Chapter 8

Xander woke up with a pounding headache. He felt as if he went ten rounds with a Fyral demon and lost. He tried to lift his hand to his temple but for some reason he couldn’t move his arms. He reluctantly opened his eyes, blinking away the sleep that had crusted over eyelashes. It took him several moments for his eyes to focus in the dim lit room, but when his vision finally cleared his eyes widen in disbelief. He was lying spread eagle on the biggest bed he had every seen. His wrists and ankles were chained to four wooden posts that towered up to the high gothic ceiling with a cast iron chandelier hanging in the center. He was completely naked accept for the blood stained bandage wrapped around his chest. Nathaniel’s equally naked body was curled up against his side with one hand resting on this stomach and one leg thrown over his hips. The wereleopard sighed heavily in his sleep and his eyes moved under his eyelids as if he was dreaming.

It was like a scene out of some BDSM porno flick all the way down to midnight black silk sheets and silver chains. His mind race from one question to another. What happened, why was he chained to the bed and even more importantly where was his clothes? Xander pulled against the chains and hissed in pain when they rubbed against his bare skin. His flesh sizzled as if they were burned by acid and left the skin red and inflamed.

His jerky movements disturbed Nathaniel from his peaceful slumber. The wereleopard stretched his lean body against his side, curling his toes like a cat. His eyes fluttered open and soon those familiar purple eyes were focused on him. Xander flushed in embarrassment at his own nudity, but it was soon forgotten when he saw the sear relief washed over the redhead’s face when he realized that he was finally awake. Nathaniel propped himself on one elbow and leaned forward slightly so that Xander didn’t have to turned his head too much to face him. He placed one hand lightly over his stomach and rubbed small soothing circles into his skin, taking extra care not to disturb the bandage that covered his chest. Nathaniel’s touch was warm and comforting and he immediately calmed.

“How are you feeling?”

“Like crap,” admitted Xander honestly. “Where am I?”

“You were hurt so we brought you to the circus to heal?”

“So what’s with the chains? I know I’m new to the whole gay scene but this is just a bit too kinky for me,” he asked nervously.

“Anita wouldn’t let you stay unless we tied you down.”

“Well she’s sound like a charming woman,” said the dark-haired man sarcastically.

Nathaniel shrugged. “She’s not that bad really.”

“So is there any chance of you setting me free,” asked Xander hopefully.

Nathaniel’s eyes fell to his lap as he shock his head apologetically. “Sorry I can’t,” whispered the redhead as his fingers played nervously with the fine hair just below Xander’s navel. It tickled and a high pitch unmanly giggle escaped from his lips.

Nathaniel’s eyes widen in surprised. “You’re ticklish?”

“No I’m not,” denied Xander indignantly.

Nathaniel gave him a mischievous smile and raked his fingers lightly over his stomach.

The brunette’s lips twitched and his face turned bright red from the effort, but in the end he caved and a loud undignified snort followed by high pitch laughter erupted from his chest. Nathaniel climbed on top of him, bumping his already half erected cock against his as strong lean thighs straddled his hips. Xander’s cock swelled with interest, but his arousal soon turned into desperation as the wereleopard continued his assault on his poor defenseless body.

Xander twisted and turned in a futile attempt to get away from the wereleopard’s nibble fingers but he was trapped. Soon Nathaniel had him just were he wanted him, gasping and pleading him to stop in between bouts of unrestrained laughter.

“Please…Stop…Stop. It hurts.”

Nathaniel placed his hands on either side of his head as he bent over to press an apologetic kiss over his lips. Soon the giggling turned into moans as Xander took him hungrily in his mouth. Their play had left him painfully aroused and he strained against the bonds as his body surged upward in a desperate attempt to get closer to the warm naked body hovering so tantalizing above him. The metal shackles rubbed raw painful circles around his wrist, but he didn’t care. The pain was nothing compared to the pleasure he experienced at Nathaniel’s touch.

Nathaniel broke the kiss and swallowed a huge gulp of air before he dove in for more. This time the wereleopard’s vigor matched his own and soon they were both panting with desire. Nathaniel nipped playfully along his throat and Xander’s head fell back in frustration as the wereleopard slowly trailed hot wet kisses from his chest to his stomach, creating a blazing path down the center of his body. Then his head snapped back up when he felt that wonderful tongue dipped into his navel, circling his belly button with the tip of his pink tongue. The wereleopard laved the area lovingly with the flat of his tongue and a groan of appreciation escaped from the brunette’s mouth. His painfully swollen cock bumped against Nathaniel’s chin as if to get his attention and Xander growled with pleasure as a wisp of long auburn hair brushed over the sensitive pulsing flesh. His eyes darken as he watched his mouth worked its way slowly down to his groin, moving at an excruciating snail-like pace lower and lower.

But before he could reach his goal someone cleared their throat and Xander groaned with frustration at the sight of Jason, Anita and another older woman with pepper grey hair standing at the door. Jason was grinning at them like a loon. While the older woman’s face was impassive, her eyes were unusually bright with mirth. Anita however looked completed un-amused. Her face was dark and the look she gave him sent chills down his spine.

“Oh, I’m next,” chirped Jason as he hopped onto the bed on all fours, heedless to their nudity as his sky blue eyes raked shamelessly over Xander’s nude form as if it was a new carnival ride.

Xander swallowed nervously and squirmed in the bed trying his best to hide himself from prying eyes without the use of his hands. Sensing his discomfort Nathaniel threw a sheet over his waist and the larger man smiled at him gratefully as the wereleopard pulled on a pair of pants. Once everyone was sufficiently covered Anita and Lillian entered the room.

Lillian approached the bed and pressed the stereoscope that was hanging from her neck to his chest. “Ah, I didn’t expect you to regain conscious so soon. But why should I be surprise. By all accounts you should be dead.”

“What happen? Did I pass out?” asked Xander curiously. Everything was so fuzzy. All he could remember was pain and then everything went black.

“You don’t remember?” asked Nathaniel in concern.

“No. The last thing I remember was this big muscle-head jerk talking down to you,” said Xander angrily. He had never been so angry before and just thinking about left a bad taste in his mouth. The Hyena stirred at the memory and a few broken images flashed in his mind, but none of them made any sense.

Jason, Anita and Lillian gave each other a worried look. It seems that things just got even more complicated. “Oh well um… you didn’t exactly pass out,” admitted Jason after a long awkward moment.

“What do you mean?” asked Xander nervously. They all were looking at him funny and it was making him extremely uncomfortable. What was wrong with him? Oh god was he dying, did he had some horrible disfiguring disease?

“Well you did pass out but only after you got shot,” shrugged Jason finally.

“What!” yelled the dark-haired man in shock.

“Well it’s a long story.”
