Hell. . .the last three days had been pure HELL for Roman . Everywhere he turned there was Seth, Roman wanted desperately to go see Dean but, he had a sneaking suspicion his father was using the slaves to spy on only bright spot came the night before when he was able to disappear for ten minutes which Roman had planned on using it to find Dean and just hold him.

In his rush to get to Dean , Roman bumped into someone , moving quickly he caught the person in his arms before they could fall and pulled them into his chest.

Roman looked down and saw Seth's big brown eyes staring up at 'd spent so much time running from Seth that he'd actually managed to run right into him. Roman had to stop himself from demanding to know what the younger prince was doing up at this time, .It was late and most of the Slaves had left except for Dean (who was just finishing up getting his father ready for bed) Sandra (who was his mother's lady in waiting) and Bayley who was probably waiting for him so she could assist him in his nightly routine.

"Where are you running off to my love?"

"To my room, gotta be rested for tomorrow...don't wanna fall asleep while someone's repeatedly pounding a needle into my arm"

Roman tried not to sound as annoyed as he was but, Seth was quickly becoming his least favorite person in the Kingdom.

"Why don't you come lay with me for a while, it's so lonely in this big castle"

Roman unwrapped himself from the younger prince's grasp.

"I don't think that's a-"

The words died on his lips when he got a good look at Seth and discovered he was stark naked.

"Where are your clothing ?"

Roman hissed , he didn't think it would be appropriate especially if someone saw them,he didn't want anyone to think they'd done anything impure.

"this is very common my kingdom,I just... I didn't think you'd be displeased , I'm sorry I disappointed you my prince"

Seth hung his head and ran back into the room ,slamming the door behind him and succeeding in making Roman feel like a horse's ass .If that was how he conducted himself at home then he wouldn't tell him otherwise. He approached the large intricately carved wooden door and opened it ,and instantly felt ten times worse when he heard crying. Carefully approaching the bed he couldn't stop himself from looking at Seth's body,Dean was larger and more muscular even though his waist was oddly tiny me loved wrapping his arms around him. But,Seth,was smaller, and less developed….it made sense hell he was probably still developing and the thought of being the one that had to impregnate him was something that Roman was dreading. He wanted Dean to be the one to give birth to his children and knowing that would never happen pained him.

"Seth"

Roman called softly shaking the mattress, not really wanting to touch any part of his naked body .

"What?"

For the first time since they'd met Seth didn't sound like he was trying to seduce him.

"I'm sorry , I didn't mean to offend-"

"You think i'm ugly"

Roman sincerely hoped that he was hearing things

"What?"

It was Roman's turn to ask and apparently it had struck a nerve because Seth sat up and turned to face him, His still nude frame on full display.

"You heard me, don't play stupid Roman"

"I've never seen anybody prancing around naked"

"You're avoiding the subject"

He didn't have an argument against that because he didn't know how to answer it without upsetting Seth further.

"um...you...are a an...um you you're very attractive anyone would be lucky to ha-"

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE ELSE DAMNIT….I want to know if YOU think I'm sexy"

"of course you are Seth...I think you're a very handsome young man"

Hmm Roman had to mentally pat himself on the back for that. In reality Seth was very attractive but, his personality made him less so.

"now say it so you sound less like my father and more like my fiance"

Seth folded his arms and waited for the response..

Roman rolled his eyes THAT was exactly why he wasn't too keen on Seth.

"you're very sexy , do you feel better now?"

Roman was trying to remain calm but these precious moments he could be using to sleep he was spend stroking the ego of someone who he was pretty sure had never lifted a finger in his life.

"NO, do it again"

Roman was dangerously close to punching Seth , if only it wouldn't start a damn war. Roman pulled Seth up by his arms so they were standing chest to chest.

"You are mine Seth, I don't like when people see what's mine. "

He growled into Seth's ear squeezing his ass for emphasis sending a chill up Seth's spine. He could feel Seth shaking in his arms , and smiled to himself.

"Goodnight MY sweet prince"

With that Roman released him and left the room glad that that ordeal was over with and he could finally get to sleep.
