Chapter 34 | The Tale of Two Kingdoms

Entrances and Exits

"Relax, you're tensing up," Issak purred against Temmin's neck.

"It--it's very--I'm not--"

"It's just the tip of one finger. Don't tense, it'll hurt if you keep doing that. There--there, just relax. Push out. That's right, good boy." He pushed the finger in further, pulled out and pushed slowly back in again, and Temmin felt his mind shut down almost completely as an odd, shivering pleasure overtook the initial pain. What a strange sensation, this invading finger, he thought with his little remaining insight--and then Issak hooked his finger and pushed against something round and hard. Stars went off behind Temmin's eyelids and he groaned aloud. Issak chuckled. "There it is," he said. "there's your walnut. You like that, eh?"

"Yes!" Temmin gasped out. He pushed back against the finger and felt it work in deeper, stretching him gently. Issak began to move, in and out, always coming back to brush firmly against that bump just inside him that made him almost lose consciousness. When a second finger joined the first, Temmin was ready for it, wanting it, and he groaned again, deeper and more gutteral than before as Issak massaged him in just that spot. He lost track of time; he had no idea how long they'd been like that, only that he hoped Issak would never stop.

"You're fucking yourself on my fingers, d'you know that?" said Issak in his ear. Temmin opened his mouth, but nothing would come out but harsh breathing. "You're all stretched out for me. D'you know what I'm going to do now? I'm going to fuck you." The fingers withdrew and Temmin whimpered. Issak rolled him onto his back. Temmin looked up at him, so beautiful. The low light danced in his green eyes, and his black hair was loose and wild around his broad shoulders. He was slicking his very hard cock with the slippery liquid, and Temmin looked at it, really looked at it, for the first time. Like the rest of him, it was a little shorter than Temmin's and a lot more solid-looking. "This is for you, it's going right up you, and you're going to take it all. Aren't you?"

"Please," whispered Temmin. He'd never been so aroused in his life, not even here. "Will it hurt?"

"Do you care?" said Issak, putting a pillow under Temmin's bottom and settling himself between his legs.

Temmin paused. "No," he finally said. "I don't."

Issak urged Temmin's legs up as high against his chest as they'd go. "I'll try not to hurt you anyway," he smiled, stroking Temmin's prick. "Hold your legs there." He slipped his fingers back inside Temmin, gently stretching, then removed them and centered himself. Temmin felt the head of Issak's cock push against his ass. "Push out," Issak whispered. "Let me in." Temmin pushed out, and Issak pushed in.

The ring of muscle around his opening stretched and burned at first, but once the head was in the burning lessened until nothing was left but that strange thrill. Issak advanced slowly and gently by tiny degrees until he was entirely inside. He stayed there, unmoving, and Temmin watched his dark-shadowed jaw flex as he worked to keep his control.

And then he began to move.

Issak stroked past that spot again; Temmin's eyes rolled slowly back in his head. He wanted desperately to touch himself, but Issak had him pinned, his legs pressed down toward his shoulders. Over and over Issak's prick slid past...what had he called it? Temmin thought dimly--his walnut? It was perfect, it was better than anything he'd ever felt, it was--

He looked down between them and discovered his erection was gone. "It's normal," soothed Issak. "In time you may learn to stay hard when you're getting fucked, but it's normal not to."

"I couldn't tell, I still feel hard." His breath was ragged and he could barely get the words out. "I think--I think I have to piss!"

"No, you don't, I promise, let the feeling be. Am I hurting you?"

