Drabble – No Power On Earth
Alexander was sitting on his new throne. He was now the King, newly elected and surveying his kingdom. The celebration was spread out in front of him and he was more than a little excited and proud.
He looked to his right and his nerves began too calm. Hephaestion was sitting on a couch near him. He felt Alexander's glance and returned it with a shy smile. Alexander's stomach turned over completely and started a heat that slowly made its way down his body.
Alexander drew his attention back to the center of the room, his head might have turned forward but his mind was still hopelessly lost to the right. He wondered to himself if he would always feel the thrill he got when he looked at Hephaestion. He had always considered Hephaestion a gift from the gods. He truly was a sight to behold. The complete picture was amazing but if one were to analyze each part, it was even better.
Starting at the top was a magnificent head of hair, brown in color with golden highlights. His face was kissed with beauty, eyes and eyelashes that any woman would hope to own and the color of blue Alexander had never seen before. His nose was smaller than most men, a thing many teased him about, but the shape of it was perfect for the rest of his face. Lips made for kissing, something Alexander did often. His neck was all muscle and silkiness, begging to be attended too.
The throne room began to get warmer as Alexander continued in his thoughts. The body below the magnificent head was made to be loved, from the chest to the firm tummy to the long shapely legs and everything in between. The between part was one of Alexander's favorites. Alexander crossed his legs and tried to concentrate on something other than the wonderful vision on his right, hoping the party ended soon.
After several hours the party finally wound down. Alexander motioned for Hephaestion to follow him. A few minutes later found them on the new kings balcony.
"Did you enjoy your party, my King?"
"Don't call me that." Stated Alexander, "I want you to always call me Alexander."
Hephaestion looked at him for a few minutes before he said, "Aye, my Alexander."
He said it the way he always did, making Alexander's heart sing.
"I am having one problem I have to overcome now that I am King."
"Can I help?"
"I'm afraid you are the source of the problem. You see, whenever I look at you I become aroused and it is embarrassing to be in front of all of your subjects with the royal scepter in full view for everyone to see."
Hephaestion laughed, his face full of love as he took Alexander's hand and squeezed it. "Maybe I should stay out of your sight?"
Alexander grabbed a hold of Hephaestion and pulled him close. "Never, never leave my sight, I couldn't bear it." He whispered in Hephaestion's ear. "I can be the King, lead the people, conquer new lands but I can't do it alone. I need you beside me; you are my strength and my passion. Promise me that you will never leave me, promise me, please?"
"No power on earth could separate me from you, my Alexander, I promise. I will stay with you till you no longer need me or want me."
"That time will never come, my beautiful Phai."
Hephaestion stayed with Alexander until he could no longer hold on, then he went to wait for him on the other side.
