Summary
     The day Azazel's son turns sixteen years old, there's a big party
     thrown in his mansion to celebrate prince Samuel's birthday. The boy
     is smart but quiet, and not used to the world outside his dad's home.
     He also carries a secret that shapes his life and burdens him
     constantly. While the most important people in town will be there to
     take part in the event, people like Dean Winchester, the son of the
     town's mechanic and Azazel's enemy, is definitely unwelcome at the
     party. Dean, who has a reputation for his great charm and libido, can
     hardly resist the chance to crash this party and provoke his dad's
     foe.
     What happens when Dean, an experienced and seductive lover, lays eyes
     on Azazel's mysterious and shy son will cause old secrets to surface
     and change their lives forever.
Notes
     Thank you so much Vershiel for being my beta in this!
     This is a new story and I'm nervous as heck, but let's go...
     Also, I've taken plenty of liberty to play around with the physiology
     of hormones.
***** Chapter 1 *****
 

Chapter 1



Dean let his mouth travel over soft skin and elicit the sounds of pleasure that
now filled his shack by the beach. The girl on his bed arched up into his touch
whenever he used his skilled hands to tease and stroke.

“Hmm,” she moaned when his tongue invaded her mouth at the same time his
fingers found her wet entrance. “Oh, God.”

“That good, baby?” Dean’s voice was hoarse when he spoke into her ear, and his
fingers moved in and out until her hips followed his touch desperately.

They moved in bed within a sweaty confusion of tangled limbs and urgent
breathing, and Dean was about to take her when the door burst open and someone
stood right in the middle of the shack.

“Natalie! What the hell?!”

The girl gasped and pulled the sheets up to cover her nakedness, and Dean
simply stared at the handsome, shirtless young man standing in the middle of
his place.

“Gabriel!” the girl exclaimed.

“My friend saw you come here with this guy, what the hell were you thinking?”

“Who’s that?” Dean asked her.

“Ummm…” The girl seemed embarrassed but hardly sorry. “That’s my, um,
boyfriend.”

“Oh.” Dean looked at the guy again and let his eyes study the hard muscles on
the guy’s chest and lower belly.

Living by the shore meant Dean had a parade of beautiful bodies walking right
before his eyes every day, something the twenty year old boy appreciated very
much.

“I can’t believe you’d do this to me!” the guy was saying.

“Hey, listen…” Dean stood up, not bothering to cover his own nakedness and the
erection that sprung proudly from between his legs. “Give the girl a break, eh?
I saw her, she saw me, we got horny…it’s no big deal. Chill out.”

The guy frowned and took a step back when Dean went close and looked leeringly
at him.

“You can stand there and feel pissed all you want, or you can join us and have
a good time…” Dean licked his lips almost unconsciously when his fingers grazed
the guy’s naked abdomen.

“What…?” The guy looked perplexed, but Dean heard the hitch in his breath and
knew he would get his way.

“You and Natalie…” Dean nodded at the girl. “Are both so fucking hot…damn, I
think I’m gonna do both of you…” Dean let his hand cup the erection that was
growing firm against his palm and smiled appreciatively at the response.

“You…I…I’m straight….” Gabriel started.

“Shhh…” Dean put a finger to the guy’s lips to silence him and stroked faster
until the young man before him was way too aroused to think straight. Dean
dropped to his knees and he heard the girl gasp with delighted surprise when he
took her boyfriend’s cock in his mouth and sucked.

Gabriel’s fingers flew to Dean’s short hair and he lost all reason and any
remaining coherence. That was a mouth that knew what to do.

Dean would have smiled if he wasn’t too busy sucking the guy off. Sex was not
only his favorite past time, it was like an art, and if practice made
perfection, then Dean had definitely mastered this art through the many
partners he had had. He didn’t really mind if they were boys or girls; he
enjoyed having his dick sheathed into warm tightness. Dean was drawn to beauty
more than he was to gender. And he was drawn to a good challenge more than he
was to an easy fuck.

“Bed,” he groaned and pushed Gabriel onto the bed where his girlfriend was now
touching herself.

Gabriel fell onto the bed, his head still clouded with pleasure, the need to
come buzzing in his ears.

“Change of plans, baby. Your boyfriend will fuck you as I fuck him, how’s
that?” Dean’s eyes narrowed with lust and he didn’t give anyone time to reply.
The moaning that was once again echoing in the shack was enough answer from
everyone involved.

As promised, Dean took a surprised Gabriel and relished the wanton moaning he
could elicit from the straight guy as he opened him up on his cock.

For an entire afternoon, Dean enjoyed the company of the couple. They
alternated between sex and food and showering, and by the end of the day Dean
had taken both the girl and the guy and come until all the muscles in his body
were sore and happy.

By the time the two lovebirds left his shack, Dean was exhausted and pleased.
He closed his eyes to drift into an easy, dreamless sleep.

Sam opened his eyes when the clarity of the morning was allowed inside his
room. He blinked a few times before shutting his eyes again and tried to ignore
the light.

“Morning, prince. Rise and shine. Your father wants you up for the day is long
and even longer will be the night.”

Sam took a deep breath, his eyes still shut, and realized he couldn’t just
ignore the person opening the drapes further to let the sun spill over the
balcony and up to his bed.

“It’s too bright, Crowley. Shut the drapes,” Sam ordered.

“It’s time to wake up, prince. Your father will be here at any moment and you
need to be ready.”

Sam waited another moment before he gave in and pulled the sheets off himself.
The moment he sat up in bed with his sleeping shorts, Sam could feel Crowley’s
eyes studying him. The same thing happened every morning, so Sam wasn’t
surprised at his interest. He knew exactly what Crowley was looking for. The
same thing he looked for every morning, and the same thing he prevented by
sleeping in Sam’s room every night since Sam had turned 12 and was caught
touching himself for the first time.

Crowley was there to assure Sam had no privacy. Not in his room, and hardly a
few minutes in the shower before someone would walk in on him and make sure he
wasn’t doing anything he wasn’t supposed to.

All Sam knew was that his daddy didn’t want him to do that kind of thing. He
had made it pretty clear when he had walked in on Sam pleasuring himself three
years ago. Sam shuddered at the memory and started to look for his clothes so
he could take a shower.

Of course some things were beyond his dad’s control. Sam had never done that
shameful thing again, but it didn’t stop him from dreaming. And sometimes, when
the dream was too vivid, Sam woke with his shorts sticking to his skin with the
evidence of his pleasure. That was what Crowley had been looking for, but there
had been no dreams the previous night.

At first, Sam didn’t know exactly why he wasn’t allowed to do what his body
sometimes begged him to do, but he knew it had something to do with his blood
and the way it tasted.

There had been a time, a little over a year ago, when Sam had woken up with his
come drying on his skin and had gone to the shower quickly before anyone could
notice. That night, as his daddy walked into his room, he had known it easily.
Sam had tried to hide it but failed, and that was the first time Sam understood
that whatever happened to that part of him became part of his blood.

Now, Azazel was a good dad to him, Sam knew that. Sam knew his dad loved him
very much and did everything he could to give Sam whatever he wanted. Yet, that
night when he had tasted something wrong, Sam had feared him. He was able to
see, in his dad’s yellow eyes, how irritated he felt at what had happened, and
he had made Sam promise that he hadn’t done anything wrong, that it was just a
dream his dad’s servants had failed to notice.

So now, whenever Sam had one of those dreams, which happened quite often as he
got older, Azazel was informed by Crowley, and that was a night he wouldn’t
visit Sam’s room at night.

As he walked into the bathroom holding his clothes and a towel, Sam tried to
shrug off these thoughts. It was his sixteenth birthday today, and his dad had
planned a huge party for that night. Sam knew it would be an eventful day, but
honestly, all he wanted for his birthday was time to himself without his dad’s
spies all over him. A little more freedom to leave their posh house would be
nice too.

Sam had spent pretty much all his life inside the walls of his father’s
beautiful home. While it was truth that he had always had everything he needed,
including a bunch of people ready to cater to his every need, Sam was also
tired of living his life in books and talking to the few, mysterious people
that would sometimes visit his dad.

He left home once a week to study history, math, chemistry and Latin with his
teacher, Bobby Singer. When Sam was young, Bobby used to come to the mansion
for his lessons, but since last year Sam had been given permission to go to
Bobby’s place to have his classes. Sam enjoyed that very much.

Bobby was more than a teacher; he was a good friend in whom Sam confided. It
was Bobby who had explained to him part of what was going on in his life.

Sam hadn’t told his teacher the details of what happened at home, because Sam
knew better than that. He was well aware that some things had to remain secret,
so when he grew curious and stared asking questions, he tried really hard to
make it sound casual. Sam didn’t know whether or not Bobby had read more
between the lines of Sam’s curious probing, but he tried not to think too much
of it. If Bobby knew what happened he had never shown it. He had, though,
answered Sam’s question about the connection of blood to masturbation.

Testosterone, Bobby had said. Then he had spent about an hour teaching Sam
about hormones and how they acted in the blood and other parts of the body.
They were not supposed to have a taste, or a smell, at least nothing a human
could identify, but Sam knew his daddy wasn’t human, and now he also knew why
he didn’t like it when Sam had a wet dream and why he forbid him to pleasure
himself. It was testosterone he tasted, and he didn’t like that.

Sam opened the tap and felt the hot water against his skin. He closed his eyes
and relished the feeling for a few minutes.

Sometimes he wondered what would happen to him in the future. Would his dad
keep things that way forever? Sam didn’t know if or when things would change,
but he knew that it was really hard to be the boy his dad wanted him to be at
all time.

The older he grew, the more it hurt having to repress any feelings of sexual
desire. Sometimes he felt so aroused and so hard that it hurt. During most of
his days Sam had managed to ignore that part of his biology, but sometimes it
was nearly impossible. Without the possibility of finding relief, Sam would
sometimes find himself having to spend two, three days hard pretty much all the
time, his balls aching, his thoughts a mess. Then there would be a wet dream to
help him relieve the tension. If he was lucky.

If he wasn’t…well, there had been that time when he had woken up with a hard
on, pretended to be still asleep, and rubbed ever so slightly against the
sheets to try and obtain some friction. Of course he had been caught, and the
shame of being busted at least helped the feeling of heat go away.

“Sam? Hurry up, your dad wants to talk to you about tonight.” Crowley stuck his
head inside the bathroom and took a look at Sam as he washed his hair.

“Ten minutes,” Sam replied. “I’ll be right there.”

“Good,” Crowley nodded appreciatively. “And prince?”

“Yeah?”

“Happy birthday.”


~ * ~

Dean woke up around midday and yawned noisily. He got up, naked, and went to
the fridge where he grabbed something to eat. He could still smell yesterday’s
sex inside the shack, so he walked towards the windows and opened them.

Then, he went into the bathroom, showered quickly and left. He had promised his
dad he would work on the cars today, and he was already running late.

John Winchester was the town mechanic, and Dean helped out at his dad’s garage
during the day sometimes. At night, Dean worked at a bar by the beach preparing
all sorts of colorful and tasty drinks. Dean made a lot more money with the
tips he got from bartending than he did helping his dad out at the garage, but
he knew his father appreciated the help, and Dean enjoyed working with cars,
too. Not as much as he liked his night job, but then, he supposed there was a
simple explanation.

Working at the bar Dean saw different, beautiful people every night, and on
very rare occasions did he end up going home alone. He enjoyed flirting. It was
like a sport, and Dean was good at it. He took time to run by the beach and
exercise his muscles to make sure he always looked good. Dean enjoyed the
attention, the chase, the reward. For sure he enjoyed getting off, but it was
much more than that. It started with a smile, a few words, a lingering look,
and then the animal in him would be tempted to smell a partner and he wouldn’t
rest until he got what he wanted.

Dean had never been turned down by someone he really wanted to shag. Whether it
was a committed girl or a straight guy that caught his attention, if Dean
really put his mind to it, eventually he ended up getting what, or who, he
wanted.

He had started early, some could say. When he was thirteen years old he slept
with his first girl. By the age of sixteen he had an impressive collection of
sex stories to brag about.

Some people had tried to point out that his busy sex life was probably trying
to make up for some kind of hollowness he had inside, but this usually just
caused Dean to laugh. He had sex because he enjoyed it, because he was good at
it, and because it was his favorite thing to do in the summer or winter.
Whenever someone questioned him about whether or not he fell in love with the
people he bedded, Dean just smiled and looked away. It wasn’t like he didn’t
believe in love, but he had been with enough people to see the more clinical
side of love, the part where you got what you wanted, sated your hunger and
went each your separate ways.

He had never felt jealous of anyone he had sex with. Considering he saw the act
pretty much as a sport, a hobby, Dean didn’t care much if his partners had
other partners, and he hardly wanted to repeat the experience with the same
person once he had gotten intimate with them.

Dean didn’t see a problem with that. Life was too short to dwell on such
matters. People had different talents, he thought. Some people were born
artists, some people were born rich, some people were born to be lovers, and
Dean believed he was one of the last kind and thus had accepted his fate.

He left the shack where he lived by himself and walked a few minutes until he
was at his father’s garage.

“Dad? Are you there?” Dean opened the gate and walked into the salvage yard.

“Dean?” John showed up at the door after a few minutes. “You’re late. Go get to
work.”

“Yes, sir.”

John was aware that Dean was completely independent and didn’t need that job
with the cars at all. Yet, he had always been firm with his commands, and Dean
let John have things that way. He didn’t mind his dad giving him orders, even
though Dean could just turn around and leave. Dean loved his dad. He knew his
old man hadn’t had an easy life—Dean’s mom had died when he was just a
child—and Dean admired his father’s strength to have gotten through that. Even
though he didn’t quite understand the depth of a feeling like what his dad had
felt for his mom, Dean respected that, almost worshipped that, and he made sure
to visit his father often to spend time with him.

“What are you doing inside?” Dean asked.

“Research…you know, stuff.”

Dean nodded slowly. He knew his father was more than just a mechanic. The
people in town might see John Winchester as nothing but an eccentric garage
owner who fixed cars and had some very weird ideas about the world. Dean knew
that some people thought his dad was crazy because of the things he read about
and believed in.

John Winchester believed in Supernatural things. He was convinced that
creatures walked among humans, and Dean knew that he had spent most of his life
trying to prove it. Some people said that when Mary, John’s wife died, he had
lost his mind completely, but Dean didn’t agree with them. He knew better than
that. His dad was a smart, strong man, and Dean was very much inclined to
believe his crazy ideas about people that were more than just human, people who
walked among other people, but with the potential to be deadly in some sort of
occult way.

Not that Dean had time to dedicate to that kind of belief, but he took his
father’s work seriously, and hoped he would some day find something
interesting, something that helped him let go of his past and the pain it still
caused him.

Dean started working on the cars and had been working on them for a couple of
hours when Benny found him.

“Hey,” he said.

Dean rolled out from beneath the vehicle and looked at his friend. “Hi.”

“Beer?”

Dean got up, wiped his dirty hands on his pants and accepted the beer.

“Thanks.”

“Where were you yesterday?” Benny asked. “You disappeared after you started
talking to that girl. Cas and I looked for you, but then I told him you were
probably in the shack banging her already.”

“That’s only partially true. Her boyfriend walked in on us.”

“No shit? What did you do?”

“Fucked him.”

Benny’s lips parted and for a few seconds no sound came, but then there was
laughter as he shook his head. “You’re the devil. I don’t know why I’m
surprised after all these years.”

Dean chuckled. Benny, Cas and him had been friends since childhood, and they
were used to each other’s habits.

“Where’s Cas, by the way?” Dean asked after washing down his throat with the
cold beer.

“That’s what I’m here to tell you. Remember that party that Azazel will be
throwing tonight?”

“Azazel? The richest and most arrogant bastard prick this town has ever known
is throwing a party to show off how damn wealthy he is? No, didn’t hear
anything,” Dean said with sarcasm. Everyone in town had heard about tonight’s
party. It was the birthday of Azazel’s precious son, that was what everybody
knew. Yet, few people knew anything about said son, and even fewer people were
actually invited into the mansion.

“It’ll be an awesome party, you know? I’m sure Azazel won’t spare any money to
make sure everyone who goes is talking about tonight for a long time. Cas even
told me there will be live music and fireworks.”

“And how does Cas know anything about it?”

“He was invited.”

“No way!”

“Yes! He was hired to sing at the party.”

“That bastard!” Dean exclaimed. Castiel had the voice of an angel. He was
trying to make a career in singing, and a lot of people in town were aware of
his talent. Azazel seemed to be one of these people. “Is he going, then?”

“Yep. And so are we.”

“Come again?” Dean frowned.

“Cas got us on the list under fake names.”

“Uh, Benny? I don’t know if you got dumb or what, but pretty much everyone in
town knows my face, and you know I’m not welcome at that place.”

Azazel and John Winchester had had some run-ins in the past. There was no love
lost between the two of them, and with his power and influence, Azazel had made
sure John Winchester was restricted to his cars and his research without having
much attention from anyone else in town. The two of them pretty much hated each
other, and Dean was sure that Azazel knew who he was.

“Well, that’s where the good part comes. It’s a costume party.”

“A costume party?” Dean’s lips twitched with a smile.

“Exactly. We can both go disguised as something else, crash Azazel’s fancy
party, eat and drink ourselves stupid with the finest food and most expensive
drinks, see Cas perform and be out of there without them having a clue we were
ever in.”

Dean listened carefully to the idea.

“So, what do you say? Let’s go?”

“I don’t know…you know I want nothing to do with Azazel and his nasty bunch.”

“So take this chance to eat and drink on him. He would be so pissed if he ever
found out he was opening his home to Dean Winchester!” Benny smiled and
provoked.

Dean thought about it and felt himself warming up to the idea.

“It’s his son’s birthday you said?” Dean’s eyes lit up with mischief. “Let’s go
wish the kid happy birthday then,” he chuckled lightly. The opportunity to do
something he wasn’t supposed to and make a fool of his father’s enemy was too
irresistible. “Tell Cas we’re going.”

Chapter 2



“Samuel?”

Azazel walked into his son’s room and found him in the balcony, staring into
the darkening sky.

Sam turned around and saw the smile on his dad’s face as he studied Sam’s
costume.

“Lovely. I knew it would look perfect on you.”

Sam gave a side glance at the pair of feathery wings and shrugged. He had put
on the special costume his dad had chosen for him—white jeans, white shirt,
silver tie, and a large pair of wings to top off the angelic look. He thought
it was cheesy, but he knew his dad was pleased with what he saw so Sam didn’t
say anything.

“Are you excited about tonight? About your party?”

“Yes, Dad. Thank you.”

Azazel frowned and studied the boy. “What’s wrong, Samuel?”

Sam closed his eyes and sighed. Where could he begin? Sometimes he felt as if
everything in his life was wrong. There were wings on his back now, but Sam
felt caged, more like a bird rattling against iron bars, not knowing what
freedom tasted like.

“Nothing. I just…I just wish I had more time for myself, you know.”

“Do you want time alone so you can be naughty?”

Sam’s heart skipped a beat and he felt his cheeks coloring.

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

“Good, because you know you’re not supposed to—”

“I know, Dad,” Sam cut him off hurriedly. “I just wanted to go out, to do
things other people do. You invite a lot of people in but you hardly let me go
out.”

“I see. Well, I do this to protect you. You know I like to keep an eye on you.”

“You need to trust me. I know what I’m allowed to do and what I’m not supposed
to do. Besides, you will know if something happens, won’t you?”

Azazel seemed to consider that for a moment.

“I suppose that’s true.”

“So why don’t you give me more freedom?”

The older man sighed and smiled. “My dear boy… I promise I’ll think about it,
okay? But tonight let’s forget about thoughts of anything beyond these walls,
because the most important people in town and, I dare say, in the country, will
be right here tonight to celebrate your birthday.”

Sam smiled without much enthusiasm.

“And speaking of said people, c’mon.” Azazel put an arm around Sam’s shoulders.
“Come with me, there’s someone I would like you to meet.”

Sam followed his dad out of his room and down the stairs to the big hall of
entrance where a tall man stood under a shiny chandelier.

When Sam walked closer he could see the man’s eyes were intently fixed on him,
and a smile came to the man’s lips, a smile that for some reason sent chills
down Sam’s spine.

“Samuel, I want you to meet Lucifer.”

“Hello, Sam.” Lucifer reached out his hand.

Sam started at it for a second or two, but before it got awkward enough for his
dad to disapprove, he reached out his hand and shook the man’s.

“I can see your father’s words didn’t do you justice. You’re much more adorable
than he could have prepared me for.”

Sam looked into the eyes studying him but didn’t say anything. He pulled his
hand back and forced a faint smile to his lips not to be rude.

“Samuel, Lucifer is the most powerful business man in the country. It’s an
honor to have him here tonight. He came especially for your party.”

“He did?” Sam asked.

“I did, prince.” Lucifer nodded. “I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

“Is he more powerful than you?” Sam asked his dad curiously, wanting to see the
effect of his words.

Azazel chuckled nervously.

“Lucifer is the reason I am what I am today, Samuel. I owe everything I have to
him,” Azazel said humbly, staring into Lucifer’s eyes.

“You’re kind, my friend,” Lucifer smiled widely before shrugging off the
matter. “You deny your own importance, Azazel,” he said and then looked at Sam
again. “So, prince…your father hasn’t yet shown me all of the place. Perhaps
you could give me a tour before the guests begin to show up?”

Sam narrowed his eyes in an analytical way.

“I’m sorry, sir. I’m afraid I still have things to prepare for the night. But
I’m sure there are many servants who would be pleased to show you around,” he
declined politely. “Now if you both excuse me… Dad? I’d better finish getting
ready.”

Azazel seemed disappointed, but he nodded. “Yes, sure. Go get ready. Tonight is
your night, you deserve the best.”

He watched as Sam turned around and went back up the stairs, leaving Lucifer
and he alone.

“So, what do you think of him?” Azazel asked.

“He’s perfect. Just like you promised he would be. I want him, Azazel. I want
him now.”

Azazel chuckled with delight. “I’m sorry, Lucifer, but you’ll have to wait a
little. I promised you could have him, but he’s still very important to me.”

Lucifer nodded with understanding.

“How long do you think you’re gonna need him for?” ‘For how long can you keep
him a virgin?’, was what Lucifer was truly asking.

“I don’t know. A couple of years maybe. He’s all yours when I’m done.”

Lucifer nodded. He knew he had to be patient. And honestly, now that he had
laid eyes on Sam for the first time, he knew that waiting for him to be his
would be a delightful experience he looked forward to, one that would pay off
completely eventually. Lucifer was patient. He could wait.

“Excuse me. I need to make sure the final arrangements are all set.” Azazel
nodded in Lucifer’s direction and left, too.


~ * ~


The guests began to arrive as soon as the sun set in the horizon. At eight
p.m., when Dean arrived with Benny, the party was full of people dressed in the
most colorful and inventive costumes. Benny was wearing a black cape and black
mask, and Dean was wearing the shining armor of a knight, and a golden mask he
held over his face as they approached the entrance.

The two friends slipped in under fake names, and just like that they found
themselves inside Azazel’s mansion, being served by his elegant waiters who
carried trays with champagne glasses and helping themselves to the many kinds
of tasty food served all around them.

“Told you it’d be worth it,” Benny said after accepting one more glass of
champagne.

“Whatever,” Dean said before filling his mouth with food until his cheeks
popped out. “I’d much rather be getting laid now,” he grinned when his words
caused crumbs to fly out of his mouth.

“You’re disgusting,” Benny laughed. “Remind me again, why do I hang out with
you?”

“Because I’m awesome, of course. You and Cas, you can’t live without me.”

“Right,” Benny chuckled.

“What time does he sing?”

“I don’t know. I think they’re gonna save the act for when more people arrive.”

Dean sighed and looked around the fancy and wide room around them. There were
colors and gleaming outfits everywhere. There was music and laughter, and not
for the first time in his life Dean wondered how Azazel had made so much money
and whether his dad might indeed be on to something when it came to the
arrogant and mysterious owner of that posh house.

“You know, look around…you might still get lucky tonight,” Benny suggested.

“I doubt it. Lots of boring old people in here.” Dean looked at a few faces
near him before drinking some more champagne. “Besides, what with all these
masks, it’d be really hard to tell whether or not someone is…” Dean let his
voice trail off  when his eyes found something that made his heart twitch.
‘really pretty’, he finished the thought to himself.

Benny was still waiting for Dean to finish his thought, but no words came out
of his friend’s mouth. Dean’s green eyes stared intently at something, or
someone, on the second story of the house, and judging by the way his lips
parted with a small smile, Benny could tell his friend liked what he saw.

The white, feathery wings adorned such a sweet face that Dean was unable to
look away. There were no masks, just the young face of a boy who looked bored
out of his mind—his lips almost pouty, his hazel eyes lost in the distance.

Dean felt his heart thud with approval and his smile became larger, and that
was when the boy looked down and their eyes met.


~ * ~


Sam had hardly tasted any of the expensive treats the waiters were serving
tonight. He knew his dad didn’t want him to drink, so Sam didn’t even bother
looking at the glasses full of bubbles that swept past him at a rapid speed.

He was bored.

It was his birthday and the party was his present. He was supposed to be
enjoying himself, talking to people, showing himself off, as his dad obviously
intended him to. Yet, one look at the kind of people around him and Sam knew he
didn’t feel like talking.

He didn’t know anyone there, except Lucifer, and Sam wanted to keep his
distance from that man. He had asked his dad to invite Bobby Singer, but so far
Sam hadn’t seen his teacher yet. He wondered if Bobby would come. It was not
lost on Sam that Azazel and Bobby weren’t exactly friends. His dad tolerated
his teacher because he knew Bobby was the best one in town, and Bobby, well, he
was being paid for his services. Although Sam liked to think that the older man
cared a little about him, too. So Sam didn’t know whether or not his only
friend would show up.

Besides, there was Crowley, every now and then he was behind Sam, watching him
from a distance. Sam didn’t need to be reminded that he was being constantly
watched. How could he relax and enjoy his party with the reminder that his life
was not his own, that his dad had eyes on him twenty four seven, that he
couldn’t make his own decisions?

Sam sighed and went closer to the rail hand where he let his elbows rest as he
watched the people moving on the first floor.

He could see an array of costumes and vibrant colors. There were masks and
capes and feathers, and at least the people there seemed to be having a good
time, Sam thought as he listened to the rising sound of laughter.

And then there was him.

Sam’s eyes had been straying, not looking for anything, no hope and not a hint
of excitement until they fell on the knight looking at him.

An icy gust of breath made its way out of his chest and past his lips, and Sam
didn’t know how to describe what he felt when their eyes met, but suddenly the
beat of the music was fading in comparison to the loud thuds echoing inside of
him.

That was the most beautiful stranger Sam had ever seen.

He hadn’t seen many people in his life, that was true, and he definitely hadn’t
been around a lot of attractive people, so maybe that was why Sam couldn’t look
away.

And when that stranger smiled, because he did smile—a wide, confident,
impossibly knowing smile—Sam felt a shudder rake through him and blur his
thoughts.


~ * ~


“What are you looking at?” Benny questioned as Dean’s eyes clearly couldn’t
have enough.

“An angel,” Dean spoke softly, his eyes drinking every feature of that face
that looked intently at him now.

Benny finally turned around and found what his friend was looking at. Who his
friend was seeing. He shook his head playfully and yet with evident
disapproval.

“I was kidding before, you know. Can’t you keep it in your pants for one
night?”

Dean hardly heard him. The angel boy had just turned around and disappeared in
the middle of the people around him. Dean’s smile faded and he narrowed his
eyes to try and locate him.

“Where did he go…?” He whispered.

“Dean, seriously. We don’t know who that boy is, but we do know he’s in
Azazel’s house. Stay away from him; you’ll get us in trouble.”

“Getting in trouble over that face is the kind of thing that makes life worth
it, Benny.”

Dean was already moving towards where he thought the boy might have gone.

“You’re seriously messed up,” Benny said before he watched, helpless, as Dean
left him behind and disappeared in the crowd of people.


~ * ~


Sam moved when he couldn’t keep staring any longer. He felt his knees were
growing weak and he could feel his pulse was fast. Who was that stranger? Was
he a friend of his father’s? Sam hoped not. And he didn’t really think he was.
There seemed to be trouble written all over that leering smile. And yet, Sam
felt himself desperately intrigued by it.

When he made his way to the elevator he didn’t really know what he was
thinking. He had probably stopped thinking altogether, because it felt like
something easy and powerful had taken over his brain and kicked off any
rational thoughts.

Yet, Sam wasn’t so careless that he didn’t look around to see whether Crowley
was watching him or not, and he was. At the same time he tried to act cool
about his hurried steps, Sam made sure he got to the elevator before Crowley
had a chance to catch up.

When the door shut and he started to go down, Sam was alone and felt a
discharge of adrenaline.

What was he doing? Why was he going downstairs? Did he really want to see that
man from up close?

Yes.

Sam didn’t know why he wanted it, but never in his life had anyone looked at
him with the same glint in their eyes, and Sam was curious. And eager. And
nervous.


~ * ~


“Excuse me, miss. Sorry. Excuse me.” Dean tried to make his way past a lot of
people with spacious costumes, and had to dodge waiters and trays of food on
his way to the stairs.

The moment he tried to go up, though, Dean realized it would take him way too
long. The stairs were full of people talking loudly and coming and going. By
the time he got upstairs he didn’t know if he would see his angel there.

And it was then that Dean saw the elevator doors. He frowned at first, because
he didn’t quite understand why there was an actual elevator inside a three-
story house, but if that thing worked, Dean was not complaining.

He gave up trying to climb the stairs and walked towards the elevator doors.
His hand was raised halfway to the button he would push when the doors opened
and revealed an angel from heaven inside.

When the doors parted to show the knight’s face, and the same smile, Sam sucked
in his breath and stood still. From this small distance he could look into the
green eyes studying him carefully, and feel the way that stranger looked at
him…it caused the skin on Sam’s arms to tingle and grow hotter.

Dean drank in the sight before him. The huge, curious eyes, the hair that fell
on the boy’s forehead and that he now ran quick fingers through. Damn, he
looked beautiful. Ready to take. Dean didn’t think twice before slipping inside
the elevator and pushing the button that would isolate them from the rest of
the party.

The moment the doors closed and they were alone, the two young men stared at
each other intently while the world drowned in silence.

***** Chapter 3 *****
Chapter Notes
     Thank you so much Vershiel for beta-ing it! =D
      
     This chapter, and the story, depicts an extremely unhealthy
     relationship between Azazel and Sam. It's definitely what can be
     called abuse and may upset some people. The abuse in this
     relationship is not sexual, neither will it ever be, but it can still
     be considered disturbing and very much alike that kind of abuse. I
     advise sensitive readers to proceed with caution.
 
Chapter 3



Dean couldn’t understand why that boy made all his senses alert but he did.
There was something in his eyes that aroused more than just Dean’s desire.
There seemed to be a silent, thick veil of mystery behind those curious eyes,
and Dean stepped closer to try and read them.

Sam stepped back and swallowed hard. ‘Control yourself!’ His mind urged, so he
took a deep breath and raised his chin a little, which made Dean smile further.

“You’ve just made a believer out of me.”

Sam’s eyes narrowed.

“Is that so?”

“It is. I now officially believe that angels are real.”

Sam’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly took another deep breath to clear
his mind off that strange haze.

“Are you that easily fooled, then?” He retorted, and this time there was a
cocky smile on his lips.

That caused Dean to chuckle.

“I believe I am. When it comes to beauty like yours, I’m nothing but a fool.”

They felt the movement beneath their feet when the elevator came to a stop. To
Dean’s surprise, the door that opened was not the one behind his back, but the
one behind the boy.

They had just arrived on the top floor of the mansion, where a huge balcony
held even more people with more extravagant costumes.

Sam took a step backwards, his eyes playful.

Dean was about to follow him out of the elevator and onto that huge balcony
when someone else approached them.

“I was wondering where you were. Come, they’re going to start the fireworks.”

Sam felt Lucifer’s hand wrap around his arm, and suddenly he was being guided
away towards the opening sky and the people who were excitedly waiting for the
show to begin. He looked over his shoulder several times, to the place where
the knight was, right behind him, following him closely.

Dean didn’t know who the stranger who had swept his angel away was, but he made
sure to keep them within his sight. The way the boy’s head kept turning back in
his direction with a glint in his eyes that spoke volumes was enough to keep
Dean on the edge, dying to be alone with him again.

The loud noise of firecrackers bursting in the sky caused an uproar from the
crowd. Suddenly, all eyes were up in the sky, watching the trails of light that
danced with the stars in explosions of brightness.

Dean took the opportunity to get closer to the boy and the man who was now
resting his arm around the boy’s shoulders.

Sam looked at Lucifer and smiled when he realized he was being looked at, but
his attention was truly lying in the movement he could feel behind him. He
didn’t have to look to know the knight was watching him from a small distance.
It was like Sam could feel that stranger’s eyes burning on him.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?” Lucifer was asking.

“Yeah. It is…” Sam took a few small steps backwards away from Lucifer’s arm,
counting on the show in the sky to keep Lucifer’s mind busy.

He stood still and his breath shortened when he felt a hand find his own. He
looked over his shoulder and saw the same striking green eyes studying him as
the knight held his hand.

“You should go…” Sam mouthed the words.

“How can I? These fools may be impressed by the fireworks, but even the stars
are envious of the light in you,” Dean whispered.

“You are ridiculous…” Sam chuckled softly, but he imagined he was blushing.

“And you are to blame…”

When Sam realized that Lucifer was looking for him, he felt the need to move
fast.

“C’mon,” he said, tugging at the hand still tangled with his. “Elevator.
Again.”

Dean followed the boy quickly as he led them back to the safety and privacy of
the elevator, except this time when the doors shut on them, Dean pushed the one
button that could buy him time.

“What have you done?” Sam’s eyes widened when he felt the elevator stop moving
and get stuck in the middle of its way down.

“Just getting to know you.”

Sam could see those green eyes so close to his face, and the moment the knight
touched his cheek with the back of his hand, Sam’s heart slammed against his
chest and his lips parted.

Dean narrowed his eyes at the complexity of feelings in the boy’s tentative
stare. His hazel eyes were wide and almost fearful, and yet, the boy’s body was
clearly enjoying their closeness.

“If you look this good, I can only wonder what you’re gonna taste like…”

Sam’s breath became short and strangled when the stranger’s face came closer
and his breath puffed against his cheeks. Sam still had time to see the
knight’s lips parting slightly before Sam shut his eyes fiercely and closed his
fists tightly.

The kiss was soft. Softer than what Sam was expecting. Hell, he didn’t know
what he was expecting. He had never kissed anyone before, and he didn’t know
what to do so he waited, he waited with his heart beating in every corner of
his body as the young man dressed in shining armor pressed their lips together.

Dean relished the warmth of the boy’s lips on his own, and their softness, too.
But it wasn’t enough; it was far from enough. He let his tongue tease between
the boy’s lips, begging for entrance.

Sam parted his lips more out of surprise than because he knew what to do. The
moment the stranger’s tongue was inside his mouth, licking at his, Sam
shuddered and it felt like his body had started to burn.

Suddenly, it wasn’t just the tongue inside his mouth, it was the body pressed
against him, pinning him to the wall behind his back. Sam could feel the heat
underneath the armor, and when a pair of hands ran softly up his bare arms,
goosebumps broke on his skin and Sam shook.

Dean felt the tremors and pulled away. What he saw went straight to the core of
his hunger. The boy’s lips were glistening with his saliva, his eyes were
wildly lost and drowning with lust, and Dean could feel the heat against his
fingertips.

“God…You’ve no idea how badly I want you right now…” Dean’s voice dropped to
something low and promising before he captured the boy’s mouth in a searing
kiss.

Sam’s head was spinning. This time the kiss wasn’t soft. This time he felt like
his mouth was being stripped naked under that stranger’s knowing skills. He let
himself be kissed passionately, and as their tongues rubbed messily, Sam felt
himself swell with need.

Dean’s lips moved to the lovely column of exposed flesh on the boy’s neck, and
he planted small, butterfly kisses on his skin before sucking at the place
where the angel’s neck and shoulder met, licking at the skin as if he licked
his favorite ice cream.

“Hmm.” Sam squirmed. The ticklish feeling aroused him to the point where he
couldn’t hide anymore. He had never been touched like that, and his body didn’t
quite know how to react. The lips and tongue sucking on his neck made him
stiff, and when Sam closed his eyes and panted he couldn’t remember his own
name.

Dean slipped one leg between the boy’s parted ones and smiled against his skin
at the feeling of hardness pressing against his leg. He loved that the angel
boy was already so hard from so little. Dean could hardly wait to possess him.
Right now, he could have eaten him with a spoon.

“Holy heavens…you’re gonna be the death of me…” Dean whispered. “So hot from so
little…you make me wanna do things to you, all sorts of things…”

Sam felt the whispered words against his ear, felt the leg pressing against his
undeniable erection, and all he could do was grit his teeth not to let any moan
escape his lips. His head was clouded, his blood was buzzing. It had been so
long, there was so much craving in him…

“You know what I’d like to do to you?” Dean asked, his eyes not so green
anymore. It seemed like lust had made his voice thicker, his eyes darker, and
Sam caught himself helplessly listening to the words the stranger whispered in
his ear. “I would like to lick you…” Dean swallowed hard. “…in places that
would make you blush if I told you.”

“Mm,” a strangled moan escaped Sam’s mouth when he felt the knight move his
leg, rubbing it rhythmically against his arousal.

Dean could feel the boy shuddering between his body and the wall behind him. He
could smell his desire, and it drove him wild.

Sam’s fingers tightened into fists and he thrashed against that stranger’s
body. He bucked and rubbed himself against the leg between his thighs. He
couldn’t control himself anymore.

Dean licked at his ear slowly and let his lips brush the skin. His hand went
lower and grabbed at the boy’s hip when his words came slurred and moist into
the boy’s ear. “I’d tease you so softly until you opened against my fingertips
like a flower…”

“MM!” Sam blacked out for a few seconds. He didn’t even see it coming. His body
bucked forward and his legs faltered. He came so fast and so hard that for a
brief second he thought he would fall on his knees.

Dean frowned. Had the boy just…? He narrowed his eyes and studied the blushing
cheeks, the fluttering eyelashes, the clipped breathing.

Could it be? Had he made him come with just a few words and a little touching?
That was just fucking unbelievable. The thought that the boy was so sensitive
to touching was maddening. Dean wanted to push him to the floor and ravish him
right now; he wanted to push his way into his body and claim him completely.

Yet, when those hazel eyes opened and looked fearfully at him, with equal
amounts of lust and insecurity, Dean’s heart twitched and he didn’t say
anything. He leaned over and kissed the boy again, gently this time,
surprisingly sweet.

Sam kissed that warm mouth like he was drowning.

When the kiss ended and they looked into each other’s eyes, Sam wondered if the
stranger would say something about what had just happened to him. Sam wondered
if he would taunt him or make some wisecrack about his loss of control, and Sam
felt mortified with shame.

Yet, none of that happened. The knight in shining armor just looked at him with
his penetrating green eyes and let his hand cup Sam’s cheek softly before
running his fingers through his hair.

Not even Dean understood where the tenderness was coming from, but after the
heat that had taken over the boy, there was something vulnerable and scared in
his sated look, something that a part of him longed to soothe.

The moment was over when the elevator started moving again. The boys hardly had
time to look at each other questioningly before the doors were parting and the
rush and noise of the party were all over them.

“There you are! I’ve been looking for you.”

“Bobby?” Sam was surprised to see his teacher there.

“Yes, I couldn’t seem to find you. C’mon, your father wants a word with you.”

Dean felt Benny tugging at his arm and drawing him away.

“Let him go,” Benny whispered to Dean as he watched the boy dressed as an angel
be dragged away from him. “We need to leave.”

“What? What’s going on?”

“I should ask. Where were you? You missed Cas singing.”

“He sang?”

“Hey, Dean,” Castiel arrived and smiled at his friend. “Benny told me you were
chasing after some pretty angel and didn’t see my show.”

“I’m sorry, I…” Dean still looked around trying to find the boy who had just
messed with his feelings.

“Benny’s right, though. We need to leave. I think they realized they got
unwanted guests. What did I tell you about keeping the mask on at all times?”
Castiel reprimanded.

“I can’t leave, I…” Dean’s voice died when he looked at a point in the distance
where Azazel was putting a hand on the angel’s shoulder. Dean would recognize
those yellow eyes and sneering smile anywhere. Now, as he stood in the middle
of the cheerful people around him, Dean could see Azazel introducing the angel
boy to another man by his side.

“That’s the one whose pants you were trying to get into?” Castiel asked when he
saw where Dean was looking at. “Forget it. That’s Samuel, Azazel’s son. If
anyone knew you got close to prince Samuel they would probably try to kill
you,” he chuckled, but there was seriousness in his voice.

“Prince Samuel?” Dean felt his mouth dry and his lips part with disbelief.
“That’s Azazel’s son…” He could feel the exact moment when the conflicting
emotions began to swirl inside of him and cause havoc in his heart.


~ * ~


Sam could barely listen to a word his dad was saying. He nodded politely when
he was introduced to one of his friends, but Sam could hardly wait to get away
from them, and his eyes were still looking for the stranger with green eyes who
Sam could see from across the room.

Eventually, Bobby realized there was something going on with his pupil and he
paid attention to where Sam was looking at. When Bobby saw the same look of
curious longing in the eyes of a young man dressed as a knight, he knew Sam was
in trouble.

He pulled the boy closer to himself and further away from his observing father.

“That’s Dean Winchester,” he whispered to Sam. “John Winchester’s son. The
town’s mechanic, remember?”

“The one Dad hates?” Sam’s heart sank.

“Exactly. There’s only one person your daddy hates more than John’s son, and
that’s John himself. You have got to keep your distance, Sam.”

Sam swallowed hard and when their eyes met again there was a different sort of
connection.

One that felt thick with the weight of realization.

Sam saw two other men pull and tug at the knight—at Dean—and quickly draw him
away, out of his sight.

“Do you know him?” Sam asked quickly. “Is he really that bad?” He wanted to
know.

Bobby sighed and shook his head. How could he possibly answer that knowing what
he did?

“It’s not my opinion that matters, kid, you know that. He thinks he’s bad,”
Bobby nodded at Azazel. “And that should be enough for you.”

And then Sam looked at his father and froze when Azazel’s yellow eyes fell on
him with a promise.

Sam felt fear creeping inside of him and turning cold all the heat from before.

The night was not over yet, Sam realized, and he had nowhere to run to.


~ * ~


A few hours later, when the guests had been gone for a while, Sam was lying in
his bed, staring at the ceiling. He knew Crowley was standing in a far corner
of his room, but Sam barely paid him any heed.

His mind was elsewhere.

His mind was seeing over and over again the face of the knight in shining
armor.

Dean.

The green eyes that had stared so deeply into his own, the smile that set fire
to his spine, and then…the words, the whispered promises that had caused Sam to
buck and thrash with need…

Sam shut his eyes and took a deep breath.

He had never felt anything remotely close to what he felt now. His heart kept
racing, and it was like the mere thought of that man and his closeness caused
Sam’s heart to burst into tiny pieces that burned through his veins.

Sam didn’t know how much time he spent like that, staring at the ceiling but
not really seeing anything except for the smile and the green eyes that were
haunting him now. And the heat of him, and the smell of his body when they were
close.

What the hell could he do now?

Sam felt like he was falling, and though the feeling was scary, it felt like he
was falling into something liquid and bright, that wrapped him up with warmth
and joy.

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t see it when Crowley left his room
and Azazel walked in, closing the door behind himself.

The older man walked slowly into Sam’s room and studied the boy lying on his
bed. It took Sam a while to realize he was being watched.

“Dad? How long have you been there?” Sam hadn’t heard the footsteps coming
closer to his bed.

“Long enough to enjoy the sight of you,” Azazel smiled and sat on the bed, near
his son. “Did you enjoy the party?”

“Yes, I did. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” he said, running a hand through Sam’s hair.

“I’m glad you decided to invite Bobby.”

“Ah, you know. I knew it’d please you.”

“It did. Thanks.”

“There’s no need to thank me. I just want to make you happy.” He paused and
looked into the eyes waiting for him. “And I’m here now so you can make me
happy.”

Sam swallowed hard and his heart raced, this time for an entirely different
reason.

“Hmm? Are you gonna make Daddy happy, now?” He ran a finger up and down one of
Sam’s bare arms, waiting.

Sam swallowed and nodded, sitting up in bed and tilting his head sideways.

“C’mon, Samuel…you know I like to choose a spot, don’t you?”

“Yes…” Sam whispered weakly. “Sorry.”

He stood up and pulled his sleeping shirt off his chest. Then, he lowered his
pants and underwear until he was completely naked. Sam wondered what would
happen the moment his dad realized what had happened, what he had done. Sam
wondered if he would believe him if he said it had happened in the morning and
Crowley had failed to report it. Sam was nervous.

Azazel’s eyes were half closed as he studied Sam with evident approval.

“Come here, then. Lie down.”

Sam complied. He lay back on the bed, his body taut with fear and expectation
as his dad’s fingertips started to explore his skin.

The fingers ran over the inner side of his arms and legs, and Sam felt a small
tug at his right thigh that caused him to spread his legs lightly.

Sam had taken a shower after the party, so he hoped there wasn’t any betraying
smell on his skin. He knew it was a useless hope, because as soon as his dad—

“Hm,” Sam moaned faintly when he felt the teeth sinking into his inner thigh.
The pain was sharp at first, but Sam was used to it. He shut his eyes and
waited for the storm of rage when his dad tasted his orgasm in his blood.

Sam waited, but it never came.

Instead, Azazel drank from his blood for an entire minute before pulling away
and licking at his red lips.

Sam looked expectantly at his dad, but he just smiled.

“My, my…you taste exceptionally good tonight, my prince.”

“I do?” Sam frowned.

“You do. I’ll have to be careful not to drink too much,” Azazel said before
choosing another spot and sinking his teeth into it.

Sam had no idea what was happening. He was sure that his dad would taste the
hormones in his blood and be furious at him. And yet, Azazel seemed awfully
pleased as he drank his blood from different places.

Sam didn’t know why that was happening, but he was so relieved he relaxed. It
was a miracle, and he wouldn’t question it too much.

Azazel pulled away and looked at Sam’s nakedness. Usually, his feeding on the
boy had an effect on his young body. Azazel loved when Sam got aroused from his
feeding. Not that he would ever touch his beloved boy in such a way that would
taint him, but it pleased Azazel knowing how he affected the kid. Yet, tonight
Sam seemed undisturbed by it.

“Are you tired, my sweet prince?”

“A little, yeah…” Sam lied.

“Then don’t worry. I’ll drink enough to put you to sleep. Just relax.”

Azazel shut his eyes and focused on how good the warm blood tasted in his
mouth. He choose another place and sank his teeth again, unaware that the
oxytocin running high in Sam’s blood was the sweetness he tasted above
everything else.

Sam’s eyelids grew heavy as the drinking went on. He never saw his dad leaving.
He never saw Crowley coming back and pulling a white sheet over his naked body
either.

Sam never saw anything except for that radiant smile and the green eyes of the
knight that had stolen his heart tonight.

Chapter 4



Dean took another look at Azazel’s mansion behind him and looked ahead as his
friends guided him towards his car.

“C’mon, man. Let’s go. Azazel’s dog has probably sniffed us,” Benny said,
referring to Crowley.

“I can’t believe the angel is Azazel’s son. How can such sweet perfection have
been raised by that douche bag?”

“Dean, let it go,” Castiel intervened. “You’ll never see that boy again.
Azazel’s son hardly ever leaves his dad’s house, and that’s pretty much all
that anyone knows about him.”

Dean listened to his friend’s advice, but he just couldn’t accept it. His heart
was still drumming after his encounter with his angel. Samuel was his name.
Prince Samuel. That sure sounded fancy.

Yet, all Dean could really focus on was the look of sheer lust and helplessness
on his lovely face as Dean slipped his thigh between his legs and teased him.
Dean closed his eyes and tried to remember the small sounds, the clipped
breathing, and the small rubbing that most certainly had lead to an explosion
of pleasure.

His cock twitched at the thought and his heart raced.

“I need to see him again,” Dean blurted.

“What? Are you crazy?” Benny frowned.

“They’ll kill you if you go back in there, Dean,” Castiel pointed out.

“They won’t see me. I’ll go through the backyard.”

“You’re delusional my friend. I can’t let you do that,” Benny argued.

“I need to see him again! Besides, they’ll be too drunk after the party. I can
go in unnoticed.”

“Benny, help me knock some sense into him? You’ll get caught!” Castiel
insisted.

“Getting caught means nothing if I get to see his face one more time.”

“Honestly, man, if you’re that horny we can stop at another party and you can
grab someone…” Benny was saying when Dean took off the heavy part of his knight
armor

“Don’t wait up for me,” the man dressed in shiny chain mail was already turning
his back on his friends and leaving them behind.

“Dean!” Castiel called out after his friend, but it was in vain. Dean had
already disappeared in the middle of the people still leaving the party.


~ * ~


He was soon just another person in a crowd of costumes and colors. Dean didn’t
have to hide his face much, because as he expected, everyone seemed either too
drunk or just too engrossed with one another to pay him any heed.

He walked back to the mansion, but instead of walking in, he went around it and
found himself in the middle of the backyard. There were fewer people there, but
Dean barely noticed them. He was looking at the windows on the second story and
wondering which one belonged to the boy’s room.

He was aware that what he was doing now was risky and highly stupid, but Dean
couldn’t talk himself out of it. There was something alluring in that boy, and
Dean just had to see him again.

As he made his way among the laughing people, Dean suddenly felt a large hand
resting on his shoulder and making him turn around.

“What are you still doing here?” Bobby Singer asked when he looked the young
knight in the eyes.

“Bobby?” Dean widened his eyes. He knew that man. He was a priest and a
teacher, and certainly the most knowledgeable person in town. He was also
friends with his dad. Or at least he used to be. In the past, Dean remembered
his dad being visited by Bobby quite often, but one day the visits simply
stopped happening.

“I know you, kid, and I know you’re up to no good. Go home now before you’re in
trouble.” although his voice was fierce, his eyes were soft, and Bobby hoped
the young man would listen to him.

“I can’t Bobby. I have to see him again.”

Bobby shut his eyes for a second and shook his head. That was not good, not
good at all.

“Who is it that you have to see?”

Dean didn’t reply. He let his green eyes study Bobby for a moment until the
older man was able to read the answer all over Dean’s face.

“Forget him, Dean. Azazel’s son is off limits to you, and to everyone else.”

“Why does everyone keep saying that?”

“Because it’s the truth.”

“I just want to say goodbye to him, that’s all.”

“I know you better than that,” Bobby narrowed his eyes.

“Where is his room? Which of these windows?”

“You must be crazy if you think I’ll actually tell you…”

Bobby trailed off when he saw Azazel not too far from them. He tensed and
looked more urgently at Dean.

“He’s coming. Quickly, you have to leave.” Bobby didn’t want Azazel to see him
talking to John Winchester’s son. He had been careful to keep his friendship
with the Winchester a secret, and he wasn’t about to let this be ruined now.

“I’m not going anywhere until I can see him one last time. And if you don’t
tell me how to do that then I’ll just keep looking.”

“You’ll get caught,” Bobby groaned.

“So be it.” Dean shrugged defiantly.

“Dammit,” Bobby grunted. Azazel was close now. “Go through the backyard until
you find a tall wall. You need to go over it, there’s a smaller garden there.
Sam’s window is the second to the left. There’s a balcony you can’t miss.”

Dean smiled widely.

“Thank you, Bobby.”

“Just get the hell out of my sight, you idjit,” Bobby whispered. ‘This is not
going to end well,’he thought before opening a fake smile to congratulate
Azazel on his party once again.

While Dean disappeared to the place Bobby had pointed him out to, he got closer
to Sam’s father and couldn’t help but notice the small red dot on the white
shirt he wore under his suit. Was that blood?

Bobby shrugged off his thoughts and greeted him. Perhaps things were already
heading towards a bad ending regardless of what he did.

Crowley was sitting in a corner of Sam’s room as he usually did during the
nights. The moment Azazel left, Crowley had walked in and taken his position in
a recliner in the corner from where he was supposed to watch the boy through
the night. The moment Crowley had walked into the room, though, Sam was already
asleep. Azazel must have drunk a great deal of blood, because the boy didn’t
even see Crowley walking in and sitting down.

That would be an easy night. Sam hardly ever moved, let alone woke up, in the
nights after Azazel fed on him. That put Crowley at ease. Those nights he could
even allow himself to sleep for a few hours without the fear of Sam waking up
and doing something he was not supposed to. And tonight, after having had
perhaps a few too many drinks, Crowley was thankful for the boy’s deep sleep,
because as he sat in a corner of the dark room, he could feel his eyelids grow
heavy and fall over his tired eyes.

That’s why, when a man walked into the room coming from the balcony, Crowley
didn’t hear or see anything. He was in a sleep as deep as that from the boy
whose bed the stranger walked closer to now.


~ * ~


Dean walked past the open windows of the balcony and the curtains that moved
slowly with every gust of wind. The moment he stepped inside the shadowed room,
he saw the sleeping form in bed in the middle of it.

Before he went closer, Dean looked around and found what was probably one of
Azazel’s guards sitting in a corner of the room. Dean looked in his direction
for a moment, his heart beating fast, but the man didn’t move or open his eyes.

When Dean walked closer to the corner of the room where the man was sitting, he
could smell traces of alcohol and see a small pool of drool in the corner of
his lips. Dean smiled and felt a little more confident when he walked towards
the bed.

The moment his eyes rested on the sleeping boy, Dean felt his chest tighten
with joy. It was just a pretty boy, nothing he hadn’t seen before, but Dean
could barely hide how excited he felt as his eyes studied the closed eyelids,
the small, slightly parted lips, the brown hair falling on his forehead and
covering his ear.

Dean narrowed his eyes with amusement when he saw what the boy was clutching so
close to his body. There was a teddy bear in Sam’s arms, and Dean might have
chuckled if he didn’t know silence was essential and if the boy didn’t look way
too adorable like that.

Suddenly, the boy stirred softly in bed and Dean was forced to act before the
boy opened his eyes and said anything. Dean covered the boy’s mouth quickly
with his hand and when a pair of hazel eyes darted open with shock, Dean took a
finger to his own mouth asking for silence.

Sam’s heart slammed in his chest and he could barely understand what was
happening. The knight of his dreams was real, and he was back. Sam could see
the moonlight shining through the open balcony and spilling itself on his chain
mail, making it seem like he was glowing in the middle of the night.

Then, as if he remembered something important, Sam quickly looked at the place
where Crowley usually spent the night, and he saw his dad’s servant deep
asleep. That made him relax a little.

Dean removed his hand slowly and smiled at the boy whose eyes were still wide
open in shock.

“What are you doing here?” Sam mouthed the words that were barely above a
whisper.

“I had to see you again,” Dean replied, drinking in the sight of his angel boy
and his adorable face.

“He might wake up at any moment,” Sam nodded in Crowley’s direction. “You
should go.”

“Not without a kiss. Come to the balcony with me.”

Sam felt his heart skip a beat and his body grow warmer under the covers. Then
he realized something and pulled the blanket up to his chin.

“What?” Dean whispered.

“Hand me that robe over there, please. I’m naked under this.”

Dean’s lips twitched with a leering smile.

“I wouldn’t mind seeing that…”

Sam just arched his eyebrows and didn’t move, so Dean did as asked and handed
him a silver silk robe that was hanging nearby.

He then turned around and looked into the open window and at the stars in the
sky as the boy behind him covered his nakedness.

When Sam was done, he hid the teddy bear beneath the sheets, even though the
knight had probably seen that already, and followed him outside to the balcony.

“What is it—?” Sam never had time to finish it.

The knight slipped an arm around his waist and pulled him in for a kiss. Sam
felt his knees buckle when a pair of strong arms wrapped around him and large
fingers cupped his cheek to press him further into the kiss.

The boy shut his eyes and felt his heart slam against his chest as a tongue
explored his mouth and set fire to his secret longing.

When Dean broke the kiss their lips were puffy and Sam’s breathing was erratic.
Dean smiled at that.

“So you’re Azazel’s son…” Dean murmured.

“I’m Samuel. And you are the mechanic’s son. Dean Winchester.”

Dean nodded.

“My father doesn’t like yours,” Sam pointed out.

“I know. I can assure you the feeling is mutual. My dad hates your dad.”

“Then what are you doing here tonight? Why did you come to my party?”

Dean shrugged. He studied the eyes looking intently at him.

“I have a friend who was supposed to sing here tonight, so I came. I guess you
could say I was curious to see the place.”

“You’re friends with Castiel, then.”

Dean nodded. “And you know Bobby.”

“He’s my teacher,” Sam nodded.

That made sense. Even if Azazel wasn’t a fan of Bobby Singer, Bobby was the man
with the most knowledge about everything in that town. If Azazel could afford
it, and it certainly looked like he could, he would hire the best for his kid.

“How come I’ve never seen you around town?”

“I don’t go out much,” Sam said softly and looked at his bare feet.

Dean stepped closer and put a finger under the boy’s chin to lift his eyes.

“That’s a shame for the entire world, you know? People should be allowed to
bask in your presence, to see how lovely you are…”

Sam saw those green, flashing eyes locked with his, seeing deeply into his
soul, and he felt his control slipping.

“We shouldn’t be talking. Our parents are enemies. If we’re caught together…”

“I don’t care what happens between our parents. I had to see you again, to
touch you, to kiss you…” Dean framed his face and brought his lips closer.

“Why…?” Sam asked weakly and felt his throat was dry. “Why did you need to see
me?”

Dean licked at his lips.

“You put a spell on me, I swear to God. I can’t get your face out of my head.”

Sam shuddered when their lips met again. He was getting used to that feeling,
and soon he allowed his tongue to share in some of the same tasting. With his
eyes closed, he let his mind drift, and Sam felt himself reeling as the smell
of the knight’s skin invaded his nostrils and messed with his thoughts.

“We can’t…” Sam pulled away, breathless. “I’m not…not what you think…” Sam
shook his head quickly.

“I don’t care what you are. I don’t care what I am. Forget our families. Come
with me, let’s go somewhere. Just the two of us.”

Dean narrowed his eyes and let his nose graze the boy’s neck. He could feel the
quickened pulse when his lips pressed against the skin there.

Sam bit back a moan and stepped back. He could feel himself hardening again,
and that couldn’t be good. He didn’t know how he had managed to get away
tonight, but he couldn’t risk it again. That man seemed to start a fire inside
of him and Sam couldn’t handle all that heat.

“We can’t…and I need to go back inside. If Crowley wakes up I’m in trouble.”

Sam made as if he would turn around but Dean held his hand.

“Wait. When will I see you again?”

“You can’t see me again.”

Dean paid more careful attention and realized it was fear he saw in the boy’s
eyes. He snaked a hand around Sam’s back and pulled him closer gently.

“Sam…” He spoke his name sweetly. “Is that what you want? Because if it is,
just tell me and you won’t see me again. I don’t want to bother you, I swear. I
just thought that maybe you felt something, too.”

“I do. I did,” Sam blurted. “I…” he blushed and looked away. Suddenly, he was
very self-conscious of the way he had humped the knight’s leg in the elevator
until he came fast and wet in his pants.

“Then come with me.”

“I can’t…Dean…” Sam let the name roll out of his lips, and he liked the sound
of it.

“Then tell me I can see you again. Tomorrow?”

Sam shook his head.

“I can’t.”

“When then? When do you leave this place?”

“I just leave to go to class. I see Bobby once a week.”

“Great. I’ll talk to him then.”

“Do you think he’ll help?”

“I’ll see that he does.”

They fell silent and for a moment just stared into each other’s eyes. Sam had
never felt anything like what he did now. His body came to life when Dean
touched him, and when he kissed him, Sam felt as if his body didn’t weigh
anything at all, and was just a hot, throbbing mass of need.

“I have to…”

“I know…” Dean nodded. “Just kiss me again. I want to save the taste of your
mouth so I can dream about you tonight.”

Sam complied. A few hours ago he didn’t even know what went on in a deep kiss,
but now he parted Dean’s lips with his tongue and sucked on his lips greedily,
as if that was the most natural thing for him to do.

Dean wrapped Sam tightly in his arms kissed his ear softly. “Good night,
Sammy…” He whispered and kissed softly at the skin behind the boy’s ear. “I
could stay here saying goodnight for hours.”

“You need to go…good night, Dean…”

Sam managed to step away. He was breathless and his blood pumped fast. He knew
he should not see that man again, because Dean made him lose control of
himself. And yet, Sam was desperately hoping that there would be a next
encounter.

Dean studied Sam as he stood before him, the robe drawn tight around his body
to cover his nakedness. Dean could hardly wait for the moment when he would lay
Sam on his sheets, undress him, and then devour him completely. He could
imagine how soft, how sweet it would feel to hold the boy in his arms as he
pushed inside of him, as deeply as he could.

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from Sam’s room that startled the two of
them.

“Go, quickly!” Sam mouthed urgently.

Dean nodded and turned around. He jumped out of the balcony and moved slowly
against the wall when he was safe on the ground.

“What are you doing out here?” Crowley asked suspiciously.

Sam stood very still, hoping his body in front of Crowley’s would hide Dean so
he could escape.

“I woke up and needed some air.”

Crowley cocked an eyebrow and studied the boy.

“What? Don’t look at me like that. I’ve been up for five minutes and I haven’t
done anything.” Sam looked angry.

Crowley studied him a while longer in silence before speaking again.

“Let me see you, then.”

“No,” Sam swallowed hard with outrage.

“Fine. I’ll go get your father and tell him—”

“Wait,” Sam hated his life. He hated not having control over his needs. He just
hoped that by now Dean was far away and could not see or listen to them in the
balcony.

Sam opened the belt around his waist slowly, exposing his naked body to
Crowley’s scrutinizing look.

The older man went closer and stared down at Sam’s sex. When he stretched out
his hand and touched him, obviously looking for any signs of an orgasm, Sam
shuddered with shame.

Sam gritted his teeth and felt something hot inside his throat, something that
burned inside of him with rage and helplessness.

“It’s alright. Cover yourself and go back to sleep,” Crowley said when he was
satisfied that the boy hadn’t been engaged in any kind of naughty activity.

Sam closed his robe and walked quickly past Crowley, his footsteps echoing as
he made his way back into his room and covered himself with the blanket.

Sam was shaking when he found the teddy beneath the sheets and clutched it
tightly.

He couldn’t see Dean again. It was too risky. He threatened Sam’s self control.

When Sam closed his eyes, though, he spent a long time toying with the idea of
a next encounter.

Chapter 5


Dean was finishing up with the dishes at the end of his night shift when his
friends arrived. Castiel and Benny walked towards the counter and watched as
Dean wrapped up another night of work at the bar by the beach.

“That’s interesting,” Castiel said casually.

“What is?” Dean arched a suspicious eyebrow.

“It’s the third night in a row that you finish your shift and there’s no one
waiting to go home with you,” he teased.

Dean’s heart skipped a beat but he said nothing. He wasn’t going to fall for
his friend’s provocation.

“Is it that angel?” Benny asked. “Are you still thinking about him?”

Dean sighed and put down the cocktail glass he had been holding. “What if I
am?” he asked.

“Dean…” Cas softened his voice. “You won’t see him again. Believe me, I’ve seen
the way Azazel protects him. He’s not leaving that posh prison where he lives
anytime soon. Especially not to meet you.”

“You don’t know that,” Dean argued.

“He does,” Benny helped Castiel. “He’s been in and out of that place when they
were about to hire him for the party. Cas has seen things.”

“Oh, really?” Dean put his hands flat on the counter and leaned in closer.
“What kinds of things?”

Castiel shrugged.

“See? You don’t know the first thing about Sam,” Dean said and he felt a gust
of fear when his heart throbbed at the sound of the boy’s name.

“I know he sleeps with a teddy bear,” Castiel chuckled and Benny laughed
loudly.

“No shit?” Benny widened his eyes.

“It’s true. I’ve seen that,” Castiel insisted.

“So what? Maybe that was a special gift from someone he loves. Maybe his mom
gave it to him. Are you seriously judging a kid because of that?”

“No,” Benny intervened. “He’s judging you. What’s up with you? Are you really
not going to lay anyone until you can have him?”

Dean thought about that question and felt tense.

“He can’t have him,” Castiel insisted.

The truth was, Dean didn’t really know what he was doing. Yes, he was waiting
for the boy, the angel he had met and kissed. He was waiting to see Sam again,
but Dean didn’t know when that would happen, and the truth was, it was sort of
driving him crazy with expectation.

He didn’t really think he would stop fooling around because of anyone, but for
the past three days he hadn’t felt the need to bed anyone. He wouldn’t tell his
friends, but getting home and jacking off to sweet thoughts of Sam and he in
the elevator was what he looked forward to at the end of his shift.

“Shut up, the two of you.”

Dean narrowed his eyes and shook his head as his friends laughed lightly.

“I’ll see him again. Wanna bet on it?” Dean provoked, his green eyes flashing.

“I don’t,” Castiel said quickly. “The last time I bet against you I lost a
hundred bucks.”

“I don’t either,” Benny added. “God knows what you’re capable of,” he grinned.
“I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.”

“Then do that. Wait and see, because I’ll be meeting Sam again soon.” Dean
hoped the confidence in his voice sounded louder than the insecurity.


~ * ~


It was ten days before Sam was allowed outside the mansion again. His dad had
had to leave on business, and during the time he was absent he didn’t let
Crowley take Sam to his classes. He preferred to leave knowing his precious son
would be safe within the walls of his palace.

The day he returned from the trip he had taken with Lucifer, Azazel found
Samuel asleep in bed, the teddy bear fallen beside his bed.

“Has everything run smoothly on my absence?” Azazel asked Crowley the moment he
walked into the bedroom.

“Yes, sir. Nothing unusual. Sam took his classes indoors as you requested. He
hasn’t done anything improper.”

“Good,” Azazel spoke absently as he leaned down and picked up the teddy bear.
“You can leave now.”

Azazel heard the footsteps when Crowley walked away and left them alone. He sat
by the boy’s bed and watched Sam sleep. His fingers toyed casually with the
teddy bear before he settled the stuffed animal next to Sam’s face.

Azazel had read up on wild animal trainers who kept feeding big and deadly
felines milk bottles during practice, as a reminder of the sweetness they had
experienced when they were cubs.

The teddy bear Sam had from when he was a baby was, Azazel hoped, a reminder of
the docility of his childhood. He encouraged Samuel to keep his toys, and tried
to make sure the boy carried some of his childhood habits with him in the hope
that his innocence would last longer.

There had been times when Samuel had shown him a glimpse of the inevitable
future by trying to resist Azazel’s commands. There had been times when Sam
gave obvious signs that he was growing out of his childish feelings. Yet, for
as long as he could help it, Azazel would make sure his child remained pure and
virginal.

Sam stirred in bed and opened his eyes. He looked at his dad watching over him
and felt the teddy bear that had been pushed against him.

“You’re back,” Sam said.

“I am.”

“When did you arrive?”

“In the middle of the night.”

“How was the trip?”

“Just boring business stuff,” Azazel said as Sam stretched and sat up in bed.
“I won’t bother you with it.” He studied the boy and ran his fingers through
his disheveled hair. “How were things here while I was gone?”

“Boring, too. I miss going out for my classes. You promised you’d give me more
freedom.” Sam thought of that magic night in which a knight dressed in shining
armor had made his heart throb. Said knight, Dean, had been making his dreams
much more interesting for the past nights, and Sam could hardly wait to see him
again.

“Crowley told me you’ve been a good boy. Is that so?”

Sam lowered his eyes to the bedspread. “You don’t trust me,” he mumbled,
accusingly.

“I do, sweet prince. You’re just so precious to me; you cannot blame me for
being overzealous.”

Sam tensed a little when his dad took his wrist to his mouth and kissed the
sensitive skin there.

“I’ll be busy for the next few weeks, Sam. Lucifer and I have important
business to take care of, so now more than ever I’m going to have to trust you
to be a good boy. Can you do that for me?”

Azazel licked over the pulsating vessel just below Sam’s milky skin.

“You know you can. Now will you let me go to classes? Will you give me more
time outside?”

Azazel’s yellow eyes seemed to burn into Sam’s, and for a moment Sam’s heart
raced.

“Sure,” Azazel smiled. “As long as you take Crowley with you to assist in
whatever you need…”

“I can do fine without him.”

“I know. But either you take Crowley with you, or you can do fine here.” Azazel
was reluctant to let Sam interact with other people. He had been protecting him
all his life. Yet, he feared that the longer he tried to keep Sam away, the
more rebellious he would grow, and he couldn’t have that. Making sure Crowley
would be there to keep an eye on the boy was a good idea. Azazel knew that
Crowley was terrified of disobeying him, and that he feared for his life for
what could happen if he let someone close enough to taint Sam’s innocence.

Sam’s lips tightened. He knew there was no point going against his dad. He
would just have to find a way to be smarter than Crowley, but Sam thought he
could pull it off.

“Okay, Dad.”

“Good. Now be a good boy and get dressed. I’ll be expecting you for breakfast.”

Sam was about to move when Azazel’s hand tightened around his wrist and held
him where he was.

“I meant your breakfast. I’ll have mine now,” he smiled wolfishly and sank his
teeth into the skin of Sam’s wrist, allowing for blood to flow into his mouth.

“Hm,” Sam moaned sharply at the unexpected pain. He frowned and then relaxed,
watching and waiting as his dad had his way.

A few minutes later, when Azazel let him go, he licked at his lips
appreciatively.

“My sweet boy…” The man caressed Sam’s cheek softly. “You taste like paradise
on earth. I wish I could have more, but I know you have a busy day ahead.”
Azazel usually drank more from Sam before bedtime, because depending on the
amount of blood he drained he knew the child would be weak and unable to get
up. He needed to wait to have more, even though Samuel tasted spectacularly
hard to resist.

“Get ready and come downstairs,” Azazel said as he got up.

“Thanks, Dad…” Sam swallowed hard and started to look for his clothes.

The moment Azazel was gone Sam took a deep breath, relishing being alone in his
room. The feeling, though, was as short lived as it always was. Not a minute
later Crowley was there to watch him as he changed into his daily clothes.

“I have class today,” Sam said, looking at his dad’s servant. “And you’re to
accompany me to it.”

“So I’ve been told, prince,” Crowley bowed his head lightly. “It’ll be my
pleasure.”

‘And my nightmare’,  Sam thought to himself, wondering how he would manage to
lose his father’s watchdog and meet Dean once again.


~ * ~


Sam had his breakfast quickly and watched his father pace around the living
room back and forth as he spoke on the phone. The thought that his father would
be too busy to pay him further heed was encouraging, and Sam went up and
started to get ready to leave.

He took a shower while Crowley watched him from a corner. The moment was so
usual that it shouldn’t bother him anymore, but it did. Sam got dressed quickly
and Crowley followed him down the stairs.

“Dad, I’m leaving,” Sam said as he held his backpack over his shoulder.

“Aren’t you going to have lunch first?”

“It’s been a while since my last class. I’ll probably eat something with
Bobby.”

“No junk food, I hope. You know how I feel about it.”

“No, Dad.” He knew, of course. Sam was aware that whatever he ate influenced on
his blood and the way it tasted.

Azazel stopped what he was doing and stared at Samuel for a moment before
letting his eyes focus on Crowley.

“Alright. You take good care of him.” Azazel’s yellow eyes narrowed briefly and
Crowley could swear they flashed with a dangerous glint. He servant nearly
shuddered.

“Yes, sir, of course.” Crowley bowed his head respectfully.

“I’ll see you for dinner then. Behave yourself.”

“I will.” Sam swallowed hard when he thought of the things he wanted to do. He
wanted to see Dean again; he hoped he would. And he didn’t want to behave.

“Have a good class.”

Sam thanked his father and turned around to leave the mansion. A few moments
later, Crowley was opening the door and letting Sam into the black limo Azazel
owned.

After ten days of longing to be outdoors, Sam was finally on his way to meet
his teacher, and he hoped Bobby could give him some information on how to find
Dean Winchester again.


~ * ~


John watched from the door as his son worked on the black Impala in the garage.
He sipped from a cup of coffee slowly and let his thoughts swirl away with the
smoke coming from the dark liquid.

“Oh, hey Dad,” Dean said when he realized his father was looking at him. “I’ve
stopped by to finish working on this beauty.”

“You went to Azazel’s home,” John said slowly, his voice seeming
expressionless.

Dean stopped what he was doing and wondered what his father was thinking right
now. Was he mad? He seemed mad.

“Yeah, I did. Cas was going to sing in there, so I crashed the party with
Benny…you know, free food.” Dean tried to make light of it.

“You shouldn’t have gone,” John said simply.

Dean breathed in and out slowly as he thought of what to say next. He knew he
was stepping onto thin ice now.

“It was just a stupid party. He didn’t even know I was there.” For some reason,
Dean knew it would be better if he left the fact that he had gotten close to
Azazel’s son out of the conversation.

“Still. You shouldn’t have gone,” John repeated.

“Dad, I know how you feel about Azazel and I agree, the guy is a prick, but—”

“You have no idea how I feel about Azazel,” John lowered his voice to something
somber, and something in his father’s eyes made Dean stir.

“Well, I would know more if you talked to me about him. All you ever tell me is
that he’s not a good person and that I shouldn’t trust the bastard. It wouldn’t
hurt to be more specific.”

“Azazel is not a good person and you shouldn’t trust the bastard,” John said
stubbornly and Dean sighed.

“What has he ever done to you?” he asked.

John finished sipping his coffee and licked his lips.

“Stay away from that man, Dean. He’s dangerous.”

“His son didn’t seem so bad,” Dean let the words out of his lips before he
could stop himself.

John seemed to turn to salt where he was. His fingers tightened their grip on
the cup not to let it fall, and his eyes were absolutely unreadable.

“Stay away from him, too,” John said raspily.

Dean watched when his father turned around and disappeared into the house.

“Dad?” Dean followed his father inside. “What’s going on? Why don’t you tell me
what’s wrong with Azazel and his family? The people in town…”

“The people of this town are idiots,” John said curtly. “They don’t know the
first thing about the man who rules their city.” John carried a rifle and
looked for his hat. “I’m going to hunt some foxes. Don’t wait up for me.”

Dean watched as his father walked past him and into one of the cars in the
salvage yard.

Not for the first time in his life Dean found himself wondering what it was
that had happened between Azazel and his dad. Sam had told him that Azazel
hated his dad, which meant that John’s feelings weren’t one sided.

Dean might have given it further thought, but soon Castiel and Benny were
rushing into the garage and looking expectantly at him.

“What do you want?” Dean asked at his friends’ grinning faces, his mood foul.

Castiel and Benny exchanged a knowing look and chuckled.

“Is John in?” Benny asked.

“No. My dad’s just left. Why?”

“We come bearing news,” Castiel snickered.

“What kind of news?” Dean frowned.

“Guess who’s just been seen walking into Bobby Singer’s church for his
classes?”

Dean’s heart seemed to spiral into his chest, in a clear threat of trying to
steal his breath away.

“Holy shit, man. You’re eyes have just sparkled,” Benny teased.

“Shut up,” Dean said quickly, barely paying the provocation any heed. “Is Sam
there? Is this a joke?”

“No. It’s no joke,” Benny said. “Castiel here has just seen the black limo stop
and Azazel’s son get off and walk into the church.”

Dean looked at Castiel, his eyes craving a confirmation.

“It’s true,” Castiel said. “Your precious angel is now talking to Bobby.”

“Hey, where are you going?” Benny asked the moment Dean dropped the tools he
had been holding and made it for the house.

“Shower. I can’t meet my angel covered in oil, now can I?” Dean flashed a
radiant smile and his green eyes lit up the gray morning.

Chapter 6



Sam arrived at the church where Bobby Singer lived and where he kept a neat
classroom and library one could reach by taking the stairs behind the altar and
going down. He got out of the car and Crowley followed him to the entrance.

“You can stay in the car,” Sam said.

“I must go everywhere with you, prince.”

“Not to class. Bobby will be there with me.”

“I can’t see Bobby anywhere, and until I do…”

“Hi, Sam,” Bobby showed up at the church door and smiled at the youngster.
“Ready for class?”

“I am.” Sam’s eyes lit up when he saw his friend and teacher.

“You can leave him under my care, Crowley. We’ll let you know when class is
over so you can take him back.”

Crowley narrowed his eyes at Bobby and Sam thought he saw the hint of smile
that was half disgust and half sarcasm.

“Alright, then. See you later, prince.” he bowed reverently and went back to
sit in the car.

Sam sighed with relief when Bobby walked him into the church and towards the
classroom in the back.

“Good to see you, Sam. It’s been a while,” Bobby said as they walked into the
room that had a black board, an old wooden desk, a few chairs, and a tall
bookcase filled with all sorts of titles.

“I know. Dad wouldn’t let me come sooner.”

“I see…” Bobby studied the kid. “I hope all is well, though…?”

“Yeah, everything’s fine. Thanks for coming to my birthday party.”

“You’re welcome. It was a magnificent event.”

“Whatever,” Sam shrugged. “My dad likes extravagant things.”

Bobby looked at the sad smile on those boyish features and wondered what was
really going on inside the boy’s head. It wasn’t that Sam looked sad, it was
just…there was something about him, some sort of shadow in his bright eyes that
always made Bobby curious.

“I’m sure he does. I hope you had some fun, though.”

Sam sucked in his breath and his heart raced when he thought of the knight and
him in the elevator, and how it had felt when they kissed, and when Dean—Dean
Winchester!—had touched him…

Bobby was organizing the chairs when he looked up and frowned. Sam’s features
had shifted to something different, and Bobby wondered if John’s kid had
anything to do with that. After all, he did remember Dean asking him about
Sam’s bedroom at the end of the party. Bobby hoped he was just imagining
things, because the thought that Dean had anything to do with Azazel’s son was
nothing but trouble.

“So, I’ve been thinking about our next lesson, and I think we might talk about
ancient laws today. There’s a fantastic Greek book somewhere in here…”

“Do we have to?” Sam asked quickly. His heart pounded in his chest with a doubt
that had been visiting him during his time awake.

“Uh…” Bobby shrugged lightly. “We never have to study anything particular, Sam.
That was just a suggestion. Why, is there something else you would like us to
talk about?”

“Chemistry, maybe?” Sam offered. “You know…the part about hormones and stuff…”

Bobby narrowed his eyes and it wasn’t lost on him the way Sam seemed slightly
edgy. He wondered whether the kid had something he wanted to ask him.

“All right. What kind of hormones do you have in mind?” Bobby probed.

Sam licked at his lips nervously and thought carefully about his next words.

“Once you told me that hormones have no taste. Not that we would notice
anyway…”

“Yes…” Bobby remembered telling Sam that it was nothing a human would be able
to taste, but he choose not to say anything about that.

“Well…so if we could…maybe some hormones would taste bad, right?” Sam frowned.
“Like…say…testosterone?”

“I suppose… I honestly don’t know something like that.”

“I wonder if there is…you know,” Sam went on despite Bobby’s puzzled look. “A
hormone that might actually taste good?”‘You taste exceptionally good tonight’,
the words echoed in Sam’s mind, the words his daddy had spoken to him the night
after the party. Sam had had an orgasm, and yet, when Azazel drank his blood he
tasted something good, something that overlapped the taste of the testosterone
released in his blood.

“That’s a tricky question considering I don’t really know what hormones might
taste like.” Bobby wondered what it was that lay behind Sam’s question. What
did the kid really want to know?

“I know…” Sam seemed frustrated. “But if there was one hormone that tasted
good, which one would it be?” Sam asked, and then seemed to have a better idea.
“What is the greatest hormone of them all?”

“I’ve told you before, each one has a different function, and they’re all
equally important…”

Sam looked disappointed.

“But…” Bobby went on and he could swear the kids’ eyes lit up at that but. “I
suppose that if something tasted good it would probably be the love hormone.”

“The love hormone?” Sam felt his heart race.

“Oxytocin, remember? We talked about it.”

“I guess…” Sam tried to think hard about their previous classes on the subject.
“Isn’t it the one responsible for women giving birth and then breast-feeding?”
He didn’t understand the connection.

“It is,” Bobby seemed pleased that the boy remembered. “But it’s also the
hormone which levels will increase dramatically when one falls in love.”

Sam didn’t blink.

“I’ve read some studies that have shown high levels of oxytocin in people who
claimed to be madly in love with someone else, and said levels were
particularly high when they were exposed to the object of their affection. So
yeah, maybe this is something that would taste good if we could, you know,
taste it.”

Sam nodded slowly and fell silent. That made sense. That made a hell of a lot
of sense. The night Dean showed up at his house his feelings had been wild. Sam
didn’t know if he was in love, but he knew his heart had raced erratically, and
his blood had seemed to pump several degrees hotter the night he and Dean
Winchester met and kissed.

“Why are you so interested in hormones?” Bobby asked casually. He had some
ideas, but they were almost too terrible to even let his mind near them.

“Never mind…”

“You can tell me, Sam. You know that whatever you want to say to me it’s
between us, right? I won’t have to tell anyone.” ‘I don’t answer to your
father,’Bobby had thought of saying but then chose to stay silent.

For a moment Sam felt tempted to say something. As far as he was concerned, no
one had any idea what his father really was. Sam wasn’t entirely sure what to
think of him. He knew his father sometimes drank his blood, and he certainly
knew there was something supernatural about his dad, something other people
couldn’t know about, shouldn’t know. And it was his dad, and he was good to
him; Azazel loved him. Sam had to be careful about what he spoke of his dad to
others, even if Bobby did seem like someone safe…

Sam’s thoughts were cut off when someone started banging on a small door at the
back of the room.

“Who’s it?” Sam asked while looking at said door. That wasn’t the door he had
walked through before. That door probably led to a different street from the
one the limo was parked. It couldn’t be Crowley, could it?

“I don’t know. I’m not expecting anyone.” Bobby walked towards the door as Sam
watched him intently. “Who’s there?”

“Bobby, it’s me.”

Sam felt a discharge of adrenaline travel his body and stood perfectly still.

“Dean?” Bobby walked closer to the door. “What are you doing here? Go back
home, I’m busy.”

“Open up, Bobby. I know who’s there.”

Sam could swear his heart slammed loudly in his chest.

“That’s why you should go home. Come back later,” Bobby tried.

“Let him in,” Sam heard himself saying.

Bobby looked the kid in the eyes as the knock on the door came back, more
insistent this time.

“Are you sure? We have a class to study now. He can return later.”

“It’s okay, really.” Sam tried not to seem as excited as he felt.

When Bobby sighed and opened the door, Sam’s hazel eyes were able to see that
wide, provocative smile that had already smiled upon him, and the flashing
green eyes that locked on him instantly. He swallowed with some difficulty and
allowed himself to stare back.

“Does anyone know you’re here?” Bobby asked.

“No. I avoided the butler by coming in through the back.” Dean winked playfully
and Sam might have smiled, he didn’t know. He was too nervous to pay attention
to his body’s responses.

“Crowley, you mean,” Bobby said.

“Yeah. Whatever. He’s in front of the church, so I used your secret way out.”

Bobby rolled his eyes. It was true, though. Few people knew about the back
entrance to the church. Bobby had always thought that a secret way in and out
might come in hand someday. Maybe he was just paranoid, but he liked having
options. You could never know what tomorrow would bring.

“I told your father about this entrance to use in case of emergency.”

“Well, it is an emergency,” Dean smiled leeringly and walked closer to Sam.

Sam felt his breathing increase when they were standing close to each other.
Part of him had desperately wondered whether this young man, Dean, would still
have the same effect on him when they met again.

“How are you, prince?” Dean took Sam’s hand and kissed it with an amused mix of
mockery and reverence.

Sam chuckled and retreated his hand. He thought he might have blushed. Yes, the
knight from his birthday party apparently still had a strong effect on him.

Dean devoured the boy with his quick moving eyes. He drank from the shyness and
wondered at the eagerness he could see lying there, just waiting for a moment
to show itself. Prince Sam—whatever the hell he was prince of—was still
alluring, and Dean’s whole body could hardly wait to be closer to him, to let
his fingers brush over his warm skin and his tongue lavish over his soft lips.

“Dean, what is it that you want?” Bobby cut through the moment. “I have a class
to teach Sam, and you can bet your ass his butler, as you called him, will be
far from pleased if he finds out you are here right now.”

“That’s why he doesn’t need to know, right Sam?” Dean smiled and took a few
steps back, his eyes, however, were still connected to Sam’s, as if there was
hardly any distance between them.

“Right,” Sam agreed.

Bobby looked from one of the boys to the other, and something stirred inside of
him, something he couldn’t quite put his finger to yet.

“I was thinking, since Sam is here and hardly leaves home, and since it looks
like the sun is coming out, maybe I could walk him to the beach, show him some
nice spots,” Dean licked quickly at his lips and his eyes danced with unspoken
promises.

“No way in hell you’re slipping Prince Sam out of here.” Bobby frowned.

“Actually,” Sam spoke. “It does sound like a good idea,” he challenged his
teacher. “It is a nice day and I feel like going for a walk.”

Dean smiled wolfishly at that and Sam and he exchanged a long, meaningful
stare.

“Sam?” Bobby seemed outraged. “There’s no way that’s happening. You know I’m
not allowed to let you out of my sight. If your father finds out…”

“That’s why he won’t, right Bobby?” Sam begged into the older man’s eyes.

“You can’t expect me to let you go out with Dean,” Bobby sounded exasperated.
“Crowley might come in at any minute and—”

“He won’t dare,” Sam interrupted him.

“If anyone sees you outside…”

“We’ll be careful,” Dean said. “As long as they think Sam’s here it’ll be
fine.”

“No, no way!” Bobby shook his head vehemently.

“What if I order you to let me go?” Sam narrowed his eyes.

“Kid,” Bobby stepped closer to the boy and put his finger on his face. “You
might be the prince of the whole fucking world, but I swear to God you won’t
have that attitude with me, so just drop it.”

Sam smiled embarrassedly. He loved Bobby. No one would dare talk to him like
that, and yet Bobby was fearless, and he cared for him, and Sam respected him
for that.

“Please, Bobby…” Sam dropped the act and showed how much it meant for him. “You
know what it’s like for me…” Sam didn’t have to say a lot, he knew Bobby
understood exactly what he meant. His teacher knew he had no friends and no
social life. “It’s just a walk outside. I’ve never really seen the beach up
close. I’ll be back soon.”

Bobby looked intently into Sam’s eyes and could feel the moment his heart won
the battle with his reason. He would be fucked if he let Sam out and someone
found out, he would be really fucked, and ruined, and perhaps, if John
Winchester's theories had any truth to them, dead. But Bobby would be damned if
he could resist the amount of loneliness that boy carried within. There was so
little in Sam’s life that brought him joy—Bobby had known that for a while—it
broke his heart saying no to him.

“If the two of you get caught…” he started but before he could go on Sam was
hugging him.

“Thank you!”

“Let me finish!” Bobby pushed the boy away and pretended that demonstration of
affection hadn’t warmed him inside. “I mean it. If the two of you get caught,
I’ll say you ran away after tying me to a chair.”

Dean and Sam laughed.

“And if you aren’t back in a couple of hours, you know Crowley will grow
suspicious, and I won’t be able to hold him off for too long.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be back before that,” Sam reassured him.

Bobby could see the beaming smile on Dean’s face and it sent chills down his
spine. So Sam had made a friend. It was terribly ironic that it had to be the
son of his dad’s worst enemy, but Bobby understood how charming Dean Winchester
could be. Like father like son. He just hoped this friendship wouldn’t get
anyone in trouble.

“You!” Bobby walked towards Dean and grabbed his shoulder firmly. “You bring
Sam back here in time or I swear to God I’ll kick your ass all the way back to
your father’s garage.”

“I’ll take good care of him, don’t worry.” Yet, there was a teasing glint in
Dean’s eyes that caused Bobby to feel exactly the opposite of relief.

Dean walked towards Sam and took his wrist gently.

“Let’s go?”

Sam felt his heart drumming in his chest and mirrored the adventurous smile on
Dean’s face. He nodded because he couldn’t find his voice at the moment.

“Just…don’t get in trouble,” Bobby said as the two of them turned around and
left through the door. “And come back on time!”

“Don’t worry!” Bobby heard one of them say, but he didn’t really know which.
When Sam and Dean were out of his sight, he wondered how the hell he had agreed
to something so crazy, and he hoped for the sake of everyone that Dean would
keep his promise and deliver Azazel’s son to that church safe and sound in a
couple of hours.


~ * ~

Outside the door Dean led them through a narrow and dark hallway.

“This underground passage will take us to Oak street. Far away from whoever is
watching you.”

“Good,” Sam whispered, looking at the dark corridor Dean rushed him through.

They had been walking for about five minutes when Dean stopped abruptly and
pushed Sam against the wall.

“What happened?” Sam’s eyes widened. “How much more until we leave?”

“We’re almost there,” Dean said. “That’s why I stopped.”

Sam frowned. Then he felt a pair of hot lips covering his mouth and wetness
when Dean’s tongue licked his lips open. Sam’s knees buckled and he kissed back
just as passionately.

When the kiss broke they were short of breath and their panting echoed in the
stone corridor around them.

“I just had to do that before we’re out there,” Dean confessed and Sam smiled a
little.

Dean closed his eyes for a moment and tried to control his urges. The boy still
looked, smelled, and tasted like the angel he remembered. Dean could hardly
wait to discover all Sam’s secrets and make him scream and lose his mind on his
bed.

“Are we going to the beach as you said?” Sam asked tentatively.

Dean smiled appreciatively at the question.

“Of course we are. Don’t you trust me?”

Sam looked into the knowing eyes studying him and became very much aware of the
way his blood rushed to certain parts of his body he desperately needed to keep
under control.

“I do.” Sam heard himself whispering before Dean took his wrist again and led
them out of that dark corridor.

The problem was, Sam felt the warm fingers touching his skin and the kiss that
still tingled on his lips and wondered whether he could trust himself, too.

Chapter 7



Azazel sat behind his desk in his office and looked over some papers. The more
he expanded his business, the more he had to be careful with his numbers and
staff members. Running a network of hospitals wasn’t easy, but given the way he
was quickly rising to be one of the wealthiest people in America, he could be
proud that he was doing a good job with it. Of course, none of that would have
been possible if it weren’t for Lucifer and the investment he had first made in
his business. Lucifer knew what he really was, and that didn’t seem to bother
him one bit. On the contrary, the moment Lucifer had met him, he had seen in
Azazel a loyal supporter who could help him expand his profitable business of
making money off human diseases.

Money and power were Lucifer’s drugs, and since Azazel had joined him, he had
provided his boss with plenty of both, increasing their numbers to astronomic
proportions and making Lucifer the supreme emperor of hospital business across
the world. Being able to offer hope to desperate people put him in an extremely
powerful position, one Lucifer certainly enjoyed to find himself in.

Money and power. And boys. And girls. Particularly boys, though. Azazel knew
his master had peculiar tastes when it came to achieving his sexual
satisfactions. Thus, every now and then Azazel would present his sponsor with a
lovely gift. A sweet looking boy in his early teens was usually enough to
please his boss and sate his hunger. In return, Lucifer was aware of Azazel’s
visits to their blood stash, where Azazel could satehis hunger without being
too obvious about his nature.

The fact that Azazel was a vampire fascinated Lucifer more than anything else.
There had never been a spike of fear in their relationship, it was like vampire
and business director had simply connected as old best friends from the first
time they met. Lucifer had seen the potential in Azazel, an ambitious doctor
with striking yellow eyes that seemed to strive wherever he started working at.
They had similar goals in life, now more so since Azazel had introduced him to
his son, Samuel.

Lucifer knew what went on between them. Azazel had told him that vampires
sometimes liked to keep virgin teens and drink their sweet blood from time to
time. In a way, Lucifer had pointed out, Azazel and he weren’t much different
when it came to their secret preferences. Azazel, however, wouldn’t have said
anything in front of Lucifer, but he hardly saw himself as sharing the same
wicked tastes. Samuel wasn’t a sex toy for him. On the contrary, Sam’s
innocence was the sweetest, most precious thing about him, and if Azazel could,
he would make sure Samuel stayed like that for his entire life.

That was unrealistic, and Azazel knew it. Therefore, when that wasn’t possible
anymore, Azazel had promised Sam’s hand in marriage to Lucifer. Of course that
had been just a vague idea until the moment Lucifer had actually met Sam.
Azazel could then see in Lucifer’s eyes all the lustful admiration and desire
to possess the boy. Indeed, after having lived over a thousand years of his
immortal life, the vampire knew for sure there were few young men like Samuel
in the world. Hence, Azazel couldn’t have been happier that his precious Sam
had triggered Lucifer’s affection. If everything went well, perhaps in two,
maybe three years, Azazel could see himself parting with his boy and handing
him over to Lucifer’s eager care.

But those were thoughts concerning the future, and right now they didn’t bother
Azazel much.

“Excuse me, sir?”

A knock on the door pulled him out of his reverie.

“Yes?”

“The CEOs are here for the meeting. They’re waiting outside.”

“I’ll be right there, thanks.” Azazel saw the man nod and leave quickly.

In the beginning he had been feared, that was true. When Azazel first came to
Glasstown, with his impossibly yellow eyes, he knew people were tempted to
judge him and reject him. But he worked hard. Azazel worked hard on his story
and on his skills, and he kept his nature secret through all that. He had
knitted a background story with perfection, the rare condition he had, a
different kind of albinism that affected his eyes and that had caused him to be
bullied all his life. Azazel had told his sad story to the right people, and
kept a low profile when he needed to sate his hunger for blood. He had earned
the trust of the right people in town, and discredited the ones that doubted
him.

Azazel thought of John Winchester and couldn’t help the small sneering smile
that came to his lips. Of course the mechanic saw past his disguise. After what
had happened between them and what he had seen, it was no surprise that John
had connected a few dots and realized there was much, much more to Azazel than
a rare genetic condition that affected his eyes. Yet, who would pay an
unschooled mechanic any heed? Who would they listen to when it came to it? A
famous doctor with an impressive resume of important research and beaming
career, or a man who had apparently lost his sanity after the death of his wife
and went around claiming to see what no one else could?

The people in town respected him. They needed him. And no amount of crazy
theories from a middle aged, lonely man would change that.

Azazel knew that John Winchester spent his days trying to prove something. He
knew the man would dedicate his entire life to trying to prove there was
something wrong with Azazel, but he also knew there was no way he would get
what he was looking for. Azazel had John exactly where he wanted. And if things
ever got out of hand, if the stupid mechanic ever thought he could be smarter
than him and tried to screw with his plans, well, there was always the past.
The past they shared, the past that linked them inevitably. There was that, and
Azazel could rely on that.

‘They respect me. They need me’, he thought appreciatively as he adjusted the
knot in his tie and got up.

He was in for a tense meeting, that was sure. A tense, boring meeting about
numbers and real estate. But nothing a visit to his son’s bedroom at night
couldn’t change.

Azazel licked his lips and left his office.


~ * ~


They exited far enough from the church, but they were still both aware that
discretion was needed.

As promised, Dean walked with Sam a while longer until they stopped by the
beach. The sky was a deep blue, slightly darker than the water, and the waves
broke with a smooth rhythm on the white sanded vastness.

Dean looked at the boy’s face as he took in the sight.

Sam studied the movement of the waves and the white foam they created. He felt
the wind ruffle his hair and took a deep breath, until he tasted salt at the
back of his tongue.

“Is it really the first time you’ve seen the ocean?” Dean asked, curious.

“Oh, I have seen it before. We drove past here.”

“So is this right now the closest you’ve been to the beach?”

Sam looked at Dean briefly and then let his eyes return to the blue green
waters. He nodded slowly.

“Take off your shoes.”

“What?” Sam frowned when Dean started to get rid of his shoes and socks.

“Take off your shoes,” Dean repeated.

“Why?”

“C’mon!” Dean urged him until Sam ended up complying.

The younger of them took off his tennis shoes and socks, and held them with his
right hand when Dean took his left one and pulled him towards the sand.

“How does it feel?” Dean asked eagerly, watching as Sam stepped on the soft
sand for the first time in his life.

Sam had a foolish smile on his face as he felt the raspy softness of the warm
sand slide over his feet and between his toes. It felt good.

“It’s nice,” he admitted.

“Wait until you get your feet in the water then.”

“I’m not supposed to get wet.”

“It’s just your feet, c’mon.” Dean tugged at Sam’s hand and rushed with him to
the shore, where the waves washed over their bare feet leaving them with a
cold, sharp feeling of freshness.

The beach was pretty much deserted at this hour. There were a few people
walking here and there, and some brave surfers facing the icy cold water to
practice the sport.

Dean beamed when Sam chuckled and kicked around a little. He watched when the
boy bent over and let his hand dip into the water.

Sam took one of his fingers to his mouth and sucked on it.

“Salty,” he acknowledged with amusement.

Dean went closer and took Sam’s hand gently, taking the same finger to his own
lips and past them, sucking softly as his eyes locked with Sam’s.

“Indeed,” Dean said with a sultry voice and watched him.

Sam’s features changed from happy and easy going to something shaky with
anticipation. His heart beat faster and his breathing caught. He chewed on his
bottom lip and wondered why it was that whatever Dean did to him, the smallest
of things, seemed to wake up all sorts of desires in his body.

“C’mon, let’s walk around a little. I’ll show you a place by some rocks where
you can have a better view.”

“Okay,” Sam agreed, eager to slide back into a lighter mood. “I gotta be
careful of the time, though.”

“I wouldn’t dream of making you get late. Don’t worry.” Dean winked one of his
playfully flirtatious winks, the ones Sam was growing extremely fond of, and
showed Sam around a few of his favorite places.

They were sitting on the top of some rocks, appreciating the view, when Sam
checked his golden watch and realized an entire hour had already passed.

“We still got time,” Dean said when he saw him doing that.

“I know.” Sam looked into the distance and hoped with all his heart time could
move a bit slower. Never had he felt so happy. The beach, the wind on his face,
Dean’s company…the taste of salt smelled like freedom, and Sam didn’t want to
go back home.

“There’s sand all over my legs. I’ll have to wash up before putting my socks
back on,” he said casually.

“C’mon then. I live nearby.”

Dean stood up and offered his hand. Sam looked into his green eyes and
hesitated briefly. Did he want to go to Dean’s house? The man was still a
stranger, and staying away from strangers was a lesson Azazel had taught Sam
early in his life. All sorts of things might happen if he said yes. What if
Dean wanted something, something Sam couldn’t give? What if Dean was only being
nice until he got Sam somewhere he would be able to do as he pleased with him?

“Do you trust me?”Dean’s voice seemed to echo in his thoughts. Sam sighed,
accepted the hand, and got up as well.


~ * ~


Dean’s shack by the beach was a humble place. The moment Sam walked in his eyes
covered everything inside, and it didn’t take them long. It wasn’t a big home.
The only thing big and comfortable there was a bed, right in the middle of the
shack. There was a bathroom in a corner, and another smaller room where there
was some chairs, a fridge and an oven, and some cabinets where Sam supposed
Dean kept his cooking stuff. Beside the bed there was a small night dresser and
a wardrobe, and on top of it there was a large window through which Sam could
see the waves breaking from a small distance.

“It’s no mansion, you can see that,” Dean broke the ice. He had never been
ashamed of his place. He liked to keep things simple. He had everything he
needed in that shack—his bed, a place to cook a meal or two, a place to shower
and there was not much else he needed. Dean didn’t have time for TV or books.
Life was much more interesting out there, in the real world, meeting real
people. Besides, whenever there was a big storm heading their way he could
always stay in his dad’s house until it was over. He enjoyed not having a lot
of things to look after. “I like it,” Sam said, and he meant it. There was
something honest about the place. Without any luxury or fancy decoration, the
place was as raw as its owner. It seemed practical, light and inviting, and Sam
felt good there.

“I’m sure you’re used to better things, though” Dean said casually, feeling a
stab of insecurity.

“I’m tired of better things. Besides, they don’t have this view of the ocean.”
Sam smiled and Dean mirrored him.

“You can use the bathroom to wash up.”

“Thanks.”

Sam disappeared inside for a moment to do just that.

Dean checked his clock and knew they were tight on time. That was not the way
he wanted to take Sam, rushed and quickly. Yet, if that’s what they had, Dean
wouldn’t complain. His desire was buzzing in his ears, and he’d had to
concentrate all afternoon not to walk around with a hard-on.

When Sam exited the bathroom Dean walked past him and smiled. “Excuse me. My
turn.”

Sam nodded and saw the door close behind the older man.

He knew they still had some time before he had to be back, and Sam was glad
about it, but at the same time he wondered what they were going to do right
now. After all, he had agreed to go to Dean’s place, so what if he was now
expecting something else from Sam?

He took a few steps and stood before a desk in front of the bed. He turned his
back to the bed so he could look at himself in the mirror on the wall. Seeing
his reflection made everything seem more real and Sam chuckled silently. The
thought that he was now in the house of the knight he had been with in the
elevator caused his mouth to go dry.

When Dean left the bathroom without his shirt, he looked at Sam’s back as he
studied himself in a mirror. Sam saw Dean in the reflection and his heart
pounded when the man in the mirror came in his direction until his naked chest
pressed lightly against Sam’s back.

“Do you see something interesting in this mirror?” Dean whispered softly, his
lips barely grazing the boy’s neck.

Sam shut his eyes and felt the goosebumps break on his arms and thighs. Dean’s
lips and his hot breath against his neck caused his body to tighten with need.

Sam looked into his own eyes in the mirror when Dean’s lips closed over his
earlobe and he sucked softly.

“Hm,” the faintest of moans escaped Sam’s lips and the goosebumps kept coming,
wave after wave as Dean planted a hot, wet kiss to the place where his shoulder
and neck met.

The jeans Dean was wearing grew instantly tight. The small sound of want and
the smell of Sam’s skin as he breathed into his neck were driving him insane.

‘I have to go,’ Sam thought, desperately. ‘He’ll make me lose control again.’

“Maybe I…” Sam started. ‘Should go. Maybe I should go.’

Dean pressed further against him and Sam felt the bulge against his lower back.
He bit hard on his tongue but was unable to finish his sentence.

“Maybe you what? Hmm?” Dean cooed while his left hand slid beneath Sam’s shirt
and his fingers grasped at his ribcage possessively.

Sam felt his blood pool in his lower belly and rush to his dick when Dean
nipped at the back of his neck.

“Go…” Sam managed to breath out. “Maybe I should go…” He was aware of how
throaty his voice had become, how helpless he sounded, and somewhere in his
brain he was fighting a battle to escape the haze of lust he descended into.
And he fought this violent battle with another part of himself, a part that
twitched with desire when Dean’s fingertips raked over his nipple with a
feathery touch.

“Mm!” Sam moaned loudly this time and bucked, pushing the desk in front of his
body and almost smashing the mirror in the process.

Dean chuckled hotly at the reaction, his cock throbbing in response. “Does it
feel good?” Dean kissed and nipped from Sam’s neck to his shoulder, and rolled
Sam’s nipple carefully between his fingers, worrying it gently with his
fingertip until Sam squirmed.

‘I need to leave. I need to go. Dad might wanna drink tonight, my oxytocin
might not be high enough, and if he finds out…’Sam’s thoughts were lost when a
spike of pleasure traveled down his body and made him harder.

Dean retreated his hand shortly, only to lick at his fingers and coat them with
saliva, then he slipped his hand under Sam’s shirt and flicked at the tight
little nipple again, pushing himself against the boy’s back and letting his
other hand hold firmly at his hipbone.

Sam panted and shuddered. He parted his lips to protest but instead a small,
helpless little moan came, one that reminded Dean of Sam coming against his leg
in the elevator and drove him crazy with need.

In a moment, Sam was being turned around until they were face to face, and that
was when their mouths crashed together and Dean kissed him deeply, learning
every detail of Sam’s mouth and asking for so much more.

Dean’s hands were everywhere, on Sam’s hair and cheeks, on his back and hips,
but when they touched Sam’s thighs and cupped his erection, the fear of what
was happening struck through Sam’s pleasure like lightening and made him pull
away.

Sam looked into Dean’s clouded eyes. He knew what was going through the older
man’s mind now. Sam knew he wanted them to have sex. Well, Sam supposed that
agreeing to go to his house meant he would do exactly that, and for a moment he
was terrified of not being allowed to leave.

Dean saw the wide eyes staring at him with an interesting mixture of pleasure
and worry, and wondered what was going on.

“Sam?”

“I have to go. It’s getting late,” Sam spoke hurriedly. He had trusted Dean,
but what if he wasn’t who he seemed to be? What if he didn’t want to let him
go? What if he got angry?

Dean checked his watch and nodded reluctantly.

“It’s okay. Just let me get my shirt and we’ll take you back to Bobby’s
church.” ‘We’ll have more time later,’ Dean thought. He wanted it badly, and he
couldn’t pretend he wasn’t disappointed not to have it now, but part of him
knew that they deserved more time to enjoy it thoroughly.

Sam watched as Dean walked back into the bathroom allegedly to get his shirt.
What if that wasn’t what he was going to do? What if he came back with a key to
lock the door and prevent Sam from leaving? What if he forced something to
happen? Sam didn’t believe he would, but he was suddenly so terrified of what
he was doing and what might happen if his dad found out, that he turned tail
and left before Dean had a chance to see him go.

When Dean walked out of the bathroom he frowned and looked around.

“Where did he go?” He asked himself and looked through the window. He still had
time to see Sam running into the distance towards the street that would take
him back to Bobby’s church.

If Dean left now he doubted he would be able to catch up with the boy. Besides,
if he started running after someone he might end up drawing unecessary
attention to Sam. They wouldn’t have much time left anyway, so Dean decided to
let it go and talk to him when they met again.

He wondered what had happened, but he wondered briefly, because first he needed
to get Sam out of his system. He lay heavily on the bed and fisted his erection
swiftly. Dean was so aroused he knew he might have come before Sam even reached
the church.

“There you are, I was asking myself…”

“I’m fine,” Sam cut Bobby off.

Bobby frowned at the way the boy seemed out of breath. “Is everything okay?
Where’s Dean?”

“He’s fine. I told him I could come back on my own. I hardly have time to walk
by myself.”

Bobby nodded, but still studied the way the boy seemed slightly disheveled.

“Good bye, Bobby. Thank you for doing this for me. I’ll see myself out.”

“Goodbye, Sam. Take care.”

Sam smiled shortly before walking out of the classroom and the church, towards
the limo where Crowley was still parked waiting for him.

Sam’s feelings were a mess, he was hot and bothered and a little scared, but
when he sat at the back of the comfortable car on the way back home, he was
smiling nonetheless.

Chapter 8



“So, how did it go with Prince Samuel this afternoon?” Benny asked his friend.
He was sitting by the bar, sipping one of the cocktails Dean had just prepared.

“Yeah, do tell,” Cas teased too.

Dean looked at his friends briefly before lowering his eyes to the drink he was
preparing.

“Have you fucked him already? Can we move on from this whole forbidden love
thing?” Benny asked.

“Just give me a break, will you?”

“Benny, do you realize what I do?” Castiel smiled with the corner of his lips.

“Oh, I believe I do, Cas. Our Don Juan here has not yet bedded the new object
of his affection.”

Dean sighed and rolled his eyes.

“What’s taking you so long?” Castiel asked, truly curious. “I thought you had
said he was into you, too.”

“He is,” Dean said quickly, but then felt a twinge of insecurity. “I suppose he
is. I mean, he did come with me to the beach even though he wasn’t allowed to.
That tells you something, right?”

Benny and Castiel shrugged and nodded.

“We didn’t have enough time,” Dean explained. “He had to go back before that
watchdog of his realized he wasn’t studying anymore, so I guess he didn’t want
to rush things either.”

“It’s been like what? Over two weeks since you met him? And you still haven’t
fucked him?” Benny grinned.

Dean knew his friend was deliberately trying to annoy him, but instead of
annoying him, the conversation only made his heart beat faster and ache with
the desire to see Sam again.

“Oh, fuck off,” Dean mumbled.

“Hey, it’s fine. We’re just interested in the way you’re interested, that’s
all,” Benny said.

“Yes, Dean. We’re rooting for you. Even if we think this is the stupidest idea
you’ve ever had, we’re all the way in this with you now. Besides, we have a
bet.”

Benny laughed and punched Castiel lightly. “You were not supposed to say that.”

