Part 40 - The Weirdest Of Nights

 

The old Georgian houses on Fitzroy drive were large solid structures, thick walls and heavy doors in each room. The advantage was that noises seldom carried around the house. The four of them sat there finishing their drink, Nick still had his arm around Max's shoulder keeping him very close. Alex was now sat between Liam's legs resting back against his chest. Even after all that had happened in the last few weeks and now having a boyfriend where they doted on each other, Liam still provided that safe and secure place that Alex had built with him. The mumblings of the them talking as Nick was asking tons of questions about the different places on his hit list to visit with Max, Liam and Alex spoke of how much his love for Max had nearly wrecked him inside and still unable to fathom out how or why he felt this way. All he did know was that it was completely right, everything he wanted or needed was there, every time he saw Max his body exploded in euphoria. Even now as Max was sat on the other side of Nick their hands still managed to touch and hold. Nick once referred to them as two young idiots in love and blind to anyone else, Max had responded and told Nick that he was not immune and one day when he least expected it that person would stand in front of him. Whilst Nick had laughed it off he never expected that in January Max's word would ring true.

Nick leaned over to Alex "Can I take your man to bed?" he asked.
Alex glanced over at Max who seemed a world away "If he will allow you" he replied.

Nick kissed Alex on the head and looked to Liam nodding down to Alex, he smiled holding Alex tighter in his arms. Nick let go of Max and stood up holding his hand out to him, Max grinned and offered his hand letting Nick help him to his feet, chuckling at the way Alex had sold him out to the protection officer. The arms moved swiftly around his body finding himself up close and personal with Nick, the kiss came from nowhere and Max found his body lifting off the ground in his arms being walked over to the bed. Max was lowered and his hand went round rubbing Nick's groin feeling the size of the erect cock hidden beneath his clothing. Looking up he almost drooled as Nick removed his shirt exposing his body, muscles and tattoos, Max felt his hole body aching in excitement, his cock getting instantly hard from staring up at the body alone. His own body was jelly in the hands of this man who easily removed Max's clothes leaving him naked and exposed on the bed. Max leant up and kissed his chest biting and licking all over whilst his hands undid the belt, the button and finally lowering the zip and pushing Nick's trousers down. Nick let out a soft moan and shuffled forward pushing Max's head down letting him taste his man hood and to know what was coming. His legs were solid like tree trunks, Max's hands roamed over them feeling the muscles whilst his mouth tried to cope with the size of this man. He was fixated on the chest though, the six pack was so defined that when he ran his hands over it his cock jumped sporadically. Nick looked down clearly noticing that Max was a chest man and allowed him to take over by releasing him from sucking his cock. Max kissed upwards and rubbed his face and hands all over Nick's chest and arms, kissing all the tattoos and looking at them in closer detail. Nick moved his hand down Max's chest then round the back touching his firm arse cheeks that he played with for several minutes, slowly moving his hands inwards until his two index fingers found his opening and teased it, rubbing it, prodding it, pulling it apart gently. All this had Max moaning and burying his face hard in to Nick's sternum whilst his hands held on to the biceps massaging them.

Alex and Liam sat on the floor watching the scene unfold, for Alex it brought back some very exciting memories and knew exactly how that felt and what Max must be feeling right now. Nick was a master at the craft of sex and knew exactly how to excite his sexual partner, he had enjoyed both the aggressive and soft nature of Nick. His own hand was inside Liam's zipper softly rubbing his cock, Liam had his hands inside Alex's shirt stroking his chest softly and kissing his neck.

Their bodies seemed to dance as one on the bed and seamlessly Nick positioned himself behind Max as they knelt on the bed, his cock rubbing up and down between the soft firmness of those arse cheeks. The arms holding Max hard up against his chest, his head flopping back resting against Nick's shoulder and neck. Nick drew his cock down further then pushed up slowly as the precum hit against Max's hole moistening it. The more movement Nick made the more precum he produced and max could feel his hole was getting slippery and wet, his cock teasing at the hole pushing the precum in that had Max moaning with soft erotic noises. Max moaned at the dull yet noticeable pain he felt 'Go easy, you are a sizeable man' he said softly turning his head to look at Nick who kissed him delicately in return. Gently Nick moved his hips and in a circular motion stretching Max's hole little by little in every direction whilst tenderly pushing a little more inside, holding Max and around his chest and kissing his neck he repeated the process feeling the body in his arms responding each time more of him went inside until he felt his balls pressed up against the soft young arse. Max moaned louder as his hands stroked Nick's thighs, a spine tingling sensation running up and down his back. All he could think of was how Alex tried to explain what sex with this man was like. He kissed Nick then glanced over to Alex who was watching so intently, a look of envy and enjoyment in his lovers eyes as his view moved with his body being pushed down on to the bed. Max let out quiet cry of excitement feeling the immense power of the body now lying on top of him. It was like he could feel the muscles in Nick's arse flexing and driving his cock in deep penetrating movements. He was allowed a few minutes to savour the thrilling enjoyment of this mans body on top that had him completely immobilised underneath. His arse pushing up and grinding against Nick's cock in a desperate need to feel it again and again. Nick kissed the back of his neck and moved his entire body forward and back, Max let out another cry of pleasure feeling his cock pull a little way out then back in with vengeance. Powerless to do anything and never having felt anything quite so sexually adventurous he could only let his cries of pleasure do the work as Nick repeated his movements. The warmth of his breath floated across his neck and ear lobe, unable to resist Max turned his head and kissed Nick in a hungry moment for sex 'You ready for me?' Nick asked softly running his tongue over Max's ear, he nodded letting out another erotic moan and pushing his arse up again. His body pulled up until he was on his knees, the hands gripped hard at his waist holding him poised for action. The unknown was causing palpitations in his breath, was he going to go hard or gentle? Max had no inclination of what was about to happen in front or behind, all he could feel was sublime tenderness in Nick, gentle movements in his hips that allowed enough momentum to let Max feel how deep he was inside.

