Part 20 (2/2)

Seth looked up at him. Bryce Donovan - fondling his c.o.c.k in back of his police vehicle he would have never guessed it in a thousand years. But here he was, and he was even more stunning to look at than before. He reached out and caressed his skin, his hair. His hair was longer, so s.h.i.+ny, and his skin, so soft.

And the things he was doing to him now with his hands and his mouth, his tongue. His entire body was on fire. And then suddenly, he was inside of him. It seemed as if he was being lifted off the seat. His long hard deep thrusts made his entire body ache for more. He cried out, as his body lost all control. It was being used as an instrument for his pleasure, and in return, it felt as if he were being f.u.c.ked by three, four men at the same time. And it went on and on until he wasn't there anymore.

When he woke up, he was alone. He was dressed and sitting in the front seat of the vehicle. He had several messages from headquarters. ”Where are you, Murdock?”

Suddenly, he pressed on the screen. ”Here. What is it?”

”You won't believe this but the Commander just walked in the door,” Carter said. ”Donovan is back. He's alright.”

Seth started to laugh. He felt hysterical. It was true. He hadn't dreamt it. Bryce Donovan had f.u.c.ked the h.e.l.l out of him in the back of his patrol vehicle.

It took Dr. Talbot longer than he thought to research vampires for Tyler Rose. When he finally did give him the information, he looked doubtful. ”It's dated. They were thought to be extinct.” Tyler nodded. ”I know. It's alright. Anything will do.”

When he phoned Carter the following morning, she took his call right away. When she answered, she was laughing.

”What is it?” Tyler asked her.

”Something incredible has happened, Mr. Rose. Our long lost Commander has come home.”

Tyler gripped the phone. ”Bryce?”

”Yes. He walked in here last night, looking none the worse for wear. He managed to escape. And our vampire scare is over.”

”Oh?”

”Seems there were a few people living on The Planet of the d.a.m.ned, like you said. Bryce said they were madmen who thought they were vampires. Apparently, he had an encounter with them on his way back here, and sent them on their way. They are someone else's problem now. So, I guess you can call off the curfew.”

”Really,” Tyler managed. ”Where is the Commander now?”

”He had to go home and sleep. He said he was really tired.”

Tyler took a breath. It had been Bryce who had come to him last night. He had tried to kill him. He wondered why he was still alive.

Tyler said a hasty goodbye and hung up.

Tears stung his eyes. He hadn't said anything to anyone about the break-in. Given the impenetrability of the mansion, he didn't think anyone would believe him anyway. And of course there was another reason. If he had been Bryce...Dino...well...he didn't want anyone to hurt him.

Bryce had tried to kill him. Each time he told himself that, he felt actual pain. After racking his brain for the reason, he could only come to one conclusion. Those words Ethan had forced him to say, somehow they had penetrated. Bryce thought that he'd betrayed him. He had to find him. He had to tell him the truth.

THE CLUBS

Since the first moment he had been summoned to Ruby City, he had been here to work. But, no more. Finally, he would get to savour the delights that abounded here.

Earlier he had spoken to Carter who was disappointed to hear that he was not returning to the military. ”I don't even think you can do that, Bryce,” she said as they sat together in a little coffee shop in the center of Ruby City.

”Well, I've paid my dues,” he said deeply. ”Technically, I'm dead, remember?” He grinned. She'd never fully grasp the nuance of that joke!

She shook her head. ”I'm sure I can get you an honourable discharge, given that you are now legally a citizen of Ruby City. Jack Rose did give you the papers?”

”He promised me,” Dino said softly. ”I never saw anything in writing.”

”Umm, I'd contact Tyler Rose and make sure that...”

He gave her a harsh laugh.

”I know it's hard to believe but he is the supreme ruler,” Carter cautioned him.

”I arrested his a.s.s more than once. He's the supreme idiot if you ask me.”

”Bryce,” she looked around, ”you can be thrown in prison for that.”

”Yes, such a democracy we live in, the epitome of free speech and liberty. And you wonder why I don't want to risk my a.s.s to protect this place anymore?”

And what a nice a.s.s it is, Sam thought. Gorgeous was saying it lightly. And lately, well, there was something else...he was just so s.e.xual...his hair, his eyes. Um. d.a.m.n, she should have accosted him back on Sentra. ”Nevertheless,” she gave him a faint smile, ”you do need him to give you the official doc.u.ments.” Dino tightened his lips.

”You know,” she said, ”in his speech when he took over for the old man, Tyler Rose appeared as if he was going to loosen things up a bit.”

”He's loose alright,” he told her with a smirk, ”but not in the way you might imagine.” He stood up now when she gave him a curious look. ”Well, Sam, since I am just an ordinary citizen of this fair city tonight, I'm going to give it a taste.”
