trails easy. His hunter was lazy, always full of complaints, so picking the hardest route was the best option. Suddenly cautious, Lexus paused and felt for the predator's presence once more.

 

Satisfied the danger was gone, he took off at a slow steady pace.

 

Popping in his ear buds, he was blasted with heavy music, perfect for his workout. He savored each step of his uphill battle of calf muscle and gravity. Lexus was in utter bliss, ignorant of both his troubles… and surroundings.

 

It was the sudden breezy-whoosh of something landing behind him made Lexus freeze. His short-step run, came to a skidding halt as Lexus realized something was behind him.

 

Something, large enough it's air resistance alone had nearly toppled him over! Knowing deep down what it was, but unable to stop himself from looking, Lexus turned. Find himself staring up at the most impossibly large wolf he'd ever seen. Backing up a step, Lexus swallowed harshly, his Adam’s apple bobbing, as his eyes widen with terror.

 

The wolf's eyes were yellow and cold. Its entire front was stained with blood, and from its mouth hung a limp human arm. One look into the monster's eyes and Lexus knew this was his hunter, this was the being that had wished to kill his for months. There was no way Lexus could think of that would hide the fact he saw the wolf in front of him, his fear was too vivid and much too obvious.

 

Dropping the arm from its mouth, the wolf tongue rolled out to lick its lips. The beast wore a look of surprise at the sight of Lexus. It sat down on it hunches to watch him with a curious look as it cocked its gigantic head.

 

Then, like a dam bursting, Lexus cringed at the sudden onslaught of thoughts that attacked his mind. As his ears began to hum from the buds of his headphones, Lexus mocked his luck, of course in his final moments Oomph!’s Labyrinth had begun to play.

 

He knew what the wolf wanted, and this time Lexus gave into the urge to run.

 

The flash of a wolfish smile was the last thing Lexus saw cross the wolf’s face. He turned and fled in with every muscle fiber he owned. Years of laboring marathons came to his aide. Doing as he had learned in the past, he controlled his breathing, then put all his force into longer strides and more pressure onto the balls of his feet. He never once letting his heels touch the ground.

 

Instead, Lexus ran with a speed that surprised both the wolf and himself.

Knowing he was easy prey on such an open path, Lexus jumped from the trail, sprinting and zigzagged his way through the trees. He hurtled anything that got in his way, running faster even as he heard the wolf cursing in his mind. After a time, he was out of breath, but he had put a good distance between his hunter and himself.

 

Yet, Lexus knew that would only be temporary. Now that he had seen his hunter was a wolf, he knew it wouldn't be long before the monster caught his trail once more. First thing first, he needed out of these woods, then he would get out of the city somehow.

 

Seeing a light ahead in the denseness of the woods, Lexus revived his pace and took off towards direction. As he broke through the trees, he realized with some disappointment it was a camp with only two men and small, burning, fire. Nevertheless, he knew he should warn them, possibly even ask them for directions out of the woods.

 

Without any hesitation, he ran up to the two men. Waving his arms for help, unable to breathe, he wondered if they would even understand his meaning. At the sight of him running from the tree-line, the two jumped to their feet, yet neither made any attempt to come closer to Lexus.

 

The two stared at him as if he hand lost his mind, yet both remained silent. As he finally neared one of the men, Lexus grabbed him by the arm. His breathes so ragged he could only heave, Lexus gave up trying to speak, and instead pointed desperately in the direction of the woods.

 

Only as he took in the appearance of the man he had touched did Lexus realize his mistake. That erethral beauty, the scantily bared skin covered only by fine silks, were all things he’d seen before in otherworldly creatures. Horrified, he snatched away his hand as if he'd been burned. Like the wolf, these two men were both supernatural beings.

 

Yet, they did not attack, instead they silently stared at him in shock. Lexus could feel the hair on his neck raise on-end as he looked at the two men. Both were ungodly handsome, and sniffing lightly Lexus trembled at their smell.

 

Even the feel of the one man's skin beneath his fingers had been utterly intoxicating. Somehow, Lexus found, he was unable to move or even look away from the two beautiful creatures. Unwillingly, Lexus felt the beginnings of his own arousal stir.

 

He trembled slightly, feeling the chill of the morning air for a completely different reason. As if the two could hear his thoughts, both of the men's flabbergasted attitudes began to change. The one he had unconsciously touched grabbed  hold of Lexus’ thin wrist in a tight grasp to keep him from fleeing.

 

Against his will, a wave of indescribable pleasure burned up Lexus’ arm, hitting him so hard he fell to his knees with a pitiful moan. At the sound, both the men’s eyes slanted into aroused gazes, their pupils vividly dilating as they took in Lexus. With a panicked start, Lexus realized what the creatures were.

