All the sounds that Percy made while Jason teased him were simply adorable. That was what Jason had decided in the last half-minute. The low-pitched whines and the soft wanton moans that Percy thought Jason couldn’t hear were just endearing, and despite himself, Jason wanted more.

When he and Jason had been together, Luke had been sensitive and rather receptive, but even Luke’s whimpers couldn’t hold a candle to Percy’s. Jason couldn’t stop; he took full advantage. He helped himself to Percy’s body, sampling it, tasting every inch he could get his mouth on.

Jason honestly couldn’t tell when the explosions stopped, or if they had at all. He was too invested, too enchanted by the shivers that travelled up Percy’s frame whenever he spent a little bit too long rubbing the frenulum of Percy’s cock. “I don’t know if anyone’s told you this,” Jason whispered, when he felt hot tears splash against his shoulders, “but everything you do is sweet. Even this.”

Percy’s hands had clung to Jason’s shoulders the moment he came, but now, Jason could feel them falling away. One of them found its way down Jason’s chest, creeping down toward his groin. The hand traced over the ridges of his muscles, fingers splaying over his midriff. Finally, after what seemed to be an eternity, Jason felt Percy’s slender fingers wrap around the heavy girth of his cock.

“F-fuck,” Percy said, under his breath. A soft, adorable, nervous laugh bubbled from those lips. The tension that Jason had felt in Percy’s frame earlier melted away under his fingers as he massaged the boy’s shoulders. “I-I don’t think I’ve ever felt one this big before,” Percy whispered, in the darkness.

Jason brought one of his hands down Percy’s side, drawing his fingers teasingly over the supple skin of Percy’s pert butt. He reached around and stroked the curve of Percy’s still-hard dick with the pads of his fingers. “I don’t suppose you’ve had a lot of experience in that regard, then?” he said, teasingly.

Jason waited for Percy to follow his orders. He watched the boy expectantly as the moments ticked by, waiting for those soft lips that had been wrapped around his cock to close and swallow his come. He felt a surge of anger when he realized that there was still some resistance in the boy.

Jason felt, in some small part of him, that he was going too far. However, truth was, the way that Percy quivered, cock dripping pre-come like a faucet, had already pushed him far beyond the point of no return. His earlier concerns about consent had been cast aside, and frankly, since Percy seemed to be so receptive, he didn’t think he needed to be concerned.

“Are you going to swallow, or not?” said Jason. There was a twinge of genuine disappointment to his voice along with impatience. Jason felt the boy tremble; the corners of his lips turned up in a self-satisfied smirk. His words had had the desired effect. “Do you need help with that?” said Jason. Slowly, abashedly, the rosy red colour on his cheeks brightening, Percy nodded. “Fine,” said Jason. “I’ll help.”

“What on earth are you talking about, Will?” said Jason. He was straining his neck away from the blade. It had already nicked him in a few uncomfortable places, and he could feel blood trickling down his bare chest. “I do not have nanites in my come. Don’t you think that’s the kind of thing a guy would notice?” he hissed.

Will looked at Jason for a moment, head tilted in curiosity. The neural link on Will’s left temple briefly glowed cyan, in tandem with Jason’s. He sighed, the anger dissolving from his frame. He patted Nico on the shoulder and placed a hand, gently, on Nico’s wrist. “He’s not lying.”

With a huff, Nico removed his hand from Jason’s chest. A heartbeat later, reluctantly, Nico withdrew the knife. He tucked the knife back in its hidden sheath on his belt. “Come on,” said Will. The doctor grabbed Jason by the elbow. “Let’s take this somewhere else.”

Jason looked Nico in the eye. He was trying his best not to look as frazzled and desperate as he was, but he wasn’t having much luck. “Tell Cerberus to get me Leo,” he said. “I need him to break into ARKIII’s data banks.”

Nico raised an eyebrow at Jason. Will was about to say something, but the couple’s neural links blinked briefly and Will shut his mouth. “We need to find out when, how, and most especially why Zeus did this to me,” he said, frantically.

Jason wanted to sound calm and collected—like he was most of the time—but from the looks on Nico and Will’s faces, he could tell that they weren’t convinced by his tone at all. “Please,” Jason pleaded. “I need to know.”
