Just a Bit Wicked

Luke concludes that Vlad and Sebastian are engaged in a forbidden love affair.The thought made him chuckle—he was reminded of the bad romance novels he used to read—but "forbidden love" was the perfect definition of what was going on between these two.It's not unethical for two adults to have sex by agreement, but it's clearly not in Vlad's eyes—as evidenced by his efforts to hide it from Luke.

He only left the apartment at night, after Luke had gone to bed, and always returned in the morning before Luke got up.If Luke hadn't checked the security logs, he wouldn't have even discovered that he had left at night.He's been either sexually contented and lazy lately, or has a gloomy, tense demeanor, and given that, it's not hard to guess where he's going.

"Hey, you can talk to me," Luke said over the quiet table one evening at dinner.Vlad looked thoughtful, tense, and more silent than usual.

Vlad stopped staring at the plate and frowned at Luke. "What are we talking about?"

Luke watched him thoughtfully for a moment before coming to the conclusion that Vlad wasn't ready for this conversation.He's clearly still struggling with his sexuality, there's no need to tell him now that Luke has found out about him and Sebastian.If Vlad himself was uncomfortable with their relationship, he wasn't happy for others to find out.

"You can talk about anything." Luke shrugged. "You look anxious, more anxious than usual."

Vlad's sharp suspicious eyes made Luke feel like he was on pins and needles.

"I'm worried about Roman," Vlad said.

Luke glared at his bodyguard.Vlad knew how worried he was about Roman, and it was a terrible way to divert Luke's attention - bad, but effective.Luke desperately wanted to fill his head with anything but Roman; otherwise he was going crazy with worries.

"Any news?" Luke said stiffly.

Vlad shook his head. "Anna called just two days ago. They should still be on the mountain. Rumor has it that Chavez has a foothold there."

"Maybe he's somewhere with no cell signal." Luke said it more optimistically than he really felt.

Vlad nodded, still clouded.

Luke felt a pang of guilt for what he had thought.Maybe he was wrong, Vlad was really worried about Roman too.

"You're not used to it, are you?" Luke asked. "You probably hate being left out of the operation, trapped here as my bodyguard for a threat that doesn't exist." Roman said the last time he contacted them, Chavez must be in Peru, the possibility of attacking Luke Sex is very low.

Vlad shrugged. "It feels weird. But Anna is good, she can protect him." Although he said comforting words, he still looked anxious and didn't know what he was thinking.

Now Luke was sure that something else was bothering him.

But what is it?

***

When the faint footsteps approached the bed, Sebastian was almost asleep.

"Your lock doesn't matter at all." It was that familiar voice.

"Stop breaking in," Sebastian yawned, muttering into the pillow. "I'm tired of fixing locks."

"Put it on." Vlad turned on the bedside lamp.

Sebastian rolled over on his back just as Vlad leaned over to kiss him.

Sebastian sighed when their lips met.Vlad savored him so carefully that he felt like he was going to be melted by the kiss.His hands automatically climbed onto Vlad's back, pulling him closer; he opened his mouth wider to make room for Vlad's tongue.God, he felt that this kiss was like electricity going straight to his toes, and the warmth spread to his limbs.Just what he needed after a long day.

But his eyelids were getting heavier, and he pushed Vlad away a little, breaking the kiss.

"You should call first," he yawns, closing his eyes. "I'm too tired, my whole body hurts, I can't do it." Technically he's still fine, but today's shoot has left him dead tired, and he can't handle the rough, powerful sex they usually have—often more than that. One round—he was really out of shape.All he wanted tonight was to be pampered and loved, and it was clearly not the right thing to ask of Vlad.

"Pain?" Vlad's tone was a little strange. "Why?"

"Because being a model is actually quite tiring." Sebastian replied.People often think that being a model is as easy as smiling for a few minutes.They don't realize how long it takes to prepare for a photo shoot, lighting, camera, etc.; also, it's quite difficult to repeat a pose over and over again until the shot is completed.By the end of the shoot, his muscles were sore, and not a good one at that. "We're too busy to eat."

"us?"

"Antonio and me," Sebastian muttered, yawning again. "Didn't I tell you? We're both signed to Tristan."

"Said."

