The Goblin King's Lovers (6 page)

Lorne blinked several times, but then
he smiled. “Then we will make plans. I didn’t know you had anyone
in mind. Who have you chosen?”

Davin laughed and shook his head. “I
love you so much, most especially at moments like this. Can’t you
guess?”

Lorne licked his lower lip, a nervous
look on his face. “Guess? I’m not sure why you think I would know.
So many have vied for your attention lately. You’ve spent a lot of
time with a few of them,” Lorne shrugged, “and I’ve been waiting
for you to talk to me about it, but you’ve said nothing about
favoring any of them. I was trying to give you space and
time.”

“
There was nothing to
discuss. I’ve known who it should be for a long time.”

“
Who?”

“
The woman we both love,
Eva.”

Lorne’s eyes darkened, yet Davin could
not tell what he was feeling. “I … you’ve never said you had
feelings for her.”

“
She is our dearest
friend. Did I have to say it?”

“
She’s your dearest
friend. I’m just an inevitable part of the package.”

“
Eva loves you!” Davin
protested, tightening his grasp on his lover’s hands.

Lorne lowered his eyes.
“Yes, she loves me. As a friend. As the one who protects the man
who holds her heart.” He met Davin’s gaze. “She’s
in love
with
you
.”

“
To love me is to love
you. You and I are already one.”

Lorne cleared his throat and gave
Davin a look that made him feel like a child again, if only for a
brief moment. “Has it ever occurred to you that Eva might not,
well, understand that? She bristles a bit when you kiss me, looks
uncomfortable. I don’t think she knows the depths of our
relationship.”

“
Then we’ll tell
her.”

Lorne sighed and pulled his hands from
Davin’s increasingly fierce grip, which he’d been unaware of until
Lorne tugged his fingers away. “Now, that sounds romantic. ‘Marry
me. Oh, and did you know you’ll have to sleep with someone else
too?’ She’ll be shocked.”

“
We’ll help her, as we
always have. You fell in love with her first, after all. She filled
your thoughts from the moment you saw Nika carrying her through the
streets. You ran for the doctor and waited all night to hear how
she was. You knew she was special the moment you saw
her.”

Lorne didn’t respond, gazing off at
the surface of the pond.

“
What are you thinking?”
Davin asked.

“
Are you doing this for
me, my prince?” he asked quietly.

“
Doing what?” Davin moved
closer, confused.

Lorne gazed into his eyes. “Did you
pick Eva because you know how I feel about her? I tried not to love
her, but my heart gave me little choice.”

Davin laughed. “Is that what worries
you?” He shook his head. “I adore her, and I’m as in love with her
as I am with you. She’s perfect for us. I know she’ll say yes, even
if she has to consider it for a while.”

Lorne did not look as certain, his
teeth worrying his lower lip as his eyes searched Davin’s. “I’m not
as confident as you are. They don’t do anything like this in the
human world. She could be jealous of me, or repulsed by the entire
idea. Or both.”

“
Why do you think she’ll
be hostile to you? Why are you convinced you’re the one she won’t
want?”

“
Davin, anyone could see
that she loves you. We’re friends now, but her feelings for me
aren’t the same.”

Davin wanted to refute those claims,
but even he didn’t know what was in Eva’s heart. Not yet. Had he
deluded himself into believing she would say yes simply because
they were so close?

“
You know I’m right,”
Lorne said.

“
We’ll talk to her. Tell
her we both love her, both want her.” Davin took Lorne’s hands in
his again. “And for once, you have to make it clear how you feel.
You only do that with me. You don’t open up completely with her,
even when the three of us are alone together and enjoying
ourselves. You keep her at a distance.”

Lorne yanked his hands away, actually
looking angry. “Because I didn’t know you cared for her! I thought
you only saw her as a friend. You never react in kind to the
hundreds of things she does to show her affection. You treat her
like a sister. A much-loved sister, yes, but a sister
nonetheless.”

“
I was trying be honorable
and act properly. Did you expect me to grope her each time she
smiled at me?” Davin pushed off the bench and stalked away,
stopping a few feet from Lorne.

