like he was at right now. He finally had the big bad warrior in his bed.
“I can’t.” Rainerio shook his head as if fighting something. Dillon didn’t understand what was going on. They had just shared the best sex on the planet.
“Can’t what?”
Rainerio shook his head as he held on to Dillon, his flagging cock still buried deep inside of him.
All kinds of possibilities ran through his mind as Rainerio’s breathing started to even out. He allowed Rainerio to pull him to his chest as the warrior rolled to his side and held on to Dillon.
The warrior was fighting some kind of internal battle. Dillon could see it in his eyes as he glanced up at him.
He wanted to help, but didn’t know what to do since Rainerio wouldn’t tell him what was wrong. Dillon knew that asking wasn’t going to produce any answers. The large man had proven that theory time and again.
“Promise me you’ll keep yourself safe.”
Of all the things he expected to hear after mind-altering sex, that wasn’t one of them. Dillon nodded his head as he stared up at the most gorgeous man he had ever seen. “I promise.”
Rainerio tucked Dillon’s head under his chin as they fell asleep.
Dillon blinked, feeling as though he had just closed his eyes mere seconds ago. But that couldn’t be true. Some time must have passed because when he opened his eyes, he was alone.
Rainerio had left him.
Chapter Four
Dillon was pissed as hell. It had been a full week, and Rainerio still hadn’t shown his face. He sat at one of the tables in Jake’s, his chin resting in his hands as he used his lunch hour like he had done all week, watching the door for Rainerio to show his cowardly face.
He wasn’t the fuck ’em and leave ’em type and didn’t appreciate Rainerio playing him that way. Dillon felt used. If he judged Rainerio by his actions, all he wanted was some booty. What a bastard.
“He’ll show up,” Peter tried to reassure Dillon.
“I appreciate the support, but I’m done with chasing after him. If this is how he treats his conquests, then I have nothing else to say to him.” Dillon could feel himself growing angrier by the minute, and then it fizzled out. Rainerio had made it perfectly clear time and again that he didn’t want Dillon.
He needed to accept that fact and let it go. At first he had grown worried when he couldn’t find the demon warrior after their night of blissful lovemaking, but everyone assured him that Rainerio was fine.
Dillon felt stupid for throwing his body at the warrior. The only thing Rainerio did was fuck him to prove he could, and then left him drowning in his own cesspool of self-pity. “I think I’m going to go back to the human realm. I’ll just move so no one can find me. I’ll be out of danger, and everyone will be happy, everyone except me.”
“I don’t like that idea. What’s there waiting for you?” Peter asked as he patted Dillon’s hand.
“Nothing,” Dillon begrudgingly admitted. He had no family or friends. Snooke had been his only friend. Without Rainerio, Dillon would be alone anyway, no matter where he went. It was better to leave this realm and all of its memories behind.
Memories his mind was trying to forget. It would do him no good to dwell on that one magnificent night they had together, a night where no one else mattered but him and Rainerio. The warrior had treated him like a precious gift, and now he was being tossed away like a used toy. Dillon stood, marching right over to Jake. “I’m heading home, Jake.”
His boss nodded his head in understanding. Dillon had told him what happened and why he was so blah lately. “Come back when you feel better.”
“I don’t think you understood me. I’m going home to the human realm. I can’t be here anymore.” Dillon knew he could use the Black River to go home. Chris had explained to him how to use it. All he had to do was think of where he wanted to be as he entered it, and he would end up there.
“I really
