Chapter 10: Masters and servants

Jou felt bad. Not only was he unable to find Yugi, but the day was almost at it's end. With an annoyed sigh the blond youth looked at the darkened sky outside the window. He couldn't stay there longer. He finished his task and there was nothing more he needed to do. With all common sense he should return back to Azizi. Maybe next time he would have more luck and get to see his little friend. Right now there was nothing else for him in the palace. Except…

"Looks like some stray mutt found his way back!" the snickered comment made Jou's blood boil in instant. With one swift move he turned around only to see one fine piece of asshole. All instruction from Azizi about not pissing off the priest went straight out the window.

"Well it's not my fault that you are the kind of person who forgets what the hell he ordered yesterday!" snapped Jou and glared at the high priest. Seth's eye twitched at such disrespectfulness. But than again it was Azizi's mutt he was dealing with. With elegance and grace Seth walked between bookshelves towards the untamed dog.

"One of these days you are going to get yourself into very serious trouble, mutt!"

"One of these days there will be a true miracle and you will stop pissing people off!" Jou snapped back. Seth's eyes grew wide when he heard that snapped answer. If it weren't below him the priest would have beat the shit out of the honey-eyed boy. Instead of that he hit the nearest shelf with his clenched fist and leaned closer to Jou.

"You stupid little,…" Seth started but quickly stopped. Both of them noticed one thing. The shelf that the priest hit was falling on them and both of them knew how heavy it was.

Yugi was silently lying in his master's arms. Never in his wildest dreams would he think that somebody would kiss him like the pharaoh did. It tasted sweet, yet bitterly so. To Yugi it felt like the pharaoh was fighting something in himself. Something deep and painful. Every emotion the small boy could feel from that room suddenly gave a sense.

The ruler of Egypt was lonely. So terribly lonely that he was losing himself in darkness of despair. Yugi slowly moved his hands behind Yami's head only to run his fingers through the silky hair. Yugi gave in and let it happen. He could be a mere servant and nothing more but Yugi desperately wanted to help the pharaoh.

The pharaoh's tongue was circling in his mouth and it made him feel absolutely weak. Even though he was half delirious, somehow Yugi could feel the warm and smooth hand roaming around his body. Never, in his entire life, had Yugi wanted to be touched so badly.

Yami's firm lips moved from Yugi's swollen ones and gave a long lick along the smaller boy's neck. Yugi burst into giggles. Yami chuckled when he heard that. Slowly, the pharaoh lifted his head and looked into the sparkling amethyst eyes. He desperately wanted something from that boy but wasn't sure what it was. It wasn't only lust for the fragile body. It was something deeper and hardly understood. But he would give up on anything just to have it.

"I hadn't known how sensitive you are, little one." Yami's voice purred into Yugi's ear. The smaller boy was panting heavily, trying hard to speak up.

"My … pharaoh, this … this is ... I … "

"What it is?" asked Yami while he continued his kiss-licking on the poor boy's neck.

"Inappropriate? … good? … arousing?" the ruler's voice dropped into seductive whisper and Yugi swallowed hard when he heard it. The pharaoh was making him feel so good yet vulnerable.

"Pharaoh, … please…"

"Please what, little one?" the evident lust in Yami's voice was now even stronger.

"Please stop!"

It was as if a cold blade of a sharp dagger pierced Yami's heart. For a moment he was so caught in his desires that he truly thought that Yugi would want what he himself did. The pharaoh completely forgot that the boy was still scared of him. In that silent whisper he heard Yugi's fear and insecurity.

Yami slowly pulled off and kissed the boy's forehead.

"I'm sorry, little one. I let myself to be carried away. Please forgive me."

Yugi wanted him to continue but he was still too scared. He was now returning from half way to heaven but managed to smile.

"I'm sorry, my pharaoh, but your leg…"

Yami started laughing. The angel was amazing. The way he made him feel, like the only important person in the world, was incredibly warming. Especially when he knew that the boy was honest. The pharaoh laid his head on the boy's chest and silently listened to the heart beat.

"Thank you, Yugi…" the pharaoh whispered, "for coming into my life."

Seth groaned when he felt the pain struck in the back of his head. Obviously he hit the spot when he fell down. That damned bookshelf was heavier than he thought. The memories were slowly returning to him and it made his head hurt even more.

He remembered the shelf's fall and then…

The priest's eyes widened.

Of course! The shelf started falling but that stupid dog pushed me on the floor. That's how I hit my head.

