The Stablemaster’s Heart by Sarah Honey

Tales of Lilleforth, Book 2

Mother Jones has spent his life working hard, running the royal stables at Lilleforth, and watching on fondly as those around him fall in love and lust.

But nobody, man or woman, has ever stoked that fire for him—right until the new royal groom barrels into his life. Vasily is all sunshine smiles, golden hair and laughter. For the first time, Mother finds himself attracted to someone, and he can’t help wondering what it might be like to court—and bed—his handsome new groom.

But Mother is over thirty, rough around the edges, and hardly a catch.

Vasily couldn’t possibly return his affections—could he?

Vasily Petrov, the fourth son of the king of Koroslova, is travelling incognito for a year. In Koroslova the old ways are the only ways, and a man being attracted to another man is unthinkable—especially if you’re a prince. But in Lilleforth, Vasily has the chance to spread his wings and explore the side of himself that he can no longer deny, and he intends to make the most of it.

Except, he’s falling for his stablemaster—and worse, Mother doesn’t know he’s a prince, and Vasily doesn’t know how to tell him. And the longer he waits, the more he fears losing what they have when the truth comes out.

This was not the plan.

He slid his hands under the hem of Vasily’s shirt and up his back, tracing the lines of muscle, and gods, how had he ever thought he wasn’t interested in this? He shoved Vasily’s shirt upward, a wordless request, and Vasily let go of him to peel the garment over his head and discard it on the floor. Mother took the chance to peel out of his own shirt. He drank in the sight of Vasily’s broad chest and reached out and brushed a thumb over his nipple. Vasily gasped, making the same lovely little shocked sound he had last time Mother had touched him there.

Mother didn’t hesitate to do it again and then, feeling bold, he leaned down and laved his tongue over the hardening nub. Vasily tasted faintly of soap and fresh sweat, and Mother wanted more. He took the nipple in his mouth and sucked.

“No!” Vasily stiffened and jerked back from Mother’s touch as if he’d been struck by lightning.

Mother stilled, his heart racing. He straightened and cupped Vasily’s face in one hand, searching for any sign of distress.

Vasily grinned at him. “That was—it was too good,” he said, a little breathless, “and I was hoping to make it out of my trousers this time.”

Oh.

Mother grinned back. “Well then, we’d best get them off,” he said, and set to work making it happen. Vasily’s lacings parted under his fingers, and at Vasily’s nod Mother slid his trousers and smallclothes down to his knees.

Vasily stilled him with a hand to his shoulder, looking lost for a moment, before he tugged his trousers back up and sat in one of the wooden chairs. It took Mother a moment, but he soon realised Vasily had only sat down to remove his boots, and he promptly sat down to do the same.

When he lifted his head from tugging at his boot, he froze, dumbstruck, at the vision in front of him. His boot hit the floor with a thunk.

He’d seen Vasily naked once before, but now, with his cock standing hard and proud, his body gleaming in the lamplight, and dark lines of shadow dancing over his skin and highlighting the curves and planes, he was the most beautiful sight Mother had ever seen.

“Gods, lad,” he said, voice hoarse with want.

Vasily, wearing a pleased smile, turned slightly to face him. He extended a hand, and Mother stood, pausing only to shed his trousers before taking it, his heart thundering and cock throbbing at the acres of gorgeous, smooth skin in front of him. He wanted to touch all of it.

The King’s Delight

King Leopold of Lilleforth rules his kingdom well. He’s handsome, intelligent, and charming. It’s no wonder the neighbouring kingdoms are eager to provide him with a princess to marry. There’s just one problem—Leo has no interest in princesses. His tastes tend more towards handsome young men who enjoy a good spanking.

Felix Hobson left the kingdom of Lilleforth as a teenager to train as a groom. While he was away he learned a lot, and not all of it had to do with horses—although riding crops were definitely involved. Now an adult, Felix is home to take up the position of royal groom, where he hopes he’ll have plenty of opportunities for a roll in the hay.

When Felix mistakes Leopold for a horse thief and attempts to seduce him, Leopold is delighted by the irreverent, attractive lad, and sparks fly. Their arrangement is all fun and games, right until they both fall hard and fast. But while what they have together is a delight, there’s no way it can last—can it?

They’ll have to navigate a visiting princess, an assassination attempt, and a kidnapping if they want a chance to find out.
