Zombies Ahead (Club Zombie, Book One) (14 page)

Dom T stopped in front of him and stared down at him. “So why would love cause you to avoid me?”

Talon stopped struggling against the bonds. “Because we both know I can never have you? Not the way I… need.”

“What is it that you need, truly need
,
that I have not provided you?” His obsession was looming over him.

“I need you to be my…” He hesitated to give his sole desire voice, but in for a penny. “Master. Mine and mine alone. You have refused without reason, yet I keep coming back. I can’t seem to stop my pathetic addiction to you. I follow your will out there, but beyond these doors I am so alone. I could die from the pain of it. Loving you hurts so much…” Talon’s voice was barely a whisper. All his hidden misery came rushing to the surface breaking the dam that held his tears at bay. Shuttering sobs racked his body as the devastation of truth crashed over him.

“Shhh, enough of this.” Once the
worst
passed, and Talon had quieted, the man he loved with all of his heart continued. “I know you are aware to some extent about this club…” As he spoke the man released the Talon of his bindings, slowly with no abrupt movements. Talon would have rather remained bound but sensed Dom T needed him free of any restraints to continue the conversation.

“There are rumors. They don’t make a lot of sense…” If you were a member as long as Talon had been you heard things that blended what you always thought was real and what was not. But he failed to understand that silly hearsay had to do with the here and now.

Fingers stroked where the ropes held Talon secure and found their way to comb through his long hair, pulling him close then strong arms wrapped around him. The hug was enough to crumble any remaining parts of the wall he had so carefully constructed around his heart.

“Oh my sweet boy. I have tried not to be selfish. I have not wanted to take away your choice.”

“What choice?” Talon’s heart started to race. What was the dominant male saying?

“What would you say if I said I think you are my mate?”

“I believe I am.” A tear slipped down Talon’s cheek, and he bit his lip to stop the further display of his uncontrolled emotion. It seemed to be the only explanation for the deep connection that he was unable to sever.

“But claiming you means you give up everything. I do not want to be so selfish.”

Talon was going to claim everything that was his. “Master.” He said it again loving it on his tongue. “Master, you are everything to me. If I am getting you, I would be giving up nothing.”

“It means you give up your current life entirely, and you will be connecting yourself permanently with me. No safe words.”

“Please, Master.” Talon heard the desperation in his voice, and he didn’t care. He needed this man more than his next breath.

Dom T ran his fingers through Talon’s long hair. “You want forever with me, my sweet kitten?”

Without a thought, “Yes. Yes, forever.” He wanted forever so bad he could taste it. He pulled back for a moment. “The rumors are true?”

A quick nod was all the confirmation he was given. The fact that the rumors of zombies were true didn’t bother Talon at all. Maybe it should, but he didn’t care as long as they could be together.

Dom T cleared his throat of what sounded like raw emotion, “If you are my mate, I will claim you and you will be mine always.”

Talon had nothing to give up. Everything he wanted and needed was right in front of him. “Please, Master. Take me.”

The Dom closed his eyes briefly as if he was savoring the answer. “You are the mate of my heart regardless. Let’s see if you are my eternal mate
,
shall we?”

Not understanding and not sure even what questions were important to ask, Talon asked the most basic. “How do we know for certain I am your mate?”

“Your essence will fulfill and sustain me from ever needing another. As soon as your taste hits my tongue, my male functioning will return.”

“What do you mean?”

Dom T smiled, and he cupped
Talon’s
face. “You have not been the only one abstaining from the pleasures of the flesh.”

It became clear why he was never allowed to service his Dom. All rational thought fled because, with a quick flick of his wrist, the Dominant had the silver dragon restraint off of Talon. His cock was completely erect within two heartbeats. But before more questions could come to mind, the beautiful Master took Talon between his lips and sucked. Talon cried out from the heady sensation.

As soon as Dom T’s lips were sealed around his cock, the months that felt like years of desperate loneliness evaporated into blissful waves of elation. Pulling off, Dom T gave him a sexy grin. “Come, my precious Talon. Come for me, my kitten.” As in all things his body responded to his Master’s demand and he came.

The dominant male grunted and started shaking and moaning. Talon could only hope he was the man’s mate. After several minutes, they each floated blissfully back to earth.

