Ileus: The Dark Prince

Ileus pursed his lips and then got up from there with a loud harrumph. "I got food for you because I could hear both your stomach grumbling despite that raging lust in both of you." 

"And what do you mean by that? My lust doesn't make sounds." said Kaizan as he got up from Olivia and then perched himself right in between. Olivia immediately got out of the bed and rushed to the bathroom after grabbing one of Kaizan's tunics. 

Ileus scoffed and then waved his hand around the room. Tendrils of magic flew out of those long fingers and spread in the room. Every piece of furniture that was strewn was placed back in the same space as before. Every wood that was splintered, gleamed new just like before. Every fabric that was torn, looked as good as ever. "Not only did I hear you bringing the room down, I also heard you both moaning and groaning and when I entered, you were even groping." 

"Fuck you, man!" Kaizan grumbled. "Get lost!" 

"Not until I have had my food," said Ileus, as he kicked his boots out and tossed them stray in the neatly arranged room. The food tray consisted of braised lamb, garlic bread and hash browns. Peppered and salted vegetable stir fry was placed in a bowl separately with thick curd. Ileus took his fork and dug into the hash browns as Kaizan watched him with simmering frustration.

"You gnat!" he snapped. "Doltish lout!" But Ileus was paying no attention. He shifted a little from his place, leaned over the edge and was about to lift the mattress when Kaizan shouted at him, "What the hell are you doing?" 

Olivia entered the room right then wearing Kaizan's tunic that had swallowed her completely. Her arms were gobbled in the long sleeves and the tunic was just till her knees. The shoulders were dropping and she had managed to tie a knot in order to not let the tunic plunge below her breasts. As soon as she was there, she saw that Ileus was leaning towards the edge of the mattress. She tilted her head while watching what he was doing and heard Kaizan stopping him. 

"Stop it Alyyyy!" Kaizan lunged over his friend and tried to drag him back but Ileus, the bad and dark and dirty wizard, flicked his hand when Kaizan dragged him back and the mattress lifted on its own, revealing a bed of… magazines. "Ileussssss!" Kaizan hissed. 

At first Olivia didn't understand what was so special about the books. Then she took a step closer and when her gaze landed on the images, she halted, her breath lodged in her throat, her skin flushed like a ripe pomegranate and her eyes as wide as saucers on the bed. The images were that of nude men and women in various positions. The first one that she saw had a woman on her knees sucking a man's cock as he gripped her hair and guided her in and out. 

Kaizan was mortified. He left Ileus and jumped out of the bed to put the mattress down. In the process his towel came free. He grabbed the towel to hide his raging cock and again rushed to put the mattress down, but the bloody mattress—it wouldn't listen to him. 

As for Ileus, he brushed his hands with a smirk. He said, "Welcome to Kaizan's library, Olivia," and then focused on eating more. 

Kaizan was standing nude with his towel on his cock, in between the mattress and Olivia. Olivia peered past him and he bent to that side to block her vision. She peered to the other side and he bent to that side. "This is not— this is not for you!" he said. He was flushed to the chest. He was surely going to skin Ileus and eat him raw. His wife was innocent and he was tainting her. He was supposed to taint his wife. 

Seeing that the two were very awkward, Ileus snapped his fingers again and the mattress slipped back in its place. "Ah! I can't see fresh love dancing like that," he said with a sigh and a yawn. "Why don't you both join me in having dinner? I wish Ana was here. Why did she choose this time to go to meet her parents? Even the kids aren't here. I am all alone. So, I guess that you have to take care of me." Saying that he tossed a mouthful of meat in his mouth. 

As soon as the mattress slipped back to his position, Olivia's eyes went to Kaizan's towel. He was holding it over his cock. He was listening to Ileus, completely forgetting that he had loosened the hold over it and now it hung like a tent over it. She was stunned as hell. Lowering her gaze, she walked away from there and perched on the far edge of the bed. When Kaizan turned back to address her, she wasn't there. He tried to hold his towel in place only to find what he had done. Exasperated, he tipped his head up and closed his eyes. "By Skadi!" 

Minutes later, Kaizan came in the bedroom dressed in night pajamas and a shirt. He joined Ileus for dinner and pulled a reluctant Olivia to join them. "I am sorry about him," he apologized to her. 

As Ileus narrowed his eyes, Olivia giggled. "It's fine." She was absolutely thralled by the bond the two friends shared between each other. She ate her food while the two talked about various things and the atmosphere eased.

"The oranges are ripe," said Kaizan. "I am planning on taking them to the market tomorrow to sell. Mother would be happy to see that she again got the best price for her harvest this year." 

Ileus shook his head. "Why do you have to go personally, Kaizan? Send your men." He knew that Kaizan would go there personally because he valued his mother's labor a lot. Ookashi was getting old and had not accepted a single argument to make her immortal from Adrianna or Dmitri. She wanted to remain mortal, and Nate wholeheartedly agreed with her saying that it doesn't matter.. He would still follow her even beyond this life.
