Chapter 2


The music, the people and the rest of the club faded away into the background as Xander looked down at the small man through hooded eyes. Nathaniel’s eyes were half closed with only a slitter of purple visible through horizontal slits. Nathaniel panted slightly through parted lips that were swollen from the force of the kiss. The wereleopard stood on wobbly legs and his body lay limply in Xander’s embrace. The sight was so erotic that Xander felt a surge of desire course through his veins. It was absolutely thrilling to finally give in to his desires without being inhibited by his own insecurities. The last time Xander had felt this way was during high school when the hyena spirit had taken over his body.

The malignant forces of the Hellmouth had a negative effect on the hyena spirit and only enhance its thirst for blood and chaos. None of Xander’s friends, not even Willow, knew all his dark secrets and desires. They didn’t know how much Xander and the hyena reveled in the violence during their nightly patrols. He craved it so much that sometimes it wasn’t enough to patrol with the others and he would go out on his own so that he could lose himself in the euphoric feeling of hacking and sometimes tearing demons apart with his bare hands. Nor did they know about all the disturbing dreams filled with blood, sex and gore. They would be horrified if they knew how much he enjoyed the violence and chaos.

All those years of suppressing his dark urges and subsequently the hyena had finally taken its toll. She was fighting…no demanding to be let out and she wasn’t taking no for an answer. Xander couldn’t fight her anymore and he wasn’t to sure if he wanted to because he wanted Nathaniel almost as badly as she did. Xander was so tired of denying himself of what he really wanted. He had done it his whole life. Xander was always the last to be chosen, the one left out or ignored. He was always the one to compromise. He was the perpetual loser, sidekick, lackey and best friend; never the hero, leader and lover. He was Zeppo. Well not anymore. It was time for him to finally take what he wanted. It was time to let the hyena play.

Xander smiled manically at Nathaniel’s flush face. The boy looked like he had been thoroughly kissed and for some reason that amused Xander a great deal. His broad shoulders shook as he started to snicker. It started as a rumble in his chest and made its way to his throat. The sound grew louder until it sounded like a cross between a cackle and a high pitch giggle. There was something disturbing about that laugh. It just wasn’t quite human.

Xander crushed Nathaniel’s firm body to him and the hysterical giggling drowned in the were-leopard’s mouth as Xander’s lips smashed against his. The kiss was hard and intense. It was anything but gentle as Xander used a combination of teeth, tongue and lips. He grazed his blunt teeth over Nathaniel’s lower lip and bit it lightly before he sucked it greedily into his mouth. Nathaniel’s hot little mouth was so sweet that Xander wanted to eat him alive. When he had finished thoroughly exploring every crevice of Nathaniel’s mouth he trailed small wet kisses along his jaw until his face was buried in the hollow of his throat. Xander kissed, sucked and nibble along Nathaniel’s sweaty flesh until the man’s body hummed with pleasure.

Nathaniel’s head fell back giving the older man better access to his long graceful neck. He almost came in his pants when Xander clamped his blunt teeth hard over his adam’s apple and his pelvis involuntary bumped against Xander in response. It was amazing how the other man seemed to immediately know exactly what Nathaniel liked. The wereleopard craved the pain as much as the pleasure and very few of his partners knew how to balance the two. But Xander instinctually knew just how much would make Nathaniel scream with pleasure and he began to shiver in anticipation of the other man’s touch.

Xander’s large hands roamed up and down Nathaniel’s body until they settled on the wereleopard’s tight round ass and he kneaded the flesh underneath his greedy fingers. The delicious friction they were generating as their bodies continued to rub against each other felt good. But it wasn’t enough and Xander squeezed Nathaniel’s jean clad behind, lifting him slightly so that their pelvis met. The position was slightly awkward, forcing Nathaniel who was shorter than Xander to stand on the balls of his feet and. The wereleopard huffed in annoyance, gripped Xander’s broad shoulders and with a quick bounce wrapped his long legs around the taller man’s waist. Xander grunted in approval at the new position and moved his hands to support the smaller man’s weight. Once Xander had a firm grip on Nathaniel’s legs they slowly began to grind their pelvises against each other as they continued to kiss passionately.

