Day Twenty: True Love reborn in Troy.
Two young men slept under the stars that night in Troy. They were so close that anyone could think that they had fused their bodies into one.
They had offered homage to their heroes, each of them carried a flower wreath that they had made themselves with the flowers they had found around and they had put them onto the tombs. After that, both young men remained in silence for a while until Alexander turned round and looked at Hephaestion into his eyes and, after taking his hands in his, declared his undying love for him, asking for a second chance. Hephaestion took his prince's hands and lifted them to his lips and he reverently kissed them asking for his forgiveness. The brunette confessed why he had self sacrificed himself and ended their relationship before, thinking that the prince would do better with a woman by his side and that it would also be easier to please his demanding mother in that way.
Alexander listened to him carefully, absorbing every single word his Phai was saying and when he finished, the blonde just cupped his brunette's face with his hands and brought their lips together, brushing them carefully as he did not want to assume that Hephaestion was ready to begin their physical relationship again. When Hephaestion deepened the kiss, the prince sighed between his brunette's lips and tightened the embrace around the slender waist. When the kiss was over, he hid his face in Hephaestion's neck, nuzzling the tender skin there while Hephaestion caressed his back and racked his fingers through the golden tresses, bringing their bodies every time closer.
No more words were exchanged that night, only deep toe-curling kisses and bold caresses that made them pant in each other's arms.
Alexander caressed with his fingertips Hephaestion's cheek, letting his finger travel from the brunette's chin all along his jaw line up to his earlobe. When his fingers were no longer useful, he traced the same path with his lips, peppering the flushed skin with little kisses and when those warm lips reached the earlobe, his wet tongue entered to play, licking the earshell and provoking his young brunette to moan quite sexily.
The prince had to stop his caresses, he was getting so aroused that it was difficult for him without brushing his manhood against Hephaestion's hips. He let himself fall onto his back and sighed loudly while Hephaestion rested on his side along the blonde's body; a strong body he had missed so much in the last months. He was about to caress the sun-kissed chest when Alexander stood abruptly and dared him to go down to the beach and swam in the ocean. Hephaestion, who had always liked water, ran after the prince and made him trip and both of them fell in the cold water of the Aegean Sea. Their games and swimming calmed down the prince's passion but it had the exact opposite effect in the brunette, who seeing his friend wet and with water running in rivulets down his toned chest, felt his groin stir and his manhood took a life on its own. The brunette was sure what he wanted to do, it was high time that they claimed each other's bodies so they could truly and completely enjoy the pleasure of lovemaking.
Alexander, oblivious to his brunette's thoughts, went on swimming and showing his body off. Hephaestion, on the other hand, suffered in silence, comparing the tempting body of his prince with those of the sirens described by Homer in the Odyssey. He knew that his strong will was about to fail and that he could always blame the sea people's chant and how they had made him do what he was about to fulfill.
He silently swam towards Alexander and scooped him up in his arms, bridal style. Alexander, startled by the sudden move, brought his arms around Hephaestion's neck and hugged him tight. Hephaestion stopped in his walking and took the blonde's lips in a searing kiss that left them breathless and with swollen lips.
Hephaestion walked towards the beach, still carrying his precious treasure between his arms, and he then laid him tenderly onto his own cloak. He immediately covered the prince's body with his own while his mouth sought out for his lips again. Dozen of kisses were delivered to the prince's lips until the brunette's tongue pocked the corner of the bruised lips asking for entrance. Hephaestion kissed Alexander within an inch of his life and his invading tongue travelled around every single spot inside the prince's mouth, raising his passion once more. Like a moth drawn to the flame, Alexander followed his brunette's tongue and took the control, plundering Hephaestion's mouth, mapping and learning every inch of it again.
