Justin knocked on the door leading to Emmett’s room.  He heard his friend telling him to come in.  When he did he found Sam and Daphne already inside.  “What are you guys doing?”

“Look what I got,” Emmett said turning his head so Justin could see the earring.

“Jesus, did it hurt?” Justin asked.

Emmett shook his head.  “How does it look?”

“It looks cool,” Daphne said.

“Who did it?” Justin asked frowning.

“I did,” Sam said.  “Do you want one?  Anywhere you want.”

Justin opened his mouth to protest but instead said, “Anywhere?”

“You’re not planning on piercing your dick, are you?” Daphne asked.

Emmett started laughing while Sam frowned.

Justin shook his head slowly.  “No way.  But I was thinking my nipples.”

“Both of them?” Sam asked.

“Uh,” Justin drawled and shrugged.  “I don’t know.”

“Go ask Brian about it,” Sam said.

“Why do I have to ask him anything?” Justin asked.

Emmett and Daphne frowned.

“Okay,” Sam told him.  “Come on.”

Justin followed Sam.  Emmett and Daphne were hot on their heels trying to convince the blond that he should talk with Brian about it first.  But Justin didn’t listen and he got his left nipple pierced and when Sam was going to do the other Justin pulled away saying it hurt too much.  

“You can use this to clean it,” Sam said giving Justin a black, plastic bottle.  

“I think you’re nuts,” Daphne told them.  “Both of you,” she said and looked at Emmett as well.

Justin shrugged.

“Does it hurt?” Emmett asked touching it.

“Hey!” Justin hissed.

“Show it to Brian,” Emmett said smiling.  

Justin grabbed his shirt and put it on.  

“Do you want one Daphne?” Sam asked.

“Have you lost your mind?” Daphne asked.  “What if it gets infected and then they’ll have to cut it out.”

“Jesus,” Emmett drawled.  “Drastic much?”

Justin smirked at their friendly banter.  He walked out of Sam’s room to go in search of Brian.  He found the man talking with Ryan and James. 

“Hold on a minute,” Brian said as he looked at Ryan.  “What do you want?”

“I need to show you something,” Justin said and licked his lips.

Brian arched a brow and excused himself from his men.  He walked a few feet away with the blond.  “What is it?”

“I did something for you,” Justin told him smiling.  “Guess what it is?”

Brian licked his lips.  “Dinner?”

Justin laughed and shook his head.  “No.”

Brian sighed, he haven’t forgotten Justin’s late night confession.  He felt uncomfortable standing next to the blond and knowing that Justin didn’t want him.  “I don’t have time for this.  I have things to do.”

“Come on, you have to guess,” Justin said.  “It’s something hot and it has to do with earrings.”

Brian narrowed his eyes.  “What the fuck did you do?” Brian asked losing his patience.

Justin grabbed Brian’s hand and pushed it against his pierced nipple.

Brian frowned and pulled his hand away.  He lifted Justin’s shirt to see what the fuck the blond had done.  “What were you thinking?”

“Don’t you like it?” Justin asked frowning.

Brian grabbed Justin’s wrist and started pulling him to their chambers.

“Brian,” Justin protested as the brunet dragged him away like a rag doll.  “I thought it would make you happy.”

“I’m anything but happy,” Brian hissed once they were in the room and he was throwing the door shut.

Justin swallowed hard.  “Why not?”

“Why the fuck didn’t you ask me before you mutilated your body?” Brian asked.  He found the nipple ring hot but he was mad with Justin still.  Before he might not have gotten so mad and let it slip.

Justin pouted but he was too shocked by Brian’s possessiveness to respond.  

“Your body is mine!” Brian hissed as he pushed Justin on top of the bed.  “Did you hear me?”

Justin nodded slowly as he looked at the brunet.  “Brian,” he gasped out as Brian got on top of him.

Brian ignored Justin’s pleads and let his other hand grab Justin’s nipple ring.  Justin gasped in pain and then moaned when Brian did it a second time.  Brian then pulled back and stripped Justin of his clothes.  

“Do you like it?” Justin asked when Brian stared at it.  

Brian frowned as he bent down and licked Justin’s pierced nipple.  Justin’s hand flew to Brian’s head. His fingers tangled themselves in the wild hair.

