The South Pole wasn't the classiest strip joint, but the gals were athletic, nice to look at, and they went full nude. A lot of them had body mods, too--and half the time he found himself just admiring them enviously as much as he ogled them. Still, admiration or not, who was he fooling with the cheesy art talk? He was here for the tits and ass, inked, modded, or not.
A lap dance and a few very handsy tips later and he was in a damned good mood. Gods, he loved his crew, but sometimes they drove him out of his mind and he just needed to unwind and spend a hunk of cash he could have put toward something more important on some jiggling body parts and, if he was lucky, a happy ending in the back room.
-
Aydan did a double take. He doubted his own eyes in the dim, smokey haze, but no—that was the one, the one who'd been with Elijah. They'd given Aydan a pretty show. This one—Ari Maxwell—had played so well to Elijah's desires, and that was a rare sight indeed. Aydan almost never got to see Elijah like that. Now, Ari was in convenient reach, and it was far too serendipitous an opportunity to pass up.
Aydan caught the eye of Ari's girl and let her see the caliber of tip he was giving out. She swayed her way over, and Aydan passed her the bill without looking at her. He was waiting for Ari to look over, to give him a nod, catch his attention.
-
What the--?
One moment, he'd been enjoying a face full of ample, perfect cleavage and the next, his girl was sauntering off. The hell? Annoyed, he twisted in his seat to follow her, and that's when he saw him--the douche Ruby had ditched him for, waving around big bills like some hotshot.
Goddammit, and Ruby was his favorite!
Draping his arm over the back of his seat, he glowered openly at the guy. Asshole. He didn't even seem interested in her. "Ya just come here to show off or what?"
-
The girls danced around him as Aydan smiled at Ari, deliberately smug. "I wanted a better view. You could always join us."
He looked away and, after a pause, threw in an excessively casual comment. "And you could join the party later, if you wanted."
-
Ari had been about to respond with more annoyance, but he stopped before he even started. His eyebrow quirked, irritation replaced with interest. It was probably a joke, an attempt to get a rise out of him and act like some bigshot that threw awesome sex parties or something--but, well, shit, guy looked pretty loaded, too.
Either he was bluffing or he was serious, and Ari, frankly, liked to explore all avenues. Especially those that involved money or pleasure.
He smirked.
"Name the place."
-
Just like that, he had him. Thank the gods Ari was a simple creature. When Aydan had to contend with Elijah's unpredictability and Zachary's disappearances for too long, he began to crave the company of someone like Ari—easy, understandable, and cooperative.
"The penthouse of the New Imperial Monument." Aydan flicked his head at the girls dancing for him. "They're all coming."
The New Imperial Monument was the tallest privately-owned building in Haviah, and its decadent penthouse parties were limited to the highest echelons of civilian caste. Someone like Ari would never stand a chance at getting in under normal circumstances.
-
Ari's smile faded.
"That's in Aedolis."
Enemy territory, that, and Ari had never set a foot there before, not once. He knew he could get there just fine; he wasn't infamous or well-known enough yet to have a problem. But it wasn't getting in that he was worried about; it was getting out, it was having a chip implanted in his hand. Just the thought of that, of being branded like that, of being tethered even loosely, sent a chill down his spine. And hell if he wanted to be anywhere near a bunch of fucking dragons.
...But fuck, what he wouldn't give to get into some ritzy, high class place like that even once. Who hadn't heard of that place? And enemy territory or not, microchip and dragons or not, he had to admit, Aedolis was a happening place. There had always been an undercurrent of curiosity to go with his disdain--and that was dangerous and he knew it. In fact, it was the hint of danger that made it tempting.
-
Aydan nodded, let that sink in while he watched the girls.
"They've never been, either," he said. One of them, Ruby he thought it was, sat on his lap and beckoned Ari over to join them. "We'll all be boarding a starjumper when the next set of girls comes on. We'll be in Aedolis within the hour. I think you'd like it. It's...quite unlike anything else."
-
Aw, Ruby, that traitor. Still, despite the danger he was intrigued, and with a low sigh he rose to his feet and pulled a chair up next to them.
