Chapter 26 – part 2

Meanwhile another pair was also in some deep conversations. Or Mick was hoping for that. After the meeting Kerim had to assist the Gods with the preparations, using his holy light and its power.

The big demon waited patiently... for a while. Then started pacing up and down on the hallway in Kerim's house. To the utter amusement of Smaug the cat who decided he had to cheer up the big man with trying to pounce on him from various angles.

For the Angel of Light it wasn't easy to keep his deepest thoughts from the Gods, but luckily they all were too busy for deep soul-searching conversations. Even if he felt Seth's worried eyes on him more than once.

Entering his home – this time through the main door – in a few hours, he felt exhausted and in a quiet mood, but expected that Mick wasn't going to give up on finally pulling out of him what bothered the angel...

He got to that hallway just in time to see Smaug's next "attack" on his big demon and it managed to put a genuine smile on the pale face.

Mick groaned and faked a stumble as he played along with the cat. Turning around he smiled at Kerim and straightened up from his 'wound' to wrap his arms around the small being. "I've missed you. You okay?" he asked caressing the silky hair and pressed a kiss into it too.

Chuckling from the cute game his pair and guardian were playing, Kerim melted into the hug and pressed his face against the wide chest, deeply inhaling Mick's familiar scent. He could feel Smaug rubbing against his leg, meowing as a greeting.

Kerim exhaled slowly as he finally let the feeling of being home spread in him. "Missed you too, baby. I'm exhausted, but will live," he murmured as his own arms wrapped around Mick for a few long moments.

Up until the constant meowing made him realize what Smaug wanted.

"Alright, alright..." he chuckled a bit amused and got out of the hug to bend down and pick up the huge cat. "Damn, you are getting heavy. Is Mick giving you extra food, hm?" he said to the cat and pressed soft kisses against his head.

"Nah... Why would I," Mick protested winking at Smaug. "Come on. Let's rest a little bit. For what were you needed for the Gods?" the demon asked softly. He could feel just how tired his angel was and wanted him to feel better and have that talk in a good way and not to make Kerim feel worse.

"Hm..." Kerim looked between the two accomplices with a good amount of doubt in that sound and look, but let it slip as he put Smaug down and followed the big man further into the nice home, the cat at their heels.

"I lent them my energies to help form that gate Sotiris will open up with our help in two days. They are still working on it, but I could leave. It's a delicate and complicated process. To make it strong and stable enough for all of us to pass through," he explained.

"That sounds exhausting. Want to eat something? I have some soup and garlic toast to go with it?" Mick rubbed Kerim’s back and he pulled him a bit closer to his body. "I want you to feel better. And safe with me," he said, gently trying to lead their talk towards what was on his mind.

"It was exhausting, but I try to help where I can be useful," he said closing his tired eyes for a moment from the back rub and while leaning against Mick's warm side as they walked into the kitchen. "That menu sounds amazing, my love. Thank you," Kerim nodded and caressed Mick's stomach gratefully, reacting only that way to his comments.

Afterwards he went to the sink to wash his hands, wanting to help Mick serve the food.

Mick meant his words. And was patient with Kerim. He only hoped that his angel would ease up about his problems and talk to him soon.

"Com,e baby. I bring the toast you set the plates," he smiled at his arriving pair, turning on the heat under the pot of vegetable soup. "I even put sweet potatoes in it ‘cause I know you love them," the demon continued on a light tone. It was a little bit like faking that everything was okay. But he was almost desperate by then.

"You are the best, my love," Kerim smiled under his nose as he took the plates and spoons to the table and set it. Then he sat down and looked at his man in silence, unnecessarily straightening his napkin.

"You... deserve better than me..." he whispered barely audible, feeling that desperation from his "husband". "I'm sorry if you feel like I closed you out."

