Kris was informed by Kara that she wanted to spend a couple weeks in Simon’s villa which meant Adam had to take her. Kris wanted to object but could not find a good argument. Adam and Simon came out of the study. Kris hadn’t known they were in there and glared at Adam. Simon noticed and laughed,
“Relax, Allen, we were just discussing some business opportunities. Unfortunately, Adam seems to want to keep you close at hand and dependant on him. I was trying to help you find a something little more respectable than working someone else’s lands.”
“I enjoy helping Adam.”
“That is good because he doesn’t seem open to much else.”
Kris suddenly became angry when he realized he was not even being included in conversations about his future. “If you were discussing my business opportunities, shouldn’t I be involved.”
“No, seems to me Adam feels perfectly comfortable making all the decisions regarding you. Isn’t that how your relationships been playing out so far?” Simon responded innocently.
Adam rolled his eyes, “Simon, stop stirring the pot. Kris, if Simon was offering anything even remotely reasonable I would have brought you in on the conversation.”
Kara put her arms around Adam and kissed him on the cheek. “Enough instigating between you all we have more important matters to discuss. You and I are going to town for a few weeks because I want to get away from your mother and enjoy some social activities.”
“Sorry, sweetheart, we are busy plowing the fields.”
“Kris can handle that. You don’t know anything about running an estate so you won’t be missed.”
“Actually, I need to be here to help Kris relax after a hard days work. Why don’t you take a maid and stay at my apartment. You can claim to be shopping and Simon can come visit you there. I can stay here and watch Phillip.”
“Even better. This is why I think you are the most amazing husband ever.” Kara kissed him on the lips. Adam kissed her back and added some tongue and whispered, “Isn’t this why you think I am amazing?”
Kara laughed, “No, because I know you are picturing Kris.” Adam just shrugged and came over to a gawking Kris. Adam went to put his arm around Kris but Kris moved back.
“Isn’t he cute when he gets jealous.” Adam kissed him on the head, “So Kris, are you up to playing mommy to Phillip? The good news is we have a wet nurse so we just have to entertain him.”
Kris loved how excited Adam always became around Phillip and how much he liked being a dad. Unfortunately, Kris felt some pangs that he would never know the same joy. Adam looked at Kris sensing his melancholy mood and kissed him gently and said low, “I want you to share this with me and maybe one day we can share one of yours.”
Kris was caught off guard by Adam’s perceptiveness of his envy but not sure what he meant by the last phrase. Kris smiled wistfully, “I think that ship sailed during my annulment.” He looked at Adam and saw sympathy reflected in his eyes.
Simon shook his head, “Nice Adam, rub it in by dangling a carrot he can never have. Kris, I thought I was masochistic but I have nothing on you. How long are you going to help Adam live your dreams? Ironic that he is the one that has ended up with a grand estate, a beautiful wife, an heir, and even an accommodating lover willing to sacrifice everything for a few crumbs.”
Adam exploded, “What the fuck are you doing? Why are you trying to wedge something between Kris and I? Are you paying me back because I won’t agree to let you use Kris? You promised he was mine and you would keep your hands off him. That includes business associates. Besides Kris, knows better than to listen to your lies.”
“Lies? I am just summing up the facts. You forget yourself, Adam. You still need my protection and so does Kris. So I suggest you let Kris decide what he is willing to do and you focus on helping Kris succeed.”
“No! I said I would handle the deal and I will. Kris, does not need to be involved. If you keep going down this path, I will start going down one you will not like.”
Simon grabbed Adam and threw him against the wall, “Are you actually overtly threatening me, Glambert. Are you insane?” They were staring at each other. Simon let go and punched the wall.
“You are pathetic, Adam. I would never have pinned your demise to a stupid obsession on a man with so little spirit. Oh that’s right, total control is such essential part of your relationships.” Simon seemed disgusted, “Whatever but if this deal goes sour, I will destroy your estate and you will be nothing.”
Kara spoke up, “Excuse me? Simon, you are talking about my home and my son’s future. You want to pitch a fit because Adam is head over heels fine but don’t threaten me too.”
Simon looked at Kara, “This is not the future I had in mind and I am not sure all our arrangements are working out for me.”
