Dominic felt his heart jump at the boy's words. A want, a need like he had never known welled up inside of him. "B...Billy."

The prince nodded and took his shadow beast by the hand, leading him into the house with a slow
but sure stride. "I need you beast. I. . . like you."

"Is that all?"

"No. . . but it is what I can offer for now." Billy said honestly. He felt much more than liking for his
brave beast, but he felt something inside of him was still at disease, until that unrest was settled, He
would have to settle for like.

At the threshold Dominic stopped and turned to face his little prince. "Billy, are you absolutely sure of
this?"

"There are no absolutes in life beast, but you make my heart hot, my soul full, I want this as much as
you."

"I highly doubt that." Dominic grinned and scooped the boy into his arms. "You are mine!"

"Yes." Billy gasped and snuggled closer to the warm body that held him in the darkness. "Yours,
only. . . only yours."

Dominic bent his head forward, licking Billy's neck gently as he carried him to the bedroom. "You are
untouched." He observed.

"Yes." Billy felt the bed beneath him as he was pressed into the mattress by the beast's weight. "I was
to be idolized in my kingdom, not touched."

"But this is the only way to worship someone." Dominic breathed into his ear, "Body to body. I
worship you Billy, my prince."

"Body to body." Billy repeated softly, "I worship -you- my beast."

Dominic ran his hand over Billy's cheek, the soft flesh was hot with desire. Their lips met in an
animalistic need. Ravenous, hot, wet, their tongues curled together in a dual older than time as their
bodies danced a dance just as ancient. Flesh to flesh and heat to heat they clung to each other. Their
breaths came in short gasps, their bodies slid over each other, slick with sweat.

"Billy!" Dominic gasped, biting into the tender flesh where Billy's neck met his shoulder.

The prince gasped in pleasure and realized he didn't know what name to cry out. "I. . . I don't even
know your name. . ."

Dominic froze and looked down on his beautiful prince. //he knows me by Eros only.// "Dom."

"What?"

"My name." He said softly, "My name is Dom."

"Dom." Billy let the name slip over his tongue, it was sweet, flowing. As Dominic bent to talk his
mouth again Billy sighed and closed his eyes, "Dom, My Dom."

"Billy." the boy gasped as Dominic pressed his lips to his chest, swirling his tongue around one nipple
and then the other, teasing them into attention. His attention's moved lower and Billy's eyes went
wide as Dominic nipped his way over his abdomen and to his navel. He plunged his tongue inside and
swirled it around hungrily then started to pump it in and out, the rhythm was erotic. Billy gasped and
pulled Dominic closer, his nails digging into his back, "Dom! I want. . . I need. . ."

"I know." Dom growled and nipped Billy's belly tenderly.

"Dom!!!"

The two bodies were both surrounded in the darkness that Dominic wore, it was an unbelievably
erotic sensation to have to feel their way in the dark. Billy was thoroughly enjoying it. Dominic gasped
as Billy took his manhood into his long, slender fingers.

"Hey Dom, I wanna hold your hand." He teased.

"Th. . . that's not my hand." Dominic gasped.

Billy didn't sound a bit sorry when he replied, "Mmm, silly me." His let his hand wander overDom's smooth ass to slid one finger, slick with Dom's pre-come, into his tight, throbbing anus.

"Billy!" Dominic cried out and rocked back onto th finger, shivering in delight as Billy stroaked
something inside him that drove him insane with pleasure. "I . . . thought you were a virgin!"

He chuckled, "I am, but I've been stuck with nothing to do during the day for months now

I had to find something to entertain myself." His chuckle rumbled in Dominic's ears and through his
entire being. "We had to play with some of your. . . toys later, it's just not the same by myself."

"Hmm." Dominic chuckled throatily, "Pervert."

"You know it!" Billy laughed and glomped him tighter, another finger slid in to join the first, then a
third, then a forth. Billy sat up and took Dom's shaft into his mouth even as he plunged his fingers
into the boy's heat. Pain and pleasure swirled behind Dominic's closed lids and he shouted out in
beautiful torment as his seed filled Billy's lips. Just feeling him go over the edge sent Billy over as well
and the held on to one another in the wake of passion's wave.

Billy swallowed all of Dom's fluid greedily and then moaned huskily, "You taste good."

"Let me try." Dominic caught Billy's lips in his and smiled against them, "Mmm, you have good taste,
but I think the flavor is from you."

"We taste good then."

"Yes."

