Chapter 2. Temptation (4)
Hakan, who had been looking at the castle growing distant, suddenly continued as if remembering something.
“Come to think of it, have you visited His Holiness?”
“Not yet.”
“He’s become noticeably unwell in just a few months. His complexion is poor. He seemed to have difficulty even continuing to speak because of his coughing.”
“Is the medicine ineffective?”
“It seems so. I too sent several doctors to examine His Holiness’s condition, but there weren’t any particular results.”
“…I should stop by the Papal Court.”
“Shall I head straight there?”
“No. That’s not it.”
At Grand Duke Canis’s firm words, Hakan made a subtle expression. It was a knowing smile as if he understood everything.
“Why is that?”
“It’s nothing. Since I’m going to Duran anyway, I should see Ardwino too.”
Grand Duke Canis, who had been searching his memory at the familiar name, asked with a disbelieving face.
“…That knight?”
“Oh, you remember.”
“…You still meet with him?”
At Grand Duke Canis’s incredulous face, Hakan spoke in a pleased voice.
“He’s a friend who communicates well and is very enjoyable. Whether it’s because he’s quick-witted or naturally has a good personality, I feel comfortable when I’m with him and time passes really well.”
“He doesn’t seem to fall for it as easily as expected. I see you’re working hard on him.”
At Grand Duke Canis’s words, Hakan made an indignant expression.
“What are you talking about! It’s not like that! I’m not doing anything to him!”
“Why are you walking the path of asceticism against your will?”
At the Grand Duke’s words that clearly mocked him, Hakan hardened his face as if frustrated but couldn’t say anything. He eventually sighed and honestly admitted.
“You’re right about that. How did I end up like this…”
“He doesn’t seem like an ordinary opponent.”
“Well… That’s why it’s more enjoyable. I’ve realized something just now – there are relationships that require this kind of devotion. So you too, instead of keeping him locked up at home like a pet, why don’t you at least let him take a walk? He probably couldn’t even see the sun properly while you were away, and I heard that people get sick from that.”
As if Hakan’s words weren’t even worth listening to, Grand Duke Canis crossed his arms and looked out the window. The carriage, which had been racing busily across the vast land again, was heading toward Antonello territory.
Duran, which he hadn’t visited for a long time, welcomed Grand Duke Canis with an appearance not much different from before. After dropping off Hakan first, the carriage carrying Grand Duke Canis went much further into the dark and narrow alleys caused by the closely packed buildings.
The place Grand Duke Canis headed to after getting off the carriage was the building where Ronen was.
“Oh, welcome, Your Grace.”
His gaze looking down at the page who had grown a lot in the meantime was somewhat stiff. Though boys of that age were said to grow quickly, this was unexpected. If he grew a little more, it would be difficult to see him as a boy.
Grand Duke Canis, who headed straight to the room, opened the door himself. Whether he had seen him coming, Ronen was standing in front of the bed.
The page went outside and locked the door. When Grand Duke Canis saw Ronen, who didn’t even give a light greeting, let alone a formal one, an inexplicable anger surged up.
Whenever he faced that face, he always tasted a feeling mixed with satisfaction and dissatisfaction. If you bring the lowest male prostitute and fill his belly like this, he should know to be grateful.
“It’s been so long that you seem to have forgotten how to welcome your master.”
Grand Duke Canis took off his outer garment and hung it on the chair. And as he sat in the chair, he added:
“You should at least show the sincerity of wagging a tail you don’t even have…”
He paused briefly and opened his mouth while undoing the hook at his neck.
“At least show some appearance of submission.”
He spread his legs and slowly leaned back against the backrest, then wiggled his fingertips resting on the armrest. When Ronen took a step to approach, understanding the meaning, a sneer caught on the Grand Duke’s lips.
“You should come like a pet, shouldn’t you?”
Ronen, who hesitated for a moment, slowly bent his body, and his knees and palms touched the floor. His loose pajamas sagged downward, clearly revealing the inside where he wore nothing. Though it was just an ordinary man’s body, it had a charm that stimulated the Grand Duke’s lust.
Ronen began to crawl over. Only when he got close enough did the Grand Duke touch the thin hair like bird feathers. The hair that had grown long while he was away curled softly and flowed down. The ivory-colored hair didn’t sparkle brilliantly but looked very soft and seemed like it would melt and disappear in warmth like cream.
The hand that had been touching his hair cupped his cheek and rubbed the skin appreciatively with his thumb. The still smooth skin quickly reddened when rubbed by the rough hand. The thumb slowly moved toward his lips and pressed firmly to part them, revealing neat teeth slightly.
The thumb penetrated into his mouth and pressed down on the red tongue. The parted mouth was truly seductive. How could even the inside of his mouth be so lewd?
The Grand Duke’s eyes, which had been looking at his lips, moved upward. He didn’t like Ronen’s eyes that were cast downward, not looking at anything in particular. When he lifted his chin to make him look at himself, vivid light green eyes looked up straight.
“…That look in your eyes is very insolent and twists my mood.”
