Ein felt so anxious his stomach twisted
together in knots. He sat curled under a pile of furs on his platform in the
byre waiting for Radulfr to join him. And he was butt ass naked. It didn't
get anymore nerve racking than that.
He could hear people talking and laughing
outside his door and knew that they would be coming in at any moment. He
just wished that he had a little more time getting to know Radulfr or at
least talking with him before the big show.
The very thought that not only would Radulfr
be coming into the room in a moment but six other men that would watch them
have sex, made Ein grip the furs in his hands so tight that his knuckles
turned white.
He was scared enough about his performance
during sex with Radulfr considering that he'd never had sex before. Add in
the witnesses and Ein wasn't sure he was going to be able to do anything but
lie there. He was terrified.
When the door opened and Radulfr stepped
inside, Ein scooted up closer to the head of his bed and swallowed hard. It
suddenly felt hard to breathe like there wasn't enough air in the room to
take in.
"How are you doing, Ein?" Radulfr asked
softly as if his words were just for Ein and not the men still standing
outside. "Are you ready for this?"
Ein started shaking his head no until he
realized what he was doing. He swallowed again. "I think so."
Radulfr smiled as he walked across the room
to sit on the side of the bed next to Ein. He reached down and gently patted
Ein's leg. Ein saw it coming but the touch of Radulfr's hand on his body,
even through the furs, was still enough to make him jump. "It'll be okay,
Ein, I promise. There's not much to this."
"I'm not sure that’s a good thing or not."
Ein laughed nervously.
"I wanted a few minutes with you before the
others came in to make sure you were ready for what is about to happen." Ein
didn't jump this time when Radulfr patted his leg again and thought maybe he
wasn't quite so nervous now that Radulfr was here. "Do you have any
questions about what is going to happen?""
"Do they really have to watch us?" That’s
the part Ein was most nervous about. "I'm not sure I can pretend they're not
in the room."
"You let me worry about that. I have no
doubt I'll be able to keep you plenty distracted."
Ein was dying of curiosity to know what
Radulfr meant. He knew the basics of sex. He'd seen enough farm animals
copulate to know what was done. He just didn't know how things were done
between two people exactly.
"Will it hurt?"
"It might but I'll try to make sure there
isn't too much pain. The more we come together, the less it will hurt."
"This witnessing thing, do they have to
actually watch us or do they just have to be in the room? I mean, can we
cover up with a fur or something?"
"Unfortunately, no. The witnesses must see
me claim you in order for the requirements of the handsal to be
completed. If we were hiding under the furs we could later say that we faked
it and nothing really happened, thus nullifying the handsal. The
witnesses wouldn't be able to say otherwise."
"So…" Ein felt his face start to pale, "they
actually have to see it?"
"It?" Radulfr chuckled. "Yes, Ein, they have
to actually see me fuck you in the ass."
Ein felt his face go from cold and clammy to
burning hot in a split second. He gripped the fur in his hands tighter and
pulled it up to his neck. He absently noticed that his hands were trembling
and tried to hide them under the covers.
"Ein." Radulfr's voice was whisper soft as
he reached for Ein's hands. "I promise, it won't be as bad as you think.
You'll hardly even notice that they are in the room." Radulfr chuckled
suddenly. "Well, at least I hope you will be too distracted to notice."
"Ho-how do we do this?"
"You mean how do two men have sex together?"
Ein shrugged, too embarrassed to put voice
to what he was asking.
"You don't know?"
"Not exactly."
Ein's panic started to set in when Radulfr
grabbed the furs covering his naked body and started slowly pulling on them.
"What are you doing?"
Radulfr's amused smirk made Ein nervous. "I
think it would be better if I showed you rather than told you."
"Sh-show me?" Ein slapped his hand over his
mouth when his voice started to squeak. He felt like an idiot especially
when Radulfr pulled the fur farther down and exposed him, a low growl coming
from the man.
The fur down around his feet, Ein watched in
rapt anticipation as Radulfr moved to kneel on the platform bed, slowly
crawling up to cover him with his larger body. Ein felt the air leave his
lungs when Radulfr settled over him but he couldn't seem to draw anymore
back in.
"Radulfr," he panted when the man seemed to
just be watching him. Radulfr didn't make any move toward him other than
pressing their bodies together. He didn't touch or caress or kiss. He just
stared until Ein began to grow anxious. "What's wrong?"
"Do you have any idea how truly beautiful
you are?"
"Me?" He was squeaking again.
"Yes, you." Radulfr chuckled. "I know men
are supposed to be manly and handsome but you are more beautiful than most
women I know."
Ein frowned, not sure how he was supposed to
answer that. "I'm sorry?"
"I'm not. I think I will enjoy looking at
you for the next sixty years."
"Just sixty?"
"Well…" Radulfr finally moved, his hand
cupping around the side of Ein's face. "I hope for more but we live in
dangerous times. There's no telling what might happen to either of us. If
we're lucky, we'll have many years together."
"I'd prefer it."
Radulfr grinned. "Me too."
Ein's breath caught in his throat when
Radulfr leaned down and kissed him. This was only the second kiss he'd ever
received in his life and it was just as earth shattering as the first one.
Ein found it particularly interesting that they had both happened on the
same day and came from the same man. That had to mean something.
Right?
