Author’s Note: This chapter contains a lemon. I would probably rate it slightly higher than the rest of the story, because it will be more graphic than my previous erotic scenes. I am also adding a warning for language, after this point there will be more swearing in this story.
Chapter Note: I realize now that, despite how much I loath romantic novels and movies, I am capable of producing some incredibly sappy writing. Three lemons in a row, I guess I just wasn’t in a very angsty mood this last week. Don’t worry I’ll get back to the story line by the end of this chapter. Thanks for bearing with me. ;)

Chapter 12

Zadei sat at his desk going over tedious reports. He had already gone through all of the important documents and new trading agreements, and was currently wading his way through an incredibly boring scroll outlining the need for more military presence along the realm’s boarders.

When Zadei had decided to overthrow the aging previous emperor, he had not considered the amount of paperwork that was involved. As the general of the Ice Realms military, he had only needed to read whatever reports the old Emperor had felt fell under his jurisdiction.

Speaking of which, he gave up on the scroll and placed it on the corner of his desk, making a mental note to pass it on to Gerumu the next time he came by the office.

Zadei turned and shifted his gaze to the corner of the room, where Tetius sat at a smaller desk going over his own work. The emperor had wanted Tetius to be free of responsibility here, but he had found that the pale man needed something to do with his time.

The first day that Zadei had returned to work, he had found his desk piled with documents that needed his attention. Tetius had offered to help, and Zadei had accepted. He figured that expecting Tetius to wander the castle when he was unfamiliar with it was rather unfair.

It had worked out great in fact. Tetius was a good reader, and could easily handle most of the smaller, pointless reports about village relations and municipal law-enforcement. He always made sure that Zadei saw anything that truly needed his attention, but he vastly lightened the emperor’s workload.

After the first three days Zadei had decided that Tetius needed his own desk. He had also informed the servants to present the documents to them properly, so that they didn’t need to sort them out on their own.

Zadei was still watching Tetius work. He really was beautiful, draped in pale green silk robes, with his hair tied back in a long braid. The diamonds that he had threaded through his locks shone brightly in the sunlight that filtered through the large windows.

Zadei fondly remembered the day that he had given that particular ornament to his angel. It had taken a lot of convincing to get Tetius to accept it. It had been an extravagant gift, the cost was probably enough to feed the entire palace for three weeks, but Zadei had wanted Tetius to have it.

It was still amazing to Zadei, how much he loved Tetius. Never in his life had he considered himself the type to lavish expensive gifts on someone. He had never imagined that there could possibly be someone that was more important to him than he, himself. It was an interesting concept, and he was surprised by how easily he had been able to accept it.

Forcing his gaze away from his lover, Zadei turned back to his work. He could already hear the good-natured scolding that he would receive if Tetius finished his work first. Fighting back a grin he set himself to work, already planning what he was going to do when all of the papers had been looked at.

Zadei gave a happy sigh as he finished the last report of his desk. He let his head fall back so that he was staring at the ceiling. Reaching out he took hold of the goblet on his desk and finished the wine that had come with his dinner.

Placing the empty cup back on the tray he turned to see how much work Tetius had left. He was relieved to see that there were no more papers on the small desk, and his angel was almost finished with the one in his hands.

Standing silently, Zadei moved forward until his was standing just behind the pale young man. He reached out, placing his hands on those silk covered shoulders. He wasn’t surprised when he received no response. Tetius had a habit of becoming lost in his work. Zadei almost hadn’t been able to pull him away from his desk long enough for them to have dinner together. He didn’t want the winged man to miss any meals, he was thin enough as it was.

Zadei leaned forward to breath in Tetius’ scent, as he began to massage those shoulders. He had just begun to lose himself in the repetitive motions when he felt Tetius’ head lean back against his chest.

“Zadei, that feels so good.”

He glanced down, meeting those pale green eyes. He watched Tetius lay the last document back on his desk before reaching up to wrap his arms around Zadei’s neck. He pulled slightly and Zadei obediently moved into a soft kiss. His nose brushed lightly against the pale throat and he inhaled deeply. Tetius’ natural scent was intoxicating.

