This is a continuation, at long last, of my "Taming the Tsarevitch" story. I've decided to start up on it again, but this time I'm going to release each part as its own fully functioning story. Enjoy!

Nikolai would not admit to himself that he was afraid, but as ten o' clock ticked nearer, he couldn't stop himself from pacing nervously around his bedchamber. Maxim would arrive soon and Nikolai kept having second thoughts about what he would do when the man got here. Should he stand tall, try to duel him again? Perhaps he should remain majestically silent. He had almost decided to try to rationalize with Maxim, to use reasoned argument to convince him that this affair could not continue, when the door opened. Maxim strode in and said, "Hello Kolya."
"How dare you not identify yourself before entering my private rooms?" He glared at Maxim, fighting the urge to stammer and look down at the floor.
"I don't need to ask your permission princling," Maxim said calmly.
"Don't call me that!" Nikolai felt himself turning red.
"You seem to have forgotten about humility already," Maxim replied. "Come here." He crooked a finger at Nikolai, who was horrified to find that part of him was only too eager to obey. He stayed where he was.
"No," he said. "Get out of here Maxim. I don't want to see you again."
Maxim moved faster than Nikolai had ever seen a man move. He was suddenly standing so close to him that their chests almost touched. He reached down and grabbed the prince's cock through the thin cloth of his breeches. Nikolai cried out, his knees almost buckling. Maxim fondled the bulge at the prince's crotch thoughtfully for a moment and then he pushed Nikolai away. "You're already half-hard Kolya."
"It's your fault!" Nikolai almost wailed. He had stumbled and fallen to one knee when Maxim pushed him and he was horrified to find that he was now close to tears. "You did things to me! You bewitched me!"
"You know damn well that you wanted it," Maxim growled. "You want it again too, don't you?"
"No!" Nikolai cried, getting to his feet and backing away. "Get out of here!"
Maxim grabbed hold of his wrist and pulled him into an embrace. He stared down into the prince's face for a moment and Nikolai's breath caught in his throat. Then Maxim lowered his head and brought his lips down on Kolya's. His tongue drove deep inside of Nikolai's mouth, plundering him, claiming him, and he was powerless not to respond to it. His knees grew weak and Maxim had to hold him upright. He began to return the kiss, unsure of himself. Maxim groaned and pulled away. "Don't lie to me princling," he said, stroking Nikolai's cheek. "You've been craving this. You've been thinking about it all day, haven't you?"
It was true. Much as he would have like to deny it, Nikolai had indeed found himself yearning for the pleasure that Maxim had given him. There had been something thrilling in surrendering himself so completely. As much as he wanted to experience that abandonment again, he knew it was wrong. He was the future tsar of all the Russias. No one was higher than him, save his father, and the old man was dying. "No," he breathed, and he knew that Maxim would see it for the lie it was.
"It will be so much easier if you admit it," Maxim said, running one hand through Nikolai's silky blonde hair.
"I can't," the prince said.
"And that is what I need to break you of Kolya. You need to learn to be true to yourself. You need to learn how to humble yourself. A great leader must humble himself before his people." He kissed Nikolai again, lingeringly. "And what better way for you to learn humility," he said when they had broken apart, "than for you to spend some time on your knees. Get down in front of me princling." Kolya thought about struggling, about putting up a fight as he had the previous night, and his inner struggle must have shown in his face. "If you don't kneel on your own, Nikolai, I'm going to have to force you, and I promise that you won't like it. Be a good boy and kneel for me."
"Don't talk to me like I'm your pet."
"But you are Nikolai," Maxim said, "You're my troublesome little pet. Now kneel. I won't ask again."
Nikolai stared at him, his cheeks burning, and then he lowered his eyes. He hated to admit it, but he was afraid of what Maxim would do to him if he disobeyed. He got to his knees on the floor so that his head was level with Maxim's crotch. "Good boy," the man said. He ruffled Nikolai's hair and then he pressed the prince's face against his cock. He could feel that Maxim was already hard and the idea sent a thrill coursing through him. He had a little power after all. This man desired him. "You know what I want you to do, don't you Kolya?"
"Yes." Nikolai whispered.