On the floor Alex watched the muscular body of Nick, an image that looked so perfect. His own protection officer's cock was rock hard 'Are you horny?' Alex asked him and without waiting for a response 'Let Max suck you' he suggested wondering if it was a step too far for Liam with Nick and Max in the room. His hand wandered down in to Alex's underwear feeling his prince turned on, Liam kissed him then stood up and dropped his trousers. He felt a little embarrassed and nervous since he had never done this with anyone apart from Alex or with people able to watch. There was an undeniable feeling of being turned on watching Nick and Max at it, and well it was only a blow job he was going to get so it didn't seem that weird he thought walking over to the bed. Nick looked at Liam and smiled hinting for him to take to the front. Without a word Liam knelt on the bed and Max looked up at him, he saw in Max's eyes what he had seen in Alex's when they had sex. It was uncanny how they had the same mischievous sexual sparkle in their eyes during sex, to Liam it was quite a turn on seeing this and he knew it was what drove him to enjoying sex with Alex. He looked at Nick and his glistening body that was almost statue like, only his arse was making any kind of movement and from how Max was reacting it obvious he was getting incredible pleasure, he smiled at Nick then gasped. Max had taken Liam's cock in his mouth and sank three quarter of the way down before spluttering and having to pull back a little. Finally tasting Liam and knowing whose cock he was sucking was almost too much for him and he struggled to contain his excitement and desire to orgasm. Nick released one hand from Max's waist and grabbed Liam behind the neck pulling him forward and kissing him briefly. Alex sat up wondering if Nick was pushing Liam too far but he pulled back without batting an eyelid and holding Max's head on his cock. Nick replaced his hand and gripped hold of Max even tighter as he began to draw back more and thrust in with more power, the result had Max's head going forward on Liam's cock. An instinct in Liam had him hold Max's head letting Nick provide the motion of Max going down on his cock with the fast thrusts he began delivering, still he retained an element of tenderness. He was loving the look on Liam's face the closer he got to orgasm, he was switching how he fucked Max frequently and each time the result was expressed on Liam's face.

Alex undressed and knelt on the bed watching closer for a minute then kissing Liam in a long lingering tongue exploration, the sight of which almost caused Nick to ejaculate. Alex smiled and kissed Liam gently again then moving down the bed a little he did the same to Nick. With Max sucking his cock and seeing Alex kiss Nick it was too much for Liam and he groaned thrusting his hips forward. At the same time Max tightened his lips around the shaft of Liam's cock feeling the quick pulse and his mouth suddenly flooding with Liam's cum. Alex and Nick both watched Liam roll his head back moaning, his hands held Max on his cock as the throbbing persisted until the very last drop of cum was expelled. Liam let out another groan and looked down 'Swallow' he said still holding Max's head. He felt the movement in Max's mouth and Liam smiled letting go and pulling his cock out 'Good boy' he added stroking his head. Quick shuffling on the bed and Max found Alex looking at him briefly before kissing him deep then giggling, his mouth forced open again with Alex's cock that he began to work on gently and gagging each time his body thrusted forward by Nick's fucking. Liam sat at the top of the bed leaning against the headboard, his cock still poking up and rock hard. Alex pulled his cock out and kissed Max then moved over to Liam kissing him gently, turning around to face Max and Nick he straddled across Liam's lap slowly lowering his arse down on Liam's cock. Only managing to get half way down before Liam wrapped his arms around Alex pulling him back and down sharply on his cock. Alex stifled his cry as Liam raised his knees locking the prince in position, Max looked on lovingly at Alex as his view allowed him to see Liam's cock embedded in his boyfriend. His balls already slapping away at Alex's arse as he wasted no time in his desperation to fuck Alex.

Max suddenly became focused on his own endeavour when suddenly feeling that Nick had picked up the pace and his hands held him even harder pulling him back on his cock with each thrust. The speed was increasing and Max felt like he was going to burst open as his entire body was engulfed from the power of the fucking he was now taking. The minutes went by then seamlessly it slowed to a gentleness that had Max confused and bewildered as he regained some sense. The moans coming ahead of him, the tapping of balls rapidly hitting against his boyfriend arse. Alex was holding on to the sheet for support as his body was thrusted up and down so fast it had Max looking on in amazement at Liam who looked so natural at it, Max chuckled straight my arse he thought to himself. He was glad of the reprieve from his own intense fucking Nick was giving him. They were both watching Alex and Liam noticing Alex's fists clenching harder on the sheet his cock bouncing around in the air and started firing cum, the first ribbon of seed firing high over Max's  head and landing partly on his back and Nick's chest. The second flew off somewhere to their left and making Max and Nick chuckle and forgetting what they were doing. Suddenly his body was suspended up on Liam's cock, his orgasm evident with his balls tightening up and tiny visible signs of the contracting within them. Liam moaned several times before he dropped his hips bringing them both back down on to the bed, panting furiously and still pushing his cock in deep, Alex let out a delicate moan and kissed Liam. Nick used a finger moving the cum on his chest and Max's back towards Max's arse and used his cock to push it inside Max, he knew what Nick was doing and it made his legs tremble arousing him even more at the devious side of Nick. He pushed his cock all the way back inside Max then out and back in again working Alex's cum deeper inside Max before he pulled out.

