Bound by Oaths

(In the Service of the King 1)

When Connor joined the royal guard, he swore to serve and obey the king. But he never imagined what services the king might desire of him, until he is summoned one night for a private audience...

"What a delicious morsel you are. Truly, you would have been wasted in that village."

Connor shook his head in mute embarrassment, knowing himself completely exposed, and yet strangely pleased at having won the praise of the king. He held his breath as Aurelius tilted the goblet above him. Hot spiced wine, fragrant and sticky, spilled over the brim and poured onto his chest. He gasped at the sudden heat. The scent of cinnamon and cloves filled his nostrils.

Aurelius bent and licked at it, the rasp of his tongue setting every nerve afire. He traced the wet tip around each nipple, and tugged lightly with his teeth. Connor bucked his hips, straining upwards, but Aurelius held him down, not done tasting him. "I am going to claim every part of you."

Ruled by Pleasure

(In the Service of the King 2)

When Connor is confined to barracks by an injury, he thinks his secret trysts with the king must come to a halt. But the king is not a man to be denied, even at the risk of exposing what Connor does for him...

"If you hope to satisfy me, you had best get to work." Aurelius stroked Connor's cheek. "The doors will open at noon."

Connor froze in horror. The bells had already tolled the half hour, he recalled. How much time was left? If the doors opened, the whole court would see him like this, sprawled naked across the king's lap. A man of the royal guard, his uniform discarded on the floor, a mere plaything of the king. Panic fluttering in his chest, Connor tried to climb down. But Aurelius held him in an iron grip.

"You promised me anything," the king purred. "Go on. Show me how much you want to please me."
