What Lies Beneath // Salem & Hunter

[wavexrider]

  Salem buried his face in Hunter’s chest when the man pulled him in tightly. It was obvious his lover was confused and scared. What made the whole entire situation worse was Salem knowing exactly what was wrong with Hunter. “Shh, I’m here,” was all he could whisper. This…was a really tough decision to make.

Keeping his hand in Hunter’s for support, he followed him to the bench to take a seat next to him. Salem curled right up against Hunter and took his hand again. His pale fingers traced the darker man’s slowly as he tried to think of a way to explain to him without telling him about Hermes. 

"I know," he muttered. This was going to kill him and possibly others. Salem couldn’t sit around and lie to Hunter. He turned to look into his green eyes and he planted a gentle kiss on his cheek. "There is something going on that I can’t tell you about and if I do, others will get hurt." Now he sounded like the crazy one. Hunter wouldn’t believe this. It pained him to not tell him everything. "Please understand I’m doing this for the safety of others and of course you, but I just can’t tell you." He bit his lip and looked down, his fingers tightened around Hunter’s. "I love you and I hate not being able to tell you." 

[hermesthehunter]

Holding Salem's hand in his own Hunter didn't know what he expected the man to say. Maybe tell him that it was all in his head and once Hunter got a good night's sleep and got over his fear of Salem's safety it would all be over. What he hadn't expected was for the person he trusted more than anything in the world look at him and say that he couldn't tell Hunter what was going on.

"What are you talking about?" Hunter asked "people will get hurt,is this about Brian?" The last he heard was that the man was locked up in some hospital upstate and the earliest chance he had of even trying to get out was in 10 years. "Did he get in contact with you or something?" it was the only explanation he could come up with and even then it wouldn't explain what was going on with him now.

"Then tell me,please" Hunter begged "if you know what's wrong we can get through this together". Had he somehow hurt Salem when he was in one of these blackouts? If so, the man should want to help Hunter and the fact the he felt too scared sent shivers up the older man's spine.

Turning Salem's face toward him he made the man look him in the eye "Whatever is going on you can tell me baby" Hunter told him "I'm going to keep you safe,I promise"

What Lies Beneath // Salem & Hunter

[wavexrider]

  Salem shifted his books so he could hold his phone and the books without dropping either. He could hear some conversation in the background, Hunter was in public.

Fear struck him that he, rather Hermes, did something and Hunter was in trouble. “Of course. I’ll be right there babe,” whispered Salem. It must not have been extreme or else Hunter would have told him. “See you in a little bit.” He closed his phone and got moving.

The ride to that diner felt longer than it really was. Salem tapped his foot, hummed a random tune under his breath, played with his fingers, everything someone would do when impatient. The doors opened at his stop and the boy flew out, weaving between people and dodging crowds. He hated how crowded it was at this time, there were so many people. 

There it was, the diner. Salem rushed across the street earning honks and obscenities from drivers who almost hit him and he opened the door. He saw Hunter and a weight was lifted off his shoulders to see he was fine and so were others around him. “Hunter, what…what’s wrong?” huffed Salem as he embraced him from behind. 

[hermesthehunter]

Hunter watched people walk past him at a steady pace. A few looking at him as they no doubt wondered why he was standing outside of a diner with an apprehensive look on his face.  He did his best to block them out while trying to stay focused.

He didn't know what was it that caused his blackouts and working on not succumbing to them before Salem got there was his main priority. When he heard a number of cars begin to honk and a slew of expletives start to rise above  the noise he felt Salem hug him from behind and turning around he looked down at his boyfriend. He instantly started to feel better and once Salem reached the curb he pulled the younger man into a tight hug and buried his face in  Salem's neck.

"I don't know what's going on" he muttered "I somehow went to that cafe a few blocks down and I don't know how I got there". He knew he sounded completely insane and it was only one more reason for Salem to turn and run away from him. How much could he really expect the man to take before he had enough.

