Matt and the Hunters
Chapter 30 — The return
His name was Ethan and he had been a prisoner for eight years.
Before that, he had been living undercover trying to blend with normal humans until he had been made a prisoner, and he was now forty one. He still considered himself lucky, since nearly all of the Tempters that were found out ended up dead.
He told his life story to Matt in pieces while they drove away from the safe house, trying to put as much distance as possible between themselves and the Hunters.
Josh and Daniel had destroyed the brain scanner on their way out, but they hadn’t been able to bring themselves to kill the guards on cold blood. Instead, Ethan had spent a few minutes with each of them, affecting them as much as he could in the short time he had. Not permanent, giving their level of resistance, but they would certainly not be willing to collaborate in chasing them for quite a while.
Let the Hunters deal with their own.
And now, Ethan was sitting on the back right next to Josh, while Matt drove and took them away in a big arc that wouldn’t go directly to his city, because they needed cover more than they needed speed.
It had been eight years since Ethan got to fuck a man.
Matt could feel the need spreading from him in waves. He was not affected by it, but he could feel it filling the car like steam. He couldn’t blame Ethan, he knew how much his own power controlled him and how hard it was to resist the needs of their own nature.
It was no surprise that Ethan couldn’t stop himself.
He could feel Daniel starting to respond first. Daniel was just too sensitive, and Ethan had been in his head first even before he met Matt. And he was so tuned to Daniel that he couldn’t help to be distracted, even if the power didn’t touch him directly.
Matt looked at the back mirror and crossed his eyes with Ethan, and they understood each other without words. He knew what was about to happen and he knew it was probably best to just let it happen. There was no way to do a whole trip like this.
He took one hand off the wheel and held Daniel’s hand, using the to keep him grounded, to help him keep him to himself... even if that meant leaving Josh completely exposed. One of them would have to be, and he didn’t want it to be Daniel.
Josh began squirming in the backseat and his breathing grew laboured. He didn’t even question things, though. He had already been taken over by Matt and now he was immersed in Ethan’s power, and there was nothing he could do about it.
He didn’t even notice when Matt left the highway and took a dirt road going in a forest, and a mile later left the road and got in the trees just enough to get out of sight. Daniel gave him a curious look, but Matt just gave him a reassuring smile back.
They got out of the car. Ethan’s urge was almost out of control, but he still had enough restraint to look at Matt as if asking for permission.
— What’s happening? — asked Daniel.
— Sorry. — said Ethan. — It’s just been too long. I need this. May I...?
Matt nodded.
— Josh. How do you feel about helping him out?
The question was just a formality. Josh was already looking at Ethan with the rest of the world out of his mind, and took a couple steps towards him with his eyes glazed with lust.
Ethan let out a sigh of relief and grabbed Josh to lock him in a kiss. Josh seemed to melt in his arms, completely unresisting, like the rest of the world didn’t exist.
Daniel tensed looking at them. Yes, he had seen Matt fuck Josh and loved it, but this was different. They both belonged to him, while Ethan was a stranger.
— Hey, it’s okay. — he said, running a hand through Daniel’s hair and tried to stoke his lust, and he felt how Daniel’s body relaxed and turned to look at them.
Josh was already taking off his clothes, panting on Ethan’s t—shirt and pulling it up to bury his face in his chest. His hands kept moving, like they had a life of their own, undoing their pants and taking them off until they were both naked.
He kissed his way down Ethan’s chest until he was on his knees, staring straight at his cock. He had never seen anything so appealing, so beautiful. It was like Ethan’s cock was calling him and he just had to answer.
He was moving forward without noticing, all he could see was how that cock got closer and closer, filling more of his sight and his mind until it consumed his thoughts, and then his mouth was opening and he was sucking it.
Hunger, that was what he felt. He couldn’t distinguish his own hunger from Ethan’s, all he knew was that both of them wanted him to suck that cock, to swallow it and give it pleasure.
It felt so good to have it in his mouth, to feel how it got harder and harder, to feel the tension and thrusting on Ethan’s hips. It felt right, it felt like his only purpose in life was to suck him off. His own cock was rock hard, but he couldn’t spare any attention to it, not when Ethan in front of him ready to be served.
When that cock left his mouth he looked up, lost and full of need, but then he saw Ethan leaning down towards him and got lost in his eyes. He was going to kiss him. He was going to...
Yes. Those lips on his lips felt so right. He couldn’t keep his eyes open, he got lost in the kiss and the feeling and how it was emptying him of everything but desire. Desire for Ethan, desire to serve him, desire to do anything he wanted and nothing more.
Ethan broke the kiss and tilted his head up, staring in his eyes so deeply he felt he was drowning on those eyes.
— You want more.—
It was not a question. Not even an order. It was just a statement of fact, recognizing the reality they were creating together. Of course he wanted more, how could he want anything else?
Ethan’s hands pulling him up to make him turn around and bend over the hood felt just inevitable. This was his reality: he wanted more of what Ethan wanted, and that was the only thing he could want. There was no longer him, just Ethan using his body to get off, and his own mind and will disappearing in a wave of lust and hunger.
