ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON 15

Episode 48

" I cannot do this anymore," Cedric whispered as he stood up abruptly, taking his hand away from Saunders.

Saunders looked up at him in alarm and dismay. He wondered what he had said or done to warrant this behavior of the prince. He also wondered exactly why he felt such a tremendous loss losing the touch of the man's hand. He felt empty inside and alone.

" I'm sorry," he started to say until Cedric shook his head of flowing dark wavy locks.

" No. It is I whom is sorry, Sam.  I can't go on playing the dutiful obedient prince doing the bidding of my family. I lost the man I cared for in Eldermere because of my family. Because of my sis..... " He stopped speaking and took a deep breath. Then he exhaled it and continued speaking again. " I desire you, Samuel Saunders. I've made love with other men before. I am not a virgin. But what I am feeling for you is.... I believe beyond mere sex."

Saunders stood up and gazed at him with questioning eyes. " What are you saying, your highness? "

Cedric laughed almost harshly. " I'm saying that I want you. I want to take you back to the guest house and fuck you. No. I want you to make love to me. Long sweet sensual love. I want to hear you scream my name. Cedric. Not your highness. Not Prince Cedric. Cedric. Or Ric. I want this to be a real date. But it can't be because of who I am and who you are. Because of what my family and my country and the world thinks. I want..... I want... I want to kiss you. " His lips trembled as he whispered," May I kiss you? "

Saunders should say no. He knew that but the word that escaped his mouth was," yes ".

Then the prince approached him ever so slowly and lifted his hand to stroke his face so delicately that Saunders actually felt like he was some precious treasure instead of just a butler. When Cedric's mouth settled upon his own in a shy gentle yearning kiss the butler's eyes drifted closed gradually and his arms rose to wrap around the shorter slimmer man he held.

And , with one kiss they forgot who they both were.

Cedric broke off the kiss reluctantly but still remained in Saunders's arm. " Will you come back to the guest house with me? Please. "

Saunders really really should have said no. Screamed out no. This man was not only a royal prince and he just a butler but he was also the guest of his employer. His employer's godson. He should have said no but instead he said," Yes. But I want to protect you. I need condoms although I am clean of any illnesses."

Cedric smiled softly and almost self consciously. " I have them already. Back at the house. Hidden. I told you I was not a virgin. Let us get a rideshare back to the house but first I need to leave ..... what is it called.....a tip? For the staff here. Do you think five thousand American dollars is acceptable?"