“Spare me your damn bets.” Dean shook his head lightly and smiled. But the
thing was, unlike what his friends said, it wasn’t an idea. It was not like he
had everything planned and Sam was some kind of trophy he really wanted. Well,
he did really want Sam, but it was more than that. Had it been just a whim Dean
would’ve certainly been able to sleep with other people as he pursued Sam.

Yet, it didn’t matter that it had been days since he had first kissed Sam. Dean
wanted him so much, and the boy filled his thoughts to such an intense point,
that he didn’t want to waste his time sleeping around. He wanted Sam. And by
now Dean wanted him so much that he doubted one single fuck would take the edge
off, he would need more.

“Get out you two. Go dance or whatever. I got work to do.”

Dean watched as his friends chuckled some more and walked away from the bar,
leaving him to his drinks and tips and thoughts of Sam.


~ * ~


 Sam woke up on his bed with a piercing pain on the crook of his arm. His eyes
darted open and he sucked his breath. His thoughts raced with confusion for a
couple of seconds and he tried to retreat his arm. That was when Azazel laid a
calming hand on top of his chest and made him stay.

“Dad?” Sam looked into his father’s yellow eyes and the mouth attached to his
arm, drawing his blood.

Azazel didn’t say anything. He was too busy sinking his teeth into tender flesh
and letting the taste of Sam’s blood fill his mouth. No other hot blooded
creature had ever tasted this good, he thought.

Sam waited until his dad was done and released his arm. He hadn’t expected to
be awakened in the middle of the night, but then again, it wasn’t as if that
had never happened before.

“Sorry I woke you, prince. I got home late from work, but when I walked in here
and saw your sleeping face, I just couldn’t resist it. You looked angelic in
your sleep.”

Sam pulled his arm towards his body and nodded lightly. “It’s okay, Dad.”

“How was your class today?”

“Good.” Sam felt his heart race as he remembered the afternoon in Dean’s
company.

“Yeah? What did Bobby teach you this time?”

“Chemistry,” Sam said casually. “Chemical reactions. We’ve been going over this
subject for some time now.”

“That’s good. You’re gonna need a lot of chemistry when you take over my
business someday.”

If Lucifer was the king of the world, and he wanted to marry Sam in the near
future, it was fair to say the boy was indeed a prince who would someday be
responsible for the medical empire Azazel had helped create.

Calling Samuel a prince was a reminder of how powerful he was in this town and
in this country. If he was a ruler, then his son was his heir. Besides, Azazel
beamed with joy when others referred to Samuel as prince. It helped maintain
the alluring appeal the boy had always had to him.

Of course, his business and what it meant wasn’t the only reason why he
referred to Samuel as prince. There was a much more ancient and deep reason why
Samuel was special, why he was royalty. So far, however, that was something
Azazel liked to keep for himself.

“Can I go to class more often, then? Can I go every day?” Sam tried.

Azazel looked deeply into his son’s eyes, as if trying to read behind his
innocent request. “Every day is a bit too much. You have other things to do at
home. Look at all these books you make me buy for you; there’s plenty to study
in here as well.”

“I know, but I like going to Bobby’s. And I’m good, Dad. You know I am. I won’t
do anything wrong,” ‘I hope not’ Sam thought and a small shudder traveled his
body. He didn’t mean to do anything wrong, he certainly hoped he could resist.
Yet, Sam was recklessly infatuated with being in Dean’s company, and even
though he knew the kind of feelings the older man elicited in him—how dangerous
they were to his control—Sam couldn’t help himself. For the first time in his
life he actually felt alive, even though the fear of losing control and letting
Dean take his virginity was paralyzing. If anything actually happened between
them, Sam had no idea what would happen to him, what his dad would do to him.
Or worse, to Dean.

If it were anything like what he did when he caught Sam pleasuring himself for
the first time…

Sam swallowed hard and urged the thought away.

“I know, Samuel. I can taste it, remember? You wouldn’t like to disappoint me,
would you?”

“Of course not,” Sam felt the cold shudder travel him again.

Azazel pondered for a moment.

“You can go to Bobby’s three times a week. Will that please you?”

Not what Sam had in mind, but he would take what he got.

“Thank you, Dad.”

“Business is doing great, son. But that also means I might have to be absent
more often to deal with meetings and deals. I’m trusting you to do what you
have to, but please don’t make me regret it.”

Sam nodded, his heart tight. He didn’t want to disappoint his dad, but he felt
so good with Dean…

“It’s not like I could anyway. I’m constantly watched.”

Azazel heard the twinge of annoyance in Sam’s voice and frowned.

“Crowley and the others are with you to help you. You should see them as a
support to remind you of the right path, and not a burden.”

Sam sighed. He knew that it was a pointless discussion, and he didn’t want to
continue with it and make his dad suspicious, so he just agreed.

“Right, Dad.”

Azazel smiled and ran his fingers through the boy’s hair.

“Now go back to sleep. I’ll see you in the morning.”

Sam watched as Azazel got up and left.

Not a minute later, one of the servants was inside the room, taking a chair by
the corner to watch over his sleep. It was Crowley’s night off, but Sam knew he
would be coming back in a few hours to be there when Sam got up. Azazel seemed
to trust no one but Crowley during his morning routine.

Sam paid the servant no heed. He stared at the ceiling and let his thoughts run
wild for a moment.

He knew he was flirting with a dangerous desire, the one to see Dean again, but
the truth was that Sam knew very little about the handsome stranger, and what
he did know was that their daddies were enemies.

Sam didn’t have a TV in his home, and he spent most of his days reading books
and writing, and eventually, when he got too lonely, he would engage in
conversation with some of the women in the kitchen. Sam had never spent too
much time talking to them because they were always gossiping about the people
in town, and since Sam didn’t really know anyone outside the mansion, he had
never really taken an interest in the stories they told.

Yet, a thought occurred to him now that unlike himself, Dean was used to the
world outside those walls, and he knew places in town, and there was a chance
that if he went into the kitchen and probed a little, Sam might find out a bit
more about the green-eyed knight who had stolen his heart.

After making a mental note to look into that in the morning, Sam could finally
relax and drift back into unconsciousness.


~ * ~


The next morning, Sam woke up on his own, one hour before the usual time
Crowley opened the drapes and let the sunlight in. As he stretched and yawned
lazily, last night’s thoughts came to him and caused his heart to race.

Sam pushed the heavy, soft blanket off his body and waited as Crowley came
closer to take a good look at him.

“No dreams?”

“None that you should know about,” Sam mumbled and waited impatiently.

Crowley let his eyes linger for a bit longer before nodding.

“All right. Off you go. You have clothes waiting in the shower.”

Sam went to the bathroom but didn’t close the door. He knew he was not allowed
to. He also knew he had a few minutes to himself before Crowley or someone
walked in on him.

Sam turned on the shower and got under it. He did everything quickly so he
could go downstairs and into the kitchen. Crowley never followed him down to
the kitchen because the place was always bustling with servants, and if Sam was
looking for privacy that would be the last place to go to.

“Morning, prince.”

“Morning,” Sam replied politely to Mrs. Higgs, the older woman who was in
charge of the kitchen.

“Hey there, Sam.”

“Hey, Meg.” Sam watched her with some interest when he sat down.

As Meg went on to lay his breakfast before him—fruit, milk, toast, honey, and
whole grain cereal—Sam looked around at his dad’s employees.

Most of them had been working in the mansion since Sam was a kid. Meg was the
daughter of one his dad’s loyal servants, and she was only a couple of years
older than Sam. When they were really little, Azazel sometimes let them play
together. Yet, when Sam turned ten years old, the friendship between them had
been suspended without an explanation. When Sam thought about it, a lot had
changed when he turned ten years old. The beginning of the blood feeding, for
example.

The thing was, Sam liked Meg, even though they hardly talked outside the
kitchen and during the mornings. After some time they just didn’t have anything
else in common, and were as much strangers as Sam was with anyone else who
worked there.

Except that Meg had never really gotten the whole royalty air that surrounded
Sam. She said the right words, but the proper reverence was never quite there.
Sam thought she couldn’t help it. Meg had always been kind of a free spirit,
and Sam believed it was hard for her to see him, someone she shared toys and
childhood songs with, as this prince everyone else pampered.

It didn’t bother Sam. It never did. He still thought Meg was funny, and he
sometimes listened to her long rants about her life and other people’s lives
when he was bored.

Today Sam wasn’t bored. Today Sam was eager and curious to find out more about
Dean, and he knew Meg could help him. She went outside every day, and she
looked like someone who enjoyed having fun. Sam had heard stories, stories that
would have made his dad very angry if he found out Meg bragged about her sex
and drug adventures in front of his innocent son.

The problem was that he couldn’t be obvious about it. There was no way Sam
wanted to raise the slightest suspicion that he and Dean were friends, or that
he was even aware of his existence. The less everyone knew, the better. So Sam
started to think of what he could say to get any kind of information. Meg was
chatty and would be eager to go on about anything, the problem was figuring out
what to ask her.

Sam picked up a few grapes and tried to act as disinterested as he could.

“So…we drove by the beach yesterday after class.”

“Really? Was it full of people?” Mrs. Higgs asked politely.

Sam shrugged. “Not really. Is it ever? I mean, I’ve never actually been there
so…”

“Oh, it’s full. But mainly at night,” Meg smiled a randy smile and winked.

Sam’s heart picked up speed at that. “Really? At night? Why do people go to the
beach when it’s night?”

“There are parties there from Wednesday to Sunday. The best ones are on Friday
night, though.”

“Why? Is the music better?” Sam probed with a calmly planned tone of voice.

“Oh, no, dear…” Meg leaned against the kitchen table as Sam popped a grape into
his mouth. “That has less to do with music and more to do with drinks.”

Sam smiled lightly and watched as Meg went back to the sink where she was
washing some dishes. After a while, Sam thought the conversation had ended, and
was about to say something else when Meg went on.

“Of course people are much more interested in barman than in any of the
drinks,” she grinned. “My God, what a man.”

“Meg…” Mrs. Higgs called her attention lightly. The truth was, the older woman
was only barely paying attention as she chopped her vegetables, and Sam didn’t
think her hearing was that good anymore. The fact that Meg was giggling and
acting all cheerful was probably what made her call Meg out, regardless of what
they were talking about.

“Is that so?” Sam chuckled and brought a glass of orange juice to his lips.

“Oh yeah. Dean is the hottest attraction on the beach.”

Sam swallowed down the juice as if it were a square piece of wood. It burned
down his throat and he went absolutely still for five seconds so he could
regain his composure. His heart was beating wildly.

“Who?” He managed to ask when he was sure his voice was under control.

“Dean Winchester. The mechanic’s son.”

“The one Daddy doesn’t like?” Sam pretended to be completely unaware.

“Exactly. Now, I don’t know about his dad or anything, but Sam…what a handsome
son this man has put in the world.”

Meg sighed dreamily and put away a few dishes. Mrs. Higgs left the kitchen for
a moment and the other employees seemed too busy to care about their
conversation.

“So people go there to see him?”

“No, people go there to fuck him,” Meg chuckled and turned around to look at
Sam.

“Oh.” Sam felt his heart slamming in his chest.

“I should probably not be telling you this.” Meg went closer and leaned on the
table so Sam and her were face to face. Then she lowered her voice. “But he’s
the best sex I’ve ever had.”

Sam felt as if there was a windstorm inside his chest traveling everywhere, but
he was unable to decide whether the stinging winds were scorching hot or icy
cold.

“You slept with him,” he said slowly.

Meg laughed. “Sam, there’s a reason why you’re not told stuff like this, but
outside this walls, everyone has slept with him. Dean is the hottest guy this
town has ever seen, and a fantastic lover. I swear that having him touch you is
like dying and going to heaven, and I don’t even believe in heaven.”

Sam licked at his lips.

“Everyone?”

Meg chuckled again. “Well, everyone who was lucky enough to. I still wish I
could sleep with him again, but he’s always busy, if you know what I mean.”

Meg looked around to make sure Mrs. Higgs was not coming back, then she
crouched before Sam and her eyes lit up with mischief. For a moment there was
so much complicity between them that it felt like they had never been separated
at all.

“I can’t explain it, but he’s just amazing in bed. It’s probably all the girls
and guys he’s been with. I don’t know what happens, but I’ve had straight
friends fall head over heels in love with him. It’s probably the way he touches
you; he’s such a generous lover. My God, his fingers on your skin…” Meg shut
her eyes as if she could feel it again. “And his tongue when he kisses you all
over and licks you…and also the way he whispers in your ear as he covers your
body with his silky smooth one…”

“Meg, go back to work.” Mrs. Higgs walked into the kitchen.

Sam was hardly breathing by now. His dick was hard and he put his hands on his
lap to disguise it.

“He’s experienced, then,” he said lightly, almost to himself, as Meg got up and
grinned.

“Experienced? He’s a sex god.”

“Meg, are you having improper conversation with Samuel?” The older woman
frowned.

“Of course not, Mrs. Higgs. Sam was teaching me about the Roman and Greek gods.
You know, some stuff he learned yesterday in class.”

“Oh,” she seemed pleased about it. “How was class yesterday, Prince Samuel?”
She asked sweetly.

“Good. I…thanks for breakfast.”

“But you haven’t eaten anything.”

“I’ll come back later. I just remembered something I have to do,” Sam excused
himself and left the kitchen quickly, his thoughts rushing in his head and
arousal pooling in his lower belly.

Sam went outside and sat by the front stairs, watching the many people go about
their tasks in the yard. Sam saw them, but it was almost as if he didn’t. The
conversation with Meg had been much more than he anticipated.

A sex god?

So Dean Winchester had had many partners.

He was a good lover, an amazing lover, according to Meg. Because Meg had been
with him, she had felt his naked body on top of hers.

Sam felt a hot spark of jealously that didn’t last long. His thoughts kept
going back to the fact that Dean was so experienced whereas Sam was still a
virgin. And worse than that, he had to remain a virgin for his own sake.

Everything Sam knew about sex, and that wasn’t much, he had learned from the
pocket book novels he sometimes stole from Bobby’s bookcase when he knew the
older man wasn’t looking. Sam had never had any sort of education on the
matter, and everything he knew was through the fictional lives of some female
characters he had read about. Based on that, he had an idea of how sex was
performed between two males, but just the thought of that caused him to blush.

Dean was experienced. He was a great lover. Yes, Sam could imagine that. His
fingers, his tongue, his whispered words…the elevator…Dean sure knew what he
was doing, and that made everything more dangerous.

What would happen when Dean realized the truth about him? Would they stop
meeting? Would Dean laugh at his condition?

Sam felt mortified.

Yet, the thought of one moment of those green eyes looking deeply into his, of
that alluring smile and the soft way in which Dean kissed him, and Sam’s heart
seemed to melt with liquid joy.

Dean was not only the son of his father’s foe, he was also a famous lover in
town, and that was one more reason for Sam to stay away.

There was too much at risk in getting involved with him.

Sam took a deep breath and chewed on his bottom lip. He wondered when he would
be able to see Dean again.

     Thank you so much for the amazing beta-ing you've been doing,
     Vershiel! <3
 
Chapter 9



Bobby was going over some old manuscripts when he heard the knock on the door.
He sighed and looked up from what he was doing. There were only two people
besides himself that knew about that door. Three with Sam now, but Bobby
doubted it was the boy.

“Come in, Dean.”

Dean walked into the room and looked around. He knew Sam wasn’t there, but it
was still disappointing. “You really should lock that door,” Dean teased.

“I was going to, but then I remembered no one is supposed to know about it, let
alone use it.”

“C’mon, Bobby. You know it’d be weird if anyone saw me, of all people, walking
into a church.”

Bobby knew Dean Winchester was often seen as trouble. He had an irresistible
charisma and Bobby knew that most of the youngsters in the city had already
been to his shack by the beach. Yet, Bobby had known Dean since he was a kid,
and he knew he had a good heart. There was no way Bobby could help the
affection he felt for John’s son.

“Perhaps you should come to church more often then.”

“I’ll pass. No hot chicks in here.”

Bobby rolled his eyes and lay his hands flat on his desk.

“As you can see, he’s not here.”

Dean walked in closer, his face no longer playful.

“When will he be here?”

“Why should I tell you?”

Bobby and Dean stared at each other for a moment. Eventually, Dean pulled at a
chair and used it to sit across from Bobby.

“When we went out last time I took him to the beach. Did you know that Sam had
never been to the beach before? He told me he knew it existed, and had seen it
from the car, but he had never put his feet in the water, never felt the sand
between his toes or the wind on his face.”

Bobby’s heart responded to that. The truth about Sam’s life stirred feelings
both disturbing and compassionate, and he didn’t know exactly what to say.

“How come, Bobby?” Dean insisted. “The kid’s lived here all his life and he’s
never been there. Don’t you think that’s a little weird?”

“Dean, Sam ain’t like you or Benny or Cas.”

“I know that. He’s got the devil as a father.”

“You don’t know that. No one does. As far as we’re concerned, Azazel has done
more for this city in the years he’s been here than anyone else since it was
founded.”

“Do you really believe that shit? That he’s some sort of savior?”

“It doesn’t matter what I believe,” Bobby said, and for a moment he could see
John staring at him through Dean’s eyes, and talking to him through his son’s
lips. “It doesn’t change anything.”

“I’m not here to talk about his father, though.” Dean shrugged that topic off.
“You should’ve seen his face when I took him up the rocks and he could see the
view. Don’t you want him to do something like that again?”

“I told you, it’s risky. If anyone sees the two of you walking around together,
if any of Azazel’s servants see that…”

“They won’t,” Dean interrupted. “We’ll be careful. Nothing happened last time,
right?”

Bobby took a deep breath and for a moment wondered what it was that had drawn
the two boys together. Again there was a thought in the back of his mind, one
that Bobby pushed away quickly. Friendship, he told himself. Sam finally had a
friend, and it wasn’t surprising that he had fallen under Dean’s spell. The
question was, what exactly was in it for Dean? Why was he so attracted to Sam?

Bobby supposed he was curious, and for his own sake he didn’t ask further.

“Wednesday,” Bobby caved. “He’ll be here in two days. At least that’s what I
expect. Sometimes he can’t come and I don’t find out until it’s too late.”

“Thank you, Bobby. I’ll be here,” Dean grinned a beaming smile.

“Dean?” Bobby spoke before Dean reached the door to exit.

“Yeah?”

“You’re not gonna hurt this boy, are you?” Bobby himself didn’t know exactly
why he asked that.

“Of course I won’t,” Dean said and realized that just the idea of hurting Sam
caused something to ache in him. No, he would not hurt the boy. And if
everything went according to his plans, Dean would do exactly the opposite the
next time they were together. Dean would take Sam to heaven.


~ * ~


The next time Crowley dropped him off by the church and Sam walked into the
classroom with Bobby, he wouldn’t lie that his heart was racing.

Sam looked around the classroom as if expecting to see Dean there, and it
wasn’t lost on Bobby the way the kid’s eyes seemed restless.

“So, Sam… what is it gonna be today? Math? History?”

Sam licked at his lips nervously. He couldn’t concentrate on his studies if his
life depended on it, but he didn’t want to upset Bobby.

“I…I don’t really know…” Sam started, and when the knock came on the door his
heart might have skipped a beat and his face lit up.

Sam and Bobby exchanged a meaningful look.

The door was locked, so who ever was on the other side needed to be invited in.

“I can tell him to go away if you want me to,” Bobby whispered, so Dean
wouldn’t be able to hear them. “Just let me know and I can say you’re not here
if you’re uncomfortable.” Bobby wondered why he was saying that. Perhaps part
of him hoped Sam would agree and ask Bobby to send Dean away, and that would
have been a relief, even if it did spike a certain sadness too.

Nevertheless, as Bobby expected, Sam shook his head quickly and nodded at the
door. “Please, let him in.”

Bobby sighed and complied. He opened the door and Dean slipped inside the room.

Sam looked at Dean’s piercing smile and held his breath. ‘He’s a sex god,’ Meg
had said. Sam felt nervous that something in his attitude would give his
thoughts away.

“Hey, Sam.” Dean walked closer to him and touched his arm lightly.

“Hey,” Sam swallowed hard.

“Do you wanna go for a walk?”

Sam looked at Bobby with a question in his eyes.

“You know the drill. No one can see you, and you need to be back in two hours,
tops.”

Sam nodded and the next thing he knew he was being led through the dark
corridor under the church by Dean once again.


~ * ~


When they stepped outside into the warm day, Dean’s heart raced with the
prospect of being together. There were a few clouds in the sky, and it looked
like it might rain.

Dean studied the clouds for a moment before he spoke. “Do you mind if we stop
by my place so I can get my jacket?”

“No,” Sam answered quickly, and it was only when Dean smiled a deliciously
provocative smile that Sam wondered whether his older companion was really
looking for a jacket or if he simply wanted to get them both back in his beach
cabin where they would be alone. Sam felt his fingers grow cold with a tight
mix of anxiety and excitement.

Of course Dean didn’t want a jacket. He wanted the two hours they could finally
have for themselves and enjoy it. He was shaking inside with anticipation as
they approached his shack. Never had Dean wanted someone so bad, and the
thought that he would be taking Sam this afternoon made him dizzy with delight.

Yet, before that happened, Dean needed to make sure they were both on the same
page, so the moment they walked in and he closed the door, he pushed Sam
against the wall gently and looked intently into his eyes.

“So…” He begun, his eyes gazing at the soft parted lips before his face. “Last
time you were here you left in a hurry. What happened?”

Sam blinked a few times and heard the drumming of his heart. Dean smelled
really good, and Sam had difficulty finding his words.

“It was getting late,” he managed to say.

“I know. And I would’ve walked you back.”

Sam looked away, nervous. Then he felt the light touch of a hand on his cheek
that made him look into Dean’s expecting eyes.

“Does it bother you being so close to me?” Dean wanted to know. Of course he
knew the way the boy responded to his touch, but he needed to hear it from him.

“No…” Sam said quickly.

“Do you like it when I touch you?” Dean asked softly, his fingers going to the
back of Sam’s neck where he stroked the skin.

‘His fingers on your skin…’ Sam felt a tremor in his belly.

Dean’s fingers tangled in Sam’s hair and pulled lightly, and when Sam tilted
his head back and his lips parted, Dean licked into the boy’s open mouth. 
Then, he captured Sam’s bottom lip between his own and sucked on it.

When the kiss broke, Sam had goosebumps as if the temperature outside his body
had suddenly dropped, but inside his body there was a fire starting.

“Hm? Do you?” Dean licked at Sam’s exposed neck and let his body press further
into the boy’s, and when Dean’s lips closed on the curve where his neck became
his shoulder, and Dean let his tongue lavish and explore, Sam squirmed into him
and moaned.

Dean’s cock hardened the moment that happened. Sam had absolutely no control
over his body’s reaction, and that was fucking mind blowing.

“I…I do…” Sam confessed sheepishly. ‘But…’ there were a thousand buts in his
head now. ‘I can’t, I…’ Sam knew he had to actually say the words out loud, but
when he felt Dean’s thigh between his legs and the hard feeling of a bulge
rubbing against his erection, he closed his mouth tightly so as not to cry out.

“Then let me touch you, Sammy.” Dean’s hands went underneath the boy’s shirt
and his fingers pressed into his ribcage possessively. Dean could feel the
goosebumps and the shudders when he let his thumbs flick over tight little
nipples.

‘I can’t…oh god…how do I stop this?’ Sam wanted to cry. He felt so good and so
desperate that he didn’t know what to do. He needed it to stop; he couldn’t let
anything happen! But how? How to stop that? He had never felt so good…

Dean found two cold hands and squeezed them between his larger ones. Then he
took Sam’s hands under his own shirt and placed the boy’s palms flat against
his chest. Sam felt the hardness under his fingertips and the heat coming off
Dean’s skin.

“I…I should—” Sam was cut off when Dean kissed him again, this time more
passionately. Sam’s eyes fell shut as Dean’s tongue worked inside his mouth and
his hands roamed over his chest and back. Sam’s hands were still exactly where
Dean had placed them, on his chest, as if that was the only thing keeping him
from falling.

Sam was throbbing in his pants. The feeling of arousal was powerful, and he
understood why he wasn’t allowed to feel it, ever. He couldn’t hold on to any
rational thought when Dean’s hands grabbed him by the hips and pulled him
closer, increasing the friction.

“Mmm.” Sam thought he was going to burn. Or die. Or both.

Yet, when Dean’s hand went for his buckle to try and slip inside, a red alarm
flared in his mind and Sam blinked his eyes open quickly, laying a hand on top
of Dean’s to still his movements.

Dean was breathless. He smiled a smile full of lust and promise, and before Sam
had a chance to say anything he was led away from the wall and pushed down onto
the large bed beneath the window.

The moment Sam found himself lying on his back, he tensed and fear started to
interfere with pleasure. He saw Dean climbing slowly on top of him, only
pausing a moment to slip his shirt off over his head.

Sam’s eyes were clouded. He licked at his lips when he saw Dean, now half
naked, cover him like a blanket and settle between his legs.

‘Dad will kill me! He’ll hate me, he'll...’Sam thought desperately of his
father and his rules, but when Dean’s mouth was once again on his neck—a
surprisingly powerful weakness—he moaned and arched up involuntarily.

“God, I’m gonna make you feel so good…”

Dean thrust his clothed hips into Sam’s and the boy panted deliciously loud.

Dean licked his lips and narrowed his eyes as he appreciated the sight. Then,
eager as he was to go on with it, he reached out his arm, opened the first
drawer on the night stand and picked up two things he always had in there.

Sam’s eyes followed it when Dean put a condom and something else on top of the
dresser. Sam knew what the condom was for—he had seen one before in Meg’s
stuff,— but not the other thing. His heart raced and this time fear left a
metallic taste in his mouth. He looked intently at the other thing until he
read the label. It was lubricant, and even if Sam knew very little about sex,
he had a good imagination.

Suddenly things became too real and the piercing feeling of dread was able to
cut through the haze of arousal.

“I…I’ve never…Dean, I never…” That was not how he had planned to tell him,
lying underneath his hot body, his dick hard and pressing against his stomach
inside his jeans, and under the thorough stare of Dean’s desire-clouded eyes.

“You’ve never been with a man?” Dean couldn’t say that surprised him.

Sam shook his head quickly, glad for the help.

“No problem. I’ll be very gentle, okay? We’ll go slow.”

‘No, he doesn’t get it,’ Sam thought, and now despair was rising in him, but
because his despair was so coated with sexual need, Dean had trouble
identifying it.

“I…” Sam forced himself to say something. When he realized the situation he was
in, and who Dean really was—a sex god—Sam felt mortified and his cheeks, that
were already flushed with pleasure, became even redder with shame. “Dean…”

Dean narrowed his eyes and studied Sam’s face carefully. He could feel his
hardness pressing against his own, and he knew the boy was completely turned on
by what they were doing. Yet, Dean finally saw the distress struggling with
Sam’s need and something occurred to him.

“Sam? Have you been with a girl before?” He stopped in the middle of everything
and waited for an answer.

Sam felt his throat constrict with hot embarrassment. He wanted to speak, but
for a moment he was afraid his lips were too quivery to form words. He shook
his head and looked away from the knowing eyes.

“No. Not really.”

“Oh.” Dean sat back on his heels and gave Sam some space. The boy cowered away
immediately, and Dean thought he would disappear into the headboard if he
could. Now that changed things. Knowing Sam was a virgin made Dean hold back
and think. Not that it was a shock, but it was unlikely, at least from his
perspective. With Sam’s looks and wealth, it was hard to imagine he hadn’t
already bedded at least a few girls. “Hey, that’s okay…” Dean spoke when he
realized how uneasy Sam had become. The boy looked at him with huge eyes and a
startled attitude.

Sam’s breathing was erratic as a result of both his arousal and shame.

“How far have you taken it with a girl?” Dean asked, suddenly really curious.

“What do you mean?”

Dean shrugged. “Oh, you know…you’re sixteen, so have you ever gotten a blowjob
or a handjob? Have you seen a girl naked in front of you?”

Sam shook his head and Dean’s heart picked up the rhythm. It was like he knew
what the answer to his next question would be before he even asked it. “You
have kissed a few girls, though, haven’t you?”

Sam wanted to die with shame. He pulled his knees up and started biting on his
fingernails, his eyes looking from Dean’s to the sheets, and reluctantly back
to Dean.

“I’ve never kissed a girl. I never really kissed anyone until…you know, in the
elevator.”

Even though Dean had sort of expected it, it didn’t make the answer any less
impactful. Dean exhaled heavily and looked at Sam as if he had before him a
piece of a puzzle that completely befuddled and amazed him.

Sam looked around worriedly and little by little the urgency went away and
instead gave room to insecurity and embarrassment. The words Meg had said kept
playing in his mind over and over about Dean being a wonderful lover, about him
having sex with everyone in town, about how amazing he was in bed…Sam could
only imagine what that handsome and experienced guy was now thinking about him,
and there was a knot in his throat so tight that it was difficult to swallow.

The truth was, Dean didn’t know what to think. He had been the first of many
straight men, but normally he would avoid virgins without any experience. He
associated sex with fun and pleasure, and the responsibility and expectations
of a first time weren’t exactly the seasoning he liked to add to the act.

However, as he looked at Sam’s discomfort right now, as all he wanted to do was
pull him in his arms and tell him that it would be okay, Dean realized that
something was different this time. And it terrified him so much that he was as
much at loss as Sam about it.

“Hey,” he came out of his stupor first. “That’s okay. Come here.”

Sam didn’t know what Dean meant, but when he was pulled into his arms and
hugged, he let himself go and buried his nose against Dean’s neck. The embrace
was comforting but Sam’s shame was still burning hotly. He took the opportunity
to hide his face gladly, and wished the hug would last for a long time.

When Sam felt Dean breaking it, he looked down at his hands and the fistfuls of
sheets he had grasped between his fingers.

“Why didn’t you tell me before?”

Sam shrugged.

“I like you…” he ended up saying. “I like being with you; I like it when you
touch me.”

Dean understood quickly how damned he truly was. Knowing Sam was a virgin had
failed miserably to push him away. The realization that the boy in his bed was
indeed an angel, sweet and innocent, never before touched, made some part of
Dean’s soul growl with a hunger he didn’t recognize. ‘He’ll be mine. No one
else’s.’ Dean shuddered with the strength of this thought. He understood that
Sam’s innocence had, against all odds, fueled his desire even more, and the
thought of being inside him soared through Dean’s need like fire. Yet, at the
same time that Sam’s revelation aroused an untamed rush of lust, it also made
him soft and tender, because he didn’t want to hurt the boy. Dean wanted to
ravish him, yes, he wanted to be the first person, the only one to make Sam
come undone. But when he did it, when Sam shattered with a pleasure he wouldn’t
be able to comprehend, then Dean wanted to collect him in his arms and do it
all over again. And again. For the rest of his days.

“Are you like…angry with me?” Sam frowned.

Dean chuckled with genuine joy.

“Why would I be?”

“Because you know, we didn’t…”

“Of course not. Look, you like to touch me and I definitely like to touch you,
too.” Dean framed Sam’s face between his hands and kissed his lips. He let
their noses touch and their eyes lock. “What if we take this slowly, then?
Would you like that?”

Sam’s eyes seemed troubled. Dean didn’t understand, of course he didn’t. It
wasn’t just that Sam was inexperienced. Samcould not have any sort of
experience.

“What if I can’t do it? At all?” Sam’s eyes had a depth Dean couldn’t have
understood at the time.

“Don’t be silly. Of course you can do it.”

Sam shook his head a little.

“Why couldn’t you?”

Sam’s answer was to stare intently at Dean.

“Are you afraid?”

Sam thought of the day his dad had caught him touching himself and the
aftermath of that. He also thought of what might happen if Azazel found out
what he was thinking about doing, and with whom. Sam shuddered. He was afraid.

“Maybe,” he answered.

“Do you trust me?”

“I don’t really know you that well.”

Dean laughed at the answer. It was true. Sam was a smart kid.

“Right, but do you want to see me again?”

“Do you want to see me? Even if I can’t…do something more?”

“Of course I do. We’ll go slowly, as I said, okay? You’ll see that you can do
it.” Dean would do whatever he had to do to ease Sam into it. He didn’t care
how long it took, the feeling of being inside that boy and making him cry out
in his arms would be worth it.

Sam didn’t feel like correcting Dean again. It was not like he could tell him
the reason behind his fear. Sam knew that if they kept meeting then Dean would
eventually realize something was wrong with him. But until then, until Dean
decided it wasn’t worth his time anymore, and definitely before Sam had to
explain too much, the younger one chose to let himself enjoy a few more walks
and a few more kisses.

It seemed harmless.

“Do you want to walk around the beach before you go back to the church?”

“Yes, please.”

“Ok. I’ll get my jacket, it’s in the bathroom. Will you still be here when I
come back?”

Sam smiled what Dean could only describe as the cutest embarrassed smile he had
ever seen.

“I will.”

“Good.”

Sam watched Dean get up and disappear inside the bathroom. For a sex god, Dean
seemed delightfully merciful.

Chapter Notes
     Thank you so much for beta-ing, Vershiel!
     Also, you've been warned before, but this is a reminder that the
     story contains disturbing triggers of abuse.
 



Chapter 10


Crowley got off the phone and looked at the church. Sam’s class wouldn’t be
over for another half an hour or so, but his daddy wanted him home as soon as
possible. Something must have come up, but Crowley didn’t really care about it.

He left the car to do his job and walked inside Bobby Singer’s church. Crowley
looked around at the images of saints and Jesus on a cross and made a face.
He’d never been much of a religious person. On the contrary, places like that
made him feel intimidated. There was something about the holiness of all that
that caused Crowley to feel sick.

He couldn’t wait to get Sam and get the hell out of there.


~ * ~


Bobby was sitting behind his desk, leafing through an old manuscript, when
someone knocked on the door. He looked at the door through which Sam and Dean
had left over an hour ago, and his heart sunk when he realized that was not
where the sound was coming from.

“Yes?” Bobby asked, looking around with a hint of panic in his attitude.

“It’s Crowley. Sam needs to go. His dad called.”

‘Shit,’ Bobby thought. ‘Fuck me, I knew this would happen,’ he cursed mentally
and his heart raced.

“Sorry, Crowley. Sam’s in the middle of an important assessment. Come back in
fifteen minutes,” he tried.

On the other side Crowley frowned and tried to open the door.

“Bobby? Why is it locked?”

“To prevent people like you from interrupting our class.” Bobby looked around
worriedly at the back door, as if he could bring Sam and Dean back with the
power of his mind alone.

“Sam?” Crowley asked. “Sam, are you there?”

“Dammit”, Bobby whispered. What could he do? How long before Crowley decided
something was wrong and started to tear down the door? How long before he
called Azazel?

“Told you, Crowley. The kid’s busy; let him think.”

Crowley felt something in the pit of his stomach, and it wasn’t something good.
He could smell a rat, and he tried the door again, more urgently this time.

“Prince? Your dad called, he wants you home now. You hear me? You’d better come
out here or I’ll be forced to break down this door.”

The moment Bobby saw Sam walk into the classroom through the back door he
nearly screamed with relief.

“What’s going on?” Sam mouthed softly, looking at the door. He could hear the
way Crowley was knocking insistently on it.

Dean watched the scene with worried eyes, and because Bobby was also agitated,
he failed to see the way Dean’s fingers still held on to Sam’s behind the boy’s
back.

“Your father called. He wants you back home. I told Crowley you’re in the
middle of an important assignment that can’t be interrupted but he's already
threatened to break down the door.”

Sam nodded quickly and turned around to look into Dean’s eyes.

“You should go,” he said, and put a hand on Dean’s chest.

Dean didn’t need to be told twice. He looked at Sam one last time and
disappeared through the same door they had used minutes before.

“Sam?! If you don’t open the door right now I’ll be forced to think you’reno
longer in there…”

Sam opened the door and stared at Crowley with a stern face. Crowley seemed
immediately surprised and a lot less distressed.

“You heard Bobby. I was concentrated on my task. Couldn’t you wait a few more
minutes?” he sounded deeply displeased.

“I’m sorry, Prince.” Crowley lowered his eyes. “But your dad has called. He
told me to pick you up and take you home.”

“I heard that. A few minutes wouldn’t have made a difference, though. You
distressed me during my studies because of a few minutes. I doubt my father
would be pleased about it.” Sam narrowed his eyes with a subtle threat.

Crowley looked into Bobby’s eyes, past Sam, and saw the priest casting an
annoyed look at him.

“I’m sorry, Prince…”

“You should apologize to Bobby as well. It’s his door you were threatening to
destroy.” Sam’s heart was galloping in his heart. He could hardly believe his
luck. A few more minutes and Crowley would have found out that he wasn’t where
he was supposed to, and then all hell would break loose.

Bobby tilted his head and smiled with the corner of his lips. Crowley hated him
for that smug little grin.

“I’m sorry, Bobby. I thought Sam…”

“What? Wasn’t here? Are you crazy? Do you think I can make people disappear out
of thin air?” Bobby was glad the door in the back of the classroom looked just
like the wall where it was, and would need a careful observer to be spotted.

“I…” Crowley began.

“Never mind. I hope this doesn’t happen again. Let’s go. Dad’s waiting.”

Sam walked past Crowley and out of the classroom, causing his dad’s servant to
turn around as well to follow him outside.

Before Sam left, though, he looked one last time at Bobby, who was still inside
his classroom, and they shared a silent look that spoke volumes in seconds.


~ * ~


Back in the mansion, Sam’s thoughts were still rushing after the intense
emotions he had experienced during the day, but little did he know that there
was more to come before it was over.

“You’re to take a shower and put this on. Your father will be waiting in his
office.”

Sam looked at the silver robe Crowley pushed on his hands and then at the
shower. He was relieved he hadn’t lost control with Dean, because that silver
robe gave him an idea of what his dad wanted tonight.

When Sam finished getting clean, he turned off the water and stepped out of the
shower. Crowley was standing by the door, watching him.

Sam dried himself off and then went over the silky silver robe, lifting it and
looking around the bathroom.

“You forgot to bring me some underwear,” he said.

“No, I didn’t,” Crowley replied.

Sam swallowed hard and wished he hadn’t said anything. He felt ashamed, but it
was a different shame from what he had experienced earlier in Dean’s bed. That
one had been heated; this time, though, his embarrassment was coated with
anger.

“C’mon. I’ll take you there.”

Sam left the bathroom in absolute silence, and walked ahead of Crowley towards
his dad’s office. He stood perfectly still by the door when Crowley knocked.

“Oh, Samuel,” Azazel smiled widely. “There you are. Come in. Thank you,
Crowley.”

Sam heard the door be shut behind his back, leaving Crowley outside. It was
only after a few seconds, though, that he realized he wasn’t alone with his
dad.

Sam’s eyes fell on the other man standing by a bookshelf near a window whose
blinders were now shut. The suited man looked at him and smiled in a way that
made Sam wish he could just turn around and leave.

“Dad…” Sam began, and his mouth was dry.

“That’s okay, Sam. That’s my friend, Emerick. He lives in Germany but he’s
visiting for a few days.”

Sam looked at his dad with growing uneasiness. He understood immediately the
meaning behind the man’s smile. Sam knew the way the stranger was looking at
him; he had seen that hunger in his dad’s eyes enough times to be familiar with
it by now.

So far, Azazel had hardly ever shared him with anyone. There had been
people—creatures like his dad—who had begged him for a taste of his son, and
Azazel had let them try him. But never like this, never like Sam was a meal who
had arrived right on time.

“Lovely,” the man said slowly and took a few steps closer. “Your son is
absolutely lovely.”

Sam could hear the heavy accent behind the man’s words and his heart thudded
when the man reached out his arm. The stranger tried to touch his face but Sam
recoiled. The man’s smile widened patiently and his eyes beamed with the kind
of red lust Sam was used to.

“Sam, it’s alright. Emerick and I will be with you for a while, then you can go
to sleep. I told him how precious you are to me, how sweet you are, my prince.
He grew so curious to meet you I just had to bring you over.”

‘Let me out of here,’ Sam thought, and for a moment he desperately wished he
was back in Dean’s beach cabin, where none of this could happen to him.

“You can take this off now. Let’s please our guest.”

Azazel tugged at the belt around Sam’s waist but Sam’s hand clutched the fabric
tightly around his body, clearly unwilling to expose himself.

“Sam?” Azazel’s voice was stern, and his yellow eyes burned into Sam’s.

Sam was still holding the robe tightly against his naked skin, and he imagined
he was shaking a little. He knew vampires could smell fear, and judging by the
way his dad’s friend licked at his lips, Sam supposed he was anticipating the
moment with great joy.

“Dad, no…please…” Sam looked into his dad’s eyes, begging him not to do this.
“Just…just you…” Sam swallowed hard.

“It’s okay, Sam. You can trust Emerick. He won’t hurt you. I wouldn’t let him,
you know that. Now do as I say and take this off for a moment.”

Emerick narrowed his eyes and they flickered darker at the boy’s hesitance.

Azazel tugged more urgently at Sam’s robe, trying to pull it open.

“Dad, please, I don’t want to…” Sam knew his voice sounded small and frail, but
he didn’t care.

Azazel stopped abruptly and placed a hand at the back of Sam’s neck.

“Are you going to disappoint me, Samuel?”

Sam’s lips moved but nothing came out at first. He shook his head.

“Do you want me to be angry?”

“No…” Sam blurted.

“Don’t you love me?”

“I do…” Sam replied obediently.

“Then let me take this off.”

Sam let his arms hang beside his body as his dad undressed him. The silver robe
pooled by Sam’s feet and the boy shuddered under the lascivious gaze of the two
men.

Emerick got closer and let a hand cup Sam’s cheek.

“Hm,” Sam stepped backwards instinctively.

“Shh…Don’t worry, liebling…”

Sam’s breath was erratic and he shut his eyes when a pair of cold hands roamed
over his body.

It wasn’t long before Sam felt the man’s beard brush against his neck and the
sting of his teeth sinking into his flesh. Sam cried softly. He listened to the
wet noises as the man drank from him, and Sam hoped it would be over soon.

He then opened his eyes and looked for his dad in the room. Azazel’s eyes were
clouded with pleasure as he watched the scene. There was nothing safe about
that look, so Sam closed his eyes again.

Sam didn’t know how long it had been until he felt his dad tug at his wrist. He
realized that the German man had stopped feeding.

“Come here,” Azazel instructed gently.

He sat on a comfortable armchair and pulled Sam onto his lap. The boy was still
extremely self-conscious of his nakedness and of the way he was being stared
at, so he kept his eyes closed as much as he could.

He hated the way being on his dad’s lap exposed him to the hungry eyes watching
him now. Sam could feel the staring as if it burned through his closed eyelids.

Sam’s skin crawled when a pair of strong hands caressed his thighs. His eyes
darted open and he could see the man in the black suit crouched between his
legs. There was a white flash of shining teeth a moment before they sank into
his skin and started drinking again.

There was no time to recover, because soon Azazel’s mouth was closing on his
neck again, and the two men fed on him at the same time.

They were drinking hard and fast, and within a few minutes Sam began to feel
less ashamed and more sleepy. There was something in the saliva of vampires
that, combined with the amount of blood they drained, had a sedative effect on
his brain.

Sam had no idea how long the whole thing lasted. At some point after he lost
consciousness, he was dressed in his robe again and taken to his bedroom, where
he was carefully laid on the bed, under Crowley’s watch.


~ * ~


In his dream, Sam was back in Dean’s shack, but he didn’t know it was a dream.

If he stretched his neck, he could see the large window over the bed, but
because Sam was lying on it the beach seemed to be upside down.

Sam saw the waves breaking in the distance, breaking in the sky, and for some
reason that was funny and he laughed.

He looked at the bed again when Dean moved. He was climbing on top of Sam and
he was naked.

Sam was happy, but he knew something was wrong. That was not supposed to
happen.

“What’s wrong?” Dean asked.

“You’re a sex god. I have to go.”

“You’re an angel, remember? You can stay.”

Sam smiled at that, and he felt as if he was floating when Dean kissed him.
Everything was perfect and good, but when Dean pulled away there was panic in
his eyes.

“What happened?” Sam frowned.

“You’re bleeding. You’re bleeding all over.”

Sam looked around himself and to his horror he realized it was true. There was
blood soaking the sheets, warm blood, pouring from everywhere in his body.

Sam sat up in bed and moved away from Dean. He opened his mouth but there was
only blood running over his tongue and past his lips.

“I’ll help you. Just let me get my jacket.”

Sam watched as Dean got up from the bed and headed towards the bathroom.

“Will you still be here when I come back?”

Sam nodded quickly. The moment Dean was gone, however, Sam got up as well and
went after him. He walked towards a closed door and opened it, and when he did
he could feel the heat of the fire licking at his skin.

“NO!” Sam screamed. “Dean! The house is on fire, get out! Please!!! Come out of
there!!” Sam knew he would get burned, but he stuck his arms deep into the wall
of flame trying to grab Dean and pull him out.

“Sam?” There was a voice behind his back.

“I gotta save him!”

“Sam, come here.”

Sam turned around and saw his dad looking at him. Sam knew he would be so angry
that Sam was in that shed, but right now he needed to save Dean.

“Sam, let it go. Come here.”

Sam turned around reluctantly, and when he did so he looked at himself and
realized he no longer had his hands.

He raised his eyes questioningly.

“They’re gone, Sam. You left them in the fire,” Azazel said as he looked at
Sam’s arms and the absence of his hands.

Sam felt helpless and terrified.

“I need to do something! Help me! Help me find him! I promise I’ll be good.”

“Sam, you’re bleeding again.”

Sam looked at his wrists and there was blood coming out. He felt desperate now.
He needed his hands so he could help Dean! He needed to stop all that blood and
all that fire…

“Dad?” Sam looked in his dad’s direction and saw Azazel on his hands and knees,
licking at a puddle of his blood like he was a cat drinking milk.

Sam’s breathing grew loud and labored.

“You taste so sweet…”

“No….No!”


Crowley’s attention was drawn quickly the moment he heard the heavy panting
coming from the bed. He frowned at first, because it was unusual that Sam had
any dreams after being fed on. The boy usually slept through the entire night
without moving. Yet, as Crowley walked closer to the bed, he could clearly hear
the panting and moaning.

If Sam was having a sex dream, then it was Crowley’s job to interrupt that
before the inevitable end. He stood beside the bed and shook Sam lightly.

“Sam? Prince? Wake up.”

“Mm,” Sam moaned and writhed.

“Up. C’mon. Wake up.” Crowley shook him lightly by the shoulders until Sam’s
eyes opened into small slits.

The kid was panting.

Sam swallowed hard and looked around. There was a faint layer of sweat on his
neck, and his hazel eyes were now wide and frightened.

‘Maybe it wasn’t a wet dream,’ Crowley thought the moment he saw how upset Sam
seemed.

Sam was panting and moaning faintly, yes, but the look in his eyes was far from
aroused.

“Prince, were you having a nightmare or…?” Crowley pulled the blanket and the
sheets off Sam’s body in order to look at him.

“Leave me alone!” Sam groaned and tried to snatch the covers back. “Just leave
me alone, Crowley!”

There was no visible erection under the sheets. Sam was so mad and distressed
that Crowley obeyed him instantly, watching as Sam curled into a ball beneath
the blankets which he pulled up to his chin.

“Prince…” Crowley didn’t know what to say when he heard the small sound of
weeping. Nightmare. Definitely nightmare.

Sam didn’t have many of those, and the last time one happened he had been just
a little boy, but Crowley understood now that whatever Sam had been dreaming
about, it was far from pleasant.

“Go away…” Sam whispered and pressed his nose into the pillow to muffle the
tears.

Crowley looked around the bedroom, not sure how to react. He spotted Sam’s
teddy bear lying on the floor by the bed, probably after having been kicked off
the bed during the boy’s nightmare.

Crowley picked it up and put it beside Sam’s pillow gently.

Sam opened his eyes before pulling the teddy under the covers and against his
chest quickly. Then, he turned around, shut his eyes tightly and took a deep,
shivery breath.

Crowley watched everything as he made his way back to the armchair in the
corner. He knew he was feeling sorry for the kid and he couldn’t help it.

Crowley sat down and heard soft whimpering for a moment longer before the boy
fell asleep again, and not for the first time since he had taken the job,
Crowley felt his heart breaking for the boy he was in charge of watching.

Chapter 11


When Sam woke up the following morning, Crowley was not in his room. He looked
at the armchair the moment he opened his eyes and frowned when saw it empty.
Sam shut his eyes and was about to drift back into sleep when he sensed someone
staring at him. His eyes quickly darted open again.

“Dad.”

“Morning, Samuel.”

Now that explained why Crowley wasn’t in his room.

“Did you sleep well?”

Sam looked into his dad’s eyes and thoughts from the previous night filled his
mind, inevitably.

He shrugged and nodded lightly.

“Crowley told me you might have had a nightmare.”

Sam resented Crowley and his loyal honesty. Couldn’t Sam have anything private
about his life? Yes, he had had a chilling nightmare, and no, he didn’t want to
talk about it.

“I don’t remember anything,” he lied.

“He said you seemed troubled.”

“I don’t know what I dreamed,” Sam insisted.

“Well, I suppose it’s better like that, isn’t it?”

Sam nodded with agreement.

“Is your friend still here?” Sam asked, and he could taste the same metallic
flavor, albeit faintly, in his mouth. He grew tense at the thought of running
into that man in his house again.

“Emerick is on his way to Germany now.”

Sam couldn’t hide the wave of relief that washed over him after hearing that.

“You were a good boy last night. I’m proud of you.”

Sam couldn’t look his father in the eyes, and Azazel noticed that.

“Samuel?” He lifted his chin.

“You forced me last night.” Sam gritted his teeth and his eyes were burning
with feelings.

“Emerick is not just any friend of mine. I’ve known him for longer than you can
imagine, and he’s been helpful in ways you couldn’t understand. Remember what I
taught you about offering the best you have when a good friend visits you?
You’re the best I have, dear.”

Sam looked at the sheet over his body and his forehead was still creased with a
frown.

“Were you scared?” Azazel asked softly.

Scared, yes. And angry, and ashamed, too.

“Yeah…” Sam finally said.

“I’m sorry, baby. I didn’t mean for him to scare you. Come here.” Azazel pulled
Sam into his arms and held him close.

Sam hugged back, not sure how he felt anymore. He was still mad, but it was his
dad, and his dad loved him, so Sam couldn’t really blame him, right?

Right?

“Will there be more times like that?” Sam broke the embrace and asked.

Azazel considered for a moment.

“You have to be prepared. No one knows what the future holds. You have to trust
me that I’ll keep you safe, though.”

“I don’t like it,” Sam blurted.

“Samuel. You need to learn that life is not all about the things we like to do;
it’s also about the things we must do. You’re my son and I love and protect
you, I make sure you have everything you need. All I ask for is obedience and
trust.”

Sam took a deep breath and nodded.

“Besides, Emerick had a really good time last night. I’m here to thank you. He
didn’t even mind your shyness. On the contrary. He was very pleased with you.
You probably don’t remember much of the night, but Emerick was very careful
when he fed.”

Sam felt something hot closing his throat. He was drowning with shame again. He
just wanted that conversation to be over; he just wanted to pretend nothing had
happened the previous night.

“So I just dropped by before work to give you this.”

Sam watched as his dad got something from the floor and put it on the bed, on
top of Sam’s legs.

“What is it?” Sam asked, looking at the gift box.

“It’s for you. Go ahead, open it.”

Sam did as he was told. It wasn’t the first time in his life his dad bought him
a present when he thought Sam was upset over something. He remembered the day
he got his entire collection of ‘Treasures of the World’, a series of history
books that had him hooked. It was right after he was caught being naughty, when
he was twelve, and his dad got really, really disappointed…

Sam pushed the thought away quickly. He looked at the golden hardcover of a
shining new chemistry book and smiled lightly.

“Do you like it?”

“I do. Thank you, Dad.”

“You’re welcome.” Azazel leaned over and kissed the boy’s forehead. “Just keep
being this sweet boy you are.”

Sam ran a hand over the cover, letting his fingers trace the letters of the
title.

“I have to go now. Have a good day.”

Sam felt another kiss right at the corner of his mouth and then watched as his
father left.

When Crowley went back inside the boy’s room, Samuel had an empty expression as
he held the book in his hands.

“I see you got a present,” Crowley smiled and tried to cheer him up.

Sam raised unreadable eyes to him before he carefully put the book back in the
box and beside his bed, on the floor.

“I’m going to sleep some more,” Sam said before adjusting in bed and pulling
the blanket over his shoulders.

Dean was lying in bed watching TV when they arrived.

The door was open, so Castiel and Benny just walked into the shack carrying the
takeout food and beer they had agreed on getting for the night.

“What took you guys so long? I’m starving,” Dean complained as his friends
started to get boxes out of brown paper bags.

“You’re always starving,” Castiel pointed out.

“They messed up our order, we had to wait until they fixed it,” Benny
explained.

“Just get in here already. The movie will begin soon.”

Benny and Castiel joined Dean on the bed and passed the food and beer around.
For the first twenty minutes of the movie they were too busy eating to talk
about anything, but the moment their stomachs grew full and their hunger was
sated, they began to talk despite the action movie going on TV.

“So how was it yesterday? Did the boy come here?” Benny asked.

Dean knew his friends were curious about it. And he wanted to fill them in on
what happened, but at the same time he was unwilling to share too many details
of something he himself didn’t quite understand yet.

“Yeah, he did.”

Castiel and Benny both looked expectantly at him, but Dean didn’t go on.

“Let me guess, the sex was not as good as you imagined it’d be?” Benny asked.
“Told ya this would happen. You put the kid on some sort of pedestal and then
realized he was just another flawed human. Been there, done that,” he sighed.

“No, he didn’t fuck him,” Castiel said and narrowed his eyes to study Dean
intently. “Isn’t that so?”

Dean looked at Cas and then at the TV.

“We didn’t do it,” he agreed.

“No way.” Benny shook his head. “What was it this time? You had him here, you
said you were gonna make sure you had enough time…what happened?”

Dean saw the way his friends looked at him, the movie completely ignored by
now.

“He’s a virgin,” Dean confessed.

“So what? Cas here was a virgin, too, and yet you deflowered him on this very
bed.”

“Shut up!” Castiel knew he had just blushed a dark shade of pink and his heart
raced. It was true that Dean and he had been in bed together, but that was two
years ago, one drunken and horny night, and for the sake of their friendship
they had never crossed the line again.

Dean smiled enigmatically with the corner of his mouth and shook his head as if
pushing the memory away.

“No. Sam has no experience with guys or girls. He confessed that the first time
he kissed someone was at his party. In the elevator. With me.”

“Ohhh.” Benny arched his eyebrows and drank from his beer.

“Dean, that’s…that’s huge. And it makes sense,” Castiel said. “If Sam hardly
ever leaves his house, then it’s not that difficult to imagine he never got
close enough to anyone.”

“I know. I just…he’s sixteen, you know. I didn’t expect him to be so…innocent,”
Dean admitted.

“So is this over?” Benny asked.

Dean looked at his friends and drank from his beer. It should be over,
shouldn’t it? The impact that being the boy’s first could have in Sam’s life
was huge, and not the kind of responsibility Dean looked forward to. Yet, Dean
couldn’t, for the life of him, let go of the mental image of undressing Sam,
and making him scream with pleasure, and licking every inch of him, and then
locking him in his arms so he couldn’t go away. Like, ever.

“It isn’t,” Castiel answered. He could tell something was going on in Dean’s
head now, and whatever it was it didn’t involve giving up on the boy.

“But you don’t like virgins. I mean, I’ve seen you turn down the hottest chicks
just because they hadn’t been with anyone else before,” Benny pointed out. “You
said you don’t want that weight on your shoulders.”

“You said they tend to fall in love easily and you can’t bear to break their
hearts,” Castiel added.

“I know. I know I said all that, alright? It’s just…I want to see him again.
And I don’t care if it takes forever for us to have sex. I can wait. Sam is…”
Dean felt his heartbeats pick up, as if the conversation had grown suddenly way
too interesting. “I like him.”

“Are you sure you don’t want him bad just because you can’t have him?” Benny
asked. “You know, what with him being Azazel’s son and all that forbidden shit.
Maybe some part of you thinks that by screwing the son of your dad’s enemy you
can get some kind of payback.”

“No, man.” Dean shook his head. “Sam isn’t some trophy fuck. I mean, I want
him, damn, I want him so much my balls ache like I’ve been kicked in the nuts
when I touch him and can’t have more. But it’s more than that.”

“What do you think it is?” Castiel asked softly, his eyes looking into Dean’s,
searching for something.

Dean’s heart seemed to have an answer for that, but his lips wouldn’t voice it.
Not yet.

“Just give me some time to figure it out, okay? I like being with him, and I
wanna see him again.”

“You gotta be careful, man,” Benny said. “Just because you’ve been lucky so far
it doesn’t mean something bad can’t happen.”

“He’s right,” Castiel agreed. “Whatever you need to figure out, just make sure
Azazel isn’t aware of it.”

“Yeah, thanks for the advice.”

The three fell silent and went back to watching the movie and drinking their
beers. It was well past midnight when the movie ended. There was a half moon on
the sky, and some of the stars were visible from the window above the bed.

Benny got up first and said goodbye to the others. He had to work early in the
morning and couldn’t stay up so late on a weekday. He had already been caught
sleeping on the job and didn’t want to risk going through that again.

Castiel said he would stay a bit longer, and when they were alone, Dean and he
opened two more beers.

“What do you wanna tell me?” Dean asked, knowingly.

“Why do you say that?” Castiel asked innocently, but he smiled with
acknowledgment. Dean really did know him well, but that wasn’t a one sided
privilege.

“C’mon. Just spit it out.”

“I wasn’t going to say anything.”

“Yes, you were.”

Castiel took a deep breath, drank some beer and shrugged. “Fine.”

“There you go,” Dean chuckled.

“I think you need to be careful.”

“You guys have said that already.”

“It’s not just that Azazel is rich and powerful. I…I felt something when I was
in his house.”

“What did you feel?”

Castiel shrugged, not sure what to say.

“It was just a feeling… I don’t know, Dean. Your dad has always said that
Azazel isn’t what he seems, that he’s some kind of monster, you know.
Supernatural stuff.”

“I know. Do you believe this?”

“I don’t know. But there was something going on in that house. I can’t put my
finger to it, but something’s up, and it definitely involves Sam.”

“Do you think he’s dangerous?” Dean’s lips parted with amused disbelief.

“Probably not. But since we don’t know what the hell goes on in that family,
just promise me you’ll be extra careful, okay?”

“Of course, Cas.”

“Good. I have to go, too. See you in the morning.”

“See you.” Dean watched as Castiel finished his beer and left the cabin.

Dean wasn’t a fool. He knew he had to be careful. But there was no way he could
turn his back on what was happening. He was already too deep into this, and he
didn’t want to let it go.

There was something in Sam’s eyes, something so physically strong that it had
captured Dean, heart and soul, and that made him want to see him again and
touch him again and make sure he was safe and happy.

Dean had never felt that for anyone before.

He lay down in bed and stared at the sky.

It wasn’t a bad feeling. Not at all.

John was cleaning his rifle after having hung his kill in the back of the
salvage yard. It was evening now and the night was coming soon. He was alone
when he heard the noise of someone walking past the gates and towards him.

“We’re closed,” he said, without turning around.

“I’m not here for a tune up.”

“Bobby?” John turned around quickly, the weapon forgotten in his hands.

The two men looked at each other for a moment that seemed to last forever.
Eventually, though, John went back to his rifle and listened as Bobby
approached him.

“It’s been a while since you’ve last come here,” John said.

“You know why.”

“I do,” John admitted. “I also know that nothing has changed. So why are you
here now?”

“Dammit, John. Invite me in, give me some whiskey, will you? Where are your
manners?”

John looked into Bobby’s eyes and studied him. He shook his head, arched his
eyebrows and sighed.

“Come on in, then.” John got up with the rifle in one hand and walked into his
home with Bobby Singer.

Bobby watched as John let the rifle rest against a wall and walked into the
kitchen. His friend picked two glasses and poured them both a generous dose of
whiskey. Bobby appreciated the fact that John still remembered his favorite.

The thing was, they hadn’t spoken for years, and there was a reason for that.
They had been close in the past, but the past was carved with secrets, and some
of these secrets had pushed them apart.

The two men sat in John’s living room and drank quietly for a moment.

There was not a trace of the sun in the sky when John looked longingly into his
glass before saying something.

“So, what brings you here?”

“You say nothing has changed. That’s not true. Something has.” Bobby watched
John for his reaction.

“I’ve no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Your son. I’m talking about Dean. And Sam. And their friendship.”

John’s lips tightened and he held the glass with more pressure in his hand.

“There’s no such thing as a friendship. I told Dean to stay away from that
kid.”

“Yeah, but you forgot Dean is no longer a kid, and he can do whatever he wants.
And apparently, he wants to hang out with Azazel’s boy.”

John’s face changed into something unreadable. Bobby could tell there were many
emotions going through him right now, and although he could guess some of them,
most remained hidden in the depths of John’s mind.

“If Azazel finds out…” John began.

“I’m covering up for them. They know it’s risky.”

“Well, you shouldn’t. If anyone hears about it, you’re going down for this,
too,” John warned.

“They’re kids…they like each other’s company. You know,” Bobby went on. “maybe
this isn’t such a bad thing…”

“Of course it’s a bad thing,” John cut him off.

“Sam could use a friend.”

“I don’t care what he could or not use.” John got up and paced around the
living room.

Bobby followed him and stared at John’s back for a moment.

“John?” He put a hand on his friend’s shoulder. “You know that’s not true. You
don’t mean that.”

“Bobby, you need to leave,” John turned around and his dark eyes were straying.

“Maybe it’s time you talk to him.”

“Get out. Bobby, just…get out of my house. Please. Go.”

Bobby sighed with frustration. He knew John was suffering, but he also knew his
friend was too stubborn to admit it.

“It’s been so long, maybe…”

“Will I have to fucking kick you out?” John sounded exasperated.

“Nope,” Bobby clicked his tongue and shook his head sadly. “I’ll show myself
out.”

“Thank you.”

Some wounds didn’t seem to get better with time, Bobby thought.

Inside the house, alone, John held the whiskey glass in one hand and stared at
the wall. He stared until his vision became blurry, and when he blinked and the
tears rolled down his cheeks, he ran his other hand over his face in silence.

Chapter 12


The next time Sam left his home and went to Bobby’s church, he was aware there
would be no class, and so was his teacher. The moment he arrived in the
classroom, Dean knocked on the door and they left together.

Bobby knew it was risky, and something told him they were bound to get caught.
Yet, there was hardly any resistance left in him when he understood how much
both Sam and Dean looked forward to these moments. Not for the first time Bobby
was tempted to add two and two and wonder about the nature of this attraction,
but once again, even as he saw the two youngsters leave together, he refrained
from delving into such thoughts.

The less he knew the better.

Bobby sighed and looked at the shut door, hoping Crowley would not come
knocking on it anytime soon.


~ * ~


“Where are we going?” Sam asked.

“It’s a surprise. You’ll see.”

Sam stopped on his tracks and when Dean looked at him he saw wide open,
suspicious eyes staring back at him. Sam seemed a bit odd today, but it was
something so subtle that it was only vaguely there. He seemed slightly quiet
and hesitant, but before Dean could question him about it there would be one of
those radiant smiles that lit up his eyes and the older guy just assumed
everything was okay.

“Where are we going?” Sam asked again, and this time Dean heard the twinge of
fear in his voice.

“Hey…relax, alright?” Dean touched his arm. “Is something wrong?”

Sam thought of the silver robe and his dad’s hands exposing him to a stranger
in his office. He thought briefly of how he was sat on his dad’s lap as both
men fed on him and forced the thought away immediately.

“No.”

It really felt as if a shadow had darkened Sam’s eyes for a second or two, and
Dean stepped closer.

“It’s fine.” Sam felt happy in Dean’s company, but the fear of the unknown
grabbed at his heart for a moment. He didn’t think Dean could possibly hurt
him, but then again, his dad wasn’t supposed to hurt him either, and yet…

“Since you’d never been to the beach before, I started wondering what else you
haven’t done yet,” Dean said and watched Sam’s reaction. “I thought we could go
to that amusement park near the shore. Would you like that?”

Sam relaxed and a smile returned to his face.

“Yeah. I’ve seen it from the car before but I’ve never been there. I would like
that.”

“Cool. Just…” Dean looked into his jacket pocket for a few items. “There’ll be
people there. More than at the beach. I don’t want them to recognize you. Not
that they will since you hardly go out, but we’d better be safe. How about you
put these on?”

Sam looked at the pair of sunglasses and the baseball cap Dean offered him. He
chuckled and picked up the things.

Dean watched as Sam put on the glasses and the cap.

“How do I look?” he asked.

“Still look like an angel to me,” Dean’s voice dropped just a little and he
leaned in for a kiss.

Sam’s heart raced when their lips touched. For a small moment he felt the
softness of Dean’s lips on his and he shut his eyes to enjoy the feeling.

“Let’s go?”

Sam nodded and followed him.


~ * ~


The park was unlike any place Sam had ever been to. There were a lot of people
there, except it wasn’t like one of the parties his dad was used to throwing at
the mansion. None of those people seemed to pay him any attention. As Sam
walked beside Dean, he could feel a few looks in their direction, but they were
mainly girls looking at Dean with evident appreciation. The fact that those
girls were interested in Dean, and that Dean chose to spend his time beside Sam
was enough to make the younger boy’s heart race erratically every now and then.

Sam looked at the many rides and all sorts of food people were buying. The
sound of laughter and screaming filled the air, and Sam could hardly believe
how much fun people could actually have on any normal day if they simply chose
to.

There was nothing remotely similar to the thrill the park offered in Sam’s
life.

Except for being with Dean.

“Are you hungry?” Dean asked.

“Not really…”

“I had to skip lunch. Mind if I eat some hot dogs?”

“Of course not.” Sam went with Dean to the nearest vendor and saw him pay for
two hot dogs with plenty of mustard and ketchup.

“Wanna bite?” Dean offered him one.

“Thanks.” Sam shook his head and smiled.

“Don’t you like hot dogs?” Dean chuckled.

“I haven’t…I haven’t tried them, honestly.”

“No shit!” Dean seemed genuinely surprised. “Then go ahead, have some,” he
insisted.

“I really shouldn’t…it’s not good for your body, you know. Maybe I’ll get an
orange juice. Do you think they might sell some fruit here?”

Dean swallowed down his first large bite and stared at the boy in front of him.

“What’s your favorite food?” he asked.

Sam looked at Dean for a moment before shrugging. “I don’t know… I had some
goat cheese salad for lunch. I like that. I also like Japanese food. What?” Sam
frowned at the look on Dean’s face.

“Dude, you seriously need to start eating better.”

“But I only eat fresh fruit and vegetables, and try to restrict my diet to
white meat. I avoid fried things and sugar because I was told they are bad for
you.”

Dean felt something tighten in his chest. It was just a conversation about
food, but it felt like glimpsing through a window and into Sam’s most private
secrets.

“Have a bite. C’mon. And I’m buying you some ice cream, too.”

“I… I shouldn’t really…” Sam tried, but Dean was almost pushing the hot dog
against his lips. Sam took a deep breath and complied. He took a bite and
started chewing.

“So?” Dean asked, expectantly.

“Not bad…although it is very greasy and there’s probably way too much sodium in
this.”

“What?”

Sam laughed at Dean’s confused face.

“I’ll have to take you to my favorite burger place some day. You ain’t lived
until you’ve tried one of those.”

“Aren’t you afraid all this junk food will get you killed?”

“What’s life worth living for if we don’t take some risks, eh?” Dean shot back
and winked, causing Sam’s heart to flutter. “C’mon. Ice cream.”

“But you’re still eating!”

Dean finished the hot dogs amazingly fast. Sam was surprised at how quickly the
pair of buns disappeared into Dean’s mouth. They were soon in front of another
kiosk, this time to get ice cream.

“I would ask what your favorite flavor is, but something tells me I won’t
really get an answer,” Dean said.

Sam didn’t say anything.

“So I’ll get you one of my favorites. And next time we’re going to have pie.”

Sam watched as Dean got them two ice cream cones.

“Here.” Dean handed Sam one. “Try it.”

“What is this one?”

“It’s vanilla. You know, I thought it was fitting.” Dean chuckled but Sam only
looked puzzled. “Go ahead.”

Sam looked hesitant for a moment but he complied. He licked at the icy cold
cream and closed his eyes when it filled his mouth.

“So?” Dean asked before sinking his mouth into his chocolate one.

“Not bad. I like this.”

Dean laughed, pleased. “Good! Try mine.”

Sam had a go at the chocolate ice cream and was very excited about the taste.

“There’s so much sugar in this that it should be illegal, but I like it,” he
confessed.

Dean laughed and watched Sam eat his ice cream with clear joy in his face. It
felt good knowing he was making Sam happy. Even if it was with something as
silly as an ice cream cone.

When they walked past a shooting range, Dean stopped and paid money to have a
chance.

“Can you shoot?” Sam asked, still licking at his ice cream.

“Not as well as my dad, but he taught me when I was growing up. We used to go
hunting together.”

Sam watched as Dean fired against several targets of different sizes. He got
every shot right, including the last one on the smallest target.

“Congratulations, sir! You can choose your prize,” the man from across the
counter told him.

Dean beamed at his success, then he looked at the prizes and looked at Sam. The
image of Sam sleeping with a teddy bear invaded his mind and Dean chose a
fluffy stuffed dog.

“Thank you,” he said when the man handed him the toy.

Sam had finished his ice cream by now.

“Here. It’s for you.”

Sam looked at the stuffed dog Dean offered him before raising questioning eyes
to him.

“Why? It’s okay. We should give it to a child.”

“I thought you liked teddy bears…I mean, when I went into your room I saw you
sleeping with one.”

“Oh.” Sam knew he was blushing because he could feel his cheeks grow warm. Of
course Dean had seen that, hadn’t he? “It’s not…not like that…” Sam felt
ashamed and suddenly the teddy bear in his hands seemed to burn his skin. He
would have dropped it if Dean hadn’t taken it back.

The older one could see the distress in Sam’s attitude and he knew something
had caused him to feel uneasy. Dean then acted quickly to try and move past
that.

“That’s okay then. Hey, look! There’s a little girl there. You think she’ll
like it?”

Sam barely had time to reply. In a second Dean was walking past him and towards
a little girl dressed in a blue dress and pink ribbon in her hair.

“Excuse me. Do you like my friend here?” Dean showed her the toy. “I won this
at shooting range, but I don’t think I’ll be keeping it. Do you want it?”

The girl’s eyes lit up as she looked at the toy. Then, as if she remembered
something important, she searched for her parents eyes and waited for their
approval. When her mom nodded and smiled, she accepted the toy and held it
tightly.

“Thank the nice man, Susan.”

“Thank you, sir.”

“You’re welcome.”

Dean smiled and watched the girl and her mom go away.

“That was nice,” Sam said from behind him.

“Do you wanna try one of these rides?” Dean asked, still trying to make Sam
feel comfortable after the awkward little moment. “I mean, nothing too radical
since I’ve just eaten, but you know…”

Sam looked around until his eyes focused on something that caused him to smile.
“Yeah,” he said. “There’s something I want to try.”


~ * ~

Dean didn’t move a single muscle. His hands held on to the metal bar until his
knuckles turned white, and he didn’t even breathe too hard for fear of feeling
the cart move more than it should.

“This is awesome! I bet we can see the entire beach from up there.” Sam beamed
as he took off his cap and the sunglasses.

Of course he had chosen the ferris wheel. The one ride Dean was terrified of.

Dean smiled shortly and without any humor. His green eyes were fixed at some
point in the distance and his heart started drumming as their cart neared the
peak.

Sam seemed to be having a blast. He looked around himself all the time,
marveling at the view as they went higher and higher. And when they were at the
highest point and stopped, he was breathless at the sight of the beach.

“Jesus Christ, it had to stop here, didn’t it? Of course it did,” Dean
muttered.

Sam then paid attention to Dean and for the first time since they had gotten on
the ride he realized something was wrong.

“Are you afraid of heights?” he asked.

“Me?” Dean laughed quickly. “No, not really, I’m…”

Sam moved a little and caused the cart to shake some.

“HOLY SHIT STOP THAT!”

Sam laughed. “Yes, you are!”

Dean was way too terrified to argue with that. He held on to the cart and
controlled his breathing so they would be as still as possible.

“Hey. Relax.” Sam looked at him.

“Easy to say…these things go way too high. There’s no need to…” Dean was
silenced when a pair of lips covered his own. Sam’s kiss was soft but it
lingered, and when it deepened Dean started breathing again.

Sam’s hand rested on Dean’s thigh and his lips caressed Dean’s mouth and cheek,
and Sam even nuzzled his neck before pulling away. The cart was moving again,
going down, and Dean had barely noticed it.

“Nice move,” he admitted.

Sam smiled coyly.

“I might be in for another visit to the peak if you do that again.” Dean’s
heart rate was quick now, but it had less to do with the height and more to do
with how warm his body became when Sam touched him.

Sam licked at his lips and looked away. He seemed to be struggling with
something when he spoke again.

“The teddy bear you saw me with…”

“You don’t have to explain anything.”

“It’s okay. It’s…it’s the only thing I have from my mom.”

“Oh.”

“I don’t know much about her. Dad never talks about her or their life together.
I know she died giving birth to me, and I know she was the most beautiful woman
in the world, or so he says.”

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s alright. The teddy bear was inside her bag with my stuff when she went to
the hospital. She wanted me to have it as soon as I was born. I know it’s
stupid, but it makes me feel close to her when I hold it.”

“It’s not stupid,” Dean said, his eyes serious and understanding.

“I’ve never met her. Dad doesn’t have any pictures. I sometimes dream of her,
even though I’ve never seen her. Isn’t that weird?”

“Maybe. I know what you mean, though. My mom died when I was four. I got to
know her, and I have some memories of the things we did together. But I was
little and sometimes…” Dean looked away. “sometimes I feel like I’m forgetting
her face, you know? There are days when I remember it so vividly, but sometimes
I need a picture to remind me of what she really looked like.”

Sam nodded.

“As I grew up I felt less connected to that toy. My dad insists that I keep it,
though. He even puts it in my bed when I kick it away. I think he misses my
mom, or feels guilty that I couldn’t meet her. I don’t know.”

Azazel was a monster, or so John had said. It was hard picturing him as a
loving dad who put a teddy bear by his son’s pillow so the kid would feel close
to his mother. Dean had once again the feeling that there was so much about Sam
he didn’t know yet.

“So it’s not that I like teddy bears…” Sam smiled with a faint shade of
blushing to his cheeks. “It’s just that one.”

“I understand. But it wouldn’t matter if you did.”

“It’d be weird.”

“Yeah, maybe a little,” Dean caved and they laughed.

He then watched Sam’s eyes get lost in the horizon. They were at the peak of
the wheel again, but Dean had relaxed considerably. He watched Sam’s thoughtful
look and the long gaze towards the beach.

“Are you sad now?” he asked softly.

“Yeah. Kind of.”

“Because of your mom?”

“Not really,” Sam said and sighed. “I just…I’m having a really good time. I
don’t want the afternoon to end.”

They looked into each other’s eyes and Dean smiled, but he also felt something
shudder inside of him, almost as if there were tears somewhere. Dean wasn’t
sad, though. It was a different feeling.

“Me too. It feels great being with you.”

“Even if I know nothing about hot dogs or ice cream?” Sam asked, but there was
so much more behind that silly question, and Dean understood it, and he laughed
lightly.

“Yeah, even so. I'm sure you'll grow to like a lot of things in the near
future. I'll show you how.”

Sam smiled shyly, and at that moment, with the sun reflected on his face, his
eyes shining with joy, Dean had never seen anything so beautiful, and he
understood why he felt like crying.

“C’mere.” He pulled Sam’s face closer and kissed him again.

Chapter 13


Bobby Singer was not the typical priest one could find at any given church. For
one, he didn’t even dress like a priest. He didn’t preach on a daily basis, and
he wasn’t connected to a higher religious hierarchy. His church was his home
and he answered to no one. Bobby spent his days sleeping and studying in the
church or teaching and walking around the city.

Of course it hadn’t always been such. He hadn’t found the Lord until a few
years before, after his wife had passed away. He hadn’t been much of a believer
until he lost the love of his life and found solace to his pain in the quiet of
the church.

As a kid, Bobby had grown in the town where he still lived, and married his
high school sweetheart. For years Karen and he had been completely happy, until
the day she discovered she couldn’t have children.

Having babies was one of Karen’s dreams; it meant the world to her, and the
moment she found out she could never conceive Bobby knew something died deep
within her, something that left a bitter taste in their marriage. For a long
time Bobby had tried to help her deal with it; he had talked about adoption,
surrogacy, puppies, anything that would bring joy back into her life, but as
time passed by he was forced to witness his beloved wife fall into helpless
depression.

At that time Bobby was a Biology teacher at the local school and a researcher
on Anthropology. The more distant he grew from his wife, the more comfort Bobby
found in his books. Soon, he was dedicating all his free time to learning.

Bobby spent as much time in his studies as Karen did going to church and
praying feverishly.

She used to tell her husband that Bobby needed to accept the Lord in his life,
that if he went to church with her then God might smile upon them and give them
a child. Bobby didn’t believe any of that, but for the sake of Karen’s
depression, he decided to follow her to church service to try and be there for
her.

A few months after Bobby started to go to church with her, a miracle had
happened.

The day she came home and announced she was pregnant, Bobby swore he had never
seen anyone so happy in his entire life. For an entire month Karen had been the
happiest anyone could possibly be. Bobby couldn’t explain how much joy it gave
him to see his lover healthy again, with dreams and plans for their future.

It seemed like nothing could go wrong. It seemed like God had indeed smiled
down upon them and decided to paint a beautiful future ahead.

Of course, it all changed the day of the accident.

Thirty days it had lasted. A little over six weeks of pregnancy, according to
the doctor. One month of knowing they would be parents, and then there was the
hit and run.

Karen had gone shopping for baby stuff. ‘It’s too soon,’ Bobby had laughed. ‘We
have plenty of time to look into that!’ But Karen had been unmovable. She was
too happy and she couldn’t wait. She left after lunch to go to a few stores and
when she was coming back home she was hit by a car. The driver, a young man who
was drunk out of his mind, couldn’t believe what he had done. Neither could
Bobby. Neither could the rest of the town. It seemed way too cruel.

Bobby knew he had loved his wife deeply, but he had never realized how much he
had wanted to be a father until after the accident. In a few seconds, the drunk
driver had taken everything away from him, and that was when praying became a
necessity.

Spending his time in church made Bobby feel closer to his wife and unborn kid.
It made him try and find meaning in what had happened, and after some time it
had managed to soothe his aching heart.

When Bobby decided to become a priest, he did it because it made sense to him.
He couldn’t really see himself married to another woman, and he certainly
didn’t have any hopes of starting a family. But being in church gave him a lot
of time to pray and read, two things Bobby appreciated. When he became involved
with religion, he started to read all sorts of books, ancient manuscripts and
anything he could get his hands on. It fed his passion for History and
Anthropology, but most importantly, it kept him busy and he needed that.

There weren’t any sermons in his church. Bobby didn’t really do that. It was
just a church where people sometimes went to if they needed peace and quiet.
But it was mostly a place of learning, and Bobby preferred it that way.
Sometimes people hired him to home school their kids. Bobby didn’t mind being
paid some good cash for his service. He had to maintain the church, after all.
And buy new books. And good whiskey, because that was something he still let
himself indulge in.

Right now, Bobby sat on his chair behind the desk, sipping from a glass of
whiskey and thinking of his friend John.

It had been almost inevitable that they had grown close. After losing his wife,
Bobby had found himself gravitating towards John Winchester, a man who had lost
his wife during childbirth three years before Bobby’s life changed for good. At
the time, the two men had so much in common it was hard to stay apart. Grief
brought them together, and soon they discovered a lot of mutual interests.

John taught Bobby how to hunt. Embracing religion didn’t change the fact that
Bobby learned fast and was very good with guns. They went hunting quite often
back when Dean was growing up. Although Bobby would never say anything, he
cherished the opportunity to be a part of the kid’s life and see Dean grow. He
wouldn’t be lying if he said that helping take care of John’s son every now and
then had warmed a very cold and shut out part of his heart.

Then there had been the paranoia, as Bobby thought of it. One day John had
started to act weird, and eventually he had told Bobby about the things he had
seen, things about the town’s most famous doctor, things about Samuel’s father,
Azazel.

Bobby was still visiting John often when the theories began and the crazy plans
started to fill John’s head.

Although he couldn’t say it was completely bullshit, Bobby had never given his
friend too much credit. They were both men whose lives were coated in grief,
and that could drive you mad eventually.

For some time they had been together in it, John trying to prove his theories,
trying to make him believe, Bobby growing curious but cautious about whatever
it was that John told him about Azazel.

Then there had been the day when John told him about his past. About everything
that happened the day his wife, Mary, had died.

Bobby drank a long sip of his drink and made a face as he remembered that day.
John had drunk a lot, but not enough not to know what he was doing, and he had
told Bobby his biggest secret. He had sought comfort for what he felt, no
doubt. But Bobby had been unable to offer any.

The truth of what John had told him had affected Bobby way too deeply. That
night, after having heard his friend spill about his past and his decisions,
Bobby had desperately tried to change his friend’s mind, but John had been too
stubborn, and too driven by guilt. So, Bobby had left John’s house and his
visits had simply stopped happening.

They had met a few times after that, and every time they did it, Bobby had
tried to knock some sense into John’s head, but he had never succeed. They
couldn’t seem to agree on what the best option was in a really delicate
situation.

Eventually, stubbornness and hurt got in the way of their friendship. John kept
on hunting and fixing cars. Bobby kept on teaching and praying, and when one
day Azazel came by the church offering to hire Bobby to home school his son,
prince Samuel, Bobby felt a spike of adrenaline buzz in his body.

No, he still didn’t believe John’s theories. He was fairly certain they were
mostly delusions from a man drowning in guilt and grief. Yet…what if there was
something to John’s suspicions? Just what if…?

Bobby knew he needed to take the chance and be near Samuel, and over the years
he had been with the prince, Bobby had grown to love and care deeply for that
boy who knew so much of books and History and so little about life.

Sometimes, when Bobby looked at Sam and the way he seemed so happy in Dean’s
company, Bobby hoped for the sake of everyone involved in this that John’s
fears were nothing but delusions.

They spent the whole day at the park. There was laughter and different food and
the sky was a beautiful mingle of pink and blue when they looked at it from up
above. The day had been perfect, but it wasn’t over yet.

When the sun was about to set in a distant line their eyes could see in the
horizon, Sam didn’t go back to the church. He went with Dean to his shack by
the beach, where they could be alone.

The moment he walked in his heart raced because he knew what would happen. Dean
closed the door and then stood in front of him, looking silently into his eyes
for what felt like an eternity until he finally moved. When he did, his arms
wrapped around Sam and pressed them together.

Sam shut his eyes at the feeling. He was being kissed and touched and he didn’t
have the strength to fight anything. As Dean’s leg slipped between his and
rubbed, Sam tilted his head back and offered his neck for Dean’s lips to
explore.

The feeling of arousal grew and Sam felt himself throb in his pants.Please…it
felt so good, so amazing… Why would he stop something like that from happening?
Sam didn’t want to stop. He wanted more.

Dean’s fingers slipped under his shirt and flicked at his nipples, like he had
done before, and Sam moaned and pressed down hard against Dean’s thigh, trying
to get more friction.

It felt just like in the elevator, but hotter because it was happening right
now instead of being a memory. Sam gasped when Dean’s hand tugged at his jeans
and slipped inside his underwear.

He had never been touched like that, never…he was so hard it hurt, and Dean’s
palm…holy shit…it was so warm against his skin, his fingers were so skilled
when they wrapped around Sam’s cock and stroked.

Sam shuddered. His mouth felt dry and his whole body pulsed when Dean moved his
hand. For a moment Sam was almost afraid of what he felt, but he couldn’t
control the inevitable. He felt his balls jerk and his knees falter, and then
there was nothing but sweet release and the feeling of floating into the same
sky he had admired before.


Sam woke up lazily when the curtains were drawn and sunlight flooded his room.
He yawned unhurriedly and stretched, and he might have smiled too, but then
Crowley was already by his bed, pulling the sheets off his body in order to
take a good look at him.

Crowley’s eyes narrowed the moment he looked at Sam’s midsection. Sam followed
his look and found himself staring at the way his underwear stuck to his skin.

“You had a good dream, then?” Crowley snickered before he touched Sam briefly.

Sam recoiled immediately and frowned. He waited as Crowley took his fingers to
his nose to confirm what he suspected.

“All right. I’ll let your father know. Go get ready.”

Sam was tempted to feel ashamed and guilty, but the moment Crowley was out and
a different server walked into the room with him, Sam let himself smile as he
thought about his dream. And it wasn’t only the dream that caused him to smile.
Having reached an orgasm in his sleep meant his dad wouldn’t be drinking from
him tonight, and probably not for the next two or three days. Perhaps Sam would
only be visited by his dad again at night in the next week.

Sam got up and started looking for clothes to take a shower.

He walked into the bathroom closely followed by a silent woman who stood by the
corner as he washed himself. Today Sam knew there wouldn’t be one moment of
privacy, not even a minute.

Azazel had quickly realized what took Sam’s innocent mind a while longer to
understand. If he had already had an orgasm in the middle of the night and was
hence dismissed from any blood drinking, then that would be a day in which Sam
could masturbate as much as he wanted and get away with it, because Azazel
simply wouldn’t know. Yet, even though Azazel wouldn’t taste it, he knew it was
important not to encourage Sam’s libido. In his mind, Azazel believed that the
more Sam was allowed to indulge, the more he would want it—like a drug addict
who would be capable of anything for another fix. Letting Sam enjoy sexual
pleasure at particular moments might make him question his entire life
structure. Not to mention how more testosterone might lead to more sex dreams
and, eventually, to unruly behavior.

When Sam realized what could happen, he also understood why he had extra
surveillance on the days following a wet dream. Azazel was aware that on such
days Sam could be tempted to do something wrong without any fear of being
caught, so the extra eyes on him were to ensure he remained a good boy.

Sam finished his shower and dressed, all the while being closely watched. When
he went down to have breakfast he felt a little more comfortable in the
kitchen. Even though there were more people around him, Sam didn’t feel so
intimately observed anymore.

As he lowered his eyes to his food, he let his mind toy with the memory of his
dream. In the secrecy of his silence, Sam was all smiles and heart bursting
within, and that was when an idea occurred to him.

If Sam managed to leave the mansion today, or on any other day after having a
wet dream, if he could be in Dean’s company…

Sam closed his eyes, his heart thudded in his chest and his dick twitched in
his pants.

If he could see Dean knowing his dad wouldn’t be coming to his bedroom at
night, then Sam could let himself go again. He could allow himself to enjoy
Dean’s touch, just like the dream. Of course he wouldn’t have sex, because then
everything would be ruined and his dad would realize it soon enough. But the
thought that he could let Dean touch him and feel the same explosion of
pleasure he had felt before in the elevator made his thoughts buzz with need.

A while later, upstairs in his bedroom, Sam’s heartbeats were still erratic as
he started to prepare his things to go to class. He had everything he needed
when the woman in his room left and Crowley returned.

“Where do you think you’re going, Prince? May I know?”

“To class,” Sam said. He felt a twinge of heartbreak at what he knew Crowley
was about to say, but he still tried anyway. “Have you forgotten I need to see
Father Bobby today?”

“Your father was informed of your dream. You can let your things be and not
worry about class. You’re not going anywhere.”

“What?!” Sam felt his blood boil with anger. “That’s absurd! My dream doesn’t
change anything. What does it have to do with my learning?”

Crowley took a few steps towards Sam and narrowed his eyes curiously.

“You do seem very keen on learning, young prince.” He studied Sam intently
until the boy looked away. “But I’m just following orders here. Your dad says
you stay in today, and we both need to do as he says.”

“This isn’t fair,” Sam murmured, his heart falling. He could already imagine
Dean coming into the church’s classroom looking for him and having to hear
Bobby say that he hadn’t shown up for class. After Sam’s wild fantasies of
being with Dean and feeling good again, he was now having to adapt to the cold
reality of the prisoner he really was in his home.

“Little is fair in this life, you should know that by now.”

Sam let his books fall heavily on top of his bed where he sat, sighing and
letting his eyes stray. Unable to leave his home and unwilling to stay, Sam
took small comfort in playing his dream in his head over and over again, and
letting his mind drift away with memories of being with Dean.


~ * ~


 “I thought you were busy this afternoon,” John said when he saw Dean walking
into the garage.

Dean looked at his dad and shrugged. He was just coming back from the church,
where Sam had failed to show up for his class. Even though Bobby had warned him
that this happened sometimes, Dean was still shocked by the wave of
disappointment that took him when he understood he wouldn’t be in Sam’s company
today.

He left the church and couldn’t find his friends, so he headed to the salvage
yard knowing that working would help him get his mind off his frustration.

“Yeah, so did I. But I’m here now. You got anything I can help with?” he asked.

John didn’t reply immediately. He studied his son for a moment, his thoughts
running in his head.

“How is it with Azazel’s son? Have you been in touch with him?”

Dean looked into his dad’s eyes and felt immediately defensive. “Why? You’d
probably be mad if I answered honestly.”

“I don’t want to see you in trouble, that’s all. Everyone knows how much Azazel
hates me and you know how I feel about him.”

“Forget Azazel,” Dean said strongly. “I don’t give a damn about him, Dad. I’m
friends with Sam, and he’s a nice a kid. I know it’s hard to believe, but he
is. I don’t know much about him, but Samuel isn’t an evil bastard, it doesn’t
matter what anyone says about him.”

John took a silent, deep breath and swallowed. “He isn’t?”

“No,” Dean was adamant. “Sam’s a really good kid.”

John didn’t say anything, but Dean thought his dad’s eyes looked different and
curious.

“Well, I don’t know about the kid, Dean. It’s Azazel I’m worried about. I don’t
want you near that man. He’s evil, you can trust me on this.”

“Then if you’re right, it’s one more reason for me to be friends with Sam.
Don’t you think?” Dean wondered what was going on with his dad right now. John
seemed definitely distant and deceitfully calm. Dean would give anything to be
able to see into his father’s thoughts.

“Whatever, Dean.” John shrugged and his voice sounded defeated. “The blue Chevy
could use an oil change. You can help me with that if you’re up to it.”

“Yeah…I’ll do it.” Dean looked at his father when he turned around. “What are
you doing?”

“Skinning a couple of rabbits. Will you stay for dinner?”

“No, thanks.”

Dean watched as John disappeared inside the house and turned around to look for
the blue Chevy.

In the kitchen, John took his knife and looked at the white rabbit inside the
sink. There was a red blood stain at the animal’s mouth, and when John looked
at the red dot on top of the white fur he shut his eyes as the memory hit him.


*


Ten years earlier…


John Winchester sometimes visits the General Hospital after visiting hours,
when most employees have gone home and only the doctors in charge of the night
shifts roam the corridors. Once every six months or so John visits Azazel in
his office, after business hours, when no one would pay them any attention.
There is a reason for his visits, a motive that shames John as much as it moves
him to keep going.

Tonight, the night things will take a different turn in his relationship with
Azazel, John talks to the yellow-eyed doctor for twenty minutes or so before he
turns around to go back home.

John is almost at the hospital door when something occurs to him. It’s a silly
question, he knows that, but suddenly it seems important. Besides, it’s not
like John is busy or in a hurry to get back home. Bobby Singer is watching Dean
for him, and he certainly won’t mind if John is ten or fifteen minutes late.

So John turns around and walks back into Azazel’s office, and what he sees when
he gets there makes his heart race and his thoughts run wild.

“Excuse me, I was just wondering if…” John’s words falter and he never finishes
that sentence.

Azazel surely believed he was alone, and is caught off guard by John walking
back into his office. It had been a long day, Azazel is tired and hungry, so
hungry he can’t wait anymore.

When John walks back in, Azazel lets the blood bag fall on the floor and turns
around with a snarl. His upper lip is arched and the sound he makes is almost
like a hiss. His teeth are red, there’s red blood dripping from the corner of
his lips and down his chin, and his yellow eyes are flashing.

John looks into those yellow eyes and the blood in the doctor’s mouth, and the
blood bag on the floor, and when it all comes together there’s no reason, just
madness, and John is scared, hell, he is terrified, and for a second or two he
doesn’t think he can move again, and his feet don’t belong to his body.

There’s blood in Azazel’s mouth and he licks at his lips, and his eyes are
dangerous and bold, and John realizes his heart may race itself out of his
chest at any moment now.

“I… I’m sorry, I’ll…” John stutters. “Are you…are you drinking that?”

“Of course not,” Azazel smiles slowly, his expression softening. “That’s blood,
John. Why would I be drinking it?” he says. And his words make sense, they do!
They are everything John wants to hear, and yet, there’s blood in Azazel’s
mouth, between his teeth, and there are red dots on the collar of his white
shirt.

“Right. I just… I was going to ask something else but maybe next time…”

“Go home, John.” Azazel’s voice is soft, but there is a clear threat hanging in
his words.

The moment John can finally regain control of his legs, he nods and leaves
quickly, and until John reaches the door he never looks back over his shoulder.
He tells himself he’s tired and seeing things, but he’s actually afraid and
perplexed.

John never knows how he even manages to get home that night. All he can think
of is the red stain on the white shirt, and the sound the blood bag made when
it hit the floor.

Chapter 14



“I’ve missed you.” Dean had Sam trapped between the rock wall and himself.
There was darkness around them as they stood in the corridor beneath the
church, and the only sound was that of their quick breathing.

“I couldn’t come before. There was no way of letting you know. Sorry,” Sam
apologized, but he hardly paid his words any attention. He had missed Dean,
too.

“I’m glad you could come today. I got something you’ll enjoy doing.”

Sam could see the smile in Dean’s eyes, and then he didn’t see anything because
they were kissing. In the silence of the corridor they hugged and kissed for a
moment, but before Sam’s mind started to drift, he was being pulled out of the
corridor and into the sunny early afternoon waiting for them.

“Where are we going today?” Sam asked, excitedly, when Dean started to lead the
way.

“Some place no one will bother us. Are you up to a little walking? I assure you
it’ll be worth it.”

“Yeah.”

“C’mon, then.”

Dean took Sam to the beach, but instead of staying where some people walked
along the shore, he guided Sam to a rocky and wooded place in the distance, and
showed him a hiking trail.

They looked into each other’s eyes for a silent moment before they started
walking. As they made their way through a steep hill, their feet finding sand
and roots, their hands sometimes having to fight off thorns on some of the
trees, Sam stole a few glances in Dean’s direction. There were beads of sweat
on his forehead, and Sam stared at the well defined muscles in his arms and the
way his tanned skin glowed under the bright sun.

“What are you smiling at?” Dean caught his glance and smiled playfully.

Sam shook his head and looked away, feeling almost drunk with joy.

It wasn’t long before they reached the top of the place and stopped to catch
their breaths.

“Wow. It’s beautiful here.” Sam looked into the horizon and at the blue waters
meeting the sand, just a few feet below them.

“I think of this place as my private beach. There’s hardly anyone here,” Dean
said. “I come here when I want to swim naked,” he laughed.

Sam laughed too, but he couldn’t help wondering how many people Dean had
already taken to that little paradise, and how many of them he had lain with.
All of them, most likely.

“C’mon. I left some swimming trunks by the beach. Let’s go into the water.”
Dean pulled Sam out of his thoughts as he led them down towards the shore.

“Wait. I can’t get wet. How will I go back?”

“Leave your clothes on the sand. Take the swimming trunks. We can stop by the
shack and you can blow dry your hair. No one will know.”

“You’ve thought this through,” Sam chuckled.

“Of course I have.”

They locked eyes for a moment and there was something important being said in
that shared look, something that remained a secret.

“Thanks,” Sam murmured.

“Go ahead. Put them on. I’ll be in the water.”

Sam watched as Dean took off his shirt and started towards the water. For a
moment the younger boy just stood where he was and appreciated the sight of
Dean’s naked back. Sam was still looking when Dean disappeared below the water
and came back a few seconds later, water dripping down his back and shoulders.

“C’mon!” he called.

Sam took the swimming suit and went behind some trees. He took off his clothes
and put the trunks on, then he headed towards the water.

Dean stared at Sam’s half-naked body with evident lust. He had touched Sam
before, but that didn’t stop him from appreciating the sight of his lithe body.
Whatever Sam did in his mansion every day, it certainly involved physical
activity. He looked great.

“Can you swim?” Dean asked as he saw Sam walking into the cool water.

“Yeah. There’s a pool at home. I learned when I was a kid.” Sam dipped into the
water and felt the chilling temperature of it embrace him completely. When he
returned to the surface he shook his head and wiped at his eyes. The sun warmed
his skin as he ran a hand through his wet and messy hair.

“That’s a shame,” Dean spoke softly, huskily, causing Sam’s eyes to dart open
and the salt to sting a little. Sam hadn’t realized Dean was that close. “I was
hoping I might have to save you from drowning…”

Sam’s heart slammed against his chest when he felt Dean’s arms wrap around him
slowly and draw his body closer. Dean’s skin was on fire, despite the cold
temperature of the water.

“I was picturing myself breathing into your mouth…” Dean’s lips parted and he
blew lightly at Sam’s face.

Sam shivered and shut his eyes. The combination of the cold water and Dean’s
fiery touch caused goosebumps to break on his skin. He let his palms rest
against Dean’s arms, squeezing tentatively at the firmness under his
fingertips.

There was something so heated and safe about the way Dean held him that it was
hard to think rationally. Sam could feel their naked chests pressing, and soon
he felt more than that, too. He got hard when Dean pushed against him lightly,
and he could feel the hardness in Dean’s midsection.

Sam’s lips parted and he panted. He looked into Dean’s eyes with helplessness
and need.

Dean felt himself throb. Sam’s hazel eyes were locked with his, and Dean could
see the dilated pupils speaking volumes of Sam’s arousal. There was nothing he
wanted more than to lose control and ravish Sam on that deserted beach, but he
didn’t want to scare him.

Dean forced himself to pull away and smile it off.

“Let’s swim a little, eh?”

Sam’s breathing pattern was a mess when he nodded. “Yes. Let’s.”

Suddenly, the warmth went away and there was only the coldness of the water.
The moment Dean was gone Sam wanted him back. Yet, there was also relief as he
dove into the water and let it clear his thoughts and ease the heat.

They swam and talked and laughed for a while longer. Sam was once again relaxed
and comfortable in Dean’s presence. A part of him knew he was pushing his luck.
There he was again, in a deserted place, alone with a handsome man who could,
if he really wanted, take from Sam the one thing he couldn’t give anyone. Sam
knew he trusted Dean enough not to think that would happen, but the thought
that it might caused a chill of fear and excitement to travel his body every
now and then.

Sam once again went under the water, and this time he opened his eyes. He saw
the sand just within his reach, and touched it with his hands. When he came
back to the surface to grab some air he could feel Dean behind him.

“Dean?”

“Right here.”

Sam turned around and was caught off guard by their closeness.

“You’re so fucking beautiful…” Dean’s green eyes seemed clouded, and the heavy
lust in them caused Sam’s breath to grow ragged.

Dean’s palm was against his cheek and Sam’s lips parted obediently. When Dean’s
tongue licked into his mouth there was wetness and salt, and Sam shut his eyes
and let his fingers dig into Dean’s ribcage and slide upwards where he
flattened his hands against Dean’s shoulders.

Dean’s mouth traveled lower. Sam panted when a pair of hot lips kissed his neck
and his collarbone. But Dean didn’t stop there. He trailed butterfly kisses
lower, and when his lips found one of Sam’s hard nipples, his tongue darted out
and flicked against it, eliciting a surprised and strangled moan.

“Dean.” Sam’s clipped breathing was a plea. When the tip of Dean’s tongue found
his other nipple and circled it, Sam’s fingers were grasping at Dean’s hair,
probably painfully tight, but Dean didn’t mind.

‘Oh, God, no…please, no…we can’t…can’t…’ Even in his mind Sam’s voice sounded
whiny and pitiful. He was throbbing with arousal, and when Dean pulled him
closer by the hips and pressed Sam’s erection against his own, Sam bit down
hard on his lip so he wouldn’t cry.

Dean’s cock was rock hard and his desire was thick. He wanted to make Sam feel
good; he wanted him to moan and come and lose his fucking mind, and Dean wanted
to lick all the salt off his skin, and he wanted to taste the pleasure building
up inside the boy right now.

Dean’s hands roamed over Sam’s chest possessively, and when they looked into
each other’s eyes there was a connection so thick that it felt impossible to
break away.

“I wonder if I can make you moan again if I lick at this sweet spot…” Dean’s
words died when he closed his lips around the curve of Sam’s neck and shoulder.
He licked at the spot and nibbled, and Sam’s response didn’t disappoint.

“Hm,”Sam bucked against Dean and gritted his teeth. He was burning, drowning…
He managed to look around and think, vaguely, that someone could walk in on
them at any moment.

Dean’s breath was messy, too, when he reached down his fingers and toyed with
the button of Sam’s swimming trunks.

“Dean…someone could see us…”

“Relax. No one comes here.”

Sam was going to say something, but he felt Dean’s fingertips touching the
sensitive skin below his navel and forgot to breathe.

Sam was reeling. It looked too much like his dream, and yet felt so fucking
real he couldn’t handle it. He felt Dean’s fingers trying to slip inside his
underwear and a warning lit up in his brain. Sam couldn’t let it happen. He was
so hard and so horny that if Dean touched him he would come. And then what
would he do? What if his oxytocin levels weren’t high enough to disguise the
testosterone from his orgasm? He wouldn’t be allowed outside again, he would
not see Dean anymore…

“No…please…” Sam’s voice sounded broken, almost tearful, when he placed his
hand on top of Dean’s and held at it, keeping Dean from moving lower.

“It’s okay…no one will see us…you can relax…” Dean cooed gently into Sam’s ear,
his fingers trying to move despite Sam’s grip on them.

“Please…” Sam shook his head and squeezed Dean’s hand.

Dean heard something in Sam’s voice, something that made him stop and study the
boy’s face. Dean could tell Sam was hot, but he could also tell he meant it
when he told Dean to stop. There was, in the boy’s face, a perplexing mix of
arousal and pain, and Dean would be damned if he understood where that
combination was coming from.

He stopped moving his hand and Sam’s grip loosened. “It’s okay…it’s alright,
Sammy,” whispered soothingly. He retreated his hand and hugged Sam, and they
stood like that for a while, not saying anything, with the water covering them
from the waist down.

“I’m sorry,” Sam said, finally. “Someone could find us and then…”

“I know. It was reckless. I apologize.”

Sam was afraid someone would see them, right, but that was not the reason he
had had to stop. But how could he tell Dean the truth about himself? How could
Sam tell him that he couldn’t find release, that whatever happened between them
was already doomed? Dean was a sex god, and Sam didn’t want to disappoint him.
It was selfish, but Dean made him happy and Sam wasn’t ready to lose that.
Better let him think that Sam was afraid of being caught.

“It’s okay. We should go.” Sam pointed out.

“Yeah, we should. Come on.”

The two of them left the water and walked a few steps over the hot sand. When
they stood before each other Sam couldn’t help himself. His eyes had a will of
their own and they were adamantly fixed on the bulge in Dean’s wet trunks. Dean
followed Sam’s gaze and chuckled when he realized the boy was staring at his
cloth covered erection.

“What? I’m not immune to you. You felt it in the water. You drive me crazy,”
Dean confessed.

“I…I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be.”

Sam felt shy but still hot and hardly in control. He couldn’t stop looking at
the evident column of flesh standing proudly in Dean’s wet trunks. It made his
heart beat faster. Sam had never seen anyone like that. He had hardly ever seen
himself like that.

Dean caught the intensity of Sam’s look and his eyes flickered with desire
again.

“Do you want to see me?” He asked softly, gently, his fingers resting casually
on the waistband of his clothing.

Sam’s heart slammed in his chest and he knew he had trouble keeping his breath
under control. ‘Oh God, yeah. Please. Yes. Let me,’ his mind begged, but he
hesitated. He wanted desperately to see Dean’s erection, but he didn’t feel
safe enough to do the same. What if Dean asked him to? Sam didn’t think he had
the right to ask for something he wasn’t willing to do himself.

“It’s okay,” Dean said, as if he could read the boy’s thoughts. “You don’t have
to do anything. But I’ll let you see me if you like.”

Sam licked at his lips and nodded faster than he could have said ‘yes’. Dean
chuckled hotly and hooked two fingers around the waistband of his trunks. He
pulled them down and stood completely naked before Sam’s eyes, his cock hard
and thick, taut against his lower belly.

Sam gasped, and he might have moaned if he hadn’t bit down hard on his bottom
lip. His cock twitched and there was another wave of blood pooling in his sex
as he studied Dean. He was transfixed by the sight. The evidence of Dean’s
desire for him was intoxicating. Sam’s eyes couldn’t get enough of the wetness
glistening around the pink tip of Dean’s cock, and Sam’s breath was an obvious
pant by now.

The boy’s reaction made Dean burn. He took a few steps closer to Sam but didn’t
touch him. The way Sam kept licking his lips and his eyelids kept fluttering
spoke volumes of the arousal still piercing his younger companion.

“Would you like to touch me?” Dean asked a simple, honest question. Of course
he wanted to feel Sam’s hands on him, but he wondered if that was what the boy
wanted, too. Sometimes it seemed so clear that Sam felt a certain way and yet
things could change suddenly. Dean wanted to be sure.

“Can I?” Sam’s question was a plea.

“Of course.”

Dean took one step closer, and he could feel himself throb when Sam’s hand
moved and his fingers approached his cock tentatively. Dean was already
anticipating the touch when a loud noise came from behind them and Sam pulled
away, looking above their heads with fear instead of arousal.

Dean looked over his shoulder at the same time a large black bird came out from
between the trees, croaked once again and flew away.

“It’s just a bird. Told you no one really comes here.”

“Yeah,” Sam smiled a little, but he was more shy than curious now.

“Maybe some other time,” Dean helped him, and Sam nodded gladly. Dean pulled
his trunks back on and followed Sam to the place where he had left his clothes
before. They started to make their way back to Dean’s beach cabin, and when
they got there Sam went into the bathroom to take a quick shower and dry off as
much as he could. He blow dried his hair for a few minutes until there was no
trace of his little adventure. Not on the outside, anyway. His mind was
bubbling with all sorts of fiery feelings about the afternoon.

“Let’s go?” Dean asked.

Sam nodded.

They left the beach and in a few minutes Dean was with Sam at the secret
entrance to the church.

“Hey…” Dean touched Sam’s hand lightly. “Are you okay?”

“Yes.” Sam felt much better now that the haze of desire had faded away. Not
that he hadn’t loved every minute of what they had done together, but knowing
he would get away with it was comforting. If Sam managed not to lose control he
could see Dean again a few more times before he would have to, invariably, let
him go. Sam pushed the thought away forcefully. “Thank you. I really enjoyed
swimming.”

“I’m glad. You take care, okay? I’ll miss you.” Dean felt his chest warm, and
he knew his eyes were speaking volumes of his feelings.

Sam smiled and leaned in to plant a kiss on Dean’s lips. Dean shut his eyes at
the softness.

“I’ll miss you, too. Take care.”

Dean watched when Sam turned around and disappeared inside the dark corridor.
For now, there was nothing else Dean could do when it came to Sam, but there
was something very real he could, and needed to do for himself.

Dean went back to the shack quickly with thoughts of Sam and he taking over his
imagination. He was already hard when he pulled down his pants and underwear
and sat down on the bed.

He shut his eyes and fisted his cock.

“Fuck,” Dean cursed. His whole body pulsed with urgency. He squeezed around the
base of his erection and soon there was wetness leaking from his slit. In the
light of his thoughts, Dean undressed Sam and went down on him. He closed his
mouth around the boy’s dripping cock until Sam screamed with pleasure and
tugged at Dean’s hair painfully. Then, Dean would bend Sam’s knees back and
lick him open for his cock. “Oh…damn….” Dean tensed and came, covering his fist
and thighs with his come and then letting his back fall heavily against the
sheets.

Staring at the ceiling, his ragged breathing calming down slowly, Dean wondered
whether Sam would be engaging in some of the same soon. Judging from Dean’s
experience with having no experience and being aroused all the time, he
supposed Sam must be playing with himself a lot lately.

