				The sheets slid back over his thighs as he sat up, yawning, seeing the mid-day sun spilling through the wall of windows in his room. As Prince, he didn't have to get up until he wanted to, so he usually started his day around mid-day and then stayed up late to hang out with either the few courtiers he actually trusted or the knight who had been there to take care of him since he was eleven. Yawning, he rolled onto his stomach, sighing softly. <br><br>"Prince? Are you awake?" <br><br>"Mmmf." <br><br>A servant came in and set his breakfast - on a silver tray - before him. He poked at the porridge, adding liberal amounts of brown sugar, having a great love of sweets. The juice was fresh and he took a quick sip, smiling as he tasted the cranberries sliding over his tongue, running his fingers back through his hair. <br><br>"Prince Aster, please eat your food." The servant was getting exasperated with his poking at the porridge, and he took a slow bite. The taste was sweet, if a bit heavy, utterly delicious. Refreshing. <br><br>"Thanks, Esme. Send in my protector, if you will." <br><br>Aster was a lovely creature, all slim white skin framed by long curtains of glossy, dark hair. His hair, as was court style, fell to his shoulder-blades, lucky enough to have inherited his mother's soft waves. His eyes were a sweet, cornflower blue, full of that impetuous pride that both prince's and the young have, but an exhaustion that can only come from being able to trust no one around you. Except, of course, for his dear knight.<br><br>Aster had drawn more and more on the older man, withdrawing from his friends, which was a bit worrisome to the King. <br><br>Aster was becoming disillusioned, starting to realize he couldn't trust his courtiers, his supposed friends.<br><br>He knew that he could trust his knight, though, since he would never leave his side. <br><br>Aster was shirtless, revealing a good bit of white flesh, and as he slept naked, the silk sheets pooled around the soft curve of a long-legged thigh, though he was fully hidden. The bedding, a kingly crimson, framed him as though he were being painted, farmed his slim frame. <br><br>Taking another warm bite of porridge, he licked his lips, shaking back the magnificent mane of hair as he fell back onto his bed, sighing. Perhaps he'd take a ride today. He had stayed inside for so long that he was afraid he'd sink down into his bed if he didn't manage to get himself out of the house.

				It was safe to say that his own sleeping habits and the prince's were... well, highly different. The early-rising of Dimitri clashed with the afternoon-rising of the young prince, though the boy's sleeping habits were not his responsibility. The only thing he had to keep an eye on was the prince himself. For quite some time now, the forty-year-old knight had kept his close watch on the prince no matter where he was. Horseback riding, fencing, archery, it didn't matter. If the prince was anywhere in the castle, there was no doubt that Dimitri was going to be somewhere nearby. Except for today. For some odd reason, the knight was not there to wake the prince up or stand at his door to keep a vigilant guard overnight. A servant had to be the one to waken the prince from his long slumber, and that was strange enough as it was.<br><br>Meanwhile, down below in the courtyard, the knight was busy training and had not realized the time that had passed so quickly. Each blow to the training dummy that had been set up was threatening to split the thing in half, for if one had excellent hearing, they would realize the slow cracking of the wood that kept it up. The man's punches were fierce and brutal, though upon looking at the knight himself, that was no big surprise. At a towering six feet and five inches, this man was a <em>beast</em> among men. Thickly muscled and scarred from the multitude of battles he had been in, he exuded masculinity and a gruff, stern personality. Strange that a prince could be the only one to soothe that personality into something a bit more gentle and comforting.<br><br>"Lord Dimitri!" While the knight was by no means noble blood, the servants had been calling him that for quite some time. Perhaps it was because he had been in the knighthood for a good twenty-five years and knew this castle better than any noble that took the throne. Rising up, he wiped his brow and looked back to the man with a furrowed brow. "What is it?" He inquired, deep voice rumbling lightly while he turned to him. Glancing up to the sky, he gauged the time and then blinked. <em>Time went by that fast?</em> He must've been getting old to be unable to pay such attention to a small detail. When the servant opened his mouth to speak, his own hand lifted to halt him and he shook his head, rushing out of the training room quickly.<br><br>"My prince." The man breathed slowly as he opened up the door. "Forgive me. I was... sidetracked." The sight of the prince's naked frame under the covers was not an uncommon one. After all, the nights nowadays were hot and stuffy, so the general reaction from most people would be to sleep naked like Dimitri and Aster did. "Did you sleep well, my prince?" He chuckled. "It is already noon." He settled down in one of the chairs, smirking and wiping his forehead with the handkerchief that rested in his pocket.<br><br>[I hope that's long enough. ^^ If not, just PM me and I'll edit it. &lt;3]

				Aster had been lounging lazily, obviously perfectly comfortable being naked, slowly licking the porridge off of his spoon. He stirred in a bit more sugar as the other man came in, a rare smile breaking onto his face, the sort of smile that these days, only Dimitri was able to coax out of him. The boy had been more and more withdrawn lately, though he was always open to Dimitri, always willing to allow the other man pull a smile out of him. It worked both ways, though, and Dimitri only seemed to soften around Aster in turn. <br><br>He didn't hear the heavy beats against the dummy, though what he did hear was the other man coming in and apologizing for not having come in early, that apology waved away by a small royal hand. "I only woke a few moments ago. I slept well enough. It's too hot to get any real sleep these days, though..." <br><br>He tugged the sheets a bit higher for decency's sake and then leant back.<br><br>"I want to take a ride today. Without the court...I know that I've been neglecting my courtiers but they're just so loathsome. Especially Sinclair and his cronies..." Sinclair was a young man who was of birth almost equal to the Prince, constantly egging Aster on and frustrating him, stabbing him in the back whenever he could. <br><br>The courtiers gossiped, constantly, and did their best to get under Prince Aster's skin in order to discredit him, or else they were so saccharine that it was sickening to be with them. <br><br>It was already, though, so long as Dimitri was there so he could lean on him. <br><br>"Mmf." He mumbled, pushing the tray away, sitting up. He rolled to his side then got up, giving the notably older man a good view of his backside and a long, lean side from shoulder to thigh as he padded into his dressing room. Despite the intricacy of his outfits, it only took him about fifteen minutes to get dressed, slipping into skin-tight white leggings and a red over-coat with fantastical griffins in thick gold embroidery, a sheet linen shirt spilling lace out. His hair frothed out in a mane of waves and curls about his face, pulling on his black riding boots. <br><br>"Let's get out of the castle. It's so hot, I want to go swimming. What about that deep part of the river that you showed me? Where you used to play as a child?" They had gone in the winter, but he wanted to go now, and soak in the water. He didn't know how to swim, but would hold onto Dimitri, and splash in the shallows. <br><br>The fresh air would do him some good, as well, and maybe add a bit of color to his ivory skin. <br><br>"Is that alright?"

				Ever since Dimitri could remember, Aster had been one that was completely comfortable with being naked. From the moment he grew old enough to dress himself, the boy was naked half the time and felt no shame whatsoever in moving about his room without a stitch of clothing on. Dimitri had learned to simply get over it, though. Aster at least dressed during dinner and when important nobles were visiting. And that was all he could really ask of him. The large knight watched as his young prince slid out of bed and sashayed to get clothes so he could finally dress himself. As before, the sight of a naked Aster was commonplace and it only made him chuckle lowly. That did not mean that he couldn't enjoy the view while he was at it, though.<br><br>As the boy began to speak, he was utterly quiet until there was a good ten seconds of silence. "Well, which would you prefer, my prince? You want to go riding without the court, but you also want to go swimming." He laughed in amusement and crossed his powerful arms over his chest. Even if he did go out to swim with the young prince, he would not need his armour. He was skilled enough to know when someone was around and he could hold his own when it came to dodging swords and arrows. <br><br>"If you wish to go there, I will be completely happy to take you, my prince." It was quite adorable for the prince was getting older and he still wasn't able to swim. However, there was no lake around the castle and his father would've gone crazy at the idea of letting the prince out to the river to learn. But as long as the knight was with him, he knew he had to be safe. Adjusting the sword sheathed at his side, he offered his arm to the prince and let out a low chuckle. "To the stables, then." He grinned, leading the young prince out of the room and towards the stables where his own horse and the prince's were kept.<br><br>Dimitri's was a large black stallion that immediately whinnied as he entered the stable. The large knight caressed the side of its nose before he gently lead him out of his pen. Of course, he did not get on just yet. Once the young prince had his horse out, he gently took hold of his sides and helped him up onto the saddle. "There you are." He grinned, climbing onto his own horse and grasping the reins. "think you can keep up, my prince/" He smirked, snapping the reins as the horse took off quickly.

				Aster smoothed his clothing down and ran a brush through his hair, immediately trailing out towards the stables, kicking white pebbles ahead of him. "Both," He said impetuously, "I want to ride out to somewhere where we can swim. It's far too hot to be awake and not in cool water." He smiled, noting the powerful arms across the chest, quickly turning away and picking up his pace towards the stables. Shy, he didn't really understand the way his body buzzed when he saw that scarred, strong body. Especially when he knew those arms would keep him safe. <br><br>He headed into the stable and waved his hand, a servant immediately drawing out his large white horse, the highly-bred animal stomping and snorting until Aster came and pressed a kiss to the powerfully muscled neck. He ran a hand down the animal's flank, tapping it's ankles to check the bottom of the hooves for stones. <br><br>Satisfied, he allowed the knight to grip him tightly, strong hands clenching in on the slim waist. <br><br>He tossed his legs over the saddle, smiling faintly and sighing, shaking his hair back. He made sure that the reins were secure in his hands before looking at his knight, tapping his horse's sides and then roaring off at the same pace. The other guards frowned, never having liked when young Aster rode off with only one bodyguard, but it had gotten to the point that they didn't even bother objecting since he did it so often. <br><br>His horse sped across the long, open plains surrounding the castle, over the rearing and buckled hills of grass and stone. He followed the other man, the knee-length grass brushing against their horses, past the treeline and into the forest. He followed the other man to the lovely, deep river, hopping off his horse.<br><br>He tied the reins loosely to a tree, letting his horse graze, immediately taking his clothes off.<br><br>It was as though the second he got a chance, Aster shed his clothing. He greatly despised being dressed. He was much more comfortable naked, fully confident in his body, dipping waist-deep into the cool water immediately, sinking down to let the water soak into his dark hair, straightening it almost to his backside, thick and heavy, framing his brilliant blue eyes. "Come get in with me. Make sure I don't drown." <br><br>Though he almost always spoke in commands, they were soft, and he wouldn't object if the other man fought him over them. He would never object to anything that Dimitri did, having always looked up to the older man, having the greatest respect for him. <br><br>"Come here, my knight!" He laughed, joyously, so much happier when he was away from the court. "Come, splash. Enjoy yourself. Did you bring a flask of wine?" He wondered if the man had one, sinking down to sit, almost shoulder-deep now that he was in the water.

				The large knight could not help but smile as he saw his young prince being so happy and elated at the prospect of being away from the court. In the castle, the prince had to keep a sense of dignity and professionalism about him. When he was around other people, of course. Yet out here, he could do whatever he wanted and no one would give a damn. Dimitri especially, unless said "whatever he wanted" was going to endanger the prince's life. He rode through the tall grass with the young prince, horses battling the entire way to speed up in front of each other. Competitive animals, though they had apparently been trained that way. The big knight eased his horse to stall as they neared the deep river. He gently tied the horse to the tree to let it graze, more than happy to let the horse relax and eat by himself.<br><br>The second that was done, he turned to the prince who was already bare-assed and walking to the river. His eyes lingered on the delectable and plump bottom before the prince sunk down into the cold waters and beckoned him in. While the young prince was so comfortable being naked, Dimitri was not. To a certain extent he could do so, though he was not entirely comfortable by showing off all those scars that he had garnered over the years. He gently moved his fingers to the bottom of his sleeveless tunic and eased it up and over his head, folding it neatly afterward. His powerful torso was revealed, littered with scars of varying degree in severity over his body. IT was quite startling but it wasn't unattractive, for this man had a story to tell with each scar he had.<br><br>He gently eased his breeches down and off, revealing that he wore a pair of tight undergarments underneath that left little to the imagination of... well, how big he was in every aspect. The knight moved toward the river nad laughed gently as he sunk down into the cold waters. "Let's see you try to swim far away without me, my prince." He grinned and moved in front of the boy so he could hold onto his thick neck while they swam out to the middle of the river. The man waded slowly, a gentle grin on his face the entire time. Ah, he loved spending time like this with the young prince.<br><br>"Hold on tight, all right?" He dove underneath the water, swimming through the crystalline and clean water. He kicked his legs to propel them forward, his own slightly long chocolate hair dancing about underwater. He held onto the boy's thighs so he didn't lose his grip, continuing to cut through the water slowly.