When Ethan’s cock went inside him, he couldn’t stop himself. It was just too much, to intense. His body began shaking and he came instantly, simply from the feeling of being fucked.
It was one of the most intense orgasms he ever felt, but it wasn’t enough. Only Ethan’s orgasm would be enough for him. He grabbed the car’s hood and bent over even more, offering himself to him, all his body an instrument of pleasure and abandon.
He could feel Ethan’s need taking over him like a flood, just an overwhelming need for release that left no space in his mind for anything else. He needed Ethan to cum, more than he had ever needed anything. Ethan’s orgasm was building up, slow but unstoppable, his ass was the one giving that pleasure and was about to receive his cum, he was almost, almost there, almost...
...and then it happened.
Ethan’s orgasm was more powerful than anything his own body could have made him feel, it was a wave of pure pleasure and joy and submission spreading through his body like wildfire. Ethan was cumming. Ethan was cumming inside him. Ethan was cumming, and he had been who had made it possible. His own pleasure paled next to that.
Ethan was cumming, and that was what mattered.
— So now what? —
They were back in the road, and Daniel had taken the wheel to give Matt a break. Josh and Ethan were huddled in the back seat, both still coming down from their wild fucking. It had been strange to see Josh get fucked by an outsider, but Matt had made it right, somehow. And Matt’s control of Josh was still intact, which meant his conection to Daniel was still there. That was all that mattered, at the end.
And certainly, it was better to travel without Ethan’s pent—up energy muddying their thoughts. He hadn’t recognized it until after it all had happened, but it was perfectly clear now.
— I need to call the guys and let them know that I’m okay and that we’re on our way back.
— Do they have somewhere else to go? — asked Josh from the backseat. — I was at your house. I don’t know if the Hunters could track my movements or if they already tracked them, but it would be better if they don’t stay there.
Matt sighed.
— I guess they could go to Rob’s old apartment.
— You shouldn’t go back. — intervened Ethan. — If one of them could find you, then the rest can too.
— I’m not gonna leave them hanging. I need to go back even if it’s to make sure I leave them alright before I leave them. I owe it to them.
Ethan looked like he was going to argue, but then he looked at Matt and thought better.
— Okay. But I’d rather stay away from that, if possible. Drop me somewhere and I’ll find a safe spot and get in touch with the rest of our kind, and then you can us when you’re done with your guys.
And then, an idea sparked in Daniel’s mind.
— I know a place you can stay and someone who would be glad to have you there.
— Really? Who?
— Someone I met along the way. Someone who was left hanging.
It felt like he had seen that city a lifetime ago, when he was alone and lost and dying of cold and hunger. Now he had found Matt, he had found Josh, he had even found himself. He had everything, but standing in front of that building all he could think was of that man inside who still had nothing.
He didn’t think he could the apartment number, but there it was, etched on his mind somehow. That door felt like an old friend that he never thought he would see again.
Ring.
Ring.
Ri...
The door opened and there he was. John looked just the way Daniel had left him only a few days ago. He stared at Daniel for a second, and then his eyes were helplessly drawn to Ethan and he took a sharp breath.
He had never seen him, but there was instant recognition. He knew what Ethan was and knew that he needed it.
He was trembling with hope and relief and he opened the door, looking at Ethan like he would look at a well in the desert.
— Can I come in? — asked Ethan softly, and he just nodded and stepped the door to let him in.
Right before closing the door, John spared a look at Daniel. Just a split second before Ethan grabbed his mind for good, but there was a world of gratitude and joy in that split second.
Daniel smiled to himself while he walked down the stairs, leaving up Ethan and a promise to make things right for John. Ethan wouldn’t stay there for long, but he had promised to make sure that he would leave John less bound, less needful, and able to live his own life if he wanted to.
— Now where? — asked Josh. They both looked at Matt.
— Home.
There was so much in that word. Not a place, not a house. Matt’s home was where his men were, and their own home... was Matt.
It was hard to believe that it had been less than three days before all this had happened. It was like Matt’s entire world had broken apart and come back together in a different shape.
One night to find Daniel, one night to find him again, and one full day to rescue Ethan, drop him and return. It was late night already and now he was coming back to where he belonged, but only temporarily. He knew it, it was time to go back in the road, to start the rest of his life. He had the need and the will and the way. He was just coming for a last moment of peace and to tie up the loose ends of his past, and tomorrow and the day after and all the days that followed would be another day.
Josh looked a little wary before they opened the door. Even if Matt had checked with Rob and Luke that they were okay with Josh coming with him, even if he was willing to use his power on them to make sure there wasn’t any trouble, he was still apprehensive of facing them.
— Come on — said Matt putting a hand on his shoulder. — It’s gonna be okay.
He was not expecting the feeling of relief when Rob opened the door. When he left, he hadn’t been sure he’d see any of them again. Not Luke, not Rob, not Daniel either... not Jared.
And here they were all of them, coming to him and holding on to him feeling the same relief he was feeling.
— You’re back. — said Jared, holding his face gently in his hands.
