Summary: Heero is the eldest son of the King of Colonia. His 21st birthday is approaching and as tradition dictates his betrothed is soon to arrive. However he is also bound by tradition to select his own personal slave. The events that unfold lead him down a path that not only tests his sanity but his humanity and love as well.
Author's Note: This fic was started back in 2004 and has languished on my hard drive ever since, only sporadically being added to when I have the time (and the muse the inclination) . Updates will be far between, but rest assured, it will be finished. Feed back is most welcome as are honest critiques. Flames will be dealt with as I deal with all flames – with sarcasm.
Commenced July 2004 – published January 2008
Apologies for the delay... This chapter just didn't want to sit right and after several re-writes I'm over it. If I fiddle with it anymore you'll never get the damn thing. Still not all that happy with it, but it works better than it did. Oh, and remember that last little twist I said Fred had waiting for you all...?
"Bound, Bonded and Betrayed"
Chapter 75
Violet eyes blinked open, staring directly into amused blue. "Good morn, master," Duo greeted, barely managing to hold the yawn.
"Good morn, Duo," the prince replied and once his slave had finished yawning, he dove in for a kiss. "It is going to be a fine day," the prince announced with a smile.
Duo snuggled deeper into the strong arms that surrounded him. "It will be a wonderful day, master," he agreed happily.
"That it will my beautiful slave." Heero partook of another kiss, this one a little deeper than before, the desire rising deep in his gut as he explored the sweet mouth of his slave.
"Ah, master," Duo moaned, his body heating deliciously with his prince's ministrations.
"You are simply delectable, Duo and I can't get enough of you," Heero groaned and gently thrust his hips against Duo's thigh. "I have need of your delightful body, will you grace me with this gift?"
"I am yours, master; yours to do with as you wish," Duo replied, his tone husky with need.
"Ah, I know you are mine, Duo, but I want you to be a willing participant in this," Heero said softly, gently running his tongue along the shell of Duo's ear.
"I am always willing, master," Duo replied without hesitation. "Please, take me, master."
"Oh gods," Heero ground out, fighting a losing battle with his carnal desire. He pushed Duo gently to his back, another hiss of air escaping his lungs when Duo immediately spread his legs for him. His eyes paused for a moment to take in the sight of his lovely slave. Skin flushed with arousal and completely bare to his gaze, Duo lay there like a fallen angel.
His fallen angel.
Reaching for the bottle of oil that sat permanently on the night table, Heero was quick to coat his fingers and stretch his slave for their joining. The delicious sounds that Duo was making as Heero stretched him sent his blood racing through his veins and the ache between his legs intensifying. It had been far too long since Heero had partaken of his slave's heat and he was desperate to be seated once more inside that warm channel and hear the wanton cries fall from his slave's lips.
Removing his fingers and quickly coating his shaft, Heero positioned himself above his slave and prepared to enter the slender youth. "Forgive me if I cause you any discomfort, but I cannot wait any longer," Heero whispered, his desperation to be seated inside his slave overruling every other thought process.
"Claim me, master," Duo responded, pushing his hips upwards to meet his master's.
With a soft cry, Heero sent caution to the winds and pushed forth. His control was completely shattered, carnal lust and instinct taking over as he sank deep into Duo's willing body. Once he was as far inside as he could get, the prince paused and tried desperately to hold onto his sanity. Duo's passage was hot and tight, enticing him to thrust with abandon, but Heero managed to retain some shred of control and made his reluctant body wait and give the slave time to adjust.
There was a little discomfort, but no pain as his master entered him. Duo was eager to have his master take him again, he'd missed their intimate contact and whilst he'd been appreciative of his master's concern for his healing body at the time, he was once again in perfect health and more than ready to serve his master in all ways. He adjusted quickly to their joining and began to flex his anal muscles when it became apparent that his master was waiting for some sign from him that he was ready for him to move.
"Ahhh, Duo," the prince moaned as the already tight passage that surrounded him became even tighter.
