Page 68 of Two Thousand Shadows

The vampire said nothing for several seconds while Leo focused on pouring the shampoo into the palm of his hand and closing the cap. In fact, Junjie didn’t speak until Leo turned him to face the spray and began massaging the soap through his hair.

“We saw Trin tonight.”

“I’m gonna take a wild guess and say he’s not dead yet.”

“No.”

He told a crazy tale of fighting elves, a violent thunderstorm followed by more elves, being rescued by a good elf, a flock of fairies, and some gnomes. They’d gone inside a tree to meet an underground fae resistance force.

By the time Junjie was done, Leo was rinsing the conditioner from his hair.

“My heart hurts for Rei,” Junjie murmured, placing his hand on his chest. “I know he worries about his people, regardless of his words and nonchalant attitude. But I believe he also wants to remain here with Yichen. He’s created a boundary that others keep hammering against. It will weaken soon if we don’t resolve this problem, and Rei might cave to their demands.”

“He’ll return to the fae realm out of duty, and Yichen will follow him,” Leo continued.

“They’ll be miserable there. I know it. I don’t need my gift to see it.”

Leo picked up a cake of rich-smelling soap that was silky to the touch. He had a sneaking suspicion someone in the Zhang clan had made it. This was far too fine to be found in any grocery or bath store. He got his hands soapy and put the cake aside. He ran slick fingers over Junjie’s chest, across tense shoulders, and down over flat abs.

“Then we’ll have to kill Jiang Chong and that elf Trin before anyone can brainwash Rei into making such a terrible decision.”

Junjie opened his mouth, but Leo was afraid he was going to argue, so Leo slid his soapy hands south and grasped Junjie’ssemi-erect cock. The vampire’s words morphed into a long moan of pleasure.Bastet, I could listen to that sound all fucking night.

“Leo,” Junjie choked out. Strong hands grabbed his ass cheeks and dug in, massaging muscles and starting an ache deep inside him. A horny voice in Leo’s head begged for him to just stick his ass in the air and demand Junjie rail him straight into oblivion with his enormous cock.

But this evening’s panic attack proved the vampire wasn’t some quick fuck and be gone by dawn. No, Junjie was special. They were going slow, even if it killed him. It was the only way to give them time to figure this out.

Plus, he might want to savor all the ways he could take Junjie apart.

“What’s wrong, Jun-Jun? Want me to help you forget for a bit?”

Junjie shook his head. “I want us to come so hard we forget our own names.”

“That can be arranged.”

Leo shoved Junjie against the wall and grabbed the bottle of conditioner. “Bend your legs. You’re too tall.” The cat shifter squeezed a very healthy amount of the thick, creamy liquid into his palm.

When he turned back, he found Junjie with his legs spread and arms outstretched, ready to pull him in close. That beautiful cock had also swelled thick and erect, begging for his touch.

Leo stepped between his powerful thighs and grasped his dick, smearing the conditioner on the member as he slowly stroked him.

“Leo,” Junjie said in a half groan, half whine.

He huffed a laugh at the vampire’s impatience, but he couldn’t blame him. His own dick ached with need, demanding attention. Another small step forward allowed him to rub hiscock alongside Junjie’s. He adjusted his grip and added his other hand, stroking them together.

The first touch of their cocks together had Leo’s eyes rolling into his head. The slick slide combined with the heat and hardness of Junjie’s dick was heaven. The hair on Junjie’s legs brushed his own, adding an enticing roughness to the mix. Large hands swept over Leo’s body in the most wonderful caress that left him purring deep in his throat.

The falling water from the shower and the rising steam gave the feeling of being in another world, away from the rest of the clan. All their troubles disappeared.

Junjie dipped his head and captured Leo’s mouth in a drugging kiss. His hips thrust upward, moving his cock in Leo’s hands while his tongue plunged in and out, matching the rhythm and threatening to destroy what remained of Leo’s self-control.

And then the vampire upped the ante.

“More,” Junjie growled. He placed one hand on the back of Leo’s thigh and the other under his ass, allowing him to pull Leo in even closer. Leo had no choice but to brace his hands on the wall behind Junjie. Their cocks caught between their bodies, Junjie thrust again and again, the sensation sending toe-curling shockwaves throughout his body. Leo shifted his hips in time with Junjie, getting lost in their slick skin and astounding heat.

Junjie broke off the kiss and dragged his lips along Leo’s jaw to his vulnerable throat. Teeth grazed, the sharp points of his fangs causing goose bumps to break out across his arms. A needy whimper broke from Leo, and he didn’t fucking care. Junjie’s last bite had been electric, and he wanted that now.

“I want to fuck you,” Junjie snarled between clenched teeth. He hiked Leo’s leg up, so it nearly rested on his hip. His other fingers dug into his ass, spreading his cheeks and exposing his greedy hole. “Need to stretch and fuck you. Possess every bit ofyou.” With each word he spoke, his fangs scraped skin, teasing him as they continued to thrust frantically.