They snuggled for a little longer and then slowly drifted to sleep, each dreaming of the other, never
letting go through the night.



When Billy woke up Dom was gone, his side of the bed though, was still warm, he had just left.
The boy sighed and frowned, he had been looking forward to waking up with his new lover. //maybe
he's shy.// Billy smiled. For some reason the thought of his beast as shy warmed his heart. "Dom."
He tested the name and grinned. It felt right.

The breakfast table was set when Billy stepped downstairs, a single rose placed across his place. A
promise, and a reassurance. It was from his beast. The rest of the day couldn't go by fast enough for
Billy. He read until his eyes hurt, took a nap, practiced shooting the old bow he had found, even
worked in Dom's small food garden and planted some flowers around the stark utilitarian yard.

Somewhere in the mist of all of this though, a doubt came to his mind. What if Dom had left
because he had disappointed him? What if he wasn't good enough for his beast? After that thought,
he did all he could to make night come sooner. Finally he got his wish.

As night fell Billy stepped out onto the patio and gazed out into the dark yard. When a shadow
moved forward he launched himself into it and found himself wrapped in Dom's strong arms. They
just stayed that way for a long time. Just holding each other close. Billy pressed feathery kisses over
Dom's face and neck and made a sound between a gasp and a sigh, "Mm.. Dom."

"Billy I. . ."

"I've been waiting all day for you! Why did you leave this morning Dom? Are you shy? Did I
disappoint you? I can learn more. . ."

"Billy, why would you disappoint me? How could you ever disappoint me? I love you Billy."

"Dom. . ."

"Shh, don't say anything, that you know I love you is enough for now."

"Dom."

"Billy."

"What?"

"Put that mouth of yours to better use."

Billy smiled bright enough to shame the sun and stepped into the darkness surrounding Dominic,
stepped into the arms of his beast.



Later that night Billy lay in Dom's arms, sated and tired but unable to sleep.

"What is wrong my beloved?"

"I just miss my family a little. I mean they think I'm suffering a horrible fate at the hands of a
beast."

"Am I such a horrible fate?"

"No! That's what I mean! They are mourning for me and they don't need to, I wish I could tell them
that I'm ok. And see them again." Billy smiled and ran his hand over his beast's chest. "And brag
about my wonderful lover."

Dom frowned, it was unseen but Billy could feel it tn the darkness.

"Love?"

"I would miss you terribly Billy."

"I would miss you too love, but it would only be for a few days. I can't stand being so happy
when I know they are so sad."

"My sweet hearted beloved." Dominic kissed him softly, "You know that I could never deny you
anything." He reached into his pouch and pulled out a be-spelled ring. "This ring holds the spell to
bring you back to me. You will come back, won't you?"

Billy smiled and cuddled his beast with all of the tenderness in his heart. "Of course I will come back
to you stupid! You're my lover. My beautiful beast." He grinned and moaned slightly, "And I love that
thing you do with your tongue!"

Dominic tossed a pillow at him andBilly retaliated in kind, soon the whole room was full of feathers.

"The keepers wont be thrilled about this." Billy said looking at the mess they had made.

"Hm." Dominic pulled the boy close and kissed his neck.

"Mmm."

"Aa." Dominic agreed and they fell to the bed again.



Aphrodie's frown deepened when Dominic came back the next morning with blank eyes, colder than
usual. "What has he done now?!" She insisted.

"Who?"

"Billy!"

"Nothing." Dominic said sleepily.

"My sources tell me you're letting him go back."

He gave her a look that plainly stated ‘if you knew, why ask me?'"Temporarily."

"Eros. . ."

"Liv, My name is Dominic!"

"Dominic!" Aphrodite jumped back a step. "Humans are short lived and fickle creatures. How do you
know he'll return? Hm? And what will you do when he grows older?"

"I will love him."

"And when his human body gives up life and dies?"

Dominic's eyes went flatter at the thought, "I too will die."

"Damn it Dominic stop being so self destructive!"

"I love Billy, Liv, love him with every breath inside of me. When he dies why would I want to
live?"

"You are a demi god Dominic, you could have anything you wanted in the world."

"All I want is Billy."

"Don't be so stubborn!"

"Don't by so lofty!"

Liv was taken aback and watch in silence as Dominc retired to his room. Her heart ached for her
friend. She had seen the changes the human made in him. He talked more, almost smiled a few times,he was becoming alive again for the first time since the war. But when Billy died. . . "The price is too high Dominic." She sobbed sadly, "The price is too high."