Talon looked up and asked, “Master?”

“Yes, my sweet boy. You are mine if you wish it so.” Dom T seemed to need to make sure he knew the choice was entirely up to him.

“I do with everything in me. I love you with my whole heart, Master.”

“As do I. I love you.” The man traced his tongue over his lips before licking them. “There is a small blood exchange involved.” A soft sweet kiss was placed on his mouth.

Talon tilted his head to give anything his Master needed to seal them together forever. His Master smiled. “I take into me you.” He nicked the nape of Talon’s neck with something sharp and sucked a little on his neck causing shivers to run through him. His Master sliced a small wound over his heart. “Take into you what is me.” Talon licked the red droplets without thought any hesitation. His tongue swiped at the droplets that escaped the cut. He would always follow Master’s instructions.

When it was complete, his Master held him in his arms for a very long time. All the pain of loneliness dissolved as if it had never been there. His Master… his Master helped him stand. Talon felt incredible. He could almost feel their life forces twine together. They would never truly be separated again as they glided out of that room holding hands ready to face whatever this new life had in store for them. Moments in time seemed shorter now that they had forever to look forward to…

Kai shut the book. He loved happy endings. Each and every zombie got their happily ever after even if there was a delay in the timing. Sighing he laid down on his back as he tried not to wish for his own. Instantly, a vision of Jasper came to mind. A piece of him might always have known the ex-priest was probably his mate and not just because he found out that Jasper’s family two generations prior to his birth had come from the same part of Germany he did. He could feel everything about the man call out to him and resonate deep inside his heart. Kai needed to claim his mate.

Chapter Twelve: Initiations

A quiet knocking woke Kai up from a very sound sleep. He had been dreaming of Jasper. He pushed off the covers and stumbled to the door, ignoring his hard cock that tented his jersey sleep pants. Opening it, Jasper was standing there with a big grin on his overly handsome face.

“Come on.” He pulled Kai out of the room and threw him a hoodie. Well, that did nothing for the state he was in, but he followed as he slipped on the warm zip up jacket.

It felt like he just closed the book on
Talon and his Master’s
story. He was exhausted. “Where are we going?” Kai asked, running his fingers through his hair. He must look a wreck and for some reason really didn’t want Jasper to see him like that.

Jasper chuckled, “Ulrich’s initiation.”

“Huh? What initiation?” Kai questioned as he followed behind Jasper’s trying not to look at the perfect ass that seemed to sway under the old sweatpants he wore.

The man in front turned with a grin that would do a naughty eleven-year-old proud as he held up a bag that softly clanged. Kai hoped Jasper hadn’t caught him ogling his ass when he looked guiltily at the rattling cans and through the plastic to read Reddi Whip.

“Whipped cream?” What in heaven’s name did this have to do with his cousin?

“Shhh,” Jasper said as they got close to the dorm of the pre-transitioned zombies. “They roomed your cousin with a really nice guy, but Alex won’t be much help defending him.”

“Defending him from what?” Now Kai was confused and a bit worried. “What do cans of whipped cream have to do with an initiation?”

Jasper grinned, “You’ll see. Just remember to shake well otherwise you’ll be just wasting your gas.” He put a finger to his lips and walked inside the building. Kai’s cousin’s room was on the second floor, 218.

As soon as they got there, an androgynous looking boy with pale blond hair opened the door in obvious relief. “Oh thank the Goddess you came. There’s no way I could have…” His hands were flittering in front of him like he was chasing away a fly.

Jasper put his hand on the nervous, waif-like boy’s shoulder. “We’re here, Alex.”

The soft-spoken kid looked at Kai, and his eyelashes fluttered. “You must be Kai. I’m Alex. You look just like him.”

Kai held out his hand, and a delicate hand gently clasped his. “Pleased.” If there were such a thing as wood-lawn fairies this kid would be their king. He looked like he should be skipping in an open field of wild flowers while making daisy halos. “Thank you both for coming to our aid.”

Kai was more lost than ever. But within thirty seconds, twenty other zombie boys came zooming into the room armed with cans of whipped cream. Some even had tool belts or knapsacks loaded with cans of spray cream. Alex and Jasper ran to stand in front of Ulrich’s bedroom door defending it with a can of whipped cream in each hand.