Pulling back, Zadei took Tetius’ hands from around his neck and pulled him to his feet. Keeping a hold on those delicate hands, Zadei lead his angel out of the study and down the short hall to their bedroom. He barely registered that fact the Tetius made sure that the door to their chamber was firmly closed and locked behind them.

Zadei slipped his hand into the collar of Tetius’ robe to undo the clasp. He allowed the material to fall to the ground, watching Tetius shiver as the cloth tickled his skin.

He was rather surprised that Tetius had never commented on how simple his clothes were despite their elegance. Of course, Zadei had ordered them that way. He didn’t want a bunch of unnecessary ties and clasps keeping him from reaching that beautiful skin.

Careful not to injure his angel, Zadei threw the smaller man onto the mattress. Tetius caught himself on his elbows and gazed up at Zadei with undisguised desire in his eyes. The taller man took in the sight of his sweet lover, savoring the view.

It made Zadei very glad to know that Tetius didn’t have any problem if he felt like being a little rough for a night. His angel seemed to enjoy being the submissive one, and was more than willing to allow the emperor to do whatever he wanted.

He, of course, took full advantage of that fact, but at the same time he was always careful that he never actually harmed Tetius while he was having his fun. And he didn’t want Tetius to feel pressured into anything he wouldn’t enjoy.

Zadei had his clothes off in record time and was already climbing on top of his angel. He straddled those slim hips and braced himself so that he was staring down into shimmering green eyes.

Tetius leaned up to kiss him soundly, hands sliding up his arms to the strong shoulders. Zadei returned the kiss as he rolled onto his back. He sat up leaning against the headboard and guided Tetius until the winged man was settled between his legs. Taking hold of one of the pale hands, Zadei guided it down to brush against his member.

Tetius took hold of the organ and immediately began to stroke. Zadei growled happily as he ran his tongue along the contours of his lover’s mouth. The strokes were light and teasing, but they felt absolutely wonderful against his member.

Zadei quickly grabbed the oil and poured some onto his hand, never breaking the contact between their lips. Reaching down, he let his fingers tease at Tetius’ entrance.

Zadei was surprised when Tetius suddenly pulled away from their kiss. He was so blinded by the beautiful smile that he saw, he didn’t notice that Tetius had moved down his body until he felt a soft breath against his heated flesh. This certainly hadn’t been what he had been going to suggest, but he wasn’t about to stop Tetius if he truly wanted to do this.

A warm tongue began to lap gently at his slit, and he clenched his fists in the sheets and moaned. This was much more than he had hoped for. He had wanted Tetius to do this to him for a few days now, but he was planning to wait until the pale man did so on his own.

It was better than he had hoped. Soft licks and nips were placed along his member’s length, before the organ was completely engulfed in a warm cavern.

The emperor glanced down to watch that pale head bobbing up and down in his lap. That silver hair was still bound in a tight braid. It looked wonderful, but Zadei preferred to see the locks hanging free.

A sudden nip at the tip of Zadei’s member caused him to inhale sharply. He shifted his hands to Tetius’ hair and untied the ribbon. Combing out the strands, he removed the diamond strings and threw them into one of the headboard compartments. He’d find a servant to untangle them in the morning, but right now he wanted to focus on his pleasure.

He wound his hands in Tetius’ hair, reveling in the soft texture as he felt his climax approaching. A small hand took hold of his sac, and squeezed sharply. Zadei came with a pleasured shout.

He felt Tetius lick him clean before raising his head to look up into his eyes. Zadei stared at him, still panting from his release. The flushed cheeks, and the silver hair falling over those pale shoulders and across his chest were enough to make Zadei feel as if he was ready for a second go. Of course, the fact that the hand on his sac had yet to stop it’s fondling helped immensely.

The small pink tongue that flicked out to whisp over Tetius’ lips was too much. Zadei grabbed the younger man and pulled him up into a bruising kiss. He snarled in pleasure as his tongue explored the pale mouth, picking up the lingering taste of his own semen.

He rolled them over so that Tetius was kneeling beneath him. Feeling compelled to return the favour, Zadei ran his tongue along his angel’s spine. He stopped briefly to pay special attention to the joints of his wings. It had only been few days ago that he had discovered that particular sensitive spot, and he used it to his advantage whenever he could.

