On one side of the library Essek was tucked into his chair, his nose buried in a book on glyphs he was only half processing as he read. The reason for his distraction was a certain redhead who was bent over a dossier with his long time best friend.
Caleb groaned as he glared at the papers in front of him. “This makes no sense, he’s been seen everywhere but no one knows where he actually is.”
Smirking, Essek traced a sigil on the back of his book and sent off a message spell to the man. “I love when you make that noise, liebling.”
“I -” Caleb coughed and glared over his shoulder before turning back to Beau. “I think we should focus on patterns and see if those could be used to trace him.”
Essek smiled over his book at his lover then pretended to go back to reading for a time until another opportunity to present itself.
“Hey, did you see this?” Beau asked, pushing a scroll over to him. “Apparently he was born not far from here, maybe we should go check that out to start.”
“Fuck me,” Caleb grumbled as he read over the paper Beau had passed, annoyed he had missed something so crucial.
“I didn’t think you would want an audience for that but I will gladly bend you over the table if that’s what you want.” Essek whispered another message across the room, not lifting his eyes from his book.
Across the room Caleb tried not to react to Essek’s latest message but his body clearly didn’t agree, his cock hardening in his pants. Leaning across the table to pass the scroll back to Beau he tried to discretely adjust his pants.
“Am I making things hard love?” Essek messaged again, not even trying to keep quiet as he shifted to ease the pressure on his own erection. “Because I have definitely made things hard on myself. I can’t stop thinking about bending you over that table and burying my cock in you until you scream my name.”
Caleb had been trying to take a drink of his tea to collect himself when the last message came through, causing him to choke on the liquid.
“You alright there?” Beau asked, looking up from her map.
Caleb swallowed hard and nodded. “Ja, just swallowed wrong, did you find it on the map?”
Watching the pair, Essek waited until they were engrossed in their discussion again before sending another message across the room. “You know, I have something much more satisfying to choke on if you’d like.”
“Essek!” Caleb snapped, turning to glare at his lover who was feigning interest in his book.
“Yes liebling?” Essek asked, lowering his book to raise an eyebrow at the other man.
Caleb glared before pointing to the map, “I’m having trouble finding something. Can you come take a look?”
As he set his book down Essek sent one last message, “I will gladly cum any time you want me to love.”
Beau looked up from the map with a sigh, completely oblivious to the tension between the two men. “That might be a good idea, it looks like this map is out of date. Or maybe it's been updated since he lived here. I don’t know which but for some reason the town listed is nowhere to be found.”
Gliding over to the table Essek looked down at the map, a hand casually coming to rest on Caleb’s lower back where he could feel the tension radiating through the other man. “Where are you trying to find?”
“This scroll says he was born in a small village on the northern end of the Cyrios Mountains but there are no villages up there.” Caleb explained, passing him the paper that had become the source of their latest perplexation.
Essek read the missive and then looked over the map. After a moment he pointed to a small copse of trees, “I think it’s here. If I remember correctly there are ruins on the edge of those trees that could have once been a village. One of our Beacons was recovered there.”
“Shattengrod! Of course!” Beau exclaimed, smacking her forehead as she remembered. “The Assembly has always had an interest in those ruins, and if a Beacon was there it could have been taken there by our target.”
Caleb nodded in agreement. “Ja, makes sense. Why don’t we take the rest of the night then we can head over there tomorrow and look around.”
“Day after tomorrow, I want to spend time with Yasha before I take off again.” Beau smirked.
“Sounds like a plan,” Caleb laughed as he started packing up their notes. “I’ll clean this up so you can get going.”
Beau nodded, already grabbing her things and heading for the door. “Appreciate you both. Have a good night!” And with that she was gone.
As soon as the door clicked behind her Caleb dropped his papers and spun to face Essek, grabbing the other man's hips and pulling him flush against his body. “You are a menace, liebling.”
“You love it.” Essek laughed, catching his lips in a heated kiss. “Now, do you want me to bend you over this table or should we retire upstairs?” He asked, pressing his thigh against Caleb’s cock.
