Christian stood and stared at the building in front of him which looks ugly .he sighed holding the hand of his butler,he walked in.upon getting inside,he looked around,it looks beautiful on the inside with the walls in perfect condition unlike how it looked on the outside,there were leather chairs which were occupied by different kinds of beings, mostly vampires who were either feeding directly from a human slave or drinking from a glass.This was Horace's den where there was no rule guiding the vampires or demons when it comes to feeding,a place where everyone is equal.some of them stared at the beautiful men stood hand in hand,they looked like a dominant and his submissive because while one exude great power and was looking around him fearlessly,the other kept looking down.christian turned and looked at his butler who kept his eyes glued to his shoes 'good' he thought and they walked into a room that looked like a psychic's.there were cards on the table and a young man with snowy white hair sat at the table.he gestured for them to sit on the chairs while smiling.once they were seated he said "well well, look what the cat dragged in.if it isn't king Conrad himself..." he paused looked at mason and said "and his difficult love"
christian sat back and looked at Horace and for a while,the two had there staring contest then Christian said "tell me Horace" he breathed "why would the cat drag me in?" he asked in a calm manner as one would about the weather.Horace didn't respond but instead his grin grew wider
"why? did the same cat get your tongue" christian asked raising a perfectly shaped brow
"fuck you"
"and you too" christian said smiling back at his friend, he whispered to Mason "pick a card".
Mason picked up a card and handed it to Horace,he looked at it and then dropped it on the table, looking at christian he said "it's the same , I see nothing but perhaps this time you'll let me read his palms" christian got up stretched his hands for mason and pulled him out of the room without uttering a word.
In the carriage on their way back,not being able to hold it in any longer mason spoke " I think you should let him read my palms once"
christian who sat crossed leg with his eyes closed smirked at his words "aren't you an eager one,you can't wait to have another man's hand on you,can you?" he opened his red eyes and stared daggers into mason forest green ones.mason cowered and looked away,since they were sitting opposite each other,there was no way he could escape his glare "that's not what I mean christian" he hesitated then said "he doesn't seem to be to read our fate from the cards and for all we know,your destined mate could be someone else"
christian nodded "you point being?"
"I just want to know"
"I see"
"I don't think you do"
"you think?"
"I know so damn it christian, you're not taking this seriously" mason rubbed his eyes suddenly feeling tired "please just once" he looked at his secret lover with pleading eyes.After a long silence when Mason thought he wasn't going to get a response, christian sighed and took Mason's hand,held it in his then looked him in the eyes and said "it's not going to happen" he pulled mason closer and sat him on his legs and kissed him.he pulled away after awhile and started planting kisses all over his neck, nimbling and biting softly he whispered into his neck "if you ever let another man touch you without my permission" he pulled his face to make look at him, christian smiled and said "I'll kill that man " mason got off him and sat back on his seat he looked out the window ' it's always the same' he thought "don't you have something to say to that?" christian voice dragged him out of his thought and he said " I'll be careful no other man touches me".
"good".
When they got back to the palace, the head maid who was always in charge whenever the butler wasn't around, came to welcome them. Bowing she said "your majesty,the countess westwood came to visit and is waiting to have lunch with you this afternoon sir". christian rolled his eyes and asked "is she the only one or she came with her uglies"
the head maid answered "yes milord,she along with your cousins and they're all waiting in the drawing room"
"Mason" he said and walked in with the others following behind.mason instructed the head and to ensure the visitors are not to disturb the king until lunch.He walked faster to keep up with the king long strides "mason?"
"yes mi'lord"
"stay out of those leeches sight until lunch"
"yes"
