Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf It was all about silent communication. You went in. You stood. You waited. And the game would begin. Kendrick entered the bathroom and tried to calm his heart. He could feel it in his chest, beating a steady tattoo beneath the skin. His nerves danced to it, pulsing. Pulsing. In truth, he was nervous. He eyed the men he saw standing at the sinks, preening themselves in the mirror. Kendrick looked at them and wondered, not for the first time, Which one would it be this time? He took a casual look at himself in the mirror, checking himself out for a quick second, and chose his position. His skin was dark as night, a black so deep and full it shone like onyx. His hair, white so clean it glowed, hung past his shoulders. Mortals would assume his glowing skin and hair were due to excellent hygiene. Kendrick knew better. Being a demon had more benefits than just immortality. Standing at the urinal, he took out his cock and stood, waiting. It was hard already, and he stroked the shaft. Footsteps sounded, and someone stopped at the urinal beside him. He glanced at the other man casually, so as not to attract attention. The man beside him was gorgeous. Dark hair was cut down to a fine buzz, the brown bristles of hair peppered with white. Stubble covered the man’s chin, surrounding pouty lips that were currently formed into something approaching a grin. Kendrick looked down and saw that the man’s cock was already

Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf hard. What it lacked in length, it made up in girth. It was possibly the thickest cock he’d ever seen. When the man pulled back his foreskin to reveal the head, large and pulsing, Kendrick almost swooned. His own dick went even harder in his hand, but he resisted the urge to stroke it further. If he did, it would all be over too soon, and he didn’t want that. Instead, he did something he rarely did; he looked the man directly in the eye and moved back a bit so the guy could see his cock. The man smiled, his grin breaking out into a smile that reached his eyes. He moved back, too, and stroked his cock softly, almost lazily. Kendrick wondered what it would be like to have that cock in his mouth. The man smiled again and motioned with his hand, reached out toward Kendrick’s cock. He tilted his head to the right and raised his eyebrows. Kendrick read the non‐verbal communication perfectly. Is it all right if I touch your cock? Kendrick nodded, and the man took Kendrick’s cock in his hand, sliding along the length of his shaft. The man made an appreciative noise in the back of his throat. Kendrick smiled. He knew his cock was nice. At nearly ten inches, it was well above the average six inches. It curved up slightly, its thick shaft topped by a large purple head. His whole cock pulsed as the man held it, caressed it, stroked it. The man turned toward Kendrick, an open invitation to touch his cock. Kendrick reached out with a slightly shaking hand and took hold. It felt like velvet, and Kendrick watched as it throbbed and seemed to grow larger. The man moaned softly, and Kendrick saw a look of pleasure on his face. When the man leaned in to kiss him, Kendrick felt only a moment of panic, sweet and thrilling, before letting it happen. The man’s stubble rubbed against his skin. His tongue entered Kendrick’s mouth playfully, and Kendrick’s heart beat faster. When the man moved his head to the right, changing the angle of the kiss, Kendrick did the same and kissed the man deeper still. The man moaned again, deep in his throat, and Kendrick’s cock

Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf grew harder in response to that primal sound. Kendrick reached up underneath the man’s shirt, ran his hands over his rippled, toned abs and muscled pecs. The sensation of the man’s skin against his palm thrilled him, excited him. He took hold of one of his nipples and twisted, tweaked it. The man growled and crushed his lips to Kendrick’s, tangling his fingers in Kendrick’s hair. Kendrick breathed in the man’s scent; it was musky and wonderful, like sandalwood mixed with cloves. It made Kendrick’s head swim, and he welcomed it, pressing himself closer against the man beside him. A noise fractured the moment. The bathroom door opened, and they moved away from each other, standing once again at their own urinals. Anyone entering the washroom wouldn’t be able to tell they’d just shared such a primal moment. Kendrick’s skin hummed, and his heart beat fast and hard against his ribs. He glanced at the man standing next to him. His cock was still hard, and his mouth was shaped in a grin once more. Fear could make a person do many things, but it could also prevent things from happening. Sometimes, after an interruption, the other guy didn’t want to go on, didn’t want to proceed. And Kendrick desperately wanted to continue where they had left off. The problem was, more men kept coming into the washroom. There were young jocks bragging to each other about how many girls they fucked, old men talking to each other while they peed. The atmosphere of the moment before, so charged with need and want, was lost. The other man caught Kendrick’s eye. He jerked his head toward the door as if to say, Follow me. Kendrick watched as the man put his cock back into his pants, zipped up, washed his hands, and then left the room. Kendrick was torn between what he thought he should do and what he wanted to do. He knew that it was sometimes dangerous to follow men he didn’t know to a location that wasn’t public. He had heard his own share of horror stories about mortals and immortals alike that had been attacked in dark alleys or the back rooms of bars. One of the reasons he jerked off so frequently in bathrooms was that it was easy. You already had your dick

Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf out. All you had to do was jerk off, come, and go home. Kendrick had never followed a man out of the bathroom before. There was a part of him, though he was immortal, that was afraid. He told himself that it was all right to be afraid of the unknown, that it was all right not to give into his passions, his fantasies. His needs. But the man had tasted so good. Kendrick huffed and put his cock back in his pants. He rushed out of the bathroom before he lost his nerve. He looked for him but didn’t see him, and he experienced a crushing moment of despair. I lost him. I waited too long. He was just about to turn around and go outside for a cigarette when a hand touched his back, and a voice whispered in his ear, “I was wondering when you were going to come out. Did you finish up without me?” The voice was filled with gravel, and Kendrick’s nipples went hard. He turned to see the man grinning at him, flashing gorgeous white teeth. Kendrick wanted to kiss the man’s lips, to take some of the man’s heat into him. He shook his head. “No,” Kendrick said, almost not trusting himself to speak. “No, I was looking for you.” Kendrick felt an almost giddy thrill, as if he were doing something he shouldn’t. He could not believe that he’d said those words to this man, to this stranger. He still couldn’t believe that he had followed him out of the washroom. “What’s your name?” the man asked. “Kendrick.” “Mines Northaniel.” Kendrick raised an eyebrow. “Northaniel?” The man laughed. “My parents named my siblings and me after the points of the compass so that we wouldn’t get lost.” Kendrick chuckled. “Did it work?” “Well…” Here, Northaniel’s grin deepened. “My cock does always point north.” Kendrick laughed, and his cheeks heated. “Did you want to go somewhere?” Northaniel asked.

Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf Kendrick’s heart, which had calmed some under Northaniel’s soothing gaze, began to beat faster once more. The tattoo of it, the beat of it, was so loud he wondered if Northaniel could hear it. Surely, he must be able to. “Did you have a place in mind?” he asked, trying to sound casual and keep the quiver out of his voice. “Yeah,” Northaniel said. “Mine.” * * * * * Kendrick took one look at Northaniel’s car and grew a little faint. The black Lamborghini looked like liquid sex in the half light of dusk. “Is that your car?” Kendrick mentally kicked himself for saying something so uncool, but Northaniel just laughed. “Yes, it is. It’s a nice toy. But you’re far more beautiful.” Kendrick’s cheeks heated in another blush, and Northaniel grinned. He reached up and touched Kendrick’s cheek, ran his finger along his smooth skin. “You are very beautiful. You know this.” Kendrick nodded. He wasn’t used to being so self‐conscious. Normally, with Bartley, he was the one in control, even though Bartley liked to think otherwise. Normally he was calm, cool, and collected. Who was this man to get under his skin so easily? Kendrick stifled a shout of surprise when an electric shock, sharp and crisp, sizzled along his skin. He could hear the snap of it, the crackle. Northaniel pulled his hand away from him and clench his fist. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I’m normally able to control it better than that. But there’s just something about you…” “Control what?” Instead of answering, Northaniel grinned and opened the passenger side of the sleek black car and held the door open for him. Kendrick shook his head and got into the car. Northaniel shut the door, and Kendrick allowed himself a moment of panic in the momentary silence. What was he doing? He was in some guy’s car—albeit a fantastic car—with this stranger, and he was going to go fuck him somewhere? Maybe end up another newspaper article or

Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf statistic? His panic was only momentary, however. For some reason, something told him that Northaniel was safe. That he was safe with him. Kendrick almost jumped when the driver’s door opened and Northaniel got in. He turned and looked at Kendrick with dark, dancing brown eyes. That was the last thing Kendrick saw before Northaniel crushed his lips to his. If the kisses in the bathroom had been hot, this one was scorching, and Kendrick’s cock went instantly hard in his jeans. It strained against the confines of his pants, and he groaned when Northaniel reached down and stroked his dick through the fabric. Kendrick pulled Northaniel closer, kissing him deep and long. He let his tongue dip into Northaniel’s mouth; Kendrick wanted to taste him, to savour