TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL CONTENT
**6 months post coronation**
King Zack was sitting in the King's study in the castle. (AN: Furniture in the study is above)When he heard that special knock. If it was four knocks it meant it was Jack. The only one allowed to interrupt him no matter what.
"Enter." Zack said loudly. It was a big room and it echoed.
Jack opened the door and Zack smiled at him. He loves him more everyday. He swears it.
"Hello handsome." Zack said as Jack approached. Zack noticed Jack carrying a platter of food.
"Hello my love. I brought you food from the kitchen. Rian was on his way to bring it to you, but I may have begged him to let me instead. I have news." Jack said beaming.
Jack set the food down and then he sat himself in a chair next to Zack's chair and desk area.
"No. I order you to Come sit here." Zack said with a smirk, patting his lap. using his royal title to force Jack to sit in his lap.
Jack stood and rolled his eyes. "You are shameless your majesty."
Regardless of his teasing, Jack settled himself into his husband's lap, draping his legs over the arm of the chair. Zack wrapped one arm around Jack's back, and he took the platter Jack brought and put it in Jack's lap.
"Mmmmm. Potatoes and Roasted Duck." Zack said as he took a bite and then fed one to Jack.
They exchanged bites and food in comfortable and peaceful silence. Sharing anecdotes about their days when appropriate. They were Giggling here and there over their shared moments and events of the day.
Jack took a bite but some missed his mouth because Zack pulled the cutlery away too soon.
"Let me get that for you." Zack said flirtatiously.
He leaned forward and licked the bit of potatoes on Jack's face. "I think you missed a spot." Jack whispered.
Zack smirked. "What ever do you mean?"
Jack leaned in and kissed Zack. Ever since they got married, they've been finding it very hard to keep their hands off each other. Especially now that Zack is king, and Jack, being a patriarch of sorts. Serving his duties as king consort. they don't always get a chance to be alone. So when the rare moments they do, they take full advantage of it as best as possible.
Zack puts the tray aside, and he pulls Jack's lips down to his. This is not the easy, passive and affectionate kisses from earlier. These kisses are passionate. To Zack's relief, Jack doesn't question his sudden change in mood.
Jack can feel Zack's hands on his ass and suddenly Zack whispers. "Meet me in our quarters."
Jack stands, pulling Zack up with him. "I am not waiting your highness... you will be coming with me."
Zack smirks. "Well I suppose I must. Who am I to disagree with the king consort?"
Jack pulls him along, weaving them through the hallway of their castle, blissfully leading them to their safe haven, their quarters. Their space and their space alone. Once Jack opens the heavy door, Zack closes it and locks it behind them.
Jack turns in Zack's arms and presses his lips against his husband's. Jack's hands slip under Zack's shirt. Zack tangles his hands tangle in Jack's hair.
Zack turns them, so that Jack is pinned to the door. His back against it. Jack frantically starts to unbutton and derive Zack as best as possible.
Jack is kissing Zack,their tongues intertwined. Zack pulls back, Gasping for air, they separate slightly and Jack presses kisses against Zack's neck. Zack moans as he starts pulling Jack along with him. Zack is walking them towards their bed.
They separate for a moment, until they are both kneeling, facing each other, in the middle of the bed. Jack runs his hands up the entire length of Zack's muscular, knightly arms to wrap around his shoulders.
In turn, Zack's arms wrap tightly around Jack to press the front of his body against the front of his. Jack presses kisses along Zack's jaw line.
"I love you a lot," Zack says with such conviction.
Jack swears it's the most certain he ever hears Zack speak. Is when he is telling those he cares about that he loves them.
"I love you. My sweet husband. I love you."
Jack whispers as he gently pushes Zack down onto his back and he press kisses down his chest and belly before Jack starts working on Zack's pants.
After a few moments, Zack's hands join Jack's and they get them off. Jack then starts to shimmy out of his. And Zack removes Jack's shirt as well.
Jack then lowers himself to kneel between Zack's legs in nothing. Jack does lean forward and lick his tongue up the length of Zack's cock getting it nice and wet.
