Game On

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Social Experiment

The artificial sunlight streamed in through the curtains, causing Sean to stir. Groaning softly, he turned his face away from the sun and found himself inhaling the deep musk of Mark's avatar. Opening his eyes, he smiled as he stared at Mark's sleeping face. His hair was slightly damp from sweat, and his scruffy beard needed a trim, but his heart swelled looking at him. Shifting to face him, Sean slid his leg up Mark's that kept his other leg pinned to the mattress. Mark moaned in his sleep, pulling him against him. Snuggling up to him, Sean sighed blissfully. He never wanted to get up. He was warm and happy just like this. Even the loud laughing voices coming from downstairs couldn't tempt him to get up. Mark's hand slowly began moving along his back, sending shivers up his spine. Lightly biting Mark's bare shoulder, Sean teased out a tiny moan. Something that got Mark's full attention. His hard cock pressed firmly against Sean's hip, before Mark groggily purred out. "Don't tease. I'm tired."

Chuckling, Sean whispered to him passionately. "Shame. I'm wide awake." Laying onto his back, Mark's hands guided Sean's hips to sit over his thighs. Giggles rippled from Sean, causing his wings to flutter and stretch out behind him. For a moment all Mark did was stare up at him. His hand eventually reached out to stroke one of his shimmering thin wings. The sensation stole Sean's breath, and he arched his back. Sitting up, Mark wrapped his arms around Sean's waist and placed kisses along his collarbone. He could feel the tips of his vampiric fangs but didn't react to them. Grabbing Mark's hair, he tilted his head back to kiss him with a deep sensual moan. Sliding his hands down to grip Mark's shoulders, he lightly grinded his hips against Mark's, trying to coax him into playing with him as they kissed. Mark's grin set Sean's heart aflame. Grabbing his sides, Mark flipped him onto his back, shifting over him with a wicked smile. Just before their lips met in another kiss though, a gentle knock stopped them.

Dropping over Sean with a heavy sigh, Mark pulled the blanket up over them barely before the door opened. Tentatively, Lulu slipped inside and chuckled out. "Still in bed? It's almost noon, guys. We were getting worried about you." Peaking out from the blanket, Sean cleared his throat and told her honestly. "We had a long night. We'll be down in a bit." Lulu peaked around the room, asking curiously. "Is Mark in the bathroom?" Sean opened his mouth to answer, but the words died in his throat as Mark began to suckle on one of his nipples. Nodding to her, he pointed to the bathroom. Giving a little shrug, Lulu began to close the door while telling them. "Hurry up. Lunch is getting cold." The second the door clicked shut, Sean muttered under the blanket. "That was a dirty trick, Mark." Retreating farther down into the darkness of the blanket, Mark chuckled out playfully. "Ya? Wait until you see what I do next." Sean shook his head, then stifled a moan into his pillow as Mark's lips encased his cock.

Sean couldn't remember having sex as long as they did. By the time he staggered out of bed, he was drained and exhausted. He wanted to shower but was sure the others were about ready to throttle them. Unable to get his hair to lay down flat, he fluffed it up more and dressed himself. He needed coffee and something to eat before he passed out. Behind him, Mark finished dressing and kissed his shoulder. Leaning back into him, he asked weakly. "What are our plans today?" Shrugging, Mark told him honestly. "Relax. Maybe do some gardening. We're taking a break." Leaning against the doorframe, Sean anxiously mumbled out. "Can we afford to do that? This game isn't going to beat itself..." Pulling Sean out of the bedroom, Mark whispered to him lovingly. "Burning ourselves out will only make us sloppy. Besides..." Pausing to kiss Sean's forehead, Mark then added seriously. "I wanna figure out who this skeleton guy is that wants you so bad. It's better that we lay low for a bit." Sean nodded, even if his stomach didn't agree with it.

He was so torn between wanting out of the game and staying in it. Here, he had Mark all to himself. He wanted to keep it that way. Following Mark down the stairs, Sean ventured into the kitchen where Wade had left a note for them. Picking it up, Sean called out to Mark in the living room. "They went swimming in the lake. Should we join them?" Mark didn't answer. Setting the note down, Sean eased into the living room where Mark was watching the mirror on the wall intently. Turning his eyes to the news that was playing, Sean swallowed. The news was talking about the recent attacks between gamers and non-gamers. A few groups of gamers were getting worse. Killing anyone below their level to acquire money and free loot. While non-gamers were either running scared and refusing to play the game anymore. Or worse, were banning together to ambush gamers by luring them to monster spawns to help them overwhelm the gamer.
