Fic: The Servant (16/?)
Kris and the Prince headed out with only a handful of warriors to act as body guards. Kris did not see Charles or Andrew before they departed but Adam had assured him they would be fine. Since the wind was strong, Prince Adam had Kris sit behind him on the saddle. As they rode further north, the temperature seemed to drop even lower. Kris had no idea the world could even get that cold.
“Are you OK, Kris? There should be some caves coming up. We will stop and rest. I fear a storm is coming which is why the wind is so bad. Press against me more and try not to freeze to death.”
Kris pressed closer and wrapped his hands further around the Prince’s waist. He could feel the Prince’s body warming up. Curious if that meant the Prince was getting excited, Kris let his hand drop lower and felt a semi-hard cock. It became even stiffer once Kris’ hand made contact.
“Mm…that is one way to heat us up. You have my full permission to touch me anyway you like.”
Kris decided to take the Prince up on his suggestion. He stroked the Prince’s length a few times and then decided to explore his balls. Kris could feel the Prince trembling with desire. Prince Adam let out a frustrated moan, “Kamea, you are killing me. As soon as we get to the caves, we are setting up our sleeping area and fucking.”
Kris frowned, “You are fucking, I am only allowed to get fucked.”
The Prince laughed, “Kamea, are you still crying about that?”
“No, I am just sad that I don’t get to experience it with you. I have never been in anyone before and I would have liked it to be you.” Kris ran his hand over Adam’s length, “Don’t you want to be my first, your highness?”
“Stop trying to manipulate me, Kamea. For the record, I was your first but…I do like the idea of being your first everything so…I’ll consider it.”
Although it wasn’t a yes, at least it wasn’t an outright no this time. Even if the Prince was lying, at least he was going to the trouble of humoring him. A few moments later they came upon the caves. Everyone dismounted and were rushing about to set up camp. Prince Adam told Kris to set up their skins toward the front of the cave because the horses would be placed in the back. Kris did as he was instructed. Prince Adam spoke to the men in the low dialect so Kris could not understand any of it. A fire was built at the mouth of the cave and some dried meat and sweet bread were distributed. Prince Adam pulled Kris by his horse and was showing him how to care for the animal. Kris took over while the Prince went by his men.
Once the animals had been taken care of Prince Adam spoke some more to his men and then pulled Kris toward their shelter. Prince Adam stripped down and climbed into the skins. Kris quickly undressed and followed suit. As soon as he settled in, the Prince began kissing him. Pushing aside any residual anger he felt, Kris returned his kisses and hoped the Prince stayed silent.
“Kamea, you have me so worked up. I am lucky I even saw these caves since my mind was picturing you the whole ride.”
Kris decided it was now or never. Kris aggressively turned the Prince onto his back and kissed him passionately, “Did you picture me fucking you, my Prince?”
Prince Adam laughed and flipped them so he was back on top, “Actually, no.”
Kris felt disappointed and just looked away. Prince Adam noticed, “Kris?”
Kris looked back at Adam feeling dejected, “Go ahead and just take what you want.”
“Don’t do that, don’t just give in. If you want to fuck me, you have to try harder.”
Kris looked at the Prince, “Ad-your highness-“
“You better stick to Adam right now since servants don’t fuck Princes.”
Kris laughed, “So you are going to pretend I am not your servant, Adam?”
“Actually, I was just going to pretend I wasn’t a Prince. Now, do you want to quibble about semantics or fulfill your fantasy?”
Kris decided not to answer in words since he tended to say the wrong thing. Instead, he kissed Adam and ran his hands over his ass. He wasn’t exactly sure what to do and briefly wondered if this was an even bigger sin than letting the Prince have him. Kris was pretty sure it was but was too turned on to care. Kris flipped them again with not too much effort.
Prince Adam began stroking Kris. Unfortunately Kris was too hard to show any restraint and came. Kris was angry, “I wanted to fuck you. Why did you do that?”
“Relax, Kamea, I did that so you would last more than one thrust. Besides, it is going to take some time to get me ready so I am not overly sore.”
Kris relaxed, “You are really going to let me have you?”
“Mm…I am still considering.”
“Is it your first time letting a man do this?”
“No, but there have not been many and it has been a really long time.”
“How many men have you let have you?”
