Enslaving the King

Chapter 7

Hayden looked up from his office chair, eyes roving over Raine. “Nice look , cupcake.” Raine had dressed just as nicely as Hayden was execting.

“Before we do anything,” Raine said. “There’s...something I should show you.”

“Oh, is it something real kinky , babe?” Hayden's eyebrows wiggled.

Raine rolled his eyes. “You don’t know the meaning of that word do you?”

“Sure I do.”

Raine wasted no time. He turned around, bent at the waist, and thrusted his ass out. It might have been a sexy gesture but-

Hayden was caught off guard. It took a few seconds to process a string of emotions. Soulmark. Stinging.

Pain.

Not mine.

And then he was laughing. Hard. Forcing down everything else but that tiny amusement and magnifying it beyond itself. “Oh, you weren’t kidding. A soulmark on your ass ?” Hayden howled, feeling like he might bust his gut, bent over himself and almost crying. His face tingled under the mask. “That’s friggin’ hilarious. Yeah, this was a good idea, I would’ve been crying too much to be turned on by that cute ass- needed to get the surprise over with!”

Raine faced Hayden again, scowling. “Oh, shut up. It’s not that funny.”

“Isn't it?” Hayden said, mock-wiping a tear away. “It's on your ass, Raine. Your soul mark is just....making it glow like the golden treasure it is, haha. But boy, with how you were acting, I thought this was gonna be something major, huh - like that you had three butt cheeks or something.”

Raine looked down, an odd expression on his face. “Well, for some people it is something major.”

“Raine, come on, babe, do I look like a some people to you?”

Raine met his eyes again. Then gave a small smile. He seemed....somewhat relieved. “Nope. You look just like you, Hayden.”

Hayden smiled back. “Super hot? Stunning? Gorgeous? Always on his A game? Great. Glad we agree. Now are we gonna bang or what?”

Hayden paced his office, chewing his lip. He couldn’t contain the angry energy buzzing through his limbs, the flashes of blood in his thoughts. He was in a very particular mood, not quite anger, not quite excitement, but unable to stop or relax, heartbeat pounding, thoughts growing more chaotic with each step. He needed some…some way to just…let it all loose. Normally he'd just find some bonehead slacker to strangle.

But there was also another method of letting loose. 

He glanced at the time. It was still two more hours before Raine came in. 

Raine's performance these last few weeks had been nothing short of wonderful . And he was thoroughly pleased with this new outlet of his. Not that he was going to let the kid know that. Oh no, Raine was going to have to work a lot harder to earn such praise, considering his ego was already the size of Elpis. And maybe be a bit less of a pain in the ass too, while he was at it.

Hayden called Raine. Raine had barely picked up when he started talking, “hey, you have any objections to coming in early, cupcake?” Anticipation mounted, pacing steps growing faster. His thoughts were twisting tighter and tighter with each step. Please say yes-

“Um, yeah, sure. Why not?”

Hayden did a fist pump. “Great. Get your tight ass up here ASAP.” That ass. Tight. Perfect. Glowing gold.

Not mine. His thoughts whispered, the soulmark glaring in his eyelids. Why did that even matter? Raine was a w***e, nothing more. “I’ve got a lil surprise for you.” And oh boy did he. It was perfect.

“Do you need me to bring anything-?” Raine started, his voice huskier.

“Nope. Just you. Immediately.”

“I’ll be there soon.”

“Great.”

Hayden rubbed his face hard through the mask, a growl of deep frustration rising in his throat. Soulmarks were bullshit. Deep down, even the most stupid romantic i***t would admit that in the dead of the night to themselves. He knew it. They knew it. The whole f*****g galaxy knew it. All it took was a quick Echo search to learn how many had been betrayed by their marks or their supposed "soulmates ". It was all chance, not fate. He shouldn’t even think about it. Pathetic.

He wouldn’t. He couldn't. 

He didn't even like the kid. He didn't want dudes, and…

Raine. 

Raine was just a w***e. All of his little addicting noises and blown-eyed, flushed looks were purely for show. He knew it. Raine knew it. 