Max found his body being rolled over on to his back as Nick moved between his legs hoisting them over his shoulder. For the first time Max was able to look up and the incredible body and handsome face of this protection officer, ignoring the mild discomfort of Nick's cock penetrating him from a different angle until he was deep inside. Max raised his hands and stroked Nick's chest and arms, he was allowed to do this several times before Nick pinned his arms down above his head. He smirked and leaned down giving Max a kiss, strangely Max felt like it was a warning kiss that he was ready to breed. Sure enough he slowly began to push hard and deep in to Max each time he gradually built the speed almost teasing Max who knew what was coming now. Faster and harder, his balls slapping like jungle drums the beat getting quicker and quicker. Max stretched his head back 'Oh god!' he gasped as his prostrate was ravaged rendering him unable to stop the inevitable result, his cock exploded with anger the shots came so quickly Max closed his eyes, desperately wanting to shout as his body convulsed from the intense orgasm he reached. He had no control over it himself, it was being driven by Nick who relentlessly continued fucking. Max took a sharp gasping breath in and his arse muscle tightened around Nick's cock for a few seconds before they lost control. The action making the cocks path easier and Nick felt the change and the rippled effect ran up his cock and through his body bringing his orgasm on. Releasing Max's hands he dropped forward taking him in to deep kiss grunting in to Max's mouth with deep growls pushing his hips up hard and holding still as he let the cum flow effortlessly in to Max. His back arched the harder Nick pushed his hips against Max who wrapped his now free arms around the muscular body clasping them together helping to ride out the orgasm. Max felt the body in his arms lose tension and begin to relax, Nick stopped kissing and looked down at the cheeky grin on Max's face then looked up towards Alex who smiled and nodded whilst Liam was still had hold of him on his cock. Max gave a rather loud slap on Nick's arse and he looked back down him jabbing his cock several times and laughing watching Max's expression changing. Leaning down and kissing Max one more time Nick slowly pulled himself out of Max and rolled on to his back smiling.

Alex turned his head and kissed Liam then lifted himself off his cock. He was half expecting Liam to put on underwear or something but he laid back against the pillows with a look of satisfaction on his face. Alex smirked at him and crawled over the bed and kissed Max furiously, his response was to pull Alex on to his back and pin his arms over his head. Max smiled and lovingly kissed Alex working his cock in to his boyfriends arse where he slowly made love to him in front of Liam and Nick. His body still wired from sex with Nick that he didn't take long to finish expressing his love for Alex. The connection in their eyes almost bringing Nick to tears seeing such love and devotion between these two struck of chord desire in his heart. Max kneeled up on his knees stroking Alex's legs then carefully pulling free. The four of them were exhausted after the busy day and it was already 2am. Alex crawled up lying next to Liam and facing Max who had Nick cuddled up against him. 

Alex and Max laid there staring in to each others eyes "I love you" Alex said.
Max kissed him "I love you Alex" he replied as they stroked each others cheeks.
Liam chuckled and lifted his head "I love you Nick" he jokingly said.
Nick lifted his head "Fuck off!" he said smiling, "I love you as well" he added hugging Max harder.
"Pack it in!" Max complained feeling his cock rubbing between his cheeks.
Nick kissed him on the neck "You got a busy day in the morning showing me around!" he reminded Max.

Max giggled as Nick parked his cock between his arse cheeks, it was the last thing he remembered before falling asleep.

Max was wide awake by 8am and Alex stirred from his movement, kissing Alex softly he slipped out of bed and put some boxers and t-shirt on and went off to make coffee. After several trips up and down the stairs he returned with one for Franco and knocked on the door to his room and peeked in to find it empty and the bed not even slept in. Alex came out of the bedroom rubbing his eyes yawning.

"How are you after last night?" Alex asked kissing Max.
Max shook his head "My arse is sore as hell" he replied quietly.
Alex smiled "Sorry I should have warned you about Nick" he said chuckling, "What are you doing?".
"Looking for Franco. Come on" Max said heading towards Sam's room at the end of the landing.

Max quietly opened the door the door and chuckled as Alex peered over his shoulder. Lying on the bean bags partly still dressed was Sam and Franco fast asleep with the game sill on the TV paused where they had got up to.

"I think Sam has a new friend" Max suggested looking at them both.
Sam woke startled "What time is it?" he asked waking Franco up with his movement.
Sam looked around then laughed "Dam fell asleep playing" he said grabbing the coffee from Max.
"Hey that is for Franco" Max said trying to get it back but Sam stuck his fingers up at his brother.
Sam took a gulp of coffee before Franco got it off him "Mine!" Franco said chuckling.
Sam stretched looking at Alex and Max "Which one of you was getting banged last night?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" Max replied trying dismiss it as nothing.
Sam looked at Franco who was smirking "One of you was getting it good and hard, we heard" Sam replied.
"Oh that was your brother" Alex replied casually getting a stern look from Max.
"I didn't think you had it in you to go at it like that" Sam said looking quite surprised at Alex.
Alex grinned "I wasn't, Nick was.. I want to say having sex, but more like destroying Max".
"Will you shut the fuck up!" Max said going red and trying not to smile, "This is my brother!".
"That is disgusting!" Sam replied looking shocked, "Well did he? Destroy you?" he asked.
Max turned to leave "I am not having this conversation with you Sam!" he said trying to be aloof.
"Definitely walking funny this morning" Franco added with his arm around Sam's shoulder.
"Yeah!" Sam agreed, "Not mincing this morning, more like beef chunks" he said laughing.
Franco handed the coffee to Sam who took another gulp "Steaks more like" he said.
Max turned opened mouth "You can shut up as well!" he said to Franco, "Alex protect me!" he pleaded.
Alex walked over to Sam and kissed him on the cheek "God I love you Sam" he said.

Max pretended to storm off but they could hear him laughing down the landing then the words 'Dam I am going to piss myself' before the bathroom door closed. Alex was leaning against the wall trying to calm down.

"I knew it was a mistake having you all stay here" Stephanie called out walking down the stairs.
Alex poked his head round the door "I am so sorry we didn't mean to wake you so early" he apologised.
"Sam behave" she immediately said and looking in on them, "Did you two sleep on the bags?".
"Err... Kind of" Sam replied, "Franco got me gaming until late" he said blaming Franco.
"That is not true!" Franco said taking the mug from Sam, "He got me gaming!".
Stephanie shook her head "Sam you need to remember who Alex is" she said seriously.
"Please treat me normally" Alex almost pleaded, "It is the only time I get to be me".
Stephanie looked at Alex "Well in that case you can come down help with breakfast".
Max reappeared "Morning mum" he said looking cheerful, "Liam and Nick are just getting up".
Sam was about to open his mouth but Franco stopped him "Here drink this and keep quiet".
Alex chuckled leaving with Stephanie then turned to Franco "Neatly done Franco" he said.

