The Forgotten Prince (Shifter Rebellion, 3) (11 page)

Ryllan smiled, glad they’d come to
some kind of agreement. He turned to look at Aleth, who didn’t wear
any emotion on his face. Ryllan wasn’t sure how the prince felt
about the proposal.

“
I will help give Agarri
the information you need to win this war. Not for him, but for you.
I won’t have you harmed unnecessarily if I can do anything about
it. But I won’t use my powers to harm anyone for him. Only if
there’s no threat anyone would be hurt. If my powers
work
, that
is.”

Ryllan stood and pulled Aleth into his
arms. “I’m glad you’re willing to help. It shows honor.”

Aleth chuckled. “No one has ever
called me honorable.”

“
It’s a new dawn.
Everything will be different from this point forward. We must stop
living in the past,” Ryllan answered. “We make our own futures. You
can be anything you want from this point on.”

Aleth turned and smiled faintly. “If
only that were true.”

“
Ah, but it is,” Ryllan
answered. “You only have to make the decision today and make it
happen. Set things in motion.”

“
If I could be anything,
then I’d choose to be yours. All of yours,” Aleth said.

“
And who says you can’t
be?” Greylin asked. “Show us the male you want to be. We’ll do the
same for you.”

Aleth spun to look at Greylin, and
Ryllan pulled Aleth back against him. The prince squirmed a little
in Ryllan’s embrace, and Ryllan felt the spark of need in his
blood. It had never really gone away. He’d wanted the prince since
the moment he’d seen him. The jealousy he felt was funny. He shared
all with his brothers yet he’d coveted Aleth for a
moment.

If he could show them who he was, he’d
be theirs. There would be no fighting or envy amongst
them.

Ryllan brushed his lips down Aleth’s
neck.

The prince froze. “I thought you said
you wouldn’t claim me?”

“
A claiming consists of
all three of us taking you at once, with the agreement between us
that we are coming together as one. As long as there is no
agreement, then we can do as we wish.”

Aleth turned and smiled up at Ryllan.
“Good. I thought it meant you wouldn’t touch me like this again. I
can accept waiting to learn one another, but I didn’t want to give
up the sharing of our bodies.”

“
For a virgin, you sure
are hungry,” Ryllan said.

Aleth rubbed his ass along Ryllan’s
growing erection. “I’ve a lot of time to make up for.”

Ryllan wondered just how hungry the
prince was. Aleth had already shown a penchant for appreciating
pain. Ryllan and his triad brothers had played control games with
the whores they’d paid for, but never having a lover of their own,
they’d been prevented from having a true Dom-sub relationship—which
Ryllan craved. His brothers had seemed to enjoy the play he’d
initiated in the whorehouses, but he’d never been able to fully
explore the need he felt to dominate his lover.

Sex wasn’t only what happened in bed.
The buildup and testing of limits added to the desire. You couldn’t
get that with coin.

Now, he was being handed the reins,
with a male who seemed willing to go wherever Ryllan drove him. He
wanted to test the prince’s borders and see where the limits were.
Ryllan drew Aleth’s robe off his shoulders, letting it pool on the
floor. Aleth stood nude before them, the air charged with the
prince’s vulnerability.

“
What is it you want me to
do?” Prince Aleth asked, sliding into the role of sub without
thought, it seemed. The prince’s sense of compliance was
thrilling.

“
I just want to look at
you,” Ryllan said lowly. “Stand perfectly still until I tell you to
move.” Ryllan’s heart sped in his chest at the opportunity he was
being afforded. With his brothers in agreement that they’d offer
the prince haven, it opened up so many possibilities.

Aleth stood frozen for a moment, but
soon became jittery under Ryllan’s constant gaze. He shifted his
weight from one hip to the other.

Ryllan spanked Aleth’s ass roughly.
Aleth moaned lowly, so low Ryllan almost didn’t hear it.

“
I said stand
still.”

Aleth stood taller and froze once
more. Ryllan moved about him in a semi-circle, eyeing the prince’s
naked form. “Perfection.”

Aleth glanced at his silver-covered
hand. “Hardly perfect.”

