Surprise

They road hard, but not fast enough and were surrounded by fifty men. Gabriel eyed the men measuring them up. He knew that he could make it, but Carl would be taken down before he could get to him.

"What are we going to do?" Carl asked looking around at the men.

"You will give yourselves up of course," their leader said moving his horse closer.

"And if we choose not to?" Gabriel asked with a frown.

"The two of you will be killed, slowly."

"Why?"

"Why?" The leader asked.

"Yes why? We are on our way to Rome. Let us go and we shall not return."

"You have crossed holy grounds. Grounds that only "we" may cross."

"We did not know. I may be a friar but I do not know all the holy lands in the area," Carl said.

"Then it shall be you that will be punished."

"Wait, what is the punishment?" Gabriel asked getting worried for Carl's life.

"Death."

"Take me instead!" Gabriel insisted.

"Why?"

"I made the decision he just followed."

The man narrowed his eyes and he looked them over.

"No. As he said he is a friar."

"I ordered him to go this way. If I had not then we would have gone around. I am the one responsible."

"You would really die for this man?"

"Yes."

"What would you not do for him?"

Both frowned and looked at each other then back at the man.

"What do you mean?" Gabriel asked.

"Would you take him?"

"Do what?"

The man sighed and rolled his eyes to glare at him.
"Would you fuck him to save your lives?"

He saw how Gabriel flushed and swallowed hard unable to respond. He grinned and ordered his men to lead them to their camp.

Neither said a word the entire trip.

"Get down!" He ordered them.

Both got down and watched as their horses were led away.

"Take them into my tent," he snapped then ordered the rest of the men to take care of the camp.

He then went in.

"Stand guard outside."

"What do you really want from us?" Gabriel asked finally.

"I will watch you have him. IF you please me then I will let you go on your way to Rome. If that's really where you are headed."

"We better get it over with," Carl said moving over to the bed.

Gabriel let out a tense sigh, but followed removing his clothes watching as Carl became naked for him. He slowly eyed him from head to toes then returned his attention to setting his clothes aside. He wasn't surprised to find scented oil sitting next to the bed.

"I want you on your back friar," the man said sitting in a chair.

Carl swallowed hard but did as he was told. He was flushed from both arousal and embarrassment. He swallowed hard again as he caught sight of Gabriel's hard cock.

Gabriel kneeled over him and waited to see if there were any more orders.

"I would like to see you two, kiss. Then slowly caress your way down to his ass and prepare him for your beautiful cock."

Gabriel gazed into Carl's eyes and he slowly leaned down. As their lips met he had to close his eyes. He felt and heard Carl moan softly.

"Hold his hair back, I can not see."

Carl reached up and carefully held Gabriel's hair back as they continued to kiss. With a louder moan he parted his lips only to groan as Gabriel thrust his tongue into his mouth.

"Very good. Now I want to watch you make love to him."

Gabriel caressed his hands down Carl's body lifting his legs. He then dipped his fingers into the oil and used it to slick his passage while he carefully, but quickly stretched him. He then used more oil to coat his cock and gently slid inside stopping once to let him adjust.

The entire time they had been kissing taking small breaks to both breathe and moan. When he slowly pulled out they broke the kiss to moan deeply.

Gabriel couldn't believe that they were doing this, but was enjoying it immensely it felt soo good.
Carl was so lost in the incredible feeling that he had no thought that it was wrong. . . or it was thought to be wrong by the church. Heaven forbid if they ever found out.

Gabriel began to caress Carl all over leaning down to kiss him again deeply. Carl automatically reached up to hold Gabriel's hair back wanting to be able to see his face and watch the emotions play in his eyes.

'He loves me!' Carl gasped to himself amazed by it, but then felt his love for this man grow even greater.

As Gabriel felt himself getting close he reached and found Carl's cock and wrapped his fingers around it. He then began to pump it in time to his thrusts moaning louder as he felt him tightening around him then came over his hand. He followed him two thrusts later nipping his neck where his neck met the shoulder. He then gently pulled out and was surprised that the man had stood and moved over to them without his notice.

"Would you both like to bathe?"

"Yes," Gabriel said taking the warm flannel and cleaned them both.

Carl frowned as he watched the man leave, and heard him give the order for his bath to be drawn.

He then walked back in and handed them both robes to wear as well as sandals.

"Your bath is ready my lord," a guard said looking in.

"Very good," he said and the guard went back out.

"If you'll both follow me?" He asked and led them to his bath tent and inside.

"Wow!" Carl said unable to stop himself.

"Impressive, is it not?"

"Very."

"I'll leave you two to bathe. After come back to my tent for your clothes."

"And after that?" Gabriel asked.

"You may leave," he said and left.

"I don't trust him," Carl said taking the robe off and stepped out of the sandals to slowly sink in the warm water hiding the bite wound from Gabriel.

"Neither do I," Gabriel said following him into the water.

They relaxed in the warmth for a few minutes then quickly washed. Then got out dried off wrapping the robes around themselves. They then walked to the main tent in silence and went in to find it empty and frowned. Once they were dressed they found their horse's tied right outside the main tent. Not wanting to risk anything Gabriel jumped onto his horse and helped Carl onto his quickly. They then took off only to stop as they came to the next large town.

"We'll stop here and give the horses time to rest," Gabriel said.

"Of course," Carl agreed.
They got a room and went in to get away from the heat of the day and to think.

Carl went to the desk and took out a book and began to write things down. After a while he took out the other book he normally wrote in then wrote some more to finally close it with a deep sigh.

"Are you alright my friend?" Gabriel asked as he sat by the window.

