Chapter 3: Babies, work but no play?

Because Logan stayed the night in Brightwall then had his date with Alberto he arrived at the mansion around mid afternoon. His sister, Ben and Karl all saw the baby yesterday when Angelia gave birth. The butler answered the door giving Logan a bow showing him to his mother who was holding the newborn humming a soft tune. Angelia turned to see who entered smiling brightly when she saw Logan. She approached her son giving him a one armed hug being mindful of the baby.

"Logan sweetheart, how are you?"

"I'm alright mum, is this?"

"Your brother? Yes, say hello to little Maximus… do you want to hold him?"

"Sure… If you trust me"

"Of course I trust you"

Angelia handed the newborn to her son watching as Logan carefully held his baby brother in his arms, Maximus did a yawn making all sorts of sweet gurgling noises at Logan making him smile.

"He is cute isn't he"

"You were the same at his age"

"*disapproving sigh* Mum…"

"*sarcastic* What?" Angelia smiled at Maximus then at Logan as she looked up at him but then she spotted something on his neck. She carefully pulled his lapel down on one side seeing the bloody bite mark.

"Logan what happened?"

"Oh just trouble in Mistpeak… Uh a wolf got the jump on me"

"Your lucky it didn't latch on, are you sure you're ok I can get some sterilising-"

"No! No it's ok mum no need to fret"

"Hm only if you're sure"

"Positive"

Logan handing his brother back to Angelia when baby Max started groaning looking like he was about to cry. Angelia gave Logan a peck on the cheek telling him she needs to feed him, as she disappeared to the nursery Logan approached a nearby mirror. As he inspected the bite he did gasp in shock but then laughed.

"Wow Alberto, no holding back eh? I can see why mum believes the wolf story it does look canine the bite"

Soon enough Angelia returned with a happy baby, Logan told his mother he better head off he had business to do in Bowerstone Industrial. Understanding her son is a busy man now his full partnership with Reaver Industries has taken affect, she gave Logan another one armed hug. Logan leaned down planting a soft kiss on Maximus' head smiling when the baby yawned flexing his tiny fingers.

"Bye, bye little Max. Be good for mum won't you?" Logan carefully stroked the top of Max's head feeling his faint blonde hair.

"See you later Logan, love you"

"Love you too mum"

Although Logan still lived at the castle and is officially still Prince Logan, his partnership with his father is in full affect. He is now the proud owner of 3 factories owned by R industries or as it will be soon rebranded as RL. Logan told his dad he didn't have to rebrand the company but Reaver was pleased to do it, that way if anything should happen to Reaver or he went off travelling legally Logan could still run the business. In a usual day Logan would do spot checks on his 3 factories then pick one to reside in for the day doing the finances up in his office where his father would usually come to pester him but Logan didn't mind.

It's been a week since Logan's little brother Max was born, it had been a week of solid work for Logan. Everyday at the factories, a couple of the days he wanted to bang his head against the wall as a few workers were being picky about their wages and demanding more benefits with little to no extra workload. Not quite as cruel as his dad Logan still stood his ground threatening to fire the workers if they don't go back to work, that seem to shut them up.

His dates with Alberto were going well, they've been walking through Old Quarter side by side not holding hands. Logan wanted to but he knew the gossip that would start especially so early on in their relationship, Alberto knew this he was just happy spending time with Logan. They also went for a walk around Millfield's as Logan explained how Bowerlake use to look when his mother was adventuring then they'd stop off at Driftwood. No matter the date there was always a private moment where they just couldn't keep their hands off each other, a quick fevered kiss here, a romp against the bookcase there. They'd never go all the way, it's much too early in their relationship but that didn't stop them teasing each other.