"Please, master," Duo begged, his blood on fire as the excitement within him began to build.
Heero groaned and began to withdraw only to push back in seconds later. As his slave beneath him began to adjust further, the prince sped up his thrusts. Very soon he was slamming into his slave with wild abandon, the soft cries of pleasure, the moans and wanton begging for more pushing his desire to greater heights. He angled his hips slightly and found that magical spot deep within his slave.
"Master!" Duo shouted as his prostate was plundered ruthlessly. Every inward plunge sent his pleasure spiraling higher, his body alive with sensation and desperate to find the pinnacle. "More, master, more," he demanded.
Sweat began to run freely over the skin of the prince, his body fairly thrumming with pleasure. He could honestly say he'd never reached these heights of arousal with Relena; but then Relena had never shown any interest in making love, she'd just seen it as an unpleasant side duty to her marriage and simply lay there, let Heero do all the work and grumble for him to get it over with as quickly as possible. But Duo...
He'd taken a gamble that day in the woods, and whilst the journey thus far had suffered through its ups and downs, he could honestly say he'd never been happier than when with his slave. Duo was more than just a slave to Heero, he'd proven himself time and time again and the only regret Heero had was that he hadn't found Duo earlier.
Feeling his own end rapidly approaching, Heero began to thrust with abandon. Duo's face was twisted in ecstasy, the slave clearly just barely hanging onto his orgasm. "Come for me, Duo," the prince whispered and watched as his beautiful slave obeyed.
The words were music to Duo's ears, his body singing with pleasure as his master repeatedly hit his sweet spot. He was barely hanging onto his orgasm as it was and when his master told him to come, Duo eagerly surrendered to the passion. He didn't need to touch himself for his orgasm to claim him, the movement of his master's body, the pleasure it caused were more than enough for him to reach his end. With a cry that came from deep within his belly, Duo gave in to the welcome release. His cock swelled, the friction between their bodies sending him plummeting over the edge and his seed shooting forth to coat both their bellies and groins.
With that delightful heat pulsing around his length, it was all Heero could do to hang onto his control long enough to watch his slave as Duo reached his completion. His slave's face twisted and contorted with pleasure as his orgasm took him, the heat of it exploding between them and Heero swore he'd never seen a more beautiful sight than Duo in the throes of his climax.
When Duo's body began to slow in its shaking, Heero began to thrust faster and harder, determined to reach his own end and join his slave in nirvana. It only took a few more thrusts before the familiar warmth began to travel from his belly, through his groin and overwhelm him with both the pleasure and intensity of his climax. Heero cried out as his seed left his cock to be buried deep inside Duo's passage, his thrusts became erratic, his sensitive organ supplying him with further, mind blowing pleasure as the waves crashed over him.
Once his passion was spent, Heero collapsed against his slave, body desperately drawing air into starved lungs as he tried to recover from one of the most intense orgasms of his young life. Gradually his brain began to return, sweat cooling on his skin making the prince shiver slightly and he automatically drew his slave closer to him. "Are you okay?" Heero asked his slave.
"I'm perfectly fine, master," Duo replied and gave the prince a warm smile.
"Thank you, Duo, that was...intense."
"I enjoyed it very much, master," Duo chuckled.
"How is your back? I didn't hurt you in any way, did I?" The concern was clear in the prince's tone.
"No, master, you did not hurt me at all." Duo snuggled a little closer.
Nuzzling the top of Duo's head, Heero reluctantly began to pull away a little. "We have much to do today, Duo and whilst I would dearly love to remain here in bed with you, I'm afraid we cannot. The sun is almost fully up, we have breakfast to partake of and a festival to attend. Go through to the bathing chamber and prepare the bath. You will bathe with me this morn."
"As you wish, master. Would you have me set out your clothing first?" Duo asked as he began to pull away from his master, a soft hissing following seconds later as a few layers of skin tried to leave his body.