Jason, Stephen and Gregory opened their mouths in shock as sweet shy submissive Nathaniel literally jumped the man with dark curly hair. At first they thought it was kind of cute the way Nathaniel pined over the handsome dark stranger and they had encouraged him to ask the man to dance. But there was nothing innocent or cute about the way they were dry humping each other on the dance floor. Jason didn’t expect them to get alone ‘that’ well but judging by the amount of pheromones in the air they really, really liked each other. He could practically smell their arousal from across the room and it lay thick and heavy in the air. Jason had to admit that he was enjoying the show immensely but if he didn’t put stop to it soon they would probably in up fucking each other in the middle of the club.

“Wow, that is so hot,” exclaimed Stephen when he had finally gotten over the shock of their Nathaniel jumping on some random guy.

“I know. I didn’t think Nathaniel had it in him. Go Nathaniel!” agreed his twin brother Gregory who was a wereleopard in Nathaniel’s pard. He had never seen Nathaniel acted like that before. Next to Cherry, Nathaniel was the most submissive member of their pard.

“Well come on. We better put a stop to it before they wind up butt naked on the floor,” said Jason resignedly as he got up from the table and pulled out a couple of bills to pay for their drinks. He hated to break up Nathaniel’s fun but it was getting late and he had promised Anita he would have Nathaniel back home by one. Damn it. He hated being the responsible one.

“Aww…do we have too?” whined both Gregory and Stephen at the same time.

“Well yeah. Unless you want to explain to Anita why we let Nathaniel do it with some stranger he met in a club,” smirked Jason.

Gregory grimaced at that thought and waved Jason on. “Good point. Lead on.”

The trio slowly made their way across the club and stop just short of the oblivious couple who were to busy trying to devour each other to notice that they now had an audience. Jason stood behind Nathaniel while the twins flanked his side. He cleared his throat in attempt to get their attention and when that didn’t work Jason placed his hand on Nathaniel’s shoulder and shook him slightly as he called out his name. “Nathaniel, it’s time to go.”

Nathaniel tore his lips from Xander’s mouth and gasped for air as Xander continued to do delicious thing to his neck. He stared dazedly at the werewolf’s face with his brow creased in confusion as his lust laden mind try to comprehend what Jason had said. “Huh?” asked Nathaniel finally.

Jason smiled in amusement at the bewildered look on Nathaniel’s face. The wereleopard was completely out of it. “Nathaniel, it’s time to go,” smirked Jason.

“No,” growled Xander in annoyance as he wrapped his arms possessively around Nathaniel’s slim waist.

“Sorry pal, but Anita will have my hide if I don’t get Nathaniel home soon,” offered Jason apologetically.

Xander’s eyes flashed green and he bared his teeth threateningly at Jason. Xander didn’t like the fact that the other man was trying to take Nathaniel away from him. The hyena had claimed the boy as her own and she wasn’t going to let anyone take him away. “No! Mine!” snarled Xander threateningly as he pulled Nathaniel protectively away form the werewolf’s reach.

Jason and the twins reeled back at the man’s possessive behavior. The stranger wasn’t human but he didn’t feel like a shifter. In fact if it wasn’t for the huge amount of power that was rolling off him Jason would have thought he was human. ‘Man Nathaniel could sure pick them,’ thought Jason exasperatedly as he watched the stranger warily.

“Let Nathaniel go,” demanded Jason as Stephen and Gregory took defensive positions around the stranger, cutting off all avenues of escape.

Xander stood still, face expressionless as he quietly watched the three men surround him. Internally Xander was anything but calm as he battled with the hyena for control. But she slipped past his barriers and lashed out.

Suddenly Jason, Stephen and Gregory were assaulted by an invisible force and they recoiled from the surprisingly vicious attack. By the time they got back on their feet Xander and Nathaniel were gone.

“Oh shit! Anita is going to kill us!” exclaimed Jason in fear.