A full minute passed before Lorne
broke the silence. “We must be in love,” Lorne said. “We’ve been
watching each other quite closely. And now we’re judging each other
and losing our tempers.” Lorne let out a heavy sigh. “I’m happy but
unsure.”

“
You won’t be alone.”
Davin pulled a leaf off the tree in front of him, turning it in his
fingers. “I’m sure she’ll say yes.”

“
But perhaps not right
away. Be prepared for that.”

Davin looked back over his shoulder
and let the leaf slip from his fingers. “Then there is no time to
lose. Tomorrow we shall tell her and see what happens.” He moved
back to Lorne and knelt at his feet, resting his hands on Lorne’s
thighs. “Please, Lorne.”

Lorne jumped to his feet and pulled
Davin up. “Don’t do that. You know you never have to
beg.”

Davin put his arms around Lorne’s
neck. “I might have to tonight though. There’s something else I
want. Something you’ve been keeping from me.”

“
What?” Lorne asked,
confusion and concern mixing on his face.

“
Tomorrow, we plan on
telling Eva that we’re lovers. Yet we’ve never really consummated
it. We touch,” he said, caressing Lorne’s long, dark hair, “and
there is much pleasure,” he pressed his lips to Lorne’s ear, “and
your mouth has been on every inch of my body,” he pulled back, “but
we’ve never made love.”

Lorne’s gaze burned now as it swept
over Davin’s face. “Is my prince saying he wants to fuck me?” he
whispered, his voice husky.

Davin shook his head slowly. “I want
you to take me,” he said against Lorne’s lips.

The brush of lips became a kiss, and
Davin could feel the change in Lorne. His yabito backed him up
against the stone wall to the left of them and kissed him
thoroughly. Their bodies flush against each other, Davin could feel
Lorne’s hard cock rub his thigh. He had stroked and sucked that
cock many times, but Davin needed more. He longed to feel Lorne
inside of him.

Lorne panted when they drew apart.
“You don’t wish to wait until she can be with us?”

“
No. I can’t wait another
night. I’ll be of age tomorrow,” he said. He kissed Lorne’s neck
and pressed his face there, clinging to him. “We’ve waited longer
than most men before us. I want it.”

Lorne pulled back and looked into his
face. “Want what? Tell me, my prince.”

Davin trembled. Lorne always did this,
made him say exactly what he wanted in explicit detail. It excited
Lorne, Davin could tell, and he got a thrill from saying the blunt
words as well. “I want you to make love to me. I want your cock
inside of me. Take me until I come. Use me until you spill and fill
my ass the way you’ve filled my mouth so many times.”

A moan escaping him, Lorne smiled and
arched against Davin. “I’ll be gentle, love.” He feathered kisses
over Davin’s face.

“
Don’t want gentle. Want
to feel you.” Davin pushed them away from the wall. “Come on.” He
tugged at Lorne, hurrying into the palace and up to his
chambers.

* * * *

Lorne hardly noticed the people and
things they passed as they moved. He didn’t really come back to
himself until they were in Davin’s room, tearing at each other’s
clothes. Davin pulled his boots off and threw them down before
pushing Lorne’s doublet off his shoulders. Lorne became even more
enflamed when Davin ripped his shirt in half in his eagerness,
kissing Lorne’s chest and then pausing when he saw what he’d done.
Lorne shrugged it off, loving the hint of embarrassment he saw in
his prince’s eyes.

“
Don’t look like that,”
Lorne said, as he drew Davin’s shirt over his head. He caressed the
planes of Davin’s chest and stomach as he knelt and unlaced his
breeches. “I’ve wanted you for years. I’ve dreamed of this moment
since our first kiss.” He freed Davin’s cock and suckled the head,
the taste of the pre-cum making him sigh.

“
Mmmm. Should have
demanded this sooner,” Davin said as he tried to force his breeches
down.

Lorne tugged them down and helped
Davin step out of them as he licked and teased his cock. “You’re
worth waiting for. The desire had to be yours.”

Davin fell back on the bed and drew
Lorne to him. “Naked. Now.”