Sex plus pay…. That was Raine. If he stopped paying, Raine stopped dealing.

Hayden slammed his fist against the desk. He didn't want Raine as a soulmate, of course, the thought was massively absurd. But he couldn’t shake the feeling he did want to own Raine. In what way, though...? Put chains on him or...something. It was a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time. But it was different. Even now. Maybe even more dangerous. He suspected it had to do with that defiance Raine lobbed at him so confidently and the part of Hayden that wanted to tear it down and bare Raine completely. 

This wasn't soulmates. The implication of love was f*****g ridiculous.

It was lust. Dominance even. A power play. 

Raine just looked good with his lips stretched around Hayden. Raine looked good coming apart. He looked good with no defiance left in his eyes, tears on his pink face. 

Raine was just a w***e. Nothing more.

Hayden looked up, spotting Raine strolling into the office. His eyes narrowed, and for once, he wasn’t really paying attention to Raine’s attire, despite knowing it’d be lovely. “I’ve been needing this all day…” Slipped out before he could stop it. "I...I need to..." His hands shook. He clenched them to stop that.

“Hayden?” Raine asked, brows rising. He gestured. "You alright?" 

Hayden ignored that. “Take it off. All of it.”

Raine complied. He seemed to sense the urgency, because he wasted no time stripping down to nothing.

Hayden beckoned toward his chair and desk. Raine followed, an unexpected smile tugging on his lips. If he kept that up, Hayden was going to f**k it off his stupidly hot face. Seriously. Where did they make guys like this?

“What’s this surprise?” Raine asked in a suggestive voice. “Can’t wait to see it.”

Hayden always had a bit of trouble reading Raine. A bit of trouble seeing what was genuine or what was part of his p********e persona, what Raine was really thinking at any given moment. It both impressed and bothered him. Raine could've been quite a businessman himself, he thought. But it didn’t really matter. There were ways to destroy that front and get to the man underneath, or so he had discovered. It was the only thing stopping Hayden from ending this little game between them.

Okay. Maybe not the only thing.

Hayden walked over to his desk and opened a drawer with a black and silver box in it. He picked it up and tossed it at Raine. Raine caught and opened it. His face had the decency to look surprised. For all of two seconds, anyway, before neutralizing again. He cleared his throat and met Hayden's gaze.

“Any objections?” Hayden demanded, impatience winning over.

“None.” Raine sat the box on the desk and pulled out the dark leather band within. It was studded with gold but made to be soft to the touch. A collar. Raine eyed it for several moments. Hayden crossed the distance between them, yanked the collar from Raine’s hands and hooked it around Raine’s throat. It sure did have a lovely, smooth texture. “Hayden-”

Hayden secured it, making sure it was snug against the skin. “Still good?” He demanded, hooking two fingers in to test the breathing room. Excellent.

“Y-yes.”

“Now for the best part,” Hayden purred. He grabbed the leash from his pocket, a glittery pretty thing. He latched it on the collar.  “Yeah that looks good on you, sweetcheeks.”

“Wow this is quite a leap,” Raine said. He gripped the leash. Hayden encouraged him towards the chair by tugging the leash. Raine followed, pupils dilated and cheeks tinting red. “Is this something you’ve been sitting on, or….?”

Hayden chuckled and yanked, catching Raine off guard and making him stumble into him. Hayden let his hand run over Raine’s back. His skin was crazy soft, inviting. He caught the color. The gold. That glow. He peered down at Raine’s ass. Who needed a stupid soulmark. There were such better marks that could be put in the skin.

“You gettin’ cold feet, sir?” Raine breathed against his neck, brushing it with his lips.

Hayden did it before he really considered it. A sharp c***k as his hand connected with Raine’s ass. Raine hissed, fingers digging into Hayden. “Fuck.” Hayden wondered if it would bruise. Hoped it would. Anything to diminish that stupid mark. Whoever laid claim to it would know Hayden had been there.

“Who is it?” Hayden asked.