"No!" gasped Temmin. "No! Well--not much. Just--don't stop." Temmin looked up through his lashes; sweat beaded on Issak's forehead, and his white teeth were closed on his bottom lip. He was concentrating hard, green eyes looking straight into Temmin's blue ones, and in that moment, Temmin thought he was even more beautiful than Allis. "Gods, Issak, you're--"

"I can't hold this, you're too--Oh, Nerr--" Issak let out a long growling groan and pushed deep inside. Temmin felt the cock inside him twitch and pulse, and Issak leaned down and kissed him, licking at his lips and moaning in breathy abandon. "I'm pulling out, push out again." Issak slipped from inside and collapsed on the couch next to him. Temmin felt what must have been Issak's cum slowly trickling from his ass--a sore ass, if truth be told, but he didn't care. "You are very, very tight," said Issak dreamily. "I couldn't keep that up for too long, and for your first time I couldn't really ride you hard anyway. But some day..some day..." He gathered Temmin into his arms and held him close against his chest, kissing him languidly and sloppily, tongues entangled. Temmin began to shake a little. " 'S normal," muttered Issak. "Never worry."

Temmin thought of Emmae, shaking in Gill's arms on her wedding night, but this was entirely different. He'd wanted this. He didn't even know he'd wanted it until right before Issak had done it. "Is this what lovers of men do? I'd always wondered how that worked," he said against Issak's chest.

"Sometimes," Issak replied. "Not all the time. It depends on the lovers involved. Sometimes it's hands, sometimes it's mouths--you've had a lover suck you off before."

"A lover? Oh, Alvo," said Temmin, frowning slightly. "I've never really thought of him that way. I s'pose you're right, but I don't love Alvo. I mean, I love him, we grew up together, but I don't love love him. We always fooled around, but I didn't know he felt that way until right before I left."

"But you think about him sometimes."

"Well, yes. Can you blame me? That was amazing, no one's done that before or since." He felt his cock twitch, and before he knew it, he was fully erect again against Issak's thigh.

Issak took him in hand. "I'll give you another time to think about, then, shall I?" He scooted down the couch until his head was between Temmin's legs, reached out his tongue, and licked him in one long, wet, swallop from his balls to his tip. Temmin let out a tiny "ah!" Issak grinned up at him, took the hard cock in one hand, then swept his tongue delicately inside the foreskin, circling the head over and over. He took Temmin in his mouth and slowly worked the skin up over the glans and down, sucking and gently nibbling, until Temmin was groaning and gripping his hair. "Pull my hair and I'll stop, boy," said Issak, staring up at him fiercely.

"Please, don't stop," he said meekly, untangling his fingers from the thick black mane. He propped himself up on his elbows so he could see better. Issak began swallowing him in earnest then, taking his full length until Temmin could barely breathe. His hips moved in counterpoint with Issak's sucking, and Issak put his hands underneath to cup Temmin's ass. Temmin watched his cock disappear and reappear, glistening between Issak's lips, Nerr, what a mouth, and he was fucking that mouth. Suddenly, he felt a finger inside him, pushing on that spot, that spot, oh Gods, it was that spot and Issak's mouth picked up speed and--

The world vanished. He arched up into the hot, wet, sucking that was all that was left of reality, shouting as his seed shot out of him. He twitched in the void, suspended and sparking, until the rest of reality began filling in once again around him. He fell back down onto the couch panting Issak's name. Issak crawled back up his body and kissed him deeply. Something familiar was on Issak's lips, and he realized the taste was his own.

"Can you move yet?" chuckled Issak.

"I don't know if I'll ever walk again," said Temmin with a dopey smile, eyes still closed. "I don't know if I want to walk again."

"I don't want to fall asleep here. Up with you." Issak half-dragged him to his feet. "Come to bed, boneless boy." He led Temmin to an alcove in the wall, where a large, soft bed waited, already made up. Temmin tumbled into it; Issak washed his hands at the sink and then tumbled in after him. They fell asleep in minutes, Temmin's blond head on Issak's chest, his fingers tangled in the black hair.

