CHAPTER 4 - FIRE AND SHADOWS
The sun was rising over the horizon as Jace and Connor embarked on their journey, their horses kicking up dust as they rode through the outer gates of Crown's Keep. Their destination was the supposed location of the first dragon egg--Connor had determined its resting place was in Xylon Gate. The great wood was sparsely populated and known for its treacherous terrain, making it a perfect locale for safekeeping such a precious item.
Several hours into their ride, they came upon the Halsken River. The mighty river stretched through the entire western region of the kingdom, separating the more populated territories from the desolate areas, inhabited mainly by the Thornings. The Thornings had, in essence, ruled lands west of the Halsken because they were the only people interested in the area. No one could remember a time before the Thornings. They were masterful hunters, and there were rumors of cannibal tendencies amongst the most rural of the tribes. Jace had decided that they should follow alongside the Halsken, keeping close to its bank, in order to hopefully avoid any run-ins with the Thorning men.
The journey was taxing, and the two men enjoyed sharing stories of their pasts with each other. On their third evening, as they began searching for a place to set up camp for the night, Jace spoke of his time with the Covenant of Cloaked Knights.
"The Covenant was my family," Jace said, his voice carrying a mixture of pride and nostalgia. "We trained, fought, and lived together. The bonds we formed were deep, sometimes deeper than just camaraderie."
Connor glanced towards Jace, curiosity evident in his eyes. "What do you mean by `deeper'?"
Jace hesitated for a moment before continuing. "In The Covenant, intimacy wasn't uncommon. We believed that the closer we grew, the stronger we fought. Some of those bonds became physical. I myself had a few...intimate experiences with my brothers in COCK."
Connors eyebrows shot up, surprise and intrigue awash over his face. "Really? Care to tell me more, Ser?"
As they unpacked their supplies, Jace thought of the weight of Connor's question. Many members of The Covenant kept to a strict code of secrecy. But, he thought to himself, he had probably already broken the code with what had been disclosed so far, and he trusted Connor indubitably. The fire cracked, casting flickering shadows on their faces. The two men sat close to the flames, the sound of the saltwater river providing an ambient background.
Jace took a deep breath. "There was one night, after a particularly grueling battle. Kael, one of the knights, and I found ourselves alone in our encampment. We were both on edge, our adrenaline still pumping. We started talking, and one thing led to another. Before I knew it, we were kissing as our hands began exploring each others bodies."
Connor's eyes widened with interest. "What happened next?"
Jace's pulse began to quicken as he continued. "We stripped each other down, our bodies pressed together. Kael's touch was electric. We moved to the ground, and Kael took my cock in his mouth."
Jace looked up at Connor, making eye contact. He thought he noticed some movement in Connor's tight pants. The muscular legs filled them out nicely, and his bulge appeared to be growing.
"I can still remember the warmth of his mouth," Jace continued, adjusting his own bulge. "He was able to take all of my length, his nose pressed into my groin." He could now definitely see that Connor's bulge was growing. Jace could begin to make out Connor's cock snaking down the length of his pants, pressed tightly against the man's strong thighs.
"Go on, go on, Ser!" Connor's eyes had grown wider still, and he too noticed the outline of Jace's cock becoming more prominent in his own pants.
"At that point, Kael's mouth was driving me close to my breaking point, but I wanted more," Jace said, his voice growing quieter and deeper. He was unsure if he should continue his tale. He didn't want to overshare his experience and make Connor uncomfortable, but when he looked up and saw the way the handsome man hung onto every word he spoke, Jace knew he had to continue.
"I pulled out of his mouth, and immediately he began to object, but that's when..." Jace's voice trailed off, still unsure.
"When WHAT?" Connor begged. There was no hiding his own cock now, it was fully hard and throbbing in his pants, and he knew Jace could clearly see it.
"I rolled over onto my stomach," Jace said so quietly it was almost a whisper. "I needed him inside of me. Kael's cock was thick, and it had been far too long since I had been...filled." Jace stared deeply into Connor's eyes, enjoying the freeing feeling of sharing his sexual encounter.
Connor now seemed transported out of his own body. His hand was on his cock, rhythmically rubbing it while staring at Jace, looking the knight up and down. He was imagining this muscular, strong man on the ground in a tent, being impaled by one of his fellow brothers.
Jace began to rub his own cock as he continued. "It was as if he was trying to prove his strength. Kael rammed into me, giving me all of his power, and I loved it. I needed it. He went on like that for quite some time. It was intense, and raw. I came hard, and he followed almost immediately."