"You... probably had your reasons. I have the very best with you," Mick said bringing the soup and the warm garlic toast to the table and sat down next to Kerim. "You know that I can hear you," he reached and held Kerim's hand in his big one. "I love you more than I ever loved anyone and anything. And I am always here for you," Mick said taking a deep breath. "Just… Please don't think you're not worthy of my love... or ours. The gods were clear that they care about you and Samael and Robb wanted to stand up for you too. So many of us are against your opinion," Mick lifted and kissed the back of the slim hand in his. "Just know that… Please."

Hearing all that, the small smile on Kerim's face finally reached his eyes too. Mick's words and clear support and love moved him and also lifted his spirit a bit, making him feel more or less okay-ish again.

"Thank you, Mick. I already feel a bit better," he said, rubbing Mick's fingertips with his thumb. "You are a real gentleman, making the poor tired wifey feel cherished," he tried to joke to ease up the seriousness of the situation. "You even cooked... Hm, it smells divine." And with that Kerim picked up his spoon and tried the soup with some approving little moans.

Mick just watched Kerim taste the soup and chuckled. "You are the best wife, approving on my cooking," he said and started to eat too. "You deserve what you are. And we will protect you. You did not mess it up. You gave your battle-worn husband an amazing magical night," he stated quietly.

Kerim was chewing on his sweet potato with some more delight then after swallowing it, he sighed a little and looked up into the electric blue eyes. "Okay," he said, letting himself accept that fact for now. "I'm glad you enjoyed that magical night."

To change the subject a bit, he reached for the garlic toast. "And how are you? How is Jim? Feeling less tense and grumpy? And the preparations?" he asked instead and took a bite. "Damn, sooo good..." he mumbled before another quick bite.

Mick inhaled deep and thought okay… for now maybe he was not just saying it but feeling it too.

"Jim is always grumpy if he has to do anything besides sex and eating... just to be honest…" he scoffed. "He is much stronger and I think will do okay. I was training a lot and focusing on my powers too. We will see…" he shrugged. "I want to make you happy and proud of me... and able to keep you safe."

Kerim had to chuckle from what Mick said about Jim and nodded in agreement. "Well... at least he doesn't need Seth's blood anymore and who could blame him? Paolo is cute and very skilled..." he wiggled his brows, coming off more like his usual positive and goofy self instead of the more withdrawn and anxious one he's been lately.

"It's good to hear though that Jim will be okay. For a while the Gods were worried about him, but being mated to Paolo will do even more good to him. They are both growing now," he hummed. "I wonder just how strong they could get... The sky the limit because Jim is a Nephilim?" he mused more to himself then gave a sweet smile to his man. "I'm already proud of you. And I'll try not to be too reckless so you and the Gods can keep me safe," he added, even if they both knew that during a battle that was going to be quite difficult. Plus Kerim could fight well too.

"You know Paolo and his skill well, huh?" Mick raised a brow and pulled his angel to him. "You are very kind to keep us in your mind baby," he breathed into the lean neck. Licking it and pecking the slightly goose bumped skin. "I think as much as they f... mate... Jim can evolve into anything. A cosmic deity even," he puffed his words to the wet skin and giggled. "What do you think? Remember the time you had mercy on this table?"

"I had the... pleasure to get a taste of his skills, yes..." Kerim admitted as his eyes rolled back in his head and he gasped for air as he bared his neck to Mick. He even forgot to chuckle about the joke as more goose bumps covered his pale flesh, making his nipples harden under his tight tee.

"You want me to finally f... mate with you on the table? If we break it, I'll make you fix it with your own hands!" he warned, his chuckle turning into a moan as his hand stroked up on a thick thigh and found the nice bulge between them.

"Hmm... I can fix many things with my own hands. Can you fu...fix me too, my strict little angel?" the demon moaned and gently bit the tasty neck.

Parting his legs to make Kerim touch his jeans-trapped hardness more. "Just so that we… are not going to get behind in evolving and things compared to them," he tilted his head and giggled, pressing a long passionate kiss to the little lips.