He continued to focus his attentions there until had had managed to wrench a sharp cry from his lover’s lips. With a satisfied grin he moved lower to lap firmly against Tetius’ hole. This was something else that he had been wanting to do for a while. Today just seemed to be a good day to try new things.

Zadei forced his tongue past the tight ring of muscle, as Tetius arched his back with another cry. “Oh, Zadei…. Oh, Gods.”

Zadei slipped his hand around a soft hip to stroke firmly at Tetius’ member. It wasn’t long before his angel was crying out and splattering his seed across the blankets.

The pale young man collapsed against the mattress panting sharply. Zadei moved himself up so that he was laying half across Tetius’ back, one wing under his body. He rested his head in the space between those beautiful wings.

“I love you, Tetius.”

A half awake hum was his only response from the young man. It had been a tiring day, and Zadei couldn’t blame his angel for being exhausted. The emperor contented himself with listening to his lover’s heartbeat as he drifted off to sleep.

It seemed like it had only been moments but it was already early in the morning when Zadei awoke. He was still spooned tightly against his lover. With a yawn he stood from the bed, pulling at the blankets so that he could drape them over the pale form. He watched Tetius sleep for a few moments, just to make sure that he wouldn’t be cold.

When Zadei was sure that Tetius was in fact comfortable, he moved over to the archway that led out onto the balcony. He moved over to the railing to look out over his realm.

Everything was perfect. He had power, respect, and a beautiful angel to lay at his side every night. Things couldn’t possibly be better.

Tetius woke with a slight shiver. He knew immediately that he was alone in the bed. He was missing the constant heat that Zadei’s body provided. Rolling over he could just make out a figure standing on the balcony. He gave a contented sigh as he remembered their earlier fun.

It had been strange, Tetius had been nervous when he had decided to take Zadei in his mouth. He had never liked it with Lord Marion, but his master had always enjoyed it. Tetius had wanted Zadei to feel that pleasure as well. He had been surprised to find that he rather liked the feel of Zadei against his lips and tongue. By the end Tetius had been enjoying it almost as much as his lover had. It was nice to know that there were things that he could do to make Zadei happy.

Reaching out to take hold of the sleep robe that he kept near the bed, he stood, wrapping it around himself. Moving towards the balcony he could fully make out Zadei’s figure, as the man stared out over the railing.

Of course the man hadn’t bothered to dress. Not only did he have no sense of shame, but he never seemed to get cold. Maybe it was his Ice Citizen heritage. Whatever it was, obviously Tetius did not have it as well. He hadn’t even made it to the archway yet and his body was already wracked with shivers. Speeding up his steps, Tetius reached his lover as quickly as possible.

He leaned his forehead against Zadei’s back, relieved by the immediate wave of heat that filled his body. Slipping his arms around that strong chest, he nuzzled gently against the warm skin.

“I’m sorry Tetius. I didn’t mean to wake you.” Zadei’s hands took hold of the arms that lay around his waist.

“You didn’t wake me. I just find it easier to sleep when you’re near.” As Tetius spoke, he moved his wings so that they were wrapped tightly around the both of them. He pressed a soft kiss against the strong back. “Why are you out here?”

Zadei turned in the cocoon of feathers and settled his arms against pale hips. Tetius felt the taller man rest his cheek against the top of his head. “I was just thinking. It’s not anything for you to worry about.”

“As long as you’re sure. I love you, Zadei. And I know that if something’s wrong you’ll tell me.”

Tetius felt a hand take hold of his chin. He allowed his face to be lifted, as a calloused thumb ran across his lips. He stared up into those warm golden eyes and smiled, darting his tongue out to brush against the digit.

“Tetius, I love you. You make me so happy.”

A firm kiss was laid against his lips, and Tetius soon found himself being lowered to the balcony floor, his sleep robe already slipping down his shoulders.

Zadei lay content on the floor, one hand buried in a mass of soft feathers. Tetius’ head was resting against his chest while a delicate hand trailed abstract patterns on Zadei’s stomach.

The emperor could feel a foolish grin on his face as he stared up at the slowly brightening sky. He was quite impressed that Tetius was still awake after what they had just done. Even Zadei was feeling drained, and he had, on one previous occasion, ridden the young man to exhaustion, leaving himself barely affected.

