A King to be Feared by Brea Alepoú

“Come on, Gin,”Mazki said.

He held a suitcase in his hand as they headed to their room. Gin was finally moving into their room.

“Careful with that,” Gin chastised.

Mazki snickered at Kail, who was carrying two coffin-shaped suitcases.

“You have too much shit,” Kail grumbled as he nearly tripped.

Gin shrugged. “I don’t have shit. Everything is necessary and important.”

Mazki rolled his eyes and thought he was excessive, but Gin was on another level. Even Alfrik was carrying a duffle bag. The only ones who had their hands free were Adom, Seth, and Titos.

“I’m not sure all this will fit,” Kail joked.

“It will. We just have to get rid of some of your sneakers,” Mazki said.

“Touch them and you will lose a hand,” Kail growled out.

“Be nice, guys,” Titos said, but his voice was laced with laughter that made Mazki’s heart skip a beat or two. “Gin, all your things will fit.”

“But to make sure we don’t run into any issues, I will get with Ginger about having our closet enlarged along with the bathroom. The room next door isn’t being used. I’m sure it’s possible to have the walls knocked down and converted into a closet,” Adom said.

Mazki refrained from adding they also needed to make room for any more keepers that Titos might add. Mazki walked into the large closet and gently sat Gin’s bag down in his own cleared-out spot. The amount of stuff he had, he’d easily need more room. The rest of them barely had anything. They’d come to the territory with nothing. Literally arrived stark naked—well, except Kail, and Mazki had found a skirt and shirt in the truck they’d stolen. That, of course, had changed since they’d been in the house. Gavin kept their closet stacked with their personal taste in clothes.

“Will that be enough space for now?” Titos asked.

Everyone crowded into the closet, awaiting Gin’s reply. When Alfrik moved in, he’d literally brought one bag. Mazki had referred to it as his “bear necessities.”

“I can make it work,” Gin said.

Mazki knocked shoulders with him. “Now the fun part.”

Gin smirked at him and pulled Mazki close to him. His gold eyes twinkled. He wasn’t shy in the least; he’d come into their bonding with the understanding that they were all together. Not that Titos required them to be, but it was strange—it felt right to be with each other in some type of way, even if it was just friendship.

“If I remember correctly, someone was supposed to be getting a punishment,” Gin teased.

Mazki pulled back from the embrace.

Mazki: Ass.

Gin: You know you’re looking forward to it.

Adom’s hand landed on Mazki’s shoulder, and he was pulled back against the man’s large chest. Mazki was instantly hyperaware.

“I apologized already,” Mazki said.

Titos appeared before him and placed the barest of kisses against his lips. “True, but I don’t think you learned your lesson.”

Warmth spread in the pit of Mazki’s stomach. How was he supposed to state his case when Titos looked at him with desire-filled eyes?

“Everyone to bed,” Titos demanded.

A heady feeling coursed through the bond and pulled a groan from Mazki. Every single one of them looked at Titos. He just smiled at them as if he hadn’t just stroked along the bonds inside of him.

Adom steered Mazki out of the closet. “I hope you’re ready, boy.”

Mazki had no idea what the man had planned, but he wasn’t going to lie to himself and say he wasn’t excited about it. They made their way to the bedroom, the closet completely forgotten. Mazki was hyperaware of everyone around him. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt and made sure he had a view of everyone. As everyone each shed their clothes, the air in the room grew taut with sexual tension.

Gin was fit and lean, but what really caught Mazki’s eyes were the black spiked barbells through his dusky-colored nipples. Gin flicked on, and Mazki groaned as if he’d felt it himself. He’d always wanted them and had even had his nipples pierced at one time, but every time he burned and was reborn in ashes, they’d be gone. He’d long ago given up on having them. It just wasn’t worth the hassle, but now that one of Titos’s keepers had them, he couldn’t wait to play with them.

Titos seemed to have noticed Gin’s nipples as well. He was already stark naked and sauntered over to Gin. Mazki’s breathing picked up as he watched them together. This was always the case when they were all together. No matter which keeper was physically with Titos, they all felt the pleasure.