Heero snickered. "I fear we may be glued together permanently if we don't move soon," he said with a pointed look at their bellies where Duo's semen had begun to cool and stick them together.
"That could be a problem, master," Duo replied with a smile. "I have a solution though." He reached to the night stand and managed to pick up the cloth from within the basin of water that resided there. Gently he plied the cloth to their skin, wiping away most of the evidence of their joining and freeing them both.
"Thank you, Duo," Heero sighed. "Do not worry about setting out my formal wear just yet. Simple, everyday clothes will suffice for now. I will change a little later into my formal robes as I have a few things to deal with first. You may change into your formal attire later too as I will need your assistance in a few matters first."
"As you wish, master."

"Good morn, Miri," the prince greeted as he swept into the nursery. "How are you and my son on this fine morn?"
Miri curtsied when the prince strode in. "Good morn, Sire. I am fine as is the young prince. He has been fed and bathed and is currently napping."
"Good. I have Duo bringing the clothing that Odin is to wear for the festival."
"Thank you, Sire. Do you have any special instructions for today, Sire?"
"Just a couple of things," Heero replied, looking into the crib where the new prince lay sleeping. A smile crossed his lips as he took in the innocent face of the babe. He straightened up and looked to the nanny. "People will begin gathering for the festival in a couple of candle marks. After three candle marks my parents, brother, and myself will make our appearance upon the special platform that has been built just outside the castle walls. I would have you wait just behind the platform with my son until I call for him. Catherine will assist you to get Prince Odin ready and will be with you behind the platform. Once the formalities are over with I will give my son back to you and you are welcome to join myself and my family to mingle with the people and enjoy the festival. Catherine will remain with you the entire time and Duo will also assist when necessary. The Captain of the guard will have many of the royal guard scattered around and will also personally accompany us so you need not fear for yours or my son's safety."
"I understand, Sire. A question if I may?"
"Of course, Miri."
"When the young prince requires feeding or is tired may I bring him back here to the nursery?"
"Of course. If Odin is sleeping I can have one of the maids stay with him so you may return to the celebrations and spend some time with your husband enjoying the festivities."
"Thank you, Sire. That is most generous of you," Miri said, a big smile on her face.
"Ah, Duo," Heero said as the slave knocked softly and entered the room, dropping to his knees immediately after closing the door.
"I have brought the clothing you requested for Prince Odin, master."
"Thank you, Duo." Heero took the clothing from the slave and passed the items over to the nanny. "I will send Catherine through shortly to assist you and once we are ready for the announcements I will send Duo to fetch you both."
"Thank you, Sire." Miri took the offered clothing, looking it over with a smile on her face. "We will be ready."
"I will see you later at the festivities. If you have any problems, send Catherine to find me." With one last check on his son, Heero left the nursery, Duo right behind him.

The sun was shining brightly, a light breeze blowing, stalls were all set up and the people of Colonia began flocking to the castle grounds. There was an air of joy and happiness amongst the crowds, all happy to be present and a part of sharing in their Royal family's celebration of the birth of the new prince.
Duo looked out nervously to the crowds milling about the grounds.
"Don't worry so much."
Duo whirled around, ready to drop to his knees when he realized the person speaking was Quatre.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Quatre apologized.
"That's okay," Duo replied, "I should have been paying more attention and not daydreaming."
"What has you so worried?"
"There's a lot of people out there."
"You've been in bigger crowds, Duo. The prince's wedding for one."
"I know and I know I shouldn't be worried, but I'm not worried for me, I'm worried something might happen to young Prince Odin," Duo replied.
"The new prince will be perfectly fine, Duo. He has Miri and Catherine with him at all times and the Royal Guard are scattered everywhere. They won't let anything bad befall the new prince," Quatre reassured.
"I know they won't, but...I just can't shake the feeling of unease."