Taking Salem's hand he guided them over to one of the benches near a large corporate building and sat down. "Something is happening to me Salem and I don't know what" he told the brunette "I thought I could handle it but...I don't think I can"

  Oliver licked his lips hungrily and purred as Hunter’s fingers touched him.

"On my knees, huh?" he hissed. The naked blond stood close enough that Hunter could feel Oliver’s cock hardening against his thigh. Oliver grinned wickedly and ran his tongue across his teeth. He put his hands on Hunter’s shoulders, then slowly slid them down the photographer’s body as he got down on his knees.

"Like this, boss?" Oliver asked, smirking up at Hunter.

[hermesthehunter]

Hunter could feel the desire start in the pit of his stomach and slowly grow as he watched Oliver move.

"Am I going to need to repeat myself" he asked as he rolled the film once more. When he felt the blonde's erection Hunter took in a breath as his own cock started to spring to life. Looking down at the wanton expression in Oliver's eyes Hunter smiled and ran his thumb along the guy's lips.

"Just like that" he said and then cocked his head to the side. "You know,I have to say that you have a very pretty mouth". Moving his thumb from Oliver's lips to his chin he pulled down so that the blonde's mouth grew wider. "It might look even prettier with something in it,don't you think?"

What Lies Beneath // Salem & Hunter

[wavexrider]

  Things began to settle down after Hermes’ return though Salem was wary most of the time. He waited for the green eyes to flash red as a reminder that Hermes was waiting for him to slip up with Hunter. His last couple days home with the man was wonderful, Hunter spoiled him and he loved it, he tried to spoil him at times too by cooking nice meals. 

Monday morning was going to be the next step in the right direction and they’d get used to going about their own ways during the day. Salem snuggled real close to Hunter that night, body against his side and head on his chest to hear the heart beating rhythmically. “I love you,” murmured the boy before he finally dozed off. 

Unfortunately for Salem, his vision of the morning came short. When he woke, Hunter wasn’t himself. Though his eyes were still their mossy green, he was off. He got himself some breakfast while Hunter got dressed in a dream like state. “Hunter, what’s wrong?” he asked him many times but received a shrug every single time.  If Hermes damaged him, Salem would show the God no mercy when he showed. 

It was time for him to go and Hunter kissed his cheek goodbye. When they parted, Salem watched the pupils flashed red but maybe it was just his imagination…

Having a six-thirty class sucked majorly. It meant getting up at five and taking the subway since Hunter wasn’t going to drive. He finally got out at eight and looked at his phone to see he had a missed call from Hunter. Quickly calling him, Salem hoped he wasn’t too late. “Hunter! Hey, sorry I missed you. I was in the lab today and no phones. What’s up? Are you coming to pick me up or am I taking the subway again?”

[hermesthehunter]

Hunter knew something was wrong with him. Nobody comes to in the middle of a coffee shop with no idea how they got there. In all honesty this sensation hadn't been new. The past few days had been filled with Hunter finding himself in various parts of he and Salem's apartment with the faintest idea of how he got there. He didn't worry about it then because it seemed so insignificant. Nothing he couldn't chalk up to distraction and worry as he prepared for Salem's first day back to class.

What began to unnerve him was the look Hunter saw in his lover's eyes after those moments occurred. The younger man looked scared and although he would always tell Hunter it was the man's overactive imagination the photographer knew something was going on. He just wished he knew what it was.

Of course now that this problem had made it's way out of their apartment there was no more ignoring it. He had been leaning against the deli shop on 85th when Salem called and breathing a sigh of relief he answered it quickly. "Do you think you could catch the subway?" he asked "I'm on 85th,by the deli that serves that cornbeef you like so much". He would have loved nothing more than to jump on Salem's invitation to pick him up,but that would require Hunter to get back home and then go to the college. The subway was just faster and the sooner he got to see Salem the better. 

"I.....something's wrong and I need you" Hunter told him,hating himself for sounding so scared and weak. "I'll explain when you get here,just hurry up okay"

I need to start by giving my apologies for my long absence. It has been a hell of an unexpected month and my time to RP was non-existent. Doing my best to wade back into the waters and for all of you that have stuck with me my infinite thanks and love.

