Chapter 6: Apocalypse

Julius did not ask permission to follow him to the east bathhouse.

He simply walked behind Lucas the whole way, a step too close.

Lucas let him.

The bathhouse was empty at that hour.

Steam hung under the high stone arches, and a wide pool of green-tiled water lapped at its edges.

"You sleep with every Prime who passes your door," Julius said at last.

His voice was low and rough.

"The Court will hear of it. I thought I would see the creature myself before I judged."

"And?" Lucas peeled off his shirt.

"You are smaller than I expected."

"I'm in the right size to get what I want." Lucas stepped out of his trousers and walked down the steps into the water. "Come in. You're scowling at my towels."

Julius's green eyes followed him, and his scarred brow drew down.

"I do not bathe with palace omegas."

"Then watch."

Lucas sank to his shoulders, and let his scent go in a slow cold-honey spill across the surface of the water.

He watched it reach Julius.

The big man's hands closed into fists. His nostrils flared. A flush climbed his throat.

"Stop that," he said.

"Come in, Julius."

"I will not obey you."

"I didn't ask you to." Lucas leaned back against the tiled edge. "I only asked you to come in."

For a long moment Julius stood motionless. Then he began to undress.

He did it without hurry and without grace: boots, belt, shirt, trousers.

His body was built heavy and scarred, with broad shoulders, a deep chest and thick thighs.

His cock hung thick and half hard between them, already swelling.

He came down the steps and the water rose around his waist.

"I will tell you my terms," Julius said. "I will not kneel to you in public."

"I will not be led by a ribbon or a word. If you want this, you take it as an equal."

"Public, no," Lucas agreed. "In here, yes. Come here."

Julius waded across the pool until he stood over him, close enough that the water slapped between their bodies.

Lucas ran a hand up his chest.

He could feel Julius's heartbeat under his palm, slow and heavy, quickening.

"Your rut," Lucas said. "It's near, isn't it? A few days out."

Julius's jaw flexed. "How do you know?"

"I can smell it." Lucas slid his hand lower, along the hard stomach, and wrapped it around the thick length of Julius's cock. "It's hurting you."