The kitchen and breakfast table was incredibly noisy with them all talking over each other, after Max and Nick had left to go sightseeing the rest helped to clean up, Franco and Sam slipped out and went back to finishing off their game allowing for some much needed quietness to resume. It allowed Alex some time to get to know Max's parents whilst Liam kept the coffee coming and joining in, it was also important for them to know Liam and Franco who had reappeared whilst Sam was sorting out something to wear for the evening. By midday they got a text from Max with a picture of Nick and him at Buckingham Palace and the comment 'The irony of it!'. The lunchtime edition of the Evening Standard was just hitting the newsstands in London as Max and Nick walked past one the street sellers where the poster on the side read 'Royal Prince arrives in London for New Year and dines at Claridges with mystery man!'.

"Do you reckon that is us?" Max asked looking at Nick.
"Go over and buy one" Nick suggested but Max looked a little cautious.
"Nah I can't, you do it" Max said pushing Nick forward who walked over and purchased a copy.
They continued walking whilst Nick read the front page and looked at Max "Is it?" Max asked.

He stopped and read allowed to Max "Prince Alexander of Monrovia was spotted last night at Claridges having a romantic private dinner with as yet the unknown man in the picture. Was this the young man previously photographed with the Queen of Monrovia visiting a fashion store in the Monrovian capital just after Christmas? One person commented that they clearly looked in love when they took the picture of them leaving Claridges late last evening. The palace has refused to comment on any speculation at this time" Nick looked at Max who was looking at the photo over his shoulder.

"Well you can't tell it is me so I guess that is fortunate" Max replied feeling relieved.
Nick nodded "It won't take long for them to find out who you are" he added.
"Well they don't know who I am yet" Max said grinning.
Nick chuckled "I expect the queen knows already and will be texting Alex" he replied.
"Will we get in trouble?" Max asked looking concerned.
Nick laughed "Don't be silly. She will probably want to make sure you are okay Max".
"Romantic private dinner" Max scoffed, "Just goes to show how much they really know!".
"Exactly Max" Nick replied, "That's why you should never trust anything you read".
Max yawned "I am knackered, can we get a coffee?" he suggested as they passed a coffee shop.
"Of course" Nick replied opening the door for Max.

They ordered coffees in the packed coffee shop and Nick told Max to grab the table that had just become free. Max walked over and sat down putting the paper on the table face down and noticing quite a few people reading it, what he didn't know what was on page two was the blown up photo of him with Queen Helena on his outing with her. Max sat there watching Nick but also aware of a woman sat on the table looking at him then her paper then at him again. Max picked up the paper pretending to read it and opening it to find himself clear as day on page two with the queen. He stared completely stunned, his hands nervously shook and his mouth going dry. Nick picked the two coffees up and turned and could see the paper tremble slightly in Max's hands as he moved quickly over to him placing them down on the table.

"What's wrong Max" Nick asked quietly.
Max showed Nick the picture keeping the paper raised "It's okay Max I am here" he said assuring him.
Max looked nervously at him "People are recognising me Nick" he said sounding scared.
Nick smiled "They will Max, don't worry you have the best protection officer by you".
Max finally smiled a little "Thank you Nick" he said looking at him, "Quite full of yourself" he cheekily remarked.
Nick chuckled "You didn't complain last night when you was full of me" he replied quickly.
"Very funny!" Max said looking around the coffee shop, "What do we do now?" he asked.
Nick put the paper down "Act normally Max and drink your coffee" he insisted.

It was easy for Nick to say that and Max sat there feeling a little awkward knowing that his every move was being watched by at least two people in the coffee shop. Nick moved around the table partly shielding Max and making him feel a little better as they drunk their coffees until one woman walked towards their table.

"Excuse me, but is this you?" she asked pointing to the picture looking excited.
Max feigned a chuckle "I wish I socialised in those circles" he replied in a non committed tone.
The woman laughed and walked off "How do they cope with this?" Max asked in a hushed voice.
Nick looked at him "They just do Max, some from birth and others marry in to it".
"I... I feel silly being looked at. It is going to ruin our day" Max said taking a sip of coffee.
"Don't worry Max I have dealt with this before, I know what to do" Nick replied smiling.
Max nodded "Still have to go by the gallery on the way back" he reminded Nick.

Nick waited for Max to finish his coffee and keeping alert watching the people around them, he  walked behind Max as they exited sticking close to him, a few heads turned and watched as they left the coffee shop. It was clear to those on lookers that the muscular built guy was protecting the other one, opening doors and glancing all around continuously. Max had never felt so self conscious and kept his head down to avoid anyone else recognising him until Nick dragged him in to a souvenir shop where he brought a baseball cap and sunglasses, he complained that he would look even more silly as the sun was not shining. They both had a laugh as Max donned the disguise and realised how effective it actually was since even he didn't know it was him at first glance. Nick's plan had worked and they managed to get a few more sights crossed off Nick's list before jumping on a bus to Chelsea.

Franco returned with Sam after going out for a walk around the neighbourhood after lunch and joined the others in the family room where Alex was helping Stephanie clean up the lunch things whilst Liam sat there chatting away with Lawrence about football.

"What do you know about football?" Alex asked Liam cheekily.
Lawrence laughed "More than you!" Liam replied as his phone started ringing, "The queen" he said.
Alex huffed "She rings him more than me and I am her son!" he remarked waiting as Liam answered it.

Liam walked outside standing on the patio talking to the queen and nodding several times as he listened. They watched as his expression changed a little and looked towards Alex nodding again and ending the call. It seemed to take forever for Liam to walk back inside as they watched and waited for him.