Several zombie boys ganged up on Alex and doused him in cream. The poor sweet boy sputtered a bit, but licked his lips with a smile before returning fire. The spray cream was spurting everywhere.

When Jasper and Alex had to get new cans, the invaders made their move and burst in on his cousin. Ulrich was sitting in the middle of his bed with a plastic raincoat on with a big smile on his face. Kai made his way over through the chaos of yelling, giggling zombie boys and the flying cream to stand in front of his very amused cousin. Jasper handed Kai a can of cream, and he began to spray the boys who invaded the bedroom.

As they were starting to run low on defensive whipped cream, Kai realized everyone was covered in white except his giggling cousin who just sat there happily watching the mayhem. He pivoted, and much to Ulrich’s surprise, sprayed him right in the face. Everyone started laughing. His cousin, true to form, shrugged and opened his mouth to have the whipped cream sprayed into his mouth.

Laughing hard, Kai could barely aim the can at Ulrich’s mouth. His cousin ate up the topping, licking his lips for more. His reaction made those with different flavors step forward, and somehow it evolved into a taste test conducted by Ulrich.

“Here’s chocolate.” Cassidy stepped up. “Give it a try. It’s my favorite.”

Ulrich held his mouth open for a spurt. “Mmmmm, Alex. Come here and try this.”

Alex’s cheeks flushed, but he skipped through the crowd that was now surrounding Ulrich. He looked shyly around until Cassidy spoke. “Open up.”

His blond hair slipped over his shoulders as he opened his mouth and Cassidy gave him a healthy mouthful.

Giggling, Alex tried to swallow, but it spilled out between his lips when he tried to close his mouth. Quickly, his tongue came out and swiped away the rest. Everyone seemed frozen and enthralled by the sight of the slender man licking cream from his lips.

His cousin seemed totally immune to whatever mojo Alex cast. “Good, huh?”

Alex smiled and let Ulrich pull him down to sit on the bed next to him. The kid nodded his head with pretty sparkling eyes. “More, please.” The kid tipped his head back and held open his mouth for Cassidy.

The crowd of zombie boys inhaled as a group watched Alex open his mouth for more cream. Lust seemed to filter through the room.

Cassidy grinned over at Jasper, who decided it was time for bed. “Okay, kiddies time for bed.” Cassidy quickly gave Alex another mouthful and handed him the can.

The guys who had started their transitions were already beginning to pair up and lick the whipped cream off of body parts. “Come on, boys. While this is still PG, take it out of Ulrich’s room.”

“Hey, no. They don’t have to go.” Ulrich was quick to say, clearly liking the show his new friends had unknowingly put on. He looked to his dorm mate for reinforcement. “Right, Alex?”

Alex was blushing profusely, trying not to look at the zombies that were making out hotly around him.

Jasper clapped his hands. “Unless they want Lafayette pissed at them, they most certainly do need to seek the privacy of their own rooms.” The ex-priest winked at Kai and shook his head. He loudly said, “Remember Ulrich is a couple of years from his transition starting.” Relief washed over Kai as the live soft-core porn left his cousin’s room in a hurry.

“Always wrecking my fun,” Ulrich grumbled with a grin. “You could’ve at least let me watch.”

Jasper grinned at the imp.

“What? They were smoking hot.” The kid pointed out. “Did you see them kissing, Kai?”

Kai rolled his eyes at his cousin. He watched Alex jump over to pick up a can of whipped cream. He bought it back to Ulrich and sat down with his prize. “I got some action movies you’ll like and an almost full can of cream.” Somehow, at least to Alex, watching movies would be the same to Ulrich as watching a live show of horny zombies.

Once everyone had filed out, Kai stuck his head out into the hallway to see kissing pairs and some threes falling into the rooms. He was grateful Jasper was here to stop an orgy from breaking out. Damn, he could almost smell the hormones coming off of the zombies. He walked back into the bedroom.

Ulrich took off his raincoat. He only had a little bit of cream in his hair, where his dorm mate was a little more covered.

“Thank you both. I am going to…” Alex waved his hand gesturing to the sticky mess that was drying. “See you guys soon.”
