Arivid returns to find his room empty, a small hand written note lying on his pillow. He picks the note up and with an astonished cry after reading it "Dear Arivid. I've gone to stay with Yuki. I'll be back in the morning if you get this before I have returned. I'll take care of your wounds. I love you, Seth."

Arivid lies on the bed and cries himself to sleep thinking of Seth in Baki and Jhefre's arms.

Seth clings to Baki's chest and sobs heavily. Every so often he manages to stop long enough to get out a few sentences. "Why does he do this? What's the purpose?"

Baki holds him gently, though he will deny it if asked. "I don't know Seth, just stop crying. Everything will be alright in the morning. It always is. Just calm down enough for me to get something to drink for the both of us or I'll make you drink something you maybe don't want to have forced down your throat."

Seth finally nods and stops crying and sits back against the wall for a few minutes. He suddenly smiles wantonly at Baki and spreads his legs "You want someone to please you tonight? I won't charge or bite... hard." He runs a hand down his chest and stops right over his crotch.

Baki shakes his head "Come on, Priest. You don't need to do this..." He gasps watching the man pull up his skirt and start working himself up. He rushes over to Seth and grabs his hands forcing them against the wall. "No, Seth! Listen, you shouldn't be doing this! As much as I like to watch you squirming under me, this is wrong. Just go back home."

Seth shakes his head "I can't do that. Pharaoh is with Arivid... I can't go home and interrupt them together. It would be suicide... Just let me stay here. Do whatever you want to with me. I promise not to scream no or cry rape." Seth's please fall on deaf ears as the man is picked up and walked unceremoniously out the door.

Baki sighs as he is walking. "Listen, Seth, I promise to make you happy when you are in a mood I can deal with. Right now you are crazy and I have no idea what I should be doing." He trudges up the road to the Palace with a chuckle. "Won't General be surprised to see me throwing you into his window?" He continues to laugh while sneaking in to the palace grounds holding a somewhat struggling Seth tight to his side. Baki marches straight up to Seth's window and props it open. He peers in and gasps, nearly dropping his precious cargo.

Seth meeps softly and grabs Baki's kilt "What is it Baki? Something wrong?"

Baki shakes his head, seeing the large, mean looking eyes staring straight at him. Baki inclines his head slightly to the General lying on the bed who nods back. Baki sighs in relief and heaves Seth up and over his shoulders and on to the floor just inside the room. "Take care of him, General. He needs it now." Saying this, he drops to the ground and trots off, obviously having no intention of stealing the goods tonight.

Seth lies on the floor for a few minutes writhing in pain as he hit his arm first. He manages to climb to his feet several minutes later and hobble over to the bed. As he lies down he becomes aware of a large muscular presence in the bed. "Arivid? Is that you?"

Arivid grunts and wraps his arms around the man "Of course it's me. Who else would be in this room?"

Seth nods and turns over to snuggle into his chest. "I thought you would be with Pharaoh all night. Why are you home early? Are you hurt badly?" He starts poking and prodding Arivid to ensure that no serious harm has come to his lover.

Arivid takes Seth's hands and brings them to his lips "I am fine, Tiger. I wouldn't let Pharaoh take me this time. I just couldn't allow it…" Arivid turns away from Seth, his broad shoulders hunching in depressing thought. "Why do you go to Baki and Jhefre when I am not here to hold you? Why does the entire city hear your screams and moans when you are with them?"

Seth gasps and reaches for Arivid, but thinks better of it and pulls back "Arivid… I-I'm sorry, but I just feel comforted by being in that house when there is no one at the Palace to keep me company. Since the Queen died, I haven't had anyone to talk to when you are out in the field or otherwise with the soldiers for an extended period of time… I don't scream that loud unless you're thrusting into me. I always long for your touch. Their poor substitute only fuels the fire of my desire for you…"

Arivid shakes his head. "I don't believe you, Seth… Isn't my love enough to keep you faithful to only me?" He rolls over so that he can see Seth's face when the question is answered. "Is there something I have or haven't done to make you want to stay here every night waiting for me?"

Seth sighs sadly. "I-I'm so sorry Arivid… I don't mean to hurt you. You know I don't love anyone the way I love you I would rather die than cause you any harm. I do go to that house because it makes me feel comfortable when you are not around to hold me… Sometimes Baki and Jhef… Well, they get really aroused sometimes like we do and they take out their frustrations on me. If I say no, they say that they paid my father for me, so I have to do what they say. If I don't, I'll have my arms or legs broken and my skull crushed in. Do you want me to stay in the Palace from now on? I'll do whatever you want, Arivid. Just say the word and it's done."

Arivid shakes his head and turns over and pets Seth gently, with a loving hand. "Seth, you know I don't want you to be hurt by anyone other than myself. It's not something I think highly of at all. But at the same time I wish you would stay here instead of going there. I just want you to be faithful to me of your own volition. Not because I am telling you to."

After several minutes of Arivid listening to Seth's gentle breathing, he slips a hand down the priest's back. Arivid chuckles about Seth arching into the touch causing him to look like the female Palace cats when they allow themselves to be petted. "My little tiger," he purrs and starts to move around behind Seth. "Will you roar for me, tiger?"

Seth looks up at him confusedly "What do you mean, Arivid?"

Arivid grins and pushes Seth's skirt up over his hips as well as pulling up his own kilt. He positions the head of his member and starts to press in slowly. "Will you roar for me, tiger?" he queries as he suddenly slams the rest of his length into his lover.

Seth's eyes widen so as to seem that they will pop out of his head. His throaty screams can be heard throughout the Palace and down into the town. Seth's scream turns into whimpers and clutches the sheets of Arivid's bed, forcing himself to keep from clamping down around his lover.

Arivid pets Seth gently, leaning down to nuzzle his ear. "Thank you, tiger. You're such a wonderful man. I promise I'll give you something special when I've finished."

Seth nods and tears at the bedsheets "Alright Arivid. I'm ready…"

Arivid grins and starts to pound into the man beneath him. "You belong to me, Seth. This is mine!" He ignores Seth's screams for him to slow down. He thinks about all the times Atemu has had Seth in this same position and done these same things to the Priest. "You're mine! Only I should be allowed to make you scream and bruise your hips and loosen you."
Seth screams and whimpers for Arivid to be gentler with him. "Arivid! Arivid stop, you're hurting me!"
Arivid slams forward against Seth's prostate eliciting a scream that could be heard throughout the Palace. Arivid smirks and leans down to nip his throat "Now, now, Priest. You like this, you always do. Don't you remember what you said to Ra back in your house? You like it rough! You like to have this done to you! I'm just giving you what you want for once!"

Seth's eyes widen at the sudden realization that his lover will not stop. He continues to implore Arivid to slow down or stop. "Please, Arivid! Please, please stop! You misheard… Please stop…" His voice takes on a defeated tone, the protests falling on deaf ears. He screams again with the engorged flesh driving into new depths of his anal canal, the torn flesh producing blood to act as a natural lubricant.

Arivid purrs watching the writhing man, his eyes clouded with lust. He drives forward for several more minutes and comes to a blinding release hearing Seth's final scream before the younger man passes out. Arivid grins wickedly and pulls out. He stands up and straightens his clothes "Slut Priest, you really should be careful about what you say aloud. It can get you in trouble."