"What has happened?" Alex asked immediately as Liam closed the door.
"I need to call Nick, apparently a photo was taken last night and is in the papers" Liam advised.
"Is that bad?" Stephanie asked looking confused and concerned at the same time.
Liam dialled Nick's number "Depends how you look on it" Alex replied watching Liam.
"Nick!" Liam said then waiting, "Right you have seen it then?" he was asking.
"How are things?" Liam said speaking down the phone, "Okay and does Max know?".
There was a long paused before he spoke again "Do you need us?" Liam now asked.
Alex looked at Max's parents "Sounds like they know about Max and I" he suspected.
"Okay, but you call if you need us, the embassy has a car on standby" Liam now said to Nick.
Liam hung up "Well?" Alex asked looking anxious.
"It's fine Alex, they have seen the photo and he was asked if it was him with the queen" Liam said.
Lawrence looked at his tablet "Page 2 of the Evening Standard" he said showing them.
"But that's when the queen took him to Josh's boutique a few days ago" Alex said.
"The front page has a picture of you and Max last night" Lawrence said showing them.
"You can hardly recognise Max fortunately" Liam added.
Stephanie looked at her husband then Alex and Liam "So is it public knowledge now?" she asked.
"Not yet, the palace want a call with Alex and Max this afternoon" Liam advised.
Alex shuffled on his feet "It is too early" he replied.
"The queen has left the decision to you both" Liam said, "But...".
"I know, with photos out there already..." Alex replied sitting down looking worried.
"It might mean you will get some attention here" Liam said to Max's parents.
Lawrence nodded "We figured this would be the case" he replied, "But Max is not named yet".
"Trust me they will be on the case" Alex said looking over at them, "I need to call Max".
Liam looked at Max's parents "The prince's private life has become big news since coming out as gay".

Alex made a brief call to Max making sure he was okay and laughing when he found out Nick had brought him a disguise and they were walking around Knightsbridge on their way to the gallery where Max had to quit his job in person, it was the least he could do having owed so much to David the gallery owner. Alex laughed again down the phone checking one last time that Max was okay before hanging up.

"They are heading to the gallery but Nick has spotted Harrods and wants to look in there" Alex said.
Liam looked at Alex "Do we move to the embassy?" he asked and Alex shrugged looking at Max's parents.
"You may as well stay here, we are going to have to get use to it!" Lawrence said.
"Yes stay" Stephanie said agreeing, "The house is secure enough and here is not overlooked".

With Alex and Liam in agreement they put on some coats and went for a short walk to one of the community gardens and to show them around the area. Max looked up at the familiar modern sleek design of the Whiteguards gallery sign. Through the window Max could see the brown wavy partly curly hair and stupid dungarees covered in paint splats that Asa wore, just the way he looked with one strap of the dungaree hanging down. As usual he had nothing on underneath exposing his body and nipple which David sometimes found uncomfortable at Asa's laid back attitude. Max's body warmed through at the sight of Asa, his fond love for the artist was as strong as ever, but his love of their friendship was more important than entertaining sex with him. The one thing he learnt from Gareth after he bedded Asa was that you didn't take the artist to bed for a bit of romantic passion, even for Gareth he couldn't keep up with Asa's love of rough sex. His skinny build had fooled Gareth in to finding out that Asa was pretty strong and aggressive and like to get his way in bed, it was far from any nasty aggression, it was how Asa felt when he was aroused. 

The handsome artist with his stubbly attempt at facial hair made him ever so more attractive. That and the brightest sparkle of blue eyes made Asa so unique in many ways. As an artist he was incredibly bright and stood five feet ten inches tall, despite the slim build he had very tight beautiful muscles in his arms, they were far from big muscles but held a lot of strength. He was Asa the artist who was about to get a big wake up call in life.

Hot, different, romantic, has it all 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨💞

Wouldn’t it be something if Liam ended up with Nick

[daddybear54]

Sounds suspiciously like something is about to happen involving Asa -- maybe with Nick, who's also big time into rough sex, and  especially with Asa coming to Monrovia in just a few more days. It was really neat to see Nick calming Max down and then disguising him when the photos hit the paper -- after reaming him out the night before!

[billy88666]

Is Nick about to find his Mr Right with Asa? Can't wait to find out.  I guess Tom was too young to be a match,, but there's alway Franco 😉

[laguyinhou]

Can't wait for the next chapter! 

[seattlebbbtm]

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! 

[Skanman]

I love this story.  
Can’t wait for the next chapter.

I’m sure Alex’s and Max’s relationship is about to become big news and then the protection team will have their hands full. 

[jeff238]

The arrival of the latest chapter always makes my week! Thanks @losolent for all your awsome work.

[Assmunch]

I love all your little twists and unexpected situations.  Not only does it keep the characters scrambling and moving, but it keeps me on edge and wondering how things will work out.  I find that from chapter to chapter I gravitate toward different characters.  I’ve always loved Alex, but had a brief fling with Tom, who I think is just perfect, and of course Liam who is that forbidden fruit, and Marty really made me cheer him on with his impertinence and supreme confidence.  Keep it up!

Part 41 - The New Year

 

He was the last person Asa expected to see entering the gallery, it took a moment for him to realise that under the baseball cap and glasses was Max. Asa stood there with his hands on his hips showing half his body off and laughing at his disguise unsure what to make of what Max had become. Next to him stood a man oozing masculinity and sex appeal that had Asa all flustered until he focused back to Max. It didn't go unnoticed by Nick who now found himself floating off in some trance staring at the attractive, rough and flirty looking guy. David had gone over already to say hello to Max and met Nick, who was paying less interest in them and instead focusing on the artist unable to take his eyes off the guy.