"I think there's nothing to stop us in that... and in catching up with the others..." Kerim murmured against Mick's wet lips, his palm rubbing him just the right way. "The poor half-eaten dinner, though... As much as it would be a classic move to wipe everything off the table, I don't want to waste your fantastic cooking, so... just a sec..." he grinned, pecking the tip of the demon's nose before he was suddenly taking their plates and the bread to the counter.

Then he pulled Mick up so he could press his slimmer and smaller body against his for another kiss. While their tongues were playing with each other, his slender hands got busy with undressing them. Just thinking of fucking Mick again made him throb in his pants too as it's been a while now and he just loved how much the big bad electric demon could fall apart during those times...

Once they were both completely naked, Kerim grinned up at his hazy-eyed man, lightly slapping his ass. "Up on the table then, my horny beast..."

Giving out a grumbling moan just to be very beast-like, Mick crawled up on the table and laid on his back. He kept his already sparkling eyes on his pair and breathing deeply and heavily, he caressed his chest and belly, waiting on what Kerim would do with him...

As the angel watched his big man do as he was told, his smile turned into a dirty smirk. It felt like a déjà vuprobably for both of them. The first time they were in this position, it was just after the orgy in the mated Gods' chamber and after Corey's merging with Jim. That day was when their relationship has really started. And it felt like an eternity ago to the angel.

This time he didn't take his hairband out as he stepped to the table by Mick's side and leaned down to kiss and suck on a dark nipple, his hand going down to take hold of and gently massage the nice shaft, his own jumping a bit from feeling just how hard Mick already was for him.

"You are such a gorgeous man of your species..." Kerim puffed against the erect nipple before biting it and moving downwards with his kisses and light bites.

The demon's breath hitched and he moaned loud and long. He loved just how perfectly their playful nature clicked with Kerim. And loved it even more when his wifey let it all loose on him...

"You know a lot from my species... Thanks to the first one who called me over…" he tried to joke but his words died in a pleased groan.

"I know more about you than your species, to be honest..." Kerim grinned up at Mick as he opened and pushed up the meaty thighs to step between them. "For example, I know that running my fingertips on the back of your thighs makes your legs tremble with lust and your skin break out in goose bumps... and start to charge with your electricity," he said doing just that and watching the mentioned reactions manifest.

"I also know that you love me sucking on your dick..." Kerim continued and without much ceremony he simply slid half of said meat into his mouth, making sure to rub the small ball of his lip piercing all along the sensitive spots on the underside of Micks cock.

To that sparks literally flew around the trembling demon. Lifting his hips off the table he tried to push his throbbing cock deeper into the hot mouth of his angel. "Please, please my love…" he could only mumble that. His hands were in fists and his heavy arms were flexing as he wanted to touch Kerim but wasn't sure that he was allowed.

Kerim slid off the tasty cock and chuckled up at Mick. "You can touch me, my beautiful demon," he gave him the permission as he felt what Mick was thinking of. "You can even fuck my face. I know you are dying to..." he winked at him then sucked an even bigger portion of him back between his lips. Meanwhile his fingers caressed the heavy balls a few times then they slid right behind them to gently caress the stretch of skin between them and Mick's hole, knowing that it could drive him crazy too.

"You're the best…" Mick breathed and caressed the silky hair, moaning. Moving against Kerim's rubbing fingers a little, he then held the head of the angel and slowly pushed as deep as he could into his mouth. Groaning like a beast, making even drowning huffs as he started to move his hips faster and faster. He was hitting the back of Kerim's throat as he was fucking his mouth and pulling his head onto his leaking cock.

The angel just loved this. Each time he was with Mick and close to his darkness, he felt alive and loved unconditionally. He caressed the thick thighs with his hands as he let Mick fuck his throat, making Kerim swallow and even cough a bit around the thick meat.

