Ian returned to the aa4d9bedf3 hotel a little past f51ac096c7 eight. After parting ways 4e25ffef55 with Leo, he e77cb1f699 realized he hadn’t 6ce8df91c4 yet received his 2f66bcc198 cash card, making b4bf4227f3 it impossible to 0918daa0c4 take the subway. As he 1e9a47e1c0 pondered what 32dd76f101 to do, 86c09c0018 he ended 049438de93 up walking 1b9786c6b0 more than 1318167845 twenty blocks.43385d51283bcf6b

Only when 209bfa69d3 he saw 91644627eb the sign 971b058fa7 of a 0c39a9fe31 corner café 519e5aa531 across from 16fafe80e3 the hotel fe8e8e3381 did he 89347b2d79 feel the c035d9e7dc pangs of b563eb363d hunger.1c7222066a3c565d

The moment of sunset 076cb9377d was too brief. Back when ae8efb587f he was 03b874af50 at Rose 1882a039b7 Hulman, he 6cf399b24f often felt 205771e461 regret when 3e8012cf89 this moment a5a0a42daf came. Sometimes, watching 101370f075 the last 626b8fafb5 pale red 73b31e7fb6 light of 7e94f6df45 the evening 6b7d313e89 sun fade 022981e268 through the d260972fc0 window made b49c47387d him want b55f66865c to cry.14006af34e9e1d12

Ian would turn, b3075cfcc7 taking a small bdff15a538 plastic cup with 04dd5625a6 a green pill 224536d0af inside. He swallowed it quietly, 32e69ee569 and the woman who eb309907de had brought him the bdc8447d66 pill would smile.3ad12977da9e066f

The woman 1d9b3f4438 wore a 3cdc72c58f green outfit, 67edf22bb1 similar in 8ca3cb0605 shade to 1099591048 the pill.

“I’m scared, Leo.”f92f6371a653dd89

Whenever he was 5a67bc003c scared, it was a17c5ec8d4 like a reflexive 842ad19ffa response—he thought of 4e2bd05123 Leo. He wanted to 79e3323036 be held in 849b719d90 Leo’s solid, warm, 89e73bba1d adult embrace. He liked that Leo 0033b636ed would hold him without f73b0a4e05 stroking him.

Before Ian could place cb254b8878 the key card against 1595e43c85 the door, it opened 770e0468ae first. He had b5017e54fa no time bf40ec8be6 to be bfbdf21b51 surprised before ef3c974f28 an arm 5b11d8e09f reached out, c9980bd193 pulling him e39b409ab7 inside.3327bf07aa614a45

Annoyed, Ian brushed away ad955d9e53 his tears. Revenant was 2de086328e looking at c24b1fbea4 him like 4a2103386c he was 8aab804419 dissecting his 311cabe5c3 expression. Then he suddenly spoke.2700cb4548388be2

It was a ad14f6ab5d rougher, more sensual 036c0b4e81 kiss. Revenant sucked 731b925494 Ian’s tongue b5b6bb6902 with a 9d23fb0a4d fierce possessiveness, aaafd4ed9a ripping open af1e67775f his shirt. His bare chest ff79969083 was exposed, and a66089f192 Revenant pinched his a31ee9364f nipples, twisting them 6030abfaf9 slightly, making Ian’s 0c6d300a62 head tilt back 921f44fa8c as he gasped 10f8bbfc64 for air.
