Part 13: Orlando cried out as Sean thrust mightily into him, jerking his body back and forth. He did not think that it was possible for his legs to be spread any farther apart. The man did not do this to find his own pleasure though, he took this pace because it was what Orlando desired. The man would remain celibate for the rest of his days if it would make Orlando happy. Orlando always marveled at how even when Sean took him from behind, if Orlando so much as winced, the man would somehow sense it and stop to see if the youth was all right to continue. Orlando clutched the top of the table as tightly as possible, using it as a brace against the powerful thrusts. He gave a small cry when Sean’s thick cock stroked his pleasure deep inside him. He knew that such noises could get them caught, as much as they both enjoyed hearing them, and brought his hand to his mouth. The dark haired beauty bit his knuckle to try and stifle his moans and cries of pleasure. Sean kept a firm hold of Orlando’s hips, pulling him up to meet the rough thrusts that made the youth’s slender body bounce on impact. The little noises his lover kept making merely drove him on. He reminded himself that the next day, the guests would be gone, and Orlando could go back to sneaking out of the house at night and meeting Sean in the woods, where they could be as loud as they pleased. Orlando’s soft skin, silken hair and alluring scent drove Sean wild. The boy was seduction made flesh, and Sean was willingly seduced. He leaned down and placed lavish openmouthed kisses on Orlando’s belly, and then further up to his nipples. He suckled the dark coral disks as though he were a babe, knowing how much Orlando loved it. The boy was incredibly responsive. His nipples were a little larger than a man’s would normally be, and extremely sensitive. The beauty cried out and arched his beck in ecstasy as the blonde rolled one of the tight buds between his teeth, while one of his hands worked its way before him and stroked the youth‘s velvet cock. Sean cupped his hands to support the boy’s arched back as he continued his ministrations, slowing his thrusts and making them more languid to accommodate the youth. Orlando let himself be held up by Sean and went limp in his hands, merely the top of his head still in contact with the table. He moaned as he let his fingers twine in Sean’s dark blonde locks, clutching him to his breast to urge and hold him. “Oh Sean…” he moaned, rolling his hips into the man’s thrust. In one fluid motion, Sean drew Orlando up against him, so that the boy straddled him on the table. Orlando wound his arms about the man’s neck to bring their bodies together. Sean claimed the blushing petals of Orlando’s lips and the youth opened his honeyed mouth to receive the questing tongue. They came together, shuddering as they held each other close. Sean nestled his face in the crook of Orlando’s neck, reveling in the sweet scent there. He gently kissed the tender flesh there, and rubbed up and down the boy’s smooth back, letting his fingers touch the crude scar there. He loved that scar, for it was a part of Orlando…it was yet another thing made him unique, and at the same time reminded him that this ethereal beauty in his arms was mortal. He caressed the youth’s back to sooth him from his powerful orgasm. “I love you Orlando…so very much.” Orlando stroked the older man’s hair gently, kissing his temple with his swollen lips. “I love you as well, Sean. But why do you speak as though we shall not see each other again? Will we not be spending the evening together tomorrow as well?” “Yes, my darling,” Sean assured him with a small smile, fondly brushing his fingers through Orlando’s short hair. It was only long enough to show the beginnings of the lush curls Orlando had often reminisced about. Sean cursed the lice that had forced the boy’s mother to shave them off. He looked forward to the day when they would grow out again, and he would be able to run his fingers through them too sooth the youth to sleep or in the heat of lovemaking. He softly kissed Orlando on his rosy lips and once again assured him that they would spend every evening together if it would please Orlando. The youth smiled at the response and snuggled against the man, feeling his love’s strong arms wrap around him. Sean kissed the top of Orlando’s head. “I simply do not speak the words often enough, considering how dear they are to me.” he said, his voice low and quiet. “I love it when you say it,” Orlando admitted softly against Sean’s chest. Sean tipped Orlando’s face and tenderly kissed his right cheek. “You are my life,” he kissed the left cheek, “My air,” he kissed the youth’s forehead and then looked into his chocolate eyes. “And you are my one love, never to be forgotten or replaced.” He then claimed the soft mouth again in a sweet, gentle kiss. Their lips ghosted over each other allowing them to share breath. They sat quietly together for many moments, merely listening to the other breathe, and holding each other. Sean could feel the ring on Orlando’s finger, as the metal was cool against his exposed skin. The knowledge that Orlando never removed the ring was one that filled his heart with warmth, and there very feel of it made his spirits rise to the heavens. He would that this moment could last forever, but alas, all moments end. Christopher Lee sadly watched as Ian climbed into his carriage with aid from the Irish servant Colin that Christopher knew really wasn’t necessary. He did not want his friend and co conspirator to leave, as in his old age the one thing he required around him was a companion. Sean would visit him and talk to him at night, but now his valiant grounds man was with Orlando, and the two spent many hours together. Christopher wanted Ian around to fill his spare time with. He waved goodbye as he watched the carriage depart. Ian had waited for all the other guests to leave before he himself made his exit. He promised his friend that he would return in three weeks, and stay while he had some construction on his house done. Christopher had taken this as enough and watched his lifelong friend leave the grounds, his valet Grant