Lust and Chastity - 11. Chapter 11

The following morning saw a panicked teenager rushing over to Jack's house at an early, ungodly hour, to talk to a Unicorn.

"Lee'en, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, it just happened!" He babbled at the groggy Unicorn.

Lee'en had been half sprawled on Jack's form, but he blinked blearily at the platinum-haired human. "Fin?"

"I came! I didn't mean to." Fin continued.

For a wild moment, Lee' en hadn't the slightest clue what Finian was going on about. When he finally realized what he meant, the Unicorn took a long whiff. "Well, you're still a Virgin." He murmured out loud. "Was any part of Alistair's body still touching your ding dong when you came?"

"Um...no, he had just barely let go before I came." The human responded.

"Well, there you go," Lee'en concluded as if it all made perfect sense. "It doesn't count if there were no touchies and penetration."

When the teenager gave him a confused glance, the Unicorn let out a long sigh.

"Just think of it as masturbating." He elaborated. "You can cum, so long as it's by yourself or by your own hand, even if someone else starts you up."

"...so, we're still ok? I can still cross Jack over?" Fin asked.

"Mm-hmm," Lee responded. "Just be super careful until then, Alistair will have to suffer his blue balls for just two more months."

A rumpled Jack poked his head out of the covers. "Fin? The fuck...too early."

Finian visibly winced. "Sorry, Jack...it was a false alarm. You can go back to sleep now." That being said, he shuffled back out the door, closing it quietly behind him.

Lee'en signed into Jack's palm that everything was ok and cuddled closer before drifting back to sleep.

---

The final two months before his birthday flew by faster than Finian could have ever imagined. Alistair was kind enough to hold back for him so that they wouldn't go too far when it came to his tentative chastity, and the navy blue-eyed teen was going absolutely wild with excitement. Soon, it was the night before his 18th birthday. Fin had memorized Lee's address to give it to Alistair so that the Nightmare would meet up with them the following day, but the man refused.

"Are you sure that all you need is his name?" The human questioned.

Alistair wrapped his arms around Finian, holding him close, though careful to keep his budding erection to himself.

"I promise," the Nightmare reassured. "I will find his home, and you, easily." Alistair stroked Finian's alabaster cheek. "I'll always find you."

The teenager subconsciously leaned against the hand. "All this time waiting...I can't believe it's finally time. I can finally see your world. I can finally see you. The real you."

"I can't even put my feelings into words." Alistair pressed a gentle kiss to Fin's warm, soft lips. "I've never ached like this, wanted anything more than you by my side." The dark-haired man frowned slightly. "Are you sure about this Unicorn, Lee'en? I know I want a Unicorn to bring you and your friend over. They have a natural talent for it, for some reason. But I have other Unicorns that I fully trust that I could call upon."

A tender smile formed on Finian's face. "I trust Lee'en completely. This is the same Unicorn that healed me after Dale...after the incident at prom." He insisted. "And I know that Nightmares and Unicorns don't usually get along, but the two of you will get along, I just know it."

"I'm sure we will." Alistair fell back, taking the smaller human with him. They landed in a mound of soft pillows. "Have you had any trouble with that stinking pile of pixie taint that troubled you at your dance party?"

"No, after prom, he went through great lengths to avoid me." Fin mused out loud. "I don't even remember him sticking around long enough to be congratulated after graduation, either..."

Alistair's smile was cold. "I wonder if his dreams have been troubling him..." the Nightmare said under his breath.

"Did you say something?" Fin wondered, having not caught the murmur.

"I was just wishing it was tomorrow." Alistair's smile gentled. "I wish I could be there to meet you."

The human's grin widened. "I'll try my best not to count every second that passes until you ring the doorbell." He teased, despite the fact that he would surely be anxiously awaiting for the Nightmare's visit. "Do you guys even have doorbells?"

"In a sense. Regardless, I'll come over just as soon as I can get away." Alistair nuzzled Fin's warm temple. "But if I do it this way, then I'll have a few days where I can give you my attention." His eyes like cobalt jewel flashed. "My full and complete attention."

Fin's heart began to race. "I'd like that very much." He admitted. A thought bubbled to the surface of his mind, and he suddenly frowned. "I should warn you...since we've only ever talked and seen each other in the dreamscape, I would consider our physical meeting like a first meeting." He warned. "And I'm usually a nervous wreck upon first speaking with someone. I hope you don't mind."

"I can't imagine much you could do that I could mind," Alistair took Finian's small hand in his own, "except reject me. I don't know what I would do if you decided you didn't want me after you truly met me." The human teen saw something unexpected in Alistair's unnaturally blue eyes, doubt.

Finian's breath hitched. "You're not joking." He stated as soon as he realized it. "Alistair, I have a promise mark meant for you. You're the only one that's ever made me want to experience what an adult relationship could be like!" He confessed. "Please believe me. There is no one else, there could never be anyone else. I've already chosen you."

The Nightmare took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I love you, Finian."

The human began to blush, his heart giving a staggering thud in his chest. "I love you too, Alistair. Very much."

"I'm afraid to touch you too much," the Nightmare admitted with a self-deprecating chuckle. "I'm afraid I won't be able to stop, and I'll ruin your crossing tomorrow."

The blush began to spread down his neck and shoulders. "I-if you did ruin the crossing, I'd only have to wait for you to come get me yourself." He pointed out sheepishly. "However, I owe it to Jack to get him across. He really cares for Lee'en...and they're both like brothers to me, I want them to be as happy as I am."

"There are other ways if something went awry between now and your crossing." Alistair stroked Fin's soft platinum locks gently. "We'd find a way for you and your friend. I promise." The Nightmare continued idly petting his future mate. "But crossing as a chaste maiden with a Unicorn is the safest for both of you."

Finian tried desperately not to mewl in response to the gentle touches. He bit his lower lip and then reached over to give the Nightmare a hard kiss. The teen had intended for it to have been a quick kiss, but he couldn't help himself and began to gradually deepen it.

Alistair was just as helpless, his fingers sliding from Finian's hair to the back of his head to hold the human in the passionate kiss. The nightmare pressed himself forward, unable to hold back anymore. He pressed his hips forward, rubbing his hardening excitement against Fin.

Fin grinded desperately against him as his hands slid down the Nightmare's chest and then slid over Alistair's hips and up his back. He finally let out the mewl that he had been trying so hard to keep down.

"Alistair..." He whimpered.

"I want you so badly, love." Alistair's words were hot and desperate in Finian's ear. "I want to take you." He pressed himself hard against Fin. "I want to drive you to scream my name."

Shivers rolled down the blond's spine at the very idea of it. "You will, you'll have every last bit of me." He promised as his hands reached down to stroke and gently squeeze the Nightmare's shaft. "And I will shout out your name more times than you could ever imagine."

"I bet you'll take me so gracefully." Alistair rolled his hips, letting out a soft moan. "I'll be so deep inside you."

"Do you remember the first night you entered my dreams?" He prompted as he began to work the Nightmare's most sensitive spots along his shaft. "The scene you showed me of ourselves? We could try that one day..."

Alistair's breath hitched. "You would let me take you beneath me, on your hands and knees?" His hips pumped his eager cock harder into Finian's hands. "In that position, I could press very far inside you... Fill you with my cock and then my seed..." The thought made him throb under Fin's touch.

The teen's thumbs dug into the underside of the Nightmare's flesh as he moved faster. "Oh yes," He responded, a bit breathless at the very thought. "Though, I would much rather have you above me so that I could touch your dangling hair..."

A smile curled the Nightmare's lips. "You like my hair?"