“What?”

Hayden hesitated, realizing what he said. He just slammed his palm against Raine’s ass again, working another noise from Raine. He should stop, should really stop-

“For having such big hands, you sure hit like a baby.”

Hayden slapped his ass harder than before. Raine grunted. Hayden tangled his left hand into Raine’s hair and yanked him back to look into his eyes. He loosened his hold. “Kneel.”

Raine smirked. “How about you make me?” Hayden felt a surge of pure annoyance. He yanked Raine onto his knees as he’d asked. Raine laughed, though it sounded somewhat pained. “Yeah, that’s the stuff-”

“I’d cuff you but your hands are pretty damn useful,” Hayden said. He sat in his chair, pulling Raine closer. He opened his pants. “Same deal about gaggin’ your pretty mouth.” Hayden pulled his d**k out. He was already fairly hard from the sight of Raine in that collar alone. And from the s******g he’d dealt him. Hayden made no effort to hide this. Hayden tilted his head, something occurring to him  “On second thought, no hands until I say so. Let’s see if you're any good without ‘em.”

“I’m the best with or without hands. I had to go without one for a long time, anyway.” Raine shifted to a presumably more comfortable position, then leaned in and kissed the very tip of Hayden's c**k. He licked the side, smug as ever. “Hands or not, I’ll have you cumming in minutes. And you know it.”

Hayden was getting tired of Raine’s arrogance. He yanked the leash, a warning. “Not this time."

Raine’s brow furrowed. "Oh yeah, and wh-"

“You told me once you can go slow. Give me a good time, kitten,” Hayden hissed. “Oh, and you can’t touch yourself, either.”

Raine’s smile softened and he gazed hungrily at Hayden. “Whatever you wish, sir.” He lowered his face and continued to mouth along Hayden's d**k. He paused and looked up, eyelids fluttering. God, Raine could look so very pornographic at times. Hayden resisted the urge to squirm in impatience. He’d decided to slow this down, but he was already...regretting that. He’d rather just f**k Raine’s throat. He had so much to just let out. Raine spoke in a gentle tone. “I love your c**k, sir… I love it when it’s hard and throbbing and leaking for me…” Hayden felt his breath hitch and his eyes widening. It was getting hot and damp under his mask, and a stream of pleasure curled up inside of him. No, he was hot right up to the tips of his ears, small sounds at the edges of his breathing he hadn’t realized he was making. His d**k throbbed. He couldn’t be close, though. They’d just started. 

“I love it when it’s soft, too,” Raine sighed, air brushing gently across Hayden's sensitive skin. “It’s so very gorgeous and precious. It’s basically gold. But better.” His tongue swiped up the length a couple times. “And you know how much I love gold… And I love how you feel in my mouth, the taste of you.” He lightly sucked on the head. “I love it, from the base of your balls, to the tip of the head.”

Raine...for lack of a better word... nuzzled his d**k, holding it up with his face and peering at Hayden around it. His eyes were hooded, dark, face flushed. “I love everything about your c**k….I’d worship it like a religion if you’d let me-” Raine’s kissed his d**k. “I’d worship you .”

Hayden gasped, voice pitching embarrassingly, and ejaculated across Raine’s face. Raine flinched and gazed up at Hayden with a careful expression, one eye closed as c*m dripped from his eyebrow, more of it dotting his face. Even a bit in his-

“Did you just get c*m in my hair?!” Raine hissed. “Do you know how long it takes me to style this-? How hard I work to keep it soft and lush!? Then you go putting your- your semen in it!”

Hayden thought quickly. “Yeaah, sooo...I um-” Hayden cleared his throat. He thought quickly. “Meant to do that. That’s for being a little shit.” He was amazing at improvising. He mentally patted his own back.

“You meant to c*m after twenty seconds of foreplay?” Raine asked incredulously.

