Heldon was finally getting into a rhythm when he heard a voice interrupt them over his shoulder.

‘No matter how much you love this disgusting half-breed, you two will never be together.’ Ryce cackled over his shoulder and Heldon pulled off, distracted.

‘Yet, I’m not telling you anything new. You already knew that what you have with this abomination was never made to last.’ Ryce’s sinister voice coiled around him like wire, ready to loop around Heldon’s throat.

“I can’t…we can’t…I’m sorry, but I need you to stop.” Tival eased Heldon away.