Their hearts were pounding hard and quickly inside their chests but they were too lost to pay too much attention to them, they had other urgencies to take care of. Alexander rolled them over so he was now on top of his brunette's larger body; he leant over and nipped at the bottom lip until Hephaestion let a throaty moan free. He then tipped the brunette's face up in order to kiss his lips again, this time more tenderly and slowly. Hephaestion stretched his neck to one side to give more room to Alexander and the prince took the offered opportunity to lick and bite the tender skin below his earlobe, leaving a violet lovebite. That had a strong reaction on Hephaestion's body who could not keep his hands quiet anymore. His hands glided down Alexander's back with soft caresses until he reached the blonde's arse and he started to let his hands wander over the warm cheeks. Alexander let a moan out and his two coloured eyes narrowed into thin slits while little gasps left his mouth when the caresses turned more intimate and they sent shocks of pleasure along his body.
He straddled Hephaestion's lap and set his hands onto the broad shoulders and leant over to trail light kisses down the side of Hephaestion's neck, who had started to breathe quite rapidly. The kisses followed a path towards the brunette's nipples until the prince's tongue swirled around the arouse nub of brownish flesh. He licked and bit it for a while his other hand pinched the forgotten nipple. Hephaestion bucked his hips upwards to meet Alexander's manhood and create some friction. When that was no longer enough, Hephaestion snaked one hand between the two heated bodies and grabbed their cocks in one hand, and tunnelling that said hand, he started to massage them together from roots to tips.
Alexander stopped his kisses to moan loudly, he could feel his length getting larger and heavier and he felt Hephaestion's doing exactly the same against his. Some strokes later found both young men releasing their pearly load onto the other's bellies and shouting the other's name. They pulled apart with a soft gasp and rested their foreheads against one another while their bodies glistened with sweat.
"Take me, claim me, make love to me" the blonde young man asked his soon-lover-to-be.
"But Alexander, you are a prince and I am just …." but Alexander kissed the rest of the sentence away.
"You are the only owner of my heart and I hope some day I will be that for you too" the prince confessed blushing.
"You already are" Hephaestion said and kissed him deeply when suddenly he felt a hot tingle run along his body and entered Alexander's thorough their kiss. The prince gasped in surprise and repeated his offer. Hephaestion did not refuse again.
While Alexander's hands were lying still next to his assaulted body, Hephaestion's hands were everywhere, caressing with eager fingers along his prince's chest, letting them travel onto overheated skin that was showing a thin layer of perspiration due to the amazing treatment it was receiving.
Those hands were touching every inch of exposed and available skin, and finally, bored of staying in the upper part of the young man's body, they started to move downwards, sliding up and down Alexander's thighs, and caressing quite intensely their inner sides; hands that touched everywhere except his really awaken and aroused manhood. Alexander started to twist and turn onto the cloak, moaning and sighing, totally defeated by his own desire and feeling at his lover's total mercy.
Hephaestion stopped for some minutes to see his handsome blonde; his skin totally flushed and covered by tiny drops of sweat; his hair still damp after their swimming, his eyes were filled with desire, lust but most importantly, with love and trust. When his breathing was at a more normal rate, he decided that those minutes of rest would be over soon; the second part of the assault to that body was about to start.
Hephaestion moved and set on his knees and then rested his bottom on his heels; he took a good look at the strong body in front of him and decided where he would like to attack first. In that moment, Alexander opened one of his eyes curiously and winked at his beloved, letting him know that he was ready for the second part. The brunette so proceeded to slide further down, moving his hands over the strong thighs and his mouth over the flat and soft stomach, kissing the sensitive skin all the way down to Alex's navel. He let the tip of his tongue entered the little hole and began to suck and nip at it while the prince let, quite loudly and vocally, his Phai know how much he was enjoying that. The young man looked at his work and felt satisfied. He set himself between Alex's open legs and nudged them to open further until he was comfortable lying between them, with his broad chest touching Alex's throbbing manhood and his tongue lavishing onto the stiffen nipples again, continuously arousing his lover more and more.
Alexander could not keep being still any longer and he started to move beneath his lover's body, trying to move upwards and he succeeded and soon both cocks were touching, rubbing against the other, making them both gasp and thrust into the other. They both knew that the first time was going to be painful but not even that could put them off their idea.
