"D-Damon" Ste said in shock.
Damon approached him "maybe I should introduce myself properly." He took off his cape
"I am Damon Skellan's half-brother and I've heard a lot about you from Aquila" he said
"But I never heard anything about you, he never mentioned you" Ste said and Damon raised a brow at his tone. He doesn't sound anything like a slave he sounds like he owns this place, 'Aquila was right about him'. He thought
"Maybe he doesn't like talking about his personal life to his slaves" Damon said being sarcastic.
"Brendan told me everything important about him" Ste said with a bright beautiful smile on his face as he watched the smile on their faces fading as they heard Skellan's real name coming from his lips and looking and each other confused by the fact Skellan told him his real name.
"So Steven" he said "what else has my brother told you?"
"Everything about his family, his kids and that he had only 5 brothers and all of them are dead" Ste said looking him in the eye.
"I am not really upset by the fact my brother doesn't like to mention me" he said as he got closer to Ste and Ste stepped back "it's nice to meet you Steven" Ste gulped and left the room.
He ran as fast as he could, to his room. He remembered what Brendan told him he doesn't want him out of his room for long.

Ste was sitting in his room later that day with a tailor, looking at all of his clothes choosing the ones he wants to wear soon. Under a pile of clothes he found a golden silk piece of cloth and he grabbed it and starred at it as the memories attached to it made him blush.
- Flashback-
Ste was massaging Brendan's legs as Brendan was reading a book. Ste look at Brendan trying to say something to him but stopped as he couldn't get himself to say what was in his mind. He tried a few times but stopped but suddenly Brendan noticed that Ste is trying to say something. He put his book down "is there something you want to tell me, Steven".
"Yes" he said nervously
"tell me" Brendan said
" um... I was wondering if?" Ste stopped
" tell me Steven" Brendan insisted getting impatient
"I was just wondering if you can teach me fighting" he said and Brendan laughed.
"I am serious" he said and Brendan stroked his cheek "you don't need to learn that"
"I want to go to war with you" Ste replied
Brendan looked at him in disbelief "what did you say?"
Ste came closer to him "I want to go to war with you... to fight next to you"
He smiled and looked down "you are not made for war Steven" he grabbed his hands "your hands are not made for blood-shed" he kissed his hands and Ste blushed.
"But I want to be strong" Ste stroked his beard "like you" Brendan grabbed his hand that was on his cheek "I will teach you but I can't take you to war Steven" he said and Ste got a bit upset and Brendan noticed it.
"Forget about it I have something really beautiful I want to give you" he said and Ste got so excited
"What is it?"
"It'll be here soon" as he finished someone knocked the door and Ste immediately jumped out of the bed and went to open the door. A girl was standing outside holding something wrapped around a piece of white paper. He grabbed it from her hand and walked back to the bed after he closed the door.
He ripped out the paper and his jaw dropped in shock because he have never seen something as beautiful as this dress before as something as soft like this he took it out and wrapped it around him as he went to check himself at the mirror. Brendan left the bed and wrapped his arms around him "when I saw this I knew it was only going to look good on you" he kissed his neck
Ste turned round and cupped his face and captured his lips in a sweet kiss and Skellan took him to bed and dropped on top of him and Ste broke the kiss just to look him in the eyes. "I want to stay like this forever "Ste said
"I want to stay like this forever with you on top of me" he repeated
- end of flashback-
"This one" he handed it to the woman. "I want this one ready first "he said
He started looking for some other clothes when he heard a knock on the door and when he opened it he found a girl who was sent by Brendan to take care of Ste "what is it now"
"Aquila has invited you for dinner tonight" she told him.
"Come inside" he said and he locked the door after she came in.
" what do you mean she invited me" he asked her confused
"She just told me to inform you to be there " She told him
"Ohh God what is she planning now" he said ad he started putting his clothes back into the cupboard
" You don't have to go I'll make something up" she said looking down.
"NO I will go I am not scared of her" he said