Finian ignored the blush heating up his own face and continued to focus on the shaft in his hands. "I love your hair...it's beautiful. In spite of it being so long, it doesn't make you look feminine like it would on anyone else." He confessed.

"Sometime, perhaps I could lay you down on my bed and rub my hair all over your body," Alistair breathlessly suggested as he fought down his orgasm, wanting it to last. "Twine it around your manhood and stroke it..."

"Alistair!" He admonished as he alternated between slow strokes and fast ones. "If you keep saying such things, I'll end up soiling my pajamas again."

"I love when you cum." The nightmare licked his lips. "When I finally get you in my arms I'm going to exhaust you, love. We'll have to be careful, ah," Alistair's hips bucked. "To keep you hydrated."

Finian took in the sight of him. He was in love with the man, and he wasn't even human. At that moment, he didn't care about anything else in the world. In a bold and risky move, he shifted down until he was able to gently press a kiss to the base of the Nightmare's sac.

"Ah, love, you'll bring me..." Alistair gasped.

The blond decided to take the risk another step further by giving that area a long swipe with his tongue.

"I'm cumming," Alistair nearly shouted.

Though the human quickly moved back, some of the Nightmare's fluids landed on his cheek. He was barely able to say one last thing before his body roused itself awake. "Tomorrow, Alistair!"

---

Finian woke up the following morning with butterflies causing havoc in his stomach. He was finally eighteen! The teen still couldn't believe it. After rushing about, showering, and getting ready, he rushed downstairs to make some breakfast. However, he was in for quite the surprise to see his father already in the kitchen.

"Dad?"

Robert Fair had just finished spearing a homemade waffle onto Finian's plate. The apron he wore was wrapped around his waist, but not his neck, which defeated the purpose of wearing an apron, if anyone asked his son. Regardless, the older man preferred to protect his pants rather than his shirts. When asked why, he would never give anyone a straight answer.

"Happy Birthday, kiddo...though, eighteen? Not so much a kiddo anymore, huh?"

Fin shook his head. "Always gonna be your kid dad, age won't change that." He pointed out.

"Anyway, since you're going to be checking out the campus all weekend long, and I won't be seeing ya til next weekend, if I'm lucky...I figured now was the only time I could really catch ya," Robert explained. "With Jack having your back, I'm not too worried. But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep a set of eyes on the back of your head."

"We'll be fine, Dad." The younger man responded after he loaded everything he could find on top of his waffles and took the first bite. "Oh man, Dad, these are soooo good." He moaned.

"There you go again," Robert chuckled. "I sure hope you catch yourself before making those ridiculous sounds at your plate. People'll think you're either nuts or getting some side action under the table."

Fin shook his head once again. "I've been curbing all of that in public, honest!"

"I'll take your word for it." The older man conceded as he reached over to ruffle the top of the platinum locks. "Good luck over there."

"Thanks, dad," Fin responded with a smile.

The two of them then focused more on their food than on conversation.

---

Lee'en was up at the distant sound of roosters crowing, for once. He went to great lengths to look his best because, if everything went well, Jack Kierny would finally be able to see him. His hair was settled in a soft coif. He lightly lined his eyes to make the magenta hue stand out. There was nothing he could do about his freckles, but he never had that kind of complex to fret over them.

The Unicorn decided to wear a three-fourths length cream blouse with the first several buttons undone. He also wore a pair of skin-tight, suede, sage green pants and black ankle boots. On his finger rested the promise ring that Jack had given him.

Jack was snoring softly when Lee'en slipped into his room. The nineteen-year-old had packed haphazardly the night before in a big duffel and a ragged backpack. They were sitting at the end of his bed on the floor, ready to be tripped over.

Not an hour later, Finian burst through Jack's door. "It's time!" He called out enthusiastically. "Hey, Lee'en! Lovely morning, isn't it?"

"The best," The Unicorn agreed with a snicker. "Considering your Nightmare won't show until later on, I'm surprised you're even awake right now." He mused out loud, but when he turned to look, the teenager was already straddling his best friend and shaking him awake.

"Come on, Jack! Didn't you set an alarm?" Finian whined.

"Mmmmm, Lee-baby..." Jack reached up without opening his eyes and wrapped his arms around Fin and rolled his hips up to rub his morning wood against his best friend through the sheet.

Finian's face glowed pink. "Jack! For crying out loud!" He huffed as he shoved the brunet off him and pinched his side. "It. Is. Tiiiime." He enunciated. "Remember that we're doing all this for you! Why aren't you ready yet?"

Jack blinked sleepily up at his huffing friend. "Fin?" He scratched his bedhead and looked around. "Where's Lee'en? I was just dreaming of him..."

Finian squished Jack's cheeks together and looked into his hazel eyes. "Jack, listen to the words coming out of my mouth. It's D-Day. Today's the day you stop dreaming, and you see what Lee'en looks like with your own eyes."

Jack's eyes popped wide as he jumped out of bed. "Fuck! Is it time to go?"

He stumbled toward his dresser to throw on some clean clothes. His feet caught in the straps of his backpack and his toppled like a tree, crashing to the floor.

The blond let out a long sigh before reaching over to help Jack stand back up. "Well, at least I see that you packed." He admitted. His own duffel bag was downstairs near the door. While Jack ran about getting ready, Fin's gaze settled on Lee'en. "Are you sure about all this? Can you guarantee Jack's safety?"

"With my entire being, Fin." Lee'en vowed. "With my entire being."

"Great!" Fin responded with a grin.

In fifteen minutes Jack had himself together, though Fin had to remind him to pack several things he'd forgotten. The red mark on his forehead from falling and crashing face-first into his skateboard was fading nicely.

"Ma! Dad! I'm heading out!" Jack hollered as he set his bags next to the door.

His mom hustled in from the living room and hugged Jack tight. "Already? I thought it was later!"

Jack laughed. "I've been informed it's definitely time to go." He kissed her on the cheek. "Love you, Ma. I'll miss you."

"I'm glad you found somewhere that accepted your late admission and that you found a place with Finian, too." She smiled and pulled Fin into a hug as well, nearly knocking over an invisible Lee'en. "You take care, hon. I love you like my own, you know."

Finian took in her warmth for a good moment. "And I thank you so much for it." He replied. "All of you have done so much for me. I'll be sure to repay it by keeping an eye out for Jack while we're away."

"And who keeps an eye on you?" she teased with a wink.

She stepped away as Jack's dad came in from the kitchen. He clapped a hand on Jack's shoulder.

"Well, boy, you go and have a good time." He nodded. "I'm sure you'll do fine. You're a smart kid. Just don't skip your homework to chase pussy." He laughed as Jack's mom stifled a groan. "And watch out for all the homos. There are buckets of them at some of those schools. If you don't watch it, they'll have you dressing faggy, decorating with rainbows, and talking with a lisp."

He laughed, seemingly oblivious to no one joining him as Jack's mother sighed in embarrassment.

"Right Dad, no lisps here," Jack smiled, but there was a strain in his eyes. "Guess we should go."

His mom stole another hug from the boys before they could escape out the door.

When they were finally set loose, they stuffed their bags in the trunk and drove off as Lee'en directed them.

"Right there. That's one of the safe houses near the boundaries. The car will be safe there." The Unicorn explained.

Finian gave the information forward to Jack and, a few moments later, they were parked and getting out of the car. The blond immediately grabbed his bag after his friend popped the trunk. "What now?" He asked Lee'en.