“Brian,” Justin moaned. 

“I like it,” Brian admitted.  “But still, you’re in a lot of trouble.”

“But...” Justin said.

“But nothing,” Brian cut him off. He opened his jeans and let his hard cock out.

Justin wrapped his legs around Brian’s waist.  

“You been a very bad boy,” Brian muttered as he licked Justin’s neck.  “You need to be punished.”

“Fuck me,” Justin hissed.  “Brian, please.”

Brian pulled back and reached for the lube.  He coated his fingers with the crystal, cold liquid.  He warmed it up just so he would make Justin wait and the blond would squirm.  Brian loved to watch Justin getting so impatient for him.

“Yes,” Justin groaned as he closed his eyes and threw his head back.  He squeezed his ass around Brian’s finger.  

“You want more,” Brian whispered as he pushed another finger inside.  He pushed against the blond’s prostate and felt him shake.

“You,” Justin moaned.  “You, Brian!”

Brian pulled his fingers away and pushed his engorged cock inside the tight hole.  Justin licked his lips and sighed. They kissed each other as they waited for Justin to adjust to Brian’s dick.

“Bri,” Justin moaned and stuck his tongue out to lick Brian’s chin.  “Fuck me hard.”

Brian grunted as he started to move faster.  He closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on not coming.  Slowly, Justin had become his everything and he was so mad that the blond didn’t felt the same way.  He wanted to give Justin everything he could without letting him go ever.

The captain started licking Justin’s neck.  His hands roamed the sweaty skin, their wanton body movements were each asking for more.  Justin moaned and felt himself drowning on a sea of pleasure.  His hands gripped Brian’s body never wanting to let go.

Justin opened his eyes and looked at Brian.  His hands gripped Brian’s shirt on the back.  He pushed and pulled his hips trying to get the maximum of pleasure.  He loved when Brian fucked him with his clothes on.  He could feel the material of Brian’s jeans rubbing against the back of his thighs.

“Fuck,” Brian groaned when Justin started working him.  His actions became more erratic as he fucked the younger man.

“Yes,” Justin groaned and his hand reached for Brian’s hand blindly.  When he found it he made the brunet touch him.

“Mmm,” Brian groaned over Justin’s ear.  “So much pre cum,” he whispered and he jerked the blond.  “Do I make you this wet?”

“Brian!” Justin yelled.  “Fuck!”

Brian sucked on Justin’s neck as his hand started moving faster on Justin’s steel cock.  He kissed Justin’s lips and then moved to the blond’s nipple.  He kissed the first one and then moved to the pierced nipple.  He licked it and then grabbed hold of the ring with his teeth and tugged at it.

“Oh fuck!” Justin hissed as he splashed his cum in Brian’s hand and the rest towards the front of Brian’s shirt.

Brian groaned his arms enveloping the smaller man and holding him tight as he hit his orgasm.  His body dropped on top of the smaller man.  He kissed Justin slowly and finally pulled away.

“Bri,” Justin whispered.  

Brian took off the shirt that had been splashed with Justin’s cum.  He cleaned the blond and himself with it before he gathered Justin in his arms again. 

“That was so good,” Justin muttered and smiled knowing that Brian had liked the nipple ring.  

Brian kissed him on the temple.

“Are you mad at me?” Justin asked.  “You know you liked it.”

“That’s not the point,” Brian hissed.  “You should have asked me.”

Justin stayed quiet and pouting.  He bit his lower lip and sat up on the bed. 

“Where are you going?” Brian asked as he pulled the blond back.  

“I don’t want to bother you,” Justin whispered.  “I know you’re mad.”

Brian shook his head.  “Forget about it.”

Justin turned his head to look at the brunet.  He leaned closer and kissed Brian.  “Do you forgive me?” the blond asked and kissed Brian again before he gave him his best sunshine smile.

“I forgive you,” Brian told him knowing that he would forgive his blond anything.

Justin wrapped his arms around the brunet.  He knew he would always get what he wanted from Brian.  He also believed that if he kept things civil between himself and Brian there would be a day when he could convince Brian to let him go home.  He just knew it and he wasn’t ready to give up that hope.