The Grand Duke, who had withdrawn his finger, cupped the back of Ronen’s head and applied force to make him lower his head.
“Suck.”
Only when Ronen bent his upper body and bit what he could feel hotly swollen at his center through the clothes did the corners of Grand Duke Canis’s lips curl up satisfactorily. At Ronen’s wet tongue soaking the clothes and licking up his member, the Grand Duke leaned back against the backrest and closed his eyes.
The clothes wet with Ronen’s saliva clung to the sensitive skin. The dull sensation of the tongue felt through a thin layer of fabric was giving shallow stimulation. When Ronen, who had been lapping like an animal drinking milk, pulled down his pants, the hard member sprang out and twitched before his eyes.
Ronen unhesitatingly took it into his mouth, though it was already sufficiently wet and glistening. Though it might be burdensome, he seemed quite accustomed to swallowing it straight to his throat with pursed lips. The soft, moist sensation inside his mouth combined with the sucking force steadily drew out pleasure. Grand Duke Canis’s eyes deepened with satisfaction as he looked down at the sight of him slowly moving his head while sucking and licking the shaft.
Though Ronen was now devotedly caressing his member like this, it hadn’t been like this from the beginning. Not only did he disobey orders, but when he tried to force it into his mouth by grabbing his head, there was a time when he resisted with his whole body.
When he grabbed such a Ronen’s hair and forcibly shoved it into his mouth, he would frown and show displeasure. And this wasn’t all. Even when embracing customers, he was someone who made expressions hoping this time would end quickly. With an attitude as if receiving some punishment, and moreover, the dull dryness as if embracing a corpse – there couldn’t be any customer who wouldn’t get angry.
The Grand Duke was simply astounded that a male prostitute who sold his body for money not only didn’t earn his keep but twisted one’s mood. The words about stimulating sadistic tendencies became somewhat understandable. Indeed, how long could he remain haughty? His competitive spirit had surged. The moment he imagined Ronen begging, the back of his neck tingled.
So he pushed him into his bedroom and didn’t let him go for days and nights. The body that had been stiff with pain and tension gradually relaxed and steadily became accustomed to acts with him. Unlike other customers who would have just thrust greedily, Ronen was bewildered by the Grand Duke’s attitude of thoroughly exploring every corner of his body, and his resistance was quite fierce, but it was all ignored.
Whether being tamed with time and devotion was effective, at some point Ronen’s body began to respond. His insides would tighten and bite his member, refusing to let go, and Ronen didn’t know what to do with such changes in himself.
Ronen’s face, twisted with shame, was still vivid. Though he tried to endure forcibly, he ultimately collapsed before pleasure, and what about that expression mixed with ecstasy and despair? That terrible satisfaction was more dizzying than the pleasure obtained from sex. So Madame Cornelia’s words about experiencing the fun of dyeing him with his own color weren’t incomprehensible.
“…Mmph! Mm!”
The Grand Duke grabbed Ronen’s head and thrust all the way in. At the rough movement that stabbed deep into his throat, Ronen’s eyes frowned and became wet. Though he had succeeded in taming his body to match himself, that was all. The current obedience was an attitude that came from the calculation that resistance was useless and would only make things more painful.
Even while trembling at the pleasure the Grand Duke gave, he stubbornly held back his moans and endured to not let himself go. The expression as if receiving punishment remained. The attitude of enduring beyond resignation couldn’t be pleasant. No matter how much he took, he just couldn’t be taken completely, so surely the displeasure that surged when looking at Ronen originated from here.
The Grand Duke pulled Ronen’s head back and pulled his member out of his mouth. The tip, covered in saliva, glistened under the light. Ronen’s face, coughing roughly and gasping for breath, was wet with tears.
The Grand Duke, who had let go of the hair he was holding, stood up.
“How long are you going to stay crouched down?”
At the Grand Duke’s words, Ronen also stood up staggering. The Grand Duke only spun one finger in a circle, but Ronen, understanding the meaning, turned his body and grabbed the chair with both hands.
The Grand Duke, who went to stand behind Ronen’s back, grabbed the hem of the white garment and slowly pulled it up. The naked body was gradually revealed. Looking over the slightly spread legs, the moderately fleshed buttocks, and the waist that was slender for a man, the Grand Duke made Ronen bite the hem of the garment in his mouth.
When he spread the buttocks with both hands, the still tightly closed opening came into view. The Grand Duke held it spread apart on both sides and pushed his thumb in. Though it was a body that had embraced so many men, it was still narrow. When the thick thumb penetrated quite stiffly, Ronen’s body flinched.
Thanks to careful teaching, Ronen’s entire body was now no different from an erogenous zone. Just pushing one thumb all the way in and pressing firmly inside, his body responded on its own. He repeatedly tightened and loosened by himself, sucking it deeper inside.
When he pulled out slightly and thrust in again with a poke, Ronen’s legs trembled. Suppressed moans leaked between his lips that were biting the clothes, and his hands gripping the chair turned white with force. Just from his back view, it seemed clear how much he was feeling, and therefore how shameful and agonizing it was for him.