"We don't have time to dwell on it now, Duo. Trust in the Captain and his guards, they will keep everyone safe. Come now, we have our masters to dress and ready for the festivities and we need to change ourselves first."
Nodding, Duo tore his gaze away from the grounds, shoved the uneasy feeling to the back of his mind and followed Quatre back to the slave quarters to change in readiness.

"Thank you, Duo," Heero said as he smoothed his cape and took a quick appraisal of his form. He certainly looked every inch the heir to the throne in his regal clothes. Picking up his hat, he turned to his kneeling slave. "You look very handsome, Duo," he praised, a warm smile on his lips as he took in the visage of his slave. Duo was dressed in a fine, satiny purple vest and leggings, white shirt underneath and gold slippers on his feet. His hair was neatly braided and Quatre had taken a little time to weave some gold and purple thread amongst the chestnut strands.
Duo blushed lightly with the praise. "Not as handsome as you, master."
"Come, we will meet with my parents in the sitting room." Heero moved towards the door, Duo rising and crossing the room gracefully to open it for him.
"Duo, go to the nursery and have Miri, Catherine and my son join us in the sitting room please," Heero requested as he stepped out into the hallway.
"As you wish, master," Duo replied and hurried off in the direction of the nursery.
With a smile still on his face, Heero continued on his way to the sitting room.

"The festivities are well underway and I think it is time we made our appearance to the people and introduce the new Prince," King Treize stated.
The Royal family, slaves and nanny began to rise and make their way from within the castle to the grounds and awaiting platform. The Royal guard escorted them the short distance, the crowds parting to let them pass through where they were gathered around the platform. Trumpeters sounded their instruments, heralding the arrival of the King, Queen and Princes. As the family stepped up onto the platform, Miri, Catherine and Prince Odin were escorted just to the rear of the platform by Captain Chang. Queen Une, Prince Heero and Prince Trowa all moved to stand towards the back of the platform, Quatre and Duo dropping to their knees beside their respective masters and leaving the front of the platform free for the King to address the subjects.
The trumpets sounded their last note and were tucked to the sides of their musicians, the crowds fell silent as the King stepped up and swept his gaze over the sea of faces before him. Clearing his throat, he raised his hands and began to address the crowd.
"My lords, ladies, gentlemen and loyal subjects, it is with great joy and pleasure I invite you all here today to join with us in celebrating the safe and happy arrival of a new prince into the Royal family..."
From his place kneeling beside his master, Duo's ears only took in some of what the King was saying. His heart was full of love and admiration for the man he called his master and he was determined to be on his very best behavior and make his prince proud of him. Keeping his head bowed he let his eyes peruse the crowds, a feeling of relief settling over him when all he saw were looks of love and support for the Royal family on the many faces. He also noted the presence of the many palace guards scattered around, just as Quatre had said they would be.
The King finished his speech and the crowd cheered and applauded. The cheers took on a much greater volume as Heero stepped forward to make his speech, Duo remaining where he was and feeling his heart swell further at the imposing figure his master cut.
Heero raised his hands, calling for quiet amongst the crowds and once they fell silent, he took a deep breath and steeled himself to make the speech he'd rehearsed so much over the past few sunrises. "The people of Colonia, I thank you all for turning out on such a lovely day to make my new son and future heir so welcome in your hearts and lives..."
The Prince kept his speech reasonably short, thanking the subjects for their well wishes and many gifts bestowed upon his son. He briefly told them that the Princess had returned to Sanq to be with her ill father and would remain there for the foreseeable future. With those pleasantries out of the way, he motioned to Duo who rose and stepped back off the rear of the platform to assist Miri with the young Prince and bringing him onto the platform to meet the people.
Miri walked over to the Prince and handed the baby over to him, then she stepped back to stand beside Duo.
"The people of Colonia, meet my son, Prince Odin." Pulling the blanket back from the baby's face, Heero faced the child to the crowd and slowly walked the full length of the platform, allowing everyone to catch a glimpse of the new Prince.
