Nightfall Curse

chapter 7🔞

By the time Felix had bathed, Hyunjin was seated in the water up to his chest, the towel soaked and wrapped around his shoulders to stave off the chill in the air. His head rested back against the smooth rock lip of the tub and his eyes were closed. Felix stared at him for a moment, his laser focus allowing him to count how many of Hyunjin’s eyelashes were coated in a thin layer of frost from the hot water hitting the cold air. He slid into the tub without so much as disturbing a ripple in the water. He sank down to his chin with a long sigh. He felt a hand on his arm under the water, and Hyunjin tugged him closer without even opening his eyes.

Felix pushed up and maneuvered himself into Hyunjin’s lap. He spread his legs over Hyunjin’s thighs and rested against him, back to chest. Though it was an intimate position, he wasn’t immediately aroused. He could smell Hyunjin’s incubus scent, but it was muted by the clean water that smelled vaguely of sulfur from the natural hot spring that it was drawn up from. But that was tempered by the added herbs and natural minerals also present in it. Felix let his head fall back against the curve of Hyunjin’s neck while his eyes closed, too, lulled by the rise and fall of the hunter’s chest as he breathed.

Hyunjin’s arms came around Felix’s chest, hands pressed to the firm skin over his pecs. He gently, idly drew small patterns with his fingers and they calmed the angel as his muscles relaxed further.

If he’d thought that this place was paradise before, now it was closer to heaven. “It would be unwise to fall asleep here,” he murmured, cracking his eyes open just enough to watch the final washes of sunlight fade behind the horizon. Hyunjin hummed his acknowledgment, continuing to stroke Felix’s chest with his thumbs. Every gently downward sweep of his fingers inched his hands down a tiny bit further. Felix basked in the touch, rejoiced in it, whimpering softly when Hyunjin had reached low enough for the edge of his thumbnail to catch his nipple. Hyunjin didn’t react to the sound, or maybe hadn’t heard it. He continued his lazy petting.

The minutes stretched out long and fluid and Felix tried his best to remain still. His blood was boiling as hot as the water on his skin by the time Hyunjin had meandered down to his abs. In a fluid motion, he ceased his rhythmic caress in favor of digging his nails lightly into Felix’s abs and scratching outwards.

Felix cried out breathlessly and arched up, hips rutting once upwards. When he settled himself again, Hyunjin’s hard length slid up between them, rubbing against the cleft of Felix’s ass and over his lower back. This time, Hyunjin moaned softly. He pressed several wet, open-mouthed kisses to the nape of Felix’s neck as his hands dipped further down, taking his cock in his hand and pumping him loosely in his fist. It was barely enough pressure to do anything, but the heat from the onsen made Felix heady, nearly drunk and cloudy with lust. All of Hyunjin’s movements were maddening and short and slow and Felix answered them by flexing his thighs, barely moving as he fucked himself into Hyunjin’s hands.

He never thought he’d be able to find his completion this way, but Hyunjin was supplementing the languid movements with firm bites along the back of his neck and shoulders. The sharp stings of exquisite pain helped drive him closer and closer to the edge. Suddenly, Felix shoved away from the hunter and stumbled to a standing position. Hyunjin didn’t appear shocked or insulted. His eyes were half-lidded and a smirk touched his lips.

Felix couldn’t stop himself from reaching down to palm his own length. He stroked it just as Hyunjin had been doing a moment ago. “We can’t finish here,” he said, voice pinched. “It will dirty the water.”

Hyunjin sat up straighter, fixing Felix with a feral grin. “Then I guess you should come here and make sure I swallow down every last drop of you.”

With a moan that he almost didn’t recognize as coming from him, Felix surged forward. Hyunjin was ready for him. He caught the angel’s hips, steadying him, and without another thought, swallowed his dick down to the root, opening his throat. That was all it took. Felix trembled and his muscles locked as he came down Hyunjin’s throat. Hyunjin soothed him through the aftershocks by stroking his hips and kneading his thighs. Once more Felix felt that strange tug inside of him. His grace begging to brush its tendrils around the hunter. And he was helpless to stop it until he’d calmed down enough to pull back from Hyunjin’s mouth.

When he opened his eyes again, he was nearly taken aback by the look on the other man’s face. Hyunjin stood up with him, heedless of the cold air. His green eyes had a strange light to them as they locked on Felix hungrily. His wolfish smile grew. “Felix,” he said, voice laced with sex and intent, “I want to stop the foreplay. It’s not enough.”

Felix’s heart thudded behind his ribs. He felt twin thrills of anticipation and trepidation zing up his spine. He swallowed hard, but didn’t back away from Hyunjin. “What do you mean?” he asked, proud that his voice remained quite steady.

Hyunjin stood in front of him, steam rising from his body as it cooled in the night air. His breath—so, so close—carried the heady scent of his musk. “I want to fuck you,” he said, raking his eyes over the angel’s body before locking onto his shocked blue gaze again and holding it, unblinking. His voice sounded strange. Not completely his. And his words sounded even stranger. “I need to fuck you. Bury myself inside you. Join with you. Felix.” He caressed the angel’s skin with his silky voice and also with his clever hands. It nearly undid Felix. His voice finally faded to a silky purr. “Will you help me? Will you let me?”

Dimly, Felix became aware that Hyunjin was using every power that the incubus poison imbued him with. He knew that he was in Hyunjin’s thrall. He knew that it was dangerous to accept anything the incubus asked of him. He knew that he could blink his eyes, break the spell, and bring Hyunjin back from the brink. Felix’s lips parted. “Yes,” he whispered. “Yes, Hyunjin.” And he drew the hunter closer for a taste of his sweet, poisonous ambrosia.