It was a dull morning in Bowerstone industry, Logan had just finished his rounds heading up to his office. As he closed the door he scanned the room shrugging off his coat hanging it up as he walked to his chair. His office had frosted glass running along the side that looks over the factory so no-one could see what he was up to but they knew he was in there. He filled his office with necessary things should anything arise, such as his backup pistol in a draw in his desk. A cutlass stood nearby the desk in an umbrella stand. He also had health potions in his cupboard along with a change of clothes. Logan slumped into his chair pulling forward the finance books, as he started jotting down the expenses he had no idea of the visitor downstairs.

"Hi, I have an appointment with Logan"

"Your name?"

"Alberto Valencia"

"Hm sorry I don't recognise the name"

If there was one thing Balverines were good at it was deception and persuasion. "Oh please, look I've travelled far to be here today. You wouldn't want to upset Prince Logan now would you?"

The factory supervisor eyed the well dressed man but felt oddly calm around him like he was breaking through his mental barriers. "Ok, fine. Just this once but next time…"

"Yes, yes I'll talk to Logan about making his staff aware of visitors"

Alberto slipped past the supervisor walking up the walkways to Logan's office. He admired the cleanness, for a factory it was immaculate, the workers quietly did their jobs occasionally looking up wondering who this visitor is. Just like Reaver, Logan gave strict orders that only pre-arranged meetings or highly authorised people are allowed up to his office. When there was a knock on his office door Logan looked up a bit perplexed, he checked the time it was only 10am too early for his dad to visit ("maybe it's Benjamin asking about his bachelor do"). With a roll of his eyes Logan closed the book he was working on then approached the door, with his pistol behind his back just in case, when he opened the door the scowl was quickly replaced with a smile.

"Alberto? What are you doing here"

"Ah I was in the neighbourhood thought you might want some company"

"Well this is a nice surprise, come in, come in"

Logan opened the office door letting Alberto step in, as he shut the door Alberto spotted the pistol.

"Is that a gun in your pocket, or you just happy to see me *wink*"

"Haha, very funny. You can never be too careful these days… and yes-" Logan rushed Alberto wrapping his arms around him pulling him close to his body. "-I am happy to see you"

Logan brushed his lips against Alberto's making him whimper, so close yet so far. When Alberto tried to kiss Logan he smirked backing away sliding his pistol in its holster then sat back at his desk offering a seat to Alberto.

"Huh, tease"

Alberto sat down looking at Logan from across his desk, they chatted for hours going into each other's family history. Obviously Alberto knew most of Logan's since he told him a fair bit when they first met. Logan wondered if his mum would know Alberto's parents since he came from Knothole island, his dad an inventor and his mum owning a odd shop full of secrets. Soon the clock chimed 3pm a few workers were given half an hour to walk to the school to pick up their children and drop them off at the local creche before coming back to work. Alberto couldn't see much due to the frosted glass whereas Logan had a great view checking out the back of Alberto admiring his behind. Alberto looked over his shoulder about to ask Logan something but caught him checking out his ass instead, chuckling Alberto smirked at his prince.

"See something you like?"

"Oh definitely"

"I think it's time you went on your break hm?"

"But I don't have a-mph!"

Alberto lunged for Logan capturing his lips in a passionate embrace, immediately feeling himself getting hard Logan stood up from his chair still lip locked as he pushed Alberto against his desk. He hooked his arms behind Alberto's legs lifting him up to sit on the desk as Logan deepened the kiss moaning hard as their tongue caressed each other's. Logan quickly slipped off his gloves digging his fingers into Alberto's thighs then moved his hands up running his fingers through Alberto's thick dark locks. This heady arousal encouraged Alberto to take it further as he wrapped his legs around Logan's waist pulling him closer, they could both feel their erections through the clothing of their trousers making them both shudder. Now Logan grinded against Alberto relishing in the friction it was providing as their clothed erections brushed together making Alberto squirm on the desk. Alberto slipped a hand between them cupping Logan's manhood through his trousers making Logan jolt, he pulled away from the kiss to growl at Alberto then went for his neck biting hard.

"Oh by the gods! Logan!"