Lorne nodded, as if he was
acknowledging a royal command, and Davin groaned. Lorne chuckled as
he stood and yanked his boots off. He broke a lace as he became
impatient with his breeches. Davin lay on the bed with his legs
spread, his hand fondling his cock and balls. One finger kept
straying to his hole. Lorne licked his lips as he kicked the
troublesome garment away. His tongue had filled that sweet passage
many times, and now his cock would finally feel that same
sweetness.

Davin drew up and took Lorne by the
hips, sucking his cock deep right away and making Lorne gasp.
Davin’s tongue teased him, and Lorne held his head to fuck his
mouth briefly. The soft moans of pleasure from Davin drove him
wild, and he knew he had to hold back for now. As he pulled back,
Davin’s mouth still pursued him, licking and trying to recapture
him.

“
Can’t wait to see you
pleasure her with your mouth,” Lorne said, pushing Davin onto the
bed and straddling him, stealing light kisses from his soft lips,
“that sweet, talented mouth.”

“
You’ll have to teach me.
I want to please her,” Davin said, running his hands into Lorne’s
hair and nipping at his neck.

“
We’ll learn and explore
together.” Lorne caressed Davin and then worked down his body
slowly, letting his mouth linger on his prince’s most sensitive
spots. “As we learned with each other. Instinct.” He gazed up at
Davin. “Every touch has been perfect. We wanted each other, and no
one had to tell us what to do.”

Davin smiled, a soft,
sensual laugh escaping his lips. “But I loved it when
you
told me what to
do.”

Lorne smiled back. “Spread yourself
for me,” he whispered.

Davin obeyed, lifting his legs to his
chest. Lorne toyed with him at first, mouthing his balls and
lightly licking his cock, which now wept with need. He massaged
Davin’s hole with one finger, but he did not penetrate. Soon Davin
wiggled impatiently, and Lorne slapped one cheek to still him.
Davin sighed and buried his head against a pillow as Lorne rose and
took up a tin of salve. The scent of roses filled the room as he
slicked one finger and further teased his prince. He worked into
Davin slowly. Watching Davin’s changing expressions made him ache,
but he didn’t want to take Davin until that same ache filled him.
It took him ten minutes to prepare Davin, and he could see his love
ready to explode. Lorne had stretched Davin thoroughly, and he now
had three fingers in the prince’s ass. He withdrew and inserted
just one, thrumming against Davin’s gland, the one that gave so
much pleasure.

“
Lorne, please,” Davin
begged.

Lorne rubbed the remnants of the salve
on his cock and moved into position. He spread Davin with two
fingers and pushed into him. He kissed Davin’s neck as he passed
the tight ring of muscle, which he’d loosened well. Davin stiffened
a bit and wrapped his arms and legs around Lorne. His fingers dug
into Lorne’s back. Lorne leaned down and kissed him more, moving to
his lips.

Looking down into Davin’s eyes, he
said, “Now, my prince, we’re truly one. We’ll win our lady together
and bring her this kind of joy.”

Davin arched under him. “Making
romantic declarations,” he arched again, taking more of Lorne’s
shaft, “when you should be fucking me.”

Lorne sank in to the hilt, sighing
while Davin gasped. Lorne laughed and gently bit his neck. Many
teasing words danced in his head, but the time for talking was
over. Lorne moved in and out of Davin slowly, careful not to pull
out of him completely. He tried to angle himself to strike against
Davin’s gland. Feeling Davin flex around him drove him half mad.
The heat and the feel of their bodies connecting was almost too
much. Lorne had discreetly discussed lovemaking with Timon, one of
their former tutors, and now he tried to do all he could to please
Davin. Varying his rhythm seemed to stoke Davin’s need more. Davin
touched him everywhere and constantly moved beneath him.

The way Davin moved inspired him, and
he pulled the prince’s legs off him and rolled to his back, taking
Davin with him. The prince gasped, but then he lowered himself to
kiss Lorne with renewed hunger.

“
Ride me,” Lorne said.
“Teach me.”

Davin straightened and sat back,
Lorne’s cock slipping deeper. Lorne held Davin’s hips and steadied
him, while Davin braced himself against Lorne’s knees, which were
now bent and spread wide. He reached one hand down to caress Lorne
and then grasp his cock. Davin jerked his shaft as he gazed into
Lorne’s eyes and slowly rode him.