Ryllan spanked Aleth again, harder
this time. “I didn’t ask you to speak or question my statement, did
I?”

Aleth stared wide-eyed at Ryllan
before slowly shaking his head. Ryllan spanked him again, harder
this time.

“
I asked a pointed
question and expect an answer. Did I ask you to question my
statement?”

“
N-no. I spoke out of
turn,” Aleth said hesitantly.

“
Yes, you spoke out of
turn,” Ryllan said, smoothing a palm over the damaged skin he’d
just spanked.

Aleth’s back bowed ever so slightly
and his lips parted at Ryllan’s words, giving Ryllan all the
motivation needed to continue the play. Ryllan glanced at Greylin
and Amaden, and saw both of their darkened gazes ever watchful.
Both of their cocks stood at attention inside their pants, tenting
the material.

“
I won’t have my opinions
of you challenged. I find your form—beautiful. You are lovely to
look at. All of you. And if you question me again, I’ll be forced
to punish you further.”

When Aleth turned and stared at Ryllan
with a sparkle in his eye, Ryllan knew the fun was only
beginning.

“
So, if I speak without
being prompted to, I’ll be spanked?” Aleth asked.

Ryllan swatted Aleth’s ass hard,
garnering him a moan. “A spank or more. And since you didn’t ask
permission to ask the question, here’s another.” Ryllan struck the
other cheek, making the flesh darker pink. Aleth was trembling
where he stood, trying to remain still.

“
May I ask a question?”
Aleth asked.

Ryllan hid the smile trying to come to
his lips. The prince was quick to learn, for sure. “Yes,” Ryllan
said, gently rubbing over the warmed flesh of Aleth’s
bottom.

“
If I’m naughty, very
naughty, will you hurt me?”

Ryllan looked down into Aleth’s face,
his cock swelling painfully in his pants. “I will only give you
what you need and no more. We’re just learning one another. There
are boundaries to test and limits to find. I won’t give you
anything you can’t handle.”

“
The journey to find these
limits sounds intriguing,” Aleth whispered. “It will take much time
and practice on our parts, won’t it?”

Ryllan gave Aleth’s ass another hard
swat. Aleth moaned and melted against Ryllan’s chest. Ryllan was so
ready to push the prince to the floor and take him then and there.
He, too, was inexperienced in this play, but he couldn’t act the
part before his sub. Ryllan needed to give the air of confidence to
allow Aleth’s comfort.

“
Indeed, my prince.”
Together they would learn.

Greylin rose to his feet and walked up
to Aleth, stopping mere inches before him. He lifted a hand to
caress the side of Aleth’s face. “You stir things in me I never
knew were there.” Greylin’s gaze lifted to Ryllan’s. “And I’ve seen
glimpses of this before, but never realized just how intensely
stimulating they could be.”

Ryllan watched as Greylin lowered his
head and captured Aleth’s lips with his. The kiss soon turned
ravishing, Greylin hungrily lapping at the prince’s mouth before
finally pulling away. Once he stood back, he spun Aleth to face
Ryllan. Ryllan smiled as Greylin lowered a hand to graze over
Aleth’s soft ass cheeks before lifting that same hand, bringing it
down with a slap.

Aleth cried out and leaned into
Ryllan. After the prince looked over his shoulder at Greylin, he
arched his back, pushing his ass out in invitation. Greylin looked
up at Ryllan, and Ryllan saw the need reflecting back at him.
Greylin took the prince’s invitation and splayed his hand over the
reddened skin before offering up another swipe.

The prince jumped slightly and mewed,
his head falling back in abandon. Greylin added a volley of
strikes, spacing them out with time and intensity.

Ryllan watched his brother’s
excitement, as well as that of Aleth, and grew hotter. Need
traveled through him at an increasing rate. He’d never expected
Greylin to share this desire with him, but to have him there,
accepting and willing to participate, pushed Ryllan’s craving
higher.

Amaden remained on the other side,
watching the play. He didn’t seem ready to partake, but he didn’t
stop them, either. His low breathing and hard cock said he found
the play intriguing, and that was enough for Ryllan. Amaden could
remain their audience, observing their needs and the tormenting of
their sub.