Hayden resisted the urge to shift. “Yeah, also I’m...just…really potent today, cupcake. It happens. I mean. I c*m in my dreams like…eighty percent of the time. But not last night. Been needing it bad. And why use my hand when I have your face nearby.” He grinned at Raine. “Oh and uh, I guess you can uh, get a tissue off my desk and wipe that eye - and oh so precious hair - if you need to.” Hayden loosened his hold on the leash to allow that.

"This hair is half the reason I'm so irresistible-" Raine glared, but any attempt to be taken seriously was hampered by the mess on his face. Raine seemed to realize this and paused to clean up as best he could with the tissues. He turned back to Hayden. Hayden braced for more complaining. Instead...a grin cracked Raine's face, irritation melting. He looked quite amused. He started laughing. “Oh- oh my god, you- you just can’t control yourself at all, can you? Or do you just like praise that much?”

“What the hell does that mean?”

“I basically breathed on your d**k and you were finished ,” he guffawed. “And there I was, gonna- gonna do one of those slow builds! Amazing!” 

“I’m-” Hayden was burning under the mask again. “What do you expect from a stallion , Raineie?!”

“Oh my god- well, I guess you are fast like a horse, aren’t you-?”

Hayden jerked on the leash, pulling Raine right off his feet and into his lap. “Say that again. I dare ya."

“You’re fast, you’re fast,” Raine chanted, laughing. "You're fast!"

“I’m gonna-” 

“Gonna what?” Raine batted his lashes up at him. Evil. Just pure evil.

“-gonna teach you a goddamned lesson, pumpkin.”

“I can’t wait for that to be a genuine threat.”

“Oh, but it is!” Hayden tightened the collar enough to get Raine's attention. The confidence in Raine’s gaze flickered for a minute. Finally. And god, Hayden did mean it. Hayden slapped Raine’s ass, knocking the rest of the amusement right off his face. With the collar, Hayden pulled Raine’s head down hard against his chest, forcing the w***e into submission. He hesitated just a moment to see if Raine might use his safe word. Raine didn’t. Hayden hit his ass again, harder. And again, and again, listening closely for any sign that it was too much…

Raine sobbed, a sound that he couldn’t tell if it was filled with arousal or pain or both. Hayden stopped and pulled Raine’s head up, looking into his glistening eyes where tears had built up. Raine shivered. Hayden was a bit subdued by the sight. More than he thought he’d be. “Hey, you green, kitten? Or do you need a minute?”

Raine drew a shuddering breath, hands bracing against Hayden's chest. “‘M good, sir. Green as a garden.” He seemed to force a smile.

“Great.” Hayden scooted them both forward, to the desk. “Up. Onto the desk there, babe.” Hayden said. He finally let go of the leash. Raine complied, albeit slowly. He panted for a few moments before sitting up and backing to the desk. He winced when his butt made contact with the solid surface. That… Well, Hayden thought he’d feel more pleased by that. But now he wondered if he’d gone a bit too hard on the kid. And that just wasn’t fun. He didn’t want to... genuinely hurt Raine. Well, maybe a little. Not a lot. Unless… Raine really really liked it. 

Raine's smile seem to become more genuine. “Hayden? What’s the matter, am I just too hot you can't stop staring at me for even one second?”

Seemed about right. Raine wasn’t quite ruined. Yet. Hayden was annoyed at himself for even thinking Raine might be. Raine might look like a twig, but he wasn’t that fragile. Well, he was going to have to fix that, wasn’t he? Raine’s hard c**k was giving him plenty of options. Hayden considered them. He knew he wouldn’t be ready to c*m again for awhile, but he didn’t need his d**k to shut this little w***e up. “Lay down. On your back.”

Raine lay back. Hayden's hands spread his legs, exposing him fully. He pushed Raine’s thighs up to assess the damage he’d done beneath. Raine’s ass was already darkening around the soulmark, and that, that did fill Hayden with vindictive pleasure. He let one hand trail down and squeeze. Raine groaned. If Hayden weren’t incapable of getting hard again so soon, he'd be pounding the guy.

He wouldn’t mind f*****g that soulmark apart.