Off to do long awaited replies :)

What Lies Beneath // Salem & Hunter

[wavexrider]

  Salem could see the hurt clear in Hunter’s eyes and he felt awful. His heart dropped to his stomach and if only he could take it all back he would. It was a horrible thing to say, so heartless and careless. 

Hunter pulled him on his lap and he buried his face in his lover’s neck to hide the disgust he had for himself. He held him close and kissed the skin by his nose. “I know, I know Hunter and I’m not used to someone who cares about me as much as you.” The boy pulled back to look into his eyes. “I should not have said that, I clearly was not thinking when I said such a thing.” 

His eyes closed when Hunter returned the words of love, he sighed and leaned their foreheads together. “It terrifies me too. But at the end of the day I know that we’re together. You’re here for me and I am here for you, Hunter. I promise.” 

Salem loved Hunter, it was a much deeper and rawer love than he had with Hollis, he truly wanted this to last and he’d do anything to make it last. Hermes, however, was going to be one thing he would have a hard time with. 

As if he was called, Hunter’s eyes flashed the deadly colour of red; Hermes had resurfaced. Salem’s face paled at his warning “I know. My lips are sealed.” He hoped he wouldn’t be seeing Hermes anymore but now that the barrier that had broken and let the God out, Salem wasn’t so sure. Hunter’s familiar green orbs returned, then he relaxed. “Hunter, don’t. It’s okay. I…just don’t worry about it. I love you so much. We can put this behind us.” Salem took Hunter’s face in his hands and kissed him softly. “Let’s stay in for a couple more days and then you can take me to my classes to get started.” 

[hermesthehunter]

Hunter had loved being with Salem over the following few days. Knowing that he could simply reach over and touch him in order to know he was safe. Still,Salem was his own man and Hunter letting his paranoia force the man he loved to be little more than a prisoner of it was not the way that they were going to work. It would make a power imbalance between the two that would slowly erode them and it wouldn't be Brian who killed their relationship,but Hunter himself and he refused to let that happen.

He had planned on waking up early to make breakfast and bring it to Salem in bed. Tell him that he wanted the man to go to class and Hunter would finally get back to work. They had to move on with their lives and this was going to be the first step. Sure Hunter was going to be close to a nervous breakdown until Salem came home safe,but eventually the fear would subside and become nothing but a memory.

That had been the plan,but it hadn't been what happened. Instead Hunter had found himself sitting in a coffee shop at a little past 7 a.m. Fully dressed and holding a cup of tea in his hand. Sitting it down he looked around and shook his head as if trying to wake himself up from a dream. He was still trying to piece together what was going on and why he wasn't opening his eyes to see the sleeping form of Salem with his head resting on Hunter's chest. 

How did he get here? Where was here?

He wondered if this had be an effect of what he had been dealing with ever since Salem's attack. Had the lack of sleep finally started to take it's toll.

Patting his pockets he felt his cellphone and breathed a sigh of relief. Standing up he was about to walk out when a waitress stopped him and told Hunter he had to pay for the three drinks he had. Handing over a twenty he walked out and called Salem. Hoping the guy would answer,but unsure of what Hunter would say to him. He just knew he needed help.

[hermesthehunter]

What Lies Beneath // Salem & Hunter

[wavexrider]

  Salem hated to lie to his lover about what happened…he hated to lie to him no matter the situation but unfortunately he had to. “I know, it was my carelessness. I’m still not one-hundred percent healed and I keep forgetting that.” At least that was partially true, he did often forget and if he moved too quickly then he would feel the pain. Salem followed Hunter to the chair and sat down, angling so himself so his bruised ribs would be facing the room. Hunter was too good to him, he was so stupid for getting angry.

The boy lifted his chin up to look at the darker man. Did he not remember what happened prior to Hermes revealing himself? He kept quiet in the chair for now, maybe he can get away with that. Now Hunter was agreeing to him, that he was a little overprotective so if he knew what happened with Hermes, he might leave him to keep him safe.

