Excuse my absence; as per usual that's life

--yes when exiled by his father, Alexander, his mother and several friends did take refuge in his uncle's kingdom although I have adapted things for the purpose of my story--

……………………………………………………………………………

They rode out the next morning, his mother, his close companions and himself, the rode hard day and night until reaching their destination, His uncle, and namesake's kingdom.

Upon their arrival, his uncle had spent the better part of an hour storming about the great hall, and bellowing at the top of his lungs about the injustice his sister and nephew had received at the hands of Philip. While his mother had fed the fire of his words, Alexander stayed silent, preferring to brood on his own.

There words would have gone on forever if he hadn't left, getting up in the middle of his mothers sentence Alexander left the room without saying a word. His heart was heavy enough without their adding to it.

He wandered through the empty hallways, acquainting himself with the workings of his Uncles home. The servants bustled around him, but avoided saying anything to the prince. He was inspecting one of the smaller library type rooms when a throat was cleared behind him. Turning he found what seemed to be a worried Ptolemy, giving a nod to his friend in invitation to speak he waited.

"It is interesting, this uncles kingdom, so very different from our own. Different atmosphere wouldn't you agree Alexander?" Ptolemy gave a bit of a smirk before continuing. "The company you seek retired not too long ago, but somehow, I am highly doubtful he would mind being bothered by you" Catching the sharp look that Alexander tossed his way, Ptolemy bowed out of the room, with an all too knowing smile.

Alexander let out the breath he'd been holding in, before he let his thoughts drift back to his friend's words. Ptolemy had always known him better, understood him. He laughed a little to himself thinking on it now.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts he took his friends advice, coming to Hephaistion's door, Alexander took a deep breath before entering. Closing the door softly Alexander entered on soft feet, the dim light from the moon filtered through the filmy covering of the open window. The bed was a good size, not too small. And its occupant was sprawled unceremoniously across it. Alexander could not stop the grin that spread across his face at the sight before him, just as he could not stop his feet from carrying him towards the slumbering man.

Standing over the man he had come to care so much for, Alexander slowly lowered himself to sit on the edge of the bed next to the sleeping Hephaistion. Grinning to himself, he bent his head and proceeded to place open mouth kisses along Hephaistion's bare back.

Laughing under his breath when the soft sound of a groan reached his ears, he bit down into the soft flesh, relishing the mewling noises coming from the man beneath him. Running his tongue over the ridges that his teeth has made Alexander climbed fully onto the bed, Tugging the sheet away from his lovers form, he grinned at the sight of Hephaistion's naked body. Sitting up he allowed Hephaistion to roll onto his back, hungrily running his eyes down the man's naked front, Alexander quirked a half grin at the sight of Hephaistion's swollen cock, slick with pre-cum. Lowering his head Alexander blew a hot breath over the member, and spoke in a husky voice.

"Now I hope it was dreams of me that made you like this."

Alexander's eyes gleamed with mischief, dipping his head he ran his tongue up the length of the shaft.

"Tell me Hephaistion………was it me who created this, in those dreams of yours? Tell me."

Taking the strangled grown that his lover let out to be confirmation, Alexander ran his teeth up the sensitive shaft, just to hear his beloveds moan. Raising his head, Alexander gruffly let out,

"Look at me Hepahistion"

And when those green orbs met his own, he let a low growl emanate from his throat.

"And did I do this, in that dream of yours?"

Taking his Patroclus into his mouth to the hilt, he swallowed roughly around the thick shaft. Spurred on by the withering moans of the one bellow him, Alexander palmed the sensitive skin of Hepahistion's balls.

Removing his mouth, Alexander grinned

"How about this?"

Raising himself up, Alexander straddled the other man, raising his tunic; he brought out his own swollen cock. Placing his hands on either side of Hepahistion's head, he buried his fingers deep in the chocolaty brown locks. Rocking his hips back and forth slightly he began to create the much needed friction between them. Laughing at Hephaistion's desperate moans, Alexander responded

"Tell me , do I live up to your dream? Tell me and I'll give you all you need and more."