Adom’s rough hands pulled on Mazki’s hips, drawing his attention away from Gin and Titos for a moment. The older-looking man turned him around and took his mouth in a demanding kiss. Mazki melted instantly, raising his arms around Adom’s shoulders, and lost himself in the kiss. Adom’s hand skirted down his body and cupped his ass, pulling a groan from Mazki before he broke the kiss.

“Lay down, boy,” Adom said.

Mazki bit his lip every time Adom called him boy; it made his stomach twist in delight. He moved to the bed without another thought and lay down on his back. Adom smiled down at him as his warm hand wrapped around Mazki’s stiffening cock and stroked it to full hardness.

Mazki groaned as he was stroked, but all too quickly, Adom was letting him go.

“Hey, why did you stop,” Mazki whimpered.

“We are just getting started,” Adom said.

It had an eerie tone to it, but Mazki was already drowning in need. He watched, slightly confused, as Adom slipped a cock ring on Mazki. He gently tugged each ball through the silicone ring as well. It was a snug fit, but it wasn’t uncomfortable at all. Adom stood Mazki back up.

“Ready?” Titos asked.

Mazki’s eyes were instantly drawn to his master. His breath caught in his chest as he stared down at him. He was about to get a blowjob—he’d call that a win. Especially because Titos was first.

“I, um, yes, hundred percent ready,” Mazki said.

The warm smile that graced Titos had Mazki’s love burrowing through him at neck-breaking speed. Titos’s hand tentatively wrapped around Mazki’s cock, giving it the lightest strokes before his pink tongue circled his sensitive head. Mazki groaned, not willing to miss a single moment of Titos sucking him off.

Green eyes stared up at him as Titos slowly took his cock into his mouth. Wet warmth had Mazki’s toes curling. He clenched and unclenched his hand to keep himself from thrusting forward and shoving his cock down his master’s throat.

Titos sucked on Mazki’s sensitive head, drawing moans and whimpers from him. His breath sawed in and out of his lungs as he stayed still for Titos to the best of his ability. Titos’s thick lashes batted up at him as he mouthed down his cock to his balls.

“Uh, yes,” Mazki moaned out as Titos sucked and lapped at his scrotum. A gold strand of hair came into view before Mazki knew what was happening as Gin started to lick Mazki’s cock.

Mazki’s mouth dropped open as Gin and Titos made out with his cock in between their mouths. It was the hottest thing he’d ever seen in his entire life. Mazki couldn’t fight it any longer—the moment Gin’s mouth wrapped around his cock, he bucked forward, and his fingers went into Titos’s hair, but before he could do anything, everything came to a screeching halt as he was pulled away.

“I don’t think so,” Adom said.

His thick arms wound around Mazki and pulled him away from both Titos and Gin.

“No,” Mazki whined from the loss of their hot mouths.

Adom let out a deep chuckle. “This is a punishment, remember.”

Mazki growled in frustration. “More like torture.”

It had felt so good, and Adom had to pull him away. Adom sat down and pulled Mazki to his lap. Everyone made their way to the bed. Mazki’s breathing was labored, and he thought Gin and Titos would make their way back to him, but they stayed back at the end of the bed near Alfrik. Instead, Kail was the one to come to Mazki. He took Mazki by surprise, kissing him harshly, no doubt bruising his lips in the process. Mazki moaned, the small bite of pain welcomed.

Kail winked at him as he lowered himself in between Mazki’s spread legs. He wasn’t like Titos and Gin with their teasing touches. Kail took all of Mazki’s cock to the back of his throat in one gulp. Mazki moaned loudly as tight, wet heat surrounded his cock. He was transfixed on watching Kail deep-throat his cock, unable to look away until he heard the sultry moans that could only be Titos.

Gin’s hand was wrapped around Titos’s length, just barely out of reach to Mazki. He whimpered as he tried to move closer to Titos. Adom’s arms tightened around him, holding him hostage. Gin had the audacity to wink at him.

Titos’s head fell back on his shoulders, and Gin kissed and lapped up Titos’s neck, pulling moans that had Mazki’s body reacting instantly. His cock throbbed as Kail swallowed around his hard length.

“Please,” Mazki moaned out. He wasn’t sure what he was begging for. If it was to come or touch Titos. Although the latter had more appeal to him than anything, Mazki had been teased over and over without so much an ounce of relief.