The question grabbed Salem’s attention and he saw the shard of glass Hunter held up. “Hunter! Don’t be picking up glass, you might hurt yourself!” Salem got off the chair and hurried to the closet to think of a quick lie. He snagged the broom and brought it back, green eyes slowly meeting Hunter’s. “I…I said you were acting like Brian and you dropped the glass. That’s when I uh, turned quickly  and hurt my ribs.” He took his lover’s hand to squeeze it. “I didn’t mean it, you are nothing like him. I love you and you are not like Brian, not in a million years.” Salem swept up the glass into the dust pan and dumped it in the trash nearby. Then, he tucked himself under Hunter’s arm and hugged him. “I should not have said that.”

[hermesthehunter]

The last thing Hunter wanted was to cause a rift between he and Salem because of his own insecurities. Hearing that his boyfriend thought he was acting like the same man who had tortured him was nothing less than sobering. It had hurt more than he ever could have thought possible,but Hunter knew that the way he had been acting over the past few weeks gave Salem more than enough reason to throw that accusation his way.

Rubbing the guy's back he kissed the side of Salem's head before sitting down at the table and pulled his lover onto his lap. "I don't ever want you thinking I'm like that Salem" he said "I just.....I'm not used to these feelings". Hunter had never really been able to connect to anyone beyond physically for as long as he could remember. As a kid he heard one of the psychiatrist call him chronically disconnected. Something inside of him kept him from ever fully appreciating what another person could bring to his life.

Sure,he could speak the words and say whatever the other person needed to hear in order to get them to shed their clothes,but the moment Hunter was done they became nothing more than an annoying weight on his shoulders. It was his lot in life and for better or worse it he had come to accept it. Until Salem.

He had been able to breakthrough a wall Hunter had come to think of as impenetrable. Work his way into the part of Hunter that made him a priority and now he had no idea how to reign in the emotions that seemed to have been released after a lifetime of being bottled up. "I love you too Salem" Hunter said as he looked the man in the eye "and it terrifies me". Taking the brunette's hand in his own he held on tightly "I don't want you to think I don't trust you to take care of yourself,but I just don't want I would become if I lost you. I just know it wouldn't be pleasant" 

He blinked and in an instant his eyes turned red once more and Hermes smiled as he got to come forth briefly and he smiled. Leaning in he gave Salem a kiss on the cheek "Just remember to watch that tongue of yours" he said "because I'll be seeing you soon". Then another blink of an eye and the green of Hunter's were back once more. Moving his forehead to rest on Salem's shoulders.

"I'm so sorry for everything Salem" Hunter told him "but I'm going to be better,I promise" 

[feralurges-blog]

  "Shy? Me?" 

Oliver grinned wickedly and shifted so the light caught his body just right.

"What makes you think I’m shy?" he asked, watching Hunter approach. The blond stepped closer, pausing just short of the other man.

"Why don’t you take ‘em off for me?"

[hermesthehunter]

"I don't know what I was thinking" Hunter laughed softly as he continued to take in the blonde's body.

The man seemed to know what worked best for him and normally while the photographer would be more than happy to sit back and let his subject do what mad them look good he felt the need to take a more proactive approach "Confidence can be a pretty big cover for meekness" Hunter told him "but clearly not in this case"

Putting the camera down Hunter looks him over once more before grabbing the hem of Oliver's shorts and pulls him close. Near enough so that Hunter could feel the heat of the other man's body. "Remember that I run this show" he said with a smirk,but still pulled the shorts down and let the back of his fingers brush against Oliver's crotch. "Now as the boss I think I would like to take some photos of you on your knees looking up at me"

[hermesthehunter]

"I want rough sex, now."