For a moment, the Unicorn looked nervous and unsure. But, after one glance at Jack, he regained his composure. "This way." He said as he walked ahead of them towards the boundary. "It's right here. Keep Jack between us. I'm going to take his left hand, and you take his right hand. The three of us will then walk through the boundary together.

"Take hold of Lee's hand with your left hand and don't let go of my hand on your right," Finian instructed. "The three of us have to walk through the boundary together."

Jack had been rather quiet during the car ride. "Sorry about my dad," he finally murmured as he took Fin's hand and held out his other for Lee'en's.

"You have time to talk to him, Jack. Whether he approves or not, only time will tell." Lee'en stated.

"He said to give it some time." Finian relayed. After a moment, he spoke up once again. "So...are we ready? Jack?"

"What about our stuff?" Jack asked.

"Oh, I knew I forgot to tell you something!" Lee responded. "So long as the bags are touching your body, they will cross over with you." He explained.

"He says we have to carry them as we walk through," Finian repeated as he quickly threaded his arms through the loops of the duffel bag to carry it like a backpack.

"Oh, okay." Jack threw on his backpack with his duffel tied to it. "Agh, I feel like I'm going to fall over backwards and be stuck like a flipped turtle." Jack held out his hands. "Let's do this."

Finian took hold of Jack's hand once more while Lee'en took the other. "Why did you pack so much? It's only supposed to be a week..." The blond commented.

Jack's grin was positively wicked. "I have presents for Lee'en. Want to see?"

"When we're on the other side! Stop stalling you two, it's time!" Lee'en all but growled as he gave an insistent tug on Jack's hand.

"Lee's mad. We need to go now." Finian answered rapidly. "Come on."

As the three of them began to walk towards the boundary, Lee'en summoned up the magic of wind and pollen to send them through. The humans knew immediately when they entered the edge of the boundary because it almost felt like they were on a rapidly moving conveyor belt. Finian, who was always quite the balanced individual, was able to regain said balance fast enough to help Lee'en keep Jack steady on his feet. A few moments later, the three of them stumbled forward a bit and were on the other side.

"Wow!" Finian gasped as he let go of Jack's hand and gazed at the beauty that was Zirao Zion, a city with fluid architecture, the likes of which he had never seen before. As much as their small town had their trees and parks, Zirao Zion seemed to have much more greenery.

Finian took a deep breath and felt heady with oxygen. "This is your world?"

"No, this is just my home town." Lee'en replied with a proud smile. He threaded his fingers through Jack's hand and blushed when he remembered that the human could now gaze upon him. As confident as he usually was, he was worried that he wouldn't meet the taller man's expectations.

Jack hadn't heard a word they had said. His eyes were fixed on Lee'en. He'd forced Fin to describe the Unicorn countless times, but his friend's words didn't do him justice. Jack's love was stunning. His hair was cotton candy pink and not a bit of it was out of place. His eyes were truly magenta, Jack hadn't been able to imagine it, but it was beautiful and suited his lovely fair skin perfectly. The pink heart on Lee'en's forehead was perfectly sized and placed. It was noticeable but didn't overwhelm his features. His clothes flattered his petite form, and what a form it was. The Unicorn was slender without being skinny. He was absolutely delicious. Jack had the urge to ask Lee'en to give him a very slow twirl so that he could see Lee from every possible angle. Jack sucked in a puff of air when he realized he'd stopped breathing for a moment.

Lee'en actually found himself shifting from one foot to the other. Such behavior was driving him crazy, as he was never the shy or nervous type. He never felt such things before in his life and, yet, there they were, eating him up from inside in anxiety as he waited for the verdict.

"Don't just stand there, big guy." He prompted. "Say something."

Jack swallowed hard. "I have never seen anything as lovely and enchanting before in my entire life..."

The Unicorn beamed. This was hands down, the happiest moment he had ever lived. With a slight frown, he went about tugging the bags off the human's back and onto the ground. "There, much better." He then shot Jack a heated glance and promptly climbed him, wrapping his arms around the brunet's neck and his legs around his waist. Lee'en sought his lover's mouth and proceeded to kiss the very breath right out of him.

Jack groaned, entirely overwhelmed. He'd held Lee'en in his arms many times, but even if Jack closed his eyes, this was so much more than it had ever been back home. He could even smell Lee'en like something sweet with a touch of spice. It made him want to lick the Unicorn... everywhere.

Jack gave as good as he got with the kiss, taking everything Lee'en put forth and returning with equal passion. The human took several steps up to the trunk of a huge tree. He pressed Lee's back to the tree and himself to the front of Lee'en. He began to grind his crotch against his pink-haired lover, moaning as his cock nearly erupted just from that touch, even with the layers of clothes between them.

"Fuck..." Jack hissed.

"Jack..." Lee'en panted in a voice suffused with lust. "Does this mean that you'll still be my mate?" He asked for affirmation.

"God, hell yes!" Jack sucked at the crook of Lee'en's neck, raising a mark to the surface. "I want you forever. I knew that even before I ever saw you."

One of the Unicorn's hands clutched the back of the human's head. Any markings on his skin would show quite noticeably, but he didn't care in the slightest. "Thank the Celestials." He declared. His gaze fell on Finian, who was staring about the town and whistling to himself as he rocked on his heels. He let out a sigh. "Come on, let's get you home so you can both drop off your stuff." He pressed a final, lingering kiss on Jack's lips. "I promise we'll continue where we left off."

Jack let out a little growl and reluctantly let Lee'en's feet touch the ground. "Then let's hurry."

Lee'en couldn't keep the smile off his face, even at the sight of a grumpy and impatient Jack. He took hold of the human's hand and walked over to help him with his backpack. When Jack grabbed his duffel bag, Lee led the way to his house.

Both humans were quite impressed with their surroundings. The paths weren't made of asphalt, cement, or even brick. Some paths did have flat stones. However, there was yet another material that neither of them could place. The material was brown and springy, almost like a carpet, but there was grass weaving around each of the patches in a harmonious manner. When they arrived, they ended up gaping at the two-story dome that was the pink-haired unicorn's home. Why it was the size of both Jack and Fin's houses, put together!

"This is your house?" Finian asked aloud.

"Yep and you are both are welcome to it anytime you wish." Lee'en responded as he walked right up to the door and opened it. "There's a security device embedded into the doorframe that only opens when it recognizes certain people." He explained as started swiping at a plate on the inside. "I'm setting it to recognize you both so you can get in and out without any difficulties." He then leaned down to whisper into Fin's ear. "Your beau, on the other hand, is going to have to alert the system."

"Can Fin give himself a tour?" Jack asked Lee'en as soon as the door closed behind them.

Finian blushed and made a shooing motion with his hands. "Go, go, I'll be fine."

Lee'en sent him a grateful smile and then gently tugged on one of Jack's wrists as he led him upstairs. "Come on, I promise that my room is not pink!" He commented. The door to his room was embellished and had large pieces of glass that let light in, but obscured the inside view. The inside of the Unicorn's room had a cherry wood-paneled floor and crisp, creme and black furniture. A diamond rug in a soft sea green was in the center of the room. The only pink item was a decorative crystal rose on the cabinet with petals of the same hue as Lee'en's hair.

"It's very nice," Jack said with a smile, suddenly anxious.

What if the Unicorn didn't like him as well now that he was home? What if, faced with the immediacy of the situation, Lee'en was having second thoughts about the mating? Had he asked Jack before if he was certain about wanting Lee because the other man had doubts himself? Jack had never felt such worry or concern before. If someone wanted him, that was fine. If they didn't, he moved on. This time, though, it was very important to him that Lee'en felt as strongly about Jack as Jack did about him.

