A victorious smile lit up the Xantarian's face, and he immediately grabbed the dumbfounded prince into a tight embrace, hastily exposing his body and covering him with hot kisses.
Gedeon became even more embarrassed when the languid sighs of his admirer were heard, who suddenly took off his clothes. The musician's hands frantically slid over his reliefs, but young man stared at his admirer in confusion and seemed to be paralyzed under the pressure of sudden hot caresses, sadly aware of what he would have to do to solve the mystery about forgotten girl.
"Don't stand like a statue," Irinel whispered, burning with passion.
"Reciprocate my feelings, kiss me!"
He grabbed Gedeon's lips and the victim of fiery love had to feign pleasure from the caresses, playing along with the incensed Xantarian, who tormented him for a long time, dragging him into bed. Opposite feelings tore the prince's soul: it was both pleasant and disgusting at the same time. The thought that instead of a girl, a guy was squirming in his arms did not allow him to relax. He tried to imagine that some very active fangirl was dominating him, but it didn't give him much pleasure and didn't excite him at all. Such an experience seemed too extreme for a young man rejected in same-sex relationships before.
Irinel rubbed against him frantically and tirelessly for a long time, as if he could not enjoy it, and the imposed intimacy turned into endless torture.
Having achieved ecstasy, Irinel did not let go of him and continued to cling to him, falling into a doze.
"You don't understand how delightful you are, my beloved," he whispered, "I'm sorry that I don't evoke the same feelings in you, you didn't get the same pleasure."
"Name her please!"- Gedeon demanded irritably.
"Luanlia..." came the voice of the musician, drowning in his sleep. - "She loved you, but her husband, Lord Adivaris, was against it..."
Gedeon endlessly repeated her name in his mind, closing his eyelids, and finally, a distinct female image appeared to him, sharply hitting his eyes with an invisible wave. Her gentle voice suddenly rang out in his head:
"Deo! I haven't forgotten about you, but we are not allowed to see each other in reality. Now you are a telepath and no one will forbid us to talk."
Gedeon felt himself floating in a dark space, illuminated only by the shining bright appearance of the beauty.
"Luanlia! I was deprived of my memory and I don't remember what happened between us, but I feel a strong attraction to you."
"I still love you, Deo, ever since we met and you confessed your feelings. It's not easy for me right now. I'm being forced to move to Xantari to meet the vamps or find a second husband to stay here."
"So take me as your husband."
"Adivaris won't allow it, he expects me to choose one of the local vamps. But I will insist on my point."
"Move to Xantari, they send me there to entertain the princesses, it's easier to meet there. I will give my voluntary consent..."
They communicated until his strength was exhausted and his consciousness turned off: telepathy takes a lot of energy.
In the morning, Avilena woke him up, looking puzzled at the couple sleeping in an embrace.
"Well, Gedeon, I didn't expect it! It throws you into extremes, then you don't want anyone, then you sleep with a guy. What's happening?"
"I don't have any idea what's going on. You see, I can't even get out of his arms," - poor fellow justified himself. - "That guy completely exhausted me."
Avilena started to push Irinel away, slapping his cheeks. He squinted, looked at her displeasedly and reluctantly unclasped his hands. Gedeon jumped up and went for a walk.
"Why did you touch Deo? Who gave you permission? He is only meant for princesses," - Avilena attacked him.
Irinel blinked his eyes in confusion, rubbing them.
"Why can't he do this with men? I am the Queen's son and have the right to desire any Prince, like all my sisters. I love him."
"Such a prankster! Completely exhausted the boy. Aren't you ashamed? Did you rape him?"
Irinel shook his head furiously, pulling on his tunic thrown on the floor.
"Then I don't understand how you got this touchy one into bed? Do you know that I am his mentor and am responsible for him? If you don't have enough lovers, go look among the locals, there are plenty of them here. You've gone completely crazy with your passion lately. I hope you didn't say anything about the princess?"
"No!" Irinel blurted out and ran out of the room, realizing what kind of scolding awaited him for revealing the secret.
"What a brat!" - Avilena exclaimed, stamping her foot. - "He said it after all! Traded secrets for intimacy! Well, I'll arrange it for you. Adivaris will be very angry."