Hayden opened his desk and pulled out the lube he always kept on hand. He popped the cap and squirted it onto his fingers. With his other hand, he spread Raine’s ass to see what he was working with. A hole, of course. Couldn’t be much different than getting a woman ready, right?

Raine jumped when Hayden pressed the lube into it. Hayden slid his finger in, spreading the lube. Hayden leaned in and licked his c**k. Raine gasped. Raine blinked down at him, the coloring in his face getting darker. If Hayden had any reservations, that was the end of them.

“I swear,” Hayden grunted, gazing into the mismatched eyes. “I just...keep thinking about what it looks like when…”

“When what?” Raine asked, fingers clenching on the edge of the desk. “Tell me-”

“I admit, Raineie, I’ve never done this before with a man… But I imagine you won’t begrudge me... experimenting a bit.” He chuckled.

Raine’s eyes widened, and he shook his head. “N-no, of course not. Please, experiment . That’s what I’m here for- But don’t feel compelled to finish, if-if-” 

“You think this is gonna bother me?” Hayden breathed. He moved in closer. “Come on, I’m Lord Goddamned Hayden. This is nothing.” Hayden gripped Raine's c**k and licked it. Hayden sucked a little on the side, before brushing his lips to the base and back up again. He opened his mouth and went down on Raine, taking him into his mouth. He was mindful of his teeth. Raine’s back arched, but he seemed to be restraining himself from squirming too much. Hayden sucked and listened to his breathing picking up. Hayden was a fast learner. He knew how Raine treated him when sucking his d**k, so he used his own tongue. Raine moaned so loud, Hayden's c**k did twitch as if it were about to erect again. Raine’s hand flew to his mouth as if to suppress it. All it really seemed to take to turn Raine into a mess was to turn the pleasure back onto him, Hayden realized. And god was that satisfying in so many ways. Breaking Raine apart like that. It seemed to be...getting easier every time, too.

Hayden let go of Raine’s d**k and grinned at him. "God, if I'm fast, then you’re easy , baby, sooo easy. You gonna laugh at me when you start moaning and twitching after a couple licks? When you submit this quickly? As if you last that long yourself, pumpkin.” Hayden sucked on Raine’s foreskin.

“H-ha, you really don’t h-have a right to-” Raine cut off on a groan. “God- hng , you’re way easier than me-!” Raine panted. “I've been hard a lot longer than- Oh god, yeah, just like that... yeah… More, now- ” Hayden decided this was the perfect moment to slide his lubed fingers back inside of Raine, exploring him. Hayden found when he hit a certain spot, Raine practically sobbed. “God yes !” Hayden kept the pressure there, rubbing hard and fast. “Hayden...I’m gonna...gonna come .”

“Do it, then.” Hayden's hand moved faster, and he slicked his tongue up and down Raine’s shaft.

“Hayden.... Hayden !” Raine came, spilling c*m across his stomach and chest. “Oh...unngh, Hayden .” He brushed his hands through Hayden's hair. “f**k…that was good… Really good.” Hayden leaned back and gazed into Raine's eyes. 

“Well, duh, what’d you expect from Lord Hayden, baby?”

Raine smiled. “If you don’t mind my asking...how’d you know about the fingering?”

“God, I didn’t say I was a friggin’ virgin- I said I’d never done it with a man . You think women don’t like a bit of fingering?! Or you only out there servicing dudes?”

“O-oh,” Raine said, flushing with embarrassment. “Right. Ahem. Right.”

Hayden surged over Raine and pressed their lips together, pinning him against the desk. It was the first time he’d connected their mouths like this, come to think of it. A kiss… But it wasn’t gentle by any means. He’d been thinking about ravaging those soft lips for quite awhile now. And he did. He bit and sucked, working noises out of Raine all the while. More marks on Raine. It wasn’t enough to just mark his ass. He needed to mark more, more than that stupid gold mark. He’d mark every inch of his body with bruises and hickeys and-

Raine was his w***e. No one else's. 

Raine’s legs went to his waist, curling around him. 