				Dimitri was the only person who ever got to see a sweeter, more open side of Aster, when he was curling up and fooling around and just having fun. He didn't have to be anyone but himself when he was with the older man, which made him feel incredible. He felt so...light. As though he was made of nothing but air, but only when Dimitri was around. When other people came in, he filled up with lead, getting heavier and heavier until he couldn't breathe but Dimitri could always tell and would take him out in moments like this. <br><br>He didn't notice the eyes on his backside, not aware that the other man was attracted to men in the slightest, entirely uncertain about his feelings towards the other man. He had heard whispers of men coupling with other men but they were just that...whispers. He had only ever known of men and women coupling together. <br><br>He watched as the other man undressed, knees tucked up to his chin, smiling shyly. <br><br>His eyes grazed the other man's length, notably, having never really noticed it before. He looked away, cheeks pink, but immediately reached out to hold onto that muscular neck. <br><br>His slim arms wrapped around that strong neck, legs around his waist, nakedness pressed against the other man's back but soft. He wasn't hard, and held on tightly, eyes open and mouth pinched shut so as not to let out the air he had taken in. His eyes took in everything around them.<br><br>Small hands clutched at the broad chest, and when they came up for air, his bubbling and musical laughter was spilling over his lips as he coughed. <br><br>"It's so beautiful. I wish we had something like this in the palace. And it's so quiet underwater...!" <br><br>The strong hands were still wrapped around his thighs, and small as he was, the other man could easily palm his thighs and tug him around. His skin was pale as ivory around the other man's body, holding on tightly to him, burying his nose in the other man's chocolaty hair. "I want to stay here all day. Until the sun goes down."

				The large man soon came up for air and he laughed gently as he held onto the boy's thighs, feelign the boy snuggling up closer to his broad scarred back and pressing his head to his brown hair. He couldn't help but grin as the boy nestled so close to him, causing him to hold him even tighter. "You know, it's cute that you want to hold onto me while we siwm, but I really should teach you how some day." He chuckled and leaned his head back as he waded in the water. His head rested back against the prince's small, dainty shoulder and he grinned tiredly.<br><br>"I wish we had a river or a lake like this at the palace too. Unfortunately, it's al ittle bit hard to make an artificial lake." He chuckled. "One that's not natural... shame that we have to come all the way out here to get some relaxation, huh?" The boy's desire to stay here for the rest of the day did not go unheeded. Would people in the palace be angry with them for being gone so long, though? "It's not my idea, my prince. If you take responsibility for taking me out here, then I wouldn't mind in the least being out here for the rest of the day. We'd have to get out periodically so our skin doesn't prune, but it'd be quite relaxing, I'd say." He shifted the boy from his back to his front so the young male could sit on his lap while he leaned against hte side of the river.<br><br>Sometimes it shocked him so much to see how well the prince had turned out. This was the same prince whom he had to scare off monsters for when the young boy was little. The same prince that begged the big knight to stay with him so the monsters didn't get him. He smiled gently and looked down to the boy who was so comfortable as he was snuggled up to his chest. He squeezed him in his big arms and kissed the top of his head.<br><br>[I hope you don't mind the slightly shorter posts. If you want me to post more, just tell me. ^^]

				Smiling faintly, he shrugged, "No need. I'm always going to have you around to take me swimming and if I ever lost you then I'd never go swimming again." He shrugged faintly and laughed when he was held tighter, lifted and shifted about like he was little more than a rag doll. His bare body slid across the larger, water-slicked one, looking out at the trickling currents running underneath the surface of the water. "Of course. I'll tell the court that I decided I needed to have a day off. Just relaxing is nice..." <br><br>His head lolled back, heavy hair soaked with water and pulling it back to reveal his creamy throat, smiling faintly as those strong arms squeezed in tightly against him. He shyly curled against the other man's chest, resting his head on one broad shoulder, slim hands caressing his chest. <br><br>"Mm. Look! Songbirds." <br><br>He pointed up, seeing some flicks of lavender and blue dancing above them, right before the most beautiful birdcalls began to twitter before them, lasting only a few moments before it drifted away on the wind as they left to go and tend to the children they certainly had waiting in some large nest. <br><br>"Dimitri..." He paused briefly, "Why don't you have a wife? Everyone else goes and gets married. My father wants to marry me to one of the princesses from Angora." He knew it was probably a more personal question but he wanted to know why the other man didn't have a wife who he went home to at the end of the day while so many other people at court did. <br><br>His fingers traced patterns over the scars, content to stroke them, curious about the stories behind each but he had asked so many times that he didn't want to ask to hear the stories again. <br><br>"You've taken care of me for so long..." He mused, realizing how long it truly had been, "Thank you."

				He felt quite special that the young boy would never swim again unless Dimitri was with him. He grinned lightly and pressed a tender kiss to the boy's temple, his hands resting on the boy's lower back and sighing as he rested his head atop the boy's own. Each caress to his broad chest had the muscles tensing underneath the soft fingers, those scars quite sensitive as the fingers brushed over them so slowly. To many, this would be the action of only lovers. However, Dimitri had known Aster for so long and affection liek this was commonplace. His lips pressed once more to the top of his head as he heard the calling of the songbirds up above. His eyes turned upward and he grinned as he stared at them while they flew by.<br><br>"It's rare to see them around this season." He spoke softly while the boy paused and then questioned him. "A wife?" He blinked, looking down to him and smiling quietly as he stroked gently over his lower back. "My entire life has been the knighthood, Aster." He chuckled lowly. "To marry off to someone would be throwing my knighthood away in a sense. I live to protect the king and you, Aster." He stroked slowly along his back, rough fingers teasing the boy's spine while he held him in his lap. "That is all that I need to do to be happy in life. To have people to protect. I've taken care of you since you were just a little baby and I intend to take care of you until I'm on my deathbed." He grinned, ruffling his hair lightly.<br><br>"Mmhm. I can still remember wonderful moments of 'Dimitri, get me some ice cream!' and 'Dimitri, I wanna go watch you train!'" He laughed and shook his head. The boy had hung onto him like a child and a lost mother when he had been little. Of course, Dimitri was there every day, making sure that the little boy was protected and safe. No surprise that they would become close. "Good to know that that little boy turned out to be such a wonderful and sweet young man." He smiled, squeezing him a bit harder in his big arms and pressing a soft kiss to his forehead.

				Smiling faintly, Aster cuddled against Dimitri, more than pleased to be held. Physical contact such as this was highly frowned upon in the castle, but out here in nature, both he and Dimitri could do whatever they felt like doing. He leant back against the other man, smiling when he felt those lips graze his forehead in a moment of tender closeness, just enjoying the feel of someone against him. His eyes were distracted away from Dimitri by the songbirds.<br><br>When he did turn back, it was to listen to him talking about his life in the knighthood, how all he wanted was to protect the King and himself. "I'm glad. I just feel like maybe..." He shivered slightly as those rough fingers carressed his back and ran over his spine, making his back arch slightly, pressing closer instinctively.<br><br>"I feel like maybe father and I are keeping you from living a life you'd want to live." <br><br>He sighed, "I certainly don't want to get married but maybe you do." He shrugged, though began laughing softly when the other man told him about how he had been as a child. "Mmm." He mumbled when those strong arms wrapped around him, "I wish the courtiers were more like you." <br><br>He pressed a slow kiss to Dimitri's shoulder as he usually did, but paused, suddenly blushing as he though of the man.<br><br>He had never been with a woman or a man himself, but was curious about it, shy. "Dimitri?" He asked, slowly, "You know how I've never...uhm, taken a woman to my bed?" He looked down, watching the water, "Sometimes..." He watched a fish jet by them, flicking through the clear stream.<br><br>"Sometimes I notice...men. It's just, no one else seems to and I've never really heard of a man noticing other men..."

				Dimitri knew that had he been caught holding the prince like this, a delightfully naked prince, he would probably be hung for even laying a finger on the boy in an affectionate manner. His head nuzzled against the soft locks of the young male and he smiled as the boy spoke of his fears that he and his father were holding the knight back from a potential happy life. "My prince." He laughed, stroking the back of his head as he let the boy rest his head against his shoulder. he felt hte lips pressing to the soft flesh and over one of the scars, making him smile and sigh in delight. "You don't need to worry about such things, I assure you. My life is devoted to protecting you and that's all I care to do. If I desire to be with a woman, then I will." He reassured.<br><br>He was relaxing for quite some time before the boy questioned him again. "Mmhm. I would hope you haven't unless you are really sure about who it is." He lifted his brows and stared down to him. His hands rested ont he boy's lower back and he grinned as the other mentioned being with a man. "It's not all that uncommon, actually." He sat up and popped his back. "You just haven't been far outside of the castle walls. Knights and many kinds of men enjoy the company of other men." His arms rested ont he ground, stretched out and tensed. His whole body looked tensed since he had been training earlier, anyway.<br><br>"No one teaches innocent little princes like you those things because they want you to carry on the bloodline and create an heir, though."

				Aster lay comfortably against the other man's body, happy to have those fingers on his body, feeling so calm now that the other man was touching him. He nuzzled the other man slowly but it was entirely affectionate, smiling now that he was told openly that the other man was devoted to protecting him. He liked knowing that he had someone at his back no matter what happened, someone who would catch him no matter how far he managed to fall. <br><br>"No. I haven't." He told the other man, pressing his head to the other man's shoulder gently, looking up in obvious surprise when he was told that other man enjoyed the company of men. He laughed, though, when told that innocent princes like him weren't told such things because of the issue of bloodlines. <br><br>"I'm not so innocent. I've seen executions and other unpleasant things." <br><br>The executions such as hangings and beheadings of public traitors, the ones that would have Aster calm as anyone in public, but so sick he would vomit once he got back to his room. <br><br>"I...I'm not entirely unnormal, then? Abnormal?"<br><br>He licked his lips slowly as he thought.<br><br>"I'm not some sort of strange, awful person for not noticing women, or at least..." His fingers grazed those tense muscles, cheeks turning pink, swallowing hard, "Liking...men's bodies? I just can't help it..." He swallowed hard, running his fingertips down the strong man laying beneath him.

				The large knight shook his head and chuckled lightly. "Those are only punishments, my prince." He stated. "Everyone is allowed to see executions if they please. Though things such as men enjoying the company of other men or women enjoying the company of other women... that's a taboo in this kind of society. No one wants to speak about it because if one even hints at being together with someone of the same sex..." He rubbed the back of his neck and sighed lightly. "Things can become very... difficult in life. This kingdom does not condone the killing of someone based on their preference for a partner, but other individuals will take it upon themselves to ruin the lives of those people. Do you get what I'm saying, Aster?"<br><br>"But no, aster. You are not abnormal." He chuckled. "It's common. I live in the barracks with quite a lot of other men and they've revealed their preference for other men as well." He murmured, his hands stroking lovingly at his lower back. The muscles tensed gently as the fingers danced down over his powerful body, making him grunt lightly. "Well, does it feel natural to you, Aster?" He questioned. "Do you just like men naturally? If so... then no, there's nothing wrong with it and nothing's wrong with you either." He chuckled, pressing a loving kiss to his forehead.<br><br>"If it helps you, I've explored that kind of taboo before in my life as well. So you're not the only one who's felt feelings like that before."