"Hello Asa!" Max said standing there smiling at him.
"Hello?" Asa exclaimed folding his arms, "Is that all you have to say?" he asked.
Max shrugged "What do you want me to say?" he asked as David went over to a customer.
"Like... Sorry Asa, sorry for jacking my job in and leaving you in the lurch" Asa suggested.
Max felt ashamed "David can finish organising your viewing. And you pestered me to go get him!" he said.
Nick stood there listening intently "Asa this is Nick, crown protection officer" Max added.
Asa now standing close noticed the muscular build and smirked "Where is the cute one that came last time?" he asked.
"That is Prince Alexander's protection officer" Max said as they shook hands.
"You fancy me Nick?" Asa asked brazenly seeing Nick was a little tongue tied staring at him.
"Asa!" Max exclaimed, "I hope you will tidy yourself up when you paint the prince" he said changing the subject.
Asa shrugged "Yeah suppose I will have to put proper clothes on" he replied as David returned.
Nick wandered off looking at some paintings "Yeah he proper fancies me!" Asa said smirking.
Max shook his head smiling "Trust me that guy could snap you like a twig, I know!" he said trailing off.
Asa leaned in "You dirty little fucker, screwing the help" he said grabbing Max's arse and pinching it hard.
Max slapped his hand away "When you two have finished!" David said happy to see Max.
Asa picked up satchel "I have to go, home with parents for new year" he said, "See you in Monrovia I guess?".
Max nodded "You will stay in touch Asa?" he asked and Asa nodded kissing him on the cheek.

Nick felt like the air had been sucked out of his body as he looked at the paintings coming across a few that Asa had painted. The brashness of the way he talked to him had knocked Nick for six, it wasn't that though, it was those fucking eyes that looked like they were sexing Nick before they were even introduced. Asa walked out of the gallery and turned to have a sneaky peek at Nick again. It was short and bittersweet for them both, Max loved working for David and the gallery and David had grown to rely on Max a lot. He was happy for him and knew instantly when Max and the prince had their little altercation that night they were going to be together. So it came as no surprise for David when Max resigned his position and David told him he was always welcome to come back if he ever wanted a job and not to cut David out completely. He was to keep in touch and if he found himself working in the art world David wanted to collaborate with him. Max shook hands with David and called Nick over, putting on the baseball cap and glasses David laughed as they walked out on the the street heading towards Harrods.

"You were quiet in there" Max remarked as they walked along the pavement, "Did Asa stump you?".
"No!" Nick replied rather too quickly raising suspicion with Max, "Don't know who he is" he added.
Max smiled looking ahead "I know Asa and he was floored by you" he said.
"Whatever!" Nick said stopping himself from grinning, "You think you know it all!" he remarked.

All round the store Max kept making references to Asa and Nick was pretending to ignore him. Then walking back to Sloane Square they walked down Fitzroy road that seemed pretty normal and quiet and Max was glad to take the baseball cap and sunglasses off as they neared home.

Max and Nick walked in the kitchen "Thank god you are back!" Alex said rushing over, "Are you alright?".
"Yes" Max replied, "Made me a little unnerved, felt really weird, but I lied" he said laughing.
Alex laughed "It is not lying, it is deflecting" he replied.
Max cocked his head to one side staring at Alex "I seem to remember you were very good at that in Mauritius".
"You are learning!" Alex replied grinning away happily.

Alex and Max went upstairs and had a video call with the king, queen and the head of palace communications where it was agreed that no formal announcement was to be made just yet. Instead a brief press release was issued reminding them that the prince guarded his private life and should there be any significant changes this would be communicated officially by the palace when the time is right. They both hoped it was enough to starve off the interest in them. By the time the evening edition of the paper hit the newsstands a photo of Prince Alexander and Josh at the Christmas Ball was on page two 'Has the Prince found his beau after all in fashion designer Joshua Franks? The prince was pictured arriving at Heathrow yesterday flanked by protection officers and one other person. All focus is now on the Monrovian embassy in Mayfair as it is expected the prince will be attending the ambassadors new year's eve party'.

"Well it is not going to be such a walk in the park tonight" Alex said looking at them all.
Lawrence nodded "They will be at the gates of the embassy for sure" he said knowing what this meant.
"Embassy is secure and has screens in place. The cars will be here at 6.30pm" Liam informed them.
Alex looked at his phone "We should go and get ready" he said standing up.

Everyone dispersed to their rooms to shower and change in to formal wear for the party. Max and Alex helped each other with their bow ties and dinner jackets. Sam poked his head in asking for help and they got him suitably dressed, there was a knock at the door and Liam came in carrying a medium size locked box. He took a key out an unlocked it, inside Max saw three medal looking things but the ribbon was thicker and purple in colour with the an elaborate gold royal crest attached to one, a brooch of king and queen on their coronation and another one he didn't know.

"What is that one, it has a different coat of arms?" Max asked.
Liam picked up the royal crest medal "Dukedom of Montcalm" he replied and Max nodded his head.
Alex walked over and stood still "Don't get use to me dressing you!" Liam remarked smiling.
"Very funny" Alex said as Liam attached each one carefully across his breast pocket.

Max noticed that Liam also had the same but in silver on a gold ribbon, the purple and gold colours seemed to match the sash that Alex and Liam wore at the royal ball in formal dress. The ribbons certainly gave his boyfriend the prominence befitting his royal status.

Alex chuckled watching Max "Your turn will come" he said walking over to him.
"For what?" Max asked kissing him.
"Being honoured to wear these as well" Alex said nodding down to the ribbons.
Max laughed albeit nervously "Is that so!" he replied kissing him again and this time lingering in to a long kiss.

Liam came in tapping his watch to signal it was time to leave. The ambassador's secretary had finished briefing all the guests and staff of the protocols and absolute discretion for the evening, the small new year celebration of thirty guests mostly made up of Monrovian citizens and a member of the British Foreign Office were all ready in the reception room. The ambassador went to the front doors of the embassy and looked across the courtyard to the gates and six photographers standing waiting, as the minutes went by another one would appear then a TV crew set up waiting. The embassy staff erected more screens to shield the cars from the gates allowing privacy to be maintained. Liam was keeping an eye on updates from the embassy warning Nick in the car behind of what was to come. 

Max kept looking nervously out of the window "Breathe Max" Liam said, "The can't see inside".
Max looked at Liam "Well it was only a matter of time" he replied holding Alex's hand.
"Franco will get out first then me, Alex and finally yourself" Liam said reminding Max who nodded.
"Do I hold Alex's hand?" Max asked looking at them both.
Alex chuckled "If you do and we are seen it will be game over and the world will know" he replied.

