Pavane for a Lost Boy (Or Rather, How to Survive Loss after Rejection)

Chapter Seventy-Eight

Demario's POV

"What a day," I breathed as I slumped onto my bed, my brain and body drained from the intense confrontation with Ryan Peavey. "I did NOT expect to have Peavey be at the Kendricks manor. And him still wanting to have a triad relationship with me and Oliver?! Not going to happen!"

I turned to my phone and dialed Mr. Peavey's phone number. After two rings, I heard the older man answer. "Hello?"

I took a deep breath. "Hey, Mr. Peavey. It's Demario," I replied. "Look, I don't know if you haven't heard just yet, but your son was at the Kendricks manor as my friends and I were having tea with them."

"What?!" he exclaimed, fury lighting into his voice. "Where is he now?!"

"Thankfully, in jail since Mr. Kendricks had him arrested after Holly had landed a few punches on him," I replied. "I admit that I knocked him out after he made the ridiculous request to be in a triad relationship with me and Oliver, neither of us being happy with his offer."

"And you shouldn't be," I heard Mr. Peavey snorted. "Tell me that you were smart enough to refuse."

"Thankfully, yes, but he went on with a threat to cause more chaos if Oliver or myself, if not both of us, refused him. He even hinted on planning to take out my aunt Denise and her husband Trey alongside my aunt's unborn kids to make his point that, and I quote you, 'if I can't have you and Oliver, then no one can.' His words, not mine. So you already know that shit just got too real for my blood. Hopefully, he'll finally have the book thrown at him and face the charges of murder and conspiracy for what he did. And with Blake out of the picture, all the weight's going to fall on him."

"Good to know," Mr. Peavey commented. "But if I know better, something tells me that Ryan's not going to let this go without much of a fight. If anything, he's bound to do something drastic."

"Exactly, which is why I'm calling you in advance to let you know what might go down if we're not careful," I noted just as I heard the doorbell ring from downstairs. "My foster dads and Mr. Kendricks are teaming up to finally lay this whole matter to rest once and for all. But we need to be careful if we don't want to lose any of our social circles."

"That's why my wife, daughter, and I will be taking off for a while until things finally cool off," I heard the older man say. "I've spoken with my attorneys and the DA about this, them advising me to lay low and be prepared for what's next."

"Then we're agreed."

"We are, son. And let me just say that you're one marvel of a young man who's been through the worst of the storms. Despite how you've been dealt with many bad hands, you still come back and fight for what's yours. Never forget that you're blessed with people who care about you, Demario. You truly are one force to be reckoned with."

"Thank you, sir," I said before I said my goodbyes and disconnected.

I huffed a deep breath just as Oliver, with his backpack and duffel bags in hand, come inside. "Everything okay?" he asked me.

I nodded. "Now that you're here, I think that that my night is about to get better," I replied. "Sleepover?"

"Sleepover. My uncle's traveling abroad on business for the week, so you and I are spending time together."

I smiled brightly. "Well, that made my day."

*************

After a nice dinner with family, Oliver and I were back in our bedroom and feeling grateful that the weekend was coming up with Friday set for the following day. "Joel and Taylor said that the arraignment hearing for Ryan is set for tomorrow," I said as Oliver and I finished the last of our homework assignments (finals preparation was slated for the following week). "I told myself that I wasn't going mainly because I don't have anything much to say to him any more. His actions spoke for themselves, anyhow, and there's too much bad blood to talk to him anyway."

"Good to know," Oliver hummed as he finished his AP Physics homework. "I'm still pissed off that he made that offer for a throuple for the three of us, not to mention kissing you like that. I may be born female, but even I knew that guys of his caliber was totally out of line."

"I can't blame you," I agreed, putting away my worksheets for Calculus away before clearing my bed off. "His kisses were so...full of dark and toxic emotions, as if he was a starved man craving forbidden fruit."

"That's because you're MY forbidden fruit, Demario," Oliver commented, giving me a small smirk as we put our books away before he came to me on the bed with a sensually feral look in his eyes. "And despite me being trans, I still have a thing for guys like you- well-restrained, no-nonsense, sensible yet willing to learn more about life, practical, and willing to face any challenge life throws your way. Some people like people based on physical attributes. Me? It's what comes from the heart that calls out to me the most."

He got on the bed, sitting next to me before placing a chaste kiss that was followed by more and more kisses that soon turned passionate and wanting "Oliver," I moaned.

"Demario, I want you. I want you here tonight," my boyfriend panted as he and I started taking off each other's clothes slowly as if we were kids unwrapping Christmas presents. Finally naked, Oliver reached into his duffel bag and got out condoms and a bottle of lube. "Can't be too prepared these days," he teased, his voice dangerously seductive. "And tonight, you and I are going to have some fun."

He climbed on top of me, eyes full of fire and desire as the two of us started to make out. "Take me, Oliver," I begged him as he placed butterfly kisses up and down my neck. "Make me forget all things Ryan Peavey."

He gave me a dominant look. "With pleasure," he said, voice edged with lust.

Ryan Peavey, eat your heart out!

There's going to be more of the steamy and smutty goodness in the next chapter as Demario and Oliver lose each other in a night of passions! Don't even think about getting comfortable just yet, folks! There's more to come, so stay tuned!