Sauntering his way up the walkways was Reaver, he usually likes to quickly pop in and check on Logan around mid-afternoon see how he's getting on. As he got closer to the office he did see 2 frosted figures but he almost couldn't believe what he was seeing. It looked like the two figures were having a very intimate moment together against the desk ("a passionate lover just like his father, go figures"). What surprised Reaver even more is when he knocked on the door giving Logan a minute to make himself decent as he stepped in.

"Dad! What a… nice surprise"

Logan quickly pulled away from Alberto when he heard the knock, Alberto slipped off the desk standing nearby Logan trying not to look obviously aroused. They weren't fooling anyone especially Reaver, he noticed the flushed faces and body language.

"Well I must say, I'm a little surprised"

"With what? Oh sorry… Dad this is Alberto Valencia"

Reaver offered out his hand to Alberto, a little nervous Alberto grasped Reaver's hand accepting the hand shake.

"Nice to meet you Alberto"

"Likewise Reaver"

Reaver put a hand on Logan's shoulder offering him some comfort.

"Logan, don't play coy. The glass is frosty not blacked out, I could tell what you two were up to"

Logan's eyes went wide the shock on his face, Alberto wasn't much better.

"I..I thought you'd be-"

"-What? Disgusted? Annoyed? Heart-broken? Logan my dear boy all I ever wanted was for you and Hannah to be happy. I don't care that you're gay, my gods boys if you've been to any of the neighbouring islands of Albion you'll see all sorts"

"Alberto's family were from Knothole"

"Ah see… my point exactly. Don't fret Logan"

With that Reaver waved goodbye he turned on his heel to leave, as he opened the office door he paused turning his head to look at them both.

"Just don't leave it too long to tell your mother. She deserves to know you're happy Logan. Rest assured I won't say anything… Tatty bye"

"Bye dad"

"Bye Reaver"

With a smirk on his lips Reaver left heading back to Millfield's he could tell Logan was a lot happier this last week, now he knows why. Once Reaver had gone Logan released a breath he'd been holding, Alberto caressed the back of Logan's hand with his catching the princes attention. Smiling at Alberto he took a hold of his hand bringing it up to his lips, he was about to kiss the back of Alberto's hand but he was still wearing his gloves. Smirking at this Logan removed Alberto's gloves then sprinkled kisses over the back of his hands then continued moving up kissing his wrist dragging his tongue across the skin before nipping at the wet flesh making Alberto moan.

"Mm now where were we? Oh yes"

Logan took control as he pulled Alberto close to him their bodies flushed as he grabbed Alberto by the thighs lifting him up perching him on the desk again as he trailed kisses over his neck, jaw, chin, lips. Alberto moaned heavily swaying his head back exposing more of his neck to Logan, the temptation was too much especially since Logan still had the faint bite marks from a week ago he bit Alberto hard. The feeling of Logan's teeth sinking into his skin awakened Alberto's animalistic side, his eyes were changing, his teeth sharpening and his claws becoming more prominent. He didn't want to scare Logan since he doesn't know of his born curse, he quickly calmed himself down but didn't want to stop this feeling. He suddenly had an idea.

"Logan.."

"Mmm yes?"

"Could.. Ooh… could you sit at your desk… please?"

"*dark chuckle* Why?"

"Mm you'll see"

Curiosity got the better of him, Logan pulled away from Alberto letting him slip off the desk. Alberto put a hand on Logan's chest guiding him backwards until the back of his legs tapped his chair and he plonked down into the chair. With a wink Alberto resumed their passionate kiss whilst his hands made short work of Logan's belt and trousers. Now Logan knew what he was up to, he was about to protest feeling the nerves get the better of him but Alberto kissed him so intimately the nerves just melted away. Alberto broke the kiss dropping to his knees he slipped his fingers into the waistline of Logan's trousers and underwear looking at his prince waiting for him to allow him to go on. Biting his lip Logan lifted his hips up letting Alberto slide his trousers and underwear down to his knees exposing his rock hard penis. Licking his lips Alberto winked at Logan shuffling under his desk pulling his chair closer to him.

