Kris freshened up and changed into his dress clothes. Kris wasn’t big into fashion and basically stuck to simple dark pants and simple cut shirts. Matt came into his room.
Matt, “This place is amazing and I think Simon Cowell is pretty cool. Maybe Neil and Leila could stay down here for a few weeks.”
Kris, “I don’t know. We have to talk to Adam and tell him what is going on.”
Matt, “Hopefully, we will get to see him alone at the show or he will come back to the villa tonight.”
They went down to the play without Simon. The plan was for Neil and Matt to keep Leila busy so Kris could tell him what was going on back home. When they got there, the redheaded girl named Allison was in the dressing room with Adam. She was going over some invitations. After some small talk, Matt took Leila out to get some fresh air and Neil persuaded Allison to give him a tour for the 100th time.
Adam raised and eyebrow at Kris, “You are better off seducing me after the show, I can’t get all sweaty and screw up my makeup before.”
Kris just decided to ignore the comment, “There are some problems back home with the Gokeys.”
Adam’s light mood disappeared, “What kind of problems.”
Kris, “Rhonda Gokey is claiming your Mom is a witch and you are the devil.”
Adam relaxed and just rolled his eyes, ‘That’s really stupid, are people laughing at her?”
Kris, “Well, I think most people think it’s a bit much. But, there is also a lot of people that are jealous Simon is helping you and think your family doesn’t deserve to be part of the gentry again.”
Adam thought about it, “Well, I’ll bring it up to Simon and see what he thinks.”
Kris was concerned that Simon would be glad, “Are you sure Simon has your interest at heart?”
Adam looked at Kris, “I trust him.”
Kris, “Does he hurt you?”
Adam looked confused, “What are you talking about.”
Kris, “Adam, I saw the way he kissed you.”
Adam, “Yeah, that caught me off guard. He’s not usually so aggressive. Were not really going to have this discussion, are we?”
Kris knew Adam didn’t want to talk to him but pushed anyway, “Adam, what kind of show are you working on?”
Adam smiled wickedly, “One that your innocent eyes would not like. It is theatrical, sensual and sophisticated.”
Kris understood the underlying message, “Meaning everything I am not.”
Adam laughed, “Well, I don’t know.” Adam’s eyes got more intense. “I think you actually are kind of sensual.” Adam went close to Kris and lightly bit his neck. Kris closed his eyes and leaned his head back to give Adam more access. Adam ran his tongue over the area he just bit. Kris let out a small gasp. “Definitely sensual.” Adam went to move back put Kris grabbed him and tried to pull him back.
Adam looked down at Kris and was inching closer to kiss him. He suddenly pulled back and shook his head, “Kris, what are we doing?”
Kris, “I don’t know, responding? You were flirting with me.”
Adam laughed, “I am a flirt but you were supposed to keep brushing me off.”
Kris shrugged, “I guess I got confused and forgot my role.” Kris was staring into Adam’s clear blue eyes which looked like they were looking through his soul. He saw them change and turn cold, “Kris, don’t take me too seriously. I like a good time but I’m not that into inexperienced people. As you may have guessed, I have eclectic tastes.”
Kris felt like Adam had thrown daggers at him and wasn’t sure what he had done. What had Adam seen in his eyes? Surely, Adam did not think Kris was judging him.
Kris, “I thought maybe you liked me.”
Adam smiled, “I like you just fine, Kris, I am just not interested in having sex with you.”
Kris felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest. He didn’t know what to say. He was hurt but at least Adam was being honest, albeit brutally honest. “Then stop acting like you do, Adam. It is mean and you were never mean before.”
Adam looked at Kris again with softer eyes. “I am sorry, Kris. I told you I changed. I do want to stay friends. I will try not to be mean but it is really hard for me not be a flirt especially with cute guys.” Adam laughed and nudged him playfully.
Kris put on a fake smile, “You can really be a jerk.”
Allison came back into the dressing room and said the King’s niece is at the performance and wanted to meet him. Kris went out to find his group. He saw them sitting in the fifth row with one empty seat for him. Kris was still smarting from Adam’s harsh blowoff. Kris knew he wasn’t the hottest man in the realm but surely he was at least cuter than Simon. It was probably for the best since being involved with Adam would have been dramatic and possibly life threatening. Kris had temporarily forgotten Simon’s warning. He tended to forget a lot of stuff when he was around Adam, specifically the part where he isn’t gay!