— I had to. There’s a man I love that told me I had to come back and say it.
Jared’s smile felt like a warm blanket. Yes, love. That was the word. They knew where they stood, and the rest didn’t matter.
Then they all turned to look a Daniel and Josh. They had disrupted their lives in so many ways and in so many levels that, no matter what, there would still be some wariness and trouble.
— Guys, you already met Daniel, and this is Josh.
— Huh... hi. — said Josh tentatively, and then turned towards Luke and raised a hand, but didn’t dare touching the bruises on his face. — I’m really sorry about this, I was...I was not the same I’m now.
— Yeah. I mean... — Luke was at a loss for words. What do you say to the guy who beat you up, who was willing to kill you, but now is part of the same circle you are?
Part of the same circle...
Maybe that was the answer.
— Rob, Luke, how do you feel about taking Josh with you and letting him show you how sorry he truly is?
Robb and Luke stared at Matt. Then they stared at each other. And finally, they stared at Josh and a slow smile appeared in their faces. Matt tried to nudge the three of them through their links with him, and he could feel how they were slowly accepting it.
Josh stared at them like a deer in the headlights and returned their smile. Yes. That was the answer. Turns out sometimes you can fuck your way out of some problems.
Luke stood in front of Josh, dominating him with his mere presence, and gave him a possessive kiss, the kind of kiss you do when you’re taking everything someone can give you. Rob embraced Josh from behind and kissed his neck, and Josh let them take him and they walked to one of the rooms.
And then... Jared and Daniel.
He was too tired to think. Now that he was home, now that he finally could relax, all the fatigue from the last days was suddenly catching up with him and all he wanted was to lay down and not have to think or do anything. He knew there was still a lot to talk, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do the talking now.
— Do you think we can take Daniel with us for the night?
“Us”. That was the word. Jared knew he could say no and Matt would abide. But he also knew that they were in a place where he could say yes and it would be okay.
“Us”. Even if Matt was still tangled with Daniel, even if he would always be, probably, there was “us” for him and Jared.
He smiled.
— Yeah. Come here, Daniel. Help me take this crazy man to bed.
And then there were no words, because no words were needed.
Their bodies were speaking, as Daniel and Jared’s soft hands took him to the bedroom and laid him down, gently taking off his clothes.
He was naked and they were naked and somehow, in spite of all his mistakes and recklessness, they were okay. Maybe not thanks to him, maybe in spite of him, but it all somehow had worked out. Jared laid on his left and Daniel on his right, and he embraced them both. They still had to find the balance for themselves, but now he knew they could do it.
He kissed Jared. He kissed Daniel.
Jared kissed Daniel.
They kept kissing across his chest, their hands slowly exploring each other’s bodies, and every now and then they interrupted the kiss to linger on his chest.
This felt good.
Matt was feeling too tired and too relaxed to do anything, but this... this was nice. All he had to do was lean back and let things happen.
Jared couldn’t stop his own submissive, pleasing nature. He was slowly folding, letting go, letting Daniel take control. And even if Daniel was almost as tired as Matt himself was, he still had enough energy to take the lead.
Daniel pulled Jared up so he was on all fours on top of Matt and moved behind him. His cock was already hard, responding to Matt’s power inside them. He was going to fuck Jared and Jared was going to let him, and Matt was going to see it and keep them together.
Matt gently dragged his fingers through Jared’s chest, making him shiver and moan and making his cock twitch. Jared’s breathing was already shallow and labored, full of anticipation to get fucked.
Matt could see the change of expression when Daniel entered Jared. That sweet agony, that delightful mix of pain and pleasure of a hard cock slowly fucking him. Jared moaned and his arms gave in, lowering his head on Matt’s chest.
Daniel and Jared carried within them part of Matt’s power and that power was taking control of Jared and making him submit, and Jared simply had no defense against it. He couldn’t fight it, and he couldn’t even want to fight. All he could do was feel that power and surrender and stay in Matt’s arms letting it happen and letting Daniel surrender to it as well and fuck him.
— Oh, fuck...! —
Daniel began rocking his hips, fucking Jared faster and deeper, while Jared held on with all his strength and whimpered. It felt so good, to see his two men fucking, to know they were fucking thanks to him, they were fucking for him, it was almost like he was the one fucking and getting fucked.
A small bead of sweat traveled down Jared’s cheek, right to his lip, and then fell on Matt. He was no longer thinking, overtaken by the fucking, by being with Matt and being fucked by someone who carried Matt’s touch in his body. His cock was hard and twitching and his eyes were closed, focusing only on what his ass was making him feel.
Matt could feel how close he was to cumming, and when he grabbed his nipples and softly pinched them, Jared went over the edge. He arched his back and trembled, and his cock covered Matt’s chest in a shower of warm, white cum. The spasm on his ass were enough to make Daniel go past the point of no return, and he buried his cock as deep as he could inside Jared and came, panting and grunting, completely out of control.
And then they fell again, each of them at one side of Matt, and he just held to them and began to drift to sleep while they came out of the daze of lust he’d created on them.
Tomorrow was another day. But for now, he was home.