“Kamea! Shut up already. If you ask one more fucking question I am definitely not going to let you do this.”
“OK, Adam.”
The Prince grabbed Kris hand and put some oil on his fingers. He guided his hand to his entrance. “Start easy and use a lot of oil.”
Kris ran his fingers around the Prince’s entrance and then slowly pushed one finger in. The Prince’s body felt hot and tight. Kris was nervous about screwing up. He wasn’t sure how to make it feel good but tried to watch Adam for clues. Kris worked his finger all the way in and could feel the Prince relaxing. Prince Adam looked as beautiful as ever but he also seemed vulnerable. His big blue eyes showed he was a little nervous and that made Kris love him all the more. Kris continued to work his finger in and out while running his tongue down Adam’s chest.
Adam moaned, “Add another finger.”
Kris complied and was surprised how easy the second digit went in. Kris was able to get a little deeper and must have hit the magic spot. Adam bucked his hips and pushed down deeper into Kris fingers. Kris felt his own cock harden in anticipation. Kris remembered some of the motions Adam made when he was prepping him and began to scissor his fingers.
Adam liked that and let him know by moaning and wantonly raising his legs to give Kris more access. Kris loved how uninhibited Adam was with sex and how much he gave of himself. Kris loved having his fingers inside him and could not wait to really be in him. “Are you almost ready, Adam? I am hard again.”
“Ok, my little eager beaver, go slow and stop if I tell you to.”
Kris nodded. Adam grabbed the oil and put more on Kris’ cock. Kris began to panic that he would screw up. Adam smiled, “Relax, Kamea, and just press in slow. You are doing fine.”
Kris smiled and began to press in. Adam was still really tight. “I don’t want to hurt you. Actually, this is hurting me.”
Prince Adam laughed and then groaned, “Change up the angle so you can get all the way in without breaking anything.”
Kris maneuvered and felt Adam’s body give. He went all the way in. Kris could not believe the heat and pressure engulfing his cock. He looked into Adam’s eyes, “You feel perfect.”
Adam laughed and kissed him, “Ok, now start moving a little.”
Kris began thrusting slowly and it felt incredible. It was different than when Adam had entered him. He felt in control and in charge. He also felt a different kind of intimacy and trust from Adam. As he began to move he felt Adam’s arms tighten around him and pull him deeper.
“Oh Kris…right there…yes…keep going.” Kris felt encouraged and began thrusting harder and faster, “Adam, you feel…amazing. Am I hurting you?”
“Yeah, but don’t stop.” Adam began stroking himself which turned Kris on more. It was so taboo in his culture that it was hot. Kris felt Adam tense and then heat poured onto his stomach. Adam’s whole body tighten with his orgasm. The additional pressure around Kris’ cock was too much. Kris came with a loud moan.
Adam laughed, “Good thing the wind is howling.”
Kris looked at Adam and kissed him, “Thank you. That was incredible. I really like that.”
Prince Adam laughed again, “Well, don’t get too excited because I prefer it the other way. Now, go get us something to clean up.”
Kris did not want to go in the cold. Adam pushed him, “Kamea, I am not sleeping in soiled skins.”
Kris got up and quickly grabbed the first piece of cloth he saw and used it to wipe himself and then Adam. Adam looked down and hit Kris in the back of the head. “Thanks, that was my fabric.”
Kris giggled, “Sorry it was dark.”
Kris was shivering and moved close to Adam. The Prince wrapped his arms around Kris and pulled him closer. Kris relaxed in Adam’s arms and fell right to sleep.
Adam woke Kris up a few hours later. He was kissing Kris’ neck, “Kamea we have to get up soon.” Kris felt Adam’s oily fingers near his entrance. Kris became instantly hard. Prince Adam laughed, “It’ my turn.”
Kris kissed Adam and pulled him on top, “My pleasure, your highness.”
Adam quickly prepped him and then entered him. Kris decided sex with Adam was totally worth the eternity he was going to spend in hell. He just hoped he got a lifetime of lovemaking before his eternal damnation. They both climaxed together.
“With a start like this, it has to be a good day. Kris, you are without a doubt the best servant I ever had.”
“Just remember that the next time I screw up.”
Kris heard the other warriors moving about. They got up. Prince Adam gave Kris a wet rag to clean up. Kris really missed the mild temperatures and warmed water from home. Hopefully, Adam’s home wasn’t too far.
