Game of Deception

Unexpected Truth

Kai couldn’t believe his ears. Blaze told him that Skylar steals from his targets after sleeping with them so how in the hell is he still a virgin?

“To be fair, you don’t look like a novice in this situation.” Kai comments.

“Because I’m not.” Skylar says. “I just never go all the way. You can’t just have s*x with anyone, you know. Johnny says I’m such a prude for that.” he grins.

So it is true. The son of Aphrodite probably uses his powers to satisfy his previous targets without going all the way.

Or maybe he really is good.

Kai shakes the thoughts away. That’s not his priority right now.

“That’s unexpected considering how seductive you are with me.” Kai continues in hoping that the son of Aphrodite would slip up.

“I don’t know. You seem easy but you seem hard too. I can’t read you at all.” the raven head pouts. “Things were going well tonight but some dude had to ruin it by drugging me.”

Kai hums as he gently strokes the other’s exposed chest. “How did you want the night to end?”

Skylar looks at him with half-lidded eyes, Kai thinks he might just lose it. “I wanted to make you feel good.”

“Such a pity,” Kai trails his hand across the other’s chest. “Some other time, maybe. Right now you need to get some rest.”

“Stop treating me like I’m sick or something, I’m not completely out of it.” Skylar whines.

Kai checks his wristwatch, it has almost been thirty minutes since Skylar consumed the drink. It won’t take long until he’s fully knocked out.

“Come on,” Kai slowly helps him sit up. “I’m taking you to your room.”

“Sir, if you’re taking me there to tuck me into bed then you might as well find a new assistant.” he threatens as Kai practically slumps the raven head’s body against his.

Kai chuckles at that. He shouldn’t find Skylar charming at all but he can’t help it. Drunk and horny Skylar is just as charming as the seductive and mischievous Skylar he knows.

Skylar was literally thrown onto the bed the moment they entered the bedroom. Skylar groans while Kai watches in amusement as the younger struggled to find a comfortable position on the bed. It was hard since his whole body feels like seaweed at this point.

“Should I call Johnny to tell him what happened?” Kai asks as he takes out Skylar’s phone from his back pocket. He sees seven missed calls from the son of Eros and several unread messages. “He seems worried.”

Skylar furrows his brows and shakes his head. “No… he’ll end up thinking that I’m not going to pull this off, I don’t need his help.”

The corner of Kai’s lips curve upwards. Bingo. “Where would you need his help for?”

With that, Skylar’s eyes suddenly widen. He blinks a couple of times and bites his bottom lip in frustration. “My job as an assistant. He thinks I can’t handle it.” he flippantly says. “He’ll make me quit this job if he finds out about my careless mistake.”

Kai nods. That was a nice save but it’s not like it would change anything. “That’s troublesome, I want to keep you with me as long as possible. Let’s keep it a secret, shall we?” he places his finger against his lips.

Relief was shown in Skylar’s expression. “Yeah, I’d like that.”

They fall into comfortable silence for a moment until Skylar decides to break it by reaching out to grab Kai’s wrist. “You know what else we should keep a secret?” he asks, voice turning suggestive.

He doesn’t know when to give up. Kai internally sighs but it’s not like he’s complaining. In fact, he feels the thrill running down his spine. Skylar is truly dangerous.

Skylar’s hand still manages to move from Kai’s wrist, to his thighs then right onto his crotch. “You’re half-hard.” Skylar grins. “Having dirty thoughts, boss?”

Kai catches Skylar’s hand and pins it onto the mattress. “Can you blame me though? You’re basically offering yourself to me right now. Do you even know what you’re doing?”

Screw his mission. Screw reporting his progress to Blaze and Hermes. Screw being cautious. Kai is risking it all just for tonight.

“Yeah, I know.” Skylar answers as he tries to get up on his elbows. He manages to do it but Kai simply pushes him back down onto the bed. “f**k, I said I don’t wanna sleep yet!” he whines.

“Who says your sleeping?”

