Essence of Quinn Parts 3 & 4 (MxM)

Delaying the Inevitable

"Quinn!" Air squirmed when Quinn scraped a fang over his nipple, closing his teeth around it and biting down. Air gasped and rolled his hips. "Quinn! Seriously! You need to go!"

Quinn ignored him and carried on making his way south, nibbling and licking his way down Air's torso. He batted at Quinn's shoulders half-heartedly, making a frustrated sound to show he meant business. Quinn snarled and pulled back a little, crawling back up Air's body and putting his chin on the tattoo over his heart. He glared up at him, scowl firmly in place. Air grinned, eyes glowing, and Quinn reached up and put his palm against the other ghoul's forehead.

"Are you coming down with something? Because you know what you were about to get just then, don't you?"

Air pouted and sighed.

"I know. And I'm devastated. Truly." He shifted and propped himself up on his elbows. "Secondo is going to be pissed if you're late."

Quinn whined, the atmosphere suddenly becoming heavier. Air reached out and stroked his face, thumb tracing the line of his cheekbone.

"Don't make me go," Quinn whispered. "I want to stay here with you a little while longer."

Air gave him a sad smile and ran his fingers through Quinn's hair, teasing it between his fingers. He closed his eyes and leaned into the touch.

"The sooner it's over with, the sooner you'll be back with me and Cali and Amaya. Now go. Have a shower, because you reek of sex."

Quinn snorted and bit Air's pectoral, making him yelp.

"Whose fault is that?"

Air chuckled, low and throaty.

"I'll fucking get you back for that later, by the way," Air said, shoving at him. "And it definitely isn't my fault. I don't know what you're implying."

Quinn got up and sat back on his heels, taking in the glorious, naked form of his mate for a few moments longer.

"Was that a threat, or a promise?" he said dryly.

Air grinned at him.

"Both. Now, get out of my bed and fuck off. I'm going back to sleep."

He put his foot on Quinn's stomach and nudged at him. Quinn got the message and reluctantly climbed off, standing next to the bed with his hands on his hips. Air waved at him dismissively, wrapped himself in the duvet and rolled over, turning his back on him.

"I know when I'm not fucking wanted," Quinn grumbled as he snagged his discarded clothes from the floor of Air's room.

"Well, I don't think you do, seeing as you're still fucking here," Air said snarkily.

"Sleep tight," Quinn growled back at him. "Don't let the bedbugs bite!"

He directed some quintessence to Air's butt cheek and he made it sting. Air yelped again and Quinn laughed, bundling up his clothes. He wandered out into the lair, slamming the door behind him.

"Fucking hell, seer!"

He sighed when he heard Earth's voice from further down the corridor.

"Fuck off, Earth!" Quinn snarled. He turned to look back over his naked shoulder and realised Zoe was there too, looking her fill. "Oh, hi, Zoe."

Earth rumbled out a growl.

"We are having a pack meeting tonight! I'm setting some ground rules now that Zoe is moving in. Rule number one! Everyone must wear clothing at all times in the communal areas."
