“Well, well, well,” Emilio said, his voice heavy with shock. “Who would have ever guessed Angel would be our dominant? Victor would be broken hearted.”
“You’re going to suck my cock, pet,” Jasper whispered, intentionally using Malachi’s nickname for him. “Stay hidden away as long as you need to but you have to submit to me.”
“Jasper,” he gasped.
“I’m Angel,” was the firm response.
Justice felt Jasper push firmly at his shoulders, forcing him lower and lower until he was head down and ass up. It didn’t feel right but it didn’t exactly feel wrong, the darkness kept him calm and settled.
“Relax,” he heard Angel growl as strong hands held his shoulders in a tight grasp, keeping him immobile. He was confused as to why until he felt a familiar nudging against his puckered hole. Shock urged him to try and escape, wiggle away from the probing object, but Jasper held his shoulders and another hand snaked around his waist, holding him in position.
“Easy, pet,” Justice murmured as his fingers flexed into Justice’s tense shoulders. “It’s just a toy. Relax and open up for Emilio,” he coaxed softly.
Justice took a deep breath, hoping the sweet air would give him some much needed strength and courage but, instead, found it stolen from him as the large toy pushed inside. A startled gasp allowed Jasper to push his cock inside his mouth…both of them breeching him simultaneously.
He gasped, knowing he couldn’t continue. He could survive anything for Malachi. Bringing Jasper into this, it was wrong. The boy was clearly in some kind of zone right now, probably something Nicholas or Victor had taught him, but when it was over, if they lived and were allowed to return home, this would haunt the boy so much longer than the time it would take to film the stupid video.
He pulled his head off Jasper and started to argue, but Emilio silenced him with one word.
“Enough!” He felt the toy slide out and Jasper immediately pulled away, his eyes suspiciously damp, his pulse thundering a warning.
Emilio stumbled back, knocking one of the cameras over in his haste. “Just…enough. Get dressed.”
“Leave Jasper out of this, just use me,” Justice pleaded. “I promise I’ll do anything the fuck you want me to on that video, just don’t make him do it.” He nodded toward Jasper. The kid still didn’t look like he was flying with a full tank.
“No video. Get dressed. I’m finished.” The man turned and walked out the door, leaving them alone to deal with their failure.
When he left the room, Jasper looked him in the eye. “I’m sorry, Justice. I’d hoped Emilio would not make any sexual requests and if he did, I’d hoped it would only be to me.” He smiled sadly. “I guess you’re just too damned pretty for your own good, eh? Are you okay?” he asked seriously. “Tell me you are okay. Malachi will kill me if I’ve fucked you up.”
Justice snorted. “Fucked me up? Hell, Jasper, you almost fucked me!” He started shaking his head, not angry with Jasper, but angry with every other damned aspect about the situation. He was mad that he’d trusted Jasper to have a plan that would lead to them finding Nicholas. He was mad at himself for failing the man he loved. He was really fucking mad at Emilio for acting like he was going to help them and then toss them aside like lives didn’t really depend on Nicholas getting a one-way ticket to hell.
“I wouldn’t have done that,” he answered. “I couldn’t have done that. I…I thought he was different. Hell, I know he’s different. I guess I miscalculated the possibility that a video might be used as leverage in his world.”
They were getting dressed as they talked, their shoulders hunched over in defeat. “What’s next? Do we have a sucky back-up plan in case your sucky original plan failed?”
“Nope.”
Nope? Perfect. “So we are just going back, balls tucked up inside of us?
“No. We’re going to get Nicholas. That was our plan, right?”
“Uhhhhh, yea, that was the plan but I’m pretty sure we just tanked with the Emilio connection. He just kicked our asses to the curb, Goldilocks.”
Well, hell…there was the Jasper smirk that came out to play when Justice had seen him go all dominant on Susannah. What was he missing?
“No, Goldie Jr., he didn’t kick our asses to the curb. He finally did what I thought he would do all along. He’s going to give us the address…trust me on this.” He turned to walk out of the room and then added, “Just keep your mouth shut…if that’s even possible.”
Chapter 22
They found him in the study, the same room where they had pled their case to him earlier, only to be convinced he was just as callous as the others. He was drinking a small glass of some kind of brandy, staring out a window into the darkness. His eyes were empty.
“You asked me why I dothis? I do it because I have to.” He tossed back the remainder in the glass and threw it into the fireplace. The sound of shattering glass caused both Jasper and Justice to jump. “I am looking for someone. I lost him, years ago, to this disgusting world. When local authorities couldn’t help me, I decided I would find him on my own. I had wealth.” He ran his fingers through his hair. “I was arrogantly cocky, thought I could save the fucking world and I can’t even save the man I love.”
The look of utter despair on Emilio’s face was breathtaking. His eyes lowered in shame and his chest heaved beneath the heavy weight he was obviously being forced to accept.
“Tonight? Tonight I almost proved that I was just as filthy and vile as they are. I almost used two boys to try and get what I wanted. My Bronx wouldn’t want me to do that. He would be ashamed of the things I’ve done…all in the name of his rescue.”
“How long missing?” Jasper asked. His voice was calm, but his eyes spoke volumes to what he was thinking.One didn’t last long in this world. You lost your allure with age and abuse.
