The Ghost King's KeeperCh90.2 - King’s Approach [Mild NSFW]

When Ruzen woke up again, he was hungry and in need of food. His mouth was dry so maybe he was thirsty as well. 

The bright light illuminating the hall was actual natural sunlight, so assuming it was day time, Ruzen blinked away the dizziness and focused on his surroundings.  6ZYg7H

The King was nowhere in sight, but Ruzen saw his robe still on the couch, which could mean he was somewhere around, just not in view. 

Ruzen looked towards the side and he saw an extravagant dish laid out for him to eat. Looking at the variety and the amount, it appeared to be lunch time.

So, Ruzen got up to eat, eager to finish up before the King returned. He was still wearing the shimmery robe, and there was no one else in sight, so Ruzen didn’t mind eating almost fully nude. 

His body felt light and well rested, nothing wrong with his back hole, neither his insides, which meant everything was fine.  xsGuAt

He had his own worries which needed to be discussed with the King, but as of now, he wasn’t very eager to ruin his good mood with morbid thoughts and anxiety. 

Feeding himself full until he was ready to burst, Ruzen shifted away from the now empty dishes and waited around on the bed with an empty head. He saw sunlight, observing the powerful rays, and thinking if it was just his imagination or the hall was warmer than usual. He mused it must be the sunlight… Thankfully the hall wasn’t fully open, so his bed was still in shade. 

Absentmindedly, he remained where he was and vaguely felt lazy. Generally, he would be awake enough when eating or even after, but today he was not aware of much as time passed and he laid still.  

He registered that there was a big area on the left which had a shallow pool. It hadn’t been there previously, or maybe Ruzen hadn’t noticed it, but for whatever reason, he wanted to take a dip in it and soak. Maybe the calm water would keep him awake. 

So, disregarding his falling shimmery robe, Ruzen stepped out of bed and made his way towards the pool. It was bigger than a jacuzzi but smaller than a standard pool. More like, just a resting spot to cool down the body. 

Humming, Ruzen sat at the edge of the pool, the smooth marble underneath him colder than rest of the surfaces. He dipped his legs inside the pool and moved them around playfully. His body was healed and well, the skin softer and paler, his tiredness had also vanished after a solid rest.

He had wanted to submerge in the pool, but he was enjoying the sun as it fell on his bare back and the coolness of water as his legs floated in the pool. If was a while after that Ruzen felt a presence behind him. 

Opening his eyes lazily, Ruzen turned around to look, he couldn’t ignore it even if he wanted to. His King was there, staring at him as Ruzen enjoyed his stay and the peacefulness.  DKnYVU

But to his astonishment, the King was wearing another set of robes, fully dressed in official blue.  

Had he been to a meeting? Ruzen wondered, feeling a bit out of sorts in presence of a fully dressed partner. 

“Is Ruzen enjoying himself?” The King asked in a low voice, his teal eyes gazing at Ruzen with unhurried attention, calm and pleasant. 

“The pool… the water is nice.”   ESzW7T

“Have you eaten?” 

“…yes.” 

“Do you feel tired still?” 

Ruzen wanted to say yes, but after some thought he said no. He didn’t feel tired, but there was still this laziness within that held him from being active. But it was not a strange development.  IQ80MG

The King moved towards the bed, picking up the shimmery robe and walked back towards the pool, holding out the robe as if urging Ruzen to wear them. 

Ruzen flushed a little again, his King was serving him personally, it felt good. He felt important.

Getting up with wet legs, Ruzen walked over to the king, leaving a trail of water behind him. He wasn’t yet confident to keep eye contact while naked, but with everything they had done, he felt it wasn’t too shameful. His steps were steady but the wet marbles were slippery, so he walked carefully.  

The King held up the robes as Ruzen dove his hands into the sleeves and adjusted it for a more comfortable fit.  3 xIB0

He was about to turn around and speak to the King, but he was interrupted when a warm hand pressed on his head, and patted his hair down. “You have been so good to Us, We are pleased to have you in our ranks. We do hope Ruzen is also pleased?” 

