Summary
“Sorry Al-Haitham, I got carried away last night…” Kaveh murmurs, voice contrite as he brushes more kisses over the contusions on Al-Haitham’s skin, the velvet pads of his palm caressing the fast-fading scars slashed across Al-Haitham’s chest.
Al-Haitham only hums at this unnecessary show of concern. “To think you had once refused to touch me at all,” he says, mouth twitching up into a curve. “And yet here you are now—Greedy, insatiable, and barely able to restrain yourself.”
Indeed, it had taken nearly a year before Kaveh finally acquiesced to lie with Al-Haitham, to allow himself to partake in Al-Haitham’s offering of blood and flesh in order to quell the compulsions born of this wretched curse.
Kaveh, a man most unfortunate and afflicted with a curse, must subsist on human blood and flesh in order to calm the ravening were-beast within. Al-Haitham, a lonesome guardian deity of the forest, offers a contract in exchange for this strange companionship between the two.