Temmin was dreaming. He was lying on top of Issak, his back to Issak's chest, impaled again on that fat prick. He felt it luxuriously fucking him while Issak kissed his neck and pinched his nipples; he stroked his own hard shaft. Somehow he must have learned to keep his erection and get fucked at the same time, he thought. "Yes," came a voice, "and I'm so glad of it." Through half-open eyes he saw Allis above him, naked, her luscious breasts just out of mouth's reach. She took his cock in her hand and began to guide it inside her, then reached down and kissed him. "Oh Allis," he moaned, closing his eyes.

He heard her laugh. "Good morning to you, too." Temmin opened his eyes, and he was awake. He was in the alcove bed in the Supplicants Chamber, on his side; Issak was still asleep, nestled cozily behind him with one muscular leg thrown over his. Allis was lying in front of him on top of the coverlet, fully dressed in Temple clothes, her green eyes sparkling with amusement as Temmin pressed his morning erection through the coverlet against her leg. He pulled back sheepishly. "Did you have a good night?" she said.

He clenched his ass experimentally; Issak grumbled and clutched him closer. Still sore, but not horribly so. "Yes," he said, blushing, "we did."

Allis traced a finger down his jawline to his lips, where he kissed it. "So you liked it, eh?"

He blushed further. "Ehm, I s'pose I did."

"Oh, you definitely did," mumbled Issak, rubbing a stubbly chin against his neck. "G'morning, sister. Is there coffee? Please?"

Temmin's stomach grumbled loudly. "And bacon?" he added hopefully. He sniffed at the air. "Oh, hurray, bacon, and coffee!"

In short order they were dressed and sitting once again around the low table, Allis sipping at her coffee, Temmin and Issak seeing who could finish off the toast rack. "Do leave a crumb for me," she said, pouring Temmin a cup.

"We'll just ask for more," said Issak, slathering on the butter. "Have a muffin in the meantime."

Temmin basked in the warmth of their presence and the breakfast. This was like breakfast back at Whithorse in an odd sort of way; he usually ate an early meal in the stables with the grooms before going on his usual ride, after which he'd then go back to the house to clean up and eat a proper meal with his family before going out again. This had that same sort of feel--unwashed, ungroomed, cheerful and a bit sleepy-eyed.

In short order even Temmin was full. He and Issak returned to the baths for a less sybaritic but still thorough shower and shave, and instead of his Temple garments, Temmin found his street clothes sitting out neatly for him in the dressing area. He dressed reluctantly, and Issak walked him to the grand hall, where Allis met them.

"So it's time to go?" Temmin said.

"You'll be back soon," said Allis, stroking his furry jaw. She ran her fingers down to his chin. "You didn't shave your chin!"

"No!" said Temmin, brightening. "I think I may have enough of a beard to grow now, so I'm letting it fill in!"

"And so a fashion comes to its end," said Allis with a smile. She grew serious again. "We will see you again, and soon. In the meantime, you need to understand our rules outside the Temple."

"May I--am I allowed to put into practice...what I've learned?"

"To a degree," said Issak. "We advise you to take it slow. Don't rush into anything. You've learned a great deal in a short time, and you've shown quite a lot of talent--not just in the pleasurable aspects of what we do, but in the spiritual aspects of it. Were you not the Heir, I'd unhesitatingly recommend you for the priesthood."

"That said," continued Allis, "you are not a Lover. You're not even a postulant. Don't try to be one."

"And remember," said Issak, pulling Temmin and his sister close, "you are to save yourself."

"For how long?" asked Temmin, searching their faces with open yearning.

"Not much longer," whispered Allis. "Neya's Day."

"It's only the 29th of Spring's Beginning! That's two weeks!" groaned Temmin. "Wait--I thought Neya's Day was reserved for...for the two of you."

"Not all of it," said Issak, grinning. "Once the Spectacle is over there's a general celebration, you know."

"No, I don't know," said Temmin testily. "I was never allowed to go."

