Deleted scene from DARK LOVER. **WARNING: mild plot spoilers ahead.
This scene was altered from this, its original form, during DARK LOVER's revision process. The concern was that it went just a little too far. If you're so inclined, let me know if आप think it did.
This takes place about three quarters of the way through the novel...
***
Mr. X watched Billy Riddle walk into the office. Riddle was dressed in a dark blue polo कमीज, शर्ट and a pair of हाकी, खाकी shorts, looking tanned, healthy, strong.
Strapping, to use an old fashioned word from Mr. X’s youth.
“Sensei.” Billy bowed his head.
“How are आप doing, son?”
“I’ve thought it over.”
Mr. X waited for the answer, surprised द्वारा how much he cared about what it was going to be.
“I want to work for you.”
Mr. X smiled. “That’s good, son. That’s real good.”
“So what do I have to do? Are there papers I have to fill out for the Academy?”
“It’s a bit और involved than that. And the Academy isn’t really going to be your employer.”
“But I thought आप said-”
“Billy, there are a few और things you’re going to have to understand. And there’s the little detail of an initiation.”
“You mean hazing? Because that’s no problem. I’ve been through a couple already. For football.”
“It’s a little और hard core than that, I’m afraid. But don’t worry, I got through it and I know you’ll do fine. I’ll tell आप what आप have to bring with आप and I’ll be द्वारा your side. The whole time.”
After all, watching the Omega go to work was not something to be missed.
“Sensei, I, ah...” Riddle cleared his throat. “I just want आप to know, I’m not going to let आप down.”
Mr. X smiled slowly, thinking this was the very best part of his job.
He stood up and approached Billy. Putting a hand on Riddle’s shoulder, he squeezed the बोन्स and stared into the wide, blue eyes that met his.
Billy slipped nicely into a trance.
Mr. X leaned आगे and carefully removed Riddle’s hoop earring. Then he took the soft lobe between his thumb and forefinger, massaging it.
His voice was low and quiet.
“I want आप to call and tell your father that आप are moving out effective immediately. Tell him that you’ve found a job and that आप are going into an intensive training program.”
Mr. X took off Riddle’s stainless steel Rolex and then pulled the कॉलर of the guy’s कमीज, शर्ट open. He reached inside, following the platinum chain Billy wore around to the back. He released the necklace, sliding the लिंक्स free until he captured them in his palm. The metal was warm from laying against skin.
“When आप speak with your father, आप will remain calm no matter what he says to you. आप will reassure him that your future is a promising one and that आप have been chosen out of many applicants for a very important role. आप will tell him that he may always reach आप on your cell phone, but that it will be impossible for him to see आप as आप will be traveling.”
Mr. X ran his hand over Billy’s chest, feeling the pads of muscle, the warmth of life, the hum of youth. Such power in this body, he thought. Such marvelous force. Though it would fade soon enough, now the strength was peaking.
He paused to वृत्त one of the nipples he encountered.
Billy jerked in response and Mr. X looked down, repeating the caress, watching the front of Riddle’s shorts grow tight. Mr. X measured the reaction for a moment and then took his hand further south, until he got to the hardening flesh. He moved his hand over Billy’s length, envying the response. Missing the feel of that heat.
“You will not mention the Academy. आप will not reveal my identity. And आप will not tell him that आप are coming to live with me.”
Moving around so he stood behind Billy, he slipped his hand into Riddle’s shorts. Billy’s breath broke as his flesh was gripped and Mr. X remembered what that felt like, that first magical touch of a new lover. The anticipation. The thick power concentrated between the legs, the urge to come warring with the delicious pain of delay.
God, he missed being with women. Missed the feel of softness under him, all that pleasure, that release.
Mr. X spoke right into Billy’s ear. “You will tell your father that आप are sorry for all the evil things आप did. आप will tell him that आप प्यार him. And then I will pick आप up and take आप away.”
He eased Billy back, so that he was supporting Riddle’s weight on his chest. He held on to Billy, stroking him, cradling him, until Riddle’s last orgasm came in for a landing. Mr. X felt the rushing pulses as his own, remembering what it had been like to be in a lover’s embrace, remembering that wonderful closeness, yearning for it in a way he hadn’t when he’d been a man.
As Billy breathed heavily, sagging in peaceful surrender, Mr. X remembered his own induction ceremony. And for a brief, passing instant, he wished that he’d thought और carefully about the offer he’d accepted decades ago.
He’d be an old man now. An old man with grandchildren, maybe, if he’d ever found a woman he could have stood to be around for any length of time. And he would have had an average life, maybe worked at one of the paper mills या at a gas station. He would have been one of a hundred million other anonymous men who were bitched at द्वारा their wives and who drank with their buddies and who passed their precious days in a haze of ambient dissatisfaction because they were nothing special.
But he would have been alive.
As he felt Riddle soften in his palm, he wondered whether he had in fact come out on the money side of the exchange. Because he was no longer his own man. He was a servant of the Omega’s whims. The चोटी, शीर्ष servant, as it were, but a servant none the less.
And he would never be mourned.
Either because he never stopped breathing. या because no one would miss him after he took his last lungful.
Mr. X frowned.
Not that any of that mattered, however. Because there was no going back. Which was something Riddle was going to learn first hand tonight.
Mr. X released Riddle’s mind and body.
“So are we clear?” he कहा softly.
Billy nodded, dazed. He looked down at himself as if wondering what had happened.
“Good, now give me your cell phone.” After Billy had handed the thing over, Mr. X smiled.
“What do आप say to me, son?”
“Yes, sensei.”
“No. Not this time, Billy. This time आप say thank you.”
