    Roth collapsed on top of Kessler, panting for breath, his head limp on Kessler’s shoulder, their limbs entwined and still locked intimately together. Both of them were dripping with sweat, and spattered with cum. “Shit...”
    Kessler groaned and dropped his head on Roth’s shoulder. “Okay, so now what do we do?”
    Roth huffed out a hoarse laugh. “Well, I don’t think I’m ready to go picking out curtains, or anything.”
    Kessler snorted. “What I meant was; how often do you want to do this?”
    Roth drew in a long breath. “What? Fuck? How about whenever we feel the urge?”  
    Kessler chuckled and ran his fingers through Roth’s sweaty red mane. “You’re not going to get a whole lot of work done.”
    Roth groaned and pushed to sit up. He smiled down at this commander. “Neither are you.”
    Kessler grinned up at him. “That’s what staff are for.” He leaned up and pressed a kiss to Roth’s mouth.
    Roth met him halfway.

In his small tower room at the far end of the castle headquarters, First Lieutenant Ash lounged on his bed leaning back against the cast iron headboard with one long black-clad leg crossed over the other. His ice-gray gaze was focused entirely on the tiny television set on his dresser. Or more specifically, on the grainy black and white image of Jaeger and commander Kessler sharing a kiss after their rather frantic fuck.
    “So...” Ash swept a hand though his silver blond hair and smiled bitterly. “Who’s the dirty one now, Jaeger?” He reached over to his dresser and flicked the dial to cut off the image.
    Ash reached into his pocket and withdrew a piece of tightly folded black paper. He set the paper on his upraised palm and smiled at it. “Please tell your master that all went exactly as planned.”
    The folded paper abruptly rearranged itself into an origami fox. “Master says thank you for your kind assistance in this matter.”
    Ash grinned. “Tell your master, it was my pleasure. Really.” His smile evaporated, his gray gaze chilling to hoarfrost. “I owe your master my life. He’s welcome to my assistance any time he should need it, especially when it comes to Jaeger and his debts.”
    The paper fox bowed low, its paper tail flicking into the air. “Master says should the need arise, he will contact you in the usual fashion.”
    Ash rolled his eyes. “Don’t you mean when the need arises? I somehow doubt that Jaeger has learned his lesson, even from this.”
    The paper fox rose up on its hindquarters. “Master says in that case, he looks forward to working with you again.” The fox tilted its head. “He also says that your percentage of the profits have been deposited into your account.”
    Ash bit down on his bottom lip. “Please tell your master that I didn’t pass the innkeeper that card or deliver his letter for that.”
    The paper fox sat down on its haunches and shook its tiny head. “Master says he knows that, but a job well done deserves fair payment.”
    Ash snorted. “Tell your master thank you, but getting Jaeger to pay his own debts is more than enough payment for me.”
    The paper fox lifted a tiny paw. “Master says what’s done is done. What’s paid is paid.”
    Ash rolled his eyes. “Great, thanks.”
    The paper fox nodded. “Master says you’re welcome. He also says, stay alive and remain pure, Ash Wolfe. He is looking forward to collecting what you promised on your twenty-first birthday. Keeping you alive after that assassin nearly carved out your heart in Japan was not an easy feat.”
    Ash’s cheeks bloomed hot pink. “I haven’t forgotten.” He rolled his eyes. “Though I don’t know why he wants... that .”
    The paper fox sat up and pointed a tiny paw at the silver-haired boy. “Master says just because you do not see beauty in your face and form does not mean that others do not. He is most definitely looking forward to tasting more than merely your lips, Ash Wolfe.”
    Ash’s cheeks turned