				Aster shyly looked up at the other man, shocked to hear that, indeed, other men enjoyed the company of other males. That men in the barracks had done so before and that he wasn't a freak for noticing men. "I like...men. At night, when I..." he laughed, shyly, shrugging, "I think of men." He couldn't help it...it was a knee-jerk reaction to the rippling muscles, to strong arms, to heavily scarred skin...<br><br>No.<br><br>He couldn't think of Dimitri like that. It was innapropriate at best and dangerous at worst. The last thing he wanted to do was get Dimitri into trouble for making advances. He had a great respect for the other man.<br><br>Slim white fingertips trailed over Dimitri's body, his own entirely bare over the other man's, barely anything separating them physically from each other. "What does it feel like to lie with another man? Is it good?"<br><br>He couldn't imagine how good it must feel.

				To hear the boy so open about his pleasure at night was enough to make even the knight's cheeks get a bit redder, though he cleared his throat and chuckled silently to himself. He shook his head and ran his fingers up and down over the boy's spine, feeling the ridges as his fingers danced along it so slowly. To most, it would be embarrassing and shocking to have a naked boy in their lap, even moreso the prince. However, Dimitri had laid eyes on the naked frame of his young prince more than enough since the boy had preferred nudity since an early age. It was impossible to try to stop the boy from stripping as soon as he was able.<br><br>To try to explain the pleasure of being with another man was... quite hard, to be honest. This boy was a virgin who had been with neither, so he did it the best way he knew how. "All right, let's see... try to imagine what you do at night when you do pleasure yourself." He nodded. "Remember how tight you can squeeze then?" He questioned, laughing lightly and resting his arms on the side of the stream, powerful arms stretching out on the ground. "Multiply that about ten or fifteen times and imagine that around you. That's only if you decide to penetrate another man, anyway." He smirked. "It all depends on which role you'd want to take, Aster." He flicked his nose, winking.

				Pausing to think about what he was being told, cheeks still blazing, he looked at Dimitri. "Mmm...that sound wonderful. I think, though, that I'd...well, I wouldn't want to be the one on top. The one penetrating. I wouldn't know what to do. I'd much rather have someone guiding me through it than having to be the one taking control. Plus, I have to be in control for too much of my life anyways." He shrugged and lay forwards on the other man's body, pressing his hands to that strong, muscled chest. He looked at Dimitri curiously as he thought of all he was being told. <br><br>"You're so lucky to have experienced all of that. I've experienced almost nothing..." He sighed, resting his head on the other man's shoulder briefly. <br><br>He sat up again, though, water flowing about his hips. <br><br>"Maybe..." He trailed off, "Maybe I could kiss you? To see what it's like?" His cheeks went pink once again and he shook his head, "Listen to me. I sound like a fool." He sat up a bit more, water parting about his hips, body bare. He was so much more comfortable when he wasn't wearing anything.

				"I suppose I can see why you'd rather be the one being controlled and dominated." He nodded and chuckled quietly. His hands roamed up and down over the other's back as he leaned ihs head down against the other's own, smiling. "I wouldn't say lucky." He shrugged his broad shoulders nad laughed. "I'm lucky enough to have been with enough men and women to gain experience, that's all." He grinned down to him and brushed the boy's hair out of his eyes. No doubt that Dimitri would enjoy the company of women as well. However, he had yet to find a suitable lover who he would've been able to be happy with.<br><br>Soft brown eyes trailed down the naked figure of hsi young prince who was bordering on being exposed since the water was so low on his hips. His eyes trailed back up and he grinned handsomely as the boy questioned him. It was something that he shouldn't have even thought about. It was wrong on so many levels, though the primary reason he was nervous was because... this was a prince he had cared for since the boy was an infant. To kiss a boy he treated as his son... it would be strange.<br><br>Though he didn't care. "Of course." He smiled softly. "Just once." He winked, pressing a tnder kiss to his forehead and letting the boy kiss him.

				This was something that he'd done before. Kissing. When he received that soft kiss to his forehead he smiled, leaning forwards to let his lips graze the other man's. There had been a few awkward kisses with girl's nearby, ones that he had kissed just to have the experience, though this was entirely different. He pressed his lips to Dimitri's, slowly, first pressing his lips against the other man's and then deepening the kiss, parting his own far enough to invite the other man's tongue to slid against his own.<br><br>A few minutes of slow, deep, exploring kissing and he pulled back with a pink glow to his cheeks. His body had responded in a way that made it very obvious he had enjoyed the kiss, still feeling sparks dancing up and down his spine as he leant a bit closer and let out a soft and very slow breath.<br><br>This was...wonderful.<br><br>He couldn't believe that it felt so good to kiss someone. It felt like he had been hit by lightning and the shocks were still running up and down his spine, licking his lips slowly to get a few last tastes of Dimitri.<br><br>"Yes," he said with a slow breath, the water just barely covering the beginning of a noticeable acknowledgment of the pleasure, "I definitely like men." <br><br>He laughed shyly, shrugging a bit, sending his spectacular hair falling away from his face in a damp mass of waves and dark curls.

				The older man leaned back and accepted the kiss from this young boy, this delightfully erotic angel as he pressed his lips up against his own. This was a man that knew how to kiss, for he did it slowly and deepened it little by little. Not only was the kiss delicious, but the man's beard rubbed gently up against Aster's chin and jaw as he kissed him so passionately. His tongue brushed over the young male's own and after a few long minutes of kissing, he pulled away and licked his lips lightly. He had hopedt hat had been enough for the young prince, and after looking down at the water where he could barely see the boy's erect member, he knew he had.<br><br>"Wonderful." He grinned, drawing him close to his chest and letting the boy snuggle against him after such a slow, intense kiss. His hand smoothed over his delicate thigh, gently rubbing it while his free hand caressed his lower back as he had before. "Just don't go waltzing around and shouting that out to the heavens, hm?" He flicked his nose playfully and smirked. "I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you."<br><br>He had no problem that the boy liked men. Dimitri had gone through the same experience around Aster's age and he had a mentor, a knight much like himself to Aster, who had lead him through the experiences. "We better get out of here or we'll prune, Aster." He murmured down to him, patting his bottom under the water.

				Aster's own lips responded to the other man's, moving to meet each inch of the kiss, wanting to feel more and more, cuddling up against his body. The feel of the beard along his jawline sent shivers up and down his spine, holding on tightly to that strong body. He flushed when he saw the older man see his erection, giving a playful shrug to show that he wasn't able to stop it from appearing, leaning back a bit to let the water wash over him. The slim thighs parted a bit more when rubbed, adjusting their grip on the other man. <br><br>He held on tight, kissing his cheek once, then nodded, "I won't tell a soul. Our little secret." He said with a laugh, sighing heavily when told that they should get out. <br><br>"I'm supposed to go to a court luncheon today to discuss potential wives." <br><br>That, he hadn't told Dimitri. "I don't want to go. I think I'll just skip it." He mumbled, looking down, stroking his hands over and over on the muscles. He didn't want to go back to court. He just wanted to stay with this strong man who calmed him and kept him safe. <br><br>"We should go." <br><br>He sounded as if he were being dragged off to the gallows rather than off to a court lunch with his father. Aster and his father didn't get on well. The King loved his son because he was that - a son - but after that point they seemed to disagree on just about everything that Aster chose to do.

				Perhaps it was this boy's shamelessness that made him so attracted to him. The young prince was not like some blushing, naive boy that had not seen a thing in the world. True, the thought of two men together had been new for the young prince, but he was well aware of the cruelty of the world and how one couldn't stay innocent forever. The way he just casually shrugged off his nudity and his obvious erection was a sign that he didn't care to blush or hide himself from the knight's view. His lips curled into a grin and he chuckled as the lips pressed against his cheek. "Potential wives, hm?" Such an obstacle if this boy wanted to enjoy the company of men comfortably. His hand pat his lower back gently and he squeezed him in one strong arm.<br><br>"You're welcome to skip it, my prince. I'll help you, even." He chuckled and rose onto his feet, bringing the young male out of the water and stretching. The undergarments he wore clung to the contours of his powerful thighs, fabric clinging tightly there. "I'll tell them that you felt ill and you needed a good rest." He smirked, drying himself off and pulling his breeches on, as well as his sleeveless tunic. "Come on, my prince." He grinned, turning to him and winking. "We need to get back home." He took hold of the prince in one strong arm, hoisting him out of the water and letting him sit, perched on his powerful forearm. "You might want to get dressed. I'm not sure the other knights or the royals will be so welcome to the idea of you just strutting in naked."

				He smiled faintly and shrugged, leaning into that squeezing arm, clearly enjoying the touch. "I feel bad but I know that when I get my wife, I'll lie with her until she's with child...then, I'm on my own. My own lovers and such. I don't want to marry a woman that I don't love...and I doubt that I'd choose a woman to marry if I was allowed. I'll do it because my father is telling me to do it, though." The young man held a great bitterness towards the King, fully aware that he had no real control in his own life so long as the other man lived. <br><br>"Oh, good. That's why I like you so much, Dimitri. You help me skip things," he laughed as he got up. His eyes grazed the other man's body briefly before he shook himself off as a dog might, shaking most of his water off. He laughed as he was perched on that forearm, obviously not wanting to move, suddenly sighing and getting up.<br><br>"Yes, you're right. They are boring, aren't they? No nudity for them." <br><br>He was so much more comfortable in his own skin than he was in the royal garments he was expected to wear. Groaning, he tugged back on his formal clothing, buttoning and tying it shut, frowning at the lace spilling out of his collar, feeling as trussed up as a pig going to the slaughter house. <br><br>He stroked his horse's silky neck briefly and then sighed softly. <br><br>"You'll stay in my room tonight, right, Dimitri? I don't want to be alone with the foreign princesses wandering about."

				"Unfortunately, that's how things go." He sighed to himself and shook his head. "Royalty favours keeping the bloodline moving instead of letting their children decide what to do on their own." He rubbed at the bridge of his nose, smoothing his dark hair back and helping the prince onto his horse. He then climbed onto his own horse and took hold of the reins, smiling and rolling his eyes. "Ah yes. My life is meant to help you skip the most important of meetings, my prince." He chuckled and straightened up on the horse. When the boy was ready, they took off and he rode at a moderate pace alongside the young male. He coudl tell that Aster was not in the best of moods, though who would be? if Dimitri were in the boy's position, he would've run away from the kingdom long ago to do what he pleased. That was just in his nature to do what he damn well wanted. THe prince, however, was obligated to give a child to continue the bloodline.<br><br>"If that is what you wish, my prince. I'll be more than happy to stay in your room." It wouldn't be the first time that he had done such things. Dimitri rarely slept in the barracks anymore because Aster wanted him to be close by in case he needed him. No problem there, and the king didn't have a problem with it either since Dimitri <em>was</em> his bodyguard, after all. <br><br>"Afraid they'll jump your bones, my prince?" He grinned, laughing as they slowly trotted up to the stable.

				Sighing softly, he nodded, clambering onto the horse he couldn't get onto without Dimitri's help. His horse trotted forwards obediently, riding alongside the other man, not wanting to race back. Not wanting to go back at all. His blue eyes were stormy, a dangerous frown starting to appear over the edge of his slim face, obviously getting more and more uncomfortable with the ideas of greeting his future wives. As they got back to the stables, women in dresses like candy wrappers were spilling out of carriages in the front of the castle. <br><br>Giggling, chattering, they bumped each other and shrieked with laughter. Aster stuck out his tongue and nodded, "I don't want to risk a single one of them managing to get into my room." He frowned again, looking up at the other man and then leaning back momentarily on his horse. <br><br>He hopped down a few seconds later and then sighed.<br><br>"Let's go up to my room. We can play cards, or something...anything but go to that dinner. You can plead my being sick as the reason I'm not at the dinner." <br><br>He couldn't have been less sick, the laughter shining in his eyes showing what he wanted, showing that he wanted to try another kiss with the other man.

