I stop his rambling with a kiss, a soft one meant to let him know how special he is to me already. I know we just started whatever this is, but I think he could really be something to me. And I think I could be something to him…

“Why do you think I’ve been calling you my prince, Abdiel?” I whisper over his mouth, eyes opening gradually to watch his lips quiver. “I told you last night, it’s no coincidence that you’re here with me. Nothing happens by accident.”

“So then,” he starts, opening his eyes to pin me with a firm look, “All the more reason for you to be honest with the Regnum. If that’s really what you want…” He swallows visibly. “This.”

I can’t stop the doubt slinking around inside me. I don’t want it to be there, but it is. For all the successes we share in The Principality, half the time I still feel like that same lost boy… struggling to find himself in the woods.

“They’ll be disappointed, Abdiel. I’ve wasted so much of so many people’s time.” My jaw clenches. His fingers comb through my hair, and I let my eyelids fall for a moment, savoring the feeling of someone being here for me.

I hadn’t noticed how much I’ve needed this. I lost it a while ago with Drake, and I’ve been letting it devastate me for so long. Because outside of him, I have no one. No one who knows the real me, who can help carry this burden.

I would love to help, my King.

My eyes fling open, locking on his irises of endless green.You are a true blessing, my beautiful prince.

I lean in to kiss him again, but he pulls away. “Can I freshen up?”

I can’t help but grin. “Bathroom’s over there.” I nod my head in its direction, and Abdiel plants a quick peck on my chin before scrambling out of bed. Chuckling, I roll onto my back, watching him strut, naked and unashamed, toward the bathroom. His innocence is something I truly adore, but I can’t ignore how amazing it is to watch his confidence grow.

He goes into the bathroom and closes the door. Then after about a minute, he reemerges, peeking at me from across the room. “Toothbrush?”

Biting my lip, I scoot out of bed, striding toward him, loving the appreciation in his eyes as he watches me. In the bathroom, I pull out a spare toothbrush from the vanity, handing it to him with a wink. He looks excited as I pick up my own toothbrush, squeezing on some toothpaste before handing the tube to him to do the same.

We brush side by side, stealing glances at one another every few seconds like we’re doing a sort of erotic dance, or some version of foreplay. Really, I just like that I can hear him, and he can hear me. It feels like with Drake, only easier, which is what I’ve always dreamt of having. Arelationship.

Someone to love… openly.

I spit and rinse, shifting to face Abdiel while leaning up on the counter. “You wanted to brush your teeth so we can make out, didn’t you?”

He does the same, facing me and crossing his arms over his chest. We’re both still fully naked, and I love it all too much. His body is perfection.

“What would make you think that?”

“Um, your thoughts, young prince.” I grab him by the waist, pulling him in closer, our dicks touching as we both shiver. “You’re new to Empyrean, so you’re practically screaming at me.”

He laughs, palms on my chest. “I’m sorry… how else am I supposed to think?”

“I’m not complaining. I like it.” My mouth inches over his. “I like hearing how badly you want me.”

“Mmm… I do want you. So bad.” His minty breath warms my lips.

“The feeling is mutual, baby.”

I kiss him harder this time, pushing my tongue into his mouth while his twirls around mine and we suck at each other like ravenous animals. I lift him up onto the counter and wedge myself between his legs, nearly dying over those blushed cheeks and the little gasps that flee him when he’s turned on and needy, forme.

With my hands drifting down his abs, then his pelvis, I slowly cherish the feel of his hard planes and soft skin, reaching his erection, full and thick, stretching up to his navel.

“I thought…” he whimpers in between us mauling each other. “Last night, I thought we would…”

“Fuck?” I growl into his mouth, and he purrs, his dick jumping in my hand. My fist moves up and down it in leisurely strokes, yanking him closer to me so I can push my hips forward and jerk our cocks together.

“Yes…” He mewls, strong hands gripping my shoulders, caressing the flesh of my chest and my back… down to my ass. “I want to fuck you.” This time I whimper. “Or I want you to fuck me, whatever you want. I don’t even care, I just need it.”

“Ilovegetting fucked, Abdiel,” I tell him, and he groans, head falling forward to rest on my shoulder while I grind us together like it’s my job. “Having a cock deep inside me is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, and Idesperatelywant yours.” I pull his face back to mine so I can look into his eyes. “I want you inside me, my prince.”

Abdiel becomes frantic, kissing me wild, hands everywhere, breathing unsteady. Pulling off my mouth, he pleads, “Let’s do it now.”

I chuckle, swooning over his ardor. “It should be special, baby. It’s your virginity. And plus, I’m sure you’ll want to try getting fucked also… to see if you like it.”
