Stephan's Monster [Vampires of Vadin 2] (Siren Publishing Classic ManLove)

by Shelby Rhodes

  * * * *

  Stephan shifted nervously from one foot to the other. Oh God, what had he done? Had he lost his damn mind?

  He couldn’t do this. What the hell had he been thinking? Stephan couldn’t even handle Jayden touching his…touching his dick through his clothes.

  How the hell could he be fully nude around him? It had only been a few days since Stephan freaked out because of a fucking hug, even if he had allowed Jayden to kiss him after…not to mention a few other things.

  Stephan pulled on his hair—ugh, what was wrong with him?

  No, he could do this! He’d just need bubbles, lots and lots of bubbles to hide under. Stephan was sure he’d be fine as long as Jayden couldn’t actually see him.

  Jumping into action, he turned the knob to start the water flowing. It shot out of the five spouts in the sides of his sunken tub. Once steam began to rise, Stephan covered the drain, allowing the tub to fill.

  He rummaged through the cabinets that held all his bathing products, grabbed an unopened bottle of bubbles, and dumped some under each spout until the bottle was empty. That done, he stripped and stepped in. As the bubbles formed, Stephan gathered them around him like a protective shield.

  The tub was full by the time a still fully clothed Jayden walked in—thank the heavens for fast-filling bathtubs.

  As the man took in the bathroom, his eyes widened. Looking around, Stephan realized it was a bit much.

  * * * *

  Holy shit, Stephan’s bathroom looked like a frickin’ spa, the walls painted a marbled gray, the floors wooden. A large, sunken white marble tub was situated flush against the left wall. It had to be at least ten by twelve feet, and probably three or four feet deep. A stool and a small wooden box with a handle sat by the edge of the tub, there were bottles and a variety of little things scattered inside.

  In the corner, a bit away from the tub, stood a large glass shower. On the right, wood cabinets were built into the wall. Directly in front of him was a massive window that touched the floor, and behind him white marble sinks and counters lined the wall.

  Jayden’s gaze shifted back to the tub. Stephan was sitting back, head leaning against the wall. Steam wafted up, and there were bubbles foamed up to his neck. Even though covered, the man’s face was flushed.

  “It’s a bit much, huh?”

  “Maybe.” Jayden chuckled.

  The realization that Stephan was completely nude under all those bubbles had him gulping. Jayden’s hands were a bit unsteady as he removed his shirt and pants. He’d been about to take off his boxer briefs but thought better of it.

  Stephan was staring at him intently, breathing faster than normal, and there was a slight hint of fear under the sweet-smelling bubbles. It told him his decision to leave his boxers on had been right.

  As if approaching a frightened animal, Jayden slowly walked over to the tub. Lowering himself in, he realized there was a raised area around the bathtub’s walls. Sitting down adjacent to Stephan, Jayden kept his hands to himself.

  “You’re…you’re not going to take them off?”

  “Maybe later.” Jayden crooked his finger. “Come here.”

  Trembling, Stephan waded over. When close enough, Jayden pulled him onto his lap face-forward and wrapped his arms around Stephan. As he leaned down to bury his face in Stephan’s neck, he glided his hands up the man’s arms to lightly grip his shoulders. Massaging the delicate flesh for just a moment, Jayden pushed aside tangled hair to place soft kisses on Stephan’s bare shoulders.

  * * * *

  Don’t freak out, don’t freak out—he’s not hurting you. Shuddering slightly at the soft press of Jayden’s lips, Stephan forced himself to relax back.

  Oh God, he could feel Jayden’s hard-on against his butt. To be honest, the man was hard everywhere. Stephan looked like a weakling compared to him. Maybe…he did need to eat more. Ugh, he’d probably just get fat.

  Though, Stephan had never met a fat immortal. Wait, no, he had never met an overweight full-blooded immortal. He’d met a few whose human DNA dominated, that had more weight than was healthy.

  “Can I wash your hair?” Jayden’s deep voice rumbled against his shoulder.

  Biting his lip, Stephan nodded.

  “Stephan, is there a showerhead?”

  He reached to the right, slid back a panel, and pulled out the showerhead connected to the tub.

  “Ah.”

