“Just…just stay like that, baby. Don’t move. Get used to it.”
He bobbed his head up and down. “Yeah. Good idea.”
He leaned forward and pressed his lips against Leonardo’s. He had no way of knowing how much time passed as the two of them kissed each other in that position, but he was astounded to realize moments later that he had started moving up and down on Leonardo’s dick without being aware of his movement. Leonardo helped by pushing up into him with a gentle and slow upward stroke. After a while, it wasn’t enough for him. He broke the kiss and stared into Leonardo’s eyes.
“Baby, don’t stop.”
He shook his head. “I want you to fuck me.”
“I am.”
“No. I mean, I’m going to lie on my back so you can pound into my ass.”
Leonardo hesitated briefly. “Are you certain?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay. I can’t last much longer, though. You’re so tight, warm, and alive inside.”
“It’s all right. I’m close, too.”
He thought Leonardo was going to pull out before penetrating him again, but his lover simply held him tight and rolled them over before thrusting into him with so much force and vigor that he was half-terrified they were going to destroy the bed. He choked when Leonardo hit something inside his ass that caused his vision to whiten for a second or two. Leonardo must have realized it, too, because the man continued to drill into the exact spot repeatedly.
Tristan had no doubt he was blabbering like an idiot over the next several minutes as Leonardo hammered into him. The sensation was out of this world. He didn’t know what was inside his ass, but he was thankful it was there. He wrapped his legs tighter around Leonardo’s waist and embraced his lover’s sweaty back as he was being fucked to within an inch of his life. He could feel and taste the drops of sweat dripping down from Leonardo onto him. Their bodies and legs were getting slippery, as well. He thought the sex would continue for hours, but it didn’t.
“I’m going to come, baby.”
“Yeah. Come inside me, Leo.”
He heard Leonardo’s breath stuttering for a few seconds right before he felt a powerful gush of warm cum spraying inside his ass. There was so much cum that he could feel it leaking out. The knowledge that he was being marked by Leonardo caused him to hit his second climax for the night. He rutted up against Leonardo’s chiseled stomach and reached his orgasm. Leonardo moaned even louder next to his ear, but he was too lost in his own pleasure to be aware of anything else. After a while, he felt Leonardo moving away from him, but he wrapped his legs even tighter around his lover.
“Baby, I’m crushing you.”
He shook his head. “No, you’re not. Stay inside me until it grows soft.”
Leonardo snorted. “That will never happen as long as my dick is buried inside your ass.”
“I don’t care.”
Leonardo beamed at him. “Let me adjust our position then. I’ll sleep behind you.”
“I don’t care as long as I have your cock inside my ass.”
Leonardo chortled. “Are you addicted to my dick now? I think I’m a little offended. I’m more than a stud service.”
Tristan snickered in return. “Whatever. You love my ass.”
“I really do, but I love you more.”
He rolled his eyes. “Corny, but effective. Just for the record, I love you, too.”
“Glad to know that.”
The two of them were still laughing as Leonardo moved them around, so the man was now lying on his side right behind Tristan, who pushed back closer toward his lover’s warm body.
“This is comfortable.”
“I agree, but we may end up sticking together when we wake up tomorrow morning. We have cum and sweat all over us.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll risk it.”
Tristan heaved out a contented sigh when Leonardo embraced him from behind. Then he closed his eyes. Once in a while, he could feel Leonardo’s dick twitching inside his ass, but he was too sated for the time being. Besides, all that he could think about was the fact that he was no longer a virgin. He had no regrets giving up his first time to Leonardo. It was an incredible experience. With that thought in mind, he drifted off to sleep.
Chapter 10
“Somebody had an excellent time last night. Plenty of fun, eh?”
Leonardo could feel the heat creeping up his neck and cheeks, but he ignored Isaac’s jibe. He could feel his parents’ eyes on him, as well. There was nothing he could do about all the unwanted attention, though. Hence, he decided to take the high road and pretended they weren’t all staring at him. Unfortunately, his plan didn’t take into account the fact that his twin children were unusually chatty.
“Fun?” Alexander spoke up, smiling in that innocent manner all children had. “Dad, is Uncle Isaac talking about you and Tristan?”
He was about to reply to his son’s question when Jacqueline chimed in with her own observation. “I saw Tristan coming out from Dad’s bedroom when I was on my way to breakfast. Can we also have a sleepover with Tristan, Dad? Please?”
He would probably combust from the embarrassment if he wasn’t well-versed in the art of acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary. “It’s nothing, Alex. Your uncle was being a nuisance. Jackie, we will talk about a sleepover some other time.”
Queen Evelynne smiled and rubbed her palms with obvious glee on her face. “Nonsense. We should have a nice conversation about that now. So, Jackie, are you sure Tristan walked out from your father’s bedroom?”
Jacqueline nodded while shoveling a spoonful of scrambled eggs into her mouth. “Tristan looked very handsome in his clothes. I think he wore the same clothes from last night.”