Gin’s black-painted nails came into view as he offered Mazki’s his precome-covered fingers. Mazki didn’t hesitate as he slightly leaned forward as much as Adom allowed and hungrily licked Gin’s fingers clean.

Adom blew a breath over the shell of Mazki’s ear, and he let out a cry as his hips lifted just a little and he pushed his cock further down Kail’s throat. He glanced down and sucked in a sharp breath as he was met with Kail’s deep blue eyes.

Kail: I bet you want to come. Fill my mouth.

Mazki licked his lips, transfixed. He’d avoided looking down after the first time; the need to come only seemed to increase every time he did. He was panting, and words were the last thing on his mind.

Kail: Mmm, you taste so good.

Kail tongued Mazki’s slit, making shock waves of pleasure crash through him. Mazki screwed his eyes shut and moaned long and hard.

Adom’s hairy chest rubbed against his back, making Mazki squirm more from so many sensory overloads. “Take your punishment, boy,” Adom said against Mazki’s ear.

Mazki whimpered. Was this really a punishment? He was in the high of his life, but the fact he couldn’t come was driving him slightly insane. He wanted them to never stop, but he wanted to climax.

“Be a good boy,” Adom growled against Mazki’s ear.

A shiver worked its way down his spine as air sawed in and out of his lungs. His legs trembled as Kail continued to pleasure him with his warm mouth. Titos moaned again, and Mazki knew he was only further torturing himself, but his imagination wasn’t better. All of his senses were being attacked.

He turned his head and groaned at the sight before him. Alfrik was making out with Titos, and his huge hand engulfed Titos’s cock. The size difference alone had Mazki squirming even harder against Adom’s hold. Fire churned in his stomach—he’d just set fire to the pesky ring, and then he’d come so fucking hard.

Kail moaned, and it sent vibrations straight to Mazki’s balls.

“Fuck,” he groaned out. His gaze went fuzzy for a second as pure, undiluted ecstasy chased the fire back. He sucked in a breath, trying to center himself, but Kail moaned again and again around Mazki’s sensitive cock.

He forced his eyes open and knew instantly it had been a mistake. Seth had Kail’s ass up, and his face was firmly between the toned globes. His eyes were closed, and he growled as he ate Kail’s ass as if he was a starved man and Kail’s hole was the last supper.

Kail’s throat tightened around Mazki’s cock, pulling more moans from him. Titos’s cries mingled with Mazki’s own, and he couldn’t fight it—he glanced over to them. Gin’s thick cock slipped inside of Titos alongside Alfrik’s monster cock. Mazki choked on his tongue, trying to swallow the drool before it dripped down his chin. His own hole clenched. He knew Titos felt full, and fuck he wished it was him inside of Titos along with Alfrik.

Gin’s head fell back on his shoulders as he bottomed out. His hands tightened on Titos’s hips. His golden eyes glanced over to Mazki, and they locked gazes for what felt like an eternity. A smirk appeared on Gin’s face as he sent the sensations through the bond of what he was feeling.

Mazki shouted as unimaginable pleasure lit up inside of him. He didn’t even know they could do that. He could feel how tight Titos was and how hard Alfrik felt pressed against Gin’s cock. Mazki’s entire body started to shake as he was now hit even mentally.

Mazki whimpered as he moved his hips against Adom. Even as Kail released his cock, there was no relief to the steady need to come that assaulted him. Kail moaned, and his warm breath tickled along Mazki’s balls, driving him crazy in a new way.

Mazki: No more.

“Have you learned your lesson yet? To not make us all worry like that ever again?” Adom asked as he pinched and rolled Mazki’s nipples.

Mazki’s mouth opened and closed, but no words were ever uttered. He moaned and bucked his hips slightly as he lost himself in the sounds and sights before him. A sharp pain to his earlobe had Mazki gasping and sucking in air all too quickly.

“Make sure you’re breathing,” Adom said. He placed the barest of kisses on Mazki’s ear. “Don’t want you missing out on anything.”