Then after a while he grabbed his wrists and freed his head just to move lower, licking along his balls then lapped at his hole with delight, soon pushing and swirling his tongue in it. As he looked up, he admired the view for a while then sucked his slender fingers into his own mouth to slick them up. Suckling on a heavy ball, the kinky angel soon began pushing first one then two fingers into the hungry hole.

Mick arched his back and pushed against the invading fingers. The small electric charges got stronger on his skin and he breathed deep and gave himself to his pair's mercy. His big hand was still caressing Kerim's head lovingly and tried to beg for more through their bond.

The angel moaned his approval, enjoying the small charges running up on his skin too and he worked a third finger into his man, moving and curling them until they were sliding in Mick with ease and could rub against his most sensitive spots. He just loved watching the big man falling apart in front of him.

To add to his pleasure, his pierced mouth found its way back around the hard cock and he worked him well until he was getting close to his orgasm.

So close Mick started to protest and gripped the long dark hair stronger, trying not to move in synch with Kerim's evil, evil strokes and sinful lips… Not with much success, though... "Please stop. I... I want to feel you take me as yours... Please, my angel…" he moaned with great desperation in his voice.

Kerim shivered pleasantly from that voice and begging, making his own shaft ooze more drops at the tip. Still, evilly he didn't stop until Mick was right there and slowed down just to keep him there for a good minute before he chuckled and finally pulled his fingers out of his man. Climbing up on the table, he leaned down to steal a kiss and grinned into Mick's flushed face.

"I love the way you beg for me... Now... let's make sure my dick is slick enough for you." And with that he crawled further up on the wide body, straddling Mick's chest until he could help lift the head of his love and guide his tip between the soft lips.

He didn't have to say it twice. Mick was sucking on the offered hard meat with eagerness as if his life depended on giving the best and most throughout blowjob to Kerim.

His hands were roaming on the warm skin above him, pulling his pair closer by his round ass to practically sit on his face and thrust deeper into his throat. Which he also enjoyed and let his deep groans resonate loudly around the tasty meal of his.

"To all the angels and demons..." Vega moaned, leaning on a hand then he decided that grabbing the edge of the table with it would be a better way to keep him from shaking apart. He always loved when Mick was sucking on him so enthusiastically so he kept his other hand on his man's nape and made his hips roll back and forth smoothly but a bit faster. The hands on his ass only made his skin glow a bit brighter and his moans louder. 

It would've been so easy to just simply come down on the demon's throat, but before he could do that, he pulled his glistening cock out of the hot mouth. He was panting too as he crawled down on the big body again, engaging the red lips in a passionate kiss while he positioned himself and without much more teasing, he began pushing into his hubby, moaning into their kiss.

The big hands stayed on the angel's ass and when he finally was where Mick wanted him the most, they pushed and gripped onto the well-shaped butt.

The demon let out a weak dying out whining moan. He was already trembling for his man. He was always so lost in Kerim when he was on the receiving end of their playtime... He never felt so strongly the need to surrender his will and open up and merge together like with the angel.

His thick thighs moved to let Kerim closer to him, moving his hips in small circles to feel that wonderful cock deeper in him.

Kerim broke the kiss and moaned his approval onto Mick's moist lips, his ass flexing faster as he got deeper and deeper until he was fucking his man with long hard strokes, making the table creak a bit under them.

"You feel so good each time... I love you..." he breathed and moved his lips to Mick's thick neck to kiss and suck and bite it, knowing how much it could drive his pair wild.

"I love you so much too..." the demon moaned his reply and turned his head to let Kerim chew on his neck more easily and hopefully harder too. His skin sparked with electricity all over, the little bolts running up on his angel’s body too. Just when he felt the need to become one with that amazing creature of light, his power seemed to pull Kerim even more to his very core.

Being happy and satisfied from the big man's reply, Kerim bit harder – just like he felt Mick would want it – and also hammered against that sweet spot faster once he found the perfect angle. He just loved all the electricity sparkling around and on them, making his light react more and more as it welcomed Mick's familiar energy, feeding on it and also feeding it in return.

