Kai grunted as he was made to meet the ground, butt first, by one of the skilled knights in his retinue. It was his fault for having his head in the clouds, and his body couldn’t compensate entirely for his lack of awareness.
“Your Majesty,” the knight said breathlessly as he jumped off his horse and hurried to him. “I apologize for throwing you off! Please forgive me!”
Kai pushed himself up. “No sweat, man. I wasn’t paying attention. Let’s do that again.”
His current body had many wonderful perks, it seemed, among which the fact that he didn’t feel as much pain as ordinary people.
“I will make sure not to throw all my strength behind it this time,” the knight pleaded.
“Oh, you make sure you do, or I’ll get mad,” Kai said playfully. As the hero of the realm, he couldn’t allow others to cut him any slack.
Once he began paying attention, he outsmarted all the knights on the jousting grounds, much to his delight. It was a good boost of confidence to overpower everyone like that.
“So, are you tired already?” he called.
“No, Your Majesty!” The knights shouted as one.
These guys needed to learn a bit about life-work balance.
“Well, I’m done here. You’re free for the day. But don’t forget about tomorrow. Dragons, caves, all that.”
He turned on his heels, ignoring the flabbergasted knights he was leaving behind. All this time, Conrad had stayed there, judging him with his eyes. As soon as Kai began to move, he was on his heels again.
“I hope you’re not getting any weird ideas,” Kai said as he threw a look back at Conrad. “I’m hungry, and I don’t know where Pepin is. I’m only supposed to eat his cooking.”
He was surprised when Conrad grabbed the reins of his horse and guiding them both in the opposite direction of the castle.
“What are you doing? You know very well that I can kick your ass.” Not that he wanted to do it, but Conrad was annoying.
Conrad said nothing until they were at a fair distance from the jousting ground and everyone’s earshot. He dismounted and then offered Kai his hand.
For a moment, Kai closed his eyes. I could ignore him and leave. But I suppose that will make me a coward, and Prince Sebastian appears to be the complete opposite of a coward. What can he do to me? I can just send him flying, like before.
He accepted Conrad’s hand and dismounted, too.
“Well?” he asked.
Conrad began to unbutton his coat, his eyes never leaving Kai.
Kai groaned. “What are you doing?”
Conrad threw his coat on the ground, offering Kai the unimpeded view of a strong perfect torso. “You were quite explicit in your requirements, Your Majesty,” he said through his teeth.
“I changed my mind,” Kai said with a forced grin.
Conrad seemed completely deaf as he continued to shed his clothes.
“Don’t,” Kai said and covered his eyes as Conrad pushed down his pants.
Maybe the guy was an exhibitionist. Kai didn’t uncover his eyes and put his free hand in front to make sure that Conrad wasn’t getting too close. “Stay away, I’m warning you. I can shoot ice from my eyes.”
“Then you must be keeping them covered for a reason,” Conrad said.
Kai walked back and grunted when his back hit a large tree. He uncovered his eyes only to find Conrad close. Really close.
“You said,” Conrad said slowly, “that you require satisfaction at least three times every day.”
Kai groaned. Prince Sebastian, you damned manwhore!
He was still debating how to deal with Conrad when the other glued himself to him and plastered his lips against his neck.
“Oh,” Kai barely managed. His eyelids began getting heavier. That wasn’t unpleasant at all. Conrad flicked his tongue around, making him shudder as pleasure shot through him head to toes. It was…
Kai pushed Conrad away. “All right. Okay. This isn’t working. Down, boy,” he ordered Conrad.
“I’m not a dog,” Conrad protested and looked at him with the same hurt eyes from before.
There was no way to please this guy. He got pushed away, he got mad. He got told he could leave, he took offense.
“Then why are you licking things you shouldn’t lick?”
“Do you want me to bite?”
Kai pinched the bridge of his nose. “No,” he said quietly. “I want you to stop licking and biting. And kissing.”
“Which means,” Conrad said in a pensive tone, “that there is only one thing left. You should have said so.”
Kai put his hands up to keep Conrad away. “Stay there. I’d hate to turn you into a popsicle, but you’re pushing it, man.”
“Pop… what?”
“You know.” Kai began to gesticulate. “A block of ice or something.”
Finally, Conrad stopped. “What did I do to displease you?”
“You just keep wanting to hump me,” Kai shot back. “I’m not in the mood.”
“Ah, you’re not in the mood,” Conrad said slowly like he was trying to understand what Kai meant by that.
“Don’t you find it embarrassing? At least a little?” Kai asked. “I mean, everybody knows that we – whatever. Isn’t this… thing something you don’t want?”