The Unicorn read the human's anxiousness as mere nervousness, so he tugged him over to the bed and sat him right on it, climbing into his lap and giving him a tender kiss. "I can't believe you're finally here," He whispered excitedly as he pressed a kiss to each of Jack's cheeks. "You can finally see and hear me." He continued as he pressed a kiss to the man's chin and forehead. "Which form do you want me to be in, Jack?" He asked sultrily. "How do you want me? We can do whatever you like."

"Umm, what are my options again?" Jack asked, mouth dry.

A smirk formed on Lee'en's face. He took Jack's hands and placed them on his shoulders as he shifted into his unicorn form so that the hands landed on his soft, fluffy back. "This is my Unicorn form, as you've felt before." He spoke in the human's head. "If you really wanted to, you could claim me in this form, as well." His tail gave a soft flick as he reveled in the petting.

"There are some...ah...human taboos that I would have to overcome before I would be comfortable having sex with you in this form." Jack couldn't help but chuckle as he gazed in amazement at the little Unicorn in front of him. He petted the soft fur, hoping Lee'en wouldn't be offended by his words.

"Ooo, scratch right there?" Lee'en prompted, undaunted. "That feels good." He let out a soft whiny and stretched as he shifted into his faun form. His body was draped across Jack's lap at this point, completely nude. He rolled so that Jack could see him from the front. "And this is my half, or faun, form." He concluded as he lifted his hands behind his head lazily and his tail flicked once again.

"Mmmm," Jack nearly purred. "This has possibilities." He took a moment to stroke the soft fur across Lee'en's thighs and reached back to give his tail a gentle tug. "You still feel like you to me, and you have your pretty horn."

Lee lifted himself onto his elbows and then straddled Jack's lap again. "You can touch it if you want. It's a bit sensitive though." He warned. "You can claim me in any form you wish from here on out. But, for the mating, you have to pick one form for a good little while. Human, half-form, or feral, which should I be?"

"Then I'd like you as I think of you in my mind, human." Jack's eyebrows furrowed. "Is that okay? Are you still sure about all this? I don't want to push you into anything. I don't want you to feel obligated because I'm here now if you've changed your mind, you know?"

Lee'en shifted back into a human, stark naked on top of Jack's lap. He was already half hard. "Obligated? I should be asking you that question. Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for this day?" He questioned as he began to help the human out of his clothes. "Two years, Jack. Two whole years of worrying if you would rather choose some other human instead of me!" He took a deep breath. "Now, if you would please, mate the ever living daylights out of me. Right. Now?" He pleaded.

The anxiety bled quickly from Jack's chest as he grinned at his enthusiastic love.

"I'd love to," Jack laughed.

He flipped Lee'en onto his back and laid between his spread thighs, kissing him deeply as he rubbed himself against Lee's hardening erection.

"We were in this position up against that tree," Jack reminded him as his hands roamed Lee's delectable body. "I nearly fucked you, right there, against that tree. I wanted you so badly, I forgot everything else."

"And I would have let you if it wasn't for Fin and this mating," Lee'en agreed as he took hold of one of Jack's hands and pressed a kiss to the palm. "After this, I promise that we can do it anytime and anywhere you want." He added feverishly. "I want your marking on me...and beyond that, I want to mark you."

"How does this work?" Jack asked breathlessly.

"We first declare one another as mates, and then we press the palm of our hand to the area on the other person's body we want to mark." Lee'en explained. "The marking can be placed anywhere except the face or where the other person's promise mark is, as they can't be layered."

"I can mark you anywhere?" Jack asked,

"Yes, anywhere." Lee'en insisted.

"I choose you, Lee'en, to be my mate." Jack's eyes darkened. "Here?" Jack asked wickedly while pressing his palm to the warm, flat space just above Lee'en's hard cock. "Can I mark you here?"

"Yes," Lee'en hissed and squirmed beneath the touch. He pressed the palm of his hand over the back of Jack's own. "I declare you, Jack, to be my mate." A warm light shone through both their hands and onto the Unicorn's flesh. The promise mark on the human's chest solidified into a stronger hue.

A strange sound snuck past Lee's lips, one that was a mixture of a whimper and a keen as his eyes brimmed with tears of emotion. "Jack, oh Jack!" He gasped as he wrapped his arms around the other man's neck and hugged him tightly. Magenta eyes sought out hazel as a smile formed on the Unicorn's face. "I love you with every last bit of my being, Jack Kierny." He announced as he pressed a hard kiss to the human's mouth.

"I love you, too, baby," Jack smiled wide and peppered Lee'en's face with kisses before leaning back to look at their mating marks in wonder.

A perfect match to Lee'en's pink heart lay like an immaculate tattoo on the back of Jack's hand. It contrasted nicely with his tan skin. The human teen then carefully inspected the mark low on Lee's flat stomach.

The heart pierced with three arrows was a perfect match for the mark on Jack's chest. It was an interesting greenish-brown, reminding Lee'en of Jack's hazel eyes.

Jack was distracted from his perusal by the Unicorn's erection bumping his chin. Jack grinned and gave it a friendly lick.

"That tongue of yours is going to get in a lot of trouble if it doesn't make its way back there." He stated with a pout.

"Here?" Jack asked wickedly, moving down to suck first one and then the other of the Unicorn's warm testicles into his mouth, laving each with his tongue.

He had known that Lee'en was as bare down there as Jack, but actually seeing it instead of just feeling it was incredibly arousing.

"Yesss," Lee'en moaned as his hands raked through the human's brown locks. "Lick them like you mean it, big guy!"

"Mmmm," Jack pulled off with a pop. "Is this what you were saying out loud all the times you were petting me and writing 'Y' over and over while I sucked your pretty cock?"

The human gave Lee'en a wink before sucking the head of the Unicorn's rod into his mouth.

"O-Oh! That's right! My hands are free, for once," He proclaimed as his hands began to massage the human's scalp with both hands and gently tugged the hair atop it. "Wait, did you just say it was pretty?" He asked as a hot blush formed on his face. "I think I just leaked a little."

"I know you did." Jack licked his lips. "Pretty and delicious. How can I resist?" The human sucked Lee back into his mouth, rubbing the underside with his tongue.

"Jack!" He gasped, his fingers downright clinging to the man's scalp. "The tongue's forgiven, very, very forgiven...ooooh!" He moaned.

Jack's mouth was rather busy, but Lee'en could see the smile in his eyes as he looked up at his mate and then swallowed the Unicorn down to the base, keeping his tongue busy the whole way.

A sharp intake of breath was the only sound that fell from the Unicorn's lips for a moment, in sharp contrast of the slurping further below. "You've never been able to look at me directly before," He pointed out. "That's so hot...just...so...anh!" He whimpered as he suddenly burst inside the human's mouth. "Oh, Celestials! Sorry, are you ok? I didn't mean to come so fast!"

Jack swallowed and laughed, wiping the corner of his mouth and then licking his hand clean.

"I nearly came just doing it and watching you enjoy it," Jack happily admitted. "Everything feels so... I don't know. It's like everything is more intense. Every touch, sound, or smell...It's like back home everything was dulled. Now the vibrancy of everything is amazing." He looked deep into his love's magenta eyes. "Even touching you, though I've felt your body so many times before, it's like before I was wearing gloves and I'm only truly feeling you now." Jack pressed a kiss to his mark that now graced Lee'en's perfect skin.