Max was in no doubt one way or another, it was either pretend like it was nothing or do the what he wanted to do most and show Alex he was here for him. The car turned on to the street and already the camera flashes were going off as they approached the embassy gates that swung open and the security team flanked either side to stop the press getting near the cars. The blinding flashes and voices shouting and asking if the prince was in a relationship was sensory overload for Max and he even saw Alex looking a little worried by the manic attention. The cars slipped behind the screens hidden from view and Franco jumped out whilst everyone else stayed in the cars until the gates were secured and the front door to the embassy opened with the ambassador and his wife coming out and standing on the porch waiting. Franco knocked on the window indicating it was secure, even he was astounded by the media attention going on at the gates, it looked like about twenty people now waiting to start snapping away again but they could see nothing. Liam stepped out and looked around then stood by the passenger door as Alex leaned over and kissed Max 'I love you Max' he said stepping out and waiting for Max who looked out and smiled at Alex as he exited the car. Max stood by the door straightening his jacket and walking over to Alex holding his hand out. Alex looked a little shocked at first before then like he was about to cry as he confidently took Max's hand and they walked towards the front doors hand in hand.

"You feel as nervous as me" Max tried to joke looking at Alex.
Alex glanced at him and smiled "I am!" he replied as Max smiled back at him.
"Your royal highness" the ambassador said bowing and shaking Alex's hand.
"Sir" the ambassador said to Max bowing his head then introducing his wife.
"Bit of a show tonight" the ambassador said, "You certainly are getting attention your highness".

No matter how confident Max tried to feel the constant bowing and addressing him like he was special still made him feel awkward. Max's family were getting out of the car now the formal welcome was complete and came over meeting the ambassador and his wife whilst Alex and Max were ushered inside to meet the rest of the guests. Hidden inside the embassy allowed them to have a night of celebration to see the new year in it was a world away from the frenzy going on in the media, the palace was being bombarded all night with interview requests and statements that were being stacked in a pile. An official statement release issued was brief and simple 'Their Majesties The King and Queen of Monrovia would like to inform you that their son His Royal Highness Prince Alexander is not in a relationship with Joshua Franks, however they are and remain close friends. Please respect their privacy'. Liam showed the release to Alex and Max along with Max's family, the ambassador officially knew and already made provision for two security guards to accompany them back and stand on duty outside Max's family home when they returned. For now they both enjoyed seeing the new year in, Sam never the person to make friends easily spent the whole evening with Franco chatting and meeting the various guests. Like his brother, Sam was very easy going when you got to know him and had a certain sparkle in his character that endeared him to the guests he spoke with. After the new year was seen in the party started to slowly dwindle in guest numbers, the band was playing a soft slow dance and Alex had his head resting on Max's shoulder as they slowly moved around the edge of the dance floor holding each other.

Alex raised his head "Do you have any new year resolutions?" he asked.
Max nodded "To marry my prince" he said softly but audible enough for Alex.
"Is that so?" Alex asked smiling and continuing to dance holding Max tighter.
"Out of the way!" Liam said laughing and dancing past with Max's mother making them laugh.
"Sam is out of it" Alex said nodding over to where he was sat down almost asleep against Franco.
Max chuckled "Yeah, two late nights in a row has done him in" he said, "He gets on well with Franco".
"I know. You have a lovely brother and I know my father will like him" Alex said watching Nick walk towards them.
"You lovebirds done?" Nick asked, "We need to get you both back to the house" he said.

They nodded and Alex walked Max over to the ambassador and his wife to say good bye. Outside the gates a handful of photographers had stayed all night waiting and hoping to get a glimpse of the prince. The flashes filling the night air as the cars came from behind the screens and out of the gates, along the still busy streets with revellers celebrating the new year, then around Sloane Square and along Fitzroy road. The road looked normal enough and pretty quiet. 

Max sat on the bed half dressed after Liam had collected their royal brooches and safely put them away. Alex returned from the bathroom across the hall closing the bedroom door then stripping off and yawning at the same time. 

"What's the matter?" Alex asked kneeling in front of him seeing he was distracted.
Max ran his fingers down Alex's cheek "Sorry it has been so weird this evening" he replied.
"The interest might gain momentum when they know" Alex said trying to remain realistic.
Max looked at him "Can we sort of hide for a few days when we return to Monrovia?" he asked.
Alex nodded and kissed him "Just you and me, no one else. I want some time alone with you" Max said.
"I would love that Max" Alex replied slipping Max's underwear off, "You and me" he said kissing his leg.

Slowly Alex kissed Max across his abdomen and up his chest, neck and finally his mouth. His kissing pushed Max on to his back moaning softly as Alex began working his way back down. His tongue flickering over each nipple causing Max to gasp in pleasure, his body wriggled the lower Alex moved down until he felt the warmth of his tongue slowly tracing along the shaft of his cock. His hand moved down cupping Max's balls, his mouth moved delicately over the head and worked slowly up and down the shaft several time as Max moaned louder. Alex kissed back upwards raising his body again and using his legs to push Max's legs up, he looked down at the familiar tattoos that he so adored on him. Max gasped and giggled feeling Alex's cock hitting his hole, his giggle stifled by Alex kissing him again more intensely and nudging his cock inside. Max raised his hands and ran his fingers down Alex's back until he found the suppleness of his arse, his hands held on to the cheeks feeling the small movement of the muscles as Alex moved his cock in little by little. He was working it so slowly and delicately that is almost brokered on teasing and had Max pulling his arse closer, Alex countered and pushed back out then stared down at Max smiling, the energy between them was unfathomable. Max moaned rolling his head back as Alex pushed in then out 'Tell me what you want?' Alex asked kissing him lightly all over his chin and neck between giggles. Max grabbed Alex's face in his hand and looked up at him 'Make love to me' he whispered as they rubbed their lips together seeing who could hold off the longest before the need to kiss took over. It was Max who broke first hungrily pulling Alex down. Shuffling around on the bed giggling until they finally got up to the top where Max laid his head on the pillow, seamlessly their mouths met and Alex moved his hips back and forth using his cock to caress inside his lover. Fingers touching every part of Alex's body that Max could get to. Nothing mattered right now as they slowed the pace down and made love finding a new level of sensuality between as the minutes ticked by. Just holding Max in his arms as he made love to him meant everything to Alex, it was what he desired in the world. Their bodies moist and glistening through the passing hours. After Alex had reached orgasm Max took over and so the cycle went on several times before they collapsed in a heap on the bed with their limbs tangled up in each other. The heat from their bodies radiated in to each other as they laid side by side holding hands staring up at the ceiling with their heads touching, content and happy being together they drifted off in to a sexually pleasured sleep.