  His voice squeaked as he told Jayden, “You push the button to start the water flow.”

  Stephan blinked in confusion when Jayden moved him off his lap. Looking back, he watched the man grab the stool sitting beside the tub and put it underwater in front of him.

  “Sit,” Jayden instructed. “As much as I love having your nude body against me, it would make washing your hair impossible.”

  Blushing, Stephan said nothing and sat on the stool.

  Water cascaded over his head. Jayden was gentle as he massaged shampoo into Stephan’s scalp and through his long strands. But every time the man’s hands brushed against his bare skin, Stephan’s body tingled and a soft moan left his lips.

  It wasn’t sexual, but still, his prick hardened, and he found it increasingly difficult to stay still. Stephan was entirely grateful that the bubbles hid him away.

  “Beautiful, though I wonder if it can even be brushed when dry,” Jayden murmured as he finished washing Stephan’s hair.

  He giggled nervously. “Not really.”

  After grabbing a hair tie from the wooden box by the tub, Jayden gathered and pulled his thick curls up into a bun. “Done,” Jayden announced with a peck on top of his head. “Now to wash the rest of you,” he purred.

  * * * *

  “That is, if you’ll let me.”

  Jayden was just going to go for it. He wanted Stephan to feel pleasure, and he wanted the little man to feel comfortable with his needs—to not fear them.

  At a small nod, Jayden wasted no time. He picked Stephan up and set him on the edge of the tub. Squawking, Stephan tried to cover his erection.

  “You’re beautiful. Please don’t hide from me.”

  Trembling hands slowly slid away. He licked his lips. The view in front of him had his dick throbbing. Jayden found his gaze following water droplets and bubble suds as they traveled down the man’s smooth skin. Stephan’s legs were slim, his waist trim, and his stomach perfectly flat.

  Besides what was on his head, the only hair on the man’s body was a neatly trimmed patch of curls at the base of his five-inch cock. Stephan’s prick twitched ever so slightly as pre-cum dripped from its tip. The view was mouthwatering.

  He grabbed a bathing poof and lathered it up with a bodywash that smelled of lilies. Running the sponge up and down Stephan’s neck, Jayden used swirling motions to spread the sweet-scented foam over the man’s collarbone. Lower down, he gently brushed against Stephan’s erect pink buds.

  The little man’s eyes dilated and his lips parted as the textured poof rasped against his nipples—small tremors ran through him. Stephan’s breathing grew heavy, and the scent of his lust thickened.

  The man looked so beautiful in his arousal, but Jayden would have to watch him closely. He didn’t want to draw out Stephan’s fear again.

  As Jayden washed Stephan, he soon found out how very sensitive the man’s body was. Stephan shifted and whimpered, his breath hitching each time Jayden found a spot.

  Not wishing to scare him, Jayden was quick as he slid between the man’s rounded cheeks. Continuing on, he covered every delectable inch of him with suds until all that was left was Stephan’s swollen prick and tight sack.

  Sweat dripped down Jayden’s face as he looked at the last bit left untouched—he felt almost light-headed. The heat from the water and that his arousal left him dizzy. The only clear thought in his mind was that he wished to possess the man in front of him—Jayden wanted to make Stephan his.

  After dropping the poof, hand completely soaped up, Jayden wrapped it around Stephan’s cock.
The man jerked in shock at his touch.

  Instead of rubbing the twitching flesh in his grasp, Jayden remained still, waiting to see how Stephan would react.

  Swaying, the little man grabbed his shoulder to stabilize himself. “J-Jade,” Stephan whined.

  When the stench of fear never came, Jayden ran his hand up and down Stephan’s shaft. Pre-cum and suds mixed together as he pumped the man’s throbbing prick.

  The soft moans that drifted past Stephan’s lips strengthened Jayden’s excitement. Each drop of pre-cum he drew from the man had his own leaking out.

  Jayden’s gaze kept flitting between what his hand was doing and his lover’s face. Either view was worth dying for. He cupped the man’s balls with his other hand, then gently squeezed and massaged the tight sack.

  “Oh God, Jayden…” Stephan cried.

  Jayden focused on the look of pleasure on the man’s face. Stephan’s eyes were hazy, his lips slightly parted. He had his head tilted back, seeing nothing—just feeling and taking in every touch.

