Chapter 9

Forgetting the festival, Seth quickly said a thanking prayer to Set before rushing off towards his chambers. How could he have been so blind? It was right in front of him and he couldn’t see it.


Set had rewarded him. He had given him Jono. All the signs were there. Why couldn’t he see them?


Set sent him dreams of the boy constantly. Then, as if by luck, he found the exact same boy from his dreams. There were other clues as well. The boy miraculously spoke Egyptian even though he didn’t look like he was from Egypt. Furthermore, Jono didn’t remember anything from his past. Also, Jono seemed to be the only being amongst the living or the dead that Seth actually cared for.


Reaching his quarters, Seth quickly started searching for Jono. He found the blond in the area he had set up for him, curled into a ball, eyes down.


As soon as Seth approached him, Jono lifted his head, looking at his master with sorrowful eyes. Nonetheless he decided to be nice; after all, Seth had been nice to him all these years without even touching him. He gave him an education, and he didn’t have to do that.


“How was the fest…”


Jono didn’t even time to finish his question before Seth grabbed him from the waist, brought him up to a standing position, bringing him close, and smashing their lips together.


Seth kissed Jono hungrily, devouring the boy.


Jono couldn’t remember a time when he was kissed more passionately in his life. His knees were getting weaker and weaker. He was very glad for Seth’s strong arms holding him.


Seth was almost crushing the poor boy. But no matter how close to him he held Jono, he still couldn’t get close enough.


Seth eventually had to break the kiss as he ran out of oxygen. He opened his eyes to look at Jono and realized that this was the sight he always wanted to see.


Jono’s eyes were half-way open. His golden locks were messy and were falling all over his eyes, but that was a sexy look for the boy. His cheeks were flushed pink. His pink lips were open and slightly swollen from the harsh kiss. His slim arms were holding on to Seth’s more muscular ones for support.


“I am sorry.” Seth was now staring at the perfect blond boy in front of him, unable to take his eyes off of him or blink for that matter.


“For what, master?” Jono was really confused. His master’s mood swings were really inexplicable.


“For treating you the way I did yesterday and most of today.” Seth had now picked up Jono into his arms bridal style and was carrying him to his private sleeping chambers.


“You don’t have to apologize. You are my master. You are free to do as you wish with me.” Jono was still a little suspicious of his master’s motif. He wanted to believe that his master cared for him, but the other had hurt him too much.


Seth lay Jono gently down on his bed, handling the boy as if he were made out of glass, afraid to break the preciousness in his arms.


“I wanted to tell you something earlier, but I am a very stupid man.” Seth’s heart was racing, threatening to leap out of his chest. If Jono rejected him now, he would probably die on the spot.


Jono just stared back at his master, his heart beat increasing as well. He crossed his fingers and hoped that his master wasn’t just saying things to sleep with him again and then treat him like shit the next morning just like he had the last time.


“Your love isn’t unrequited. I do love you. I just… I was always told that it was a weakness to love. I am sorry. I am an idiot.” Seth had never been this honest in his life, or this human like. He was always cold. He never showed his emotions. But as Jono looked into his eyes, he saw sincerity there.


“I shouldn’t have waited this long to tell you. I am so sorry. I was afraid of rejection.” Jono didn’t know what happened inside of his heart, but he found himself hugging Seth, forgiving all that happened. It just felt so right to be with the man.


Seth hugged Jono back, his heart relaxing at the boy’s loving touch.


“It’s okay, master. Everyone does things that he or she regrets later on in his or her life.” Jono gave Seth a genuine smile with this.


Seth just kissed the boy on the lips. However, this kiss ended way too soon for Jono. The blond opened his eyes and was about to protest when his master cut him off.


“From now on, call me Seth.”


With this Seth resumed kissing the boy again.


Jono was in pure bliss. Even though his master only told him to call him by his name, something not so uncommon, to Jono, it had other innuendos. This simple gesture meant the world to Jono. Even though in front of others, Seth was still his master, in private, they were equals.


That night, Seth made passionate love to Jono. However, come morning, Seth started acting peculiar again.