"Now relax Logan, you can even carry on working if you so desire *chuckling*"

As Alberto took Logan's erection into his mouth Logan lost control, his body quaked with this heady erotic arousal. Never before has anyone touched him so intimately let alone with their tongue, he was seeing stars. He gripped hard onto the desk as Alberto sucked on his twitching length moaning down the erection sending wonderful vibrations.

"Ooh gods… Alberto I-*gasps* avo! You're oooooh yesss, ngh aah don't stop"

Alberto had his hands on the base of the chair to stop it wheeling away whilst he pleasured Logan but he soon moved to his legs. Now Logan removed his gloves he could feel him properly skin to skin as he traced faint circles up Logan's thighs smirking as his thighs trembled listening to Logan moaning begging for more.

Not paying attention to the time Logan grumbled when there was another knock at the door, this time he couldn't quickly play it cool. He was about to tell Alberto to stop but then a wicked idea sprang to mind with a devilish smile Logan called 'enter'. On his knees enjoying Logan's erection in his mouth Alberto scoffed light heartedly when he heard Logan call out 'enter' to whomever was outside his office ("oh he wants to play this game? Well two can play at that my sweet"). It was the supervisor they only popped in just to tell Logan about the end of day stats and asked for the wage slips so they can hand them out tomorrow morning.

"Are you ok sir? You look a little flushed"

"Aah I'm *clears throat* I'm fine, just a little warm"

Underneath the desk Alberto wrapped his arms around Logan's thighs yanking him closer as he deep throated his erection sucking so hard it was making it incredibly difficult for Logan to string together a sentence.

"Sir, the wages?"

"Oh, oh right yess… Ahem, here they are"

He handed the bunch of envelopes to the supervisor, his grip was a bit tight on the wages the supervisor had to tug them out of Logan's grip. With an odd look they said goodbye to their boss leaving the office. Once they left Logan wheeled his chair back looking down at Alberto sucking him off, it made his knees go weak he was so close.

"Fuck me Alberto, do you know how hard that was….Oooh"

"Mmm I know how hard you were *wink* now stop distracting me, I'm working *wink*"

Logan threw his head back as Alberto dragged his tongue up and down his length nipping along his erection gently. He moved his tongue up to the tip flicking his tongue across the sensitive tip tasting Logan's excitement then he sucked on the tip. Logan gripped hard onto his chair, his knuckles turning white as he panted hard.

"Ooh Alberto, don't stop I'm going to… ooooh wow I'm… ALBERTO!"

With a shuddering wave of pleasure Logan orgasmed hard filling Alberto with his hot release which he gladly consumed. The taste of his prince was sweet and strangely addictive, once he consumed the last bit he pulled away looking up at Logan with a mischievous smile.

"Enjoyed yourself?"

"Oh hell yes, you can come and interrupt my work day any day"

Chapter 4: Unlikely help

Ever since Reaver interrupted Logan's alone time with Alberto in his office, Reaver has been more aware of letting his son know he is visiting to avoid any further mishaps. It's now been 3 weeks since Logan started dating Alberto. Since their relationship has become a bit more oral they've been truly experiencing each other's bodies succumbing to their natural desires. The most exciting tryst for Logan had to be when he felt incredibly aroused dragging Alberto into a nearby closet in the castle locking the door dropping to his knees and having his way with Alberto. So far Logan has come clean to Karl and Rupert, who were both very excited to hear Logan has found someone, obviously Reaver found out. Other than that no one else knows although he thinks his mum has her suspicions.

"Hey Alberto I'm just running to Bowerstone market to grab a few things, do you want to tag along?"