Dean chuckled at the thought. He hoped Sam thought about them when he jerked
off.

And he hoped he could be the one playing with Sam soon.

Chapter 15



The next time Sam was scheduled to have class with Bobby, he woke up with his
heart drumming in his chest. He hadn’t had a wet dream, but Sam remembered
dreaming over and over again of Dean’s naked body, and of his voice saying time
and again in his thoughts, ‘Do you want to touch me?’

Sam licked his lips and shut his eyes. He couldn’t let Dean touch him, but
there was nothing wrong about him touching Dean. The idea made Sam feel shaky
inside, and he pushed the covers away quickly.

“Morning, Prince,” Crowley said as he went for his usual inspection.

“Are you done?” Sam sounded impatient.

Crowley still studied him for a moment more, touched him briefly and nodded.
“Yes, I’m done.”

Sam walked past him and into the bathroom to take a shower. He could hardly
wait to be with Dean again.


~ * ~


When the limo parked in front of the church, Sam jumped out of his seat so
eagerly that he didn’t even realize he might be leaving something behind. The
moment he saw Bobby and got rid of Crowley, he was already anticipating Dean
coming through the door at the back of the classroom.

As Sam waited, he could see Bobby watching him intently.

“What if he doesn’t come today?” the priest asked. “Maybe Dean got busy with
something.”

“He’ll come.”

Sam said that with so much certainty that Bobby couldn’t help but wonder about
their connection. The older man liked to hang on to the fact that so far
nothing bad had come out of that friendship, and he hoped to God that would
remain so.

It wasn’t long before there was a knock on the door and Dean Winchester joined
them in the classroom.

“Hey, Sam.”

Sam locked eyes with him and his heart thudded. Knowing he was playing with
fire wasn’t the only reason why Sam’s blood became hotter.

“Hey.”

“Ready for today?” Dean asked.

Sam looked quickly in Bobby’s direction.

“Go before I change my mind.”

The older man didn’t need to speak again. Sam and Dean took the door that led
to the corridor below the church and were outside in a few minutes.

A few feet from the church, inside the limo, Crowley was sitting behind the
wheel, listening to the radio, when he checked the rear-view mirror and
something caught his attention.

Crowley looked over his shoulder to the place where Sam had been sitting a
while ago. The boy had forgotten his backpack.

“Kids,” Crowley sighed and got out of the car. He took Sam’s backpack from the
backseat and started making his way back to the church.


~ * ~


“What are we doing today?” Sam asked as they started to walk towards the beach.

“Well…” Dean licked his lips and eyed him with a playful smile. “We could go
back to my shack, where I’ll be forced to undress you, tie you up to my bed,
and lick you until you’re screaming and coming…”

Sam stopped on his tracks and his heart raced. His cock twitched and his breath
became short instantly.

Dean grinned and watched the dilated pupils and the arousal lying just beneath
the surface.

“Or we could go to the bar where I work at nights. I got some stuff left to
clean in there that needs to be done, and my friends will be there, too.”

Sam relaxed a little, but his breathing was still unsure about calming down.

“Did you mean that?”

“What?” Dean asked.

“That you would do all those things to me in your place.” Sam didn’t know what
feeling was stronger, the sexual desire or the fear tangling inside of him.

Dean stepped closer to the boy and kissed his lips softly. “Only if you want me
to. When you want me to.”

Sam stood perfectly still where he was.

“What?” Dean frowned. “Is that such a terrible picture I painted for you?”

Sam swallowed with some difficulty and shook his head. “No,” he said,
eventually. “It’s not.”

Dean was going to say something, but then he heard the noise a few feet behind
him, and turned around to find his friends.

Benny and Castiel were approaching them and caused Dean to smile largely.

“Hey!”

“Hey, you. Is this your angel, then? Azazel’s son?” Benny checked Sam out, head
to toe.

Sam felt shy under the searching look.

“Sam, that’s Benny,” Dean introduced them. “Don’t pay him too much attention,
baby. He’s a mischievous little fuck when he wants.”

“Hey, fuck off,” Benny grinned. “Nice to meet you, Sam.”

“You too.” Sam shook his hand quickly. Baby. Dean had just called him baby. Sam
felt his face afire with heat. He hoped his feelings weren’t too obvious on his
face.

“And that’s…”

“Castiel,” Sam cut Dean off. “We’ve met before. Hi.”

“Hey, Sam. How are you doing?” Cas patted his shoulder lightly.

“Good, thank you. You have a beautiful voice, by the way. Your performance at
my party was terrific. I really appreciate you going there,” Sam said politely.

“Really?” Cas chuckled. “That’s funny. I heard you were so busy when I sang
that you didn’t hear a word of it. Unless you could hear me from the elevator?”

Sam blushed hotter. He could feel the heat spreading to his neck and ears.

“Cas, just cut it out.” Dean put a protective arm around Sam’s shoulders.
“Never mind them. They’re just jealous that I’ve been spending time with you.”

“So tell us, what is it like being filthy rich?” Benny asked. “Do you have your
meals cooked and delivered to your room every day? Do you have a fridge inside
your bedroom?”

“Hey, back off,” Dean warned. He could see Sam was uneasy. “You promised you’d
try to behave.”

“I’m sorry. I’m just curious. You can’t blame me,” Benny argued. “I’m sorry,
Sam.”

“It’s okay.”

“They’ll grow on you, I promise.” Dean kissed Sam’s temple and winked at him.

Meanwhile, Castiel and Benny were already going towards the bar where they
would help Dean finish up his cleaning and probably grab a few drinks in the
process.

“Just relax, okay?” Dean’s eyes had sincere care in them, and Sam nodded and
exhaled deeply.

“Yeah.”

“You wanna go there with me and them for a while? Because if you don’t I can
make something up and we can do something else…”

“No, it’s okay. Let’s go.” Not that Sam didn’t prefer to be alone with Dean.
Hell, it was all he wanted. And yet, all he feared. The more time they spent
alone, the sooner Dean would find out his secret, so Sam was kind of glad that
he would get to spend time with Dean and not have to worry about losing
control. “Just…stay close.”

Dean smiled one of his knight in a shining armor smiles. “That goes without
saying.”


~ * ~


Bobby was reading a book, his feet up on the desk, when the knock caused him to
toss the book in the air and look worriedly at the door.

“Sam?” Crowley’s voice came from the other side. “You forgot your backpack.”

“Fuck,” Bobby whispered. He supposed a priest shouldn’t curse as much as he
did, but old habits died hard. ‘What the hell am I supposed to do?’

Bobby got up and looked around quickly. Sam had left less than twenty minutes
ago. He wouldn’t be back any time soon. He had to do something to stall
Crowley, but Bobby doubted the prince’s bodyguard would allow himself to be so
easily manipulated into going away.

“Crowley?” Bobby asked.

“Yes. I got Sam’s backpack.”

Bobby thought quickly as he touched the door and felt his racing heart pulsing
at his fingertips.

“It’s okay. Sam tells me he doesn’t need it. We’re using my own material.”

There was a pause in which no one spoke. Bobby started praying that Crowley
would just turn around and leave.

“His afternoon snack is here. He needs to eat. Sam?” Crowley called again, and
this time he seemed to be probing.

“He’s not hungry, Crowley. Sam’s busy. He says he’ll eat later.”

“How come he says so? I don’t hear anything.”

Bobby’s heart froze in his chest. He knew the question was coming before
Crowley even opened his lips.

“Is Samuel in there? Bobby Singer, are you hiding something?”

“Of course he’s in here.”

“Open up, then. I demand to see the Prince now.”

“No way, Crowley. My classes with Sam don’t need your supervision. Do you want
to be shamed like the other time? Are you sure you wanna piss Sam off?”

“Open the door, Bobby!” The more the priest argued, the more convinced Crowley
grew that there was something going on.

“Can’t do that. Go away, Crowley! Wait for Sam in the car. He’ll be there at
the agreed time.” Bobby knew he was fighting a desperate battle now.

“I swear to your bloody God that if you don’t let me in right now I’ll go get
Azazel at the hospital and you know all hell will break loose.”

“Don’t be stupid,” Bobby said, but he didn’t seem so certain.

“I’ll count to three, Bobby! And then I’m going to get Sam’s father. One…”

“Crowley, cut it out. It’s just a class.”

“Two…”

“I can’t believe you’re doing this!”

“Three.”

There was a moment of silence before Bobby heard the echoing footsteps moving
away from the door.

“Fine!” Bobby opened the door quickly. “You can come in.” Bobby was drowning in
anxiety when he saw Crowley halfway down the aisle of the church.

The prince’s guardian made his way back, and the two men stood face to face and
looked intently at each other before Crowley walked past Bobby and into the
classroom.

“Samuel? Prince?” Crowley looked around. “I don’t see him…hey! What are you
doing?”

Bobby was locking the door with the two of them inside.

“Now you listen to me. Sam’s not here, but he’ll be here at the agreed time.
Meanwhile, I can’t let you go out there again searching for the Prince, let
alone calling Azazel.”

“What? Have you seriously just locked me in this room? Are you bloody crazy?”
Crowley sounded mad.

“I suppose I am. The question is, what are you going to do about it? I have the
key here with me. Are you going to hit a priest to get it?”

Crowley’s eyes narrowed and he was fuming. Azazel would kill him! The master
would fucking kill him! But he couldn’t just go ahead and beat a priest up.
Besides, something about Bobby told Crowley it wouldn’t be that simple to
overpower him.

“You’re ruined, you know that, right? The minute I get out of here with the
prince, it’s over for you. I’ll…I’ll—”

“Oh, shut up. We’ve got a couple of hours to kill, and I’m not going to sit
here and listen to you go on and on about it. Just take a seat and wait.”

Crowley’s neck was red with the anger and fear struggling inside him.

“You have no idea what you’ve done. Azazel trusted you…”

“So did he trust you. And yet, where is his son? You lost Sam as much as I
did.”

“What?!” Crowley sounded outraged, and this time fear was stronger than anger.

“It’s true. You lost him as much as I did. The difference is that I’m aware of
it, while you were oblivious.”

Crowley shook his head and paced around. He kept thinking of what to do and the
consequences of what he had just found out. He shuddered at the thought of any
of that coming to Azazel’s knowledge.

“If something happens to Samuel…”

“Oh, just relax, will you? He’s gone out before. He’ll be back.”

“He’s done this before?!” Crowley didn’t think he could grow more exasperated
than he felt now.

“Shut up, Crowley. Just sit down or stand, I don’t care. As long as you keep
your mouth shut. There’s nothing you can do now but wait, so don’t make it a
living hell for the two of us.”

Crowley fell silent. His eyes seemed to send flames in Bobby’s direction, but
he didn’t say anything else. In the classroom beneath the church, the priest
and the guardian waited for the prince to come back.


~ * ~


They had been talking about casual stuff for over an hour when Benny put a
glass on the counter before Sam. “Here, have a margarita,” he said.

The youngest boy at the counter looked at the drink and smiled lightly. “Thank
you. I don’t drink.”

“Not even a little?” Benny insisted.

“Not really,” Sam answered and then let his eyes fall on Dean, who was cleaning
stuff up on the other side of the counter. So this was the bar where he worked
at night and where he picked up dates.

“So what do you do for fun, Sam?” Cas asked.

Sam thought about it for a moment. He didn’t want to sound awkward, but his
life was probably very different from those guy’s lives.

“I read a lot.”

“For fun, he asked,” Ben chuckled.

“Reading’s okay,” Sam said. “I like to swim. I play the piano, too. It’s good.”

“Do you like to go to parties?” Benny probed.

“I don’t go out much.”

“Except to meet Dean Winchester, here, eh? Can’t blame you.” Castiel winked at
the boy.

Sam looked at his watch and then back at Dean again. He was slightly edgy with
all the questions, and soon he would have to start back anyway.

“Dean…I think it’s time…” He began.

“Yeah, I know. Just give me a moment.” Dean turned around to put away a few of
the things he would need and then he slipped from behind the counter to join
his friends on the other side. “Let’s go?”

Dean’s adoring eyes made Sam forget how uneasy he felt; he was all warmth
inside when they looked into each other’s eyes.

“Yes.”

“See you later, guys.”

“See you,” Cas said.

“Bye. Bye Sam!” Benny added.

“Bye!”

Dean put a protective hand at Sam’s lower back as they started to walk away
from the bar and then the beach. They left under the curious stare of Dean’s
friends still watching from a distance.


~ * ~


“He seemed jealous,” Sam said when they arrived at the secret door that
connected Oak street to the church.

“Who did?” Dean frowned, genuinely puzzled.

“Your friend…”

“Which one?”

“Castiel, the singer.”

“No way. My friends aren’t jealous. They might be a little overprotective, but
that’s all.”

“It’s more than that. I can’t explain what I felt.” Sam thought about his
conversation with Dean’s friends and the way he felt Castiel looking at him
sometimes. Then, a thought crossed his mind suddenly. “Have you and him…you and
Castiel, I mean…”

It took Dean a moment to speak. “Yeah,” he said. He didn’t want to lie to Sam.
“It was a couple of years ago. We were both drunk and crashed at my place after
a good night out. I ended up sleeping with him.”

Sam wasn’t surprised, but that didn’t mean he didn’t feel something hot stab at
him as he considered the idea.

“It was a one night thing. We’ve been just friends since then,” Dean admitted.
Then he thought about something and shook his head a little. There was a lot
about him that Sam didn’t know. Although Dean wasn’t ashamed of his past or
anything, he was unsure about how Sam would react if he knew about it. “Sam
I…I’ve slept with quite a lot of people and…”

“Not now…” Sam said as he opened the door and pulled Dean inside with him,
shutting the door that connected them to the outside world. “We don’t have much
time. We’ll talk about it, okay?”

Dean looked into Sam’s hazel eyes, now shadowed by the lack of sunlight. He
wondered how much Sam already knew about him.

“Yeah, sure,” Dean agreed.

“I still have a few minutes but talking is not how I want to spend them,” Sam
said and licked at his lips unconsciously, and that was all the cue Dean needed
to close the distance between them.

With his heart racing, Dean pushed Sam against the nearest wall and captured
his mouth in a searing kiss to make up for the time they couldn’t touch in the
afternoon and the time apart they would have ahead of them.

In the dark corridor, the lovers made out with their mouths and hands, and the
only sound around them was that of breathing and lips parting and closing.

A few minutes later, when the more passionate kisses broke and there were just
a few, soft kiss going on, Sam recovered his breath and straightened his hair
to walk back into the church classroom.

“Bye, Dean.”

“I miss you already. I’ll walk you up to the classroom.”

Sam smiled and nodded. His heart thudded merrily in his chest.

When Sam opened the door, though, with Dean right behind him, his fast beating
heart seemed to stop for a second or two before it fell.

“Prince!” Crowley walked towards him and Sam’s world started spinning.

Chapter 16




Sam looked from Crowley to Bobby as his body tensed.

Then, everything seemed to happen sort of at the same time. Crowley saw Dean
standing right behind Sam and his shock and hatred twisted the features on his
face. “You bastard! How dare you get close to Samuel!” Crowley surged towards
Dean at the same time Bobby moved to try and stop him.

Dean, who was extremely attentive not to mention fast, was able to avoid
Crowley and push Sam’s bodyguard against a wall, his fist raised high.

“No!” Sam yelled.

“Dean, let him go!” Bobby asked, his grip tight on Dean’s arm so he would lower
it.

“You scumbag! You’re dead, Dean Winchester, you and your sorry daddy are going
to be so sorry you ever crossed paths with Azazel and his son!” Crowley was
fuming.

“Oh, please. Shut the hell up. You and I know you ain’t nothing but a stupid
butler and that I could kick your ass right now and right here and you’ll never
even see your precious boss again,” Dean threatened.

As Crowley and Dean exchanged insults, Bobby let Dean go for a moment and
turned to look at Sam, who was wide-eyed observing everything.

“I’m sorry,” Bobby said in a whispered voice. “He came in almost as soon as you
left. You forgot your backpack. I tried to stop him but he wouldn’t have it…”

It still took Sam a few minutes to shrug off his shock. When he did, he knew he
would have to think of something very fast.

“It’s okay, Bobby. I know you did your best.”

“I locked him in here so he wouldn’t go outside after you. Or back to your
father.”

“Thank you,” Sam said, and he sounded calm now. If there was one thing all his
years of staying isolated in the company of books had taught him, it was how to
think fast, and Sam knew that a lot was depending on his strategy skills right
now.

“Dean, you can let him go,” Sam said, approaching the two men about to go at
each other’s throats.

“Are you sure? I can take him easily, you know that. I can—”

“Yes, that’s okay,” Sam interrupted him.

Slow and reluctantly, Dean let Crowley go and watched as the older man adjusted
his suit with an indignant attitude.

“Let’s go, Samuel. You got a lot of explaining to do and your father is
waiting.”

“No,” Sam said calmly. “My father will not know about any of this.”

“What?” Crowley cocked an eyebrow and this time he seemed almost amused. “Of
course he will. You’re hanging out with the mechanic’s son God knows where! And
your teacher is an accomplice of that. Of course he will know. If you don’t
tell him then I will.”

“No, you won’t,” Sam was way too calm. That earned him weird looks from both
Bobby and Dean.

Crowley frowned and was about to open his mouth again when Sam spoke.

“Would you excuse us for a moment?” Sam looked at Dean and Bobby.

There was only a brief hesitation before Bobby nodded and tugged at Dean’s arm
to make him move. The two of them left the classroom, leaving Sam and Crowley
alone inside.

“Prince…” Crowley didn’t know where to start. “Do you even know who that man
is?! Is he making you do that? What the hell were you thinking?”

Sam didn’t say anything. He watched as Crowley went on about everything that
was wrong in the current situation. Sam listened and waited.

“When your father learns that you were alone, and that you were alone with that
man! Bloody hell!” Crowley cursed and shook his head at the thought. “Do you
know who he is?”

“He’s Dean Winchester, John Winchester’s son,” Sam replied.

“So you know. You do know your daddy hates the Winchesters, don’t you? What the
hell were you thinking?”

Sam looked intently into Crowley’s eyes when he spoke. “Dean’s a nice guy.
We’re just hanging out.”

“Just hanging out? Are you crazy?! Not only do you sneak out with the son of
your father’s enemy, you also have to spend time with the town’s most notorious
flirt! Do you know how many people have already been in Dean’s bed? You might
not know about things because your dad protects you, prince, but I assure you
Dean is trouble. He sleeps around and…” Crowley’s voice faltered and his eyes
widened. “Oh my God…has he touched you? He’s touched you, hasn’t he? Holy…”
Crowley shuddered at the idea that Sam had been corrupted because he had failed
to keep an eye on him. Azazel would certainly kill him or make him wish he did.

“He didn’t touch me. We’re friends.”

“I don’t believe you! You’ve been sneaking out with Dean, of all people, and
you tell me nothing happened? Take off your clothes. There might be still some
evidence I need to see.”

“No,” Sam stated.

“This is not a request, prince! Take your clothes off right now or this is
about to get really bad.”

Sam didn’t move an inch. He stood perfectly still until the moment Crowley
grabbed him by the elbow rather forcefully. Then Sam smiled slowly and his
hazel eyes glinted with defiance.

“That’s it, Crowley. Go ahead and touch me. I know you want to, don’t you?” Sam
provoked.

“What?” Crowley narrowed his eyes and stopped squeezing.

“I’ve seen the way you look at me every morning when you come to my bed and
check on me. I’ve seen the lust in your eyes when you touch me, or when you
stand by and watch me shower.”

Crowley frowned deeply and let go of Sam’s arm.

“What?! That’s ridiculous! There’s nothing like that!” he protested.

“You tell yourself that you’re just doing the job my father tells you to, and
that you take no pleasure in it. But you and I, we know better, don’t we? My
dad trusts you, and only you, with the task of reporting on my intimacy. And we
know you enjoy doing that, right Crowley?”

“You’re not making any sense,” Crowley looked absolutely baffled and took an
unconscious step back.

“Am I not? Is it such a farfetched scenario? What if I say that I know how much
you secretly want the boy you are trusted and paid to watch; that I’ve seen it
in your eyes, Crowley, and that I’ve felt it in the way you touch me.” Sam’s
heart was racing. “Remember that time your hand slid under your pants as I
showered? Why don’t you just admit that all you want is to strip me naked and
defile my virginity with your seed?”

Crowley was genuinely offended by now.

“That ain’t true! You’re crazy! I’ve never done anything!” His outrage coated
his every word, but he still managed to keep his voice down.

“Exactly. I know that. You know that. But will my father?” Sam cocked his head
to the side and smiled mischievously. “If I tell him I’m afraid his loyal
servant is harassing me, will he believe you, or me?”

And then Crowley understood what the prince was doing.

“You wouldn’t!” He sounded horrified and Sam beamed at that.

“Of course I would. I would come up with these huge scared eyes, full of
innocent fear and ask dad if it was okay that my bodyguard looked at me and
touched himself at night. I could tell him I heard things during the night, you
know.”

“There’s no way Azazel would…”

“One day he promised me no one would know, daddy,” Sam frowned and changed the
tone of his voice, as if he was full of doubt and fear as he pretended to speak
to his father. “Crowley said he could touch me and give me pleasure, and that I
could touch him too, and that it would be alright because in the morning he
could just say I had a dream…”

“No…no, you can’t do that.”

“You’re the only one who stays alone with me. Think, Crowley. I know you’re not
stupid. You’re the only one who could get away with it.”

“Why would I do that to you?”

“Because I’m the most precious thing in this world,” Sam mocked. “Isn’t it what
daddy says? If he believes I’m so damn special and that he needs to protect me
from everyone else who might want me and harm me, I don’t think he would have
any trouble believing there’s someone else who likes me. You and I have heard
the way he brags about me to his friends. He knows they all desire me. Do you
think he won’t be at least suspicious if I tell him all that?”

“Sam…”

“Do you think he’ll let you stay with me after I talk to him? If he doesn’t
believe me he’ll at least move you to an inferior position. If he does, then I
have no idea what he’ll do to you,” Sam went on. In the beginning it had seemed
like a frail plan bound to fail, but as Crowley grew increasingly distraught,
Sam grew confident that it would work.

“Either way I’d be ruined,” Crowley admitted.

“But you don’t have to be.” Sam took a deep breath and studied Crowley. “All
you have to do is live your life and keep doing what you always do, and just
ignore whatever happens during my classes. You pretend you don’t know what’s
going on, and we can both benefit from it.”

“I can’t do that! If your father finds out—”

“He won’t. Especially if I have your word not to tell.”

Crowley seemed to think hard about it, and Sam took a step closer to him and
softened his voice a little.

“Crowley… This has been going on for a while. If something had changed with me
my dad would have noticed, don’t you agree?” Sam lowered his voice. “If I had
done anything…improper…he would have tasted it by now.”

Crowley looked at the boy. He had a point. That was true and there was no
denying it. If Azazel was still drinking from his son and hadn’t noticed any
difference, then Sam was still a virgin and Crowley could relax. Of course, the
boy could have just been ridden all afternoon long by the mechanic’s son, and
Crowley wouldn’t know until Azazel drank from him again, but somehow Crowley
believed Sam when he said he didn’t do anything wrong.

“What if you’re lying? How do I know you two haven’t gone at it like bloody
rabbits until it’s too late?”

Sam’s eyes seemed blurred and his lip quivered a little. “You know because you
and I both understand what would happen to me if did that,” Sam’s throat was
tight with his memories and his fears. “If I do anything and dad finds out, you
know that whatever happens to you is probably nothing compared to what happens
to me.” Sam didn’t want to believe his father would seriously harm him if he
lost his virginity, but somehow he couldn’t escape the feeling of dread it
caused him.

Crowley took a deep breath. He supposed the boy was right, again.

“So what do you say? You didn’t see anything, Dean and I will continue to meet
during my classes, and I won’t tell my dad any crazy stories?”

Crowley pondered for a moment. He knew the prince had just discovered a source
of power over him, and he had to be careful about how much further he would
allow Sam to take it.

“There’s one condition.”

“What is it?” Sam asked.

“Nothing changes at home. I’ll still check on you same as I always did. The
routine remains the same. I won’t have your dad growing suspicious.”

Sam hadn’t really expected anything to change back home. And because his life
was so suffocating in there, he really needed to protect his time with Dean.

“I understand that.” Sam nodded. “Do we have an agreement?”

Crowley squinted his eyes and waited for a while longer before he reached out
his hand and shook Sam’s. “Alright, Prince. As you wish.”

They shook hands, but before Sam could retreat his hand, Crowley squeezed it
and spoke again.

“Promise me you won’t sleep with the mechanic’s son.”

Sam felt a chilly sensation run over him.

“You may say he’s just a friend but I’m not as easily fooled as the priest.
Promise me you won’t.”

Sam bit the inside of his bottom lip.

“I can’t promise you that.”

“Sam…”

The boy pulled his hand back and took a deep breath.

“As I said, if anything happens I have a lot more to worry about than you. Be
glad about it.”

Crowley was staring intently at Sam when they heard knocking on the door.

“Is everything alright in there?”

It was Dean’s voice. Sam’s heart thudded happily.

“Yeah,” he replied. “You can come in.”

In a moment, Bobby and Dean were walking back inside the church classroom, both
men looking warily at Crowley.

“What will happen now, Sam?” Bobby asked softly.

“Nothing,” Sam said. He looked at Crowley for a moment longer before he faced
his teacher. “Crowley and I have come to an agreement. I’ll keep coming to
classes and Dean and I can still go out. My father doesn’t need to know.”

“Are you sure he won’t rat about us?” Dean asked.

“He won’t,” Sam assured.

“Prince, this might be risky, perhaps it’s time you reconsider these meetings…”
Bobby didn’t want to disappoint the boy, but he feared for him if Crowley
didn’t keep his words and told on him.

“Nothing needs to change, Bobby. Crowley knows that some secrets are worth
keeping. He knows that trust is something really important, don’t you,
Crowley?”

“Of course, prince.” Crowley looked around at the pairs of eyes assessing him.
“I’ll be waiting for you in the car.” He bowed lightly and left.

When he was gone, Bobby walked closer to Sam and put a hand on his shoulder.

“Are you sure you can trust him to keep his mouth shut?”

“Yes. I got something he needs.”

“And what would that be?”

“Influence over Dad,” Sam’s lips curled with a cocky smile.

“Alright.” Bobby nodded. “If you say so.”

“Thanks for locking him in until I came back.”

Bobby wondered, not for the first time, why it was that he had gotten himself
in such a dire position. He thought of something to say but nothing made much
sense, so he just shook his head lightly and shrugged. “It’s okay, Sam.”

Sam turned around and looked into Dean’s eyes. He took a few steps in his
direction and Dean parted his arms to hug him. They held each other for a
moment, a mix of fear and relief racing through their hearts. The situation
with Crowley had been a cold reminder of the vulnerability of their condition.

“Will you be okay?” Dean asked softly, by Sam’s ear.

“Yeah. It’s gonna be fine. Don’t worry.” Sam loosened the embrace and looked at
Bobby once again. “Bye, Bobby. See you.”

“Bye, kid.”

Sam and Dean held the stare until the moment Sam walked out of the room and
closed the door behind him.

Bobby stared at the floor for a moment, thinking of the tight embrace he had
just witnessed.

“I’d better go, Bobby. I got some stuff to finish at my job.”

“Wait.” Bobby went closer and took Dean’s arm. Dean looked questioningly at the
older man as Bobby seemed to be looking for words. “What’s going on between Sam
and you, Dean?”

Dean’s heart raced. It felt like everyone around him was extremely interested
in the answer to that question, but whatever it was that Sam and he had, it was
very special, and Dean didn’t feel like sharing. It was risky enough without
Bobby knowing. The less he knew, the better. Dean didn’t really want to lie to
him, though.

“We’re friends, Bobby. I like him a lot. There’s something about him…I can’t
help what I feel,” Dean said, and he wasn’t lying.

“What do you do when you go out?”

“We met my friends at the beach today. Sam talked to Cas and Benny as I cleaned
up some stuff,” Dean was glad he could speak the truth about it. He could feel
Bobby relaxing at the story. “Sometimes we walk on the beach, go up some rocks.
We even went to the park once. Sam had never been near the beach before. Can
you believe he had never had ice cream until a few days ago?”

Bobby sighed and let go of Dean.

“As a matter of fact, I can.”

It was Dean’s turn to grow curious, though.

“Bobby…” Dean searched the priest’s eyes. “What do you know about him? What
really goes on in Sam’s life?” Dean felt so close to that kid, and yet, there
were times he felt like there was an abyss between them.

“I don’t know, Dean. I’m just his teacher. I have some questions, like you,
probably. But I don’t know much.”

“My dad seems to know some stuff,” Dean pointed out.

“Well then, I guess you need to go ask your old man.” Bobby walked towards the
door, opened it, and took a look at the empty church. When he turned around he
seemed weary. “Goodbye, Dean.”

Dean nodded lightly and walked out of the church, hoping that Sam was right and
everything was under control. Dean couldn’t bear the thought of not seeing him
again. Sam had way too many mysteries and Dean was looking forward to unveiling
them one by one until Sam was completely bare, in body and soul.


~ * ~


Sam was having dinner at the kitchen table when his dad walked in. Crowley was
standing in a corner, watching the scene with concealed anxiety.

“How was class today, dear?” Azazel put a hand on top of Sam’s head and
caressed his hair.

“It was good. Bobby and I talked about the ancient Egypt.” Sam made sure to
pick topics he had read plenty about, in case his dad happened to ask him
anything.

“Good. I need to go to my office and work on a few documents. It’ll probably be
very late when I’m done.”

“That’s okay. Good night, Dad.”

“Good night, sweetie.”

Sam sucked in his breath when his dad’s nose brushed suddenly against his neck.
The sharp teeth sinking into his skin caused Sam to tense, but he was able to
relax after a few seconds.

Azazel didn’t drink much. He hardly drank from Sam in a place where others
could easily see, but sometimes he just couldn’t help it. He let the sweetest
blood he had ever tasted fill his mouth and felt its warmth down his throat for
a brief moment before he retreated.

Crowley’s heart raced erratically at the scene. He would know now. If Sam had
done anything with the mechanic’s son, if Sam was no longer pure, Azazel would
discover right now, and then he would go crazy, and God forbid what he would do
when he realized Crowley had failed to—

Azazel wiped at his mouth and smiled largely. He ruffled Sam’s hair and walked
towards Crowley.

“You seem tense,” he pointed out.

“Me? Just tired, sir,” Crowley could feel himself relaxing slowly as Azazel had
definitely enjoyed Sam’s taste thoroughly.

“Take the night off, then. I’ll have someone else accompany Sam.”

Crowley swallowed hard and nodded. He felt shaky as the tension left him.

“Thank you, sir.”

“Good night, Crowley.”

“Good night.”

Crowley watched as his master left the kitchen, and then his eyes fell on the
boy.

Prince Samuel and he exchanged a silent look full of secret complicity.

Crowley nodded lightly and Sam took a deep breath. Dean and he would be good
for now, and that was enough.

In this moment of his life, Sam dared not make any plans about the future.

Chapter 17


Azazel looked deeply into Lucifer’s eyes and sighed.

“Do you know what you’re asking of me?”

“I do,” Lucifer replied calmly. “Very much.”

“Samuel is the most precious asset I have.”

“And nothing will change. You have my word.”

Azazel seemed to consider again. He was well aware of Lucifer’s instincts, but
he knew there would be consequences if he didn’t cave.

Lucifer took one step closer and stared intently into the yellow eyes watching
him.

“So?” he arched his eyebrows.

“Samuel is never alone with anyone except for me and my trusted employees,”
Azazel spoke, almost to himself.

“Do you not trust me, then?” Lucifer provoked.

“I trust you, you know that,” Azazel answered quickly. He couldn’t tell the man
who had invested millions of dollars in his career that he didn’t trust him.

“Then stop worrying. We’ll have dinner, that’s all. Nothing will happen. I just
want to get to know my future husband better.”

Azazel didn’t like the idea of Lucifer having time alone with Samuel, but there
was little he could do about it without damaging his very important
relationship with the wealthy billionaire in front of him now.

“The prince needs to be back home before midnight,” Azazel agreed, albeit
reluctantly.

“You have my word.”

“And Lucifer…”

“Yes?”

Azazel took a deep breath. There was a frown in his face, but Lucifer seemed
slightly amused at his tension.

“Samuel is…naive. You know that. I made sure to keep him safe from the world.
You might be surprised at his innocence. Please be mindful of what you say to
him.”

“Azazel…” Lucifer’s hand rested on his business associate’s shoulder. “Sam will
be safe with me. I wouldn’t dream of corrupting the beautiful work you’ve been
doing. Believe me, I’m as much in love with his chastity as I am with his
beauty. I wouldn’t dream of jeopardizing our relationship, let alone ruining my
own wedding gift.” There was a glint of delight in Lucifer’s clear eyes. “Rest
assured that our precious boy will be fine.”

“All right, then. Let me go get Crowley. He’ll instruct Samuel to get ready.”

Azazel knew he needed to do that, but deep inside he could hardly wait until
the boy was back, and he knew he would only rest easy the moment he could sink
his teeth into the prince’s sweet flesh and taste the purity in his blood.


~ * ~


“Get ready, Prince. You’re going out tonight,” Crowley announced.

“Out? Where to?” Sam frowned.

“I do not know. I was told to see to it that you were ready to leave in a few
minutes.”

Sam’s heart was racing when walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower. He
was afraid his dad had another visitor who wanted to meet him, but when Sam was
allowed to put on clothes after his shower he was a little relived.

The feeling lasted until the moment he was taken to his father’s office where
his dad and Lucifer were waiting for him.

“Dad?” Sam sounded puzzled. He knew Lucifer wasn’t a blood drinker like his
father, but somehow that was a man who still managed to give him chills.

“Hey, Samuel.” Azazel smiled softly at the boy. “Lucifer is in town for the
weekend. He asked permission to take you out for dinner. I hope you’re hungry.”
Azazel tried to hide the nervousness in his voice.

Sam’s eyes widened and Azazel could read the disbelief in them. No wonder Sam
was surprised. Azazel had never let the prince go with anyone who hadn’t known
the boy since he was a baby.

“Will Crowley come, too?” For the first time in a long time Sam wished the
answer to that would be yes.

“Not really. That won’t be necessary. Lucifer will take good care of you. He
promised me you’ll be home before your bedtime.”

Sam could read the tension in his dad’s voice. He was certain that his father
wasn’t happy at all with the prospect of letting him go. Then why was he doing
it? Why let Lucifer take him somewhere and be alone with him?

Sam didn’t understand his dad’s reasons, but that spoke volumes about his dad’s
relationship with Lucifer. Whatever it was that went on between them, Azazel
felt like he owed Lucifer something, and that was important enough for him to
grant him a privilege no one else – to Azazel’s knowledge anyway – had.

“Hi, Samuel. Would you like to have dinner with me?”

‘Hell, no’, Sam thought. The last thing he wanted right now was to be alone
with the creepy guy who had been all over him on his birthday. Yet, somehow,
Sam was perfectly aware that speaking his thoughts out loud was the last thing
either of these men wanted to hear.

“If that would please you, sir…” Sam answered as he stared at the floor.

“It would. Very much. Shall we go?”

Lucifer walked closer to him and took Sam’s hand gently. He put it on top of
his arm and smiled at him. Sam swallowed with some difficulty but was able to
smile back.

“Samuel?” Azazel called before they left his office.

“Yeah, Dad?” Sam turned his head and looked at his father.

“Be good.”

Sam understood the implication in his dad’s words and just nodded.

“He will. Don’t worry,” Lucifer added. “See you in a few hours.”

Azazel’s body was tight with tension when he saw Lucifer place a hand at Sam’s
lower back and walk them out.

Now there was nothing he could do but wait and hope and trust.


~ * ~


They arrived at Lucifer’s hotel after a brief and mostly silent drive. The
hotel was the only five star place in Glasstown, and even though Sam had never
been there, he wasn’t surprised with the luxury of the place. He wouldn’t have
expected less from Lucifer.

“You’re quiet,” Lucifer observed, his eyes always admiring the young prince.
“Is something wrong?”

“No,” Sam said quickly. He didn’t want anything to go wrong tonight. He
understood Lucifer was important enough that his father would let him be alone
with him, so Sam didn’t want to disappoint Lucifer, let alone anger his dad. “I
am quiet.”

“Is that so?”

Sam shrugged. “I don’t have a lot of people to talk to.”

“Well, tonight you can talk to me.” Lucifer winked, and Sam caught himself
thinking of Dean’s winks, and how they made him giddy inside, and how when
Lucifer did it Sam felt nothing but mild contempt. “I want to know all your
secrets,” he chuckled.

“I don’t have any,” Sam said. “It’s hard to have secrets when you’re never
alone.”

“I can imagine that. And that’s why I asked your father for some time for just
the two of us. I would like to get to know you more, Sam. I wish to learn about
your thoughts, your feelings…” Lucifer let his finger brush Sam’s cheek softly.
“your desires…”

Sam recoiled lightly and smiled awkwardly. “Right now I’m just hungry,” he
confessed.

Lucifer smiled, delighted at Sam’s every gesture and every word. “Far from me
to keep you hungry, Prince. Let’s take a look at the menu and order some room
service. I’ve heard the shrimp pesto in here is delicious. How does that
sound?”

“Like a lot of carbohydrates.”

Lucifer laughed. “Does your father control what you eat, too?”

Sam shrugged again.

“Forget about him. Tonight you eat whatever you want. Do you like pasta?”

“I do…”

“Then pasta it is. How about some wine?” Lucifer walked towards a bottle of red
wine on top of the kitchen counter.

“I really shouldn’t…” Sam’s eyes widened.

“Please…your father won’t mind it. It’s just a little. I promise you it’s
alright.”

Sam watched as Lucifer poured them two glasses of wine and offered one to him.
“Here. Try it.”

Sam hesitated. He wondered what his dad would say when he drank from him later
tonight. And Sam was certain he would drink.

“I…I can’t. Sorry…” he shook his head.

‘Sam is naïve…’ Indeed. Lucifer wanted to lick the innocence off him, but he
had promised to be patient. Someday, he told himself. Someday, in the near
future, he would be the one deflowering every layer of shyness to the core of
Sam’s very essence.

“It’s okay. Go ahead. Just one sip.”

Sam looked at the red liquid inside the glass, and it looked a lot like blood.
The thought only made him more uneasy, and it must have shown in his face
because Lucifer spoke again.

“It’s alright. Go on.”

Sam looked briefly into Lucifer’s eyes before complying. He drank a small sip
and his face twisted at the taste spreading on his tongue. “I don’t like it.”
Sam shook his head and pushed the glass away, back into Lucifer’s hand.

“That’s okay,” Lucifer smiled softly. “You don’t have to drink. I just want you
to relax. You seem tense.”

Sam didn’t say anything. He watched as Lucifer sat down on a white couch, while
still holding and sipping from his glass of wine.

“Come here. Sit with me.”

Sam didn’t move immediately. Part of him still wished he was back home. He
didn’t know what was expected of him, and he didn’t like being there.

“Your father trusts me. You should trust me, too.”

Slowly, the boy walked closer and sat down beside Lucifer. Every fiber in Sam’s
body was stiff with uneasiness, and he stared at the wall right ahead of him.
Lucifer was watching him intently when he let his hand rest on top of Sam’s
knee.

The youngster jumped, startled.

“I’m sorry.” Lucifer retreated his hand. “I don’t mean to make you
uncomfortable.”

But Sam was. Highly uncomfortable. The only person he wanted to touch him like
that was far away right now, probably selling drinks at a beach party Sam would
never be allowed to attend.

“Let’s order us some food?”

“Yes.”

“Promise you’ll try to relax?”

“I can try.”

Lucifer smiled. He let his hand cup Sam’s cheek and his fingertip grazed the
boy’s lips lightly.

“You’re a good boy, Sam. Once you get to know me, I’m sure we’ll have a lot of
fun together.”

Sam smiled courteously and looked away. Thinking of Dean and what he might be
doing right now offered him a good distraction to try and make time go by
faster.


~ * ~


Dean was behind the counter preparing the most exquisite drinks and he knew the
hot blonde in a short skirt and a bikini top was checking him out. He would
have to be a fool not to see the way she locked eyes with him as she toyed with
the straw in her drink. Dean watched her pink lips close around the straw
seductively.

His cock twitched in his pants, but Dean looked away. It had been a while now
since the last time he’d had actual sex. For the past weeks, Dean had been
jerking off as if he was in his early teens again, but that didn’t mean he
would flirt back.

He knew Sam and he didn’t really have anything serious going on. It was not
like they had a commitment. All in all, they had spent so little time together.
Anyone might have told Dean that there was no need to avoid other people. But
it wasn’t that simple.

The thought of taking someone to his shack and fucking their brains out, though
extremely tempting, didn’t really trigger Dean’s arousal the way it should. He
wanted to have sex, yes. He craved the feeling of burying his aching dick into
soft warmth until he came good and hard, but that was not all Dean wanted; he
wanted to look into Sam’s eyes when he penetrated him; he wanted to hear Sam
moan and feel his body cling to Dean’s as he lost his mind.

His need for Sam was such a big part of his arousal that Dean didn’t think he
could enjoy sex as he used to.

“Hey there… I’ve been watching you from a distance. Hope you don’t mind.” the
girl was now leaning on the counter, her blue eyes sparkling with promise.

“Oh, hey…” Dean could see the way she studied his bare arms, her eyes drawn to
the well defined muscles she admired.

“What time do you leave?”

Dean chuckled softly and looked away. It wasn’t the first time this had
happened since he had met Sam. Part of him wanted to shut down his brain and
heart and just find relief, but that part, Dean realized, was growing smaller
the more he spent time with Sam.

“I’m sorry, babe. I gotta close the bar tonight. I have no idea when that will
be. Maybe some other time, eh?”  Dean winked and smiled. He didn’t mean to be
impolite to such a beautiful girl.

“Yeah. I would like that,” she smiled, too. “Can I have another drink?”

“Of course. Here you go. On the house.” Dean made her a margarita and watched
as she turned around and left.

He sighed deeply and went back to work, unaware that a few feet away Castiel
watched the scene and grew thoughtful at what had just happened.


~ * ~


One bottle of wine later, Lucifer was still relishing Sam’s company. They had
eaten and talked, and even though Lucifer had insisted, the Prince had refused
to drink alcohol, and throughout the night Samuel had been nothing but
exceptionally well-behaved.

Sam didn’t know what time it was, but he knew he had been sitting on that couch
for about two hours, and he couldn’t wait to go home. He had talked to Lucifer
about pretty much all the subjects he knew already. They had talked about
Mythology, Psychology, scientific discoveries and famous artists from the past.
Then, Sam had listened as Lucifer went on and on about his traveling, about
different cultures and different foods and drinks. It wasn’t bad conversation
at all, and Sam might have enjoyed it more if he didn’t have the feeling that
Lucifer undressed him with his piercing eyes.

“Are you sure you don’t want some, Prince? This is the last glass of a terrific
wine.” Lucifer raised the wine glass invitingly.

“No, thank you. In fact…I don’t know the time, but I imagine it must be late…”

Lucifer didn’t say anything for a moment. He simply watched Sam’s boyish
features and his worried face. Time had passed way too quickly.

“Indeed. I must take you back home.”

Sam nodded and tried to hide how relieved he felt.

“It’s a shame our time together was so short, though.” Lucifer let his palm
rest casually on top of Sam’s. “I wish you had been able to relax more.”

Sam looked at Lucifer’s large smile so close to his face and felt slightly
edgy. He didn’t want to be rude and move away, but he tensed when Lucifer
cupped his cheek and went closer.

The boy’s hazel eyes were enticing. Lucifer saw the moment Sam’s pupils dilated
as he brought their mouths closer. The boy tried to shy away, but Lucifer
pressed the back of his neck more firmly and let his mouth cover Sam’s.

Sam’s body stiffened and his heart raced. Lucifer was kissing him, and all Sam
wanted was to move away, but Lucifer’s grip on his neck paralyzed him. Sam
could smell the wine in the older man’s breath, and feel the raspy feeling of
Lucifer’s stubble brush his chin. Sam then thought of Dean and the way it felt
when Dean kissed him, and he quickly understood that he didn’t want anyone
else, ever, to kiss him that way. When Lucifer’s tongue parted his lips to
deepen the kiss, Sam pushed him away and got to his feet.

“I… I shouldn’t. I really shouldn’t do that.” Sam looked visibly disturbed. He
wondered what his dad would say if he found out about it.

Lucifer licked at his lips, still savoring the faint taste of Sam’s lips in the
brief moment he had been able to kiss him. Now there was agitation in the boy’s
attitude, and Lucifer wondered if some of it was fear.

He got to his feet and tried to soothe the boy.

“I’m sorry. It’s okay, Sam. I didn’t mean to, I just…I couldn’t resist it,” he
explained.

“I’m not supposed to do anything,” Sam said quickly. Even though he was worried
about his dad and what Lucifer might try to do, Sam was also annoyed that
someone had done to him what only Dean could do. “My father….” Sam looked for
words to try and explain. Luckily, he didn’t need to give his real reasons as
to why he didn’t want to be kissed. All things considered, if Sam wanted
Lucifer he could definitely get away with a few kisses, because that’s exactly
what Dean and he did. But Sam didn’t; he wanted to be as far away as possible
from that man now, and he had the perfect excuse to cover up for that. “He
doesn’t let me…I can’t.”

“I know.” Lucifer nodded. “That’s okay. I’m sorry I pushed.”

Sam chewed on his bottom lip and nodded, accepting the apology.

“You’re such a special boy, you know that?” Lucifer understood what Azazel
meant about his son. The boy before him now was way too precious; his innocence
had an irresistible sweetness that could make a man lose his mind. And even
though Lucifer wanted him very much, he knew he couldn’t corrupt Samuel. Not
now. The boy’s shyness was endearing, and for now Lucifer would have to make do
with the lingering taste and the fading memory of kissing his lips.

Sam knew Lucifer was seeing him through the adoring eyes his dad sometimes
looked at him with. Part of him wished to scream that he wasn’t as innocent as
they thought him to be. Just because Sam hadn’t had sex it didn’t mean he
wasn’t smart as hell, and that he didn’t know how to use what others could see
as a weakness in his very favor. If his so called innocence was what protected
him, then Sam would gladly play this card to get what he wanted, and right now
he wanted to go home.

“Can we go? Please…” Sam looked at his feet.

“Of course, Prince. Let me get my car keys.”

The ride back home was quick, and Lucifer parked the car in front of the door
for a moment.

“I’ll have to leave town tomorrow and I don’t know when I’ll be able to come
back. Soon, I hope. And I look forward to spending more time with you,” he
said. And then, when Sam didn’t say anything, “I hope I didn’t scare you or
anything.”

“No…” Sam shook his head quickly. “It’s alright. Have a safe trip.”

Sam was about to leave the car when Lucifer took his hand and kissed it softly.

“Good night, Prince. I hope you have sweet dreams.”

“Good night,” Sam said and turned around.

Lucifer watched him go until he disappeared behind the large doors of Azazel’s
mansion.

Inside, Sam could hear the sound of Lucifer’s car driving away, and it wasn’t
long before his dad showed up in the hall.

“So…how was it?” Azazel studied Sam with a smile on his lips and an
investigative glint in his eyes.

“It was nice. I’m glad I’m home, though. I was tired.”

“Do you like Lucifer?” Azazel probed.

Sam shrugged. “He’s okay.”

“Was he respectful with you?” Azazel went closer and ran his fingers through
Sam’s hair.

“Yes, Dad.”

“Good. I trust him. He’s a good man, Samuel.”

“Can I go to bed?”

“Of course.”

Sam made for the stairs.

“Take a shower if you want. I’ll be up in a moment.”

Sam knew exactly what that meant, and although it didn’t surprise him, it did
make his heart feel heavier and tighter.

Crowley wasn’t in his room when Sam walked in, and Sam was alone when he took
off his clothes and got under the shower. It wasn’t long, though, before Sam
heard the footsteps getting near. He looked at his father standing in the
bathroom, waiting against the wall.

“I know you’re tired. I’ll be quick, don’t worry.”

Azazel parted his lips and licked at his exposed fangs.


~ * ~


As most of the people had already left the party, including Benny and his date,
Castiel helped Dean finish up so he could go, too. When they were done, they
opened a couple of beers and Castiel accompanied Dean on his way home.

They walked on the soft sand in the quiet night, hearing the waves in the near
distance.

“What was the problem with her?” Castiel asked suddenly.

“Who?”

“The girl who came on to you in the bar. She looked smoking.”

“Oh…” Dean ran an absent hand through his hair. “She was. I’m just not in the
mood.”

“It’s because of Sam, isn’t it?”

“No…” Dean shook his head without much conviction. “I just don’t feel like it.”

“Cut it out. You always feel like it. Besides, you haven’t been with anyone
since you started meeting Azazel’s son.” Cas finished his beer and disposed of
it. “Look, I don’t mean to meddle, I’m just worried about you, that’s all.”

‘He’s jealous,’ Sam had said. Dean could hear Sam’s voice as if he was there.

“You don’t have to be.”

“Yes, I do. You tell yourself this is just fun and all, but you gotta
understand this is more serious than you imagine.”

“Cas…I don’t even know what’s going on between Sam and me. For all I know we’re
just friends with benefits.”

“Are you sure about that? That you don’t know what’s happening?”

“Yeah! It’s confusing, really. I don’t really know…”

Castiel shut Dean with an unexpected kiss. Suddenly, Dean felt his friend’s
body pressed against his, and Cas wasted no time to deepen the kiss.

Dean’s thoughts rushed and he looked confused when he broke them up.

“What’s going on?” Dean frowned.

“Nothing. We’re just friends, you know. I’m horny. I know you haven’t gotten
some in a while. So why don’t we head back to the shack and work something
out?” Cas kissed Dean again and let his hand travel lower. There was a firm
erection between Dean’s legs which he cupped and stroked through the fabric.

“Cas… wait.” Dean put his hand on top of his friend’s to still it.

“C’mon. Just tonight. Like we’ve done before. You can fuck me good, we both get
off, and that’s it. Just some fun. What do you say?” Castiel nibbled at Dean’s
lips.

Dean shut his eyes for a moment as his body grew hotter with desire. It
would’ve been so easy to shut everything else down, but even when Dean closed
his eyes there was a face on his mind, a face that reminded him of why he
needed to stop that.

“Cas.” Dean pushed his friend away softly but firmly. “I can’t do this. I’m
sorry.”

Castiel smiled knowingly. He had known that. Not that he didn’t find Dean
attractive, and he would be lying if he said he had never thought about their
night together again, but Castiel was testing his friend, and Dean had just
proved him right.

“Then I guess you already know how you feel about Sam.”

“What do you mean?” Dean felt his heart racing.

“Don’t be a fool, Dean. You know exactly what’s going on.”

Dean swallowed hard. His throat was dry and his blood was rushing.

“I love you, you know that, right? And I’ll always support you. But you gotta
admit to yourself that things got out of hand here. You know how you feel.
You’re having trouble admitting it because you’ve never felt this way before.”

“Cas, I don’t know what you…”

“Yes.” Cas planted a soft kiss to Dean’s mouth and smiled. “Yes, you do. You
know, Dean.”

They looked at each other in silence for a moment.

“Good night.”

Dean watched as Castiel turned around and started to make his way back towards
the bar.

Alone, Dean looked up at the stars, smiled and took a deep breath. It felt like
his heart would burst inside his chest.

Yes, he thought. Cas was right.

He did know.

Chapter 18



Crowley parked the car and looked over his shoulder as Sam got his backpack in
the back seat.

“I’m going into the church, and then I’ll probably leave with Dean. Are we
good?” he asked before opening the car door.

“Yes, prince. I’ll wait here.” Actually, it was not good, and there were a lot
of things Crowley wanted to argue, but he knew how that conversation was going
to end. If Azazel could drink from his son as if nothing was going on, then
Crowley might as well turn a blind eye and avoid trouble for himself.

“I’ll see you later.”

Sam left the car and walked into the church. Bobby was waiting for him in the
aisle.

“Sam. I’m glad you could come.”

It had been almost a week since their last class, and Bobby was beginning to
worry that something bad had gone down after Crowley’s discovery.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t come before.”

“Is everything…alright?”

“Yes. Crowley’s been handled. He won’t be a problem.”

“I’m glad to hear that. But perhaps that happened for a reason, you know. Maybe
we should reconsider the risks…”

“Is he here already?” Sam cut Bobby off. He didn’t have time for that. He
hadn’t seen Dean in what felt like a long time. There had been the dinner with
Lucifer and his dad’s blood feeding, nights of longing and hours that seemed to
drag on and on, and right now all Sam wanted was to be with Dean and forget
about the world.

Bobby sighed.

“Yes, prince. In the classroom.”

Bobby watched as Sam rushed towards it.

Dean had been apprehensive. Sam hadn’t shown up for his last class. Dean feared
something might have happened after Sam and Crowley had left the church, and
that the watchdog had told on them. Dean’s thoughts had been working on some
sort of plan to see the boy again, but all his fears vanished when Sam opened
the door and looked at him.

Dean thought his heart would burst. He could feel a smile spreading on his lips
when they locked eyes.

“Hey, Sam.”

“Hi.” Sam became instantly aware of his heartbeats, and if it weren’t for his
also being aware of Bobby’s presence, he might have done something stupid.
“Bobby?”

“I know. Have fun.”

Sam didn’t even turn around. He just followed Dean when he opened the backdoor
in the classroom and disappeared with him down the secret passage out of the
church.


~ * ~


“Where are we going today?” Sam pulled at Dean’s hand as he led them ahead.

Dean stopped on his tracks in the middle of the corridor and looked into Sam’s
eyes.

“Where do you want to go?” something in Sam’s voice told Dean the younger one
had an idea.

Sam knew where he didn’t want to go. He didn’t want to share Dean with other
people. He missed him, and he wanted to spend all the time they had with him.
Yes, it was dangerous and irresponsible to be alone with him, but right now Sam
didn’t care. If they could just sit beside each other and do nothing, just the
two of them, Sam would be pleased.

“Do you have to work?”

Dean's smile was small but positively wolfish. He understood what was going on
in Sam’s head, at least some of it. He too wanted to spend time with him and
not with his friends or anybody else.

“Not today.”

Sam felt a spike of excitement travel his body. His relief and his joy were
visible to Dean, even in the darkness of the place.

“Do you wanna go to my place?” he asked.

Sam only waited briefly before nodding.

Dean smiled again, largely this time, and he closed the distance to plant his
lips above Sam’s.

They kissed for a long moment, and when they moved again towards the street
outside the church they were both breathless with anticipation.

The two of them walked quickly towards the beach and towards Dean beach cabin.
When they were inside, Dean locked the door and they stood before each other.

Sam could feel that his breathing had become deeper and slightly louder. He let
his eyes trail over Dean’s body and suddenly he remembered the time they went
swimming together. Dean had been naked in front of him. Sam shut his eyes and
took a deep, calming breath.

Dean tried to pay attention to Sam’s reactions because he didn’t want to push
him. Yet, if Sam had agreed to come to the shack, Dean thought that a little
bit of teasing would be harmless. He took off his shirt and looked intently at
the boy.

Sam’s response didn’t disappoint. His eyes drank in the sight of Dean’s naked
chest and the muscles in his abdomen. Dean’s skin was tanned and Sam could see
a few blond hairs bellow his navel.

“Take a seat,” Dean offered.

Sam looked around. He didn’t see any chairs.

“The bed,” Dean chuckled. “That’s where I usually sit.”

“Oh, okay.” Sam sat by the edge of the bed. He was a bit tense, but it wasn’t a
bad feeling at all.

“So, what did you do during this time we didn’t meet?”

Sam thought about the dinner with Lucifer.

“I studied and finished the book I was reading.” Sam bit down on his lip
absently. “I also had dinner with someone who I think likes me.”

Dean frowned. “Is that so?”

“Yeah. He kissed me.”

“Oh.” Dean wasn’t prepared for the wave of heated jealously that wrapped around
his heart and squeezed it. His smile faded as he walked towards the headboard
and sat against it, right before Sam. “Did you like it?...”

“Of course not,” Sam answered readily and with a twinge of indignation. “It
wasn’t you.” His answer had so much sincerity and he spoke it so matter-of-
factly that Dean had to smile.

“Is it better when I kiss you, then?” Dean’s eyes searched into Sam’s hazel
eyes and he curled a finger below his chin to lift his face.

Sam nodded. “I don’t want anyone else to kiss me.”

“That’s good.” Dean could feel his chest grow warm with approval. “I don’t
either.” He leaned in and took Sam’s lips into a soft kiss.

Sam felt the tip of Dean’s tongue run over his bottom lip and he closed his
eyes to enjoy the feeling. When Dean’s tongue massaged his slowly, Sam felt the
goosebumps break in the crook of his arms.

Dean broke the kiss, even though he didn’t want to. He looked into Sam’s eyes
when he spoke.

“I was kissed, too.”

“You were?” Sam studied Dean and how gorgeous he looked. Of course he had been
kissed. And a lot more had probably happened as well. The kind of stuff Sam
couldn’t give him.

“I didn’t meant for it to happen. My friend Cas kissed me a couple of nights
ago.”

“I told you he seemed jealous.”

“I know. But I don’t think it’s about jealously. Cas is a good friend, and he
was trying to make a point.”

Sam frowned. Dean sighed.

“Did you…did you and him…?” Sam chewed on the inside of his bottom lip and
looked at the sheets covering the bed.

“No. Nothing happened. He just made me realize something.”

Even though Sam knew it wasn’t fair to deny Dean the possibility of having
something he could not give him, hearing that made him happy.

“What was it?”

“That I couldn’t wait to be with you again.” Dean’s green eyes were now serious
and intent, and when Dean cupped Sam’s cheek and pulled him in for another
kiss, there was something fiery in his touch, something that made Sam’s blood
rush to his lower belly with anticipation.

‘It’s just a little kissing. It’s okay.’ Sam told himself when Dean took over
the kiss. He closed his eyes and parted his mouth willingly for Dean to
explore. The older man kissed Sam at leisure, and by the time Dean’s lips moved
towards Sam’s neck, the boy was already hard inside his pants.

“Dean…” Sam whispered softly with anticipation. He knew what Dean was going to
do, where his lips were going to land and the feeling it would cause when—“Mm…”
Sam shivered when Dean’s lips locked on the sensitive spot where his shoulder
and neck met. Dean’s tongue teased the skin there, then he blew lightly at the
wetness he had created, his hot breath tickling and eliciting goosebumps.

Sam panted. His dick throbbed and he bucked lightly.

“You’re sensitive here…” Dean whispered and looked into Sam’s eyes.

“I…I can’t help it,” Sam confessed.

“Who said I want you to?” Dean smiled and closed his lips on Sam’s neck again.

This time Dean’s hands grabbed at Sam’s body and held him close. “Mm.” Sam
squirmed under the ticklish feeling and the arousal building up fast.

Dean let his lips work while his hands went for the hem of Sam’s T-shirt.

The moment Sam felt the tug as Dean tried to pull his shirt off, Sam put his
hands above Dean’s quickly to stop him.

When Dean looked at Sam’s hands on top of his he also lay eyes on the bulge in
the boy’s jeans.

Sam was breathing loudly when they looked at each other.

“I’ve seen you shirtless before, remember?” Dean licked at his lips and smiled
expectantly.

That was true. But at the same time, that was different.

“Relax, Sammy… You know you can stop me whenever you want, okay?”

Yes, but could Sam stop himself?

He felt his hands relax and let Dean take his shirt off. The moment Dean’s
hands were in contact with his naked chest, Sam shuddered.

“You’re so fucking beautiful…” Dean’s eyes looked glassy with desire. His
fingers groped and teased, and soon Sam was having to bite down hard on his
bottom lip not to release the sounds building up within.

Dean sucked lightly at Sam’s collar bone as his fingers flicked over Sam’s hard
nipples. When his mouth trailed lower and closed around one of the tight little
nubs, Sam writhed in his arms and tried to pull him away at the same time he
arched into the feeling.

“Oh. Oh.” Sam throbbed in his pants and he felt wetness gather at his tip. It
was going too far and it felt too good.

Dean licked at Sam’s other nipple and flicked his tongue against it. Sam’s
breath was messy and his gasps and soft little whimpers filled the place.

Sam knew he was going to come if he didn’t stop it. It was already taking
everything he had not to lose control.

Dean’s fingers went for the button in Sam’s jeans, but Sam’s hand covered the
fumbling fingers and held at them.

“Please…” Sam shook his head. His body was as tight as a bow, but he needed to
be rational. He knew the consequences of losing control.

Dean’s lips let go of Sam’s skin and he looked into the boy’s pained features.
He wanted to touch him, desperately, but maybe there was something else he
could do.

Dean let go of Sam and placed his fingers on top of his own bulge. Sam followed
the movement and his eyes focused on the cloth covered erection between Dean’s
legs.

“Do you want to see me? Like at the beach?”

Sam licked at his lips and nodded. Yes. He wanted that. That was much safer
than what was going on. He could look at Dean. He could…he could touchDean and
that would be okay, too.

Dean smiled and opened the button in his jeans. He got up just enough so he
could slide his pants and underwear off, and then he sat against the headboard
where he was before, only this time his cock was stiff and standing taut
against his lower belly.

Sam couldn’t look away. Dean was right there, just a few feet away from him,
naked. And hard. Sam looked at the swollen head of his cock and felt himself
pulse in response.

“Do you want to touch me?” Dean was the one breathless with anticipation now.
His throat was dry as he stared at Sam and waited.

Sam nodded. He was so eager that his fingers were unsteady. He reached out his
hand but stayed in the middle of the way until Dean’s fingers met his. Then,
Dean took Sam’s fingers in his and gently led their hands towards his cock.
Dean released Sam’s fingers when they touched his skin, and he felt the boy
close his hand into a fist around his hard-on.

Sam closed his eyes and a tremor raked him, almost visibly. Dean was thick and
hot against his palm, and when Sam moved his hand tentatively he could feel the
pulse as more blood rushed to Dean’s cock.

Dean closed his eyes and tossed his head back lightly. His lips parted and he
smiled lustfully when Sam’s fingers raked the skin of his dick and then grazed
at his tip.

Sam felt wetness against his fingertips when he touched the tip of Dean’s
erection. He wouldn’t have been able to see the look of sheer lust in his eyes
when he did so. What Sam really wanted was to take his fingers to his mouth and
taste them, and then smell Dean. But he knew that the contact of his saliva
with Dean’s liquid arousal could put him in trouble.

“Is it okay?” Sam asked, studying Dean’s face. He didn’t know exactly what to
do. He felt at Dean’s engorged dick with as much arousal as curiosity. Sam
wasn’t allowed to touch his own cock when it was hard like that, so for him it
was all extremely new and fascinating.

“Hell yeah,” Dean chuckled, the sound low and gritty in his throat.

The way the boy was touching him was, to say the least, unique. Sam let his
fingers slide up and down Dean’s shaft and he squeezed a little, too. It was
almost as if he wasn’t sure of what to do.

“Do you think I can I get you off like this?” Sam asked, genuinely interested.

“Definitely…” Dean laughed lightly. Given his almost permanent state of arousal
it wouldn’t take him long to come.

Sam seemed to consider that for a moment.

“What do you like? What should I do?” Sam looked at his hand wrapped around
Dean’s hard dick.

Dean thrust lightly into Sam’s hand and felt a spike of pleasure pierce him.

“The same you do to yourself will work.”

Sam felt a twinge of apprehension. He closed his hand more firmly and stroked.

“Like…like this?”

“Yeah.” Dean opened his clouded eyes and looked at Sam. “You know when you’re
doing it to yourself? Just do the same to me.” Dean instructed. “How do you
like it?”

“I don’t know…”

Sam shrugged. Dean saw the movement and his eyes narrowed.

Dean tilted his head lightly and studied the boy.

“How do you usually jerk off, Sam?”

“I don’t—” Sam blurted but decided quickly not to go on.

Suddenly, there was tension in Sam, a different kind of tension, and he let go
of Dean’s cock.

“Are you telling me you don’t touch yourself?” Dean gasped with a small grin of
disbelief.

Sam’s fingers grasped fistfuls of sheets before he even knew what he was doing.
His throat felt tight and, to his horror, Sam realized he was on the verge of
crying out of embarrassment. Maybe he was the ridiculously innocent boy
everyone else seemed to see in him. The way Dean was looking at him now, Sam
just wished he could disappear.

“Sam?” Dean frowned.

“No…” Sam shook his head.

“You don’t? But if you don’t have sex, then how do you handle the pressure?”

Sam swallowed hard and his eyes strayed with increasing agitation. Dean still
couldn’t believe that revelation. It seemed impossible.

 “I mean, seriously? Not ever?”

‘Never again after the first time…’ Sam thought and shuddered. He saw the way
Dean’s eyes were fixed questioningly at him, and Sam felt exposed and ashamed,
and he tried to move away because he couldn’t stand being looked at like that
anymore. He wanted to die when he felt the burning of his cheeks.

“Hey, hey…where are you going?” Dean held Sam’s hand before he could move away.

“I…I shouldn’t…”

“Why? Are you not allowed to masturbate or something?” Dean sounded surprised
and amused.

Sam thought he would cry. The beginning of questions was also the beginning of
the end. The moment Dean started asking questions Sam could not answer, he knew
their meetings could no longer happen.

At the moment Sam was too upset to speak. He made as if he would get up but
Dean held his wrist gently yet firmly. When they locked eyes, Dean could see
that Sam’s eyes were shining, as if tears were about to fall off them.

Part of Dean was just in shock. What kind of stuff went on in that boy’s life?
Did he have some kind of problem? Was he sick? A thousand questions and weird
thoughts crossed his mind, but Dean pushed them all away in a second.

“Hey, it’s okay…shh…relax…”

Sam still made as if he might move, but then Dean went closer and pressed their
foreheads together. The moment he did that, Sam stopped trying to release
himself and just went still, breathing rapidly.

Dean’s fingers massaged the back of Sam’s neck and his lips nibbled at his
mouth. He did that lovingly and slowly, and after a few minutes he could feel
Sam loosen up a little.

“Here…” Dean looked down between their bodies and found Sam’s hand again. “Do
you want me to show you?” He put Sam’s hand on his erection once again. “I can
teach you how to make me come.”

Sam nodded. Relief and arousal made him so thankful he couldn’t form words.

Dean understood he shouldn’t ask any more questions. Sam was uneasy, but he was
still aroused. When he made the younger boy wrap his fingers around his cock
and covered his hand with his larger one, Dean could feel Sam slide back into
the mood and relax considerably.

“Like this…” Dean covered Sam’s hand and stroked his cock up and down. “You
start slow like this…and then you speed it up.”

Sam felt it was hard to swallow. His heart was racing as he looked between
their bodies at the way their hands worked on Dean’s cock. He could feel Dean’s
fingers guiding his movements, and he could feel the way his heart thudded in
his chest at the feeling of doing that.

Dean shut his eyes and frowned as the pleasure built. His hips started to move
rhythmically into Sam and his hands, and soon he was urging Sam to stroke him
faster.

“Mm, fuck…” Dean cursed and licked at his lips.

Sam was fascinated at the sight. He didn’t know what appealed to him the most.
He wanted to memorize everything, every detail of Dean’s face—his handsome
features tight in concentration as he neared his peak—and Sam wanted to
remember exactly how it was to feel Dean’s hot dick sliding against his palm.

“Sam…yeah, just keep it up.”

Sam obeyed. He let Dean’s hand pick up the rhythm and waited, hungrily, for the
moment Dean would have an orgasm in front of him.

Dean’s fluttering eyelids opened and he was able to smile in the haze of
pleasure taking over.

“Do you like to watch me?”

Sam nodded. His lips parted lightly and his eyes were clouded.

Dean’s muscles flexed as his movements picked up speed.

“I’m gonna come, Sam. Fuck. I’m gonna come. Mm…” Dean panted rapidly and Sam’s
eyes widened in preparation. There was a muffled moan as Dean’s body bent
forwards. Sam marveled at the way he felt Dean’s cock stiffen and pulse against
his palm. Then there was hot seed covering Sam and Dean’s fingers, and Sam
looked at everything with his full attention.

Dean stroked himself a few more times and enjoyed the shuddering aftermath of
his orgasm. When he released Sam’s hand and looked into the boy’s eyes, he had
a happy, sedated smile on his face.

Sam smiled, too. He could feel Dean’s come drying on his skin, and for some
reason that caused his heart to beat erratically faster.

“Did you like that?” Sam had longing in his eyes. He wondered what it must feel
like to be able to experience that kind of pleasure whenever it was needed or
simply wanted. Dean was lucky. Everyone else was lucky.

“Fuck, yeah. You made me feel so good.” Dean touched Sam’s cheek with the back
of his clean hand. Then, he let his eyes trail lower until they landed on the
bulge still evident within Sam’s pants. “Let me do the same for you…” Dean
squeezed Sam’s thigh and his hand went up towards his crotch.

Sam’s face shifted immediately and he shook his head.

“It’s alright. I’ll just touch you. Nothing else needs to happen,” Dean
reassured him. It was not like they needed to have sex or anything. It was just
a hand job, like Sam had just helped him with. What was the problem with that?

“Please…no…” Sam whispered. He didn’t want to answer questions and he didn’t
want to feel ashamed. He was still aroused, but it would go away. He was so
happy he had been able to touch Dean and give him pleasure, he didn’t want to
ruin the moment by being reminded of his own limitations.

“Alright.” Dean wouldn’t insist. He still remembered the look in Sam’s eyes
from a few moments before, when he had asked him questions he didn’t want to
answer. “Just give me a moment then.”

“Where are you going?” Sam asked when Dean got up from the bed and walked into
the bathroom.

He came back with a wet cloth he used to wipe himself clean.

“Give me your hand.”

Sam did as told and watched as Dean cleaned his come off his skin.

Sam watched Dean go back into the bathroom and return a moment later. The older
man was still naked when he sat back down where he was before, in bed right in
front of Sam.

“We still got some time,” Dean pointed out.

Sam feared the questions would come back now. And his hesitance was so palpable
that Dean could read it in his face.

“Do you want to just…hug and not say anything for the next hour?” he watched
the moment Sam let out the breath he had been holding with evident relief. When
Sam nodded and smiled, Dean felt his heart was hopeless. Castiel was right.
This had already gone too far. “Come here then.” Dean opened his arms and Sam
went closer to settle between them.

Sam felt the warmth of Dean’s naked chest against his back, and the comforting
tightness of his arms around his torso.

'This', Sam thought, 'this is what I want.' It wasn’t asking for much, was it?

Sam closed his eyes and nestled his head against Dean’s neck. He could smell
the faint trace of sweat and cologne, and Sam let the tip of his nose graze the
skin lightly.

Dean’s fingers ran through Sam’s hair and softly down his neck. His left hand
traced invisible patterns on the skin of Sam’s naked arm as the boy breathed
peacefully in his arms.

That day there were no more questions.

Not even the fact that Sam was sexually frustrated could get in the way of how
happy he felt.

Sam was used to being denied pleasure. Dean made him feel something Sam wasn’t
really familiar with, though.

Resting in Dean’s arms, in the silence of the house, and feeling his soft
caresses and the warmth of their embrace, Sam felt something he had never truly
felt before.

He felt safe.

Chapter 19



Sam tried but he couldn’t stop thinking about Dean during his weekend. He had
no class on either Saturday or Sunday, which had given him time to play
everything that had happened in Dean’s beach cabin at least a thousand times by
now.

Sam’s thoughts went from the deliriously arousing memory of Dean’s cock, hot
and velvety as Sam stroked it, to the feeling of Dean’s arms wrapped around
him, and the silence that comforted them for a while.

His heart drummed at the memories, and sometimes the feeling was so intense it
seemed to pierce through his heart and Sam thought he might scream. Not because
it was a bad feeling, but because it was so good it hurt.

“Do you need anything, Prince?” Crowley’s voice pulled him out of his reverie.

Sam shook his head and sighed deeply. He took off his robe and stood by the
pool in his bathing shorts. It was the end of the afternoon, and Sam thought he
could use the exercise. He jumped into the water and dove under it as Crowley
sat in a corner of the room and watched, uninterested.

Beneath the water, Sam could still see the same images, it didn’t matter how
tight he squeezed his eyes; he could still see it when Dean had climaxed,
covering Sam’s hand with something he had never felt before.

Back in the surface, Sam took a deep breath and pulled his hair off his eyes
and forehead. His cock throbbed at the thought of Dean and he in bed, and of
the way Dean taught him how to masturbate him until he had an orgasm, right
there, so Sam’s hungry eyes could see every moment of him losing control.

Sam swallowed hard and started to swim. He needed to have release so bad he
could hardly concentrate on any of his daily tasks.

Dean’s company was both a blessing and a curse. It was the best thing in his
life right now, the most amazing feeling he had ever felt, and yet, it was also
a source of anguish. Sam was familiar with the feeling of denied release.
Nowadays, however, that feeling was much more powerful and a lot more painful.
Thinking of Dean put him in a state of permanent arousal.

If only he could masturbate, just once, just to know what it feels like, just
to get some relief…

I do know what it feels like.

The thought invaded his brain and Sam shuddered. He stopped swimming and felt
his breath was short, and he was well aware that the exercise had little to do
with it.

One day Sam had known what it felt like. One day, some years ago, he had
experienced hot arousal for the first time in his life, and it had all started
right there, in the same swimming pool where he found himself right now.

Sam held his breath and went under the water again. He opened his eyes below
the surface and could see the underwater pool light cut its way through the
crystal clear water. Sam shut his eyes and dove in deeper, and when he opened
his eyes…


~ * ~


Four years ago…


…when Sam opened his eyes below the surface of the water his heart raced.

Right above the surface there was noise and laughter, and the water sports they
had been practicing since the early afternoon. When Sam dove in deeper, though,
all that sound was just a fading echo being wrapped in the silence of the
deeper water.  It didn’t matter, because when Sam opened his eyes he couldn’t
care less about the talk going on at the surface.

The twelve year old boy stared intently at the pair of smooth thighs moving
quickly in the water. Sam could barely understand why it was so interesting,
but the moment his eyes had discovered Meg’s thighs and the way her black
bikini fit just perfectly on her round little butt, Sam kept finding excuses to
dive again and stare some more.

Whatever was going on with him, it had started a while ago. Sam had been having
weird dreams, and during these dreams he had experienced new and exciting
feelings.

Meg had been his friend since they were kids, and even though they didn’t spend
a lot of time together anymore, every now and then they would be allowed to see
each other and play. Sam had never paid her any more attention than he did his
toys or anyone else around him. That summer, however, something felt different.
He no longer saw Meg all the time, so when he looked at her walking around in a
black bikini, Sam realized something had been changing. Meg looked less like a
little girl and more like a young woman. She was only a bit older than him, but
Sam would have to be a fool not to notice the smooth curve of her hips and the
small volume increasing in her chest.

At first it had been nothing but curiosity. Sam stared at Meg a few times, just
because it was different, just because it was interesting, but then the dreams
had begun.

The first time Sam felt something unbelievably good, he had woken up to find
his underwear wet and sticky, and he had no idea what had just happened. All he
knew was that he had dreamed about something very good, a hot kind of good,
even if he couldn’t quite remember what it was.

That morning, as his dad came into his room to wake him up, Sam hardly
understood why he covered himself quickly, but he did. He knew, instinctively,
that whatever had happened during the night was something he wanted to keep
private.

“Morning, my sweet prince. Did you sleep well?”

“I did.”

“Good. Go take a shower and get ready for your day. They’re waiting for you in
the kitchen with your breakfast.”

Sam made as if he would move but Azazel held his wrist gently.

The boy waited patiently as Azazel took his hand and toyed with his fingers.
Sam watched his dad take two of his forefingers and place them gently on top of
his lips. The sharp little bite came soon after, and Sam only flinched briefly
when his father’s sharp teeth pierced the balls of his fingers and he drank.

A bitter taste hit Azazel’s tongue almost instantly, and he let Sam’s fingers
slip out of his mouth quickly. He frowned. Could that be? So soon…his baby boy
was only twelve. Could that taste in his mouth really mean that puberty was
right there, just around the corner?

“Samuel?”

“Yeah?” Sam looked so innocently at him. Azazel didn’t want to believe what his
senses were telling him.

“Do you have something you want to tell Daddy? Hmm?”

Sam shrugged and seemed at a loss. “Like what?”

“I don’t know. Anything you might consider interesting. Anything that has
happened recently…anything unusual,” he probed.

“No, not really, Dad.”

Azazel stared deeply into Sam’s hazel eyes, but there was nothing there. If the
boy had started to do what boys his age were bound to, then he didn’t really
see it as a problem. Yet.

“Alright, sweetie. Go shower and meet Mrs. Higgs downstairs.”

Azazel watched as Sam got up from the bed and disappeared inside the bathroom.

When the boy was gone, Azazel pulled the sheets off the bed and ran a hand over
them. There didn’t seem to be anything suspicious there, so he waited.

Sam left the shower a few minutes later and left the room. Azazel walked into
the bathroom, where he could still smell the perfumed mist the boy had left
behind. He found what he was looking for and picked up Sam’s underwear.

Azazel took the silky fabric to his nose and he shuddered at the scent. Not his
baby boy…not so soon. Why couldn’t Samuel be oblivious for a bit longer? Azazel
dreaded the moment he would have to discipline the boy. He let his tongue touch
the fabric, and when he tasted the same bitterness in his tongue he had
experienced from Sam’s blood, he knew he had to take action.

He left the room quickly, looking for the employee who could help him with the
prince.

“Crowley?!”


~ * ~


Crowley met Azazel in his office behind closed doors. He stood still and
watched his master pace back and forth behind his desk. Then, a moment later,
Azazel let a pair of white briefs fall on top of the desk.

“Samuel.”

Crowley frowned. What did Azazel mean by that?

“I’m sorry, sir?”

“It has begun, Crowley. I’m afraid Samuel is having impure thoughts that may
taint his innocence.”

Crowley looked more closely at the underwear, and even though there was nothing
there for him to see, he began to understand what Azazel was getting at.

“Have you seen something, my lord?”

“Not yet. Have you?”

“No.” Crowley shook his head.

Back at that time, Sam didn’t have twenty-four-seven surveillance. He was with
someone most of the time, but he had a few moments of privacy. He could shower
alone, and even though there was usually someone, mostly Crowley, checking on
him during the night, Sam spent more of his sleep unwatched in his bedroom.

“Then I guess it’s time we open our eyes. I tasted something this morning. I
need to know if he’s touching himself. I need to catch him in the act. Let me
know if you see or hear anything unusual concerning him.”

“I will.” Crowley nodded obediently. “Anything else?”

“No, that would be all. No go and keep an eye on him.”


~ * ~


It was the fifth time in a row that Sam dove under the water to check Meg’s
legs and ass out. This time, when he returned to the surface to take a deep
breath, Sam felt his blood rushing to his groin, and in a few seconds he was
growing hard. The sensation was still somewhat new and intriguing. Sam had
never before felt his dick throb with arousal, and he relished the feeling for
a brief moment.

Then, as if he remembered something important, he looked around quickly,
mortified that anyone could tell what was happening to him. They couldn’t know.
The water covered him up to his shoulders, so there was no way anyone could see
the way Sam’s bathing shorts were forming a tent in his midsection, and there
was absolutely no way anyone could tell how good he felt about it.

“Hey! Get the ball! Stop daydreaming!” Meg was yelling at him. There were a
couple more kids, employee’s children, who were allowed to play with them, and
they all laughed when the ball zoomed past Sam’s head without eliciting a
reaction.

“Oops. Sorry.” Sam smiled embarrassedly and went for the ball. Most of his days
he felt really lonely. His father hardly allowed anyone else to interact with
him, except for Meg every now and then. During the summer, though, Azazel
sometimes permitted a few trusted employees to bring a kid or two to play in
the pool. Usually, it would be the most exciting time of Sam’s entire summer.
Right now, though, what he really wanted was to be alone.

For the next few minutes, unaware that he was being closely watched by his
dad’s loyal employee, Sam tried to forget the feeling burning between his
crotch so he could walk out of the water and go to his room. Sam didn’t know
exactly what he was going to do, but he thought about the dream he had had this
week, and he knew he wanted to be alone.

When he felt his dick had softened again, Sam made up an excuse about being
tired and left the pool. He didn’t pay Crowley any heed, because he had no
reason to. He didn’t realize he was being followed by very attentive eyes, the
dark eyes of someone who got up to inform Azazel as soon as Sam was gone.


~ * ~


Sam walked into the mansion in his quickly drying bathing suit and without a
shirt. He knew he had to change, but right now he had other plans. He climbed
the stairs quickly to the second story.

In his room, Sam looked around to make sure there was no one near him before
closing the door a little. He didn’t really shut the door, or lock it, because
he knew his father didn’t approve of it, but he closed it enough so that it
would be hard to see what was going on inside his room.

The moment he found himself alone, Sam rushed to the side of the bed and sat on
the floor, his back resting against the mattress. That way, he thought, if
anyone walked in they wouldn’t be able to see him straight away, and that would
give him time to stop whatever it was that he was about to do.

Sam took a deep breath and thought of the images he had seen below the water.
His dick hardened instantly, and within a few seconds it was pressing, hard and
hot against Sam’s lower belly.

Right now Sam did what he couldn’t have done before, in the pool. He reached
his right hand into his bathing suit and wrapped his fingers around his
erection. The feeling was so good it made him shudder, and Sam’s lips parted in
a delighted smile. Thatwas what he wanted. He realized it now, as he let his
hand move tentatively, that this was exactly what he had longed to do back at
the pool, as he stared at his former childhood friend’s naked thighs.

With his eyes tightly shut, Sam explored the feeling of pleasure growing inside
of him. He hardly knew what he was doing, and there was more fumbling than
fisting, but everything felt good, and he didn’t want to stop. He thought of
his dream and of the amazing feeling he had felt during it, and then he thought
of the pool and Sam knew there was a chance he would feel that again. It was
right there, building inside of him, the pleasure growing and expanding, his
dick getting harder and hotter, and Sam’s fingers were a little wet but that
was good, because when they became slick they slid more easily and the friction
was amazing.

“Mmm…” Sam bit down on his lip to muffle the sound as his fist worked harder.
He never heard the door opening. He never heard the smooth, silent footsteps of
the vampire walking into his room. Sam was chasing the promise of a delicious
explosion, and he didn’t think there was anything capable of stopping him now.


~ * ~


Azazel had been tipped off by Crowley, and he waited a moment before making his
move. He wanted to make sure he knew what was going on before he did what he
had to do. When he went upstairs and found the almost closed door to Samuel’s
room, his heart sank with realization.

He opened the door slowly, and the boy wouldn’t have heard him not even if he
had wanted to. Azazel was a killer, a predator perfected over hundreds of years
of existence. He moved towards the naked shoulders and the head of brown hair
resting against the bed, and when he could see Sam’s entire body, he also saw
the boy’s face tight in concentration as he jerked himself off greedily.


~ * ~


“Samuel.”

Never had the sound of someone’s voice startled him that much. Sam’s eyes shot
open, his hand flew from under his clothes so quickly the waistband made a
loud, elastic noise as it closed against his skin. Sam’s heart suffered an
intense discharge of adrenaline that made his throat constrict and his limbs
grow shaky.

“Dad!” Sam’s pupils dilated with shame and shock, and he couldn’t believe that
was happening. The hot, inviting feeling from before was suddenly replaced by
guilt and shame, and the throbbing from before was soon becoming just a vague
feeling between his legs.

“What were you doing, Samuel?”

Sam’s breath grew short. He shook his head. “Nothing…I didn’t…” He didn’t know
what he was doing, but he knew he didn’t want to get caught.

“Have you done this before?”

Sam shook his head vehemently. He didn’t like the way his dad was staring at
him.

“Are you sure? This is the first time you touch yourself like that?”

Sam felt his cheeks burn and he couldn’t find his voice. He was so ashamed he
couldn’t move.

“Samuel?”

He nodded quickly.

“Are you lying to me?”

“No. I’m not. I’ve never…”

Azazel sighed deeply and reached out his hand to help Sam get up. “Sit on the
bed,” he instructed.

Sam was highly uncomfortable and experiencing growing apprehension when he did
as told. Azazel sat right beside him, and Sam’s body stiffened in response.

“Do you have any idea the kind of consequences this act will have upon you?”
Azazel kept his voice calm but serious, and his yellow eyes studied Sam
unrelentingly.

Sam shrugged and his eyes strayed.

“Samuel, look at me when I speak to you.” Azazel put a hand under the boy’s
chin and forced him to face him. “I know this might feel good and you’re too
young to understand what’s going on. But you are a Prince, Samuel. You are
above this kind of experience, don’t you know? When you touch yourself you’re
nothing but an animal. When you give in and rub yourself like some irrational
creature you’re corrupting your blood. You’re causing irreparable damage to
your hormonal system. You’re ruining your future.”

Sam’s heart raced and he took a few gasps. Was he? Was he really doing all that
just by touching…some part of him that really wanted to be touched?

“I’m…I’m sorry, I didn’t know…”

“Why didn’t you come to me when you started having these impure thoughts? I’m
your daddy, I’m here to help you. I thought we were friends.”

“We are. I’m sorry. I didn’t know I was not supposed to…”

“Samuel. Samuel, look at me.” Azazel took a deep breath. His face was stern.
“You are meant for great things. The complexity of your blood is something I
don’t expect you to understand just know. I can’t let you do to yourself
something that may corrupt your body. Masturbation is wrong.”

Sam shuddered at the word. It did sound like something terrible.

“I tasted it in your blood a few mornings ago. Are you sure you didn’t do this
before? Have you been naughty behind my back?”

“I didn’t! I haven’t. I swear. I just…I had a dream… I don’t know exactly what
happened.” It had been a good dream, though, and a few minutes ago, right
before his dad had walked in, Sam had been trying to chase that same feeling of
the dream again.

“You had a wet dream, then. These ones you can’t control, even though you
should avoid them at all costs. I can taste the change in your blood, son, and
it makes me feel profoundly disappointed that you, my boy, my precious boy,
would give in to such savage instincts.”

“I won’t do it again. I won’t,” Sam said quickly. He was so ashamed he couldn’t
even imagine himself doing it again. Not any time soon, anyway.

“Are you sure about that? Because Samuel, if you go down that path…there’s no
coming back. If you don’t resist the impulse to do that, you are going to
defile your gift. I need to know I can trust you.”

“You can. I won’t do anything again.”

Azazel studied Sam’s face. He knew the boy really meant it right now, but he
was a boy, and soon he would feel the urge once again. He needed to make Sam
understand how important it was to stay away from his libido.

“I want to believe you. I really do, son. But I don’t think you understand how
important this is. Touching yourself is not just a trick you may get away with.
It’s a damaging act I will not tolerate from you.”

Sam looked into his dad’s eyes and saw real anger there. For the first time he
felt really scared of what he had been doing.

“So I hope you understand that as your daddy, I’m expected to teach you right
from wrong.”

“I won’t do it…”

“I know. But I need to make sure you understand how important it is.”

Sam frowned when Azazel beckoned someone closer. It was Crowley. He had been
watching the scene from a short distance, which caused Sam to feel absolutely
mortified.

“Crowley?”

“Yes, sir?” the servant looked visibly uncomfortable.

“Go downstairs and make sure there’s no one in the house right now. My son and
I are going to need some privacy.”

 Chapter 20
 


Four years ago…


The servant bowed shortly and left. Sam raised questioning eyes to his dad when
he watched Crowley go.

“C’mon. Follow me.”

“Where to?” Sam was nervous. He didn’t really know what, but there was
something in his dad’s eyes, something cold in them, cold and hard, and Sam
didn’t really want to go with him.

Azazel looked at the boy and narrowed his eyes.

“I won’t say it twice. C’mon.”

Sam followed his dad out of his room. By now his dick was soft and every last
trace of arousal had gone away and made room for fear and regret. Sam just
wished he’d never seen Meg’s thighs under the water, and he wished he’d never
had the idea of being alone to touch himself.

There was no one downstairs. In the kitchen, Azazel closed the door and Sam
stood by a corner, watching as his father moved. The cook had left hurriedly in
the middle of making dinner, and there were fruits and vegetables spread on the
kitchen island, as well as large pot with boiling water forgotten on the stove.
Azazel walked towards it and looked at the bubbles erupting from the hot water.

“Come here.”

Sam didn’t want to go. What was going to happen? Would he be punished? His dad
had never hit him before. Azazel never raised a hand to hit him, ever. Sam
didn’t know what to expect.

“Samuel.”

The tone of his voice was so deep and stern that Sam felt tears beginning to
grow somewhere behind his eyes. He walked towards his dad and stopped beside
him.

“I love you so much. You are the reason I live, Samuel.” Azazel seemed
thoughtful and sorry, and Sam felt a chill run down his spine. “But as a father
you must understand it’s my job to teach you. I want to trust that you
understood the relevance of what we discussed upstairs, but I need to be
certain you understand the consequences of disobeying me.”

Sam’s heart was thudding in his throat. He was so nervous. He wanted to pee. He
wanted to run. He wanted to cry.

“Now give me your hands.”

Sam looked at the boiling water in the pot and shook his head quickly. “Dad,
no…no, please…”

“Give me your hands, Samuel.” Azazel repeated slowly.

Sam looked at the smoke coming out of that scorching water and he felt the
tears surface and cover his eyes in a shiny layer. “Please…” he begged. “I’ll
be good, I swear. You don’t have to do this. Please, Daddy…”

“I won’t ask again, Samuel.” Azazel stared intently at him. “Your hands.”

Sam’s bottom lip trembled pitifully. He didn’t want to move an inch. He was
scared to obey, but terrified to say no. Slowly, he reached his shaking hands
out and Azazel grabbed them quickly.

“NO!” Sam cried when his dad grabbed his arms a little above his wrists and
directed them towards the boiling water. “Please, Dad! Please, no!”

“I’m so sorry, honey, but that’s the way it needs to be. The next time you have
impure desires you need to understand what can happen to your flesh if you give
in. You need to understand the consequences of doing that again.”

It was fast. The whole thing probably lasted less than ten seconds, and Sam
screamed at the top of his lungs during all of it.

The boiling water peeled away the soft skin of his hands, burning at the
sensitive nerve endings and causing pain so excruciating that Sam lost control
of his bladder. He thrashed and pulled frantically, but Azazel’s grip was
strong. He didn’t let go, not even when the blisters grew and the screaming
intensified.

When it was over, Sam fell on the kitchen floor, gasping and shaking, the pain
taking over his brain as he bent over his stomach and cried.

Azazel stood over the boy and watched him for a moment.

“Crowley!” he finally called out. “Come in here. I need help with Samuel.”

A couple of minutes later, Crowley was walking into the kitchen. Of course he
had heard the screaming. He supposed even the people outside the mansion had
heard it. Yet, it didn’t fail to surprise him when he saw the boy crying on the
floor, both of his hands red and covered with blisters.

Azazel saw the way Crowley studied the boy with shock. “Go fetch me my first
aid kit. Now.”

It took Crowley a moment to be able to look away and comply. “Yes, sir…” He
left quickly, and the sound of Sam’s painful crying accompanied him wherever he
went.


~ * ~


Sam suffered first and second degree burns on his hands.

His dad took him upstairs, back into his room, and he cared for the injuries
skillfully. Sam was still shaky and somewhat in shock as his dad walked them
into the bathroom and put Sam’s hands under the cold tap water.

“Mm,” Sam moaned faintly and swallowed any further sounds. He gritted his teeth
and closed his eyes as his dad cleaned his hands gently, careful not to break
the blisters, and removed the dead tissue that eventually came off with the
washing.

“Come here, baby,” his voice was soft and tender when he took Sam back to the
bed, waited for him to sit down, and started to spread a cold ointment on both
of his hands. “This contains antibiotics, alright? We’re going to use it for a
few days to make sure it heals nicely. It also contains some other substances
that will help the skin heal without any scars. You just got to be careful not
to use your hands while they heal, okay?”

Sam looked into his dad’s yellow eyes. The way he touched him now, the concern
in his voice and eyes…no one would have believed he himself had inflicted the
burns. Sam was torn inside. He didn’t know what to feel. He hated his dad for
the terrible pain he was in. He feared him and wanted him to go away. Yet, Sam
didn’t know how badly his trespass had been. Perhaps his dad was doing what any
other dad would have done. Maybe Sam deserved what happened, he didn’t know…
Touching himself had felt good, sure, but perhaps that was why it was so wrong.
Besides, there was so much love in the way his dad looked after him now…Sam was
loved, wasn’t he? His dad had only hurt him because he loved him too much and
needed to teach him, right?

Sam didn’t know what to think, and his feelings were clouded with the amount of
pain he was in. He kept to himself and watched, in silence, as his dad wrapped
his hands in clean and soft bandages.

“We’ll have to change the bandages three times a day, okay? We don’t want them
sticking to your skin or anything.”

Sam nodded. He didn’t feel like speaking. His eyes were focused on the
bedspread and he avoided his dad at all costs.

“Hey, hey…” Azazel touched Sam’s check gently but the boy recoiled. He sighed.
“I know you’re angry with me right now, Samuel, but you’ll understand someday
that I did this to protect you. I don’t want to fight with you again. I really
believe that one lesson well learned will avoid a lot of trouble in the future.
Don’t you agree?”

Sam bit down hard on the inside of his bottom lip and felt a couple of fat,
warm tears roll down his cheeks.

“Don’t cry, baby boy. It’s over now.” Azazel wiped the tears with his thumbs.
He knew Sam was still in a lot of pain, and he was extremely proud that the boy
was struggling not to show. Of course he could give him a potent pain killer,
otherwise he probably wouldn’t sleep tonight, but then what was the point?
Azazel believed pain was a powerful teaching tool, and now that he had gone
this far, he was going to see the lesson through. Samuel was too important for
him not to have taken such measures. Besides, of course the boy was uneasy now,
but he would come around.

“I’ll see you tomorrow, okay? Crowley will be here if you need anything.”

Azazel kissed the boy’s forehead, but there was still no reaction from the boy.
He left the room and met Crowley just outside.

“Be with him now,” Azazel instructed. “Help him shower, eat…whatever he wants
or needs. I’ll let the other servants know they need to help the prince. But I
trust you the most, and from now on, I want you there with him at all times.”

“Yes, sir,” Crowley agreed. What else could he do? Question his master’s course
of action? He would be a fool if he did that, and Crowley didn’t want any
trouble.

“All times, do you understand? I want you there when he falls asleep and when
he wakes up, when he goes to the bathroom or plays in the yard. You’ll be his
shadow, and if anything happens, you’ll let me know.”

“Of course.”

Azazel pulled Crowley further away from the door and lowered his voice. “Check
the sheets when he wakes up every morning,” he said. “If he has a wet dream I
want to be informed before I taste the bitterness in his blood again.”

Crowley nodded.

“As for his hands…I’ve taken care of that, but if anything happens you should
call me. I’ll check on him tomorrow. Now go.”

Crowley walked past Azazel and into the boy’s room. What he saw broke his heart
in ways Crowley would never admit, not even to himself.

Azazel’s kid was lying quietly on his bed, his hands wrapped in white bandages
lying lifelessly by his side, his eyes lost and wet, his face unreadable.
Crowley wished he hadn’t told Azazel anything before, but what could he have
done? Quit? No one ever quit from working for a vampire. Besides, if his job
was to make sure that Sam never masturbated again, it was like Crowley would be
protecting the kid, making sure that horror scene in the kitchen never happened
again.

“I’m here for you if you need anything. Let me know when you want to shower or
eat, and I’ll have it arranged.”

Sam looked at him briefly but didn’t say anything. The burning feeling in his
hands kept him too busy for words. There was nothing else for him to feel
except the pain and the shock of what had happened today.

Crowley still looked at him expectantly for a while longer, but Sam just
lowered his eyes again and said nothing.


~ * ~


Sam didn’t sleep that night. The pain was too fierce. When he woke up after a
troubled drifting in and out of consciousness, he found his bedroom crawling
with gifts. On top of his bed there was the collection of Wonders of the World,
something Sam had wanted since the day his teacher mentioned such a thing
existed. He ran a bandaged hand over the cover of the first volume softly.

“Morning, Prince. Your dad stopped by and left these for you.”

Sam looked at Crowley and then back at the books again. The desire to leaf
through them even numbed his pain a little, but Sam couldn’t do much with both
of his hands in that condition.

“Would you like me to help you take a look at the content?” Crowley asked.

Sam licked at his lips and thought for a moment. He was too young to understand
what was happening there. All he thought was that perhaps his dad was sorry
about what he had done to him. Maybe that was his dad apologizing for having
hurt him.

“Yes, please…” He asked softly, his voice raspy.

Crowley smiled faintly and sat by the bed, where he opened the first book and
held it for Sam to read.

The next night the boy had trouble sleeping, too. For the next week Sam needed
help to put on his clothes, to take them off, to shower, to eat, to go to the
bathroom… As if Azazel walking in on him touching himself wasn’t shameful
enough. Every day for the next week, Sam depended on his dad’s servants.
Crowley particularly, to do everything. He showered him, fed him, dressed him,
turned the pages of the books Sam wanted to read.

Every day there were nurses who came in to change his bandages, and eventually,
as the skin began to heal and the blisters dried, the pain started to fade into
a bad memory. Sam knew his dad checked on him at least once a day, but every
time he showed up Sam pretended to be asleep. He wasn’t willing to face his
father yet, even after his present, and Azazel didn’t push him.

It was the morning after eight entire days from the accident when Sam woke up
with his dad watching over him.

“Morning, sweet Prince. How do you feel today?”

“Better.” Sam’s voice was unsure and he looked at his hands.

“Let me see them.”

The boy’s first instinct was to recoil his hands, but as Azazel looked at him
gently and waited patiently, Sam offered his hands for him to examine.

Azazel unwrapped the bandage and studied the hands clinically.

“It looks good, honey. I don’t think you’ll have any scars. We don’t need these
bandages anymore, just make sure you keep applying some of the ointment for a
few more days.”

Sam looked at his hands when they rested on his lap. They looked pink and
sensitive with the new skin. For the past week Sam had realized how terrible it
was to need help to do the most basic things he was used to doing, and he was
glad he would be able to do those things on his own again.

“Did you like my present?”

“Yes. Thank you.”

“Are you still mad at me?” Azazel smiled with playfulness and lifted Sam’s
chin.

Sam didn’t really know. He wasn’t in pain anymore, so he guessed it was okay.

“Come here…”Azazel pulled him into a hug and held him tight. He kissed the
boy’s head and breathed in his scent. “I love you so much, you know that,
right? You mean the world to me. I’m so sorry that happened between us, Samuel.
I really am.” He was sorry, of course, but that didn’t mean he regretted it.
Azazel would have done it all over again, and might still do it if Sam needed
to be disciplined once more.

“It’s okay, Daddy.” Sam caved. More than anything, he was suffering. Azazel was
the only family Sam had, and the idea that his dad had stopped loving him hurt
more than his hands. For the past days Sam had caught himself wondering whether
he had made his dad so angry he had stopped caring for him altogether, and even
though Sam was mad and resentful, the feeling of being no longer loved by the
only one he had in this world, the only love and family he had known since he
was a baby, that killed him.

Azazel framed his face and looked into his eyes.

“You still love me, then?” Sam knew his voice cracked a little. He loved his
dad as much as he hated him, but Sam didn’t think he could live without him.

“Of course I do, honey! I love you more than anything.” Azazel smiled, pleased.
“Do you forgive me, then? Do you understand that what I did was necessary?”

No.

“Yes,” Sam said, reluctantly.

“Good. You’re a good boy, Samuel. The best boy.” Azazel kissed his cheek and
let his hand slip beneath his robe so his fingers could run over Sam’s shoulder
and against his chest softly.

Sam shivered at the contact.

“Do still love me? Hm?”

Sam felt the hot breath in his neck and knew what was going to happen.  Sam
didn’t care much, because it meant he was still wanted and he wouldn’t be
alone. “I do, dad.”

Azazel smiled against his skin before sinking his teeth into his flesh. Sam
just closed his eyes and waited.

Sweet, innocent and delicious. That was the boy Azazel loved, and that was what
he would fight to have for as long as he could. After all the trouble he had
gone through to find him, the least he would do was make sure Samuel stayed
just as he was for as long as possible.

Sam felt his dad’s fingers roam over his skin, down his chest, over his lower
belly…when the fingers caressed his thighs, though, Sam squirmed uneasily. He
was only twelve, he had no control over what happened with his body. He didn’t
know why or how a lot of things were triggered, but when he felt his dick
harden a little he panicked.

“Dad, no…” he shook his head, terrified that the soft touching was causing him
to lose control and do something he would be punished for.

Azazel stopped feeding to chuckle warmly. “That’s alright, baby. It’s okay to
feel this way when I’m feeding. You don’t know what touching feels like, and
it’s a lot to take in. I understand.”

But Sam didn’t. He didn’t like what happened to his body, and it wasn’t only
because he was terrified of being hurt again. He didn’t like it because it felt
wrong and weird.

“The problem is if you act on it, you know? If you just do nothing and wait
patiently, it’ll go away. That’s what we want, Samuel, that you learn how to
control your urges. Believe me, this will happen often.” Azazel pulled away and
looked into his eyes. “But you’ll figure out how to be stronger than this. I
believe it now, don’t you?”

Sam nodded quickly.

“I have to go to work. Have a good day.”

Azazel kissed his fingers before getting up to leave. Sam watched him go and
sighed with relief.

The moment Azazel left, Crowley walked back into his room. Sam didn’t know yet,
but Crowley was about to become an important presence in his life, being there
for him all the time, watching his every move, checking on his every dream.

“Crowley?”

“Yes?”

“Where’s my teddy?”

Crowley looked around the room and found Sam’s teddy bear resting on top of a
chair. He picked it up and handed it to the boy.

“Here is it, Prince.”

Sam took it in his hands and enjoyed the softness against his fingers. He had
missed being able to touch things. He looked at the white teddy and it’s big
blue eyes, the green tie around its neck and the pink shade on its belly and
paws. He could feel his dick softening again and it filled him with relief.

It would be alright, Sam though. His dad still loved him, and he wouldn’t
disobey him again. Whatever good feeling he had felt before in his dream wasn’t
worth it.

“Thank you.”

Sam squeezed the teddy bear and thought of his mom. He had never seen a picture
of her and he hardly ever thought about that woman who had carried him in her
belly for nine months. Today, however, Sam caught himself wondering what she
looked like, and if she would have loved him had she lived.



***


Sam returned to the surface and took a deep breath. He had been under the water
for so long that his lungs were stinging and his chest heaved with difficulty
to pull in oxygen. He got out of the pool and walked towards Crowley, still
sitting in a corner and dozing off by now.

“I want to go back to my room.” Sam stood still in front of him, water dripping
from his hair and bathing shorts.

Crowley opened his eyes, startled, and looked at the boy watching him.

“Alright. Let’s go.”

Sam took a shower and then sat in bed with a few books. It was Crowley’s night
off, so Sam watched as his personal body guard started to look around and
collect a few items before he left and someone else stayed in for the night.

“Does my dad love me?”

“Excuse me, Prince?” Crowley stopped on his tracks before he reached the door.

“You heard me. Answer me.” Sam looked only casually interested as he leafed
through his book.

Crowley looked around as if the answer was somewhere he had no idea where to
look for.

“Of course he does. He’s your daddy.”

Sam seemed to consider that for a moment. He asked his next question still
without raising his eyes.

“What do you think he would do to me if he found out I’ve been hanging out with
Dean Winchester?”

Crowley swallowed hard.

“I’m sure he wouldn’t like that one bit.”

Sam stopped what he was doing and stared at Crowley.

“What if he found out that I let Dean touch me, and that we kiss, and that I
touch him, too. What if he found out how much I like it.”

Crowley tensed. “Prince, you can’t…” he began.

“I know. I can’t, and I won’t. But I want to.”

Crowley was growing agitated and nervous.

“You didn’t answer me. What would my daddy do if he found out?”

“Prince, how could I…”

“Would he burn me again?” Sam cut him off. “Would he burn my hands or some
other part of me? Would he kill me?”

“Don’t be a fool,” Crowley intervened. “Of course he wouldn’t kill you. You’re
his son.”

“But you agree that he would hurt me, right?”

Crowley swallowed hard and his heart raced.

“Prince, I…” he was at a loss.

Sam sighed deeply and seemed to shrug off the importance of that.

“I’m sorry, Crowley. That would be all. Have a good night.”

But Crowley wouldn’t move. He couldn’t. He stood at the door of Sam’s room and
looked at the sad boy sat on the bed, pretending to be interested on the opened
book before his eyes.

“Prince, I…” he tried again.

“It’s alright. Good night, Crowley,” Sam repeated, a little more insistent this
time, and eventually Crowley nodded, wished him a good night and left.

As soon as he was gone and someone else took over the watch, Sam slammed the
book shut and looked at the teddy resting beside him on the bed.

He felt so alone his heart seemed to shrink.

Then he thought of Dean, and how he had held him in his arms and made him feel
safe. It was like his heart experienced a small electric current running
through it, and causing it to skip a beat before engaging into a faster rhythm.

By now Sam knew he was probably going down the dangerous path his dad had
warned him about, but when Sam thought of Dean and the feelings his face and
his touch evoked, he didn’t want to stop.

Regardless of the consequences.

Sam looked at his hands and shuddered.

Chapter 21



The next time Sam snuck out of class to meet with Dean, his heart engaged in
the same fast drumming it always did whenever they were together. Sam didn’t
even care about what they would be doing that afternoon, as long as they got to
spend time in each other’s company. Therefore, when Dean started to walk with
him towards the beach, Sam didn’t question him about their destination. He was
happy to follow him along the shore.

It was a warm day, and the boys were wearing shorts and holding their shoes in
one hand in order to feel the fresh water washing over their feet.

Dean’s white T-shirt was hanging from his waist, where he had tucked it into
the waistband of his shorts. Sam couldn’t help looking at his smooth and tanned
chest every now and then, and judging by the looks they got from the eventual
girl that walked past them, Sam thought they too couldn’t resist.

Dean walked in silence, enjoying Sam’s company on this nice day. Even though
his pace was unhurried, his thoughts were busy; they had been busy since their
last encounter. Dean couldn’t shrug off what Sam had told him about himself.
Did the boy seriously not touch himself? Did he not know how? That seemed so
unlikely. Dean had been touching himself for pretty much as long as he could
remember, and now that he had met Sam and his sexual life was no longer busy,
even more so. If Sam was a virgin, how come he didn’t get off on his own every
now and then? How come he didn’t do it every day? Dean was dying to ask, but he
was also very aware of the boy’s uneasiness when he had pushed the subject a
little further the last time they were together. Dean wondered why that was so,
and if it had anything to do with Sam’s lifestyle and where he was coming from.

“Excuse me, do you have the time?” Dean was pulled out of his thoughts when a
beautiful girl in a bikini stood in front of them and smiled.

Dean mirrored the smile, and had it been a couple of months ago, he was sure,
just from one look at her desire-filled eyes, they would end up in bed. She
liked what she saw, that much was obvious.

Dean checked his watch as Sam observed the scene. “It’s half past two.”

“Thank you. My friend and I are visiting town…” she went on. “Would you guys
perhaps like to hang out? She’s over there…” she looked at Sam and then pointed
towards another attractive girl.

Dean and Sam exchanged a quick look. Of course Sam knew what was going on.
Someone would have to be blind, or foolish, or just one hundred per cent into
women not to swoon over Dean’s looks. Besides, if those girls were aware of his
sex fame, then they would probably be dying to check it out.

“I’m sorry. Sam and I need to be somewhere. Maybe some other time, eh?”

“Oh…that’s a shame.”

“You girls go ahead and enjoy the town.”

“Thanks.”

The two of them watched as the girl walked away towards her friend.

Sam looked at Dean for a moment and then looked away. Meg’s words invaded his
brain and he couldn’t help feeling naive and sort of stupid. Why was Dean
spending time with him anyway? What did Sam, of all people, have to offer to a
sex god who could have anyone he wanted? The thought depressed him a little and
he tried to shrug it off quickly.

“I bet they wanted to have some fun with us,” Dean said casually.

“With you, I’m sure.”

“And you. She had a friend.”

“Right.”

Dean frowned. “Excuse me. Do you not realize how fucking hot you are?” his
words were blunt and honest, and as his green eyes stared deeply into Sam’s,
the younger one felt his heart race erratically.

