When Blindfolds Fall

13: The Evening After

The early evening moonlight snuck in through the silk of the curtains in Viktor's bedroom, giving them a gentle white glow. The stream of silver stretched all the way to the bed where a happy man admired the beautiful glimmer of his engagement ring with the moonlight shed by the celestial body that governed him.

Viktor was still fast asleep, his nose buried against Josiah's shoulder and his muscular arms wrapped around his body.

Josiah was awake, smiling fondly at his ring and feeling satisfied with his life.

Last night had to be the most incredible, romantic, and passionate intercourse he had ever had. Even their past nights together, which were still amazing, wouldn't compare to this one.

Everything was perfect in this moment, and yet . . . something was bothering Josiah.

Despite how emotional last night was for them, Josiah was barely starting to think about how his only request turned out.

In the midst of their sex, Josiah asked Viktor to touch him without the barrier of his gloves that he usually wore and never removed for any reason.

Viktor had been reluctant, but Josiah guessed that he made an exception just for that night and did it. But there was a catch. The only way he would remove them was if Josiah was blindfolded.

A part of him thought that maybe Viktor just wanted to add more to the intensity since it did make it feel more pleasurable. But another part thought that there was a darker reason for it, literally and figuratively.

What if Viktor wanted Josiah to be blindfolded so he wouldn't see the marks of murder on his hands? That was an all too possible option.

"Up already?" Josiah was startled by the sound of Viktor's gravely morning voice.

"S-Sorry, did I wake you darling?" Josiah turned over towards him and pushed those sinister questions into the very back of his head again.

"No. It's fine sweetheart."

Viktor cuddled Josiah more and the latter placed his face against the other's chest.

"Last night felt amazing." Josiah blushed.

"You're telling me. It's the first time in centuries I wake up feeling completely spent." Viktor muttered and started absent-mindedly petting Josiah's head. "I'm even thinking there's a chance I'm still in a refractory period."

Josiah got playful, so he abruptly broke their embrace and got off the bed. Viktor barely opened his eyes confused, but when he saw Josiah standing in full display and start bending over against the window, they widened entirely.

"Hm, well what do you know? You're not in a refractory period after all." Josiah chuckled as he looked over his shoulder and down at the obvious erection in Viktor poking through the sheets.

"You're really gonna regret doing that." Viktor suppressed a smirk and laid flat on his back, his hardened dick making a tent with the sheets.

Josiah climbed back on the bed and pulled the covers down from his lover. Viktor couldn't hide his surprise and it nearly sent him over the edge seeing Josiah's challenging smile as he said:

"Try me."

Even though Josiah was feeling confident in his ability to bear one more round of sex with Viktor, he really did regret having incited him about thirty minutes later.

"Owww." Josiah whimpered as he held his rear after finishing getting dressed.

"I told you not to test me." Viktor said unbothered as he did his tie in front of a mirror.