him. He moaned when Northaniel stroked his dick harder and then undid the zipper. Kendrick pulled away from the kiss to stare at Northaniel. Incredulously, he asked, “What are you doing?” “Giving you a pre‐show warm up,” he said, grinning. A loud groan slipped out of Kendrick’s mouth when Northaniel released his cock from his pants. It sprang up, ready and at attention. Northaniel ran his hand along the shaft and sighed with wonder. “God, it’s beautiful,” he said. “So beautiful.” Kendrick went a little light‐headed when Northaniel took his cock between his lips. He tangled his fingers in Northaniel’s hair, relishing the feel of the hot mouth on his cock. “Northaniel…” he moaned. He could barely speak, barely form a thought. All that existed for him was Nathaniel, and his lips, and his mouth. Northaniel ran his hands along the shaft of Kendrick’s cock and teased the large, purple head with his tongue. He pulled his mouth away and then ran his tongue along its length. Kendrick groaned when Northaniel took his entire cock into his mouth, all the way to the base. Northaniel pulled his mouth away and grinned at Kendrick, a flash of white teeth in the darkness of the car. “You’re going to like this,” he said. Northaniel reached out with his right hand, his pointer finger

Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf moving slowly towards Kendrick’s cock. Kendrick wasn’t sure what was going to happen, and he jumped when a line of blue electricity went from Northaniels’ finger to his cock. The shock of electricity stung, almost hurt. But surprisingly, it made his cock harder, made him want more. He watched with growing lust as another shock of electricity flowed from Northaniel’s fingers to his dick, and he moaned when the electricity seemed to increase. When the electricity stopped, Kendrick opened his eyes and tried to calm his laboured breathing. “What are you?” he whispered. “Whatever you want me to be.” Northaniel smiled and took Kendrick’s cock back into his mouth, running his lips along the shaft and kissing the head softly. “I want you to come for me,” Northaniel said. “Can you come for me, baby?” He took Kendrick’s cock in his hands and began stroking it, moving his hand rapidly along the shaft. Kendrick nearly came when Northaniel took one of his balls in his mouth, massaging it with his tongue while he stroked his cock. Kendrick had never felt anything like it. It felt as if all his senses were on fire, as if Northaniel’s touch was a flame and his body was a match. Northaniel took Kendrick’s other testicle into his mouth and sucked slowly, softly. He closed his fingers around the shaft of Kendrick’s cock again and worked his way up, stopping at the large purple head. He bent and licked the slit there quickly, letting his tongue dart along the tip of Kendrick’s cock. Kendrick’s moans came softly when he was close. He bucked and jerked as Northaniel stroked his cock. Northaniel seemed to know he was close because he lowered his mouth and took all of Kendrick’s cock into his mouth, taking it down to the base in one swift motion and then letting his lips work their way up the shaft. When Northaniel pulled softly on Kendrick’s balls, holding them in his palm and squeezing slightly, Kendrick moaned loudly, “Oh god, Northaniel!” His breathing was laboured. “I’m going to come.” Northaniel’s only reply was to move his mouth up and down Kendrick’s cock with more speed, and to squeeze his balls with a little bit
11
Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf more force. When Northaniel took Kendrick’s cock into his mouth all the way down to the base of the shaft once again, Kendrick came with a loud grunt. His body jerked and spasmed as he came, shooting spurt after spurt of cum into the back of Northaniel’s mouth. Northaniel kept sucking until every single drop was drained from Kendrick’s cock. When Kendrick was done coming, Northaniel sat up and wiped some cum off of his chin with the back of his hand. Northaniel grinned at Kendrick. “Was it good for you?” * * * * * After he had come, Kendrick fully expected Northaniel to jerk himself off and bid him farewell. His response to this was to laugh softly. “Oh, we’re just getting started. I want to make your skin glow, Kendrick.” Kendrick felt a moment of unease. Did Northaniel know what he was? Did he know that he was immortal? “What are you?” he asked again. Instead of a grin and a joking reply, Northaniel turned to look at him, and Kendrick gasped. Electricity flickered along his eyes. Where there should have been an iris and a pupil, lightning danced. “There are more than just demons in this world, Kendrick,” Northaniel said. “What are you?” Kendrick whispered yet again, a bit of fear sliding under his skin. “I am whatever you want me to be,” Northaniel said softly, further confounding Kendrick. They said nothing else for the rest of the drive. Kendrick had no idea where they were going, but he tried to calm himself. He wasn’t in any danger. Though he was sure that Northaniel wasn’t mortal, he wasn’t in any danger. He was safe; he knew this. Northaniel could have hurt him by now if he had wanted to. Instead, he had experienced some of the most sensual passion he had ever felt.