Sam thought he was blushing a little and he looked away quickly. “I’m sure it’s
nothing compared to your six-pack,” he joked.

“You say that as if you ain’t hiding some of the same under this shirt of
yours. I’ve seen you shirtless before, remember? You look great.”

Sam could still feel his heart basking in the praising. “I like sports,” he
finally said.

“So do I. I surf whenever I can, and I enjoy jogging on the beach, too. What do
you like to do?”

“Anything,” Sam answered. “I like all kinds of physical activity. It helps take
my mind off stuff,” he added.

Dean might have asked something, but they had arrived at his favorite spot.

“Are you ready to do some climbing?” he looked at the rocks and Sam nodded.

For the next thirty minutes the boys took the hiking trail they had explored
before in order to arrive at the beautiful deserted little beach Dean usually
referred to, in his mind anyway, as his private sex haven. Last time they had
been there for a swim Sam had seen Dean naked for the first time, but had been
surprised by the sound of a bird before he had touched him.

“Are you up to a swim?” Dean asked.

“Nah…not now. I’d rather just sit and look at the waves.”

With this said, Dean sat on a large rock beside Sam, with the sand a few feet
below them and the waves breaking on some rocks. The birds where chirping and
the sky was of a deep blue. The clouds were sparse and dream-like.

They were quiet for a while, listening to the sounds of the breaking waves.
Dean studied Sam every now and then with growing interest. “What’s on your
mind?” he eventually asked.

Sam looked at his knees pulled up to his chest and sighed.

“That girl at the beach…she liked you.”

“Yeah.”

“She probably wanted to have sex with you.”

“Probably,” Dean agreed.

“I…” Sam felt a weird mix of nervous and sad. “I don’t want to prevent you from
doing something you like,” he finally said. “Since I can’t promise you
anything.”

“Is that what’s troubling you?”

Sam nodded slowly. He wasn’t aware of how cute he looked to Dean with his
forehead creased as he chewed on his bottom lip.

“Relax, Sam. You don’t need to promise me anything.”

“Meg said…” he began and then for a moment wondered whether or not to go on. He
chose to proceed. “I know someone who has been with you.”

“Oh.”

“She said you’re quite famous in town…”

It was Dean’s turn to look somewhat uncomfortable. His reputation had never
bothered him, on the contrary, but he didn’t want it to scare Sam away.

“Sam, I…I won’t lie to you. I’ve been around, you know. I’ve slept with a lot
of people.”

“I know.”

“You do?” Dean seemed surprised.

“She said you’re a sex god.”

Dean burst with a loud and amused laugh. “She told you what?”

Sam blushed this time, becoming quickly aware that he had said something
stupid.

Dean laughed some more with genuine pleasure and only stopped when he realized
Sam looked nervous.

“Look…I’m a normal guy. I have experience, that’s true. I didn’t tell you
before because I was afraid of scaring you, but I’ve had many lovers. Girls and
guys…I would be lying if I said I remember all their faces.”

Sam nodded. He felt the gritty rock beneath his fingertips and the tightness in
his hands when he opened his mouth again. “Are you still sleeping with
different people?” he didn’t know why the question hurt him so much. He
couldn’t possibly expect that Dean would wait for something he couldn’t give
him any time soon, if ever.

Dean studied the boy intently and his heart raced at what he could see
troubling him.

“Because if you are…” Sam went on quickly. “That’s okay. I mean, I would never
ask that you stop or—”

“I’m not,” Dean interrupted him. “I haven’t been with anyone since we met, and
this is the truth.”

Sam felt as if his heart had just gotten three times bigger. It felt hot and
heavy in his chest and the tension he had been building dissolved into liquid
satisfaction.

“Oh.” Sam looked into Dean’s green eyes and for a moment it was hard to
breathe. He had never felt anything like that before. He wished Dean would just
kidnap him and take him away forever, someplace where there were no rules and
no blood drinking, somewhere Dean could do whatever he wanted to him as much as
he wanted. That would make Sam happy, he thought.

“Does it make you happy?” Dean asked softly, almost as if he had read Sam’s
thoughts.

The boy nodded quickly. “It’d be okay if you were, though. I don’t want you to
wait for me, Dean. What if I just can’t, you know? I can’t promise anything,
perhaps you should just—” when desperation began to coat his words, Sam was
silenced by a long kiss to his lips.

Dean’s mouth was gentle but firm, and when it demanded entrance Sam parted his
lips and licked at his tongue.

Despite the warm temperature, Sam felt a chill inside of him and goosebumps
broke on his skin when their tongues touched.

Dean broke the kiss but stayed very close. His hand was at the back of Sam’s
neck and he let his fingers run into Sam’s hair. “Relax, Sammy. I’m not
sleeping with anyone because I choose not to. It’s my decision, okay? You don’t
need to feel responsible.”

Sam nodded. “Wh-why are doing this?” he thought he might know the answer, or at
least his heart did, but when he asked he felt his legs go weak.

“Because I don’t want to sleep with anyone else. I can only think of you. I
just want to touch you and kiss you…and all I think about is when I’ll get to
lick every inch of you…” Dean tilted his head and darted out his tongue. He
licked wetly at Sam’s weak spot in his neck, and was instantly rewarded with a
sweet moan.

Dean let his nose graze at the spot where Sam’s neck and shoulder met, and then
he closed his lips and teased further.

“Mm.” Sam closed his eyes and squirmed a little.

“Ticklish?” Dean’s question was a hot whisper into Sam’s ear.

Sam felt Dean’s lips brush his neck again and this time he shuddered. Heat
immediately pooled in his lower belly and his cock hardened in response.
“Yeah,” he answered throatily.

“Good.” Dean licked him slowly at the spot. “I wonder where else you’re
ticklish.”

Sam allowed Dean to pull his shirt over his head and watched, helplessly
aroused, as Dean’s mouth traveled over his naked skin.

“Dean…” Sam’s eyelids fluttered when a hot mouth closed over his right nipple.
Sam’s cock twitched and he arched lightly.

Dean’s own cock throbbed at the response he got. He let the tip of his tongue
flicker against the hard little nub until Sam’s breathing was audible and
labored. Then he moved lower, planting soft kisses until his tongue dipped into
Sam’s belly button.

“Oh,” Sam moaned and trembled. He chuckled and tried to move away from the
feeling.

“Are you ticklish in here, too?” Dean smiled wolfishly.

“I...I guess,” Sam admitted.

Dean’s tongue trailed lower, but when he reached the waistband of Sam’s shorts,
he felt the boy pulling him up. Dean’s dismay was short lived when Sam brought
their mouths together. They kissed hotly, and this time Sam let his hands
tangle into Dean’s soft short hair.

When they pulled apart to breathe, Sam’s eyes were clouded with lust. He looked
into Dean’s eyes and then at his parted lips, and when his eyes trailed lower
he found himself staring at Dean’s midsection. There was a tent in his shorts,
and Sam shuddered pleasurably at the memory of touching him there.

“What?” Dean cocked an eyebrow when he realized Sam was looking at his cloth-
covered erection. “You do this to me. I can’t help it.”

Sam couldn’t hide his lust. His eyes were focused on the evident volume in
Dean’s shorts, the round and firmness of it. Sam’s lips parted. He remembered
everything about how it had felt against his hand.

Dean noticed the way Sam was staring hotly at him. “It’s okay,” he said, his
voice low. “You can touch me again.”

Dean shut his eyes and bit back a moan when Sam’s hand rested on top of the
bulge in his shorts. He felt the boy close his fingers tentatively around his
shaft and run his palm along the clothed length of him. Dean knew there was
probably a wet spot forming in his underwear where the fabric touched the head
of his dick.

“Did you like to touch me last time?” Dean asked, his voice sultry against
Sam’s ear.

“Yeah.” Sam nodded. His voice was barely above a whisper.

Dean let his forehead rest against Sam’s, their hot breathing puffing in a
crescendo of arousal. “What did you like about it?”

Sam felt a piercing sting of arousal stab him. “Everything…”

“Tell me,” Dean insisted.

“I liked…” Sam realized it was hard to think. All his blood was rushing down,
making his cock swell and ache. “I liked how it felt against my palm. I liked
the way your skin felt.”

“What else?”

“It was hot. Your skin, I mean. I liked that.”

Sam’s breathing was short. He wished he could touch Dean skin to skin again,
but he was afraid to ask. “But my favorite part was when you had an orgasm.”

Dean shut his eyes and smiled hotly. “Yeah?”

“Yeah. I liked to watch you.”

Their lips brushed and Sam’s fingers tightened around Dean’s cock.

“Can I…?”

Dean’s response to Sam’s unfinished question was to lower his shorts and
underwear so his dick could spring free. Sam’s fist closed around his erection
in a heartbeat and Dean moaned.

That was great, Sam thought. If he could manage to do that to Dean every time
things became heated, then he would be fine. He enjoyed getting Dean off; he
could get away with that. Perhaps things could last a bit longer if he managed
to keep Dean’s mind focused on his own pleasure.

Dean licked at his lips and thrust tentatively into Sam’s hand. The boy’s touch
was insecure and soft, and the combination of eagerness and tentativeness was
driving him crazy.

Dean let his hand rest on top of Sam’s own hardness and squeezed. He wanted to
touch him, too. He wanted to make him come again.

Sam bit back a moan and thought fast. He took Dean’s hand off of him and put it
on top of his own hand, on Dean’s cock.

“Show me again…” he asked. “Please…”

“I wanna do it to you, too,” Dean protested.

“Please…help me make you come again.” Sam squeezed his hand and stroked up and
down.

Dean wanted to protest again, but Sam begged too prettily, and his cock was
demanding an increasing amount of attention.

He looked into Sam’s eyes. Again he thought of the boy’s confession about not
touching himself. Was it true? Didn’t Sam masturbate? Did he have some kind of
problem? Dean might have thought further about it but Sam stroked him again and
his judgment got clouded.

Dean decided to delve on these matters later. He would talk to Sam about it,
and he would make him come so hard he wouldn’t remember his name, but right now
he wrapped his hand around Sam’s and helped the boy bring him to a shuddering
climax.

Dean’s eyes fell shut and he threw his head back. Sam’s eyes were greedily
open, taking in every detail of Dean’s pleasure as their hands worked up and
down on his cock. Sam watched, mesmerized, as liquid pooled at Dean’s tip at
the same time he grew more vocal. Sam relished every muffled moan he was able
to cause. When Dean sped up the strokes, Sam prepared himself to watch him fall
over the edge. Dean’s fingers tightened around Sam’s, that tightened around
Dean’s cock when a white arch of pearlescent liquid shot from the tip of him.

Sam felt his balls ache at the sight. The warm seed on his hand made him dizzy
with need.

Dean gasped and took a few deep breaths. He linked his seed covered fingers
with Sam’s and they were perfectly still for a moment.

Sam felt secretly accomplished and pleased at the way things had played out. He
felt wonderful for being able to have something from Dean without the fear of
being caught. Yet, when Dean’s hand stared wandering again, and his soft kisses
on Sam’s jaw line were threatening his self control, Sam knew it was time to
move.

“You know. I could use a swim now.” he got up and looked at Dean.

The older man studied the boy watching over him. Dean was certain Sam still had
an erection, so why didn’t he let Dean take care of him? He could make the boy
feel so good if he allowed it. He had already made Sam feel good in the
elevator, so what was the problem?

“Let’s go?” Sam reached out his hand and there was a plea in his voice.

For some reason, Dean realized, Sam was running from him. It wasn’t just that
he was a virgin and without any experience. Sam had just successfully managed
to avoid losing control. What was going on, Dean wondered. Was he afraid? Did
he think they would go all the way and fuck if Dean made him feel good? Did he,
oh god, did he have some sort of problem, some genetic birth defect thing that
made him ashamed of being touched?

Dean wanted to make Sam come, but he also wanted to talk. He wanted to
understand the boy; he wanted to know what was going on. Who was Sam, really?
What did he like, what did he want? There was so much Dean wanted to learn.
Yet, he looked into the hazel eyes watching him and the hand offered in his
direction and he could see something frail in those eyes. Sam didn’t want to
talk. He was looking for a way out. But why?

Dean took Sam’s hand and got up as well.

‘Next time’, he promised himself. Today Sam could have his way. ‘Next time we
meet he’ll either talk to me or come for me.’

“Ok, let’s swim,” Dean caved and watched as Sam chuckled merrily before moving
towards the waves.

‘Or both,’ Dean smiled devilishly at the thought and followed Sam into the
water.

Chapter 22



Azazel was extremely aware of Lucifer’s lust-coated interest on his boy, and he
knew there was little to nothing he could do to make sure Lucifer would keep
his word of not touching Samuel until Azazel gave him up in marriage. Lucifer
was his boss and Azazel owed all his prestigious status and luxury to him. Even
though Azazel was a supernatural creature and thus much more powerful than a
mere human, it was in his best interest to maintain a solid friendship with the
business man. Azazel had lived on the run for a long time, having to hide in
the shadows, being hunted, hated, feared…it wasn’t the kind of life he wanted
for himself anymore. It felt good having a fancy home to rest in, and the
admiration of people, and most importantly, a handy stash of blood, which
included his sweetest achievement, the Prince.

Since Azazel was limited to trusting Lucifer’s word and instincts, that meant
he only had his son to work with in order to make sure no lines would be
crossed if Lucifer decided he wanted to spend time with the Prince again. Being
a doctor, Azazel realized there was something he could try to do in order to
make sure Sam would remain pure even if he wasn’t being carefully guarded at
the moment.

Better safe than sorry, he knew that. He would count on Lucifer’s promise, but
he would also play on Samuel’s fear.

When he invited the boy to come to the hospital and visit his office, he knew
Samuel would be excited. The boy enjoyed the chance to go out of the mansion,
and on those rare times Azazel had taken Samuel to the hospital with him for
routine checkups, he had enjoyed it thoroughly.

This time wasn’t different. It wasn’t a class day, so when Azazel invited
Samuel to do something different and go to the hospital with him, the prince
agreed quickly and got ready in a few minutes.

Crowley drove them to the hospital in a limo, and soon they were walking
towards Azazel’s office, where the vampire hoped he could cause an impression
on Samuel’s imaginary.

Sam looked around the hospital with greedy eyes. He didn’t even care that he
was there to get his blood taken for a few routine exams. He got to see
different people and enjoy a different environment, and for that he was glad.

He followed his dad into his office where they were alone. Sam knew the drill.
His dad would make him sit, stretch his arm, pierce it with a needle and get
enough blood for the exams. Then, after only a few minutes, they would be going
home.

Sam wondered if one day he would work in a hospital, too. ‘Maybe I could have a
normal life,’ he thought vaguely.

“Oh.” Azazel stopped in the middle of the office and looked around.

“What is it, Dad?” Sam liked to see his dad dressed in a white lab coat. He
liked the way everyone greeted him politely in the hallways. It made Azazel
seem really important, and really respectful. It made him seem…well, normal.

“I forgot my case with the things I’ll need. Can you wait here for a moment?”

Sam looked surprised. “Sure, but…Crowley is in the car.”

“You can be alone, that’s fine. I won’t be gone for too long. Ten minutes,
tops.”

“Okay…” Sam frowned.

“You can behave for a few minutes, can’t you?” Azazel brushed the back of his
hand against the boy’s cheek.

Sam swallowed hard and nodded quickly. “Of course I can.” Sam felt outraged.
What kind of irrational animal did his father take him for? As if he would just
turn around, leave, and Sam would start touching himself the moment he was
alone. Sam was just surprised because he was never alone anymore, except when
he was with Dean, of course, but his dad couldn’t possibly know that.

“I know you can. I’ll be right back.”

Azazel kissed Sam’s forehead and left.

Sam sighed and looked around. There was one window in the room, but the
blinders were shut right now. Sam looked at the mahogany desk and the bookcase
behind it. His eyes went quickly to the books and Sam went closer to read a few
titles. He let his fingers brush against the covers of thick medical texts. If
he had time, he thought, he would love to read a few of those. Sam could only
imagine the kind of interesting things he would find in books like that, things
about the human body and how it worked. Medicine was fascinating.

Sam was standing between the bookcase and the desk when he turned around and
saw one of the books was open on top of the desk. His dad must have been
studying that book before, and Sam smiled with curiosity when he went closer to
read it.

There was a brown manila envelope on top of the book with some photographs
inside. Sam could see the corner of the photos but not what was on them. He
supposed his dad had been studying some patient’s case before he left. He knew
he shouldn’t really touch anything, but his dad would take a while to come
back, and it was just a book. And some pictures. What was the harm in having a
quick peek? Sam was interested in things related to how the human body worked,
and he decided he would take a look at what his dad had been treating.

Sam took the envelope and lifted it a little, causing a few pictures to lay
spread on top of the open book.

“Oh,” Sam gasped and took a step back. His breath shortened and his face
contorted with shock and disgust. What the hell was that? Sam didn’t want to
look, but he seemed unable to control his eyes. He studied the pictures and his
heart raced as he tried to understand what he saw. He wanted to put the
pictures back inside the envelope quickly, but for some reason he couldn’t get
his body to move.

He didn’t know how long he stood there, staring at those bizarre photos he
didn’t want to see and unable to put them away. Sam heard the noise at the door
and his heart jumped in his chest. He turned around quickly and looked guiltily
at his dad.

Azazel hid his pleased smile carefully. He knew Samuel was a curious boy, and
he had prepared the photos the boy had just seen. “Samuel? Is everything
alright?” he asked casually as he observed the boy’s edgy attitude.

“I…I was looking at the books and I saw some photos…I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have
touched anything,” Sam apologized quickly, hoping he wasn’t going to get in
trouble.

“Photos…?” Azazel frowned, as if he didn’t know exactly what the boy had found
on top of the desk. And then, pretending a thought had just occurred to him,
Azazel widened his eyes and looked surprised. “Oh! Oh, my…don’t tell me
you’ve…you’ve seen…Samuel…” Azazel walked towards the boy and Sam stepped
aside.

On top of the desk there a few nasty pictures of patients who had come to the
hospital in need of care. The photos were purely scientific to a doctor’s eyes,
but they could be very shocking to other people, particularly to someone like
Samuel.

“I’m sorry, Dad. I shouldn’t have touched the envelope, I was just curious
about your patient, I didn’t know…”

“That’s okay, Samuel…” Azazel soothed him.

“It’s…it’s okay?” Sam was confused. He was certain his dad would be mad.

Azazel sighed deeply and put the photos back inside the envelope. “Do you know
what those were pictures of?”

Sam was taken aback by the question. He looked around himself quickly and
seemed nervous.

“Do you, Samuel?”

He thought about the question and the pictures for a moment and ended up
shaking his head.

“I know what I saw but I don’t know what caused it.”

Azazel nodded and took his stethoscope from a drawer in the desk. “Here,” he
patted the top of the desk. “Sit.”

Sam looked at the desk and for a moment he saw the gruesome image in the photos
again. He hesitated briefly before sitting.

Azazel put the stethoscope around his neck and went closer to his son as he sat
on the desk in front of him. He stood in the V of Sam’s legs and his fingers
went for the buttons on the boy’s shirt.

“Those photos you saw…” he started as he undid the buttons. “are of something
called rectal prolapse.”

Sam cringed visibly. “What causes something like that?” he tried to get past
his shock and into the medicine. If he wanted to be a doctor like his dad some
day, he needed to have the stomach to deal with stuff like what he saw in the
pictures and probably much worse.

“I knew you might ask.” Azazel undid the last button and studied Sam’s naked
chest. “Honey, there’s a reason why I never talked to you about sex.”

Sam’s fingers curled at the word.

“I confess I’ve tried to protect you all this time, but perhaps it’s time you
know how it works.”

Azazel put one end of the stethoscope in his ears and the other against Sam’s
chest. He listened to the fast, healthy heartbeats.

“Whether it’s between a male and female, or two males, a sex act is when
there’s penetration of the penis in the anus or the vagina.”

Sam’s throat constricted and he felt stiff. Hell, he didn’t want to have that
conversation, but how could he tell his dad he already knew that?! There was no
way Sam could tell him about the books he had stolen from Bobby’s collection
without jeopardizing his stash of erotic stories and perhaps putting Father
Bobby in trouble, too. Sam thought briefly of Dean and his heart beat even
faster.

“Dad, I don’t want to know…” Sam said quickly. “Can we just pretend I never saw
those pictures?”

Azazel felt warm inside with appreciation at what he considered was a clear
demonstration of Sam’s innocence.

“But it’s important, my dear boy.” Azazel wasn’t worried about Samuel being
with a girl. There were no girls in the prince’s life that could get close
enough to defile him. Azazel had eyes on Meg to make sure nothing happened. He
was afraid of Lucifer and the power the wealthy man had on both him and the
boy.

Sam felt the cold of the stethoscope as his dad moved it around to listen at
different points.

“Those pictures happened during sex between two males.”

Sam’s heart drummed and he tightened his fingers even more. He didn’t want to
talk about it with his dad, of all persons, but his dad was a doctor, and Sam
was desperately curious now.

“Does it…does it always happen?”

“No,” Azazel answered. “Not always, but quite often,” he lied. “It can happen
when sex is forced, but it can also happen when it’s consensual. Sex between
two men, even though it’s widely accepted nowadays, may result in accidents
because the body is not exactly adapted for that kind of penetration.”

Sam swallowed hard and thought of the pictures again.

“Why…why would someone want to do it, then?”

“Desire, Samuel. Remember the lesson I taught you? You didn’t understand at the
time, but I was trying to save you from desires of the flesh. They can be hard
to control, and when they take over one might do unfathomable things to get
sexual gratification. When someone is deeply affected by their own urges, it’s
hard to think rationally, and then they are left with the consequences.”

Samuel seemed thoughtful and Azazel appreciated that. If Lucifer ever made a
move on the boy, he hoped the nasty image on the photos would be in Samuel’s
mind, helping him to resist.

Sam didn’t say anything, but his thoughts were filling his mind with all sorts
of doubts and images. Was that what would happen to him if he let Dean take
him? That certainly looked painful. How could something that felt so good
result in something so ugly? Of course, Sam hadn’t really been penetrated to
know what it felt like, but everything felt so good with Dean, how come
something so bad could result from it?

“Are there other causes other than sex?”

“Yes, but it mainly happens during intercourse.”

“I just don’t understand how they can let something like that happen…” Sam’s
voice faltered and his eyes strayed.

“They may try to stop it sometimes. But the person being penetrated doesn’t
have control of the sex act, Samuel. Even when it starts consensually, if a
partner becomes rough there’s little to nothing the other one can do. That’s
how strong a grip desire can have on someone. They will hurt the person they
care about because they simply cannot stop the act.”

Azazel catalogued the faster heartbeats with approval. Sam seemed properly
scared, which was great.

“Does it hurt a lot?”

Azazel smiled internally.

“It depends. There’s pain involved, it hurts more the longer you wait to get
treatment.”

“How do you treat it?” he asked, this time with less feelings and more
rationality.

“They come here, they receive an anesthetic, then they are put on my table and
I operate on them. It’s a simple procedure, and in a few days they can go
home.” Azazel put away his stethoscope and took a rubber band from his case.
“I’m sure these men never imagined they would end up on my table when they
decided to give in to their urges,” he said that casually, but he knew Sam had
paid full attention to it.

‘Just imagine it,’ Sam thought, ‘if I have sex with Dean and end up on my dad’s
table looking like that.’ The horrific thought made him shudder, and goosebumps
broke on his skin.

Azazel catalogued the reaction curiously. He let the ball of his fingers run
over Sam’s skin as he adjusted the rubber band around the boy’s upper arm.

“Is everything okay, Samuel?”

“Yeah.”

“I didn’t mean to cause a traumatic impression on you, but since you saw those
pictures…”

“It’s alright.”

“Fortunately it’s something you don’t have to worry about, my sweet Prince. As
long as you stay true to your blood you have nothing to fear.”

Sam watched as Azazel took a syringe with a needle and started looking for a
thick vein. He made a small, feeble sound when his skin was pierced and the
blood flowed inside the syringe. Sam watched as his dad drew enough blood to
run all the tests he wanted, and then released the rubber band around his arm
when he was done.

Azazel took one of the test tubes he had filled and opened it. He let the red
blood pour into his mouth and licked at his lips when he was done.

“My sweet boy,” his smile was wide and his yellow eyes looked adoringly at the
boy. “You don’t have to worry about any of that. Because you’re pure, Samuel.
You are learning to control your urges, and they won’t control you.”

“Will it always be like that?” Sam heard himself asking.

Azazel put the blood away carefully. He needed to take the samples to the
laboratory soon, but right now he focused on the boy again.

“Of course not, don’t be silly. You’ll be grown. One day you’ll be a doctor
yourself, you’ll inherit my name and my practice, and you’ll be making your own
decisions.”

Sam’s lips twitched lightly. Making his own decisions. He liked the idea of
that.

“And when will that be?”

Azazel chuckled and pinched Sam’s nose playfully. “My my…are you in a hurry to
grow up? Please, don’t be. Everything in its due time, you know that.” Azazel
stepped back and Sam started to button his shirt up again.

He got up and watched as his dad organized his equipment.

“Dad?”

“Yes?”

“What about mom?”

Azazel felt a sharp and cold moment of fear at the unexpected question. “What
about her?”

“Was she like you?” Sam wondered, not for the first time. He just hadn’t been
brave enough to ask before, but since his dad hadn’t gotten mad at him, and had
even talked to him about the ‘forbidden subject’, Sam thought he might get away
with a little probing. “Did she drink blood, too?”

Azazel sighed. That question brought back a lot of memories.

“No, honey. Your mom was the most beautiful human being in the world.”

“And you never married again, after she died.”

“How could I? I knew I would never love again.”

“You told me before that you’ve lived for a long time,” Sam didn’t know how old
his dad really was, but he knew he was a lot older than any human Sam had ever
met. “Have you had other kids before?”

Azazel smiled a crooked little smile. Yes, he had had other kids, but none
could possibly compare to how special Samuel was.

“Samuel...a vampire can’t easily breed. When your mother had you it was…well, a
miracle. Something that doesn’t happen very often in a vampire’s life.”

“Will I ever suck blood, too? When I grow up?” That was another question that
sometimes haunted Sam in his sleep, and he seized the moment to voice it.

Azazel shook his head and smiled tenderly at the boy. He let his fingers run
through Sam’s hair and caress him softly.

“You won’t, sweetie. You can rest assured that this curse has not been passed
to you.” Azazel could make Samuel a vampire if he wanted, but that wasn’t part
of his plans for the boy.

“How did it get passed to you? Did your father have it?”

“Holy heavens, Samuel. What’s gotten into you today? Aren’t you a curious
little bee,”  he ruffled his hair and stepped back.

Sam had never had so many answers before, even if most of them were shady and
left him with more questions than certainties when they were given.

“Was it your mom?” he insisted.

“I’ll tell you what. One day, when you’re old enough to understand, I’ll tell
you all about it. The whole story. How is that?”

“That’s fine, I guess.” Sam thought for another moment. “Could you tell me my
mom’s name?

Azazel’s yellow eyes studied Sam intently and he was silent for a moment.

“No, Samuel.” He lowered his eyes and started to prepare his things to leave.
“It still hurts too much. One day, I promise. We should get going now.”

Sam got up from the desk and gave one last look at the envelope. There was
evident discomfort and a twinge of fear in his look. Azazel took that as a
successful outcome for his plan.

“Don’t worry about it,” he said. “Be thankful you have a daddy who worries
about you and is teaching you to avoid getting hurt in the future.”

“Does it happen to girls, too?”

“Some other time. You’ve seen too much for one day. C’mon, let’s go.”

Sam walked out of the office and was guided by his dad to the hospital door
where Crowley was still waiting in the limo.

During the ride back home Sam sat in the backseat and looked out of the window
quietly. When the car rode past the beach, Sam looked at the shore with
longing, and his heart ached a little. He looked at the amusement park by the
beach, and his eyes stared at the highest cart on the ferries wheel.

‘They will hurt the person they care about because they simply cannot stop the
act.’His dad’s words resonated in his brain and Sam worried them over and over.
He kept picturing Dean and he in bed, and the moment Dean would be inside of
him and lose control, and then be unable to stop before it was too late. Sam
thought of the pictures and shuddered.

He hadn’t really read about anything like that in the romances he had stolen
from Bobby. But then again, that had been sex between a man and a woman, and
perhaps it was different with two guys. His dad was a doctor, he knew what he
was saying. Besides, Sam had found the pictures accidentally…it was not like
his dad had meant for him to see that.

‘If a partner becomes rough there’s little to nothing the other one can do’…

Sam pictured himself trapped beneath Dean’s body. The thought usually gave him
a good feeling in his belly, but now it made him feel uneasy.

They said Dean was a sex god, so perhaps it was different with him? Maybe he
would be able to stop before hurting him, maybe it wouldn’t hurt at all.

Sam exhaled a short little breath and shook his head. It was pointless having
those thoughts. Contemplating sex with Dean was nothing but a dream.

Sam looked at the beach again. The more he looked, the quicker he forgot about
the pictures.

By the time Sam got home, Dean’s smile was the only thing in his mind, and his
heart could hardly wait to be with him again.

Chapter 23



It was never easy making the choices he had. A lot of what happened seemed to
have been out of his control, and whenever John revisited the past in his
thoughts it felt as if he was opening an infected wound that bled poison into
his system. No wonder he avoided anything that reminded him of what had
happened. John Winchester spent most of his days running away from the past and
the decisions and consequences of what had happened. He tried to live in the
present so he could numb the pain of not having Mary, and of everything that
had gone down when his desperation took over.

Hence, it was understandable that John kept all the reminders of his past
safely away, out of sight. In a locked chest in the bottom of his wardrobe,
John kept the pictures that were hardest to look at. Not that it wasn’t
difficult enough facing Mary’s portray in the living room—her smile sometimes
haunted his dreams. But these pictures that John kept hidden caused him
physical pain. The one he held in his hand right now, even more so. That’s why
John almost never looked at it, and why, when he did, he had a bottle of some
strong whiskey to get him through it.

Sitting in the sofa in the empty living room, John looked at the photograph in
his hand and poured more booze into the glass he was sipping from. In the
picture, the last taken before Mary died, John saw all the possibilities that
had been taken away from his family. In the smiley faces of the picture, John
saw the future that never happened, and remembered the stinging past he had
lived just a few days after the photo was taken.

John let the memories take over and drown him, and when the bottle of whiskey
was empty, the hollowness inside him grew and threatened his sanity.

He closed his fingers tightly around the empty glass and stared at the pregnant
Mary looking at him in the photograph. The pain was so fierce that he could
barely handle it, it didn’t matter how intoxicated he was. John squeezed the
glass so tightly it shattered in his hand, and the pain of a few splinters of
glass digging into his flesh was nothing compared to the pain in his chest.

There were pieces of glass on the floor, and the bottle fell from John’s hand
with a thud as he studied the blood on his fingers.

The blood in the hospital bed. So much blood.

John opened and closed his fingers slowly, wincing softly at the feeling.

The blood on the white collar, the blood bag hitting the floor.

His vision got blurred. There was Mary, his beautiful Mary in the picture, and
there was his blood, a red reminder of the madness he had walked into when he
found Mary lying dead in the hospital.

A sob tightened his throat and John closed his eyes. The picture fell from his
hand but John didn’t bother picking it up. All the images were in his mind,
swirling, provoking, killing him inside…and little by little, John was
drifting, going back to that time, losing his grip on what was real.

A while later, when someone rang the bell over and over and called for him
repeatedly, the town’s mechanic was still lying unconscious on the sofa, and
who could tell the sort of dreams he was having…


~ * ~


Even though the bar was not opening to the public tonight, Dean Winchester and
his friends could be found drinking beer and talking by the sea shore as the
sun set on the horizon. The bar owner allowed Dean to open the bar and invite
his friends to drink every now and then. He was well aware that a great part of
his profit came from the fact that Dean worked for him—and not exactly because
of his mad skills as a bartender. Dean was probably the most beautiful
attraction the town could offer, and young people both local and visiting,
would end up going the bar just to check him out. That meant lots of money
whenever Dean was the one preparing the drinks. Even if the mechanic’s son
often slipped his flirts the occasional free drink, the owner was extremely
pleased with him, and knew that keeping Dean happy at his job was extremely
good for business.

The three young men drank and talked as they looked at the waves, now growing
darker in color as the sunlight faded and the light poles began to shine their
artificial brightness onto the ocean.

Dean listened to his friends go on and on with their usual banter, but his
thoughts failed miserably to hang on to their words. In his mind, there was
only Sam, and every little detail about him Dean had yet to uncover. The more
he spent time with the boy, the more Dean wanted to know him, really know him.
It seemed uncanny that the more Dean learned about his angel, the more layers
were there waiting for him to dig in deeper. Dean couldn’t wait to go all the
way. He shuddered at the thought.

“Forget him,” Benny was saying. “He’s daydreaming again.”

Dean blinked a few times and looked at his friends’ faces and the way they were
staring at him. “What?”

Castiel and Benny laughed.

“What is it this time? What did prince Samuel do that was so interesting?” Cas
provoked.

Dean sighed. He thought about his last encounter with Sam and the way the boy
had skillfully managed to slip away from Dean’s touching. He was desperately
curious to know what was really going on in Sam’s mind. What did he feel? Why
was he avoiding contact? Dean was certain the boy was aroused out of his mind
when they were together…and then he would think about Sam’s revelation.

“Actually, I was thinking about Sam and then I started to think about how badly
I need to go home and just jerk off and sleep some good eight hours…” he began,
trying to sound more casual than he felt.

“You, my friend, are not the same anymore,” Benny sighed.

“And then I had this thought,” Dean went on as if he hadn’t heard his friend’s
remark, “Say, what’s the longest you’ve ever gone without doing it?” his heart
raced when he thought of Sam’s confession.

“Doing what? Having sex?” Cas asked.

“No, jerking off.”

“You kidding? I do it every day,” Benny chuckled merrily.

“Seriously, though. There must have been some time when you just didn’t…you
know, for a while,” Dean insisted.

Both Benny and Castiel seemed truly puzzled with the question, and Dean could
see they were giving it some serious thought.

“I don’t really know,” Benny admitted. “There are days when I’m just too tired,
or my mind just isn’t into it. But I don’t think I’ve been longer than three or
four days without some.”

“Yeah…10 days, tops. I guess,” Cas shrugged. “Why? How about you?”

Dean thought honestly about it. He had been having sex for so long, and still,
he often jerked off before bed. If he thought of his younger years, when he was
Sam’s age, he didn’t have sex as often as he did now, but he jerked off at
least three or four times during the week. Sometimes four times on the same
day. “A week, maybe,” he pondered.

Dean couldn’t help thinking strongly of Sam. The kid was sixteen years old and
a virgin. How come he didn’t masturbate? Not for the first time Dean wondered
whether there was something physically wrong with him.

“Why are you asking that?” Cas snickered and drank some more beer.

“Just curious,” Dean chuckled and was glad his friends were comfortably drunk
and not in the mood to probe. He definitely didn’t want to share Sam’s secrets
with them.

They were still drinking another half an hour or so later when Bobby Singer
showed up at the bar and greeted them.

“Hey, boys. How are you lot tonight?”

“Fine, Father,” Benny raised his beer and smiled. “Cheers. Did you come to
drink with us?”

“Benny,” Cas looked at him reproachfully.

“Not tonight,” Bobby replied good-naturedly.

“Is everything alright, Bobby?” Dean frowned. His first thought was that
something must have happened to Sam, and that Bobby was there to let him know.

“Yes…I think so. I hope so, actually.”

“What’s going on?” Dean walked past his friends and stepped closer to the
priest.

“I stopped by your father’s garage about an hour ago. I wanted to talk to John.
Are you aware he’s not open? Did he have some kind of appointment?”

“No…not that I know of. Is the Impala parked there?”

“Yes. The Impala is in the garage, that’s why it’s strange. I’m sure it’s
nothing…he must be hunting…”

Dean looked over his shoulder at his friends, the alcohol in his system seemed
to be quickly losing its grip on him and his senses grew alert. He pulled Bobby
by the elbow and away from his friends so they could have more privacy.

“You don’t think he’s hunting, though.”

“No,” Bobby agreed. “I could see his guns in the back.”

“Bobby? What do you think happened to my dad?”

Bobby took a deep breath and looked into Dean’s eyes. He could see the little
kid Dean had once been in those green eyes staring worriedly at him.

“You should probably go home. I’m sure it’s nothing serious. If I know John
you’ll probably find him passed out on the sofa.”

Dean swallowed hard. That wouldn’t be the first time. When he was growing up,
after his mother passed away, finding his dad drunk and unconscious, lying
somewhere inside the house, was not uncommon. With time, the scene became less
frequent, to which Dean was extremely grateful. He nodded and made up his mind.

“Thank you, Bobby. I’ll go home.” And then, as if something occurred to him.
“Do you have any news on Sam? Is he okay?”

“Probably. I haven’t heard anything.”

“Alright. I’ll go check on Dad.”

Bobby nodded and watched as Dean walked towards his friends to say goodbye.
Bobby didn’t care about Dean’s reputation, so what if he bedded half of the
town and flirted with trouble? That was a good kid John had raised.


~ * ~


“Dad?” Dean had to use his key to get inside. The gate was closed, and so was
the front door when Dean arrived at it. “Dad, where are you?” Dean unlocked the
door and stepped inside the living room. “Dad!” he exhaled a weary and worried
breath when he saw the blood.

John Winchester was either asleep or passed out on the sofa. By his feet, on
the hardwood floor, there was an empty bottle of whiskey and the shattered
remains of what used to be a glass. Judging by the bloody hand resting on his
father’s lap, Dean supposed John had squeezed the glass until it broke in his
hand.

Slowly, Dean walked towards his father and crouched, careful to avoid the
broken glass.

“Dad? Can you hear me? Are you okay?”

“Mm,” John mumbled and stirred.

Dean was immediately relieved, but still rather disappointed. He wondered what
had caused this episode of heavy drinking. “How do you feel?”

John didn’t answer.

“How badly did you cut yourself?” Dean took his father’s hand and studied it.
There were several minor cuts and a lot of dried blood. He didn’t seem to be
bleeding anymore, so it didn’t look serious. Yet, when John failed to show a
reaction even as Dean handled his injured hand, the younger man worried how
much his dad had really drunk. “Dad…can you tell me how much you had to drink?”
Dean looked and waited, but there was no response. “Perhaps I should take you
to the hospital for some glucose, eh?”

“No,” John groaned. “M’ fine.”

Dean knew his dad would have reacted at the mention of the hospital. No way
John Winchester would agree to being taken to Azazel’s workplace unless he was
either unconscious or dying. And Dean wasn’t sure about the later.

“I’ll clean this up.” Dean got to his feet and went into the kitchen. He came
back and started to clean the mess of glass pieces before one of them had an
accident. When he got on his knees to take some larger pieces from beneath the
seat, Dean’s fingers found a picture lying there. He picked it up and looked at
the old photo.

‘Mom.’ Dean’s heart thudded faster. There was a picture frame in the living
room with a picture of a smiling Mary that Dean had grown up seeing every day
of his life. This picture was different, though. In the photograph, he could
see his dad and his mom, and himself, when he was just a little boy. Dean
narrowed his eyes and let the balls of his fingers stroke the photo. His mom
was very pregnant in the photo, so it must have been one of the last pictures
she took before…

“Give me this,” John snatched the photograph off Dean’s hand.

Dean looked surprised. Suddenly it was like his dad was not drunk at all. John
got up and started stumbling his way out of the living room and into his
bedroom.

“Dad? How old is that picture? How come I haven’t seen it before?” Dean waited
for an answer, but there was only low grumbling and a door slamming in the
distance. “Dad?” Dean tried. “At least wash that hand with some soap, will
you?”

Dean sighed and then looked at the broken glass with dismay. It didn’t matter
how much time had passed, his dad was still as broken as that glass over the
death of his mother.

“Ouch,” Dean cut his thumb as he finished cleaning up the floor. He saw the
small red dot of blood and sucked his thumb into his mouth.


~ * ~


Inside the bedroom, John’s eyes were bloodshot and teary as he looked at the
photograph. Dean was four years old in that picture, and it was taken a few
days before Mary’s water broke. He had his arm around his wife and the three of
them were smiling brightly. They were a happy family, and the picture showed
that. Despite the financial problems the Winchester were undergoing at that
given time, they were a beautiful family, and John sincerely thought nothing
would change that.

John looked at the younger version of himself in the photograph and could tell
exactly what that young man was thinking. So what if he was having trouble
finding a job? So what if it was difficult to make ends meet? He was a good
mechanic. Sooner or later things would get easier. Besides, with such a
fantastic woman by his side and a great son, what could possibly go wrong?

A lot, apparently.

The day Mary had died had changed John’s life forever. It didn’t matter how
much time passed, John could still close his eyes and remember every moment of
that day as if it had been burned into his memory.


~ * ~


Sixteen years ago…


“John. My water broke.”

John was making himself some coffee when he stood perfectly still and watched
his wife, now standing in the middle of the kitchen with a foolish smile and a
wrinkled forehead.

“We need to go to the hospital, we need to call the doctor, I need to go get
the stuff.”

“Calm down,” she managed to smile even though the contractions were causing a
great deal of pain. “Call the doctor. Then call Karen. See if she can come over
and watch Dean.”

“Yes.” John got up in a heartbeat to do as told. He called the hospital and
talked to Mary’s doctor, then he called Bobby Singer’s house and Karen said she
would be on her way to watch over Dean.

“She’s coming,” John announced.

“Good. Did you call him?”

“Yes, he’s waiting for us.” John thought about the new doctor in town. He knew
some people felt uneasy about him. However, yellow eyes or not, Azazel Dunkan
was a good doctor who had always paid Mary a lot of attention.

“I’ll go to the car, then. Please get the bag, will you?”

“Of course, honey. Do you need help?”

“I’m fine. Just go get it.”

“Mommy…” Dean came running into the living room and hugged his mom’s legs.

“It’s alright, sweetie. Your little brother is coming today. Mommy needs to go
to the hospital to have him, and when he’s here you can go there and meet him,
just like we talked about. Is that okay?”

Dean nodded, but still eyed her with huge, somewhat scared eyes.

“Karen is coming to take care of you. Be a good boy, right dear?” The Singers
lived just a few blocks away, so Karen shouldn’t be longer than five or six
minutes.

“Here.” John came back with the hospital bag Mary had set aside with baby
stuff, and then helped his wife into the front seat of the Impala. When she was
comfortable there, John handed her the bag.

“Where is it?” Mary fumbled inside the bag.

“Where is what?”

Mary made a face and waited, and John laughed when he realized what she wanted.
“Fine. I’ll go get it.”

On his way back inside the house from the garage, John ran into Karen and Dean
talking in the living room.

“Hey, Karen. Thanks for coming.”

“Of course, John. Where is she?”

“In the car. We’re leaving now. Just gotta get one more thing.”

“Everything will be fine. Rest assured that I’ll take good care of this boy.”

John thanked her again and looked at his son. Dean was staring into his
father’s eyes, his look a little lost as if he didn’t quite understand the
sudden fuss. He was old enough to know what was going on, but still too young
to deal with all the emotions his parents and he, too, was experiencing.

“It’ll be okay, sport. I’ll take mom to the hospital. You can visit when I come
back,” he explained. “Will you be okay here with Karen?”

“Yes, Daddy.”

“Good boy.” John kissed his son’s golden head before going into the bedroom
once again.

When he stood at the door and looked at floor, John laughed lightly at what he
had left behind and what Mary had insisted that he come back for. John walked
further in, crouched and picked up the teddy bear that had fallen from the bag.
Mary wanted it to be their newborn son’s first toy, as it had been Dean’s once,
as it had been hers once too. He looked at the stuffed animal for a moment and
smiled. John thought of Mary waiting for him in the car and the baby on the way
to make their family bigger. It would be difficult, but they would make it,
because they loved each other so much.

John squeezed the teddy softly and turned around, taking the toy with him.

Chapter Notes
     Guys, my beta has been very busy, and I didn't want to bother her. I
     also didn't want to wait much longer for an update, so here it is.
     All the mistakes are my own, sorry.
 
Chapter 24



Sixteen years ago…


“She’s coming,” Azazel put the receiver down. “Make sure everyone else is
dismissed. We’ll handle it alone.”

The other man looked at him and smiled, and when he did it, Azazel could see
his fangs.

“Control yourself. You need to be a doctor tonight. At least pretend.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Now go make sure we have the hospital for ourselves. I don’t want any nurses,
let alone other doctors around the place tonight.”

It wasn’t a big hospital and it was a small city. Getting privacy wouldn’t be
hard at all, especially when Azazel was quickly growing to be the town’s most
trusted and respected doctor.

The yellow eyed vampire took a deep breath and licked his lips. His heart was
beating faster than humanly possible, and his senses were sharp. This was the
moment he had been waiting for, and he needed to make sure everything went down
properly.


~ * ~


They left the moment Karen arrived, and the ride to the hospital was, luckily,
a short one. When John arrived, he was welcomed at the entrance by Mary’s
doctor and an assistant doctor, who helped Mary settle on a wheelchair and
pushed her towards the delivery room.

John watched as the two doctors moved ahead with his pregnant wife. Mary’s
moans echoed in the hallways every time she had another contraction. John’s
heart was tight in his chest as he held his wife’s hand. When they arrived at
the waiting room John looked around and frowned.

“It’s awfully quiet in here.”

“We don’t have any patients in at the moment, so most of the staff just went
home. Dr. Robson and I will make sure your wife has all the assistance she
needs. Don’t worry,” Azazel explained.

John nodded and felt his chest tight with worry.

“John…” Mary reached out her hand and John squeezed it.

“Can I go in with her?” he looked hopeful.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Winchester. Since we’re understaffed, it’s better if we don’t
have one more person to worry about in there. Take a seat or go outside to grab
a smoke. We’ll let you know how it goes.” Azazel looked at the pregnant woman.
“Are you ready, Mary?”

“I am.” Mary nodded. She looked at the doctor and then at her husband before
putting a protective hand on her belly. “I love you, John. And we’ll see you
soon, okay?”

“I love you, too.” John kissed her lips for what he didn’t know was the last
time, then he watched her disappear inside the room with the two other men.

Azazel locked the door and looked at the table where Mary gritted her teeth out
of pain.

“Mary Winchester…” Azazel smiled widely. “If only I could tell you how happy I
am to have you here today.”

Mary looked at him and tried to smile, but another contraction had her moaning.

“I’ve looked for your blood lineage for so long. For some years, I thought I’d
lost it. All that history, all that magic…and then here you turn up, in lovely
little Glasstown. I guess the world is a place of irony, indeed.”

“Doctor?” Mary looked confused. “I don’t understand… I’m ready to have the
baby, right?”

Azazel smiled and followed protocol. He examined her carefully and nodded
appreciatively at the dilatation. “Yes, my dear. Everything is perfect. You’re
going to give birth to a precious baby, who I'm sure will be every bit as
alluring as his mother.”

Mary smiled despite her pain. Then she looked at the way the other doctor
stared at her and felt a spike of something uneasy grab her heart.

“I can’t wait to see him,” she whispered.

“Neither can I.” Azazel’s eyes were unreadable. He looked at his assistant and
fell into his professional role. “Doctor? Please grab an IV fluid and some
oxytocin. Let’s deliver this baby.”


~ * ~


A couple of hours after she arrived, Mary gave birth to a healthy baby boy who
cried massively when he was born.

“My son…” Mary’s lips quivered. She reached out her exhausted arms towards him.
“Please…let me hold him.”

The longer it took Azazel to reply, the more creased Mary’s brow became. She
didn’t know what was going on, but the feeling of dread came out of nowhere and
spread quickly inside of her.

“I’m sorry, Mary. Now is the part where you’re no longer needed.” Azazel held
the baby and looked at the other man. “You can have your way.”

“What?” Mary frowned, her exhausted body trying to understand what was
happening. “I don’t get it… Dr. Dunkan, please…”

“You have to go, Mary. But rest assured your son is beautiful.”

“No…no, no….what are you doing? Give me my son…!” Mary saw the other doctor
smiling wickedly as he got closed to her. When he was just a few inches away,
Mary could see the fangs in that crooked smile. Her heart raced and she tried
to move despite her worn out body. “Stay away from me! Azazel! What’s
happening?!”

The other vampire got between her legs and sunk his teeth into her femoral
artery. Mary whimpered at the feeling, she thrashed, but couldn’t put up much
of a fight. As her blood was quickly drained from her, she watched the yellow
eyed man holding her crying baby, and that was the last thing her perplexed
eyes saw in the world.

“It’s enough. Let her bleed out, we need evidence,” Azazel commanded and the
other vampire stopped drinking. Soon, there was a bloody mess on the bed, and
Azazel checked Mary for a pulse. There was none. Now he just needed to take
care of the baby.

“Go talk to the father. I’ll prepare him.”

When he was alone with Mary’s body and the baby boy, Azazel laid him gently on
an ICU nursery bed and admired him. He didn’t have much time, but he couldn’t
resist his curiosity. Azazel pricked the baby’s finger with a needle and
watched the small red dot as the crying intensified. Smiling, Azazel licked at
the blood and closed his eyes. The sweetest taste filled his mouth and warmed
his usually cold body. Now, Azazel knew he would have to wait until the boy was
old enough so he could enjoy him, but that was something he would gladly do.

Azazel shrugged off his daydreaming. He had more pressing matters now. “You’ll
have to be strong, little one. This won’t hurt a bit, but you need to hang in
there.” What he did next was extremely dangerous, but he had no doubt the boy
could handle it. Azazel filled a syringe with propofol—a powerful inductor of
general anesthesia—and injected the infant with it.

In the waiting room, there was little to nothing John could do. He couldn’t
hear anything coming from the delivery room, and there was no one there he
could talk to. He sat down and got up at least twenty times as he waited for
information. John roamed around the hallways but he never strayed too far,
afraid he might miss the chance to get an update on Mary.

She had been in for about two hours when Dr. Robson came to talk to him.

“How is she?” John was visibly restless.

The fake doctor sighed and shook his head.

“Mr. Winchester…there have been…complications.”

“What? What happened? What kind of complications?”

“Doctor Dunkan will fill you in. He tried everything he could but Mary lost a
lot of blood…”

“Let me see her! I want to see my wife.”

“Please sir, you need to stay calm and let the doctor do whatever needs to be
done.”

“Get away from me, I need to see her.”

John pushed the man standing in front of him and walked into the restricted
area, towards the place he knew his wife had been taken.

“Sir—”

John felt the hand on his shoulder but he hardly heard anything. His eyes were
fixed on the bed and on the red sheets soaked with blood between his wife’s
legs. John’s throat felt dry and it tightened, and for a moment his vision
blurred and he had to shut his eyes not to fall.

“Mary…” he whispered, and opened his eyes again.

“Sir, you can’t…”

John once again shoved the man trying to hold him and walked towards his wife’s
body. “Mary…” he cupped her cheek softly and his body was shaky with disbelief.
“What happened, what…” John couldn’t form words. Then he turned and looked at
Azazel and that was when he saw the baby he was intubating in a neonatal
intensive care unit. “What the hell is going on?!”

“Sir…”

“That’s alright, Dr. Robson. Leave us,” Azazel told the other vampire
pretending to be a doctor. He meant for John to be there, and he needed that
time alone.

“Are you sure…?”

“Yes. Get out and see if anyone else needs help.”

John was hardly aware of the other doctor walking out and leaving them alone.
He felt so weird and lost he couldn’t begin to understand what was happening.
He walked slowly towards Azazel and the baby, but he didn’t even look at the
child because his heart was breaking, and all he could think of was Mary and
all that blood.

“Please, doctor. My wife…Mary…please…she needs help, too. She needs…”

“She’s dead, Mr. Winchester.”

“NO!” John cried. The moment he heard those words he could feel his world
crumbling down fast. “No, she isn’t! You’ve got to…” he looked at Mary lying
lifeless on the bed and the blood on the sheets. “Please, just try to do
something, please…”

“John,” Azazel used his first name in an attempt to get to him. “I’m so sorry.
Your wife is dead, but your son isn’t.”

John couldn’t move. He looked from Azazel to his dead wife, and the pain in his
chest escalated to something physically unbearable. John walked towards the bed
and grasped Mary’s hand in his own. She was still warm.

“Mary? Baby…? Please…please don’t do this…please don’t leave me…” John felt the
sobs come freely. His mouth trembled as he caressed her sweaty forehead with
his other hand. “Please…” John blinked and two fat tears rolled down his
cheeks. That was the woman of his life, and John simply could not fathom life
without her.

Azazel gave him time. He let John cry by his wife’s bed as it sank in slowly.
Meanwhile, he made sure the baby was breathing with mechanical ventilation and
checked his vital signs. He waited as John gave in to grief.

John had no idea how much timed passed with him sitting beside Mary’s bed,
unable to move, unwilling to process what had happened. It might have been a
few minutes, it might have been an entire hour. He didn’t know. Time seemed
unreal as his pain only grew.

Eventually, though, John got up and walked towards the place where Azazel
watched after the baby.

“Is this…” John licked at his lips and swallowed his salty tears. “Is this my
son?”

“It is,” Azazel agreed. He took a deep breath and prepared himself for what he
was going to say. “It pains me to tell you this, John, but your wife had an
uterine rupture during the procedure. We tried everything in our power to get
the baby out quickly and prevent the massive hemorrhage, but she was beyond our
help.”

John listened to the words but it was hard grasping their meaning. It felt like
some sort of sick dream he would eventually wake up from.

“Unfortunately, by the time we managed to get the baby out, he had been without
oxygen for too long, and I’m afraid this might have impacted greatly on his
life expectancy.”

“What does it mean?” John went even closer, and for the first time he looked at
the baby on the NICU’s bed, and the tube feeding oxygen to his lungs. “Is he
going to die, too?”

Azazel sighed and seemed thoughtful. “John,” he began. That was the moment he
had been waiting for, and he hoped it would go down as planned. If not, Azazel
was prepared to kill John, take the baby and disappear. “Your son spent crucial
time without oxygen in his brain. There’s no telling what will happen to him.
He might die in the next few hours, or he might live for a few days. Who knows,
he might even make it for a few weeks.”

John’s heart crushed under the growing weight of his sorrow.

“And that, I’m afraid, is not the worst case scenario.”

“What do you mean?”

“He might live. He might survive these first few months and make it to a full
life.”

“How is that worse?”

“His brain has already suffered from the lack of oxygen. There’s no telling how
much damage has been caused. I really regret having to tell you this, but
there’s a very real chance that your son will have mental disability as a
consequence of the brain damage he suffered.”

“Are you telling me my son is as good as dead and that if he does live he’ll
be…” John thought of the word retarded, but it seemed way too cruel for such a
tiny little baby.

Azazel shook his head. “I’m a doctor, but I have to confess that neuroscience
is still a mystery to us. Yes, your son might die before the sun sets today,
and yes, he might live with some kind of disability, but it’s also true that he
might be normal.”

John looked desperate and confused, and that was exactly the way Azazel wanted
him.

“So there’s a chance…” John thought of the baby, of Mary’s and his son, but
soon the sight of blood took over his mind and he cringed.

“Yes. There’s a chance the boy will be normal, of course there is. But it’s my
job to inform you that he could also live in a persistent vegetative state.
This is very serious, John. A child with special needs will require a special
family. You need to understand how much your life will need to change to adapt
to this baby if he, by some miracle, survives.”

John looked at the baby boy and the tube disappearing inside of him. He thought
of Mary, dead on the bed, and Dean, waiting for him at home. What could he do?
How would he manage to live? He had a son waiting for him, he had a life to go
back to, but Mary’s death hurt to the point where it was hard to breathe, and a
part of John didn’t think he could make it. How could he possibly take care of
a child with special needs when John didn’t think he could take care of himself
in the near future?

“John?” Azazel asked softly as John seemed deep in thought.

“I…I don’t know what to say. You tell me there’s a chance he can be normal…” he
tried, hopeful.

“Yes, medicine isn’t like mathematics, John. Sometimes miracles can happen. I
have to warn you, though. You need to be prepared for what may happen when, and
if you take him home.” Azazel studied the way John looked at the baby. “You
have to think of the future. If he makes it, he’s probably going to need a good
structure to keep him alive. You might need to equip and adapt your house to
machines that will make it possible for him to live.”

“Machines?...”

“I don’t want to scare you, John. I just need to inform you of all the possible
outcomes. But yes, it might come to that. Wheelchairs, oxygen tanks, twenty-
four-hour attention…all that is part of a reality we can’t ignore here.”

John thought of how hard it was to make ends meet. Not only was the love of his
life gone, he now might have to watch his son die because he couldn’t afford
the kind of treatment he might need to stay alive. John ran his fingers through
is hair and exhaled loud and wearily.

Azazel let him cry quietly for a moment before he spoke again.

“John…? There are other options, you know.”

“What other options?!” John barked, angrily. “My wife is dead, my son is most
likely dead too, and if he does live I won’t have money to take care of a kid
with special needs. How do you think that makes me feel?!”

“I understand. That’s why I said there are other options.”

John stared blankly at Azazel.

“There’s adoption. If he makes it past the first week, his chances of living
improve. You could always find a family willing to take a kid with special
needs in.”

“Are you kidding? Who would adopt a baby that might die at any moment? Besides,
you said it yourself that he will probably need constant care if he survives.
That’s expensive. I wonder how many rich couples are out there now looking for
a baby like him.”

Azazel was respectfully quiet for a moment. He looked at the baby boy and let
the back of his hand brush his cheek. He was shaking inside with his bubbling
desire, but on outside he was a dedicated professional filled with sorrow and
empathy.

“It’s so ironic, you know…”

“What is?” John watched the doctor touch his son’s face lightly.

“My wife passed away before we could have kids. I would’ve given anything to be
a father. Even if just…” Azazel wiped at his eyes and the tears he produced
carefully, “just for a few days…” he shrugged and chuckled humorlessly.

“You’re kidding, right? You would seriously like to be a father for a few days
and then watch your son die? Or would you rather watch him grow unaware of his
own existence, suffering every day of his life?”

“That’s one way to put it, but I see it differently. All life is
precious…specially to a doctor. Now look at me. I have all the money in this
world, more than I could possibly spend, but when my wife passed I knew I
couldn’t love anyone else. She’s left me without an heir, without a child to
make my existence worthwhile.”

John seemed confused. He wasn’t crying anymore.

“You have your son at home, Dean, right?”

“Yes.”

“I’m sure you love him very much. You’d anything for him, wouldn’t you?”

“Of course,” John answered readily.

“See? I don’t have this feeling. And now I might never have it…”

“Why haven’t you adopted a kid?”

Azazel shrugged. “I keep telling myself I’m busy, that it’s pointless at this
stage of things…but I look at this baby, John, and I can’t help but think I
could give him everything he needs in his short little life.”

John’s eyes focused on the way Azazel caressed the kid’s brow tenderly before
listening to his heart with the stethoscope.

“You don’t mean that.”

“I’m sorry….” Azazel blinked away a tear, and made sure John could see it
before he wiped it off his face. “I shouldn’t get emotional. This is not
professional, forgive me. It’s your son, and you will want to take him home, I
understand, forgive me…”

John swallowed hard. The idea was as desperate as what he felt inside, but it
was taking shape fast, and John was too emotionally wrecked to think it
through.

“I can’t deal with another death. I can’t take him home, show him to my other
son and then wait on my toes for the moment he’ll be dead in his crib.”

“I understand.”

“And you and I know I certainly can’t afford to give him what he needs if he
lives longer. Hell, I can barely pay for the hospital bills.” Last month they
had barely had enough to eat. How could he hope to offer that baby any kind of
special treatment? Those things were expensive.

Azazel’s heart thudded in his chest. His blood buzzed. He was hungry. He would
have to go out and hunt tonight. A cow, perhaps. Something big that didn’t draw
attention.

“John… I could…” he made as if it was difficult for him to say the words. “I
mean, it’s your son, I understand that. I know I have no right to, but I’m a
doctor and I had the most sincere affection for Mary. If you would allow me, I
could take care of the baby for as long as he lives. Of course, it’s your son
and you will probably think this is crazy, but I swear to you, nothing would
make me happier than to use all this money I have to make his little life more
comfortable and perhaps give him a chance…” Azazel sounded passionate now. “You
can’t possibly understand what it means to someone like me to have a chance at
taking care of such a frail little thing, but if you…”

“Yes.” John heard himself saying.

Azazel stared intently at the man in the room with him. He went very still.

“John?”

“You can afford the best, can’t you? You’ll give him everything he needs.
You’ll do everything that needs to be done to save him, won’t you?”

“Of course! I’ll do everything I can, I…”

“Then yes. You can have him. Please take care of him.”

Azazel knew John was desperately sad and not thinking straight, and he was
counting on his judgment being clouded by grief to make this decision.

“John, there is a chance he will be a normal boy. You know that, right? I mean,
if he lives…”

“Then that will be a miracle. I’ll pray that he does. I just… I can’t be a
father to him right now. I’m too broken, my life is…”‘over’, John thought, and
then he thought of Dean waiting for him at home and his heart tightened. “I
can’t give him what he needs. He’ll certainly die without money to pay for the
best care possible.”

“But if he survives, won’t you regret your decision? John, you’ve got to think
this through. If I take the baby, there’s no coming back, for both of our
sakes. You understand what I mean, don’t you?”

“I do,” he didn’t, not at the moment, but he couldn’t realize that. “You’ll be
a father to him for as long as he lives, won’t you? You promise to give him
everything, you promise me he’ll have everything he requires, don’t you?”

“Of course I do! I’ve been waiting all my life for this feeling. I don’t care
if it’s only for a few days. Of course I’ll give him everything. And if by some
miracle he makes it, then he’ll inherit everything I own. I’m not kidding,
John. This is serious to me. If I take this baby he’ll be my son, and he’ll be
entitled to everything I have, including my unconditional affection.”

“Mr. Dunkan…Azazel, can I call you Azazel?”

“Yes, of course.” Azazel smiled inside.

“Then Azazel…do I have your word?” John tried to sound in control, but he was
falling apart inside. He had no idea whether or not he was doing the right
thing, but Mary’s body was still warm on that bed, and she would have wanted
their son to have a chance, a chance John couldn’t give him.

Azazel was smiling ferociously inside when he closed the distance and looked at
the hand John had reached out before him.

“You have my word.” They shook and held hands for an entire minute in which no
one said anything. The baby in the NICU was hauntingly quiet when John went
closer to look at him.

“Would you like to hold him?” Azazel asked when he saw John studying the baby
carefully.

John shook his head. He was biting so hard on his bottom lip he could taste
blood. “I’d better not. I can’t…can’t handle it if he dies…”

“I know,” Azazel soothed him.

John wanted to. He wanted to hold that little baby and take him home and put
him on Dean’s lap and tell him it would be alright, but he couldn’t. That
little baby with the tube inside of him and the machine breathing for him might
die in his arms, it might die in Dean’s arms, and then John just couldn’t live
with himself knowing he might have stood a better chance if he had a wealthy
doctor taking care of him and making sure he had everything he needed. Perhaps
it would be all for nothing, perhaps the baby only had a few hours to live, but
if he had longer, then John was convinced, for now, that having a specialist
ready to help him with all the money to cater to his needs definitely beat
being a mechanic’s son and going to bed on an empty stomach every now and then.

And if the boy lived, if he survived without any serious brain damage, then
John told himself he would be happy knowing the kid would be better off in a
life his real father couldn’t have possibly offered him no matter how hard he
tried.

“You should leave, John. I’m going to watch over the baby. He needs intensive
care, you know. I also need someone to take care of your wife’s body. You’ll
need to discuss it with our staff. I’m really so sorry.”

“I get it, I…” John looked at the baby once more before he turned around. He
took a few steps towards the door and his heart ached in his chest. Maybe he
shouldn’t, maybe…

“You’re doing the right thing here, John.” Azazel squeezed his shoulder. “I can
only imagine how hard it feels.”

John nodded and his eyes welled up again. He didn’t turn around as he left the
room.


~ * ~


Ten minutes later, Azazel was monitoring the baby’s vital signs, making sure
the amount of anesthetic he had given him wouldn’t depress his nervous system
more than it should. He was startled when he heard the knock on the door and
saw John Winchester walking in again. ‘Dammit,’ he thought. If the broken-
hearted man had changed his mind, Azazel would be forced to kill him and run
away with the baby, and with the good life he had built in the city, that was
the last thing he wanted to do.

“John?” he asked, trying to hide his impatience.

“I…I just…” John was holding the teddy bear in his hands. He walked towards
Azazel and his eyes avoided the baby lying quietly just a few feet away. “Mary
wanted him to have it. It belonged to her before being Dean’s… Could you…could
you give it to him?”

“Of course.” Azazel took the teddy bear and felt relieved.

“Also, if it’s not asking too much…” John stole a glance in the baby’s
direction and then at the bed where Mary’s blood dried on the sheets. “We were
going to name him after Mary’s father. Do you think you could…I understand if
you don’t want to, I do, but…”

“Of course, John. What were you going to name him?”

“Samuel.” John shut his eyes and sighed.

“For as long as I live, Samuel will have everything he needs.”

John felt a stab of pain, but also joy. “Thanks.”

“Go now, John. You need to take care of her.” He nodded towards Mary’s body.
“And I need to take care of Samuel.”

Azazel put the teddy bear beside the baby very carefully, and that was the last
image of his son that John would have for the next sixteen years.

Chapter 25



Dean picked Sam up from class at the usual time and they exchanged a few words
and kisses in the corridor below the church before they were outside walking
down the streets. When Sam looked around, though, he realized he didn’t know
the streets they were now walking on.

“Dean? Where are we going? I thought you’d said we were going to your place…”

“I said we were going home,” Dean smiled.

“So?” Sam looked around, lost.

“My dad’s home. I forgot my keys there when I left in a hurry to go see you. We
can’t go into the shack unless I can open the door.” he winked playfully and
Sam’s heart skipped an obedient beat. “We’re almost there.”

“Oh.” Sam stopped on his tracks when it dawned on him that they were about to
walk into John Winchester’s home.

“What? It’s just a few more blocks.”

“Dean…” Sam’s heart raced at the thought of finding himself into the mechanic’s
house. John was his dad’s worst enemy. There was very little Sam knew about the
people in town, but he had heard his father speak ill of Dean’s dad way too
many times.

“What?” Dean went closer and studied Sam’s hesitance.

“Are you sure that’s a good idea? I mean…your dad and mine…”

“That’s okay, baby. My dad wasn’t home when I left. He’s probably still out
hunting.”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course. Besides, I’ll be quick.”

Sam still waited a moment longer before letting Dean guide them down a few
houses towards the garage where his dad worked.

When they arrived in front of the place, Sam held back again.

“Come in,” Dean insisted.

“Maybe I should just wait here. You said you’d be quick, right?”

Dean looked into Sam’s eyes and read his uneasiness. He hated the fact that
their dads had bad blood between them. Dean wished there was something he could
do about it. If only he understood the nature of all that hatred…

“It’s alright, Sam… I swear. Even if my dad is in, he won’t yell at you or
anything. I won’t let him.” Dean couldn’t picture his father losing his head
and being nasty to Sam. The kid was nothing like his rich father, and Dean
trusted his dad was not unreasonable. Besides, he would most likely hunt until
it was night. “Hm?” Dean tugged at Sam’s hand and planted a kiss on his lips.

Sam licked at his lips and sighed.

“Okay. But make it quick, please.”

Dean smiled and eventually Sam smiled too, albeit shyly. The younger boy let
himself be led into John Winchester’s house, and while Dean disappeared
somewhere inside to look for his keys, Sam stood still in the living room,
studying the furniture around him and hoping Dean would find what he needed
fast.

Every minute Dean was gone felt like an eternity. The more time passed,
however, the more Sam relaxed. It seemed like Dean’s dad wasn’t in, so Sam
allowed himself to study the room with a little more curiosity.

The boy’s eyes fell on a picture frame resting on top of a wooden dresser. Sam
looked around briefly to make sure he was alone, then he went closer to the
picture and touched the photo with his fingertips. He looked at the beautiful
blond woman in the photograph staring back at him, and Sam wondered whether
that was Dean’s mother. It must be. And she was beautiful. It was only a matter
of seconds before Sam’s mind was drifting. Not for the first time in his life,
Sam wondered what his mom might have looked like. Was she as pretty as Dean’s?
Was she…

“Who are you?”

Sam was so startled that he almost dropped the picture. Thanks to some higher
power he was able to hold on to the photograph and steady it on top of the
dresser before he turned around.

Sam looked at the man staring intently at him, then he looked at the rabbit he
carried in one hand and the gun he held with the other. Sam’s heart raced when
he understood he was now looking at Dean’s father, the person his dad hated the
most.

“I…I’m a friend of Dean’s…” Where was Dean? Sam could hardly move so nervous he
felt. He just wanted to get out of there; maybe he should turn around and start
running, maybe he should—

“Oh, hi Dad. You came back early.” Dean arrived at the scene, to Sam’s relief.

John looked at the kid in his living room and at the picture he had been
staring at. His chest felt tight and John felt as if all the strings in his
heart were being pulled at the same time. That boy, that boy hanging out with
his son could only be…

“That’s Samuel. Some people like to call him Prince Samuel, but to me he’s just
Sam,” Dean smiled at the younger boy reassuringly.

Even though he was nervous and sort of scared of that tall man holding a dead
rabbit, Sam made himself step closer in his direction and reach out his hand.

“Nice to meet you, sir.”

John’s heart thudded. Samuel. Sam. The baby he had walked away from, the baby
who was not supposed to have survived. For a moment John simply stared. The
mechanic looked at the boy in his living room as if he had forever lost his
words. Sam looked perfect. He looked like such a healthy, smart kid. John’s
heart ached when he thought of his wife and the boy he had never brought home
from the hospital.

For a moment, Dean watched the scene with growing apprehension. The longer it
took his dad to shake Sam’s hand, the more Dean feared something bad might
happen. He looked at Sam standing in the middle of the living room, his hand
reached out before him, and he just wished his dad would let go of the stupid
past and see that Sam was a good kid.

“Nice to meet you.” John transferred the shotgun to his other hand and shook
Sam’s. Dean watched the scene and released the breath he had been holding.

“I just came for my keys. Sam and I are leaving now.”

John nodded. He didn’t trust his voice. He couldn’t look away. His eyes
couldn’t have enough. In those few moments John tried to learn as many details
as he could from his younger son’s appearance.

Sam could tell Dean’s father was studying him with unveiled interest. He chewed
on his bottom lip and wondered if the older man would say something.

“It’s um…” John began. The more he stared at Sam, the more dangerously wet his
eyes became as they welled with emotion. “I’ll cook this rabbit for dinner. If
you want to come over…”

Sam was taken aback by the invitation. He could tell Dean’s dad seemed
uncomfortable, so why was he doing that? Why was he trying to be nice? Wasn’t
he the lying bastard who spread nasty things about his father?

“Thanks, Dad.” Dean couldn’t hide how much he appreciated his father trying to
be nice. It filled him with hope that perhaps someday that grudge between their
dads could be over. “But Sam needs to be home before dinner.”

“I do,” Sam said. “But thank you very much, sir. I really appreciate it.” Sam’s
words were coated with genuine surprise and honesty.

John nodded. He felt awkward and unsure of what to say next. Part of him wished
that kid would get the hell out of his house, because it hurt too much looking
at him now and facing the terrible choices John had made in the past. The
longer he stared at Sam, the easier it was to drown with regret. Yet, it was
also true that John wanted to lock that door, tell that kid everything and make
sure he never left his true home again. ‘I can’t do that,’John thought,
desperately. “Maybe some other time, eh?”

“Yes, thank you,” Sam said politely.

“Alright. We’d better go. Thanks, Dad. I’ll come back tomorrow to finish the
tune up.”

John just raised his hand with acknowledgment and watched as Dean took Sam’s
arm and led him away.

The moment his two sons were gone, John walked towards the photograph Sam had
been staring at and touched Mary’s face with his fingertips. He closed his eyes
and saw the blood on the bed where Mary had died, and he saw the lifeless baby
intubated in the hospital. How could he have known? Why hadn’t he been strong
enough?

John rubbed at his eyes and swallowed down a sob. The joy and the pain of
seeing his son for the first time in so long took his breath away. “I’m so
sorry, baby…please forgive me…” he looked at the picture intently as if Mary
could somehow tell him what to do.


~ * ~


“I got something for you,” Dean announced when they arrived at the beach cabin.

Sam’s heart picked up speed. There he was again, in the one place he dreamed of
being during his days, the same place he was terrified of finding himself in.
Being alone with Dean, in his place, was both madness and bliss. Sam couldn’t
wait to be touched and to touch Dean again, and yet, he knew it was only a
matter of time before Dean figured out something was wrong and Sam had to give
it all up.

“You do?”  Sam asked, trying to shrug off the depressing thought.

“Yeah. Come here.” Dean opened the refrigerator and got something from it.

Sam watched as Dean put a beautiful pie on the kitchen counter, before him.

“Is that pie?”

“You do know what it is,” Dean teased.

“Of course I know what it is,” Sam pretended to be annoyed. “Just because I
haven’t tried something it doesn’t mean I don’t know what it looks like.”

“Really?” Dean’s voice dropped to something intimate, and when Sam realized the
implications of what he had just said he blushed.

The older man couldn’t help but chuckle at Sam’s embarrassment.

“This is an apple pie. I know, I know. It’s as traditional as they come, but I
love it. I want you to try it.”

Sam looked at the dessert and frowned. He could only imagine how much sugar and
fat had been mixed into that. His dad would have never allowed him to eat
something like that.

“Alright,” Sam agreed.

Dean smiled wolfishly and cut Sam a piece. He watched as the boy took it to his
mouth and bit down.

“So?” Dean asked, expectantly.

“Wow,” Sam managed to say through a mouth full of pie. It was so sweet it made
his head spin. The taste spread on his tongue and all that sugar made him
instantly happy. “It’s good,” he was able to say after swallowing down the
rest.

“Have some more,” Dean offered.

“No. Seriously, it’s ridiculously sweet. Give me a moment.” Sam shook his head.

“At least try the icing. You didn’t take any before.” Dean covered two fingers
with it and placed them above Sam’s lips.

Sam let the fingers into his mouth, and even though he had enough sugar in his
system to last for a week, he lapped at the icing eagerly.

The moment Sam’s tongue started licking around his fingers, Dean understood how
much he had been holding back. His cock stiffened and his breath shortened in a
matter of seconds, and before Dean knew it, he was pushing his fingers back and
forth into Sam’s mouth, rubbing his two digits against Sam’s tongue.

Sam knew something had shifted. Dean’s eyes were clouded and there was heavy
lust all over them. Sam didn’t know exactly what he had done to cause that, but
he knew Dean must really enjoy having his fingers sucked, so he kept it up a
while longer.

Dean shut his eyes when Sam sucked on his fingers. His cock twitched and he
licked at his lips. Lately, it had been difficult to keep a leash on his
arousal.

“Is it that good?” Sam marveled at the reaction he got.

Dean smiled thickly and took Sam’s hand in his. “Here, let me show you what it
feels like.”

Sam watched when Dean took his thumb to his mouth and slid it past his lips.
The warm wetness of Dean’s lips wrapped around Sam’s finger while his tongue
rubbed against his digit, and Sam wasn’t expecting to feel what he did.

It seemed like there was a direct connection between his finger and his crotch,
because Sam felt himself harden the more Dean licked and sucked on his finger.

“How…how come…” Sam’s voiced sounded throaty as he watched his thumb disappear
past Dean’s lips.

“Feels good, doesn’t it?”

Sam nodded.

“Can you imagine how much better it’d feel if it was your dick in my mouth,
sliding in and out?”

Sam’s knees buckled. He retreated his thumb and felt his heart slamming in his
chest. There it was, the fever that Dean made him feel in his bones, making him
stupid, making him hot and desperate.

The moment Sam’s eyes fluttered shut and his lips parted with a labored breath,
Dean couldn’t hold back.

“Bed,” he uttered the word and covered the distance between them, and for Sam
the next few minutes were nothing but a blur.

Their mouths crashed together as Dean led them towards the bed. Sam could feel
his lips being parted by a greedy tongue that licked and provoked. He felt the
edge of the bed against the back of his knees and then he was already on top of
it, with Dean following close.

Sam thought of saying something but Dean was so intoxicating that it was
difficult to think. It was the first time that Dean took control like that, and
Sam felt all of his body tingling with desire.

Dean could smell the arousal Sam couldn’t hide and it drove him mad. He could
hardly think straight so much he wanted to take the boy over and over until
they collapsed out of sheer exhaustion.

Dean tugged at Sam’s hair lightly and exposed his neck. He smiled lustfully
before licking at the curve of skin.

“Hm,” Sam shuddered.

Dean was about to suck on the boy’s weak spot when he noticed a couple of red
dots on his skin.

“Seems like the mosquitoes know your weakness, too,” Dean chuckled.

“What?” Sam frowned.

“You got a couple of mosquito bites on your neck.”

Sam swallowed hard and tensed.


“Morning, sweet Prince. I’m in a hurry now, but I needed to see you before I
left.”
Sam watched as his dad got closer and he tilted his head to the side, because
he knew what he wanted.
“You’re such a good boy.”
Azazel cupped his cheek lovingly before sinking his teeth into his neck. Sam
barely flinched as his dad drank for a brief moment. He pulled back and licked
at his lips.
“Have a good class, Samuel.”


“Oh.” Sam didn’t say anything. For a moment it freaked him out that Dean would
know what happened in his home, that everything would be crystal clear, but of
course it wasn’t. When Dean didn’t say anything else about the teeth marks, Sam
couldn’t deny that he felt a spike of disappointment, as if part of him wanted
to get caught.

All of these complex thoughts were gone the moment Dean’s lips closed on the
curve of his neck and licked him there. Sam moaned and squirmed, and there was
heat pooling in his lower belly and spreading to every corner of his body.

“Dean…” Sam pushed him away. He couldn’t let it go on, he couldn’t lose
control. Even though his dad had already drunk from him this morning, he might
decide he wanted more at night. “Let me…let me touch you again,” Sam tried.

Dean looked into Sam’s eyes.

“Let me…” Sam smiled, hopeful, and cupped Dean’s hardness through his pants.

Dean barely moved when a shiver traveled down his spine. He was intrigued by
what he saw in the boy’s eyes. Yes, Sam wanted to touch him, and yes, he was
trying to avoid something. Dean was having none of that now.

“No.”

Sam gasped with surprise when Dean pushed him flat on his back on the bed and
crawled between his parted thighs.

“I want to touch you, too. Let me give you pleasure. I know you want it.”

Dean thrust his hard-on against Sam’s matching one, and the boy let another
moan slip past his parted lips. Dean pinned Sam’s hands above his head and
smiled seductively at him. He rolled his hips again and the boy bucked into him
obediently.

‘Oh, no,’ Sam thought. ‘Oh, god…he’ll make me come.’ Sam’s brain was half
desperation to get away and half sheer lustful need to give in. The more he
thrashed, the more friction he caused, and the harder his cock became.

“Dean…” Sam begged. The frown on his face spoke volumes of his conflicted
state.

“Shhh…it’s okay, baby…just relax…” Dean cooed.

Sam licked at his lips and tried to hold on to his senses. Dean’s body was warm
and it weighed on top of him in a delicious way. His scent invaded Sam’s
nostrils, and it was sweeter than pie. Sam was about to shatter under the
strain to keep control.

“Please…” Sam shook his head.

Dean’s lips brushed Sam’s ear and he whispered hotly at the same time he thrust
against Sam’s midsection. “Remember the time in the elevator? When I slipped my
thigh between yours?”

Sam shook and bit down hard on his lip.

“Do you remember rubbing against me?” Dean asked breathlessly.

Sam nodded. His mouth felt dry and his blood pumped so fast it buzzed in his
ears.

“Good. I was hoping you hadn’t forgotten it. Because I haven’t. I still think
of all the things I told you I was gonna do to you. Do you remember?”

Sam’s breath was now clipped and irregular.

“Remember what I said I wanted to do to you?”

Sam felt his thighs parting to increased the friction, despite what he knew he
had to do.

“Dean…” he begged again, weakly.

“I said I wanted to lick you open…” Dean licked at Sam’s ear and nibbled softly
on his ear lobe. “I still think about it. I think about tickling you with my
fingers and fucking you with my tongue…”

“No…” Sam shook. He was so close he could taste his orgasm. And if he came, as
wonderful as it would feel, it would be over between them. His dad would
realize something was wrong, Crowley might be forced to speak, and Sam would
never see Dean again. “Please!”

Dean pulled back a little to look at Sam. The boy beneath him was glowing with
need, and yet, he was also suffering. Dean couldn’t understand the amount of
anguish he saw on Sam’s face. Why did his face contradict his body’s every
impulse?

“Sam?” Dean sat on the edge of the bed and away from the boy, and watched as
Sam pulled his knees up and buried his head between his arms.

There was no response for a moment. Sam wasn’t crying, even though he felt on
the verge of tears. He was just too ashamed to face Dean.

“Sammy?” Dean tugged at his wrists gently until Sam relaxed and looked back at
him. “What’s going on?”

“You’re mad at me, aren’t you?” Sam looked sorry and broken, and Dean’s heart
tightened in response. It felt like there were way too many emotions taking
over Sam’s thoughts right now, and it was hard for Dean to keep up.

“Why would I be mad?” Dean frowned.

“I… I can’t. I’m sorry. I can’t do it.”

Dean narrowed his eyes.

“Can’t do what? Have pleasure?” Dean tried to smile, but the way Sam looked at
him made Dean’s skin break with goosebumps and his chest feel chilly. “Sam…are
you afraid of something?”

Sam looked at Dean and then dodged his eyes. He stared at the sheets and
listened to his own quickened heartbeats.

“Maybe I should go…” he tried.

“Sam.” Dean held Sam’s wrist gently to make him stay. “I think we should talk.”

     Guys, the story is currently not beta-ed. Sorry about that.
 
 
Chapter 26



‘Oh, God, no…’ Sam cringed.  Was this seriously it? The moment he would have to
walk away and not look back simply because he couldn’t tell Dean anything?

His secret, it wasn’t like most secrets, Sam was sure of that. He couldn’t tell
people about his father because that would put Azazel in danger, and even
though Sam had conflicting feelings about his dad, he was the only family Sam
knew and Sam didn’t want to cause him harm.

“Sam?” Dean asked. He could feel the way Sam had started to shut down. He
didn’t need to know anything about psychology to know the boy in his bed had
built a wall around himself and watched him through a tiny crack in his shield,
warily. “It isn’t the first time you tell me you can’t do anything when we’re
together,” Dean stated. “So maybe you’d like to tell me what’s going on in your
head right now?” Dean was genuinely sincere, and his voice was soft and
inviting.

Sam’s hazel eyes were wide open but his lips remained sealed. His heart was
beating quickly as Sam thought of what to say.

“I just can’t.”

“And why is that?”

There. There it was. The one question Sam could not, for the sake of his
family, answer. Yet, he didn’t want to lie to Dean.

“I’m sorry…” he said, for lack of better words.

Dean found Sam’s hand and pulled it closer to his body. He squeezed gently and
waited a moment more.

“I…” Sam began. ‘I can’t have an orgasm’, Sam thought with despair. His heart
skipped a beat and his tongue felt thick with embarrassment in his mouth,
making it difficult to speak. “I’m not supposed to...”

Dean looked at the boy carefully. Even though Sam wasn’t making much sense, he
was visibly disturbed and Dean couldn’t help but wonder.

“You’ve told me before that you don’t touch yourself. Is it really true?”

Sam struggled with what to say. The words kept pouring into his mouth like
water from a dam, but every time he tried to speak they shattered against his
lips and died before he let them out.

“My dad…” he eventually said. “He says I shouldn’t.”

Dean studied the way Sam looked so uncomfortable and nervous. He wished he knew
exactly what was behind those feelings. Since Sam was clearly holding back
something, Dean kept trying to think of what could possibly be happening with
the kid.

He thought of Sam’s life behind the mansion walls and of his classes with
Bobby, in the church, and something occurred to him.

“Is it because of religion?” Dean knew that some people took chastity very
seriously. He’d had sex with a few girls who had, for a while, been obsessed
about waiting for marriage because of their faith, until the moment they just
couldn’t wait anymore. Whereas some of these girls had been dying to get a
taste of life and enjoy themselves, others confessed they felt just too guilty
whenever they had pleasure, even if they went at it solo. The fact was that Sam
only left his home to go see a priest, inside a church, so perhaps the kid did
grow up in some sort of cult that frowned upon sexual intercourse.

Religion? Sam thought about it. No. Not really. But it was a damn good excuse.
Drinking blood might not exactly be what Bobby Singer preached about in his
church, but the way his father’s need for blood shaped Sam’s life, what with
all the restrictions that came with it, he could see the similarities.

“Kind of. It’s hard to explain.” Sam was chewing hard on his bottom lip.

Dean wondered what he could say to get more information from Sam. The boy was
struggling with his words, and definitely hiding something.

“So your dad wants you to remain a virgin, is that right?” he asked, trying to
offer some help for Sam to open up.

The boy let out a deep sigh and nodded.

“And how do you feel about it? I know it’s your dad and it’s hard to ignore the
things we are taught when we’re growing up, I mean, I know how hard family can
be…but how is it like for you? Do agree with him? Do you want to wait?”

“No, I don’t.” Sam said, and it was like his chest felt light with a
straightforward, honest answer.

“So I don’t understand what’s keeping you. You’re a guy; it’s not like your dad
or anyone has a way of knowing if you had sex or not. You’d have to tell them
yourself.”

That’s where Dean was terribly wrong, and there was just no way of making him
see that.

Sam licked at his lips and didn’t say anything.

“Is that why you don’t touch yourself? Has anyone told you it’s wrong or
dirty?”

Again, it wasn’t a religious issue, but Sam could relate a lot to that train of
thought.

“Kind of…” he said in a small voice.

“Sammy...” Dean smiled softly. “It’s not like they will know if you do
something. You can jerk off as much as you want and it’s not like they'll be
able to see it in your eyes,” he said, amused.

Once again Dean was wrong, but Sam just couldn’t tell him that.

“Let me ask you something…” Dean went closer to Sam in bed and placed a hand on
Sam’s knee.

Sam’s heart rate responded immediately to the feeling of Dean’s nose grazing
the curve of his neck. He swallowed hard and his balls ached with impossible
arousal.

“That time in the elevator, on your birthday…” Dean began. His voice was barely
above a whisper into Sam’s ear. “I pressed against you, I could feel your hard-
on against my thigh…”

Sam breathed forcefully through his nostrils and bit hard on his bottom lip.

“Tell me, did you come?”

Sam shut his eyes and it took him a few seconds to try and steady his
breathing. That moment in the elevator was still very intense, and Dean’s
breath tickling his skin made it that much harder.

“Yes…” Sam whispered, painfully aroused at the memory.

Dean licked his lips and kissed the spot right behind Sam’s ear, slow and
wetly. He loved the way the boy’s skin broke into goosebumps.

“And that wasn’t bad, was it? Do you remember how it felt?”

Sam nodded quickly, and when Dean pulled away to look into his eyes Sam was
shaking lightly.

“Then why can’t we do that again?” Dean arched his eyebrows seductively.

He didn’t understand, and Sam couldn’t blame him. That night, on Sam’s
birthday, everything had been different. To begin with, Sam had been caught
completely off guard. He had had no idea what to expect, which made the arousal
that built up quickly and unexpectedly much more than he could have handled.
Besides, Sam didn’t know who Dean was that night. As far as he was concerned,
that was a face Sam would not see again. If he lost control and came in his
pants, there was nothing to lose, nothing but the consequences he might have to
face with his angry dad. Perhaps Azazel would have hit him or punished him in
some painful way, but Sam’s heart wouldn’t have broken as it would if it
happened now.

After a few weeks of these secret encounters, sneaking out of class to be with
Dean, there was too much at stake. If Sam lost control and came, and if his dad
found out, Sam would never be allowed out of the mansion again, and now Dean
was not just a charming stranger—he was someone Sam wanted to be close to,
someone he liked way too much for his own sake. Now there was a lot to lose if
he let it go.

Sam didn’t care about the physical punishment he might face, but not seeing
Dean again because he couldn’t control his urges would hurt him badly.

Dean wondered once again about the many thoughts he could almost see dancing in
Sam’s attentive eyes. The boy was studying him carefully, and Dean could tell
he was still holding back.

“Can I ask you something? Will you give me an honest answer?”

“I can try,” Sam said quickly, and Dean chuckled.

The older man let his palm run up and down Sam’s thigh, not to provoke, but to
soothe and try to put him at ease.

“Are you afraid of having sex?” Dean understood that whatever Sam’s crazy
father had taught him played an important role in the way Sam held back when
they were together, but as far as he could see it, if Sam really wanted to
deepen their intimacy, there was nothing stopping him, nothing except, perhaps,
for his own fear of sex.

Sam immediately thought of the pictures he had seen on his father’s patient
file at the hospital. He cast a side glance in Dean’s direction before looking
away.

“You can tell me, it’s okay,” Dean encouraged him. “I really wanna know what’s
going on in your head.”

“Maybe a little, yeah,” Sam admitted.

“Good. You should tell me stuff like that. I want to know how you feel about
what we do, okay?”

Sam nodded without much certainty.

“Are you afraid of me?” Dean asked and his eyes turned serious.

“No,” Sam answered. He didn’t think Dean would hurt him, not intentionally
anyway.

“Then what are you afraid of, mm?”

Sam thought of his father’s words telling him about the patient. He could hear
his words saying that sometimes the person couldn’t stop, not until it was too
late, not until there was serious injury for the person being penetrated.

“I…there are things I don’t really know…about, you know…about it.”

“About sex?” Dean did his best to refrain from smiling, but the truth was that
Sam’s embarrassment was extremely endearing.

Sam nodded quickly.

“Well, then. Ask me. I have been around a little, some might say… Perhaps I can
help,” he winked, and it made him look both playful and charming.

Sam thought once again of Dean’s alluring sex god reputation and he felt
deliciously shy to have his full attention. It almost made up for all the fear.

“Does it hurt?” Sam asked, trying not to sound as embarrassed as he felt.

It was Dean’s turn to take a deep breath and ponder his next words.

“I’m not gonna lie to you, Sammy. Yes, there is some pain involved.”

Sam shut his eyes briefly and saw the nasty pictures again. He hoped the
shudder that traveled him wasn’t visible.

“To be honest, I’ve never been on the receiving end of it. I’ve never bottomed,
as people say.” And when Sam frowned, Dean went on. “The bottom is the guy who
gets penetrated, and the top is the one doing that penetration, although a
bottom can still be on top and be the bottom, if you know what I mean.”

Sam seemed confused. Dean chuckled.

“Anyway, from my experience, it can hurt a little, yes. Particularly when
you’re not used to it. See, the rectum doesn’t stretch as much as a vagina, so
it will hurt if the top is not careful or even if he’s just too big.”

Sam wouldn’t lie that the way Dean spoke about sex, so shameless and lightly,
was extremely sensual. It spoke to the scientific side of Sam, at the same time
it tried to make him relax. If Dean wasn’t embarrassed, why should he?

“That’s why we need to use lube. That thing I have in my first drawer,
remember? You freaked out when you saw it.”

“Yes,” Sam smiled shyly at the memory.

“Besides, if I was the one about to have sex with you, I would want to prepare
you very carefully.” Dean looked at the boy waiting for him to go on so eagerly
and his cock twitched as he pictured his next words. “First, I would make sure
you were beside yourself with pleasure. I would lick you and touch you until
you were squirming beneath my fingers.”

Sam’s breathing pattern became slightly faster.

“I would make sure you were ready for my cock,” Dean licked his lips and his
throat thickened with lust, “by stretching you with my fingers until you were
just begging me to do it.”

For a moment they just looked at each other and listened to their louder
breathing. Dean was eventually able to shake the feeling off and go on. “So
yes, it’ll probably still sting a little, but I promise there’s much more
pleasure than there is pain.”

“What if there’s an accident?”

“What do you mean?”

Sam kept thinking of the prolapse and ending up in his father’s hospital as a
patient with that condition.

“You know…an accident,” Sam had thought Dean would know what he meant,
considering it was something that happened quite often according to his dad.

Dean shrugged. “Well, you’re supposed to go to the bathroom before you do that,
and take a good long shower, you know, so there are no accidents…”

“No!” Sam burst out laughing. He felt a bit ashamed, right, but also highly
amused at what Dean was thinking. “That’s not what I meant!” he laughed some
more, but made a mental note to do just that if his life were ever his own to
do with as he pleased.

“What do you mean, then?” Dean laughed too, delighted at the ringing sound of
Sam’s laughter. He didn’t know what he loved the most about the boy, if it was
his shyness, his curiosity, his laughter…

“I mean, when you can’t stop and then there’s a…” his smile faltered.

“Go on…” Dean encouraged him.

“When you can’t stop the fucking and the bottom ends up with an anal prolapse,”
Sam said the words quickly because he was once again struggling with his shame.

Dean frowned. “What?”

“Yes.”

“No, I mean…prolapse? Where did you get this from?”

“It’s quite usual, isn’t it?”

“Ah, no it’s not.”

It was Sam’s turn to frown.

“Seriously, though, where did you see anything about it?” Dean grew curious,
not to say worried. What kind of ideas did that boy really have about sex?

“I saw some pictures,” Sam said. “In dad’s office. It was a patient. He had
that.”

“From just having sex?”

“I think he was raped. Or the guy who fucked him couldn’t stop. I can’t
remember now. But I heard it’s common.”

“Who told you that?”

Sam didn’t want to say his dad did. He had a feeling Dean was about to express
a much different view on the matter. Now, his dad was a doctor, why would he
lie to him? Besides, Azazel had no idea his son was fooling around with Dean,
so why would he go to the trouble of scaring him about sex? And anyway, Sam had
found the pictures himself, his dad had had nothing to do with it.

Sam shrugged.

Dean had an idea what the answer to that was, and it angered him that Sam’s dad
might have put this crazy idea in his head. Whatever sick religion he followed,
he was a doctor for Christ’s sake. He shouldn’t lie about that kind of stuff.

“Sam, I’ve never seen anyone have it in all my life. You know I’ve slept with
many people, and I honestly don’t know how many guys I’ve fucked during these
years…” Dean didn’t want to say that, but he needed to be honest. “Some of
these guys, actually, a great deal of these guys had their first time with me,
but most of them had been doing it for years. Nothing has ever happened. If the
guy you saw on the photos was raped, well, I supposed it could happen. But
still, it must have been one hell of a violent assault, and it has absolutely
nothing to do with consensual sex.”

Sam seemed to consider it carefully.

“Besides, you were told a lie. How come the guy ‘couldn’t stop’? There is no
such thing as can’t stop.”

“There isn’t?”

“I mean, there are a few moments when you’re about to come, and in those few
seconds it’s virtually impossible to stop, that’s true. But those are seconds.
To injure someone like what you saw it would have taken a guy pounding some
other dude’s ass relentlessly despite the obvious pain the guy was in.”

That made sense, Sam thought. He didn’t know all the mechanics of sex, so it
was easy to believe whatever he was told, but Dean, of all people, must know
what he was talking about.

“So you can stop at any time if the other person is uncomfortable?”

“Of course! Just because you are in the middle of it, nothing stops one of the
people involved from changing their minds. And then you stop, it doesn’t matter
whether it’s a girl or a guy, a bottom or a top…if someone is getting hurt or
if they decide they don’t want to have sex anymore, it’s over.”

Sam let that sink in. It felt good having talked to Dean about those things. It
didn’t change his situation, but it was good nonetheless.

“You know,” Dean caressed Sam’s face. “Sometimes I get this feeling that you’re
afraid to let it go, to lose control…”

‘Yes,’ Sam thought.

“Nothing needs to happen between us, alright? I would never force you to do
something you’re not ready to. But I wish you could relax when we’re together.
There’s something called foreplay…” Dean licked his lips unconsciously.
“something at which I’m quite good at, truth be told,” he chuckled and arched
his eyebrows.

Sam smiled, he was relishing the warm feeling of Dean’s fingers on his cheek
and neck.

“Just because we do something it doesn’t mean we’re going all the way. You have
already touched me, and if you let me touch you, that’s all it needs to be.
There’s a lot I can do to you and you can do to me; we can have a lot of fun
before you decide you want to have actual sex.”

Again there was the wall between them, the secrets about his life in the
mansion, the blood secret that prevented Sam from agreeing with Dean and
relaxing under his touch. Yes, he was a bit afraid of the pain, but that wasn’t
a big deal. If Sam didn’t have his dad and the blood feeding, he was sure he
would have already given in and allowed Dean to show him just how good it could
be between them. Sam wanted it.

“Thank you.”

“For what?”

“For answering my questions.”

Dean laughed. He looked deeply into Sam’s eyes and drew closer for a kiss.
Their lips touched leisurely and they kissed softly for a long time. When the
kiss broke, Dean’s hand was still at the back of Sam’s neck, stroking
rhythmically.

“I want to have sex with you, you know that. But that’s not all I want. I
haven’t really been with anyone else because you’re all I think about.” Dean
felt his insides go shaky with the revelation.

“I don’t want to disappoint you,” Sam said, unable to hide his anxiety. He
began to understand that it was too late. He had been so worried about getting
hurt if they had to stop meeting each other, that he didn’t realize Dean too
might suffer. Sam grew quiet as sadness crept into his thoughts, and it must
have shown on his face because Dean felt the need to say something.

“Listen, I’m not pressuring you to do anything, okay? I want you to feel good
with me, I want you to relax. And if you chose to have sex with me, then you
can be sure I’ll love every minute of teaching you to enjoy yourself. But you
don’t owe me anything.”

“I want to,” Sam confessed. “I want to be with you…” Sam wanted it so much that
it hurt. He wanted to feel Dean’s skin on his; he wanted to be Dean’s to do
with as he pleased, because he knew Dean would make him feel good and safe. But
Sam couldn’t turn his back on his only family. He couldn’t make his dad hate
him. He honestly didn’t know what to do.

Dean pulled Sam close and hugged him. Sam hugged back and didn’t say anything.
Even though Sam still couldn’t tell Dean the whole truth as to why he couldn’t
do what they both wanted, today wasn’t the day when they would have to say
goodbye. If it all came down to being with Dean or exposing his father in a way
that could have him killed, Sam just wouldn’t know what to do. Fortunately for
him, he wouldn’t have to decide anything today.

“Does it mean you want to see me again?” Sam asked tentatively, but there was a
smile on his lips as he buried his face against Dean’s neck.

“What do you think?” Dean tickled him and Sam jumped and squirmed against him.

“NO!” he cried and laughed.

Perhaps, Sam thought vaguely, keeping this on just to have to end it abruptly
was way too cruel on them. The smart thing to do was just to stop everything
before they went too far, before they got too hurt.

“Of course I want to see you. I want to see you tomorrow, and the day after
that, and after that…” Dean planted butterfly kisses on the curve of Sam’s neck
as the boy writhed with pleasure.

Tomorrow he would end this. Or the day after that, perhaps.

But not today. Definitely not today.

Chapter 27



John would regret his decision of giving his baby up every day of his life
since the moment he walked out of that hospital, but it wasn’t until he saw the
blood in Azazel’s mouth that he realized it had been a terrible mistake.

At first, even though it broke his heart, John still thought he had made the
right call for the infant. In the beginning, he was so numb with losing Mary
that he hardly gave it much thought, but as the months started to pass and the
grief started to settle in his heart without the ferocity from before, John
began to think more and more of the baby he had seen unconscious in the
hospital the day his wife had died.

The first time John looked for Azazel again it had been six months from the day
he had chosen to give his son up. The doctor had met John in his office and
they had talked for a while.


“John Winchester…hello, my friend. How are you holding up?”

John took a seat in front of the doctor’s desk and sighed deeply. The wound was
still bleeding and upon seeing Azazel’s yellow eyes John felt the same piercing
pain that gripped his heart when he had seen his wife covered in blood six
months ago.

“I’m getting by…thanks for seeing me.”

“Of course. What can I do for you?”  Azazel didn’t want to see John Winchester
again, but of course he knew that wouldn’t be possible. Besides, that man in
front of him didn’t look as if he was there to get his son back. He was still
the same grief ridden, defeated man Azazel had handled before, albeit it a
little more under control.

“I just…I’ve been wondering you know…about, about the baby, Sam…” John licked
at his lips and his chest tightened. “You said he might have just hours or days
to live…and I never heard anything, so I just figured I’d ask, you know…” he
trailed off.

Azazel nodded with understanding.

“You would like to know if he’s still alive?”

“Yes.” John didn’t know how much he wanted the baby to be alive until he heard
it out loud.

“He’s a little miracle, John. Samuel is alive and well.”

“Oh…” a wave of relief traveled him and John smiled lightly.

“I run some tests on him every now and then, because there’s still no telling
whether there will be any serious consequences for him in the long run, but so
far he seems to be developing like any normal child.”

“I…I’m glad to hear that.”

Azazel narrowed his eyes and focused John intently. “Are you? Really?”

“Why wouldn’t I be?”  John frowned and sounded outraged.

Azazel sighed. “I’m sorry. That’s just me being protective. I remember telling
you that Samuel had slim chances of surviving even for the next hours, and yet,
he seems to be growing into a healthy boy. I guess I’m afraid you’ll want him
back,” Azazel tested the waters.

“You also said there was a chance he would be a normal boy,”  John pointed out.

“Yes, I did.” Azazel nodded with acknowledgment.

John looked around as if he was searching for words. “Look…I still have
nightmares about that night and all that blood and that quiet baby just lying
there. If I had to go back on time and be faced with the same decision, I’d
still want what was best for the baby. Perhaps he’s only alive now because he
has a doctor near him all the time. Yes, it’s my son, and I wish I could keep
him, but I’m a man of my word. That child is not a puppy that will get passed
around. I wouldn’t want to mess with his life now, even though he’s still
young. I suppose you and him have already developed a bond or something…”

“We have,” Azazel said. “I love that baby, John. I’ve loved him since the first
time he was in my arms and his life was hanging by a thread. You might think
this is crazy, but it feels like he was put in my life for me to save him.”
Azazel said exactly what John needed to hear.

The mechanic nodded.

“I can imagine that. After only six months I could no longer imagine anyone
taking Dean away from me.”

“I’m glad you understand it. And everything I said before remains true. Samuel
will have everything he ever needs, not only concerning his health condition.
He’ll be the Prince of the empire I’m building, and one day he’ll inherit
everything I have.”

“It’s not about the money…”  John sounded hurt.

“Forgive me,”  Azazel said quickly. “I know it isnt’t. But I just want you to
know the boy will have everything I can offer. He’s my son now, and I’ll make
sure his life is good.”

“Thank you…”

“Is that all, John? Forgive me if I sound indelicate, but I have a busy
schedule this afternoon…”

“Yes, yes… that was all.” John got up but seemed hesitant as he reached for the
door. “Would it be okay if I dropped by every now and then just to get some
news on Sam?” John’s throat was tight. “It wouldn’t be all the time, I promise.
And I don’t wanna get in the way of your relationship with him, no…it’s just to
know how he is, you know, how he’s growing, and if…”

“Yes, John,” Azazel interrupted him. “That would be alright. You’ve given me
the most precious thing in my life, so of course I can give you updates on
him.”

“Thank you.” John looked grateful as he stood by the door.

“It’s my pleasure.”


During Sam’s childhood, in the years that followed Mary’s death and his birth,
John paid Azazel visits in the hospital every three to four months. His visits
were always brief, not longer than fifteen minutes, and John got to hear the
doctor tell him how well Sam was doing, that he was learning to walk and to
talk, and pretty soon that he was learning to read and write too. The miracle
boy, as Azazel referred to him, who against all the odds was proving to be not
only a normal kid, but a very bright one, too.

John was always respectful of Azazel’s relationship with the kid. When John
made his choice, he knew there was no coming back. He was grateful for Sam’s
life, even if he could not be a part of it. He supposed Mary would have
understood him in the end.

Everything had been smooth sailing for years because John never once imagined
there was anything wrong about what happened that the day in the hospital, and
he never had reason to be suspicious of the doctor who delivered Sam, because
even though Azazel had those weird yellow eyes, he had always been good to
John’s family. He had offered to take his sick kid and nurse him to a healthy
life! John thought he was lucky that Azazel had been there at the right time to
take care of Sam when John certainly couldn’t have.

A few years after Mary’s death, John and Bobby Singer went from well-known
acquaintances to very good friends. John knew what had happened to Bobby’s
pregnant wife—hell, the entire town did—and the painful coincidence had drawn
them to each other, almost inevitably.

Together, the mechanic and the priest spent countless nights drinking and
talking, and hunting too. Bobby hadn’t been a priest for a long time, and he
was able to enjoy the rough nights in the woods talking about everything and
anything, drinking and falling asleep under the sky, coming home with a hell of
a hangover the next day.

John was also aware that Bobby took special pleasure in looking after Dean. He
knew Bobby’s pain from having fatherhood taken away from him so abruptly and
cruelly, and John was happy to let Bobby into Dean and his lives, specially
since Bobby was such a good influence on the boy.

Bobby was knowledgeable and a very good teacher, and it was no surprise that
the town’s most wealthy wanted his help to homeschool his son. When Bobby told
John that he would be going into Azazel’s mansion to teach the Prince, John’s
heart raced. Of course Bobby didn’t know who said prince was. Everyone in town
knew that Azazel had a son, and that he sometimes took the kid to the hospital
for check ups, but no one could really say what he looked like since he didn’t
go out much. John thought that Azazel overprotected the kid, perhaps because of
what had happened in the past. It wasn't like John could really do something
about it, though. What would he do? Walk up to the kid, tell him he was his
real daddy and bring him back into his life? The more years passed, the more
complicated things became. Sam was no longer a baby, and he certainly had his
life established by now. He wouldn’t need anyone messing with that. So, as far
as John was concerned, Azazel had no reason not to let the kid venture outside
his walls, but perhaps the doctor enjoyed the mystery around his heir.

Even though John often felt compelled to tell Bobby everything, in one of their
drunken nights sharing their pain, he had never said anything, not until he saw
the blood and things changed. Before that, John had to make do with what little
information Bobby sometimes let slip from his time with prince Samuel in the
mansion. John knew Bobby didn’t like to talk much about it, and he was pretty
sure Azazel appreciated him a lot for the discretion. That didn’t mean John
didn’t probe a few times.


“So…heard you’re teaching Azazel’s mysterious son. How’s that going?” John
asked casually after a few beers.

Bobby shrugged, as he always did whenever someone asked him about Sam. “It’s
okay. Just like any other job I had before. I teach, he learns.”

“I’m pretty sure it ain’t like other jobs, though,” John tried. “I mean, that
kid lives behind closed walls all the time. Few people know what he looks like.
For all I know you might be teaching a horrendously deformed kid.” John’s heart
raced. He sometimes dreamed of Sam, even though he had no idea what he looked
like now.

Bobby laughed warmly. He drank more from his beer and shook his head lightly.
“You and a lot of other people say the same. Trust me, prince Samuel is like
any other kid his age.”

“He is?”

“Yeah.” Bobby didn’t share details of his meetings with Sam with anyone else,
but John was his best friend, and they had had a few beers, so Bobby just went
on a bit more.

“Sure he doesn’t have two heads or anything like it?”

Bobby chuckled. “The prince is like any other kid. Though he’s very sharp. He
doesn’t go out much, but that boy learns fast.”

“Oh, really?” Deep inside, even though Bobby couldn’t know, John beamed with
pride. “And what does he look like?” John hoped his question still sounded
casual, but he was aware of the curious look Bobby gave him.

“Why would you want to know that?”

“Just curious, like everyone else.” John said quickly.

Bobby went quiet. So much time passed that John didn’t think the priest would
speak again, until he did.

“He hasn’t got yellow eyes.”

It was John’s turn to laugh a small and nervous laughter. “Well, I guess that’s
something. Cheers, Bobby. A toast to normally-eyed people!”

“You’re drunk, John,” Bobby said as he raised his drink.

“So are you.”

The two men toasted and drifted into other topics, and that night John dreamed
of the baby he had left in the hospital room. Except that in his dream the baby
was not unconscious, because in the dream the baby was staring back at him with
huge, yellow eyes. That night John had woken up perspiring and cold, and he had
not fallen back into sleep again.