Liam checked in on them but left them sleeping until they surfaced at midday by Max's message alert going off on his phone. He leaned over kissing Alex then picked it up and read the message from Gareth to meet at the local wine bar at 7pm, without even thinking he accepted telling him he was looking forward to catching up.

Alex laid there laughing "What?" Max asked rubbing his nose against Alex's.
"We will have to take protection officers with us" Alex reminded.
Max sighed "God yeah, should be okay though it is a classy joint" he said kissing Alex.

Outside in a car across from the house sat two embassy security guards keeping careful watch over the house. It was nice to have a lazy day in the house where Alex was helping Max pack his last few belongings that he wanted to take. It was only a fifteen minute walk to the Dirty Duck wine bar but Nick and Liam would not hear of it insisting the drove.

Gareth sat there with one eye on the window checking for Max, he was still unsure if Alex would be coming with him.  He had spoken to Fred the bar manager just in case who in turn spoke with Neil who was on door duty. They sat in the car whilst Nick got out and took a quick look around then everyone exited and crossed the road. Neil recognised Max and poked his head inside and nodded to Fred. The bar wasn't too busy as most people were nursing hangovers from the celebrations. A few gay couples and several groups of single men enjoying a quiet night out were sitting at the bar and tables dotted around. 

Neil smiled as Max approached "Great to see you Max!" he exclaimed warmly.
"Hi Neil" Max replied coming to a stop, "Is it quiet inside?" he asked peering around.
"It is. Who do we have here?" Neil asked looking at the protection officers with more interest.
Max chuckled "Still the same I see" he replied, "This is Alex" he said.
Neil nodded knowing full well who he was "Nick, Liam and Franco they look after Alex" Max added.
Neil acknowledged them all "Certainly got yourself a Prince Charming" he said looking at Alex.
Max laughed "I am not sure what you mean" he said looking amused at Neil who nodded and chuckled.
"Gareth is inside at the far corner" Neil said pointing inside and letting them past.

Max knew this was a gamble and blow their relationship wide open, he was never one for making an entrance always feeling a little self conscious and this evening was no different hearing the audible gasps from several people as he realised that Alex had been recognised leading him across the bar were Gareth sat smiling and putting his phone down. The one thing Max had forgot about was that Alex being gay was big news in the gay communities, he was a celebrity in his own right now. A couple of people actually stood as they saw the strange group of guys. Gareth stood and Max went over and hugged him exchanging words on how much he had missed Max being around over Christmas.

Alex came forward and Gareth smiled holding out his hand "Alex we meet again!" he laughed.
"Properly this time, and no I will not sleep with you!" Alex replied grinning with Gareth hugging him and laughing.
Nick quickly moved forward and Liam held him back "It's okay" he confirmed to Nick.
"Gareth" Liam said shaking hands, "This is Nick and Franco, protection officers".

They sat down with the 3 protection officers forming a kind of barrier, Alex happy to sit there and and chat to Liam for a bit whilst Max got Gareth up to speed on everything. The subject soon got around to Gareth coming out for Alex's birthday celebration on the 10th where Max told him his family were coming over for 3 days.

Gareth nodded "Yes your father told me so I have booked the same flights" he told Max.
"There is a state banquet on the 9th which you are also expected to attend" Alex now advised him.
"Oh!" Gareth replied sounding shocked, "Really you want me at a formal do?" he asked.
Alex nodded "Yes, it is a black tie event and the party on the 10th is black trousers and black shirt".
"And the mask" Gareth added laughing, "I need to book the hotel on the plaza" he said partly reminding himself.
"Ah! My parents have extended an invitation for you to stay in the palace" Alex said to a very surprised Gareth.

It turned out to be a chilled relaxing evening for them all, Nick whose eyes were were on stalks was looking around at the guys coming and going, not purely for work but his own satisfaction admiring the views. He had a fondness for British guys and fucking Max was no exception and highlight of his first trip to London. 

The following day saw them all set to leave, Max's things had been packed and already sent ahead to the airport. Max was saying good bye when he suddenly looked at Alex running up the stairs to his bedroom carefully taking the Silverlake painting off the wall. His first ever gift from Alex, he couldn't believe he nearly forgot about it. Alex smiled seeing him walk in carrying the painting that his mother now packed carefully. After a careful check of the street Alex exited the house and got in the car first and Max turned looking up at his family home with a tinge of sadness, all his belongings packed and on the way to the palace. Sam walked over and hugged his brother hard for several moments. Franco closed the car boot door having secured the painting in there and walked around saying goodbye to Max's parents. Max let go of Sam and stepped in to the car, Franco put his hand on Sam's shoulder 'See you a few days for a rematch' he said, Sam smiled and hugged Franco warning him to get some practice in.

The car slowly pulled away from the house, Alex grabbed hold of Max's hand noticing the strange way he was looking over his shoulder as the house disappeared from view. He was sad remembering the years growing up in the house as they car drove around Sloane Square heading west towards Heathrow. It was symbolic the way the car adorned with the royal flags on the front slowly moved through the traffic. The sinking feeling in his stomach brought a wave of nausea as he seemed to be leaving what was left of his old life behind him, he knew in his head that January was going to be the month when he would be thrusted in to the spotlight.