"Yeah? So when's the ship comin' back?" It was reassuring to hear that it only took an hour by starjumper to get to and from Aedolis. That was doable. He just wanted to be sure he could get back. "And what's the catch?"
-
The girls greeted Ari with enthusiasm, and Aydan gave Ruby a look that sent her over to Ari's lap instead.
"In the morning of course. And you know the catch." Aydan tapped his wrist, the spot where the chip lay beneath his skin.
-
Even with a hot babe sitting in his lap, Ari pulled a face at that. Yeah, he knew. He was just hoping for a different answer.
"Mm. Yeah. Temptin', but..." He rested his chin on Ruby's shoulder. "Ain't sure it's worth it, champ."
-
Aydan shrugged. He gave a glance to the clock, more to draw Ari's eyes to it than to check the time himself.
"Suit yourself. Our girls here will be leaving after this set—we'll be boarding the starjumper together—so I'd think on finding another venue if you wanted a more...complete experience after this."
-
"Fine."
The word slipped out of Ari's mouth before he was even aware he was caving. "Alright. Why not."
Just one night. Just one chip. Lots of people got that done, right? Tourists and shit. And...stupid as it was, what other time would he get a chance like this? Access to a place only rich, privileged, famous people got to go?
Everyday was full of risks and dangers. What was another?
-
The girls did their part in this game, cooed at Ari and fluttered around him and told him how much fun they would have. Aydan maintained a careful neutrality—not entirely feigned, either. He didn't particularly need or want Ari to come. He was just curious about the man who could manage Elijah so well. The gods knew Aydan couldn't.
"Excellent. Better to regret taking action than regret missing out, I always say. I'll go let the crew know they've got another passenger. Come join me when the set it over. They know where to go."
Aydan gave Ari a nod and left for the starjumper.
-
He could still leave.
He could change his mind, wait out the set, and go. Wasn't like there weren't plenty of other venues. Wasn't like was lacking in opportunities. Because fuckin' Aedolis?
But as the set drew to a close--and with it, the weight and excitement and dread of what he'd just agreed to--Ari found himself going forward rather than back. Fuck it. He would regret not going more than he'd regret going, and if shit hit the fan, at least he'd have a good story later.
The set ended and Ari headed for the starjumper with his new entourage, Ruby on one arm and another girl whose name he didn't know hanging on his other. They lead the way to the ship, and Ari marveled at it; it was classy as fuck--though, in his opinion, his ship was still prettier. Ah well. Here goes.
He boarded with the girls, looked about for Aydan, and fought to repress the slight twitchy-ness that came with being on a ship that wasn't his. It had been a while since that had happened, and it a little unsettling knowing that someone he didn't command was piloting this thing.
-
"Ah, Ari."
Aydan moved up from the back of the ship to greet him. They weren't the only ones aboard. A few other guests were coming along, as well as plenty of entertainment—attractive young men and women in little clothing. One of the youths had attached himself to Aydan and clung to his side. He looked quite a bit like Temple, now that Aydan thought about it.
"You're welcome to stay out here, and there are private rooms in the back if you need one. The trip will take about an hour, so don't overexert yourself. There's still the party, after all."
The boy at Aydan's side was growing impatient and needy, and began kneading Aydan's cock through his pants.
-
Don't overexert himself, right. Valid warning, because that was exactly the kind of thing he would do. With a scantily clad girl on each arm and a ship full of half naked and very attractive men and women, he had to firmly affix the you only have an HOUR, and then BIGGER PARTY idea firmly in his head.
But there was nothing wrong with a little foreplay--and now that they were on the ship, the girls with him were starting to get more handsy. Ari opened his mouth to reply, and Ruby leaned in to kiss his neck, slender hands traveling down his body to tug at his belt. The other girl clung to his arm, making him very aware of the press of her ample breasts.
"Party! Gotcha!" Ari said, and flashed Aydan a thumbs up. "Well, I wouldn't wanna hold ya up, so I'll catch ya later, yeah?" He winked. "Unless, of course, ya wanna join in."
It was half joke, half serious. Hey, the dude was pretty hot and he'd gotten him onto this ship! Sure, he'd suck his cock and more for that alone.