Finally, Seth realized that he was laying under the blonde boy who was currently unconscious. With difficulty he managed to summon small amount of magic to get rid of the shelf still imprisoning them both under it.

As he lay on the floor Seth realized that the boy on his chest made him feel quite comfortable… and guilty. After all, it was truly the priest's fault. Without thinking Seth ran his fingers through the wild golden mane. The feeling of guilt hit him in a new wave when he noticed the blood on his hand.

With his head still spinning, Seth slowly got up and picked up Jou. He didn't know why the boy tried to shield him like that but the priest didn't want to be ungrateful… no matter what.

"Jou, you saved Seth! That was really brave of you!" Yugi was sitting on Seth's bed where his friend was currently deposited. It wasn't long ago that he learned about what happened the day before. It freaked him out to know the circumstances in which the blond got hurt.

"As if. I simply tripped and fell on that stiff-assed priest." Jou tried to sound as nonchalant as possible but it didn't work. Yugi giggled and threw a nervous glance at the priest. Seth's eye twitched when he heard the blonde's answer. For some reason it was pissing him off.

"Stupid dog!"

"I'M NOT A DOG, DAMN IT!"

"Than stop barking at better people."

"I have never barked at Yugi!" replied Jou with victorious smile. The small boy held up his hands.
"Keep me out of this. I don't want to be put in the middle of your fights."

"We weren't fighting!"

"Of course not," snorted Seth, "I don't bully animals."

Jou turned his head at the priest and frowned. With the bandages around his head it looked quite ridiculous. Seth smirked and looked so damn smug that it was making Jou even angrier.

"Before you two jump into another fight I have to go. I promised the pharaoh that I would meet him soon." Yugi quickly hugged his friend and with a wave of his hand disappeared from the room. He could hardly stifle the giggle that was about to break from him. It couldn't be helped, the whole incident was simply too funny. Well, not the fact that his friend got himself almost killed by a bookshelf but the priest insisting on having the boy treated in his own room until he gets better. Especially, since it took about two seconds for them to start arguing.

Still half laughing Yugi ran into the gardens, which were secluded next to the pharaoh's chambers and looked around for the ruler. He found him near the pond, which was full of golden fish.

Yami turned his head when he heard giggling. The sight of Yugi trying to contain his joy was incredible. More than anything else the pharaoh wished to simply throw the boy on the ground and make him his. When the smaller boy got closer, Yami raised on fine eyebrow.

"What is so funny?"

"Jou … pant and … pant Seth." Managed Yugi say before he started laughing fully. The crimson-eyed man joined him at that thought. When Yugi calmed down he sat down next to the pharaoh, mirth still shining through his eyes.

"What are you doing?" Yugi spotted few scrolls and frowned. "You weren't working, were you?"

"No, just relaxing!" answered Yami quickly. Too quickly. In flash Yugi snatched a scroll lying nearby and read first few words. He pouted in disagreement.

"You were working!" he said accusingly. "Pharaoh, you promised to relax."

"This is relaxing." Yami tried desperately reasure Yugi. He didn't understand. He was the ultimate ruler of Egypt, yet, this small boy he adored so much made him feel completely different with only one look.

"The report of the state of your army is relaxing! You must be kidding me!"

Deciding that he didn't like the look of disappointment on the boy's face, Yami got up and helped Yugi as well. Without another word the pharaoh led the smaller one back to the chambers. While Yugi spent the whole day with his injured friend, Yami was in the garden, not realizing how cold it got at dusk. Not until now. Back in the bedchamber the oil lamps were already lit up even though the red light of twilight was still illuminating the whole room.

The guilt shot trough the pharaoh's body when he saw Yugi defiantly kneeling on the bed, the crossness obvious from his posture. Though Yami knew that it was half faked he couldn't help himself but to feel responsible. After all, he DID promise Yugi to relax and try not to hurt his leg even more. With a heavy sigh he sat down on a nearby chair and looked at Yugi. Immediately he frowned when he saw Yugi's small form shaking.

Yugi didn't feel well. The moment they came back to the chamber he felt attached to something partly irresistible. Something in the room was nagging at his conscious and every moment more he could feel it was affecting his body as well. It was a little uncomfortable at first but than it started increase to the point that he couldn't notice anything from his surrounding … not even Yami.

The pressure building in his body was increasing and suddenly, with shame and embarrassment, Yugi understood what it was. … Lust.