"Yeah, sure let's go"

They were in Logan's office he just finished up counting the recent expenses realising he has done everything he needs to do for today. Getting up from his chair Logan slipped on his coat checking his gun is in it's holster. Opening the door for Alberto he took two steps then turned back waiting for Logan, once Logan locked his office he walked alongside Alberto heading out the office. Since it's been 3 weeks the supervisor was use to seeing Alberto letting him pass every time. Once they left the courtyard walking down the path Logan stole a quick glance at Alberto then looked down at his hand. Holding his breath Logan gently hooked two of his fingers around Alberto's gauging his reaction. Alberto just smiled then slipped his hand into Logan's so they continued walking holding hands.

"You sure you want to do this Logan, I know you haven't told everyone yet"

"Right now I couldn't give a damn"

"Glad to hear it"

The men walked down the streets of Bowerstone earning a few odd looks from passersby, one particularly old woman muttered something about 'disgusting homo behaviour' which nearly made Logan lose it but Alberto squeezed his hand tighter.

"*whispers* Don't let them rile you, sweetie"

"*whispers* Sweetie?"

"Don't like it?"

Logan stopped walking he quickly peered over his shoulder seeing the old hag hovering near a shop door watching the two lads. Logan pulled Alberto in for a fiery kiss tipping his body over in a hollywood kiss spinning him back up breaking away from the kiss with a wink.

"I love it *smirks*"

The old woman nearly had a heart attack scoffing she stormed off in a huff into the shop, they both watched eventually breaking into laughter at her petty behaviour.

"I think we ruined her day"

"*sarcastic* Tsk such a shame *wink*"

"Haha I'm such a bad influence on you"

Resuming hand holding they continued their walk until they finally reached Bowerstone market, they came out nearby the tattoo shop walking along nearby the docks. Just as they reached the shops Logan spotted a familiar face, he told Alberto he'll be right back running across the bridge before he lost sight of the man.

"Benjamin!"

Ben turned around relaxing his scowl "Logan! Mate, would you knock it off with the Benjamin, it's just Ben"

"Sorry, force of habit. Here on business? I meant to reply to your letter, yes I'll join you and dad on the bachelor do"

"Ah brilliant. Nah it is business but it feels more like taking out the rubbish"

The major was with two other soldiers who were escorting a nasty piece of work to the Bowerstone jail cells.

"So who's your friend Logan?"

Ben pointed across the bridge seeing Alberto leaning against the bridge wall with his arms folded occasionally looking over at Logan. Logan waved him over.

"Oh sorry that's Alberto. *waves to Alberto* He's my-"

"FINN LOOK OUT!"

The two guards with Finn were mortally wounded when the criminal managed to shove their bassonettes into them stabbing them with the knife on the end of the gun. One of the guards shouted at Ben before collapsing to his knees bleeding out. Logan spotted the criminal but he didn't have enough time to grab his pistol so he grabbed Ben by the arms throwing them both to the side narrowly avoiding the knife the criminal ripped off the gun. The man just went nuts slashing the blade into thin air running towards the very crowded Bowerstone market. Logan quickly scrambled to his feet firing his gun into the air.

"EVERYBODY LOOK OUT...ALBERTO"

With that a mass panic of people running in numerous directions happened as the crowds spotted the knife wielding lunatic. Alberto was halfway across the bridge when he heard Logan shout, he saw the nutter quickly rolling out of the way as the man tried to slash at him. A deep feral growl rumbled through Alberto suddenly his instincts kicked in as he chased after the crazed man. Alberto narrowly avoided people jumping onto one of the stands somersaulting over the crowd landing behind the man. A young woman with a child screamed as the man nearly stabbed her child but Alberto grabbed the man by his throat picking him up throwing him across the courtyard. As the man rolled across the floor he lost the blade, Alberto kicked it further up the street away from his grasp then placed a foot on his throat so he couldn't move.