Skylar gives him a confused look. “Then why are you stopping me?”

“You know how to make someone feel good, right?” Skylar impatiently nods. “Have you ever experienced that though?”

“No, it’s not what I’m supposed to do.” Skylar replies.

“Let me make you feel good. That’s what your supposed to do now.” Kai says.

“But--”

“That’s an order.” Kai cuts him off. “Besides as much as I want to know how good you are at sucking c**k, you’re way too out of it for that.” he laughs.

Skylar was about to counter him again when Kai leaned down to kiss him. The son of Ares unzips the ravenhead’s jeans and pulls it off without breaking their kiss.

“Stop… wait--” Skylar gasps as he turns his head to break the kiss.

“Relax, I guarantee that you’ll still be a virgin by the time you wake up tomorrow.” that was by far the weirdest thing Kai has ever told someone.

Skylar sighs in defeat, his pupils were dilated and he felt incredibly hot. “Okay,”

Kai kisses him again, Skylar willingly opens up for Kai’s tongue to plunge in. Skylar returns the kiss as Kai continues to unbutton his shirt. Skylar suddenly giggles and Kai pulls away out of curiosity.

“What’s so funny?” he c***s an eyebrow at the younger.

“It’s like your tongue f*****g my mouth.” he giggles again.

“f**k, you’re adorable.” Kai comments before resuming their kiss. It didn’t last long this time because Kai started trailing kisses down onto his neck. The pale and smooth skin was begging to be marked so Kai didn’t pass on that. He trails lower until he reaches a n****e. He latches his lips on one while he rolled the other between his thumb and index finger.

Skylar’s back arches off the mattress as he lets out a moan. Kai definitely wanted to hear that again. Kai switches to the other nub and grins in satisfaction at the string if curses and moans spilling out of Skylar’s lips.

“Kai, please.” Skylar mewls.

Kai looks up at him. Aphrodite’s son is begging? “Hmm?”

“I want to cum.” he whimpers.

Kai’s self-control deserves a round of applause because Skylar is making it harder (no pun intended) for him. Not to mention that Skylar’s pheromones were also spiralling out of control. Good thing Kai took two pills or else.

Kai moves lower onto Skylar’s thighs. He kisses his inner thighs and left kisses and bitemarks. There was already an obvious stain on Skylar’s underwear and Kai almost felt bad for teasing the other.

He unbuttons his pants and pulls his c**k out of his underwear. He grabs Skylar by the knees and slips his c**k between Skylar’s thighs.

“A-aah fuck.” Skylar gasps.

He slings the younger’s legs over his shoulders as he slowly thrusted. His precum served as a good lubricant and the friction of his d**k against Skylar’s clothed erection was amazing.

He was able to pick a rhythm and he began thrusting. Skylar moans out a broken “More,” so Kai momentarily stops to pull the younger’s underwear down. He starts thrusting against Skylar’s slick thighs, the tip of his length grazes the younger’s balls.

Skylar’s knuckles nearly turn white as he grips the sheets tightly. Kai reaches over to tug at Skylar’s leaking c**k, Aphrodite’s son moans even louder.

It only takes a few more tugs until Skylar’s spilling all over his chest. Kai slows down to let him come down from his high. Once Skylar relaxes, he chases his own orgasm and it doesn’t take long until Skylar feels Kai’s c*m slicking up his thighs.

“You liked that?” Kai whispers before giving him a quick heated kiss.

Skylar was too out of it to even open his eyes. He snickers. “Not bad.”

“Not bad?” Kai repeats as he gently drops Skylar’s legs onto the bed. He fixes his pants and gets off the bed.

He wasn’t able to get any response since Skylar has fallen asleep by then. He pulls the sheets to cover Skylar up. He can clean himself up when he wakes up, Kai has already done enough for him tonight.

He takes one more look at the son of Aphrodite before leaving the room. It was weird. Skylar is the one that got drugged but Kai could say that the younger is acting like a drug on him right now. He wants more but he knows it’s dangerous.