“Will we make your home today?”
“No but we may make the border of my family’s lands. There is a lot of snow from the storm last night so we may not be able to actually make my home for a few days. I want to show you something along the way.”
“What are you going to show me?”
“It is a surprise.”
“A good surprise or bad surprise?”
“Depends on you. I think it is a good surprise but you are weird, Kamea, so who knows.”
Kris decided not to bite, “Whatever, your highness. How are you feeling today? Sore?”
Prince Adam frowned, “Kamea, what we did went against every Agbekian custom we have. Do not speak of it and it is not going to happen again.”
Kris frowned, “Well, everything we do goes against my customs and you have damned my soul to hell. So forgive me if I don’t distinguish between acts as particularly as you do. Since I already did the unthinkable by inquiring about your health, I may as well just tell you I thought it was amazing and I never imagined feeling so much as I do when I am with you.”
Although Prince Adam frowned, the anger did not reach his eyes. In fact, Kris’ words made Adam’s eyes light up even more than usual, “Just come on, we have to start traveling. The winds have lessened so you can ride in front of me. The areas we will travel over are beautiful and I want you to see it all.”
Kris climbed on the horse and Adam followed. Kris leaned back against the Prince. Adam adjusted the skins so that Kris was cocooned against him. They rode for about three hours before reaching a small cluster of round stone houses.
“This is the beginning of my lands. We will stop to eat.”
They dismounted and were greeted by a couple families. They seemed to be very excited to see the Prince. Since they all spoke the low dialect, Kris had no idea what they were saying. Still, they brought them plenty of some kind of porridge and a very delicious hot drink. In return the Prince gave them some furs and some pouches of something or other that pleased everyone.
Prince Adam spoke to his men and gave them each a pouch before turning to Kris, “We are safe enough on my lands to travel alone. You and I will part ways with them and I will take you to my surprise.”
Kris climbed back on the horse and they rode for another three hours. Kris was a little sore on the horse and could tell the Prince was stiff too which made Kris smile. They arrived in an odd area where the snow seemed to disappear and there were some trees and green bushes. Adam stopped the horse and helped Kris dismount.
“Is this place enchanted?”
Adam laughed, “Maybe. According to legend, this place is supposed to be blessed by the Goddess. Well, this is where the Godess comes down to make love to mortals. It is believed her passion keeps the water here hot. There are a couple pools of water that are eternally heated. Come on.”
The area was beautiful. It was like an oasis in a white desert. Adam led them behind some huge boulders and Kris saw three large pools of water with steam rising. He also noticed the ground seemed to be warm.
Adam smiled grandly, “Isn’t this amazing? We can take a warm bath and swim.”
Kris frowned, “How do you know it isn’t heated by the fires of hell?”
“Simple, I don’t believe in hell. I knew you were going to be weird. Kris, don’t you want to get in this water. It is going to feel amazing and make you feel great.”
Kris still couldn’t swim and was scared the area was cursed. He shook his head, “Please, your highness, you know my people can’t swim and it is forbidden to immerse into water like this.”
“Like you said you are already damned. Come on, Kamea, I promise I will keep you safe.”
Prince Adam removed all his clothes and slowly went in the water, “Kamea, this pool is shallow at the edge. You can stand and breathe without swimming.”
Kris reluctantly stripped and fearfully entered the water. It felt good to be warm. Kris could feel the tension leaving his body. Adam had moved into the deeper areas and was swimming around. He came over by Kris. Kris became nervous, “Don’t pull me in the deep area.”
“Kamea, you should learn to swim. I can teach you. Then you don’t have to be scared of the water and you won’t drown on account of your clumsiness.”
Kris rolled his eyes, “I am not clumsy unless I have Barbarians pushing me into the water.”
“Come on, Kris, let me teach you to swim. Don’t you trust me?”
Kris trusted Adam too much which was why he was following him straight to hell. Well, it was true he was damned already, “Ok but be patient.”
Surprisingly, Adam was really gentle and patient. Kris liked seeing this side of Adam. It reminded him of his mother. She had unlimited patience while he was growing up and would spend hours teaching him and his brother. Now that Adam was not immortal, Kris wondered how Adam had known his mother. After the lesson they laid next to each other at the edge of the pool.