He couldn't stand it. Never before had Yugi felt such desire and need. The emotions imprinted in the room were mercilessly attacking his body and torturing him to the stake of insanity. It was uncontrollable and sudden.

Yami was watching him with a deep interest. The pharaoh could see the flushed cheeks and obvious embarrassment. Whatever was happening to that boy it made the older one aroused and excited at the same time. He could feel himself hardening when he watched the boy, panting and trying to figure out what was going on. The sight was incredibly arousing.

Yugi tried to fight what was going on with him. His mind was forcefully pushing away the need of his body but it was in vain. He was fully aware of the pharaoh watching him intently. The obvious lust in Yami's eyes was making the whole situation worse. But ... he couldn't bear with it. From Yugi's lips escaped a moan and his eyes closed.

With a sudden realization Yami understood. HE desired the boy. HE was lusting after him. And finally HIS need to have this boy was imprinted into the walls of his room. The emotions HE felt were now affecting Yugi in a way he never dreamed of. Yami stopped thinking.

"Touch yourself!"

The voice of Yami was low and husky when he snapped. He knew that it was his fault, what was happening to Yugi, but he couldn't help it. The boy kneeling on his bed was the most erotic sight of his life. A carnal lust took over the pharaoh's mind. Yugi was unable to resist the command in his master's voice. Still half fighting what was happening to him, the delicate hands slid slowly under the white kilt and between his legs. A keening half moan, half cry went through his lips when his fingers brushed over his hardened need. He could feel every drop of sweat on his face.

Losing his battle with himself, Yugi wrapped his hand around his member fully. His moans became louder and deeper. Delicate fingers were slowly working their way over the tip to the base of his member, torturing the boy with pleasure. Yugi's head fell back when another loud escaped his throat.

It wasn't that he would be completely inexperienced but knowing that Yami was there and watching the whole thing made him feel completely embarrased. He needed to get these feelings of need out of his system, but it was hard in front of another person. With clenched teeth he kept his eyes closed and face turned toward the ceiling while his hands worked the building pleasure. Yugi was sure that in no time he would release, and his face was burning from the thought of the pharaoh watching him.

Yugi was so drowned in pleasure, need, and shame that he didn't notice the pharaoh who sneaked behind him and wrapped his arms around the small body, firmly discarding the white kilt. Yugi's first urge was to tense but the warm body gently pressing against him was too comfortable. Yugi whimpered in protest when his hands were removed. His eyes snapped open when he felt larger hand covering his trembling member, picking up where his hands left off.

It was unbearable. Yugi let his head fall on Yami's shoulder while the older one was bringing him to release. Except for jewellery, the small boy was lying naked in his master's embrace, but the uneasiness was disappearing in the waves of pleasure. He knew that Yami was torturing him on purpose. The pharaoh brought him on the edge of climax only to slow down and continue a moment later. Yugi's cries echoed in the room, mixed with quiet sobs.

"My pharaoh, please…"

"Please what, little one?"

"I can't…"

Yami kissed Yugi's open lips in understanding. As gently as he could Yami lowered Yugi's body on the bed. Moving himself between Yugi's shaking legs he took the boy's member into his mouth. Never had anything sounded so heavenly to Yami than Yugi's sharp cry ripping through the room.

Yugi's whole body was consumed by a fever he didn't understand. Everything the pharaoh was doing to him was making him feel incredible, yet he felt ashamed for being in such situation in the first place. A small part of him wanted to cry in helplessness, but every lick and every kiss Yami performed on him was shoving these thoughts aside.

If anything else happens I'm sure that I won't be able to stop it!

The warm lips around Yugi's member almost painfully encircled the base. Yami knew that the boy couldn't last much longer. And he was right about that. The seemingly fragile body tensed, and with a loud cry Yugi released. Yami's head was overwhelmed with dizziness; the boy had no idea how delicious he was.

Sensuously slowly Yami rose up and kissed Yugi's navel before crawling next to him. The fragile chest was moving quickly up and down in the rhythm of rasping pants. It was easy to see how exhausted the boy was. Yami took the heavenly treasure into his arms and stole a quick kiss.

He would make Yugi his tonight. It was a promise he gave to himself.

Ok, after a looooong pause I'm back here with a new chaper. I'm sorry for the delay but I didn't have time or mood for writing anything. Hopefully the next chapter will be posted sooner since I've already started to write it. As usual my big thanks to Abi2 for being beta to this baby, thanks honey!

Also thanks to all who reviewed. It means a lot to me.