Lee's shaft gave another pulse at the touch. "Y-Yeah, I didn't realize it was going to be like this, either. No wonder my kind goes after humans so hard. You're pretty amazing when we can fully interact, not that you weren't already amazing before." The Unicorn reached over to lick Jack's bottom lip, sliding his tongue inside to taste the residue of himself along with the rest of the man's mouth. "Mmm, how do you want to bury yourself inside me? I'll try out anything you want."

"I'm going to cum in, like, two seconds," Jack laughed.

"In my mouth, it is big guy," The Unicorn smirked a second before he shifted and descended upon the girth and length of the human's sizeable shaft. Soft pink lips wrapped around the head and slid right down to the base with no hesitation. A set of magenta eyes fluttered coquettishly up at Jack, and then Lee'en began to suck hard. He moved over the length with purpose, eagerly exploiting all of the taller man's weaknesses.

Jack nearly shouted as he was engulfed. He was able to pump a few times into Lee'en's hot tight mouth, but as soon as he looked into the Unicorn's eyes, he was finished. He came with a loud grunt, filling the smaller man's mouth.

Lee'en swallowed every last drop his mate had to give. He licked him almost completely clean and then licked his own lips. "Mmm, you taste as delicious as ever." He admitted.

"Fuck," Jack groaned. "You're making me harden back up."

A pleased smile formed on Lee's face. "Whenever you're ready for another go, I'll be ready too, big guy." He offered salaciously. "For once, we don't have to rush. I have you all week long."

"But, what if I'm ready now?" Jack asked with heat in his voice.

Lee'en suddenly found himself on his belly on the bed with Jack covering him, something hot and hard nudging the smaller man's ass.

The Unicorn arched his back with a rolling moan. "Then you can have me now." He responded breathlessly.

"What can I slick you with?" came the hot whisper in Lee'en's ear.

Lee had been prepared and had stuffed all kinds of lubes and toys beneath his pillows. He felt around for one of the tubes and handed it to the human.

Jack kept one hand in the middle of Lee'en's back, holding him pinned to the bed, as he lifted himself just enough to pop the lid with his thumb and cover his length and Lee's entrance.

"I know you could take me without stretching you before, but, fuck, I can see you now, and you are so petite and dainty. I'm afraid I'll rip you in half..."

"Go ahead and try, big guy. You won't hurt me." He insisted. "I'll open right up for you, just as I have before. Fast and greedily."

Jack could only accept Lee'en's words because he couldn't bear to ask for more assurances. He needed inside that hot sweet ass. He nudged his slickened head between the smaller man's warm, soft globes. He knew every inch of Lee's body by touch, so there was no awkward fumbling. The tip of his cock immediately pierced the Unicorn, but he paused, waiting to make sure Lee'en wasn't in pain.

Lee'en slapped a hand down on the sheets as he shuddered and let out a trill of sounds. "So hot...so good." He keened. "Please Jack, please move."

The human held his body in a push-up above the Unicorn's body. He slowly and carefully lowered himself, watching for any sign of discomfort. Lee'en only spread his legs wider and made the sweetest moans Jack had ever heard. Before he knew it, the human teen was sunk deep inside, his entire body covering Lee'en with gravity pressing Jack down on the small body beneath him.

"Fuck," Jack gasped.

The Unicorn took in another shuddering breath. "My sentiments exactly." He agreed. "Please, Jack...more. I need so much more."

Jack took one of Lee's wrists in each of his hands. He placed them next to Lee'en's head, which had turned to the side, gasping for breath. Jack pinned the wrists there with his body weight as he pushed his body up. His thick cock pulled out of the Unicorn tortuously slowly until just the tip remained. Jack paused, holding himself above Lee, looking down to see where their bodies joined. When Lee'en made a little demanding noise, Jack grinned and let his body drop, spearing the smaller man and knocking the air from both of them.

"Yesss!" The smaller man hissed. "More, Jack, more!" He pleaded desperately as he slowly grinded back against him.

Jack pulled back again, pinning Lee'en like a lovely butterfly, before spearing him again.

"Do you want it like this, baby?" Jack whispered in Lee's ear as he thrust again. "Hard and deep, like I'm trying to fuck up into your throat? Crawl inside you?"

"However you want!" Lee'en didn't care how they were positioned, but he didn't want the human to stop or slow down. "Just, please don't stop!"

The muscles from Jack's back to his calves flexed while he kept Lee'en's wrists pinned as he pounded into him with a relentless rhythm. He grunted softly with every thrust, and there was a determined need in the noise. He'd satisfy his little mate or die trying.

"Celestials," Lee'en whimpered. "Yes, Jack, yes!" He cried out as he did his best to match his thrusts. "So close..."

Jack thrust as deep and hard as he could, amazed the petite man could take it. He'd fucked Lee'en rough before, rougher that he was now, but it seemed different now that he could see him, all petite and fragile looking while demanding more. Jack panted, leaning down to sink his teeth into the meat of Lee's shoulder, as though another way to hold him down would allow Jack to pummel his cock even deeper and faster inside the smaller man. He growled around the flesh in his mouth, feeling fierce and wild, not quite drawing blood, but close.

"Jack!" He mewled as he felt himself nearing the edge. "Fuck!" He gasped as he spilled himself without either of them even touching his cock. He gasped again as another wave hit him and he spilled forth even more.

Jack snarled through his clenched teeth as he shot desperately inside his little mate. His spine bowed, grinding himself down into Lee'en's spasming channel. His orgasm rolled through him that crested then refused to subside. His vision was darkening as the edges when he finally started coming down. He gasped, releasing his teeth from his Unicorn's skin, leaving a perfect reddening impression of his upper and lower teeth behind.

"Fuck," Jack croaked, before slowly pulling out and allowing himself to fall face first onto the bed next to his pink-haired lover.

The pink-haired Unicorn reached over to gently rake the brown hair away from Jack's face. He gave him a soft kiss on the cheek and the lips before snuggling against him. "I rarely work up enough energy for this kind of magic, but..." He mused out loud as he summoned up the power of wind and fog to clean them both up from head to toe. When the pink heart on his forehead stopped glowing, he allowed himself to drift into a nap. A content smile was still on his face.

Jack had just enough energy left to press a kiss to the top of the soft, pink head before joining the Unicorn in the land of dreams.

---

Finian explored the first floor, amazed at the size of the kitchen and bathrooms. He had never seen three bathrooms on a first floor before. Each one was a different soft color, but none of them were pink. The human wondered if there was more to the fact that Lee'en disliked pink in his home. However, when he stepped out into the backyard, he saw every single shade of pink imaginable. Peonies, cherry blossoms, roses, camellias, azaleas...they were all strategically placed in rows of their own specific shades as far as the eye could see. "Whoa," He breathed as he explored the garden for a while.

When he stepped back into the house, he heard the sound of Lee's voice in the throes of passion and blushed. He had been expecting as much, but it still felt like he was eavesdropping on something private between his friends. The teenager decided to have a seat in the living room and picked up one of the books he found on a side table. Intrigued, he became lost in the text, as it described the layout of some of the architecture of the buildings in that dimension, along with locations of interest. When he was several chapters in, he lifted his head as he caught the scent of freshly baked bread, spices, and wine. Though he had never personally been the one to have taken in such a scent, his mind echoed with Lee's words about the scent belonging to Alistair.

The human immediately rose to his feet and rushed over to the door, relieved when it opened for him, just as Lee'en had programmed it to. He took a few steps outside and froze in place.

"Alistair!" He gasped.

Alistair's long dark blue hair was loose, the wind playing with errant locks. The Nightmare's jeweled eyes widened, and he took a breath.

"Finian," he said, overcome with reality. "You're truly here, finally." He swept Fin into his arms to kiss him deeply as the door shushed shut behind them.