For years, Bobby and Azazel were both sources of scarce information John had on
his son. He was content with what he got, because even though learning about
Sam was important to him, it also hurt like hell. John went to his occasional
appointments with Azazel in the hospital, usually after business hours, and he
took advantage of the eventual drunk conversation with the priest to hear a
story or two about the boy that Bobby might let slip. It wasn’t much, but it
was what John assumed he deserved after having giving the boy up.

Because he had told Dean that both his mom and the baby had died, there was no
one in his life who could remind him of Sam, no one except for Mary and the
baby in his dreams. But those were demons John had to accept, and perhaps he
would have lived with them during all of his life if he hadn’t walked into
Azazel’s office that night, unannounced, to find him drinking from a blood bag.

John wasn’t crazy. There had been blood on the doctor’s mouth and on his white
shirt. It was there, red against white, and after seeing that nothing could go
back to what it was.


John wasn’t sure how he got home that night. The more he tried to tell himself
that he was going crazy, the more he kept seeing it over and over again—the
yellow eyed doctor drinking from a blood bag.

When John walked inside, he found Bobby and Dean putting together a puzzle on
the floor.

“Hey John, are you alright?” Bobby frowned, got up and walked towards his
friend.

John didn’t say anything. His breathing was still uneven and he supposed his
face still showed his shock.

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

“Really? Because it looks as if you’ve seen a ghost or something.”

“Or something,” John mumbled.

“What?”

John shrugged his thoughts off and tried to clear his head. He needed to think
about what he had seen, and for that he needed to be alone.

“Thanks for watching him, Bobby. You can go now.”

“Are you sure? If something happened I could stay a bit longer..”

“Nah, it’s fine. See you tomorrow, right?”

“Right…” Bobby nodded and left, even though he was sure something had happened
with his friend.

“Dean, it’s way past your bedtime. C’mon.”

“Aw, dad. Just let me finish this.”

“C’mon. Go to bed. You can do this tomorrow.” John watched as his kid muffled a
groan and got up, disappearing into his room moments later.

Alone, John sat down and ran his fingers through his hair as his mind worked
furiously.

What did that blood mean? There was no way the doctor had been drinking it. But
he was, and John was sure of that. There must be a reason for that to have
happened, some kind of medical motive or anything scientific that could account
for that bizarre behavior.

John tried to come up with something, but his mind couldn’t give him any
logical explanation for what he had seen. Unless, John thought, and then a cold
chill ran up and down his spine, there was none. If John let go of logic and
delved into the mysteries of the unknown, he felt tempted to connect Azazel’s
gleaming yellow eyes to some kind of supernatural condition.

“He must be some sort of…,” John whispered softly and trailed off. His heart
raced and his head hurt. “I’m going batshit crazy,” he ended up saying. There
was no way that was even a thing. There were no such things as supernatural
creatures. “I need to get some sleep.”

John went to bed and tried to relax, but his mind kept going back to the blood
stain on the doctor’s clothes.


During the days following John’s weird meeting with Azazel, the mechanic could
not think of anything else. He had the feeling he was going crazy, but he
couldn’t let it go. If that yellow eyed man was anything but human, then John
needed to know, because that man, that…thing, had his son! And when John
started to think that his kid was in danger, he started asking Bobby for all
the literature his friend had on ancient History and Anthropology and Myths,
anything Bobby, as a biologist, a professor and a priest, was able to collect
during his life. And after reassuring his friend that John had grown a vague
interest for folklore and the like, which John was pretty sure Bobby didn’t
believe one bit, John delved into the literature he could find.

The more he read, the more convinced John grew that he wasn’t going crazy. He
knew what he had seen, and it was there in the old books Bobby had lent him.
No, it still didn’t make much sense, but John couldn’t ignore his gut feeling
any longer. The problem was that if he was right about it, and John just knew
he was, then what the hell was he supposed to do?

Azazel had his son! And by now Sam was a grown boy, so it was not like John
could just march past the mansion’s doors and get him back. It was not like
Azazel would let him anywhere near the boy anyway. And then there was Bobby,
who had seen his kid, and who told him stories about Sam and his learning. It
was not like Azazel was hurting the kid, right? John believed Bobby when he
told him that ‘the prince’ was a smart and healthy boy.

Nonetheless, the whole think certainly made John question what had happened so
far in his life. If what he thought was true, then what the hell had happened
to Mary? John felt his head spin at the thought. What if her death hadn’t been
an accident? What if… But John had seen the unconscious baby…so his wife must
have had a difficult labor, unless…unless Azazel did something to the kid, too,
unless he planned everything and…


John slammed the book shut and breathed hard. He had been reading up on ancient
lore for three weeks now. His head was throbbing and his heart was thudding.
No. That was too evil. The thought that Azazel had had it all planned was just
too cruel. If that was true then the doctor was actually a murderer. It could
not be. Perhaps the best thing would be to pretend nothing had happened.
Perhaps if he could just convince himself that none of what he had seen was
real and then just move on with his life…

John felt anguished. He looked at the picture frame and his smiling Mary
looking back at him. It tugged at all the strings in his heart and made John
open the book once again, back at the same page.

He stared at the photo and ran his fingertip over the text. He made up his mind
and got up.

“Dean?” John walked into his sleeping son’s room and called. “Dean?”

The boy rolled in his bed and mumbled something.

“I need to go outside for a moment. You can be by yourself, right?”

“Yeah. But why? Where?”

“I need to see someone.”

“Everything alright, dad?”

“Yes.” John was thankful for the darkness of the room so his son couldn’t see
his distressed face. “Go back to sleep. I’ll be back soon. I’ll lock the door.”

“Okay.”

John turned around and left his home, and he didn’t look back as he walked the
empty streets of Glasstown at night. He didn’t stop until he was knocking on
the door ahead of him, demanding to be let in at three in the morning. He had
to knock loudly, but after five minutes or so someone answered him.

“Jesus fucking Christ, John!” Bobby swore as he wrapped himself tighter around
his coat. Priest or not, it was a freezing night and he wasn’t happy about
being up in the middle of the night.

“Bobby, we need to talk.”

“What the hell is so important that can't wait till the morning?”

“It’s Azazel.”

“What about him?” Bobby looked puzzled.

“He’s a vampire.”

     It's still un-betaed, sorry. And with this one I bring some King

Chapter 28



Sam couldn’t stop thinking about Dean. It didn’t matter how much he tried to
get his mind off the older guy, his thoughts kept coming back to Dean and his
beach shack, Dean and the ocean, Dean and his smooth, ripped chest and the arms
that held him tight and protectively.

Now that he knew what Dean looked like when he came, it was even harder trying
not to think about it all the time. Sam couldn’t sleep or eat, or even study as
he used to. His hormones were raging, demanding, begging, shattering him
inside, and it was no surprise that his sex dreams grew vivid with details and
urgency.



He had to finish his assignment, but it was nearly impossible to focus. Sam was
sitting on Dean’s lap as his homework lay on the desk, right in front of him.
He looked at the paper and fidgeted with the pencil in his hand, but he
couldn’t ignore Dean’s arm around his torso, neither could he pretend the hand
sliding beneath his shirt to go and tease his nipples wasn’t killing him.

“Dean, I can’t. I gotta finish my homework. I have to study. If anyone finds
out…” he babbled but his voice faded when Dean’s fingers flicked over his
nipples.

Sam bit back a moan and pressed down hard onto Dean’s lap. He shuddered at the
hard-on he felt against the crease of his ass.

“What’s keeping you?” Dean murmured hotly into his ear. “Go and do your
homework, by all means, I ain’t here to disturb you.” He chuckled warmly, and
the sound was wet against Sam’s ear, and the goosebumps broke all over his
skin.

“Dean…” Sam protested half-heartedly when Dean unbuttoned his jeans and
unzipped them. In a few moments, Sam felt Dean slide his underwear a little and
free Sam’s erection. “Please…”

“Just do your homework. I’ll be real quiet…” Dean chuckled again, the sound was
like liquid fire pouring in Sam’s veins.

He looked at the homework and tightened his hand around the pencil, but when
Dean’s fist started to work, stroking the length of him up and down, Sam moaned
and tossed his head back.

“What is it? You seem distracted,” Dean teased. “Go do your homework, c’mon,”
he bit back a laugh and squeezed the cock in his hand.

Sam squirmed in Dean’s lap. “I…I can’t…it feels too good, I can’t think…” He
could feel each one of Dean’s fingers wrapped around his cock, and his skin was
burning hot, and Dean’s hand was slick with his arousal, and Sam knew he
wouldn’t last because nothing had ever felt that good.

“Dean…please…” Sam’s hips began to move as the hand picked up speed.

“Please what? Are you gonna come all over your homework? It might get pretty
dirty, you know…” Dean’s voice had dropped to something impossibly hot, and Sam
was losing control.

“Oh, God…oh….”

Sam felt his balls tighten and his cock throb. He could almost taste his climax
when suddenly he was pulled out of his dream.

“Wake up, Prince. Wake up. You’re not supposed to have these kinds of dreams.”

Crowley’s voice seemed like something surreal, out of a nightmare, perhaps, but
it wouldn’t be long until Sam realized that said voice, and not him thrusting
into Dean’s hand as his orgasm neared, was the reality.

Sam was breathing heavily and his hair was stuck to his neck and cheeks because
of the thin layer of sweat covering him.

The arousal was still pounding in his ears and Sam couldn’t shake it off. He
was so close, so fucking close…if he reached down his hand and just—

“Prince, what the hell are you doing? No!” Crowley slapped Sam’s hand away when
the boy tried to stroke himself.

“Crowley?” Sam sounded confused at first, and most of all hurt for having been
pulled out so abruptly from the amazing dream he was having.

“That’s right. You need to calm down. You were having a wet dream and I’m
pretty sure you were about to...”

Sam wasn’t listening anymore. His cock was pulsing and his thoughts were
blurred. His eyes were closed and he could still smell Dean’s aftershave and
feel his fingers on his skin. Sam was desperately aroused, and he reached down
again, faster this time, knowing that a couple of strokes would be enough to
end that agony and…

“Prince! What the hell?” Crowley held Sam’s right wrist and frowned. “Have you
not heard me? Wake up, already. The dream is over.”

“Screw you!” Sam barked, and there were tears in his voice. He was so turned on
that it physically hurt. His balls were tight and heavy, and he could feel the
wetness in the spot where his briefs touched the tip of his cock. “Leave me the
fuck alone!” Sam cried and tried to get away from Crowley’s grip on him.

The older man looked worriedly at the boy and thought fast about the situation.
That had never happened before. Perhaps he had interrupted the prince a few
seconds before his orgasm, maybe it was that. The fact was that Sam was
fighting him and it didn’t look as if he would calm down and obey.

“Prince? Prince, you need to listen to me. The dream is over. Open your eyes,
go take a shower if you must. You need to go back to sleep. You know you can’t
do that,” Crowley explained.

“You don’t fucking own me!” Sam narrowed his eyes and sat up in bed. He was in
so much agony he couldn’t think straight. All he needed was to come, just this
once, just now. His body was begging him, melting down as his nerves were all
wired up with heat. “Go away!”

Crowley let go of him momentarily and Sam turned around in bed so he was lying
on his stomach. He shut his eyes and rubbed against the mattress. He didn’t
give a shit if Crowley was still there watching him; it was not about pleasure
anymore, it was about pain and need, and Sam thought he would cry if he
couldn’t find release.

“Prince, stop it!” Crowley grabbed Sam by the shoulders and turned him around
in bed. As the boy struggled fiercely against him, Crowley knew he couldn’t
handle it alone anymore. “That’s it. I’m getting your father.”

Sam stopped moving, his body tense and hurting, his heart racing when Crowley
got up quickly, yelled at a woman to go get the master and rushed back to the
bed. The word ‘father’ had a powerful effect on him. Sam stopped trying to
finish himself off. Instead, he lay in bed shaking with the need to find an
orgasm, the pain and the pleasure making him tingle and ache, and making his
rational brain shut down almost completely.

Sam didn’t know how long it was. Every second felt like an eternity. The dream
was still powerfully vivid in his mind, and Sam’s cock throbbed at the feelings
it evoked. He could feel the engorged head of his dick pulsing, begging for a
little touch, just a little bit and then it would be bliss, sweet relief just a
few strokes away…

“I’m here. What happened?” Azazel walked into the room and looked at the scene.
In the bed, the boy was shuddering and shivering, Azazel could see the tremors
even from a distance. He looked into Crowley’s eyes and waited.

“I stopped him from having a wet dream. He’s having…trouble letting it go. I
didn’t know what to do in order to stop him.”

Azazel looked at the boy again, and when he took a deep breath and
concentrated, he could smell the air charged with pheromones.

“You did well. Go now, Crowley. I’ll handle this.”

Crowley nodded. He was more than happy to oblige. He hated this part of his
job. He didn’t like what he had to do to the prince, but far from him to
disrespect the loyalty he owed Azazel. He left quickly and hoped for the best.

“Prince?” Azazel pulled the sleeping robe around himself and tied it more
firmly before sitting by the headboard of Sam’s bed.

Sam gasped and panted. His eyelids fluttered shut and he licked at his dry
lips.

“Dad, please…” Sam didn’t even know what he was begging for. Whether it was for
simple release, right now, from all the need that had built up inside, or
whether it was the much needed release from all of this, all these crazy
restrictions in his life.

“Tell me, baby. What’s going on?” Azazel spoke gently, his fingers running
through Sam’s sweaty hair.

“I need to finish…please…” Sam’s dick was painfully hard, his balls aching and
throbbing and it wasn’t good, it was just desperate. “Just this once, just
now…”

Azazel sighed. “Samuel…no one said that being a prince was easy. You know there
are sacrifices. Right now you’re going through one of the many you will yet
face. You know you can handle this. You’re strong enough to.”

“I’m not,” Sam cried. This time he could feel the tears coming. It was
exasperating, because his throat was so dry he couldn’t even swallow, and yet,
warm water poured freely down his eyes. “I can’t do this anymore. It hurts…”

“Shhh….”

Sam couldn’t control himself. His hand moved beneath the sheets to try and grab
his cock and jerk it, because he couldn’t stand it anymore, but of course the
hand was intercepted before it even got below his navel. “Dad, please….” Sam
felt the salty tears between his lips. “It hurts. It physically hurts,” he
blurted.

“I know it does, honey. I don’t think for one moment this is easy. That’s why
you’re my strong boy. You’re gonna make me very proud because you’re stronger
than this,” Azazel encouraged him.

“Can’t I have this one time? Please….please, Dad, just tonight, just let me…”
Sam begged shamelessly. The agony eating him up had made sure his shame was
long gone.

“Samuel…” Azazel’s voice was stern.

“Please…” Sam insisted. He looked into his dad’s yellow eyes. “I won’t do it
again. I promise. It’s just tonight, just now. Just this once…” he pleaded.
“Just so it won’t hurt.”

“Samuel, you know I can’t let you do that.”

“Daddy, please…” a sob escaped his throat and Sam bit down on his lip to muffle
the pitiful sound of his crying.

“It pains me to see you suffering, dear, but if I open an exception now, you
know what will happen. This will eventually lead to more exceptions, and I need
you to be a strong boy; you need to learn to be bigger than your needs. Trust
me, Samuel, I’m helping you when I do this, even though you can’t see it now.”
Azazel lied through his teeth because he understood how important it was to
keep Sam in line. Give the boy enough testosterone soaring through his system
and pretty son the little Winchester would grow to be the warrior that lived in
his blood.

“It hurts so much. I wish it’d just go away…” Sam grimaced and shut his eyes.

“You know, I could help you relieve some of this tension. Get the blood flowing
better.”

Sam looked into his dad’s eyes and watched when Azazel took his arm and
caressed his wrist softly. He then watched as his hand was brought closer to
his dad’s mouth and the fangs were exposed. Sam sighed softly when Azazel
started drinking.

The prince’s blood was filled with hormones, and not to Azazel’s liking, but
still, even though Samuel’s blood was brimming with libido, it still tasted
better than anything Azazel had ever had. He drank at leisure and for a long
time. Eventually, Sam’s hectic heartbeats started to slow down, and the heavy
and clipped breathing rolled back into a quieter pattern.

“Are you feeling better?” Azazel asked. He had already drunk a substantial
amount of blood, but he knew he could drink even more before it was no longer
safe.

“Sleppy,” Sam admitted. His erection was slowly waning, but the feeling of
heaviness and the pain in his balls became somewhat worse.

“That’s good, sweetie. Daddy will drink more and before you know it you’ll be
back asleep.”

The more Azazel drank, the less aroused Sam felt. The blood drinking usually
had him aroused at first, because Azazel ended up touching him in ways Sam
wasn’t touched by anyone, and his body didn’t quite know how to react to it.
But as the drinking progressed, Sam’s alertness faded and it was difficult to
hang on to his thoughts. The blood loss made him sleepy and right now, thank
goodness, it freed him from the painful grip of sexual urgency.

“Dad…” Sam spoke softly, the words a bit slurred.

“Yes, love?”

“Why me?” Sam was only vaguely aware of what was going through his head.

“What do you mean?”

“Why can’t I be normal like everyone else?”

“Because…” Azazel smiled and caressed Sam’s face again. He let his palm rest on
the boy’s forehead for a moment. “you have the blood of kings running in your
veins.”

Sam blinked a couple of times. “I do?”

“Of course you do. You are a prince, aren’t you?”

“I thought this was just—” Sam was cut off by a deep yawn that broke past his
lips. “Just…” he shrugged. He wasn’t sure what he thought anymore. “You know…”

Azazel let go of Sam’s wrist for a moment. The taste of blood tingled on his
tongue.

“There’s ancient magic flowing through your veins, Samuel. You are a real
prince.”

“Magic? How so?”

Azazel sank his teeth and drank more. He could feel Sam’s heartbeats become
even slower.

“Remember the stories I used to read by your bed at night? About King Arthur
and the Knights of the Round Table?”

Sam nodded faintly. “The sword, Excalibur…”

“Right. The blood of king Arthur runs through you, Samuel.”

Sam was quiet for a long moment. He closed his eyes and Azazel thought he had
fallen asleep. He drank quietly for a few more minutes.

“Those are just stories…” Sam opened his eyes again and frowned. “They aren’t
real.”

“Go back to sleep, Prince. We can talk about this some other time.”

Sam parted his lips as if he would say something else, but his tongue was thick
in his mouth and he could no longer tell his dreams from reality. It was too
easy to just close his eyes and let go, and within seconds the boy was finally
asleep again, peacefully this time.

“They are not just stories,” Azazel smiled knowingly as he got to his feet and
licked his lips. He felt his body warm and vigorous after the feeding. “I would
know. After all, I was there.”

As a vampire, Azazel had been around for a long, long time. So long that the
years had ceased to matter, and for way too long he had roamed this earth as
the vile creature he was, drinking blood, killing people, being hunted and
having to run. Azazel knew very little about his maker. He had been turned into
a vampire by some reckless yellow eyed man, in the middle of a freezing cold
night in Eastern Europe, around the year one thousand. For years he was lost
and confused, living in the shadows, killing animals and living off their blood
to survive. For a vampire, it was possible to live off animal blood, but there
was only so long one could do that before they started to lose their minds.
Azazel had run into other vampires over the years, and he had seen what years
of animal blood had done to them. Most ended up taking their own lives. The
urge was eventually too great, and when humans started to get killed, the
suspicions always rose. It was impossible to live in the same place for too
long.

Even among people, the blood varied a lot. Most of the time Azazel was forced
to drink from hookers or sailors, or homeless people who would hardly be
missed.  Whenever Azazel had a chance to drink from the nobility, however, he
could taste the strength in their blood, he could see how much more powerful he
felt. Good blood was the answer to staying sane and powerful throughout the
years, and there was no better blood than magical blood, and Azazel was there
when the magic started to fade in the world. Drinking from witches and wizards
was one of the hardest things Azazel had ever done, but even though it had
almost got him killed, it had been completely worth it. Wisdom, magic and power
transferred to him and Azazel grew stronger, his immortality renewed. That was
why he always took a keen interest on magic people from Avalon, and the
powerful kings that rose and fell.

Nowadays, what is seen as myth, was once Azazel’s life. He was there when it
all happened, and he knew the story that hadn’t made into the books full of
tales.

Morgana La Fay was a powerful witch from Avalon who had been tricked into
sleeping with her own brother, Arthur, inside a pagan ritual that resulted in a
child born from incest. Mordred, their son, whose blood combined the royalty of
Arthur and the magic of Morgana. Then there were the knights, and among them,
Arthur’s best friend, Lancelot. What most people didn’t know, because they
weren’t there, obviously, and because they didn’t really believe these people
had existed for real, was that Lancelot’s love for Arthur’s wife, Guinevere,
was the closest Lancelot and Arthur could have to expressing their love for
each other. Azazel was there, he saw things with his own eyes, and he heard
things no one else could fathom. Guinevere, Arthur’s wife, was the connection
between Lancelot and Arthur, the love they shared because they could not
understand that their friendship was in fact soul-binding love. A love that
could never be, even though Azazel was pretty sure that the excessive wine
drinking might have led to a night or two of ‘unnatural’ behavior between the
king and his trustworthy knight.

Lancelot, one of the finest warriors to ever walk this earth, had had a son of
his own, Galahad, in whose blood flowed the bravery and fearlessness of his
father.

What Sam had to do with all that?

Azazel kept track of everything. He had always dreamed of getting his hands on
the holy grail of powerful blood, and that would be the combination of all the
elements in the story. There was a prophecy about the child who would reunite
Arthur and Lancelot, so they could be together at last, the same blood in one
body, like they could never be when they were alive. It was written in old
magic books that Azazel later found in Avalon before it all fell apart under
the power of the church, and for hundreds of years he waited in silence,
running and surviving, waiting to see whether the prophecy would be fulfilled.
There were years of despair in which he thought he had lost track of the blood
heirs, but Azazel was relentless, and in the end it had been worth it.

The blood lineage carrying both Arthur and Morgana’s blood that began with
Mordred lived through the years, even though the Campbells had no idea they
carried this legacy.

Lancelot’s blood had gone on through time and generations and was still pulsing
strong in the veins of the Winchesters.

When Mary and John fell in love, they fulfilled the prophecy. They combined the
blood of the incestuous child of Morgana and Arthur with Lancelot’s own blood
heritage, unknowingly bringing together the soul mates, Arthur and Lancelot, so
they became one. In the same blood there was the warrior, the witch and the
king, which made the Winchester boys, Dean and Samuel, the highest prize a
vampire could hope for.

When Azazel was able to track down the blood lineage again, he was faced with a
four year old boy, Dean, and a pregnant Mary Winchester. His first thought was
to rob the boy and flee for good into the shadows of the world, but by now
Azazel had already heard of Lucifer, and the idea of no more running, of
settling down and getting his hands on a baby, being able to raise him from the
start into the perfect, consenting victim, and all that with the approval of
one of the parents started to take shape quickly in his mind, and Azazel
decided that patience would prevail over desperate want. What were a few months
for someone who had waited centuries for the prophecy to come true?

If Azazel got his hands on any of the Winchester kids, if he could make sure
that this kid remained pure, then he would have the strongest source of power,
not to mention the sweetest blood any vampire could ever hope to taste,
something that would keep him sharp in body and mind, something that would
strengthen his supernatural powers the further he drank.

So long as the kid wasn’t allowed to indulge into libidinous acts, so long as
testosterone, the bitter hormone that tainted the perfect blood could be kept
to minimum levels, it would be easy to control the warrior streak and relish
the royalty and the magic pumping hotly with every heartbeat.

After being presented with the dark gift and left to wander the earth alone
like an animal for most of his existence, Azazel now had everything he wanted.
With Samuel’s blood and Lucifer’s money, Azazel didn’t have to worry about
living off animal blood and blood bags. As long as he had the boy, Azazel could
relax and enjoy the pleasures of not having to run anymore. He knew Sam’s youth
would not last forever, but he would relish the precious boy under his care for
as long as he could. He would drink from Sam’s light until the moment came
again for him to go back into the dark. And when that happened, he might still
get lucky and end up with a child fathered by one of the brothers. God knew
Dean Winchester slept around, so sooner or later he was bound to make a
mistake.

Azazel cast a look at Samuel’s sleeping face. In his own twisted way, he loved
the boy. After waiting so long for him, there was nothing Azazel wouldn’t do to
protect him. After all, Samuel was the only carrier of the pure blood. His
brother, Dean Winchester, spent his days corrupting his blood in vile ways. The
feeling was selfish and wicked, but it was the closest to caring Azazel could
possibly feel after the emptiness of so many years.

“Sweet dreams, my sweet prince.”

He kissed the boy’s forehead tenderly before walking out of the room and
sending Crowley back inside.

Chapter 29


When Sam woke up the following morning he had a throbbing headache, which
happened invariably when his dad ended up drinking too much of his blood. When
Sam thought about the previous night he remembered his dream and some fragments
of his talk with his father.

“Morning, Prince.” Crowley pulled down the covers and checked on him.

“Morning,” Sam mumbled. He felt ashamed about the past night, and glad it was
over. He remembered how desperate he had felt, and how hurting, too. He didn’t
remember much else from the moment his dad started feeding on him, though.

“You have a day off today, so what would you like to do?”

Sam took a deep breath and thought about it. He needed physical exercise. His
hormones were still soaring, and he knew he needed to let all that energy out
somehow. Besides, he would have class in a couple of days. Unless he managed to
blow off some steam he would be in trouble being next to Dean.

“Get someone to play racquetball with me.”

“All right. I’ll do that.”

Sam got up and went about his day. By midday Sam was tired and sweaty, but
after a quick pause for something to eat in the kitchen he went to the pool,
where he swam for another two hours. Before the night had fallen Sam was
exhausted and sleepy, all of his muscles sore but relaxed. He would definitely
need more of the same tomorrow if he wanted to keep sane; but most importantly,
he would definitely have to do more of the same in the next days if he wanted
to maintain control when he was next with Dean.


~ * ~


When Sam walked into Bobby’s classroom in the church, part of him almost hoped
Dean wouldn’t show up. Being so close to Dean and feeling his irresistible
appeal was taking its toll on Sam, and he didn’t think he could…

“Hey.” Dean’s radiant smile lit up the room and Sam went weak in the knees. His
heart fluttered with joy and all his worries melted in a pool of bliss.

“Hey.” he didn’t need a mirror to know his eyes were gleaming. His heart
rattled in his chest when he caught Dean looking at him with the same glint in
his eyes.

“Be careful and all that shit you know I’m gonna say.”

The two boys looked at Bobby briefly before disappearing past the door and into
the dark corridor below the church.

“God, I missed you.” Dean pushed Sam against the wall and they kissed.

Sam let his hand travel to the back of Dean’s head and pulled his face closer,
wanting to fall into the kiss. The gesture made Dean’s heart race with
encouragement. He kissed the boy harder and pressed into him, and in a few
minutes Sam was panting, reeling. ‘What am I doing?’ he thought. ‘I can’t…can’t
play with fire, not in the state I am…’ he shut his eyes and summoned all the
strength he could to gently, yet firmly, push Dean away.

“You okay?” Dean asked, breathless, as his lips tingled.

“Yeah…just,” Sam swallowed down his dry throat and simply smiled in the poorly
lit place. He started towards the door and Dean followed him until they were
outside. “What are the plans for today?”

Dean looked around. What could he possibly want to do besides touching Sam any
way he could and talking to him and listening to him? “Maybe we could…” he
began but Sam spoke again before he could go on.

“I have an idea. We could go jogging along the beach. I’ve seen people do that
sometimes.”

Dean smiled and studied Sam with interest. “Is that why you are wearing running
pants today?”

“And shoes,” Sam agreed, and Dean chuckled.

“And shoes.” He nodded.

“I could use the exercise.”

“Fine. Me too. We just need to stop by the shack quickly then. I’m gonna change
into something more comfortable.” Dean pointed at his jeans.

“Right.” Sam smiled. Jogging seemed like a fine idea. Jogging seemed harmless
and healthy, and a fantastic way to spend quality, safe time in Dean’s company.

They did as Dean suggested and went to the beach house where the older man
changed from jeans to sweatpants, and also chose a more proper pair of shoes.
Sam watched everything from the mirror in front of the bed. He loved how Dean
was anything but shy when it came to undressing in front of him, and Sam
pretended not to mind the sight of him in nothing but boxers for a few seconds.

“Let’s go?” Dean approached Sam from behind and the boy shuddered when Dean’s
chin brushed softly against the curve of his neck. Their eyes met in the mirror
and Sam nodded.

“Yeah. Let’s.”


~ * ~


They jogged for about an hour. The temperature was perfect and the beach
provided an amazing view. That was so much better than the treadmills he had
behind the walls. Sam loved the blue sky on top of them, the sound of the waves
breaking on the shore, the feeling of the ocean breeze on his skin and hair…and
having all that in Dean’s company was just perfect.

When they arrived back at the shack Dean was covered in sweat. He felt great
after the workout, even though it wasn’t exactly what he had in mind when he
saw Sam.

“Mind if I take a quick shower?” Sam asked.

“Not at all. I need to do the same,” Dean said, and then after a pause. “You
could join me.”

Sam sucked in his breath and his eyes might have widened betrayingly.

“Relax… You can go. I’ll go after you.” Dean hadn’t thought Sam would have
agreed to it, but it was worth the shot nonetheless.

“Thank you,” Sam said in a somewhat shy voice before he disappeared in the
bathroom.

He came out a few minutes later, and it was Dean’s turn to wash off the sweat.
When Dean left the bathroom, he saw Sam looking around.

“Hey,” he said.

“Hey.” Sam seemed edgy. Dean couldn’t quite put his finger to it, but there was
something different to Sam today. Not that the boy wasn’t always a mystery, but
today Sam seemed a bit fidgety and overly shy.

Dean studied him, head to toe, and a small devilish smile curved his lips. It
was good that they weren’t wearing jeans for a change. He sat down on the edge
of the bed and stared at Sam with a hint of playfulness and mischief in his
eyes.

“What is it?” Sam asked as he studied the look.

“C’mere for a bit. I want to hold you before you go.”

The request was so blunt and honest that it made Sam a bit shaky. He looked at
Dean’s shirtless body and realized he too was half naked. He had taken off his
shirt to go jogging, and still hadn’t put it on. It meant nothing before, but
now, as he walked towards Dean and the bed, Sam could almost feel the heat
between their naked skin, it was like this crazy force draw them closer.

“Yeah, c’mere. I won’t bite you,” Dean teased, holding out his hands.

Sam took the hands and let Dean guide him closer, until Sam was straddling him
on the bed, Sam’s knees resting on both sides of Dean’s waist.

Dean ran his hands flat up and down Sam’s naked back, and relished the soft
little sigh of pleasure that escaped the youngert’s lips. Sam closed his eyes
and began to relax when Dean’s fingers kneaded the tired muscles on his back
and shoulders. He tossed his head back lightly and felt himself relax under the
knowing touch.

“You really know what you’re doing,” Sam pointed out.

“Is that so?” Dean chuckled as he went on with the massage.

“Yeah. I’ve had professionals do this to me after training. I can tell you know
how much pressure to apply.”

“I took a course last summer.”

“You did?”

“Yeah.”

They looked into each other’s eyes. Dean then pulled Sam closer against his
chest and wrapped him in an embrace, their naked chests pressed together as Sam
buried his nose into Dean’s neck, breathing in shamelessly to feel his scent.

“I hope these massage sessions didn’t involve any of this, though.”

Sam laughed. “They didn’t.”

“Or this…” Dean smiled mischievously before letting his fingers go for Sam’s
ribcage.

“No!” Sam gasped, surprised. “Don’t!” He let out an embarrassingly high pitched
sound when Dean began tickling him.

“What? Isn’t that relaxing as well?” Dean bit down on his bottom lip and
tickled Sam further, until the boy on his lap was squirming and panting. The
sound of Sam’s uncontrollable laughter filled the room, and Dean drank in the
alluring sight as Sam tried helplessly to fight him.

“STOP!” Sam bucked on Dean’s lap. It was hard to breathe, the feeling was so
good it hurt, and the more Sam writhed, the more he pressed down into Dean,
unknowingly causing a different sensation to stir in him.

“My, my…you’re so ticklish…” Dean stopped and pulled Sam to himself again.

Sam started to take deep breaths when the delicious torture was over. His heart
was racing, and it didn’t stop racing when Dean started to place soft kisses
all over his face. The lips were first on Sam’s temple, then on his eyelids,
nose, cheeks… Sam shivered at the softness. Nothing was ever this tender in his
life. The kisses moved in a small wet trail down his neck, and when Dean found
the pot of honey in the curve of Sam’s sensitive neck, he licked and blew hotly
against the skin.

Sam’s breath heaved and he squirmed again. His eyes fell shut and his
temperature rose.

Dean’s butterfly kisses didn’t stop. He tilted Sam’s head back lightly and
kissed his exposed neck, going up until his lips captured the boy’s earlobe
between his teeth and his tongue lapped at it.

Sam could feel arousal pooling in his lower belly. When Dean’s fingers moved
against his skin and flickered over his already hard nipples, Sam moaned softly
and his cock hardened.

“Dean…” he whispered.

“It’s okay, baby…” Dean murmured. He captured Sam’s mouth in a kiss and slid
his tongue past the boy’s lips. At the same time Dean licked inside his mouth,
he pulled Sam further down his lap and thrust up against him.

The boy broke the kiss and panted.

“Oh…” Sam’s lips hung open and his face looked adorably lost and pleading, as
if he couldn’t quite understand what he felt.

“So much for sweatpants, mm?” Dean licked at his lips seductively. “Makes you
feel it so much more, doesn’t it?” Dean ground Sam’s hips against his until
their clothed erections aligned and slid one over the other.

“Mm…!” Sam bent forward, his forehead resting against Dean’s. That was so good.
He could actually feel the hardness of Dean’s cock rubbing against his own
aching cock, and the feeling was escalating quickly.

Dean wanted Sam to let go. He wanted the boy to relax and enjoy himself, he
needed to do that. But he also liked to have Sam sitting on top of him, because
he knew it gave him more control in case he felt uncomfortable. And indeed, the
fact that Sam was on top gave him a false sense of control. He knew he should
stop, he knew he was dangerously aroused, but the feeling of nothing but soft
fabric separating their matching hard-ons was addictive. Sam pressed down and
rubbed against Dean almost unconsciously.

Dean used one hand to guide Sam’s hips into the friction they created, and his
mouth closed around a hard nipple while he tongued it cleverly over and over.

“Nnngh…” Sam moaned inchorently. He was getting so close. He would have to stop
this at any minute now, because he wasn’t much sure how much control he still
had left.

Dean’s right hand slid between their thighs and cupped Sam’s through the fabric
of his pants. Sam panted and looked desperately close to losing control. Yet,
he somehow managed to lock his fingers around Dean’s wrist and prevent them
from going underneath his clothes. Sam couldn’t handle the contact if Dean’s
fingers actually touched his dick.

“I…shouldn’t…” Sam whispered. He had to stop moving and get up, but he couldn’t
for the life of him. He kept telling himself just a few more seconds, just
another bucking into Dean’s hips, or another squeeze of his thighs, just to try
and burn it in his memory so maybe he could dream about it later without
interruptions.

Dean’s right arm snaked around Sam’s waistline and his hand pressed against his
lower back. He closed his mouth on the curve of Sam’s neck, licking and
nibbling at Sam’s weak spot, at the same time his hand slid past the waistband
of the pants and his palm cupped one of Sam’s buttcheeks.

“Dean!” Sam squirmed, startled. His heart raced frantically when he felt Dean
cupping his ass.

“Shh…relax, Sammy…it’s okay…” He had said ‘Dean’, not ‘no’, so Dean kept going.
He could see how aroused Sam was, he could smell the lust building up and the
control slipping away as Sam shuddered against his body.

“You know…” Dean whispered hotly into Sam’s ear, the stubble on his chin
grazing the sensitive skin there and causing goosebumps all over Sam’s inner
arms and thighs. “You were so ticklish before…” he whispered, his own breath
labored and heavy with lust. Dean let a finger move gently to the crease of
Sam’s ass. He did it slowly and tentatively, wondering if Sam would enjoy it.
“I couldn’t help but wonder where else you’re ticklish too…” he let his words
die against Sam’s skin at the same time his fingertip traced his opening, the
touch featherly and barely there.

“HM!” Sam moaned wantonly, the sound going straight to Dean’s cock and making
it ooze with need. The touch was so…so intimate, so…so delicate and so…damn…Sam
felt so vulnerable and so good, and he was drowning and he couldn’t come back,
even though he had to, he had to stop everything. “Dean…” Sam trembled. His
cock throbbed and leaked. He could feel Dean’s digit circling his opening, not
pushing or anything, just…caressing.

“What?” Dean’s voice was dripping with sex and Sam was helplessly addicted to
it. Dean could feel Sam tightening against his fingertip when he stroked him.
“Are you? Ticklish in here?”

Dean’s mouth then closed around Sam’s nipple and he licked at it at the same
time his finger worked between Sam’s buttchecks. With his free hand, Dean held
at Sam’s hipbone, encouraging the boy’s bucking movements.

Sam was caught between too much pleasure. His back arched and his thighs were
shaking so hard he couldn’t seem to make them stop. He needed to pull away, he
needed to…

“Oh…oh God…” Sam cried out. Dean thrust up against him and his finger was right
there and his tongue was doing things that…No. Oh, God. I can’t, I can’t stop
it…Sam realized when it was too late that he had lost the battle. His hips
moved despite any rational thought and he pushed back against the finger. The
sensation was so little but so much! He felt his balls draw closer to his body
and desperation hit him a moment before pleasure did. Sam bucked hard against
Dean and a string of moaning left his lips. His orgasm hit him like the tallest
wave breaking on the shore, his muscles spasmed and there was white hot light
in his head when Sam came, shooting hot and wet seed over and over until he was
nothing but a trembling mass shaking against Dean’s body.

Dean’s heart would explode. He was sure it would. Sam didn’t just orgasm, he
shattered on his lap. The whole thing was so intense that Dean completely
forgot about his own arousal. The boy collapsed against him, Sam’s body limp as
the boy rested his forehead in the crook of Dean’s neck and breathed heavily.

Sam had trouble swallowing, and his chest moved up and down as he fought to
regain control of his breathing. The blissful floating sensation only lasted
for a few seconds, though, because soon the reality of what had happened
started to close in on him.

He had lost control, and he had lost Dean.

‘Oh, God. What have I done?’ Sam thought with rising despair. His dad would
drink from him tonight and would taste his climax, and then it would all be
over. Azazel would add that to the dream Sam had had and know something was
going on, and then Crowley wouldn’t be able to hide anymore and Dean and he
would be exposed. They would never see each other again. His dad and Dean’s dad
might fight again, and knowing what his dad could do, Sam feared for what might
happen if it came to this.

He had lost Dean. Because he was unable to control his stupid hormones he would
never feel the embrace he felt now, ever again, and this crushed him so fast
and so hard that Sam couldn’t handle it.

Dean wrapped his arms around Sam’s shaking body, but it was only after a while
that he realized, to his horror, that Sam was sobbing.

“Sam?” Dean pulled Sam away from him by the wrists and looked at him. “What’s
wrong?”

The tears rolled down Sam’s cheeks and he couldn’t even fight the sobs that
tightened his throat and made it hard to breathe. “I ruined it,” Sam blurted.
“I ruined everything.”

“What are you talking about? You just relaxed and had some fun. That’s good!”
Dean said, encouragingly. He was totally unprepared for the amount of despair
he saw now in Sam’s face.

“No, it’s not!” Sam struggled himself free of Dean’s grip and got up. He paced
around and ran his fingers through his hair.

“What are you talking about?” Dean got up as well. “ It was just an orgasm.
Nothing changed..— ”

“Everything changed!” Sam barked. He seemed transformed. His eyes were wild and
he looked disheveled. Dean was stunned with what he was seeing in front of him.

“How so? Chill out, man. No one is gonna know what happened.”

“You don’t know that! You don’t know me!” Sam didn’t know where all that anger
was coming from. He was just so tried of having to deal with all that. He was a
teenager, for fuck’s sake. He didn’t have all the answers, he didn’t know how
to have the ridiculous amount of self control that was required of him, and
most of all, he didn’t want to lose the thing he wanted the most in his life
because he was reckless, because he had failed to stop, because it was all his
fault.

“I know you, and I—”

“You don’t know anything about me!” Sam snarled, the tears drying on his
cheeks.

Dean looked hurt. He had no idea where that outburst was coming from, but that
wasn’t a normal reaction. “Well, perhaps I would if you’d only open up and tell
me shit,” he retorted.

“Forget it!”

Dean’s heart fell. What the fucking hell was going on? How did things get to
that point so quickly?

“Sam…” Dean softened his voice and held Sam’s arm. “Wait, let’s talk. What
happened? Why are you like this?”

“Let me go!” Sam took a step back. This was the last time he would see Dean
again, and it hurt so much he just wanted to get out of there.

“No!” Dean held him more firmly. “Not until you tell me what’s going on. Why
are you reacting this way? What is the problem? Tell me!”

Sam wavered. He wanted so much to trust Dean and tell him everything, but he
knew he would put him in danger if he did. That was Sam’s burden to carry
alone. Things had gone way too far as they were.

“You wouldn’t understand…” Sam shook his head and rubbed at his eyes.

“Try me,” Dean insisted.

“No! Let me go, let me…” Sam felt sick. He was so nervous he began to feel
sick. The hot pot, the boiling water, the skin peeling away, the blisters…what
would his father do tonight? What part of his body would he burn? Sam needed to
get out because he was falling apart.

“No more secrets! I’m here for you.”

“You need to forget about me. I’m sorry it got this far. This is over, Dean.
I’m so sorry. I need to leave now.”

“Leave? What do you mean this is over? Talk to me!” Dean was growing angry too,
out of sheer frustration.

“No!”

“Then how the hell am I supposed to help you?”

“I don’t want your help!” Sam growled. His heart broke. He was so angry and
lost and afraid he didn’t know what do, except that he had to get out of there
fast.

Dean’s heart was also breaking, but so was his pride.

“Fine! Go away. Run away from me. You seem pretty good at doing that.”

Sam felt physical pain stabbing at his heart, but it was better like that. If
Dean was angry enough then he would let it go, forget about whatever happened
between them, and it would be for the best.

Dean watched, in shock, as Sam put on his shirt quickly and headed for the
door. It killed him inside because he could tell the boy was hiding something,
but what was he supposed to do? Tie him down and torture him into trusting him
and telling him what it was? Dean’s ego was already bruised and he didn’t know
what to do as Sam went for the door.

“Is that it?” Dean asked. “ Are you just leaving?”

Sam looked at him and said nothing.

“Alright. We’ll talk next time then.”

“Dean…” Sam felt his throat hurt with more tears. “There won’t be a next time.
This is over. Please don’t come looking for me.”

Dean had never felt so much pain in his heart before. What was that feeling?
Why was it hard to breathe? He didn’t understand what was going on, he didn’t
know how to make things better and that only fueled his anger.

“Then go! What are you waiting for? Go away!” He blew his top and regretted it
almost instantly. Sam cowered towards the door, his eyes huge and swimming with
nerve wrecking fear. Dean narrowed his eyes and his heart stopped for a moment
when he looked into Sam’s hazel eyes in the brief moment he let his guard down
– that boy in front of him was terrified.

“Sam…Sam, I didn’t mean to…” Dean began.

“Sorry.”

Sam whispered and turned around. Dean thought of following the boy running away
from his home, but he was so flabbergast with what had just happened that he
just stood there and watched, his thoughts racing almost as much as his heart.

***** Chapter 30 *****
Chapter Notes
     Guys, sorry it's taking so long to update... college's been hard.
     Your comments, though, they make me find time, so thank you so much!
 

Chapter 30



Sam’s mind was working so furiously with what had happened that he barely even
registered the way back to the church. When he found the hidden door and walked
back to the classroom through the dark corridor, his heart was still pounding
and his hands were sweaty. He was about to push the door and walk in when he
realized he couldn’t let Bobby see him like that.

He closed his eyes, rested his hand on the doorknob and took a deep, calming
breath. His body was still shaky from his orgasm, and everything tingled with
delight from the feeling, but his heart was breaking in his chest, and his
thoughts were already worried about the near future. What would happen to him
if his dad drank from him tonight?

Dean’s voice echoed in his mind offering help, but Sam just couldn’t open up,
it wasn’t that simple, his entire life was built on that secret.

He breathed in and out a few more times and walked into the classroom.

“Hey, Bobby.”

The priest raised his eyes from the documents he had been reading. “Hey.”

Sam did his best to sound natural and to seem fine, but perhaps there was some
kind of red flag all over him telling Bobby otherwise.

“Is something wrong?” Bobby asked. He narrowed his eyes and studied Sam’s
attitude. The boy seemed to be going through a lot of trouble to look
comfortable. There was a deceivingly calm look about him, but his eyes were
wild. Sam looked as if he was secretly running from some life threatening
situation.

“Yeah, why wouldn’t it be?” Even to his own ears his voice sounded high pitched
and broken. Sam grew more agitated.

“Where is Dean? What happened?” the kid before him was falling apart quickly.
The apparent calm dissolved into fidgety nervousness, and Sam looked around
like a caged animal.

“I have to go.”

“Sam, wait. Tell me what is going on…” Bobby tried, but as he walked towards
the boy, Sam went for the door.

“Not now. I…” for a moment it looked as if he would add something, but then Sam
just looked into Bobby’s eyes, a look filled with anguish, and left the
classroom quickly, his footsteps echoing in the aisle as he made his way to the
car.

Crowley was brought out of his own thoughts when the car door opened and
slammed shut. Through the rearview mirror, he could see the teenager in the
backseat.

“Let’s go.”

Sam’s hair was disheveled and he looked apprehensive.

“Is everything…”

“Go!” Sam cut him off before he could finish the question.

“Fine.” Crowley started the car. He wondered what had happened between the
prince and the mechanic’s son, but for his own sake he chose not to ask.

During the ride back home Sam kept thinking of what to do in case his dad drank
from him that night and tasted his orgasm. Whatever happened, he needed to make
sure Dean’s name was never brought up into this. It would kill him if his dad
found out about them and decided to take action against Dean or his family, so
Sam needed to make sure that whatever punishment was in store for his trespass,
it would befall on him alone.

His mind worked furiously with what to say in case he got caught. He thought
about all the possibilities, but it seemed unlikely that his father would
believe Sam had time alone to touch himself. If this was the case then Azazel’s
anger would be directed at Crowley, and Sam didn’t want Crowley to be held
accountable for this.

Who knew when Crowley might decide that enough was enough and stop covering up
for them? If Crowley felt under pressure, Sam was sure he would crack, and he
couldn’t have that happening, so he’d better make sure his dad didn’t get mad
at his keeper.

Sam’s nervousness got to his stomach and made it cramp with anguish. Sam closed
his eyes and took a deep breath. He began to feel sick as he thought of the
consequences of his losing control.

Last time his dad had caught him he had burned Sam’s hands in boiling water.
What would he do now? Sam trembled in the backseat. ‘He’s my dad, he won’t hurt
me, he loves me’,he told himself feverishly. ‘He’s already hurt me once. What’s
keeping him from doing it again?’ His mind replied to his own thoughts and Sam
was lost and anxious. Would his dad burn him again? Maybe he’d burn him in a
different part of his body, maybe his face or…

“Are you alright?” Crowley’s voice made Sam realize he had just let out an
audible little whimper.

“Are we there yet?” Sam looked out of the window. His stomach was in knots and
Sam thought he might get seriously sick at any moment. The memory of the pain
was too vivid. Sam looked at his hands and he could almost see the blisters
that had covered his skin and made every tiny movement with them excruciating.
As long as Dean was safe, though, Sam wouldn’t mind it. He just had to make
sure nothing happened to Dean because he had been foolish enough to get
involved with him. The mere thought that his father might try and harm Dean
made Sam’s heart race with fear.

Sam looked out of the window. They were in front of the gate now, waiting for
it to open.

“What’s taking it so long?” Sam groaned.

“We’re here already. Just gotta wait for the gate and…prince? Prince, what’s
going on?” Crowley watched as Sam opened the door and jumped out of the car.
Crowley left his position behind the wheel and went after the boy, and he found
Sam bent over his stomach, spilling its content on the grass, a few feet from
the car.

“What happened? Did you eat something spoiled?” he frowned.

Sam was shaking. He barely had anything in his stomach, so he tasted the bitter
of his own bile as he threw up on the grass. His stomach hurt almost as much as
his head. It was like he suddenly realized that whatever he and Dean had been
doing was not a game, and there might be terrible consequences to it. ‘My dad
is not a killer. He would never hurt Dean or his family like that’,a voice
argued in his mind, and it felt like there were two different, and extremely
strong, points of view running through his thoughts. ‘Would he not? He’s a
vampire. I guess that makes him a killer, doesn’t it?’

“I’m fine,” Sam said as Crowley helped him to his feet. “Actually,” he licked
at his lips and his hand went for his stomach. “I don’t feel so good.”

Crowley left the car right there and someone else made sure to drive it inside.
He helped Sam walk to the house where the boy went quickly to the bathroom.
Crowley didn’t follow him inside, but he heard the distinct sound of Sam being
sick again before flushing the toilet, and he opened the door when the tap
water was running and Sam washed his face and mouth.

When Sam stepped out of the bathroom he looked pale and sick. He didn’t know if
all that was just because he was a wreck inside. Perhaps he had indeed eaten
something that made him sick? Was it possible that his body was having such a
strong physical reaction to his mind and heart being in chaos?

“What can I do for you?” Crowley asked.

Sam took a deep breath and thought about it. He felt the crushing weight of
guilt and heartbreak weighing him down and he still had to think of what to say
tonight when his dad came to his room.

“Nothing.” Sam walked towards the big beige sofa in the living room where he
sat down. “Perhaps…some water, please.”

“I’ll get it.”

Sam didn’t turn around to watch as Crowley left. He stayed where he was, in the
middle of the living room, forcing his tired and frightened mind to work. He
looked at his hands on his lap and shivered. If only the whole thing with Dean
this afternoon had been nothing but a dream, a delicious and harmless dream…

‘I had a wet dream’, the thought crossed his mind and Sam’s eyes widened with
attention. ‘I had a wet dream and Crowley failed to see it, because it was very
discreet. Or I tried to hide it, because I really wanted to go to class today,
and I knew that if Crowley found out about my dream then I wouldn’t be able to
leave home.’Sam focused on that and thought really fast. That could work. It
wasn’t always easy telling whether or not Sam had had a wet dream, and Crowley
was just a human, he could have failed to see it, right? And his dad knew how
much Sam loved his classes, so there was a good chance Azazel would believe Sam
if he told him that he hadn’t said anything so he could study.

Sam took a deep breath and looked at Crowley when he returned. “Thank you.” He
took the water and drank it. Yes, there was a good chance his father would
believe that, and if he believed that it was a dream then perhaps he wouldn’t
even punish him that badly?

Or, of course, he wouldn’t buy any of that shit and would speculate about it.
If Azazel didn’t believe in the dream story, then he would know Sam had
consciously found release, and given the dream Sam had had a few nights ago
where he woke up hard and desperate, his dad might add two and two and realize
something was going on. Of course he would grow suspicious then, first an
intense wet dream, then Sam’s blood tastes of testosterone and his climax. What
if Azazel decided to investigate? What if he questioned Crowley and Crowley
couldn’t keep it a secret anymore?

Sam started to grow shaky and nervous all over again. He finished the water and
got up.

“I…I’ll go up to my bedroom,” he announced.

Crowley got up too and followed him at a certain distance. He watched as Sam
made his way towards the stairs, but then stopped by the kitchen before going
up.

Sam walked into the kitchen and put the glass on top of the counter. His eyes
then lay on something that made him freeze on the spot.

“How are you, Prince? Crowley mentioned you don’t feel very well.” That was the
voice of good old Mrs. Higgs, but Sam was barely listening to it.

He looked at the big pot on the stove, and the smoke that was coming out of it.
Boiling water, probably. Sam’s mouth grew dry and he his heart thudded in his
chest.

“What…what is that for, Mrs Higgs?” He asked, almost dumbly, and nodded towards
the pot.

“Oh,” she smiled sweetly. “I’m making you some soup. Crowley told me that your
stomach is upset, so I figured a nice little homemade soup will change that
right up.”

Sam’s tongue felt thick in his mouth and it took him a moment to find his
words. “Please, no soup.”

The old lady frowned.

“Please,” Sam repeated. “I just, I don’t feel like eating at all. Could you,
could turn that off, perhaps make something else?”

“Um…well, sure. Whatever you want, Prince.”

Sam knew he sounded weird, but he didn’t care. “How about a sandwich then.” Or
anything that did not involve fire in its preparation, Sam thought.

“Yes! Of course. What would you like?”

“Whatever you have in the fridge.” Sam wouldn’t eat anything tonight, there was
no way he could, even if he felt like it which he didn’t, but he supposed it
wouldn’t hurt to take this sandwich and leave it by his nightstand. Anything so
he didn’t have to run into the pot with boiling water again that night. ‘You
say that is if that’s the only way dad could punish me.’The whispered thought
made him shiver. Last time Azazel had used the pot because it was at hand; he
had improvised. Just because there would be no pot filled with boiling water it
didn’t mean his dad wouldn’t punish him if he wanted, and Sam knew that, but
right now he chose not to think of it.

“I’ll prepare it and send it right up then.”

“Thank you.” Sam left and went to his room. He took a quick shower and got
under the sheets.

His thoughts were still racing, and all the nervousness made Sam almost
paralyzed with fear and helplessness. He was so stressed that he didn’t really
know what to do anymore. Part of him couldn’t wait for his dad to get home and
find out, and be done with his punishment. Waiting for what could happen was
already some kind of torture.

“Has my dad arrived?” he asked Crowley as he sat in the corner of the bedroom
leafing through a newspaper.

“I’ll go check, but I don’t think so.”

Sam watched as Crowley left his room. It wasn’t the first time Sam had made him
check. He would be gone for less than a minute to find an answer, and meanwhile
Sam waited in silence.

“Not yet,” Crowley announced when he returned. The boy really seemed sick, so
Crowley thought he was eager to see his dad, who happened to be a doctor, and
get some help.

Sam took a deep breath and waited. He felt weak and tired. The roller coaster
of emotions had been taking its toll on him since he had agreed to go to Dean’s
home that afternoon. If only, Sam thought, he could evoke thoughts of Dean to
make his oxytocin levels spike so his dad wouldn’t taste anything else… It had
happened before, on his birthday, so why not now? Sam shook his head lightly,
he knew the answer. Unlike on his birthday, Sam was now too filled with dread
to give in to good thoughts of Dean. Besides, hormones were tricky, there was
no way he could willingly control what went on with his body. It didn’t help
that Sam thought he had just lost Dean, that he would never—should never, for
their own sake!—see him again. How could he possibly be happy when the future
looked so gloomy?

“He’s here now, Prince. I can hear talk downstairs.”

Sam swallowed hard. His chest tightened with worry and he hid his shaky hands
under the blanket. Whatever happened tonight, he would make sure Dean had
nothing to do with it.

Sam had to wait a while longer for his father. It seemed to take forever until
the moment Azazel made it to his room. It was around nine p.m when Sam saw him
at the door, dismissing Crowley.

“Hello, dear.”

Sam had already gone through many possible scenarios in his head, and the truth
was, he felt emotionally drained.

“Hey, Dad.”

“I was told you are not well tonight. What happened?” Azazel went closer and
sat beside Sam’s head.

The boy shrugged and just looked into the distance.

“Did you eat something out of your diet?”

Sam thought of Dean and the ice cream and the pie he had tasted. That had been
too long ago, and he pushed the fond memory away.

“No really.”

Azazel frowned and touched the back of his hand to Sam’s forehead. He waited a
moment before opening the black bag he had brought with him.

“You don’t seem to be running a fever, but let’s check anyway.”

Sam opened his mouth when his dad presented him with the thermometer.

“Do you have a sore throat?”

“Not really.” Sam shook his head.

“Does it hurt anywhere else?”

“My head, a little,” he spoke in spite of the thermometer.

After a few minutes, Azazel checked his temperature and sighed. “The good news
is that you don’t have a fever. You do look a bit sick though.”

Sam knew he wasn’t sick. Having a nervous break down, perhaps, but not sick. He
did feel weak and battered though, so he supposed his dad had reason to believe
something was wrong.

“Who knows…” Azazel looked at him and caressed his face softly. “I work in a
hospital. Even though I’m careful there’s no telling what kind of viruses or
other infectious agents I might end up bringing home.”

Sam stayed silent. His father’s hand stroking his hair and face was a hot
reminder of how quickly things could change tonight.

“Anyway, you should rest, my sweet prince. Stay home for the next three days,
no classes. I’m sure you’ll be feeling better in no time,” he smiled softly.

“Thank you, Dad.”

“That’s one of the advantages of having a doctor for a father…” Azazel took
Sam’s hand and toyed with his fingers. “I’ll always make sure you’re all
right.”

Sam saw it when his dad took his wrist to his lips and kissed the skin softly.
He could feel the warm wetness of his dad’s saliva on his skin and he shuddered
with anticipation. Azazel studied the way tiny blue veins were visible through
the milky skin of Sam’s wrist and licked his lips.

Sam shut his eyes. ‘It’s over. It’ll all over,’ he thought, desperately.

Azazel let the tip of his nose graze the skin and he kissed it once again, very
tenderly. Then, he slowly placed Sam’s wrist on top of the boy’s chest and got
up.

“Get better soon, my prince. Sweet dreams.”

Sam watched, somewhat in shock, as his father left his bedroom and Crowley
returned.

‘He didn’t drink’, Sam thought. He shut his eyes and felt the wave of relief
that washed him over. He could hardly believe his luck. Right now his father
was on his way to his own bedroom and Sam could relax. It shouldn’t surprise
him that his father didn’t drink from him, it was not something he did
everyday, although the frequency had increased over the last months. Yet, Sam
had been feeling so guilty and so afraid that he was positively certain he
would get caught.

Perhaps Azazel hadn’t drunk from him because he wanted to give Sam time to
recover; perhaps he wouldn’t have drunk anyway, but whatever the case was, Sam
was just too happy for words. If only he had known that he could have enjoyed
the moment with Dean without the fear of being caught…but of course there was
no way of knowing that. Maybe it was his own nerves that took the best of him
and made him look sick enough.

In whichever case, Sam could now close his eyes and go back to what he had
experienced in Dean’s beach shack. He could let his thoughts go back to being
on Dean’s lap and pressing down hard against Dean’s erection. Sam felt a
pleasurable tingle in his body at the memory. That had been the most erotic
moment of his life. The second one had been in the elevator with Dean, and Sam
couldn’t help but wonder how much more intense things could be if only he could
let himself go.

‘I can’t,’he thought quickly, and the sadness returned. What had happened today
was a powerful reminder of how dangerous it was to play with fire. He could not
tell Dean the truth about his father and the reason why he couldn’t enjoy his
sexuality. Sam was aware that his dad had built a reputation for himself in the
city, and if someone else that wasn’t from the household knew that he was a
vampire things could get ugly pretty fast.

There was no way things between Dean and he could go back to what they used to
be. Dean wanted answers, he wanted to know why Sam acted the way he did, and he
had gotten angry when Sam refused to tell him.

The memory of an angry Dean, yelling at him so he would go away, tugged at
Sam’s heart and made it sink. Now that the fear of being punished was
subsidizing, Sam could give in to the heartache of their encounter. He had
finally managed to push Dean away with the secrets he could not share with him.
There was no way he could go back to that house again and pretend nothing had
happened. Dean would still want to know what was going on, and Sam wouldn’t be
able to tell him for the sake of his family.

It would hurt worse than any punishment his dad might have dished out tonight,
but Sam knew his meetings with Dean were over. They reached that point that Sam
had been trying to avoid since the beginning—the moment Dean demanded answers
to questions Sam could not open up about.

Sam just wished it hadn’t been like that. He wished they could have parted in
good terms, perhaps with a goodbye kiss…but then again, the more he thought
about it, the more Sam understood that they had been doomed since the
beginning. There was no way this would have worked out. The faster Dean got
over him, the better. Ending this before anyone got hurt was the least Sam
could do.

Sam looked at Crowley, distracted with his reading, before burying his head in
his pillow and crying a few muffled tears into it. It would be for the best to
push Dean away from his life; Sam had known it was coming and that it was
inevitable. He just hadn’t expected the way he felt now.

Without Dean, Sam almost didn’t care about having a life at all.

***** Chapter 31 *****
 
 
Chapter 31



During the days that followed his argument with Sam, Dean didn’t know exactly
what to do or how to feel. He kept playing the moment over and over in his
head, trying to understand where it had all gone wrong, and why it had happened
at all. It didn’t matter how much he thought about it, though, Dean was still
puzzled at Sam’s reaction after having had an orgasm.

It was not possible that the boy wasn’t used to that kind of feeling. He was
sixteen years old, even if he came from a family of religious freaks, he must
have pleasured himself a few times, right? And why on earth did he lose his
shit after climaxing as if someone, anyone, could ever tell it had happened at
all?

Dean wished he hadn’t lost his cool. Sam had looked frightened, so for sure
there was something important he was not telling him, something that caused him
fear. Dean’s imagination ran wild with possibilities. He wondered if Azazel was
some kind of crazy devoted man who whipped his own back as penitence for what
he considered sins. What if he did the same to Sam? But then there would be
marks, no?

‘This is just crazy,’ Dean always ended up trying to shrug off his thoughts.
There was no way he could know what was going on unless Sam talked to him, and
the fact that he wouldn’t was the very reason why Dean was losing his mind He
cared too much about the boy to watch him as anguished as Sam had been that
day. Dean wanted to help him, to hold him, to understand…

Right now, though, there was not much Dean could do except wait for the next
time they would meet again. Even though Sam had said it was over and they
wouldn’t, Dean couldn’t really believe that. Sam must have said that in the
heat of the moment, and for sure he would be there waiting for him in Bobby’s
church for his next class.

With this thought strongly nestled in his mind, Dean headed for the church the
next Monday, and when he knocked at the door his heart made a crazy little loop
with expectation.

“Come in,” Bobby Singer said. “It’s unlocked.”

Dean did as told and walked into Bobby’s classroom. His heart sank after he
scoped the room quickly. When he looked at Bobby, it was like the older man
could read him like a book.

“He didn’t come.”

“Maybe he’s just late.”

“Maybe,” Bobby agreed. “But I don’t think so.” he studied John’s son for a long
moment.

“Isn’t he late sometimes?” Dean tried to sound casual, but the truth was that
Sam’s words saying that things were over between them weighed down on his
heart.

“Dean,” Bobby went on as if he hadn’y heard the question. “What happened the
last time you went out together?”

The fast thudding in his chest made Dean’s blood feel like a thousand icy cold
needles running through his veins. “Why do you ask that?”

Bobby narrowed his eyes at Dean’s apparent casualness. There seemed to be
something off about him, some sort of worry, but Bobby couldn’t quite put his
finger to it.

“Nothing. It’s just that Sam looked weird when he came back from the last
afternoon he spent in your company.” Bobby chose to come clean about his
thoughts.

“Weird how?” There was again the fast thudding of his heart.

“Agitated. Nervous. Distracted. I don’t know. I asked him about it but he
wouldn’t tell me anything.”

“Nothing happened,” Dean said.

“Don’t bull shit a bull shitter. Something happened. It’s written all over your
face.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about Bobby.” Dean managed one of his large,
carefree smiles. “I’m sure Sam just had some setback at home. He’ll be here on
Wednesday.” Dean said exactly what he himself was trying to believe right now,
so he probably sounded convincing enough.

“Maybe. In any case, I don’t think he’s coming today.”

“Okay then. I’ll get going. Bye Bobby.”

Dean left before the priest had a chance to say anything else.


~ * ~


Sam was lying in bed reading a book when his dad showed up by the door. Crowley
was sitting in the corner, as usual.

“I’m leaving, sweetheart. See you at night.”

“Bye, Dad.”

Azazel hesitated a moment and looked at the boy again.

“Crowley told me you don’t want to go to class again today. You told me you
were indisposed the last time. I trust there is nothing wrong between you and
the priest?”

“Everything is alright, Dad,” Sam reassured him quickly. He didn’t want to go
to class, but the last thing he needed was his dad wondering why. “I just want
to finish this book I’m reading. Bobby and I will have a discussion about it
when I’m done,” he came up with the first thing he could think of. That was
actually something that Bobby and he had done before, so it came easy to lie so
bluntly.

“Oh, all right then.”

“Maybe Bobby could come here next week,” Sam said. It was the exact opposite of
what he wanted, but he knew, for the sake of him, that he couldn’t see Dean
again. Sam missed him too much. If he were to see his knight in shining armor
again, his strong will would dissolve and Sam would rush to his arms. He was
heartbroken, but he forced himself to think with reason.

“Whatever you want, Samuel. I thought you enjoyed leaving the house for a bit.”

“I do.” Sam couldn’t bring himself to close that door completely. “It’s just
that sometimes we talk about stuff I have read about in my books and I like
having them at hand to show him.” Sam wondered how come it was growing so easy
to lie through his teeth. Perhaps an entire life of keeping secrets had also
taught him to hide the truth.

Crowley observed the interaction with feigned dismay. He was pretty sure
something had happened between the Prince and the mechanic’s son, but if that
meant they wouldn’t be seeing each other again then in all honesty Crowley was
relieved and he couldn’t care less about what exactly had gone on.

“Suit yourself. I have to go now. Take care. I love you.”

“I love you too, Dad,” Sam said automatically. He watched as his father left.
Crowley was looking intently at him, and Sam met his eyes. They didn’t say
anything, but Sam could almost see the things going through Crowley’s head now.

The boy lowered his eyes to the book and kept reading, trying to ignore the
protests of his heart.


~ * ~


When Sam didn’t show up for the second time, Dean’s worry grew. When Sam had
been gone for two whole weeks, however, Dean began to lose his mind. He walked
into the church for the sixth time since the last time he had seen the boy, and
once again there was no sign of Sam. Except that this time Bobby seemed to be
on his way out.

“Where are you going? Aren’t you gonna wait for Sam?”

Bobby took a deep breath and looked at the young man in front of him. “I’m
heading out to his house right now. Sam has requested a class in his own
place.” Bobby watched Dean’s reaction when he said that. He could see how the
news distressed him.

“Why would he do that? He loves having time away from home.”

“Well, I don’t know, Dean.” Bobby took a few steps closer until they were face
to face. “Why don’t you tell me, huh?”

Dean took a step back and his lips fell shut.

“For the past days you’ve been coming here with that lost puppy look on your
face as if you’re guilty or something, but when I ask what happened between the
two of you you won’t give me an answer. So I don’t know what is going on, but
I’m glad I’ll be seeing him today.”

“Nothing happened between us…”

“Oh, please!” Bobby fumed.

“Sam won’t accept help, that’s all.” Dean blurted.

Bobby seemed to watch Dean more closely. “And why would he need help?”

“Because he does, and you know that! I don’t know what happens inside his
house, and perhaps you don’t either, but you’ve told me before that there’s a
lot we don’t know about Sam, and well, I think some of this shit is actually
pretty harmful.”

“And why would you say that?” Bobby grew interested.

“I have my reasons. Don’t tell me you don’t have yours,” Dean retorted.
“Anyway, why am I being questioned like this? Why doesn’t anyone question that
creepy dude Sam has as a father, hm? Don’t you think there’s something going on
there? I mean, my dad thinks the guy is evil, why would he say that out loud
and have the entire city think he’s crazy?”

“I’ve already told you to go and ask your dad—”

“You know something,” Dean cut him off. “You used to come to our house all the
time when I was a kid. I remember you there almost every day looking after me.
Then suddenly you stopped coming altogether and my father stopped talking about
you. What the fuck happened between you guys?”

“That’s none of your business!” Bobby frowned and eyed Dean angrily.

“Is it not? Because my father’s hatred for Azazel is the only thing in his life
strong enough to make him end a friendship.”

Bobby shook his head. He couldn’t tell Dean about the past. He wasn’t even sure
how much of what he knew was actually the truth. Besides, it was not up to him
to change Dean’s life with the information he had.

“Goodbye, Dean…” Bobby turned around to leave.

“I think Sam’s scared,” Dean said quickly, his heart racing. That certainly got
Bobby’s attention. The priest turned around and his features softened.

“Why do you think that?” Bobby couldn’t explain it when his chest tightened
with a feeling of dread.

“I don’t know, alright?” Dean looked exasperated. His eyes were glassy with
barely contained emotion. “I started asking about his life and he just shut
down, and there was this look in his eyes…” Dean could see it in his dreams at
night. “I swear he looked terrified or something.”

Bobby didn’t know what to say. He had quite often had this feeling of dread
assault him when he was dealing with Sam, as if the boy was somehow in danger.
Yet, there had never been any physical evidence that the boy was hurt in any
way. Sam had never broken anything, there were never any bruises… There was
just that one time that he knocked the pot of boiling water over his hands and
did some nasty damage, but accidents like that sometimes happened even to
careful and caring parents. Bobby assumed the feeling had everything to do with
John and the crazy stuff his former friend had tried to put in his head. Now,
Bobby didn't think John had told his kid anything, so how come Dean started to
hang out with Sam and felt the same way?

Bobby took a deep breath to try and clear his thoughts.

“Did he tell you anything?” he asked.

“He didn’t. But I feel—”

“Dean,” it was Bobby’s turn to interrupt him. “I’ve been teaching Sam for years
now. I’ve been inside his home for countless times. I think I'd have noticed if
anything was going on. I’m often alone with Sam, don’t you think he would have
said something had his dad or anyone else abused him physically or verbally?”

Perhaps, Dean thought. He believed Bobby when he said he had never seen
anything out of the ordinary, but why couldn’t Dean ignore the thought that
something was awfully wrong?

“Could…could you deliver a message for him then? On my behalf?”

Bobby sighed and placed both hands on Dean’s shoulders. “Dean, I know you grew
fond of Prince Samuel, but the two of you are way too different. His not coming
to classes are his own doing, so I think you should respect that. Give him
space.”

“But Bobby…”

“I’m sorry, Dean. If Sam wanted to see you he’d have shown up by now.”

That hurt, even more so because Bobby was probably right. Dean didn’t think
Sam’s weird father had locked him up or anything. Sam had said it was over in
their last conversation and he was keeping true to his word.

“Can you at least tell me if he’s okay?”

“Of course.” Bobby smiled softly. “I love that kid, Dean. I’d be glad to help
him if he needed.”

Dean nodded, even though he was far from pleased.

“Try and get your mind off of him. Go to work, go surfing, go chase girls…”
Bobby shook his head. “Go do whatever you used to do before you met him.”

“I thought you didn’t approve of me chasing girls.”

“Don’t be a smartass,” Bobby said and Dean chuckled. “I just figured that if I
told you to sit and pray my advice would fall on deaf ears.”

“It really would.”

“I know you.”

Bobby ruffled Dean’s head playfully and kissed his forehead. “Get out of my way
now, kid.”

Dean complied and left the church, not sure what to do next.


~ * ~


A few hours later, Dean could be found at the beach bar where he worked. It was
still early for parties, but he had opened the bar and invited his friends to
grab a few drinks, which was exactly what he needed now.

Benny and Castiel accompanied him as he downed one shot after another, and both
of them exchanged silent looks of understanding as they realized how much
sulking was involved in the process.

It was a while, though, before any of them made an attempt to talk about it.

“So, Dean…how about the prince boy?” Benny asked, and that earned him a dirty
look from Castiel.

“What about him?” Dean groaned, pouring himself another drink.

“When will we see him again?...or perhaps we won’t and that’s why you’re
drinking?”

Dean was angry, but above that he was just sad. Those were his two best friends
in the world, and he knew they were worried about him.

“I made him come.”

“Where? Is he coming here?” Benny frowned

“Dude…” Cas rolled his eyes and elbowed his friend.

“Oh,” Benny arched his eyebrows and chuckled leeringly. “That was not what I
expected you to say at all,” he laughed and punched Dean’s shoulder playfully.

“And then he freaked out, said it was over between us and that we couldn’t see
each other again,” Dean went on.

“Damn.” Benny’s face changed immediately.

“What? Why would he do that? Did you guys have sex?” Castiel asked.

“No!” Dean raised both of his hands with frustration. “It was nothing, really.
I didn’t even see him naked or anything, but something must have happened
because he looked totally disturbed. And now he won’t come to classes and I
can’t talk to him about it.”

“That’s really odd,” Cas admitted.

“Do you have any idea why he did that? Didn’t he tell you anything?”

“He told me nothing. I asked him what was wrong but he kept saying he needed to
go and that he couldn’t do anything… I was hoping we would have talked about it
by now but he’s been avoiding me.”

“I don’t understand why he would do that. But surely he must have a reason,”
Cas said. “The problem is that there’s no way you’ll know what it is if he
doesn’t talk you.”

“Exactly!” Dean exclaimed, frustrated. “I asked Bobby to send him a message but
the priest won’t do it.”

Suddenly Dean’s face lit up and he looked at his friends.

“I should go see him, right? I should totally break into that mansion again and
go talk to him.”

“No, that’s no what I said!” Cas said quickly.

“I should go in and talk to him, and ask him what’s going on. That’s the only
way to understand what happened.”

Castiel and Benny exchanged a worried look.

“Dude, you’re crazy,” Benny said.

“Why? I’ve done it before, I can do it again.”

“Last time you broke into that house there was a party going on, lots of people
in disguises, drunk security…what the hell makes you think you can do it now?”
Benny explained.

“I don’t know. But I’ve got to try, right?” Dean asked, hopeful.

“You’ll get caught for sure.” Castiel said.

“I don’t fucking care!” Dean slammed his hands on the counter. “I’ve made up my
mind. I’ll go see him.”

Castiel closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

“Wait.” He put his hand around Dean’s arm and held him.

“What?”

“Maybe I can help,” Cas said.

Both Dean and Benny looked at him.

“How so?” Dean was instantly interested.

“I've been in that house a couple of times before. I can come up with an excuse
and go there again. I’m sure Azazel will see no problem in letting me in and I
could deliver a message.”

“Would you do that for me?”

Castiel hated what this thing was doing to Dean, but he hated even more to see
him suffer.

“Yeah. Tomorrow I’ll go. I need to come up with something first. You go back to
the shack and write something down.”

Dean nodded. He pulled Castiel into an awkward hug and smiled before turning
around and leaving quickly.

“Ah, Dean? The bar?” Benny called after him.

“Wait for me and don’t drink anything expensive. I’ll be right back,” Dean said
hurriedly.

“Are you sure that was a good idea?” Benny asked when Dean was gone.

“Of course not. But do you have any doubts that he would have gone himself if I
didn’t offer?” Cas retorted.

“No. No doubt at all.”

The two of them watched until Dean disappeared in the distance.


~ * ~


Bobby stole worried glances in Sam’s direction during the entire class. Dean’s
words resonated in his brain. What if Sam was indeed in danger? Bobby studied
the boy but there seemed to be nothing wrong about Sam. He didn’t look hurt or
anything. He was more serious, that was true, but nothing Bobby wouldn’t have
expected since he had a disagreement with his best—and probably only—friend.

Their time together went by fast, and sometimes Bobby felt as if Sam made an
effort to seem natural and cheerful. It filled Bobby with the desire to probe,
but he kept thinking about John Winchester and his crazy theories, and he told
himself he could not go down that same dangerous path.

“So, when are you coming back to the church?” Bobby asked when the class was
ending. “Dean’s asked about you today.” And for the past days since you stopped
coming, Bobby thought but didn’t say it out loud.

Sam smiled too quickly and the gesture died on his lips before ever making it
to his eyes. It was not an honest smile at all.

“Soon, I guess. I was feeling a bit indisposed, but I’m better now. I don’t
know when, though.”

Bobby nodded at the vague answer and chose not to inquire further.

“Alright, prince… By the way,” Bobby looked around before going on. They were
alone in Sam’s room. “Sam…is everything alright?”

Sam frowned. “Uh, yeah. Why?”

Bobby thought for a moment or two and took a deep breath. “Nothing…it's
just...you'd tell me if something was wrong, right? You know you can trust me.”

"Bobby, what's going on? You're not making much sense..."

The two of them exchanged a meaningful look. Bobby broke before Sam did.

"I...I'm sorry, Sam. See you in a couple of days, yeah?”

“Yes, sure. Thanks for coming.”

“You know I don’t mind.”

Sam watched Bobby go and Crowley return. Inside of him, his heart bled and
ached, and Sam began to wonder when it would finally start to get better.


~ * ~


The next day, when the door bell rang, Sam went downstairs to see who it was.
Since his dad wasn’t expecting any visitors, that Sam was aware of, he grew
curious enough to leave his room.

Azazel himself opened the door, and from a distance Sam’s heart raced when his
eyes landed on Castiel, one of Dean’s friends. The first feeling that hit him
was jealously—Castiel had kissed Dean, he had slept with him! And then longing.
Seeing Castiel was like seeing a part of Dean, and Sam’s heart seemed to
shatter all over again.

“Castiel!” Azazel exclaimed. “To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?” he
looked surprised.

Castiel looked past Azazel quickly at the boy hiding in the distance. Sam
watched the scene with discreet interest.

“Oh, I’m so sorry to show up like this, sir,” Castiel excused himself. “But I
think I lost something here on the night of Prince Samuel’s birthday.”

“Really? And what would that be?”

“A business card.”

Azazel frowned.

“One of your guests came to talk to me after the singing, he praised me very
enthusiastically. He even said he might be interested in hiring my
performance.”

“That’s great. I’m happy for you,” Azazel said.

“Thank you, sir. The problem is that I seem to have lost the business card he
gave me, and he does not have my number.”

Azazel frowned. “Well, then I’m sure I can help you. What did this man look
like?”

Castiel was glad Azazel had taken the bait. Meanwhile, he made sure to make eye
contact with the boy watching everything from a safe distance.

“He was tall…I don’t remember much, but he was wearing a black suit and he had
a beard…” Castiel knew he was describing most of the men at the party.

“What color was his hair?”

“I don’t remember because of his disguise…But he was very friendly. He told one
joke after the other and wouldn’t stop flirting with all the pretty girls
around,” Castiel smiled politely and Azazel chuckled.

“That sounds like Kyle. Was this man a little heavy on the waistline?”

“Uh, yes, a little.” Castiel agreed readily.

“Then it was definitely him. I can get you his number. Let me get it.” Azazel
made as if he would turn around. “Make yourself comfortable. I’ll be only gone
a minute.”

“Thank you so much, sir.”

Castiel watched the yellow-eyed doctor leave and his eyes met Sam’s. They were
quiet for a few seconds, studying each other. Eventually, Castiel moved and
made sure his shoulder brushed Sam’s lightly. The boy felt fingers touching his
own, and Sam looked down to see a paper note pushed in his hand. He looked up
at Castiel but the singer was looking away, undisturbed.

Sam looked at the note, searched for his dad or any of the servants but no one
was looking at him. He opened it and read it quickly.


I miss you. When will we meet? —D.


Sam’s heart fell apart. His lips quivered and he squeezed the note tightly.
Castiel watched the reaction from a very small distance. Sam’s face was that of
sheer pain. Why was it so hard to do the right thing? By God he was trying, why
did Dean make it so difficult?

Sam turned to Castiel and shook his head. To Castiel’s surprise, Sam’s hazel
eyes were drowning in evident wetness. The boy tore the message to pieces and
shook his head.

“Tell him I’m sorry,” he whispered and went upstairs quickly.

Castiel waited for Azazel to return, not sure what he had just witnessed.


~ * ~


“So, what did he say?” Dean sat by the shore with Castiel by his side. “When
will he meet me?”

Castiel had been doing a lot of thinking since he had left the mansion. He had
to think fast tough, because the moment he arrived at the beach Dean found him
and he needed answers.

“Dean,” Castiel began. He stared at the waves washing over their feet. “Sam
tore the message up. He said to tell you that he’s sorry.”

Dean’s face tugged at Castiel’s heart and he wished he could hold his friend
and take the pain away. He had never seen Dean that vulnerable and hurting.

“Oh,” Dean said. When he swallowed it felt like his throat was so tight he
could barely breathe.

The two men didn’t say anything for a long time. It was the time it took Dean
to regain control of his emotions and not let them leak down his cheeks.

“And how did he look?” he asked, as if he didn’t care about the answer at all.
“Was he good?”

Castiel considered his answer very carefully. If he told Dean that Sam looked
troubled, then his friend would most definitely want to go after him and that
was bound to end very badly. On the other hand, if Castiel told Dean that Sam
looked happy, he knew it would be a decisive step towards getting Dean to move
on. It was on his hands to help his friend let go of this potentially harmful
infatuation. ‘Just tell him Sam looks great’, a voice said in his brain.

Castiel opened his mouth and his words died when he saw the sorrow in Dean’s
eyes.

“He looks broken.”

Something changed immediately in the way Dean was staring at him.

“He looks so sad I can’t put it into words,” Castiel said. “When he tore the
message up and said he was sorry there were tears in his eyes.”

Dean’s heart tightened in his chest in a confusing mix of joy and pain.

“He misses me then.”

“You shouldn’t go back there,” Castiel said. “It’ll only end in trouble, and I
mean the serious kind of trouble. Azazel is no normal guy. I think your dad is
right when he says something really bizarre is taking place there. I wish you’d
leave it alone.”

Dean’s confusing thoughts were all over his face.

“What would you do if you were me?” Dean asked.

Castiel smiled sadly. He had hoped Dean wouldn’t ask that.

“I would go back for him, no matter what my friends told me.”

Dean pulled Castiel close and kissed the top of his head.

“Thank you.”

***** Chapter 32 *****
Chapter Notes
     Guys, sorry for the delay. My finals are getting in the way. Hope
     it's worth the wait. =)
 


Chapter 32


Sam finished the chapter and closed the book. His stomach growled and he
checked his watch. Dinner would be ready soon, he thought. His dad still hadn’t
arrived, and even though Azazel didn’t eat food, unless he was out traveling or
had to be at the hospital, the cook waited for him to serve the meal.

The boy looked from his bed to the setting sun outside. He sighed softly,
almost unconsciously. Sam looked at Crowley, sitting in a corner of his room
and leafing through the newspaper.

“I need some air,” Sam mumbled and got to his feet. He could feel Crowley’s
eyes on his back as he made his way towards the balcony. The moment Sam heard
movement, though, he stopped and turned around. “I’m just going to see the
sunset. Dad isn’t even home, give me a damn break.” Sam frowned and his
annoyance was tangible.

Crowley nodded shortly and sat back down. He watched as Sam disappeared on the
balcony. From where he was, Crowley could still see a small portion of the
boy’s clothes.

Sam looked at the sky and felt the same powerful emotions threaten to surface.
He wished he could find meaning in his life again. He wished he could just
forget. How long would he have to wait until he was finally able to move on?
Why couldn’t he just live his life as if Dean didn’t exist?

Sam took a quivering breath and looked down at the garden. The shadows were
already dancing in the yard, and there was not much Sam could see. When his
ears picked up a noise, though, a faint ruffling of leaves, Sam narrowed his
eyes and tried to look further. He searched, but there was nothing there to
see. Sam was about to shrug the sound off and go back inside when a louder, and
much closer noise startled him.

“What the—” Sam began, but before he turned around there was a hand covering
his mouth as someone grabbed him from behind.

Sam’s heart raced and his first instinct was to thrash violently. He turned
around quickly within the grip the person had on him, and the moment his mouth
was free he parted his lips to scream.

Except the scream never came.

“Dean!” Sam’s heart, that was already beating fast, started galloping.

Dean opened one of his radiant smiles, one that could shine as bright as the
silver moon rising in the sky. He took a finger to his lips so Sam would lower
his voice.

“What the hell are you doing here? How did you get past security?” Sam felt
shaky. His knees were barely holding him in an upright position. He thought he
would never see Dean again, but now, looking at him, he wondered how he could
ever think it would be possible to live without that knight in a shinning armor
smile of his.

“I’ve learned a trick or two with my dad when we went hunting. I slipped past
them unnoticed.” The truth was, for the past three days Dean had been studying
the movement around Azazel’s mansion. He had observed the schedule of the
security guards and found obvious breaches in their routine he could use in his
favor. Using the skills he had acquired chasing prey in the middle of the woods
without making a sound, Dean had been able to find his way back to the same
balcony where Sam and he had been together on the night of Sam’s sixteenth
birthday.

“You’re crazy! If my dad catches you here he’ll…”

“Your dad isn’t in.”

“Right, but he’ll come in at any moment…” Sam freaked out. “Besides, Crowley is
right here…” Sam pointed towards the bedroom.

“Don’t worry. I can handle him.”

“No,” Sam shook his head. Seeing Dean was amazing, but it was way too
dangerous. The mechanic’s son had to leave that property before anyone could
see him. Sam could not risk having his father’s people find out about them.

“We need to talk,” Dean said. “Since you won’t come to class, I decided to come
after you.”

Sam was torn between the blissful sensation of seeing Dean again and the
painful knowledge that they couldn’t be together weighing down on him.

“You have to…”

“Prince? Who are you…” Crowley cut Sam off when he showed up at the balcony.
“Dean? What the fuck are you—”

Dean moved swiftly and before Sam understood what was happening he saw
Crowley’s red face as Dean got him in a tight headlock. “I’m here to talk to
Sam. Are you going to be a problem?”

Crowley looked desperately at Sam as he grew short of breath, but the Prince
didn’t come to his aid.

“I asked, are you going to be a problem?” Dean repeated calmly.

Crowley felt faint. He summoned all the air he had left and managed to utter
something. “No,” his voice sounded raspy and breathless.

“Are you sure?”

“Please!”

Dean released him and Crowley took a few steps back.

“They’ll kill you when they realize you trespassed,” Crowley said, hurt. He
felt at his throat and eyed the older boy.

“That’s why they won’t find out. You go and sit by the door. Let me know if my
dad comes in,” Sam said. “We need privacy.”

Crowley stared at the Prince and Sam stared back.

“Go. Now.”

Crowley didn’t feel like he had a choice. He nodded and walked back inside the
bedroom, where he found his armchair and pulled it closer to the door. He could
hear fragments of the whispered conversation that started in the balcony, but
for his own sake he told himself he’d rather not know what the two of them were
talking about. Keeping an eye out for Azazel seemed like a much more important
task so that was what Crowley focused on.


~ * ~


In the balcony, Sam’s heart raced as Dean and he stood face to face.

“You shouldn’t have come here,” Sam said softly, even though he felt joy
vibrating inside of him.

“How else were we supposed to talk then?” Dean stepped closer. He was dying to
touch Sam, but the boy looked uneasy so he waited.

“Dean…there’s nothing for us to talk.” Nothing had changed since the last time
they had met in that Sam still could not tell the older man the secrets that
permeated his life.

“What do you mean there’s nothing for us to talk? You left without telling me
what was wrong.”

“You told me to leave.”

Dean swallowed hard. He wanted to pull Sam into a tight embrace and smell his
hair, but he refrained. “I’m so sorry. I got frustrated and angry at how
helpless it felt, you know…seeing you struggle with something you wouldn’t even
tell me about.”

“If that’s what you came here for then I’m sorry. I can’t tell you anything. We
shouldn’t see each other again.”

“So you’re saying you don’t miss me?” Dean took Sam’s wrist lightly.

Sam felt his heart burst and his blood rush faster. He looked into Dean’s green
eyes and felt lost.

“I…” Sam began. “It doesn’t matter if I do. You want answers, I can’t give
them. Trust me, I’m doing what’s best for both of us. If we stop now we can
avoid a lot of trouble.”

“And who says I want to avoid trouble? I love trouble!” Dean smiled widely, and
he managed to get a faint smile out of Sam. “Come here…” Dean tugged at Sam’s
wrist but the boy pulled away.

“You have to go.” Sam had to be reasonable. If they started meeting again it
would be only a matter of time until the same questions pulled them apart and
caused more hurting.

Dean looked past Sam’s hesitance to what seemed to lay right below the surface.

“Why are you scared?”

Sam’s heart jumped in his chest. “Who said I’m scared?” he tried to sound firm
but his eyes betrayed him.

“What's going on with you? You can trust me, you know that…”

“I can’t talk about it. You can’t help, Dean. Just please, go back to your
life, just forget about me…”

“How can I forget about you? How can I pretend nothing is going on? I can see
you’re struggling with something…”

“Why do you even care so much?” Sam snapped and stepped back. His voice was low
as not to call attention, but it sounded daring and strong. There was a storm
of emotions inside of him and Sam could barely keept it all from showing.

Dean stood perfectly still. He felt the drumming in his chest and smiled
softly.

“Because I’m in love with you.” Dean smiled and his eyes glowed. He never
thought he’d actually say those words, but now, as he spoke them, he understood
that was exactly what his heart had been demanding for a long time now.

“You’re what…?” Sam’s voice dropped to something barely audible. His hazel eyes
were wide and unblinking.

“I’ve loved you since I first saw you, but it took me a while to figure it
out.” Dean studied the boy for his reaction. Sam was dead silent. “Look,” Dean
went on. “I don’t mean to be a pain in the ass, okay? I don’t know what your
life is like and what you’re going through. I don’t want to be a dick about it,
I swear. So if you tell me that you don’t feel the same, I promise it’s fine.
It’ll hurt like a bitch, but I’ll leave you alone. I’ll respect your decision,
alright? I guess I just needed to tell you this. But if you really want me to
leave then I’ll—”

Sam closed the distance between them and Dean hardly knew what was happening
before their mouths connected. Sam kissed him hard and Dean wrapped his arms
around Sam’s smaller frame, drawing him closer.

The kiss broke but Sam stood just as close, within Dean’s arms.

“I love you too,” he whispered. “I’ve never felt this way before so I might be
wrong…” Sam confessed. He looked into Dean’s eyes and his heart thudded warmly.
“But I don’t think I am.”

Dean smiled and they kissed again. He didn’t know what feeling had the best of
him at the moment, whether it was happiness or relief. All he knew was that his
chest could barely handle all the blissful sensations striking at once. He
wished he could just take Sam right now and go somewhere.

“Run away with me.”

“What?” Sam laughed softly.

“Just for tonight, c’mon. Let’s go somewhere!”

Dean’s smile was intoxicating, but even though Sam was brimming with love and
joy, he couldn’t ignore his reason. “Dean, I can’t… My father will be here at
any moment and we’ll have dinner together.”

“But will you at least start going to class again?” Dean studied the boy.
“Look, I don’t know what’s going on, but I promise I’ll try and be patient,
okay? I just need to know we’ll see each other again.”

Sam nodded. He had no idea what he would do, or what he had just done. Even
though he could hear the voice of reason inside of him, his heart was currently
in control.

He was loved. By Dean! And Sam loved him too, so much! How could Sam not give
in to something that felt so amazing? He wasn’t so strong…

“Prince!” Crowley’s rushed voice came up in the balcony and made them pull
away, startled. “Your father has arrived. He’s brought guests. He’ll be coming
up at any moment.”

“All right. I’m going in.”

“Prince! Right now! C’mon!” he gave Dean a dirty look.

“I said I’m coming. Give me a moment.”

Crowley sighed and looked both annoyed and worried when he left.

Sam turned to Dean and they held hands.

“I have to go.”

“I want to see you again.”

“I’ll go to class next week.”

“No. I want to see you tonight.”

“Tonight? I can’t…”

“I’ll wait for you.”

“This is crazy…”

“It isn’t. You go and have dinner with your dad, then you get your warden to
keep an eye out as he’s doing now. Just so we can be together a bit longer…”

Sam thought hard about it and nodded. “Okay.”

Dean smiled and squeezed Sam’s hand.

“I’ll go down and have dinner. We’ll meet here again in about an hour. Can you
keep hidden until then?”

“Of course. I’ll find a place near those trees. They won’t come looking for me.
I’ll come back to this spot in one hour.”

“We won’t be able to do much, and it’ll probably be very quick…”

“I don’t care. If I get to kiss you one more time it’ll be worth it.”

At that moment Sam realized, a little too late, that his life had probably
already changed for good.

“Prince!” Crowley’s voice came from within the bedroom.

“I gotta go. Please hide. Don’t let them see you,” Sam urged.

“Don’t worry my sweet angel. In one hour I’ll be here.” Dean kissed Sam’s lips
quickly and moved away.

“Careful,” Sam whispered as he watched Dean jump out of the balcony and
disappear in the shadows of the garden.

Sam walked back inside the room a moment before his dad walked in.


~ * ~


“There you are, my lovely,” Azazel greeted him.

Sam waited as his dad walked closer and kissed his forehead.

“Hi, Dad. How was work?”

“Nothing out of the ordinary. But I do have something special for dinner. I
have brought a few friends over.”

“Oh.” Sam felt a twinge of fear. “Are they…are they…” Vampires? He wanted to
ask, but couldn’t quite bring himself to.

“They’re looking forward to meeting the Prince.”

“Is Lucifer with them?” Sam asked, suddenly. He didn’t know why he brought the
business man’s name up, but part of him kind of hoped he would be. Lucifer was,
after all, human, and he had been respectful even when they were alone.

“No, Lucifer is somewhere in Europe as we speak.” Azazel seemed to study the
boy curiously. “But I’m glad you asked for him,” he said enigmatically. “Now go
take a shower and come down so I can introduce you to my friends over dinner.”

“Okay, Dad. Just give me a few minutes.”

Azazel nodded, looked briefly in Crowley’s direction and left the room.

Sam sighed. He hoped dinner would go by fast. It wasn’t the first time Azazel
brought important friends for dinner, and Sam was used to being shown around
like a prize. He wished it didn’t have to be tonight, though, after he had just
agreed to meet Dean in the balcony in one hour.

Sam cast a look full of longing towards the door leading to the open balcony
and then looked at the bathroom.

“Crowley, will you please get my stuff?”

“Of course, Prince.”


~  * ~


When Sam left the shower there was no silver robe waiting for him, just his
regular clothes, which caused him to sigh with relief. ‘It’s just a quick
dinner and then I’ll hang out with Dean,’he told himself as he got dressed.

“Oh, there you are,” Azazel exclaimed when Sam left the bathroom.

Sam looked around and realized Crowley was gone.

“I’m almost ready, Dad. I’ll be going down in a few minutes.”

“I know.” Azazel was holding a glass of water in his hand. “Come here just a
second.”

Sam did as told and joined his father as he sat on the edge of the bed.

“Drink this.” Azazel pushed the glass in Sam’s direction.

Sam’s heart skipped a beat and he felt an intense spike of uneasiness go
through him.

“I’m not thirsty. Thank you,” he declined, politely.

Azazel smiled and put a lock of hair behind the boy’s ear. “C’mon, baby. Drink
this. It’s just water.”

Sam’s heart raced. He took the glass in his hand and looked down at it. Indeed,
it looked like nothing but water.

‘I’ll come back to this spot in one hour’ Sam could hear Dean’s voice in his
mind.

“I don’t really want to. I’m good.” Sam tried to give the glass back.

“Samuel.” Azazel’s voice grew a bit deeper and his face became less friendly.
“Do as I tell you. I want you to drink this.”

“Why? Is there something in it?” Sam’s heart was racing erratically now.

“Don’t you trust your daddy?”

Sam looked into the yellow eyes coaxing him. He didn’t want to drink from that
glass, now more than ever, but he was afraid to say no.

“Please, Dad…” he whispered.

“Drink.” Azazel’s voice was a command.

Sam’s throat was tight but he complied. He swallowed everything down, and even
though it looked like water, the taste was somewhat different. Of course it
was, Sam thought. He had expected it to be.

“That’s a good boy,” Azazel smiled warmly again. “Now come down with me. Let’s
not leave our guests waiting.”


~ * ~


Sam could feel the eyes on him. In the dinning room, there were four of his
dad’s friends already waiting around the big wooden table.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is my son, Prince Samuel,” Azazel introduced him.

“Hello, Samuel,” a woman smiled at him and offered to shake his hand. Sam took
it, but didn’t say anything.

“Isn’t he everything I spoke of?” Azazel asked proudly.

“That he is…” Another woman said leeringly. “Hey there, sweetie.”

Sam could see two women and two men. The men watched him from a distance and
smiled. Sam had never seen any of those people before.

“Let us eat, shall we?” Azazel said and everyone got a spot at the table.

Sam was walking towards his seat when he felt his sight become a little
blurred. He blinked a few times and the feeling went away. What was in that
glass?

Sam wasn’t hungry anymore, but the moment he sat down the courses started
coming to the table. The boy watched as his father engaged in merry
conversation with his friends, and even though they eventually looked at him
and smiled, Sam felt they weren’t paying him much attention.

“Would you like some juice, Prince?”

“What?”

“Juice?”

Sam looked at the servant and nodded. He tried to keep his eyes very open to
the details, but he found he was having trouble paying attention. His eyelids
grew heavy and his eyes felt dry. Sam ate some of the food on his plate and
looked at everyone else’s plates. There was food on all of them, which was
good, but Sam didn’t see any of them actually take a bite from it.

“Is it good, honey?”

Sam lifted his head towards his father’s voice.

“Do you like dinner?”

“Yes…”

Sam ate the food slowly and looked around. He wondered what was going on with
him. He didn’t feel different, and yet, he knew something was going on.

About ten minutes into the dinner, Sam looked at his hands as his fingers
tingled and grew numb.

He raised his eyes to look at his all around, but the blurred vision was back
and Sam felt dizzy. ‘Oh God, there was something in that glass. I need to tell
Dean, he’ll be waiting, he’ll…’ Sam wanted to scream, but his tongue felt too
thick in his mouth and his head was spinning.

“Samuel, are you okay?” Azazel narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

Sam barely heard the sound of his dad’s voice. ‘Even if we just kiss again
it’ll be worth it’, the thought echoed somewhere in his mind, and Sam knew he
had to stay awake, he knew it was important not to give in the powerful
sleepiness taking him over.

“I’m…” Sam made as if he would stand up. He needed to go back to his room. Dean
and he would meet in one hour. He had to…

The moment he tried to stand up everything went black. Sam’s eyes rolled in the
back of his head before they fell shut, and the prince fell back on his chair,
his sleeping head missing the plate by only a few inches.

“Samuel.” Azazel got up quickly and picked Sam up. He checked the boy’s pulse
and smiled at the faint heartbeat. He then looked at the four pairs of eyes
focused expectantly on him. “Shall we dine now?”

     Thank you so much for the support guys! Happy one year anniversary of

Chapter 33



Having found the living heir of such a powerful blood lineage, and having this
heir, Samuel Winchester, under his care and protection, growing up as his own
son, certainly gave Azazel power and status among other vampires. Part of the
security he had around Sam was in fact to make sure no envious vampire would
try and steal the boy away.

Since the moment Azazel had started feeding on Sam, he hadn’t really welcomed
others to share him very often. At first he had been just too busy giving in to
the selfish pleasure of having Samuel all to himself. Now though, as the boy’s
blood made him stronger and Azazel grew more confident in his capacity to
protect him, he relaxed and allowed himself to bask in the feeling of having
something all the other vampires desired, and that could give him an immense
influence over the others of his kind. Besides, Samuel was now sixteen and
Azazel could no longer tell for how much longer he could keep the boy a virgin,
and in a few more years he would have to let him go because of his deal with
Lucifer. He knew he should take advantage of the next few years and use the
asset he had wisely. And he also knew that after all the trouble he had gone
through to get his hands on King Arhtur’s blood heir, he was entitled to having
some fun with him.

Tonight, Azazel had brought over four of his closest kins. Every six months or
so Azazel welcomed them in town for orgies that lasted days, sometimes weeks,
but Samuel had never been a part of that. Vampires had an intense blood lust,
and every now and then they mated to satisfy the urgency that blood alone
couldn’t. Now, as Azazel picked Sam’s limp body in his arms and carried him to
his bedroom, he decided to start the night with something extra special.

“Shut the door. Lock it,” Azazel commanded one of the men. He lay Sam gently on
his king size bed and began to strip him off his clothes little by little. By
the time he was done and Sam was lying naked, there were five vampires hovering
over him, studying his smooth skin hungrily.

“My mouth is already watering,” one of the women said. She had long brown hair
and dark eyes.

“Hand me those ropes,” Azazel asked the other man, a tall blond vampire with
killer blue eyes.

“These?”

“Yeah.” Azazel took the silk ropes and took one of Sam’s wrists gently. He tied
the garment around it and then stretched the boy’s arm to tie it to the
headboard.

“Oh, this looks yummy,” the other woman, with light hair, giggled and licked at
her fangs.

“Why are you tying him up?” the man wearing a dark suit and who wore his dark
hair neatly combed asked. “I thought you drugged him so he’ll sleep through it
all.”

“I did,” Azazel confirmed. He now used the silk rope to stretch Sam’s long legs
and tie them up too, making the boy look completely vulnerable and invitingly
sweet. “But I used a really low dose of the drug so it won’t interfere too much
with the taste in his blood. In case he does wake up in the middle of it, I
don’t want him to get scared and hurt himself.” If Samuel struggled against
several pairs of fangs, he could get seriously wounded, and Azazel needed to
avoid that.

He stood up and watched the Prince spread open in bed. His heart raced and he
smiled. One of the women sat by the bed and ran a hand over Sam’s cheek.

“Can I? Oh my God, I need it so bad… I can feel his pulse beneath my
fingertips, so strong…” she licked her lips.

“You know the rules,” Azazel said. The other four vampires stopped in their
contemplation of the prince and looked at the host.

“Don’t drink too much,” the blond man said, obediently.

“He’s the appetizer, not the main course,” the dark haired woman completed.

“Exactly,” Azazel nodded. “What else?”

The dark-haired man smiled leeringly and studied the boy in bed. He got hard
just looking at his helplessness.

“No sex,” he said.

“It’s really important,” Azazel stressed. “The prince is innocent, and he’ll
remain untainted when this is over.”

“Can’t we corrupt him? Just a little? You know, play with him…” the blond man
grinned and ran a large hand up and down Sam’s thigh, his fingers circling
invisible patters on the soft skin.

“No. We can play among ourselves after we feed,” Azazel stated. “Is that fine
by everyone?” Azazel watched as the four vampires got closer to bed and
different sets of hands started to explore Sam’s warm and soft skin.

“Yes,” one of the women replied before letting her nose graze Sam’s neck.

“Well, then…enjoy, my friends.” Azazel smiled, pleased, and watched from the
end of the bed as the brunette sank her teeth into Sam’s neck.

The blond vampire spread Sam’s thighs carefully and licked at his inner thigh.
He could feel the warm blood pulsing just beneath the skin, and when he sank
his teeth, the red blood flowed over the white skin, and he licked at it
slowly, moaning low in his throat as the taste filled his mouth.

The other woman approached the bed and her fingers spread possessively over
Sam’s ribcage before she leaned closer and broke the skin with her fangs. Sam’s
taste filled her mouth and she shuddered with pleasure. “Azazel he is…he’s
amazing…!” she exclaimed, in shock. “I’ve never tasted anyone like it…”

“And neither will you ever,” Azazel replied with evident pride.

The dark-haired vampire watched the blond one lick at the dripping blood from
the boy’s thigh and adjusted himself in his pants.

“Hold your horses,” Azazel said when he saw the man with the corner of his
eyes. “Samuel is an angel to me. Respect his innocence. We’ll take care of this
later.” Azazel reached his hand and squeezed the vampire’s crotch, causing him
to groan and smile lustfully.

“As you see, I can hardlywait.”

The dark-haired vampire looked deeply into Aazel’s eyes before moving towards
the bed. He darted out his tongue and shared the same trail of blood dripping
from Sam’s thigh. His hands roamed over Sam’s sweet body as he lapped away at
the blood.

Azazel watched the scene and felt his own hunger grow.

After a few minutes, he joined the other vampires, sank his fangs into one of
Sam’s bound wrists and drank.


~ * ~


Dean took a deep breath and waited. He checked his watch for the tenth time and
looked in the direction of Sam’s window. It had been one hour since he had seen
the boy, so Dean started to make his way silently back to the balcony. He hid
behind trees and used the shadows to move, but when he managed to climb back to
the balcony, the doors to the bedroom were shut, as was the window.

‘He’s still having dinner’, Dean thought. The lights were out and there was no
sound coming from the bedroom.

He waited around for fifteen minutes before going down and hiding behind some
trees again. Sam was probably stuck in the family dinner, and Dean knew it
would be better to wait for him down in the garden; it would be safer.

The young man then thought about their conversation and the boredom of waiting
was quickly replaced by the joy of what had happened. ‘He loves me’, Dean
smiled a wide, silly smile and his heart fluttered in his chest. He closed his
eyes and leaned his head against a tree. Sam loved him, and he loved Sam, and
Dean had never felt so happy in his life.


~ * ~


Inside Azazel’s room, behind closed doors, five vampires fed on the naked
virgin boy tied to the bed. They alternated places, wanting to try and drink
from every inch of skin. Soon, Sam’s body was covered in small red dots as
fangs sank deep into his skin to taste his blood.

Azazel made sure they were drinking small little sips at a time. He kept
monitoring Sam’s pulse and breathing pattern to be certain that they didn’t
drink too much.

“Let’s turn him around,” the brown-haired woman suggested. “More places to
explore.”

The other three vampires beamed with the idea and Azazel nodded. He removed the
bindings from around Sam’s ankles so he could roll Sam on his stomach a little,
even though the boy’s hands were still tied to the headboard.

Azazel spread Sam’s thighs a bit further and soon there were three pairs of
fangs sinking into the boy’s naked butt cheeks and thighs at the same time two
other pairs of teeth sank on his shoulders so the vampires could drink with
abandon.

“He’s so delicious…” the blond woman whispered, her lips red with blood. “You
are so lucky…”

“I am.”

Azazel and her exchanged a hot look before they were kissing feverishly,
grinding together. The yellow eyed vampire knew that Sam’s powerful and magical
blood would give them enough fuel to keep going for two or three days straight,
and he could hardly wait.

In bed, the blond male vampire and the brunette made out on top of Sam’s body
while the dark-haired male vampire drank from the sensitive skin behind the
boy’s knee.


~ * ~


It had been one hour and forty five minutes since they had agreed to meet. Dean
looked hopefully at the balcony but the lights were still out, and when he
boldly tried the doors, they were locked.

Frustrated, Dean ventured around the mansion, trying to look through the
windows, hoping he could find Sam in one of the other rooms. He circled the
house until he found the dining room, but there was just a dim light in the
room and there was no longer anyone in there.

Where the hell was Sam? Where had he gone? If he wasn’t having dinner any more,
then why didn’t he go to the balcony as they had agreed?

Unfortunately, some of the windows had the blinders shut, so there was no way
Dean could see what was going on behind them, and not even in his wildest
dreams would he have imagined what Sam was going through right now.


~ * ~


He grew vaguely but increasingly aware of small, stinging sensations all over
his body. Sam stirred a little and frowned, and when he opened his eyes his
heart raced and his brain fought away his drowsiness.

Sam widened his eyes and stared, in shock, as a blond man sank his teeth near
his hipbone at the same time a woman with a cascade of brown hair drank from
his torso.

“Guys, he’s awake,” the dark-haired vampire said calmly.

“Dad?” Sam called, shakily. “What’s going on? What…?!” Sam realized in a matter
of seconds that he was lying on his back in bed, but when he tried he could not
move. He looked up in despair and realized his hands were tightly bound to the
bed, on each side of his head, and when he tried to kick the strangers off of
him, Sam understood that he could not move at all because his legs were also
bound.

“Samuel…” Azazel broke the kiss he was sharing and rushed to the bed.

“Dad!” Sam cried. “Who are they? Get them off of me!” Sam thrashed. His head
felt heavy and his sight was still a little unfocused. Sam looked around and
saw his father’s bedroom, and he didn’t know exactly how many people were in
there because it hurt when he tried to count, but he saw that he was naked and
that there were vampires feeding off him, and he felt a hot piercing pain all
over his body, and he just wanted to get the hell out of there.

“Shhh, it’s okay, baby. It’s okay.”

“Relax, Prince boy…you taste so fucking delicious…”

“No!!! Stay away!!!” Sam twisted and struggled, but he felt weak and confused.
What was happening? Why were those vampires feeding on him? “Dad! Please!!”
Sam’s voice reflected his rising despair, and he moved helplessly until his
wrists burned against the tight ropes.

“Shhh…relax, baby. It’s okay. Daddy is here. Daddy will make it go away.”
Azazel opened the first drawer of the nightstand close to the bed and picked up
a vial and a syringe from it. He sat by the bed as he filled the syringe with
the right amount of medication.