"I had a feeling I would get to see you on all fours again one way or another"

[hermesthehunter]

Hunter was trying his best to hold onto the very small amount of self control and patience he had left. Watching Ian move back onto his fingers and getting the perfect view of his long dark fingers move in and out of the man's hole he could feel the tip of his cock leak steadily. Once he was given permission there was nothing else holding him back. Kneeling behind the man Hunter wasted no time in pulling down his pants and boxers,discarding them without hesitation,and settled behind Ian. Grabbing the base of his own dick he rubbed it along the crack of Ian's ass before putting the head at his lover's opening. "Just let me know if it becomes too much" Hunter said before he started to push in. Watching as the thickness of his cock spread Ian's opening and worked to take more and more of himself inside.

[garrisonxtucker-deactivated2014]

  Tucker could see that Hunter just wasn’t going to give up. He thought that his words would’ve been enough to deter him for the few minutes needed, but, he must’ve thought wrong. When Hunter let go of his waist, he thought that he got bored and went looking for something to occupy his time with. He never suspected that the other would resort to sucking on his length to just and get him to break. “You’re dangerously close to the popping grease, Hunter. I don’t think you want to be in that position.” He definitely didn’t remember this from the previous night. If anything, it was the other way around. If the photographer wanted to play this game, Tucker would play right along. All he needed to do was survive for two more minutes and, then, all bets were off.

[hermesthehunter]

Tucker tasted of heat and salt as Hunter massaged the head of the man's cock with his tongue. It was hardly unpleasant and something could find himself growing quite accustomed to if he was lucky enough. At the man's warning the photographer couldn't help but look up and move further back against the stove "I'm a man who likes to take chances for the right rewards" he smiled as he jacked the impressive cock in front of him. His thumb running along the engorged head before leaning forward once more and taking the entirety of it into his mouth until he could feel the tip hit the back of his throat. Wasting no time he sucked it long strokes as his hand spread the man's ass and he let a finger linger precariously at the man's opening. 

[hermesthehunter]

Week has finally calmed down and now replies are soon to be attacked along with a starter or two.

[hermesthehunter]

Okay guys,I have to give my immense apology on the absence,but it has been a hell of a week full of school and double shifts topped off with storms. I shall make amends tomorrow night :) Huge hugs for all you wonderful people who have stuck with me! Now,off to sleep I go.

What Lies Beneath // Salem & Hunter

[wavexrider]

  A curse started all of this, someone stuck Hermes in a body of a human when he was born. Salem didn’t know who he should sympathize with more. The human who had no idea there was a god inside him or the god that had to live his life trapped. “Hermes..”

It was too late, the God was disappearing and Hunter was coming back which Salem was grateful for. Hermes had a lot of anger towards whoever did this to him so he thought maybe it was why he acted so rudely before. Besides, why did Hermes think it was impressive how Salem gave himself to Hunter that night on the beach? It made him wonder if Hermes had something to do with that.

It took several deep breaths to regain his thoughts since they were scattered and jumbled, a mix between of telling Hunter what just happened or lying. If he told Hunter then someone would get hurt and that someone might actually be Hunter. Salem couldn’t take any chances this time around, he would obey the god in fear of someone else getting hurt. “I, uh, I turned to quickly and pulled on the rib,” blubbered Salem. He wrapped his arms around Hunter, returning the kisses, happy he had his love back. “I’m sorry I said that Hunter, please don’t be mad at me. It was wrong. School can wait another day or two, the professors don’t know I’m able to come back yet.” He trained his fingers down Hunter’s cheek and stared into the familiar green eyes.

[hermesthehunter]

Hunter breathed a sigh of relief when Salem told him that the pain on his face was due to pulling one of his ribs. "You have to be careful baby" he told the younger man "do you see why I get so worried about you?" Looking down at his boyfriend Hunter smiled and rubbed the man's back gently "Come sit down and I'll get you a glass of water and we can redo your bandages" he said while leading Salem over to the chair and easing him down,doing his best not to make the pain he was already in that much worse.

"Sorry you said what?" Hunter asked as he walked over towards the sink to grab a class that sat just above it. He tried to think about the past few minutes and looking back at Salem he opened the small door "The thing about being overprotective?" he asked "I'm not upset about that Salem,you probably have a point". The past few months had left Hunter on edge more often than not and his own fear had made him cling to Salem tighter than he should have.