The human lost track of when he stood by the door when he was held by the Nightmare, and when he was kissed. He lost track of everything. All that Fin felt was the warmth radiating from the taller man's body and the taste of his lips. The Nightmare's scent invaded his senses and made him dizzy with pleasure.

"G-goodness!" He gasped when they finally pulled away. The human then flushed with thorough embarrassment when he realized that, somewhere along the line, he spilled himself in his pants. "I-I just...oh no!" He whimpered as he covered his face with his hands. "I can't believe I just did that!"

"What's wrong?" Alistair asked, concerned before the scent of Finian's release hit him. "Ah, I see." The Nightmare's smile was wickedly pleased. Alistair pulled the mortified human back into his arms. "What a perfect welcome. It makes me happy to know how excited you are to see me."

As mortified as the teenager was, he was still too happy to worry too much about such embarrassing things. He wrapped his arms around the Nightmare's midsection and hugged him.

"Y-you're so warm a-and you smell so good." He admitted as he struggled with his words. "And you're more beautiful than in my dreams...h-how is that even possible?"

Alistair tugged Finian along with him into the house as he spoke. "I feel the same. It's like the shades have been opened and allowed the sun inside. Having you here, with me, it's like I was only half alive before." The Nightmare peeked into a room, shutting the door when he saw it was a study. "I should have thought to tell you it might feel this way." Alistair opened another door and smiled when he saw a guest bedroom with a bag on the bed. He swept them both inside. "First, things are a little... different here than in your own dimension. This world is filled with magic like yours is air. It fills everything, makes everything a little more than it normally would seem in your world. Everything you see here is true. You just missed the little details on Earth." Alistair walked through an open door and into a lavish bathing room. "The other change is that you have only seen me in dreams, before. This isn't just a construct of my magic." He took Fin's hand and pressed the smaller man's palm to his chest. "I'm flesh and blood now. This is the real me." A little smile tugged the Nightmare's lips. "And I'm glad you approve. Now, then..."

Alistair deftly unsnapped Finian's pants and unzipped them.

Finian blushed hard when his pants were unzipped, but he allowed the Nightmare to do as he wished. "M-may I touch your hair, Alistair?" The long, wavy indigo strands were the most amazing locks he had ever seen.

Jeweled eyes locked on Finian's dark blue ones as the Nightmare removed the human's pants and damp boxers at the same time.

"You can always touch me," Alistair purred. "Anywhere you like, whenever you like."

A blush heated up the teenager's entire face. "O-Oh, I didn't mean...I mean,well..that is...err..." He babbled for a bit before raking his fingers through the Nightmare's hair with a happy sound that resembled a squeak falling from his lips. "S-So soft..." He whispered contently.

"Mmmm, that feels so nice." Alistair stayed crouched before Fin, eyes closing and a smile softening his features.

Feeling a touch emboldened, the human began to dig the pads of his fingers into Alistair's scalp, massaging it. "This is so much better than a dream." He admitted, his first solid and stutter-free phrase.

"I agree." Alistair's fingers snuck under the hem of Finian's shirt, his long fingers stroking the smooth skin he found.

Fin's breath hitched at the touch. He found himself dropping down to his knees and placing a soft, shaky kiss onto Alistair's lips. "A-Alistair..." He began nervously. "Can I be...ah, that is would you ...be my boyfriend?"

The larger man pulled Finian into his arms and stroked his cheek gently. "I would love to be named your boyfriend, and you mine." He pressed a kiss to the cheek he had touched. "Would you allow me to help you clean up?" he asked as he nodded to the opulently sized tub next to them.

The human huffed at himself as he tried to make sense of his own words. "I know it makes no sense since we are already mates...or at least mates to be. However, it's the custom on earth to start as boyfriends, and then fiancés, and then husbands...traditionally, anyway!" He rambled. "And I just...want to experience it all with you." He finally managed to get out. "A-and yes, of course." He finished as he stepped into the tub.

Alistair smiled gently. "Let me take off your shirt and start the water."

It pleased something deep inside the Nightmare that he seemed to distract Finian so much that his human would get into an empty tub with his shirt on.

Finian was compliant as he was stripped of his shirt. "I don't even know how to work a tub here..." He grumbled out loud. "I feel useless."

"Never useless." Alistair kissed Finian's platinum crown before taking his hand and speaking softly into his human's ear. "Press your hand here." Alistair put Fin's hand in a depression on the edge of the tub. "Then just think of what temperature you would like and how deeply you would like the tub to fill. The water comes from the spout there."

"Wow, really?" Intrigued, Finian did just that. Instantly, the tub began to fill up to three-quarters with lukewarm water. "Amazing!"

Alistair reached onto a shelf built into the wall and pulled out a blue glass bottle.

"I think you might like this." The Nightmare uncorked the top and held it near Finian's nose. "I recognize it. It's actually from your dimension, but not your world. It's a very nice herbal soap and shampoo made by a rather adorable race of mouse-like people. They can be rather puritan, but their exports are divine."

"Smells good," Finian agreed. "Soap and shampoo, you said?"

"And bubbles," Alistair explained with a smile as he poured a generous dollop in the water.

He circled his hand in the water to make a few bubbles before taking a soft washcloth from another shelf.

The teen was delighted and conflicted. The bubbles were fun, and the scent of them was soothing. Was it childish to enjoy bubble baths? When the Nightmare came back, he felt the need to justify himself. "Just because I still like bubbles doesn't mean that I'm still just a kid!" He stated. "...you don't see me as a kid, do you?" He asked, feeling insecure.

Alistair looked surprised for a moment. "Is is childish to enjoy pleasant things?" The Nightmare's eyes darkened. "And I can guarantee you, the last thing I see you as is a child."

He dampened the cloth in the warm water and slid it across Finian's chest, kneeling next to the tub. The Nightmare gently washed Fin's chest and arms, looking delighted to do so.

The look in the older man's eyes made him blush, but he focused on making things easier for Alistair in the washing process. "None of this was quite what I expected when it came to our first real meeting," Finian confessed. "But, it goes to show that I enjoy doing just about anything with you, Alistair Montcroix."

The dark-haired Nightmare finished washing Finian's throat and behind his ears before quirking an eyebrow.

"Is your bath not exciting enough, love?" Alistair asked innocently as the wash cloth trailed lower to disappear under the bubbles.

"That's not what I meant," Fin gasped. "I j-just didn't expect to make a mess of myself s-so suddenly."

"But it's pleased me so greatly," Alistair admitted without shame. "And it's given me an excuse to do this..."

The soft cloth rippled in the water, teasingly caressing between Finian's legs.

"Alistair!" The human moaned at the sensation. "I-if you do such things, the messes will just keep coming!" He added.

"Do you want me to stop?" Alistair's hand froze, the cloth still tickling Fin's flesh.

"I'm eighteen," He admitted. "I'd take up the offer on any other occasion...but, I think I would much rather finish up and spend as much time as I can getting to know more about you and your world...at least just this once."

Alistair kissed Finian's temple. "As you wish." He put the wash cloth into Fin's smaller hand. "You had better do it. I'm not sure I can resist temptation."

"Wait, does that mean that you wanted to?" Finian asked immediately. "Did I spoil it all? I didn't mean to...not if you really wanted to, it's just...it feels so selfish. You haven't even peaked yet..."

Alistair leaned over to nuzzle where he'd kissed.

"I wanted to, I will always want to touch you and bring you pleasure." Alistair's smile was equal parts wicked and sincere. "Even if I never reached my peak again, I could live happily watching you reach yours. You have no idea how mesmerizing you are to me."