"Bloody hell, that was fantastic! Well done Alberto"

Ben came up behind him pushing through the crowd with Logan in tow, the Major pulled out new handcuffs cuffing the man dragging him to his feet. Logan placed his hands either side of Alberto's arms looking at him with worry.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes I'm fine"

"I didn't realise you were so quick on your feet… and so limber"

"Haha *whispers in Logan's ear* play your cards right I'll show you just how limber tonight"

As Alberto whispered into his ear Logan couldn't help the small gasp then bit his lip imaging all sorts of ways Alberto could please him. Soon Finn came back just as the two men were smiling at each other.

"Did I miss something funny?"

"Oh don't worry about it Ben. Anyway this is Alberto my-"

"-Friend, a very close friend of Logan's"

Logan was taken back that Alberto called himself a close friend of Logan's, he was happy to just tell Ben the truth but he guessed mabe Alberto is getting use to the public knowing about it too.

"So how about we acquire the pub and I'll tell a few tales that would impress even Reaver!"

"Haha I doubt dad would be that hyped Ben but yeah a few drinks sounds good, Alberto?"

"Just point me to the bar *wink*"

"That's the spirit mate"

The three lads found a good table not too close to the rowdy crows but close enough to the bar. Of course when a few drunks spotted Ben and Logan they did quieten down, it's not everyday the prince of Albion and the major of the royal army stumble into the pub. Once the men sat down ordering a round of drinks everyone seemed to calm down going back to their business albeit a little quieter than usual.

"Is it me or did the room go awfully quiet?"

"It's not you Alberto mate, it's me and Logan here"

"Yeah the prince of Albion and the major of the royal army stopping at the pub is a bit of a novelty"

"Ah I see"

"So Alberto, where you originally hail from?"

"Knothole island, that's where my parents were from"

"Were?"

Alberto went quiet staring down at his ale, he sighed took a big swig then cleared his throat.

"Ok I'll say it fast… My mother and father died around 10 yrs ago. I've been alone ever since eventually I couldn't take looking at the memories on the island so I moved to Brightwall which was about 6 yrs ago"

Logan placed a sympathetic hand on Alberto's arm offering him a sincere smile.

"I'm sorry Alberto, you've told me about your parents before but I had no idea they were both gone"

"It's ok. It's just hard to bring it up is all"

"Ok subject change. How did you learn to move like that? All those flips and quick on your feet…"

"Aah that's a secret, let's just say I know what my body can do very well *wink*"

"Hm keeping your cards close to your chest, I can respect that"

"Thank you Ben"

Soon the three went through 3 rounds of ales getting to know each other much better. In return for Alberto talking about his parents, Ben revealed his past telling them about his parents and his brothers. Logan was shocked to learn Ben lost his parents so young being left to his own devices with his criminally minded brothers. He was even more glad Walter and Swift found him when they did otherwise who knows what would've happened.

As it was getting late Ben excused himself saying he'll get a earful from Logan's sister if he doesn't check in soon. Before leaving though he gave both Logan and Alberto a firm handshake then he looked at Alberto throwing caution to the wind.

"Hey Alberto, as you know I'm getting married next week. Would you like to attend and tag along with Logan to my bachelor do?"

"Are you sure? Isn't that all for close friends and family"

"1. I don't have much of a family anymore, 2. You seem like a nice person and if you've befriended Logan you can't be all that bad"

"Well why not, sure I'd love to attend"

"Good stuff, I'll let Hannah know and as for the bachelor do Logan can fill you in"

"Yeah, don't worry Ben I'll fill him in"

Ben didn't notice that Logan meant that as an innuendo as he winked at Alberto making him smirk. He'd already had turned around heading out of the pub waving bye to the two men.

As Ben disappeared Logan leaned closer to Alberto whispering all sorts of devious acts placing a hand on Alberto's knee to emphasize his point. This time Logan had purchased a house in each part of Albion so he's always got somewhere to stay. He dragged Alberto to his feet as they spent the night together in Logan's house here in Bowerstone market.