12
Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf Since he was being honest with himself, he knew he felt the same way about Bartley. But he didn’t want to deal with that now, didn’t want to face the emotion behind it. He batted it away and instead focused on the drive and the sound of Northaniel breathing beside him. When Northaniel pulled the car up in front of a building that was larger than his whole apartment building, Kendrick thought they were in the wrong place. “What hotel is this?” he asked. “It’s not a hotel,” Northaniel said. “It’s my house.” Kendrick’s mouth dropped open. “You live here?” He couldn’t keep the shock out of his voice. “I didn’t think there were any places this big left in Garden City.” “There are a few,” Northaniel said. He got out of the car, and Kendrick revelled in the short moment of silence before the outside world intruded again. But the outside world included Northaniel, and he so wanted him to intrude. Northaniel opened the passenger door, and the silence ended. Northaniel smiled at him and held out his hand. “Shall we?” Northaniel led Kendrick up a curving stone path that led up to one of the most beautiful houses he had ever seen. It was so big he had to tilt his head back so that he could take it all in. Windows blinked like eyes in the darkness, and he shivered in the warm evening. “You live here all alone?” Kendrick asked. “I like my privacy.” He let them in through the front door, and Kendrick entered into a foyer fashioned out of gorgeous, shining marble. It spanned before him like some vast, caramel coloured desert. Kendrick had barely a moment to take it all in before Northaniel tugged his hand and led him up the stairs. Despite the fact that his heart beat a million miles a minute, Kendrick tried to calm himself. “Where are we going?” he asked. “One of your hundreds of bedrooms?” Northaniel chuckled. “No. I thought I’d take you somewhere more fitting.” Kendrick held back a laugh when they turned a corner and Northaniel brought him into one of the largest bathrooms he had ever
13
Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf been in. The whole room was done in white marble shot through with gold veins. The entire place gleamed, and Kendrick had a moment to take in the silver mirrors, the porcelain bath, before he was turned around and slammed against the bathroom wall. Northaniel crushed his lips to Kendrick’s, and thrust his tongue into Kendrick’s mouth. Gone were the tentative kisses of exploration. These were kisses of need, of want, of pure, unadulterated lust. Hot and primal. Kendrick kissed Northaniel back just as greedily, and moaned softly when Northaniel ripped open his shirt, taking Kendrick’s nipples in between his fingers. He pinched and twisted, flicking them when they were hard. Kendrick nearly came right then and kissed Northaniel back harder, thrusting his tongue into Northaniel’s mouth and grinding his crotch against Northaniel’s. “I want you naked,” Northaniel rasped. “You’re wearing too many clothes.” Kendrick laughed when Northaniel ripped off the rest of his shirt and pushed his pants to the floor. Kendrick helped him with his own clothing so that, in mere moments, they stood naked in front of each other. Kendrick saw the electricity flash once again in Northaniel’s eyes. He shivered in fear, in excitement. “Don’t be afraid,” Northaniel said softly. He traced his hand along Kendrick’s cheek and down his neck. When he touched Kendrick’s chest, electricity shot from his fingers into Kendrick’s skin, making his nipples hard and his cock go instantly, incredibly solid. “What are you?” Kendrick asked again, frustrated that even though he’d asked this question a number of times, he’d never gotten a proper answer. So he was more than just a little surprised when Northaniel whispered, “I’m an elemental.” His voice was soft, his breath hot on Kendrick’s neck. “I control the weather. Specifically lightning.” Northaniel sent another shock of electricity along Kendrick’s skin. “I find that it gives me certain…advantages.” He smiled, and Kendrick melted. He kissed Northaniel’s body, running his lips along Northaniel’s
