All-Nighters
Chapter 1
Sinbad waited in bed, under the covers for Ja'far to come to the king's quarters to rest as he did every night.
They had been having this little affair for seven months now. Everyone knew what was happening, the 'secret' was not hard to figure out. The generals just let the two be.
As long as Ja'far did what needed to be done, Sindria was fine. But every night after work, the two lovers would crawl into the same bed and either cuddle or make love.
But it was getting late as Sinbad laid in bed. He was waiting for Ja'far to come in so he could hold the man he loved in his arms. He waited and waited. Maybe Ja'far was mad at him, when that happened Ja'far just stayed in his own room until Sinbad made it up to him. Sinbad thought hard, he could not think of doing anything that would piss Ja'far off recently. Sinbad got out of bed and walked down the dark hallways, stopping at Ja'far's room to peak in. The bed was empty and it was made nicely, Ja'far had not slept in it since the last time Sinbad pissed him off. Sinbad left to keep searching. He walked to Ja'far's office and saw a dim glow from a candle.
Ja'far was sleeping at his desk, an ink quill in his hand and a bottle of spilled ink beside him. His head was resting against the table, sleeping on the tax report for Sindria.
Sinbad took the scroll and rolled it up so Ja'far could not get any more ink spilled on it.
Tax time was always rough on Ja'far, he was probably trying to pull an all-nighter to keep up with it.
Sinbad took the quill and put in back in the ink, trying to clean up the mess. He looked at the sleeping man. He picked up Ja'far, bridal style and carried him back to his quarters and laid him in bed.
Ja'far opened his silver eyes.
"Hey." Sinbad said, helping take some of Ja'far's clothing off.
Ja'far was still dazed from sleep, but when he saw Sinbad taking off his clothing, he blushed. "Thank you."
"No problem." Sinbad said and kissed Ja'far's cheek. "Thank you for helping me run Sindria." He said, taking off Ja'far's robe and started unbuttoning his undershirt.
"No sex tonight." Ja'far said strictly.
"Please?"
"No."
Ja'far took off his headpiece and laid down.
"What if I…" Sinbad tried.
"No." Ja'far cut him off.
"But if we…"
"No."
"Then can I…?"
"No."
"What if you can…?"
"Absolutely not." Ja'far said and turned his bad to Sinbad in bed.
"Please?"
Ja'far sighed and turned back around. "Let me put this in ways you understand, from the waist down, I will strangle you to death if you try to touch me."
This was Sinbad's cue to shut up. He was getting no action tonight. He cuddled up to Ja'far under the covers and kissed Ja'far's neck. "I love you."
Ja'far smiled and quickly fell back to sleep.
"Sleep well, because we are going to have a talk in the morning." Sinbad whispered and slid an engagement ring onto Ja'far's finger. He kissed Ja'far one more time and went to sleep.
