**The Transformation Begins**

The darkness of the alleyway seemed to swallow them whole as James's words hung in the air, leaving Regulus with a sense of foreboding. As they walked back to Regulus's apartment, the tension between them was palpable. James couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation, knowing that he had Orion's blessing to push Regulus to his limits. As they entered the apartment, Regulus seemed to shrink away from James, his eyes darting around the room as if searching for an escape. James chuckled to himself, knowing that he had already begun to break down Regulus's defenses. He walked over to Regulus, his movements deliberate and calculated, and cupped his face in his hand. "Don't be afraid, Regulus," James whispered, his voice low and soothing. "This is going to be a journey, and I'm going to be with you every step of the way." Regulus's eyes flashed with fear, but James just smiled and pulled him close. As the night wore on, James found himself growing more and more aroused, his desire for Regulus burning hotter with every passing moment. He could see the fear and uncertainty in Regulus's eyes, and he knew that he had to take him. James pulled Regulus into his arms, his lips crashing down on Regulus's in a fierce, dominating kiss. Regulus struggled at first, but James held him tight, his hands roaming over Regulus's body as he deepened the kiss. Slowly but surely, Regulus began to relax, his body molding to James's as he surrendered to the kiss. James's hands slipped under Regulus's shirt, his fingers tracing the curves of his back as he pulled him closer. As they stumbled backwards, James's hands guided Regulus to the bed, where he fell onto the mattress with a soft cry. James followed him down, his body covering Regulus's as he pinned him to the bed. Regulus's eyes went wide as James's weight bore down on him, but James just smiled and took him. With one swift motion, James plunged into Regulus, his cock filling him to the hilt. Regulus's eyes went wide, and he let out a soft cry as James began to move, his hips pumping furiously as he took Regulus with a fierce, dominating rhythm. Regulus's body tensed at first, but as James's thrusts grew stronger, he began to relax, his body accepting James's invasion. As the night wore on, James took Regulus with a ferocity that left him breathless and gasping. Regulus's body was soon trembling with pleasure, his eyes fluttering closed as he succumbed to James's relentless assault. Finally, with one last thrust, James came, his body shuddering with release as he collapsed onto Regulus's spent form. Regulus lay there, his body limp and exhausted, as James rolled off him and pulled the covers over them both. As he wrapped his arms around Regulus, pulling him close, Regulus's eyes drifted closed, and he fell into a deep, troubled sleep. James smiled to himself, knowing that the transformation had begun, and he would be there to guide Regulus every step of the way.
