Theo thought it over, then took his hand and crossed his middle and pointer finger. "Do this if it’s too much or tap my head. If I don't like something, I'll just tell you." He shrugged. "There, communication is settled."

"Okay. I suppose we can try." He smiled and leaned in. "Tie it on for me?"

"Of course." He kissed his forehead and moved the cylinder to his lips.

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Theo sat in Sebastian's lap, with his back pressed to his chest. He caressed his cheek and tapped the rose quartz cylinder firmly between his fangs. "Comfortable?" When Sebastain nodded, Theo lifted slightly and placed a light kiss on his nose. "I like this look on you." He moved Sebastian's hand into his pants. "Now touch me but be gentle."

Sebastian growled and massaged him over his underwear. His restraint was obvious in every touch.

Theo melted back into his chest and let little sighs fall from his lips. "Good. Keep going like that."

His closed his eyes as he got lost in the heat of Sebastian's palms through the fabric. He put his hand over Sebastian and guided his movements into a faster tempo.

Soon Sebastian's cock was hard on his lower back, and Theo smiled to himself. "You haven't even fully touched me yet and you're getting excited. What if your people knew how lustful their pristine prince was?"

Cool stone tapped his neck as Sebastian tried to bite him. When he realized he couldn't, he let out a muffled groan of frustration. Theo laughed, opening his eyes to meet his hungry gaze. "Sebastian," he said in a sing song voice. "Behave yourself. You're gagged for a reason."

Sebastian growled louder now. His chest vibrated against Theo's back and he wanted to press even closer into him. The heat of his breath puffed out around the gag in angry clouds in the winter air.

"Don't whine, or I’ll use my belt as a leash again" Theo scolded playfully. He tugged his pants and underwear down just enough that his erection and the top of his thighs were exposed. The cool air hitting his skin made him shiver. "I'll let you touch, but you're not biting."

Sebastian hooked an arm under his knees and tipped him back ever so slightly. He moved his other hand to Theo's backside and pressed two fingers against his entrance but didn't move. Instead, he purred and nuzzled into Theo's neck.

"Aren't you cute tonight? Fine. You can, but give me your hand first." He took two of Sebastian's fingers into his mouth and sucked. Every time he took them into the back of his throat, muffled moans came from behind Sebastian's gag. The fact that he could even partially tame Sebastian with these small acts ignited excitement in his chest. He moved his hand back to his hip. "If your claws come out and scratch me, you're never touching me again."

Theo stifled a moan as a finger slowly pressed into him. "I'm not fragile." He moaned louder as Sebastian steadily thrusted. "Use at least two."

Sebastian did as he was told and pressed in a second. He paused and looked at Theo skeptically as he wriggled in his lap.

"I can take two fingers. It's just been a while. Now keep going and move faster."

Sebastian's eye glinted and he plunged his fingers in and out roughly.

Theo was grateful for the wind drowning him out. Between his whines, cries, and whimpers, it would be clear to anyone who heard what they were doing.

The heat of Sebastian's embrace, the cool air licking the top of his thighs, and the steady thrust was intoxicating. He stroked himself fast, letting his head fall back onto Sebastian's shoulder.With every touch he craved more.Would taking a knot really be so difficult?

Desperately, Sebastian tried to bite him. He roughly pressed the cool gag to Theo's neck, chest, shoulder, and cheek. It wasn't logical, but he was driven entirely by an insatiable hunger. If the stone gag split under the pressure of his jaws a bloody mess would be left in the snow.

Theo knew it was twisted, but the danger only turned him on more. From being chased down, to the attempted bites and hungry growls, he reveled in it all. He tried to hold off his orgasm so he could enjoy it as long as possible, but it was useless. He came quick, his legs trembling.

Sebastian nuzzled into his neck and purred as the little aftershocks of his orgasm settled.

Theo looked down at himself and the mess he had gotten the top of his pants. "I'll have to change before we join the others."

He untied the gag and gently took it from his teeth. "I know you were a little hesitant to try it." Immediately lips crashed onto his. "Did you miss kissing me that much?" he asked with an exhausted laugh.

"I did. I know the gag was helpful, but I didn't like not kissing you."

He's so adorable it hurts."I'll have to thank Jacques."

"Please don't," Sebastian said, helping Theo pull up his pants. "He'll never let me live it down."

"Before we head back," Theo said, turning and straddling his lap. He put a hand on Sebastian's obvious arousal. "I can take care of this for you if you want. You seem calmer today and we have the gag so it feels less risky."

"You don't have to. I know knotting is off-putting." He took his hand away and sighed. "You already have to deal with what I look like."