He was just beginning to drift off when he felt a tremendous surge of power. It was strange, he had never felt anything like it before. A sudden horrible burst of fear had him grabbing onto Tetius and throwing them both backwards against the archway.

A powerful blast of energy ripped into the ground where they had just been laying, showering the both of them with icy shards and strips of material from Tetius’ discarded robe. The emperor moved forward, pushing Tetius back so that the younger man was shielded behind him.

Zadei glanced up to find King Koloss Beta standing on the balcony railing. He heard a frightened gasp from behind him as Tetius’ hands gripped tightly at his waist. He could feel a growl building in his throat as he stared at the man.

He had wanted to get revenge on the bastard for what he had done to Tetius, but had been convinced by Lord Marion that it would only lead to trouble for the people of both the Fire and the Ice Realms.

But seeing him here, now, in his own palace was too much. Not to mention that Koloss had just attacked them both. He could have hurt Tetius. I’ll kill the bastard. Zadei’s temper was fully awakened by this point.

“I’m here for my little bird. Give him to me now, and no one needs to be hurt.”

A furious snarl escaped Zadei at those words. He could feel Tetius’ hands trembling and pushed him back towards to bedroom. “Get out of here, Tetius.”

“No little bird, don’t leave. You’re coming with me.”

“Fuck off, you bastard! I’ll kill you for what you did!” Zadei gave Tetius another shove and took an angry step forwards.

He didn’t get any farther as a strong burst of energy slammed into his chest. Zadei dropped to his knees as a large gash was torn through his skin. He could feel a strange numbing sensation spreading from the wound.

“Zadei!”

Tetius was at his side in a moment, pressing his hands against the injury to try and stop the bleeding. There were tears pouring down the younger man’s face as he stared in horror at his injured lover.

“Oh, God’s Zadei. I’m so so sorry. This is all my fault.”

Zadei fought back the numbness and took hold of those bloody hands, trying to push his angel away. He noticed with concern that his own hands were now shaking as badly as his lover’s.

“Tetius. Get the hell out of here. NOW!”

“No. Don’t run.”

The two men on the ground turned to stare at Lord Koloss as he spoke. Zadei could see the terror on Tetius’ face out of the corner of his eye. He tightened his hold on one slender hand, trying to give the pale young man some strength.

Lord Koloss laughed cruelly at the two of them as they huddled together. He beckoned to the winged man, snickering again as Zadei wrapped a weak arm around that pale waist.

“Come with me, little bird. If you do not, I will kill Emperor Zadei. He will not survive another one of my aura bursts. It is your choice, little bird.”

Zadei snarled again and attempted to tighten his hold on the delicate body beside him. He tried to ignore the fact that it was getting harder and harder to move every second.

“Don’t do it. Get out of here, Tetius. Run now!” Even his voice was getting weaker.

He found himself staring into tear-filled green eyes. Gods, he wanted to stroke those pale cheeks, and reassure his angel that everything would be all right, but he couldn’t summon his voice anymore. He felt his body slump dangerously as Tetius guided him to lay on the ground.

The pale young man turned to address Lord Koloss. “You promise that you will not kill him?”

No! Tetius, no!

“Yes, little bird. I will not kill him.”

Zadei watched as Tetius turned back to look at him once more. He couldn’t move at all anymore. It was painful to see his angel so tormented and not be able to do anything.

Suddenly, Tetius was leaning down and pressing his lips against Zadei’s own. The emperor closed his eyes, to concentrate on trying to move his arms.

Don’t! Don’t do this.

Zadei could feel Tetius’ tears dripping onto his face, and tried desperately to summon the strength to speak. Just one word. That was all that he wanted now.

Run! Please, Tetius. Don’t do what he wants.

Tetius’ lips were pulled away, and Zadei realized that he could no longer open his eyes. It didn’t matter how hard he tried, or how strong his desire to see his lover, there was nothing that he could do.

“I love you, Zadei.” The words were choked with sorrow, as Zadei felt Tetius move away.

Stop, stop, stop. Tetius, don’t go with that bastard. Please! Not for me!

“Good boy. Now come here.”

There was another surge of energy and suddenly Zadei knew that he was alone. Koloss must have had some sort of teleportation power to be able to move so quickly.

Zadei lay, unable to move, on the balcony floor, as blood continued to flow from his wound.
