Chapter Five - Shadows Of The Past
Adrian smiled as he picked up. "Your Majesty, always on time."
He stretched on the bed, lazily, touching his chest. Edward's voice was sex, even when they talked about mundane stuff. What was he thinking? They never talked about mundane stuff.
"Why shouldn't I be? I've sent something to your address. It is a suit, and I hope it fits you to a tee. It should arrive by tomorrow."
"Something wrong with my fashion sense?" Adrian asked right away.
"Not at all, and you look good in anything. It's just that I want you to make an entrance when I take you to our private club this Saturday."
"I can barely wait to see how rich perverts party," Adrian said and laughed.
"What a naughty boy," Edward said in a low, measured voice that was giving Adrian goosebumps. "I adore these little bouts of rebellion; they really add to the anticipation of me breaking you in."
Adrian turned on his belly, his half-hard cock rubbing against the coverlet. He didn't care for being dominated, but Edward's voice and promises were doing wonders to his cock and arousal ever since he had met the man. "What if you never break me in?"
"That would be a premiere. I would admit defeat, of course."
"Hmm, sounds good. What's the prize, though?"
"Besides my admittance that I failed?"
"Yeah. That sounds sweet, too, though."
"What would you like?"
Adrian pondered for a bit. "I'll think about it. It has to be something that goes against your grain."
"Absolutely. I wouldn't have it any other way."
There was a small break in the conversation. Adrian waited. Edward had a way of messing with him that only made him excited about what would follow.
"You're silent," Edward pointed out.
"As you are," Adrian said in reply.
"So why aren't we saying our goodbyes so that we can see about our evening?"
"Why, indeed." Adrian chuckled. "Are you sure about this? About me?"
"Are you getting cold feet, Adrian?"
"Not at all. I'm just teasing you. You'll lose, you know? Wait, is there a time constraint? How long do I have to resist to your futile attempts to fuck me?"
"Ah, I like this. You're practical. Well, I suppose we should put all the terms down. How about six months?"
"Wow. That would be the longest relationship I've ever been in," Adrian commented. "You're making me sign my freedom over to you."
"I'll make it worth your while," Edward replied politely. "So, I guess we're at that point where we should play along with a clichΓ©, right?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Adrian said, still pushing his cock lazily against the bed, giving it just a little bit of rub.
"What are you wearing?" Edward's voice was half seductive silk and half spicy irony.
Adrian loved how he was learning to read the man. "Absolutely nothing. And I'm rubbing my dick against my sheets, imagining how it would be to have you under me."
"I hope those sheets are nothing close to a resemblance to my person."
"They're not. It's frustrating, really. I wish you could skip whatever it is you need to do tonight and come around."
"You still think I'm your booty call."
"Call it whatever you like. I need you here."
"Will you go back on your word and abandon me on Saturday if I don't relent?"
"No. A word's a word. I gave it, so I won't take it back. But it would be so nice to feel you."
Adrian waited, pretending he wasn't keeping his breath, not quite so, for Edward to reply.
"It might turn into a lesson. You might not appreciate it as much."
Adrian made a silent sign of victory, his fist closed. "Oh, if it's your ass, I think I will appreciate it very much."
"Are you looking forward to your training, then?"
"Have it your way. As long as I'm satisfied, you can run your mouth all you want. Your sexy mouth," Adrian added shortly.
"I don't usually comply with such requests. You're barely trying, Adrian."
"That must be my charm." Adrian grinned, knowing well the other couldn't see that. "Admit it, Edward. I'm intriguing you. I challenge you, and you let me get away with stuff because no one ever did that to you."
"You flatter yourself and reduce my experience and expertise to nothing. I have been challenged before."
"Maybe you didn't like the guy. Maybe you like me," Adrian explained right away.
"That must be." The amusement in Edward's voice was easy to guess.
"Then let's cut this convo short. I'm not one for phone sex when I can have the real deal."
"All right then. I will be with you shortly."
"And then I'll be in you," Adrian joked and snickered.
"So crude," Edward remarked, but he laughed, too.
His Majesty could pretend all he wanted. Adrian was sure no one ever told this guy 'no', whatever his pretensions were. Now, that he was challenged, he must have drawn some kinky excitement from saying 'yes' to whatever Adrian was asking.

Adrian had no qualms with answering the door completely naked. Edward watched him, giving him a short look and then entered. "What if there was someone else at the door?"
"I would have just told them that I was expecting my booty call."