				Even from the stable, he could hear those shrill laughs and the uncontrollable giggles from the princesses who were likely talking about what they would do once they ascended the throne. Or what the prince could look like. He looked towards the large carriage and chuckled lowly as he watchedt he young women climb out. "I wouldn't mind that at all." He grinned and fixed their horses in the stable before he made his way towards the door that lead back into the castle. He peeked his head in and looked both ways before he and the prince quickly rushed across the hall and up the spiraling staircase that lead up to the prince's room.<br><br>He ushered the young man in and closed the door behind him, grinning. "Safe at last." He chuckled and pinched the boy's cheeks. "Little princy didn't want to meet all those yucky girls, did he?" He cooed in a baby voice and laughed. "What do you want to do, then?" he plopped ont he prince's bed, being careful since the bed was made for a boy of Aster's stature nad Dimitri was... obviously far from that. "Cards? Painting? What?"

				Smiling faintly, the other young man dashed across the hall, darting up the staircases before the other people would see them. The minute that Dimitri shut the door, he elbowed him as his cheeks were pinched, laughing. "You know I have no business with them. I don't want to do anything with them at all." He looked at the knight lying across his bed and smiled faintly, "We could play poker for favors. Strip poker," He laughed, then flopped onto the bed next to the knight who was dearer to him than any other man. <br><br>"Cards are always fun. I'm in no mood to paint," He said, "Though I'd like to drink. That would be fun..." He smiled faintly as he reached beneath the bed, drawing forth a bottle of the local brand of liquor, much stronger than wine, "I've spirited this away but tonight seems as god a time as any to drink it." <br><br>He smiled faintly and sat up, "What would <em>you</em> like to do, Dimitri? I rarely give you a chance to choose."

				"I know, my prince." He grinned, relaxing upon the bed and resting both of his hands behind his head. His broad chest rose and fell slowly while he relaxed, though he soon opened one eye at the prospect of playing cards with the young prince. "Strip poker? Now what would be the point in that? The point of the game is to embarrass the other and get them out of their clothes. I've known you since you were a little kid, my prince. I know that you'd rather just play poker naked than go through the trouble of adding "strip" to it." He nudged him lightly with one fist, laughing and rolling his eyes.<br><br>"Hmm. Liquor and cards, huh?" He stretched, sitting up and reaching over to the prince's bedstand. He pulled the deck of cards out and chuckled. "So let's get started, hm?" He snatched the bottl eof liquor and opened it up, takign a long swig of it and then handing it back to the prince. He grinned and set up the game of poker, finding the idea of playing strip poker to be quite fun. He hadn't done it since he was quite younger, so it felt nice and nostalgic to go back to those days.

				Aster laughed and elbowed the other man, "I happen to like my clothes off because it's more comfortable." He took a sip of the liquor when offered, then, dealing the cards once he had done so. After just a few rounds of cards, though, he would be notably tipsier, laughing much more easily, much more relaxed. <br><br>Aster would say things that were more bold - complaining about his father among them - only when he had been coerced to do so by drink. He smiled faintly and held on tightly to the other man, rolling so that he was practically lying atop him. <br><br>"I hate how you're so much better than me at cards. Years of experience." <br><br>He frowned, setting his head atop the other man's shoulder, plopping a card to the side to show that he was going to fold for this round, "I'm no good at cards. Oh, Dimitri, it's so wonderful not having to see the princesses. Thank you so much. It makes everything so much easier...infinitely easier." <br><br>He looked up at the other man, taking a few more long swigs before passing the bottle to Dimitri once more.<br><br>"Tell me...when did you first experiment with another man?"

				Was it proper of the prince's protector to let him drink so openly in front of him? Probably not. The king would throw a fit if he knew that his son was drinking liquor in favour of meeting princesses that could prove to be potential wives. However, Dimitri didn't see the problem in it. If the boy got sick from too much of the liquor, it would turn Dimitri's lie into a truth. He would tell the king that the boy had gotten sick so he didn't feel up to meeting the princesses, so if he got drunk and sick afterward, it would only make it true. Of course, he didn't want his prince to feel drunk or any of that.<br><br>Too bad the prince seemed to have a low tolerance for alcohol. "I've had many years of experience playing cards, my prince." He chuckled lowly and shook his head. He had been slightly startled as he felt the small figure of the prince climbing on top of him and then setting the cards to the side. "My first experiene with a man, hm?" The question had been expected, for Dimitri had experience with it and Aster was questioning which sex he enjoyed the company of more. He leaned his head back, thinking for a moment.<br><br>"I was seventeen." He nodded and chuckled. "My rival in the barracks." He smirked, his hand rubbing over his lower back. "We always argued and fought to be the best. Well, one day we had a competition. Whoever would win would get to get anythign they wanted from the other." He smirked. "He won and wanted me to... well, take his virginity."

				The younger man watched Dimitri carefully, curiously. "So you took his virginity?" A playful smile crossed the lips of the prince as he listened to the man who was both his knight and mentor. He took another swig of liquor, frowning slightly as a thought crossed his mind. "How will I ever be able to experiment with my sexuality if I'm always so closely watched?" Aster did pause long enough to laugh and add, "...Unless you lose to me in cards and I have you take my virginity like you did your rival's. Then again, you're even better than me at cards so that probably won't happen."<br><br>He laughed softly, leaning back against the older man and curling up against him after a few more heavy sips of liquor sent the world spinning. "I," Aster informed the older man, "...am drunk. As you should be. Here, have some more." <br><br>Aster held out the bottle of liquor with a laugh, leaning forwards to kiss the other man slowly, "Kiss me," he ordered, "I want to enjoy at least one thing about having the princesses here. You're a far better kisser than anyone..." his lips pressed against the other man's once more, "...anyone I've met before you..."

				"Probably not, my prince." He chuckled softly. The prince was speaking of him actually taking the young one's virginity, yet he was acting as if it didn't bother him at all. Of course, the prince was drunk, so Dimitri couldn't really take anything the boy said into account. His deep chocolate eyes watched the boy as he curled up closer to him and sipped upon more of the liquor. "Don't let the drink rule your thoughts, my prince." He took the bottle and gently sipped it, never one to get drunk. He lost his control and iddn't know what he was doing, so he preferred to just stay sober. <br><br>When he looked back to the prince, he was met with the lips of the boy against his own. His hand set the liquor down on the bedside table and it moved to the delicate hip of the young prince, caressing it in the meantime. "Mmm..." He nipped his lower lip and growled lovingly against his lips, bringing him even closer to his chest while they kissed so passionately. "It's a pleasure, my prince." He murmured. "I'm happy to be the best kisser you've met." He hoped the boy hadn't kissed a lot of people, but that couldn't be helped if he did.

				The young prince had indeed not kissed many people, just a few awkward brushes of lips on lips. He sighed quietly and contentedly against the lips of the other man, "I want you to more than this...kiss me, touch me. My body only responds like this when it's you kissing me. I like the feeling..." <br><br>His erection was growing against the other man's thigh, chest molded to Dimitri's though he was still, atypically, clothed. He smiled against those lips then let out a soft moan as the other man's stubble brushed his cheek, "If I asked you to, would you take my virginity?"<br><br>If the answer was no, he could later blame his question upon the liquor. If it was yes...well, he would let the older man lead from<br>&nbsp;there. <br><br>(Sorry so short...typing on my phone is hard!)

				Dimitri smirked as he gazed downward to the young male. His deep brown eyes sparkled with adoration for the young prince, locked with the boy's own eyes. "Really, now?" He chuckled lightly. "You know what kind of trouble I"d be in if someone found out that I took the prince's purity?" He inquired, his fingers teasing lightly along the smooth, hairless chin and jaw of his young prince. There was a long pause before he gently kissed his ear and chuckled.<br><br>"But I wouldn't really care what they had to say, now would I?" He teased, his powerful arms squeezing him while he pressed another deep kiss to the other's lips. "What do you want me to do to you first, hm?" He murmured tenderly into his ear.<br><br>[No problem. :3 I'm rushing a bit myself.]

				The young prince paused and tried to think clearly but it seemed that all if his blood had rushed down to a now rather prominent problem. He ground his hips slowly against the other man, savoring the contact, cheeks pink as he tried to think go to vocalize what he wanted past his nerves and the alcohol. Vision just a a bit blurry, he looked at the knight and moaned quietly. "I think...I want you to touch me. You know, down...there. I want to see what another hand on that part of me feels like." <br><br>His kisses now trailed up Dimitri's neck, full lips tasting him and savoring the way his skin felt. <br><br>"I want you to teach me about sex. Show me how to please you..."<br>

				His hands caressed lovingly up and down over his smooth sides, his rough, calloused fingertips teasing the soft flesh. He did not let the boy's grinding hips go unnoticed, for his own thigh was slowly beginning to grind up between the boy's own to tease his growing arousal. "Hmm..." He smirked, nipping his ear playfully and moving his fingers around to rest over the boy's groin. Fingers slid underneath undergarments and hooked them beneath the prince's small orbs, letting the boy's length spring up frmo out of those confines.<br><br>"As you wish, my prince." He murmured into his ear, laying him upon his back and slowly grasping the tunic his prince wore, sliding it over his head ands lowly stripping the young lad.

				Aster had never been a patient boy. Especially not when it came to things that he wanted. The fingers on his member had him gasping, and he struggled out of his clothes with the other man's help, bare as the day he was born within just a few minutes. He clearly enjoyed being naked, liked the feeling of the air on his skin. He let out a soft moan and curled against the other man once again.<br><br>"Please...that feels, so...ah, good..." There weren't words for the way that his body felt with the other man carressing him, touching him in ways that no one had ever done before.<br><br>There was a purity yet an undeniable wantoness to the way that the prince moved his body atop his knight's, wanting the man to want him as much as he wanted the older man.<br><br>"Dimitri, I..." His breath caught in his throat with another stroke, already so hard in the other man's hand, achingly hard.

				The large knight kept his eyes glued on his young prince, watching him squirm and plead with him for more. The man didn't want to rush the boy into something he wasn't prepared for, for pain came with that pleasure as well. "Shh." He chuckled and kissed his neck lightly as he held his naked prince to his chest. "I know it feels good, Aster." He teased. "This is only the beginning, though." He continued to jerk his yougn prince with his large hand, free hand moving around to gently squeeze and caress those succulent cheeks.<br><br>His thick finger slid in between and rubbed slowly at his tiny hole, untouched by any other man. Or so he hoped. "Mmm..." He kissed his neck and gently nuzzled at his neck. "You're adorable, my prince." he teased softly, his big arms sliding tightly around him while he pleasured him from both ends.

				He was indeed untouched by another man, showing in the way he moved his body, wantonly arching for something that he didn't understand but that he did know he liked. He whimpered softly, pressing back against that hand, then gasping as he felt that thick and rough finger slide around his body to touch his tight hole.<br><br>"Mmmf..." He muffled his pleasure with a bite to the other man's shoulder, drawing up a mark with his teeth that he soothed with his tongue, moaning quietly. <br><br>He was trying to keep himself quiet but the door was already locked...he didn't care what the guards heard. They'd say nothing for fear that the prince would have them whipped or worse. It wasn't a problem unless the other courtiers heard, and if that happened, rumors were certain to spread like wildfire. "Please," he gasped, voice strained with pleasure.

				Dimitri kissed his neck slowly and let his tongue lavish over the smooth skin of the young prince. "Mmm..." He chuckled and slid his powerful arms aroundt he young male, drawing him closer while his finger slid along the tiny hole. It felt so heated and he knew that the young prince was eager to have it touched like this. Pressing one kiss to the boy's throat, his finger began to slowly wiggle its way inside and spread the boy open. The man's digits were quite large, so it was a lot different than being fingered by a regular man.<br><br>"So tight." He crooned against his ear lightly. The bite to his shoulder went ignored since he had a high tolerance for pain, so that simple bite did nothing for him. His arms stayed around him, one hand at his bottom and slowly fingering him while the other was busying itself by stroking the boy's growing member.

				Aster's whole body arched when the finger slowly made it's way into his body. It was foreign and felt strange at first, stinging a bit, but all the same he wanted it inside him. He moaned at the way the other man told him he was tight, eyes shutting biting his bottom lip and wondering how it would feel to have the other man's member actually inside his body.<br><br>"Wait, wait..." Aster gasped, trying to calm himself, "I'm going to...oh, Dimitri, if you don't stop I'll lose control..." he would have an orgasm, he meant, but was too shy to actually say it.<br><br>He gasped, reaching up for another kiss, "Another finger.