Mazki hadn’t even noticed he was holding his breath. He exhaled a shaky breath as he tried to find some ground. But there was none. Adom moved Mazki a little and spread him even more, just enough to give Kail access. His fingers circled around Mazki’s hole, already covered in oil.

A sultry moan left him as Kail pushed past the first ring of muscle. Yes, he needed it. Kail worked Mazki open to the point he easily slid two fingers in. Mazki let out a cry as Kail stroked against his prostate. But he wasn’t the only one moaning. Kail let out his own as Seth slid into him.

Mazki whimpered from the loss as Kail’s fingers withdrew from him. It was very little relief from the constant pressure on him. Seth pulled Kail to him and took his mouth in a dominating kiss as he thrust into him. He pulled Kail’s hair free of the bun, and it cascaded down around the man. The sight stole Mazki’s breath.

“You didn’t answer me. Did you learn your lesson, boy?” Adom asked, pulling Mazki’s attention to him and not the sex that was happening around him.

Adom lifted him up and brought him down on his hard cock, forcing Mazki’s body to take his thick length. Mazki was full instantly as he cried out in pleasure.

“You’re so tight, boy,” Adom cooed.

Warmth swirled around the pit of Mazki’s stomach. The moment Adom took the cock ring off, Mazki knew he wasn’t going to last longer than a few seconds. Adom must have known as well because he pushed Mazki forward and held the back of his neck, smashing his face into the bed as he rammed into him, hitting his prostate with a force that had electricity dancing throughout Mazki’s body.

Mazki balled the covers in his hand as his climax took over him like a wild storm. His screams were muffled by the bed, but he let them out all the same as he came undone. Adom continued to thrust inside him through Mazki’s climax, prolonging it. His entire body felt sensitive, and just as he was coming down from his earth-shattering orgasm, he was hit again as Titos pulled on the bonds. His vision went white as his body convulsed on its own, and undiluted pleasure wreaked havoc on him. He didn’t even have it in him to scream as more come was forced out of his body.

Sound slowly came back to Mazki. He fell forward in his own puddle of come. Adom’s cock slid free, making him groan. He turned his head and came face-to-face with Kail’s cock, come still dripping down the soft member. Mazki internally smirked. If only he had a drop of energy; he’d lap it all up.

“Don’t even think about it,” Kail said. He rolled over on top of Seth.

Mazki: Buzzkill.

Mazki’s entire body felt heavy as he lay there. He couldn’t even fathom lifting his fingers. He was spent.

“Learned your lesson?” Adom whispered into his ear again.

Mazki licked his lips, his mouth feeling dry.

Mazki: Possibly.

“Cheeky boy,” Adom said. He gave Mazki some water.

“We wouldn’t have him any other way,” Titos said. He lay cuddled up in between Gin and Alfrik.

Mazki winked at his master as he drank water. He had no energy for anything else. In all his years, he’d never been so happy as he was with all of them.

***

They only had a few more days before they had to leave their home. It was strange that Mazki thought of the place like that when he hadn’t had one in a long while. But the huge house was just that—his home. He was in the library with Titos, and he was stressed—all of them could feel it in the bond. He wasn’t too keen about leaving the semi safety of their territory. Not to mention the recent attack; they were all waiting for the enemy to strike again.

It was bound to happen. Mazki leaned against the wall as he committed Titos to memory as he lounged on the sofa with a book in hand. It was the tenth time Titos had yawned and shaken himself awake. When Mazki had first met Titos, he’d been in such a vulnerable state. He’d been asleep most of time with them, and he wondered if the time was coming up again.

Would it be so soon? Mazki did the math in his head, and sure enough, it was coming up around three months. How had time passed so fast? Granted, they rarely ever had long moments of peace, but still. Being with Titos was an ever-growing experience. Mazki felt as if he’d known Titos his entire life, but at the same time feeling as if he hadn’t been with the man nearly long enough. His heart twisted and raced as he thought about his life without Titos. Memories from before were quickly becoming faded and forgotten with each passing day.

Mazki admired Titos for a little while longer before his head dipped and he fell asleep once more. His face was so peaceful. Gone were the worried lines that seemed to decorate his face as of late. His lips were no longer being chewed on as soft snores left him. Mazki gave in to his own craving and walked the distance over to Titos. He ran his fingers through the soft, loose curls and lost himself in the feeling of being so close to the man he loved.