The cheers of approval rose to almost deafening, the people all exclaiming what a lovely child he was and how proud they were to have a new prince in their Kingdom.
Having walked the platform a few times and feeling the baby starting to get a little restless, Heero moved towards Miri who stepped forth and took the child from her prince. With his arms now free, Heero turned back to the crowd and addressed them once more.
"People of Colonia, please join us in the festivities. Eat, drink and enjoy the many forms of entertainment as we celebrate this wondrous occasion together!"
The crowd roared its approval once more and slowly began to disperse away from the platform.
The Royals all gathered together behind the platform, Miri checking that Odin was okay and didn't need changing, Catherine right by her side and offering her assistance.
"Excellent speech, my son," the King approved, clapping Heero on the back.
"Yes, it was a very good speech, Heero," Queen Une praised.
"Thank you. I wasn't sure how it would appeal to the people, but it seems to have gone down well enough," Heero replied with a shy smile.
"I did tell you it would be fine," Prince Trowa teased. "Now you have no excuse to get out of delivering all the speeches you will have to make in the future."
"Yes, I know, but I still hate making speeches," Heero groused.
Trowa just laughed.
"Why don't you all go and mingle with the people, stroll around and enjoy the festivities," the King said.
"That, is an excellent idea, father," Heero said with a look to his brother.
"I agree," Trowa said. "Come, Quatre, I'm feeling a little peckish and there was a delicious smell coming from one of the stalls." With a nod to his father, Trowa began to move off. "You coming, Heero?"
"If you would care to wait one moment." Heero turned to Miri and Catherine. "Would you like to take Odin back to the nursery or would you prefer to take a wander around?"
Checking the child once again, Miri smiled. "I think it might be best to start to make our way back to the castle and take the little one back to the nursery, his next feed will be due soon and he will require a nap afterwards."
"Then may I suggest you take a slightly longer route back to the castle to enable you to see some of the activities? My brother and I will accompany you part of the way." Heero said with a look towards his brother.
Trowa nodded. "I would enjoy the young nanny's company," he said with a smile.
"Thank you, my Prince, that would be most acceptable." With Catherine's help, Miri wrapped the child a little more securely in his blanket. "We're ready, Sire."
With Miri and his son between himself and Trowa, the group moved off and into the crowds, Quatre, Catherine and Duo following behind.
# # #
The entire grounds of the castle had been transformed, everywhere you looked there were stalls selling food or wares ranging from home spun cloth to pots and pans. There was entertainment everywhere, minstrels wandering around singing and playing their musical instruments, acrobats performing gymnastic feats and then there was the hand to hand combat demonstrations. The small group paused by the side of the ring that had been set up to watch Captain Chang show off his skills.
"He is so light and graceful," Miri remarked, watching the Captain all but dancing on the spot as his opponent tried to land a blow.
"That he is," Trowa commented, "But he is also deadly."
"He's a very fair and just fighter, whether it be with bare hands or with a weapon," Heero added.
"No wonder he is in such an honorable position for one so young," Miri stated.
Quatre and Duo had to agree. Duo had never seen the Captain in action before, but he'd heard a lot about the man from Quatre and listening in on conversations between his master and Prince Trowa. Now he could see for himself just how good the Captain was and he found himself in awe of the man.
Having watched Wufei dispose of two opponents, they decided to move on, winding their way through the people, many of whom offered their congratulations to the Prince as they passed through the crowd.
The sound of thundering hooves, clashing of metal and cheering greeted their ears and roused the curiosity of the nanny.
"My Prince, may I ask what is happening over there?" Miri questioned.
"That would be the jousting tournament," Heero replied with a smile. "It's very exciting, dangerous and takes a lot of skill. Would you like to watch some of it?"
"I've never seen jousting before, Sire."
"Then come, let us watch for a while."
They moved across to where the jousting was taking place, the crowds parting to allow the princes to move beside the ropes and have an unhindered view.