Hephaestion knew that he had to renew Alexander's arousal so he gently grabbed the almost hard cock in his hand and started to stroke it from its root to the tip, caressing its head gently, back and forward, with the pad of his thumb. The simple caress elicited a loud moan from the blonde and that sound made Hephaestion get hard himself. He then spitted in his open hand and smeared it on his fingers. He massaged the area near Alexander's entrance and after some minutes of a kind massage between his cheeks, he let one wet finger enter him. Alex gasped lowly at the unexpected but still pleasurable sensation and unconsciously made a retreating movement but Hephaestion calmed him down with more kisses and sweet caresses. After a short moment, the prince smiled at his beloved letting him know he was fine and that he was ready to go on in their mutual and so satisfactory exploration.
A second and finally a third finger followed that first one and Hephaestion started to move them inside, loosening, flexing and scissoring the tight ring of muscle until Alexander was panting, begging for more and clenching his tight entrance around his Phai's fingers. The brunette knew that Alex was almost ready so he slipped his fingers from him and the blonde moaned from the loss but it was quickly forgotten when the young brunette positioned himself and aligned his manhood with his prince's entrance, without breaching at all.
Sensing that Alex had relaxed once more and he was not so nervous, Hephaestion helped Alexander to roll onto his back and kissed where his neck met the shoulder tenderly before pressing slowly into him and entering the willing body. The prince felt a sharp pang of pain in his entrance so Hephaestion stopped his movements, giving him time to get accustomed to him, while kissing his lover's lips. The pain passed rather quickly and before Alexander realized it, he was moving in time with his lover's slow and gentle thrusts with his legs wrapped around the young man's waist. Alexander wiggled his hips experimentally and the pleasure intensified more and more.
Wave after wave of pleasure washed over them, making them pant and moan. Hephaestion started to press his body further inside and he finally hit that sweet spot inside his lover that made the blonde groan loudly. After that, their thrusts became quicker, deeper and harder and Alexander, rolling his eyes back, reached for his own cock and tried to pump it in time with Hephaestion's thrusts. But his hand was gently batted and Alexander gasped loudly once more when he felt his brunette wrap his hand around him, fisting his length.
Sweet nothings and incoherent phrases were pronounced by each young man and they knew they were reaching their climaxes. Hephaestion slipped out for some seconds but then slid back into Alexander with more tender and slower thrusts. When he changed his position a bit, he was able to touch the blonde's prostate again making him moan loudly and clenched around Phai's cock while coming over their chests. The sensation of Alexander coming and the expression of bliss in his face were too much for the sensitive brunette. He thrust into Alex some more times, burying himself completely in the spent body beneath his and he followed his blonde lover seconds later.
The blue-eyed man collapsed on top of Alex's chest, over his heart, trying to catch his breath while listening to the blonde's fast heartbeat. Hephaestion clung tighter to his lover who was lying sated under him and he kissed his shoulders and nape with tiny wet kisses.
After some moments, Hephaestion got up and the prince shivered due to the loss of warmth; but the young man returned quickly to his side, bringing back a wet chiton and he proceeded to clean his beloved's belly and thighs, brushing his lips over them as soon as they were cleaned and dried. He then cleaned himself too and left the chiton beside them. He crawled back and lain next to his sated lover. Hephaestion looked at Alexander's flushed face, his reddish and kissed swollen lips and his two coloured eyes so full of love and he thought he had never seen his prince look as gorgeous and happy as he was in that moment.
The blonde young man reached and brought his lover nearer, to rest on his chest, while he brushed his fingertips along his sweaty back. Hephaestion turned to kiss Alexander's chest and then he snuggled into his lover's chest and Alexander wrapped tightly his arms around him, holding him and whispering his thanks one and a hundred times.
Two young men slept under the stars that night in Troy. They were so close that anyone could think that they had fused their bodies into one. Both men were sated and happy, those two men had finally discovered what was to make love for the first time to the person they would share the rest of their lives with.
