Part 15 (1/2)

The man looked down at the bulge in his pants. ”Can't I f.u.c.k you?”

”If I wanted you to f.u.c.k me, you'd be hanging there instead of him, wouldn't you?” he sneered. ”Look at him. Do you think I'd choose you over that?”

He lowered his head. ”No, Sir,” he muttered and walked over to Bryce.

Bryce recoiled from him, struggling as the man grabbed his arm and sunk the needle directly into his bicep.

After a few seconds, Bryce's eyelids began to close.

”It was not supposed to knock him out,” Smart protested.

”It's just the initial reaction. In a few minutes, he'll be awake...” he paused then grinned, ”in every way.”

He ran his hands over his aching c.o.c.k, and waited.

IN THE DUNGEON

Tyler lay naked on a stone slab, his wrists tied above his head. He was spread eagle, his ankles tied with rope as well. It was cold. No one had come for hours. Whatever was over his head had been removed, but he was still in darkness. There were bizarre sounds all around him, like hissing and strange whispering. But for some reason, they were comforting, more comforting then the silence.

He thought about Bryce. He imagined that any moment, he would burst into the room and find him like this. They would be all alone. Bryce would have killed off or arrested all the people who had abducted them.

He closed his eyes, about to imagine how Bryce would move his hands over him here in the dark, when the door opened.

Tyler squinted. A thread of light crept in from under the partially opened door but not enough to see clearly.

”Tyler,” the voice whispered, ”it is our time to be together now.”

That voice again. He knew that voice. ”Who are you? What have you done with Bryce Donovan?”

”Again with Donovan,” the voice growled. ”Forget him. I can give you everything...restore you to your rightful place. We will rule the galaxy together.”

A hand moved over his chest and down to his s.e.x. Tyler shuddered. ”Please don't. I want to know what you've done with Bryce.”

Suddenly he heard the sound of feet retreating, than a flood of light a.s.saulted him. Tyler blinked, trying to adjust his eyes. Suddenly, Ethan stood there. He gasped. ”It's you,” he muttered.

”Yes, me,” he laughed harshly. ”Surprised to see me?”

”You're the one who left the drugs...you're Modem,” Tyler accused.

”Yes. I guess you didn't get what you wanted from your Commander after all,” he leaned down and kissed him on the forehead.

He ran his gaze over his naked body.

Tyler guessed the men hadn't mentioned that they were both naked when they had attacked. ”Where is Bryce?” Tyler demanded, struggling against the constraints.

Ethan's eyes grew dark. ”He's been injected with liquid ID. He'll be busy f.u.c.king my a.s.sociate all night and maybe tomorrow as well. After that, well, if the large quality of drug we injected him with doesn't kill him, I plan to kill him myself. Would you like to watch?”

Tyler's face filled with horror. ”No, please, don't. Don't kill him. I'll do anything.”

”Anything?” Ethan grinned.

”Anything.”

”You'll join me, be my exclusive lover?” He leered down at him, wrapping one of his fists around Tyler's c.o.c.k.

Tyler winced from the pressure. ”Yes.”

Ethan considered that for a moment. ”If I agree, then you will have to do one more thing for me.”

”What?”

”You have to tell him that you are in love with me and that in fact, you were in on this all along.”

Tyler's face fell. ”Oh please, don't make me do that,” he pleaded.

”It's either you do it or I give him to one of the inhabitants of this planet to kill, slowly.” His face twisted sinisterly.

”Inhabitants?” Tyler gave him a confused look.

He laughed. ”Vampires. This colony was overrun a long time ago by vampires.”

Tyler tried to remain calm. ”Vampires? Where are we, Ethan?”

”The Planet of the d.a.m.ned,” he murmured, running his gaze over his naked body again.

”But...” Tyler blinked, ”that was just a story, a myth. There were never really any...” ”Believe me, it's no myth,” Ethan replied, moving his thumb over one of Tyler's nipples.

”Aren't you afraid?” Tyler asked, trying to distract him.

He laughed. ”No. They agreed to leave us to ourselves. We promised them that after the takeover, they would be provided with the ruby miracle indefinitely, at no cost. It seems that the ruby reduces the vampires'

reliance on blood.”

Tyler took a breath. It was a little much to take in. He was on a planet populated by vampires. Ethan was a major drug dealer who had plotted the takeover of Ruby Miracle. My G.o.d. He had to think. He knew now that Ethan definitely had a thing for him. If he thought that he returned that affection in any way, maybe he could save himself, and Bryce. All he had to do was convince him that he was willing to go along with him.

Ethan was studying him now. His eyes were filled with pure l.u.s.t. ”Ethan,” Tyler said, ”I can't stand the thought of losing my birthright. I want to reign as the head of Ruby Miracle. If you meant what you said, I am willing to share that power with you.”

Ethan c.o.c.ked his head. ”As my lover?”