  But Jayden had no intention of letting the man come this way. He wanted to bring him with his mouth, to have his sweet release on his tongue. To savor Stephan’s first taste of pleasure in years.

  Releasing him, Jayden pulled away.

  “What…” Stephan muttered in a daze.

  “I want to taste you, sweetheart. Will you let me?”

  Stephan’s brow furrowed, looking so adorably confused. Chuckling, Jayden slowly ran a finger up the underside of the man’s cock. “I want to suck this.”

  The pleasure clouding Stephan’s face faded a bit. “S-suck?” the man sputtered.

  Jayden wiggled his eyebrows. “Suck,” he purred.

  Stephan nodded stiffly. Permission given, Jayden grabbed the showerhead and sprayed Stephan’s crotch. The man squealed in indignation at the sudden assault of water, shying away.

  Hands gripping Stephan’s thighs, Jayden grinned. He slid down into the water until he was eye level with the man’s hard length. “Sorry, I’ve never liked the taste of soap.”

  Stephan started to say something, but it ended in a choked gasp as Jayden took his cock fully down his throat. Nuzzling into his trimmed curls, he breathed in the man’s musky, sweet scent—caramel with a hint of pistachio.

  Jayden ran his hands up and down Stephan’s trembling thighs. And for just a few moments, he stared into the man’s glazed eyes, savoring the taste of him—then he swallowed.

  “Jayden!” Stephan cried out, his hands threaded through Jayden’s hair, gripping the strands tightly. He writhed as Jayden massaged his cock with his throat.

  When he pulled off, Stephan let out a whine of protest. But Jayden ignored his pleas and blew a few puffs of cool air on the spit-covered tip before flicking his tongue against Stephan’s slit. The man moaned and arched toward him as he licked the mushroom head and captured every dollop of pre-cum with his tongue.

  Only when Stephan’s whimpers and moans echo through the room did Jayden finally take him back into his mouth. Then, hollowing his cheeks, he began to suck, bobbing up and down on Stephan’s cock.

  “Jade, Jade, Jade…” the man chanted between his cries of pleasure.

  The sweet pleas had Jayden’s balls tightening and his prick spasming. And as he continued to suck on Stephan’s throbbing cock, he reached down to grip and roll the man’s sack in his hand.

  Pre-cum coated his throat, sweet on his tongue. It wouldn’t be long now as the hard length in his mouth continuously twitched, the man’s balls clenching in his hand. Jayden found his heartbeat quickening in anticipation of tasting the man’s seed. The silvery substance would spread across his taste buds as he drank it down.

  Stephan threw his head back on a strangled cry as he came. One of Jayden’s hands shot out to the swell of Stephan’s back as the man arched painfully and started to fall.

  Thick liquid that tasted of sweet syrup slid down Jayden’s throat. He gulped down each spurt, refusing to waste a single drop. And there was so much of it—the man’s orgasm went on and on.

  When finally spent, Stephan’s body shuddered and his arms fell limply to the sides. His upper body hung in the air, held up only by the hand Jayden had placed on the man’s lower back.

  After pulling off the sensitive flesh, he licked his lips.

  * * * *

  Mind cloudy, Stephan barely registered when Jayden lowered his tingling body to the floor. With his heart racing and his breathing faster than normal, he felt a bit dizzy. It had been fifteen years since Stephan had last come, but he didn’t remember ever having experienced something like this.

  Lacking the energy to move, Stephan just lay there staring at the ceiling as he listened to Jayden move around. As he came down from the high his climax had brought, Stephan’s heartbeat returned to normal. His cock twitched when something brushed over it—his lover was cleaning him. Not long after, he found himself bundled in fluffy towels.

  His mind cleared, and Stephan’s heart sped up for a very different reason—panic.

  Oh. My. God. He had a lover. He didn’t know how to have a lover. But were he and Jayden lovers?

  If they were, Stephan was terrible at it. He hadn’t even gotten the man off. Were they lovers now? Would “boyfriend” be more accurate? Was there a difference? Neither of them had asked, though…was asking required?

