“I don’t know his actual name,” Pierre started, letting out a squeak as Jessie wrenched him back in order to drive him into the concrete. “I just know he works for the council!”
“What?” Jessie huffed, standing Pierre up again.
“He works for the council; he’s one of those fancy magical engineer people. He’s the one who came up with the prototype but he likes to keep his hands clean. It’s why he hired me. Look, I can’t tell you anymore. He’s got me and the boys stalking your every move, okay. I bet he even knows you’re here threatening me. So, you gotta realize I can’t tell you more. If I do…” And that’s when Jessie saw why Pierre was so scared.What he meant when he said The Executive owns his ass.Jessie watched in real time as Pierre’s eyes rolled back in his head, red angry lines of magic racing up the backside of his eyeballs. The same red line raced upPierre’s skin, angry and flashing like a stoplight. Like the spell was etched into Pierre’s body—a magical contract. It was sharp lines that bit into Pierre’s flesh, hissing and sizzling as it tore him into chunks. Jessie jumped away just in time to avoid getting splashed as Pierre was ripped asunder. A red cloud of smoke rose off the forger’s body as every piece of him turned to ash.
Well…that’s not good.Only one other person that Jessie knew made magical contracts like that, and Knox’s didn’t look like that. Which meant the man pulling the puppet strings…this Executive… was not one for loose lips or ends. Whoever this council member was, they didn’t play with snitches.Damn.
Chapter Twenty-nine:
~Nikolai~
Gamewentoffwithouta hitch. Jessie ended up joining them 45 minutes into it, smiling and pretending like nothing was wrong, but Nikolai knew better. Katarina sensed it too, as the pair shared a knowing look, but said nothing. As the VIP box was as spacious as two living room couches smooshed within a rectangular patio, but this had a roof and air conditioning. It was nice, having a screen on one side and being able to see the field on the other. Cassie was on the field with Elliot, taking photos from the shoulders of Tens, the field healer. Elliot was leading the circus, and it was a fantastic sight. Nikolai really looked up to Elliot for a lot of their growing up, as he always seemed to have a level head on his shoulders. Even during hard times, Elliot never let it stop him and Nikolai admired that. It was nice seeing Elliot living his dream.
Jessie, however…
Nikolai could tell Jessie was on high alert. He was twitchy and kept glancing around, which wasn’t like the boss. Then, a bird, as innocent as they could, tried to take off one of the ridges of the VIP box, fucked up, and flew directly into the window. Jessie jerked backward. Nikolai saw his boyfriend’s eyes swirl in his skull and that’s when he decided they needed to intervene. Either it was the heat or the “phone call” he made, either way, it didn’t bode well. Especially as Jessie started huffing and grunting like he were struggling with a rock giant sitting on his chest.Nikolai slid up beside Titan and whispered, “Jessie’s got a knot problem Katarina and I are going to address real quick.”
“Good on ya,” Titan nodded with a soft, acknowledging snort that made his nose ring bounce.
Katarina eyed him quietly as he put the snoozing Isabella into Lailee’s arms and then whisked her out of her seat. Jessie was the last to realize and nearly spoiled their stealthy escape with a throat sound as Nikolai hoisted him to his hooves. The three slunk out of the VIP box, following the back staircase down, away from the stadium seats. They ended up in one of the many concrete hallways that framed the stadium. Normally staff don’t allow visitors back there, as it’s where most of the cleaning supplies, storage, and other backup equipment was stored. However, if there was anything Nikolai knew well was people tended not to question a thing if one walks confidently.Or walked with a pissed off face.Of which Nikolai and Katarina had in spades.Plus, probably didn’t hurt Jessie looked like Elliot.
Nikolai found the first doorway off from the stairs and burst into a family bathroom. Katarina walked Jessie inside before the mechanic locked the door.
“Okay, what’s—mmmhfhm,” Katarina’s question was cut off by the sudden kiss that was thrown at her by Jessie. He walked her into the adjacent wall, pinning her with his body. Hands all over her sides till he’d tugged up her dress.
“Dragon’s fucking breath, you in this dress will be the death of me,” Jessie panted before twisting and extending a hand to Nikolai. “And you!”
“What? I’m not even showing my ankles?” Nikolai snickered.
“Get over here and fuck me before I stomp your ass,” Jessie snarled, reaching across the bathroom to snatch the bugbear by the belt loop. Nik let out a surprised yelp that was swallowed by a heavy kiss by Jessie. He was dizzy from how fast their lips were ripped apart and he was back to shoving his tongue into Katarina’s mouth. Her soft moans echoed off the walls. Jessie was lost to his heat, hands bunching up her dress and ass grinding back against Nikolai.
I’m going to have to be the reasonable one here, I see.He chuckled to himself as he held onto Jessie’s dancing hips. Holding his boyfriend firmly against his lap, he pressed a kiss to the side of his minotaur’s cheek. When he caught Katarina, she was full fangs out, gulping down their auras eagerly. Her ruby eyes were glowing like stop lights despite how needy they wanted the boys togo-go-go.Nikolai reached around Jessie to undo his belt and release his heavy cock from its restraints. The second he did, Katarina pulled from Jessie’s lips and dropped to her knees. Nikolai would have to kiss those knees of hers later as Jessie’s hips bucked forward. Her lipstick stayed firm by some witchcraft.
Between the sound of Katarina happily choking on Jessie’s cock, Jessie panting their praise, and the loud applause overhead, Nikolai couldn't hear a single thought in his head.Maybe I’m lost to it too?He pushed Jessie’s pants down off his thick hips and groaned when Jessie immediate pressed his ass flat against Nikolai’s pants.
“Patience, big guy,” Nikolai laughed. “We’re working with little to no supplies—”
Only to be corrected by a tiny, travel size lube bottle being chucked at him from Katarina’s bra. She popped off Jessie with a lewd smack. Swiping a hand across her mouth, lips still as clean and ruby, she laughed, “Always gotta be prepared.”
Seriously how is she doing that?
“You evil genius,” Jessie panted, “up on your feet, baby girl, you’re getting paiddouble timefor that kind of ingenuity!”
Nikolai rolled his eye, wanting to spank both of them but resisting.Why are you both so ridiculous?Why did he love seeing Katarina’s face flush as Jessie hoisted her up against the wall, her legs daintily draped over his forearms. Nikolai winked at her from behind the massive boulder of a man while covering his fingers in slick. The second he pressed his fingers against Jessie’s ass, he felt all the tension melt. Jessie’s face fell into the crook of Katarina’s neck, his hips helplessly thrusting into her before bucking back to press Nikolai’s digits as deep as he could getthem. Nikolai let Jessie decide the pace when it came to stretching, as they were working in less than favorable conditions. Family bathrooms weren’t known for having elbow room, even in a massive stadium. And seeing as there was a brick wall shaped minotaur, a bulky bugbear, and a succubus stuffed into the cube room between the toilet and sink…it was what it was.
So, if Jessie wants to wince when he sits down for the next two days, that’s on his ass…literally.
Nikolai could kiss it better or he could tease Jessie about it; probably both would happen.
He smiled as Jessie mewled, “Fuck, Nik, please.”
“Tell Daddy what you need,” Nikolai purred playfully.
Jessie laughed, picking his head up long enough to throw a wink over his shoulder. “Keep it up, I’ll call you Daddy in the shop.”
Nik scowled, “I’ll choke you.”
“Harder, Daddy,” Jessie cackled only to groan as Nik grabbed a horn and tugged. Jessie bucked hard forward. Katarina gasped for air.