"Come in here with me. Let me wash your hair and return the favor," Fin pleaded, his face glowing pink. "I want to t-touch you and bring you to pleasure, too."

Alistair looked pained. "Tell me your limits now, before I get in there with you. I'll be too tempted to bend you over the side of the tub and take you, otherwise."

The human froze in place. He was eighteen. This was exactly what he had waited for. Alistair was the only man, the only being, he ever wanted to cross that line with. So, why was he still hesitating?

"A-anything except actual penetration." Finian decided and then squirmed in place. "I think it's finally safe for oral now if you allow me to t-take you into my mouth, that is… It's not that I don't want to go all the way! A-and technically, oral sex is still considered sex...but, I want our first time that way to be planned and perfect."

"I completely understand," Alistair said as he stood to remove his shirt and trousers. "And I agree completely."

Before Fin knew it, the handsome Nightmare was kneeling in the water before him, the bubbles hiding what was below his waist.

Finian had gotten a good look at the Nightmare's privates and was still quite surprised to see that they were the same size he had seen in the dreams. He didn't think that Alistair would be the type to manipulate the dreamscape to his advantage when it came to his appearance, but the real deal seemed so much more impressive to the human. With a hard gulp, Fin began to wash Alistair's hair. "I think I love handling your hair almost as much as peaking."

Alistair turned so he could simply sit in front of Fin, between the smaller man's spread legs. The Nightmare tipped his head back, long locks darkening to a dark purple in the water.

"I never imagined someone playing with my hair would feel so wonderful." He scooted into a comfortable position. "I would let you do it all day."

The teen bit his lower lip as he rinsed the hair off and applied a conditioner he found. "Is there a special reason you wear it long?" He asked in curiosity.

"Tradition, I suppose." Alistair looked up at him through his wet locks. "If you would like it better shorter, I would happily cut it."

Finian let out a loud gasp. "The only cutting allowed is a trim! I refuse to allow you to commit such a heinous crime." He demanded with a pout. "Unless you absolutely have to."

Alistair laughed, throwing his head back to toss his hair into a more comfortable position, splashing Fin in the process.

"Very well," the Nightmare said, as he looked over his shoulder at his love. "Long hair it is."

Finian beamed and gave the man a hard kiss on the lips. "When we are mated, would I take on your family last name?" He wondered aloud.

Alistair turned around completely, a hopeful smile brightening his face. "Would you?" He placed a hand over Fin's heart. "To name you Montcroix would make me very happy. It would also give you many protections."

The human raised an eyebrow. "Protections? How so?"

Alistair wrapped his arms around the slippery little human and reversed their position, so Finian was spread on the Nightmare's lap, facing him. Alistair ran his palms up Fin's slick, smooth thighs to gently caress the juncture of the smaller man's thighs.

"Mmm, the Montcroix name is respected." Alistair's voice was steady as his fingers teased Fin's body. "Few would risk our anger."

"I understand as much...but, how respected is 'respected' for so many to fear angering you?" Fin asked. "Are you lawyers or something?"

"Or something," Alistair said with a smile as he slid his thumb along the underside of Finian's growing erection.

Finian whimpered. "N-No, it's my turn to pleasure you, remember?" He moved back and then patted the edge of the tub, which was several feet wide, for the Nightmare to sit upon.

Alistair obediently lifted himself out of the water and sat as instructed, leaning back against the wall and brushing his long damp locks from his eyes as water ran over lean muscles. He seemed oblivious to the erotic picture he made with his knee slightly bent, and his impressive erection pointing upward.

The human lost his speech for a brief moment before he pulled himself together. His hands sought out the hard length as his navy blue eyes met with cobalt. "I promise I will do my absolute best not to hurt you." He vowed as he leaned down to lick the tip.

"I don't think you could," Alistair's voice was low and wicked as he ran a hand through Fin's shorter blond locks.

"My lack of skill might," Finian grumbled to himself. However, he immediately took the head of the shaft into his mouth and ran his tongue all around it in curiosity.

Alistair moaned, gripping the corner of the tub tightly. Precum wept from his tip.

Eager to gain more sounds from the nightmare, Fin began to carefully add more and more of the flesh into his mouth. He made it about halfway and used his hands to cover the rest as he gave an experimental suck.

Alistair sucked in a breath, his abdominals tensing, showing their muscle definition. He fought not to buck into his human's mouth.

His hands became busy exploiting the bottom half with everything he remembered from the dreams while he continued to move his mouth and tongue over the top half. Finian was surprised that he really enjoyed how the flesh felt in his mouth.

"Gods, Fin... Your mouth..." Alistair moaned, hips twitching as he threw his head back. "I'm so close."

---

While the Nightmare and human explored themselves downstairs, Lee'en roused to the sound of his door alarm. He immediately rolled off Jack and perused a screen which showed a man tugging Finian inside his house. The video was recorded at a high angle, so Lee was unable to fully make out the man's face. From the rich hue of the dark hair, however, it was obvious that it was a Nightmare.

"Jack! Jack, wake up!" Lee urged his mate as he turned the alarm off. He didn't allow the Nightmare's profile into his security just yet, not until he got a good look at him. "Fin's beau is here, and we have to see for ourselves if this Nightmare is even worthy of him!"

The Unicorn tossed a dark green robe at Jack and quickly wrapped a coral-hued robe around himself as he rushed downstairs. When he saw no sign of Finian, the heart marking on his forehead began to glow. He used a touch of magic to enhance his hearing and simply followed the sounds to one of his bathrooms just as the Nightmare climaxed.

For a moment, Lee'en took in the scene before him. Finian was coughing a bit and swallowing what was, undoubtedly, Alistair Montcroix's love juice. Finian Fair, still about a fourth Maidenly (at least in his opinion) and at the ripe age of eighteen, just guzzled down the Montcroix heir's jizz.

"Damn Fin...shoot for the moon and hit a galaxy much?" As Fin began to sputter for being caught, he turned towards Jack. "Our bestie's mating royalty!"

"I'm what?" Fin cried out.

Alistair's glare directed towards the Unicorn could have made flowers wither and puppies cry.

Lee'en had the decency to blush and glance away, keeping silent. He kept his gaze averted from the nude royal and bit his own tongue hard. Every molecule in his body urged him to tell the human everything he knew, but he respectfully forced himself to keep quiet.

Finian turned rapt navy blue eyes towards the Nightmare. "What does he mean?"

Alistair dropped his head back and released a heavy sigh. "You make it sound much greater than it really is, Unicorn. I suppose I'd have had to explain it sooner or later." The Nightmare slouched in the bubbles and tugged Fin to his chest. "Technically, I am royalty. Though, the Montcroix family hasn't ruled the land for generations."

As Alistair explained, Lee reached out to gently tug Jack around to give the other two some privacy. He signed into the human's hand. This will make Fin a prince.

Finian frowned. The Nightmare had, thus far, never lied to him. And he hadn't truly lied to him earlier when he responded with 'or something' instead of confirming whether he was a lawyer or not. But, Fin still didn't like the fact that the fact had been kept from him for so long. "Why did you never explain it before whenever I asked? Do you dislike it so much?"

"It seems to affect so many aspects of my life." Alistair raked a hand through his dark hair. "Being a Montcroix...I don't know how to explain it. I loved not being a prince with you, I was simply Alistair. I'm sorry, I put off explaining who I was longer than I ever should have." The Nightmare stiffened slightly. "Does it change how you feel about me?"

