demon ass tricked me into marriage. My family’s humiliation wasn’t going further than that.

So, that was it. Kuroi, no matter what, would never move into my place. Ever. It was decided.

Kuroi

What did a boy wear on the day he moved into his husband’s house? So many options. Going through my closet, it was hard to choose.