Brian tightened his hold on the blond.  He would show Justin that he was his property and if he wanted to do anything that had to do with his own body he would learn to ask Brian first.  The blond was going to learn one way or another; after all he had all the time in the world.

“I’m going nuts,” Justin protested.

“Me too except you’re the one who is driving me nuts,” Sam said glaring at Justin.  “You’re always saying the same shit.  We know, Jesus.  We all heard you the first thousand times.”

Justin sighed.  “Damn sorry.”

Sam shook his head.  “Never mind.”

“You two are like brothers,” Emmett said smirking.

Justin rolled his eyes.  He looked at Sam and they ended up smirking at each other.

“There, there,” Emmett said rubbing Justin’s back. “Everything is well and fine.”

“Are we going to make any stops?” Justin asked.  “We have been out here for months!”

Sam took a deep breath and replied, “We’re going to leave Emmett soon.”

“We’re close to the states?” Justin asked frowning.  It couldn’t be possible this wasn’t the way they had traveled.

“No,” Sam said.  “We’re leaving him someplace else close to the states.”

“What?” Emmett asked.  “Why?”

“Because it’s the captain’s orders,” Sam told him.  “You will be okay.  You’ll have money and your passport with you.  You’ll be able to go back home.”

Emmett swallowed as he looked at Justin.  He didn’t care if he was left at the end of the world; he was scared of being away from Justin and Daphne.  He didn’t want to leave his friends behind.  

“Don’t you want to go?” Sam asked seeing Emmett’s face.

“Of course he does,” Justin said.  “We all want to go,” he informed San.  He had to have a talk with Brian soon about Emmett and where he was going to drop his friend off.

“Even you?” Sam asked as he looked at Justin.

“I want to see my family and friends,” Justin pointed out.  “I miss them.  And I hate being on this ship.”

“I thought you would want to stay with Brian,” Sam said.

Justin frowned.  “I do but...it’s not easy.  This is so fucked up.  I mean, I want Brian and I want my home.  But if I had to choose it would be to go back.”

Sam shrugged as he looked at Justin.  He wouldn’t say anything; the blond had so much to learn.  

“Justin!” Brian yelled from a few feet away.  He had been looking for the blond.

Justin turned around and arched a brow.  “What did I do now?”

Brian shook his head.  “Come on.”

Justin sighed and got up.  He walked with the brunet to the interior of the ship.  Brian reached one of his men’s rooms and knocked on it. 

“What are we doing?” Justin asked.

Brian stayed quiet and Kenneth opened the door.  

“What?” Kenneth asked as he looked at them. 

“Did you get your toys when you went into the island?” Brian asked.

“Which ones are you asking about?” Kenneth asked the captain.  

“Justin is getting a tattoo,” Brian said.

“What?” Justin asked.

“Come on in,” Kenneth turned around and left the door open.

“What are you talking about?” Justin asked as he looked up at Brian.

“Get in,” Brian said pushing Justin inside and then closing the door.

Justin looked around the room and frowned.  He was scared beyond belief.  “Brian, I don’t want a tattoo,” Justin argued.  

“Kenneth is really good at doing them,” Brian kept on talking.  

“Fuck you, Brian,” Justin hissed.  “You’re not going to do this to me I won’t let you.”

Kenneth ignored their banter as he got the things ready.  He wondered what Brian had in mind for the blond.

Brian looked at Justin.  “You asked for it.”

“Excuse me?” Justin asked taken aback.

Brian pulled Justin into his arms.  “Actions have consequences, Justin,” he said and then rubbed Justin’s nipple ring.

Justin swallowed.  “Brian, please.”

“No,” the brunet said.  “This is what you get.  Next time you will learn to ask my permission first.  I want you to understand that your body belongs to me.  I can do what I want with it, not you.”

“I feel like I’m a five year old asking mother if I can go out to play,” Justin hissed.

“I’m not your mother,” Brian told him.  

“I know that,” Justin replied.

“I’m your owner,” Brian informed him.

“You said you were going to treat me...” Justin started protesting.

Brian kissed him hard.  “Nothing is going to change this so stop arguing,” the brunet muttered.

Justin sighed and knew it was true.  He could see it in Brian’s eyes.  “Whatever.”

Brian grinned as he wrapped his arms around the blond.  “Good boy.”

Justin got hard hearing Brian calling him that.  He smirked and kissed Brian’s neck.

