Prince Of The Sea

Chapter 5, Unknown Feelings

"I think you've earned yourself a treat, little dog." With that said, his lips pushed against Alexanders softly, connecting the surprised slave with his owner in the sweetest way possible.

Alexander sat in his cell, leaning against the wooden wall of his prison while thinking about the previous day. The captain, the man who kidnapped him and tried to kill the king, had kissed him! The prince couldn't understand. Why in the world would Midas even think about doing that? Kissing another man, even his prisoner! Or did he just do it out of fun, toying with the young prince as he always did? Messing with his feelings just for his own entertainment. But either way...the way he kissed him and the way it made Alexander feel...The prince had always had a clear imagination of how his first kiss should be. With a lady of good blood, chosen by his father and her parents. Both of them connecting not only their lips but their bloodlines, knowing they'll give the kingdom of Aramis a new king for when their time of reign would end. But wait

The more Alexander thought about it, the closer did the truth came to him. That image in his head, it was how his first kiss should be. How his father wanted it to be. But what about Alexander himself? He had never thought about how he wanted it to be. He never had to, as everything until now had been decided for him. And now it happened. A short, yet soft and passionate kiss. Given to him by another man, one that had taken him away from his home and kept him on his ship. This man had first taken away every right off of him, his pride and his position as a mighty prince. And then, after having him work like a dog for hours to save his head from being slayn off, he just did it. Without any hesitation , as if he had done it hundrets of times before, his hands had grabbed his face carefully, like it had been made out of porcelain. Soft warm lips had pressed against those of the prince, taking his breath away. Taking a step he had never expected the captain to take, had never expected himself to take. It had felt so different than he thought it would feel. And that was the thing he hated most about it.

'I did not hate it!'

But he had been so sure he would! And he should! A man should hate to be kissed by another man. Especially by one like Midas. But Alexander did not hate the captains kiss. He had been surprised. Of course, by the whole situation as its own. But also by the way the captains kiss felt. Never before in his entire life had the prince been touched in a way like this, not by any man or woman. So soft and warm, a touch not decided by any king or queen, a touch made as an own choice of that person. Full of passion and desire, like something that person had wanted for their entire life.

The cool wood of his cell felt soothing against Alexanders heated cheeks. His hand ran over his chest, it felt like a bird was trapped inside of it, its wings hitting against his heart as it was trying to get out of its cage. Not being able to sit still any longer aswell, the prince got up. The chains with which he was held here dragged across the ground until he reached the porthole. He looked up into the night sky, the moon and stars reflecting in his blue eyes. A long sigh left the mouth of the prince, sending his worrys and his fears over the endless seeming ocean.

Suddenly, he felt a body pressing against his back. Arms dressed in a white linen shirt snuck around his chest like snakes, big hands decorated with shiny rings met in the middle. A warm breath tickled Alexanders neck and gave him ghoosebumps. Before the prince even had a chance to panic, he realised who his visitor was.

"What do you want?", he asked, trying to sound as cold as possible, yet not able to stop his cheeks from turning red when Midas pulled him closer into the hug. He tried to ignore how his heavy heart became lighter and lighter, how comfortable he felt in the arms of the other man, so safe and secure. He had to resist the urge to let his stiff body relax and lean into the captains touch, he forbid his lips to smile, no matter how much he felt like smiling right now. The captains touch felt warm and cold at the same time, sending electric shocks over Alexanders skin. "Missed you..", Midas muttered, letting his voice sound small and soft in the absence of his crew. "And I know you did too.", he added, letting his lips grace the neck of the prince, bathing in the sound of the sharp breath his prisoner took in response.
