you and I want you.”
Rain walked closer, letting Alchan pull him into his chest between his outstretched legs, then leaned his forehead onto Alchan’s chest.
“But I want her. I think it’s what we are. She’s so…supple and soft and bendable.” Alchan moaned as Rain reached down and once again proved just how much Alchan wanted the female. “She would do anything, and that appeals to a really dark place in me.”
“Have you ever considered your way of doing things might appeal to her?” Rain asked softly. He found his time to strike, and it felt like losing a leash. “I know something you don’t, my wonderful king and husband.” He looked up and nipped his king’s bottom lip before capturing that mouth in a kiss. “I am an Andinna male. I know how this goes. Take whoever you want, just as long as you stay mine as well because I will always be yours.”
“Excuse me?” Alchan raised an eyebrow, his words disbelieving.
“You heard me. She and I talk about everything. You think you haven’t come up?” Rain pulled away, leaving his lover bereft. “I’ve known, Alchan. I’ve watched you this entire trip. I always watch you, anyway, so it wasn’t hard. I’ve known how you react to her. You think I don’t notice my husband get hard when he watches her ass bounce? Or her tits? She’s very…curvy. She doesn’t do it for me, but I care about her. Her circumstances speak to me, and I want her happy, but she’s living under Leria’s badly executed intentions.”
“Rain, what are you trying to say?” Alchan said with an edge.
“I shouldn’t say all this, but…” Rain shook his head sadly at the confused expression on his king’s face. “You two are hopeless, and it’s sad. Really. Alchan, if you walked up to her right now and beckoned her to your bed, she would go. Not because she’s been ordered, but because she genuinely finds you attractive. You’re the first Andinna who has ever done that for her. And you know what else? I would be okay with it if that’s really what you’re worried about. I would have no problem watching you fuck her until she’s limp and exhausted, just as long as you were still willing to take me the next night or maybe even right after.”
Rain started to walk away, but Alchan grabbed him.
“Are you playing with me?” Alchan snapped, glaring. “Are you…trying to get me to hook up with her, so I have kids?”
“Kids aren’t even the problem,” Rain snapped back. “How dare you.”
“Then why are you meddling in this?” Alchan snarled.
“Because I love you, and one day I’m going to die, and you will have at least a thousand years left. You have the right to be happy every moment of every day. You shouldn’t have to deprive yourself of something because you are scared of yourself when you have no reason to be. I’m tired of watching you hurt yourself, Alchan, and I refuse to be someone you use to hurt yourself. Consider this my blessing for you to court Lady Lilliana, or rather, my wonderful, beautiful female, Lily. I’m not asking you to fuck her right now, but I’m tired of watching you kill yourself slowly because you are too scared to just ask her what she wants.”
“If I asked her, would she tell me what you just did?” Alchan was still glaring, but it had softened. Rain had known this would be touchy. Alchan and females were oil and water.
“Unless you scared her, yes,” Rain snapped but put a hand on Alchan’s chest before either of them thought to move and prove it. “Maybe you should give me a chance to tell her it’s coming, so she knows it’s not unwelcome. She might be worried you’ll be angry because of Leria’s machinations.”
“Ah…” Alchan groaned. “The Leria problem…I understand now.” His husband turned away. “Rain, I’m…” When Alchan turned back, he threw his hands up. “I’ve never been with a female. Even if this did work out…I don’t know…I mean, I know how it works, but I’ve never done it.”
Rain raised his eyebrows and tried to accept that bit of knowledge. “Well, that’s something you might want to talk to Lily about.” Rain was grinning as he turned away.
Finally. We might actually get somewhere now.
“I’m going to stay and…handle this,” Alchan muttered.
“Do you want help?” Rain asked, looking over his shoulder and licking his lips.
“No…not this time,” Alchan said sheepishly. “I…”
Rain laughed and took the hint.