~~~~~~
After the show, there was a small party that spilled over to a tavern. Matt was flirting with Adam and Kris hated it. Surely, Adam would not find Matt attractive after blowing him off. Kris felt like shaking Adam and saying “I’m cuter.” Instead, Kris was chatting with Allison who turned how to be a cool, spunky teenager. She seemed to think Kris was really funny and cute. Simon Cowell came in. For once Kris was glad since he would but Matt in his place. Simon was chatting with various people. He went by Adam and Matt and seemed to either ignore or not care about Matt’s increasingly indiscreet passes. That pissed Kris off because apparently the Giraud’s money made Matt a more suitable lover or put him in Adam’s league.
A rich looking young woman went over by Adam and was talking to him and looking at him with doe eyes. Adam was being very attentive.
Allison, “Oh geez. That is the King’s niece. She is totally obsessed with Adam. I heard she keeps asking the King to make Adam marry her.”
Kris was worried, “Would Adam marry her?”
Allison, “Well, I doubt the King would want his niece married to an actor, especially Glambert. Plus, I hear the Queen would be to jealous.” She giggled.
Kris, “What do you think of Simon?”
Allison, “I think Simon is powerful and someone you don’t want to piss off. He is nice to me. I like that he doesn’t treat servants or poor people different than rich people. He is mean to anyone he thinks is stupid and nice to people that are cool.”
Kris, “What about him and Adam. Is he nice to Adam?”
Allison shrugged, “Sometimes. He definitely protects Adam and makes sure no one messes with him. I think sometimes they get weird together.”
Kris was not sure what she meant, “You mean they get friendly?”
Allison rolled he eyes, “I work for Adam give me some credit. I know he gets “friendly” but I’ve heard stuff outside the dressing room and I have seen some…nevermind”
Kris, “Allison, I won’t say anything.”
Allison pulled Kris into a corner, “I’ve seen some marks, you know.
Kris was getting angry, “Like bruises? You think Simon beats Adam?”
Allison shook her head like she was worried, “Please just forget it.”
Kris could not, “Does Simon hurt him?”
Allison looked at Kris scared, “I saw Adam…be really mean. I saw him smack Simon hard and then he pulled Simon to…you know, make him feel good.”
Kris was not expecting that, “What! You think Adam beats Simon? I doubt Simon would take that.”
Allison, “Kris, I said I think they are weird. I’ve also seen marks like bites or scratches on Adam too. Adam is usually so sweet, it just kind of freaked me out to see him so mean. Plus, I am not sure what Simon did back but later that night the two just seemed back to normal.”
Kris, “When did that happen?”
Allison, “A couple days ago.”
Kris, “Is that the only time you saw something like that?”
Allison, “Yeah, I only saw that because I had gone back to the theater to grab some books and they did not know I was there. Please don’t tell him.”
Kris, “I won’t. I promise.” Adam was still talking to the King’s niece but Simon was trying to help Adam escape. Finally, Simon was able to guide Adam back over to Neil and Leila. Kris had noticed the patrons had changed. It was more of a mixed crowd with some commoners. The ale was flowing and people were getting more wild.
Adam came over, “Allie, why don’t you go with my Mom back to Simon’s villa. This is no place for innocent children or Moms.” Adam looked at Kris, “Actually, this may not be the place for you either.”
Kris, “Ha-ha, Will they be OK on their own?
Adam, “Sure, they will be in Simon’s carriage, no one would dare attack. Simon is sending the carriage down to get Kara anyway.”
Kris, “Kara, is going to come here and Simon is going to let her?” Kris could not imagine a lady coming into the tavern at this late hour and with this shady crowd.
Adam laughed.”You are so easily scandalized. Kara is a wealthy, titled, widow she is allowed to be wild and Simon likes that she is fun.” Adam turned to Allie and kissed her on the cheek affectionately, “Now go home with my Mom, that’s an order.” Adam grinned which totally discredited his attempt to be stern.
Allison pouted, “Yes, Master.”
Adam, “Stop mocking me besides tomorrow you can go swimming at the villa.”
Allison, “Can I sleep in your room?”
Adam, “I think I am coming back to the villa and you are getting a little too old for that, Allie.” Allison just batted her eyelashes pleadingly and Adam caved, “Fine, go ahead and cramp my style.”
Allison left and went by Leila, Neil and Simon. Kris was glad Adam seemed to still have a soft spot for Allison. Adam looked at Kris, “I guess I wouldn’t be too effective running an estate of servants.”
Kris, “I think you’d be great at anything you set yourself to do.”
Adam, “Thanks.” Adam grabbed two pints of ale when a server passed and handed it to Kris. Kris noticed Adam was drinking fast. A couple of costumers were calling out for Glambert to sing. There were some musicians with instruments. Simon came over, “Adam why don’t you sing a couple songs. You know test the waters.”
Adam raised an eyebrow, “From the new show?”