"I'm fine Gabriel."

He nodded and got to his feet heading for the door.

"I'll get us dinner then," he said with a smile then left.

As he walked down the stairs the landlady walked up to him.

"How are you and the friar doing sir?"

"Fine, thank you," Gabriel said with a smile.

"Well, if either of you need anything just give a scream," she said and they both heard a loud scream from Carl.

"Well, that was fast," she said surprised.

"This is no joking matter woman!" Gabriel hissed to run back up the stairs and burst in to find Carl being held up against the wall by an brutish looking man.

"Ok, just let him down slowly!" Gabriel said not moving from the door.

The guy leered at him; but tightened his fingers just slightly making Carl wince.

"I'm the one your after now let him go Fredrick!" Gabriel yelled.

"He's pretty. Can I have him Van?"

"No. I told you what you can have."

"But?" He asked letting his hand relax.

"He said no, and he means it Fredrick!" Carl growled at him shoving him away to land on the floor.

"He says that, but he never. . ." Fredrick started to say, but Gabriel grabbed him and threw him outside in the alley.

"Maybe one day friend, but not today. If I see you again today I will not be so tolerant of you."

"I hears. I hears, and I goes. . . for now," he said and ambled away.

Gabriel rushed back in and over to Carl helping him to a chair and examined his throat letting out a sigh finding him unhurt.

"I'm fine. Really, I'm fine," Carl smiled.

"I know. Just wanted to be sure," he said backing away.

"Your lucky friar. He's a brute."
"He's just misguided," Gabriel said and moved back to the door.

"He is right," Carl said and straightened the room.

"If ya say so," she said and left.

Gabriel closed the door and went to Carl and pulled him close for a kiss surprising him.

"Hmm, not that I'm complaining, but?"

"I was so worried."

"I'm fine. Thought you were getting dinner?"

"I have a better idea. Let's go together."

"Are you sure?"

"Very."

They headed out and once dinner was over they took a walk. Gabriel grinned and grabbed Carl pulling him into the shelter of he trees making him gasp.

"What's gotten into you?" Carl asked but was pulled close.

"Hmm, good question," Gabriel said just looking into his eyes.

"Gabriel, are you feeling alright? You've been acting a little strange since we got to town."

"I have?"

"Yes."

"Hmm, that could be the cause," Gabriel said gazing up into the sky.

"Oh, it's a full moon. I hadn't realized. . . of course that explains it."

"It does?" Gabriel asked.

"Yes."

"Let's get back to our room then."

They headed back and Gabriel took off the coat and hat moving to sit by the window again.

"Gabriel, how do you feel? Exactly?" Carl asked from sitting at the desk.

"Alive. . ."

"Yes, I got that part. How do you really feel? Describe it if you can?"

"At peace, and excited in a way," he said with a slight frown as he thought it over.

"How?"

As Gabriel looked at him he knew what it was and smiled. He got down on his hands and knees and crawled over to Carl. He sniffed his leg then rested his head on his thigh sitting down.

"You were cured of the werewolf, but it seems that it's part of you still," Carl said and absentmindedly ran his fingers through his hair getting a response close to a pur and smiled.

Gabriel then lifted his head and rubbed his face against Carl's hand. He reached up and took it in his and began to kiss the palm making Carl gasp.

"Gabriel?"

"Hmm?" He asked stopping his gentle licking of Carl's inner wrist to look at him.

"Oh my," Carl gasped feeling himself get hard from both Gabriel's licking his skin to the look in his eyes.

Gabriel could smell him. He let his hand go and took hold of the chair and turned it so that he was facing him. He then leaned down and nuzzled his groin making him even harder and moan. He stood and pulled Carl up with him and backed to the bed. He stopped as he saw the uncertain look in his eyes.

"I want to make love to you again Carl. If you don't want me to then just say so and I'll stop."

"Can you?"

"Yes."

Carl felt so in love with Gabriel that he thought he could never say no to him. He was also his friend and didn't want to risk it, but he was so turned on that he thought that if he or they didn't do something soon he'd explode. He could accept that they would become lovers as long as Gabriel never forced him into it and knew he would never.

"I want you Gabriel. Make love to me?"

He saw Gabriel close his eyes and moan. He knew he had made the right decision and smiled leaning forward for a kiss. Gabriel let him kiss him and moaned. He then began to strip only to have his hands brushed aside. Carl then finished stripping him then himself.

"Is there anything you would like to try?" Gabriel asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Would you like to make love to me this time?"

"You would let me?"

"Of course."

Carl felt excitement rush through his veins and pulled Gabriel close for a deeper kiss making them both moan.

Gabriel backed up pulling Carl with then reluctantly broke the kiss to lay on the bed pulling Carl to lay over him. He met him in another kiss and showed him how to prepare him for love making. He moaned deeply as Carl slowly guided his way into him only to stop once all the way in.

"Feels soo good!"

"Yes!"

Carl then slowly pulled out to push back in with a deep moan. Once passion took over he went faster then harder.

When Gabriel thought that Carl was getting close he took Carl's hand and wrapped it around his own cock and moaned as he began to fondle it.

"Oh yes! Oh Gabriel!" Carl moaned tightening his hand on his cock and pumped it harder and faster while thrusting faster and harder.

"Oh gods! CARL!" Gabriel said and came with his name in a hard moan.

"Yes! Oh gods Gabriel!" Carl moaned and came hard.

He gently pulled out and collapsed next to him letting his breathing return to normal.

Gabriel just smiled and wrapped his arms around him and fell asleep.

When they woke later they got up and washed. Once dressed they got ready and left returning to Rome.
