It was certainly a more forceful kiss than he wasused to; not that he was able to feel pain atall. However, The familiar sensation of blood trickling along his lips made the host pause. An almost reptilian-like tongue flicked out, recognizing the taste as his own- from the small cut on his lip; likely made by one of his own teethfrom being kissed so roughly. Nevertheless, hechose to blame the other man for it- as he’d donewith so many things prior to this.

“You s̵̸͡h̡o̴͏͘uļ̴d͢n͘'͡ţ̵ ḩ̛̰̭̺a̮̬v͏̠̮̀ͅe̡͟͏̬ ̶͕̪̞͎́d̷̯̳̳̻̳̠̹͢ͅo̢̲̗n͓̠͝͞ͅe̦ t̟̳̤̞̳̮͜h̷̡̩̪̯a̛̰̞͉̘͓͚̹t̼̫́͢~!” Despitethe dark tone and slight ‘distortion’ in his voice,there was a lyrical and almost playful qualityto it, as well. All the more unsettling was thelight-sounding chuckle afterwords, beforehe mashed their lips together. His handsreached towards Santiago’s chest, as if hewere about to caress him. Instead, Kevinburied sharp knife-like nails into the soft skin.Kevin laughed again- the sound muffled by the fact that he was still kissing the scientist, evenas his fingertips grew warm with blood. Hecould have ground them even deeper- until hishands were ripping apart his former lover’s ribcage, but he stopped once sure that he’dcaused significant pain. Contradictory to the action itself, he tore his mouth away from theother man’s, and kissed one of the newestpuncture wounds.As much as he’d grown to feel contempt forSantiago, he could not kill him- as he’d donewith his own interns, friends, and family. He had to wonder if that was out of mercy or cruelty; orif he were capable of either.“It’s alright. I forgive you!”