				His fingers teased the boy's sweet spot, spreading him open slowly with that large finger. He felt the boy's heat radiating and he knew that the young male was eager to be taken by a man like Dimitri. His lips pressed to the other's neck and he grinned when the boy spoke his protest. Ah, how this young male was so nervous about releasing... it would be much more intense than the times the prince had to himself.<br><br>"Of course, love. You want to release when we're together?" He chuckled as he moved the boy's hand down, planting it over the imposing package that Dimitri had between his thighs. Surely startling and fear-inducing to realize that would be going in the prince.<br><br>"Mmm..." To be pleaded with, told that he wanted to be dominated was the best thing that the prince could give him. That finger rubbed his prostate and another finger dove in to tickle it as well.

				Perhaps he was a masochist. Pehaps he really did enjoy knowing that for the first time, someone could touch him, even hurt him. Prince Aster had been safe for so long that now he wanted that danger, that rush that maybe it was too much, maybe he wouldn't be able to take all he was asking for but that he would do it anyways. His body would have to bend to take the other man. He wanted it. <br><br>"Dimitri, Dimitri..." Aster crooned, and just then, release washed over him as two fingers slipped into his body and began to pleasure him, tilting him over that edge that he couldn't fight.<br><br>He came, gasping, hand beginning to stroke that large member. <br><br>He was scared, in the best way, breath coming in soft little pants that made it hard for him to breathe. <br><br>"Oh, Dimitri. Dimitri, Dimitri, ah...Dimitri..." the other man's name was like a mantra, smooth on that soft voice, the royal voice. He was young, though, and quickly was aroused again by the two fingers, still soft, but clearly able to go again if the pleasure continued, gasping as those two wide fingers stretched the almost impossibly tight hole.

				His powerful arm drew the prince up close to his side, letting the boy be pressed up against it while he fingered him and brought the young man to complete, bone-shattering climax. His two fingers scissored back and forth inside of the small hole, spreading it and stretching it so the young male would be able to accommodate more. There was no doubt that the prince would be in intense pain when he did decide he was ready, but with that intense pain came the most intense pleasure. His lips came down on the prince's own to quieten him a bit while the young male orgasmed against his hip. <br><br>"That's it... that's it, love..." He cooed against his ear, driving the fingers deep inside and hitting the prostate with renewed fervor as his large cock was finally paid attention to. God knew how the boy was going to fit that inside of him, but they would manage. His mouth continued to ravish the prince's own. Dimitri was given the pure honour of dirtying the prince's innocence. Taking that innocence away and transforming him into an adult with this ritual.<br><br>A third finger entered, driving against his prostate and he continued to stretch the boy. IT would not be enough, but he knew that he would die if he did not get to get inside soon. "All right." He breathed, giving the pert bottom a light spank before he slowly rose up and situated his bulky, powerhouse of a frame over the small, miniscule prince. His form blocked the moonlight out and cast the prince in darkness as he took hold of those thighs, gently pushing them back to his shoulders to expose that tiny, stretched hole.<br><br>"Are you ready?"

				His climax seemed to roll on and on and on, unending, like waves crashing into him. The third finger hurt, though, drawing the boy back to what they were really doing, hands stroking the other man. He didn't know if he would be able to fit his member. No, instead, he was fairly certain that he wouldn't be able to fit that member inside of his body. <br><br>He was so small, and Dimitri was so bit, but that soft crooning voice made it okay. Even as he was turned over, his lips never left Dimitri's, clutching at him and deepening the kiss.<br><br>He didn't want to lose that wonderful feeling. <br><br>He gasped as his legs were pressed back, his whole body so revealed, cheeks going pink even though usually he was so comfortable with being naked. "Yes," he murmured softly, "I'm ready."<br><br>He would accept everything that Dimitri could give.<br><br>He wanted to do this, had chosen it, and depsite his anxiety about this he was looking forwards to the pleasure that he was sure the other man could bring him.<br><br>Why would he ever want one of those silly princesses when he could have...this?

				"It's going to hurt for a while, but I promise the pleasure will come eventually." He murmured. He knew hsi prince would be in a lot of pain at first, though he wanted to ensure that he knew what he was doing. Sliding the boy's legs onto his broad shoulders, his powerful frame slowly lowered itself onto the boy and pressed him down to the bedsheets. "Tell me if I'm crushing you." He chuckled, keeping his full weight off of the boy. His thick tip ilned up with the prince's tiny entrance and rubbed along it slowly, smearing it with the precum that the boy had worked out of him.<br><br>Slowly, his hips pressed forward and he grit his teeth as he struggled to fit the thick tip inside. It was quite a task since the boy was a virgin and that tightness was incomparable to anything else he had been in. "Unggh..." He grunted, pushing further and pressing his hips a bit harder until the broad tip finally split the hole wide open, popping inside.<br><br>Now came the pain. "Hold onto me... you okay?"

				Nervously, the young man nodded, biting down hard on his lip. He didn't want to think about the thought that it would hurt, though the fact that the othe rman could crush him did make him laugh softly. He looked down at that thick length and swallowed, noticeably, gritting himself for the pain.<br><br>There was pressure, and then...agh, there it was, in his body. And, Gods, it <em>hurt</em>. His breath came in a soft pant.<br><br>"Just...push...it in..."<br><br>His teeth were bared, jaw hard and clenched, fingertips digging into the other man's shoulders. Better to get it all in one go, he figured, even though he felt like he would be torn apart. <br><br>He was tight, so tight, and could feel every ridge and vein of the cock clenched so tightly in his body.<br><br>"Dimitri..."<br><br>Aster's royal voice came out just a bit strained, face a bit white, obviously not enjoying that initial pain of penetration as it was so different from anything that he had ever experienced before.

His strong arms squeezed him particularly hard as he pushed his hips forward and sank every thick inch into the boy, hilting inside of him and hitting the young male's prostate with his large member.

A high keening noise of pain leaked out from between the soft lips before they clenched tight, nails digging into the other man's shoulders as he finally hilted every inch into his body. <br><br>His breathing was shallow, but a slight push of those hips bumped something - something wonderful, something that relieved that pain a little bit. <br><br>This felt so much better now.<br><br>His body was slowly adjusting to the thick length penetrating him.

				Dimitri stayed still through the entire moment, wanting to have the other tell him when he could move. He knew that it was quite hard for the young male to adjust to the impeccable thickness, though soon enough, he could see in his eyes that Aster had felt something much different than the normal pain. He grinned and curled his fingers into his hips, pressing a deep kiss to his prince's lips before he began to slowly rock his hips back and forth. Not thrusting, moreso just teasing the prostate to bring pleasure to it first. <br><br>"You all right?" He murmured lovingly into his ear as his hips pressed against his bottom.

He felt the inside of the boy squeezing and clinging to his huge member as the boy descended and ascended on it. His deep brown eyes almost rolled back into his head with pleasure, for this tightness and intensity hadn't been felt before by the large man.

				A virgin, indeed. The young man gasped when he felt his protector begin sliding in and out of him so very fast, and then all of a sudden start bouncing him up and down with his hands, controlling his smaller body easily. He couldn't help but toss his head back in pleasure. <br><br>His dark hair brushed his shoulders, falling like a wave of frothy ink, brilliant blue eyes shut as the other man came. He felt so very full and it spilled back down his creamy thighs.<br><br>Aster fell, weakly, onto the other man's chest after pulling off.<br><br>He felt so empty, now, seed leaking out of his body. "I'm so tired..." Aster mumbled softly, but he knew that they should bathe, and that he should get himself properly clean before he met the princesses.<br><br>He was so very, very exhausted, utterly overwhelmed.<br><br>"Dimitri, you're incredible..."

				Dimitri's chest heaved as he slowly got over his orgasm, his body tightening periodically and his eyes slowly gliding closed. "Mmh. You're not that bad yourself, my prince." He chuckled slowly. "You're quite good for a virgin." He smirked, hand coming down onto his plump rear and gving it a playful smack. "Come. Let's get a bath and then we'll get some sleep." The boy would definitely need it. The next morning, he would be more sore than he ever had in his entire life. Picking his prince up in a bridal-style fashion, he headed toward the bathroom that was connected with the prince's bedroom. In the center of said bathroom was a large wooden tub capable of fitting two. Beneath it, coals could be lit to warm up the water. There weren't many so the risk of burning someone was very low.<br><br>He walked toward a few buckets at the edge of the room that had water in them to pour into the tub. He did so, lighting the coals and then slowly dipping into the warming water. "Ahh..." He groaned, his muscles slowly relaxing as he relaxed in the bath with the young male. "You ready to meet your princesses tomorrow, my prince?" He smirked, stroking his lovely bottom. The young male would be meeting his princesses after being freshly fucked by his guard. How delightful.

				"No," Aster muttered darkly once he was set in the bath, "I want them to go home and I never want to see their stupid faces." Aster buried his face in Dimitri's shoulder, breathing in with a smile. "I wish that I could just stay with you, forever. You're so much better than those horrible women or the courtiers. I can trust you."<br><br>Plus, Dimitri was fabulous in bed, and didn't expect any more than he was able to give.<br><br>His country, though, expected so very much of him.<br><br>That was why he cared so much for Dimitri.

				Dimitri gently settled the prince into his lap as they sunk into the warm waters. "Mmmh..." He sighed and tilted his head back slowly as he held the small male up against his broad chest. "I know." He chuckled lightly. "But things aren't ever going to be that way and you know it, my prince." He smiled sadly, his fingers grasping his chin to tilt it up. "You're destined to be with a princess. If you could be pregnant, then perhaps the king would allow it, but things just dont' work out that way unfortunately." He chuckled, drawing him closer to his broad chest.<br><br>"I will be here at your side for the rest of your life, though. YOu will always have me to turn to, my prince." He promised, his hands stroking lovingly over the other's pale, smooth back. Untouched by scars or anything else, this beautiful skin was truly somethign to be worshiped.<br><br>[Me too.

				Aster lay limply against the other man's chest, panting softly, leaning against the strong frame. His whole body felt like it had been pounded. Of course, it had, which made the feeling all the better.<br><br>He frowned when his chin was tilted upwards to meet Dimitri's eyes.<br><br>"Yes, I know. It's just not fair, though. I have no say in anything. Even when I become King, my father's advisors will follow me about." <br><br>There was a plot hatching, as well, to rid the kingdom of the king and put Aster on the throne. The young prince knew nothing of it. It was the Lord Roman, the King's closest advisor and a man widely regarded as brilliant if cruel, who wanted the King gone. He would be appointed to help guide the young prince - effectively ruling the kingdom himself. He planned to undo the already fragile health of the King with poison, which he had started, and planned to finish in just a few days time. Let it be blamed upon one of the other kingdoms who had sent their princesses in the hopes of eventually having them be a queen.<br><br>Aster, though, was blissfully unaware as was everyone in the sprawling castle. He lay against the other man, smiling faintly, though it was a sad one that looked out of place on his young face.<br><br>"It would be nice not to have to hide what I really am," he murmured, "But I suppose that's what comes with being a prince."

				Dimitri was unaware of the plot hatching to overthrow the king, but why wouldn't he be? His job was to guard the prince and the prince alone. There were other people to guard the king, after all. His hand drifted over the boy's side as the young male nestled in so closely to his side. "I know." He chuckled. "I wish that things could be different sometimes as well, love. But you are a prince and people have expectations of you. Nevertheless, I will be by your side through thick and thin until the day I die." He smiled, stroking his cheek gently. "I promise." He kissed his forehead and drew the blankets up higher over their bodies.<br><br>His hand rested on the boy's back and he drew him up close to his chest. "Get some rest, love." He kissed his forehead and nuzzled lovingly there.<br><br>[Sorry for short post, lovie. D:]

				Aster lay against his side and smiled, yawning softly now that he was clean, pressing against Dimitri and falling asleep within moments. Morning was upon them all too soon, though, and with a great blaring of trumpets everyone in the castle was summoned to wake. Aster merely cuddled closer to Dimitri and ignored the sound.<br><br>His servants would be in momentarily, though, to dress him properly so he could meet and choose his future bride.<br><br>Not that he really had a choice either way.<br><br>The princess of the most powerful Kindgom - Laerdon - would be his wife.