Leonardo wanted to bang his head against the breakfast table, but he was too dignified to do something like that. His father smirked at him before stretching out one hand toward his mother and Isaac. He glared at his parents and younger brother because he knew what was coming. His silent guess was accurate. He watched in resignation as his mother and Isaac each placed a thick wad of cash into his father’s hand.
“You’ve got to be kidding me? Don’t the three of you have anything better to do in your spare time?”
His mother shrugged while grinning. “We do, but this is so much more exciting.”
He shook his head before turning toward his father. “How much did you win?”
“Ten thousand a piece.”
He gaped. “The citizens of Gefrington would be appalled if they knew members of the royal family were making bets on each other’s lives.”
“I doubt that,” his mother piped up while sitting up straight. “Our bets may end up endearing us to them. They will probably stop labeling us as being stiff and boring.”
He snorted. “Yeah. Right. Anyway, Isaac, how did you know about me and Tristan having…I mean, doing the deed?”
Isaac snickered at his last-minute save. His younger brother couldn’t expect him to utter the word “sex” in front of his twins, but Isaac was far too amused for his comfort.
“Your tie,” his parents and younger brother chorused at the same time.
He glanced down at his tie for a few seconds before gazing at his parents and Isaac once again. “What’s wrong with my tie?”
His father chuckled. “Nothing. However, as your father, I know you own thousands of ties in your walk-in closet.”
“You will only wear that particular red tie when you score in the sack,” Isaac said.
“What’s score in the sack, Dad?”
He glared at Isaac, who was simultaneously blushing and apologetic, before smiling at his son. “It’s nothing important, Alex. I’ll explain the phrase to you when you’re older. Much older. Okay?”
“Okay.”
“What’s so special about that tie, Leo?”
He grimaced before facing his mother. “It was the tie I wore the first time I succeeded in…you-know-what.”
His mother smiled at
him. “I see. So you always put that on after you-know-what?”
“Yeah. It’s not intentional, though.”
“Leo is a sentimental fool,” Isaac teased. “He thinks of it as his lucky charm.”
“I like lucky charms,” Jacqueline piped up.
“Me, too,” Alexander half-yelled from next to his sister.
All four adults were stunned into silence for a second before they burst out laughing. After that, all six of them continued with their breakfast in relative silence, but Leonardo was reminded of the favor he asked from Isaac toward the end of the meal.
“Have you checked the ring out?”
Isaac’s expression turned serious. “Yeah. It’s as you expected.”
“What are you boys talking about now?”
Leonardo and Isaac eyed each other for a few seconds. Leonardo was aware he couldn’t keep his parents in the dark, though. He would need them to back him up later.
“It’s about Tristan.”
For the next ten minutes or so, he explained to his parents his suspicion about Tristan’s ring. Isaac would interject once in a while to fill in some of the details. When he was finished, his parents were flabbergasted and speechless for a moment.
“Are you going to tell him?”
He didn’t quite know how to respond to his father’s question. “Do you think I should?”
His father shrugged. “Do you love him?”
“I do.”
His mother heaved out a sigh. “Do you intend to marry him?”
He didn’t even hesitate with his answer. “I do.”
His father leaned against the chair while looking him straight in the eye. “Then you owe it to him and yourself to come clean. It’s not a great idea to enter a marriage with any secret, much less something as huge as the one we’re talking about.”
“I’m frightened the truth will hurt his feeling.”
He smiled at his mother when she reached across the table and grabbed one of his hands. “It will be worse if he knows about it later.”
He couldn’t deny the truth in that statement. “I’ll pull him aside after breakfast.”
“If things are getting so serious between the two of you, I think it’s time he joins us for our meals.”
He was taken aback by his father’s declaration. “You don’t think Tristan and I are moving too fast?”
“Your father and I had an arranged marriage, which was common back in our times. We only met each other a few times before we were wedded to each other. By comparison, you and Tristan are moving at a snail’s pace.”
Isaac tapped him on his shoulder to catch his attention. “You know how I feel about Tristan. I like him. He makes my big brother happy, so I’m more than delighted to welcome him into the family.”
Jacqueline beamed and nodded. “I like Tristan, too.”
“Me, too. Tristan is nice,” Alexander chimed in with a toothy grin.
Leonardo didn’t utter a single word for a moment. His gaze drifted back and forth from one member of his family to the next. He detected the relief in his parents’ eyes, while Isaac and the twins were simply excited for him.
“All right. I’ll have a chat with Tristan. No promises, though.”
Isaac chuckled. “We don’t expect you both to get married right away. Let’s deal with the peerage first. They’ve been hounding your ass for a while now. It’s time to shut them down. I can’t wait to see their faces.”
He rolled his eyes, but he agreed with Isaac. “They aren’t horrible people.”
His father snorted. “Nope. They’re just greedy elitists who are all vying for the throne.”
His mother nodded. “Your father and I tried to get them to change some of the policies, but we failed. I hope you have something strong enough to force them all to obey you.”
He smirked at his mother. “The history of the monarchy is fraught with lots of blackmail and other underhanded tactics. Isaac and I have been working together for a while now to collect all the proof we can get our hands on. I believe I’ll be able to persuade them once and for all.”
His mother beamed at him. “You’re going to make a fine king someday.”