Sebastian noticed Vlad's strained voice and frowned.The words he wanted to ask had reached his lips, but he swallowed them anyway.He didn't need to know what was going on in Vlad's mind, it was just as usual.

It was bad enough that he seemed... addicted to Vlad in the worst possible way.Vlad's kiss made him feel like he was being adored by him; Vlad's touch turned him into a pussy, wanting more, more, more, until they were one, nothing more. They shared each other; Vlad's gaze made him feel like a nice and interesting person.The latter, in particular, is extraordinarily intoxicating.He liked how Vlad wanted him madly, he liked the uncontrollable love and fascination in Vlad's eyes when he looked at him.Sebastian couldn't explain it, he only knew that every time their eyes were glued together, a little dizziness rose in his body, and a little warmth swayed away.This feeling made him drift off, gradually becoming addicted-a hidden crisis.He and Vlad were just friends with benefits and nothing else.

However, sometimes it is really hard to keep the faith.It was difficult for him to take the emotional storm in Vlad's eyes lightly.No matter how he warned himself, there would always be waves in his heart.Even though Vlad kept his word and said nothing to him, Sebastian couldn't completely ignore it.When he saw Vlad struggling under pressure, he had an urge to reach out and comfort him, to tell him that it was no big deal, that liking men was not wrong.Of course, he didn't do that.First of all, he didn't know whether Vlad would appreciate it; moreover, Sebastian was afraid that he would get deeper and deeper in the relationship.

"Antonio is funny," Sebastian murmured.He wanted to open his eyes and see Vlad, but he wasn't willing to take the risk.As long as Vlad was looking at him, he couldn't refuse his request. "It's never boring being with him."

"That's not true." The strong malice in Vlad's tone caused Sebastian to open his eyes suddenly.He suddenly remembered that Vlad had heard him and Antonio on the phone a few weeks ago and knew they were friends with benefits.

Vlad jealous?

This thought made him feel a strange feeling in his heart.

He looked at Vlad.The latter has a stiff posture and a stern face.

Is he jealous?

"He wants to come," Sebastian said, watching Vlad carefully. "But I already have enough pain in my body, I don't want to make it worse."

Vlad's expression didn't fluctuate at all.Sebastian's heart sank as he realized he wanted to make Vlad jealous.It's stupid, but he thought.He wanted Vlad to rage, grab him, kiss him, say Sebastian belonged to him and only him—

What the hell is he doing?He had always despised possessiveness, had always thought he belonged to no one, and now he wanted Vlad to think of him as his own?

"Let him come another day, no problem." Vlad's tone was flat, and he didn't even look at Sebastian.He doesn't seem to care at all.Why should he care?Sebastian was just a normal bed partner, nothing more.It seemed that Vlad was different from him, and remembered that well.

"Yeah." Anger grabbed Sebastian's throat.God, he was so stupid. "Perhaps tomorrow. I'll have him here tomorrow."

Vlad pursed his lips and nodded. "Then I'll be out of your way." He turned quickly, grabbing his coat from the chair.

He felt anxious.Will he leave here forever?Will he come back?

"Wait," Sebastian blurted out, feeling a little self-loathing for it.Vlad turned to face him.He peered at Vlad from under his eyelashes. "You can come too, tomorrow."

Vlad didn't move. "What?"

Damn, he's proposing a threesome with Antonio?But he was forced into such a situation by himself, he can't retreat now.

Sebastian forced a smile. "Just because he's here doesn't mean you can't. The more the merrier, isn't it? It's going to be fun. Tony eats to fuck himself, and he won't mind."

Vlad stared at him.Sebastian couldn't read his thoughts at all from his face.

Finally, Vlad nodded curtly and walked out of the room.

Behind him, Sebastian blinked, lost in thought.What's wrong with them?They were just kissing—a toe-curling kiss—and now they've agreed to have a threesome?

Besides, what's wrong with 3P?

Sebastian frowned and bit his lip. Threesomes are fun, he's done it a few times before, but...but.

But Vlad hasn't fully accepted his sexuality, and Sebastian doesn't think he'd be happy to have a threesome with another man.Vlad wouldn't like touching other men, or kissing other men, or paying attention to another man other than him - Sebastian -

Sebastian groaned.He is right?Jealousy and possessiveness shouldn't be part of a normal friends with benefits relationship.Oops.

Very, very bad.
