Essence of Quinn Parts 3 & 4: Papa IV Era & The Main Event - Fate Breaker (MxM)

Can't Get Enough

There's a song to accompany today's chapter that you're going to want to listen to for the second half of it 😅 it's 'Can't Get Enough' by Bad Company, so find it on Spotify or ITunes or wherever 🤷‍♀️
Hope it isn't too cheesy, I figured that it's almost Christmas/Yuletide/whatever so we deserved some indulgence. Back to the main plot next time after some distraction. Promise.

Quinn growled a frustrated growl when he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.

“I guess you’re really late now then,” Air said, amused.

Despite Quinn’s intentions to leave immediately after Swiss’ swift exit, he’d lingered. Air’s little display had been... well, it had done things to him. They hadn’t gotten very far though before this interruption. Air smoothed down Quinn’s hair that just seconds ago he’d been insistently tugging on as Quinn had worked his way down his body.

He pulled out his phone. Earth. Fuck. He answered.

“You are late! We were supposed to be leaving five minutes ago. Where the fuck are you?” the earth ghoul rumbled out.

“I’m on my way there now,” Quinn snarled back.

Air suppressed a laugh but Earth still heard it.

“What a surprise. I wonder what the distraction was?”

Quinn swiped the screen and cut him off.

“Fucking prick,” he growled.

“Oh well, at least they didn’t go without you. Secondo would have been really pissed if they’d had to,” Air said as he shrugged.

Quinn sighed and stepped away, running a hand down his face and straightening up his uniform. It was similar to the ones that Terzo’s ghouls wore and whenever they made an official trip outside of the Abbey, it was the one that Secondo liked them to wear. Air watched him, his gaze still heated.

“Hold that thought,” Quinn said, frustrated now that he had to go and play bodyguard with Earth all day feeling like this; unfulfilled.

Air smirked, his eyes burning.

“I will.”

He leaned in and bit Quinn’s bottom lip hard enough to bruise before turning away and waving over his shoulder, heading deeper into the woods. Quinn took a deep breath, turned and ran back to the Abbey.

Within a few minutes he was face to face with Earth and Secondo. Earth’s eyes went straight to Quinn’s lip and he curled his in disdain.

“Better late than never I suppose,” he sneered.

Quinn bared his fangs at the other ghoul, feeling Secondo’s annoyance at them both.

“What is your issue, Earth? Is that stick stuck too far up your ass again today?”

“Enough!” Secondo snapped. “You will leave this here. I need you both to concentrate today. This is important and I do not want to be worrying about you two goading each other all day, si?”

Quinn nodded to Secondo and Earth did the same.

“Yes, Secondo,” they both mumbled, like scolded children.

“Get in the car,” Secondo barked.

The day dragged on and Quinn thought he’d done pretty well, considering. He’d only snarled at Earth a couple of times when there were no humans around. He’d mostly concentrated on the meetings that Secondo wanted his insight into and the intuition he had turned out to be good. Secondo was pleased with him, he thought.