“Madame Aphro is gonna flip once she finds out that her son hooked up with a son of Ares.” Kai smirks as he walks towards the door.

“Goodnight Skylar.” he whispers before turning off the lights and heading to his room.

Skylar wakes up in the most uncomfortable way as possible. His head was pounding, his body hurts and he felt… Sticky?

He slowly got up but it felt like a jackhammer was drilling into his head. His shirt was opened and his underwear was pulled down all the way to his knees. What shocked him the most was the half-dried sticky fluid all over his stomach and thighs.

“f**k, f**k, f**k, fuck.” he curses. He couldn’t remember anything right after they left the bar. It was all a big blur.

He runs his fingers through his hair and groans in frustration. He recalls a stranger hitting on him then Kai assisting him out of the bar.

“Oh no… no way,” he says in horror as he pulls the sheets away. His bedsheets were a complete mess.

The door suddenly opens and Skylar quickly pulls the sheets to cover himself up. Kai nonchalantly enters his room while carrying a glass of water.

“I thought I heard something, it’s good that you’re finally awake.” his boss says as he places the glass on his bedside table. “I bought some aspirin for your headache.”

Skylar’s cheeks heat up in embarrassment. He recalls kissing Kai but it looks like they went further than that. Normally it would have been him in control. Kai should have been the one drunk, not him. He should have been done with his mission by now.

“How much does it hurt?” Kai asks.

Skylar flinches at the question. “Did… did we? Uhm… You know,” he mutters.

“I was asking about your headache.” Kai chuckles. “No, we didn’t go that far so don’t worry because I kept my promise to let you keep your virginity.” he laughs.

Skylar turns even redder. “What makes you think I’m a virgin?” he tried to sound composed.

“You said it,” Kai shrugs. “You probably can’t remember anything since you got roofied last night.”

Skylar recalls the stranger and winces. “Oh f**k, not again.”

“You mentioned that it wasn’t the first time it happened last night too.” Kai gives him the medicine. “Drink up, you should clean up after this.”

Skylar wanted to die of embarrassment. Embarrassment and nervousness are rare emotions for him since he’s the son of Aphrodite but right now he’s just completely malfunctioning.

Skylar drinks the aspirin and silently mumbles a thank you. “What about work?” he asks.

“I took the day off so it’s fine. You’re still in no condition to work.” Kai answers.

“I’m sorry.” he purses his lips. “I was careless and stupid. You can give me extra work for the next days as compensation for today.”

“No need, last night was enough compensation.” Kai playfully says. Skylar looks away. “Your friend has been calling since last night by the way. You should return his messages and calls soon.”

Skylar just wanted to sleep for the next ten days. He does not have the energy to deal with Johnny and his questions.

“I suggest that you take a shower for now. I should call room service to change your sheets. We made quite a mess last night.”

“We?!” Skylar exclaims.

Kai raises an eyebrow at him. “Who else?” he asks matter-of-factly.

“But we did not… You didn’t… “

“We did not f**k. I did not f**k you.” Kai assures as he tosses a bathrobe in Skylar’s direction. 

Still confused as ever, Skylar wears the bathrobe and slowly gets up from the bed. He takes one more glance at Kai before scurrying towards the bathroom.

He tries his best to recall whatever happened as he was showering. He wasn’t able to control his pheromones because he got too drunk and carried away. He was also dumb enough to accept drinks from strangers for the sake of being left alone again. Thank goodness Kai was there, he would’ve ended up on a stranger’s bed if he wasn’t.

But it’s not like dealing with the awkward atmosphere with Kai is any better. If it wasn’t for his pride, he’d call the mission off and go home.

Once he was done, he notices a new towel at the rack and a fresh set of clothes by the sink. Kai must have entered without him noticing. He heaves a long and tired sigh. He made his boss, a corporate heir, play babysitter for him. As he was putting on the clothes, he notices a bunch of hickeys at his neck and thighs and right then he recalls the scorching heat left by Kai’s lips.

