Summary: A knight in the King's service, attacked by thieves and lost in the forest in the dead of winter, finds himself on the doorstep of a kind farmer who takes him in and cares for him. Falling in love with his savior, the knight is bound by an oath taken years ago against his better judgment.




David stepped out of the bedroom and watched Craig sleeping for a few minutes. Crossing the room to the makeshift bed of blankets and quilts, he knelt down next to the sleeping knight. Slowly, he leaned forward studying the beautiful face, so serene in sleep. Almost holding his breath, he leaned ever closer and pressed his lips against Craig's in a gentle kiss.

Craig’s eyes fluttered open as he felt soft lips against his own. //David?// Wrapping his arms around the owner of those delicious lips, he sighed into the kiss and let his fingers run through soft red hair, gently cupping the back of David’s head and pulling him closer. His lips parted and he felt a warm, slick tongue exploring his mouth, as his eyes closed again and he gave himself over to the kiss.

As Craig's lips parted beneath his own David sighed and let his tongue slip forward to slide along the darker man's, tasting and savoring the unique flavor that was Craig's own. Shifting his body slightly, David lay down on top of Craig letting his fingers trail through dark hair before drawing back to look into sparkling blue eyes. "I need you, Craig," he whispered softly as his hand moved down his love's chest, feeling strong taut muscles through his nightshirt.

Craig leaned up to recapture David’s lips as his arousal immediately sprang to life. “I need you too,” he murmured against his lover’s lips. Sliding his fingers underneath David’s nightshirt, he pulled back only long enough to drag it over his head, then managed to remove his own without changing their positions. His kisses trailed from beloved lips, over David’s jaw, and down his neck, where he gently licked and marked the warm skin he found there. “Make love to me, please?”

David gasped as Craig spoke and nodded. "Yes," he whispered, his own arousal pressing against the smooth skin of Craig's thigh. Scooting back, he trailed soft kisses down Craig's chest before stopping at a taut nipple, teasing it with his teeth and tongue, then dragging his lips across his lover's chest to give the same attention to it's twin. His hands traveled down smooth skin until his fingers wrapped around the hard shaft, stroking it slowly. David scooted back until he was on his heels between Craig's legs and smiled lovingly before leaning forward and sealing his lips around the leaking arousal.

Craig hips arched up off the bed as a low moan fell from his lips. He felt his already aching arousal twitch between David’s lips and reached one hand down to thread through his lover’s soft hair. As his cock was slowly engulfed inch by inch, his body shivered with desire. “God, love,” he murmured. He fought not to thrust up into the inviting heat as his free hand scrambled over the bed sheets, trying desperately to find purchase, needing to be grounded as David made sweet love to him with his mouth.

David moaned as Craig writhed under him and took Craig's shaft in even further. With his hands on his lover's hips David urged Craig to thrust into his mouth while he reached beside them for the oil lamp. Blindly, he removed the globe and dipped his fingers inside coating them with the slick oil. Slowly, his fingers trailed down, caressing heavy balls before his fingertip slid around his lover's tight entrance. Moving his finger forward, it circled slowly and then dipped inside.

Shifting his hips, Craig gasped as he felt a slick finger slide deep within him. Unable to resist, he moved up into his lover’s mouth and down onto the delving finger, driving it deeper inside and feeling the tip brush against his prostate. A thin sheen of sweat covered his forehead and a low moan escaped from his lips as white lights flashed behind his eyelids. “More, love,” he moaned. “I need to feel you inside me.”

David felt his own cock twitch violently as Craig moaned. Quickly, he dipped his hand into the oil again and slicked himself, and then leaned back, withdrawing his fingers carefully before replacing them with his aching shaft. Sinking forward slowly, he didn't stop until he was buried to the hilt within his lover. "God, Craig. So tight," he gasped, leaning down and kissing the damp skin of his lover's neck.

Craig locked his legs around David’s waist, pulling him in even deeper. His arms moved over his lover’s back as his body began to relax around the thick shaft piercing him, and he pressed his lips against David’s temple. Tilting his hips up, he sighed as his lover began to move, and turned his head to stare into lust darkened blue eyes. Making love to David was pure bliss and he knew he’d never, ever be able to get enough of him. “Move,” he pleaded softly. “Please take me love…show me how much you love me.”

David leaned up on his elbows staring into Craig's eyes for a moment before drawing his hips back and thrusting forward deeply, each thrust faster than the last as he lost himself in his lover. "I do love you, so very much, Craig," he whispered as they made love. He could feel the pressure of his release building within him as they moved together. Shifting back onto his knees, he drew Craig up with him until they were chest to chest and thrust up into his body, feeling the already tight muscles clench around him. David's hand trailed between them to wrap around Craig's rigid arousal trapped there, and began stroking it in time with his deep thrusts.

Wrapping his arms around David’s shoulders, Craig felt his lover’s shaft move even deeper inside him, touching his very core. He gazed into beloved blue eyes and tried to convey all he was feeling as the thick column of flesh moved within him, pulled back until it was almost free, then thrust forward again and again. Finally holding his lover closer, Craig buried his face in David’s neck and closed his eyes, riding his lover hard and fast. “I love you too, David,” he whispered between moans. “More than anything.”