Skellan was in his ship it was getting dark and he knew there were still 3 more days before he would reach his destination and meet the king who was also Ste's uncle. Finding out the truth was not going to be easy and he was ready for it, ready to protect his Steven. He closed his eyes getting lost in the memories of Steven. It's only been a day but felt like a year without him. How was he going to spend the rest of the days without Ste?
He was thinking of how at this time Ste is mostly getting ready for him and than would come to his room with his dinner, wearing his favourite robe and after dinner they would talk for hours before going to take a bath together and then they make love for hours. He was thinking of all those delicious noises he makes and how his name comes out of him when he is near.
His hands reached to fist his manhood when the thought of that one night when he covered his eyes and tied his hands and teased him using a feather. The way he shivered when he was stroking it on his belly down to his thighs. He loves getting worshipped and he loves being teased by him and he loves trying new things that's why he always tell him about all his fantasies and he tries his best to do all to him.
He started pumping his dick at he thought of the way Ste was playing with his dick with his eyes covered, the way his cheek hollowed as he takes him deep down his throat and the way he licks his lips when he cums in his mouth. He was too lost in the thoughts of Ste when he heard a knock. He was annoyed more than ever "Come in" he said as he covered his cock. But when his friend entered he realised by the look of his face that he is annoyed.
"Are you sure you want to do this Skellan he asked as he sat next to him.
"I am sure I told you before I want to know what he is up to" he said and the man nodded
"Its been years I want to know what are his plans" he continued "Years ago I helped kill his brother and he is mad for his power. I've seen the way he killed all of his sons because he'll do anything for his throne" Skellan said
" what are you planning Skellan" He asked
"As long as he is alive Ste is not safe" Skellan said
"Are you with me or are you not" Skellan looked at him and asked and he nodded
"Then do not question me again"

Ste sighed and knocked Aquila's door and waited outside. He was sure that Aquila was planning something because she doesn't even like him so why would she invite him for dinner but he was not just going to ignore her like he usually did just to show her that he is still afraid. He decided to face her.
As the door opened a young slave boy welcomed him and Ste entered and realised Skellan's kids were there too also his brother Damon and all of them had already started without him. With Aquila there were a young girl sitting next to her. He realised she must be his daughter he was looking for a place to sit when Damon called him "you can sit here Steven" he showed him the seat next to him was empty and Ste hesitated but there was no other seat for him and no one even cared to even look at him so he wasn't going to ask anyone. He decided to sit next to him.
He smiled at Ste and Ste looked away "My brother's choices has always been great" he said and Ste knew he was talking about him which he ignored. "He always chose the great quality diamonds" he said with a smirk and Ste knew he was trying to humiliate him but he was forced to stay quiet.
Aquila handed him bowl of soup and Ste took a spoon and gulped. He looked at her and she was peacefully eating her food. He knew there is something wrong here. Why was she so peaceful around him. He was nervous but he made his choice to come here. He looked around and still not sure.
Aquila noticed the awkwardness "it's alright Steven" she said "I am not going to poison you in my room" she said and everyone laughed
"That's not what I am thinking" Ste said "I am just feeling very unwell"
"Oh is everything ok" Aquila said pretending like she is worried
" I just feel sick" Ste said with a nervous smile.
"Then it is good for you, don't be shy around us Steven" She insisted
Ste gulped and took a started eating and nothing happened, he sighed.
The dinner was quiet and Ste finished as quickly as possible. When he was finished he decided to make an excuse and leave to his room.
"I think I should go now. I need some rest" he said and was about to leave but was stopped by Aquila "aren't you going to stay for the desert Steven" She said and Ste nodded. He knew that she wasn't going to poison him, sure she was hiding something but he had to be careful too and he can't let her know he is watching her.
"I need some fresh air" he said and went to the balcony.
The weather was nice and the moon was in its full form.
"When are you coming back" he said thinking of Brendan who was far, far away from him on his mission. He grabbed his pendant and closed his eyes, thinking of Brendan " Come back" he said
"Come back" Brendan opened his eyes looked around he was sure he heard someone but there was no one there. He was sure he heard Ste but how can he be there. Maybe he was just dreaming about him. He got up and looked outside the window. He smiled and closed his eyes thinking of Ste's beautiful face.
×××××××××
"Thinking of your master?" Damon said as he approached STe
" Yes" Ste said proudly as he opened his eyes.
"It's the first time my brother has had someone in his life for so long" Damon said, standing next to Ste
"Maybe I am special " Ste replied and Damon smirked
"Indeed you are" Damon said as he got closer to Ste.
"You seem very close to Aquila than your brother" Ste said as he moved away from him
"She is fine but I am not interested in her" Damon said
"It is really not my business" Ste said facing him "But I am here only and only for my master and he'll be back soon" Ste said with a proud smile on his face making it clear for him.
"I didn't mean it that way Steven" he got closer to his face "Maybe you just don't trust me"
She stepped back "Exactly I don't trust you or her"
Damon raised a brow "You thought she was going to poison you"
"I am glad she didn't" Ste replied
"But she is not after you" Damon told him and Ste was confused "She is not after you or Skellan." Damon said and looked at Skellan's sons and Ste realised what he meant by that.
"What?" Ste said and Damon left
Ste was confused why he told him all this? Why would he tell him that Aquila is after Skellan's sons?