He feels the embarrassment once again. It was never supposed to turn out like this. He should be having breakfast right now at some fancy restaurant right after stealing from his target. He’s not supposed to be having a mental breakdown over how his target touched him in ways no one has ever touched before. He might have gone until third base with his previous targets but he always makes sure that everything stops before they could return the favor for him. This was an entirely new situation and he’s freaking out.

Aphrodite’s children never freak out! People freak out because of them!

Kai was sitting by the couch and watching TV when he leaves the bathroom. He sees a cleaning lady carrying a bundle of dirty sheets leaving his room. He avoids eye contact but he doesn’t miss the smug and suggestive look she gives him.

“Did you have breakfast, sir?” he asks Kai.

“Not yet.”

“I’ll go and make some then.” he heads to the kitchen. He quickly prepares a sandwich and tea and brings it over to Kai.

“Aren’t you eating?” Kai asks.

“I think I need to answer Johnny’s calls first, he might be worried.” Kai nods at him so he enters his room to take his phone. The cleaning lady was changing the sheets by then.

“It seems like you and your boyfriend had a fun night. Please use a condom or at least clean up quickly to avoid stains on sheets.” she tells him.

“He’s not my boyfriend, he’s my boss.” Skylar corrects but he quickly regrets it when the cleaning lady grins.

“Ah, so it’s that kind of relationship.”

“You know what, forget it. Stop probing.” he scoffs and leaves his room. He nearly trips on his way out when he sees over thirty missed calls and fifty messages from Johnny. His battery is about to die. He makes sure that Kai is not paying attention to him before dialling Johnny’s number.

“Where the f**k were you?! I was worried sick! What the f**k happened?!”

Skylar grimaces at Johnny’s voice. “I was a bit busy last night so I couldn’t return your calls and I woke up late too. Sorry about that.”

“I’ve been waiting outside since morning. You better come down here and talk to me.”

“Outside? You’re here?” Skylar gasps.

“No s**t, get your ass down here and don’t make me get you. I know the floor and room number and I’m getting impatient so you better hurry up.” Johnny warns.

“Okay, I get it. Calm down and meet me at the cafe across the street. I’ll be there.”

Once he ends the call, he asks for Kai’s permission to leave for a bit. “Johnny really wants to see me. He was worried since last night so I need to properly talk to him.”

“As long as you’re feeling better, go ahead. I took the day off so it’s your day off too. Don’t stay out the whole day though.”

“Thank you so much sir, I’ll be back before you know it.” Skylar thanks him.

Skylar composes himself before entering the cafe to meet Johnny. He quickly spots the son of Eros at the corner, he already ordered drinks for both of them. Skylar smiles at him but Johnny glares at him.

“Heeeey, so I’m sorry about last night. I was in a complicated situation.” Skylar starts as he took his seat.

Johnny’s cold expression was suddenly replaced with confusion. “A demigod is nearby.”

Skylar frowns as he looks around the cafe. “Perhaps it’s someone who’s just living normally like us?” he suggests.

Johnny shrugs it off and gives Skylar a look that clearly tells “Start explaining now or else.”

Skylar straightens in his seat. “It’s a weird story, I was in a bar with Kai and I was planning on getting him drunk but one of my previous targets, Zee, suddenly showed up. I had to makeout with him in the restrooms and use my power to make sure he leaves me alone for the night.”

“I told you to never use your powers in places like bars. That makes you an easy target too.” Johnny hisses.

Skylar laughs awkwardly. “Yeah, I was careless about that part so a couple of guys and girls tried flirting with me and offered me drinks. My charm worked on Kai though because we kind of had this heated makeout session in public and I think my pheromones went out of control. Kai left for a bit, some guy wouldn’t leave me alone and was offering me a drink.”

Johnny was about to make a comment so Skylar beats him to it. “And yeah it was stupid of me to take that drink. Everything got really blurry after that but Kai managed to take me back to the apartment.”

“You got f*****g roofied?!” Johnny says in disbelief.