14
Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf neck, his chest. He bit Northaniel’s nipples playfully, ran his tongue down along hard pecks, toned abs. Kendrick kneeled in front of Northaniel, feeling for one moment as if he were kneeling in front of a god. He waited a moment before taking Northaniel’s cock into his mouth, savouring the moment, wanting to make the entire experience last. When he did take Northaniel’s dick into his mouth, it tasted like heaven. The skin was sweet and complimented by the saltiness of Northaniel’s cum. What it lacked in length, it made up for in girth. The cock filled his mouth and, as he worked the shaft with his tongue and Northaniel’s balls with is fingers, Northaniel moaned. Northaniel wrapped Kendrick’s hair around his fingers and thrust into Kendrick’s mouth in hard, strong strokes. Kendrick increased the pull of his mouth and tasted pre‐cum, sweet and tangy, on his tongue. He increased the speed of his suction, wanting Northaniel to come inside his mouth. Northaniel obviously had other ideas. He pulled his cock out of Kendrick’s mouth and jerked Kendrick to his feet, crushing his lips to Kendrick’s in a blinding hot kiss. When Northaniel pulled away, Kendrick gasped for breath. “What are you going to do to me?” Kendrick asked. “Why don’t we find out?” His smile deepened, and Kendrick almost swooned. Northaniel crushed his lips to Kendrick’s once more and kissed him hard and deep. Then he turned Kendrick around and bent him over so that he was braced against one of the mirrors. He could see himself, and he could see Northaniel behind him. Northaniel sucked on two fingers and then probed Kendrick’s ass, gently loosening Kendrick’s asshole. Kendrick grunted when Northaniel slid his fingers inside of him, stretching him open wider. “You feel so tight, baby,” Northaniel cooed. “So tight. Do you want me to put my cock in there?” Kendrick nodded. “I need you inside me.” He panted. “I want you to fuck me.” Kendrick nearly sobbed with need. His whole body felt as if
15
Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf it were on fire. “I want you inside me.” “As you wish,” Northaniel whispered. Northaniel reached down and spread Kendrick’s legs wider. He slipped his fingers slicked with saliva inside Kendrick’s asshole once more, probing, sliding in and out. Kendrick moaned. “I need you inside me,” he said on a harsh breath, pressing back against Northaniel’s questing fingers. Northaniel chuckled and positioned himself behind Kendrick. He aligned the head of his cock with Kendrick’s asshole and slowly, slowly, pushed himself into Kendrick’s ass. “Oh, god, you’re so tight,” Northaniel whispered. He pushed himself further inside Kendrick’s ass, ever so slowly, until his entire cock was inside, right down to the base. “How does it feel?” he asked. “Wonderful,” Kendrick said on a sigh of relief that Northaniel was finally inside of him. “Beyond wonderful.” From that point on, there were no words. Only a silent communication between the two immortals. Speaking without words, each was able to determine the needs of the other. There was no reason to speak. Northaniel thrust slowly, letting his cock slide in and out of Kendrick’s asshole. Each thrust was answered by a moan from Kendrick, and Kendrick flexed his asshole to tighten the hold on Northaniel’s cock. Northaniel moaned when Kendrick began to meet each thrust with his own, urging Northaniel on, urging him to go faster and faster. Soon, the only sounds were the grunts and moans of the two men, and the sound of skin slapping against skin as Northaniel thrust harder and harder into Kendrick’s asshole. Kendrick let Northaniel ride him, and ride him hard, meeting each thrust with a push of need. He nearly cried out loud when Northaniel pulled his cock out of his asshole. But when Northaniel turned him around and crushed his lips to his, Kendrick moaned. He grabbed Northaniel’s dick only to have his hand slapped away. “I am close to coming.” Northaniel grunted. “I need to see you when I come.”