One of Jack's hands twists up and down while he sucks firmly on the head of Zack's cock. One hand drops down to cup his balls.
The hand on Zack's cock speeds up and pushes more of his length into Jack's eager mouth. He starts to swirl his tongue against him while he sucks. Zack moans below Jack as he continues.
After Jack spends some time sucking on Zack's member.Zack pulls Jack up the bed and pushes him onto his back. "Come here my love."
Zack wets his fingers with some Saliva, and slowly circles Jack's hole. He starts to slowly insert them, opening Jack up.
"You know how much I love when you do this." Jack moaned out, loving the feeling of Zack's fingers inside him.
Zack leans down and kisses Jack, passionately, intensely.
"I'm ready. I want you inside of me," Jack whispers against Zack's lips.
Zack move's on top of Jack, and Jack moves and wraps his legs around Zack's waist. Zack braces himself on his forearms. Leaving their faces inches apart. Jack leans up, kisses Zack deeply as he buns to press inside Jack slowly.
They moan against one another's lips. "Ohhhhh that feels so good. My god I love you." Zack breathes out.
Jack slowly rocks his hips to meet Zack's .
Jack's hands stroke the backs of Zack's arms and sides. Zack's head drops down to Jack's shoulder. Kissing it as he thrusts inside of him.
One of Zack's hands grip Jack's hips tightly. Definitely leaving a bruise. For the next several minutes, there are no words, only moans and gasps as they move together.
Suddenly, Zack captures both of Jack's hands in his, and he drags Jack's hands above his head. Zack intertwines their fingers again, tangling their hands together intimately.
Zack rests his forehead against Jack's. The incredible intimacy of the moment is beautiful. Leaving both of them almost overcome.
Zack whispers "I love you." The words are Charged with emotions
"I love you too," Jack gasps against his husbands lips. Zack continues thrusting into Jack, hitting that sweet spot inside him, and Jack starts to come apart.
Suddenly, Jack's back arches and his body clenches up, and he groans Zack's name loudly when he cums.
As Jack clenches around Zack, Zack thrust roughly against him. Zack buries himself deep inside Jack and then he groans Jack's name loudly before Jack feels him cum inside of him.
Zack drops against Jack. Their hands stay tangled together above their heads. After several minutes, Zack rolls over and pulls Jack against his chest.
"I love being settled in your arms after we are intimate. I know we don't always get quiet moments like this together anymore... but I love that you always try to make sure to come to bed with me at the end of every day. I really missed you on your 5 day trip last week." Jack said softly.
"I missed you too my love. Always do when I go on trips without you." Zack said kissing the top of Jack's head that was on his chiseled chest.
After that, Zack was silent,relishing in the closeness. Enjoying the quiet. Jack never makes Zack talk too much if he doesn't have to. He knows Zack spends all day being told things, or he has to address so many others. So Jack likes being the safe space Zack can have. Jack reached up and lightly stroked their shared mark behind Zack's ear.
"I still get astounded that you are my soulmate . My etheral soulmate nonetheless." Jack said as he leaned up and kissed the spot behind Zack's ear.
Zack shivered at the motion.
Suddenly Jack went wide eyed and sat up next to Zack on the bed. The quickness of it startled the King a bit.
"Talking about soulmates. I almost forgot the whole reason I came to you earlier." Jack said suddenly.
Zack chuckled lightly as he sat up so he was looking at Jack. "Oh yes, you and your royal handsomeness distracted me. You said you had news?"
Jack nodded feverishly. "Yes! I went to see Sir Floyd to inquire further on what he had found, as today as I was reading some lore in the library regarding Ethereal Markings and Soul Bonds. And I saw a passage stating that it is suspected that each bonded mark stays on the skin in each lifetime."
Zack went wide eyed in realization "Meaning there is physical proof of Ethereal Markings and Bonds existing." He said a bit dazed. Stunned.
Jack nodded. "Yes and Sir Floyd stated that he believes he found a pairing in the Kingdom of Galanta."