"But, you've always been a prince in my eyes, Alistair," Finian responded with a gentle smile. "I had a feeling that your family name was important and revered, but I never thought that it dealt with real royalty." He pressed a soft kiss to the Nightmare's cheek. "This changes nothing, and I wouldn't have treated you any differently even if you had told me. A teen from a small town like me wouldn't have known how to treat a prince, anyway. I'd have still bumbled along...though perhaps I might have been just a bit more embarrassed than usual."

"You're adorable when you're embarrassed," Alistair grinned wickedly.

"I'm already too embarrassed on a regular basis as it is!" The human complained, a slight blush tinting his cheeks. "Goodness!" He gasped. "Is it really ok for someone like me to mate with you and be part of your family?"

"My family will adore you." The Nightmare nuzzled Fin's cheek. "Sometimes we will have to dress in stuffy outfits and go to boring events."

"I don't mind anything so long as it's with you." The human admitted. His eyes widened when he realized something important. "Good grief, where are my manners?" He turned towards his two best friends. "G-Give us a minute to dress, please." He pleaded with Lee'en. "And then it's time for introductions!"

Jack just grinned as Lee'en dragged him away from the bathing room so Fin and Alistair could have privacy to dry and dress. The little pink-haired Unicorn shut the door behind them and continued forward until they were out of the guestroom.

"Damn, Mr. Princeypants is something else," Jack said teasingly. "Shame about all those bubbles."

"All of the Montcroix line are downright delectable." Lee'en confessed. "The Maestri line is just as pleasing to the eye, but they're the Royals of Peraza. As much as Nightmares and Unicorns innately don't get along, royal families are the exception." He continued. "Whether they're Nightmares or Unicorns, active or inactive, the royal families are a gorgeous and generally neutral lot. I know that, in other worlds, Royals can be downright insane. But, ours are pretty cool."

A moment of silence had followed before Lee let out a soft curse. "Damn it...you know how no one's really supposed to be worthy of dating your bestie? I seriously believe that Fin couldn't have done any better than Alistair Montcroix. He's among the best of all the royals." The Unicorn let out a soft snort. "Doesn't matter, I'll find something to pick at him about. Can't let it be too easy for him, royal or not."

"So, if they don't really rule anything anymore, what do they do? And who does rule?" Jack asked, sitting down and pulling Lee'en into his lap.

"Well, the Royals aren't restricted to any one field, they can do and be anything they want. Most of our resident Montcroix run three business headquarters, the main branch and two beside it." Lee'en responded. "But some go the scholar or healer route."

"Hmm," Jack said thoughtfully as he mindlessly began petting Lee's soft cotton candy hair. "So, who's in charge of the country?"

A slight frown crossed the Unicorn's face. "Actually...the Elders. There was a time when the Elders balanced the Royals out, but the Elders slowly phased the royals out and now it's just them."

"Fin said some stuff about the Elders being a bunch of fucked up assholes." Jack's smile dimmed slightly, but he continued petting his mate, his eyes occasionally distracted by the perfect pink heart on the back of his tan hand.

"Well, some unsavory ones might be a bit corrupt, but I don't think they're all that bad..." Lee pondered aloud. Their attention was then drawn to Finian and Alistair as they finally walked out.

"There we are," Finian said. His entire face was beaming as he regarded them. "Jack, Lee'en...this is Alistair Montcroix, my mate to be. Alistair, meet Jack and Lee, my two best friends."

Jack stood, gently setting Lee'en on his feet. The hazel-eyed human grinned as he stepped forward.

"Nice to meet you, Al." Jack chuckled as he scratched the back of his neck. "I don't know whether to shake your hand, hug you, bow, or curtsy."

"Whatever you're comfortable with," Alistair said as he stood at Finian's side, looking handsome with his dark hair tied back and wearing his tailored clothes.

The Nightmare had expected a handshake, as was the common human custom, and was just lifting his hand to extend it when Jack swept the taller Nightmare up in a bear hug. Alistair awkwardly hugged back, patting the human's back once and looking at Finian with slight bewilderment.

"Welcome to the family," Jack said as he stepped back, giving Alistair a fierce grin and space to breath. "If you hurt Fin I'll beat the living shit out of you, I don't care how fancy-pants you are."

Lee'en took the handshake route, squeezing the Montcroix heir's hand a bit too tightly. "It truly is a pleasure, but I second what my mate said." He then released his hand and shook his head. "You're lucky. If you had been any other Nightmare, I wouldn't even leave Finian alone in the room with you."

Finian looked horrified, but Alistair just smiled indulgently as he wrapped an arm around Fin's shoulder.

"I appreciate your concern and care for Finian." Alistair stood with confidence, he even looked regal. "I'm pleased he has such dedicated and loving friends. You were there for him when I couldn't be and that means very much to me." The Nightmare Prince looked at them seriously. "I swear to give everything I am to Finian's happiness and well-being."

Jack nodded once, the adaptable smile that seemed to be a permanent fixture on his face shifting to something friendlier.

"Good. Now no more threats towards Alistair, alright?" Fin sighed. A thought then occurred to him as he looked up at the Nightmare. "Would you like to...go out on a date with me?" He asked nervously, trying his best to ignore the expressions of mirth on his friends' faces.

Jack had to actually bend down to hide his face in Lee'en's hair, a part of the Unicorn Jack seemed to be becoming addicted to touching and playing with. The scent of his mate and the soft pink locks were enough to keep Jack from bursting out laughing and embarrassing his best friend further.

"You're being adorable again," Alistair whispered, cobalt eyes shining. "And I would like nothing more than to go on a date with you."

"Let's go now!" Finian replied with brimming excitement. He gently tugged on the Nightmare's elbow.

"Have you ever seen him so happy?" Lee asked Jack as he watched the other couple leave. He bent to pick up the remnants of Finian's clothes, doing a double take when he came across the jizzed pants. He quickly tossed them all in a laundry basket.

Jack shook his head, tugging his Unicorn into a loose hug. "He deserves to be happy. Hopefully, Al can keep him that way." Jack snorted. "We didn't even get a chance to tell them our big news." Jack stroked his fingers over where Lee'en's robe covered Jack's mating mark.

"Alistair knows. We give off the same mixed scents to others after being mated." Lee'en pointed out as a shiver rolled down his spine. "If he doesn't mention the like to Fin, we'll just tell him later."

Jack cocked his head, his nose wrinkling a bit. "Al smelled us? That's kind of creepy, babe."

Lee'en rolled his eyes. "He didn't intentionally take a long whiff, big guy. The scent is what it is."

"Do we smell bad?" Jack looked disconcerted, he tried to casually sniff himself.

"No, love. It's not that kind of smell. I should have explained it better. What I meant was our bond. The scent of our bond." The Unicorn insisted with a snicker. He kissed the tip of Jack's nose. "Together, we give off a scent of pumpkin pie and raspberry cheesecake."

"Oh." Jack straightened. "That actually sounds kind of nice." The human grinned and swooped down, picking up his tiny mate, making Lee'en's feet leave the floor. "I like you smelling like me, and me smelling like you, all mixed together." He rubbed his nose on Lee's, feeling silly and happy.

"As do I," Lee'en agreed, rubbing back. "So, shall we continue to explore the other rooms of my house together?" He added lasciviously.

"Hmmm, what would be fun to bend you over?" Jack pondered as he began wandering through the house, looking for a good spot, still holding an amused and increasingly aroused Lee'en in his arms. "Ooo, I see a little table that looks like the perfect height...I hope it's strong enough for the pounding I'm going to give you, babe."

"Definitely strong enough. Pound away, pound away!" Lee trilled in reply.