at his side. After raising his pipe to his lips and taking a puff, Lord Christopher Lee stuffed his hands in his pockets and made his way into his large house, once again alone. Lord Viggo paced through the house. He had had no desire to bid the other guests farewell, and feigned a headache to avoid them. He had no desire to be among anyone who had an ounce of cheer in them, nor anyone who had the privilege of leaving. Lord Mortensen cursed his decision to stay longer in that retched house. His pride had been given a severe wound, and all he wanted to do was go and lick it. The rejection of the servant boy Orlando had just been too much of a shock…and he hated the feelings it evoked. He refused to question his own worth and allure. He knew he was a handsome man, a fine catch. He was a Lord…a member of the elite, and that little slut had the audacity to choose another servant over him! He did not even know how he should react to this rejection, ad not knowing that only served to fuel his rage. Mortensen needed a drink, and he needed one right then. The man made his way to the library to take liberties with Lord Lee’s ‘hidden stash.’ He threw the door open and made straight to the cabinet where it was kept. He removed the bottle and looked for a glass…considered it…and then merely uncorked the bottle and took a hearty swig. The liquor burned down his throat and he relished it, immediately taking another gulp. He sat on one of the stuffed chairs placed against the wall and sulked. A noise broke his sullen concentration, and Viggo looked up to see the door being opened again, this time propped by the person who entered. To the Lord’s utter glee, it was none other than the pretty servant Orlando Bloom who entered the library, two books in his arm. He crossed the room without noticing Viggo in the corner, getting to his duties of replacing the books in their proper place. The youth was so engrossed in his task that he did not hear the man’s carpet muffled steps behind him. Orlando felt a man’s presence behind him, and then warm breath on his exposed neck. A firm hand caressed his back and then slid down to kneed his buttocks. Orlando moaned wantonly. “Sean…” he whispered, his voice heavy and low with passion. “Who is Sean, lovely?” Orlando cried out and whipped around, facing Viggo for the first time. “Sir!” he cried. “I did not know that it was you…what are you doing in here?” Orlando was trapped between the bookshelf and the man before him. He was unsure of how he would escape this awkward situation, but the look in Lord Viggo’s eyes indicated that he would not be escaping any time soon. “You know, you are really an exquisite creature,” the man appraised, stroking a finger down the down cheek of the youth. “You have indeed peeked my…interest. Does this please you, Orlando?” Orlando was surprised at the man using his Christian name, and at the bluntness of the statement. He had explained once before to the man that he was unable to interact in such a manner with him, but the man seemed to pay him no mind. “I am flattered that you find one of my stature intriguing…yet I do not know what interests you so…” “You do not?” Viggo asked, leaning in. “Then I should like to demonstrate to you…” He leaned in to kiss the youth on his cherry lips, but Orlando ducked away. Lord Mortensen fought down a snarl as he grabbed Orlando by the wrist and whipped him around. “I find it most intriguing that you are so accustomed to men of prestige and breeding showing such interest in you that you are so ungrateful.” “Forgive me sir if I do seem ungrateful to you, but I must again stress to you that I cannot accept you offer, no matter how generous it is.” Orlando tried to keep the tremble in his voice down so as not to show his fear, but it was difficult with a man as intimidating as Lord Mortensen. “Can not, or will not, my spirited stallion” Viggo asked with an uplifted eyebrow. “I suppose a little of both,” Orlando said, instantly regretting the words when he saw the anger in the man’s eyes. “You dare reject me?” Viggo asked sharply, his voice deceptively quiet. “You dare reject a man so above you? A man that should deem to find a mere servant worthy of his time? What a very spoilt and disrespectful boy you are.” “I am not spoilt sir, and I am trying my best to not be disrespectful. I merely beg of you that you do not request such things of me.” Orlando eyes widened in endearment as he spoke the words. The youth’s soft, pleading voice set fire to Viggo’s loins. “I would much rather have you beg for other things,” he said, as he cupped the youth’s chin. “Orlando?” Both men whipped their heads over and Orlando almost cried out with relief when he saw Sean standing in the doorway, a hammer and bag of nails in his hand. “Sean,” Orlando gasped, finally able to bow his head to Lord Mortensen and break free of his clutches. He hurried over to Sean and the large man put a protective arm at his waist. Sean did not like the frightened look in Orlando’s dark eyes and quickly moved his gaze over to Lord Mortensen. He locked eyes with the man and met his predatory gaze and met it with one of his own. Lord Mortensen’s nostrils flared at such obvious challenge, but maintained his stance and dignity. “I need your help hanging some paintings, Orlando” Sean said to the youth, sliding his arm farther around the youth’s waist. “Of course,” Orlando said, his breath still slightly caught. “Good day, Lord Mortensen,” he said to the man standing by the bookshelves. Mortensen sneered at the pair. “Good day to you gentlemen. Carry on.” As the two left Sean and Viggo locked eyes one last time, each taking into note the countenance of his opponent. So, this blonde ruffian servant had dared to challenge him and attempt to show him up in front of the lovely Orlando. They would see to whom the spoils would be rewarded, but Viggo was not a man to ever give in. He saw his new challenge before him…he wanted Orlando, and he would have him…but first he had to win him from this man, and he had a mind as to how to do it. Once again, he was looking forward to his nearing conversation with Lord Lee, very much so indeed… TBC... please review
