“You asked him to beat you?” I demanded, frowning in confusion. “Why?”

“It’s his Needing—the cycle is coming to a peak.” Sel was still rubbing his arm. Though I hadn’t broken the skin, there was a white mark on his greenish-platinum skin.

“What Needing? What are you talking about?” I shook my head. Both of them had mentioned “the Needing” several times, but they had never fully explained it.

“It’s a magical disease—a sexually transmitted one.” Krynn still seemed to be struggling to speak. He looked at Seldarin pleadingly. “Sel, tell her—please?”

The big Fae sighed and nodded.

“All right. It’s a disease that makes you crave pain and humiliation—you feel it as a sexual pleasure,” he explained. “It runs in cycles and when a Needer’s cycle reaches a peak, they have to be hurt or sexually dominated in some way or they can get really sick.”

“You’re saying this is some kind of disease?” I demanded, still trying to understand. “You were hurting him because he has a disease?”

“Well, I can’t fuck him,” Sel growled, looking uncomfortable. “Which is how Needers usually get their fix—through rough or submissive sex.”

“They do?” I looked at Krynn. “Did you ask Sel to…to fuck you?”

He nodded, looking half-ashamed, but still drugged with lust.

“The pain of taking him would be?—”

“Too fucking much,” Seldarin said firmly. “You know I’m too big for you to take, Krynn. And besides, I don’t fucking go that way. You’re my best friend and I’d do almost anything to help you, but there has to be a line somewhere.”

“I know. I wouldn’t go that way either if I didn’t have the Needing…at least I don’t think I would.” Krynn shook his head. “I’ve had it for so long now, I can’t be sure of anything. Lady Elgiana infected me years ago, when I was her servant.”

“She infected you on purpose?” I asked. The Needing sounded like some form of bizarre magical sexual masochism. I still didn’t understand how that kind of kink was catching, though.

“Yes, but please don’t worry,” Krynn said quickly. “I can’t infect either you or Sel, no matter what we do together. “I’m just a host—a Needer. Not a Spreader like Lady Elgiana.”

“And the fact that he’s a Sin Eater and can feel the emotions of those he’s close to doesn’t help one fucking bit,” Sel remarked. “It only makes the Needing worse.”

“But how…how did she infect you?” I asked, shaking my head.

“She fucked him,” Sel said roughly. “Over and over until she was sure he was infected. Then she reinforced the Needing over multiple cycles until it was too ingrained to break or to cure—even by magical means.”

“Reinforced it? But…how?” I asked. I was learning a lot here—none of it pleasant. But I felt like I needed to know about this disease that was hurting Krynn—or at least, making him need to be hurt.

The lighter Fae hung his head, looking ashamed, but he answered my question anyway.

“Most often she would make me kneel before her and stroke my cock while she caned me or whipped me. She…she wouldn’t let me come until she broke the skin,” he added in a low voice.

“The mixture of pain and pleasure ingrains the magic of the disease even more deeply,” Sel explained. “It’s actually a magical parasite that can only infect people with certain tendencies. Krynn being a Sin Eater is what allowed him to become infected,” he added. “The parasite gets hungry over time and demands to be fed with sexual pain and humiliation—that’s the peak of the cycle.”

“Which is nearly where I am now,” Krynn said, still hanging his head. “I’m sorry you had to see Sel helping me, my Lady. I know it’s a deeply disgusting and shameful thing. But my Needing was growing too great to bear.”

The pain and humiliation in his eyes was almost too much for me to stand. He looked so ashamed of himself—so saddened by his own behavior that I felt my heart go out to him.

“Oh, Krynn…please don’t be upset!” Standing on my tiptoes, I reached up and put my hands on the sides of his face. Looking into his lovely green eyes I said, “I want you to know this isn’t your fault and I don’t think any less of you for it. All right?”

His eyes widened in disbelief.

“Do you mean that? Truly, my Lady?”

“Truly,” I said. I gave him a soft kiss on the lips before letting him go. Then I looked at Sel. “I’m sorry I, er, zapped you,” I told him. “Though I’m not really sure how I did it.”

“I think I know—it’s because you took some of my blood last night and absorbed some of my Power.” He rubbed his arm again. “Don’t worry, Princess it only stung a little—I’m fine.”

“I just thought…” I trailed off.