Simon, “Yeah but test the waters not dive in.” Simon looked at Kris. Kris instinctively moved a little bit way from Adam.
Adam, “Are there enough musicians?”
Simon, “Give or take some. The viola player may be too drunk to play.”
Kris did not think, “I can play viola.”
Adam and Simon looked at Kris in surprise. Adam, “Well then you must play. Simon, I’ll do it if Kris plays the viola.”
About an hour later Kris found himself sitting with some musicians playing a classic opera song. Adam sang it beautifully. Some of the brilliance of the performance was lost on the crowd but everyone seemed appreciative. Adam was instructing the musicians to play a song Kris did not know. Luckily, Kris had a great ear and could just pick up the tune. Kris had gotten over his nerves of playing in public since most people were drunk and enamored with Adam. He had no idea how Adam could take all the attention. Kris hated when he, himself, was the center of attention.
Adam stated in a sultry voice, “This is a new song that I never did in public so be nice.”
One of the women yelled out, “Glambert, let us show you how nice we can be.”
Adam just smiled and blew her a kiss. Kris watched as Adam transformed his manner and was now singing a very suggestive song. The patrons were going wild. Kris saw Kara come by the stage she sang a verse and ran her hand on Adam’s chest and then down his ass which made some guys call out vulgar comments. Adam pulled Kara against him and was singing his verse while moving his hips to rub against her. Kris was turning red because he had never seen something so sexual and forbidden. Kara broke away and was singing another verse. The song was about a couple engaging in a forbidden romance and then being split up to be with their socially acceptable partner.
Kara went by Simon and put her arms around him while finishing her verse. Adam sang a verse that spoke to the loneliness of his lover leaving and dreaming of being with her. Kris was getting aroused watching as Adam began touching himself right on the stage. Adam rand his hand over his obviously bulging package which made the crowd rowdier. Kris could not believe how confidant and sexy Adam could be. Adam then went by Matt and put his arms around Matt and started singing the next verse which was lighter and referred to just finding distractions from heartache. The patrons laughed as Adam went down on his knees with his hands on Matt’s legs. He ran one hand up Matt’s thigh and boldly over his crotch before standing up. Kara came back over and pulled Adam away from Matt and started singing about wanting Adam back. The song ended with Adam grabbing Kara and dipping her with an exaggerated kiss.
Kris definitely needed to catch his breath and let his arousal die down before standing. He watched as everyone was congratulating Adam and Kara. Simon walked by Kris, “You are actually a good with the viola. Too bad you are gentry, you could have been a musician.”
Kris just nodded, “Thanks but I like controlling my own life and not having to beg for my meals.”
Simon shrugged, “Control is relative. Listen, Adam spoke to me about the situation in your province. How serious is it?”
Kris shrugged, “I think there is a lot of jealousy and malevolence toward the Lamberts.”
Simon, “Neil and Leila can stay with me for a couple weeks and then I’ll send a few guys up with Leila and Neil to deter any aggression. I am going up there to visit the Sarvers and I will make it clear that Adam is my friend and I won’t tolerate anyone hurting him, his family or his property.”
Kris just nodded. He knew Simon didn’t like him. “Matt and I will head back in a couple days.”
Simon, “Make sure it is just a couple.”
Kris was buzzed and aggravated, “For the record, Matt is the one flirting and Adam isn’t interested in me so I don’t know why you are singling me out.”
Simon looked at Kris menacingly, “I am successful because I can read people and I my instincts are dead on. Matt can flirt and he can even fuck Adam for all I care because it doesn’t mean anything. You, however…I care. Again, I shouldn’t have to go over this again. Limit your contact with Adam or I will limit it.”
Simon walked away. Kris just wanted to go to bed. His head hurt, he was buzzed and frustrated. It was definitely time to call it a night. Luckily, the tavern was emptying out and everyone seemed to be tired. Matt, Adam, Simon, Kara, Neil and Kris all headed back to the villa. Simon and Kara went up to their room immediately. Neil was following Adam. Adam just pushed Neil, “Go to bed your not coming in my room to bother Allie.”
Neil, “It is not proper for you to be alone with her.”
Adam got annoyed, “She is my servant and I can do what I like. Stop being a jerk. You know she is like my sister and actually I prefer her over you as a sibling so go away.”
Neil just pushed Adam and went back to his room. Adam looked at Kris, “You played beautifully, tonight. I would love to hear you play again.”
Kris, “Sure, maybe when you come up to the province we can have a music night. Goodnight, Adam”
Adam smiled, “Sounds good. Sleep tight, cutie.” Adam went in his room and Kris went down the hall to his room. Kris laid down in his bed and thought about Adam’s performance and Adam touching himself…