16
Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf He lifted Kendrick up, and Kendrick wrapped his legs around Northaniel’s waist, and his arms around Northaniel’s neck. Northaniel re‐entered Kendrick with one slick, hard thrust, and Kendrick rode Northaniel’s cock. He nearly came when the first bolt of electricity pulsed into him. Electricity danced along Northaniel’s skin in sharp crackles, and a deep hum filled the room as if it were alive. Kendrick knew that the hum came from the electricity that now emanated from Northaniel. “Look at yourself,” Northaniel grunted. “Look at how beautiful you are.” Kendrick did as he was told and saw that his skin, his darker than night skin, glowed softly. He pulsed with light that seemed to come from within him. He groaned when Northaniel slammed into him harder and harder and kiss him, let the electricity run from Northaniel’s skin along his. It felt wonderful; almost painful, but painfully exciting. He let the electricity sting him and Northaniel’s thrusts soothe him. Northaniel pulled away from the kiss. “I’m so close, Kendrick. I want to see you come. Let me see you come.” Kendrick took his cock in his hand and slid it along the length. A spark of electricity traveled down the shaft. “Oh, god,” Northaniel said. “I love to watch you playing with your cock. Make it come for me, baby. Make it come.” Kendrick stroked his cock faster and faster, the electricity running along its length. Northaniel kept thrusting in and out of his asshole, and just as he was about to come, Kendrick felt his eyes begin to tingle; a warmth began to emanate from them, and he knew that they had gone from dark black to bright, startling white. “Oh, god,” Kendrick moaned. “Oh, god, Northaniel!” “That’s it, baby. Let it out.” “Oh, god, Northaniel!” Kendrick panted now. “I’m going to—” He never finished his sentence. Spurt after spurt of thick white cum erupted from his cock, covering Northaniel’s face and chest with his load. He came and came again, his asshole clenching and unclenching around Northaniel’s cock.
17
Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf “Oh, god, baby,” Northaniel panted. “Oh, I’m so close.” “Come on my face.” Kendrick whispered. “I want you to come on my face.” Northaniel grunted his assent and pulled out of Kendrick, setting him down on the floor on his knees. The electricity stopped traveling through his body, but Kendrick could still feel a tingle or two as it finished crackling along his skin. As Northaniel worked his cock, stroking faster and faster, Kendrick took Northaniel’s balls softly in his mouth and began massaging them with his tongue. Kendrick’s efforts were rewarded when he felt them contract. “Oh god,” Northaniel panted. “Oh god, Kendrick!” Northaniel pulled his balls out of Kendrick’s mouth and spurt hot jets of cum all over Kendrick’s face. Kendrick opened his mouth so that he could swallow the cum, so that he could taste Northaniel inside of his mouth. When Northaniel had finished coming, he looked down at Kendrick with a smile on his face, one last bolt of electricity snapping across his skin. * * * * * After a quick shower, they lay together naked on Northaniel’s bed. They said nothing for some time. Instead, they listened to each other breathing, their chests rising and falling in time to each other’s. Finally, Northaniel spoke. “Does Bartley know you’re gone?” Kendrick jerked as if slapped. “How do you know about Bartley?” Northaniel chuckled. “You think that the rest of us didn’t hear what happened over Halloween? You’re not the only immortal in town, you know.” Northaniel leaned over and kissed him. “You heard what I did?” he asked softly. “Yes.” Northaniel nodded. “I did. I never expected to meet you. I thought you were a myth. A shadow demon, a real live shadow demon. I had to see you for myself, to touch you.”
18
Silent Communication by Jamieson Wolf “Was this a game to you?” “Far from it. This was something else entirely.” Northaniel ran his fingers up and down Kendrick’s chest, tweaked Kendrick’s right nipple, making Kendrick gasp. “I wanted,” Northaniel said, “to show you that not all immortals mean you harm. That not all immortals wish to keep you chained up. Although, being chained up would have it’s…advantages.” “What do you mean?” Kendrick asked. “I know that Bartley keeps you locked in a room, shackled in chains. That’s not a good life for any immortal. But for you to survive as long as you have is a miracle. I wanted you to see that not all immortals are afraid of shadows. But Bartley is afraid of you. That’s why he keeps you chained.” “Afraid of me?” “Of his heart. Of what he feels when he looks at you.” Northaniel placed his hand on Kendrick’s heart, and Kendrick knew he could feel it beating beneath the skin. “Your heart already belongs to him.” “You’re crazy,” Kendrick spat out. Northaniel smiled. “Am I? I don’t think so. I don’t think I am. You try and tell me I’m wrong.” “You’re wrong.” Northaniel chuckled. “Nice try. I still don’t believe you.” “What makes you so sure?” “I loved someone long ago,” Northaniel said softly. “Love him still, though he is lost to me. We cannot help who we love.” “What’s his name?” “I know him as someone else. But you know him as Willowby.” “Willowby? Crushing’s puppet?” “The very same.” There was silence between them for a moment longer, and then Northaniel spoke again. “We can’t help who we love. You know what they say. You can weave your own story, but you can’t heal your own heart. Someone else has to do that for you.” Kendrick thought of Bartley.