-
Aydan smiled, leaned in. "Mm. Now you're getting into the spirit of things."
He leaned in a little further to press a quick, heated kiss to Ari's lips, then led the way into one of the back rooms. They were small, and could only comfortably fit four, so the other woman clinging to Ari broke off to find another group.
The interior was luxurious, sensual. It had been filled with things to delight all five of the senses. Fruits and champagnes sat chilled at the ready and aromatics filled the room in subtle scents.
-
It was a little sad to see the other babe go, but what he'd lost in chicks he'd made up in attractive older dudes, so it evened out. Heading into the room, Ari let out a low whistle as he took it in. Fancy place. He was used to seedy motels and strip joints--he wasn't a picky sort--but a guy could really get used to pampering like this.
Ari snagged a strawberry on the way in--all cored and everything, they really did think of it all--and popped it into his mouth. The booze were tempting, but he swung around to face Aydan instead, breaking away from Ruby so he could press his body against his.
"Y'know, I never did get to properly thank ya," he said to Aydan, sliding a hand down to stroke his cock through his pants. "Very rude of me. However can I make it up to ya?"
-
Gods above, this was too perfect. He'd watched nearly the entire time while Ari and Elijah fucked, and here he was sure he was about to get Ari on his knees. This hadn't even been his intention, it was just dumb luck. If he'd known, he might have worn a reflection. Roman, or maybe Raley Sade.
He'd have to approach Ari again, at a later date, as someone else.
"I am doing you a significant favor." He rocked forward, hands exploring Ari's waist, his chest.
-
"Mhmm, ya sure are." And with a few deft movements Ari had the man's pants undone and his fingers wrapped around his cock. He leaned into Aydan's touch as his hand moved over him and pressed his lips to his, rough and demanding and reveling in the flavors of his mouth as he possessed him.
"Ya won't regret it," he said against Aydan's mouth.
With a cocky smile, he dropped down to his knees and swirled his tongue slowly along his shaft, putting his piercing to good use as he teased him. When he had explored him bottom to top and back again, taking his sweet time, he finally slid him into his mouth, relaxed his throat, and took him deep.
-
There was nothing coy or teasing about this kid. He went straight for Aydan's cock, and Aydan grunted at the abrupt stimulation. Which wasn't to say he minded—he didn't at all. Ari could be as assertive as he liked. Aydan certainly intended to do the same.
"I expect you're right," he said, loving the way Ari looked sliding down to his knees like that. Aydan gasped, the sudden heat of Ari's tongue a blazing counterpoint to the cool artificial atmosphere of the room. He grabbed Ari's hair and slid in farther, as far as he could go. He'd expected a decent fuck, but Ari was better at this than he might have thought.
"Goddamn you can deep throat."
-
Ari met Aydan's eyes and hummed his agreement so he could feel the vibration through his cock. And then, sliding his hands up the backs of his legs, he gripped him by the ass and began to slide him, slowly, in and out, fucking him with his mouth and loving the way Aydan gripped his hair to thrust in deeper. He moaned around him and clawed at the backs of his thighs, and looked away only briefly when a movement in his peripheral vision caught his attention.
Oh, Ruby. And the kid Aydan had been with earlier. He'd gotten so into this he'd forgotten about them.
That was a right shame.
He caught the boy's eye, crooked a finger at him, and waved Ruby over, too.
The boy fell on his knees beside him and began to play with Aydan's balls and kiss along his belly, while Ruby wrapped her arms around Ari from behind and got to unfastening his pants. He sucked in a breath through his nose when she found his cock, and moaned again, deep so Aydan could feel it as well as hear it.
-
Few sensations could compare to having two beautiful young people tend to his cock and balls each.
Aydan took his own advice though. He came once—on the dark-haired boy's face—then excused himself to relax and watch and eat. They had a long night ahead of them, and he looked forward to far more strenuous activity than a four-way.
-
It was tempting as hell to keep on going. Wasn't often a foursome just dropped right into his lap, much less one that featured two model-like beauties. But when Aydan excused himself, he remembered the man's advice--and the wild party to come. Fuck. That's right. This was just the bloody appetizer.
...Didn't mean he didn't fuck Ruby before he was done, though, because goddamn. That, and he didn't want to be rude. Of course.
