Alistair finding Aster in a library trying to read when Alistair just wants some attention.
“Helllllloooooo...” Alistair stage-whispered, slowly tugging Aster’s book down. “Are you finished reading yet?”
Aster smirked. “Not quite, my love. Just let me finish this chapter. I’ll meet you at our bed.”
“Come on...” Alistair whined, motioning to Barksy, who had his head in Aster’s lap and was blissfully huffing, Aster’s fingers absently scratching behind his ears. “Even Barksy’s getting more attention than I am.”
A bark from the hound. Alistair glared at him. “Well, that was uncalled for.”
Aster reached his hand out to ruffle the kneeling Alistair’s hair. “I’ll always give you my attention, love.” He smirked. “Trystan?”
The handsome guard slowly walked around a bookshelf, a novel in his hand. “Yes, my lord?”
“The King needs to be escorted to his chambers and... entertained.”
Trystan grinned. “Is that so? I think I can manage that.”
“Use the ropes. I do enjoy coming back to have him waiting for me like that.” Aster winked.
“Am I going to get a say in this?” Alistair asked, chuckling. Trystan simply picked him up and hoisted him over a shoulder, making sure to cup his ample rear. “So, no, then?”
“You’re mouthy tonight, Alistair.” Trystan purred. “Should I use one of the gags, Aster?”
The roles had shifted. Now they were just three men planning a naughty session of fun. Aster nodded. “Yes... he likes that. I’ll be there shortly. Make sure that neither of you succumbs to temptation. Got it?”
Trystan smirked. “Of course.”
Alistair chuckled. “We’ll see about that.” He winked at Aster. “See, I don’t know why I’m not silenced and restrained already!”
“We’ll see you soon.” Trystan promised, carrying the King off.
“All I wanted was to read.” Aster sighed, knowing he’d never be able to concentrate now.