Zack smiled. "You know, I was supposed to leave for a diplomacy trip to Galanta in 3 days time. The Princess is getting married and asked for the kingdom of Adoranda to attend. I was going to ask you to join me anyway."
Jack smiled. "Oh a romantic trip!"
Zack nodded. "Yes, romantic Carriage ride through the countryside, where we will stay in the kingdom once we arrive.It is 3 days travel by carriage."
Jack giggled. "I would love to attend a wedding with you, dancing through the night, and romantic carriage rides under the stars."
Zack leaned forward and kissed Jack. "And when we arrive we can seek out the pairing Sir Floyd has found."
Jack nodded. "We may finally have so answers."
—————————————————————-
The moon hung low in the night sky, casting a soft glow over the cobblestone streets as Jack and Zack embarked on their journey to the Kingdom of Galanta. They have another day of travel ahead
of them. Their carriage was private, it was only him and Jack. With Rian, and Daniel being the main persons at the reigns.
His sister and his mother followed them, as well as other members of a traveling party, including Knights for protection and diplomats that go with Zack everywhere he goes. The rhythmic clatter of hooves echoed through the medieval town as their horse-drawn carriage rolled along, carrying the pair and their party towards the festivities awaiting them.
Jack, with his rugged charm, couldn't resist striking up a flirtatious conversation with his husband. "So, your royal highness, you travel with a companion often?" he teased with a mischievous glint in his eye.
Zack was sat across from Jack on the plush velvet seats.
Zack chuckled, his eyes meeting Jack's. "I don't. My husband would typically disapprove, but I made an exception for you as you are special."
Jack winked. "Me? Special? I won't tell your husband if you won't."
Zack leaned forward. "I will keep our secret if you kiss me."
Jack giggled as he leaned forward "Small price to pay." He kissed Zack deeply, and Zack pulled Jack into his lap, causing Jack to straddle Zack in his lap.
They continued to kiss passionately as the carriage ambled through the scenic countryside.
As they rode along, they continued to share kisses, stories and laughter, their banter growing more playful with each passing mile. The medieval landscape unfolded before them, with lush forests and rolling hills creating a picture perfect moonlit backdrop for their journey.
Eventually, the caravan halted, and Jack suggested, "How about we make a brief stop to rest and camp under the stars? It's a perfect night for it."
Their party agreed, and as the moonlight spilled over the campsite, Jack and Zack found themselves sharing a quiet moment by the crackling campfire. The flames danced, casting shadows that played across their faces.
As the campfire crackled, casting a warm glow on the campsite, Zack and Jack found themselves nestled together, gazing up at the stars that adorned the night sky. A playful atmosphere filled the air.
Zack, his eyes fixed on the twinkling constellations, couldn't resist a witty remark. "You know, my love , they say stars are like wishes. What would you wish for?"
Jack, with a grin, replied, "I'd wish for the night to never end, so we could keep enjoying these moments under the stars."
Zack, sensing the flirtatious energy, smiled chimed in, "Be still my heart, you are so romantic when you want to be... it's a fine wish indeed. But tell me, do you believe in fate? Perhaps the stars have aligned for this very moment."
Jack, ever the charmer, leaned in with a teasing smile. "If the stars are storytellers, they're certainly working out in my favor that I get to spend my life with you."
Zack, catching on to the playful exchange, added, "And what a tale it is – a king, his husband, brought together because of fate, which brings them to a beautiful view of the stars."
As they continued their flirtatious banter, the campsite echoed with laughter and the gentle crackling of the campfire. Under the vast canvas of stars, the king and his loving and supportive consort shared a moment suspended in time, their connection illuminated by the radiant glow above.
Their conversation deepened as the night unfolded, blending laughter, shared dreams, and stolen glances under the canopy of stars. The crackling campfire and the dark of night created a serene ambiance, allowing Jack and Zack to enjoy each other's company in the quiet moments between the chapters of their adventurous journey to the Kingdom of Galanta.