He blushed upon hearing that. “Thank you. I appreciate the vouch of confidence.”
“Isaac, on the other hand—”
“Mother, I told you I’m not interested in the monarchy…”
Leonardo snickered in amusement. His mother and Isaac’s argument was an old one. He was aware of how Isaac felt about being a king. That was one of the reasons why he didn’t even consider abdicating. Not that he minded ascending the throne at all. He considered it his sacred duty. He loved Gefrington and its people. He was determined to show everyone he would be a great monarch in the future.
* * * *
“Regrets?”
Tristan shook his head. He and Leonardo were sitting in the garden, drinking tea, and eating a slice of chocolate cake each. Meanwhile, the twins were inside the palace with their tutor.
“No, Leo. None at all.”
He blushed when Leonardo gripped his chin gently before smiling at him. “Are you embarrassed? Oh, this is priceless. You are!”
He grinned at Leonardo in return. “It’s silly, isn’t it? I’m twenty-five years old, almost twenty-six, but I still find it difficult to mention the word…you know.”
“Sex?” Leonardo piped up with glee. “Baby, come on. You can say the word now. We had sex three times with each other. Why are you still shy about it?”
Tristan shrugged. “I don’t know.”
“Okay. Tell me something. What’s your favorite?”
“My…my favorite?”
“Yeah.” Leonardo’s voice was low and raspy. “Did you like it when I had my dick inside your ass the first two times we had sex? Or was the third time better when you were the one fucking me?”
Tristan’s hand trembled as he reached out for his teacup. He sipped on it for a moment before he replied. “The first two times.”
“Great. We can do more of that. As many times as you like. Just let me know if you want to be in the driver’s seat sometimes. I’ll be more than eager to feel your dick inside my ass.”
Tristan blushed even further when Leonardo winked at him. “Yeah. Okay.”
Leonardo nodded. “Now that we’ve got that conversation out of the way, I need to talk to you about the charity event from yesterday.”
“What about it?”
He picked up his own teacup to sip on the hot tea before replacing it on the table. “You’ve been living inside the palace for a while now. You’re aware we have people who take care of every aspect of our public personas and some of our personal stuff, as well.”
“Yeah. So?”
“Have you gone online at all today?”
Tristan understood what Leonardo was referring to in an instant. “I…I haven’t, but Thomas and Jacob called me earlier this morning right after breakfast.”
“Thomas and Jacob? Their names sound familiar.”
“The three of us used to work at the same diner and shared an apartment together. I was fortunate both of my previous employers were kind and compassionate, so I received ample money for my work in addition to my own bedroom in a small apartment and three square meals a day. My employers are married, but they’re unable to have children. They’re strict but fair toward all the employees.”
“I see. What did Thomas and Jacob talk to you about?”
“Our photos are everywhere.”
Leonardo guffawed. “That’s an exaggeration. The photographs are published on some websites and a few forums, including the ones of us kissing inside the building.”
“I see. Does this mean the twins and I have to remain inside the palace for the time being?”
Leonardo shook his head. “It doesn’t work like that, babe. The media will chase after you for months or maybe even years.”
Tristan gaped at Leonardo. “So, I won’t be able to go anywhere at all?”
“I didn’t say that. The public relation staff, the spokesperson, and the lawyers are going to take care of everything. They will release a formal statement. We have to control the situation before it gets out of hand. Please give them a day or two to handle the media before you venture outside with the twins. I’ll also make sure you have your own set of bodyguards even when the twins aren’t with you.”
“Oh! You don’t have to do that.”
“I have to,” Leonardo insisted with the vehemence clear in his voice. “I—”
Tristan was surprised when Leonardo stopped speaking all of a sudden. That was the moment he noticed one of the guards walking out from the palace and approaching Leonardo.
“Your Highness, please pardon my interruption. The Marquess and Earl arrived at the palace a few minutes ago, and they’re requesting for an audience with you. They claim it’s an urgent matter.”
Tristan stared at Leonardo. “What’s going on?”
Leonardo smiled at him. “Don’t worry, babe. Everything’s going to be all right. I promise. Why don’t you come along with me? I have a strong feeling the matter involves you, as well.”
He hesitated for a moment before responding. “Are you certain it will be all right?”
“Positive.”
He was reluctant, but he knew he couldn’t stay away, especially if he was a part of the problem. “Okay. Let’s go then.”
He felt a sense of relief when Leonardo reached for his hand and grabbed it tightly. He had no clue about anything that was about to happen during the meeting with the Marquess and Earl, but a voice inside him was telling him that his life was about to change. He wasn’t frightened, though. He believed in Leonardo. They might not have been together for a long time, but Leonardo made him feel safe. He didn’t doubt the strength of Leonardo’s feeling and devotion for him. Not even for a second.
Chapter 11
“What are their names?”
Leonardo was rather surprised by Tristan’s question, but he reminded himself that members of the royal family and the peerage weren’t in the same league as popular movie or music stars. It shouldn’t be astonishing to him that Tristan had no idea of the identity of the people they were dealing with. He gripped his lover’s hand tighter as they walked toward the formal living room near the entrance of the palace.