Ruzen blinked, feeling the warmth of the hand seeping into his head, a dizzy sort of gentleness soothing his heart and mind. “I am happy,” he conveyed coyly, tilting his head away but reluctant to make the hand stop patting him. The King wasn’t human but he certainly made his actions speak louder. Where had he learned to pet? Hopefully, he didn’t do the same things to others just to encourage them. Or Ruzen would feel jealous. 

It was a while before Ruzen and his King settled on the bed again, with the King actively letting his robes go and shedding the layers with ease. 

Ruzen was too embarrassed to watch directly, but he still peeked from under his lashes, catching sight of pale white skin and hard toned muscles. The chest was wide, the shoulders were broad, the waist was strong and sturdy, while the arms were solid and carved. The lower half of the body was still covered with a section of inner clothes, but that too was taken off as the King unhurriedly did the chore.   LYye6N

Watching the last piece of cloth falling on the ground, Ruzen gulped audibly, that ‘thing’ was… no longer monstrous, with bumps on it… it ch-changed shape, size and girth! 

In his haze he registered late that his king’s ‘stuff’ was… somewhat human now, albeit bigger than a human’s. It made sense to have something different because of racial differences, like earlier when it was dark and big, with bumpy ridges… but suddenly… it changed…? 

Was it because Ruzen had been skeptical about it? He knew a Ghost’s physically form wasn’t rigid… a reason he had came up with after his several encounters… but could they change forms so readily? 

“My King… you changed…that?”  Kjfdmd

Ruzen had been a little afraid… but he never wanted the King to go to such lengths… it didn’t make sense to make things difficult for the King. If that huge dark bumpy thing was King’s real form, he was happy to make do with it. 

Not that it mattered much, he was eager to experience strange things now, so it was all good. 

To him, the King was his only support and partner, someone who was expected to make Ruzen feel safe and happy. Ruzen had been afraid to fully depend on him, he still had his doubts, but with the way things were going, he was slowly but steadily losing his reservations against the King. 

“We hadn’t studied in full context, what form a human has beneath,” The king spoke steadily, looking at Ruzen’s reaction, “so we accommodated now. We hope to bring you pleasure with this, not scare you during your first rite.”  DojtN2

“I am sorry for being difficult…” Ruzen felt slightly overwhelmed with King’s approach, but his heart hurt a little… he felt selfish. “I am willing to go along with you my King, please don’t feel like I am trying to change you…” 

“Ruzen is good, We aren’t complaining, are We?” 

“Then… will we start now then? Or will we wait for the night?” Ruzen blurted out before he could stop himself, when he saw the King was already leaning towards the bed, his figure shifting to sit. He was fully naked now, except his hair that still had a piece of jewelry clipped behind his ear, it was a simple silver clip, shiny and intricate in pattern. It was unfamiliar, but Ruzen didn’t have time to care about that right now. 

“Does Ruzen wants to wait?” The alluring voice asked him as the King sat patiently waiting for Ruzen.   UVF BP

Ruzen looked at the patient King, the strong glow from the sun shedding its reflection over him, the black long hair loosely hanging over his pale skin and curious eyes looking over at him, observing his expression. 

Ruzen found himself staring back at the beautiful creature, noticing his feline like grace and strong presence, all directed towards Ruzen. It suddenly made him aware of how lucky he was, to have a partner who didn’t deny being tricky, but certainly never forced Ruzen to make any decisions, a partner that cared whether Ruzen liked his d*ck or not. Sure, the King had his ways, but he did seem to care about what Ruzen felt, even if he himself wasn’t aware of humane emotions.

It was strange, but Ruzen found it amusing. He smiled at the King, “Hug me?” And he chuckled happily, when he was caught into a solid hug from the King. It was warm and nice. Safe.  

Closing his eyes, he said, “I am ready, please proceed.” It was unsexy, to confirm his willingness, but it also made him feel better. He felt, if he got scared, his king would certainly take care of him.  RZB pE