When he was done and Ruby had left to clean up, he collapsed on the couch near Aydan, pants unfastened and a dark hickey on his neck. He grabbed a plate of strawberries and leaned his head back against the cushions. "I'm probably gonna regret that later."
-
"It wouldn't be worth it if you didn't."
A shivery sensation, like cold prickles, swept over their skin in the space of an instant then was gone. They'd jumped. A glossy blue and green sphere sidled into view through their window.
"Look," Aydan said, pointing. "Earth."
-
That had Ari sitting upright again and turning to the window, and he let out a low whistle at the sight he saw.
He'd seen Earth before, sure. But never this close. He'd never dare come this close with Sassy, and now that it was in view, he felt a flash of apprehension as the reality of what, exactly, he was doing sank in. This was batshit crazy. Going to fucking Earth--going to Aedolis!--for some goddamned exclusive awesome party, and yet...
The risk was half the thrill, and more than half the point of all this. It was something he'd never done before.
Which meant, of course, he needed to experience it. It was bound to happen eventually. He just needed a way to make it happen.
"Damn..." he said, staring. "That's fuckin' gorgeous."
-
Their descent would take a good half hour, so Aydan settled in to relax and wait. They wouldn't have to go through customs, for reasons Ari would find out soon. Aydan wasn't that overconfident in keeping him away from psychics, but there was more than one way to attend a party in Aedolis.
"Mm," Aydan said. "Oh, one other thing. Am I introducing you as a guest..."
He glanced at Ruby and the Temple lookalike. "Or entertainment?"
-
"Guest or entertainment, eh?" Ari rubbed his chin and pretended to ponder that a moment, but it was an easy decision--and one that made his blood heat. Peering back up at Aydan, he tilted his head and grinned.
"What kinda entertainment we talkin' here? 'Cause I ain't much of a DJ."
-
"You would be entertaining the guests sexually, of course," Aydan said. He spoke while watching their entry into the atmosphere—what was left of it. He could never turn away from that, from the curve of the planet as it transitioned into a true horizon, no matter how many times he lived through the experience.
"Whatever you decide is fine, but there will be no opportunity to change your mind once we're there. You may enjoy being an entertainer...it is standard practice to present them with absurdly lavish gifts."
-
Ari's eyes were still locked on Earth when he said, "Lavish gifts, eh? What kinda gifts?"
-
Aydan shrugged. "Sometimes credits. Experiences more often--like, say, admission into premiers or clubs or boutiques that are closed to the common. Jewels, of course, and clothes, and really any kind of obscenely expensive physical possession you could think of. Access to private resorts or spas. That kind of thing."
-
"Entertainment," Ari blurted out before Aydan had scarcely finished his last sentence. "I'm entertainment."
-
The ship shuddered down through the atmosphere. They were almost there.
"Then this will be a very long and very fun night for you, I imagine. If you can keep yourself in line."
Aydan closed his hand on the back of Ari's neck, his voice becoming stern, dominating. "Some teasing is permissible, but you are here for us. Show some proper respect. Know your place, or you will be put in it. And I don't mean that in the pleasant way you might hope. Understood?"
-
...Ohfuckyes he'd made the right decision.
Ari shuddered, and shifted his eyes away from Aydan's. "Yes sir," he said, before looking back up at him with a wry smile. "Or should I call ya 'master'?"
-
Aydan rewarded Ari's deference with affection, a condescending graze of his knuckles upon Ari's jaw. "Good, my dear."
He rolled his eyes at the master bit though. "Ugh. Master is so...I don't know, melodramatic. Sir will do just fine."
When the doors to the shuttle opened, Aydan stood to the side and graciously motioned the three of them through into the airlock before him.
-
"Yes sir," Ari said with a grin, even as he leaned into the caress. This right here? Right up his alley. He was so used to being the one in control that, every now and then, it was nice to give it up completely.
Nice, and a little intimidating--in a good way.
The doors opened, and Ari stepped in before Aydan, his heart beating fast with anticipation. This was crazy. Absolutely crazy, going to Aedolis like this. It could go so wrong.
But that was part of the thrill.