His own moans and groans were getting louder and more frequent too as they were chasing the high in which their very cores could melt together. To reach that faster, Kerim let loose of his angel light, coaxing more of his man’s darkness out of him.

Mick's body shook and tensed up as the pure light rushed through his body. His own dark energies, spiced with all that highly charged small lightnings, got looser too and met the light and dissolved into it. Making the demon moan weakly from the warmth and pleasure spreading over his whole body and soul. The perfect precise attack against his prostate also pushed him closer to the end on a physical level.

As their powers were mixing more and more, Kerim kept moving, one hand reaching up to caress Mick's horns then down to his beard. He lifted his head and looked into the electric blue eyes which looked lighter, nearly white by then. The angel smiled down at his man, his brilliant white wings spreading over them like a protective and warm shield.

"Come on, baby... Give yourself fully to me so I can give myself fully to you..." he whispered, propping his forehead against Mick's while caressing his face and never stopping with his deep thrusts.

The horned devil melted under the light and warmth of his angel. As his own powers fully surfaced, his coal black wings appeared too. The leather edges were touching the pure light feathers as he huffed and groaned, caressing Kerim's nape and neck lost in the dark eyes. As their powers melted into one, it started to build up to an explosion of their united cores.

It didn't take long for his body to give in to all the sensations. He felt the same pressure push his being over its limits and into the endless bliss of light. And then his body tensed, holding his pair painfully close to himself as all the energy of them both blasted out of them, managing to rush over the building like a shockwave as he came hard and loud, taking his other half with him.

Kerim too was dissolving in that explosion as their spirits merged on a higher spiritual level than ever before. It was so very intense that they both needed a few minutes to come down, still entangled and physically one.

Panting for air, he kissed his perfect man then looked into the hazy and glowing eyes. "Your eyes... they are nearly completely white..." he murmured, caressing Mick's brow and temple, just admiring the sight.

"Really? You outdone yourself with this mating thing now. Table is stronger than I thought too," Mick joked still panting for air. "I feel... different... And very much yours and love you…" he added and pulled his wifey down for a kiss.

"I've learned during the long years of my existence that a strong table is a must when you have someone special in your life..." Kerim chuckled after the kiss their shared and stole a few more for himself just because he could.

"Different like how?" he asked curiously as they were just resting out their intense mating there. "I am yours too, you know. And love you very, very much, no matter what," he whispered, playing with Mick's black hair.

"Like... my electric power usually withdraws after we came… Now I feel it stronger than ever. And like... it always felt like a thing that I have to master. Now it feels that power is fully a part of me, not alien... natural like... breathing…" Mick said slowly as he was thinking hard how to voice his new senses and feelings.

"This was probably the... 'higher' mating you needed to fully transform then," Kerim beamed down at his man then gently pulled out of him just to kiss him again. "I love the new eyes, though. You must feel like I do with my Light. You feel even more powerful than before and I'm sure you'll be able to protect Jim... and me..." here he rolled his eyes with a smirk "even better.”

"Come, check your eyes out before we take a shower then tomorrow you could try out if there's a significant difference in your powers too. Your electric charges felt as if they have changed a bit while they were running through me."

"Yeah it could be…" Mick murmured and followed Kerim to the bathroom.

Wrapping his arms around his pair from behind, they both looked into the big mirror.

"Wow... It is almost fully white. And have a little hue too. Just a hint of my blue irises in the bright white... See the small sparks too?" Mick whispered in utter shock of his reflection. He really did feel more powerful and also in control of this force more noticeably throbbing under his skin. "My horns are not fully vanished...” he mused. "Gonna start wearing sunglasses outside if it stays... That looks cool anyway," he giggled and pressed a kiss into Kerim's neck.

"I think both the eyes and horns are hot," Kerim grinned from ear-to-ear, finding Mick cute like hell as he observed himself. He closed his dark eyes and purred softly from the kiss in his neck, his round butt pressing against his man.