“Adam, how did you know my mother?”
Adam frowned, “Kris, it was a long time ago and I don’t want to talk about it. Your mother betrayed my whole family and ran away. Like you, she seemed really sweet and loyal but she wasn’t.”
Kris looked at Adam, “Was she your servant?”
“She was my mother’s servant and she was my…Ama. My mother is the Queen and had a lot of responsibilities so your mother was assigned to me.”
Kris wasn’t really understanding, “She was your babysitter?”
Adam seemed to be getting annoyed, “Something like that. She watched me, took care of me and slept with me.”
Kris froze, “What?”
Adam rolled his eyes, “Kris, in case you haven’t noticed, Agbekians rarely sleep alone. It is cold and it is considered dangerous to sleep alone. Children usually sleep with their parents and then their siblings. So I slept with my Ama and then Neil. When I moved to the King’s house I slept with Madu.”
“Like we sleep together? With sex?”
Adam pushed him, “No, Kris, I did not have sex with your mother nor with my brother Neil. Anyway, one day she just abandoned me without even saying goodbye. There is nothing worse than an ungrateful servant that abandons their master. It is the worst crime a servant can do.”
Kris noticed he did not deny being with Madu but said nothing. Instead Kris decided to point out simple fact, “Really? I’d think killing their master would be the worst or raping their master’s daughter might be a higher crime.”
“Shut up. Look, it is bad OK. Stop goading me. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. Kamea, when we go to my Mother’s, you cannot treat me with disrespect. I am the Prince and you are just a servant. If you embarrass me, I will have to punish you. As annoying as you are, I don’t want to beat you so please be careful.”
Kris didn’t want to ruin their time together so relented, “I’ll do my best, Adam.”
“Smart-ass. Come on let’s finish teaching you to swim. Let’s see if you can swim across the whole pool.”
“What do I get if I do?”
“Mm…what do you want?”
Kris smiled, “Another chance to be in you”
The Prince frowned, “Don’t you like me being in you?”
“I like both but I don’t have to barter to get you to fuck me.”
The Prince laughed, “You know for someone raised against being with men, you certainly are taking to it with a quite a fervor.”
“I feel bad about it but I’d feel worse not being with you. In my culture, there is a legend that seems to fit you. You are like a snake in paradise that gives the innocent forbidden fruit. Before you I was ignorant of sex and now I can’t pretend I don’t like it.”
Adam laughed, “I know that tale and I resent being called a demon again. But, good for me that you gave in to temptation.” The Prince kissed Kris deeply and then became serious, “I really like making love to you too. Even if you weren’t my servant, I’d try and be with you. Just so you know, the sex between men isn’t always as good as it is between us. In another words, replacing me is a bad idea.”
“So is giving me away.”
Prince Adam nodded, “I won’t ever give you away. If circumstances occur that I cannot keep you, than I give you my word I will free you. It almost killed me to give you to Madu, I won’t do that again.”
Kris was surprised by Prince Adam’s proclamation, “Thank you, your highness, I could not serve another.”
Prince Adam nodded before ravaging Kris. Along with passion, there seemed to be an air of desperation. Kris allowed the Prince carte blanche and let him take what he needed. Afterward Kris laid in Adam’s arms exhausted, “Ok, there is no way I can swim now.”
“Mm…well, than we will have to stay one more night so you can rest and before your big challenge.”
“Do I get my prize if I succeed?”
Prince Adam laughed, “Since we are only three hours from my mother’s house, ok but that really is the last time, Kamea.”
Kris laughed knowing Adam was bluffing. Adam shrugged and just went to sleep. The heat from the pools allowed them to lay comfortably without being cocooned in skins. Instead Kris, laid against Adam with just a think fabric. It was a full moon so he could see Adam very well. He was so beautiful and innocent looking. Kris hoped he never had to give him up. Hopefully, the Queen would not hate him and send him away. Kris also prayed he wouldn’t make any major faux pas but that was just wishful thinking.
“Are you OK, Kris? There should be some caves coming up. We will stop and rest. I fear a storm is coming which is why the wind is so bad. Press against me more and try not to freeze to death.”
Kris pressed closer and wrapped his hands further around the Prince’s waist. He could feel the Prince’s body warming up. Curious if that meant the Prince was getting excited, Kris let his hand drop lower and felt a semi-hard cock. It became even stiffer once Kris’ hand made contact.
