Sabien scooped Aubrey off the table and lowered onto the couch. Their lips barely parted for Aubrey to gasp and mewl before their mouths fused again in wanton desperation. 

Heat flooded Sabien’s veins and his ears roared from the rush. Aubrey scrambled onto Sabien’s lap and straddled him. They both groaned when their bulges pushed into the other. The base of Sabien’s spine tingled as he palmed Aubrey’s ass, rocking his hips. 

Their tongues battled for dominance. His face tingled beneath Aubrey’s touch. Aubrey’s slender fingers were light and tentative before cradling Sabien’s face, belying the primal display of their mashing mouths. 

“Fuck, Bree.” Sabien hissed, lifting his hand to fist Aubrey’s hair and breaking the kiss. “You’re so fucking sexy.” 

Aubrey whimpered, long dark lashes fluttering across his tanned cheeks. 

“The sounds you’re making.” Sabien growled, “I need to hear more from you.” 

Aubrey’s brows pinched together as if he were about to protest, but Sabien silenced him with another kiss. It was sloppy and open-mouthed. Brutal, even. He was punishing and desperate with his tongue, plunging it inside Aubrey’s mouth without giving him a chance to respond. 

Aubrey had to sit there and take it as Sabien devoured him. The needy sounds were driving Sabien wild as Aubrey writhed, rolling his hips against Sabien’s bulge. 

Sabien huffed, breaking away and trailing kisses down Aubrey’s throat. He lingered on Aubrey’s frenetically beating pulse, his gums burning with the overwhelming urge to sink his fangs inside Aubrey’s throat. Sabien held back, his teeth flat as he nibbled the sensitive skin. 

Aubrey whined and dropped his hands, clawing Sabien’s back. Sabien could hear Aubrey’s thundering heartbeats. Hear the blood rushing in a symphonic crescendo. 

With his chest heaving, Sabien raised his head to angle Aubrey’s face toward him, his large fist still gripping Aubrey’s long hair in a tight vise. 

The look on Aubrey’s face was a fucking work of art. His dark plum gaze was hooded and locked in a daze. His lips were slightly parted and swollen from the kiss. 

“Look at you,” Sabien murmured, “has anyone else seen you like  this?” 

Aubrey shook his head, his bottom lip quivering. 

“Good. I don’t think I’d like the thought of anyone seeing you desperate and wanting.” Sabien purred, pushing Aubrey’s hips harder against his erection. 

Aubrey cried out, and Sabien glanced down, admiring the rapid rise and fall of Aubrey's toned chest. He looked past Aubrey’s taut and quivering abdomen and saw Aubrey’s hard length pressing against him. He caught a glimpse of something bright and lacy beneath the waistband of Aubrey’s pants. 

“What the fuck are you wearing underneath that?” He growled. 

“None of your business,” Aubrey rasped. 

Sabien was a second away from shoving Aubrey’s pants down to see for himself when someone cleared their throat at the cabana’s entrance. 

Aubrey’s skin flushed, and Sabien banded an arm around Aubrey’s waist to stop Aubrey from leaving his lap.  

A server in a standard black and red uniform approached them with a tray of their drinks. They politely ignored the situation on the sofa and carefully put the drinks on the table. 

“Would you like me to clean that?” They asked, gesturing to the mess on the table. 

“No, thank you,” Sabien said as Aubrey hid his face in Sabien’s neck. 

“Okay then. Enjoy your evening.” They dipped their head and promptly exited the cabana. 

Sabien smirked, smoothing his hand down Aubrey’s hair. 

“They’re gone,” Sabien murmured. 

Aubrey shook his head, keeping his face hidden in the curve of Sabien’s neck. 

“Do you want to drink… or do you want to continue where we left off?” Sabien asked. 

Aubrey mumbled a response. Sabien grinned, hearing the words crystal clear. 

"Let me see you," Sabien said. 

Reluctantly, Aubrey leaned. His cheeks were dark red, and his eyes were clouded with lust. The expression on his face was locked between embarrassed and turned on. 

"Tell me again, this time louder." Sabien purred. 

Aubrey whimpered, and looked down, "I want...I want to keep going." 

Sabien was not a good person. He had every reason to avoid Aubrey--for his safety, and the fact that Sabien was a monster. He could rip Aubrey apart in all the ways, good and bad. However, killing Aubrey was not even a thought in Sabien's head. It was the pleasure he could give his little human. His destined partner and the one Sabien spent the last decade trying to run away from. 

The imploring look in Aubrey's eyes ruined him, and it was all it took for Sabien to make the wrong choice. Sabien could punish himself later. 

Humming, Sabien ran his fingers along the waistband of Aubrey's pants and tugged them down an inch. His eyes darkened immediately, and his nostrils flared from the indescribable lust taking over him. 

"What the fuck, Aubrey." It wasn't even a question. Sabien was engrossed by the thin strip of lavender lace clinging to Aubrey's hips. They disappeared beneath the fabric, skimming his flesh. Sabien pushed his hands underneath and spread his fingers out. A painfully needy sound rumbled in his throat when his fingertips brushed over the skimpy string lining Aubrey's crack. "Merde." Sabien cursed. 

"I like the way it feels on me, okay," Aubrey mumbled, causing Sabien's brain to short-circuit. 

He couldn't think anymore. He whirled around, and soon he had Aubrey sitting on the sofa. Sabien practically shucked off Aubrey's pants, sending it flying across the room. Aubrey yelped, a hand splayed across his chest and the other gripping the back of the couch as he arched his back, giving Sabien an almost pornographic view of his erection slipping out of the triangle of lavender silk on his crotch. 

Aubrey had a gorgeous dick and not a single trace of hair beneath his navel. Sabien didn't have a preference. He found Aubrey beautiful regardless, his mind reeling as he smoothed his hands up Aubrey's dusky thighs.

"This is the only time I'll say sorry. Once you give me the go, I won't stop until you have nothing left to come." Sabien promised. 

Aubrey nodded, panting. "I'll hold you to that." 

Sabien smirked.