As they moved faster and faster together David felt his need for release growing within him. Sucking on the sensitive skin of his lover's neck, David continued to move with his lover. "Please, love. Come with me," he cried out as he thrust deep one last time. David's release slammed into him hard and he spilled deep within his lover over and over again as tight muscles clenched around him.

Craig’s head fell back as David’s release spilled within him, his already tight and contracting passage being filled again and again with his lover’s warm seed. He drove his body downward one final time, then up into the hand surrounding him and felt his own release spill hot and slick over David’s fingers. He leaned forward again and pressed his lips to his lover’s, losing himself in a deep kiss, and he knew, without a doubt, that he was home…that if David ever left him, he would never find this kind of love again. When he drew away, he was gasping for air, and simply clung to the man he loved as his body trembled with the aftermath of his orgasm.

David moaned softly as Craig's muscles tightened around him again and he spilled between their bodies. After long moments, he lay his lover gently back onto the bed and kissed him gently. "I love you, Craig," he whispered as he collapsed next to his lover and wrapped his arms around him. "No one has ever touched my heart, and my soul the way you do. I am yours, love," he whispered.

Craig pulled David closer and buried his face in his lover’s hair. “As I am yours now, and always,” he whispered, running his fingertips along David’s temple and down over his cheek, memorizing every inch of his beloved face. “You are absolutely everything to me, sweetheart, and I love you more than I ever thought possible.”

David heard noises in the other room and worried that even though Craig had been doing better the last few weeks, that his cough had returned. Walking into the other room, the firelight cast a soft glow across the room and he could see sweat glistening on Craig's forehead. Worried about him, David quickly moved to his side and dropped down beside the knight. "Craig?" he asked softly, pressing his hand against his forehead. He heard Craig whisper something and then sat back on his heels, feeling his heart breaking in his chest. //If only he'd say those words to me...if only he felt that for me.// "Craig? Are you all right?" he asked shaking the other man slightly.

Craig’s eyes opened slowly and he gazed at David with bleary eyes. //How did he get over there? I was just holding him! And how did he get dressed again so quickly?// He started to reach back up and pull his lover back into his embrace, when he realized his fingers were wrapped around his recently spent arousal, and his stomach and groin were covered with his release. //Oh, God. It wasn’t real…it was a dream. A perfect dream that couldn’t possibly come true.// His face flushed and he rolled over onto his side, drawing his knees up in an effort to conceal the results of his activities. “I….I’m fine,” he murmured softly. “I was just…just dreaming.”

David sat back on his heels and stared at Craig for a moment. "Oh...Oh," he said his eyes going a little wider. "I'm sorry I disturbed you...I'll...I'll just go back to bed. I...I was worried," he said starting to stand up. He felt silly for waking him, and embarrassed because judging by what Craig was saying in his sleep and the sweat on his brow he obviously was dreaming about Karl. "I...I'm so sorry, I'll let you get back to your dreams of Karl now. Goodnight," he said as his face flushed red even in the dim firelight.

Craig averted his eyes and stared into the darkness. “I wasn’t dreaming about Karl,” he whispered softly. He’d never say those things to Karl…never had felt the slightest desire to, and never would. Sex with his best friend was good and comfortable – they each knew the other’s body’s well, and knew how best to touch and tease their lover to climax, moving fast and hard against each other’s bodies…but this…this was different. What he’d just experienced, even though it was in a dream, was what he’d always wanted, always hoped was out there. This was making love, and it was exquisite, and perfect, and the one thing he’d give anything to have in his life forever. The one thing he knew he could only find with the man who had been kneeling by his side. //Talk with Karl first. You must be free before you even consider making David care for you…if that’s even possible.// Closing his eyes, he hoped David wouldn’t ask any more questions….at least not on this night.

David stared at Craig for a moment as he said he wasn't dreaming about Karl and wanted to ask whom he was dreaming of. Who would make him say those things...feel those things even in his sleep but instead he nodded. "I...I'll let you get back to sleep then. Goodnight, Craig," he said softly before rising and returning to the bedroom, closing the door softly behind him. David crawled back into the bed that felt so much lonelier without Craig these last days and closed his eyes against the tears that threatened to fall. //You are driving yourself mad. He will never love you...you have to get over this.// Though he knew that he would never get over Craig. He loved him, and nothing, not even the fact that Craig didn't love him in return, was going to change that.

Craig sighed as David left the room, fighting the urge to reach out and beg him to come back so he could simply hold him. //I was dreaming about you, David. And if I can ever drag myself away from you long enough to journey back to St. Albans and speak with Karl, I’ll beg you for the chance to let me show you how much I adore you….and to demonstrate exactly what I was dreaming.// Biting his bottom lip, he watched the bedroom door close silently behind David, then cleaned himself with the edge of the blanket and tried to get comfortable. //Even if we can’t make love, I’d give anything to just be back in bed with you, and feel your body against mine. Anything at all.// With a last, dejected sigh, he forced himself to try and go back to sleep, but the thoughts of his dream and the man in the next room kept him awake, tossing and turning for hours.