“Mm…that is one way to heat us up. You have my full permission to touch me anyway you like.”
Kris decided to take the Prince up on his suggestion. He stroked the Prince’s length a few times and then decided to explore his balls. Kris could feel the Prince trembling with desire. Prince Adam let out a frustrated moan, “Kamea, you are killing me. As soon as we get to the caves, we are setting up our sleeping area and fucking.”
Kris frowned, “You are fucking, I am only allowed to get fucked.”
The Prince laughed, “Kamea, are you still crying about that?”
“No, I am just sad that I don’t get to experience it with you. I have never been in anyone before and I would have liked it to be you.” Kris ran his hand over Adam’s length, “Don’t you want to be my first, your highness?”
“Stop trying to manipulate me, Kamea. For the record, I was your first but…I do like the idea of being your first everything so…I’ll consider it.”

Adam rolled his eyes, “Kris, in case you haven’t noticed, Agbekians rarely sleep alone. It is cold and it is considered dangerous to sleep alone. Children usually sleep with their parents and then their siblings. So I slept with my Ama and then Neil. When I moved to the King’s house I slept with Madu.”
“Like we sleep together? With sex?”
Adam pushed him, “No, Kris, I did not have sex with your mother nor with my brother Neil. Anyway, one day she just abandoned me without even saying goodbye. There is nothing worse than an ungrateful servant that abandons their master. It is the worst crime a servant can do.”
Kris noticed he did not deny being with Madu but said nothing. Instead Kris decided to point out simple fact, “Really? I’d think killing their master would be the worst or raping their master’s daughter might be a higher crime.”
“Shut up. Look, it is bad OK. Stop goading me. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. Kamea, when we go to my Mother’s, you cannot treat me with disrespect. I am the Prince and you are just a servant. If you embarrass me, I will have to punish you. As annoying as you are, I don’t want to beat you so please be careful.”
Kris didn’t want to ruin their time together so relented, “I’ll do my best, Adam.”
“Smart-ass. Come on let’s finish teaching you to swim. Let’s see if you can swim across the whole pool.”
“What do I get if I do?”
“Mm…what do you want?”
Kris smiled, “Another chance to be in you”
The Prince frowned, “Don’t you like me being in you?”
“I like both but I don’t have to barter to get you to fuck me.”
The Prince laughed, “You know for someone raised against being with men, you certainly are taking to it with a quite a fervor.”
“I feel bad about it but I’d feel worse not being with you. In my culture, there is a legend that seems to fit you. You are like a snake in paradise that gives the innocent forbidden fruit. Before you I was ignorant of sex and now I can’t pretend I don’t like it.”
Adam laughed, “I know that tale and I resent being called a demon again. But, good for me that you gave in to temptation.” The Prince kissed Kris deeply and then became serious, “I really like making love to you too. Even if you weren’t my servant, I’d try and be with you. Just so you know, the sex between men isn’t always as good as it is between us. In another words, replacing me is a bad idea.”
“So is giving me away.”
Prince Adam nodded, “I won’t ever give you away. If circumstances occur that I cannot keep you, than I give you my word I will free you. It almost killed me to give you to Madu, I won’t do that again.”
Kris was surprised by Prince Adam’s proclamation, “Thank you, your highness, I could not serve another.”
Prince Adam nodded before ravaging Kris. Along with passion, there seemed to be an air of desperation. Kris allowed the Prince carte blanche and let him take what he needed. Afterward Kris laid in Adam’s arms exhausted, “Ok, there is no way I can swim now.”
“Mm…well, than we will have to stay one more night so you can rest and before your big challenge.”
“Do I get my prize if I succeed?”
Prince Adam laughed, “Since we are only three hours from my mother’s house, ok but that really is the last time, Kamea.”
Kris laughed knowing Adam was bluffing. Adam shrugged and just went to sleep. The heat from the pools allowed them to lay comfortably without being cocooned in skins. Instead Kris, laid against Adam with just a think fabric. It was a full moon so he could see Adam very well. He was so beautiful and innocent looking. Kris hoped he never had to give him up. Hopefully, the Queen would not hate him and send him away. Kris also prayed he wouldn’t make any major faux pas but that was just wishful thinking.