"Not as a virgin, no. But never worry," said Allis, kissing him. "This year and every year thereafter you're allowed. Now, here's your horse. We will contrive to see you before Neya's Day, we promise." She kissed him again, and Issak followed suit, his lips leaving Temmin's reluctantly. The twins watched him down the stairs, onto his horse and off to the Keep, his security detail following at a discreet distance as usual. Both of them were quiet and subdued as they turned back into the Temple.

Allis looked at her twin from the corner of her eye. "I see things, you know. Have a care, brother," said Allis as they entered the grand hall.

"I could say the same, sister," he said, tightening his arm around her waist.

fan of both kingdoms and mu,

fan of both kingdoms and mu, thanks for the update!

MeiLin's picture

Thanks for reading!

I hope you stick around! Smiling

BCT's picture

Oh my.

Ohhh wow. That was.... That was hot.

I'll have more coherent thoughts later. Wow.

EDIT: The sweetest parts are when they're all sitting down to eat, just as Temmin noticed. It's relaxing and cozy, and just.../nice/ to read.

MeiLin's picture

the eating scenes

Thanks for liking them. I wanted to show more of the relationships than just the "good bits," and also to show that Allis and Issak are very much playing parts when they're out in public.

Gudy's picture

It's all in the balance.

The "good bits" are hot, and I'll remain seated for a couple minutes more, if you please.

It's the good bits surrounding the "good bits" which make this story the beautiful creation that it is - the people who are more, so much more, than just what the required sets of genitals are attached to, the places, the little things, like Allis' "It's not a competition, you know", which is my favourite quote so far.

Thank you, MeiLin!

sarianna's picture

Fuzzy feelings all around!

Aww, they're both falling for him and they know it. How sweet! The beginning was incredibly hot (and gives one ideas, perhaps), but the intimacy in the second half is really what melted my heart. Smiling Thanks, dear writer!

MeiLin's picture

thank you

dear reader!

Nicely done. I liked the

Nicely done. I liked the awakening from the dream...

Laura's picture

Is it just me...

Or does anyone else want their own Issak and Allis

BCT's picture

Nope.

Nope, not just you at all. Which is why the disclaimer at the bottom of the Lovers' Temple ad is so disappointing. Sticking out tongue

Something I've been wondering for a long time: Is Issak's name pronounced like Isaac, or "iss-ack"?

MeiLin's picture

as spelled

Namely:

ISS-ak.

Allis is pronounced like "Alice."

theonefayth's picture

Issak and Allis

Issak is enough hot manflesh to make me think about taking up with men again. *fans self* I definitely wouldn't mind owning my own personal Issak and Allis.

Lanir's picture

*blink*

Steamy bits - Wow. It's been awhile since I was bi-curious. Reading that makes me wonder if I just wasn't doing something right. Smiling

Story bits - The fantasy of having someone who probably should be jaded open their eyes and really, really take notice of you in a situation where you're losing some of your innocence is certainly a compelling one. I'm still envious of your ability to tell stories with strong characters and an atmosphere. Actually wait, I'm not. I like to read those so it's better that you have it than me, especially since you write more often. Smiling

MeiLin's picture

sexuality is a continuum

and we constantly move around on it. If you meet the right guy, you'll know.

I still haven't had a chance to read your stuff, but I haven't forgotten you.

TheGrayCrayon's picture

im with you Lanir

That was intense. My head is all going *NUR NUR YOU LIKE GIRLS! LADIES! THE FAIRER SEX! BUT GOD THATS HOT! NUR NUR* I consider your work truely unique in the way it reaches me. Please keep writing this and you know i'll keep reading it with an open heart and an open mind. Smiling

MeiLin's picture

it's always possible

to appreciate something without doing it. Smiling

TheBoy's picture

And...

And who knows what else he might keep open as a result of his readings here...

Eye-wink

MeiLin's picture

tsk

You're a bad TheBoy. Go to my room.

manoki's picture

thank you

for posting this in the afternoon. I got to read it in the evening before bedtime with my sweetie rather than in my office all alone.

So...how did you do the research for this chapter? Are you a voyeur? Or did you just get the scoop from your man?

