The Lamberts arrived home an hour later. Adam guided Kris into his house and into the salon. Kara handed Phillip over to a maid and sat down. Leila looked uncomfortable. Adam grew irritated,
“What is wrong, mother?”
Leila hesitated looking for the right words, “I know Kris is your friend and he is in a bit of a situation but given the recent rumors perhaps it would be better if he stayed with Simon.”
Kara laughed, “Well since Simon will be staying here for a few weeks, we are good.”
“Why is Simon staying here?”
“Because, I missed him. Leila, if you want to pretend to be oblivious than don’t ask so many questions.”
“You are going to sleep with another man while your husband lies under the same roof?”
“Yes, especially since he is going to sleep with another man while I lie under the same roof.”
Adam laughed, “Subtle. Mother, we play a role for the world the second we step outside I am not about to pretend in my own home. If you don’t like it, I will set you up in a cottage or rent you rooms in town.”
“So, what about having more children?”
“Kara nearly died in childbirth and I am gay. I think we should consider ourselves ahead with Phillip. Kris, you look exhausted. I think it is time for bed. I lost at dice last night so we have the guest room.” Adam casually went by Kara and kissed her short on the lips, “Goodnight, my beautiful wife.” Adam grabbed Kris hand and was pulled him up to follow. Kris was confused that Adam was choosing not to hide their relationship from his family. As they went upstairs, Kris heard Leila telling Kara they could not live so sinfully once Phillip grew older.
Adam pulled Kris into a room and pressed him against the wall and started kissing him passionately.
“I’ve been wanting to do that all day. I know today was hard for you. I will try make it up to you tonight and every night from here on out.” Kris wasn’t sure if he believed it but decided for tonight he was satisfied with a fantasy. Adam was extremely worked up and intense. It felt good to give Adam control and follow his lead. Adam dropped to his knees and opened Kris’ breeches and pulled him out. Kris began to feel weak in the knees as Adam sucked and licked him. Adam’s hands were on Kris’ hips holding him up and still. Kris felt close but Adam released him from his mouth. Kris could feel Adam running his tongue along his balls and back toward his entrance. Kris was shocked to feel a tongue circling his entrance and pushing in. Kris froze and tried to pull away. Adam laughed and drove his tongue in again.
Kris was embarrassed and pulled Adam’s head back up,
“You’re shy with me? That’s OK, I will wear you down in a few years.” Adam stood up and grabbed Kris and threw him on the bed. He climbed up and straddled Kris after stripping off his clothes. He stared kissing Kris again. Kris reached for Adam to stroke him but Adam pushed his hand away, “I’m more than ready, I want you to just relax and let me make you feel good. Let me show you how much I love you and give you what I can to make up for all that you lost.”
Adam moistened his fingers and patiently prepared Kris. Once stretched, Adam tried to enter Kris slowly but Kris’ urgent need to be claimed took over. Adam pumped into Kris hard and deep. Although it hurt a little, the pain brought comfort and fullness to Kris. They made love for what felt like hours. Kris woke up sore and exhausted. Adam was still sleeping. He heard the door open and Kara came in with a servant carrying a tray of coffee and biscuits. Kara directed the maid set it up on the small table and then dismissed her. Kris was embarrassed by her presence since he was sure the room smelled of sex and it was clear what they had done.
“Relax, our servants are loyal. Come have some coffee with me. Adam can sleep through a war our talking won’t wake him.”
Kris was scanning the room for a robe. Kara seemed to figure out the problem and handed him a robe. Kris got up and wrapped it around himself. He noticed Kara watched and wasn’t quite sure how he felt about that.
“Is Simon here?”
“He is staying here but he has left for the morning. I find he has become an attractive lover since he is sterile and I am scared to death of getting pregnant again.”
“That’s good than you won’t make Adam come to your bed.”
“He is my husband, you have no right to be possessive.”
“You are right, Kara. I have no claim here.”
Kara smiled, “Your claim is on his heart. I just got a ring and a name. We have all had hard times and a lot of up and downs. My first husband was 30 years my senior and an abusive pig. I want to live happy and love freely. I am sorry you had to give up your family and your land but we can be your family.
I know the relationship between Simon, Adam and myself seems strange but it works. Keep an open mind and we can all live in harmony.” Kara smiled mischievously, “Well sort of, we are still stuck with Leila and Neil.”
Kris laughed. “Thank you, Kara. I am not sure Simon will be as welcoming as you but I am grateful to be here.”
“Simon, is just upset you took his toy. He’ll get over it. Katy and Daniel will get along well. They spent a lot of time together while you were away.”
“Katy is a good person.”
“So are you, Kris. We can’t help who we love.”
Adam woke up and got up. Kara looked at Adam standing naked, “Such a waste,” Adam laughed and went into the water closet to relieve himself. He came out and pulled on breeches before joining them for coffee.
“Simon still asleep?”
“He went over to the Sarvers to speak to Prince David before he heads back to Mauritia.”
Adam nodded and turned to Kris, “So what shall we do today?”
Kris looked at Adam, “You should visit your lands and see what has gone on in your absence.”
Adam groaned, “That isn’t very fun.”