				Dimitri could unfortunately feel the sun's rays beating down on his chest as they poured through the windows. The trumpets outside were enough to keep anyone awake anyway. His eyes opened up slowly and he groaned as he slowly slid out of bed, popping his back and rising onto his feet. "Mmmh..." He yawned, pulling his undergarments on as well as his tunic and breeches. He would have to change downstairs before going to meet the prince and his new fiancee. He looked down to his prince and gently rested his hand on his cheek.<br><br>"C'mon, my prince." He grinned. "I know you don't want to do it, but it's necessary to meet this princess." He chuckled. He wished deeply that the kign would reconsider and hold off this marriage. His prince had been a part of him now and he felt... strangely attached to the young male.

				Aster grumbled but got out of bed and greeted his servants as they brought his clothing, securing his flowing shirt about him, with a rich collar of the most delicate gold lace, pinned in place by a sapphire the size of his small fist, rimmed in even more gleaming gold. His outfit was otherwise done in rich plum tones. <br><br>When he slipped into the little gold-buckled purple shoes, he clicked the heels together to shift them so they were a bit more comfortable, letting his thick hair be combed back.<br><br>It felt in a mass of roiling waves and curls.<br><br>He seemed tired with the royal crown on his head, also studded through with sapphires and rubies and one great, gleaming diamond, encircling his forehead and being mostly obscured by his hair.<br><br>He walked to the great hall with much fanfare, and was greeted there by a princess in green, with a mousy face and thin, unpleasant lips. They tilted upwards into a sneer when she saw the beautiful if somewhat feminine prince, her hair pulled back severely into an unflattering bun the color of brown dust.<br><br>Aster frowned.

				The large knight knew his duty and knew that it was to stay in the great hall to keep an eye on the prince and his new fiancee. The knight could automatically tell that this girl wasn't pleased with what she saw, which was a startling and bewildering discovery to Dimitri. Aster was absolutely beautiful in every sense of the word, so how could she not see that utter beauty that radiated about him? Ungrateful little pompous... his thoughts were cut off as he realized that he was not here to judge the choice of the king. He cleared his throat and moved forward, garbed in gleaming silver armour that made him look more like a god than a knight. All that armour upon such a bulky and powerful frame... it screamed something akin to royalty.<br><br>"Excuse me, my prince, my princess... perhaps we can retire to the dinign room to have a bit of wine? I'm sure both of you would get to know each other." He offered. He would've rejected the idea, but the king had already told him what to do with the two to keep them busy.

				The young lady - named Rose - nodded and led the way. Aster walked after her with a twitch to the corner of his mouth, barely managing to hide his frown, his courtiers writhing about them. The courtiers fawned and petted at them, to which Rose smiled and respondedly graciously, clearly loving the attention she rarely got.<br><br>Aster merely picked up a glass of wine and drained it, looking back at Dimitri, then holding his glass out to a servant for a refill. "So...we're to be married day after tomorrow."<br><br>"Yes," Rose said coldly, "And then, eventually, you will be King and I will be Queen."<br><br>Aster swallowed a bit more wine.<br><br>Lord Roman came in, setting long-fingered, pale hands on each of their shoulders, drawing them a bit closer. His hair was dark, nose slightly hooked, skin almost sallow. He would have been handsome, had a pleasant expression ever crossed his face, even once. "Look at you two together. Such a pretty couple."

				Dimitri remained silent as his prince drained the glass of wine. Why wouldn't he, though? Perhaps the slightest tinge of a drunken stupor could veil the harsh reality of this situation, if not briefly. He hated the way that Aster looked as he stood next to his future wife. This was the look of a boy who had lost hope and knew that it was impossible to fight anything. He frowned and kept his arms over his chest as a few of the courtiers came over to him and introduce themselves with batting eyelashes. They knew that being with the prince was impossible now, so they had their eyes on other people. WIth the way Dimitri looked, he could pass off as a royal. He only smiled and chattered gently with one of them while he turned his attention to Aster every so often.<br><br>How cruel this was to put the prince through this situation... and how he wished that he could push all the courtiers away from the prince. He wanted to draw him into his arms and hold him there for an eternity. However, he knew that it was a pipe dream. The cold reality of it was that the prince would be forced to marry, consummate the marriage, and rule as king alongside the young woman. The only pro of the situation would be that Dimitri would be there for the young male for the rest of his life.<br><br>He cleared his throat and excused himself before moving over to the prince and princess with a gentle smile. "Lord Roman. You look much better today." He was aware of the king's ailing health but there wasn't much that Dimitri could do about it. He was a knight, not a nurse. He bowed his head gently to the king he had served for many years.

				The King stood quietly beside Lord Roman, presiding over the court with a quiet power. He was dressed in his finery while Lord Roman, the man who was plotting his soon-to-come death, stood to the side dressed in all black. The King said nothing but offered a smile to his future daughter-in-law.

				[My bad. ^^ Thought Roman was the king. &gt;&gt;; -fail- xD]<br><br>The large male chuckled to himself as he watched the small prince look into the fire. He could see the fire burning in his eyes, though not only the literal one, but also the fire of anger in them. He gently pat the young male's back and lead him away from his king to stand next to the fireplace. "You look quite thrilled to be here, my prince." He teased, gently ruffling his hair and chuckling. He draped his big arm around the boy's shoulders. The king had known him for ages so he wouldn't be shocked to find the knight showing a bit of playfulness with his son.<br><br>"Would you like some more wine? I'm usually not one to advocate resorting to alcohol to bring away the pain, but hey." He smirked. "I know how you feel right now. The best thing to do is get drunk and forget about your worries."

				Dimitri smiled faintly at the sad sight of his young prince being drunk to drown away his sorrows. He had suggested it, but he didn't think the boy would actually do it. Nevertheless, he kept a close eye on him and when it was time to retire for the night, he excused himself as well. Dimitri moved away from the ballroom and chuckled as he slid his big arm around the boy's shoulders. He hated that his prince was so miserable. If he were in his position, he would probably be the same way.<br><br>"Let's get you back to your room." He sighed softly and moved up the long spiraling staircase to get to the boy's room at the top tower. Once there, Dimitri opened up the doors and lead the young prince inside. He figured the boy was exhausted and wanted to sleep, so Dimitri set him down and began to remove his shoes first. "Do you want a bath, my prince?" He questioned. "Or do you just want to go to sleep now?"

Start a new life without my stupid father watching over me or stupid Lord Roman arranging stupid marriages or my stupid future wife looking like some great horrible rat with that pointy nose and her horrible body." <br><br>She had an attractive enough body if one liked females, but the thought of having to grip at that curvy, ample form was less appealing than eating a live snake.<br><br>No, he had no desire to touch her, no desire to marry her.<br><br>"Kiss me, Dimitri," he said it as an order but the tone was softer than his voice rarely ever went, "Please, kiss me, I need..." he couldn't find the words to describe what he needed.<br><br>He needed to find someone who could accept him.<br><br>Or, rather, he needed to be able to be with that very person, who was pulling off his clothing piece by piece in a gesture of kindness to help him through his drunkenness.

"Well if you keep letting stupid things affect you like that, you're going to have a stupid wedding on your hands." He ruffled his hair and chuckled as he helped the boy undress. He loosened the robes he had been wearing and went to the closet to get a new robe for him to sleep in. He knew that the young male opted to sleep naked most of the time, but he wanted to at least help him stay warm in the night.<br><br>At the order, his eyebrows lifted in surprise. However, he would not refuse and order given by his prince. He bent and pressed his lips gently against the younger male's own to show that he still held much affection for his young prince. His hand rested against the back of his head and he smiled down to him as he held the drunken boy against his chest.<br><br>"Are you all right, Aster...?"

				Aster kissed Dimitri back, clinging to him for a few minutes before going limp again, mostly at the sight of the robe. Much like a disjointed doll, he rolled over the bedding and waved his hand to reject the robe, "I don't want to wear anything." Aster removed the last hair pins that had held his mane of curls back and lay on his bed, utterly naked, staring up blankly at the ceiling.<br><br>"I just feel...powerless. I'm the prince of this kingdom. I'm supposed to be powerful, but I can't even...decide what to wear and...and I have to hide my relationship with you, and...and I have to marry that stupid bitch of a girl." <br><br>Aster rarely, if ever, cursed. <br><br>Now his anger and frustration was clear, scowling up at the ceiling with his delicate jawline set as hard as it would go, frowning heavily before sitting up and looking at Aster.<br><br>"Will you sleep with me, tonight?

				Dimitri kissed him tenderly, pouring every bit of emotion and passion into that kiss to please the young boy. When the other pulled away, he smiled and settled down gently on the bed. "I know. I would feel similar to how you are if I were in your position." He murmured, his hand rubbing gently over his naked thigh. He bent to press a soft kiss to it and he trailed kisses up his thgih, over his delicate hip, along his smooth side, around his chest, and then up to his tender lips.<br><br>"Of course, my prince. I can sleep with you tonight." He stroked his thumb over his lower lip and smiled before turning and slowly beginning to unstrap the multitude of straps that held his armour to his powerful frame. It was a wonder how Dimitri walked around so easily with the heavy armour since each piece made a loud "clang" when it hit the ground. However, that powerful body that lay beneath was all the answer they needed to figure out how Dimitri could withstand such weight.<br><br>He slipped his tunic and his pants off to be left in his undergarments. He gently slid into bed with the prince, sliding up behind him and spooning with the young male. His fingers entwined with the boy's own as he slid his arms around him, laying kisses over his neck.

				Aster relaxed only when the other man was curled around his body, their almost naked forms - well, his naked form and Dimitri's almost naked form - wrapped up together as though they had been made that way. "She's not even that pretty," Aster complained, "And I'm supposed to have children with her. My mother at least had a pretty wife." <br><br>His own mother, who he had never known, and who had died giving birth to her first and only child who would be the crown prince. She had been a beautiful woman, rarely speaking, a tiny wisp of a thing with delicate features. <br><br>Aster resembled her in more ways than he knew.<br><br>He had only ever seen pictures or been told how kind she had been, but he had no memories of anyone but Dimitri and his nanny, and the nanny had been relegated to watching another household now.<br><br>Dimitri, though, he would always have by his side.<br><br>His father, at that moment, was falling into a series of violent seizures that he would not wake from.

There was no army around to attack them - unless something had changed in the last two hours - so what could possibly be happening?

His eyes widened and he quickly rose onto his feet to try to go find out what was going on, though the hand around his wrist prevented him from moving. Aster needed him to be here to keep him company and to keep him safe. The knight sighed and settled onto the bed, gently curling his hand around Aster's back and frowning. What was going on...?<br><br>The sad look upon the servant's face was already enough to tell him what had happened. The words struck a chord in Dimitri, for he had known the king his entire life and to realize he had passed on... his heart clenched and he gently drew his young lover closer to his chest. "Thank you." He spoke softly to the servant and motioned him to head out.<br><br>"Aster..." He murmured, his big arms coming around him and holding him close to his chest. "Aster, just let it out."

The lace tumbled from his throat with gold trim, and he tugged on a black wool jacket over that, yanking on the cream colored tights that passed as pants at that time, stuffing his feet into matching navy wool shoes. <br><br>He hugged his arms around himself, briefly, looking down.<br><br>His hair was still wild from sleep, and he looked up, face absolutely devoid of color.<br><br>It looked as though some terrible creature had come and sucked his blood from him, "My father was fine just earlier tonight. I mean, I know he was feeling ill, but how did it happen? It can't be natural, and now...oh, God..." He swallowed, feeling the world tilt dangerously, struggling not to pass out, "Oh, Gods above, I'm　King now..."<br><br>He looked at Dimitri just as the first knock at the door sounded, a knock that signified the first of many suitors waiting outside the door, wanting to garner favor with the new King.

