A/N: I hope you all enjoy it! Warning some man-on-man kinky loving starts in this chapter and continues into the next two. 

Roger's pov:

The lustful cries of the mystery woman in the room with Gannon were too much for Nia Jones to bear listening to, I could see it in the way her leg bounced. I could smell it in the air, Nia was envious and possessive in a way that rivaled my kind.

As soon as the mystery woman started to chant our mate's name is the same moment that Nia stood up from her chair. A scowl on her face before she turned to me with such an intense look I felt a bit like a deer stuck staring at the headlights of an oncoming truck.

"Can you take me back to my dorm right now please", She spoke the words between clenched teeth, her hands flexing at her sides.

I wondered and not for the first time, does Nia feel the bond between us as deeply as we do?

"Bond?" Nia questioned some of the intensity in her expression replaced by confusion.

That is when I realized that I spoke out loud, heat rushed to my face and I looked away from her changing the subject, "Do you want to go?"

"Yes", She answered as she raised her arms, a clear indication of her wanting to be picked up, "I won't be the cause of drama or heartache for Cody or Gannon if I can help it. And the easiest way to do that is to simply keep my distance, for all of our sakes"

I stepped in front of Nia, bowing my head for her to wrap her arms around my neck. I reached down to grab onto her thighs, wrapping them around my waist.

"I don't think you truly want distance between any of us. I think that it would be much better for everyone if you talked to Cody and Gannon, so you can see what they think will be the easiest way to avoid heartache and drama.", I told her about how I felt on the matter, before holding her tighter against me and running from the sex shop back to her dorm building.

I stopped just outside of it for the second time today, the first being to drop off her hair supplies after I finished her braids. Her breathing was labored brushing against my neck as she clung to me just like last time.

The difference between now and then is that I don't want to run away anymore. I tightened my hold on her a fraction, turning my head enough to brush my lips against her ear.

"I don't want to let you go", I told her honestly and felt her shiver in response.

I heard her swallow thickly, her heartbeat speeding up just a bit I continued to speak, "I know that it's scary to open yourself up, to allow us to see your vulnerabilities, the sides of you that you wish would disappear and still hope to be accepted"

I took in a deep breath of her scent lingering in the air before I continued, "It's really fucking scary, and it's also really fucking brave. So take your time Nia. We'll go as slow as you want because I know for a fact that Gannon, Auden, Cody, and I, all love what we've seen of you so far"

Slowly reluctantly I placed her on her feet and before I could think better of it. I pressed a kiss to her temple, "May you have the sweetest dreams, Nia"

"Have a good night, Roger", She spoke a bit dazed, probably from my sudden serious words.

With that, I ran back to Gannon's shop and knocked on the front door yet again. Seconds passed before the door opened to view Gannon in all of his shirtless muscled, freckled glory.

"We weren't having sex", He spoke the words out desperate for me to believe them.

"I know," I told him with an easy smile as I said, "I would've heard it if you were fucking her."

"But Nia," He said with a deep frown as he looked around as if she was hiding in a bush.

"You'll have to explain that to her later. I took her back to her dorm. For now, what do you need?", I explained before reaching out a hand to press against his chest.

His hand encased my own as he closed his eyes, "My hunger almost got the better of me after Nia said what she did. I nearly ruined everything because of my instincts. I need to be reminded of control. I need you to feed me please"

I kept my expression neutral as I thought about his words. Slipping my hand off of his chest as I walked around him back into this shop.

Gannon closed the door behind me, locking it, turning the sign hanging on the door to closed, and finally closing all the blinds. I made my way back to his office and sat on top of his desk.

Thinking about my next move as he slowly made his way to the room as well stopping at the archway. I could feel his eyes on me, taste his carnal need in the air with every inhale.

"What is your safe word?", I asked while looking around his office for the second time, trying not to seem so eager.

"I tend to use the traffic light system with new partners", He answered.

"Are you ok with restraints, sensory deportation, temperature play, blood play, water sports, being edged, degradation?", I asked as I had an idea of what I wanted for us this session.

"I've never engaged in blood play before. Having the blood of a god tends to make things complicated in many ways. You might go insane from drinking my blood", He spoke honestly before he warned me.

"We'll take things slow. Now come grab two water bottles and get on your knees in front of me", I told him as I turned my head to stare at him.

My eyes followed him as he did as I ordered, he was in a perfect submissive pose and I reached out and ran my fingers through his thick red hair. Reaching down I grabbed the two cold water bottles and placed them on the desk next to me.

"Drink up", I told him as I cracked one of the bottles open and offered it to him.

Once he finished drinking the bottle I spoke again as I cracked open the second water bottle and passed it to him, "finish that off then strip"

I watched as he followed my order, folding his clothes beside him in a neat pile. With more and more pale freckled skin that was revealed I felt my other thirst spike.

I gathered the bottles then tossed them in the nearby trash can and tilted my head as I asked, "Have you done suspension before?"

"Yes. I've been on both sides of this exchange. I started out as a Sub for a few years and now I tend to Dom. I identify as a switch", Gannon told me as he stood removing his shoes, socks, pants, and boxers.

"Did you like being suspended in the air?", I asked, wanting a more personal answer.

"It was fine", He answered in a slow manner before peeking up at me from his long lashes, "Every sex act felt a bit hollow to me because I knew it would be infinitely more pleasurable with my soulmates involved. So I guess I never really enjoyed sex as my past partners have."

My eyebrows pinched together at his words and I moved in front of him, placing a hand on his chin and lifting his head up, "You the son of the god of sex never enjoyed sex before?"

"Not until it involved my soulmates. Sex with Auden has been", He paused his eyes fluttering as his tongue swiped across his lower lip, "irrevocably euphoric"

"Can you show me?", I asked with a raised eyebrow as I lowered my body down until our lips brushed in a ghost of a kiss.

Gannon's hand shot up cupping the back of my neck as he claimed my mouth in a wet, rough kiss. Memoires flittered in my mind of Auden, naked, lustful, and stuffed full of Gannon's erection.

The taste of Gannon mixed with these sexual memories in my mind, raising my lust higher than it has ever been. I grabbed Gannon's hand on my neck and ripped it off of me as I pulled away.

A string of spit connected our lips and Gannon's emerald eyes reminded me of a predator's and I felt like prey. I smirked at him as I stood again, turning away to sit on his desk.

"Go to a playroom, I'm sure you have one here. Take out two bundles of rope, leather cuffs, light two candles of your choice, and a blindfold", I ordered him as I gave him no emotion as I stared at him.

He smirked as he stood and walked towards the door in the back, opening the door he said, "Yes sir. I'll call you when I am ready for you, sir"