  Stephan chewed on his lip nervously—did Jayden even want to date? They hadn’t talked about it. What if he didn’t? Stephan wanted to.

  “Whatever you’re thinking about, stop,” Jayden rasped and picked him up with one arm, his hand cupping Stephan’s ass.

  The smell of the man’s arousal was mixed in with the musky smell of Stephan’s orgasm. Ignoring Jayden’s need wouldn’t be right—it wouldn’t be fair.

  “W-what about y-you?” he managed to stutter out.

  Jayden cocked his head. “What about me?”

  “Um, you didn’t, um…you didn’t…” Stephan became flustered and couldn’t manage to get the rest of his words out.

  The man grinned. “I didn’t come?”

  Face heating, Stephan nodded and buried his head against Jayden’s shoulder as the man strode into the bedroom.

  “Relax, Stephan. I can take care of myself later.”

  He popped his head up. “But I can hel—”

  “We both know you’re not ready for that.” Jayden stopped in front of Stephan’s drawers and began to rummage through them.

  “Bu—”

  “Drop it, sweetheart.”

  At the command, Stephan stuck his bottom lip out and pouted. Jayden just laughed.

  Moments later the man let out a satisfied grunt and pulled out a pair of white silk panties and a bubblegum-pink tank top.

  Dear God, he had just let the man rustle through his underwear. Then again, Stephan had also just let Jayden suck him off, so he supposed the man looking at his underwear wasn’t that big of a deal. It didn’t make it any less embarrassing.

  Wiggling, he tried to slap Jayden’s hands away when the man laid him on the bed and started to dress him. “I can do it,” Stephan whined.

  Jayden rolled his eyes and ignored him. Once done, the man slid in next to him.

  Peering through his lashes, Stephan scooted over to cuddle. Jayden’s arm slipped around his waist.

  The worries Stephan had just moments ago returned, and he couldn’t help but voice them. “A-are we dating? Or is this something else? S-sex friends? Are we lovers? Is this a fling? Do you want to date?” His words rushed out and would have continued to do so if Jayden hadn’t covered his mouth.

  “Hush. Stephan, you overthink things.” Jayden sighed and dropped his hand away. “We’ve already confessed, haven’t we? While I know practically nothing about relationships, I’m pretty sure that means we’re dating.”

  His heart fluttered. He felt light—happy. Jayden was his. He was Jayden’s. A relationship, he was in a relationship!

  Squealing, he threw his arms around Jayden’s neck and
kissed him.

  Chapter Sixteen

  Days later

  “Is that everything?” Adrian asked.

  “For the most part.”

  The king remained silent for a few moments—just absently rubbing his hand over his extended belly. Adrian was very, very pregnant, and would give birth within the month.

  A birth that most wished would come early. From what Dante had heard, the man had become a true terror. Adrian was not handling the spike in his hormone levels and the aches gracefully.

  Hand stilling, he asked, “Am I correct to assume that you approve of the boy joining your group?”

  “Yes.”

  “What would happen if I decided against it? Or if I decided that Jayden should be punished for his crimes, along with Stephan for his involvement?”

  “Well, off the top of my head, I believe Jayden would try to kill me.”

  A smile played on Adrian’s lips. “The idea has merit.”

  Yes, Adrian was not handling pregnancy well. His feelings toward those who irritated him were…well, there certainly weren’t many coming to him with stupid complaints anymore.

  “Adrian,” King Xavier growled. The man had remained silently standing behind his husband until now.

  “You wound me, Your Highness.” Dante laughed. “Well, what Jayden would do is rather predictable. After killing me, he’d probably take Stephan and run. However, out of the two men, Stephan Everwood is the one to watch out for. Jayden’s fury, for the most part, is cold and methodical. Stephan’s is unpredictable and feeds on his emotions, which means in a rage, it’s harder for him to control his powers. He is extremely dangerous. That young man has a ball of hatred inside him. I only saw a hint of it, but I’ll tell you now it’s not something to take lightly.”

  “I see. Well, then it’s a good thing I don’t plan on doing any of that. He will make a nice addition to your men.” Adrian began to glide his hands over his stomach once again. No doubt thinking of his unborn child, the king said, “Using him will also help us rid the world of criminals who should have died years ago.”