				Dimitri frowned and watched the boy as he scrambled to get dressed. Yes, there would be a multitude of people coming to ruin their time alone to congratulate the new king. He threw on a fresh tunic and a pair of breeches, smoothing out his hair and watching the boy with an intensity not found anywhere else. "Hey." He murmured, rising onto his feet and grasping his shoulders. "Get a hold of yourself, Aster. I know it's overwhelming but you have to put on a strong facade for these people." He kissed his forehead and squeezed him tightly, a hug that showed he would be here for the entire time to help.<br><br>"Just try to relax, okay?" He sighed and stroked through his hair briefly. He was inwardly concerned as well. The king had been fine earlier, and now he was dead... it couldn't be natural. He would have to have the medic perhaps perform some kind of autopsy to figure out how he had died. He moved toward the door, worry filling his heart as to the possibilities of what had happened to the king. With that, the large knight opened up the door to meet the first suitor that would be congratulating Aster.<br><br>[So I don't know if they had autopsies back then. &gt;&gt; -fail-]

				Aster looked up at the man grasping his shoulder, a great shiver running down his slim frame, taking a moment to lean against Dimitri and try to gather a bit a strength. The hug helped him a little bit, soothing him slightly, just enough to let him relax enough to know that he both wanted to cry and scream and that he might just very well faint.<br><br>He nodded when told to relax.<br><br>The line of courtiers was unbelievably long already, and even more came running, their hair skewed to the side from sleep, clothes rumpled from their rush to get ready.<br><br>Aster stood and greeted them with what he hoped was a regal nod.<br><br>A few older courtiers in the back looked at him disapprovingly, making it clear that he was too young to be King, looking at the young man.<br><br>Lord Roman came striding down the hall in all black looking for all the world like a great vulture, swooping in to place a hand on Aster's shoulder, "I'm so sorry, my dear boy. I'll be here to help you with everything..."<br><br>Aster nodded, and rather like a mute, nodded weakly.

				Dimitri remaiend quiet as he spoke to a few of the courtiers, telling them to give the prince some time to adjust to the sudden death of his father. He didn't want them rushing forward and begging to become queen in such a terrible moment. He glanced down to his young prince and was about to speak before Ramon rushed forward down the hallway garbed in black. His eyebrows furrowed and he observed the older man silently before turning his attention to Aster.<br><br>"I think he'll be just fine for now. Let's just give him some time to grieve personally, all right?" His hand rested on the boy's shoulder, gently drawing him away from Ramon. Dimitri had never been a fan of the man and laways had suspicions on why he was so interested in the prince. "If you all do not mind, would you please retire from here for now? The prince needs his time to grieve alone." He spoke softly to the courtiers.

				Aster nodded and suddenly stumbled, half collapsing against Dimitri's side, raising a hand to his head. He was about to faint, or so it seemed, pale as he was. Finally he managed to steady himself, but the knowledge that the kingdom was now in his hands lay heavy on him. <br><br>Lord Roman looked up at Dimitri, raising a brow, "The King does not take time to grieve when his kingdom needs him." This sent another wave of fear through Aster who now looked as though he might just throw up on the next courtier to come near him.<br><br>Lord Roman's eyes grazed over Aster in a way that was less friendly and more appraising, sexual, though none of the courtiers noticed it in the bustle. Perhaps he could take the boy as a lover. Use physical affection to coax the boy to do what he wanted. He didn't know, though, that Dimitri was alread taking Aster.<br><br>The courtiers left, albeit grudgingly, and Aster turned and buried his head in Dimitri's shoulder. He was young, and scared, and Dimitri seemed to be the only thing that was solid in this terrible new situation.

				Dimitri held the young boy close to his side and frowned, feeling the boy nestling into his side for comfort. "The new <em>king</em> also needs some time to adjust to his new responsibilities." He growled. "So leave, Roman. Once he's gotten himself together, he'll take up the throne." He looked down to the boy and squeezed him closely. he didn't even give the man a chance to stay, for Dimitri was quite pushy. Literally. He ended up nudging the man out of the door and then shutting it, locking the door firmly so it was impossible to get in.<br><br>"There." He sighed and slid both arms around Aster, gently lifting him up and moving over to the bed. He settled down with the princ-- king in his lap, holding him in his big arms and stroking over his back lovingly. "Hey..." He smiled and lifted his chin. "we'll get through this, all right?" He kissed his nose and chuckled. "We've gotten through big hurdles like this before. I'll be here through thick and thin..." The main idea was that no matter how hard the situation, no matter how dangerous and terrifying, Dimitri would be right at his young lover's side the whole way.

				Aster smiled as his bodyguard strong-armed everyone, including Lord Roman, out of the room. He nuzzled the other man and kissed him, gently, once he had the chance. He leant into those muscled arms and sighed slightly. "I'm too young to be King, Dimitri. I'm not ready to rule a Kingdom."<br><br>He kissed him, gently, then rested his head on Dimitri's shoulder, "At least you'll be here. At least I know that I have you to count on..."<br><br>He smiled ever so faintly.<br><br>Despite the pale face and the slight shiver that ran up his spine, he did look comforted at that thought, leaning up into Dimitri's arms and kissing him deeply.<br><br>"Make me forget, for tonight.

				The large knight's arms held the boy close to his chest, enveloping him in a wall of firm, solid muscle that was impenetrable by even the strongest man. His lips pressed repeatedly along his face, laying soft kisses on pale, unmarred flesh. "I know you're not, Aster. We'll get through this though." He promised, sinking down onto the bed and bringing the prince into his lap. "We always do." His hands moved up his chest and he kissed his lips deeply while he gently parted the robes his young prince wore. It exposed his pale chest to the air, allowing his hands to rest over his chest and his rough palms began to tease at his perky nipples.<br><br>"Nothing will beo n your mind tonight but me, my prince." He smiled and nipped his lower lip, sealing their lips together once more in a passionate kiss. He gently slipped the robe down to his hips, hands roaming over his torso as if he possessed him.

"Dimitri," he panted softly, "Good..."<br><br>He returned the kiss deeply, then leant close, tearing the robes away from his body so hard they nearly ripped. He didn't want to wear them right now.<br><br>He wanted to be utterly bare in those moments.<br><br>He was naked, now, atop the other man.

				Dimitri was well aware of his prince's intentions. To feel pain because of how rough he would be... perhaps it would draw a veil over the world and hide Aster from the pain he felt. His powerful arms squeezed him tighter and his mouth planted against Aster's own. "Shh." He murmured, holding the prince's bare body against his armoured one. His fingers trailed down over smooth, pale flesh to feel every curve of his body. Rough hands palmed over the sensitive nipples, feeling them perk up underneath the large palms. "My prince..." He smiled, tilting his chin up and stroking over his jawline lovingly. "I love you more than anything on this earth." He whispered.<br><br>With that, their lips came together once more and the man slowly laid back with the boy on top of him. While his prince wanted him to claim him in a rough manner, he could not deny that he wanted to at least please the boy through foreplay at first. Perhaps his teasing and playing would shroud the truth of what was goign on around them. The bare hands smoothed over his back and down to his bottom where he grasped and parted the cheeks gently to reveal the puckered entrance to the air. His finger slid over it, gently rubbing at the boy's core.

				Aster let out a tiny whimper when his nipples were teased and those words of love were confessed in the soft darkness. "I love you too..." The words, though, were heavy with tears that hadn't fallen but that were threatening to fall as he realized that everyone he loved ran a very serious risk of being assassinated just for having known or having associated with him. <br><br>He shuddered at the thought of losing Dimitri.<br><br>He focused instead on the feel of his cheeks being parted. With his tight pink hole revealed to the room, one finger stroking it, he shivered and let out a lewd moan. He felt so very...exposed. It made him even harder when he felt Dimitri pulling him open.

				Dimitri's mouth teased and tickled the boy's sensitive nipples while he held his rear open. He growled softly, holding the boy against his torso and nuzzling at his chest lovingly. Dimitri was still fully clothed, so the boy's naked body was rubbing up against his frame, slightly tickled by the rough material of his tunic and breeches. His tongue swirled around both pink nubs before he drew one into his mouth to slowly suckle on. Meanwhile, his hands were busy at work. One hadn was rubbing at his bottom, a thick index finger gently pressing against his tiny entrance.<br><br>The other was around the young prince, cradling his arousal and teasing it with soft strokes and tickles. "Mmm..." He laid the young boy back in one arm, letting him hold onto him. He knew the boy needed someone to rely on and hold onto right now.

He cried out when the other man's tongue stroked at his nipples, teasing him, his bare body rubbing against the clothed one towering over him. He clung to Dimitri when laid back, wanting nothing more than to be held close, snuggling up to him while he was spread apart. The promise to keep him safe touched him, truly, and he kissed Dimitri hard. <br><br>"Fuck me," he cried out, "Please, I have to...I need..." He needed to know that he had someone looking out for him, someone who cared for him.

				"In due time, love." He promised gently into his ear. His finger rubbed around the exposed entrance before he speared his young prince on the thick digit. He grinned slowly and pressed a tender, loving kiss to his jawline as the little hole clung and squeezed onto his thick finger for dear life. He held the boy up against his chest, one powerful arm resting behind him and keeping him safe from the world. That's all that Dimitri wanted to do, after all. His prince's safety was all that mattered to him. The rest of the kingdom could perish as long as he had his prince with him.<br><br>His mouth sealed against the boy's own to quieten his cries while he fingered the young prince. His other hand teased at the hardened member, stroking over the length and jerking it slowly while he fingered him. His mouth kissed hungrily at Aster's own, leavign those little lips bruised as he pleasured him. To think it was wrong to do this after the boy's father had died... it didn't even cross his mind. No, the king himself would most likely smile upon said sight.<br><br>Dimitri was comforting his little prince in the only way he knew how: through affection and intimacy.

				It was a good thing that Aster's mouth had been covered because he screamed into Dimitri's mouth in pleasure, thrusting his body back onto the thick invading digit, groaning and writhing in pleasure atop the other man. "Oh, God...Dimitri, feels so...feels so good..." he gasped, sliding against Dimitri's body. The hands stroking at him nearly brought him off right there, and he had to swallow hard so that he would cum, shutting his eyes tightly and trying to focus on anything but how good it felt to have Dimitri's fingers on him.<br><br>That only lasted for a few seconds, though, before the pleasure brought his consciousness back. <br><br>He couldn't hold himself back.<br><br>He came, hard, responding to the hand wrapped around his cock.

				He let the boy's head rest against his powerful bicep as he fingered him and played with his slender shaft. He wanted to bring his prince to the top of his climax and then help him back down, only to drive back up to that point again. He grinned widely as he felt the warm seed gushing onto his chest and stomach, pooling between his pectorals and dribbling down over his hardened abdomen. "Mmm... my my, you were pent up." He teased, his finger pressing against his prostate. He didn't move it, only let his finger press to it and apply pressure to tease his young prince.<br><br>"Mmm... how I love you." He murmured down to him, kissing his lips and sliding his tongue into his mouth so they could kiss so passionately. "You're the most gorgeous thing I've ever laid eyes on, beautiful..."

				Aster bent over and cried out, loud, feeling the other man's strong arms come around him to brace him. "Start touching me," he gasped, letting out a loud cry when the other man rammed so viciously into his body. He was so full with the other man's cock. He couldn't bear how good this felt. He was about to go over that beautiful edge of orgasm and he grabbed the sheets, clenching them between his fingers, screaming for him. "More, more! Dimitri!" <br><br>He let his body shift and move back to meet each thrust, knowing it would be a bit hard to walk the next day, spread open so wide he thought he might just split. <br><br>"Dimitri!"

				"Relax, darling..." He grunted, hips thrusting up and his heavy cock plowing into his young prince's rear over and over again. His powerful body tensed, muscles shining in the dim light of the room as he took his little prince's rear over and over again. His big arms squeezed him close, bringing him down so he was laying against him while he was fucked. "Mmm... you're such a needy little thing..." He chuckled, thrusting harder and harder into his little rear.<br><br>"C'mon, gorgeous... make some noise for me, hm?" His hands squeezed ihs little rear tightly as he fucked the boy senseless.

