his hair covered his face from his mother’s view. Vax could see the snarl his friend aimed at him, however. He beamed at Bacoj as Deehur covered a chuckle by coughing into his napkin.
Deehur arched a brow at Vax. “Someone knows who rules the roost here.”
Felac glared at him. “What do you mean by that?”
“Only that we all bow to the best of us, my love.” He reached over to claim her hand so he could kiss it.
Sadiv offered her pilchok again. She sniffed and her eyes narrowed, but she accepted it. Bacoj gazed at his parents with amusement. And love.
Vax enjoyed meeting them and learning about Bacoj’s relationship with his parent clan. Now that he knew the lay of the land, it was obvious his efforts to charm should be concentrated on Felac. Doing so would keep him in the family’s good graces long enough to determine if Bacoj was the Dramok for him.
It seemed more and more, career or not, ready or not, he’d found the right man.

Stinging pain in his neck woke Vax. He cried out. A heavy weight covered him. He couldn’t move. Waves of darkness impeded his vision.
Someone on top of him. Biting him with fangs, though the pain had disappeared. He yelled again and shoved at the muscled body pinning his down.
It shifted, lifting up just a little. Morning light came from the wall on the left, from the vid window of Bacoj’s sleeping room. His host looked down on him, fangs descended so they showed behind his square teeth. He grinned. “Easy, pretty Imdiko. I have to claim control before you try to take it from me again.”
His weight descended, and he bit once more. Vax already felt the effects of Bacoj’s venom, the intoxicant making him passive to the Dramok. Obedient, no matter how he might wish otherwise.
The hard lengths of Bacoj’s cocks against his abdomen told Vax sex was on the menu. Sex that Bacoj would be able to dictate, since the bite rendered its victim unable to resist commands. Vax would be completely at the Dramok’s mercy. If Bacoj had any.
His weak struggles to push his assailant off were to no avail. His lover kept him trapped until Vax had no fight left in him. Only when Vax lay still and moaning did Bacoj lift his weight from the other man’s body.
“That should be enough. Don’t move. Don’t speak. And don’t come.” Bacoj gripped Vax’s rigid primary and pumped. Heat shot into the shaft, and Vax yelled. However, he remained perfectly motionless, held in place by Bacoj’s order. Lying there, suffering under the demanding grip without being able to enjoy release.
“So wet and hard,” Bacoj crooned, watching his face as he drove him insane with longing. “I’m sure you have plenty of ideas on what you’d like me to do with you. You always do. Too bad you can’t tell me any of them.” He bent and licked the tip of Vax’s shaft, sending a lightning strike of lust through his groin. Bacoj straightened again, grinning at the helpless noises he made. “No, this is about what I want to do with you, Imdiko. Can you imagine the fun I’m going to have after your games last night? You enjoyed yourself at my expense during dinner with my parents, didn’t you? Hmm? You have to pay for that now. Good thing neither of us is working today.”
Vax had waited for some form of punishment the night before. However, Bacoj hadn’t indicated there would be any. He’d bided his time, waiting to catch Vax at his most vulnerable instead.
It was a bad sign. Bacoj was determined Vax would pay for setting him up to com his clingy mother twice a week.
“Let’s start with some sensitizing cream and a paddling. Roll over and put your ass in the air for me, Imdiko.”
Vax had felt limbless an instant before, but Bacoj’s command put him in motion before he could think. His face was in the sheets—which smelled deliciously of Bacoj and the sex they’d had before falling asleep the night before—and his butt stuck up barely a second later.
Humming happily, Bacoj rubbed the offered cheeks with rough hands. “Lovely, lovely Vax. I swear there’s nothing so incredible as seeing your ass up and begging for attention.” He gave it several slaps, leaving Vax moaning into the mat as hurt sizzled. The sensation zapped straight to his cocks, making them jolt.
Cool cream was rubbed into his flesh, and the pain increased,
