The Prince's Trust

After Dark [M]

Hey everyone! - or atleast those of you who are left 🙈 hardly  anyone read the last chapter so I'm anxious that everyone's lost interest 😪

Anyway, being optimistic that my readers are just busy/ will return and also having found motivation for everyone else! Here is another chapter!!

It is SMUTTY! This is a smut based chapter hence the mature at the top ^^^ it's the longest smut chapter I've ever written but it does include a lot of talking at the beginning and slowly gets more dirty so the first part is a worth the read in my opinion.

You'll know as you read when it's about to turn to smut so feel free just to stop reading when it gets uncomfortable because it'll only get more sexual and maybe even kinky 😉 from there ❤️

Okay so I'll stop with the nervous chatter and let you get on with it 😬

have fun!

It was already late when I returned to my quarters, someone had brought dinner up for me and I ate until I was full before napping lightly on my bed until midnight.

I hadn't told Forrest that I was meeting Ant, I hadn't told anyone.

It was exciting and naughty!

Somehow, likely Ant's doing, the guards by my door were doing a change over at exactly 11:50pm giving me enough time to slip out of my room unnoticed and speed through the corridors.

It was almost too easy, pulling up my hooded cloak and walking swiftly down the stairs and around the courtyard. I hadn't been to this part of the castle before, but it seemed like there was only one path to follow so I ducked through the small passage way, heading straight towards the light at the end of the thin tunnel.

As soon as I was about to step out though I stopped suddenly, spinning back around into the darkness till my back slammed against the wall.

I thought It was a patrol, so was surprised when Leo and a much taller man- Hugo- walked past slowly. Leo looked sad, his eyes were red and tears ran down his cheeks and I shuffled a bit so I could listen carefully as they walked around the edge of the training ring slowly.

"I-in my dreams I don't d-don't see them. I-I guess I'm blindfolded..." Leo mumbled, "b-but that makes it worse. B-because I am t-tied down.... I can feel their hands on me b-but there's nothing to fight a-against. I-it's s-stupid. C-cause I know I-it's not real... b-but it's like every night I relive it... I-I can't sleep anymore. I-I'm just t-too weak to man up and get over it."

I realised he must've had a nightmare and my heart ached for the young boy.

I felt a bit helpless, but then comforted as Hugo stopped infront of the boy looking down on him and placing a hand on his shoulder like a father would a son.

"There is nothing stupid about having bad dreams. We all get them. You've been through something horrible Leo, of course you'll have trauma from that. I have bad dreams sometimes."

"Y-you do? B-but you're not small like me." Leo pointed out innocently with a pout and I smiled, thinking about Ant and his bad dreams. Being scared isn't a sign of weakness, the strongest people I know are scared. It makes them human.

Hugo nodded with a small, sad smile, "We all have them. Even the strongest of men. You've just got to wake up and remember they aren't real, you are safe. I know It'll take a while to believe it but you are home now. I believe in the new Prince. He's a good kid... much like his father. He will protect you from now on."
