Halfway through Spring the sea storms had calmed down enough that the experienced sailors could start making short trips. Erak had explained that while the sailing season wasn't long, it was intensive enough to provide them for the rest of the year and allowed them to trade when needed with the neighbouring countries. As it turned out Erak even had a good rep with the foreign traders.

By now Erak was beginning to grow increasingly worried and possessive the closer it came to summer. When the long-distance waters opened the Araluen's would be able to cross and retrieve Will. While Will was happy and responsive, he still knew Will would follow out of loyalty and a sense of duty. He knew it wouldn't be long before the sea's cleared and they arrived.

Standing up after the servants left, Will walked across the room, shedding his clothes and slipping into the bathroom with a sly grin.

"I think I need help washing my back, among other things," the little Ranger purred as he disappeared from Erak's view.

"I think I might be able to help you with that…" Erak said in a sensuous rumble. He always enjoyed when Will became playful after an especially good day. Following his little lover and shedding his clothes as he went, Erak smirked at the shiver that ran through his panting lover's body. Slipping into the steam filled scented bath he had barely found his footing before he was assaulted by the soft warm lips that he had long become accustomed to.

"Erak…" Will breathed against the slick skin of the Skandian's neck sucking on it softly but hard enough to leave a mark.

Growling deeply Erak tilted the boy's face up and caught him in a fierce kiss. The two tongues duelled violently. Plundering the wet cavern of his lover's mouth was one of Erak's favourite pass times and it only increased when the little minx began to suckle it.

Will saw stars as his lover pushed him against the wet wall of stone. He groaned into the kiss as his legs were hiked up around the strong waist grinding their hard erections making a delicious friction between the two of them.

"Gods Erak, fuck me!" he wailed clawing at the strong back raking his nails down it lightly, barely refraining from drawing blood. The last time he had drawn Erak's blood during coupling Erak had gone into a lustful frenzy that had lasted three days!

Growling at the wanton plea Erak slipped two fingers into the tight opening. Scissoring them he thrust them in and out going deeper each time. He hooked his fingers and pressed deeply revelling in the moan that reached his ears. It was like the sweetest of siren song's.

"Tell me, tell me again Koi…Tell me that you want my cock in your tight willing hole." Erak said huskily.

Throwing his head back Will moaned long and hard wrapping his arms around Erak's neck.

"Please fuck me…fill me with your hot hard dick, gods I want you so bad it hurts…Fuck Me Already!" Will wailed grinding his hips wantonly against the slick hard body in front of him. Though in the back of his mind he wondered what Koi meant. Coming from Erak it was probably a good thing.

Quickly withdrawing his fingers Erak positioned himself at his lover's tight opening. Snapping his hips he was immediately buried balls deep in the hot channel making him groan as he was engulfed in the tight wet heat that was still trying to suck him deeper.

The green-eyed teen keened loudly thrashing his head back and forth as he felt the head of his lover's throbbing erection nudge his prostate. Locking gazes with Erak they both leaned forward sharing a heated but loving kiss. Erak being careful not to let Will's head go below the water level. Erak felt himself drowning in the lust filled gaze of his lover. The bond they had pulsed underneath their skin making the sensations they felt increase tenfold.

"Koi, you're so tight…" Erak breathed.

"Nghn Er...ak you're so big…" Will whined as he was pounded into the bath tub.

Both of them felt their joint orgasm build with each thrust. Will felt himself clench tighter around Erak's throbbing arousal.

"Will!" Erak cried spilling his essence deep within the pulsating channel, coating the walls of his lover's rectum.

Crying out his release Will felt himself spilling his seed between them. Both of them shook as they came down from the high of their orgasms semen swimming in the water around them

"I think we're going to need a fresh bath."

"I couldn't agree more!"

Will couldn't help chuckling at Erak's enthusiasm.

"By the way, what does Koi mean?"

Rolling over Will groaned as sharp needle-like pricks of pain ran up his spine. Turning his head to the side he met the amused face of his lover. Glaring Will growled as the Skandian's grin grew.

"Damn you it's not funny!" he shrieked as he limped into the bathroom.

"I beg to differ" Erak said chuckling. He always enjoyed mornings like this.

"It's your fault I'm in pain" Will hissed.

"I know!" Erak crowed proudly.

Glaring Will slammed the bathroom door and locking it, before ordering the servants to start the bath. Erak sighed to himself, flopping back onto the unmade bed while drifting off to thoughts of wild black hair and glowing chocolate orbs…

The black silk sheet contrasted heavily with the pale skin of the Ranger as he sank back against them. The larger man's body covered him as their kisses became more and more passionate. Clothing was dropped to the floor as languid caresses filled the room with sighs and moans of pleasure.

Instead of the quick hasty romp from the night before the couple explored this time around. After preparing his lover Erak pushed inside until they were connected in the most indulgent of ways.

"Erak!" Will cried out as the head of his lover's erection finally nudged his prostate.