Kenneth rolled his eyes and tried to pretend like he wasn’t there while Brian and Justin flirted with each other.  He was happy for the captain but he didn’t need to watch as they displayed their love for each other every second of the day.

Brian walked over to Kenneth and explained to the man what he wanted to be done.  Justin wondered what they were talking about.  Then when Kenneth said everything was ready the blond glared at Brian.  It was times like these when he felt like a piece of meat that he knew he had to go home and not stay on the ship.  But he wasn’t going to give up.  No matter how hard it would be to get away from Brian he would do it.

***

“Don’t touch me,” Justin hissed as he now lay on their bed.

Brian smirked as he caressed Justin’s hips.  The blond was naked resting on his stomach.  The brunet grabbed the cream that Kenneth had given him and started applying it on Justin’s lower back where the name Kinney was in black bold letter.

“It hurts,” Justin muttered.  “Why did you have to do this to me?  I hate you!”

“You do not,” Brian said smirking.  

Justin sighed.  “But still you shouldn’t have done this.  Why did you?”

“Because you’re mine,” Brian answered.  It was a way of convincing himself of Justin’s loyalty and love.  He had realized a few nights ago that he would never be able to control the blond, not really.  He knew that Justin wanted to leave him and hated everything he represented.  It hurt more than Brian was able to admit, even too himself.  He wanted Justin to stay and he would do anything he thought would force Justin’s compliance.  Tattooing Justin’s skin was a way of making himself believe that Justin was completely his.

“Well, it hurts,” Justin protested.  It had been two days and he was still complaining.”

“You’re such a princess,” Brian drawled.

“I’m not,” Justin argued.  

“Maybe it’s your skin,” Brian told him.  “Mine doesn’t hurt.”

“What?” Justin asked.  “You don’t have one.”

Brian smirked.  “I got one today while you were sleeping.”

“Let me see!” Justin hissed.  “Where?” he asked as he turned around and kneeled on the bed.  Then he realized that Brian was wearing a long sleeve shirt.  

Brian took off his shirt and threw it on the bed.  He had a big white patch in his forearm; slowly he started to take it off. 

Justin watched as his first name came into view.  Brian had gotten his name vertically on the side of his forearm.

“I like it,” Justin whispered.  “Why did you do it?”

Brian looked at Justin and shrugged.  “It’s not big deal.”

“We’re linked,” Justin whispered as Brian covered his tattoo again.  

Brian looked at Justin and pulled him closer.  “You think so?”

 Justin nodded and kissed Brian.  He caressed the captain’s face and felt his heart beating fast.  He was so happy having Brian holding him close.  He looked away and sighed.  He wished he could go home and yet he didn’t want to leave Brian. 

“Jus,” Brian whispered not asking what was wrong.  He hated when the blond got depressed.

“Can you put more of that thing on my skin,” Justin muttered as he turned away so Brian wouldn’t see his teary eyes.

“Sure,” Brian answered.

Justin got on his stomach again and closed his eyes.  He floated with happiness as he felt Brian’s hands on himself.  “Mmm,” Justin moaned.  “Thanks.”

Brian stayed quiet.  He wished he could give Justin what he wanted.  But he wasn’t going to; he could be called selfish and cruel.  It didn’t matter, he wanted Justin with him by his side and he would do anything to get it.  “Mine,” he whispered as he leaned closer to the blond.

Justin felt Brian’s breath on his neck and he shook uncontrollably.  He couldn’t help but smile.  The younger man opened his eyes, no longer teary and relished in the fact that there was no one as lucky.  Brian Kinney wanted him over everyone else and he was ecstatic with the knowledge.  

***

“What the fuck are you talking about?” Justin asked.  “You’re pissing me off Brian!”

Brian sighed and was glad that they were in their room.  He didn’t think he had seen Justin so mad in his entire life. 

“I can’t believe you,” Justin yelled.  “I trusted you.”

“No,” Brian stopped him.  “I’m not breaking my promise.  I said I was going to let Emmett go.  And he will be okay.”

“But this is so far away from home, Brian!”  Justin protested.

“He will be okay,” Brian said.  “I’m sending Sam and James with him.  They will leave him at the door of the airport.”