Duo hadn't seen jousting before either and once he saw what was involved, he shuddered. It looked pretty dangerous to him. Two horses, knights on their backs carrying long lances, galloped flat out at each other down opposite sides of a barrier. The aim was to try and knock your opponent from the saddle. Duo didn't know how they did it, he had enough problems trying to stay on his mount when galloping, never mind trying to knock someone else off their horse!
The horses seemed to be enjoying the matches just as much as the crowds and knights. They pranced and danced around on their hind legs, nostrils flaring red, eyes bright with excitement as they waited for the signal to go. Once the knight gave his mount its head, the horse thundered down the side of the partition, ears back and legs pistoning, leaving the knight free to cope with the heavy lance and aiming for his opposition's chest.
Having watched several of the knights show off their skills the group began to move on, Prince Odin was starting to wake up a little more and as he did, so he began to whimper.
"The young prince is hungry, Sire, I'd best be getting him back to the nursery as soon as possible," Miri stated as they wove their way from the jousting towards the food stalls.
"Of course, Miri," Heero replied. "I will send Duo with you to escort you both safely to the castle."
"Thank you, Sire," Miri replied.
"Duo, go with Miri, Catherine and my son, make sure they get through the crowds and to the castle nursery. Once they are there you may return to me. My brother and I will wait amongst the food stalls for your return."
"As you wish, master," Duo replied. He gave the prince a bow, turned and looked shyly at the two women. "Mistress Miri, Mistress Cathy, shall we go?"
"Yes, Duo," Miri replied and cuddled the prince closer to soothe his whimpers that were starting to grow in volume.
The two women, infant and young slave turned and began to make their way through the people towards the castle side entrance, Heero and Trowa watched them go. Suddenly there came the sound of a commotion from over where the jousting was taking place. Heero's eyes traveled across the expanse to see what was happening.
The force of the blow of the lance to his chest sent the knight tumbling backwards and over the rump of his horse, as he fell the knight's spur got caught in the silken quarter rug the horse wore. The spur dug into the material and given the weight of the knight it began to drag through, tearing the material as it went. The cloth ripped, a shred falling down to wrap around the horse's hock and fetlock as the knight hit the dirt.
Feeling the cloth fluttering around and tangling in its legs, the horse began to panic and natural instinct took over. Those instincts that had kept the horse alive for years kicked in big time, everything telling the horse that this was a predator and the only way to avoid a predator was to run away.
Eyes wild with fear, the horse bolted.
It charged out of the jousting field, through the assembly area and avoided everyone's attempts to grab its bridle and stop it.
Panicked, the animal jumped the boards around the collecting area and careered off into the crowd in a blind gallop, the material shreds still flapping around its fetlocks.
Heero's heart began to race when he saw the horse burst from the jousting arena and plunge through the crowd. People screamed and scattered, scrambling to get out of the way of the terrified horse.
The color drained from Heero's face, his stomach fell to his knees as he realized the horse was bolting in the same direction that Miri and his son had gone. A split second later his feet were in motion and he was sprinting for all he was worth after the panicked animal.
"What on earth...?" Miri began to say, stopping and turning around to see what all the commotion was about. What she saw, froze her to the spot.
Duo also heard the screams and yells of the people followed by what sounded like a very loud drum beat. He heard Miri's words, but didn't comprehend them as he turned to see what was going on. His eyes widened when he saw the huge beast bearing down on them. "MOVE!" he yelled to Catherine and Miri, diving to the side himself as he spoke.
Too late he realized that while Catherine had run out of the way, Miri was still standing there, her eyes wide, body shaking and frozen in place. A glance to his right told Duo the horse was almost upon them and about to run down both the nanny and the baby.
Without thinking, Duo did the only thing he could.
He ran straight for the nanny and child, shoving them both out of the way of the terrified horse.
The scent of fear, blood and hot breath followed by searing pain were the last things Duo remembered before his world went black.
