THE AFTERMATH

Telos came backto consciousness facing down on the bed, with cum drying under his stomach and his entire body bare.

For a moment, he drifted. He felt good. Loose. Possibly the most relaxed he’d been in several years.

Then he noticed a mild ache between his legs. He noticed wetness, too. Down the back of his balls, and between his asscheeks. When he tightened his abdomen, wet warmth leaked out of his hole.

It couldn’t be anythingbutcum.

Who—?

He remembered, then, the heavy, muscular body on top of his, thick fingers in his hair and a low voice in his ear.

Mav biting his neck, pushing inside him, his cock bigger than anything Telos had ever taken.

“Holy fuck!” Telos scrambled to sit up, his heart pounding. “Fuck, fuck—”

He turned. Mav was sitting against the headboard of the other bed, fully dressed, doing something on his phone.

Telos froze.Fuck.

Mav knew. Oh, gods, Mav knew his secret. Not all of it, but a large part of it.

Mav looked up. Before their eyes could meet, Telos turned away, scrubbing the cum off his stomach. His face scorched. How much of everything had he just fucked up?

Behind him, Mav cleared his throat. “Hey.”

Telos all but leaped off the bed, pretending to sniff disdainfully. He straightened his shoulders and strode into the attached bathroom, shutting the door behind himself.

He wasn’t going to jerk off to that memory here. Wasn’t going to give Mav more ammunition.

He ran the water hot and scrubbed himself down with a washcloth, until his skin turned pink and no one could possibly smell Mav on him.

But he couldn’t resist slipping his fingers between his cheeks, probing himself to find that he was still loose where Mav had been. He was still completely wet inside, and cum came out with his fingers when he withdrew them.

How long had Mav knotted him? Telos hoped he’d spent some time in there.

Then he blushed, and felt surprise flickering at the back of his mind.

Ah, fuck.He buried his face in his hands. How muchmorehad Mav found out?

How long could they go with this elephant crashing through every room?

A throat cleared behind the shower curtain.

Telos jumped and nearly slipped. “What the hell! I closed the bathroom doorfor a reason.”

“We should probably talk,” Mav said slowly.

Telos panicked. “There’s nothing to talk about.”

“I don’t want this to mess up communications between us, and jeopardize the mission.”

“I won’t let it.”

But the shadow came closer. Large fingers grasped the edge of the shower curtain. Mav pulled the curtain aside, his gaze flicking down for a second, before locking on Telos’ face.

Telos gritted his teeth, his skin prickling. Mav couldn’t possibly have been checking him out. “I’ve scratched my itch. We can pretend nothing happened.”