				Aster complied, loudly, as he was asked to do. It started with his moans becoming louder and then became a series of cries with each thrust. As he came closer and closer to that sweet peak that he knew he was about to reach he screamed, grabbing him so hard that his fingers left slight bruises on the other man's shoulders as he came hard between them. He screamed, and to stifle that scream he pressed his lips against the other man's.<br><br>The kiss was hungry and deep and dark, pouring all of his pain into the older man. His muscles tensed and tightened so that every muscle was squeezing at the older man's cock.<br><br>He held onto the strongly muscle frame and cried out.<br><br>His hips moved to meet each thrust, and his orgasm was even longer, prolonged as he thrust up and down and he came for so long that it felt like he was experiencing it over and over again.

				If there was one sight that was beautiful, it had to be the boy in the throes of his orgasm. This time, however, it seemed that the orgasm was even longer than usual. His eyes glimmered in wonder as he watched his little prince bouncing about on his lap and fucking himself on the huge prick. The nails in his shoulders made him grit his teeth, though he drove his little lover to further orgasm as his hips rammed upward, fat cock pounding in and out of his little hole. "Mmmnh..." He groaned, his head tilting back. "Aster..." He growled, his arms bringing him down against his chest as he nailed his little rear.<br><br>Soon enough, the boy would feel the man's own orgasm bubbling up from those heavy balls of his. He let out a near feral roar as he came, torrents of the thick, potent seed pouring into his lover's little rear. "Ngh!" He groaned, thrusting no matter if he was cumming or not so the boy's hole was gushing his cum as it was overflown with such thick seed.<br><br>"I love you, Aster... unhh..."

				Aster cried out as he felt his lover reach orgasm as well, curling against his body as the two pressed against each other and urged on each other's pleasure, riding the thick member slamming up into him. He fell against the strong chest beneath him and panted, softly, whimpering a tiny bit. <br><br>The pain of having lost his father hit him immediately. Even with the insides of his thighs stained with the other man's seed, his body gleaming slightly, he buried his head into Dimitri's shoulder and began to cry.<br><br>He hadn't been close to his father.<br><br>He was keenly aware, though, that now he was an orphan. He had to take the country on as his own and had to learn how to rule even though he felt that he was far too young.

				Dimitri panted, his body glimmering with sweat as they both slowly came down from their climaxes. Now was when the pain would hit the boy full force, though. He caught his little prince and held him close as he felt tears stain his shoulder. "Shh..." He murmured, hand coming to stroke lovingly through the silken hair. "I'm here, love... I've got you..." He sighed, rocking his little lover in his big arms and frowning. He hated to see his little prince crying so hard, but the boy was thrust into the role of a king so suddenly and now he had no father.<br><br>"I'll take care of you, Aster." He promised int ohis ear, kissing it. "Forever and ever, I promise." He squeezed him, lifting his chin to kiss his lips comfortingly.

				Aster sobbed, and sobbed, and sobbed. He sobbed until he felt as though he had wrung all the water out of his body and that he was completely dry. He was exhausted, body limp, hiccoughing slightly. He curled up against Dimitri's chest and said nothing, just curled up close against him. Still hiccoughing, he tucked up within the strong arms and let his lover hold him. <br><br>"As long as you're here," he whispered, voice strained and thin and weak, "I'll be okay." <br><br>He was far too young to be King. He didn't have the force of will it took. Loving as he was, he had been spoiled as a child, and hadn't really been raised to take over the country.

				The large man kept his big arms around the young male as he sobbed. "Shh..." He murmured softly into his ear as the boy sobbed so harshly into his neck. Soon enough, Dimitri sat up and rocked his litlte prince back and forth in his arms, wanting to let him know that he was there. "Of course, Aster... I'll be here with you always." he promised, tilting his chin up and smiling. He kissed his lips softly and nuzzled at his neck gently. "I'll be here to help you through all this pain.

He finally managed to collapse against that thick chest and curl up against Dimitri's chest, "A tomb won't bring him back. I...I need you to run the country through me, Dimitri.

I don't want to have the hopes of a nation pinned to my shoulders."<br><br>He couldn't have that.<br><br>He wasn't responsible enough to handle that.<br><br>He closed his eyes and then within moments was asleep, he was that exhausted.

				"Aster..." He spoke, listening to the words and frowning as the boy collapsed against his chest. Aster did not want to take on the responsibilities of a king, but if he didn't, then who would? New royals would come in and overthrow them, taking over the place that he had worked so hard to protect throughout his life. He shook his head and held him tightly to his chest as the boy sobbed and clung to him. Soon enough, he felt his lover's form sinking against his. <em>Could I even run a nation?</em> Sure he could. There was a long silence before he slowly widened his eyes, delighted in an idea.<br><br>He would tell his young lover int he morning, though. Laying back, he brought the sheets up and covered both of them before he sank into sleep himself, wrapping the boy in a firm wall of muscle with his powerful arms.

				Aster slept. Aster slept, and slept more deeply than he had in years. It was like he had dropped into some sort of black coma where the world around him didn't exist. He relaxed, shut his eyes, and curled up into a little ball. Yes, that was alright. Dimitri would hold him and he would never have to worry again. <br><br>Morning came far too early for his tastes, with the trumpets to wake anyone who was not yet awake, making him toss his head side to side.<br><br>His hips ached.<br><br>That, at least, brought a small smile to his lips. He knew that he had been well and thoroughly fucked by the older man. Dimitri wouldn't have to hold back when he was with Aster. Aster would take all he had to give.

				The large knight was relaxing quietly in bed by the time that Aster <em>did</em> awaken. The knight was used to waking up quite early since he had to go to train the knights from time to time. Today, however, the knights had been allowed to forgo training to mourn for their king. The man sighed softly and looked down to the young male in his arm who was tossing his head and curling up tightly. "Aster..." He chuckled and gazed down to him, his hand sliding over his pristine jawline and rubbing lovingly.<br><br>"Aster..." He kissed his forehead and brought him on top of him with a gentle smile. "I think I've thought of a solution for this little problem of you not wanting to run the country." The man spoke, his hands sliding lovingly over his back.

"I want to," he whispered, the desire thick in his voice, "But I couldn't. I have to...I have to give the kingdom an heir." He suddenly felt that misery begin to swell up once more in his body, realizing he had no real choices he could make. "I wish you were King, Dimitri. You'd be a much better King than I'll ever manage to be. I'm just not cut out to be a King..." <br><br>He pressed his lips to Dimitri's, "Maybe...maybe I can make you into a Duke, and then give you the rights to being my Regent. You'd be able to run the country for me." <br><br>He shut his eyes, hard, "I'm such a coward..."

				Dimitri did realize that the boy had to give an heir. Regardless, an heir would have to be made for the kingdom. Dimitri sighed softly to himself and ran his hand lovingly along the boy's head, holding him close to his chest and closing his eyes. "If that is what you wish, then I will do it in a heartbeat, my prince." He promised. He was there to do whatever the boy wished. He kissed his temple and smiled up to him, his hands resting against his small arms. "No you're not, love. You've been heaped with responsibilities that you aren't ready to take yet." He held him tightly in his strong arms and nuzzled at the top of his head.<br><br>"I would do the same in your position." He chuckled. He had been with the king since his introduction into the throne, so he knew how to run a kingdom. "I would be glad to help." He smiled down to him and kissed his nose. "We'll find a way to get through this." He murmured. "What will you do, though? Do you intend to give an heir to the kingdom so quickly? You're so young, my prince..."

				"I'm not ready to have a child," he whispered softly, "But it'll be so much easier to throw me off of the throne if I don't have an heir to secure my bloodline. I'll have to bear a few nights with that horrible girl. She's still here, you know. After a few nights, though, she'll hopefully be pregnant. Then I can say with you forever...only be in your arms." <br><br>He shut his eyes and snuggled up close. <br><br>He couldn't deal with this pain. <br><br>He had lost his father and now would have to sleep with someone he didn't care for. "Please, Dimitri..." he whispered, eyes closed against the bright sunlight, "Don't be mad at me for sleeping with her. You're the only one that I'll ever want. You're the only one I want with me, but I have to have a queen on the throne."

				Dimitri sighed lowly as he recognized how horrible the boy felt from having to sire a child with this woman. "You know I'd take your place if I could, little one." He stroked his cheek and gazed down at him with saddened eyes. Dimitri was not unaccustomed to sleeping with women. He had done it before and it hadn't been all that bad. He preferred the sweetness of his young prince, but nothing could really change that now. "Of course. I won't be angry with you, dear. I know that you're only doing it for the sake of your kingdom." He kissed his full lips and smiled as he held him on his chest.<br><br>"I'm sure the kingdom and the visitors will take pity on you for today, Aster. They won't expect you to come out of your room. They'll think you're in mourning." He stroked his hand slowly through his hair and drew the blankets up around them. Dimitri was willing to lay in bed all day if that's what it took. "I'll be here with you til' the end of time if you will still have me, love." He grinned, laying back and wrapping him up in a firm wall of muscle.

"D'you think we can sneak out? Go out to the river and go swimming? I want to get out of here..." he didn't want to leave the blankets but he didn't want to stay in this castle, either.<br><br>"I want you to take me swimming." <br><br>He knew that he wasn't going to ever learn to swim on his own.

				Dimitri gazed down at his young prince and smiled softly. "It's all right. We can sneak out." He chuckled. LUckily, Dimitri had been a knight for so long and he knew secret little spots that could lead them out of the castle. He gave the prince a soft kiss on the head and then slid out of bed, quickly stretching and pulling on his tunic and breeches. The boy needed some time out of the castle. He moved toward the door and then glanced back at the beautiful young prince. "C'mon." He motioned him to follow, opening up the door.<br><br>Once Aster had started moving, Dimitri lead them down the long, spiraling staircase and toward one of the more hidden hallways that had a door that lead out to the back of the castle. It wasn't too much of a trip, luckily. They soon got out of the door and headed around to the stable. "You want to ride on my horse or take your own, love?" He slid his arm around him, squeezing him protectively.

Dimitri climbed onto the horse as well and then sat behind his young lover, taking hold of the reins and letting Aster lean back against his chest. "Everything's going to be just fine, love." He spoke down to him gently. He kissed the top of his head and gave him a gentle squeeze before the horse took off and he lead them toward the river that they swam in so much.<br><br>The knight was worried about his young lover, honestly. He was being forced to produce an heir for the kingdom so quickly, and not only that, but he also was far too young to rule a kingdom. He supposed that was why he was there with Aster, though.

				Dimitri knew that the situation that Aster wanted him in was one of... well, uncommon circumstances. A knight had never been appointed king unless he married a princess. Being shot through the ranks so quickly would surely make the other nobles uneasy and afraid of what Dimitri could do to gain such a high status. However, Dimitri was perfect for the job. He had been around and had advised the king multiple times on what he could do to resolve his issues. Such a sad time that the man had perished... he would definitely have to go to the funeral and pay respect to his king.<br><br>The large man soon arrived at the river and smiled as he helped his young lover off of the horse.

				Aster smiled faintly and nodded as he slipped into Dimitri's arms and then around to his back. "Why don't you ever swim naked like I do?" Aster's naked body was pressed up against the older man's back and was carefully molded to him so that he wouldn't fall off. All things considered, he knew that Dimitri would catch him and save him from drowning if he did happen to fall off, though he felt a bit more secure when he didn't have to worry about that happening. <br><br>He smiled faintly and tugged his fingers back through his hair, relaxing, totally and completely comfortable as the cool water lapped up over their skin while the last few leaves began to fall from the trees.

He didn't know if he was craving the body contact or perhaps he was afraid of drowning, but he enjoyed it either way.<br><br>He glanced up to the trees above and then sighed to himself. "Mmm.

The man's beard tickled at the soft flesh of his neck as he did so, peppering kisses along the pale, tender flesh. He couldn't help but laugh as the boy spoke that the early darkness would give them time to enjoy being in bed with each other. "I suppose you're correct."