"I don't want you thinking I don't trust you and if going back to class by yourself is the way to show that I can try my best to be okay with it". Grabbing a glass he sat it on the counter top and reached in the fridge for a bottle of water "Just give me those two days to prepare myself okay" he smiled softly and as he undid the cap and began to pour his eyes traveled over and he saw the shards of broken glass that littered the bottom.

"Salem.....what is this?" he asked alarmed and pulled up a particularly large piece of glass

[hermesthehunter]

"I want rough sex, now."

"I had a feeling I would get to see you on all fours again one way or another"

[hermesthehunter]

Hunter loved hearing his name coming from Ian's mouth in such a wanton way. As if each syllable was laced with the lust the man was feeling and as he pushed his finger in he moved it in a small circle. Pushing the skin down so he could start to stretch it. He knew with the intoxicating body in front of him and his own need increasing by the second it would only be a matter of time before he had to sink himself into Ian. Enjoy all tight heat the man had "You're doing so good" Hunter told him as he started to to move his finger in and out. Repeating the motion over and over he dared to add a second to gauge the man's reactions. He kept the temp consistent and as his own cock continued to grow in anticipation he spread Ian's cheeks wider to get a better view.

[hermesthehunter]

What Lies Beneath // Salem & Hunter

[wavexrider]

  There was a part of him that told him to leave, to go back to Calym and leave Hunter, or Hermes, because who knew what else could happen. Yet deep down inside him, he knew for sure he couldn’t leave, not when his love for Hunter was so strong.

"You were in Hunter all along? The entire time, from the moment I met him to right now." Salem only knew of demons and vampires, simple creatures of the night but Greek Gods? There was so much to learn…it was his fault for bringing Hermes out, it was him who upset Hunter to this point. "If you’re a god, why are you such a dick?"

A fist grabbed his shirt, yanked him closer to Hermes’ face while the god threatened Salem. Next thing he knew, he was flying across the room, his back hit the all with brute force that could have shattered his rib but he was lucky. He slumped to the floor dazed, confused, and upset. Salem watched as Hermes left, red eyes returning to their normal greens. He pushed himself up, but couldn’t get up himself.

Hunter was there by his side in a flash, he flinched when he got closer but once he saw it wasn’t Hermes, he grabbed his hand and pulled himself up. Surprisingly the water work didn’t start as Salem threw himself at Hunter. He buried his face in his chest, apology after apology came from the boy’s mouth. “I’m sorry, I am so sorry Hunter! I didn’t mean it at all!” Hermes didn’t want Hunter to know about him, it killed him to not say anything but who would believe him? Hunter sure wouldn’t. If Hunter’s anger triggered Hermes return, he would have to not anger his boyfriend. “You can do whatever you want, drive me anywhere. I’m so sorry.”

[hermesthehunter]

"It's been my curse" Hermes told Salem "since the day this human was born I was trapped" He still didn't know why whatever entity did this found him in need of punishment,but now that he was free Hermes was going to find out and pay them back in spades. "Do you know what it's been like to take a backseat and watch the mundane existence of an average human life?" he asked and then smirked "of course,it wasn't all for naught". Leaning in he kissed Salem's forehead "The way you willingly gave yourself up so easily to him on that beach was....impressive". Laughing lightly at Salem's question he leaned back and looked Salem in the eye "Because I can be,that's why"

Knowing that he was losing control Hermes cursed and knew immediately that if Hunter was told about him he would start to find ways to fight him off. In the end it would be a pointless endeavour since Hermes was only going to start and increase his strength now that he had finally broken through. Still,it was best to cover all his basis and making sure Salem kept his mouth shut was an important part of that.

Salem leapt up in his arms and it made Hunter fearful "What's going on?" he asked urgently while holding the man tightly. It brought him right back to that night of Salem's attack and the terror he had seen in Salem's eyes as he entered Brian's apartment. Holding Salem's face in his hands he gave the man a peck on the lips "Salem,baby....what happened?"