-Manoki

MeiLin's picture

number of ways

1) I read first-person accounts.

2) I've had anal sex myself.

3) Sir is quite actively bi.

4) Gay porn! It roolz! Twice of everything anyone who likes guys likes!

manoki's picture

I'm still digesting

the idea of being taught lovemaking. As a set of distinct skills, that can be taught in lessons. I remember deflowering a boyfriend and thinking of it somewhat in terms of me as the teacher and him as the student. But I didn't think of it as going much beyond that lesson, and it felt almost more like a gift than a lesson. I wish I had someone who would safely and firmly teach me the physical aspects of sexuality that I don't already know (there are many!!) but I have to wonder how it can be done separately from the emotional aspects or, at least, safely from the upheavals of the emotional aspects. It would be so amazing to have a teacher whom I could trust to know what I should learn, when I was ready to learn each new thing, and who would push me just the right amount out of my comfort zone--without worrying about emotional entanglements. As Temmin and the twins are experiencing, falling in love happens--particularly when you're that age and you're doing that stuff. What will happen when Temmin is competing with other postulants for Issak's and Allis' affections? What if he falls for one more than the other? What if Issak & Allis get jealous of each other or of Temmin? The physical learning is so appealing, in part, because seems so impossible to have that experience safe from the emotional imbalances and hurts that invariably grow in real relationships.

By the way, I don't mean any of this as criticism of MeiLin's story line. It's just my raw thoughts.

-Manoki

Sir's picture

Thats an interesting dilemma, yes.

The best teachers have a unique balance of involvement and detachment. The ability to care, and yet not become involved in the student is a deft skill to possess.

I don't think we have a "class" of professional sexual instructors. The obvious group (prostitutes) are marginalized, and for hundreds of years, looked down upon. I think the closest we could come would be the cadre of professional dominatrixes...at least on the left coast. Most of them have maintained the higher standards of education and sexual skill pertinent to their chosen vocation. Or maybe just those whom I have known.

However rare, the maverick does exist, tho. The born pedagogue, anxious to show the world their arcane skills. Sometimes, when we are lucky, they take us under their wing, and part the clefts Eye-wink

Ironically, it isn't as difficult as it would seem, to teach those less experienced. What matters is that you be patient, careful, concientous, and courteous. Oh, and you have to fuck around a lot to get good at it. Nice bonus, that!

Dan Savage has a rule for those lovers, or YOU, should you designate yourself as a teacher: The Campsite Rule: At the end of the relationship, the elder should leave the younger in better shape than they found them. Although he was specifically talking about age disparity, the same would be true for experience levels. The more experienced should, indeed, MUST leave the less experienced member better off for the experience.

NuanaIvy's picture

Rules

I love the Campsite Rule, and while I've only ever been with one person, I still love the considerate thought of it. I only hope that most sexual teachers are that way. Thank you for mentioning it.

Moo's picture

Funny, you just touched on something

When I met my boyfriend, I knew nothing about sexuality in general, and even less about being pleased, pleasing myself and others, etc. He literally taught me, in a very teacher-pupil manner. I think that the best aspect of that is that when I finally learned enough, we were able to teach each other, like the Lovers and their Supplicants do here. It was no longer my being so ignorant that he had to take time to teach me, and is now more of a mutual exploration. Every day, you learn new things Eye-wink

Sara's picture

Delicious...

You, madam, have an uncanny gift and I fully intend to continue taking advantage of it. This, like all chapters, was fantastic and delicious, as well as quite beautiful, keep up the fabulous work...Sara

MeiLin's picture

thank you!

I hope you keep reading. Smiling

Drew Daniels's picture

Wow...

Just... Wow... Its been a while since I've been with a man, and I must say were it not for my wife and the military... I'd be on the phone right about now. I also have to add that things like these, the possibility of falling for someone that you simply can't, shouldn't or had no intention of... Its how I ended up with a wife truthfully.