"My complete opposite... Now in our eye-colors too. Yet we are connected so beautifully..." the angel added, caressing Mick's thick arms around his naked middle.

"Hmmm... Wanna be connected more under the shower? Just for experimental reasons, of course… To see what happens after this with my eyes and all and if you are going to get brighter or something... I'm so into science and transmutation today…" Mick chuckled as he kept kissing and biting the tasty neck while he navigated the other man into the shower, giggling and stumbling.

"Science is... important.... We can learn a lot from it," Kerim nodded a few times, his breathing already becoming a bit shallower as he agreed with that to Mick's suggestion. "And as you know... I'm all about learning new things..." he giggled too and opened the tap, gasping for air from the first cold water, his pale and slightly glowing skin breaking out in goose bumps, but Mick's big body kept him warm from behind...

And soon he got even warmer as Mick showed him from behind just how deeply he could connect with him...

*** 

Only one night was left till the portal opening. Paolo was sort of anxious, which was really not his nature at all otherwise. He took a longer curve to walk back to his house and to Jim from the cave where the new legion now rested, ready to be called anytime.

The little extra time he had, he tried to deal with the questions that kept bubbling up in his mind. He knew better than to give into doubt. Especially as things considering his end worked out well.

He was more worried about everyone leaving. Except Sotiris, of course... And he somehow knew with his foreseeing sense that they will stay outside and many complications were ahead of the little group...

Not far away the angel's pair wasn't that calm either. It was caused by tension and trying to mentally prepare for what lie ahead of all them. Jim loved living under the protective power of the Gods, but he also knew it was never to last for long. It was a Sanctuary, yes, but it could eventually fall too if they don't do something about what was going on in the already messed up outside world.

As the only known awakened and fully transformed Nephilim, Jim was going to have a big part in that. And it was a bigger and more important task than he ever had to do...

While waiting for Paolo to get back, he figured that making some dinner for them would distract him for a while, but that wasn't the case. Instead he thought back on his whole life. From where he started and where he was now. All the losses, but also all the gains crossed his mind.

He has changed a lot from the low-life criminal biker and drug addict, he knew. And he also knew that he couldn't hold back when it will come to fighting their enemies. He was kinda... looking forward to that. Although at times he had his doubts about himself and his abilities, thanks to the memory of his Corey believing in him, Paolo's growing love and reassuring presence and all the help of the others made him feel ready to face his fate.

"Hmm… Something smells good… You cooked or just smell yummy for me yourself?" Paolo grinned as he walked in and hugged his tall man from behind. He laid his head to the long back to just enjoy the energies and closeness of his pair. "You're worried too. I can feel it. It is our last meal here... You know that too?" he asked quietly with a sigh.

Jim's serious expression eased up right away and he chuckled under his blond mustache, leaning back into the hug. It felt very good for him too to have his pair close again. "If you think I smell like burgers on a daily basis then I think something's wrong with your nose," he said, flipping the last ones, letting Paolo rest against his back.

"Yeah..." he sighed too, his voice becoming more serious and quiet. "I feel it too. That's why I made you burgers again. Thought it would be just fitting in a way as it kinda started with that and now will also kinda end with it, you know..." he murmured, sliding a big hand on the arms around his middle while the other switched off the stove.

"I'm worried about everyone, the world, but most of all about you... I love you," he said, still staring in front of him, his words heavy with meaning. He was... very afraid that something would happen to Paolo too...

Paolo let go of his man to turn and face him. "I love you so much too... I will be alright. You won't lose me, baby… I’ve survived a lot so far," he smiled and raised himself on his toes to pucker his lips and ask for a kiss. "Plus have a legion of cute war demons to protect me too. And of course, the mighty Nephilim himself," he giggled trying to ease up the mood a little bit. They will face dark times enough…

The tall biker couldn't resist that sight of course, and he smiled under all that facial hair just to lean down and steal a peck from the offered lips, tattooed arms going around and holding his mate close. It was crazy just how well they fitted. Sometimes it still amazed him.