The air between the two men grew thicker, and Jace moved in closer to Connor, noticing a flush on his cheeks.
"Connor," Jace said, his voice dropping to a husky whisper. "I can tell you enjoyed the story." And with that, Jace placed a hand in Connor's lap and squeezed his cock. Connor let out a low moan, spreading his legs wider to give Jace easier access.
Jace's heart was pounding as he realized he was feeling that familiar desire to be filled again. Connor's cock throbbed in Jace's hand, and he squeezed it tighter, then released it. Their sexual tension had reached a breaking point. He leaned in, his lips so close to Connor's that he could see them trembling, as if he didn't know whether to speak of stay silent.
"I want you," Connor was finally able to whisper. That was all that Jace needed, and he bolted forward, closing the gap between the two men. Their lips parted and their tongues began to fight for dominance. Jace bit Connor's bottom lip, eliciting a guttural moan in the process. Connor's taste was intoxicating, and Jace's hands roamed over his body, feeling the hard muscles beneath his clothes. Connor responded to Jace's touch, his own fingers deftly undoing the laces of Jace's shirt.
They stripped each other quickly, discarding their clothing in a heap by the fire. Jace's eyes moved over Connor's naked form, drinking in the sight of him. He was the most handsome man he'd ever seen. His legs were bulging with his swollen muscles, leading to his strong, thick ass. He was covered in a light dusting of hair, Jace's eyes moved up to his cock. It was thick, with a prominent vein running along the top. In its current state, it curved upwards and throbbed with each breath Connor took. Jace's gaze moved to Connor's strong chest, with his tufts of hair swirling in between two large pectorals.
Jace's hand wrapped around Connor's cock, stroking him slowly. Connor moaned, and his hips bucked into Jace's hand. "Please, Ser," Connor begged, his voice was raw with need.
Jace didn't need further encouragement. He knelt before Connor, taking the full length of his cock into his mouth. Connor's hands tangled in Jace's hair, guiding him as he moved up and down the shaft. The taste of Connor on his tongue drove Jace wild, and he sucked harder. His own arousal growing with each moan and thrust Connor made, as his breath became ragged.
Jace stood up and stepped back slightly, allowing the fire to cast shadows over his rippling muscles. His chest heaved up and down, his nipples appeared just as hard as his cock. He slowly moved his hands over his body, squeezing his own chest before tracing over his own abs, and finally stroking his own cock. He enjoyed the reaction he was getting from Connor, whose eyes were glued to his movements. Connor's cock throbbed with need, and Jace smirked as he continued to tease the handsome man.
"Turn around," Connor spoke, the commanding tone nearly taking Jace by surprise. He complied, nonetheless, and turned to face the river, knowing the firelight would cast shadows over his toned back and muscular ass. Connor closed the gap between them, reaching around Jace's body and placing his hands over Jace's chest, rubbing his pectoral muscles.
"You're perfect," he whispered into Jace's ear before biting his neck softly. Jace moaned, yearning for Connor to continue his advances. With that, Connor placed his left hand in the center of Jace's lower back, causing him to bend slightly and arch upwards. At this moment, Jace embodied his family sigil, a dragon with an arched back. Connor continued to adjust Jace's stance, widening his legs and lining his cock up with Jace's ass. He pushed inside of Jace in one swift movement.
"Ooof," Jace grunted, first feeling the sizable cock forcing itself into him, but then immediately giving way to the feeling of immense pleasure. He took all of Connor's hard cock, pushing his own ass back in an effort to take it even deeper.
"Is this what you needed?" Connor asked, enjoying the feeling of leaning over the knight while penetrating him. Both men seemed to be competing for power--Connor thrusting into Jace like a battering ram, only to be met with Jace's strong ass pushing back just as enthusiastically.
Jace's hole was quickly driving Connor to the brink, the heat and tightness pushing him over the edge. Their bodies were moving together in sync, and Connor let out a deep moan as his cock unloaded into Jace's tight hole. Jace could feel the ropes of cum coating his insides, and the thought of this man breeding him caused him to explode without even touching his own cock. Moans from both men filled the air as the firelight danced over their entwined bodies. Connor removed himself from Jace as they collapsed onto the ground, still clinging to each other. Their bodies glistened with sweat, and they continued to hold each other as their hands traced over each other's bodies. As they began to drift off into sleep, a smile crept across Jace's face. If this was any clue as to how the rest of their journey would transpire, he was more than ready.