They stood like that for a little while until Titos woke up. His green eyes pinned Mazki to the spot. The tiniest of smiles lit up Titos’s face, making Mazki want nothing more than to kiss him and promise him the world.

“I thought you were keeping your distance?” Titos teased.

Mazki smirked at his lover. “It’s so hard. You’re just so tempting, especially while you’re sleeping.” Mazki licked his lips, thinking about all the things he could do to Titos while he slept.

A soft chuckle bubbled out of Titos. “Then have your wicked way with me.”

Mazki groaned and leaned forward, but Titos yawned the moment Mazki brought their lips together. He made it a quick kiss and took a step back.

“Finish reading and relaxing,” Mazki said. He tamped down his desire for the man before him. He doubted there would ever be a time he didn’t desire Titos.

Titos cocked a brow up at him but picked his book up once more. He rubbed at his eyes, but all too soon, he seemed to get lost in his book once more. Mazki made his way back over to his post and leaned to the side. One of them was always with Titos at all times, and Liby was posted just outside.

Seth and Alfrik were training in their shifted forms out in the backyard. Adom was more than likely in his office, either by himself with a stack of papers or with Ginger. Kail had said something about working out in the gym, and Gin went about reorganizing his side of the closet since there had been such a distraction before.

Mazki: Seth.

Mazki made sure to block the link from all the others. It had started off with them, and they knew a certain thing about Titos no one else knew about.

Seth: Are you slacking off again?

Mazki chuckled lightly.

Mazki: No, but have you noticed something slightly off about Titos?

Seth was silent for a bit before confirmation came back through the link.

Seth: I’m on my way up.

Mazki sighed. There was no use in telling him not to. When Seth went into protective mode, there was no shutting it off. Especially when it came to their master. The doors to the library opened, and Mazki knew there was no way the manticore shifter had made it into the house and up to the library that quick.

Adom nudged him just as he turned to see. He smiled at the older man and leaned against him. Adom was broad-chested, tall, and so strong. It didn’t matter that Mazki was technically older than him; he still felt cared for by the man.

“What brought you here?” Mazki asked.

Adom’s chest rumbled with how deep his voice was. “I missed him.”

Mazki understood it. Although they were all bonded to Titos, they were still drawn to him. It didn’t matter if they were in the same house the entire time; separation from the man they called master could only be tolerated for so long. They stood there, Titos oblivious to them both as he turned his page. His eyes started to drop once more.

Mazki wasn’t sure if Adom felt the concern through the bond or what, but his next question had Mazki’s stomach tightening.

“There something wrong?” he asked softly.

Mazki looked at Adom for a short while, locking gazes with Adom’s silver-colored eyes. They both glanced away at the same time and stared at the one man who seemed to pull all their attention with unmatched ferocity.

“Nothing to worry about,” Mazki said confidently.

Adom’s rough hand caressed Mazki’s chin before forcing his face to turn back to Adom. He was met with stern eyes that turned his insides to liquid.

Mazki sighed. “Seth will explain to everyone once he’s up here.”

The door to the library opened, and Seth strode in and instantly went to Titos. Mazki watched them for a second.

Mazki: Everyone to the library. Grab Kyo and Ginger as well.

It only took a few minutes, but slowly everyone joined in. Ginger was the last to join them in the library. Titos had a beautiful blush coloring his cheeks.

“Uh, so there is something about me that I haven’t told all of you,” Titos started.

He went into an explanation about how his body went into slumber and how vulnerable he was in such a state.

“Should we cancel?” Ginger asked.

Titos shook his head. “I’m tired, but I have a good week before it fully hits. We might not be able to stay for the entire time, but we still should go.”

Mazki met his fellow keepers’ gazes; they were all thinking the same thing. Titos’s safety was above all else.

“Stop worrying, guys, and not to mention if something does go wrong and I fall into my slumber before we get to leave, I know I have all of you to protect me.”

Mazki nodded in agreeance. Titos, in fact, had them all.

Adom turned to Ginger. “Ginger, I think it’s best if we go a day sooner than everyone else.”

Ginger nodded. “Consider it done.”
