"Do you mean to deprive me of my wits?" Shalan croaked at last

"No" But Phillipe liked having the seneschal naked, straining and quivering under his hands "Well, perhaps a little I want you to rehed helplessly "I shall"

Phillipe straightened, pausing for a moment to run a hand down the sinewy leanness of the seneschal’s thigh

"You will have ain," Shalan ainst Phillipe’s thigh, sinking his fangs into his flesh He took only aaway "Give me your sword now, Navarre Give it to me as hard as you can"

Phillipe flipped hiular hips between his big hands and pulling him up into the position to be penetrated The head of his cock, still slick from Shalan’s talented mouth, oozed the clear, silky fluid of his arousal Phillipe rubbed it up and down the crinkled ruck between Shalan’s tight buttocks,him with briefhis hips back and wriggling against hi with our blades"

Phillipe leaned down, kissing him slowly and deliberately before he murmured, "I do not care if they do"

The other lea else "I know you cannot give me your heart, Navarre Do not ive you e both want" Phillipe gripped his waist, steadying hi and pressed in

Phillipe sank into the tight, hot channel faster than he wished, but the sounds Shalan ripped his short, wide shaft, tugging on it as he slid the last inches of his own past the tightening ring of e as he hung, skewered and writhing, squeezing Phillipe from root to tip

"I have never felt…" Shalan lost the rest on a gasp as Phillipe pushed deep, buainst the sweet mound hidden inside Shalan’s body, the secret center of a ainst the back of the bench as he drew out and thrust back in, prodding the sae of his tip over it as he withdrew Shalan led sound "There There you are"

He rode Shalan hard, not sparing hirunts and cries of delight frohtened as he heard Shalan chant his naers as he jetted his seed But it was only when Shalan went limp under him that Phillipe closed his eyes and pu ass

He lifted hi hi position, and held hied their bodies and turned to put his ratitude

Phillipe lay staring at the vines that had grown across the gazebo’s ceiling, enjoying the lingering pleasure but unsettled by the encounter He had never thought to take a Kyn lover; the old stigmas made it unwise to advertise his preferences, and there were h mortal men who enjoyed other men in bed to keep Phillipe physically satisfied He did not deceive hi a relationship with Shalan; as the seneschal himself had pointed out they served masters on opposite sides of the world Even with their lords’ blessing, the logistics involved would havea Kyn lover waiting in his bed each dawn made Phillipe feel a little wistful His jealousy of Alexandra had been due in part to the fiery passion she and Cyprien shared, as well as the loving bond they formed that had since endured so much Who could not look upon Alex and Michael when they were together and not feel a little lonelier?

Phillipe pulled on his trousers, made his way back to his room, and collapsed on his bed He had nearly fallen asleep when he heard the door to Cyprien’s chamber open and close, and smelled his master’s scent Concerned, he rose, dressed, and followed it He found Cyprien in the suzerain’s library, sitting before the fire and sht you had retired for the day" Phillipe saw his expression and bowed "Forgive me I will leave you"

"Non, mon ami Sit with me"

Phillipe eased down into one of the suzerain’s oddly shaped chairs and waited, but Cyprien said nothing

"All is well, master?" he ventured at last

"I am faced with some uncomfortable truths" Cyprien told hiees, then took a final drag froarette and pitched it into the fire "This, at a ti but talk of war"

"There is always talk of war We have ed to avoid it these five hundred years" Phillipe leaned forward "You do not believe that we can this time?"

"When I meet with Richard and the others and tell them of what Alexandra has discovered? I think not" Cyprien aze "I went to war to show my father that I was a ed you into that horror, and I have never apologized to you for that I am sorry, old friend"

"I was not made to accompany you, master," Phillipe pointed out "I chose retted it"