Sam looked at the needle and the flask, and he looked at the vampires in the
room eyeing him hungrily, their lips red with his blood and their eyes clouded
with desire.

“Dad, what are you doing?” Sam cringed when the needle got close.

“This will all go away, baby. When you wake up you won’t remember any of this.
I promise.” Azazel filled the syringe with a dissociative medication.

“Don’t drug me. Please, don’t, please…” Sam begged. He saw the way his father
grabbed his arm and the way the needle got closer and closer to his skin. “No!
NOOOO!!” Sam’s fear turned into desperate anger and he thrashed violently,
making it almost impossible for Azazel to give him the medication.

“Hold him down,” Azazel commanded.

In a heartbeat, there were many pairs of hands holding Sam to the bed, and even
though the boy cried loudly in protest, Azazel injected him with a large dose
midazolam, a drug capable of causing sleepiness, muscle relaxation and,
hopefully, short term memory loss. With a bit of luck, Sam wouldn’t remember
any of the night when he woke up in his bed in the morning.

Sam felt the needle go in and he knew he was crying. His vision was blurred
form the tears, his heart was racing out of fear and shame, and he just wanted
to be left alone, to go away; he wanted all of those people to disappear.

“Dad…” Sam whispered. “Help me…” Sam’s lips quivered as he uttered the plea. He
didn’t like the way the vampires looked at him, like he was food, like he was
prey.

“Go to sleep, honey…It’ll all be over soon. Shhh….”

After a few minutes, Sam began to drift into unconsciousness and the other
vampires gathered around Azazel.

“Is he asleep again?”

“Yeah,” Azazel confirmed. “You have fifteen minutes to drink a little more.
He’s already dehydrated, and soon the drug will reach its peak in his blood. So
ladies and gentlemen, have your last bites and then we’ll move on to the next
part of the night.”

There was the sound of giggling and low chuckling, and then there were hands
groping possessively and kneading soft skin in search of the perfect spot.
There were fangs sinking deep into flesh and red blood pouring into quick
tongues and eager mouths.

Sam’s head rolled on the pillow and his eyelids fluttered open a few times. He
couldn’t really see anything with distinction. In his mind, everything was a
confusing mix of sounds and teeth and he felt hands running over his body and
touching him all over, but when he tried to move away he couldn’t do anything,
because his body was floating into a dreamless sleep, and there was nothing he
could do but give in to it.


~ * ~


Dean ran a hand through his hair and sighed, a mix of frustration and
disappointment. He knew Sam hadn’t forgotten about their meeting in the
balcony, but perhaps something had gone down with his father that kept him from
showing up. Perhaps there was no way Sam could have warned him that their plans
had to be canceled.

Dean was hungry and bored out of his mind. If the lights weren’t turned on in
Sam’s bedroom for the next five minutes, then he would give up, go home, and
wait to meet Sam again during his classes with Bobby. Sam had already said that
he would go back to class, so Dean might just have to settle for the fact that
he would no longer see his love tonight.

The mechanich’s son looked at the shadows in the garden and his eyes were once
again drawn to the balcony where all the lights remained off.

Five more minutes, he thought.


~ * ~


“That’s enough.” Azazel said. He had his fingers around Sam’s wrist and he
could tell the precise moment when the boy’s heartbeats became dangerously
weak.

The vampires backed off and Azazel untied Sam carefully. He gathered the boy in
his arms and disappeared with him inside the bathroom to wash away the blood
and saliva covering his skin.

When Azazel finished rinsing Sam’s body, he dressed him with his underwear and
a silver robe.

“I’ll be right back,” he told the others before he left, carrying the sleeping
boy in his arms.

Crowley had been waiting outside Azazel’s room and he stood up the moment his
master exited with Sam in his arms.

“Do you need anything, sir?” Crowley asked, trying not to look at the boy and
wonder what had happened. It was none of his business.

“I’m going to put Samuel in bed and then I’ll return to my room. Follow me.”

Crowley followed the yellow-eyed man to the prince’s room, where they walked in
and turned on the lights. Crowley then watched as Azazel lay the boy in bed
gently and pulled the covers up to Sam’s chin.

“He’s under the effect of a sedative, and dehydrated too. He’ll sleep through
the rest of the night and morning, but in case he wakes up sooner, make him
drink water.”

“Of course.”

“And if he isn’t awake by midday, let me know and I’ll start him on an IV
fluid. I don’t think that will be necessary, though.”

“Okay, sir.”

“Other than that…” Azazel turned and looked at Crowley. “I’m not to be
disturbed in my room. Not for the next two days. Do you understand that?”

“I do,” Crowley said politely.

“Tell all the other employees that they aren’t to bother me, under any
circumstances. You’re the only one who can knock on that door if the prince
doesn’t wake up in the next eight hours or so. You must also inform me if
anything happens to him, but I trust it won’t be necessary.”

Azazel was looking forward to some good hours of hot sex and unless something
urgent requested his attention, he would kill anyone who dared interrupt one of
his rare moments of fun.

He looked at the boy sleeping heavily in bed, leaned over and placed a kiss to
his forehead. “You did wonderful tonight, my sweet Prince.” Azazel raked his
fingers through Sam’s hair and caressed him softly before getting to his feet.

“Good night, Crowley.”

“Good night, master.” Crowley bowed with reverence as Azazel exited the room.
He then looked at the boy in bed, sleeping deeply and making no sound at all,
and sighed.

Crowley shut the door, picked up a magazine and sat on the armchair in the
corner. He doubted the boy would give him trouble tonight.


~ * ~


Dean was almost on his way out when he saw the light coming from Sam’s bedroom.
“Finally!” he whispered to himself. Even if they didn’t have much time to talk
now, Dean couldn’t resist going back for Sam. He would kiss the boy goodnight,
at least one long and warm kiss, and then he would be on his way.

Dean was glad he had waited. Looking into Sam’s eyes and kissing him goodnight
would be a delicious end to an already amazing night.

The young man made his way through the garden until he arrived at the balcony,
now shimmering under the light coming from inside the room.

For a few minutes he waited outside, wondering what was taking Sam so long to
come out there so they could talk. Dean even pressed his ear to the glass door,
but there was absolutely no sound coming from within the room. Had Sam gone to
sleep? That was not possible. He couldn’t have forgotten their agreement.

Dean looked at the doorknob and his heart raced. It was probably the stupidest
thing he would be doing in his entire life, but he took a deep breath and let
his hand rest on top of it.

“Fuck it,” he cursed lightly and opened the door.

***** Chapter 34 *****
 

Chapter 34



Sam’s room was in absolute silence when Dean walked in. He looked around
quickly and didn’t see Sam’s bodyguard; he didn’t see anyone but Sam himself,
sound asleep in bed.

“What…?” Dean frowned and walked closer to the bed. Why on Earth would Sam have
fallen asleep without talking to him first? There was no way Sam had just
forgotten about their agreed meeting, especially not after the way their
conversation had gone down a few hours earlier.

With disbelief, Dean watched over the sleeping boy and poked his shoulder
lightly. “Sam…” he whispered. “Sammy?...” Dean shook him lightly at first, and
a bit more vehemently later, and yet, there was absolutely no response from the
boy in bed. Sam didn’t even stir when Dean cupped his face and stared into his
closed eyes.

There were about a dozen questions popping up in brain at the same time, but
before Dean could think any further he heard a sound behind him and turned
around to see Crowley coming in his direction.

“What the hell are you still doing here?!” Crowley sounded indignant, but still
managed to keep his voice down. He had gone to the bathroom and taken his time
there, knowing Sam couldn’t possibly wake up so soon. Seeing Dean inside the
Prince’s bedroom, though, pushed away all the hopes for a quiet night without
drama.

“What happened to him?” Dean went on as if Crowley wasn’t seething. “We agreed
to meet again in the balcony and he’s so deep asleep that I can’t seem to wake
him up.”

“Then perhaps you should take the hint and leave. Go now before anyone else
knows you’re here.”

“No…” Dean looked at the bed and at Sam’s face. There was no way Sam had just
fallen asleep so fast and so hard. Something had happened and he couldn’t just
leave him like that. “Why won’t he wake up?”

“Are you daft, kid?” Crowley widened his eyes and went closer to Dean until
they were face to face. “Leave now before things get ugly, I’m not warning you
again!”

“Aren’t you worried about him?” Dean’s heart was beating fast. “This is the boy
you’re paid to guard, and he’s lying unconscious in bed. Aren’t you afraid
something bad happened to him?”

Crowley gritted his teeth and swallowed hard. Against his will, he found
himself stealing a glance in Sam’s direction.

“Sam…” Dean turned to the boy again, “listen to me…” he sat on the edge of the
bed and cupped his cheek.

“Dean! Go away!” Crowley grabbed the young man by the arm and pulled him back
to his feet. “Now!”

Dean moved quickly and got rid of Crowley’s grip on his arm. He stared
fearlessly into the older man’s eyes and Dean’s eyes spoke volumes of his state
of mind. “Don’t touch me. I could fucking kill you if I wanted,” he threatened.

“That’s true,” Crowley admitted. “But it’s also true that I could have all the
security in the place on you in a heartbeat. And if you got hurt, or let’s say,
accidentally shot, who would really blame us? I mean, you are trespassing
private property in the middle of the night.”

Dean bit down hard on his anger and the two of them stared at each other in
tense silent for a moment.

“I could have them up here in less than a minute,” Crowley narrowed his eyes.

“You could, but you won’t,” Dean said, his voice calmer now.

“I won’t?” Crowley seemed genuinely curious.

“No. Because some part of you has got to be worried about him, too.” Dean
pointed in Sam’s direction. “Unless you have something to do with him being
like this…”

“Don’t be a fool,” Crowley protested quickly.

“So you can’t really expect me to believe that he just fell into a sleep that’s
more like a coma without any reason. Something happened to him, and I’m going
to find out what.”

“And just how do you expect to do that, eh? You saw it for yourself that
there’s no waking the prince up now.” Crowley realized he had toned down his
voice and softened his attitude a bit. No, he didn’t like Dean neither did he
like his dad, but on the other hand, he had never seen someone look at Sam and
talk about him with so much care and affection.

Dean thought about Crowley’s question, looked at the bed at Sam’s sleeping
frame once more, and made up his mind.

“I’m going to take him with me.”

“What?!” Crowley immediately looked around worriedly after he sounded louder
than he expected. He walked towards the door and closed it. “Come again?”

“Yeah, I’ll take Sam out of here so he’ll be safe until he can tell me what
happened.”

“Dean…” Crowley tried to reason with him, “nothing ‘happened’ to the Prince. He
is fine. He’ll wake up tomorrow as he always does.”

“So are you telling me that this happens often?” Dean wasn’t having any of
that. Something bad had been done to Sam, he could feel it, and until Sam
himself could explain it to him, Dean just couldn’t walk away and leave him
there.

“I’m telling you that he’s fine. You should go, really!”

“Thanks, but I’ll be the judge of that.” Dean walked towards the bed and pulled
the covers off Sam’s body. He shook him lightly again and tried to put him in a
sitting position, but Sam’s body was completely unresponsive. “Sammy?” Dean
parted his eyelids carefully and saw the dilated pupils that obviously couldn’t
see him. “I’m taking him out of here. My dad’s car is parked outside the
mansion. Sam’s sleeping with me tonight, then tomorrow, if he wants, he can
return home.”

“Oh really? How do you expect to walk out of here with the Prince and past
security?”

“With your help.”

Crowley fell silent. Dean’s eyes were intense and they wouldn’t look away.
There was so much resolution there that Crowley thought the young man might put
Sam over his shoulder and jump out of the balcony if he tried to stop him.

For a moment Crowley considered that lunacy. Azazel was definitely the boy’s
biggest problem, but Crowley knew that for the next forty eight hours the
vampire would be way too entertained in his bedroom with his mates to pay
attention to anything else. There were other employees, though, but they didn’t
have to see Sam at all if Crowley told them the boy didn’t want to leave his
room.

“Look at him and tell me this is okay.” Dean dared him.

Crowley swallowed hard and took a deep, silent breath. He stared at his feet
because he didn’t know what to say. He hated what happened to the kid in that
house, but he didn’t know how to change any of that.

“So, will you help me?” Dean pleaded with Crowley. He knew he had no chance of
taking Sam with him unless the boy’s warden decided to help.

Crowley seemed to ponder really hard. He closed his eyes and released a long-
held breath. “You do know that Samuel is fine, right? He’s just asleep,
tomorrow it’ll be as if nothing happened,” he tried one more time.

Dean didn’t say anything. His heart was beating fast and urging him to take Sam
away. It was true, the younger boy didn’t seem injured or anything, but the way
he was unresponsive after what happened between them earlier made Dean think
something had happened to him against his will, and if Dean added this strange
fact to the whole mystery surrounding the boy, he couldn’t walk away as if he
hadn’t seen anything. So, instead of arguing, Dean moved towards the bed and
started to pick Sam’s body up.

“Dean! Put him down.”

Dean didn’t seem to listen. He had no idea how he would manage to leave the
house, but he would try. If Azazel tried to stop him, Dean would deal with him
too. Somehow.

“Dean, put the Prince on the bed,” Crowley ordered again when Dean held the boy
in his arms, but there was nothing but fierce resolution in the young man’s
eyes. In that moment, Dean looked eerily similar to his dad, the town’s
mechanic.

Crowley sighed and picked up the phone in Sam’s room. He dialed quickly.

Dean watched with growing apprehension, feeling Sam’s light body and its
delicious warmth against his chest.

“Hey, it’s Crowley. Yeah, do me a favor and get everyone from security inside,
immediately.” Crowley stared at Dean as he said his next words. “Send everyone
to the kitchen, all the employees here tonight. I need to speak to them. Fine.”
Crowley hung up the phone.

“Did you just call security on me?” Dean felt trapped. He realized that it
didn’t matter what he felt like he should do, it might be impossible to take
Sam out of that mansion, or perhaps it might be considered attempted
kidnapping. Dean was certain that if he could, Azazel would gladly find a
motive to lock him up.

“Sam’s father is working in his room and he won’t be a problem. I just sent all
the household to the kitchen where I’ll speak to them. Wait here for a while
until you hear the door shutting downstairs,” Crowley instructed. “You can then
walk out of here with Samuel. You’ll have ten minutes or so. Be quick.”

Dean’s heart raced and he smiled when he looked at Sam’s sleeping face. The boy
couldn’t see how happy Dean felt, but it didn’t matter now.

“Thank you,” Dean said, and he carefully put Sam in bed again.

Crowley knew that Azazel had asked for two days, so asking Dean to bring Sam
back tomorrow was playing it safe in a terribly risky situation. He could
hardly understand why he was doing that anyway.

“The Prince must be home tomorrow. I know Azazel pulls all-nighters and
sometimes he stays locked up for over a day, but there’s no telling when he’ll
come out and ask for his son, so promise me he’ll be here before the sun sets
tomorrow.”

“He can come back whenever he wants, and if he wants.”

“Trust me, he will want. He has to. I’ll be waiting outside the gates, on Oak
street at around the time his classes usually end. This way I can smuggle him
back inside.” The other employees didn’t know how strict Azazel was when it
came to leaving the house for his classes, so they wouldn’t find it strange if
Crowley drove the limo at any given time of the day pretending to take the
prince somewhere.

“Can you set aside some of his clothes, put them in a backpack or something? I
assume he won’t like to walk around in a robe when he’s up. My clothes might
not fit or call attention.”

“Yes.” Crowley quickly put some of Sam’s clothes in the backpack he used when
he went to class and let it fall beside Dean’s feet.

“Thank you, Crowley, I really…”

“Listen, Dean…” Crowley cut him off. “If you touch this boy…” he narrowed his
eyes and his meaning was not lost on Dean.

“What am I? A sick pervert? He’s unconscious, Crowley,” Dean sounded indignant.

And as outlandish as it sounded in his brain, Crowley knew he could trust John
Winchester’s son. Dean cared way too much about the boy, he wouldn’t do
anything to hurt him. Besides, Sam trusted Dean, and even though the Prince was
naive, he was also a very clever boy.

“Good.”

“But if he wakes up then whatever we do is up to him,” Dean added.

Crowley thought about saying something, but he heard the movement downstairs of
people walking into the place and gave up.

“Ten minutes after I slam the door shut,” he mouthed.

“I got it.”

“Oh, and I almost forgot. Here…” Crowley quickly looked for a piece of paper
and a pencil among Sam’s school gear.

“What’s this?” Dean looked at the piece of paper that Crowley pushed against
his hand.

“The password that opens the gate. You’ll need it to get out.”

Before Dean could thank him again, he watched as Crowley turned around and
left, leaving him alone with the unconscious boy.


~ * ~


In the kitchen, all of the house employees gathered to listen to Crowley. Sam’s
most trusted keeper knew that the security guards who stayed at the gates—there
were two of them—were anxious and unwilling to be there. They looked troubled
knowing they had abandoned their positions, but everyone who worked there knew
that in Azazel’s absence they should follow Crowley’s ruling, so no one
questioned his command.

Crowley shut the door audibly when everyone got in, and stalled for as long as
he could so Dean could walk out of there with Sam. He didn’t even like to think
of what might happen if Azazel decided to leave his bedroom and caught the
mechanic’s son leaving with his boy. Just the thought of it sent a shiver down
Crowley’s spine, and if this happened then Dean would be on his own, there was
no way Crowley was sticking his neck out for him.

“Is there a problem?” one of the guards asked.

“No, not really. I just called you all here because I meant to give the
information to all of you at the same time.” Crowley paused and looked at the
pairs of eyes focused on him, the maids, the cook, the guards, everyone paid
him full attention. “The master told me he will be busy for the next two days
and stressed the importance of being left alone.”

There was no need to call a special gathering to say that, but Crowley knew it
sounded reasonable enough. Everyone working in there, though most did not know
of Azazel’s true nature, had the common sense to fear the yellow-eyed owner of
the house, and it wasn’t unlikely that he would have the weirdest of requests.

“The Prince has also asked me to be left alone in his room. I’ll be taking his
meals upstairs tomorrow. Neither father nor son is to be disturbed unless
something really urgent calls for it, and then I should be notified first.”

As Crowley went on about the employee’s conduct regarding the next couple of
days, trying to drag his speech for as long as he could, he tried to imagine
whether or not Dean had already managed to leave.

When at last he could hold them back no longer, someone opened the kitchen door
and there was no one outside. When Crowley went up to the prince’s room, Samuel
was no longer lying in bed and Dean was nowhere to be seen.

Crowley sighed with relief, but the tension was still stiffening his muscles.
He knew that would be a sleepless night worrying whether Azazel might leave his
room.

Again, Crowley questioned himself on his motives for doing something so stupid.
In the end, he had to admit that he didn’t like what the boy was put through,
and he didn’t think he could do anything to change that and help him. Dean, on
the other hand, and his obsessive dad and the unusual priest, they might
actually be able to do something about that.


~ * ~


The moment he heard the kitchen door shutting, Dean slipped an arm between the
mattress and Sam’s knees, and the other between the mattress and the boy’s
neck. He lifted Sam gently and held him in his arms against his chest. He hoped
Sam would talk when he woke up, but right now there were more pressing matters
to worry about.

With Sam’s backpack strapped to his back, Dean left the room and went down the
stairs carrying Sam’s sleeping frame. The house was indeed empty and quiet,
except for the small murmur coming from the kitchen. Dean had no idea what
Azazel was doing and why, but he was glad he wouldn’t be a problem.

Dean opened the front door and crossed the garden under the moonlight, and not
once did Sam’s eyes open. As Crowley planned, there was no one at the gates,
and after punching in the code Crowley had given him, Dean was walking out of
Azazel’s house with his precious angel in his arms, under the yellow-eyed man’s
very nose.

The Impala wasn’t parked very far. Dean moved fast, but not so fast because he
worried about Sam and making him comfortable. Even though the boy didn’t so
much as stir in his arms, Dean didn’t want to bump into anything or that Sam
woke up suddenly startled and scared.

He opened the car and laid Sam carefully on the backseat. He took a small
moment to look at Sam’s beautiful features as he slept deeply, as if the had
not a worry in this world, but Dean told himself he needed to move. If anyone
tried to come after him now, Dean wanted to be safe and sound in his home.

The drive was a short one, and when he got near the beach, Dean took Sam in his
arms again and walked the way up to his door. He managed to unlock the front
door with the kid in his arms and let themselves in. Dean locked the door again
before he walked towards the bed and laid Sam on it.

Dean was strong, but by now the muscles in his arms were screaming of
exhaustion. He didn’t regret a thing, though. He had told Sam he loved him, and
Sam loved him back, and then something had happened that had taken Sam’s
consciousness away. That kind of sleep was not natural; it didn’t matter what
Crowley said, and in the end, if Crowley was so certain that nothing had
happened to the Prince, Dean doubted he would have helped.

“Who did this to you, hm?” Dean brushed a lock of brown hair off Sam’s forehead
and let the back of his hand run down his cheek, chin and neck. “You have got
to start trusting me, Sam. I can help you, I know I can…” Dean whispered
vehemently, even though the boy lying next to him was clearly oblivious.

Dean did some talking and tried to softly shake Sam awake a couple of times,
but when nothing worked he gave up and settled for studying the boy sharing his
bed.

So many people had shared a bed with him, and yet, even though he hadn’t bedded
the boy with him now, Dean felt closer to him than he had ever felt to anyone.
The feeling was gripping and powerful, and a little scary too, but Dean felt as
if he had known Sam all his life, as if their connection was way too deep.

“Is this what being a love fool feels like?” he chuckled softly. “Then be it,
right Sammy? ‘Cause I can’t stop feeling this way…” Dean let his fingertips
brush Sam’s lips softly. “In fact, I think I fall harder every time I look at
you.”

Sam’s chest moved peacefully up and down. His breathing was serene, and no
other part of his body moved. Lying there beside Dean, Sam was completely
vulnerable and yet, absolutely protected.

“What am I going to do about you, hm? About us?”

Dean looked at Sam for a long time, his eyes adoringly lost. He took Sam’s
knuckles to his lips and kissed them, and when he eventually grew sleepy and
tired, Dean stripped down to his underwear and pulled a blanket over them.

“Night, Sammy.” Dean leaned over and kissed him lightly.

He realized then that for the first time he would get to sleep with Sam.

Not what he had in mind when they first met, Dean thought. And then, with
amusement, he also realized that it was a first for him—sleeping beside
somebody without having previously pounded the living daylights out of them.
Indeed, it was something new, but as he closed his eyes and put an arm around
Sam’s torso, Dean Winchester understood he had been waiting all his life for
what he felt right now, for the feeling that he finally knew where he belonged.

***** Chapter 35 *****
 
Chapter 35



Sam stirred softly and his eyelids fluttered. He took a deep breath and felt
awareness spread inside of him lazily but unstoppably. He turned around in bed
and pressed his head against the pillow, inhaling deeply the sweet scent he
found in there. Sam smiled and his heart beat a little faster. He had been
dreaming of Dean, and he didn’t really want to wake up.

Sam kept his eyes shut for a few more minutes before the urge to move grew and
he blinked a few times.

“Morning, Sammy.”

Sam’s heart slammed against his chest and his eyes were immediately wide open.
Could he still be dreaming? That was not possible; he was awake, he could tell
that, he could feel that…

Dean watched as the boy looked around worriedly, from the bed to the room
around him, while his face was all shock and confusion.

“Am I…?” Sam couldn’t believe his eyes. He looked at Dean again with a
befuddled expression.

“In my home, yeah,” Dean said. He couldn’t help smiling. Sam was awake and he
seemed fine, and he looked absolutely cute with his hair all messy and his eyes
all lost.

Sam looked at the bed and the sheets covering them. Dean and he were sharing a
bed, and underneath his robe Sam was almost naked. Suddenly, the scenes from
his dream hit him and he felt breathless and lightheaded.

“Oh my God, did we…” Sam’s breath became labored. In his dream, Dean had taken
him to his place, undressed him, and then made love to him all night. Had it
not been a dream then? “Did we…” What if they had just had sex? What would Sam
do? How would he explain it? He was so torn between happiness and fear he
didn’t know what to do. “Dean, did we…?” he asked again, his eyes pleading into
Dean’s.

“Did we what? Have sex?”

“Yes.” Sam looked frightened.

Dean’s smile faded and he got to his feet. His face changed into something hurt
when he spoke again.

“You were sleeping. What kind of sick pervert would take advantage of an
unconscious person?”

‘My dad’, Sam thought quickly but didn’t say anything. He watched from his
sitting position as Dean stood in front of him, by the end of the bed.

“Then what happened?”

“You were passed out. So no, I did not rape you or anything.” Dean couldn’t
help how he felt. “I thought you knew me by now…”

“I…I’m sorry, I didn’t mean…” Sam shook his head. Damn it, why was it so hard
to focus? Everything was weird and Sam had no idea what was going on. The more
he tried to think hard, the worse his head felt. “I was unconscious, you said?”
he frowned.

“Yeah. You don’t remember?” Dean walked closer and sat on the bed.

“Not really, no. And I know you wouldn’t, I just thought…” Sam thought of his
dream and fell shut. He blushed a dark shade of crimson and looked at the
sheets, his face afire.

Dean frowned again, more curious and less angry now. “Just thought what?”

Sam swallowed hard. He looked into Dean’s eyes briefly before looking away.

“I sometimes have these dreams…” he said in a sheepish voice. When Dean didn’t
say anything, Sam went on, albeit reluctantly. “I…dream about us, you know.”
Sam could almost see the color in his cheeks. “So when I woke up in your bed I
just thought…it hadn’t been a dream at all…”

Dean’s mood shifted immediately. He smiled leeringly and got closer to Sam.
“You said you dream about us?” his voice dropped a little.

“Sometimes, yes,” Sam agreed.

“And what do you dream about? What wereyou dreaming about?” Dean licked his
lips unconsciously, and Sam’s breath shortened.

“I…” Dean’s eyes focused on him made Sam feel hotter, and not just on his face.
“I dreamed that you were…you know…”

“No, I don’t. Tell me…” Dean’s eyes glowed seductively.

“I dreamed you were taking me. We were having sex in my dream, so when I woke
up here I thought it’d been real. I didn’t mean you had taken advantage,” Sam
explained.

“That’s okay.” Dean smiled and touched Sam’s face lightly.

Sam relaxed when Dean leaned in to kiss his lips softly, but his thoughts were
quickly worried again.

“Dean, what am I doing here?”

“I kidnapped you.”

Sam didn’t look amused; he looked distressed.

“I have to go back. If my dad knows I’m not in my room…” Sam cringed at the
thought. He had no idea how Dean had managed to leave the house with him, but
right now Sam knew he had to go back as soon as possible before the damage was
too great.

“Relax, it’s okay…” Dean tried.

“No, it’s not. You don’t understand…” Sam got up quickly, way too quickly.

The moment the younger boy was on his feet, his dehydrated condition made him
feel dizzy and weak. There wasn’t enough blood in his veins to feed oxygen to
his brain, so Sam didn’t go further before darkness crept around the corners of
his sight and he lost his balance.

“Sam?” Dean got off the bed quickly.

Sam heard him but couldn’t do anything. He felt his hands growing cold and
numb, his body falling and his mind shutting down, and then he didn’t know what
happened.

Dean rushed towards Sam but not before the boy fell with a thud on the floor.
With his heart racing and his thoughts running wild, Dean knelt over Sam’s body
and shook him lightly.

“Sam? Sammy? C’mon, look at me.”

When Sam fell, his robe exposed his chest and great part of his thighs. In the
process of shaking Sam’s body to try and bring him to, Dean’s eyes wandered and
focused on the many tiny red marks on the boy’s body.

“What the hell…” Dean frowned. He opened Sam’s robe a little more and realized
the marks were everywhere, and now that he saw Sam so closely in the daylight,
Dean realized they had been there on his neck, too. He was still puzzled when
Sam moved in his arms and let out a feeble moan. “Hey…you okay?”

Sam felt his head throbbing. He had not expected the weakness that took over
him when he tried to move. He tried to adopt a sitting position and he could
feel Dean’s arms around him trying to help. Sam blinked a few times but his
sight was still nothing but darkness. His head ached and there was a bitter
taste in his mouth. Sam felt confused and weak, but he had an idea of what was
going on with him, because he had felt that way before.

“What can I do for you?”

When Sam’s vision cleared and he saw Dean hovering before him, he took a deep
breath and licked at his dry lips.

“Can you get me some water, please?”

“Yeah, of course. Just, just stay there, don’t try to get up.”

Sam watched as Dean went to the fridge to get him what he asked. The signs were
familiar; Sam knew he was dehydrated, and that could only mean his dad had
drunk way too much blood the previous night. Sam closed his eyes and tried to
remember the events that led up to him being in Dean’s place, but everything
was blank.

“Thanks,” he said when Dean offered him the glass of water. While he drank, Sam
realized Dean was looking at the red dots on his arms and probably everywhere
in his body; ‘Why are there so many?’ Sam tugged at the robe as if he could
cover himself up. He had no idea what was going on, but he did feel the urgent
need to pee. “Can I use the bathroom?”

“Yeah, sure.” Dean took the glass and helped Sam to his feet. “Can you do this
alone? Are you gonna pass out on me again?” he asked, worriedly.

“No, I’m fine.” Sam didn’t know how much he meant it; his body felt weird. His
stomach was upset and his head was clouded, but right now he just wanted to
relieve his bladder.

Dean watched as Sam got into the bathroom and closed the door. He put the glass
away and then stood by the door in case Sam needed help.

Inside, Sam relieved himself and stood still for a moment. He took his hand to
his stomach and frowned, and then the first memory returned.

Drink this.
Dad, I don’t want to.
Just drink this, Samuel.

Sam remembered the glass being pushed into his hand and the stern, demanding
look in his dad’s eyes. Suddenly, Sam bent over and went down on his knees, and
all the water he had drunk a few minutes ago left him again as he emptied his
stomach in the toilet.

“Sam, are you alright?” Dean heard the sound of retching and pressed his ear to
the door.

“I’m fine!” Sam took a deep, calming breath and flushed the toilet. He sat for
a moment as his head swirled and his stomach cramped. All his body stung and
throbbed, and he supposed the red dots were responsible for that.

“Do you need help?”

“I’m okay. I’ll come out.” Sam closed his eyes and summoned his strength in
order to get back on his feet. He walked towards the sink where he washed his
mouth and splashed some cold water on his face. When he looked in the mirror
and at himself staring back, his head hurt and the images got blurred.

He’s so delicious…you’re so lucky…
Let’s turn him around…

There were flashes of faces hovering above him, and the sound of giggle
somewhere in the back of his mind. Sam braced himself against the sink and
tried to remember but everything was blurred and it hurt when he tried.

Sam pulled up his sleeves and looked at his arms. He checked his neck in the
mirror and shuddered at the marks. Sam knew exactly what they were, but he
didn’t really understand what they meant. Surely his dad couldn’t have made all
those marks himself?

There were other faces too, men and women, and they stared hungrily at him, and
they…

“No…” Sam whispered as he shook his head vehemently. He opened the bathroom
door before he could have any more flashbacks, and the moment he did it Dean
was right there, standing right in front of him.

They looked intently into each other’s eyes, and Sam felt a tremor rake him
under Dean’s searching look.

“What happened last night?” Dean asked sharply even though his voice sounded
gentle.

Sam breathed quickly and swallowed hard. His bit down on his quivery bottom lip
before he could find his voice.

“I don’t know.” Sam’s eyes were wide with fear and confusion, and Dean could
see it in his face, and he knew that Sam’s confusion was sincere.

“C’mon, let’s lie down again. You need to drink some more water, right?”

“Thanks, Dean, I really appreciate it, but I have to go, if my dad realizes I’m
not…”

“Relax,” Dean interrupted him. “Crowley knows you’re here.”

“He does?” Sam looked surprised.

“He helped me smuggle you out of the house.”

Sam looked perplexed now. Why would Crowley do something like that?

“He did?”

“How else would I have carried your unconscious body past security?”

“But how about my father, he didn’t…?”

“I don’t know,” Dean said. “Crowley said something about him being busy in his
office for the entire day. He let me take you out but you must be back before
the sunset. He made me promise to take you back.”

Sam relaxed a little. His dad did have moments when he locked himself up in his
office and wouldn’t come out for two, maybe even three days. He usually had a
few friends over when this happened…

There was the sound of female giggling.

Sam shook his head and blinked a few times.

“Oh, okay…”

“But you don’t have to go back.”

“What?” Sam frowned.

“Sam…” Dean’s heart was beating fast. There was so much he wanted to say, so
much he yearned to know. What could he do to help Sam? “You don’t have to go
back if you don’t want to. I could help you, you know.”

“Help me?” Sam chuckled feebly. “Why, why would I need help? And why wouldn’t I
want to go home…?” Sam wanted to be strong but his head was filled with blurry
thoughts and his body was not responding very well to his commands. “I…” Sam
trailed off and his hand touched his stomach again. He took a deep breath and
felt his fingers grow cold and numb.‘Oh, god, I’ll pass out again’, he thought
desperately. Just how much had his dad fed last night? And why couldn’t he
remember anything about it?

“Sam, take it easy…here, go to bed.”

Sam accepted the help because he wasn’t strong enough not to. He let Dean lead
him back to the bed and sat down on it, then he took the glass of water Dean
offered him again and drank, in small sips this time.

Dean took a deep breath as he waited for Sam to finish his water. The boy
looked pale and obviously weak. There was no way Dean would let this go.

“Last night, you were supposed to meet me again, do you remember that?”

Sam thought for a moment and nodded. He remembered, right. Dean had shown up in
the middle of the night. Oh God, he had said he loved him, and then Sam…

Sam’s heart beat faster as he recalled the previous events. Of course he
remembered that, and now his heart raced at the memory.

“I waited for you, but you never came back.”

Sam was pulled out of his good thoughts as he considered what Dean said.

“I was going to have dinner…” he murmured.

“Yes, you were going to have dinner but then you never came back. I was going
to leave but something came over me and I just had to see you.” Dean paused. He
nestled in bed, close to the boy staring at the sheets with bewilderment. “I
found you unconscious and brought you here.”

Sam squeezed his eyes shut. There was a glass, and there was his father sitting
on his bed, and Sam felt scared, he didn’t want to, he didn’t…

“Sam…” Dean’s voice was serious and his hands found Sam’s on the bed. “Were you
drugged?”

Sam’s heart slammed against his chest and his pupils dilated. He was having
dinner and then he just….everything went black…

“I…I guess so.”

Sam’s eyes held so much fear and insecurity that Dean just wanted to pull him
against his chest and tell him it would be alright, but right now he needed
answers.

“Who did that to you?”

Dad.

Sam didn’t say anything. He was silent and his pulse was racing. He didn’t want
to say anything. If he told Dean that his own dad had made him drink from some
water that probably contained some kind of drug that put him to sleep, then
what kind of father would Dean judge Azazel to be? Sam didn’t want Dean to
think his dad was a monster, because he wasn’t, his dad loved him and protected
him and…

“Sammy… Even Crowley was scared, okay? He might not admit it, but he must have
been pretty scared in order to let me leave with you. So something happened
last night and I need you to be honest with me.”

“Dean, why do we need to go over it? I’m here, aren’t I? And I’m fine. I just
need to drink some water and rest and it’ll be okay.”

Dean studied Sam intently.

“This wasn’t the first time something like this happened, was it?” his heart
raced because something told him there was a terrible secret lying just beneath
the surface, a secret that would explain why Sam was so afraid.

Sam’s eyes strayed and he tried to avoid the subject.

“These marks! How can I pretend I don’t see them, how can you?” Dean took Sam’s
wrist and they looked at each other. The burning around Sam’s wrist was fading,
but it was still visible. Both their eyes were wide and intense, and the two
boys couldn’t look away from the meaningful staring. Sam was shaking a little,
and Dean’s breath was labored. “They mean something, don’t they? What happened
to you? Who drugged you?”

“Dean, I can’t tell you about it, I don’t even know what happened. Besides, why
do you care? I’m fine, it’s over now, I’m…”

“I love you, that’s why. I won’t let go because I’m in love with you and
because I’m scared, too. So you need to trust me, Sammy, please…”

Sam felt shaky inside. He pulled his wrist from Dean’s grip. He was all covered
in bite marks and he didn’t know why, but he felt ashamed and broken in a way
he couldn’t explain. But how could he tell Dean what happened between his dad
and he? Dean would hate his dad, Dean wouldn’t understand…

“I’m here for you, I promise.” Dean leaned closer and kissed Sam softly. He
could feel wetness against his skin.

Sam licked at his lips and wiped quickly at his tears.

“I can’t…”

“Yes, you can.”

Sam looked into Dean’s eyes and the older man could see the battle the boy was
fighting inside.

“Let me help…please, Sammy…let me help…”

Sam looked at his wrist and the weird rash around the skin, as if he had
struggled against bindings, as if someone had tied him down…

Sam covered his face with his hands. He couldn’t do that anymore, he was
breaking and he felt it.

“You have to promise…” Sam whispered and a sob left his lips.

“Promise what?”

“If I tell you anything, you’ve got to promise me you won’t tell anyone about
it.”

Dean looked at Sam. There was a visible change in him. The sadness quickly gave
room to something fierce.

“Promise, Dean!”

“I…I do.”

“No, you have to mean it,” Sam was shaking, but he had to make sure Dean
understood. “You have to promise me that I can trust you.”

“Of course you can trust me.”

“If I tell you something, you have to swear you won’t tell anyone, not your
friends, not Bobby, not your father.”

Dean frowned. Sam’s hands were closed around Dean’s arms and the boy’s hazel
eyes were wide and piercing.

“Sam, I promise. I do.”

“You’ve got to swear.”

Dean’s heart raced with anxiety. Whatever it was that Sam felt so intensely
now, it was scary and real.

“I swear. You can trust me.”

Sam loosened his grip and nodded slowly. Dean waited, but Sam didn’t say
anything for a while or so.

“Sam…” Dean’s voice was low and soft, almost like a caress. His hand rested on
top of Sam’s knee gently. “Who drugged you?”

“He’s not a monster.” Sam’s eyes welled up with more tears.

Dean’s heart fell. Suddenly, he realized he already knew the answer, and his
chest felt tight. He let his fingers tangle in Sam’s hair and stroke.

“Who drugged you?” Dean repeated, soft and yet firmly.

Sam looked at the sheets for a while, but then the tears came again and he
didn’t see anything.

“He loves me.”

“Sam…who drugged you?”

“My daddy, did.”

***** Chapter 36 *****
 

Chapter 36



They stayed in bed like that for a while, unmoving. Dean stroked Sam’s hair and
waited as a battle seemed to go on inside the boy’s head.

Sam was trembling and his eyes strayed. He felt weak and confused, and all he
wanted was to close his eyes and pretend he could be with Dean like that, for
as long as he wanted.

“Sam…” Dean insisted in a whispered and gentle voice. “Talk to me.”

The boy stared at his hands and at the sheets covering him. He pulled the robe
tightly against his body and shrank away from Dean’s touching.

“He’s not a monster. You’ve got to understand that. He loves me.”

Through Dean’s head, his father’s words kept moving at rapid speed. Something
was seriously wrong with the yellow-eyed doctor they had in town; his dad had
been right all along. Dean had never cared too much about it, but whatever was
wrong with Azazel was affecting Sam, and Dean would be damned if he would turn
a blind eye to it.

“You can tell me.”

“You said you loved me, you did, right?” Sam’s eyes were huge and pleading.
“Did you mean that?”

“Of course I did.”

“You swore you won’t tell anyone. You promised, right?”

“I did,” Dean reassured him at the same time his own tension grew.

Sam took a moment as his thoughts rushed wildly through his mind. He was almost
afraid to close his eyes and have another flash back from the previous night.

“I don’t know what happened last night. I really don’t. I don’t know how I got
these marks.”

“I’ve seen those marks on you before. Let me guess, they are not mosquito
bites?” Dean asked softly.

Sam shook his head.

“You don’t know what happened last night,” Dean said,”but something like this
has happened before, am I right? There’s something going on at home that you
haven’t told me.”

Sam nodded. His fingers squeezed the sheets until his knuckles turned white.
His lips parted and closed, and Dean reached across the sheets and covered
Sam’s fingers with his own. Dean squeezed Sam’s hand and waited.

“My dad…” Sam looked around worriedly. His heart was racing. “He isn’t like
other people. And it’s not just his eyes. My dad’s different.”

“Different how?”

“He needs blood to live.”

Dean frowned. “We all do.”

“No,” Sam shook his head. “He needs it as food.” Sam swallowed down hard and
took a deep breath. “My dad drinks blood, Dean.”

It was Dean’s turn to fall silent for a moment. When Sam didn’t go on, Dean
shrugged off his clouded thoughts and chuckled nervously.

“You’re kidding, right?”

“No.”

Dean’s eyebrows were drawn close with disbelief and shock. “Sam, are you making
this up? Because it’s not funny, I mean…”

“I’m not. I’m telling you the truth,” Sam said.

Dean’s eyes were focused and he blinked a few times. Sam’s face was absolutely
serious, and when the realization started to sink in, Dean’s heart dropped.

“He drinks blood? Like a…like…a vampire? Your dad is a vampire?”

Sam cringed at the word. He looked around worriedly, but there was no one in
there that could listen to them.

“I…I don’t know. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. He has a medical
condition, Dean, he can’t help it.”

“If he drinks blood then that means he’s a killer. Sam, you’re dad is a killer,
he kills things for blood, he…”

“He drinks from the hospital blood supply,” Sam said quickly. “He doesn’t kill
anyone.”

“Are you sure? I mean, how can you be sure, if he’s a vampire then he probably
needs fresh blood and oh God, what the hell am I even saying, vampires don’t
exist!” Dean laughed nervously. He tried to wrap his mind around it, but it was
really hard. Yet, the way Sam looked right now, that forced Dean to hold on to
his spinning thoughts.

“Dean…”

“Sam, if that’s real then your dad’s dangerous.”

“He’s not! My dad doesn’t kill people, Dean. I know he drinks from animals
sometimes but he’s not a murderer.”

“Are you sure?”

Sam wasn’t, not one hundred per cent, but he wanted to be, needed to be.

“He drinks from blood bags, I know that. And the eventual cow, or rabbit or…”

Oh, God, Dean shuddered when he connected the dots.

“…or you,” Dean said, matter-of-factly. His blood buzzed in his ears with the
realization.

“Yes,” Sam confessed. He lowered his eyes and squeezed his lips shut for a
moment. “He’s been drinking from me since I was 10. The marks you’ve seen
before? They’re fangs, not mosquito bites.”

“Sam…”

“Wait, let me go on,” Sam said. Because if he didn’t say everything now he
might never have the courage to go on again. “He doesn’t do it every night.
Sometimes it’ll be days, or even an entire week without him showing up in my
room. When he feeds off me he doesn’t usually drink too much. If he does,
though, then I’ll probably pass out or fall asleep because I’m weak or
dehydrated. I’m always better the next day though.” Sam could see the way Dean
was looking at him as if he tried really hard to understand it all. “It doesn’t
really hurt, you know. The first time the fangs go in can hurt a little, but
there’s something in their saliva that kind of numbs the area.”

“Their?” Dean picked up on the word quickly. “Are there others like your
father?”

Sam nodded.

Dean fought the urge to lose his mind. That was too much. He wanted to ask a
thousand questions; he wanted to march out of his house and tell his dad about
it, and then he wanted to kidnap Sam so he wouldn’t ever have to go back to his
blood sucking father. Yet, despite the anger and shock twisting inside of him,
Dean did everything he could to remain calm. He knew Sam was opening up for
what was probably the first time in his life. And if that was the first time
Sam was confiding in someone, then Dean needed to listen, not freak out.

“Do these other vampires drink from you, too?” Dean’s voice sounded hoarse
because he tried really hard to keep it under control when his blood was
boiling beneath his skin.

Sam thought about the German man in a suit. He thought about the confusing
flashes he had from the previous night. He felt ashamed and shy, but he nodded.

“Not often…” his answer was a whisper. “Dad doesn’t like to share me.”

Dean frowned. Why did Sam speak like that? Like he had resigned to being his
dad’s food supply? Why didn’t he fight it; why didn’t he try to end this
ridiculous abuse?

“I know what you’re thinking,” Sam said as Dean grew silent and increasingly
distraught. “My dad isn’t evil, Dean. He’s raised me on his own since I was a
baby. I’ve always had everything I needed. He gave me food, clothes, all the
toys in this world…he’s kept me safe.”

“Safe enough so he could sink his teeth into you whenever he felt like it?”

“You don’t understand…” Sam shook his head and made as if he would get up.

“Wait…” Dean closed his fingers around Sam’s wrist. He could tell his words had
upset Sam, and he didn’t want to push. The last thing he wanted now was to
drive Sam away with his opinion on what happened in his life. For Dean it was
pretty obvious that Sam was being taken advantage of, but Dean was soon
realizing that Sam didn’t see things that way. “I’m sorry. I’m just shocked. I
never imagined…”

Sam relaxed and sat back on the bed. He could only imagine how hard it was for
someone else to understand what happened to him.

“It’s okay. I never told anyone. I know it’s a lot.”

Dean’s brain was working fast with the information. He looked back on their
every encounter and thought carefully about Sam’s unusual behavior.

“Sam…is that…is that why you keep telling me that nothing can happen between
us?” Dean asked softly and watched for Sam’s reaction. During all the time they
had known each other, Dean had always wondered what was behind Sam’s mysterious
attitude and evasive words. Now that Dean was aware of his secret, he couldn’t
help but think the blood drinking was extremely connected to the way the boy
reacted to their intimacy.

Sam stiffened but didn’t look away. He nodded.

“How so? I don’t get it… I mean, I know this blood thing is quite a secret that
weighs on you, but why can’t we be together?”

“My dad can taste my blood. He says it tastes better because I’m a virgin, and
that if I do anything I’ll be corrupting my blood lineage.”

Dean didn’t move or say anything. He blinked and stared at Sam as the
revelation settled within him.

“So if we do it, if we have sex…” Dean began.

“Then he’ll know the next time he feeds. He’ll know I’m not a virgin anymore.”

“Is that why you eat all those healthy things? I mean, does he control your
diet too?”

“Yes…and no. I mean, he does tell me to watch what I eat, but eating healthy is
good for my body, not just for the blood.”

“Yeah, but does he give you the choice?”

Sam seemed to shrink in response.

Dean sighed deeply and considered what he knew now and the things Sam had told
him before.

“What about touching yourself? You told me you don’t do it; you told me you
couldn’t do it… It’s also about the blood, isn’t it?”

Sam nodded.

“I don’t get it,” Dean felt sad and angry and frustrated. “Why can’t you touch
yourself, it’s not like it’s the same as sex.”

“It’s about the hormones,” Sam explained. “I don’t know exactly how it happens,
but whatever condition my dad has enhances all of his senses. He can taste
hormones in my blood. If I touch myself, if I have…release,” Sam tried not to
blush. “he will taste testosterone in my blood and he will know.”

Dean thought of all the times he tried to give him Sam pleasure and the way the
boy resisted him. It made terrible sense.

“So when you told me you can’t do anything it’s not because you can’t, it’s
because he will know if you have an orgasm.”

“Yes,” Sam admitted.

“And what is the problem with that? I mean, didn’t you come when I touched you
in the elevator, in your birthday party?”

“I did, but apparently my oxytocin levels were extremely high that night, so
much that when he fed he didn’t taste the release in my blood.”

“Your oxywhat?” Dean looked confused.

Sam chuckled softly. “It’s a different hormone. Bobby told me that oxytocin
levels are pretty high when someone falls in love.” Only after he said it did
Sam realize the implications. He looked away and felt his cheeks afire.

For a moment, Dean forgot his anger and his outrage and just basked in the
deliciously warm feeling of knowing how much their first encounter had affected
his beautiful angel.

“You fell for me that night, eh?” He teased playfully, his face lit with charm.

“Shut up!” Sam blushed further and his laughter got muffled against Dean’s lips
when they kissed.

Sam’s eyes were still closed when the kiss broke, and he opened them slowly to
find Dean serious again.

“You said you loved me,” Dean said.

“I did. I do.”

“Then why can’t your oxywhatever levels be high again so your dad won’t know?”

Sam sighed. “I don’t really know how hormones work,” he shrugged. “But I know
we can’t control them. Just because I want my oxytocin to be high it doesn’t
mean it will be. Besides, if I fear my dad will catch me then it’s unlikely
this love hormone will be high enough to mask the taste of testosterone.”

Dean thought about the meaning of what Sam hadn’t really said.

“If he catches you…” Dean pointed out. “What would happen if we had sex? If he
tasted your blood and realized you were not a virgin anymore?”

Dean watched the quick transformation that happened in Sam right before his
eyes. The boy now looked wary and uneasy, and Dean could tell he was afraid.

“What would he do?” Dean insisted.

“I…I don’t know.” Sam tried not to sound as scared as he felt.

Dean narrowed his eyes as if he was searching Sam for an honest answer.

“Sam?”

“I don’t know what he would do,” the boy blurted.

“But you’re afraid, aren’t you?”

Sam thought for a moment, he felt somewhat desperate under the pressure.

“He’s my dad, Dean.”

“That is not an answer.”

“He wouldn’t like it, I’m sure. He’d be angry.” Sam looked around quickly, as
if looking for a way out of those questions. “Can I have more water?”

Dean parted his lips but closed them. He studied Sam a moment longer before
nodding. “Sure.”

The younger boy watched as Dean got up and came back with a full glass of water
that Sam drank gladly.

“How do you feel?”

“I’m getting better,” Sam said.

It was a lot to take in. It was too much. And yet, Sam had grown up with that.
And Sam knew very little of the world. Dean couldn’t begin to imagine how much
Sam’s dad had screwed with his brain.

“I thought you had some kind of religious reason not to touch yourself.”

“I didn’t say it was that. I said it was like that,” Sam defended himself.
Technically, he hadn’t lied.

“I know… I just never thought…”

“There was no way you could know. No one knows. Bobby doesn’t know.”

‘My dad has an idea’, Dean thought, but didn’t say anything.

“So you really can’t masturbate? Not ever?”

Sam felt shy again. He shook his head slowly.

“How can you do it? Or how can you not do it? I mean, don’t you get hard
sometimes? Don’t you feel all hot and bothered? I can tell you have a normal
libido, I mean, I feel how hot I can make you when I touch you.”

Sam’s breathing grew a little uneven.

“I do. I feel…I feel the need to do it, sometimes. I just can’t. I go swimming
instead, or do something else that takes my mind off of it.”

“Forgive me, but not once? Not ever? It seems impossible.”

“I have dreams, sometimes. I dream about something hot and when I wake up I
find out that I had release.”

“You have wet dreams.”

“With a certain frequency,” Sam admitted. 'More so since I met you', Sam
thought but didn’t voice it.

“So what? Does your dad get angry, too?”

“Of course not. He knows I can’t control the dreams.”

“So he doesn’t drink from you when it happens?”

“He doesn’t.”

“Why don’t you take the chance to jerk off then? It’s not like he’ll find out.”

Sam sighed. It was all new to Dean, but Sam had known the drill for a long
time.

“It’s not so simple. When I have one of those dreams he won’t let me out of
someone’s sight. I can’t go out of the house.”

“He’ll have people watch you?”

Sam nodded.

“Like Crowley?” Dean asked again, as if he was putting together pieces of a
puzzle.

“Yeah, like Crowley, mostly.”

Dean thought about it for a moment and the more he thought about things, the
heavier his chest felt with worry.

“Crowley sleeps in your room every night, doesn’t he?”

“Almost. He has some nights off, but then someone else will take over.”

“It’s not just to protect you, is it?” ‘Oh, God…’ Dean hated the thought that
occurred to him now.

“No,” Sam admitted.

“Are they there to make sure you don’t touch yourself?”

“They remind me not to break the rules.”

“In other words, they spy on you. All the time?”

“All the time,” Sam agreed.

“When you eat, when you sleep, when you shower?” Dean felt sick.

“The only time I’m alone is when I’m with Bobby. Or with you.”

Dean’s fist closed tightly and he forced himself to take a breath and relax.

“It doesn’t make any sense. It’s bad enough that he drinks your blood, forces
you to be a virgin and that he lies to you about painful sex, but the fact that
he won’t let you find release every now and then…that’s just cruel.”

“He says that I shouldn’t have the habit. That if I do this once I might be
tempted to do it more.”

“So you’ve really never? Not once?” Dean couldn’t believe it. It hurt him
knowing Sam was deprived of such a natural pleasure.

“I… I’ve done it once. I mean, I started to, when I was twelve.” Sam’s voice
grew quivery and his heart raced. “Dad caught me. He…taught me not to do that.
Since then I've never done it again. Never.”

“He taught you?”

Sam’s breathing was audible now.

“What did he do when he saw you?” Dean grew curious because Sam looked truly
frightened now.

“Dean no… I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Oh God, he hurt you, didn’t he?” Dean’s green eyes were piercing in their
demand for the truth.

Sam licked at his lips and looked away.

“Sammy, you can tell me.” Dean covered Sam’s hand with his own and squeezed.

“No. Please…” Sam shook his head. He glanced at his hands and the painful
memory of the burning assaulted him. “I don’t want to. Don’t make me.”

Dean nodded, albeit reluctantly. “Fine. I won’t make you tell me about it now,
as long as you promise me you will, eventually.”

Sam looked at him with questioning eyes.

“I want to know what happened to you,” Dean explained. “I wanna know everything
there is to know about you.”

“What if you don’t like it?” Sam spoke sheepishly.

“I love you, alright? And I wish I could help you. But knowing what I know now,
when I think of all the times I pushed and tried to make you let go with me I
was actually torturing you. I was hurting you.”

“No,” Sam urged. “No, you weren’t. You never hurt me.”

“How come? I teased you every way I could think of as you tried desperately not
to let yourself go.” Then Dean remembered something. “You did let go, you came
on my lap and you started to cry. I didn’t understand it then, but you looked
so sad, so broken…”

“I thought my dad would drink from me and find out about us. I thought I had
ruined everything. Even if he didn’t find out about us, I thought he wouldn’t
let me outside the mansion again to see Bobby.”

“And what happened?”

“He didn’t drink that night. He came to my bed, but he didn’t drink.”

Dean wondered about the level of anxiety that Sam was forced to live in on top
of his repressed sexuality.

“I know you’re afraid to tell me everything, but I know you’re scared of your
dad, Sam.”

“I…”

“I know you love him, but you also fear him,” Dean cut him off. “Am I wrong?”

Sam was silent.

“How can I help you?” Dean asked the question that was tearing at him.

“You can’t.”

“Of course I can, I just need to know how.”

“Dean, you promised you wouldn’t tell anyone. You promised me and I trusted
you.” Sam grew flustered.

“I know. I know I did.” And right now the secret was killing him. “But I want
to do something for you, I want to help you.”

“You can do something for me now.”

“What do you need? Just tell me.”

“Do you think you can just hold me and not…not talk about what I told you?” Sam
knew he was asking a lot. Dean had a lot of questions and Sam wasn’t a fool not
to see the agitation in Dean’s eyes. But he had to trust him, he had to believe
Dean would keep his promise.

“I can do anything for you,” Dean murmured and adjusted in bed so he could hold
Sam in his arms.

The boy huddled closer and breathed in Dean’s scent. He relished the warmth and
tightness of the embrace, and the fingers that stroked his hair softly.

“I know you want to do more,” Sam said. “But this, right here, is all I need
you to do right now. Can you do that?”

Dean sighed and tightened the embrace.

“I can.”

Chapter 37



“Are you sure you’re going to be alright?” Dean looked at the place where
Crowley had parked the car for the tenth time.

“I am. I need to go now,” Sam said.

“You can stay at my place if…”

Sam went closer and shut Dean with a kiss that Crowley pretended not to see.

“I’m fine, and I’m going home. Thank you for everything.” Sam knew Dean was
troubled with all he had learned about Sam’s family, but in all honesty, Sam
would be shocked if Dean weren’t. It was a lot for Sam who had grown up in this
situation, so he could only imagine how much harder it was for Dean right now.

Dean nodded and took a deep breath.

“I’ll see you again in a few days, won’t I?”

“I’ll go to class. Nothing has changed.”

“Okay.”

Sam wanted to pretend that everything was all right, but the truth was that he
didn’t feel that good either. There were disturbing flashbacks rushing through
his mind every few minutes, and the faint rash around his wrists caused his
chest to feel painfully tight. Last night was still a mystery, one Sam was
afraid to uncover. But he needed Dean to believe he would be alright; Sam
couldn’t turn his back on a worried sick Dean.

“You take care. And if you need me just let me know. Ask Crowley or anyone to
come find me.”

“It’s okay.”

“Promise?”

“Yes, Dean.” Sam sounded tired and reassuring. “This has been my life for a
long time now. I can handle it.”

Dean wanted to say that Sam didn’t haveto handle it, that he could just come
live with him and get away from his deranged father. Dean knew, however, that
things weren’t so simple. Whatever had been happening to Sam, as he had just
said himself, it had been going on for a while, and Dean wouldn’t be able to
talk him out of it in a few hours. He had to let go for now, because Sam was
obviously not ready to deal with things.

“I love you,” Dean said.

Sam smiled lightly. “I love you, too.”

Their hands found each other’s and squeezed, and Dean took Sam’s fingers to his
lips and kissed them.

Sam watched as the older man turned around and left, and his heart ached at the
reluctance in Dean’s attitude as he forced himself to say goodbye. When he was
gone, Sam walked towards Crowley and the limo.

“How are you, Prince?”

Sam stared at him for a while. “Good. Did you really help him take me?”

Crowley seemed at a loss. He immediately second-guessed his decision and it
showed.

“It’s okay,” Sam reassured him quickly. “I wanted to thank you.”

“Oh,” Crowley seemed relieved. “I’m glad.” Then he let his eyes study the
prince carefully, assessing every detail of him. Crowley was still thinking
about whatever had happened the previous night—Azazel’s blood and fuck fest,
Sam lying unconscious, Dean begging for help to take him away. “I hope it was
the right call to make. I imagine the Winchester didn’t…” Crowley hated to ask,
but he had to. A lot depended on that. When Sam didn’t say anything he went on,
feeling obviously awkward. “I mean, Dean promised he wouldn’t…”

Sam sighed when he understood where Crowley was getting at. “He didn’t do
anything. We didn’t do anything. Dean wouldn’t hurt me. And I…you know I
can’t.”

Crowley nodded silently. He was once again relieved.

“Can we just go home, please? I want my bed.”

“Sure, Prince. Get in.”

Crowley opened the door for Sam and then sat behind the wheel. He drove back to
the mansion as a thoughtful teenager stared quietly out of the window.


~ * ~


“Where’s my dad?” Sam asked as soon as he stepped foot inside.

“He’s still in his room with some guests. He asked not to be disturbed.”

Sam’s heart raced. Guests.

He closed his eyes and the sounds came back, and the blurred images, too. Sam
opened his eyes quickly and tried to take a deep, calming breath.

“I’ll be in my room.”

“Do you want me to bring anything up? Are you hungry?”

“I’m fine. Thanks.”

Sam went up the flight of stairs and he stopped for a moment before the shut
door that led to his father’s bedroom. Sam felt a chill spread inside of him so
he hurried to his own room.

He was getting into bed when Crowley showed up by the door.

“What?” Sam asked, annoyed.

“I’m sorry, but I need to watch you, remember.”

Sam felt his throat tighten and for a scary moment he thought he might cry.

“Jesus, Crowley, I’m not an animal…” his voice faltered a little and Sam could
feel a knot of tension choking him. He had a weird feeling about the night he
couldn’t remember, and he had just told Dean his biggest secret. Sam didn’t
know what would happen now and he felt weary.

“I’m sorry.”

Sam sighed, defeated, and nodded as Crowley sat on he chair in the corner of
his bedroom. The boy took a large, hardcover book from the nightstand and began
to leaf through it as his thoughts rushed.

What if Dean told someone? What if he told his father? Dean’s dad and his dad
were known enemies, what if something terrible happened now that Sam had shared
his secret?

‘He won’t tell anyone. He promised’, Sam’s brain tried to soothe his fears. ‘He
loves me, and he won’t tell.’ Sam clung to that thought until he could calm
down a little. He tried to get his mind off the previous events by focusing on
the book at hand. It was Egyptian mythology, and it was interesting enough to
get Sam’s mind busy for the next couple of hours.

When the sun had set and the night was dark and silvery, Sam felt his stomach
growl. He put down the book and looked at Crowley dozing off on the armchair.

“Hey, Crowley?”

“Hm?”

“Will you ask Mrs. Higgs to make me a sandwich or something? I don’t feel like
eating downstairs. My head still hurts.”

“Yeah, sure. You need to drink water. You’re probably still dehydrated.”

They stared at each other in silence for a moment, both afraid to say anything
else that might remind them of the previous night.

Crowley got up and walked outside for a bit, probably giving instructions to
another employee so the Prince would have dinner sent his way.

As he waited, Sam took a quick shower. The bathroom door was open and Crowley
was just standing outside. In that moment of frail privacy, Sam studied himself
and pretended not to be disturbed by the many red dots all over his skin. He
pushed all thoughts away, washed himself clean and stepped out of the bathroom.

“Here it is,” Crowley said, offering him a plate with a sandwich and pushing a
glass of water into his hand. “Drink this.”

Drink this.

Sam shuddered.

“No.” he took a step back.

“Prince? What’s wrong?”

“I don’t want to.”

Don’t you trust your daddy?

“Samuel...? It’s just water.” Crowley frowned.

Sam shook his head lightly as if he could chase away the memory. He took the
glass and drank from it.

That’s a good boy. Now let’s go down. Ours guests are waiting.

“I…I am not hungry anymore.”

“You need to eat something. C’mon.”

Sam looked at the sandwich and felt queasy. He knew, however, that part of what
made his stomach upset and his head hurt was the amount of blood he had lost
the previous night. It was important that he ate and drank in order to recover
faster, so he swallowed down his uneasiness and accepted the food.

“Thank you…” Sam looked at the plate as if he had a difficult task at hand, but
he sat down and ate everything, washing it down with cold water.

When a few moments later the boy fell asleep, Crowley walked out of the room
with the plate and the glass, then he returned and sat down at his usual spot,
watching over the sleeping kid.


~ * ~


Dean went home and didn’t leave the shack for the rest of the day. No matter
how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop thinking about everything Sam had told him
just a few hours before. Dean’s mind kept going back and forth as if he could
learn something new by replaying the conversation over and over again, to the
point of exhaustion.

Azazel was a vampire. That made no sense. That couldn’t even exist. Except that
it did, because Dean could tell Sam was telling the truth, and because his dad
had known, of course he had. All those times people had called John crazy
because he had implied that the yellow-eyed doctor was some kind of
supernatural, malignant creature, seemed painfully unfair now. How come his dad
knew about it? What had happened in the past that had caused John to find out
about Azazel’s secret? How did his dad get close enough to know that, or was it
a coincidence, like wrong place at the wrong time?

Dean was frustrated because he had no idea what his dad knew, and he was aware
that he couldn’t ask him. He had promised Sam not to tell anyone, and Dean
couldn’t break that promise. Hell, given the bad blood between their dads,
telling John would be the last thing Dean could do now if he wanted to have
Sam’s trust, and Dean wanted that.

He knew that the only way to help Sam out of that sick lifestyle was to have
Sam trust him that life could be different, that it could be better. A part of
Dean didn’t understand why Sam couldn’t just run away and come live with him,
why not just give in and do whatever the hell he wanted to? That’s what Dean
would have done if he’d had an abuse blood drinking father.

However, Dean also knew that it wasn’t as simple as he wanted it to be. Sam
didn’t know any other reality other than the one he had been brought up into.
If he was raised to believe that what his father did to him was normal and that
it was a form of affection, there was no way Dean could change that in a few
hours. When he thought about it now, Sam’s entire life behind mansion walls,
with little human interaction, no friends, no real knowledge of life outside
the books, it was easy to understand how difficult it was for Sam to realize
what was really going on.

The boy had never been kissed, never been touched, hell, he had never even
touched himself! Everything that happened between them was new and exciting,
right, but also scary, and a lot of Sam’s skittish behavior made sense now.

“What am I going to do?” Dean asked himself for the hundredth time that day. He
didn’t know how he could help Sam. Perhaps he could tell his father, break into
the mansion with Bobby’s help – hell, maybe Crowley would help too! – and run
away with Sam. But then what? Sam loved his father, he had said as much. Dean
couldn’t force him to see what was right there—that his dad was a monster who
preyed on him, and that had little to do with love and a lot to do with
domination.

Dean didn’t want Sam to be mad at him, and Sam would get mad if Dean broke his
promise or if he tried too hard to prove that Sam’s entire life was a lie. He
had to be patient now. Sam had already taken a big step today; he had shared a
deep secret with someone he trusted, and Dean was pretty sure no one knew about
the things Sam had told him today. He doubted Bobby was aware of the blood
feeding, or else he might have already tried to do something about it.

It was frustrating and maddening, but the best thing to do now was to do
nothing at all. Dean needed to wait and see how it would all unfold. He needed
to see Sam again and talk to him more. If Sam were ever to understand that he
didn’t need to abide to his dad’s cruel rules… The boy just needed to know
there was another option; he needed to know he could feel safe and loved and
not forced into anything he didn’t really want.

Dean wondered what it would feel like the next time they were together, how was
he supposed to just not touch the boy? Dean was completely infatuated, and his
body responded quickly to Sam’s presence. Yet, if Sam couldn’t get release,
then teasing him, touching him, even breathing on him would be just too cruel.

Dean sighed, lay in bed and stared at the ceiling. He supposed it would have
been much easier if he was just looking for a fuck. Sex was simple. Sex was
familiar territory. What Dean felt now, though, that was new and exciting and
terrifying. He wanted to hold Sam in his arms and keep him protected from
anything or anyone that might try to hurt him, and he wanted that so much that
his heart ached.

Love was definitely a lot harder than sex. Dean was used to seeing himself as a
good lover, master in the art of love-making, but it seemed like love was much
more than what he could have imagined, and right now Dean was a helpless
student, trying to learn what it meant to love someone so much.


~ * ~


“Dad! Who are they? Get them off of me!”

Sam thrashed but he couldn’t get away. There were faces hovering above him,
grinning faces, hungry faces, and there were hands touching him all over,
running up and down his skin, and Sam was naked and exposed, and he felt so
vulnerable, so afraid…

“Shhh, it’s okay, baby. It’s okay.”

“Relax, Prince boy…you taste so fucking delicious…”

“No!!! Stay away!!! Dad, please!”

They were laughing, and their teeth looked red. Sam knew they had been drinking
from him, he could feel the stinging sensation all over his body, and his mind
was unclear because his dad had made him drink something, and now he was going
to do it again, he was going to…he had a needle, he would…

Sam struggled violently but he couldn’t move. His heart was slamming against
his chest.

“Shhh…relax, baby. It’s okay. Daddy is here. Daddy will make it go away. When
you wake up you won’t remember…”

“Daddy!”

“…any of this…”

“Don’t drug me, please, please don’t…” Sam was shaking. He felt cold now, and
his fear escalated. He was about to be put under some drug, and then what would
happen to him? What were they going to do?

The faces looked at him expectantly, blood lust evident in their eyes. Sam
tried to move but he couldn’t, he looked at his dad but Azazel’s eyes were
cold.

“Hold him down.”

“Noo!!”


“Shh, it’s okay, it’s okay.” Crowley held Sam’s shoulders and talked to him so
he would wake up.

Sam’s eyes opened quickly and he looked around himself. He was in his own
bedroom, the lights all on, the blankets thrown off his body, pooling on the
floor.

His pupils were dilated and his breathing uneven.

“You were having a nightmare. It’s alright.”

Sam felt the powerful impact of all those images and sounds hit him and he
gritted his teeth angrily.

“That was not a nightmare. That was a memory.”

When Sam surged upwards Crowley had to let him go.

“Prince?”

Sam wasn’t thinking straight. He remembered what had happened to him, the tight
ropes around his wrists, his naked body spread as a feast to his father’s
friends, and all the shame and fear turned into boiling anger. There was no
stopping him when he started to move.

“Prince? Where are you going? It’s five a.m. Go back to bed.”

“I need to speak to my father.”

Crowley’s heart skipped a beat. That wasn’t good, it wasn’t good at all.

“Prince, wait!” He put a hand on Sam’s shoulder to try and stop him. “Wait a
moment, you need to sleep this off.”

“Let me go, Crowley.” Sam looked at him with fire in his eyes, a fire Crowley
had never seen, and that made him step back.

“No. You need to think this through. You’re obviously too distressed now.”

“Let me go,” Sam growled.

“Wait a moment and give this some thought. When you calm down you can…”

Sam grabbed Crowley’s wrist with a strength the older man wasn’t really
expecting.

“Get out of my way now.”

“Your dad asked not to be disturbed.”

Sam said nothing. He stared down into Crowley’s eyes until the older man moved
away and Sam could walk past him. Crowley fell behind as he followed Sam
towards Azazel’s room. He knew nothing good would come out of it, but he didn’t
think he could stop the boy right now. He braced himself for the shit that
might hit the fan when Sam knocked on that door.

“Dad? Dad!” Sam knocked as if he would tear the door down. “Open up! We need to
talk.”

“Sam, perhaps you should…” Crowley tried sheepishly.

Sam looked at him fiercely over his shoulder and Crowley fell silent and took a
step back.

“Dad! I know you’re in there! Open the door or I’ll just keep knocking until
you do!”

There were footsteps a moment later and Azazel opened the door. He was wearing
a dark green robe and the room smelled weird. Sam felt his will falter when his
dad’s yellow eyes locked into his, but then he remembered why he was there and
he forced himself to go on.

“We need to talk.”

“Alright. Can’t this wait? I’m in the middle of something here.” Azazel eyed
Crowley, who cowered instinctively.

“No, it can’t.”

And before Azazel could say anything else, Sam stormed into the bedroom, his
heart thudding loudly in his ears.

The faces that met him sent chills down his spine. There were two women and two
men in various degrees of nakedness staring amusedly at him. The nightmare
wasn’t just a nightmare, as Sam had suspected. Those were the faces that had
stared hungrily at him as he thrashed, and those were the vampires that had fed
on him all night while he was drugged.

Azazel shut the door behind Sam and for a wild moment Sam lost control of his
feelings and all his anger turned into irrational fear.

The four wildly attractively and lust-ridden strangers came in his direction
and Sam could almost read their thoughts. They desired him so much that the
thickness of their hunger filled the room.

The smell of Sam’s fear spread and made their nostrils flare with delight.

Azazel could smell that, too. The anger and the fear, and he knew Sam was
confused right now. At first there had been blind rage as he stormed into the
room, but now as fear gripped him, Azazel and the other vampires could hardly
smell anything else that wasn’t the boy’s frighten coming through his pores.

A dark-haired man with piercing blue eyes watched Sam in silence and sent
chills down his spine.

“Go away,” Azazel told the other vampires. “Get your stuff and leave the room.”

“Why? We could have so much fun…” the brunette laughed leeringly and Sam stood
frozen where he was, listening to his breath.

“It’s over. You need to get out of my house. I’ll see you later.”

“There’s no need to send us away. Your son could join us if he likes…” the
blond man walked towards Sam and ran the back of his hand across the boy’s
cheek. Sam shuddered and tried to step back, but Azazel’s hand flew at the
man’s wrist, stopping him.

“Don’t touch him. Out.”

Sam heard the anger in his dad’s voice, and so did the others. In a few seconds
they had complied, getting dressed and leaving the bedroom so that Azazel and
Sam were alone.

Sam could then let out the breath he had been holding and great part of his
fear slipped away. For a second he was so grateful to his dad for his
protection he almost forgot why he was there in the first place.

“So what is it that you need to talk to me so urgently?”

“I…” Sam was at a loss. His feelings were a mess. He looked around at the room
as if he tried to remember why he was there, then he saw something on the bed
that made his heart sink. Sam took a few steps towards the bed and looked at
the ropes hanging from the headboard. Sam touched them with shaky hands, and it
was as if the rash in his wrists burned.

Azazel’s nostrils picked up the scent of anger building up again. Sam’s fist
closed tightly around the rope and the boy’s lips were pursed with rage.

“We need to talk,” Sam’s hand was closed so tightly around the restraining
piece of clothing that his knuckles turned white.

Azazel sighed. He didn’t like the defiance he saw in Sam’s eyes, not one bit.
It might be time to teach him another lesson.

“It seems we do.”

Chapter 38


Sam was breathing fast as he stared at his father from across the table
separating them. Inside his dad’s room there was a desk and a chair where he
usually sat at to deal with work stuff, and that was where they stood now, with
the bed behind them. Azazel had his robe drawn tightly around himself as he
waited for Sam to begin.

“Last night…” Sam began. “Did you drug me?” He was shaking with the weight of
the memories that came crashing back.

“You know I did, so why do you ask?” Azazel seemed perfectly calm, which only
angered Sam more.

“Why would you do that? So…so your friends could have a go at me?” Sam could
hardly stand to shut his eyes and remember the flashes of people looking
lustfully at him and running their hands over his body as if he was a toy they
could play with. “You let them drink from me like I was…food, or something…”
Sam didn’t want to cry, but he was so angry, and his dad was so intimidating,
that the tears were forming somewhere in his tightened throat. For now, though,
Sam was managing to keep them at bay.

“I drugged you so you wouldn’t get stressed over it. I didn’t want you to worry
or fear. I had it all under control.”

“Oh, really? So you admit that you offered me for your friends to play with?
You…” Sam’s accusatory tone was scraping through his throat as he spoke. “You
stripped me naked, you tied me to the bed…”

“So you wouldn’t hurt yourself in case you woke up, which you did.”

“Then you drugged me again. I begged you not to, I begged you to let me go and
you ignored me. You let them sink their teeth and drink over and over…” Sam was
dangerously close to hyperventilation.

Azazel assessed his distress and sighed deeply. “Calm down,” he instructed.
“Take a seat,” he pointed to the chair in front of him.

“No!” Sam nearly growled.

“You were not supposed to have remembered. The drug I used should have cleared
your memory.”

“Oh, really? Because that makes it so much better!” Sam snarled.

Azazel narrowed his eyes. The boy was afraid, yes, but he was also furious, and
for the first time in Sam’s life Azazel could see the warrior in his bloodline
clawing its way to surface and taking control. It worried him.

“I’m your father, Samuel. I made sure you were safe. It doesn’t matter what you
think you saw, I wouldn’t have let any of them hurt you. You have to understand
that.”

“You were supposed to protect me! Instead you drugged me and offered me for
dessert. How do you think that makes me feel?”

“Proud. You should feel proud. You are the most important thing in my life, and
my friends, the friends you saw, they are very special to me. Letting them
taste you, my precious son, is a sign of trust, and a sign of how much you mean
to me.”

Sam wasn’t falling for that. His eyes were dancing within flames of powerful
rage.

“I’m not your toy!” Sam went on. “I’m your son! You can’t do that to me, you
can’t—”

“Enough!” Azazel got up from his seat and slapped his hands loudly against the
cold surface of the table. “Shut up and listen to me.”

Sam stopped in the middle of his speech and looked at his dad as his face grew
darker.

“Stop being an ungrateful little shit. Yes, I gave you a drug so you wouldn’t
be upset. It’s unfortunate that the drug wasn’t enough to sedate you through
the whole thing. Yes, I let some of my trusted friends taste your blood and how
special you are. They didn’t harm you, they didn’t do anything to corrupt you.
You should know better by now, you know I will always protect you.”

“I didn’t want to…” Sam insisted.

“You’re so spoiled, Samuel! All of your life, you’ve always had it easy. I’ve
given you everything you wanted since you were a baby. Is there anything you
ever asked me that I did not provide for you?” Azazel circled past the table
and looked down into the prince’s eyes. Sam seemed to think about it. “I’ve
given you everything anyone could ever want. Do you know how many kids don’t
have food on the table? How many kids grow up without the love of a parent,
without clothes or a roof over their heads? Not you, Samuel. You’ve always had
it all.”

Sam’s lips were sealed now. He lowered his eyes to the floor, his heart still
pounding.

Azazel watched Sam for the impact his words had on him. He could not have the
kid going all rebellious on him. He knew that as a teenager Sam was likely to
question his authority, specially given his blood lineage, but Azazel was
willing to do anything in his power put off the moment when he couldn’t control
the boy anymore.

“You grew up in a fucking castle, Samuel, in all but name! You’ve had servants
cater to your every need since you were old enough to want something. You have
all the books you want, all the toys you asked for, you had me built a swimming
pool because you wanted to learn. How dare you accuse me of not being a good
father?! How ungrateful are you that you can’t realize how easy you’ve had it?
You’re a Prince! You’ve never been hungry, never been cold, never suffered!”

Sam panted. His dad was right. Sam had everything. Most people had nothing.

 “Everything you eat, everything you wear, the roof over your head, it all
comes from my work, from my love to you, and if I have a medical condition that
makes me need blood, that’s not something I can help!”

“I’m…I didn’t…”

 “Are you judging me because I love you so much? Because the taste of your
blood makes me feel alive? I’m sorry I’m the monster I am, I can’t help it!”

“You’re not a monster, Dad…”

Azazel smiled inside because Sam was breaking.

“You think I am! I give you everything a father is supposed to, and the one
thing I ask in return is obedience! You’ve never had to work a day in your
life, neither will you ever have to because you’re my heir, Samuel. You will
never have to face any hardships because I have made sure you are comfortable
and wealthy, and you have the nerve to tell me I’m a bad father?”

“I’m sorry…”

“Is it too hard for you to show me some respect? Do you think that bursting in
the middle of my private affairs is what I expect from you after all the
lessons you’ve had, all the conversations we had?”

“I…” Sam felt his throat tighten, but this time it wasn’t anger. He felt
ashamed and confused.

“So tell me, is it too much that I ask of you? To drink a little blood every
now and then, a blood that keeps me strong enough to keep providing for you. Is
it that difficult for you?”

“No…” Sam shook his head.

“You are not an adult.I’m in charge here. Don’t you think you owe me at least
some obedience?”

“I’m sorry, Dad…” Sam repeated in a small voice. “I just…” he tried. “I don’t
like it when you let other people drink from me.” Sam felt bad for his
outburst. His dad was right. Sam did have it easy. He was a millionaire, he had
everything he could ever dream. He had no right to complain. Besides, it was
not like his dad could help the blood thing.

Azazel softened his attitude and touched Sam’s arm with the back of his hand.

“I don’t like it. Just…just you.”

“I know you don’t, but sometimes in life we have to do things we don’t really
want to, because they’re important. I’m your father and I know what’s best for
you. If I say you have to do something, you need to listen to me and obey.
That’s what’s expected of you.”

“Are you saying there will be more? More people like them?” Sam felt his heart
respond fearfully.

“I don’t know, Samuel. Maybe. Sometimes I have to do things you can’t
completely understand. So yes, maybe there will be more people, and I might
have them drink from you. Will that be a problem?”

Sam couldn’t say anything. There was something in dad’s eyes that made him
silence his thoughts.

“Should I teach you another lesson, perhaps? One that reminds you why obedience
is important?” Azazel let both of his hands slide from Sam’s shoulders to his
hands. He grabbed at the boy’s hands and let his fingers brush the palms.

Sam shuddered.

“No, Dad.”

“So will you be a good boy when I need you to?”

Sam thought of Dean but pushed the thought away violently. His dad wasn’t a
monster. He was right, he had given Sam everything. Besides, it wasn’t like
children weren’t expected to obey their parents. Sam was no different.

“Y-yes…” Sam nodded, his voice unsure.

“I know it makes you uncomfortable, but you have to trust daddy to keep you
safe. Do you? Do you trust me?”

Sam nodded again. This time he didn’t trust his voice.

“Then let me see you.”

“What?”

“It’s alright. Let me see you.”

It took Sam a moment to understand what his dad wanted. He hesitated briefly,
but one look at his dad’s stern face told him he should comply. Slowly, and
with cold fingers, Sam pulled off his shirt, his loose pants and white
underwear. He felt vulnerable and sad, and the anger was right there below the
surface once again.

“I know you feel ashamed, but you’re beautiful, sweetie. There’s nothing to
worry about. I promise.”

Azazel studied the many red dots from fangs over the boy’s skin. Perhaps they
had gone a bit too far, but he had known that Sam would be able to handle it.
He ran his fingers lightly over the boy’s chest and then checked his wrists. He
frowned at the rash around the skin.

“I’m sorry, baby. I didn’t meant to hurt you. I really wanted to protect you
from yourself.” He kissed both of the wrists softly. “C’mere.”

Azazel tugged at Sam’s wrist gently and led them towards the bed. He sat on it
and opened his arms. Sam stood still for a moment, but the tugging was
insisting that he move, and he caved.

“Did you give yourself some rest? Did you drink plenty of water?” Azazel asked
as his arms tightened around the boy.

“Yes. I did. My head still hurts, though.”

“We can get you started on an IV with some electrolytes and analgesic if you
want.”

“No. I’m fine.”

“Good. That’s my boy.”

Azazel knew he shouldn’t, it was too soon after the strain he had put Sam’s
body through, but he just couldn’t control the urge to drink when he had Sam so
warm, his blood pulsing quickly in his veins as the kid sat in his lap. The
vampire nuzzled the boy’s neck for a moment and before he knew it his teeth
were sinking into his neck.

“Dad, no…” Sam put both hands against his father’s chest, trying to stop him,
but Azazel tightened the embrace until there was no more fight in Sam.

He didn’t drink much, but for Sam’s recovering body it was enough to make his
muscles relax and sleep come back.

Azazel licked at his lips as the boy yawned.

“Shh…it’s okay, love. You can go to sleep here. I’ll take care of you.”

Sam could barely think straight. His brain was so tired it was playing tricks
with him.

“Do you really love me?” he whispered.

“Of course I do. You’re my precious gift, Samuel.”

Sam’s lips curved in a small smile, but there were tears behind his eyelids,
and even though his eyes were shut, they were also wet, with a sadness so great
Sam couldn’t begin to understand.

Dean was wrong, he thought. Azazel wasn’t a monster. He loved him.

Sam drifted into sleep as his dad rocked him back and forth, as he did
sometimes when Sam was a young child.

It should be safe and comforting, but Sam felt weary and hopeless, and glad
when his dreams took over and he didn’t have to think anymore.

Azazel held him as he fell asleep. He was pleased with himself for turning the
situation over, but he couldn’t ignore the spark of fight that he had seen
brighten Sam’s eyes today. Azazel knew it was only a matter of time until he
couldn’t control the boy anymore, but he wondered if anything had triggered the
display of confrontation.

Perhaps he had pushed Sam too far with the other vampires and the drugging, but
if he wanted to keep Sam docile for a few more years, he had to push him and
make sure Sam understood the consequences of disobeying. He had to keep the boy
on a tight leash so it would be difficult for him to escape the mind grip
Azazel had over him.

Today, as Sam’s hazel eyes burned with rage and bravery, Azazel couldn’t deny
that the boy looked a lot like his father. The warrior blood had buzzed in
Sam’s veins, just as it had buzzed through John’s veins when he had confronted
Azazel, years before. The time that had passed seemed like nothing; the image
of Sam’s demanding eyes made it feel as if Azazel was back in the hospital,
watching John Winchester losing his mind, his eyes fiery with the need for an
explanation, his whole body taut with tension…



Some years ago…


“That’s alright, Hellen, let him in,” Azazel waved a hand at the nurse who was
trying to stop a very distressed John Winchester from walking into his office.
There was no way the small woman could have stopped him anyway. John was a big
man, and he looked extremely determined to be heard.

John ignored the dirty look the nurse gave him and straightened his jacket as
soon as she walked out and left them alone.

“Hello, John,” Azazel greeted him calmly, pushing the papers he had been
reading to the side and reclining against his chair behind the desk.

John’s breathing was labored and his eyes look murderous. Azazel knew they
might come to a confrontation after their last encounter, with John seeing the
blood he was drinking and all, but he had hoped the mechanic would be scared
enough to keep his mouth shut. Not John Winchester, apparently, not with all
the bravery and royalty in his blood.

“How may I help you today?”

“You are a monster,” John gritted his teeth and took a threatening step towards
the man behind the desk.

“Oh…” Azazel refused to engage in that display of testosterone. “So I’ve been
told. It seems like you have been around town spreading nasty rumors about me.”

“These are no rumors and you know it.”

“No, I don’t.” Azazel shrugged. “I have no idea why you’ve suddenly decided to
bad mouth me to the people of this town. People, mind you, who I’ve been
helping since the day I got here. In fact, one would think you might owe me
some gratitude after what I’ve done for you and your family…”

“Shut the fuck up!” John put his big hands on top of the desk and his eyes
burned into Azazel’s, and they had more fire in them than the yellow eyes
studying him pensively. “I didn’t come here for your lies. I came here for the
truth. I need you to tell me.” John’s voice cracked a little and Azazel could
see he was struggling to go on. “I need you to tell me if you’ve killed my
wife.”

“What?”

“I need to know if that was all a plan.” John knew that if what he believed in
was real, than he was risking his life simply by being there, but he couldn’t
have stopped himself if he tried. For the past months he had been publicly
bashing the yellow eyed doctor, to who ever wanted to hear. He didn’t care that
people thought he had lost his mind; John didn’t care if they thought he was
crazy because he knew he wasn’t. He just needed to know the truth. “I want you
to tell me what happened to Mary that day.”

“John, don’t be ridiculous. Your wife died giving birth to Samuel, who was born
very sick. We all know what happened.”

“You’re lying!!” John accused him. “You killed Mary! You killed her so you
could have my kid, and I swear to God I don’t know why you did something so
evil but I am going to find out, and I’m going to kill you.”

“Please,” Azazel interrupted him. “Let me stop you right there. Look at
yourself, John. You’re not making any sense. Seven years ago you agreed to give
me your son so he would have a fighting chance at living. I didn’t force you to
do anything, you did it because you thought it was the right thing to do.”

“You convinced me to do it! You told me my son was sick, you told me he
wouldn’t make it!”

“I also told you there was a chance he would, or have you forgotten?” When John
was quiet Azazel went on. “It’s not my fault if you’re feeling guilty now. I
have taken care of Samuel as best as I could; you have nothing against me.”

“You killed my wife and stole my son! You’re gonna drink his blood, you’re…”

“John…” Azazel shook his head. “Sit down, please. We need to clear this up.
You’re obviously confused about what you saw in this office the last time we
met.” Azazel knew the man standing in front of him was determined, but he was
also lost and desperate. “That wasn’t what you think it was. I wasn’t drinking
blood. I’m a doctor for heaven’s sake! I was simply tasting a small sample, now
I know it may sound absurd to you, but that’s what doctors did in the past, to
try and identify some rare kinds of diseases. If anything I was putting my life
at risk by doing that, but I’ve been working on some research that…”

“You’re lying! You’re lying and everyone in this town is going to know that!
Everyone is going to know you for who you are, and you can’t hide behind that
white coat. You can’t get away with what you did, I know what you are!”

“Oh, really? Do you?” Azazel felt his blood beginning to boil. “What am I,
John? Hm? What have you figured out?”

“You are a blood sucking creature, something evil, you’re…”

“Say it.”

“You’re a vampire.”

The next seconds happened too fast. Azazel was out of his position behind the
desk in less than a heartbeat. There was no way John could have followed such
fast moving. All he knew was that when he blinked his eyes open the doctor had
him pressed against the wall beside his bookcase, and John could see yellow,
angry, eyes staring deeply into his own.

“Never say that again…” Azazel was all rage as he squeezed his right hand
around John’s neck to keep him pressed against the wall.

John tried to speak but the hand pressing his windpipe wouldn’t let him.

“Because if you’re right, and I am something evil, then I could snap my fingers
and break your spine right now.” he pressed further and John gagged.

“I….nrggh….” John choked.

Azazel released his grip a little.

“I’m not afraid of you,” John snarled.

Azazel let out a crooked smile at the fight burning in John’s eyes. That fire
was exactly why Samuel was very special, so he couldn’t help but soften a
little at the sight. John was fierce, because it was in his blood to be like
that, and it was in Sam’s blood too, and pretty soon Azazel would be tasting
that. The thought cheered him and he relaxed some more.

“Well, you should be, John. If not for yourself, than for your other son.”

Azazel released John and watched him.

“What do you mean?” John frowned. His throat ached badly but he refused to let
Azazel see how much.

“You still got a kid to look after. Now wouldn’t it be just awful if you died
and young Dean was all alone in this world?”

“Are you threatening my son?” John groaned.

“Of course I am. Try and go up against me and you’ll lose. And when you lose
and I’m done with you, I might take your other kid, too. You know, bring them
both up as my own.”

John was one second away from charging against him, but the look in Azazel’s
eyes kept him. The yellowed-eyed monster really meant what he said.

“Stay away from my personal life. I don’t want to see you again. Stop spreading
nonsense about me. Although, let’s be frank, it’s not like anyone would believe
you, a simple, unschooled mechanic, over me, the finest surgeon this town has
met.”

“It doesn't end like this. You killed my wife and you took my son, and I’ll
make you pay.”

“Go home and look after your kid, John. Dean needs you. Unless you’ll take me
up on the offer to raise another one.”

John was shaking with rage inside, but he had to admit defeat. He didn’t care
what might happen to himself, but he was too scared for Dean. He knew that man
was a supernatural creature, therefore if he killed him, and truth was he could
easily do that, then both Dean and Sam would be in his evil hands.

John needed a better plan, but first he needed to get out of there.

“That’s what I thought. Go home and be a good boy, John,” Azazel said as the
man strode out of his office.

Half an hour later, in his home, John drank half a bottle of whiskey and passed
out in the living room. That night a young Dean called Bobby in a scared voice
as he found his dad unconscious on the floor in what was the first, but
definitely not the last time.

-------------------------------------------------------

***** Chapter 39 *****
 
 
Chapter 39



In the beginning, Bobby had been there whenever John collapsed and Dean found
himself alone having to deal with his dad’s alcoholism. Dean was just a kid,
and then he was just a young teenager, having to look after the only parent—and
the only family—he had left. Father Bobby being there and helping him through
it had meant the world to him, and it had also meant that his heart was broken
when Bobby and his dad stopped talking to each other.

At first Dean thought it was just a phase. The young teen waited for the adults
to sort through whatever had happened between them, but as time passed by and
the visits ceased, never to return, Dean understood that whatever had happened
between his dad and the priest had been more than arguing. A serious fight must
have gone down, one his dad wouldn’t tell him anything about, and neither would
father Bobby.

When the falling out happened, it saddened Dean not to have the older man that
felt so much like family in his house anymore, but that had never kept Dean
from paying father Bobby visits as often as he felt like. Even though John
wouldn’t say a word about whatever the hell had happened between them, his dad
never really forbid Dean from going after Bobby.

The truth was that the two men still liked each other very much, but were both
way too stubborn to give in and move on from their point of disagreement. It
had been a tight friendship until John couldn’t hold his secret back anymore; 
a friendship forged between kindred spirits, until Sam’s story came up.



Some years ago…


When John Winchester set his mind on some idea, Bobby doubted that God Himself
could make him let it go. The worst of it was that, the crazier the idea, the
more unlikely it was to make John see reason. Azazel, a vampire? Really?

“Please don’t tell me you took me out of bed at three in the fucking morning to
say this.” Bobby and John were sitting in the classroom beneath the altar,
looking at each other in the silent and dark of the night as some candles
burned and lit up the room.

“Just hear me out, okay? I promise it’ll all make sense. Just listen to this.”

Bobby didn’t want to listen to anything. He wanted to go back to his bed,
probably still warm, get under the covers and fall back asleep. But instead he
sat there as John went on and on about his crazy theory concerning the town’s
wealthy doctor. By the crack of dawn Bobby had been forced to sit through hours
of explanations and book chapters that seemed to point out that supernatural
creatures not only were real, but they were also living right there in the same
town.

“John, I’ve said this before, but you can’t possibly expect me to buy all
this…” Bobby tried again. The sun was probably rising outside and he was
getting weary.

“Just think about it, Bobby. Can you just consider it for a moment? It makes
sense, doesn’t it? The yellow eyes, I mean, he says it’s a rare congenital
disease, but have you seriously ever seen or heard anything about it before?
Besides, as a vampire and a doctor, he would have plenty of access to all the
blood he needed without rising suspicions. I saw him…”

“Drinking from a blood bag. You’ve said that already.”

“You don’t believe me?” John sounded outraged.

Bobby sighed. He could sense his friend was all riled up about it and he didn’t
have the energy to start arguing again.

“John, I think it’s very late, so late that it’s actually early, and we both
need to get some sleep.”

“So you don’t think any of this looks suspicious? The books I showed you, the
books you lent me! You believe in God and Angels, but you are unable to believe
there’s more to this world than what we think or see?”

Bobby didn’t really know what to say or think. John’s theories were absurd, of
course, but they were interesting, Bobby would give him that. There was no
denying that Azazel was very mysterious, as was everything surrounding his
life. It seemed even easy to come up with absurd ideas that could explain the
doctor’s eccentric behavior. But c’mon, if any of that was true, someone would
have seen something, or said something… Perhaps it was time to face the fact
that John’s alcoholism was getting out of hand.

“Listen, John…I don’t know what I think, alright? From what I know about the
man he seems a bit peculiar, yeah, I’ll admit that, but then going as far as
calling him a blood sucking creature of the night…” Bobby sighed and shook his
head. “Besides, he has a son…”

John felt his heart tighten. Exactly. Azazel had a son, his son, and that was
why John cared so much, and that was why this was driving him crazy.

“I know. What if the kid is in danger? What if Azazel harms him somehow…”

“I’ll stop you right there,” Bobby raised his hand. “I teach that kid. Sam’s
fine. He’s a healthy, smart…even spoiled kid sometimes. He isn’t being harmed.”

“Are you sure? Hasn’t anything weird ever happened?”

“John…”

“Will you pay attention from now on?”

“What? Why?” Bobby sounded every bit as tired as he felt.

“Just promise me you’ll keep your eyes and your ears open, that’s all I’m
asking you.”

Bobby looked unconvinced, so John insisted.

“C’mon, Bobby. If there’s nothing there then there’s nothing there. All I’m
asking is that you keep an eye out for what happens in that mansion.”

“I won’t be your spy.”

“I’m not asking you that. You said you cared about the kid…Sam.”

“I do.”

“So that’s all I’m asking you to do. Keep caring for him.”

Bobby watched as John got up to leave. He did the same and walked John out of
the church. When he went back to his bed and shut his eyes, all that
conversation seemed like nothing but a vague memory from a fading bad dream,
but John’s words for him to look out for the boy were still in his mind when
Bobby woke up.


*


Bobby thought John was overreacting. He thought his friend had lost his mind
out of grief. He wished John would stop making a fool of himself in town by
accusing a respected citizen of being a monster. Yet, nothing of that changed
the fact that Bobby started to pay closer attention to Azazel’s son during
their classes.

For the next months the priest listened carefully to the boy, and observed him
with a clinical eye at times. Sam seemed like a normal teenager most of the
time, but a few times Bobby had caught himself wondering whether there was
anything else lying beneath the surface in the life of the boy Azazel treated
as a prince.

One of the times in which Bobby caught himself wanting to know more was when he
noticed the scars on Sam’s hands.

They had been having class for less than fifteen minutes when Sam picked up a
pencil to write a report Bobby had requested. The priest’s eyes then focused on
the very faint, but visible burnt marks on his hands.

“You tried to do some cooking, did you Prince?” Bobby asked, feigning a passing
interest.

“Hm?” Sam frowned, but then he followed Bobby’s gaze and the pen fell off his
hand immediately. Sam’s heart raced and he tried to hide his hands, even though
it was obviously too late.

“What happened there?” Bobby’s interest grew. Sam had never shown any sign of
injury before, and Bobby was sure that was nothing, but in light of what John
had been saying lately, it didn’t hurt to probe a little.

“Oh, nothing.” Sam shrugged. He didn’t like the way Bobby’s eyes narrowed and
he wouldn’t look away.

“Really? It seems like it hurt quite a bit.”

“Not anymore. I got burned in the kitchen. I stood too close to a hot pot,
that’s all.”

“Both hands, eh?”

“Yes. Both hands.” Sam’s heart was thudding, and he looked at the sheet of
paper before his eyes intently.

“Because if something else happened and you wanted to talk to me about it…”

“Father Bobby, please,” Sam cut him off, rather harshly. “Can we focus on the
job you are being paid to do?” Sam’s attitude was rude and one might consider
it as nothing but a mood from a spoiled and overly pampered kid, but Bobby knew
that boy enough to know Sam was unwilling to talk. Pushing Bobby away with the
prince-talk Sam had been taught all his life was clearly a defense mechanism.

“Of course, Prince.” John had fucked up his brain, Bobby told himself. Sam was
probably just ashamed of talking about it. Maybe he was feeling self-conscious
about his hands. Maybe he had been lectured for being careless in the kitchen
and just didn’t want to be reminded of it now. Bobby had to let it go; he
couldn’t let the mechanic’s ideas get to his mind. “Forgive me my intrusion.”

“It’s…it’s okay.” Sam’s voice softened and he took a deep breath.

Bobby didn’t insist anymore, but he stole one too many glances at those hands
when the boy wasn’t looking.


*


The day everything changed between Bobby and Dean’s father, the priest had been
walking through the streets on his way back to the church from the supermarket
when he heard the screaming. As a priest and someone who tried to put people at
ease, Bobby was drawn to the sound of chaos in hopes of setting it right.

When he saw his friend standing in the middle of the park, completely drunk,
holding an empty bottle in one hand and using the other to gesticulate as he
spoke loudly about a yellow-eyed monster, Bobby wanted to be able to stop time,
get John out of there and pretend nothing had ever happened.

“He’s a monster! You choose not to see it but that doctor is the devil!” John’s
eyes were bloodshot and his speech was a bit slurred. “Azazel isn’t human, he’s
a fucking beast!”

“John…” Bobby rushed towards his friend and waved his hands before John’s face.
“John, that’s enough. Let’s get you home.”

“No! Leave me alone, Bobby. I need to tell them. They won’t believe me, but
Azazel’s dangerous, he needs to be stopped!” John was desperate. The truth was
that he simply didn’t know what to do. He had all these theories in his mind
but no one who might believe them. Then there was also all the past that Azazel
and he shared and John couldn’t handle that anymore. It was suffocating him.

“C’mon, let’s go.” Bobby tried to move John.

“No! They need to know, Bobby! Someone needs to tell them who that yellow-eyed
creature really is. He’s a vampire, Azazel’s a fucking vampire!”

Bobby looked around at the way people arched their eyebrows and looked in their
direction disapprovingly. John was making a fool of himself for the people in
Glasstown, and he was also putting himself in a dangerous situation. Bobby
didn’t believe Azazel was a monster, but going out there screaming at the top
of one’s lungs that he was, couldn’t be good at all. You didn’t want someone as
powerful as Azazel as your enemy.

“It’s over John. Let’s go. Give me this.” Bobby pulled the bottle out of his
friend’s hand.

“No! Let me…get away…”

“Where’s Dean? Where’s your son?”

John stopped in the middle of his drunken protests and seemed to think.

“I don’t know. With his friends, I guess.”

“Let’s go home, John.”

Somehow the thought of Dean made John more compliant, as if he had grown tired
of resisting. Bobby was able to take his friend back to the garage where he
lived. Inside, Bobby looked around but couldn’t find John’s son anywhere.

“We need to sober you up a bit,” Bobby said.

“Bobby, you believe me, don’t you? Someone has to!”

“John, please…” Bobby shook his head. He was too tired for that conversation
again.

“You must have seen something, or heard something…think! C’mon, give me
something here, I’m begging you!”

“It’s not like I’m a part of their family or anything, John. They don’t invite
me over for dinner or whatever. I go in, teach the boy and come back out.”

“And you never saw anything? The boy never told you anything? You never saw him
hurt?”

“No!” Bobby frowned. Then the sight of Sam’s skin healing from what appeared to
have been a nasty burn in his hands came to his mind. “He’s a kid. He burned
himself once in the kitchen. Other than that I’ve never seen a scratch on him.”

“Burned? Are you sure?” John thought of the blood bag, and the teeth, and the
baby and Mary’s blood. “What about blood? Or bite marks? Have you ever seen
anything like that? Has the kid ever seemed way too weak? Has it ever looked as
if he wanted to escape? As if he needed help?”

“John, what the fuck?!” Bobby exclaimed, feeling tired and slightly angry.
“What is wrong with you? Why would Azazel hurt his own child? And why do you
care so much about his son?”

Bobby was prepared to argue and listen to some more crazy theories coming from
John, but he wasn’t prepared for the crying that took over.

John’s tears blurred his vision as the sobs left his throat. “My son!” he
cried. “He’s not Azazel’s, he’s mine!”

Bobby went perfectly still.

“That boy, he’s no prince, he’s my Samuel, my kid! Mary’s son…my son…” John
sobbed and wiped furiously at his eyes. His chest felt light as the weight of
his secret left him.

“What…” Bobby couldn’t even begin to try and understand that.

John didn’t care anymore. Now that the secret was out, he rolled with it. It
had been so long, he needed to let it out, even if just for one moment, even if
just to have someone else to share that burden with him.

“Mary died giving birth to Sam, but the baby survived. Azazel took my son, he
convinced me, he…”

“John, are you out of your fucking mind?” Bobby’s heart raced and his thoughts
rushed.

“No. I gave him up, Bobby, I did… I…my son, my own blood, and that monster…”

Bobby watched when John stumbled to the nearest sofa and fell hard on it. He
didn’t know what to say or do as he watched his friend spill such secrets.

“John…”

“I need more Vodka. Please, bring me some more.”

“You need to sleep it off. You’re not making any sense. Do you realize what you
just told me?”

“That Dean’s brother is still alive, yes.”

“John, this is some serious shit, we need to talk about this, you need to tell
me all about it! John…John?!” Bobby could not believe it when his friend fell
unconscious. “Oh no, you’re not dropping this bomb on me and then simply
falling asleep!”

Bobby tried, but there was no waking John up that night. He stayed around for a
while longer to make sure his friend wasn’t in any deep alcoholic coma, and
when he was sure John would be fine he left and went back to his church, where
he spent a sleepless night.


*


The next time they met was a couple of days later, in John’s house again. The
priest made sure Dean wasn’t there, because he needed, God, he needed to have a
serious talk with the boy’s father.

John watched his friend, the priest, walking into his house and knew he was
going to have a thousand questions. They were written all over Bobby’s face
before he even said anything.

“Drink?” John poured and offered Bobby a glass.

“No, and you shouldn’t either.”

John ignored it and washed it all down.

“Aren’t you gonna ask me to sit down?”

“That depends on how much time you’re thinking of staying.”

“John, don’t act as if nothing happened. What the hell was all that shit you
were talking about last time I saw you?”

John tensed. He had been expecting that, but it didn’t make it any easier.

“Forget it, Bobby. You don’t really want me to tell you that, so go.”

“Oh no, I do. I do want to know. I want to know how could you turn your back on
your own baby as if he was dead.”

“He was as good as dead!” John’s temper flared and his voice sounded shaky.
“That’s what Azazel told me anyway. He said the baby had been deprived of
oxygen or something, that he probably only had a few hours to live.”

Bobby listened to that, torn between the despair in his friend’s voice and his
own disbelief.

“Azazel made me believe the baby wouldn’t survive if I brought him home.”
John’s eyes looked full of sorrow and regret. “I should’ve fought him over it,
I shouldn’t have accepted it so quickly but I…I was devastated Bobby, my wife
was lying there after having bled to death, what the hell was I supposed to do,
how could I possibly think straight?”

“And you didn’t change your mind later? When he survived, you didn’t want to
see him?”

“I did, but…” John raked his large fingers through his hair and sighed wearily.
“I didn’t want to screw this up. I wanted him to have the best he could, you
know?”

“John, if this is true then you need to tell him!” Bobby went closer and his
eyes burned into his friend’s. “Sam needs to know what happened. He has a
brother, he has you!”

“He doesn’t need me. How can I just walk up to him and tell him all this shit
now?”

“I don’t care how, he’s your son, goddammit!” Bobby didn’t know why he was so
angry. His wife had wanted a baby so badly, and he had dreamed of being a
father, and yet this miracle had been brutally taken from him. And then there
was John, having not one, but two miracles, and now he was telling him how he
had turned his back and walked away from his baby.

“You don’t get it! I can’t ruin his life, I can’t change the past!”

“You have to! I’m not telling you to ruin his life, but he needs to know the
truth.”

“What good would this do? Nothing good would come out of it.”

“Admit that you’re just scared,” Bobby blurted. “You turned your back on your
son and you’re scared to face him. Admit it.”

“Shut up! You have no idea what it feels like.”

“You’re right!” Bobby was angrier than he meant to be, and his anger was
fueling John’s quickly. “I have no idea what it feels like to walk away on my
own child and not want to meet them, ever. I have no idea what it feels like to
pretend I don’t have a son. I really don’t know what it’s like to be too afraid
to tell my son the truth about his life!”

“Go away! Get the hell away from my house. You don’t know anything about me.”

“I know you’re delusional, John! This whole thing is probably just another made
up fantasy of your mind. You think Azazel is a vampire, and now you think his
son is actually your dead wife’s son that was taken from you in the hospital.
You need to see a doctor!” Bobby provoked. The truth was, he believed John was
telling the truth, but the at same time part of him hoped he wasn’t. Bobby
wanted to convince himself that John Winchester had lost his damn mind, because
that story about Sam being his son was way too messed up.

“Oh, really? So now I’m making all this up?! How dare you?!”

“It doesn’t matter, does it? You’re either too cowardly to admit you made a
mistake and make it better now, or too fucking wasted from alcohol to know
what’s real and what’s fantasy anymore.”

Bobby ducked his head right before the glass flew in his direction.

“Get. The fuck. Out. Of my house,” John snarled.

Bobby swallowed hard.

“Fine.”

The priest walked out and the mechanic didn’t follow him, and it would be years
until they talked again, in that same house, about that same past.

Chapter 40



The next time they found themselves together, there was an inevitable
awkwardness tangling with their surroundings. Sam had been dying to see Dean
again, but after everything they had talked about, he was shy and insecure.
Dean had anticipated the moment so badly he had hardly slept in the past
nights, and yet he didn’t quite know what to do when he laid eyes on Sam in
Bobby’s classroom.

Bobby watched as the two boys exchanged greetings. “I’m glad to see you’ve
worked out whatever happened between you,” he said.

“Nothing happened. I told you we were good,” Dean replied casually.

“Right. Nothing was ever wrong, Bobby,” Sam smiled with complicity when Dean
and he locked eyes.

“Yeah, right.” Bobby watched the two of them. Of course something had happened,
but whatever it was, Dean and Sam were still on the same team, and Bobby knew
there was no way he could get in the middle of that.

“Alright then, if you say so.”

“See you, Bobby,” Sam said as they headed for the door.

“Yeah, yeah…whatever…” The older man watched as the young ones disappeared out
of the classroom and away from sight.


~ * ~


When they stepped outside the church and started to walk around side by side,
there as silence at first, a silence neither boy seemed ready to break. Sam’s
silence had a timid nature, whereas Dean’s was born out of nervousness and a
tingle of frustration.

Their steps ended up leading them to the beach, and when the ocean was right
before their eyes, the two of them looked at each other and stood quietly for a
moment.

“I love you, you know that. So relax.” Dean stared deeply into Sam’s eyes, and
his words seemed to ease the boy’s evident discomfort.

Indeed, Sam felt himself relax a notch. He smiled and his heart brimmed with
joy when Dean’s lips met his. They kissed lightly for a moment.

“Is there something you want to do today, somewhere you want to go?” Dean
asked.

“I don’t know…anywhere is fine.” Sam had relaxed a little, but he was still
insecure.

“Then let’s take a walk.”

Sam nodded and followed Dean. They took off their shoes and walked along the
shore, feeling the water bathe their feet as wave after wave washed over their
bare skin.

“I haven’t told anyone, if that’s what’s bothering you,” Dean said casually.

Sam felt relieved, even though he didn’t think Dean would break his promise.

“Thank you.”

“I wanted to, though. I hope you know that. I wanted to tell my dad and tell
father Bobby, and I wanted to…” Dean realized Sam was looking at him with wide
open eyes full of concern. He shook off his thoughts. “There’s a lot I wanted
to do, because I’m worried and I don’t understand things, but I’m respecting
your position.” For now, anyway. Dean thought but kept to himself.