 

Of course, he had run into a camp of fucking incubuses, Lexus cursed.

 

"The human smells of wolf... he's another's prey," the black-haired one said to the other, even as he cautiously stalked his way around the kneeling boy. Outside his view, the dark haired incubus came to a stop directly behind Lexus.

 

Tenderly a clawed hand caressed the back of Lexus’ neck until it held a lock of his hair. Then the creature did something strange, he leaned forward to scent the hair against Lexus’ overly-sensitive neck. Crying out, Lexus cringed away from the creature, feeling a warmth beginning to pool in his groin.

 

Much like the other incubus, the silver haired one seemed interested in his scent as well. First he sniffed at the palm of Lexus’ hand. Then the creature spread out Lexus’ fingers with his clawed hands eyeing them curiously as he held the extensions apart.

 

Lexus stared up at the strange creatures, frightfully noticing the short curled horns that grew from beneath both of the creatures’ bangs. Unsettled, he shakily got back to his feet and tried to pull his hand from the incubus’ clutches.

 

Yet, the silver haired creature playfully grinned a Lexus’ sad attempts of escaping, before licking at the fingers of Lexus’ captured hand. As Lexus stood withering from the feel of the incubus’ touch on his flesh, the creature paused briefly.

 

Those strange silver eyes bore down at him intently, taking in his red face and trembling knees, then he spoke to the other. "He's a rare human... to see us, and I don't smell a wolf for miles. We could take the wolf's prey.”

 

“He is special, to outrun a wolf in the forest," the silver-haired one complimented, before his fangs nipped at Lexus’ fingertip. Crying out from the sudden pain, Lexus tore his hand from the other’s grasp to clutch it protectively at his chest.

 

Momentarily awakened from whatever trance it was the two had placed on him, Lexus knew he did not need to hear anymore. Even standing near the two men made him ache in ways he already regretted. Mustering up every ounce of strength he possessed, he willed himself to fight against their supernatural powers.

 

When he was successfully able to step away from the silver-haired one he rejoiced, but Lexus found it nearly impossible turn away from the two men. Fighting against his self, Lexus forced his body to turn, then he willed his feet to leave the night-creatures behind.

 

 

Chapter Three

 

His steps were shaky at best, but Lexus fought to distance himself from the creatures.

 

Yet, it seemed, taking everything he had done to surprise them thus far, this undoubtedly was his most awing achievement to the two incubus males. Who now stood, shocked into silence, as they peered queerly at Lexus's back.

 

They were dumbfounded, and using it towards his advantage, Lexus attempted to put even more distance between them as he clumsily began to jog away from the pair.

 

However, in only a few seconds they had gathered their wits, and with a speed his mind could only comprehend as a blur the two now suddenly stood directly in-front of his escape route. Lexus stumbled back, shocked from the sudden appearance of the two before him, terrified as the two approached him with a foreboding air.

 

"We're not succubae," the silver-haired incubus said tersely as he grabbed Lexus gently by the arm, "...but for a human, male or not, to be able to resist our charms… is nothing short of insulting, boy..." the other finished. An insult they felt the need to rebut, Lexus guessed from the looks they gave.

 

Interest from people of the same gender was nothing new to Lexus, he was the type everyone just assumed was gay. He was a total twink, he’d been assured. Yet, call him homophobic... but the idea of getting fucked up the ass by some dude was not something he wanted to happen.

 

It had always been his strong belief… However, Lexus thought with a moan, his eyes clenching shut as the creatures’ hands roamed his body, the incubuses did have a certain charm, he had to admit, and the way they touched him ... he could, just this once-

 

Lexus violently shook his head fighting to stay clear of the creatures’ trance, and keep his mind clear from his treacherous thoughts. Yet, in the mere seconds he had been led astray, the two incubuses had removed nearly all of his clothing. Until he was left bare, in nothing more than a unbuttoned green flannel pajama-shirt.

 

Clearly masters of their art, silver-haired one now held him from behind, keeping his legs held wide apart. While the other kneeled between his open thighs to run his fingers down the sides of his rib cage in small circles.

 

As if sensing their spell had faded, the incubus from behind him licked the shell of his ear and sucked on the sensitive skin behind the appendage. Even awake and conscious of his own disapproval, Lexus could not find the words or effort to persuade the two men to stop touching his body.

 

Drugged by the nearness of the exotic creatures, he was helpless in their arms.

 

Yet, he warred within himself, determined to break free of the haze of attraction the two incubuses had used encase his mind. With all his effort, Lexus turned and bit bare the inner thigh of the silver-haired incubus holding him from behind.

 

He was ready for anything, a punch to the face or jaw, but instead the incubus let out a throaty moan. Lexus was stunned, stupefied even, his eyes widened and his jaw slackened. Seeing Lexus’ refusal