The gentle giant might not have it in
him to hurt Aleth—and Ryllan knew Amaden struggled at times to know
his own strength. That in itself was enough to hold the big guy
back, Ryllan was sure.

Amaden didn’t need to exclude himself
from fear of hurting Aleth. He took Aleth’s hand and began to lead
him over to Amaden, halting him once they were inches
apart.

“
Amaden, is there anything
you wish our prince would do for you?”

Amaden looked up at Aleth, his gaze
sparkling. “I fear if I participate, I would mark the prince’s
flesh too much.”

Just as Ryllan had assumed, Amaden
wanted to be included but cast himself to the side. Ryllan noted
that Amaden’s hands shook and sweat beaded his forehead. Ryllan
drew closer to Aleth’s side and pressed his lips against the
prince’s ear.

“
Have you tasted his cock,
little prince?”

Aleth shook his head.

“
You slept beside him last
night, offered him your body, yet you didn’t sample his
shaft?”

“
I was too needy last
night. I rushed him into taking me,” Aleth said.

Ryllan looked to Amaden, who swallowed
with difficulty. Seeing his brother so needy, and being able to
help guide Aleth towards satisfying him was incredibly exciting.
Ryllan realized he would enjoy watching Aleth sucking Amaden off—as
long as he was there to guide and direct the action. By driving
them, he would play a role, and there would be no room for
jealousy.

“
Get down on your knees,
between his thighs,” Ryllan instructed Aleth.

Aleth obeyed, and Amaden adjusted
himself in the seat, his need apparent. Greylin approached,
standing beside Ryllan to watch what transpired.

“
Uncover his cock, Prince
Aleth,” Ryllan commanded.

Aleth hesitated a moment, and Greylin
spanked Aleth’s ass, prodding him on. The prince pushed away
Amaden’s tunic before grasping the edges of his leather pants and
undoing the laces at the front with one hand. Ryllan saw him
struggle, realizing the mistake he’d made too late. With only one
hand, Aleth struggled some with the ties.

The prince navigated well without the
use of his other hand, but the intricate lacing seemed a little
bothersome for him. Ryllan could feel the prince’s frustration
mounting, and was about to step in to help. He noted that Amaden’s
hands had begun to move as well, to step in and assist, more than
likely. Before either of them could lend aid, Aleth lowered his
head and began to use his teeth to help work the laces away. A
smile came to Ryllan’s lips as his ingenious little prince found a
way to overcome and rise to the challenge.

Aleth lifted his head with a smile on
his lips once he’d freed Amaden’s cock, and drew the hard shaft
from between the folds of fabric as if it was a trophy he’d
won.

“
Fine job, little prince,”
Ryllan answered. “Now you must learn every inch of his shaft.
Observe every fold as you explore him with your hand.”

Aleth nodded and started stroking
Amaden’s hard shaft with a tight fist before running his thumb over
the cap and spreading the small bead of cum he found
there.

“
Might I ask a question?”
Aleth asked, never taking his gaze from Amaden’s cock.

“
You may,” Ryllan
intoned.

“
Can I explore him with my
mouth as well, or only my hand?”

The prince was too ready to push
ahead. They had plenty of time. Before they could leave, they had
to give the warships time to get a good head start. “Why rush? You
may only touch him with your hand for now, until I instruct you
otherwise.”

“
And if I don’t
obey?”

Greylin gave Aleth a hearty spank,
bringing a sigh from Aleth.

“
I think you know exactly
what will happen if you don’t obey,” Ryllan said.

Aleth looked over his shoulder for a
moment before turning and licking the head of Amaden’s cock. He
sucked in the head and swirled his tongue over it, tasting the
male. Amaden’s head fell back against the wall, his body tight.
Ryllan didn’t want to take this pleasure away from Amaden, but
their submissive would have to be punished for his
crime.

“
If you wish to suckle
that cock, you’ll have to take your punishment as well. Ass in the
air, Prince Aleth.”