The slow rocking motion of the Oberjarl's hips was slowly driving him insane. The pressure was amazing, but the thrusts didn't have the speed to push him over the edge. Will didn't complain because if he was going to lose his mind, this was the best way to do it.

Erak found himself enjoying the view of his lover writhing and clutching the sheets, trying not to beg. He could see Will clench and unclench the sheets with every move he made. Half lidded pools of rich chocolate pierced him to the core filling him with passion as he felt the love and devotion through their bond. But the sight of it also left him with a sense of melancholy as he knew Will would most likely leave him to go back to his homeland.

Sliding his hands down the boys now creamy pale skin, Erak grasped his lovers leaking erection firmly jerking it in time to his thrusts that were slowly increasing with speed.

The quickening of breath was the only warning as total bliss pulsed through the two lovers as they cried out their climax.

Snuggling closer to the warm body Will relaxed and rested his head on Erak's chest.

Erak lightly kissed the raven locks and wrapped his arms protectively and possessively around his sleepy lover. Both drifted off satisfied that they were loved.

After successfully calming his lover down after Gilan had terrified him with a spider, Erak revelled in the feel of the silky smooth skin that was his to touch. The paleness was not unhealthy, but it did give Will an ethereal quality unlike any he had ever seen. He entwined their hands resting them in Will's lap.

The scent of mint and lavender met his nose along with the underlying smell of vanilla. Secretly he loved knowing that his little lover was unclaimed before him, and would belong to him and him alone if he had any say in the matter.

Shaking his head to clear the thoughts that infused his conscience with perverseness without his permission he chuckled.

"What?" Will asked.

"Just pondering how in a matter of seconds you have managed to make me utterly barbaric." Erak said smiling softly as he kissed Will's hair again.

"What are you talking about?" he said tiredly, cocking his head to the side questioningly. All he was doing was sitting in Erak's lap after all.

Something inside him roared at the naïve innocence that Will emitted. Even if he knew Will was no longer that innocent.

"I have to quell my desires to take you and ravish you here and now on the floor with our friends a mere few feet away in the other room." He purred suggestively in Will ear, softly pulling some of Will's hair as he did so.

BANG!

The door suddenly opened and the pair on the floor looked up at the two newcomers, one bemused while the other whose temper seemed to rise quickly at the sight of their close proximity.

Horace felt himself losing control as he took in his blushing soon to be lover seated on the lap of a man more than five years older. The lewd look that had yet to make its way off Erak's face only fuelled the fire.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO WILL?!" Horace roared.

Erak winced while Will started to shake at the loud noise. Noticing his lover's status Erak tightened his grip reassuringly as he squeezed the small hands in his own, preparing to tear the insolent brat a new one, only to see that the old Ranger had dragged the twerp out of the room before he could even start.

Picking Will up he headed through the back room to lay Will down for a much needed nap while he dealed with the interlopers. After he had laid the tired Ranger down he went to fetch Borsa and Rhea. They had plans to make.

When the ship was prepared to set off back in Araluen Halt had hardly surprised to find young Horace demanding to travel to Skandia with him again. Halt knew the Oberjarl wouldn't be happy to see the youngster or him again but he was still Will's friend. What Halt wasn't expecting was for Horace to go off like that the minute they stepped through the door! The Oberjarl looked ready to commit murder; treaty or no treaty. While Will just looked like he wanted to bolt. Gilan looked upset while his friend also looked to be contemplating their murder. It was going to be a long evening.

"I am sorry for Horace's unorthodox entrance. But we have come to retrieve Will and Gilan and return them to Araluen." He noticed as he spoke that Gilan wasn't particularly happy at this news, while Will just seemed resigned and Horace looked smug. The Skandian's still just looked murderous.

"What if they have no wish to return? What if they wish to remain? Do they have no say in this!" Gilan's friend jumped to his feet before Gilan then dragged him back down while remaining stubbornly silent. He knew what the consequences of refusing to return were. Had seen the punishment performed with his own eyes.

"I'm afraid if they do not return the King will label them as traitors and unlike Knights, order they be executed." He hadn't told Will any of this; it was normally reserved until the night before a Ranger received their Silver Oak Leaf and asked if they still wish to remain in the Corps. He knew Gilan knew there was much more to the punishment then what he was saying, but that information was reserved for full Rangers only. Even though Will hadn't agreed the King has already made him a full Ranger, all he needed to complete was for the initiation ceremony to be performed. The mutinous looks he was receiving from the Skandian's and Will were still amusing despite the situation.

"I don't mean to be rude to Will or Erak but I really don't want to go. You knew that didn't you? When you made me your 'Plus One' for this meeting?" one of the servants had arrived that morning to inform them of the place and time, but that his attendance was optional.

"I don't want to go either. So I'm dragging you down with me."

"Hey!"

As Gilan dragged a protesting Rhea through the halls to the appointed meeting room, he felt nervous about their predicament. He REALLY liked Rhea and didn't actually want to leave but knew he had to. Hopefully Will's huby would figure out something so they could all have their way. Even if it was currently only one way.