Also, the experience that Temmin had reminds me distinctly of my own... *sigh* Good times....

MeiLin's picture

thank you

Not being male, I sometimes wonder why on earth I chose a male protagonist, or why Temmin chose me. I really have very little control over this story, it just sorta flows outta me; my original protagonist was Emmae. I even had a psychic friend tell me a couple days ago she saw it like channeling--this story is in there and it wants out no matter what. (She told me a number of interesting things during that reading. Here's hoping what she told me comes true.)

In any event, that's by way of saying that when guys who've had the actual physical experience tell me stuff like this, it makes me very happy because it means I got it sorta right. Thank you.

J.'s picture

Those who would write stories

Those who would write stories should take care, for as one flows into the story, so the story flows into them...

:wry chuckle:

I've had very similiar experiences; though I've never worked up the courage to actually assemble and put my work up online, I'm well familiar with the phenomenon of the story 'writing itself' and me serving mostly as the medium by which it ends up on paper or text files.

In a similiar vein, most of my better inspired scenarios as a tabletop RPer have done the same thing. Hell, sometimes they just seem to emerge fully or near-fully formed from ... somewhere.

It has been an interesting read (lost track of the story for about six chapters back around C25, but found the site again when it popped up in the megabanner over on Tales.)

And I have to agree with some of the other commentors - it's very nice the way you weave the sexuality and the romance and the daily life parts together; it never (to me) feels forced or jarring, or that one element particularly overrides the others, nor that any one part is there just for hand-waving or window dressing. Kudos indeed.

Daymon's picture

Good chapter

That was a good one, I like how they have a nice breakfast in the morning. That always helps with a new relationship, just to visit and be friends and tease one another.

I agree at this rate the twins might try and keep Temmin after his training is done. That or they will leave with him when the time comes.

Good work MeiLin.

MeiLin's picture

when training is done

There's nothing to keep the twins and Temmin from remaining lovers, at all, as long as the relationship doesn't interfere with duties on either side. The twins can never be exclusive with anyone, and Temmin, of course, must at some point make a diplomatic marriage.

Voyeur's picture

O.O

I wish....I wish I was a man. So I could feel what it's like to kiss and make love to another man.

theonefayth's picture

Amen, Halleluhah.

Hear hear.

Donna's picture

I'm fully of the mind that

I'm fully of the mind that one doesn't choose to become a writer. The writing chooses the person. In that same vein, the story chooses the person as well and the characters spring to mind of their own accord. Temmin is the MC because that's what worked best for the story. You already tried another one and you didn't get the story you have now. It's all a matter of trial and error, false starts and working through it. You just have to keep working with it to get it right and once it is, it'll flow like it should. That's not to say there won't be hurdles, there will, but they'll be easier to get through because you know you're on the right path.

I've had male MC's in my writing, probably because it was their story and they wanted it told. Of the four novels I'm working on/outlining, three are teenage females and one is a teen boy a couple years younger than Temmin. Why the boy? Right now it's what's working the best. You can't force it because it's not what you want for the story. It's what the story wants. It will get very angry with you if you try to force it to do something it doesn't want to do and you'll end up with something you want to chuck across the room. I'm experiencing a transformation in my WIP that I'm writing now, in tone, character ages, personalities and so on and the story is ten times more appealing with those morphs. So right now chapter 1 is vastly different from the end of chapter 5 but I'll worry about it in the edit. I only look back when I finish writing otherwise it'd never get done.

As with sex, I think the only true way to learn is through perception. You can go through the motions of learning processes, if you do this, you'll get that response but at the end of the day everyone is different. Being open not only to yourself but to others is the most valuable tool when it comes to learning about sex and I see that, first and foremost, being taught at the temple. It's experimentation and knowing that not everyone likes the same thing or has the same buttons to push. It's knowing the general area and then shaping the landscaping to suit the person.
