To say I was disturbed by the visit with The Master would have been an understatement. He had invited me to his chambers to question my loyalty. But why was my loyalty ever in question to begin with? I hadn’t broken any trust with him, of that I was certain. I was his to command and always had been. I was bound to him since the day I was spawned. It had never crossed my mind to even think of betraying him. And yet he had me swear on Axl’s life. That was peculiar too. Why on his life and not my own? Was that part of some test? And did I pass it?

I tried to push these dark thoughts out of my head and focus on what was in front of me.

Axl.

We were in the mortal’s world. In a dark forest, a place where no one could ever find us. I liked it that way. I liked being able to slip away, to become so transfixed with each other that we forgot the entire outside world. To have the feeling of being the only two in existence was one I wished could last forever. Unfortunately it never did.

His head was across my lap and my fingers were tangled in his hair. His eyes were closed and he looked so peaceful, so beautiful.

“Axl, Do you remember the first night we were together?”

He opened his eyes and smiled at me.

“I know,” I whispered, brushing my fingers across his forehead. “I could never forget it either.”

He merely nodded. Axl rarely ever spoke. If at all it was either the word “fuck” or “me”. But he didn’t need to speak, with just the simplest of gestures I always understood what he meant.

“What do you think The Master wanted?”

Axl sat up, studying me for a long time, his face impassive. Finally, he shrugged and leaned in to kiss my cheek.

“It worries me, Axl.”

Axl paid no attention as he laid a trail of kisses across my jaw line and up to my mouth. Any other thoughts seemed to vanish when he kissed me. After all this time, my insides still tumbled. He licked my lower lip, asking permission and I parted my lips. His warm tongue filled my mouth and I was all to eager to take it in. I roughly put my arms around him. My fingers pressed into his back and I could feel the heat of his skin through the light fabric of his tunic.

He pulled back and licked his lips, studying me carefully. He was as dangerous. Very dangerous. Despite his silence, despite are constant need for each other...I couldn’t forget he was as devious and selfish as I was. And I could see it all so clearly. A predator...just like me.

“Slash,” he said softly, his voice barely above a whisper. “We can’t stay like this for very long.”

I brushed a few red strands out of his face. “I know. I just need time to settle down. The Master just got me-”

He interrupted me by putting two fingers to my lips. I opened my mouth to suck on them and he watched in sudden fascination. “Slash,” he whispered again. “I’m not talking about this place.This right here. We can’t stay together for very long.”

I let his fingers drop from my mouth. “Why not? You don’t enjoy it?”

Axl laughed. It was a very pleasing sound to hear. “Enjoy it? It’s the perfect ecstasy! I live for it, but that’s not the point.”

I frowned. “Then...what is? What’s wrong?”

“If we don’t end it. Someone else will.” He stared at the ground. “Besides...the feeling...this feeling I get. It’s all wrong.”

There was a long silence after that.

“We’re ending this today?” I finally asked.

He shook his head. “Not today. Soon.”

“Soon.”

“Yes, before-”

I didn’t let him finish his sentence. I had him pinned to the ground and was soon devouring his mouth. It was too much to think about and I had a hunger that needed filling...

Besides...

Axl had said soon. Soon did not mean now.