“I know it must be hard… It’s just, I never told anyone. This is different for
me, too. I don’t really know how to deal with the fact that you know,” Sam
confessed.

“Do you regret telling me?” Dean stopped for a moment and waited.

Sam thought about it. There were many reasons to regret his decision of opening
up, but Sam didn’t.

“No.”

“Good.”  Dean liked hearing that. It felt important, like a good start.

They fell silent again and kept walking, and before they knew it they were
making their way to that quieter spot on the beach where they could have
privacy. They went up a few rocks and a hiking trail before they got there.

As they sat down on the rocks and watched the waves break bellow them, Dean
thought of how to ask the many questions floating around in his mind. He didn’t
want to scare Sam away, but it was extremely difficult to pretend the boy
hadn’t told him all the things he had about his life. He kept looking at Sam
and then at the waves, unsure of what to say next. That awkward silence kept
going back and forth between them.

“Stop, okay?” Sam said eventually, a seemingly sad smile on his face.

“What? What did I do?”

“You’re feeling sorry for me. Just…don’t.”

“No, I’m not. What makes you think that?” Dean knew Sam was right, though. How
could he not feel sorry for a boy that lived as a prisoner of his own father?

“I’m not a victim. I got a good parent who cares about me and loves me, and
he’d do anything to protect me.”

“Except from himself,” Dean said before he could help it.

Sam grimaced a little. That stung, but he chose to go on.

“I can’t complain about my life, Dean. You saw the place I live in. I’ve had
everything I could ask for since I was born. I have a lot more than most people
could dream of.”

“Do you have friends?”

“Friends?”

“Yeah, like I have Benny, and Cas…do you have friends too, or am I the only one
you talk to except for Bobby and maybe Crowley?”

Sam thought about Meg and how they used to hang out when they were kids. That
had been taken away from him a long time ago.

“My dad thinks I should focus on my studies. Besides, Bobby’s a good friend.”

“He is,” Dean agreed. He wanted to talk about it, but he didn’t want to push
Sam too far.

“I like my life, Dean. I love my books and my classes, and I love swimming and
exercising.”

Dean wanted to scream that that was not enough, that Sam was missing out on so
much, that his dad had no right to keep him from life’s most amazing things,
such as going out, having ice cream, making friends, falling in love, having
pleasure…

“And now I love you, too.”

But when Sam said his next words Dean’s thoughts were defused and his heart
buzzed.  He leaned in and captured Sam’s lips on his own, tasting the boy’s
eagerness to fall into the kiss, and deepening it with his tongue.

Sam felt lost the moment Dean’s skilled kissing set in. Dean kissed by the
book. His tongue was knowing, bold and teasing, yet his lips were soft and
promising as they nibbled on Sam’s parted ones.

When Dean buried his head in the crook of Sam’s neck and kissed him there, the
boy shuddered and goosebumps became visible on his forearms.

“Dean…” Sam’s voice was throaty because his body was already responding to
Dean’s touch.

The older man pulled away and looked at Sam. The boy’s breath was shorter, and
his eyes looked a shade darker, too.

“This will kill us, you know. I want to touch you, I wanna run my fingers all
over your body, I wanna see you naked…” Dean’s hands closed over Sam’s arms and
squeezed, and the boy closed his eyes for a moment as his head spun.

“I…I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before. About not being able to do anything…”
Sam said. Dean looked really pained so Sam went on. “And now that you know,
I’ll understand if you have to see other people. You must have needs. I
wouldn’t hold it against you…”

“Stop,” Dean interrupted him. “We’ve been down that road before. I don’t want
to see other people. I want to be with you.”

“Yeah, you said that. I just wonder…”

“What?” Dean urged him on.

“For how long this will be enough.”

Dean could see how troubled Sam was. “Look, I don’t have all the answers,
right? I have no idea what exactly is going on right now, I mean, I love you,
and you love me, and I don’t know much else about this whole thing.”

Sam listened carefully.

“But if it’s sex you’re talking about, I’m not an animal, you know,” Dean
chuckled. “Yeah, I miss fucking someone’s brains out, I won’t lie. But there
are more important things for me right now.”

Sam just stared at Dean as if he considered what he had just said.

“Besides, you live without sex, don’t you?” Dean asked. “It seems to work just
fine for you. And you don’t even get to jerk off for some release.”

“Yes…but that’s not easy. I certainly wouldn’t put anyone through that.”

“You could make your own choices if you’re unhappy with the way things are, you
know.”

Sam’s eyes felt impossibly dry at first, and then there was wetness shimmering
in them, causing Sam to look away, embarrassed.

“Sam?...”

The boy wiped at his eyes before any tear had a chance to roll down.

There was nothing but silence between the boys and the waves breaking for a
moment. Sam felt as if his throat had tightened and speaking wasn’t easy.

“I love my dad, Dean…”

“And you’re afraid of him too, aren’t you?” Dean said what was obviously there,
hiding behind Sam’s attitude and hesitance.

Sam didn’t answer that. He seemed to shrug it off and let his eyes get lost in
the distance.

Dean found Sam’s hand and squeezed.

“I’ll run away with you if you want me to.”

“What?” Sam smiled as he looked into Dean’s green eyes, so full of truth and
promise.

“I mean it. I won’t ever leave you. If you think you’re in danger, if you need
to disappear, then I’ll be right there with you. Whatever happens from now on,
you’re not alone. I just want you to know that.”

“I won’t run away…” Sam chuckled, but his heart beat warmly at that.

“I’m just saying…you don’t have to face anything alone. I’ll fight for you, and
I’ll go away with you. I’m right here, okay?”

Sam chewed on his bottom lip and smiled with his eyes. He felt glad when Dean
closed the small distance between their faces and kissed him again, because at
the moment Sam wasn’t feeling very good with words.

When the kiss broke, Dean, pressed their foreheads together and they enjoyed
the silence for a while longer.

“Hey, is there any chance you’re wearing a swimsuit under those jeans?”

Sam laughed lightly and nodded. “Yeah, I thought we might come here.”

“Great, wanna go for a swim?”

“Yeah.”

The boys left the rocks and went down to the sandy shore. After shedding part
of their clothes, they jumped over the first waves and dove into the salty
water.

“It’s cold!” Sam complained half-heartedly.

“Aw, c’mon. It’s great.”

“It’s icy cold, that’s what it is.”

“Is that an invitation to go warm you up?”

Sam felt the proximity of Deans half-naked, wet body, and the temperature
seemed to rise instantly around his body. Indeed, being with Dean was just like
playing with fire.

“Perhaps…” he bit on his lip, the gesture absent and yet coy.

“Damn…” Dean whispered and wrapped Sam in his arms.

They kissed again in the water, and it was salty and wet, and within a minute
they were short of breath and Sam pulled away slowly.

“I’m warm now. Thanks,” he chuckled.

“See? You have to learn to enjoy the ocean. You’re just too used to swimming in
a pool.”

“And what’s the big difference? It’s water, isn’t it? You move your arms and
legs and breathe.”

“Oh, no way. It’s completely different. I mean, it’s similar, but very
different,” Dean said.

Sam laughed at that.

“It’s true, though.” Dean went on. “I’d say that swimming in a pool and
swimming in the ocean are pretty much like masturbating or having sex. In a way
it’s the same, but it’s also completely different.”

“Oh, c’mon,” Sam rolled his eyes. “Does everything have to be about sex with
you?” he teased.

“But it’s true! When you are in the pool everything is predictable. I’m not
saying that it isn’t good, because it can feel amazing, too. But you know what
to expect, you see? There’s little room for improvisation. It’s calm and
smooth, and the pool doesn’t react to you. The ocean, on the other hand, the
ocean is alive Sammy!” Dean had been surfing since he was a kid. He had a great
relationship with the waves, and the glint in his eyes spoke volumes of the joy
he felt about it. “The ocean is a living partner; it’ll dance with you, change
you, affect you…it can be mind blowing, but it can be a disaster, too. You and
the ocean need to be in harmony, you gotta have synchrony.”

“Right…” Sam adored the way Dean talked about it. It felt so passionate. But he
was also enjoying to provoke him.

“It’s true, though.”

“You’re just saying that because it’s not like I’d know the difference,” Sam
pointed out.

“Well, you have a swimming pool at home, don’t you?”

“Yeah.”

“And you’re in the ocean now. So go ahead, swim. Tell me how it feels.”

Sam narrowed his eyes and a bold little smile toyed on his lips.

“And then if you want we can move on to the other differences, but then we
should probably try it in the shack.”

“Shut up,” Sam laughed and splashed Dean with water.

“Hey…” Dean called after him when Sam turned around and started to swim away.
“Be careful! You shouldn’t swim towards the open sea, try and swim along the
shore.”

But Sam wasn’t listening.

Sam just let himself feel the waves and the movement of his arms. He swam
faster against the waves, and he soon realized Dean hadn’t been entirely wrong.
The sea was alive, and it seemed to fight him.

“Sam!” Dean watched from a distance and began to swim in Sam’s direction. “Come
back here!”

“I’m fine! I’m a great swimmer!”

“I know you are! Just stay close, will you?”

Sam felt free and daring and alive, just like the ocean, and he didn’t pay
Dean’s words any heed. He swam harder and faster, towards the horizon he could
see in the blue distance.

“Sam!”

It was okay. Sam was free and it felt exhilarating. He could swim as far as he
wanted, he could improvise, he could—

A stronger, taller wave took him by surprise and before Sam knew it he was
being pulled under the water. He tried to struggle his way back to the surface,
but when he opened his mouth widely to breathe, another wave crashed on top of
him and salty water filled his lungs until it burned. It might have been
nothing but a few seconds, but for Sam those moments lasted an eternity. The
water in his lungs made him despair, and the more he flailed his arms trying to
reach the surface, the more tired and useless his limbs became. Rational
thought gave in to sheer panic and Sam could not believe what was happening.

I’m going to drown. The thought hit him like another wave, and Sam saw the blue
green vastness all around him, pulling him down with an invisible strength Sam
could not get away from. Oh God…I’m going to die…

Dean’s arms locked under Sam’s, and in a few seconds Sam felt himself be
dragged to the surface of the water. He coughed tremendously when he realized
he could breathe air again, and he kept coughing hard in order to expel all
that water from his lungs. As he recovered, he might have gone under again if
Dean hadn’t been holding him tight.

“Are you okay?”

Sam saw the wide, scared pair of emerald eyes watching him closely. He managed
to smile.

“’m fine.”

“Jesus, fucking…are you trying to scare me to death? What the hell were you
thinking?” Dean held the boy tightly.

“I was improvising.”

Sam chuckled and ended up coughing again.

Dean shook his head disapprovingly, but he was relieved, and even hid a smile
behind his lips.

“Do you need help swimming back to shore?”

“No, I can do that. It’s okay.”

Dean let him go and watched as Sam started to swim towards the sand. He
followed the boy closely until they were both safe on the shore, lying on their
backs as the water washed over their legs.

“You were right. The seais different.”

“The sea is amazing. But swimming away recklessly into the waves is not the way
to go,” Dean said.

“Is that another analogy for sex?”

Dean laughed. “Yeah, maybe it is.”

The two of them laughed for a while. Sam coughed some more and turned on his
side so they could face each other.

“Don’t scare me like that, okay?” Dean asked softly.

“You saved my life in there.”

“You’re a great swimmer at home, but I grew up swimming in this place. I know
what I’m doing.”

“Are we talking about sex again?”

Dean laughed loudly.

“Seriously, though,” Sam began. “I owe you my life. I freaked out in there. I
did the one thing you’re not supposed to do. I lost my calm.”

“It’s good that you learned that. Next time you’ll be more careful.”

“How can I thank you?”

“Oh, c’mon. You don’t have to thank me. I did what anyone would’ve done.”

“I know. It doesn’t mean I’m not grateful,” Sam insisted. “You really did save
me. How could I possibly express my gratitude?”

Dean smiled a different smile.

“Do you really want to thank me?” he climbed on top of Sam on the shore,
letting his body weigh just a little on top of the boy’s.

Sam sucked in his breath and shuddered.

“Because if you do I can think of something I want from you…” Dean said
seductively.

“Dean, I…” Sam swallowed hard. “I can’t…”

“Shh, relax, okay? I’m not asking that. I would never ask that of you in return
for anything.”

“Oh.” Sam didn’t know what to think then. “Whatdo you want?”

“I want you to think about what it is that you want.”

“What?”

“I love you, and because I do I want you to be free to make the decisions that
really matter to you. So yeah, you spent all your life following rules. What
I’m asking is that you take time to think of what you want to do.” Dean looked
intently into the boy’s eyes. Sam seemed confused, but Dean knew he understood
him just fine. “Not what your dad wants, not what I want. Just ask yourself
what you want, okay?”

Sam lifted himself on his elbows and caused Dean to move a little.

“What if I already know what I want?” he asked.

Dean’s heart felt warm in his chest. He rolled onto his back and looked at the
sky.

“Then we just need to figure out how we’re gonna get there.”

Chapter 41



Azazel was going over some papers in his office at home when the servant
announced Lucifer’s arrival.

“Should I let him in, sir?”

“Yes, please.”

Azazel put down his pen and watched as the blond, tall man in a suit walked
into the office and sat across from him.

“Lucifer. I’m pleased to see you.”

“I believe you are,” Lucifer smiled charmingly. “You know why I’m here,
though.”

Azazel’s lips curved with a satisfied little smile.

“I believe you want to see Samuel?”

“You’re damn right I want to see him. I was away for so long, I want to see him
and I want to share his company.”

Azazel could barely hide how pleased he was with Lucifer’s enthusiasm and the
way things had worked out with the wealthy heir.


A few years ago…


At first, everything was just a possibility, something that might not quite
work, but Azazel knew that in order to settle down he would need help from
someone important, someone who could bring in the money so Azazel could pull
off his plan of getting the boy to himself. Over the years Azazel had managed
to put together a small fortune, but a partnership with Lucifer would still be
extremely useful.

Before approaching Lucifer with a proposition, though, it was necessary that
Azazel study the wealthy businessman extensively. From a distance and using all
the resources available, including his own supernatural ability to lurk, Azazel
waited patiently until he learned as much as he wanted about Lucifer.

The handsome heir of a billionaire empire was not someone Azazel could easily
get close to, let alone befriend, unless he had something the young man might
want, and in order to find out what Lucifer desired, Azazel watched him for
years to uncover information. After living in this world for as many years as
he had, one thing Azazel knew for a fact was that everybody had secrets, some
darker than others, but no one really put their lives out there with all there
was to see. Therefore, he just needed to figure out what made Lucifer tick.

It was a delightful surprise to find out that Lucifer’s weakness was in perfect
agreement with Azazel’s long term plans. At first Azazel had thought that maybe
he would have to turn Lucifer into a vampire in order to get from him what he
wanted, but when he realized Lucifer had a soft spot for pretty boys he knew
that Samuel would bring them even closer.

The best part was that to society, Lucifer wasn’t a sex predator, at least his
attitudes weren’t of one. Whatever dark little fantasies went on in Lucifer’s
brain were his own and no one else’s business—except for Azazel’s, now. But it
was important that Lucifer be no criminal. Azazel knew the billionaire desired
young, teenage boys, and yet the fact he had never acted on this just proved
him worthy of trust and partnership. Lucifer was a man who had control over his
urges, and Azazel admired him for that.

When he finally had enough information to approach the business man, though,
Azazel hoped that some of that control would threaten to slip away once Lucifer
listened to what he had to say.

“I’m sorry, who are you again?” Lucifer had just wrapped up a meeting and was
on his way to catch a flight. He did not understand how security had let
someone into his office when he had given clear orders that he didn’t have time
to see anyone. What he didn’t know was that Azazel had walked past security
unseen, as the creature of the night he was used to being.

“I assure you I won’t take too much of your time. I know how busy you are. My
name’s Azazel, and I’m a doctor at Glasstown.”

Lucifer stopped picking up paper and putting it inside his briefcase and looked
up. For the first time he actually saw the yellow eyes looking at him, and
those eyes made him stop caring about what he was doing for a moment and
listen.

“And why are you here?”

“I have something that interests us both. I believe a partnership is in our
best interest right now,” Azazel explained calmly.

Lucifer chuckled lightly. He arched a doubtful eyebrow. “Oh, really?”

“Yes.”

“What is it that you want from me?” he was amused at the stranger’s boldness,
but also intrigued.

“I want money, of course. I want some million dollars, your respect and
protection so I can settle in business more comfortably and carry out my plan.”

Lucifer laughed.

“You’ve got some nerve, I’ll give you that.” he stared at the yellow-eyed man,
but the so-called doctor didn’t seem to be laughing at all. “So you walk in
here and ask me for a few million dollars. What makes you think I’d give it to
you. What is it that you have that you think I want this badly? In case you
haven’t noticed I’ve got pretty much everything I could dream of already.”

“I have a boy.”

Lucifer stood perfectly still and his smile faded. Slowly, his amusement turned
into suspicion and his temper flared. “Who the hell are you?” Lucifer was on
the defensive. Who was that man and how much did he know about him? “What the
hell do you want?”

“I want to offer you the sweetest boy prince you could ever imagine. I want to
offer you my son’s hand in marriage.”

Lucifer walked towards that stranger in his office, his heart beating fast.

“Listen, I don’t know who the fuck you are but I suggest you get the hell out
of my office right now or else…”

“Not until you listen to me. I am not joking and I am not insane. I am a
vampire, and I’m here to offer you the most precious child you could ever dream
of having, but of course that can’t happen until he’s old enough.”

“A what? Vampire?” Lucifer frowned. “Now I’ve seriously had enough, I’ll call
security and I don’t ever want to see you again—” Lucifer trailed off when
Azazel’s eyes flashed and he exposed his fangs.

The moment Lucifer saw the transformation, he understood very quickly that was
no magic trick or an illusion of any sorts. That man standing in his office
meant what he had just said, which was both absurd and fascinating. Somehow,
though, Lucifer didn’t find himself scared, just back to intrigued.

“So, would you like to hear about this boy? About my son?”

Lucifer didn’t say anything. He went back behind his desk, sat down and pointed
a chair to the other man. Azazel sat down before him and they looked at each
other.

“What makes you think I’m interested?”

“You like beauty. You like having power over innocence. What this boy has, the
blood line he carries, that’s unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. He is
unique, and I promise that when you do meet him in person, which will not
happen soon, you will fall under the spell of his charm.”

“What makes him so precious?”

Azazel smiled for the first time and licked his lips.

“For me? His blood, of course. His ancestors, his magic, his royalty, his
strength. And, of course, his virginity. For you? A boy so pretty that
Aphrodite herself couldn’t have made him more alluring. And I will give him to
you in marriage in all his innocence for you to unleash and fulfill all your
most private fantasies.”

That conversation had become absolutely surreal, but Lucifer couldn’t back down
now.

“You said I can’t meet him now.”

“No. He’s too young.”

“When?”

“When I say so.”

“What if I don’t like him?” Lucifer asked.

“That’s not possible.”

“You seem overly confident.”

“I am,” Azazel agreed.

“What if he doesn’t like me? I’ll be much older than him. He might not even
like men.”

“He will like you.”

“Again, you seem impossibly certain.”

“I’m pretty sure you’re familiar with the term grooming?”

Lucifer tensed a little but nodded.

“If we have an agreement then you do your part, and trust me to do mine,
Lucifer. I know a hundred million dollars is nothing to you. And I know you are
already irresistibly drawn to my boy. You saw what I am, you know I’m not
joking.”

“Why don’t you just kill me and get the money you need?”

Azazel laughed lightly.

“I’ve been killing for way too long. I don’t want to do that anymore. That’s
why I need you. I want to stop running.”

Lucifer seemed to ponder for a while longer.

“What if I can’t wait until he’s ready? You tell me it’s not gonna be soon.”

Azazel stood up and smiled enigmatically.

“I’ll keep you entertained as you wait.”

“What is that supposed to mean?”

Lucifer watched as Azazel left the office and returned a moment later with a
young boy in his arm. Lucifer had no idea how old that boy was, but he was
pretty sure he wasn’t of legal age.

“Where the hell is my security?”

“Handled. You can take your time to enjoy the moment.”

Lucifer could already feel himself harden at the sight of the pretty boy
looking invitingly in his direction.

“Unless, of course, you have a flight to catch…” Azazel let the sentence hang.
He pushed the boy lightly towards Lucifer and squinted his eyes approvingly
when the businessman’s eyes darkened with lust.

“Goodbye, Lucifer. We’ll be seeing each other soon.”

He left the office and closed the door behind him.


In the present…


“So, where is he?”

“I’ll get Crowley to prepare him. You can spend the afternoon with him,” Azazel
said and pushed a button on the phone on his desk.

“No.”

“No?” Azazel frowned.

“I can’t wait as much as you want me to. You said it’d be years until you were
done with him. I can’t wait that long. I want him, Azazel. I’ve waited long
enough.”

“I’m not ready to part with him.”

“How long? I need a number.”

“Three years.”

“Ten months.”

“Are you crazy?”

“He’ll be seventeen in ten months. We can get married then.”

“Two years.”

“One.”

The two men eyed each other intently.

“His hormones are raging, you know that, I know that. You can’t hold him off
for much longer. He needs to be taken.”

Azazel knew Lucifer was right, but he had always dreaded the moment when Samuel
would no longer be his sweet little angel.

“One year. And I get to visit and drink from him whenever I want.”

“Fine. I thought you wouldn’t want his blood after I corrupted it with my
seed,” Lucifer chuckled darkly.

Azazel cringed at the thought. “It won’t ever be the same, but it’ll still be
better than anything I’ve tasted.”

There was a knock at the door that caused them to stop talking.

“Excuse me, sir, did you ask for me?”

“Yes. Get the prince ready to spend the day with Lucifer. Tell him I gave my
consent.”

“Yes, sir.”

The two men simply eyed each other with silent agreement as Crowley left.

~ * ~

In the gardens, Sam walked side by side with Lucifer under the bright blue sky.

“So how was Europe?” Sam asked.

“It was good. I had some important business to deal with in there, and I always
appreciate the old world, but I confess I’m happy to be back.”

Sam smiled politely. He wondered why his dad was so keen on having him spend
time with Lucifer.

“I missed you,” the businessman said and touched Sam’s arm lightly.

Sam looked at the hand on his arm and pulled away slow but gently. He looked at
his feet, not sure what to say. Lucifer read what was sheer awkwardness as a
deliciously shy attitude.

“Did you miss me?”

Sam thought quickly. Before he had a chance to say anything, though, Lucifer
went on.

“Your father said you asked for me.”

Sam realized how happy Lucifer was about it. Indeed, Sam remembered that. He
had asked whether the person wanting to meet him in the living room was
Lucifer, but that was the night his dad had brought home his four vampire
friends and… Sam shrugged off the thought quickly.

“I did…”

“That makes me really happy, you know.”

Sam looked Lucifer in the eyes and looked around. He didn’t know what to say
that wouldn’t make him sound rude, so he kept silent most of the time. The
truth was, Lucifer was an attractive man. He was tall and blond, and had light
blue eyes that were very charming. He was probably twenty years older than Sam,
though, and even if he wasn’t, Sam’s heart had only one name inside, making it
throb and race and tighten, and Sam couldn’t stop thinking about Dean.

“Sit here with me for a moment, will you.”

“Alright.”

Sam complied and they sat at a wooded area of the large yard, where large trees
grew and flowers covered the grass like a blanket. There was a wooden bench
where they sat, and a water fountain behind them. Sam looked around, but there
were no employees as far as his sight went. He supposed his father had ordered
the servants to give them privacy. The question was, why?

“Sweet prince…how have you been? It seems like your mind is miles away…”
Lucifer took Sam’s hand and toyed with his fingers lightly.

Sam tensed but didn’t pull away.

“I’m sorry. I’m fine, thank you. I’ve been studying some things, though.
There’s just a lot on my mind, but I’m okay.”

“You’re such a dedicated boy.”

Sam swallowed hard. Why did Lucifer like him so much? It wasn’t like Sam showed
interest in him in the same way, so why?

“I like to learn, that’s all.”

Lucifer was bewitched, body and soul. He didn’t know how much of his
infatuation was Azazel’s fault, after all the expectation and the background
story, but Sam was absolutely perfect, and Lucifer dreamed of the day they
would be married and he would be able to live some of his dirtiest fantasies
with that sweet boy.

“Samuel…” Lucifer’s eyes were sparkling. “Is it okay if I kiss you?”

“I…” Sam looked around nervously. Where was his damn warden when Sam needed
him? He was certain his dad had told Crowley to stay away, though. Sam wished
someone, anyone, would show up, but as far as Sam looked they seemed to be
alone. “I don’t think…”

“That’s okay. No one is here. You can relax, it’s just a kiss.”

As Lucifer leaned closer to kiss his lips, Sam moved his head, his breathing
fast and difficult, but instead of being offended and pulling away, Lucifer
kissed Sam’s cheek softly and for a long moment, and he held Sam’s arm to keep
him there when his kiss trailed lower and he buried his nose against Sam’s
neck.

Sam shivered softly at the feeling and squirmed.

Lucifer chuckled against the sensitive skin and kissed him.

Despite his control, Sam felt himself harden at the touch. Only Dean touched
him like that, and Sam was constantly on edge. It was impossible to control the
biochemical reactions that being touched triggered in his body given his
constant state of arousal.

Lucifer relished the reaction he got and touched Sam’s crotch boldly. The
erection he cupped made him throb in his pants and made his chest explode with
joy and need.

“Please, no…” Sam whispered and pushed Lucifer away.

“It’s alright…no one will know, no one will punish you. I won’t let them.”

“I…I can’t, I don’t want to… I’m sorry.” Sam looked uncomfortable and
apologetic, and even though his cheeks were flushed with arousal, he looked all
sorts of disturbed.

“Hey, hey… it’s okay. I’m sorry if I came on too strong. I just missed you so
much. It’s alright…”

Sam wanted to go back into the house, but he figured that was not what was
expected of him. He didn’t know what to do, but he cowered a little on the
bench and stared nervously at his hands on his lap.

Lucifer wondered what kind of intense grooming Azazel had done. He had truly
traumatized the boy. On one hand, it was extremely frustrating because Sam was
afraid of being touched, one the other hand, it would make for an even more
interesting wedding night.

“Samuel, I’m sorry. Are you okay?” Lucifer touched the boy’s face.

“I am. I’m sorry, too. I just…I don’t feel comfortable with this, I don’t
really know what to do…I’m not supposed to.”

“I know, I know, baby…but it won’t always be such, you know that right?”

“It won’t?”

“Samuel…are you happy with my company? Because if you are I can make sure you
don’t need to hold back anymore. Nothing would please me more than to help you
relax and learn about other things that you might enjoy very much…” Lucifer
took Sam’s hand again and kissed his fingers. “If you let me, I could spend my
life teaching you to relax, making you happy…”

That conversation was getting way too weird.

“Oh God, there are bees.”

“What?” Lucifer frowned, confused.

“I’m sorry, there are some bees in there, can you see?” Sam pointed towards a
tree. “There must be a hive somewhere near. I gotta get inside, I’m allergic to
their sting.”

Lucifer looked but didn’t see anything. He didn’t know whether or not Sam was
coming up with that just now or if he had indeed seen something, but it didn’t
matter much. He knew he had an effect on the boy, Lucifer had gotten him hard
with barely a kiss!, and that was enough to please him for now. Besides,
Lucifer had hopefully planted some thoughts in the boy’s head. He hoped Sam
would give these thoughts some time and perhaps loosen up the next time they
were together.

“Then by all means, let’s get you inside, prince.”

“Thanks.”

Sam got up quickly, and relief accompanied him as they made their way back to
the mansion.

~ * ~

Inside the house, long after Lucifer had left, Azazel walked into Sam’s room
and asked Crowley to leave.

“How was the afternoon?”

“It was okay. Lucifer was acting weird, though.”

“Weird? How so?” Azazel grew interested.

“I don’t know, Dad. He seems to really like me. I don’t really get why.”

Azazel chuckled warmly. He walked closer to the bed and sat down on its edge.

“Of course he likes you. What is there not to like about you? You’re my
beautiful, intelligent heir. You’re adorable, and smart, and funny…”

“Dad…”

Azazel took a deep breath.

“Lucifer likes you.” He studied Samuel. “How do you feel about him?”

Sam shrugged. “I don’t know. He’s way older than me.”

“That isn’t a problem. On the contrary, that can be quite useful when you
consider his experience.”

Sam frowned.

“Dad…what is going on?”

“Lucifer has expressed his interest in marrying you.”

“What?!”

“Why does that surprise you? He’s a successful businessman, and my partner,
too. He’s loyal, decent, and feels very strongly about you.”

“He could be my father!”

“But he isn’t.”

Sam seemed outraged, and that concerned Azazel a little.

“Is it because he’s a man?”

“What?”

“I never asked, but maybe the fact that he’s a man…”

Sam didn’t know what to say. He was in shock.

“Listen, baby, I’ve been around for a long time, and I promise you that this
whole gender thing is an illusion.” Azazel himself had been a straight man for
hundreds of years until he had his first relationship with a man. Since then he
had learned that regardless of gender. the body responded to pleasure just as
equally, as long as the mind was in accordance, and the mind could learn to be
in accordance.

“I…no, it’s not that…I mean…”

Azazel smiled. He had a feeling that Samuel was attracted to men, even if he
was to girls as well.

“I just…I don’t love him. Aren’t you supposed to marry someone you love?”

“Aw, sweetie. You’re still too young to understand these things. But this is
not something you have to be concerned about just now, okay? Lucifer knows
you’re my baby boy, and that you’re far too young for anything.”

“Dad…”

“Hm?”

“Promise me you’re not giving me up to him.” Sam thought about Dean and his
whole body felt tense. “Promise me.”

“Of course not, honey. I wouldn’t do that. As long as you’re my sweet, innocent
son I would never do anything you don’t want me to. Remember, I’m here to
protect you, haven’t I said this before?”

“You have.”

Azazel still had time to get Samuel to say yes to Lucifer. There would come a
moment when Sam would be so desperate for sex that he would agree to being
married off to the first stranger just so he could find release. Meanwhile,
though, as long as he was still a virgin and his blood was still the holy Grail
of strength, there was nothing Azazel wouldn’t do, no one he wouldn’t
fight—Lucifer even—to keep Sam to himself, regardless of any agreement.

“You’re my sweet precious boy. I will keep you safe. Now sleep tight.”

“Good night, Dad…”

Azazel leaned over Sam and kissed his forehead, then he let his lips trail
lower and locked his mouth around the boy’s neck.

Sam hissed lightly and flinched briefly, but then he closed his eyes and
relaxed under the familiar act. Sam fell asleep before Azazel had even finished
drinking.

Chapter 42


Dean watched as his father got ready to go hunting. He had dropped by his dad’s
garage to help him out, and in a few more minutes he would be leaving to meet
Sam at the church. Even though Dean had been in a hurry to leave, now that he
watched his dad gear up he couldn’t help but think about all the stuff Sam had
told him about his own father.

John realized Dean was staring. He frowned for a moment then seemed to shrug it
off quickly. “What are you looking at? Wanna come?”

“What?”

“Wanna go hunting? It’s been a while since the last time you tagged along.”

“Ah, no, thanks…” Dean had a thousand thoughts tangled with questions dancing
in his brain, but he knew he couldn’t do much about any of that. He had
promised Sam not to tell anyone, not to tell his father in particular, but
damn, it was so hard! His dad obviously knew something about Azazel. As he grew
up, Dean thought his dad had learned some very bad aspect about Azazel and then
perhaps exaggerated its importance, now however, Dean was very inclined to
believe his dad meant every accusation he had ever dished out towards the
yellow-eyed doctor. “I was just thinking…” Dean chose his words carefully. He
would not betray Sam’s trust, it didn’t matter how much it was killing him
inside.

“Thinking about what?” John urged him, fairly impatient at Dean’s hesitance.

“I don’t know. Azazel.”

John’s hurry abandoned him quickly and he stood at attention.

“Why were you thinking about Azazel?”

Dean shrugged. He swallowed down his throat, which felt a bit dry right now,
and considered his words.

“Nothing specific. I was just wondering why it is that you hate the guy.”

“You know why I hate him. He’s a liar, and a monster. He’s not what he says he
is.”

“Yeah, you’ve said that before.” Dean was fairly certain his father might have
even used the word vampire in previous conversations. “You never told me why
you believe that, though. Like, have you seen something? Heard something…?”
Dean tried to sound as casual as he possibly could.

John put down the backpack he was carrying and walked towards his son.

“Why are you asking this now?”

Dean’s heart raced. Promise me you won’t tell anyone! You have to promise!

“No reason.”

“Has the boy told you anything?”

“The boy?”

“Your friend…Samuel.”

Please, Dean!

“Sam doesn’t talk much about his family to be honest.”

“He doesn’t talk much? Has he told you something, though?” John couldn’t help
pushing. What if Sam had told Dean something about his evil father, what if he
had confessed to being maltreated or abused in some way? His heart was beating
erratically and John needed to probe.

Dean began to regret having that conversation. “No, look…it’s just that you
keep saying all these terrible things about Azazel since I can remember. I grew
up hating a guy I don’t even know, ready to believe all things related to him
were pure evil.”

“They are.”

“But then I met Sam, and he’s not evil at all. You saw him. He’s a sweet kid,
and I just don’t get how he fits into this whole scenario, you know.”

John looked at the floor briefly and sighed.

“I just wanted to understand, that’s all,” Dean went on.

“There’s not much to understand.” John couldn’t tell Dean what he had seen.
Telling his son he had seen Azazel drinking from a blood bag would bring up too
many questions. Dean would want to know what John had been doing in Azazel’s
office in the first place, and John could not tell him the whole truth. Not
now, maybe not ever; he didn’t feel ready.

‘There’s a lot to understand’, Dean thought, but he knew better than to raise
his dad’s suspicions even more.

“I gotta go. Have a nice hunt.”

John watched as Dean walked past him and out of the house. He couldn’t help
wondering what kind of conversations Dean and Samuel had. If only they knew…
John felt a painful twinge of guilt, but he told himself to snap out of it.
There was no use in feeling sorry now. It was not like he could change the past
anyway, right?...


~ * ~


The boys were both sitting on the rocks, watching the waves breaking in the
distance. They had been quiet since they got there, a few minutes before. The
tension between them was thick, and Dean wasn’t sure whether he should take Sam
back to his shack. Not that he couldn’t control himself, he certainly could,
but he would feel bad if he ended up teasing a boy who could not find relief
for the building sexual tension. And Dean knew it would be pretty impossible to
resist teasing Sam a little. The boy drove him crazy, and Dean had all his
libido piled up in a storm of urgency and hot desire…he didn’t quite know what
to do.

“We’re having a party at the beach tomorrow night. I wish you could come,” Dean
said.

“Oh. What is it going to be like?”

“Ah, you know…the usual luau.”

“I don’t know what an usual luau looks like,” Sam pointed out.

Dean chuckled sadly.

“Well, it usually starts around six, as the sun sets. There’ll be music and
people dancing by the shore, around the bar, and a lot of drinks that I’ll be
preparing. Someone will bring a guitar, and eventually people will gather
around to listen and sing along some old classics. Oh, and there’ll be a fire
when this happens. There’s usually a fire.”

“It sounds really cool. I wish I could go.”

Silence fell again as they stared quickly at each other before looking away.
For Dean, it felt like some sort of invisible weight crushing his chest as he
tried to figure out his way around Sam’s odd lifestyle. For the boy, it was a
sad mix of shame and joy being in Dean’s company and sharing some of his burden
with him.

“I’m sure you’ll be able to come soon.” Dean tried to cheer Sam up when a
shadow seemed to darken the boy’s hazel eyes.

“Yeah…” Sam agreed, albeit feebly. He could not, in a million years, see his
father allowing him out of the house to take part in a gathering with lots of
booze and young people making out, specially when John Winchester’s son would
be involved.

“C’mere…”

Sam accepted the embrace and let Dean hold him in silence. He could smell the
faint trace of cologne Dean had sprayed on in the morning, and he snuggled
closer.

Soon, Sam would have to make his way back home, but for the time being he let
himself forget his restrictions and rules.


~ * ~


Friday afternoon, Dean Winchester double checked the bar to make sure they had
enough drinks and finger food for the night. His friends watched him go over
everything as they all drank beers.

“You’re all set. Relax,” Ben said. “There’s enough of everything.”

Dean opened the ice chest for the third time to check anyway.

“Have a beer with us, Dean. People won’t arrive for another two hours or so,”
Cas said.

“I guess you’re right.” Dean looked around once more and then slipped under the
counter to join his friends. He poured himself some beer and drank it gladly.
It was a warm day, one bound to draw a good number of people to the bar.

“Is your prince coming?” Ben asked. “We haven’t seen him a while.”

Dean’s heart ached. “He’s not my prince.”

“Sorry, I meant your boyfriend,” Ben chuckled.

“Fuck off,” Dean mumbled crankily, then sighed and let it go.

“He can’t come, can he?” Cas asked. “His dad would never let him.”

“Yeah. His dad’s a fucking asshole, that’s what he is,” Dean let some of his
frustration out of his chest.

“Dude, you gotta at least try and get along with your in-laws,” Ben joked.

Dean gave him a dirty look and drank from his beer.

“Look, can we try and not talk about Sam tonight? He’s not coming, I ain’t
happy about it, end of story.”

“Fine,” Ben caved. “We were just trying to cheer you up.”

Ben exchanged a look with Castiel over Dean’s brooding frame and they sighed in
unison.


~ *  ~


It was six o’clock and Sam was finishing his dinner when Crowley showed up at
the kitchen.

“Your father asked me to tell you that he needs to leave. Something came up and
he’s on his way out.”

“He’s what?”

“He’ll be back tomorrow. He said not to bother you since you’re eating.”

Sam’s thoughts lit up with hope.

“Prince? Where are you going?”

“I want to see him.” Sam left Crowley behind and went upstairs quickly, and
almost ran towards his father’s office. His heart was racing when he knocked on
the door. “Dad?”

“Yes? Come in,” Azazel said from within. “Is everything alright?”

“Yes. Crowley told me you’re leaving. You said nothing of traveling today. What
happened?”

“Just some hospital bureaucracy I unfortunately won’t be able to avoid. It’s
nothing to get concerned about, though. I shall be back home tomorrow evening
or night.”

“Oh, okay then.”

Azazel walked towards the boy and kissed his forehead. “If it’s not too late
when I get home, I’ll stop by your room to pay you a small visit.”

Sam shuddered. He nodded obediently, but his thoughts were already elsewhere.

“Anything else? I’m kind of busy here.”

“No…nothing,” Sam said quickly. “Have a safe trip, Dad.”

Sam went back downstairs and waited in the living room, leafing through a book,
until the moment his dad left the house. He tried to act cool and uninterested,
but fifteen minutes after Azazel was gone was all Sam managed to wait before he
cornered Crowley with a demand.

“I need you to drive me somewhere,” he said.

“Excuse me?” Crowley frowned.

“Dad won’t sleep home tonight, and neither will I,” he said. “There’s a luau
going on at the beach right now. Dean is there. I want to go.”

“Samuel…!” Crowley sounded tired and a bit annoyed. “You know I can’t do that.”

“Why not?” Sam made sure to keep his voice low, but there wasn’t anyone else
paying them attention. “You’ve done it before. You’ve helped Dean smuggle me
out of the house and I slept at his place. So why not now?”

“That was different.”

“Just because I was unconscious and couldn’t make a choice?”

Crowley shifted his weight uncomfortably.

“C’mon, Crowley. You know nothing’s gonna happen. You know Dean, and you know
me.”

“I know you are both dying to get into each other’s pants, and I know this is a
party with plenty of alcohol and grinding. So no.”

Sam didn’t look away. He stared deeply into Crowley’s eyes.

“I never get to have fun. Please…”

Crowley narrowed his eyes.

“I promise I won’t drink.”

“You can’t promise that. I’ve been young once.”

“Even if I do it takes alcohol no more than six hours to wear off and then
there’ll be no sign of it in my bloodstream, it’s not like Dad will ever know.”
Sam had no idea whether or not that was acurate, but he knew Crowley wouldn’t
know that either.

That kid was too smart for his own good, Crowley thought.

“What about that other stuff that won’t wear off if you try?”

“Crowley…” Sam took a deep breath. “I know you’re just trying to look out for
me and that’s your job and stuff, but what I do or not with my virginity does
not concern you.”

“I wish you were right, but we both know that’s not true.”

“Fine. If you won’t take me then I’ll find a way to get there myself. Good luck
trying not to sleep tonight,” Sam threatened.

“You wouldn’t.”

“You and I both know I would.”

There was a moment of silence and then Crowley sighed long and deeply.

“Fine.”

Sam’s heart brimmed with joy.

“If anything goes wrong this is all on you. I’ll tell your dad you escaped.”

“I’ll get ready. Thank you, Crowley!”

The older man wasn’t prepared for the warm hug the prince gave him. It must
have been the first time Sam hugged him in a long time, since he was a young
and affectionate child. It did melt his heart a little.

“Don’t take too long. And exit through the back door. I don’t want anyone to
see us,” Crowley instructed.

“Right.”

“I’ll go get the keys.”


~ * ~


The sun’s last rays of light were shimmering on the ocean and the sound of
music filled the air. Sam had asked Crowley to drop him off at a safe distance
so he wouldn’t draw attention to himself by arriving in a limo. He had told
Crowley to wait by the car for half an hour, and in case Sam didn’t return
during this time—what if he couldn’t find Dean at the beach?—then Crowley was
to go back home and wait for him in the morning.

Sam was wearing jeans and a blue T-shirt. He was glad had chosen something
casual, because that was the kind of atmosphere he seemed to be walking into.

Right now, as Sam walked over soft sand, he admired every detail of the merry
crowd filling the place. It was his first time walking on the beach at night,
so Sam took a moment to just watch the waves breaking under the dim light
fading fast. His heart was full of expectation. Not that he planned on doing
anything he wasn’t supposed to, but for the next hours Sam could allow himself
to be normal, as any other regular teenager was allowed to feel. Even if he had
rules to go back to, tonight he was going to have fun. But first he needed to
find Dean.

Sam walked towards the bar and it wasn’t long before he saw him. That was Dean
in his element. The bartender was wearing dark blue jeans, his feet were bare,
and his white shirt had all the buttons in the front open. Sam could see it
from a distance when Dean turned around to give a drink to a couple of girls.
The sight of Dean’s tanned and lithe chest made Sam’s breath pick up.

Sam approached the counter very slowly when Dean turned around to wash some
glasses. The older man did not see him coming, but Dean’s friends did, and when
both Cas and Ben looked at Sam with evident surprise, the boy put a finger to
his lips to shush them. The two of them smiled with complicity and played
along.

“Hey, Dean,” Ben said. “Someone in here needs something.”

“Just a moment,” Dean said without turning around.

“I don’t think they’re willing to wait. You better come here right now,” Cas
teased.

“Just a moment…damn it,” Dean cursed under his breath. He put down the dishes,
dried his hands and turned around. “So, yeah, what can I get you?” Dean’s words
faded and his heart burst in his chest. His knees went weak and his pupils
dilated.

Sam was right there in front of him. Not dressed as an angel, and yet, with the
same heavenly appeal he always had on him.

Sam felt shy yet bold, and his eyes glimmered just as much as the ocean under
the light of the rising moon.

“How about the bartender? Can you get me that?”

“Sam!” Dean’s heart slammed against his chest and he slipped under the counter
swiftly.

Sam’s smile widened and his heart too raced when Dean wrapped his arms around
him and kissed him on the mouth.

“And half the people of the party are pissed right now,” Ben said playfully.

“How come you’re here? What happened?”

“Dean? Drinks…” Cas said when a couple of people stopped by the counter to
order.

“Can you guys cover for me for like fifteen minutes? I need a moment. I’ll be
right back,” Dean asked.

“Yeah, we got this, but don’t take too long. People are here for your
bartending skills, not mine,” Ben said and slipped under the counter to serve
the couple.

Sam watched the interaction and waited. The moment Dean turned his attention to
him once again Sam’s chest purred with joy.

“So?” Dean asked as he gently led Sam away from the bar and further into the
dancing crowd.

“My dad is not gonna be home tonight. I just found this out. He had something
to do elsewhere and he won’t be home until tomorrow evening.”

“That’s awesome…but I mean, did Crowley bring you here, does he know?” Of
course Dean was happy to have Sam there, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t a bit
concerned over the circumstances.

“He knows. It’s fine. I told him that if I didn’t head back to the car in
thirty minutes he should drive home and leave me be.”

Dean stopped on his tracks and looked into Sam’s eyes. “I assume that wasn’t an
easy conversation, bargaining with Crowley I mean.”

“No,” Sam chuckled. “I threatened to come here on my own if he didn’t drive
me.” Sam chuckled when Dean widened his eyes at that.

Dean felt proud of the boy. Sam had stood up for himself. Not against his dad,
but the fact that he had managed to get his bodyguard to bring him to a party
spoke volumes of how much Sam was changing.

“You are. And we’re gonna have a great time, I promise.”

Sam looked down at his hand when Dean took it in his. The older man took one
step closer and snaked an arm around Sam’s waist. Sam closed his eyes for the
kiss about to happen. It was soft and gentle, and a little bit of Dean’s fresh
breath entered Sam’s mouth and gave him goosebumps.

Dean’s lips caressed his for a bit longer, and then his tongue dove into Sam’s
mouth, tasting a territory already too familiar. The boy’s knees went weak at
the feeling, and his body tingled in response. When they pulled away for breath
they both looked dazzled.

“I have to get back to the bar for at least another two hours. That’ll be the
biggest crowd of the night. After that I could probably open a few bottles of
tequila, pass them around and close the bar. Will you wait for me?”

“You know I will. I still can’t believe I’m here.” Sam’s excitement coated his
every word.

Dean smiled and then looked over Sam’s shoulder in the distance. His smile
faded and Sam followed his gaze.

“What is it?” he asked.

From afar, they could see Crowley standing on an observation deck above the
beach, looking down on them.

“I’m fine, go away…” Sam murmured, even though Crowley couldn’t possibly hear
him what with the distance and noise.

But it wasn’t Samuel that Crowley had his eyes on. The boy’s protector was
looking at Dean, and Dean looked straight back at him.

Across the distance separating them, Dean nodded silently in Crowley’s
direction. Then, as if that was some sort of silent agreement, Crowley nodded
back, turned around and left.

“Is he gone?” Sam asked.

“He is,” Dean said. “It’s just you and me now.”

“Yeah, and all these people around us,” Sam chuckled.

“Right, but they don’t matter.” Dean’s green eyes were flashing with promises
and secrets, and Sam was yet again captive of his charm. “Come with me.”

Chapter 43



Back at the bar, Dean was preparing drinks for the young adults enjoying the
luau, while Cas, Benny and now Sam sat by the counter, watching him and talking
to him.

“So Sam, glad you could make it,” Ben said. “Pick your poison, Dean works magic
behind that counter.”

Sam looked at him with a blank, however eager to please expression, one that
Cas read quickly.

“He asked what you’re gonna drink,” he explained.

“Oh,” Sam laughed lightly and his cheeks flushed a little. “I don’t drink. I’m
only sixteen.”

“So are half of the people in here tonight. Dean!” Ben insisted. “Get your
boyfriend something to drink here.”

This time Sam’s cheeks flushed further and he felt all hot around his neck.
Specially when Dean turned around and focused on him.

They had seen each other so many times already, and yet, now that Sam saw Dean
in his element, being one of the centers of attention in that party, with lots
of flirting and swooning going on around him, Sam couldn’t help how amazing he
felt to have Dean’s love all to himself. Being that happy felt pretty much
surreal.

“So, what are you having, babe?” Dean asked and winked, and Sam’s heart almost
melted right then and there.

“Oh, I shouldn’t, you know. I really can’t…”

“C’mon, Prince!” Ben patted Sam’s back. He had already drunk a fair amount of
beer and was a little pushy.

“That’s alright,” Dean said before Sam could. “If you don’t want to, you don’t
need to. Okay?” Dean put his hand atop Sam’s and gave it a small squeeze.

“Thank you,” Sam said, grateful.

“Although you should celebrate your first luau. It is your first, isn’t it?”
Cas asked teasingly.

“Well, yes…”

“Tell you what,” Dean began. “I’ll make you a cocktail, one of my specialties.
You can take a sip, tell me if you like it or not. After all, I’m pretty
fucking good with fruit juice, alcohol and ice. Then, if you don’t want to, Cas
or Ben will finish it up for you. How does that sound?”

One sip sounded fine. One sip sounded fun.

“Okay,” Sam agreed.

Dean flashed one of his radiant, big smiles, and leaned over the counter to
plant a kiss to Sam’s lips.

“I can seriously see a group of girls giving Sam the death glare over there,”
Cas observed playfully.

“Oh, shut up,” Dean turned around to go and prepare the drink.

“He’s not joking, though,” Ben said. “Lots of people come to these parties to
see him. If truth be told Dean did do a hell of a job earning that reputation,”
he chuckled.

“Ben,” Cas elbowed him.

“Ouch! I’m kidding! Actually, I’m not, but Sam knows about it, doesn’t he? He
knows he’s going out with the Don Juan deMarco of Glasstown.”

“Oh, he knows,” Sam talked about himself in the third person and the two guys
laughed.

“He’s changed, though,” Cas said. “Because of you, you know. He’s not sleeping
around anymore.”

Sam listened to that and even though he was happy about it, part of him
couldn’t help but wonder whether there had been some hint of guilt-inducing
jealousy in Cas’s words. Perhaps Sam was the jealous one, he thought. Jealous
that Castiel got to know what it felt like to have Dean inside of him, making
love to him, and that he perhaps would never have that chance.

“Here it is. Have a go.”

Sam was glad for the interruption to his thoughts when Dean arrived with the
glass.

“It looks nice,” he said. The glass had an orange-red liquid inside, a few ice
cubes, a slice of orange decorating it and a thick red straw.

“Go ahead. Drink it.”

Sam complied. He took a sip and the citric, alcoholic taste filled his mouth.
It was sweet and refreshing, and hot and ice at the end, but not bad, not bad
at all. He took another sip, longer this time, under the appreciating pairs of
eyes around him.

“I like it. What is it?”

“Sex on the beach.”

“What?!” Sam asked that so fast and so quickly that some of the drink went to
his nose and he almost snorted part of it. That caused a round of laughter in
the older men with him.

Dean was still laughing while Sam looked at them with wide eyes and genuine
disbelief.

“It’s true, though. You’re having sex on the beach,” Dean said as he lowered
his voice and bit on his bottom lip. He took the straw and drank a sip, too.
“There, now you’re officially having sex on the beach with me.”

Sam’s cheeks burned and it felt as if there was a ring of fire around his
collarbone. He was certain that wasn’t entirely the alcohol’s fault.

“Oh, okay, children…this is getting awkward,” Ben chipped in.

“Is this drink really named that?” Sam asked.

“Here, have a look.” Dean took the drinks chart from the menu and put it before
Sam.

The boy went over it quickly, barely believing the long series of creative and
funny names.

“Blow job? Seriously?!” His eyes were so wide and he sounded so surprised that
he inadvertently caused another wave of laughter to erupt. “I mean…how does
that even…no, forget I asked,” he said quickly.

“The blow job is a funny one,” Ben said. “It’s a shot, and you’re supposed to
drink it straight from the glass, without using your hands.”

Sam frowned.

“You take the glass between your lips and turn the liquid inside your mouth,
all without the use of your hands,” Cas explained.

“That’s not possible,” Sam stated.

“Oohh… show him, Dean! Show him!”

“Well…” Dean opened a sassy little smile. “I’m not supposed to drink while I’m
working…” he was cut off by the sound of laughter. “Not too much anyway, but I
love a challenge. Besides…” he took a tiny glass from one of the shelves, put
it on the counter and took a bottle. “my blow jobs happen to be fucking
awesome,” he jested.

Sam’s knees might have given under his weight, but luckily for him, he was
sitting. His breath shortened and his blood pumped fast and hot to all parts of
his body, one in particular, at Dean’s words.

Cas wasn’t unaffected either. After all, he knew exactly what Dean was talking
about, and yes, he still remembered the best blow job he had ever gotten. He
shifted uncomfortably in the seat and adjusted himself discreetly.

Dean poured the drink into the shot glass and waved his hands for the music to
be turned up. There was some upbeat Latino song playing, and lots of people
turned around and stared at Dean when he started to dance behind the counter,
walking towards the drink, his white open shirt billowing with the wind, his
smooth, rippled chest like a chiseled Greek statue…and that face of a thousand
dreams smiling like the sun into the warm night.

Sam’s heart was thudding when Dean lowered his head and picked the glass
between his lips. In a swift movement, Dean lifted the glass up and drank it,
and put it back down all without touching the glass once. He then wiped his
mouth with the back of his hand at the loud sound of cheering and laughing from
the crowd.

“Told you I gave great blow jobs…” he lowered his voice and spoke right to
Sam’s face.

‘I’ll die tonight. I will’, Sam thought. When Dean went back to work, Sam
grabbed for the straw in his drink and didn’t stop until the glass was empty.

“Good. That will help you relax,” Ben said.

“I hope so,” Sam said softly and smiled. “In fact, I think I’ll have another
one…”

“Are you sure?”

“Not really, but I want it,” Sam chuckled, followed by the other two guys. If
he was going to get through tonight, he needed to relax some more, that was for
sure.

When the movement started to die down a little around the bar, a fire was lit
on the beach and there were many people drinking and dancing around it. The
predominant rhythm playing was still some sort of Latin beat with sexy melodies
and a lot of grinding. Sam had gone through three drinks by the time Dean was
able to slip away from the bar and join the party.

“Hey…I’m free now. Wanna dance?” he reached out his hands.

“Oh…no… I…I can’t dance, sorry.”

“Can’t dance? There’s no such a thing as can’t dance. C’mon, I’ll teach you.”

Sam might have protested more had he been in total control of his reason. Right
now, though, after the alcohol and the talking and the delightful atmosphere
all around, Sam felt less defensive and bolder, so he took Dean’s hands and was
surprised when he swayed a little.

“Are you okay there?” Dean smiled. “A little tipsy, maybe?”

Sam grinned. He looked around himself and it felt like there was a two-second
delay in the way his sight adjusted to the scenes moving. He felt light and
happy, so yes, he supposed he was a bit drunk indeed.

“I guess so. I feel fine, though.”

“Good. That’s great, but no more drinks for you, alright?”

Sam laughed and nodded.

“C’mon.”

Dean led them towards the dancing people. The moment Dean was there, by the
fire, he lost his shirt and pulled Sam closer, so the boy was right there
pressed up against his chest. Even though Sam’s mind wasn’t as sharp, he could
still see the jealous looks people shot in their direction every now and then.
Yes, that was the bartender that had slept with probably most of the people in
there, and no, he didn’t have eyes for anyone tonight because his green eyes
were locked into Sam’s, and Sam fell over and over and harder in love, and he
couldn’t even describe the exhilarating feeling taking him over.

For one hour or so they danced, sang and kissed, and the booze in Sam’s
bloodstream made him confident and easygoing, and he had never had so much fun
in his life. He wished so badly that night could never, ever end. Dean had eyes
for him and only him, and everything was perfect in a way Sam never imagined
life could be.

At some moment, Sam didn’t know what song was playing, but there was a guitar
and some words in Spanish, he felt Dean turn him around so his back was pressed
to Dean’s chest. Then, as they were like that, Dean held on to his hips and
they moved together, like one body, grinding slowly to the beat of the song.
Dean’s larger hands guided Sam’s hips, and the boy let his neck fall back into
the crook of Dean’s neck and shoulder only to leave himself vulnerable to the
shower of hot kisses Dean planted along his neck. When Dean kissed Sam’s
shoulder, right on his weak spot, the boy moaned feebly, a sound only Dean
heard, and the older man responded by grinding himself against Sam’s buttocks,
letting the boy feel the tent in his pants.

Sam felt himself harden when Dean pressed his erection against him. His body
was warm and disobedient, and Sam just wanted to close his eyes and dance
forever, dance until there was no one else at that beach, dance until Dean was
taking him and the world was nothing but the two of them.

“Dean… I don’t think I can dance…” Sam smiled coyly. He turned around and
looked into Dean’s eyes with a mix of innocence and lust that drove Dean
insane.

“The fuck if I care…” he licked his lips. “C’mere.”

Sam let himself be guided towards someplace else. Dean pulled Sam away from the
dancing and singing and to the back of the bar, where there were fewer lights
and a few couples making out in the distance.

He pushed the boy against the back wall of the bar and ravished Sam’s mouth
until he was squirming, trapped between Dean’s body and the wall.

“Dean…” Sam breathed throatily.

“God, I want you so fucking much…” Dean groaned. He pulled Sam’s head to the
side and buried his nose into his neck, breathing and blowing into the skin.

“Hmm…” Sam throbbed in his pants. He felt his body hot and languid, and right
now Dean could do whatever he wanted to him because Sam could hardly care.

Sam tugged at Dean’s hair and bit back a moan when Dean’s leg rubbed against
his erection. “Oh…” Sam gasped. “Dean… I…God, I…”

“Shhh….it’s okay.” Dean pulled away and took a series of long, calming breaths.
“It’s okay…” but it wasn’t. It took everything he had to resist the urge to
undress Sam and fuck the shit out of him right then and there.

“Let’s go to your place.”

“Yeah. Let’s do that.”

Dean pulled Sam by the hand and when they were walking past the bar they ran
into Castiel.

“Are you leaving already?” Cas looked at the way they were holding hands, both
looking disheveled and all worked up.

“We’re going home. Can you cover for me? Close the bar in an hour or so?”

“Sure…are you guys okay?”

“We’re great.” Dean smiled and patted Castiel in the back. “See ya!”

Sam could only laugh and giggle and stumble his way to Dean’s shack.
Thankfully, the older man didn’t live too far. By the time Dean unlocked the
door and let themselves in, they were already making out and their hands were
all over the place as Sam’s shoes and socks came off.

Sam helped Dean out of his pants and let Dean remove his shirt. When they
collapsed in bed, Dean was wearing nothing but underwear as he crawled on top
of Sam, who was still wearing his jeans and nothing else by now.

Dean pinned Sam to the bed and settled between the boy’s thighs. They kissed
open-mouthedly and hotly, with Sam’s body responding beautifully to Dean’s
every knowing touch.

“Dean…” Sam could feel his arousal dancing with his clouded thoughts. He wanted
it so bad, he was aching all over. “Let’s do it… I want to. Fuck me.”

“Fuck…” Dean shuddered. His cock pulsed and he bit down hard on the lust
spiraling out of control. Then he lowered his mouth to Sam’s ear and whispered
softly. “I can’t baby…”

The words caught Sam by surprise. “Can’t?”

“Of course not. You’re drunk. There’s no way I’m going to take advantage of
that.”

“But I want it. I want it so bad.”

“Of course you do. And so do I…” Dean explained. He pulled back a little to let
them both breathe better. “But when you wake up tomorrow and regret it it’ll
kill me. So no. That’s not how I’m going to take your virginity, not when
you’re all drunk and horny.”

Sam looked into Dean’s eyes and there was something so tender and sincere there
that Sam knew it was important, and he wanted to think about it, but right now
he couldn’t.

Even though what Dean said made sense, Sam was still impossibly aroused and
painfully hard.

“I can still make you come, though…” Dean said seductively.

“I want to see you. Let me,” Sam spoke suddenly, taking control. He pushed Dean
out of the bed until Dean was standing in front of him, then Sam reached out
his hands and hooked his fingers on the waistband of Dean’s underwear.

Dean’s eyes clouded and he nodded.

When Sam removed the garment he was met with a fierce erection, standing at
attention against Dean’s taut abdomen.

“Sam? What are you…?” Dean began to ask when Sam pushed him back until Dean
fell on a chair inside the room. The boy then crawled between the v of Dean’s
legs and groped Dean’s thighs possessively.

“What was the name of that drink again?” Sam’s question was barely above a
whisper as he leaned closer towards the shiny tip of Dean’s cock.

“Sam no…you don’t have to,” Dean tried to stop him, but Sam slapped his hand
away and moved closer. “Sam, seriously. You don’t need to, you shouldn’t…”

Dean fell shut and gasped when Sam licked the head of his cock.

It had been so long since Dean had last felt a tongue licking at his dick that
it was like a hot current of electricity had just shot through him and Dean
bucked a little.

“Fuck, Sammy…”

Salty. It tasted salty and warm against his tongue, and Sam liked it. But more
than the taste of it, he liked the power he suddenly had over Dean. The older
man was panting and with every heavy breath his cock came closer to Sam’s
waiting mouth. The boy licked again, and this time he let the tip into his
mouth and sucked around it tentatively.

“Fuck…” Dean whispered.

“I’m not supposed to use my hands, right?” Sam teased right before he took Dean
as far as he could into his mouth and rubbed his tongue against the velvety
skin.

“Hmm…” Dean’s hands went for Sam’s hair, holding it tightly, but not forcing.
“Shit…holy fuck….”

“You have a dirty mouth,” Sam chuckled before he went back to sucking. He
didn’t have any skills or hints, but he he supposed his instincts were kicking
in and teaching him pretty much all he needed to do.

For the next minutes there wasn’t much sound inside the shack. There were the
loud gasps and the cursing that flew off Dean’s mouth, and the licking and
slurping noises as Sam licked and sucked the throbbing dick in his mouth.

When Dean could no longer hold back, he moaned and his balls drew closer.

“Sam… fuck, you need to stop.”

“No…”

“Sam…” Dean tried to warn him. The boy wasn’t prepared for what was coming
next, and Dean didn’t want to scare him or make him do something he wasn’t
ready to. So he let Sam suck him off for a few more seconds, holding his orgasm
back as much as he could, but when he lost the battle and fell over the edge,
Dean pushed Sam back and fisted his cock until he came hard, shooting white
spurts of come all over his hand.

Sam lost his balance with the push and landed on his ass, watching, transfixed,
as Dean jerked himself to a shuddering orgasm.

When Dean’s panting calmed down a little and he opened his eyes again, Sam
crawled closer with a semi-pout on his lips.

“Why did you push me away?”

“I didn’t want you to swallow my come. You don’t have to.”

“Why not? Does it taste bad?”

“It isn’t good.”

Sam narrowed his eyes suspiciously at him and Dean caved and laughed. He placed
a cum coated finger on top of Sam’s lips and smeared a bit to prove his point.

Sam licked at his lips and made a face he couldn’t help.

“Told you,” Dean chuckled.

“Oh…sorry,” Sam felt embarrassed.

“No need to.” Dean slid to the floor and pulled Sam into a kiss.

The boy was still desperately hot and his cock oozed when Dean tongue fucked
his mouth.

“Let me do the same to you. Let me show you how good my blow job is…”

Then, suddenly, it was like a small spark of lucidity hit him, because Sam
shied away and seemed unsure.

“I…I don’t know…”

Sam’s hesitance to let himself go and feel something good hurt Dean’s heart. It
was not fair and not right.

“It’s okay, just relax…” Dean went for the button in Sam’s jeans but the boy
tensed visibly. It was true that the alcohol was fading, but there was still
enough in his blood to make Sam eager, just not enough to make him completely
oblivious. “Are you afraid to let me see you?” Dean asked softly, cooingly.

“A…a little.” Sam breathed quickly, part arousal and part sheer nervousness.

“That’s okay. How about if I just touch you, then? Hm? I don’t have to see you,
I’ll just slip my hand inside…” Dean worked the button open and his fingertips
caressed the sensitive skin below Sam’s navel, teasing and begging to go lower.

“You said your dad won’t be home until tomorrow night, so he won’t know,
right?”

“I don’t know…” Sam didn’t know how long the hormones would linger in his blood
if he came, but he was very close to not caring.

“How about you think about yourself and what you want now?”

Sam nodded, he was too hot and needy.

“Is it okay, then? Can I?” Dean whispered hotly.

Sam’s cock throbbed violently with expectation. He was helpless by now so he
nodded. The moment Dean’s hand went underneath Sam’s underwear and his palm
came in full contact with the boy’s hard-on, the boy fell forward into Dean’s
arms and moaned.

“Oh, God…” Sam shuddered. “Hmmm…” His hips bucked and his spine arched when
Dean closed his fingers around his dick.

“Shhh…it’s okay…”

“Dean…” Sam’s voice sounded pained, as if it was too good for Sam to handle.
There was suffering and lust dripping from Sam’s pleas, and Dean drank them
eagerly.

“Do you want me to stop? I don’t want you to be upset like the last time…tell
me if it’s okay…”

It probably wasn’t. Sam would have to figure out a way to cover that up, but
right now it didn’t matter and right now he didn’t care.

“Please, Dean…please…” Sam’s hips pushed into Dean’s hand, desperately seeking
more contact, and Dean’s response was to stroke him faster, increasing the
friction. “Hmmm….” Sam’s fingers tightened into fists and his lips hung open in
a silent cry of pleasure.

Dean studied every detail of Sam’s climax building, and his hand moved faster
inside Sam’s underwear. The boy’s cock felt swollen and thick against his palm
and Dean was about to get hard all over again.

“Oh…I…I’m…. OH!” Sam gasped and shuddered. His head fell between his arms and
his hips surged forward as his orgasm burst from him and left him boneless to
fall against Dean’s chest and within his arms.

Dean caught him and held him as every wave of residual pleasure rippled through
him. Sam clutched to Dean for a long time, his head clouded with the aftermath
of coming, his body tingling and calm now.

“Sam…are you okay? Sammy?” As Sam didn’t seem to move, Dean cupped the boy’s
chin and broke the embrace to look into his eyes.

Sam opened his eyes and yawned, and Dean smiled with relief to see he was
alright.

“Can we go to bed now? I’m so sleepy.”

“Yes. Yes we can, love,” Dean said before he kissed Sam’s forehead lightly.

Chapter 44



When Sam woke up the sun was already high in the sky. He opened his eyes into
tiny little slits and closed them again when the clarity of the day hurt his
sight. The moment he shut his eyes he groaned and his head throbbed.  It took
him a moment longer to remember why he wasn’t home and what had happened the
previous night.

“Morning,” Dean said from the kitchen counter where he was making coffee. “Rise
and shine…” he chuckled when Sam groaned and buried his head into the pillow.

The boy blinked a few times and sat up in bed. He looked at Dean with a
disheveled hair and confused look, and little did he know how adorable that was
to the older man watching him.

“How do you feel?”

At first the smell of coffee was delicious, but the moment Sam focused on his
stomach there was some twisting and turning inside, and he rushed to the
bathroom in a heartbeat.

“Sam?”

From outside, Dean heard the sound of retching and shook his head, not without
some amusement.

The moment that liquid was out of his stomach in an angry flow towards the
toilet, Sam felt immediately better, lighter and relieved. He got up, washed
his face and mouth and looked at himself in the mirror.

“Is it okay if I use your toothbrush?” he asked from the bathroom.

“Are you asking if I’ll be disgusted if you use it?” Dean replied as he sipped
his coffee.

“Well, yeah.”

“Did you forget what else you had in your mouth last night?”

Sam was glad he was in the bathroom and out of sight, because the memory of
giving Dean a blow job came rushing back and made him turn pink in the cheeks.

“Uh…” he didn’t know what to say. From outside the bathroom he could hear Dean
laughing.

“And I kissed you afterwards, remember? So no, I don’t mind. Go ahead,” he
laughed softly.

“Okay…” Sam shrugged off his embarrassment and brushed his teeth.

When he was done, he walked back to bed and looked at Dean.

“Coffee now? It’ll help you feel better.”

“My head is killing me.”

“That’s called a hangover. Coffee will help with that, too.”

“Then yes. And I’ll have an aspirin if you have it.”

Sam went closer, poured himself a cup of coffee and took the medicine Dean
offered.

“Is that because of the drinks?”

“Yep. And if you don’t eat something while you’re drinking you get drunk faster
and will feel even worse later.”

“I knew there would be a consequence for feeling that happy and having that
much fun,” Sam joked.

“Hey…” Dean frowned. “Relax, okay? You’re not being punished for having fun.
Drinking is like this. You have to learn what your limit is. Since it was the
first time you drank it’s natural you’d overdo it a little. I mean, not that
you won’t overdo it when you learn your boundaries, but still…you know what I
mean.”

“Yeah, I guess.”

Sam took the cup and sat on the edge of the bed.

They sipped the hot beverage in silence for a moment, then Dean put down his
cup and sat right next to Sam in bed.

“Other than the hangover, how do you feel about last night?”

Sam finished his coffee, put it on the floor carefully by the bed and smiled.

“It was great. Thank you. I really enjoyed it. I had no idea the beach could be
so much fun at night.”

“I’m happy to hear that. Really, I am. But what about the other part of the
night…” Dean had been worried since he woke up. He had enjoyed the night so
fucking much, but he had been afraid that Sam might wake up regretting it.

“The part where I gave you a blow job?” Sam felt that delicious ring of fire
around his throat.

“Yeah. That part.”

A good chill spread up and down Sam’s spine and he gave a somewhat coy smile.

“You tell me. How was it?”

“The blow job?”

“Yeah. How was it? You’re the expert here, so tell me, was it too bad?”

“Are you shitting me?” Dean arched his eyebrows. “That was fucking awesome. So
damn hot…I loved it.”

Sam’s heart raced at getting the approval he had sought.

“I didn’t know exactly what to do…but you seemed to be enjoying it so I just
went along with it.”

“And it felt really good.”

“Probably not the best fucking blow job ever…” Sam mocked Dean’s boast from the
previous night and that earned him a playful slap across his thigh. “Hey!”

“Shut up. My blow jobs are awesome, and you might have agreed with me if only
you had let me show you last night.”

Dean was smiling, but it faded and he became serious as he studied the younger
boy. “It’s okay, right? What we did last night? I don’t wanna get you in
trouble.”

“It’s fine. I mean…it isn’t, but I’ll figure something out.” His dad was coming
back later today, and Sam knew for a fact he would be visiting his room. Not
only had Sam found release, he had also drunk too much, which meant the taste
of his blood was likely to be a mess. ‘Not now,’ he told himself. ‘Don’t think
about it now. I’ll get Crowley to help’.

“Good. I really liked touching you, you know that? You felt so hot and so hard
against my skin…”

Sam took a deep breath and licked his lips. His body stiffened a little and he
looked away.

“Do you remember what you asked me last night?” Dean questioned. “When we first
got here and were kissing in bed?”

“Yes,” Sam did. His heart throbbed at the memory.

“You asked me to take you. You wanted us to have sex.”

Suddenly, the fast rhythm of Sam’s heart was not only mere excitement, it was
also a bit of distress.

“I know…I remember...”

“How would you be feeling now if we had done it?”

Sam thought for a moment.

“I…thank you for not doing it. I mean…I wouldn’t be mad or anything if it had
happened, because I really wanted it, and I know I asked for it!...but….”

“But now it’s different, isn’t it? You’re sober now, and it feels different.”

“Right,” Sam agreed. “I don’t think I would’ve regretted it…not completely
anyway.”

“But part of you would be regretting it now. You weren’t ready. Sometimes we
decide things when we’re drunk and it’s not usually the best for us. Sometimes
it is, but you just have to wait until you sober up to see whether you feel the
same way.”

“Thank you again. You didn’t need to hold back. I had given you permission.”

“I’m not gonna hold you to your drunken word, Sammy. When you want to have sex
with me you’re gonna let me know without any alcohol speaking for you. I wanna
see it in your eyes that it’s what you really want.”

Sam was quiet for a moment. There seemed to be a shadow in his eyes, something
that was quickly gone and barely there, and Dean frowned when he saw it.

“What is it? What’s wrong?” he asked.

“Nothing,” Sam shrugged it off.

“C’mon…what were you thinking just now?”

Sam sighed.

“That I don’t think I deserve you.”

“What? Why?”

“You’re too good, that’s all…” Sam was honest. He had never experienced someone
take his feelings into such consideration as Dean did. It felt amazing, but
also unreal.

“That’s nothing, Sam. I respect you, that’s all. You shouldn’t feel special
because of this. It’s the least people need to give you, you know…respect.”

Sam went silent again. He looked down at his hands and realized he was feeling
a little shame, though he couldn’t quite explain why.

“Dean…” he spoke up, eventually.

“Hm?”

“I need to get going. I gotta shower and then…I just have to figure out what to
do.”

“Are you sure you’re not in trouble?” Dean went closer and let his hand rest on
Sam’s knee.

“It’s fine.”

“We can always run away, you know that.”

Sam scoffed with amusement.

“I mean it. Just say the word and we’ll go.”

“And leave it all behind? What about your dad? Your friends?”

“They’ll survive without me.”

Sam smiled simply because he couldn’t not to. Dean’s green eyes were flashing
with promises and love, and just looking at him could make Sam feel warm
inside.

“I love you,” he said.

Dean kissed him. It was soft and sweet, unlike the passionate kissing from last
night.

“I love you, too.”


~ * ~


Dean walked him back home until they found Crowley waiting in the car on the
street behind the mansion.

“Take care,” Dean said and kissed Sam’s lips softly, something that Crowley
pretended he didn’t see.

“You too. Thank you for the night.”

Dean smiled reluctantly, trying to hide the sadness he felt. Every time he had
to say goodbye to Sam and watch him go back to his home it bothered him like
hell. Dean wasn’t joking when he told Sam he would run off with him. It pained
him watching the boy go back to that unhealthy lifestyle of his without
anything Dean could do to help.

The problem was that Sam wasn’t ready to accept help, because he didn’t really
understand he had a problem.

“See you.” Sam said and got into the car.

Dean watched him go, turned around and headed back home. He hoped, as he always
did when they said goodbye, that Sam would be alright.



~ * ~


Inside the mansion, Sam went straight up his room and was picking up a few
clothes when Crowley spoke to him.

“You smell like pot and booze.”

Sam looked at Crowley silently and kept choosing clothes to put on.

“Seriously, Prince. What the hell happened?”

Sam sighed. “I drank. A few cocktails, that’s all. I didn’t smoke anything.”

Crowley followed Sam when he went into the bathroom and turned on the water in
the bathtub.

Sam undressed himself slowly, not minding Crowley’s presence. He had grown used
to having the bodyguard there at all times.

“By the way,” Sam began. “You might wanna tell my father that I had a wet dream
last night.”

“Wait, what?” Crowley’s eyes widened with alarm and he stepped towards the boy.

Sam took off his underwear and wrapped a towel around his midsection.

“It’s exactly as you heard. Tell my dad I had a wet dream so he won’t come to
my room tonight. That will save us both some trouble.”

“Wait, Prince!” Crowley closed his hand around Sam’s arm. “Just hang in there.
Does this mean what I think it does? Did you and the mechanic’s son…” Crowley’s
heart fell. “Oh God. Oh, no. Tell me you didn’t, I can’t believe it. I let you
go out one night and then this happens! What am I supposed to do, what—”

“Chill out!” Sam said. He wasn’t feeling as calm as he pretended to be. His
heart was racing and he was nervous about the whole situation, but he refused
to let Crowley get to his head and make him feel bad for the amazing night he
had spent in Dean’s company. “Just tell him I had a wet dream. It’s alright.”

“No, it isn’t! I told you I wouldn’t lie for you. I can’t believe you… For
heaven’s sake, did you…?!”

“No!” Sam pulled himself free. He turned around and turned the water off,
pretending to focus on that for a moment.

“Prince? Did you do it? Because if you did then telling your father you had a
wet dream will only postpone the inevitable, and if you did then I need to
know…!”

“I didn’t, alright?” Sam replied angrily. “I didn’t have sex. I had a few
drinks, we fooled around…”

Crowley cringed at that.

“I got off,” Sam said, and he hated how dirty it felt from the way Crowley
looked at him. It hadn’t been dirty or wrong; it had felt so good and Dean had
been so loving… It wasn’t fair the way everything got distorted in his life.
“I’m still a virgin, so stop bitching me. Now, can you just please tell my
father I had a dream? Unless you wanna help me explain why my blood tastes the
way it does when he visits me tonight.”

Crowley released the breath he had been holding and looked at Sam with evident
disapproval in his eyes.

“You know you were not supposed to. I trusted you to go there, have some fun,
maybe dance a little…but of course you had to go and let that horny Don Juan
get his paws all over you.”

“Crowley, shut up. You don’t get to tell me how to live my life.”

“Oh, but I do. I do, Prince. Because you see, you’re asking me to lie for you,
and I don’t think you realize what this means for me. I don’t think you
understand what it means to work for a man such as your father and to stand
right before him and lie. If anything was to happen to you, anything, under my
watch, then God forbid what your dad would do to me…”

Sam felt something boil inside of him, some sort of hot white rage he barely
understood at all.

“So what you’re saying is that you’re afraid of my father, is that it?”

“Well…” Crowley frowned a little at the question. “Yes, of course. I’d be a
fool not to be.”

“You’re saying you can’t lie on my behalf because you’re afraid of what my dad
might do to you…” Sam took a couple of steps towards Crowley until they were
just a few inches apart.

Even though Sam was a lot younger, Crowley was caught off guard by the
realization that the boy he was used to looking after was already taller than
him.

“Your dad is a vampire, so yeah, of course I’m afraid of him…”

“I understand that. But what you fail to understand is that my father is not
the only one you should be afraid of.” Sam’s eyes were burning and his chest
felt hot.

“Oh, really? Who else should I be afraid of then?”

“Me.”

“What?” Crowley scoffed despite himself, the sound an intrigued mix of amused
and nervous. “Of you? Why’s that?”

“You keep telling yourself that I’m just this boy you look after, just this
obedient and predictable little boy you’ve grown used to, but the truth is, you
don’t know me, Crowley. You have no idea what I’m capable of.”

Crowley was much more taken aback by the fiery resolution in the boy’s eyes
than by the words themselves.

“You’re in this house to serve me, and you will do as I say. Don’t you dare
betray me, Crowley, don’t you dare.” Sam didn’t know where that was coming
from, but he couldn’t stop any of it. “You think my father could harm you
because you know what he can do, but you know nothing about me. I swear you
don’t. No one does. Not you, not my father, not Bobby, not Dean. No one really
knows me, hell, I don’t even know myself.”

There was some kind of light burning hotly inside of Sam, some kind of bravery
much more ancient than the boy could understand, carrying a strength thick with
mysticism and power. Sam didn’t know, and neither did Crowley, but that was the
warrior rumbling through his veins like thunder, as if letting go had stirred
something deep inside him that Sam had never felt before.

“But you know what, Crowley?”

“…what?”

“That’s gonna change. I know myself better today than I did yesterday, and this
isn’t going to stop. You can’t stop me, and dad can’t either. I’m still
learning who I am, and I swear to you that I’m someone you should be afraid
of.”

Crowley swallowed hard and waited.

“So Crowley?”

“Yes, Prince?”

“Will you please tell my father I had a wet dream this morning?” Sam softened
his voice.

“Yes…all right, Prince.” Crowley bowed respectfully. He wasn’t sure what had
just happened. Rationally, he wasn’t afraid of the boy he had taken care of
since he was a baby, but then again, there had been a spark in Sam’s eyes,
something that wasn’t there before, and something that inspired if not fear, at
least sincere respect, and Crowley wasn’t willing to mess with that spark.

“Thank you.”

Crowley was about to pull a chair and sit as Sam took his bath when the boy
spoke again.

“Oh, and Crowley? Get the hell out. I want some privacy.”

Crowley narrowed his eyes and his lips twitched as if he would say something,
but in the end he simply nodded and left.

When Sam found himself alone, he took a deep breath and felt the shaky
aftermath of his words.

He got into the warm water and let his muscles relax little by little. That
flame that had been burning bright just a few minutes before was fading and Sam
felt insecure and afraid. He didn’t know why he had said all those things, or
how the hell he had summoned enough courage to stand up to Crowley the way he
had. It was like Sam wasn’t himself at that moment.

He did feel like he was someone else entirely.

Respect, Dean had said.

It felt good saying all those things. Nonetheless, saying them to Crowley was
entirely different from picturing himself saying the same to his father. Sam
wanted to find the same bravery if his dad’s yellow eyes fixed on him and
demanded things from him.

Just the thought of his father, however, made Sam shudder and pull his legs up
against his chest. It was painfully clear that whatever confidence Sam was
discovering within was still frail and hiding in the maze of his thoughts,
afraid to come out and fight.

“This isn’t going to stop…” Sam made the whispery promise to himself.

     Guys, hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and I wish you all a great
     New Year. Thank you for your feedback <3 <3 <3
 

Chapter 45


When Azazel returned from his trip, he was informed by Crowley of Samuel’s wet
dream, and thus he did not pay the boy any visit that night. The erotic dreams
were becoming more frequent, and Azazel knew it was to be expected what with
the boy being sixteen and all the hormones traveling through his bloodstream.
He also realized that the dreams weren’t the only consequence of Samuel’s
coming of age. The boy seemed a little different, too. It wasn’t anything too
obvious or that concerned Azazel at the moment, but the thing was that the
prince was showing signs of the warrior streak living in his blood.

It was nothing so glaring or worrisome, but every now and then the boy would
meet Azazel’s eyes with a fierceness that the vampire wasn’t used to seeing in
Sam’s usually docile eyes. Sometimes it was a curt answer, a touch Samuel
avoided, or just the sulky attitude teenagers were known to dish out. In the
end, though, whatever feelings stirred inside the boy, Samuel continued to be
very obedient and he still respected the rules.

‘It’s this bloody puberty’, Azazel thought sadly. It was, unfortunately, only
natural that eventually Samuel tried to test the boundaries of his father’s
control over him. That was why, every now and then, Azazel needed to remind the
prince of where exactly he stood in their relationship.

It was three a.m. when Azazel ordered Crowley out of Samuel’s room and closed
the door so he could be alone with the sleeping boy.

Sam’s room was under a light shade of grey. Azazel walked towards the bed and
for a moment stood there, watching the Prince’s peaceful breathing pattern.

Slowly, he loosened his tie and undid the cufflinks at his wrists. Azazel let
the suit slide off his arms and unbuttoned the first three buttons on his white
shirt. When he was comfortable, he moved fast and latched on to Samuel’s bare
neck, his fangs sinking in deep into the boy’s carotid artery, the sweetest
spot.

Sam’s eyes burst open and he gasped, startled. After a few seconds of
paralyzing shock, he started to fight the man on top of him before he even
understood what was going on. The first piercing feeling was of fear, and when
it squeezed his heart it made adrenaline travel his veins and cause his blood
to pump faster into Azazel’s mouth.

“Dad?” Sam asked when he began to understand what was happening. His father was
drinking from him in the middle of the night. “Dad, please…” Sam tried to get
out of the tight grip on him, but Azazel just tightened his hold on the boy,
grabbing both of his wrists and keeping them on each side of Sam’s head. “Dad,
you’re hurting me…” Sam squirmed. He didn’t know what was happening. Why was
his dad feeding so aggressively? What had happened? “Please stop.” Sam’s
squirming turned into struggling, but Azazel didn’t loosen his grip. He fed
long and hard, his weight crushing Sam to the bed, his fangs making the magical
blood fill his mouth swiftly.

Sam’s struggles died down quickly. His dad was feeding off his carotid artery,
and in a few seconds the boy was too weak to fight against the much stronger
hands holding him down. When Sam gave in and submitted, Azazel let go of his
neck and licked his bloody lips with evident pleasure.

Sam blinked slowly as his dad still held him down, now with much less strength.

“What’s going on, Dad?” he asked feebly, his blood pressure low.

“Nothing, sweetie. Just missed you too much. I could not wait to taste you. Now
off with these clothes…”

“Dad, no…” Sam protested weakly when Azazel began to undress him. “I need to
sleep…”

“Shhh…then go to sleep, my sweet Prince… It won’t be long.”

Sam didn’t want any of that. He hated what was about to happen to him without
him being able to stop any of it.

“Dad…”

“Shhh…” Azazel stared at the naked young body and beamed at Samuel’s beauty.
“It’s okay…go back to sleep. You know daddy will keep you safe.”

Azazel fondled Sam’s thighs and arms, then he picked up the boy’s wrist and
sank his teeth once again.

Sam made a small sound of protest and tried to pull his wrist back, but Azazel
was stronger and determined to go on, and there was really nothing Sam could do
to prevent that night assault from happening. In a few more minutes, the boy
gave up altogether, his eyes rolled back and he fell back into sleep.

When Crowley returned to the room, about an hour later, he stood before the bed
and his heart thudded rapidly. Sam was lying naked and spread in bed, sleeping
heavily as blood dried on his neck, wrist and thighs.

Crowley swallowed hard. Azazel had never before left the boy to be found in
that state. It was like he wanted Crowley to see what he had done, like he was
marking his territory all over the kid.

‘This is so sick,’ Crowley thought. Then he shook his head quickly and told
himself for the hundredth time it was none of his business.

He went inside the bathroom and took a wash cloth to wipe blood off Sam's skin.
When he was done, Crowley pulled the blankets on top of the boy’s body and sat
quietly in his usual position in the corner of the bedroom.


~ * ~


The next time they met they went straight to Dean’s shack by the beach. It had
been over a week since they had last seen each other, and they needed some time
alone, regardless of the consequences. Dean closed the door and they started
kissing almost instantly.

Sam didn’t know how far things would go, but he would allow himself to indulge
a little. He didn’t think he could get away with having release, not today, but
things were not yet there. Besides, Dean knew now, he understood Sam’s
situation, so Sam wouldn’t be alone when he decided they should stop.

Right now, though, Sam didn’t want to stop. He missed Dean, he missed being in
his arms, feeling his soft lips caress his mouth, his jawline, his neck. Sam
shut his eyes and shuddered with pleasure when Dean’s lips sucked on his neck
as his hands roamed over his back.

The feeling was hot and delicious, and Sam was looking forward to that sweet
torture when he felt Dean pull away rather abruptly.

The mouth on his skin was gone, and so were the hands all over his body. Sam
opened his eyes and found a very distressed Dean looking right at him.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“You tell me what’s wrong.”

Sam frowned. “I don’t understand.”

“Has Daddy been feeding on you again?” Dean sounded bitter, more than he had
meant to, but the jealousy that took him over when he saw those puncture marks
on Sam’s neck was pretty irrational. Dean saw those red fang marks and his
blood filled with white hot anger.

Sam’s hand flew to his neck and he felt at the place where his father had fed
the previous night.

“Are those still there?”

“Oh, they are.” Dean didn’t want to sound so curt, but he couldn’t seem to
control his reaction. This had been bothering him for a long time now, the fact
that Sam’s weird dad drank the boy’s blood. The more Dean tried to push it off
his mind for the sake of the promise he had made to Sam, the more he thought
about it. And now, upon seeing the bite marks, Dean felt something turn in his
stomach and set his insides afire.

“I’m sorry.”

“Why do you apologize for him? This isn’t right, you know…”

“Dean, please…” Sam thought of the previous night. He didn’t understand why his
dad had been so dominant over him, and he certainly wasn’t happy about it, but
all he wanted was to forget it and enjoy the time in Dean’s company.

“No, Sam…we’ve got to talk about it, you know. I’ve been trying really hard to
respect the way you feel about your father, and I haven’t told anyone, even
though it’s hard as fuck to keep this to myself.”

“Well, thank you. But you did promise, remember?”

“I know, baby…” Dean softened his voice. “And you can trust me, but that
doesn’t mean it doesn’t kill me inside to watch you go through all this as I
stand here and do nothing.”

“You’re not ‘doing nothing’,” Sam said. “You’re being there for me…” he tried
to touch Dean but the older man moved away and started pacing around the place.

“What good am I if I can’t help you?”

“Dean…”

“No, seriously…what kind of boyfriend sits and watches as his lover is sucked
dry by his own dad?...”

“Why do you say it like that?” Sam cringed, and Dean could see he had hurt the
boy.

It still shocked and upset Dean that Sam did not realize the extent to which he
was being abused by his father. The boy had said before that he wasn’t a
victim, but those fresh red marks spoke differently. The fact was that Sam was
a victim of his life, but Dean didn’t know how to make him see that. Every time
he brought up the subject they ended up arguing as Sam grew defensive and Dean
frustrated.

“Because I believe that we should talk about it, that you should see things for
what they really are.”

“Dean, we’ve talked about this before. You have no idea what it’s like for me.”

“Did he ask permission this time?”

“What?”

“Did he at least ask or did he just sink his teeth into you in the middle of
the night, as you told me he’s already done?”

Sam swallowed hard. He thought about the previous night and his muscles grew
tense. He hated having that argument. He didn’t want to talk about those things
with Dean. Talking about them made it feel so wrong, and Sam felt so ashamed
and lonely…

“Is your dad perfect?”

“What? Why?”

“Is he?” Sam insisted.

“Sam…” Dean sighed. “It’s not like that. It’s different.”

“Is he?”

“Of course not.”

“Mine isn’t either. I’m sure your dad has different issues. Every family has
problems, Dean…” Sam tried to reason with him.

“But Sam…” how could he make Sam see that whatever flaws John Winchester had,
they were nothing compared to what Azazel did to him.

“But what? Can you tell me, in all honesty, that your dad never hurt you?”

Dean thought of all the times he had picked up his drunken father off the
floor. Of course he had. The emotional scarring of having to grow up fast to
take care of his dad and himself had left its marks deep within Dean’s
personality.

“That picture you have in the living room,” Sam went on, his voice softer after
Dean’s meaningful silence. “That’s your mom, right?”

Dean blinked a few times as he wrapped his head around the sudden change of
topic. “Yeah, why…?”

“What was her name?”

Dean’s heart ached. “Mary.”

“You were very young when she died, you told me.”

“Yeah.”

“Do you remember her at all?”

“A little,” Dean confessed. “I remember how she would cut off the crusts when
she made me sandwhiches…” Dean’s mouth twitched with a sad smile.

Sam smiled, too.

“You have a few memories of her. I have nothing, Dean. I know nothing about my
mother, I don’t even know what she looked like. My dad is all I have. I know
that a lot of what happens is hard to explain, and I don’t like it either, but
he’s had to raise me on his own, and through everything he’s kept me safe. Even
when others drank from me, no harm ever befell me. I gotta trust him.”

“But—”

“No buts…please,” Sam begged. He took Dean’s hand and squeezed it. “I have to
be back in an hour or so. Can we please just enjoy being together?” Sam could
see Dean’s anger dissolving in response to his pleading. “Please…” he cooed,
knowing that right now Dean had already given in to him.

“Yeah, we can, baby.”

Reluctantly, Dean let it go and wrapped his arms around Sam. He knew it was not
the last time they would argue about that, because Dean would keep trying, but
he also knew that making Sam aware of his abusive father was not an overnight
job.


~ * ~


When their time was up, Dean walked with Sam back to the church, and inside
Bobby’s classroom, under the priest’s curious gaze, the two of them said
goodbye.

Father Bobby watched as the Prince left, then he studied Dean’s face and the
evident sulk on it.

“What is it?” he asked when they were alone.

“What is what?” Dean retorted.

“Oh, c’mon. I’ve known you since you were too young to wipe your own ass.
Something’s got your panties in a bunch.”

“That’s a cheeky choice of words for a priest.”

Bobby chuckled at that.

“It is. But I’m right, ain’t I? What happened? You wanna talk about it?”

“There’s nothing to talk about,” Dean hated the promise he had made Sam. He had
given his word, and secrecy was the price for having Sam open up to him.
Besides, given the way Sam felt about his dad, telling Bobby would only make
the situation messier. Sam wasn’t ready to understand things for what they
were. The added pressure might end up causing more damage.

Even if there was nothing to talk about, Bobby knew Dean wanted to say
something. John’s son usually dropped Sam off and left quickly to go take care
of his things, whether that meant his father’s garage or the beach bar. Now,
however, Dean just stayed where he was, pretending to be interested in the
images of saints and the black board behind Bobby’s desk.

“Okay, then…” Bobby let his words just hang there, knowing that if Dean needed
to say something he would do so when he felt ready.

Dean paced around some more and took a deep breath.

“I mean…” he began, and Bobby hid the hint of a smile. “it’s not like there’s
anything to talk about. The kid’s dad is weird as fuck, right? Everyone knows
that.”

Bobby’s mood shifted slightly at the mention of Azazel. He grew more serious
and interested in the way Dean toyed with some rosary beads he had picked up
from a drawer.

“Why do you say that?”

“It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?” Dean shrugged. “Dad knows there’s something
wrong there.”

“And why are you bringing this up? I didn’t think you listened to your dad’s
stories before.”

“No reason.”

Bobby narrowed his eyes. “Has Sam told you anything?”

“No, why, has he told you?” Dean shot back.

“Not really.”

The two of them stared at each other for a moment, as if something really
important was on brink of happening.

Dean looked away and shrugged again.

“I don’t like him, that’s all. The fact that he keeps Sam isolated from the
world is reason enough for me to dislike him already.”

“This is tough, I agree. But every parent believes they know what’s best for
their children. You have to respect that, Dean.”

“No, I don’t. Sam had never eaten apple pie until a few weeks ago. He had never
gone to a party, never danced and laughed and talked to other people.”

Bobby looked deeply into Dean’s distressed expression. His heart raced at what
he saw in there.

“And why do you feel so strongly about a friend, Dean? What is it about Sam
that triggers you?”

Dean looked at Bobby and considered whether or not he should answer that.

“I don’t know,” he said, and to his surprise there was a great deal of honesty
in that answer. “I don’t know what it is, Bobby, but I look at that kid and I
just want to keep him safe. I can’t bear the thought of anyone, let alone his
twisted yellow-eyed father hurting him, it just makes something boil inside of
me, as if I’ve got to move heaven and earth to protect him,” Dean didn’t even
know he had been feeling all that until he spoke it.

Bobby smiled to himself. At that moment he felt really tempted to tell Dean
what John had shared about their connection. He wondered if knowing that they
were brothers – might be brothers, John could still be mistaken, Bobby
corrected himself. But anyway, Bobby wondered if telling Dean would make the
young man understand his connection to Sam better. Perhaps all that Bobby saw
in the way they had instantly clicked and grown so fond of each other could be
reasonably explained by blood itself.

“Since when have you felt this way?” Bobby asked.

“Would you think I’m crazy if I said pretty much since I saw him?” Dean knew it
sounded absurd, but it was the truth. “I swear it’s like there’s some sort of
invisible connection between us. I’m telling you this because you’re a priest
and shit…”

“Oh?”

“And you keep people’s secrets, right?”

“I suppose I do,” Bobby agreed.

“It’s been like this since we first met. I don’t believe in past lives and this
kind of shit of written in the stars and whatever, but if I didn’t know better
I’d say that looking after him is what I was meant to do all along, you know?”
the more he spoke, the more Dean understood the feelings he had been nurturing
for a while. “Now, how the fuck can any of this make sense? I barely know the
guy, he’s so full of mystery and stuff.”

“Well, I think it’s a beautiful thing what you said there. Sam’s a great boy,
and he really needed a friend,” Bobby said. “You can relax, though, because I
don’t think anyone is out to harm him, so you don’t need to get all worked up
over the idea of him needing protection.”

Dean thought of what he knew about Sam and his father.

“He’d better not hurt him,” Dean murmured under his breath, not really
realizing he had spoken the words loud enough to be heard.

“Are you talking about Azazel?” Bobby frowned. “Why would he hurt his own kid?”
Bobby searched Dean’s face but the young man had grown quiet. “Dean, is there
something you would like to tell me? Did Sam tell you something about his dad?”

Dean shook his head as if he had just woken up from a trance.

“Sorry, Bobby. I got to go. I just remembered I got a ton of stuff to do at the
garage.”

“Dean, wait! Come back here,” Bobby tried.

“See you later, Bobby.” Dean turned around and left hastily.

Bobby stayed behind, and for a moment he searched his memories with urgency.
There had never been bruises, let alone broken bones. So why was it that the
Winchesters seemed so adamant to believe Sam was harmed? After going through
all the encounters he had had with the Prince, Bobby gave up and sighed with
frustration.

“To hell with all these secrets,” Bobby groaned and poured himself a shot of
whiskey.

Chapter 46



Dean picked Sam up at the church as usual, but he had been unable to get out of
work that afternoon, which meant that whatever little time they would have
together, they wouldn’t be able to do much.

“I’ve got to go back to the bar,” Dean said and sounded apologetic. “Cas is
covering for me right now, but there’s a surfing event happening so I’ve got to
work this afternoon.”

“It’s alright. I’ll go and watch you if you don’t mind.”

“Mind?” Dean’s heart thudded fast with joy. “I’ll love to have you there. You
know that. I just wish we could do something just the two of us.”

Sam wished the same, however, he couldn’t help feeling a little relieved that
this would be a harmless meeting between them.

After getting so close at the beach party and allowing himself to have a
further taste of sexual intimacy, Sam was thirsty for more. He now understood
his father when he said sexual pleasure should be avoided at all costs. The
more Sam tasted it, the more he craved the feeling again.

“It’s okay. Let’s go,” Sam assured him.

Dean pulled Sam closer and kissed him on the lips before they left the church.


~ * ~


At the beach, Sam sat next to Castiel on the bar stools and watched as Dean
poured drinks and cleaned up the counter every now and then. It was the middle
of the afternoon, but the bar was relatively busy with surfers and a few
tourists who had come by to see the beautiful and daring young people ride the
waves.

“Are you going to participate?” Sam asked, eventually.

“Nah…” Dean smiled and seemed nostalgic. “I used to. When I was about your age.
Too old for that now,” he winked and laughed.

“Too old? You’re only twenty,” Sam pointed out.

“Well, Dean is into different sports now,” Cas retorted and Sam smiled
bashfully with understanding.

“Shut up,” Dean chuckled.

“Hey, barman? Could we have another drink here? It’s been forever…”

Dean rolled his eyes at the impatient request before he turned around to go
serve the clients.

“That couple’s arguing,” Sam whispered to Castiel as they watched Dean go take
the man’s order.

“Yeah, I saw that, too,” Cas agreed. “That’s not unusual, you know. This bar is
a hot spot, lots of people come here, and with plenty of booze it’s not
unlikely that an argument or two will sprout.”

“She seems really uncomfortable.”

Sam and Castiel were talking about the couple whose order Dean was writing
down. They looked like outsiders who had come to enjoy the event. The woman was
wearing a pink bikini and a pink short skirt, and the guy with her was tall and
muscular, and he was wearing black shorts and a white tank top.

The last thing Sam wanted was to pay attention to other people’s conversation,
but he couldn’t ignore the way the argument between the couple kept escalating
the more the man drank.

“I wish Dean would stop pouring him drinks. He looks like he might hit the girl
or something,” Sam told Castiel.

“He’ll keep serving the guy drinks unless he thinks he may become dangerous.
Dean has denied people drinks before when they became too rowdy, so don’t
worry.”

A few feet from where Sam and Castiel talked, Dean took down the man’s order.

“Finally. It’s been forever. Can’t believe this shit place has only got one
damn bartender,” the man complained loud enough so more people could hear him.

“Honey, please…” the girl put a hand on his knee, a hand that got immediately
slapped away.

“I’m sorry, guys. It’s been busy today. What can I get you?” Dean tried to
sound cheerful, but he was paying close attention to the couple’s interactions.
The man was obviously throwing a jealous fit, and Dean didn’t like the way
drinking was making him speak louder and with a more combative attitude.

He made the man his drink and went on to serving other people. An entire hour
went by with more people coming and going, and Dean taking every minute he
could to chat a little with Sam or brush his fingers over his hand. It was all
going well until the argument between the couple got heated.

“Oh, shut up. I know you were staring at him because you’re a fucking whore and
that’s what filthy whores like yourself do.”

“Roger, please…” the girl look mortified.

“Please what? I know your type. You’re an easy chick, don’t you think everyone
else sees that, too?”

“No more drinks for you. Let’s go…” she said.

“I’ll drink if I want to,” he replied stubbornly.

“Sorry to interrupt guys, but I think the lady’s right,” Dean jumped into the
conversation. “You’ve probably had enough. Perhaps you should go home and sleep
it off,” he suggested.

“Oh, c’mon.” The guy frowned.

The girl turned pleading eyes to Dean, silently asking for his help.

“Listen to him, I think we should go, honey…” she tried.

“No! I’m not ready to go. I’ll have another one.”

The girl eyed Dean again.

“Sorry, dude. No more alcohol for you. Come back tomorrow.”

The guy looked at the bartender and at his girlfriend, and in his intoxicated
state he seemed to have understood it all.

“Oh, I see. So now you’ve got the hots for him too, right? Jesus fucking…you’re
unbelievable!”

“Roger, don’t!” the girl was so petrified with embarrassment that she couldn’t
even raise her eyes to look around. All she wanted was to disappear quickly.
She got up and grabbed her boyfriend by the wrist. “Let’s go back to the hotel,
please.”

“Don’t touch me, bitch!” the guy yanked himself free and pushed her, and the
girl lost her balance and fell on her ass, startled.

“Hey, hey, cut it out. Don’t touch her,” Dean slipped under the counter in a
split second and stood between the couple. By now they had the full attention
of all eyes on the bar, including Sam’s and Castiel’s. “Are you alright?” Dean
asked the girl over his shoulder.

“Yeah, I’m fine…” the girl accepted help when someone offered to pick her up.

“Stay away from me. You don’t know me, dude. This is between my girlfriend and
I. Get lost before I kick your ass.”

Sam’s heart skipped a beat and fear grabbed at it when Dean was threatened.

“Oh, I don’t think so,” Dean replied calmly. “Look, man, I don’t want to fight
you, okay? Go take a walk and leave the girl alone. You can find her when you
sober up.”

“You don’t get to tell me what to do, who the fuck do you think you are, you
stupid bartender?” the guy pushed Dean, and at that moment Sam felt Castiel’s
hand on his shoulder, keeping him in place. Sam hadn’t even realized he had
moved until Cas looked at him and silently told him to hold still.

There were voices talking quickly all around them, but Dean kept his cool.

“I’m gonna say this again, man. Go home, take a shower and sleep it off. I’m
not here to fight you, but if you touch her again I’ll hurt you.”

The taller man grinned sneeringly. He obviously measured Dean up and down. He
was bigger and more muscular, meaning that he wasn’t at all intimated by the
bartender.

“Step out of my way now. I’ll give you one chance and one only to get out of
this without a scratch.”

“I don’t think so.” Dean stood firmly between the man and his girlfriend.

“Do you know who I am? I fight for a living. Get out of my way before I screw
up your pretty face.”

The guy stepped towards Dean until their faces were almost touching.

“I won’t warn you again. Go away,” Dean tried one last time.

The guy’s response was not verbal anymore. The moment he launched at Dean, the
bartender was ready for the blow and dodged it instantly. Dean wasn’t as
muscular as the other guy, but he was fast and strong from all the sports and
the training his dad had put him through in their hunting trips. He knew how to
defend himself. In fact, Dean was extremely good at defending himself.

“He’ll hurt him…” Sam whispered, his heart racing.

“No, he won’t,” Cas assured him. “I’ve seen Dean fight before. Relax.”

Sam watched the scene with worry all over his face as the guy charged against
Dean once again, only to miss the target and receive a blow to the nose.

When Dean punched the guy’s face the crowd let out surprised and pleased sighs,
and blood gushed out immediately. That only served to infuriate the man. He
charged at Dean again, his fist eventually brushing Dean’s temple next to his
left eyebrow and breaking skin.

The next time the guy came at him, Dean took him in a tight headlock, and he
held on long enough for the strong, tall man with an aggressive attitude to
grow quiet and weak. When the man’s knees faltered, Dean let him fall to the
floor and went down too, on top of him.

The guy recovered quickly and started throwing punches. For the next tense
minutes, there were blows and grunts and a lot of rolling around. Sam watched,
in horror, as the two men groaned and fought on the beach sand. Dean was hit,
but he also hit the guy several times, and in his green eyes there was a look
of pure and instinctive aggression. Dean was so caught up in the fight that Sam
would have been afraid to touch him at that moment, because there was a look of
raw ferocity in his face.

Dean finally got on top of the guy whose face was bloodied, pressed his right
knee to his chest and held him there, helpless and harmless. He felt something
warm trickling down the side of his face but didn’t pay it much attention.

In a moment, there were other men next to them, holding the guy down so Dean
could stand up.

“I called the police. They’ll be here at any moment,” one of the clients said.

“You’re bleeding,” Sam said as soon as he got close enough to Dean.

Dean touched the side of his face and his fingers became red and wet.

“It’s nothing,” he said.

“Perhaps you should go,” Cas suggested. “Everyone knows the guy’s got it coming
and the police will only ask you a bunch of questions.”

“He’s right,” the girl said. “Thank you for helping me. I don’t want you to get
in trouble because of us.”

“How about you and that douche bag?” Dean asked.

“I’ve called my brother. He’s coming to pick me up.”

“Good.”

“Go back to the shack and look after this cut, Dean. I’ll handle the bar,”
Castiel said.

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah. Take Sam and go. He can’t be here if the police come. They might
recognize him.”

Castiel was right so Dean quickly agreed to it.

“Come,” he took Sam’s hand and led them out of the bar and back home.


~ * ~


At the beach house, Dean splashed water over his face at the sink to wash away
the blood. Sam watched everything from the door, his heart still pounding.

When the blood was gone, Dean checked himself in the mirror. It was a small
cut, but it was still bleeding a little.

“See? Told you it was nothing. Must’ve been the guy’s ring or something.”

Sam was relieved to see it was nothing, indeed. Castiel had been right, Dean
could fight and defend himself just fine.

“That guy was bigger than you. He looked like a professional fighter or
something.”

“He probably was.”

“He could’ve hurt you.”

Dean shrugged. “I can handle myself.”

“I saw that. When did you learn to fight?”

Dean opened the freezer and took some ice from it. He put it in a bag and sat
on the edge of the bed before handing it to Sam.

“Press it down so the bleeding will stop,” he instructed, simply because he
appreciated the closeness. “And my dad taught me to defend myself since I was a
boy. He said it was something basic that I had to learn.”

“I was afraid he’d hurt you…” Sam confessed. “But you kicked his ass.”

Dean chuckled.

“And that was…well, pretty cool,” Sam chuckled, too.

He took the ice and pressed it to the cut on Dean’s head.

“Ouch,” Dean flinched a little and smiled.

Sam sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the man in front of him. He had
never seen this side of Dean before. He caught himself playing the scene over
and over in his mind, and the same adrenaline rushed through his veins.

“It wasn’t the first time you fought, Cas said.”

“No, it wasn’t. As a bartender, I’ve had my share of rowdy costumers.”

“You’re stronger than you look…”

“Benny would agree.”

“Why do you say that?”

“I broke his arm many years ago before we became such good friends.”

“What? How…?!”

“Long story,” Dean laughed. “You should ask him to tell you someday.”

Sam studied Dean as if he was seeing him for the first time, and the truth was
that there was a part of Dean that Sam was only now allowed to take a glimpse
at. Dean was kind and sweet and protective, but he was also strong and violent
if need be.

Now, Sam had come to trust Dean with all his heart; he knew there was no way
Dean could ever harm him, and yet, after what had just happened at the beach
bar, Sam realized that he could. If Dean really wanted to, he could easily
overpower him; he could pin Sam down as he had done to the tall guy at the
beach, and he could use his strength to do to Sam absolutely anything he
desired, and there would be no way Sam could stop him. The thought sent a chill
down Sam’s spine. It caused him fear, and yet, in a disturbing way, it also
aroused him.

“What are you thinking, mm?” Dean seemed to sense that Sam’s mind was drifting.

“Nothing…” Sam shook his head.

“C’mon…you can tell me.”

“It’s nothing…it’s stupid, really.”

“Nothing is stupid. If you’re thinking it, you can tell me.”

Sam sucked at his lips and pondered for a moment. He took a deep breath and
shrugged.

“I didn’t know you could fight, that’s all. It’s a little new realizing that
you can subjugate a bigger guy.”

“Is that a bad thing?”

“No, not at all. I’m so glad you dealt with him.”

“So what is it?” Dean was curious about the way Sam hesitated.

“When you overpowered him you could’ve done whatever you wanted to him.” Sam
thought back on the raw anger he had seen on Dean’s face. “You looked so mad,
it was as if…”

“I’d lost control?”

“Kind of.”

“Were you afraid?” Dean frowned.

Sam felt the same chill run down his spine and pool on his belly, causing his
skin to break with goosebumps and his heart to race. It wasn’t a bad feeling at
all.

“No. I mean, yes, but not really. I know you. I trust you. But…”

“But…?” Dean arched an eyebrow and flinched a little at the pain in his cut. He
was, however, unstoppably amused at the way Sam fidgeted with words.

