“Kai?” he asked cautiously.
He pulled back. “This is called lube. It’s suppose to make loving you easier and less painful. I only know what I’ve read, so if you’d prefer, you can try with me first so you know how it feels.”
Henry didn’t even have to think about it. Kai was a noble. A prince of the realm. To do this to him would be… no, those rules didn’t apply here. They never should have been in use back when they were living in Innernook. Still, so many things were changing and Henry needed time to take it all in.
“May I think about it? I don’t want to say yes, but I would like the option at a later date.”
“Of course. Anytime you decide you’d like to try this, you have simply to tell me.”
Panic swept through Henry at the thoughts of his future. “And I won’t be imprisoned? You swear this, yes?” he asked, nerves making his voice shaky.
“No. Here we don’t even have prisons. At least not like they had in Innernook. We believe in rehabilitation for our people who have done wrong. Helping to discover where things went awry and helping to correct that behavior. As far as we’re concerned, incarceration serves no one. If it becomes necessary for stronger methods, people will be restricted to their homes, but we will never put them in a cage.” He brought Henry’s knuckles to his lips and kissed them. “Could you tell me why you’re so fearful?”
Henry turned his gaze to Kai. “My parents knew my heart would never belong to a woman. They both swore they loved me no less. Yet, for so long all I heard from those of the church was hell awaits they who love another of their sameness. I know you tell me that neither heaven nor hell exists, but what if you’re wrong?”
Kai wrapped an arm around Henry, pulling him close. “Based on their beliefs, I cannot be wrong. For no loving god would allow someone to suffer unending torture simply for who they love. If—and I will not mock you should you choose to continue believing—gods do exist, then why have hell at all? If gods created man, then they’re the ones responsible for his downfall. Believe as you will, my dearest, but I could never accept someone who claims to show love, but then dispenses punishment for simply being who you are.”
And Henry knew it was true. His own mother had gone against the teachings so she could support her parents. How had he not noticed that the church said their god was the only god that was right? That if you didn’t believe in that god, then eternal damnation awaited you. That would mean his grandmother and grandfather would be suffering in hell because they believed in the old gods. Henry couldn’t fathom that at all.
“Would you like to sleep?” Kai asked softly.
No. Henry didn’t want to sleep. He wanted Kai, but he also needed to get everything right in his head. He turned and leaned in, claiming Kai’s sweet lips.
“No. I want to learn. For you to teach me how a dragon makes love.”
Oh, sure. No pressure. Kai had never been with anyone else, so how could do justice to the act and make it good for Henry?
“Then shall I continue from where I left off?”
Henry nodded and lay back, his legs spread. Kai marveled at Henry’s body. So pale, so beautiful. He bent again and took Henry into his mouth, loving the gasp that escaped. He bobbed his head up and down, taking more of Henry’s length in with each downstroke. He wasn’t surprised when slender fingers slid through his hair and clutched his head.
“Kai, I—”
As Henry pressed down on Kai’s head, he slid a thumb into Henry’s opening, gently probing, getting it ready for him.
“Oh gods!” Henry cried out. “That feels… wonderful.”
A sigh of relief slid from Kai. He continued to suck the tasty treat in his mouth, licking around the head, sliding down the shaft, then twirling his tongue over the length, all while enjoying Henry’s whimpers. One thing was certain: Henry was a very sensual man. Kai pulled off the cock and moved his way down to the balls, which he sucked into his mouth. Henry’s head snapped back and forth, and Kai’s name was a litany of whispered pleas.
Kai lifted Henry’s legs, exposing that beautiful ass. This would probably freak both of them out, but whatever. He pushed the legs toward Henry’s chest, amazed by how pliable Henry was. Kai truly believed Henry would allow him to do anything he wanted. It was quite heady to have someone put their trust in you like that.
Time to put that to the test.
He held Henry’s legs up with one hand, then slipped three fingers into his opening.
“More, please,” Henry begged, as his eyes fluttered closed.
Kai smiled as he took one leg in each hand, then pushed Henry nearly in half. Before Henry could react, Kai leaned in and pressed his tongue into Henry’s hole.
“No, Kai!” Henry cried out, his body shaking.
“Is there a problem?”
“That’s not safe or clean.”
“This is why we showered, my dear. To ensure you were clean so I could do this for you. Now, may I continue?”
“But I—I….”