“Hey you connected the dots, that’s smart.” Skylar grins but Johnny wasn’t having it.

“Aphrodite have mercy.” Johnny groans in frustration. “What if something bad happens to you? Do you know how vulnerable you get when that happens? Did Kai do anything?”

“Nothing bad happened, yes I know how bad the situation was and yeah Kai did something but not in a bad way.” Skylar replies.

“You slept with him?” Johnny asks.

“No, he told me that we didn’t have s*x. I can’t remember most of what happened but he took care of me so don’t make an issue out of this.”

“The last time you got roofied, you got so horny that your pheromones drove me crazy to the point that I had to lock myself out of your bedroom for your sake.” Johnny points out.

Skylar nearly chokes on his drink. “You said you tossed me onto my bed and I immediately fell asleep.”

“I lied for the sake of your dignity but you’re dumb enough to get drugged again so I’m giving you the truth.”

“Wow. Thanks.” Skylar mutters bitterly.

“It’s weird though. Kai was able to control himself? How far did you go with him?”

Skylar felt uncomfortable talking about this but he knows Johnny won’t leave him alone. “I really can’t remember but he made it clear that he didn’t f**k me but I do happen to wake up with his spunk all over me.”

Johnny looks at him in disbelief. “TMI.” he winces. “On a brighter note, you’re finally going to lose your virginity.”

“Shut up,” Skylar blushes.

“How is he anyways? Is he nice to you?”

“Yeah, sometimes I think he’s too nice. What kind of boss takes you home and takes care of you when you get wasted?” Skylar asks.

“The good kind,” Johnny points out. “But he got something in return anyways. He wants to get in your pants, I can tell.”

“What makes you say that?”

The elder rolls his eyes. “First of all, who wouldn’t want to get in your pants?”

“Ares or Hephaestus, I guess” he jokes.

Johnny snorts at that. “You know those about mythology but you have no idea about your mom’s girdle?”

“I could care less about girdles.”

“By the way, don’t you have work today?” Johnny asks.

“Kai gave me the day off.” Skylar says.

“Cool, then you still have time to hang out with me.” Johnny says.

“I don’t know, I feel bad about leaving Kai after he took care of me last night.”

Johnny reaches over to pull Skylar’s shirt collar. He wasn’t amused to see the hickeys adorning the younger’s neck. “Don’t feel bad, he had his fun anyways.”

Skylar slaps his hand away. “Fine, I’ll go.”

“Good choice.” Johnny grins.

They walked all over the city and checked out a couple of malls. “Once you’re done with Kai, I’m buying you a new car as a reward.” Johnny says.

Skylar whistles. “Sweet, do I get to choose the model?”

“Anything you want baby boy.” he winks.

“Gosh I can’t wait.” Skylar grins.

Johnny suddenly stops walking. “What is it?” Skylar asks.

“It’s weird, up until now it feels like a demigod is following us around.” he says.

“Aren’t you just paranoid?”

“I hope that’s the case.” Johnny shrugs. “I should bring you back by the way, it’s getting late.”

Skylar’s eyes widen when he sees that it’s nearly six o’ clock. “Let’s hurry.”

Johnny jokingly gives him a goodbye kiss when they arrive back at the apartment as good luck for Kai.

Once he arrives, Kai was nowhere to be seen. He checks his room first since he needs to charge his phone anyways. His bedsheets were as good as new. His room was a lot cleaner too.

He checks the living room again to look for Kai. As if on cue, Kai steps out of his room too. He was currently talking to someone on his phone.

“I’ll call you later.” he hurriedly ends the call.

Skylar was about to apologize but he completely freezes when he realizes that Kai was holding a familiar box.

“The cleaning lady found this under your bed, she was about to throw it out but I thought it might be important.” Kai steps towards him.

Oh how he wished that the lady threw it out.

He doesn’t miss the playful smirk on Kai’s lips as he hands him the box. “I didn’t know that you were into those kind of stuff.”

And once again, the son of Aphrodite is rendered speechless.
