Page 58 of Thanatos' Craving

“You have no bond!” Thanatos roared. He leapt over the couch and put his hands around Hypnos’ neck.

“It’s a friendship bond!” Hypnos said through the choke hold.

“Thanatos!” I screamed back and pull on his robe. “Please stop or we can’t watch the movie! I’ll just go to bed! All alone and sad! Please don’t make me sad! I wanted to cuddle!”

The cuddling caught his attention, as delicate feathers, plucked from Hypnos’ wings, gracefully drifted down amidst the rough housing between brothers.

“Cuddle?” Thanatos eyed me through his hood.

“I never got to cuddle during the movie.” Hypnos pouted.

Thanatos growled at his brother and punched him in the face.

Ouchie.

Thanatos removed himself from the couch and let his brother stand. Hypnos brushed off his white silk pajama set and gave a wide girth around his brother.

Hypnos stared at me, looking me up and down. “How dare you watch our marathon?”

I gave him an apologetic smile and shrugged my shoulders. I can only win so many battles. Getting Hypnos out of here, and not beat up, was the only option right now. I really didn’t want to hurt his feelings.

“Hypnos, I’m sorr–”

“Dobby dies.”

My eyes widen and I gasp. “No! You bastard!”

Hypnos laughed and darted down the hallway. I went to run after him, but Thanatos grabbed me with his arms and wrapped them around me.

“I’m going to kill him, I’m going to make him eat the nightshade, that dirty, lowlife, that stupid littl—”

Thanatos burst into laughter. It rings into my ears until I forget entirely what I was even mad about.

The God of Death was laughing.

The vibrations ran down my back, my nipples pebbled through my shirt as I heard his deep voice echoing in my ear. Why does his laughter have to sound so sexy?

Thanatos’ laughter subsided. “I believe we are to go cuddle now? Correct?”

Chapter Twenty

Juniper

Thanatos had a boner.

It was quite an impressive one from what I could tell, and he was making it extremely difficult to pay attention to anything else.

We had the movie playing as nothing but background noise. I don’t think he was paying attention to it either. All I feel is his wing and arm around me. Our breathing is nearly in sync with one another, and I swear I could feel those eyes burning the side of my face.

He shifted the pillow from his lap to his side.

Thanatos is trying to hide his erection, but it's not working. He’s trying to play it cool, casual, but he is failing miserably.

I find it cute.

Thanatos reminded me of one of the newbies at Fuzzy Bunnies. Some big hot shots bring in the new guys who have never been to a strip club. They bring in one of the interns, the bottom of the pack, who desperately wants to fit in and would do anything to do so, even if it means cheating on the Mrs.

The poor interns try to hide their erections at first, but you know, erections are just part of nature. Men get aroused, sometimes at the most inappropriate times. It’s just the way the blood flows to keep the dick working.