“They are not working out because you keep reneging on your promises to Adam. I forgave you for destroying my dreams of being your wife but I won’t forgive you for destroying Adam’s only chance for happiness. Get it through your thick skull that your power over him pales to his feelings for Kris. If you keep pushing you are going to end up losing all of us.”
“I am losing him anyway.” Simon responded in a deflated voice.
Adam laughed cruelly, “Here we go again. Are you going to profess your love again? This attempt at emotional blackmail will never work because we both know it was yours for the taking and you didn’t want it.”
Simon shrugged, “Your damn right I declined because you were emotionally retarded and incapable of loving anyone. I guess now that you are showing some capacity I may want in.”
“You’re a few years too late, my dear. The offer is no longer on the table besides what makes you think you are capable?”
Simon looked at Adam thoughtfully and then they both laughed, “I don’t know and we would kill each other anyway. Just keep your eye on the prize and make sure you do whatever it takes to obtain the exclusive trading rights to Pratsia because if Mauritia gets them we will both be kicked out of Lisantia.”
“I promise you I will succeed. So will you stop sabotaging my relationship with Kris?”
“Old habits die hard but I will make a token attempt.”
Adam just rolled his eyes and guided Kris out of the room and upstairs to their bedroom. Kris numbly followed wondering what exactly was discussed in his absence. Adam started kissing him as soon as he shut the bedroom door. He seemed very needy. Adam was kissing his neck and Kris gasped as Adam marked him. Kris was caught off guard as Adam suddenly grabbed him and threw him on the bed roughly. Kris looked at Adam nervously.
Adam quickly removed his own clothes, climbed on the bed and straddled Kris. He began ripping Kris’ shirt open and biting and sucking him down his chest. Kris was not used to Adam being this rough but he also did not want him looking to Simon to fill this dark need. Adam bit Kris nipple hard. Kris felt his eyes tear and cried out. Adam stopped,
“Are you OK?”
Kris nodded.
“Do you want me to stop?”
Kris shook his head. Kris had enough self awareness to loathe that part of himself that was willing to let Adam hurt him just to keep him. Adam started opening Kris’ pants, getting frustrated with the laces and finally just ripping them as well.
“I promise to buy you new clothes.” Adam kissed him passionately as he lowered his weight on Kris and used his knee to open Kris’ legs. Kris was tense hoping Adam did not enter him unprepared and unlubricated. Kris could feel Adam’s hardness as he pressed between Kris thighs and up against his balls.
Kris was trying to stop himself from tensing up but he did not trust Adam not to hurt him. Adam reached down between them and stroked Kris’ flaccid cock. Kris was hoping his body would respond in spite of his fear. Kris could tell Adam was getting frustrated with Kris’ lack of passion.
Kris became agitated, “Don’t worry about me. Take what you need.”
Adam looked at Kris, “I need you to want me. What is wrong? Am I being too rough?”
“You are fine. It is my problem, please I want you to continue. I can do this.” Kris pleaded.
Adam looked at Kris with disgust and suddenly rolled off him. Adam grabbed his trousers and quickly dressed. Kris just watched him unsure what to say. Adam just walked out and Kris just rolled over filling like he failed a major test. Kris was filled with self-loathing. He was angry at himself for not being able to satisfy Adam’s needs and even angrier that he had been willing to do anything to please him. Adam was right, he did know how to break people and make them needy. Kris just decided to sleep and hope he woke up less pathetic.

Kris woke up wondering if he was dreaming. He felt warm lips around his cock and someone gently running their hands along the inside of his thighs. Kris felt a slick finger enter him and gently stretch him. Kris became more alert and looked down at his lover intently sucking him off. Adam looked up and removed his lips from around Kris’ erect cock. Adam started kissing Kris up his stomach and chest, gently kissing his nipples.
“Is this better?”
Kris nodded, “I am sorry I am not good at what you like.” Kris voiced his fear, “I understand if you went to Simon.”