“What kind of airport?” Justin asked.  “What if the plane falls?”

“Justin!” Brian shouted.  “It’s going to be okay.  He will get home in no time.  Can you trust me?”

Justin sighed as he shook his head.  He was fighting it with all his might because he didn’t want to let Emmett go.  “I’m going to miss him.”

Brian sighed and pulled Justin close to him.  “I know.”

“I wish he could stay,” Justin muttered.

“He can stay,” Brian told him.

“No,” Justin said as he pulled away.  “I won’t let that happen.  He has to go home back to his family.  Brian, we have been missing for nine months.  Nine!”

Brian nodded slowly.  

“They have to be going insane,” Justin told him.  “And Emmett wants to go home.  No matter what he says.”

“Are you always making everyone else’s decisions for them?” Brian asked.

Justin glared at Brian.  “You should be one to talk!”

Brian sat in the bed.  He was tired of arguing with the blond.  “This decision isn’t going to change.”

Justin crossed his arms and pouted.  

“Look,” Brian said.  “He will be okay with a bit of money to make the trip back home.”

“I can’t believe you sometimes,” Justin said as he walked over to Brian and straddled him.  

Brian caressed Justin’s back.

“I’m mad at you,” Justin informed him.  He had his head on the crook of Brian’s neck.

“Is that so?” Brian asked as he pulled Justin back so he could see his face.

“Yes,” Justin told him as he pouted. 

“Mmm,” Brian acknowledge.

“Where are we?” Justin asked.  “I know we left the Mediterranean.”

“No,” Brian told him.  

“Close to the Caribbean?” Justin asked.

“No,” Brian answered.

Justin sighed.  “You never tell me where we’re at.”

Brian smiled.  “You don’t really need to know.”

Justin held on to Brian.  “Can I go with Emmett?”

Brian’s hold tightened on the blond.  “Are you fucking kidding me?”

“I had to try,” Justin said and grinned.

Brian narrowed his eyes at him.  Justin rolled his eyes and got off Brian.  He sat next to man.  They stayed together in silence.

“You will be okay,” Brian whispered.  “You have me.”

Justin shrugged as he went back to staring at the floor.  “You don’t understand anything.”

“You don’t know that,” Brian told him.

“I know your mom died,” Justin said.

Brian cringed.

“How would you feel if she was alive and you could go see her but couldn’t?” Justin asked.

“Relieved,” Brian told him.

“What?” Justin asked.  “You don’t mean that.”

“I do,” Brian said. “Ever since she found out that I was gay all she would tell me was that I was worth nothing.  That I was going to hell and that no one would love me.  So when she died and I really didn’t care.”

Justin swallowed.  “Well, how about your father?”

“I love my father,” Brian said.

“And I love my family,” Justin told him.  “And I miss my father and my mother and my sister.”

“And Chance?” Brian asked angry.

“Yes, I miss him.  But not in the way you think.  We never did anything much and I don’t think I ever loved him,” Justin said and omitted the part where he was thinking ‘I didn’t love him like I do you’.  “But that doesn’t matter anymore.  I don’t think things would be the same with him and me.  He was a friend before anything and that’s what I miss.  We could talk about anything.”

“So can we,” Brian pointed out.

Justin nodded slowly.  “But you don’t understand me.”

“I do,” Brian said.  “But still I won’t let you go.  Ever.”

Justin bit his lower lip and his eyes watered.  He felt so sad and yet part of him was happy to hear those words from Brian.  The man wanted him always there and he knew the brunet loved him and that’s why he didn’t want to let him go but part of him was yearning to be back home.

“I know you hate everything about this life,” Brian said.  “But you will learn to like it.”

“I doubt it,” Justin replied.

“Jus,” Brian whispered.

“Forget it,” Justin told him.  “Never mind.”

Brian pulled Justin back into his lap.  They kissed slowly their hands roaming their bodies.  Justin pulled back and stared into Brian’s eyes.  

“I don’t hate you,” Justin muttered.  

Brian smiled at that.

“I like it here,” Justin whispered.  “You’re the only thing I like about this whole experience, even the beautiful places we have seen don’t compare.”

Brian’s heart exploded with happiness but he remained calm.  “I can live with that,” he answered happy to know that the place that Justin liked so much was him.