"I'll keep you to that promise and will tan your ass if you break it!" he warned with a giggle of his own before giving him a proper breathtaking and deep kiss. "So... How are the kids?" he suddenly broke it, whispering onto the wet lips, mismatched eyes having a playful glint as Jim enjoyed the effects his kiss was having on Paolo.

"Whaaaa..?" Paolo breathed back. His mind once again was completely blown by that sensual deep kiss Jim could always give him. "Oh. The kiddos..." he giggled as slowly his brain cells came back from the euphoria. "They are very ready!" he grinned proud letting his man go and glimpsing at the food on the counter. Giving meaningful looks at Jim...

"We took them out a few times to Seth's labyrinth. To face some almost real battle. Well... the smaller Khazra can be very hard to beat, to be fair. Especially the ones Seth uses with his spell and keep reviving..."

Jim just giggled cutely from those reactions. He just couldn't get bored of messing with Paolo like this. Not that the short angel wouldn't have the very same effects on him...

"Alright, alright, put your sexy ass down..." Jim snorted while lightly slapping said ass before turning back towards the counter. "Teaching and overseeing the kids' progress doesn't just make you leave your poor other half in his awful loneliness but also seems to make you starve for food. Hm, at least I cannot fuck up burgers..." he mused, putting the burgers together next to the fries and salad. "But I'm very pleased that they are ready. Those Khazra beasts are scary and strong as shit," he cringed a bit, remembering their encounter with them in the labyrinth then put the plates down on the table.

"Eat up, baby. I still have plans with you. I have a feeling it's gonna be a long night as it'll be the last for a while when we can enjoy such food and a comfy bed..."

"Oh yummy…" Paolo grinned at the food and took a bite. "And yes. They are strong as shit..." he continued after he swallowed. "But the kids are really strong too and very tricky with their skills. You will see. They are really very, very good warriors. Plus they are cute and love us..." he chuckled eating some more. "And how are you with your training? Made friends with the horses?" he asked as that was also a worry for the angel. How Jim will do without his bike and on a demon horse...

"I can't wait to see them in real life and in action. You guys were quite secretive about them and their training. I know you had to establish a strong bond with them and all. I could only see and feel glimpses of them. You think they will like... like me too? I'm just curious," Jim mused while munching on a fry.

"My training was... okay. I didn't fall off. Not once. Which I consider progress. Yes, I still miss my bike and wish I could go on that, but my horse is less temperamental than the rest. So kinda proud of our progress too," Jim shrugged then grinned. "You should have seen Mick's face when he tried to make his horse go to the left but it didn't move a muscle. It was like that for like... two minutes but it was all so worth it!" Jim giggled and finally started stuffing his face with his burger too.

"Yeah... demon horses are as intelligent as humans. Maybe some even more... Mick has to be in synch with the horse and treat him as his equal. But it must have been funny," he giggled imagining the scene. "These beasts walk without sound and are fast. And will be more useful than motorbikes… Sorry babe..." he reached out to rub Jim's long thigh under the table as a consoling gesture.

"Well... Kerim explained that to us too and eventually Mick seemed to accept that," Jim continued, smiling at his pair for trying to console him. "Don't worry, I'll survive without a bike too. Maybe once all this is over, I could take you for a ride. Just the two of us, hm?" he winked at Paolo, but he meant it seriously.

"Sounds just as good as the rides you are taking me to nowadays," Paolo winked back with a dirty smirk, his sneaky hand slowly sliding upper on Jim's thigh, underlining the hint in his voice.

To that Jim's hazel eyes changed colors and he growled approvingly as he enjoyed the naughty touch, never breaking the eye-contact. He just loved how Paolo was just as kinky and insatiable like he was.

"I think it's time for one of those rides then... So we don't get out of practice," he grinned wide and grabbed the sneaky hand to place it on his growing bulge. Clearly, they were done with eating for now...