Adam ran his tongue down Kris neck, all the while preparing Kris with his fingers. Adam removed his fingers and position him self to enter Kris. Adam looked at Kris and held his gaze as he entered him. Kris saw the deep desire in Adam’s eyes which made him feel wanted. Kris pulled Adam into him and wrapped his legs around Adam’s waist. Their movement became more frantic and needy. Adam started stroking Kris and quickly brought him over the edge just before he released himself inside of Kris.
Afterwards Adam rolled off Kris and pulled Kris on top of him.
“You are amazing to be in. I am sorry I screwed up earlier. I know better.”
Kris was surprised by Adam’s statement. “It was me that messed up. I really want to meet your needs and I will try to relax more next time.”
Adam quirked and eyebrow, “You are funny, Kris. Look, I am the experienced one in this area and I should have made it clear that I wasn’t going to hurt you. I left you because I was mad at myself for losing control and acting out my frustration on you. I was worked up because I had been angry about Simon wanting you to entertain some men from Pratsia.”
“Are you going to entertain them?”
“I will make sure they are entertained. I doubt I am their type so I will find suitable company for them. I could not stomach the thought of someone else touching you. I know it is hypocritical but I can’t help it. I am insanely possessive of you. I will only make one exception to someone touching you and I will want to be there.”
Kris had no idea what Adam was talking about but in a crazy way liked hearing Adam’s declaration of jealousy. “So I cannot be with anyone else but you can continue being with Simon?”
“We need Simon on our side.”
“Did you go to Simon when you left me?”
“No, baby, I did not. I went in by Phillip and calmed myself down by watching him sleep. Then I came back and molested you.” Adam kissed him short on the lips. “No matter how dark my moods are or how strong my need to dominate is, I would never choose to be with anyone else when I could be with you. Besides, we will work on finding a happy medium since you seem to be so willing to cater to my desires.”
Adam bit Kris’ lower lip before kissing him deeply. Kris kissed Adam back with all the love he felt for the man that totally consumed his life now.

Simon and Kara left the next day and Leila was not happy. The first day consisted of Leila lecturing Adam on appearances. Adam responded by kissing Kris in front of all the servants which at least got Leila to disappear. Kris was busy sorting out which fields to plow and trying to teach both Neil and Adam. After a couple hours, Kris decided to focus on Neil since Adam seemed totally bored. Adam found an excuse to spend time with Phillip instead. Kris and Neil headed out and directed the workers on schedule for the next week.
Kris returned in the evening. Leila was in the salon and asked Kris to join her. Kris knew this would not be a fun conversation. Kris sat down and waited for Leila to set the tone.
“Kris, I am glad you are teaching Neil to run the estate. Adam would never have the attention span and Neil will be more stable. I am sorry if I make you uncomfortable but I am worried you two will end up getting hurt. The only reason no one has challenged your presence here is because of Simon. If Simon decides you are in his way and outwardly shows his disapproval, some of the people will move against you. Your mother is worried and so am I.”
“They don’t know I am with Adam.”
“Everyone knows you are with Adam. It is apparent when you two are together that you are close. Simon is a snake and he will never let Adam go. I heard about Adam standing up to Simon on your behalf and it worries me. I care about you but I am worried about my grandson. I think you should consider going away for a while. I am sorry, Kris.”
Leila walked out and Kris just felt numb. He wondered if she was right and Adam was pushing Simon too far. Kris once again felt like he was destroying more lives and that maybe he should follow Leila’s advice and disappear. Adam walked in the room smiling and holding Phillip. His smile faded as he looked at Kris.
“What’s wrong? You look like someone stole the last ale.” Adam sat down with Phillip on his leg, “You can come sit on my other leg and tell me your troubles. Then I can have both my babies on my lap.”
“I am not a baby. Besides its nothing. How is Phillip today.”
“Good but he is becoming a bit moody and showing a natural capacity to manipulate. If you won’t sit down on me then at least come sit next to me.”
“I need to record today’s work. I’ll only be a half hour and then we can have some dinner together.”
“OK, I will let the cook know so it is ready when you are done.”
Kris went in the study and drank a glass of brandy. He was distraught thinking that he and Adam would never find a permanent place in the world where they could be together. Every time He thought they were close something or someone always seemed to get in the way. Kris decided he would make the most of the week with Adam and then decide whether or not act on Leila’s advice.