“No but important. I’ll try and make it more exciting for you.”
“Really?”
Kris just gave him a lopsided grin.

Everything seemed to settle down. Katy and Daniel headed back to Mauritia with Prince David. Neil Allen was stubborn and refused to acknowledge Kris. Kris could not visit his mother but Kim did come over to visit Leila. Kim Allen was sad for Kris and disappointed. Kris was not sure if Leila told his mother about him being with Adam. Still three months later, Kris was happy at Adam’s estate. He was running most of the estate with Adam only mildly interested. Simon stayed with them often and so far had made no attempt to have Adam “entertain” him. Kris was not convinced that things would remain so happy and carefree. In fact, he noticed Adam was becoming withdrawn and distant.
More troubling was that Adam had reacted strangely to Kris’ sexual overtures for the past few nights. He would respond enthusiastically to Kris touching him often becoming aggressive. Kris tried to go with it but could not control his tenseness and fear that Adam might hurt him. Adam would notice the hesitation become angry, pushed Kris away and slept in Phillip’s room. The next day, Adam would just apologized and claim he was feeling ill. Kris was worried this was becoming a pattern and start of the end of their relationship.
Simon returned after staying away two weeks. Dinner seemed tense because Adam was being increasingly frustrated and morose. Simon looked at Adam,
“What is wrong with you? Isn’t Kris keeping you adequately entertained?”
“Simon, don’t start with me tonight, I don’t have time for your games.”
“Really? Are you too busy moping about getting everything you thought you wanted?”
“Shut up and stop causing trouble.”
“Kris, are you too busy running Adam’s estate because he seems…frustrated.”
Adam suddenly grabbed Simon’s hair violently and pulled his head back and was saying something in his ear. Kris looked at Kara and Kara reacted,
“Adam, let go of Simon. You two can play your games after dinner.”
Adam let go, “I am not playing.”
“Maybe that is the problem,” Simon winked.
Adam just got up and stormed out of the room. Kris wondered if he should follow. Simon seemed to notice his dilemma,
“I would let him cool off.”
“Why are you pushing him?”
“Because I enjoy it and I wanted to see how much longer I had to wait.”
“What are you waiting for?”
“I am waiting for his dark side to takeover.”
Kara rose stating she was going to spend quality time with the most mature man in the house, her son Phillip. She kissed both Kris and Simon on the head and walked out. Kris just looked at Simon and shook his head, “You think Adam is still you’re your toy?”
“No, actually you are the toy. You are the toy I am allowing Adam to have. His shiny, little toy he can shower affection on and protect.”
Kris was confused and could not hide his bewildered expression. Simon laughed coldly,
“You see Adam and I had a perfect relationship except for the times Adam would get sentimental and crave affection. I hated those times and don’t feel that way towards a man. I like him fierce and passionate. I love the aggressive, heartless Adam. So, you seemed like a good solution. He could waste all those sappy, submissive emotions on you and I could just have the exciting, dominant side. So all I have to do his sit back and wait for him to come to me because he doesn’t want to show his true nature to his pretty, little toy. I’d say two maybe three days and Adam will seek me out.”
“You are delusional.”
“Am I? Haven’t you noticed him acting like a caged animal? He is moody, depressed and apathetic. I can read Adam like a book and he is bored.” Simon finished his wine, “I think tomorrow I will invite Adam out for a ride. I hope you don’t mind not getting invited but you would be in the way.”
“Why can’t you leave him alone?”
“I could but he would seek me out anyway. Don’t be so arrogant and obtuse to think you would be enough for Adam. Wouldn’t you rather the devil you know then him seeking a release with someone else.”
“No, I’d rather he just look to me.”
“What is your obsession with monogamy? It is boring and you are boring. I really can’t see why Adam thinks you are so special. I told you from the start it would never work between you two and now I know I am right. Adam likes to be sexy, flirty and free and you want to be domestic, committed and dull. It is like oil and water. Too bad you gave up everything for something temporary.”
Kris stood up and just walked out angry. He hated Simon for his words and hated that they might be true. He felt like he was losing Adam and wasn’t sure what he could do to prevent it. He wasn’t sure if Simon was manipulating him or being honest. Kris could not believe he was contemplating willingly allowing Adam to be with Simon in hopes of fixing whatever was broken between them. Kris also realized perhaps it wasn’t outside pressure that would break them but their differences between them. Kris hoped he had the courage to confront Adam but wasn’t sure he was prepared to hear the truth.
He went up to Phillip’s room and saw Adam sitting in a chair holding Phillip in his arms. Kris smiled at Adam and thought he never looked more beautiful and vulnerable.
“You are such a doting father.”
“I know but he is so perfect. I wish he could stay this little and easy forever. I am worried he will inherit my moods or Kara’s temper.”
Kris laughed, “He’ll probably get both. What is wrong Adam? Do you regret me being here?”
Adam looked up at Kris with pain in his eyes. Kris could not deal with hearing Adam’s regret and ran out of the room. He heard Adam call after him but he just fled. Kris left the house and grabbed the horse Adam gave him. He rode not even knowing where he could go.