“If you used that strength to subjugate me as you did to that guy you could do
whatever you wanted…there’s no way I could stop you.” Sam felt his cheeks
become hot.

It was Dean’s turn to study the boy. Sam sounded concerned, he looked edgy, but
right underneath that there was another feeling scraping the surface.

“I suppose that’s true. I mean, technically if I wanted I could pin you down
and do whatever I pleased and you wouldn’t be able to deny me,” he tested for
the boy’s reaction and Sam didn’t disappoint.

The younger boy sucked in his breath and heat spread inside of him. Dean was
way too familiar with those dilating pupils and flaring nostrils not to realize
Sam was aroused. That thought had an instant effect on Dean, making his blood
rush faster and to specific parts of his body.

“Dean…” the name on Sam’s tongue sounded throaty.

“Let’s try, shall we?” Dean whispered teasingly, his eyes glinting with
mischief before he tossed the ice aside.

“Try what? What are you—ooh!”

Dean pushed Sam onto the bed on his back and crawled on top of him. He pinned
the boy’s wrist on each side of his head and pressed down on him with his body
weight.

Sam gasped and breathed erratically. His cock twitched to attention and his
chest heaved up and down under Dean’s searching look.

“C’mon,” Dean elicited.

“C’mon what?”

“Try to fight me,” he licked at his lips and smiled leeringly.

“Are you serious?” Sam’s heart pounded with a twinge of fear before drowning
into a pool of arousal.

“Damn sure I am. Go ahead. Try to get away.” Dean narrowed his eyes and waited.

At first Sam tried softly. He pulled at his wrists and wiggled a little, but
Dean tightened his grip on his wrists and used his thighs to settle between
Sam’s, denying him an escape.

“Dean…” Sam widened his eyes when he realized Dean was serious.

“Give it your best shot.”

And Sam did. He yanked as hard as he could at Dean’s grip, but Dean’s fingers
only tightened and pressed. Fear tangled with heat and Sam’s cock throbbed at
the same time his heart thudded in his chest. He squirmed and tried with all of
his strength to get away, but Dean was overpowering him just as he had the guy
at the beach.

After a few minutes of struggling, there was sweat breaking on Sam’s forehead.
His wrists were also slick with sweat, but Dean’s grip was merciless.

Dean swiveled his hips and rubbed his erection against Sam’s own hard-on.

“Hmm,” Sam moaned and thrashed anew. Dean’s cock felt full and heavy against
his own, almost threatening, and Sam shuddered uncontrollably at the feeling of
friction.

He twisted and writhed again, but never once did he ask Dean to let him go.

After a little more squirming from Sam and thrusting from Dean, they were both
painfully hard and panting.

Dean leaned down and let his lips brush Sam’s ear.

“How does that feel, baby? Knowing I have you under my control to do as I
please?”

“Hm...”

“I could strip you naked and spread your legs…and have you submit to me,
because you can’t fight me…”

“Dean…” Sam’s thoughts were descending into the chaos of lust and need.

“Would you like that, Sammy?” Dean asked, and there was genuine curiosity in
his voice. “Would you like me to take control and have my way with you?”

Sam trembled a little and Dean could feel the tremors against his body. At that
moment he knew the answer.

“Do you want me to hold you down and fuck you?” Dean whispered and Sam bucked
into him, his spine arching off the bed to seek contact.

“Dean…”

“Is that it? Should I just shove my cock so deep into your body that you can’t
deny me, that you have nothing else to do but take me as deeply as I’ll go?”

Sam panted hard through his nostrils, his muscles taut.

Dean realized what was going on. He understood Sam wanted him to make this
decision for them because he couldn’t, or so he thought. “Do you want me to
hold you down and slam my cock into you so it’s done and over with? So you
can’t go back? So you have no choice but to accept that it happened?” he asked
softly.

Dean pressed his cock between Sam’s thighs. He could feel himself throbbing.

The boy couldn’t speak but he surrendered. Sam gave in, relaxed under the tight
grip and nodded.

There was a moment of absolute stillness between them before Dean spoke again.

 “I’m sorry, baby, but that won’t happen.” Dean stopped all the friction and
loosened the grip on Sam’s wrists.

The boy looked questioningly at him, almost disappointed.

“Oh, don’t take me wrong,” Dean smiled. “I am going to take you. I am going to
shove my cock so deep inside you that you won’t remember anything except for
what it feels like when I'm pounding harder and deeper into you,” Dean promised
lustfully.

“I will fuck you, Sammy.”

Dean sat on his heels and watched the disheveled, breathless boy on his bed. He
offered a hand which Sam took, seemingly a little confused with his hazel eyes
wide and restless. Dean pulled the boy into a sitting position, too.

“When I do fuck you, though” Dean’s lips found Sam’s earlobe again. “It’ll be
because you asked me to. Got it?”

Dean pulled back again, kissed Sam’s forehead with unexpected gentleness and
got up and out of bed.

“Until you ask me to, I won’t do anything.”

When the thick cloud of arousal began to dissipate a little, Sam smiled because
he understood what Dean had just shown him—Sam didn’t need to be physically
stronger to be the one in control.

“So unless I verbally ask you to, you won’t fuck me?” Sam chuckled with a small
hint of shyness.

“No,” Dean agreed.

“When I say yes…”

“I’ll fuck you stupid, I promise.”

***** Chapter 47 *****
 
Chapter 47



It was all confusing and dark and it happened way too fast. Sam was right there
with him, in the shack. They were talking and kissing and everything was good,
until suddenly the boy’s yellow-eyed father was there too, and told Sam he
needed to go.

“You don’t have to listen to him,” Dean said. “Stay here. I can protect you.”

Azazel reached out his hand and Sam took it, but Dean could see it in his eyes
the boy didn’t want to go.

“Sam, stay with me.” Dean took his hand but Sam was crying now. He moved away
and Dean couldn’t hold on. He was stuck as he watched Azazel take Sam. Then,
when the boy stood on his feet, his back to his father as he looked in Dean’s
direction, Dean could see Azazel smile leeringly from over Sam’s shoulder.

“Don’t…don’t do that,” Dean shook his head.

Azazel simply laughed and sank his fangs into Sam’s neck.

“DON’T”

He couldn’t seem to move, let alone stop what was happening. “Sammy!”

There were tears running down Sam’s cheeks, but he stood perfectly still.

That seemed to go on forever, and then suddenly Sam’s eyes rolled back and he
fell down with a thud.

“No!”

“He’s mine.” Azazel licked his blood covered fangs and smiled again, and that
was when Dean woke up, breathless and perspiring.

Dean’s heart was racing and for a moment he didn’t know what had just happened.
It took him a few seconds to realize he’d just had an awful dream about Sam’s
abusive father, and that none of it had been real.

“Except that it is real,” Dean groaned and covered his face with his hands.

The sheets were tangled around his waistline, and when Dean calmed down a
little he could hear the waves through the window.

Sam was fine, he told himself. He wasn’t lying in a pool of blood somewhere in
his mansion. Or so Dean hoped.

“Fuck! Fuck this shit!” Dean tossed the sheets away but stayed in bed. He hated
this situation and he didn’t know for how much longer he could handle it. How
in fuck’s name was he supposed to sit and be cool when what had just happened
in his dream might very well be happening to Sam right now? None of it was
fair, and it was unbearable that Dean couldn’t change it. He needed to come up
with a plan or something to make Sam understand that what happened to him was
wrong. He needed to talk some sense into him! God, what if he just went ahead
and took the boy’s virginity? Dean supposed that would force Sam to stand up to
his father. And truth be told, the boy clearly wanted Dean to take control and
make this decision for the both of them.

As tempting as it sounded, however, Dean knew there was no way he could just
take the boy without his full consent. Even though Sam’s body had clearly
already said yes, many times, Dean couldn’t bear not having the boy’s mind
complete at peace with this decision. There was no way he would fuck Sam until
Sam wanted it enough to ask for it.

And speaking of fucking…

“Damn it…” Dean sighed. It had been so fucking long. He had never been so long
without sex. How long had it been already? Five, six months? He would go crazy,
he definitely would. Either that or he would jerk himself to oblivion until
something finally happened with Sam. He was constantly horny. So much that even
after a disturbing dream all it took was one simple thought of fucking or not
fucking Sam to set his nerve endings on edge.

Dean’s cock hardened as he pictured Sam in bed with him, and the way he had
pinned the boy down, thrusting against his very much willing body and
conflicted mind.

“Fuck…” Dean wrapped a hand around his cock and felt it swell as he stroked it.

As he closed his eyes, that scene with Sam ended much differently. In his
fantasy, Dean didn’t stop as he had done. In it, Dean did what Sam wanted him
to, he pulled the boy’s pants down and spread his legs…

Panting became louder in the room as the strokes got faster.

…he position himself at Sam’s entrance without much preparation because they
were both so horny and so ready. Dean pushed into Sam and the boy moaned so
loud…

“Hmmm….” Dean squeezed himself and his free hand cupped his balls.

Sam felt so tight and warm as he opened for him, and everything felt so good;
Dean was making him feel so good, and they couldn’t stop it, they were moving
faster and faster…and—

“Oh, fuck….fuck…” Dean gasped and panted as he shot his seed and felt the warm
come dribble down his hand. He gave himself a few more strokes and relaxed.

It was far from being what he needed, but once again it would have to do.


~ * ~


Dean took a shower and left his home. It was still early in the morning and he
had agreed to work with his father on some of the cars at the garage.

Before nine o’clock Dean was there, in his father’s house, dirty up to his
elbows from working with oil and engine rust.

“Dean? Didn’t expect you so early,” John said as he watched his son work.

“Yeah, whatever,” Dean shrugged.

John went closer to have a better look at what Dean was working on.

“Gonna make myself some coffee. Want some?”

“I’m good,” Dean replied curtly.

John frowned and just watched Dean for a moment as he worked away.

“What’s the matter?”

“Why? Nothing. It’s all good.”

John knew Dean way too much to believe that.

“You seem to be in a foul mood.”

“Just working,” Dean mumbled.

“Did something happen?”

Dean sighed deeply. Why was his dad so interested? Or was Dean so obviously
ill-humored?

“No, Dad. Not really.”

“You’re usually annoyingly cheerful in the morning. You know, happy nights.”

Dean arched his eyebrows, shook his head lightly and let out a small puff of
breath.

John felt something grab at his chest and curiosity had the best of him.

“How about your friend…?”

“What friend? I got many friends,” Dean went on with little enthusiasm.

“That rich one…Azazel’s son.” John pretended it didn’t take a lot from him to
say that so lightly.

Dean stopped what he was doing briefly and looked up at his father. He wondered
if thinking so much of Sam was somehow affecting people around him. That was a
strange question for his father to ask.

“He’s alright.”

“He hasn’t come over for dinner, yet.”

Dean narrowed his eyes and studied his father.

“Yeah, I don’t think he will. His father is very strict about the time he
spends outside.”

“I suppose so…” John said casually and sat on the porch stairs.

His dad had never shown any particular interest in any of Dean’s friends
before. On the contrary, he barely knew which one was Castiel and which was
Benny. It was odd that he had taken such an interest in Sam, but then
again…when Dean gave it some thought it wasn’t all that odd in the end. Sam was
the son of his father’s enemy. And now the boy seemed to be friends with him.
It wasn’t all that surprising that John would be curious about the son of the
man he hated so much.

“It’s a shame he can’t come,” John said absently.

“It’s a shame his dad’s a fucking asshole,” Dean muttered.

John went absolutely still and looked at his son. Dean felt his father’s eyes
on him and took a deep breath, pushing the tools aside and taking a seat next
to his father on the porch.

“You don’t like his dad,” John stated.

“No. So what? Neither do you. I grew up with you telling me all sorts of bad
things about him.”

“Why don’t you like him?” John wanted to know.

“Do I need a reason not to? Do you have one?” Dean pushed.

“I told you before, Dean. Those yellow eyes don’t fool me. Azazel is not what
he says he is.”

“Then what is he? You said he’s a creature, some sort of supernatural monster,
you’ve even called him…”

“A vampire, yes.”

Dean’s heart beat fast in his chest.

Dean thought of what Sam had told him, about his dad needing blood to survive.
His blood. Dean wanted so desperately to tell his father what he knew, but he
couldn’t betray Sam. God only knew what his dad would do if he had that kind of
information from the Prince himself, and then everything would be blown out in
the open and they wouldn’t be able to see each other again.

“What did you see, Dad?” Dean asked.

“I saw him drinking blood.”

“Did you see him kill someone? What happened?” John had never told him that,
and Dean was dying for more information.

“I didn’t see him kill anyone, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a killer. I
believe he is.”

“When did you see him?”

“I…there are things I can’t tell you, Dean. But I know what I saw. I know it
and nothing will convince me otherwise.”

“You tried telling people about it…”

“And then the whole town said I was crazy, yeah. Even my best friend thinks I’m
crazy.”

Dean took a deep breath and looked into the distance.

“I don’t think you’re crazy,” he said softly.

John tensed and his thoughts ran fast with all sorts of ideas.

“You don’t? Why? Have you seen something? Has Sam told you anything?”

Dean was taken aback by the way his dad’s eyes seemed to have lit up when he
asked that. There was something extremely strong and intense in John’s eyes
now.

John thought about all his doubts and all his fears. What if Sam had talked to
Dean about them? What if Dean knew what really went on in that big fancy house
away from everyone’s eyes?

“I’m sorry, Dad…” Dean shook his head. “Sam talked to me about some stuff, but
I promised him I wouldn’t tell anyone,” Dean apologized. “He trusts me. I can’t
betray that.”

Dean was prepared for all sorts of demands from his father. He was positively
sure that John would insist over and over that Dean tell him exactly everything
his friend had told him about his father, because of John’s obsession with his
enemy. Dean was already regretting that conversation when his dad spoke and
surprised him.

“That’s all right,” John said.

“It is?”

“Yeah. We all have secrets. We all have…stuff we can’t say for one reason or
the other. I understand that, Dean. I do.”

“Good…thanks.” Dean looked intently at his father.

“You’re right to keep his secrets. That kid doesn’t look like he’s got many
friends.”

“He doesn’t.”

“So you be there for him. I know I raised you well and I know you look after
the people you care about.”

Dean was relieved, but also a little freaked out by that conversation.

“Be there for him. That’s enough.”

Dean watched as his father got up and stretched.

“Coffee?” he asked before going into the house, leaving behind a very confused
and thoughtful Dean.


~ * ~


When Sam woke up he knew something was going on. He felt the wetness between
his legs as soon as he opened his eyes, and he knew Crowley would find a reason
to inform his father the moment he checked his underwear beneath the sheets.

Indeed, Crowley looked at him and waited a moment before sending for his
father. As he waited, Sam was torn between the joy of knowing his father
wouldn’t come to his bedroom tonight and the disappointment of not being able
to see Dean. Unless he somehow managed to go to class anyway…

A few minutes later his father walked into the room.

“Crowley told me about your dream. It’s all right, dear. I’ll be working late
tonight. You might not be awake when I return. Tell the cook she doesn’t need
to wait for me.”

“Okay, Dad.”

“I’ll stop by the church and tell Bobby you won’t go today. Don’t worry.”

Sam grimaced at that but didn’t let it show.

“Thank you,” he said instead.

“Take care, sweetie.” Azazel kissed his forehead and left.

When he was gone, Sam took a shower and went downstairs for breakfast, and not
once did Crowley leave his side. After a light meal, Sam went back to his room
and picked up his bathing suit.

“Good. You’re going for a swim, then,” Crowley observed. “What about this
afternoon? What would you like to do?”

“This afternoon I’m going to class.”

Crowley waited a moment to reply.

“Excuse me?”

“You heard me very well. This afternoon I’m going to class as if nothing
happened.”

“You know I can’t let you go out of the house.”

“Dad will be home late.”

“That’s what he said. What if his plans change?”

“That’s why you’ll keep an eye out for him. You’ll drive to the hospital and
park near the entrance. If he leaves early you’ll pick me up and bring me
home.”

“We would never be home before him.”

“We’ll come up with an excuse, like I felt sick and you took me to the hospital
or something. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”

“That’s absurd. Besides, your father will have already told the priest you’re
not going to class.”

“I’m not, that’s true.”

Sam chuckled when Crowley looked confused.

“Don’t be so stupid, Crowley. Of course I’m not going to class. I’m going
straight to Dean’s place.”

Crowley made an outraged little sound of shock and disgust but Sam ignored him.

“I have already corrupted my blood today. Why can’t I have some fun?”

“Because!...” Crowley looked for words but they seemed to have disappeared.
“Because your father said…and, and…”

“Oh, please, Crowley. We’re so over that. You know it, I know it. I won’t have
sex. I just want to be a normal teenager with his boyfriend for one afternoon.”

“I don’t even want to think about what you mean by that.”

“Then don’t. Don’t think. It’s better that way. Just drive me there this
afternoon.”

Crowley seemed reluctant.

“Look,” Sam sighed and put a hand on Crowley’s shoulder. “I’m my father’s heir.
One day everything he owns will be mine. I’ll be the boss of all this and
you’ll answer to me. Now tell me. How would you like to be able to do as you
please?”

“Sorry?”

“I mean it. Would you like to be free to choose anything else you want to do
instead of just being bossed around?”

Crowley’s eyes lit up. He might not admit it, but Sam knew his words had just
gotten to him.

They stared at each other in silence for a moment.

“So, pool now, class after lunch?” Sam asked.

“Yes, Prince. As you wish.”


~ * ~


After working all morning and beginning of the afternoon, Dean was filthy
dirty, and took a shower in his dad’s house before eating something and going
to church to see Sam.

When Bobby Singer opened the classroom door and told him Sam wasn’t coming,
Dean’s heart fell and his mood became even more sour than it already was. By
the time he made his way back to the shack he was feeling all sorts of angry
feelings of helplessness and anger. Today was definitely not a good day. First
his nightmare, then the conversation with his father, acknowledging Azazel was
a monster and yet being unable to open up about it, then going to church to be
told Sam wasn’t coming.

When Dean opened the door and walked in, his face didn’t look good, because it
had no reason to.

“Hey there.”

The voice made him turn around immediately, his heart racing.

“Do you always leave the door unlocked? Aren’t you afraid someone might come
in?” Sam asked.

Dean’s face opened like the sun after a gray and rainy day. Even some tension
left his shoulders and he relaxed.

“Sam! What are you doing here? I stopped by the church and Bobby said you
weren’t coming.”

“Are you complaining? Because if you have other plans…” Sam teased.

“Oh, shut up.” Dean closed the distance between them and pulled Sam into a
tight hug and deep kiss.

Their lips brushed and their hands kneaded and explored for a moment. When the
kiss broke, Dean looked much better than he had when he walked in, but there
was still a hint of a shadow in his eyes.

“How come you’re here?”

“I wasn’t supposed to leave home today, but I sneaked out. Dad will be working
late so…”

“Why weren’t you supposed to leave?”

“Well…” Sam could hardly wait to tell Dean that they could have a little fun
together. “I had a wet dream.”

Dean frowned. He didn’t seem to remember the connection between that and Sam’s
curfew.

“I can’t leave when I have one of those, remember? Dad keeps me under close
supervision.”

Dean didn’t think about anything right now because his dream came back to his
mind very powerfully, and when Dean saw the mental image of Azazel sinking his
teeth into Sam and dominating him, his blood boiled all over again.

“Sam, that’s not right…” he shook his head.

“Sorry?” Sam seemed confused.

“Your father…I know you don’t want to talk about it, but this is wrong. Don’t
you see it? He can’t tell you what to do, he can’t keep you as a prisoner.”

Sam was quiet. That shadow in Dean’s eyes grew and Sam listened as he went on.

“I know this is hard for you, but this isn’t the way it’s supposed to be. Your
dad takes advantage of you, you need to see that!”

“Dean…”

“It’s true, baby. I’m sorry, but it’s killing me seeing all this and being
unable to help. You should put a stop to this. It’s not okay for him to drink
your blood, this is wrong on so many levels…”

“Dean, please…” Sam’s mood shifted quickly from hopeful to annoyed. “Perhaps I
shouldn’t have come today. You’re clearly not in a good mood.”

“Well, forgive me if it bothers me to dream of my boyfriend being food for his
vampire dad.” Dean opened up and Sam felt the pain in his words.

“Did you dream that?” Sam asked, his voice softer now.

Dean nodded. He didn’t want to let Sam know how fucking affected he was by it.
He felt a mess inside. Dean felt helpless, unable to save the person he loved
more than anything in this world, and it was painful.

“I’m sorry you dreamed that.” Sam took Dean’s hands and squeezed. “But you see,
I’m okay. I have bad dreams, too. They’re just dreams.”

“This one wasn’t.”

“I wasn’t hurt. I’m here and I’m fine…can’t we enjoy that, please?” Sam begged.

“We need to talk about what happens to you at home,” Dean tried again, but he
sounded weary and hopeless.

“Well, fine. If you want to talk about my father I suppose we could do that…”
Sam said mysteriously and put the palm of his hand very gently against Dean’s
chest. “But that would be such a waste of time considering I managed to sneak
out of my house after I had a wet dream, and you know what that means…”

“I do?” Dean frowned with evident bewilderment.

“I suppose I could remind you,” Sam’s voice dropped to something teasing and
shy in a way Dean could not comprehend how it was even possible, but it had his
full attention. “Since I’ve already had an orgasm today, I know my dad won’t
drink from me tonight. Now, I should be under careful observation to make sure
I don’t take advantage of this to go and touch myself…but instead I’m right
here…”

Dean understood it. And he wished it didn’t affect him so much. He wished he
could just go on about how important it was that Sam realized his father was
evil, but suddenly all that seemed far less pressing than the feeling of
predatory arousal building quickly within him.

“This means…” Sam began.

“That I can make you come,” Dean’s voice was full of lust and need, and Sam
sucked in his breath at the urgency he saw there.

The boy nodded.

“But we don’t have to. If you want we can still talk about…”

Dean shut him up with a kiss, and Sam chuckled lightly into Dean’s mouth as
they fell silent.

***** Chapter 48 *****
 
Chapter 48

Sam’s heart was thudding as Dean’s strong arms snaked around his body and
pulled him closer. Dean’s mouth felt hot against his, and his tongue was bold
and skilled. Within a couple of minutes, Sam was lightheaded, his blood buzzing
with arousal, his jeans tight around his crotch.

Dean tugged at the boy’s shirt and Sam lifted his arms, complying. A moment
later, Dean’s shirt was gone too and they were half naked in each other’s arms.

“Dean…” Sam whispered throatily.

Dean kissed Sam’s neck, his lips brushing the skin and eliciting shaky little
sighs from the younger boy. “Yes, baby?”

“I’m…” Sam tried to find coherency in the midst of the building pleasure. “I’m
not…not ready to go all the way…” he managed to say, though his voice was small
and insecure.

Dean pulled back a little and smiled.

“I didn’t think you were. Relax, okay? You know you have the upper hand here.”

Dean smiled largely and Sam mirrored him, although his smile was somewhat shy.
The problem was that Sam was so eager to do something, so excited that
he could do something, that he was almost afraid to let himself go.

“What did you dream about?” Dean asked softly. He gave Sam some room but stood
very close.

“What?”

“You mentioned a wet dream…” Dean licked at his lips and his eyes were sinfully
interested in the way Sam blushed. “What did you dream about?”

Sam’s breath shortened and he could feel his cheeks on fire.

“I…I don’t remember…”

“Is that so? It’s such a shame… I’d love to know more about your dreams,
especially since you once told me they often involve me,” Dean narrowed his
eyes provocatively.

Sam’s blood didn’t know where to rush to. Some of it rushed to his dick, some
of it to his cheeks, and the rest made his heart pump faster with desire and
embarrassement.

“I’m sorry, but I really don’t…” Sam didn’t remember what he had dreamed, he
just knew it had obviously been good enough to get him off.

“Perhaps you could tell me about some other dream you had, then…one you
remember, mm?” Dean stroked Sam’s cheek lightly and ran his fingers through the
boy’s hair.

Sam shut his eyes at the caress and nodded before he knew what he was doing.

When he opened his eyes to find Dean’s attentive gaze, he blushed further and
stuttered.

“I…I had this dream once…we were here.”

“In the shack?” Dean smiled brightly, already enjoying it.

Sam nodded.

“I was looking at myself in the mirror.” Sam said.

“Show me.”

“Show you?”

“Yeah.”

Sam swallowed a lump of shyness and arousal and stood in front of the mirror,
his back to the bed behind him.

“You were behind me.”

“Like this?” Dean moved softly and positioned himself between Sam’s body and
the bed, in a way that the boys could both see their reflections in the mirror.

“Yes. No…actually, not quite. We were sitting,” Sam explained.

“Oh, like this, then.”

Dean sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled Sam with him, making the boy
land on his lap.

Sam immediately felt the bulge in Dean’s pants, and he gasped at the feeling.
“Yeah.”

The two of them just breathed for a moment, Sam’s eyes fixed on Dean’s through
the mirror.

The older man ground Sam’s hips down and pressed against him, letting Sam feel
pretty much every inch of his erection.

“What else?”

“Hmm?”

“What happened then?”

“You…” Sam’s head was clouded. Dean smelled so good, so fucking good. The way
Dean’s hands touched his skin, his fingers roaming, kneading, teasing…”You
touched me.”

Dean caught Sam’s earlobe between his teeth and nibbled gently. “Where?” he
breathed the question into Sam’s ear.

The boy shuddered. In the mirror, Dean could see Sam’s eyes roll in the back of
his head and his stomach muscles go taut with every breath.

Sam bit down hard on his bottom lip. It felt as if fire were licking his face.
It burned hotly as Dean studied his every reaction through the mirror.

“Tell me…” Dean whispered as his thumb traced invisible circles on the skin
below Sam’s navel.

The boy squirmed on Dean’s lap, his erection forming a tent in his pants. “You
touched me…” Sam couldn’t say it, it was too hard. Instead, he took Dean’s hand
and placed it on top of his hardness. “Here.”

“Here?” Dean squeezed and Sam moaned.

Dean’s free hand explored the boy’s back and shoulders, caressing and stroking,
until his fingers found a hard nipple and flicked at it casually. Dean’s other
hand toyed with the button on Sam’s jeans until it opened. He waited a moment,
wondering if Sam would stop him. When the boy did nothing but pant and grind
down on his lap, Dean let his fingers slip beneath the waistband of Sam’s
underwear. The moment he did that, he could feel wetness as his fingertips
brushed the tip of Sam’s dick.

“Fuck,” Dean groaned, his voice husky. He tightened one of his hands on Sam’s
thigh as his other one slid further down the boy’s pants to palm his cock.

“Oh…” Sam panted. His entire body seemed to be hooked to tiny little electric
shock waves of pleasure. He felt Dean’s fingers close around his cock and
stroke, and then his eyes fell shut and his head fell back against Dean’s
shoulder.

Dean looked at the scene from the mirror. He could eat Sam with a spoon—the boy
looked so fucking hot and beautiful. Dean’s cock was rock hard now, and he
opened the button on his pants to relieve some of the growing pressure.

“What did I do then?” Dean asked. He looked in the mirror at his hand between
Sam’s legs. He couldn’t really see the boy’s dick as he stroked it, but the
sight was still so hot that Dean had to struggle not to throw Sam on the bed
and swallow that cock that leaked on his hand. He knew Sam would enjoy it, but
he wondered if it might be too much for him.

“You…did this. You touched me and…it felt so good, I…”

Dean moved his wrist a bit faster and Sam moaned and his hands clawed at Dean’s
thighs for support. In the mirror, Dean watched as Sam’s hips moved in tiny
circles to try and thrust into Dean’s hand, desperately seeking more friction.

“Then what? What did I do?” Dean teased. He let his thumb graze the sensitive
tip and Sam writhed on his lap.

“I…oh God, oh…” Sam’s cock was throbbing and he couldn’t form any sort of
rational thought.

“Tell me…”

“Can’t. Can’t speak.”

Dean chuckled, the sound low and lustful, sending goosebumps down Sam’s arms
and thighs.

“Did I suck you off?” Dean’s lips found Sam’s weakness, the sensitive spot on
his neck, and Sam’s entire back arched with pleasure.

“Dean…Dean…”

“Did I lick your balls and then swallow your cock until you came?” he spoke
hotly.

Sam opened his eyes and met Dean’s in the mirror, and it was like fire burst
inside of him, pushing him straight to the edge.

“Did I lick you open until you just begged me to fuck you?”

Sam’s thighs tightened, his balls drew close and everything felt like a
blackout. He stiffened but he flew, he shuddered and tensed and then it was
good, so good, so fucking good he had no control over anything.

The boy might have fallen if Dean hadn’t kept him on his lap with a tight grip.
He milked Sam’s cock until the last spurt of come left the trembling boy, and
when Sam was too sensitive to touch, he put a hand above Dean’s wrist, silently
begging him to stop.

Dean gave Sam time to regain control of himself. There was nothing but panting
for an entire minute as the boy became aware of his surroundings again.

“Sammy?” Dean’s voice sounded raspy, and his breath was moist against Sam’s
ear, sending him goosebumps.

“Yeah?”

Dean thrust against Sam’s lower back, letting the boy feel the taut erection
pressed against him.

“Can I touch you?” Dean reached his right hand into his pants and squeezed his
cock as his other hand was now holding on to Sam’s hipbone.

“Yes…you’ve just touched me, what—” Sam’s words were lost when he understood
what Dean wanted.

“Can I touch you here?” Dean’s fingers slipped inside Sam’s jeans and
underwear; he spread the soft cheeks of Sam’s ass and let a fingertip rest on
the opening there.

“Oh…” Sam gasped. His limp cock twitched to life and he tensed, but it was
good.

“I won’t do anything else, just…” Dean felt his cock throb as the ball of his
finger teased the sensitive skin he wished so bad he could see. “I just want to
feel it…”

“Yeah…” Sam nodded, and he shuddered when he realized Dean was masturbating to
the feeling of touching him there. “I, I could do something else, though. I can
touch you or suck you off.” Sam’s heart raced. He would like to taste Dean
again.

“I…I just…” Dean knew he wouldn’t last much. “It’ll be quick, baby,” Dean
groaned. “The sight of you coming for me, thrashing on my lap has pretty much
done me in,” he purred.

Sam closed his eyes and smiled with delight, then he pressed down on Dean’s
touch, eliciting a moan from the older man.

“Fuck, Sammy…want you so bad….so fucking bad…dream about fucking your tight
little hole…” Dean jerked himself faster.

Sam didn’t know whether the heat on his cheeks was from his orgasm or the
blushing.

“Will you…” Sam swallowed hard, looked at Dean’s pleasure-filled eyes through
the mirror and smiled devilishly. “…be gentle with me? For my first time?” he
spoke softly, driving Dean crazy with the coy attitude.

“Fuck, so very much,” Dean groaned and his wrist picked up more speed and his
fingers squeezed with just the right pressure. “Gonna open you up so slowly, so
good…” he flicked his finger over the responsive opening, his climax nearing.

“Dean?” Sam felt a thrilling mix of curiosity and excitement.

“Yes, baby?”

“It’s okay.”

Dean didn’t know what Sam meant. He kept stroking himself harder, needing the
sweet relief he could already taste.

“It’s okay if you want to…um…” The heat in his cheeks was definitely from the
blushing, Sam decided. He pressed down on Dean’s finger to make a point, and
Dean was a fast learner. The older man pushed his finger inside just a little,
but it was enough to feel the heat and tightness and lose control.

Dean moved his finger just a little and his imagination took him over the edge.
“Fuck…” Dean’s forehead fell against the back of Sam’s neck and he came hard
and fast, coating his hand with his seed.

They didn’t move right away. Dean held on to Sam’s body on his lap and breathed
against his skin until his heart rate was normal. Eventually, Dean kicked the
rest of his clothes off and let himself fall back on the bed. Sam got on his
feet and pulled his pants up quickly.

“Here,” Dean lifted himself a little and reached into the first drawer. He
threw a box of tissues at Sam after taking a few himself.

The boys cleaned up and then Sam lay right beside Dean on the bed.

The older man looked at the boy and smiled lightly. “You pulled your pants back
up. So shy…” Dean teased as he lay there, sprawled and naked.

Sam shrugged and smiled shyly, indeed.

“We could do it again in a few minutes. Or we could do something else, too…”
Dean licked at his lips, his thoughts already racing.

“I can’t,” Sam chuckled. “I shouldn’t stay much. It’s risky.”

Dean felt all the somber thoughts about Sam’s life threatening to invade his
mind again but he pushed them away. He didn’t want to ruin the moment, not now.

“Come here, then. Closer.” Dean opened his arms and Sam moved so he was lying
against Dean’s chest. Sam closed his eyes and enjoyed how warm Dean’s naked
skin felt against his own naked chest. “Are you okay?” Dean asked gently, his
lips brushing Sam’s soft hair as he spoke.

“Yes. Why do you ask?”

“Didn’t I freak you out with my finger?”

Sam’s first impulse was to laugh, perhaps out of embarrassment, but Dean’s face
was so genuinely interested and concerned that Sam grew serious.

“No. I said it was okay.”

“Was it any good?”

Sam shrugged. He didn’t want to lie, and Dean seemed to read the discomfort on
his face.

“Be honest,” he said.

“It was weird,” Sam confessed. “Not good, but not completely bad. Just…it
burned a little, but I can’t say I have an opinion about it.”

Dean chuckled lightly. “That’s alright. The magic still hasn’t happened.”

“Magic?”

“Oh, yeah,” Dean said enigmatically. “I can do magic with my fingers inside
you. You’ll see, eventually.”

Sam drew his eyebrows close together as if he didn’t quite believe that. “If
you say so…”

“I do. And I mean it. I’ll make you scream…”

“HEY!” Sam squirmed when Dean tickled his mercilessly. “STOP!” he laughed and
twisted until he ended up nestled in Dean’s arms again.

“Don’t go. Don’t ever leave this room.”

“I have to…my dad can’t know I left home today. I’ll be in trouble if he does.”

“Your dad shouldn’t be able to control your life like that. It makes no sense
that…”

“Dean, please…” Sam begged.

Dean took a deep breath and nodded. He fell silent and pulled Sam closer.

“Thanks…” Sam whispered softly and planted a kiss to Dean’s lips. He had just a
little more time to be there, and he didn’t want to spend that time arguing.

Luckily, after a few minutes of silent cuddling, Sam understood that neither
did Dean.


~ * ~


That night, long after Sam was gone, Dean invited Castiel to meet him at the
bar after he closed, so they could chat and drink a little. All the secrecy
involving Sam’s life and the helplessness Dean felt when it came to helping
were weighing down on him, and Dean could use a little distraction.

Castiel watched as Dean filled his glass for the second time as they sat behind
the counter and listened to the sound of the waves. It was too dark to see the
water, but the rhythmic breaking of waves on the shore was soothing.

“What’s on your mind, Dean?” Cass asked after they had talked enough about
casual stuff. Dean Winchester was a bartender, but he didn’t drink often. When
he did, there was usually something going on.

Dean shrugged. “I’m good.” He wanted to talk to someone really badly. Cass was
his best friend, and it would feel so amazing if he could share some of that
wicked secret with him and then maybe ask his friend’s opinion on what he
should or shouldn’t do… Yet, Dean didn’t want to break Sam’s trust, and it was
killing him inside.

“Is Sam alright?”

“Yeah. I saw him today. It was great.”

“You don’t sound too excited. Is it wearing off, perhaps?” Cass teased.

Dean took a deep breath and he seemed so sad that Castiel’s smile faded.

“On the contrary. I love him so much it’s hard to fucking breathe.”

Cass ignored the small twinge of jealousy he felt, because in the end he was
happy Dean was finally able to feel this way about someone.

“What’s the problem with that?”

“No problem. Except that I can’t be with him all the time. This whole forbidden
love thing sucks.”

Cass chuckled. “Yeah, I guess it kind of does. You have to be patient, though.
It won’t always be such.”

Dean looked as if he might say something and then changed his mind. Cass
frowned and looked at him with searching eyes.

“What is it?”

“It’s nothing. I can’t talk about it, okay?”

“C’mon, Dean. I’m your best friend. You know I won’t tell anyone whatever it is
you wanna say.”

“I can’t. I promised.” Dean’s chest tightened.

“It’s his dad, isn’t it?” Cass asked.

Dean’s eyes widened with surprise and Cass smiled sadly.

“How do you…?”

“Dean, please. I’ve told you before. There’s something wicked about that man.
Maybe you know what it is, maybe your dad knows…I get it that you promised Sam
not to talk about it, but in my opinion you’d have to be a fool not to think
something is wrong with that guy.”

“Right,” Dean agreed. “You’d have to be a fool, or the guy’s son.”

Cass understood Dean’s dilemma when he heard that.

“Yeah, or the guy’s son. Dean, he can’t help it. So what if the guy’s a freak
with eyes like the fucking devil…Sam’s his kid, you gotta give him a break. He
loves his dad.”

“I know.”

“Sam doesn’t have any more family, does he?”

“No. Just his dad.”

“So relax. The kid needs him.”

“And am I supposed to just do nothing? Even if his dad is a fucked up,
controlling piece of shit?”

“Hey, remember Benny’s ex girlfriend?” Cass asked.

“Andrea? How could I forget her,” Dean scoffed.

“She was bad for him, right?”

“Bad? Yeah. More like a crazy psycho stalker bitch, but bad will do.” Dean
arched his eyebrows as he remembered.

“And what happened whenever we tried to tell Benny she was no good to him and
that he should leave her?”

“They only got closer and closer and he got mad at us.”

“Exactly. It’s like this with Sam and his dad, except it’s more complicated
because it’s family. He loves his father. Benny loved Andrea; he was obsessed
with her. At that time, nothing we said would make any difference.”

“So are you saying that nothing I say will make Sam change his mind about his
dad?”

“Yes, and no…I’m quite sure that deep down Benny did listen to our warnings. He
just pushed them aside for as long as he could. The thing is, in both
situations we can try and say something, but nothing will change unless they
change, too.”

“In other words I can talk and talk and talk Sam’s ear off, and he’ll still
protect his dad unless…”

“Unless Sam himself realizes the relationship is not healthy anymore,” Cass
completed Dean’s thought.

“And how will that happen?” Dean seemed impatient.

“Same as it did in Benny’s case.”

When Dean just looked at him questioningly, Cass went on.

“We waited for it to happen, same as we waited for Benny to see Andrea’s true
colors. They can’t hide forever.”

“So I should just sit and wait for Azazel to show how evil he really is?”

“How evil do you think he is?”

“Very.”

“Then it shouldn’t take long.”

“I’ll drink to that.”

“Cheers.”

There was a soft glass noise before the boys finished their drinks.

Chapter 49



At six o’clock when the bell rang, Sam was in his room leafing through one of
his books on Greek gods. The noise startled him, as it did invariably when Sam
realized his dad was expecting visitors.

Except that this time, Azazel wasn’t. Security called to inform of his surprise
guests, so the door bell ringing did not take him by surprise. Still, Azazel
was curious as he wondered what those people were doing there.

“Hello,” he greeted the tall blond man and kissed the brown haired woman’s
hand. “Lydia…”

The two guests were welcomed into the living room and the door closed behind
them.

“To what do I owe the pleasure?” Azazel asked as he led the two vampires into
his house.

“We were near the city, so we thought we’d talk to you about the business
expansion.”

“We have a meeting about it next month,” Azazel pointed out.

“I know, but as he said, we were nearby,” the brown haired woman with wavy hair
opened a big smile.

At this moment, the three of them turned around at the sound of footsteps.

Sam stopped right on his tracks, on top of the stairs, and looked down at his
dad and the two people with him. Even though he knew he should have stayed in
his room, Sam just couldn’t help himself. The urgency to know was stronger than
the hesitation, so he decided to go and take a peek at his dad’s visitors.

“Oh, well. Hello there, sweet Prince,” the man with the killer blue eyes smiled
widely and leeringly.

Sam’s heart raced as he looked from the man to the woman now watching him with
evident lust and pleasure.

“Hey, Prince,” she licked her lips.

Those were two of the vampires that had joined Azazel in his bedroom to feed on
him. Sam had been drugged through most of it, but he remembered flashes of that
night, and when he realized those vampires were back, his blood went cold with
fear and he nearly tripped as he made his way back to his room.

“Aw, poor thing. We scared him,” the woman feigned a pout.

“I’ll go talk to him. But first, let me take you to my office.”

Azazel could see the fear in Sam’s eyes, and he was sure that he wasn’t the
only one who had smelled it, too. It was not in his plans to let his friends
have a taste of Samuel tonight, so he went up to the boy’s room in order to
reassure him.

As his guests waited in the office, Azazel walked into Sam’s room and told
Crowley to go.

When they were alone, Sam looked expectantly at his dad.

“Please, don’t…” he said before he could help it. “Not them; don’t let them...”

“Relax, sweetie.” Azazel walked towards the bed and sat on it. He placed a hand
on Sam’s knee and squeezed. “I wasn’t expecting them. It’ll be a quick business
meeting. You have nothing to worry.”

Sam felt himself relax considerably. “Promise?” Sam still remembered being
drugged, so he wondered whether his father really meant what he said. What if
he just planned on doing something without Sam being awake?

“Of course I do. Don’t you trust me?”

Not completely, Sam realized, but he nodded nonetheless.

“Good. Now stay in your room with Crowley as I go talk to them. I promise it’s
all right. They’ll be gone in an hour or so and then we’ll have dinner, okay?”

Sam nodded.

Azazel made as if he would stand up but then remembered something.

“Before I go…I could use something to make me strong and keep my mind sharp…”
he ran a fingertip ever so lightly across Sam’s jaw and touched the boy’s lips.
“Would you do this for daddy?” Azazel’s eyes were overly sweet, as was his
voice. He stroked Sam’s hair and waited.

“They won’t, right?”

“No. I’ll protect you. You can trust me.”

After a small moment of hesitation, Sam complied because he didn’t really have
a choice. His dad’s asking for his blood was just a nice way to put it.
Whenever Azazel wanted to feed, it was much more like an order, but he seemed
to enjoy asking for it and having Sam say yes, so the boy complied, because he
figured it would be in his best interest to keep his dad in a good mood. Maybe
that would make sure he kept his promise.

“Alright.” Sam reached out his hand, offering up his wrist.

Azazel took it and sank his teeth into it. Sam didn’t even flinch as his dad
drank for a minute or so.

When he was done, Azazel licked at his lips and smiled softly.

“I love you, you know that?” He leaned closer and kissed the boy’s forehead.
“Now stay here and read your book. Don’t worry. I’ll send Crowley back.”

Sam watched as his dad left his room. A moment later, Crowley came back, and in
the near distance they could hear the sound of a door closing—Azazel’s office,
probably.

After twenty minutes or so of silence in the house, Sam relaxed and picked up
his book once again.


~ * ~


The three vampires talked business behind locked doors for a while before the
blond man looked at his phone and frowned.

“Excuse me. I have to take this,” he looked at Azazel and at the woman and
seemed apologetic, “Damn it...this might take a while.”

“It's fine,” Azazel said.

“Gonna need some privacy. Be right back. Hello?” he answered the phone at the
same time he opened the office door and let himself out.

The man took a few steps pretending to have a whispered conversation on the
phone, but as soon as he realized he was alone, he put the phone back in one of
the pockets of his suit and smiled.

The tall blond man with the killer blue eyes went by the name of Gregory. He
had been turned into a vampire about two centuries ago, and never had he been
as excited as he felt tonight. Lydia, the brown haired vampire still in the
office with Azazel, believed they were in this together, but the truth was,
tonight it was all about him, Gregory thought.

With soft and sneaky footsteps, he made his way to the Prince’s room, and his
blood already buzzed fast with expectation.
Since the day Azazel had introduced them to his amazing boy, Gregory had been
unable to think of anything that wasn’t the sweet Prince with royal and magical
blood running through his veins. His meals no longer gave him any satisfaction,
and immortality itself had little to no meaning if he couldn’t taste the boy’s
blood again.

The way he had felt when he had sunk his teeth and drank from the boy had meant
the world to him, and until he could have it again, Gregory would not rest.
Even if it didn’t work out, even if Azazel found out and punished him, if he
could have the boy—not just drink, but possess the boy until he felt all that
power seeping into his own core, then everything would be worth it. Besides, he
believed there was a chance he could get away with it, but first he had to be
quick.

“Excuse me? I think you’re lost,” Crowley said as a tall blond man stood by
Sam’s door.

It all happened way too fast. In a moment, Sam was reading a book, comfortably
nestled in bed, in the next, there was brief conversation and a startling
realization that he was in trouble.

“Oh, so here is Prince Samuel’s bedroom?”

Crowley tensed. He had a bad feeling about that man and the predatory look on
his face. Azazel needed to select his company better, that lad was clearly
dying to get a taste of the boy.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t let you—” Crowley choked when a strong hand closed over
his throat and squeezed.

Sam gasped and the book fell off his hands. His eyes widened as he witnessed
the blond vampire choke Crowley.

“I’m afraid we’re not gonna need you.” The vampire punched Crowley’s face so
hard that unconsciousness came instantly. The moment the fingers around
Crowley’s neck let go, the bodyguard’s body fell with a thud on the floor and
the blond vampire stepped over him and into the room, towards the bed.

Sam’s heart raced and fell and his fingertips grew cold. He jumped out of the
bed and looked at the place where Crowley had fallen, obviously unable to help.
A red light seemed to flare in his mind with danger written all over it, and
when Sam could shake off some of his shock, he opened his mouth and prepared to
scream.

“Da—”

The vampire sensed the boy was about to ask for help, so he used his super
human speed to make sure he silenced him before he did it.

Sam felt a hand cover his mouth in the blink of an eye. He hadn’t even seen the
vampire move, but suddenly he was right there, a hand pressed to Sam’s mouth,
their bodies standing very close.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you. It’s not my intention at all to kill you,
sweet Prince boy, but I will do it if you make things too hard.”

Sam was breathing erratically through his nose, his pupils dilated as they
fixed on the killer blue eyes focused on him.

“If you play nice, I promise this won’t hurt. Make a sound and I’ll kill you,
though.” The vampire studied the boy. “Do we have an understanding? Will you be
good?”

Sam nodded as his heart slammed against his chest.

“Good.” The vampire let go of Sam.

Whether or not that vampire had said the truth, Sam didn’t care. Perhaps he
would indeed kill him, but Sam was willing to take that risk rather than just
stand quietly for whatever it was that he wanted to do.

“DAD!” Sam screamed at the top of his lungs.

“Damn it!” The vampire slapped Sam so hard that the boy fell on the floor and
the taste of blood filled his mouth.

Sam’s body trembled at the strength behind the blow. He licked at his teeth,
wondering if he had broken any, but they seemed fine. He then licked at his
lips and realized his bottom lip had a nasty cut and was pouring blood. Sam
looked at a silver ring on the man’s hand, now stained with red, and found the
reason why it hurt so much.

“You stupid little shit. You wanna make this hard? I can play hard. Now c’mon,
we don’t have much time.”

The tall blond man took a handkerchief from a pocket in his pants and shoved it
inside Sam’s mouth, muffling the boy’s protests as he picked him up and threw
him onto the bed.

The moment he found himself lying down, Sam was all fists and punches and
kicks, even as the vampire straddled him to keep him down.

“Fuck it. Just fucking stop!” The vampire took off his tie and wrestled with
the boy for a moment. He was way stronger and faster, but the boy was putting
on an impressive fight.

“Hmm!” Sam groaned when the vampire used the tie to bind his wrists together
and pin his hands above his head with his grip.

“You know I’ve been dreaming about you since the last time I tasted you? I
can’t get you off of my head. And now I have you again…”

The lust on the piercing blue eyes made Sam shudder. He shook his head
vehemently, but he couldn’t fight the vampire that sunk his fangs into his neck
and drank.

Sam squirmed and groaned, making it very difficult for the vampire to drink,
and consequently causing a nasty wound on himself. No matter how much he moved,
though, he could not seem to throw the heavier man off of him.

“So sweet…so bloody innocent…” the vampire licked at his red fangs and then
smiled a mysterious smile that made Sam’s soul freeze. “I can only imagine how
much sweeter it’ll taste when you’re mine.” The vampire tore Sam’s shirt off
his body and licked at the boy’s bare chest.

“MM!” Sam twisted, filled with anger and disgust.

“I don’t know what’s gonna happen tonight, but one thing I do know. Whatever
precious little gift Azazel’s been saving, it’s all mine now.”

The vampire ripped open the button in Sam’s jeans and pulled them down, along
with his underwear.

“MMMM!!!” Sam’s groans and cries were muffled by the handkerchief, and his
heart was beating so fast that he thought he might get sick or faint at any
moment.

He watched, with horror taking over every inch of his body, as the vampire
pulled down his pants, exposing a stiff erection between his legs, and crawled
over his body.

“Prince Samuel…Arthur, Lancelot and Morgana…” the vampire touched the boy’s
lips softly. “So sweet, so special…”

Sam frowned with bewilderment and writhed with revulsion at the touch.

The vampire couldn’t help himself. He removed the gagging cloth from Sam’s
mouth and slammed his mouth into the boy’s, kissing him hard and bruisingly.

“I’m gonna take your virginity,” he whispered against the prince’s lips. “I’m
gonna make you mine.”

“My dad’ll kill you,” Sam threatened. But the truth was that he was terrified.
Where was his dad?? Why hadn’t he come to save him by now?

“Not if I can fuck you first. Do you think he’ll still want you after I’ve
corrupted you?” the man grinned. “Aw, baby, the moment my seed is inside you,
daddy won’t give a fuck about you anymore. In fact, he might very well sell you
to me.”

Sam wouldn’t listen to that. Those were poisonous words meant to scare him.

He didn’t realize he was shaking his head until the vampire sneered at him.

“You think he actually cares about you? Well, we’ll see then, won’t we? We’ll
see how much he cares after I’m done branding you.”

“NO! DAD!” Sam screamed again, and this time the punch made his head spin and
he blacked out for a split second. The handkerchief was shoved back into his
mouth, and it tasted of blood from Sam’s split lip.

When Sam opened his eyes, his vision was blurred and his right eye felt puffy.
His cheek throbbed painfully, but nothing was worse than the panic that grabbed
at him when the vampire started to spread his thighs.

“Did you hear that?” Azazel asked the brown haired woman sitting in front of
him.

“No, what?” she feigned. “But what about the details of the contract? Do you
think we could make a difference if we rewrote paragraph three?” She tried to
get Azazel to focus on the documents spread before his eyes.

For a while, it seemed as if Azazel would say something else or move, and the
woman was stiff in her chair. Then, Azazel shrugged and looked at the papers
again, resuming the conversation about business.

She hoped that Gregory was being able to carry out their plan. The reason why
they had come to Azazel’s mansion tonight was simple and straightforward, they
wanted to kidnap his precious prized boy. Lydia had agreed to distract Azazel
as Gregory made sure to take the boy away. What she didn’t know was that the
tall blond vampire didn’t care so much about walking out of there with the boy
as much as he cared about his own pleasure, even if that was a short-lived one.

Gregory hadn’t told Lydia that he thought they might very well die that night
at the hands of Azazel, because the only thing that mattered to him was having
the boy once again, and being inside him before that happened. For Lydia,
though, he didn’t say any of that. He got her to play along with promises of
Samuel’s sweet blood over and over for as long as they could want, and then an
orgy with just the three of them.

Lydia could hardly wait to taste the prince again.

“What is taking Greg so long?” Azazel frowned.

“Must be an important call,” the female vampire shrugged off.

The muffled sound came again, and this time Azazel’s instincts kicked off.

In a matter of seconds, he put together the blond man’s absence and the muffled
sound that sounded a lot like screaming coming from far away, and his senses
became fully alert.

“Let me guess, you haven’t heard that either,” he snarled and placed both of
his hands flat on the table.

As he started to move, though, Lydia got on her feet and drew out her fangs.

“Lydia.” Azazel narrowed his eyes and fear stabbed at him. Sam. They want
Sam. “Get out of my way.”

“I’m sorry, Azazel. The boy is ours now. I can’t let you out of here.”

Suddenly, Azazel became very aware that whatever was happening to Sam needed
his immediate attention. Every second mattered, so he would have to get rid of
that vampire as fast as possible.

“You don’t wanna fight me,” he warned.

“Oh, believe, I do. For that sweet piece of heaven of a boy, I very much do.”

Azazel thought of the sword he had in his wardrobe, hanging behind his suits.
He knew he would be using that very soon.

The next second was filled with the sounds of grunting and hissing as the two
vampires went at each other’s throats.


~ * ~


“MM!!” Sam writhed and kicked, desperately trying to get away. He looked at the
place where Crowley lay unconscious and started praying that he would wake up
soon.

“Stop moving! This won’t hurt too much.” The vampire’s large hands groped Sam’s
ribcage, leaving bruises as he tried to hold the boy down so he could force him
to submit.

‘No…no….get away from me,’ Sam’s thoughts were frantic and wild, and his
adrenaline was so high that he barely felt the pain of the injuries being
inflicted upon his body.

The vampire sunk his teeth into Sam’s neck and groaned with pleasure. Sam tried
to struggle but his hands were tied and he was no match for a vampire. He felt
the man settle between his thighs, and then he felt the man’s hard sex pressing
against his entrance.

“MMM!!” Sam twisted and tried to jerk away. He felt dizzy with the amount of
adrenaline rushing to every corner of his body. His chest felt hot and his
hands and feet were ice-cold. His breathing was fast and scared as his heels
kept digging into the sheets.

The vampire licked his lips and held on to Sam’s hips to keep the boy steady.

“I shall drink your innocence as it fades into my own blood.” The fangs pierced
Sam’s neck again and this time the vampire pushed forward.

‘NO! PLEASE….’ Sam felt a burning pain as the man tried to push into him. He
managed to snap his legs shut and twist away from the feeling. Sam cried, and
he didn’t think he would be able to get away. When the man got a more bruising
grip on his hips and was able to hold his thighs firmly open, Sam knew he
couldn’t fight it.

The boy shut his eyes tightly and gritted his jaw as he braced himself. His
forehead was wrinkled with despair, and Sam wondered how much it would hurt.

Oddly, though, the push never came. There was a swift, cutting sound, and the
fingers on his hips loosened.

When Sam opened his eyes, his heart was still beating in his throat at the
sight before him. His dad was standing by the edge of the bed, a sword in his
hand and blood on his clothes. There was blood all over Azazel’s shirt—and in
the office too, a lot of blood, but Sam didn’t know that. There was blood on
the bed, the sheets soaked with it, and then Sam understood why.

He looked at his naked body and saw the beheaded blond man, his killer blue
eyes now dull and dead.

Sam started shaking uncontrollably. His dad came closer and removed the
bloodied handkerchief from his mouth, but Sam barely registered it. He looked
at the bed and the sheets, completely red by now, and his skin, naked and red
with the man’s blood, and the head lying on his lap, still looking at him.

“Samuel, are you okay?”

Sam was shaking, he was shaking so hard he might never stop shaking.

“Samuel?”

When Sam raised his eyes and looked at his dad, it was like everything sank in
all at once. He opened his lips but no sound came out.

“What is it?” Azazel put a hand on his shoulder.

Sam tried to speak but a sob left his throat. He looked at the head on his lap
and felt all that warm blood pooling around him. The vampire had drunk plenty
of his blood before he was killed, which meant that a lot of that warm blood
all over him was his own blood, thick and red and warm against his skin.

A shudder raked him so hard that Sam rocked back and forth. He parted his lips
again, and this time he screamed.

     comments are pure love that help me find time <3.
 
 
Chapter 50
 


Azazel untied Sam’s hands quickly and grabbed the boy’s shoulder to try and
make Sam snap out of that panicked state of mind.

Crowley woke up with the screaming and his hand went to his throbbing head. He
quickly remembered the circumstances that had led him to be unconscious in the
first place and stood up in a heartbeat, looking around worriedly. What he saw
took his breath away.

The prince was sitting on his bed covered in blood, with a severed head on his
lap. There was a bloody sword lying by Azazel’s feet as he shook the boy
lightly.

“What happened?” Crowley asked, but no one answered. He could hear noise coming
from downstairs, the steps of nervous and curious employees moving around.

“Oh my God, Samuel, did he…?” Azazel shuddered at the thought. No, no…that
couldn’t have happened, not his precious boy, please no… “…did he defile you?”

Sam looked at his dad as if he had grown a third eye or something. Was he
seriously asking him that?

“What…?” Sam asked feebly, disbelief and anger building fast inside him.

“Please tell me he didn’t do it. Tell me he didn’t take you.”

Sam started shaking. His awareness returned at the same his self control
slipped away. He jumped up from the bed and stood face to face with his dad.
Sam looked so deeply into his eyes that Azazel took a step back before Sam even
opened his mouth.

“This is all you care about it, isn’t it?! You don’t give a fuck about me! All
you care about is my stupid virginity!!” Sam snapped. “You wouldn’t care less
if he’d tortured me or drank me dry as long as he didn’t fuck me.”

“Baby, calm down…”

There was a loud, shrilling sound coming from outside the bedroom. Some other
employee had probably found the beheaded body in Azazel’s office.

“Crowley, can you deal with that, please? Tell everyone to exit the house now!
I’ll deal with them when I’m ready.”

“Yes, sir.”

Crowley was relieved to leave the room. It felt like the prince still had a lot
to say and it wasn’t going to be pretty.

Sam walked towards his sleeping robe and wrapped it around his naked body with
unsteady fingers. The delicate fabric was soon tainted with blood.

“Samuel, of course I care about you, you’re my world. I just need to know if I
was too late; I need to know if he…” Azazel’s heart was racing.

“He didn’t!” Sam gritted his teeth and he was all anger and shock and residual
fear. “He didn’t fuck me. He didn’t corrupt my precious blood. Are you happy
now?” Sam wanted it to sound every bit as angry as he felt inside, but the
tears were welling up fast. He blinked, and when he did so, they ran down his
cheeks and Sam realized he looked more panicked than anything else.

Azazel felt relief wash over him. Yes, everything was a mess, a big fucking
mess, but it would be alright with time. Sam was angry now, and scared, and
that was perfectly understandable. God, Azazel himself was angry and scared,
too. He had almost lost what he cared about the most in his life. And all
because of one moment of distraction.

“It’s okay, Samuel…” Azazel tried to grab the boy’s shoulder but Sam stepped
back, out of reach.

“Don’t touch me! Don’t fucking touch me!”

“You need to calm down, sweetie. It’s okay now—”

“You!” Sam gritted his teeth, and even though his eyes weren’t yellow, there
seemed to be flames coming out of them. “This is all your fault! This is ON
YOU!”

“Samuel…”

When Crowley walked back into the room to give Azazel a quick update on his
employees, he saw the boy stand up to his father with such fierce determination
that he didn’t dare move as the scene unfolded.

“You treat me like I’m a fucking prize or something! You show me off to your
freak friends like I’m this perfect gift you’ve got…” Sam’s lips were drawn
back as the words stumbled out of his mouth. “That serves you right for letting
them have a go at me. This is all on you!!”

Azazel knew the boy was right. If he hadn’t shared him in the first place, none
of that would have happened. He had gotten too cocky and certain that he could
protect the boy. Azazel had wanted to show off his possession and inspire
jealously. And indeed, he had achieved that, and he had almost lost it all
because of it.

“I’m sorry, baby…I never meant to…”

“To what? Drug me and tie me up so your friends could try me like a fancy
dessert? Are you sorry for the decapitated body of the man who just tried to
rape me in my own bedroom, under your nose?”

Azazel didn’t know what to say. He was still in shock and grateful that he had
arrived in time.

“I’m out of here!” Sam made up his mind quickly. “Crowley, take my backpack and
get my things. I’m going to father Bobby’s church.”

“Wait…” Azazel grabbed the boy’s wrist.

Sam looked deeply into his dad’s eyes with something so honestly fierce and
wild that Azazel let him go.

The vampire’s eyes met Crowley’s and he nodded lightly for Crowley to do as
told and go with him. Azazel would handle the mess in the house on his own.

During the next rushed minutes, Azazel stood there and witnessed as his heir
stormed out of the mansion with Crowley following right after him. Never had he
seen Sam so disturbed and angry, but Azazel knew the boy’s emotions were
understandably messy after all that had just happened. He couldn’t really blame
the kid for wanting to flee from a house where a dead, beheaded body bled out
on his bed.

It would be alright, of course, but right now Azazel let Sam have his time and
space to calm down. Besides, he had a lot to deal with at home anyway.


~ * ~


Bobby had been reading when he heard the insistent knock on the door. It was
two AM in the night, but insomnia sometimes struck and caused Bobby to spend
hours leafing through old books. That was one of those nights where it felt
like Bobby would go well into the night reading in the silence of the church.

The frantic knocking made him doubt that would be a regular night, though.
Bobby put down his book and got up from behind his desk.

Who was it? ‘Not, John, please…’ Bobby thought as he made his way towards the
door. He wasn’t in the mood to fight, and if John Winchester was the one
banging on his door in the middle of the night then Bobby doubted he—

“Sam?” Bobby frowned and looked at the young teenager standing in front of him.
The first thing he noticed was the swollen eye and the bleeding bottom lip.
Then he saw a lot of blood on the boy’s clothes and his heart raced. “What
happened?! Are you okay?” Bobby pulled Sam into the church, and that was when
he noticed Crowley standing right behind the boy, his nose and forehead bruised
as if he had taken a blow.

The two guests walked into the church and Bobby closed the door behind them.
The place inside was drowned in a dim, golden light, but it was enough for
Bobby to realize something was terribly wrong judging by the look of Sam and by
Crowley’s meaningful silence.

“I didn’t know where to go at this time so I came here. Is that okay?” the
words were small and insecure, but at least Sam had had some time during the
trip there to get a grip on his emotions. He wasn’t crying anymore, neither was
he angry. He was still a bit shaky, but right now he felt weirdly calm.

“Yeah, of course it is. What the hell happened, though?”

Crowley looked at the priest who had just cursed and they exchanged a look in
silence. If Sam didn’t want to say anything, it wasn’t up to Crowley to talk
about it.

“I just…” Sam shrugged. “I don’t really wanna talk now.”

“You’re hurt. Is this blood yours? You need to go to the hospital.”

“It’s not mine,” Sam reassured Bobby. “I’m fine. Just, please…not now, okay?”

Bobby nodded, feeling a bit calmer knowing that wasn’t Sam’s blood.

“Do you need anything? What can I do for you?” he asked.

“I’m not going back home tonight.”

“It’s okay, you can stay here.” Bobby looked at the boy’s battered face again
and his heart tightened. There was a nasty wound on Sam’s neck too. John’s
words came rushing back and slapped his thoughts. “Sam, did your father…?”

Sam shook his head vehemently. “No. Please, Bobby. I can’t.”

“Alright. I’ll get some ice, okay?”

“Get Dean.” Sam’s words blurted from his mouth before he knew he was going to
utter them. “Can you…please…get him here?” Sam felt the shaking threaten him
again, and his eyes welled up with something tingly, but Sam swallowed the lump
in his throat and held on. There was only one thing he needed, one person.

Bobby looked at Crowley again, and they eyed each other for a long minute.
Crowley then sighed and nodded.

“I know where he lives. I’ll get him.”

Sam watched as Crowley left the church towards the limo parked outside.

“Come here, kid. Let’s put some ice on that lip and eye.”

Sam followed Bobby down the stairs in absolute silence.

The older man picked up some ice, wrapped it first in a handkerchief and then
plastic before offering it to the boy. “Start with your eye. It looks worse
than the lip.”

Sam nodded. He looked around at what seemed to be Bobby’s most private space
inside the church, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

“Do you wanna go wait in the classroom?” Bobby asked after reading Sam’s
attitude.

“Yes, please.”

Bobby led the way to the classroom Sam was familiar with, and they sat down in
silence for a moment as the boy pressed the ice to his blackening eye. The
priest studied the prince quietly, painfully aware that the boy was hurt and
didn’t want to open up.

“There’s a lot of blood on your robe. Are you sure you’re not hurt anywhere
else?” he asked.

Sam shook his head. “I told you it’s not mine.”

Bobby’s heart raced again. What the hell had happened in Sam’s house? Why
wasn’t Azazel there? Bobby knew the doctor was extremely protective of the boy,
and the thought that Azazel would let Sam leave in the middle of the night,
injured and covered in blood, was outrageous. Something really serious must
have happened.

“Is your dad alright?” Bobby asked, wondering if anyone else had been hurt.

“He’s fine.”

“Won’t he come looking for you?”

“Not tonight. He’s got more pressing matters.”

“Does it involve the blood on your clothes?”

Sam nodded. He knew that nothing would happen to his dad after tonight. Even
though there were two dead bodies in his home, the police would leave him alone
because Azazel had strategically placed influence all over the law enforcement
of the town. The dead bodies in his house were not only outsiders, they were
also not human. The police probably wouldn’t even know something like that had
happened in the wealthy doctor’s mansion. As for the employees, they had seen
enough to know when to keep quiet, so his dad probably wouldn’t have to worry
about that. Nothing a hefty raise in payment couldn’t settle.

“Do you wanna tell me what happened?” Bobby asked gently.

Sam shook his head. His eye was throbbing and there was piercing pain in his
lip when he tried to speak. He hadn’t processed everything that happened yet.
He didn’t feel like talking about it, and definitely not to Bobby.

Sam felt the tears threaten to come again. He felt lost and betrayed and so
alone. He was hurt, so hurt that it hurt even more. He didn’t know what he was
supposed to feel or do, but he fought the tears bravely, even though it felt
like swallowing a knife that pressed at his throat from inside.

There were steps echoing just outside the classroom, and Sam’s heart rattled
inside his ribcage with anticipation. The door burst open a few seconds later
and Dean looked around, his eyes wide and worried.

“Sam?”

“I’m here.”

Dean cringed at the injuries on Sam’s face but didn’t think twice. He walked
towards the boy and pulled him into a much welcomed and needed embrace.

Sam didn’t know what Crowley had told Dean to get him out of bed and into the
church, but it was enough to make Dean look worried sick and nervous. Sam could
feel every bit of Dean’s preoccupation in the tight way in which he was being
held. For the first time that night, Sam found comfort and relaxed.

Bobby looked at the scene intently, unable to look away from the way the boys
held each other.

“It’s okay now,” Dean spoke softly into Sam’s ear, his voice so low and gentle
that it was barely above a whisper. He let his lips touch the boy’s brown hair,
kissing the top of Sam’s head and never loosening the grip on him.

“Thank you for coming.” Sam moved a little and nuzzled Dean’s neck, not caring
that other people were there, just craving the feeling of warm safety that
wrapped all over him with Dean’s touch.

When the boy buried his head against his neck and sighed, Dean closed his eyes
and listened to the way his heart beat fast.

Bobby’s heart was also beating fast, but for an entirely different reason.
Crowley didn’t seem to mind the obvious intimacy between the boys, but Crowley
didn’t know what Bobby did. He didn’t know they might very well be family.

At first, Bobby cursed himself mentally for being so naive. But then, to be
fair, he had suspected the boys were more than friends since the beginning, and
in all truth he had done everything he could to try and convince himself
otherwise. Now, though, as he saw the tight and tangled embrace, and the loving
way in which Dean held and comforted Sam, Bobby knew it wasn’t only friendship,
neither was it something casual. He could tell the boys were in love.

“Well, I’ll be damned,” he murmured quietly, and only Crowley heard him and
arched his eyebrows at him. Bobby dismissed the look quickly and looked away.
What was he supposed to do now? If John was right, and the more Bobby thought
about it, the more he believed he was, then the two fools had fallen in love
unaware they were the same blood. It wasn’t their fault, how could they have
known? But perhaps if Bobby had said something sooner, if he had tried to
prevent it… ‘How?!’ His mind protested as he watched the embrace loosen but the
boys stand very close and communicate with a silent and yet meaningful exchange
of looks.

‘Well, it’s not like I can tell them now’, Bobby pondered. Sam was hurt and in
need of someone who understood him, someone who could offer him solace and
perhaps help him open up. If Bobby told them what he knew now no good would
come out of it. Besides, he still strongly believed it was not his place to be
the one breaking this bombastic news. Especially now that they were together,
finding out they were brothers would crush them, and both of them seemed to
benefit so much from this connection. It tore Bobby up not knowing what to do,
because even though he knew it was wrong, it didn’t feel wrong at all.

Dean was running the ball of his finger over Sam’s split lip as their hands
found one another and their fingers held on possessively.

“Keep the ice,” Dean instructed softly and helped Sam put it back against his
swollen eye.

“I’m okay now. It doesn’t even hurt that much.” Although Sam knew it must look
ugly judging by the look of concern both Bobby and now Dean had given him upon
seeing his face.

“Will your father come looking for you?” Dean asked and then he eyed Crowley as
well.

“No. I don’t think so,” Sam said and found Crowley’s eyes, too.

“I don’t believe it, either. He’s got a lot on his hands, and he knows you’re
safe with Bobby,” he said.

“Do you wanna sleep at my place?” Dean offered.

“Yes.” Sam didn’t even have to think about his answer. He was nodding his head
before anyone had a chance to say anything.

For a moment, Bobby wondered how far the two of them had already taken their
relationship, but he told himself he definitely did not want to go there.

“Whatever you want, Sam. If it’ll make you feel better,” Bobby began.

“Yes. I wanna go.”

“I’ll drive you two, then. C’mon.”

Crowley didn’t protest. There was absolutely no reason why Sam shouldn’t be
with someone who loved him and who would protect him tonight. After he and
Azazel had just failed terribly to keep him safe, it was only fair Sam turned
to the one person who hadn’t disappointed him so far.

“If you need anything just let me know,” Bobby said as he watched them get
ready to leave.

“Thank you, Bobby,” Sam said.

Before they left, Dean looked into Bobby’s eyes and nodded thankfully. Bobby
nodded back, but little did Dean know the conflicting thoughts going around
Bobby’s head at the moment. In the end, Bobby took comfort in the fact that
whatever the best thing was in this case, telling them or not, it wouldn’t
happen tonight. Tonight there was way too much going on already and he didn’t
need to add any more distress to whatever had happened in Sam’s life. And
whatever it was, he truly hoped Dean would be able to give the boy the comfort
he needed and that he deserved.


~ * ~


“Here, don’t forget your things.” Crowley gave Sam a backpack filled with some
of his stuff that he had packed as they left hastily. Crowley then dropped them
off at the beach shack and drove back to the mansion. He knew Azazel would be
needing all the help he could have to deal with the corpses in his house, and
for now things were all right as long as he believed Sam was in church with his
teacher.

When they were alone inside Dean’s home, Sam looked around and tightened his
hands around his backpack.

“I hope Crowley didn’t startle you too much. It’s no big deal, I’m fine.”

“At first I thought it might be a trap, you know. I was afraid your dad had
figured out about us. But then he mentioned you were hurt…”

“It could still have been a trap,” Sam pointed out.

“I know. But I couldn’t wait and see.” Dean recalled how fast his heart had
started beating the moment he thought Sam might be in danger or hurt. Even if
it had been a trap, he didn’t regret having followed his instincts.

“Thanks…” Sam smiled lightly, because anything further and his lip would crack
and start bleeding again.

“This blood…” Dean looked at Sam again and his heart tightened. It was a lot of
blood, but oddly enough Sam seemed fine. Besides, there was also an ugly wound
he hadn’t seen before on the boy’s neck, and that caused Dean’s blood to grow
cold with fear.

“It’s not mine. Do you think it’s okay if I take a shower?”

“Yeah, of course.”

“Good.” Sam was dying to wash the vampire’s blood off of his skin. He was dying
to wash that entire night off, actually.

Dean waited in bed as Sam went into the bathroom with his backpack and turned
on the shower. The boy stayed there for about fifteen minutes before he emerged
wearing white pajamas of a soft fabric.

“Feeling better?” Dean asked as the boy walked towards the bed, but Sam didn’t
reply.

Instead, Sam climbed in bed with Dean and kissed his mouth. The kiss made him
flinch a little because his lip hurt, but Sam didn’t stop, not even when he
tasted blood as Dean kissed back.

“Sam?” Dean asked in between kisses, taken aback by the surge of affection.

“It’s okay. I want it. I’m so tired of waiting, so tired of my whole life being
about this…”

“What are you talking about?”

Dean had no idea what had happened to Sam tonight, and the more the boy touched
him and kissed him, the more puzzled Dean felt.

“I want this, Dean. I want it now, please…” Sam ran his hands down Dean’s shirt
and pulled it off. Then he pulled his own pyjama shirt off and went back to
kissing Dean’s lips and neck and kneading his shoulders and arms possessively.

“Slow down, Sammy…just let me understand this…” Dean searched for the boy’s
eyes but Sam was busy working on the button of Dean’s jeans.

“I can’t stand this anymore. Tonight made me realize that I’m not this boy I’m
supposed to be, I don’t want this burden anymore. I want to get this over
with,” his voice was shaky but Sam was determined not to stop. “Please Dean,
just do it, just take me…”

Sam’s hand went for Dean’s crotch and he slipped it under his jeans and
underwear. “Fuck me tonight, please…right here and now…”

Dean’s head was spinning. Those were the words he longed to hear, but something
wasn’t right. “Sam, wait.”

“No.”

The boy cupped Dean’s cock and jerked him, but Dean did not respond. Even
though Sam fumbled with his inexperienced touching, Dean was limp against his
fingers. “What’s wrong?” Sam’s voice sounded dangerously close to a whine.
“Don’t you want me? Why don’t you get hard? Why can’t we do it now?”

“Shh….it’s okay…” Dean framed Sam’s face between his hands and spoke softly to
him.

“No, what’s wrong? I want it. I’m ready, why don’t you get hard and take me?
Please, c’mon, Dean.”

“It’s alright, Sammy. It’s okay,” he whispered gently.

“No, it’s not! Why can’t we have sex?!”

“Because you’re crying, that’s why.”

Chapter 51



Dean wiped the tears off Sam’s cheek with his thumbs, and that was when Sam
realized Dean was right. The boy gave up trying to stimulate Dean and fell into
his embrace.

Dean held him tight in silence as Sam calmed down. When the boy moved and broke
the embrace, Sam’s tears had dried, but his face still looked a mess because of
the split lip and the black eye.

There were so many questions Dean wanted to ask, but he was almost afraid to
begin. Something told him he wouldn’t like any of what Sam might tell him, so
Dean dreaded it before he knew it.

Sam took deep breaths and felt himself begin to let go of the night events. He
had been holding so much tension since that vampire had shown up at his room,
that only now, as his muscles loosened, did Sam realize he was truly relaxing
for the first time since it had happened.

He knew Dean needed to know what had taken place, and Sam loved him for not
pushing right now. Dean gave him time and waited, and when Sam felt ready he
started to speak.

“My father didn’t do it.”

Sam himself didn’t know why that was the first thing he said, but it felt like
something he should say.

Dean didn’t even have time to process a proper response to that because Sam
went on.

“But it was his fault.”

That, coming from Sam, took Dean by surprise, so instead of saying something,
the older man just kept quiet and waited for Sam to go on.

“He didn’t do this, but he didn’t stop it either.” Sam explained. “In fact, I
think he kind of caused it in the first place, what with the way he treats me.”

“You wanna tell me what happened?” Dean asked softly, because Sam was beginning
to talk in riddles.

Sam nodded. He did. He just didn’t know where to start.

“Wait, let me get some ice so you can put on your eye. I’m afraid it’s gonna
look pretty nasty tomorrow.”

Sam waited for Dean to go to the kitchen and come back with an ice bag.

“Here.”

Sam took it and carefully put it against his eye. It was hurting far worse than
his lip.

Dean rested his back against the headboard and waited for Sam to speak. The boy
took a deep breath and lowered his eyes to the sheets as he recalled the
previous events of the night.

“My dad had visitors tonight. I don’t think he was expecting them. There was
this couple of vampires at the door, and my dad took them to his office for a
meeting. These people, a man and a woman, I had seen them before. They were
there the night I was drugged.” Sam made a small pause. “They had already drunk
from me.”

Dean didn’t want to interrupt Sam. He listened to the boy as patiently as he
could, even though his blood was already becoming hotter at the idea of
vampires drinking Sam’s blood while he was drugged.

“I was in my room with Crowley when the male vampire showed up at the door. I
knew it meant trouble before anything happened. The man punched Crowley
unconscious when he tried to stand up to him, and he was right next to me in a
heartbeat. I wanted to scream to warn my father, because I knew there was no
way dad had consented to him being there, but the man kept me from screaming.
He said he wanted to drink from me again. When he let me go for a while I
screamed, and that was when he hit me.”

Dean chewed the inside of his bottom lip and his heart raced with protective
rage.

“I tried to fight him but he was obviously stronger. He bit me and drank, but
that wasn’t all he wanted.” Sam felt his chest buzz with adrenaline as if it
was all happening again. “He took my pants off and said he would take my
virginity.”

“He didn’t.” Dean seethed. His knuckles turned white as he closed his hands
into tight fists. His eyes narrowed and his breathing became labored.

“He said he was going to take me. He said dad wouldn’t care about me after he
corrupted me. I tried to push him away but it was impossible.”

“Sammy, did he…hurt you?” Dean felt his chest ache and shrink at the thought.

“He tried to. I thought he would have his way, but he couldn’t go through with
it.”

Dean’s heart was beating erratically and he didn’t even blink.

“I’ll kill him. I’ll fucking kill him.” Dean jumped up and out of the bed and
started to pace back and forth as if searching for a murder weapon.

“Dean, wait. Come back here,” Sam called from the bed.

“I can’t! I can’t just sit back down! I can’t let this fucking asshole go on
living and breathing after what he’s done to you!”

“He didn’t actually…”

“It doesn’t matter, he tried to! And he hurt you, and he scared you, and when I
put my hands on him…”

“Come back here, Dean…” Sam tried again.

“I’ll be back. You just tell me where I can find him and I swear it’ll be
quick. I’ll…”

“He’s dead, Dean.”

Dean stopped in his tracks and turned to face Sam in the bed. For a moment,
Dean looked very confused, so Sam sighed and went on.

“My dad finally realized something was wrong. He walked into the room and
stopped the man from raping me. Dad killed him. He beheaded him with a sword.”

Dean’s eyes widened and he walked back to the bed and sat down next to Sam.

“I’m sorry, did you say beheaded?”

Sam nodded. He moved the ice a little as it grew uncomfortably cold against his
skin.

“Apparently that’s how you kill a vampire. There was a gush of blood all over
me in bed. It was disgusting. It was like my bed was a pool of blood. That’s
why there was so much of it on my clothes as well.”

Dean realized he was picturing the scene despite really not wanting to. The
thought of Sam in a pool of the blood of the man who had just tried to rape him
was horrific.

“What happened then?” he asked softly.

“I don’t know,” Sam shrugged. “It’s like a blur, it happened so fast. My father
asked whether the man had managed to rape me or not, I got pissed…I yelled at
him, we fought…I told him I was leaving. Crowley drove me to the church, then I
asked Bobby to see you.”

Dean took a long and deep breath. He reached out gently and took the ice away
from Sam’s face for a moment. He then leaned closer and kissed Sam’s bruised
eye lightly, right before he kissed the boy’s lips just as tenderly.

“I’m so sorry this happened to you. No one should ever experience that. But to
have this happen in your bedroom, in the place where you’re supposed to be
safe…that’s just awful. I wish I’d been there to stop it.”

“I wish I could have stopped it myself.”

Sam looked at Dean and a strong thought occurred to him. “You can fight,
right?”

Dean frowned.

“You fought that guy at the beach, the one who was harassing his girlfriend.
The guy came at you but you fought him. You can defend yourself.”

“Well…yeah. My dad’s taught me a few moves.”

“Teach me, please. I want to be able to defend myself. I’m tired of feeling so
helpless like I need someone to look after me because I can’t do things on my
own…that’s not who I really am, Dean.” The boy’s eyes were full of something
intense right now, and even though he was pleading, there was a lot of strength
behind this intensity. “Teach me how to fight. Please.”

“Of course…yeah,” Dean agreed. “I can teach you what I know.”

Sam’s eyes lit up and he smiled, but it was a small smile because his skin
broke and hurt when he tried to stretch it. The pain caused him to fall into
thought and pretty soon there was sadness clouding his face again.

“What is it?” Dean asked when the boy seemed withdrawn again.

“Nothing…I just…I keep thinking that none of this would have happened if my dad
didn’t treat me as a fucking prize or something. He makes other vampires
jealous because he has me. When I think about it, I’m surprised it didn’t
happen sooner. He was supposed to protect me, you know?”

Dean knew he was walking on thin ice now. On one hand, he desperately wanted to
agree and help Sam tear his father’s reputation to pieces. On the other hand,
he knew Sam was in a vulnerable moment and might regret whatever he was saying
now. If Dean was too vehement to agree, perhaps Sam would resent it when he was
able to put this night behind him.

“I know. I get it. Why do you think he treats you like this?”

“I don’t know. He says my blood is special. Something about kings and magic and
whatever he speaks about that I can’t really understand.”

“Sam…” Dean thought about everything the boy had just told him. “Are you
worried that vampire might've spoken the truth?”

“About what?”

“When he said your father wouldn’t care about you if you weren’t a virgin
anymore. Do you believe that?”

Sam felt his eyes sting with a different kind of pain than the one throbbing in
his eye and lip. He found the ice bag and put it against his lip as he thought
about Dean’s question.

“It was the first thing he asked me when he killed the vampire. It’s like this
is all he cares.”

“But it can’t possibly be true. I mean, I’m not going to defend your father
because you know how I feel about the shitty stuff he puts you through. I think
he’s abusive and evil, but…well, he is your father, so I suppose he cares about
you. That isn’t going to change based on your sex life.”

Sam didn’t seem convinced because Dean didn’t really know that.

“Sometimes it feels like all he sees when he looks at me is this precious
prince with delicious blood. I know he cares, but…” Sam searched for the right
words. “I’m so tired of being this boy he wants me to be.”

“Is that why you wanted us to have sex now?”

Sam nodded.

“I know the timing was messed up and all…it just felt like if I just do it and
get it over with then I don’t have to be that boy anymore, then I could be
free…whether he keeps loving me or not, it would set me free.”

“I understand that. And as much as I want us to have sex, and believe me, as
much as it would please me without a doubt to piss your dad off, this shouldn’t
be the reason for us to have sex. Do you understand it?”

“I do.” Sam nodded. “I agree. I don’t want my father to be the reason we have
sex. As much as I want to break free from what happens at home, I don’t want to
use what we have for that.”

“Exactly. When we have sex we do it because you want to fuck me as much as I
want to fuck you. We do it because we’re passionate and hot and fucking want
each other all the way.”

“I… I’m sorry I tried to push you before,” Sam said. “I know it’s not right,
but after what that vampire tried to do…he got so close. He almost took from me
what my dad says is the most precious thing I have. I almost lost this tonight,
and I want it to be with you. I just felt like we had to do it fast before
something happened again…”

“I know. I get it. But that’s not true, baby. That’s not the most precious
thing you have. Even if that son of a bitch had taken from you what he wanted,
that wouldn’t have changed how fucking precious you are to me. I don’t love you
because you’re a virgin, Sammy. I almost love you in spite of it,” Dean
chuckled lightly. “Seriously, though, I love you because you are you, and you
are smart and sweet and strong and amazing. None of that would have changed if
the worst had happened tonight.”

Sam put the ice bag away and smiled. He felt a lump in his throat, but it was a
good one, and Dean could tell the emotions wrapping themselves around the boy
at this very moment were good ones.

“Thank you for saying that.”

“It’s the truth.” Dean studied the boy and Sam still seemed troubled. “What is
it?”

“Nothing…”

“Sam… what are you thinking about?”

Sam’s heart raced and he felt a little shy.

“It’s not just my father…not just about not being a prize anymore.”

Dean frowned as he tried to understand what the boy meant.

“Is there another reason why you came on to me just now?”

Sam nodded and bit down on his lip.

“What is it?” Dean coaxed softly.

“When I got out of the shower and you were there…it occurred to me that if we
just did it then nothing like that would happen again. No vampire would try to
rape me if my blood wasn’t so special anymore.”

That actually hurt to hear. Dean wanted to promise Sam nothing like that would
ever happen again, but so much about the boy’s life was beyond Dean’s control.
He didn’t want to make empty promises.

“You know I’m here to help with whatever you need, right? I’ll give my life to
keep you safe. But this means you’re afraid, and fear isn’t a good reason to
have sex either.”

“I want us to do it because we want it, too,” Sam agreed. It would be so easy
to confront his dad and go ahead and defy his rules by sleeping with Dean. Sam
could say yes and let it happen just out of spite, just to prove a point, just
to break free. But Dean was right, they deserved so much more than that. “I
don’t want to do it because someone else may force me.” They deserved love and
passion and truth, not anger or fear.

“Good.”

“I just…I want it to happen but…I see now that my dad’s prohibition is an
important part of what keeps me, but it isn’t the only thing stopping me as I
thought it was.”

“It’s good that you realize this. What else is keeping you?”

“I’m afraid. Not of the act itself. I mean, perhaps a little of the act
itself…” Sam admitted. “But so much of my life has revolved around this and
what it means to be innocent…I’m afraid of how this will change me. I’m afraid
of who I will be after this.”

“Then that’s what you need to figure out, okay? Forget your father’s rules and
everything else. I’ll help you deal with whatever happens between you and him.
But you have to focus on yourself. I know I’ve said this before. Just…don’t
overthink it, okay? Sex is like eating or sleeping…it’s a natural need. You
might not think you know anything about it, but you do. It’s instinctive. And
you’ll only know what it feels like when you do it. So there’s no use worrying
about it too much.”

“Right,” Sam smiled lightly.

“As for the fear of the act itself…” Dean’s voice dropped even though he barely
realized it was happening. “You know I’ll make you feel good.”

Sam felt a warm piercing sensation spread and tingle everywhere inside him at
those words.

“I know…it’s just that…”

Dean waited, but Sam didn’t go on.

“That what?” he insisted softly.

Sam’s chest tightened and he bit down on his bottom lip.

“When the vampire tried to force himself on me…it…it burned… I feel like it
would’ve hurt quite a lot if he had gone further.”

Dean swallowed hard the anger he felt towards a man, no, a monster, who was
thankfully already dead. He opened his mouth but Sam was faster.

“Now, I know it’s not the same. I know you’ll be careful and all.”

“Right,” Dean agreed.

“But part of it is just what it is. There’s no changing that.”

“It’s true.” Dean understood what Sam meant. It didn’t matter how careful he
was, anal sex was still what it was. “But then again, you’re talking about sex
with me,” Dean smiled cockily. “And I’m a sex god, remember? You said so
yourself,” he chuckled.

“Now you’re just bragging.” Sam arched an eyebrow and they both laughed.

“It’s late. You should get some sleep, c’mon.”

Dean pulled the covers and let them both under them. He kicked the ice bag to
the floor and pulled Sam closer into his embrace. Dean turned off the lights
with the switch next to the bed and the boy fell asleep fast in the quiet of
the room.


~ * ~


Sam jumped into the pool and started to swim. He felt the warm water all over
his body, caressing his skin, creating resistance to his movements. He swam
harder and further away, but suddenly there were waves fighting him, and it was
no longer a pool but the ocean itself.

Sam swam with renewed strength, but the waves were hitting him hard, and he was
being thrown under the water where he couldn’t breathe. Panic began to set in
when the water around him was no longer water, because it was red and it was
bleeding. 

‘Oh, God…it’s blood. There’s blood all over…’ Sam tried to swim back to the
surface but the blood was thick and it pulled him down. ‘I’m drowning…I’m gonna
suffocate on all this blood, someone else’s blood…’

Sam moaned and twisted. ‘No…no…’ He had to swim, he had to…

“No… NO!”

Dean stirred and opened his eyes.

“Hm…no…”

He blinked a couple of times and realized Sam was squirming in bed next to him.

“Hey…” he poked the boy softly. “Wake up…are you having a nightmare?”

When he finally reached the surface, Sam realized he was in his own bed, and
there was a severed head looking at him, and the blood was flooding the
bedroom, soaking the sheets.

“NO!!” he screamed.

“Sam, wake up. Wake up!” Dean shook him harder this time.

Sam sat up in bed, his heart racing out of control and his breathing coming in
short gasps.

“There’s blood, blood all over…” Sam looked at the bed. “There’s blood, oh
God…”

“Relax…it’s okay. It was just a dream. There’s no blood.”

“Turn on the lights, Dean! There’s blood, I was swimming and there was all this
blood….”

Dean looked for the light switch and flicked it open. It took Sam a moment to
realize the blood was only real in his dream.

“See? No blood. It’s alright,” Dean said.

“It was a nightmare…it felt so real, though.”

“They usually do.” Dean looked at the way Sam seemed spooked and awkward. “Hey,
you just saw your father cut a man’s head off on top of you. If that didn’t
give you nightmares it’d be weird.”

“You asked me if I was afraid of my dad,” Sam said. He kept thinking of the
look on Azazel’s face as he held a blood tainted sword and stared at the dead
man on Sam’s bed. That was the look of a killer defending its prey from another
predator. Thinking about it now made a chill run up and down Sam’s spine. “I
love him, and I hate him. He killed the man in my room, and he probably killed
the woman who arrived with him. I don’t think that was the first time he did
that.”

Dean didn’t really know what to say. It was the middle of the night and his
thought process couldn’t catch up with Sam’s quick train of thought.

“I am, Dean. I am afraid.”

“Sammy…you don’t have to be.”

“I’d be a fool not to be. Everyone fears him.”

“My dad doesn’t.”

“He should.”

“Neither do I. I’m not afraid of Azazel.”

Sam fell silent, snuggled closer and kissed Dean’s lips. Eventually, Dean
reached for the switch and turned off the lights. They stayed like that for a
while, and Dean was already drifting back into sleep.

“Then you’re a fool, Dean. You both are.” Sam whispered softly before he fell
back into sleep.

***** Chapter 52 *****
 



Chapter 52



Sam felt the hardness against his lower back, and once he felt it, he couldn’t
go back to sleep. His eyes darted open and he stirred, realizing there were
arms wrapped around him. Quickly, everything came rushing back and Sam
remembered he was sleeping with Dean and why. The moment he realized it,
though, he also felt the stab of pain on his lip and eye.

“Dean?” he asked softly and moved. Sam pushed slightly back against the
hardness he felt and Dean groaned. The boy chuckled and his cheeks felt warm.
“I can tell it’s a good morning for you.”

Dean mumbled something in his half-sleep state and blinked a few times. Sam
turned around and looked at him, and he could see the moment realization sunk
in for Dean, too.

“Hey, morning…” Dean squinted with worry the moment he saw Sam’s black eye and
the healing wound on the boy’s lip. Now, as the daylight spilled over the
place, Sam’s injuries looked more painful and Dean’s heart ached at the sight.

“I suppose I don’t look so pretty,” the boy smiled sadly.

“You look beautiful, my sweet angel…” Dean smiled lazily yet charmingly. “But
there’s still some of last night on your face.”

“I can feel it,” Sam acknowledged. “It still hurts. I guess my morning didn’t
start as well as yours did,” he nodded towards the tent in Dean’s midsection.

The older man looked down at his thighs and pulled the sheets off his body.
Indeed, there was an evident tent under Dean’s boxers and the older guy smiled
leeringly.

“Can’t help it. I’m that kind of person,” he shrugged. “Specially when your
warm body was so close to mine.”

“I could do something about it…” Sam’s heart thudded a little faster, but
arousal wasn’t exactly compatible with his mood right now. He was still in pain
and everything still felt a bit weird and scary. However, the thought of
pleasing Dean was always a good one, and Sam was more than willing to watch
Dean have pleasure.

“It’s okay.” Dean covered and stopped Sam’s hand when the boy moved it towards
his hard-on. “We’ll have time for that later if we want to. How did you sleep?”

“Okay, I guess.”

“You had a nightmare, remember?”

“Oh.” The image of blood all over him filled Sam’s mind quickly and he
remembered. “Yeah, I do.”

“Are you okay about the stuff you told me? Do you wanna talk about it?”

“Not really. I’m fine. I guess the blood thing really weirded me out. I’m gonna
need some time to get that scene off of my head.”

“I think so,” Dean agreed.

“But I’m okay now. I’m glad I’m here.”

“I’m glad, too. But what are you going to do? Will your father come looking for
you at the church? I don’t want you to go back home now.” Dean didn’t want Sam
to go back home ever, but he didn’t voice it.

“I don’t know. I think I need to go back to the church. Besides, Crowley only
got a few of my things. I’m gonna need more clothes and some other stuff if I’m
going to be with Bobby for longer. And by Bobby I mean you, of course,” Sam
smiled.

“Do you think your father will let you stay? At Bobby’s, I mean. He’d go crazy
if he knew you were here.”

“I don’t think he has a choice as of now,” Sam’s forehead wrinkled and Dean
definitely liked the attitude he saw there. “I’m not going home. I can’t look
at him after what he’s done. I just have to make sure he sees me at the church.
I don’t think he’ll try to force me to go back, not now anyway. He knows I’m
angry. I won’t go; I don’t care what he does.”

“Good.” Dean nodded. “You know I’m here for whatever you need, right?”

“Yeah, I know. Thank you.”

Sam went closer and they kissed, and Dean’s arms wrapped all over him in a
heartbeat. The two boys stayed like that, and even though Sam could still feel
Dean’s hardness pressing against his thigh, the tenderness of the moment
overcame the desire.

A couple of hours later, Dean drove Sam back to the church and they met Bobby
in the classroom downstairs and talked. Sam knew he couldn’t take chances with
staying all the time with Dean at the beach house. He knew that sooner or later
his father was bound to stop by the church and look for him. Meanwhile, he
asked Crowley to go back and pick up more of his stuff. If his father asked
Crowley about Sam, the prince told his warden to simply say he was fine at
Bobby’s and wasn’t coming back home yet.

However, when Crowley returned to the church with more clothes and some objects
of personal hygiene, he wasn’t alone.

When the bell rang and Bobby left the classroom and went upstairs to answer it,
he saw the boy’s father standing at the church door with Crowley by his side.

“Hi, Father Bobby,” Azazel greeted him.

“Hi.” Bobby’s heart raced. He thought of Sam and John’s kid together in the
classroom and a feeling of dread ran over him. He knew Azazel had no reason to
be suspicious of anything, and in all those years the yellowed-eyed man had
never actually stepped foot into the church, even though he had been there a
few times to speak to Bobby. Come to think of it, one might say it was actually
very strange. Perhaps John would have something to say regarding the evil
nature of the town’s doctor.

“Excuse me,” Crowley walked quickly past the door and past Bobby, towards the
end of the church and the stairs that led down to the classroom. Bobby was
instantly relieved. Sam’s bodyguard would make sure to let Dean know to stay
put and don’t show up no matter what.

“So Crowley tells me my son is here.”

“Yes, Sam’s resting.”

“How is he?”

Whatever had happened at Azazel’s house the previous night, the man seemed
pretty shaken up by it.

“He looks like someone has roughed him up,” Bobby admitted, and studied Azazel
for his reaction. Usually, Bobby was very careful when choosing his words near
that man, but he sensed there was some weakness in Azazel as he asked about his
son now.

“I feel so bad about it.” Azazel shook his head, then as if he something
occurred to him, “did he tell you what happened?”

Bobby could sense the man’s tension as he asked that. He hesitated for a moment
longer and watched as that tension grew.

“Not really.” Bobby finally answered. “He didn’t say anything, and I didn’t
make him.”

“Thank you for your discretion.” Azazel nodded lightly. “There was a breaking
and entering in our house last night. I’m afraid Sam is still upset that I
couldn’t prevent it from happening what with all the security we have…but
sometimes things just get out of our control, right?”

“Do they?”

There was a weird moment between them, and Azazel narrowed his eyes a little,
but the moment was quickly gone because Azazel saw something past Bobby’s
shoulder that captured his attention.

“Samuel?” Azazel called out.

The boy had shown up at the aisle. Sam knew it would be good for his father to
see him there. Whether he would admit it or not, Azazel trusted the priest to
take care of him, and right now Sam wanted his father to back off and leave him
alone. He knew it’d be easier if Azazel knew he was under the priest’s care.

The boy approached his father but didn’t say anything. When he was just a few
steps away, Azazel flinched at the bruise on the boy’s face and the cut on his
lip. They looked painful, and Azazel felt a stab of guilt. He had almost lost
it all the previous night. He had bragged so much about the boy, he had
flaunted Sam for his friends to see and envy, and he had come this close to
losing the most precious gift he had ever had.

“I’m sorry, baby.” Azazel tried, but Sam’s eyes didn’t flicker. The vampire
could tell the boy was angry. He could feel the resentment building up and
emanating off Sam’s body in thick waves that hit him over and over again. “You
can come home. It’s safe now.”

Sam shook his head vehemently and the sight of blood filled his mind. The
shaking went down to his hands and his breathing quickened. The boy swallowed
hard and took a step back. It wasn’t just that he wanted to stay with Bobby
because then he could stay with Dean. Sam truly didn’t want to go home now. The
thought of sleeping on his bed again, where the head of a vampire had fallen on
his lap and flooded the sheets with blood a few seconds after the same vampire
nearly violated him…that was too much, and he shuddered just to think about it.

“No,” Sam whispered. “I’m fine here.”

Azazel could smell the anger but he could also smell the fear. ‘Give him time’,
he told himself. Samuel was a good boy, and he had gone through something
traumatic. Dragging him back home into the bedroom where he almost got raped
probably wasn’t the right course of action if he intended on having the boy’s
trust again. Azazel knew he had failed to keep the boy safe, and he deserved
some of Sam’s attitude now. He thought it would be better to give the boy time
until things cooled off more. He just needed to see him with his own eyes and
make sure he was okay.

The urge to pull the boy towards himself and sink his teeth into one of the
throbbing vessels in his neck was tempting as hell. After the stress Azazel had
been through, he could really do with some powerful and delicious juice to get
him back on track, but that would have to wait. Sam was too important to mess
everything up now. Give him time, let him be an angry teenage boy. He had
earned that after the previous night.

“Alright. I’m sure Bobby will look after you for a couple of days.” Azazel
looked at the priest. “I hope you’re not bothering him, though.”

“He isn’t. I’m happy to welcome him for as long as he wants to stay.”

“It won’t be long,” Azazel said quickly. “But thank you very much.” The vampire
looked at the boy once again but Sam was looking at the floor, his eyes
unreadable. “Crowley has brought some of your stuff. I need to get going. Take
care, Samuel.”

Azazel nodded quickly at Bobby and turned around. As he walked back to his car,
Bobby closed the door and released the breath he hadn’t even realized he was
holding.

Outside, before Azazel got into his car, he looked around and frowned. There
was a black Impala parked nearby, and he knew who that car belonged to. A snarl
twisted his face before he got into his car and shut the door.

That car meant the mechanic’s other son was around, and Dean was the last
person on earth Azazel wanted his precious Samuel talking to. The boy’s brother
represented everything Azazel had tried so hard to protect Samuel from, and the
vampire told himself that as long as Sam was in the church with father Bobby he
would be safe from the dangers of the city.

After all, the church was the least likely place one could expect to find Dean
Winchester.

Azazel chuckled at the thought, started the car and relaxed.

Back in the classroom, Bobby watched the two young men sitting close to each
other. Sam held ice to his eye as Dean watched him quietly.

There was a lot Bobby wanted to say and ask, but right now didn’t seem like the
right moment to do it. Sam was still injured from whatever the hell had truly
gone down in Azazel’s mansion, and asking them about their love life didn’t
seem fit. Besides, even though Bobby knew he had to say something, he wasn’t
looking forward to that conversation. He didn’t know what he was going to say
for fuck’s sake.

“So here’s what we’re going to do,” Bobby said. “Sam can stay with you, but
he’ll come to the church everyday to check in, just in case Azazel drops by
again. And if anything happens I’ll send Crowley to your place to get him
back.”

Dean nodded. “Thank you, Bobby.”

“Are you going to tell me what happened last night?” The older man turned
towards Sam and questioned.

The youngest looked at the priest and then lowered his eyes. When Sam didn’t
say anything, Bobby sighed and nodded with resignation. “Fine. Did he talk to
you, at least?” he asked Dean.

Dean looked at Sam briefly before nodding. “He did.”

“Okay, then. Take good care of him. I have some stuff I got to do.”

“Thank you for what you’re doing, Bobby,” Sam said.

Bobby looked at the kid and that black eye and the sadness in Sam’s eyes got to
his heart. “You’re welcome, kid. Don’t forget the stuff Crowley picked up for
you.”


~ * ~


The two of them spent the day at the beach. At Sam’s request, they chose quiet
places and avoided Dean’s friends. Sam didn’t want to be seen looking like
that; he didn’t want to answer more questions. For most of the time they were
quiet, sharing each other’s company until the sun began to set.

When they went back to the shed, Dean called his boss and asked for a few days
off. He didn’t know how long Sam was going to be with him, but he wanted to be
there for Sam for as long as he needed.

Inside the shed, the boy looked around while Dean made them dinner.

The older man watched when Sam stopped by a picture frame and stared. From the
kitchen counter, Dean looked at the boy curiously for a few minutes.

“That’s your mom, right?”

“Yeah,” Dean agreed.

“She looks beautiful. Have I told you this before? She must’ve been very kind.”

“She was…” Dean frowned. It had been so long, sometimes it felt like his
memories of his mother were fading away. His heart tightened at that thought.
“She was very sweet.”

“I wish I knew what my mom looked like. My dad never showed me a picture. I
wonder if she was beautiful like your mom.”

“She must’ve been very beautiful to give birth to you,” Dean said. And very
stupid to get involved with someone like Azazel, Dean thought to himself.

“Sometimes I think it’s my fault she died.”

“You can’t mean that.”

“It’s true…perhaps if I hadn’t been born she would still be alive.”

“Don’t say that. You can’t know for sure. No child is ever to blame for being
born. Bad things happen sometimes.” Dean’s eyes seemed lost somewhere far away
when Sam looked at him.

The younger boy walked towards the counter and studied Dean curiously. The
older man seemed to be avoiding eye contact, and Sam could tell Dean was hurt.

“What is it?” he asked.

Dean shrugged. “It’s nothing.”

“You always make me talk when I do that, so what is it now? I want to know,”
Sam said softly and smiled with encouragement.

Dean sighed.

“My mom was pregnant when she died. I was going to have a little brother. She
died giving birth to him.”

Sam widened his eyes. “I had no idea…I’m so sorry, Dean…”

“That’s alright. Dad and I, we don’t talk about it. It’s way in the past and
we’d both rather forget it ever happened. It hurts too much.”

“I can imagine…” Sam went closer and put his hand on top of Dean’s.

“So don’t apologize for being here. You know, I’m sure my mom would’ve been
happy if the baby had got to live, even if she couldn’t.”

Sam watched as Dean stirred the mac and cheese in silence. Then, the boy looked
up again as if a thought crossed his mind.

“We’re not that different, you see.”

Dean looked up at him.

“I mean, we are…” Sam added. “But we have this in common. So we’re not that
different.”

“We aren’t,” Dean agreed. “Are you hungry?”

“Starving.”

“So am I. C’mon, let’s eat.”

“See? Not that different.”

Dean chuckled at that.

“I’m coming,” John said from the garage when someone rang the bell. He was
sweaty and covered in dirt, but he didn’t think any potential client would
mind, considering that they expected him to look like that when he fixed cars.

John walked into his house and washed his face and hands quickly before heading
towards the door.

“Hi, how—” ‘can I help you’ is what John was going to ask, but he stopped when
he saw the priest standing at his door.

“I believe you,” Bobby said.

For a few incredibly long seconds, neither man said anything. John frowned and
stared as Bobby waited for his former friend to process what he had just said.

There were a number of implications to Bobby’s statement. What did he believe,
exactly? After so many conversations and so much arguing about a lot of
theories, the priest would have to narrow it down for him.

“What do you believe, Bobby?” John sighed. He sounded weary.

“I believe the boys are brothers. I believe Sam is your son.”

For another moment John stood exactly where he was, as if he was choosing how
to take the news.

“Come in,” he offered eventually. “Drink?”

“No,” Bobby accepted the offer and walked in, closing the door behind him.
“I’ll be quick because I have to go back to the church.”

“Alright then,” John raised his arms and let them fall loosely to his sides.
“What changed your mind?”

“I assume you know the boys are close,” although just how close was something
Bobby wasn’t prepared to discuss with John.

“I know they’re friends. The boy’s been here before.”

“The boy is Samuel, and he and Dean are…” Bobby held back and shook his head.
“Well, they like each other a lot. I see them together; I see the connection.
And maybe you’ve gotten into my head or something, but I’m beginning to see the
resemblance, too.”

“Well…so what? You believe what I’ve told you. Great. Why did you bother to
come here and let me know?”

“Because,” Bobby walked closer and stood face to face with John. “it’s their
right to know, John. They’re brothers, and they deserve to know.” Bobby wasn’t
sure that was what they wanted to hear right now, in fact, it probably was very
far from it if they were romantically involved, but regardless of the nature of
their relationship, they had a right to know.

“We’ve been over this before, Bobby.”

“I know. And you said you can’t change what is done, that you can’t destroy the
boy’s life even though you think he lives with the devil himself.”

John was quiet at that.

“But there’s Dean, too, and he needs to know. Dean thinks his little brother
died, and Sam believes the only family he has in this world is the yellow-eyed
monster you despise. So don’t you think they deserve to know they have each
other?”

“You’ve said it yourself: they’re close, they like each other. What difference
would it make if they knew the truth?”

Bobby took a deep breath. He was pretty sure Dean and Sam were in love. He
didn’t know how advanced their relationship was but he had an idea, given
Dean’s previous records. However, Bobby had never actually seen proof of said
relationship, much to his relief, actually. He didn’t know how the boys would
react if they realized they were blood related. It would probably crush them,
but it was their right to know. They were already brothers, knowing it or not
wouldn’t really change things, it would just make them aware to understand
their situation and choose what they wanted to do. From Bobby’s perspective,
even though there would be all the reason in this world to frown upon that
relationship, especially having a religious background, he didn’t want to judge
the couple. It had been hard enough to get the church to understand and accept
same sex love, but incest was still very taboo. However, the way Bobby saw it,
if the two boys decided to be together despite their blood situation, they
wouldn’t be hurting anyone, and it wasn’t like they had to worry about genetics
and offspring, but still that would be a lot to deal with, and it would change
their lives forever.

“The difference is that they deserve to know, John. You’ve tried really hard to
make me believe Sam is in danger living with Azazel, well, now there’s someone
who could keep him safe, someone who cares enough about Sam to protect him, and
someone Sam opens up to. So I’m telling you, Dean has a right to know it’s his
brother he’s looking after.”

And then, Bobby thought, Dean would decide what to do with that information. If
someone should tell Sam about his past, Bobby realized no one would be better
than Dean. He knew it was a lot to put on the older boy’s shoulders, but if
John couldn’t go up against Azazel to tell Sam, then at least Dean should be
allowed to know the truth to decide how to use that information.

“I don’t think so…” John shook his head vehemently.

“Sam showed up bruised at my doorstep.”

That got John’s attention immediately. He turned around and looked at Bobby
with renewed interest.

“He had a black eye and a split lip. Now, before you ask me, no, I don’t think
Azazel himself punched him. But I do think he has something to do with it,
considering Sam’s left home and is living with me right now.” Actually, he was
living with Dean, but John didn’t need to know that. ‘Hey, I think your sons
are screwing, so you’d better tell them they’re related’ was definitely not how
Bobby wanted things to go. He had no idea how John would react to that.

“Is he…alright? Does he need anything…? Maybe I should…”

“He’s fine,” Bobby interrupted him. “Dean is there for him. Sam trusts him. So
maybe you should too, you know. You raised a good boy, and Dean will know what
to do if you tell him. You owe it to him.”

“Why didn’t you tell him if you say you believe me now…”

Bobby shook his head. “They’re not my kids, John. I’ve got my own pains and my
own demons, but this is your burden. It’s not my place to say that and you know
it.”

“So once again you come into my house to tell me what to do, is that it?” John
started to grow defensive and Bobby knew it was time to go.

“Yes. That’s what friends have to do sometimes. Goodbye, John. I have to
leave.”

That was not what John was expecting. He imagined a heated argument would now
begin and end with them yelling at each other and probably one or two shattered
glasses on the floor. Instead, Bobby turned around, opened the door and left
quietly, leaving John standing alone in the middle of the living room to think
about everything.

You owe it to him.

Bobby had barely left but his words were already echoing.

“I can’t…” John shook his head and his chest felt tight with anguish and doubt.
“After all this time I can’t….can I?”