Hayden was surprised when he felt his d**k hardening. He didn't think enough time had passed for it to be doing that already. Not that he was gonna complain. He broke the kiss. Raine's lips were red and swollen and so perfect. Hayden was going to have to do that again before the next time Raine sucked him off. But right now, he had more important things to consider. “Well, whaddya know, pumpkin! I think I’m ready to f**k ya now, if you still want-”

“Yes, pleaase,” Raine begged. “God, please.”

Finally. Finally. Finally past that smart mouth. “Keep begging.”

“Hayden, I want your d**k inside me, f**k, I need it, please just do it-”

Hayden pulled Raine closer to the edge of the desk. He lined his hardened d**k up with Raine’s hole and took a brief moment to think, this is it. After this, there’d be no going back on what their routine would look like. He thought about that soulmark...and threw his hips forward, hard, as if to knock Raine off the desk. He held Raine in place, though, making him take it all.

Hayden didn’t know what he was expecting, but it was tight and hot and slick and that was all the incentive he needed to keep going. Raine whined and gripped onto his lapels, gasping viciously as if he’d been drowning a moment ago. 

“God, Hayden,  yes…Fuck me!”

"Yeah, f**k you, princess."

"Mmmff, shut up-" 

It felt so good. So f*****g good. God why did he wait so long to try this? “You look good like this, baby,” Hayden said. Raine’s legs squeezed tighter around him. “So good ..” He wrapped his hand around Raine's soft neck, fingers digging into that weird tattoo. “Fuck.” Hayden sucked in a breath. “I’ve been needing to ruin you all day. Just break all that sass and bossiness-”

Raine came first as Hayden murmured against his neck. He whimpered and clung to Hayden, hands clawing into his coat.

Hayden forced another o****m out of him before he himself came with Raine clenched tight around him. They both slumped against the desk, gasping for breath. “Friggin hell, kitten,” Hayden whispered. “You’ve done so good today.” Yes. f*****g Raine out was so good. Raine always did good. So so good. "You've...been perfect since day one," Hayden accidentally let slip. 

"I...you..." Raine's face was trying to cover something up, Hayden could tell. "Um...yeah, you know it."

Raine followed Hayden when the other sat up, wincing. Even Hayden felt pretty sore. “Take the rest of the night off, Raine.”

“Mm, you sure?”

“Yeah. Yeah. I'm good.”

“Alright…”

….

"Isn't it amazing!" Raine exclaimed at his friends over dinner. "Hayden said I've been doing good! I think Hayden actually likes me! I mean, not like like me," he laughed nervously, "that'd be crazy, but likes me as a person- or you know, maybe not like, I mean he is Lord Hayden- But he's happy and that's. Oooh Bryant's gonna be pissed-"

Both Vaughn and Yvette looked at him and exclaimed. "Oh my god, shut up, Raine!"

"Thank god he can't give actual details, right??" Vaughn laughed. "Is he always like this?"

"Always," Yvette replied.

Vaughn sighed. 

"I can still hear you!" Raine frowned. "and you have no right to judge, Vaughn, after walking into the bathroom the other day while I was peeing and proceeding to start a conversation about someone you hate-"

"Okay okay jeeze! You should've locked if you didn't want someone to come in!"

"How about we go for drinks and a movie," Yvette said. "Raine can celebrate his crush semi-liking him in bed-"

"Oh come on-" 

"And we can just chill."

"Sounds like a deal!" Vaughn yelled before Raine could protest any further. "You all wanna watch the new B&B movie!?"

Now it was Yvette's turn to sigh. "Only if you're buying."

"I'm outta cash right now..."

They both looked at Raine. 

"Oh my God. You two... Fine."

"Hey, I'm not the one with a bajillion dollars lying around, bro!" Vaughn's Echo rang. "Oh BRB, sorry, I gotta take this." He leapt up and hurried out of the room. They heard the apartment door slam. 

Yvette remarked. "That was odd."

"Maybe he's got a girlfriend?"

"Doubt it."

Raine and Yvette laughed.
