..........................................................................

To Cortax’s glee he had found his leverage, there in the middle of the wood stood his run away fiancée with two bundles clutched to his chest. Those bastard’s brats! He spurred his horse towards Ainu, watching with satisfaction as his eyes turned big and he spun on his heel and raced off into the forest.

“You’re not getting away from me you little whore!” He drove his horse through the bushes not caring about the gashes that the thorns were leaving on the animal. With every stride of his horse Cortax was getting closer and closer to Ainu. No matter how nibble the other man was, he did not, could not match the speed of the horse.

Ainu glanced behind, terrified to see Cortax getting closer. This was worse then his dream…this was real. He clutched the twins to his chest, their cries only driving him to push his body further. He couldn’t use his power…not without dropping or hurting one of the twins.

His feet pounded the ground, roots and branches causing him to stumble but the steady beating of hooves behind him drove him to hurry his desperate flight. Soon there were hands clutching at him, at the twins. He was grabbed by the waist and tugged up on the horse, a tight grip held him as he clutched the twins to his chest.

“Well, well, well, who have we here? Little Ainu with the bastard children. I told you, you’d be mine. And you know the best thing you rotten little whore?” Ainu shook his head, trying to escape the tight grasp that Cortax had on him. “The best thing is that I now have the leverage I need.”

“W…W…What do you mean?”

“The leverage against that pointed eared freak…he wouldn’t want to harm his precious bastards would he or you.”

“If you hurt my children I’ll…”

“You’ll what Ainu?” Cortax grinned. “You’ll burn me? I don’t think you want your precious little bastards hurt either. You will be a good boy and do as you’re told.” Cortax drew his horse to an abrupt halt and Ainu was slammed face first into the horse’s neck. He cried out. Ainu was dragged off the horse and pushed to the ground. He clutched onto the twins, trying to calm them. He didn’t have time to catch his breath though because he was dragged forward by his hair. Cortax gave him a violent shove, sending him tumbling through a tent flap and onto the floor, clutching onto the twins. “Strip.”

“WHAT?! No, there is no way I’m stripping for you, you arrogant, filthy, disgusting, slimey…” He was struck hard. Ainu cried out in pain and looked up at Cortax, fear cursing through him as he saw the spark of insanity in the other man’s eyes.

“Silence you’re nothing. Just a little whore and I will have my revenge.” He struck Ainu again. “Now strip. Or your bastards will live to regret it…or they might not live at all.” With a violent wrench Cortax tore the twins out of Ainu’s arms. Ainu’s hands flared with a blue fire. “Oh I wouldn’t do that if I was you…unless you want one of the little bastards hurt.” A knife was pressed to Silivren’s throat.

“No! No don’t hurt him.” Tears filled Ainu’s eyes and reluctantly he started to pull off his tunic. Cortax’s lust filled eyes took in the creamy expanse of chest that was being revealed to him. His fingers itches to run his nails down it and create deep red welts on that smooth surface.

Ainu hesitated when he reached his trousers. He only too clearly remembered what had happened the last time that he had been naked with Cortax and he was very certain about what exactly Cortax had in mind. His eyes flicked over to Anael who had been thrown onto the cot that was standing in the corner without so much as a regard for his health. They then flicked over to where Cortax was holding Silivren still firmly in his grasp. The knife was still pressed against the little boy’s neck, he was crying, the panicked wail driving a stake through Ainu’s heart.

“Take off your trousers!” Ainu hesitated again but then pulled them off, revealing everything to Cortax’s greedy eyes. Cortax licked his lips salaciously. “Lie down!”

“Cortax please…”

“I SAID LIE DOWN WHORE!” Ainu dropped to the floor, his brain working nineteen to the dozen. His eyes flicking around for a weapon, any weapon. He couldn’t use his powers, not with the twins in such close vicinity. The sudden weight that dropped down on him made him gasp. “Hello there…now at last you’re in your place.” A resounding slap hit the side of his face. It made his ears ring and his vision blur. “Don’t do anything stupid now Ainu, while I have my way with you, Gergul will make sure that you are….cooperative.”
Ainu’s vision cleared and to his horror he saw a great giant of a man holding onto his little son.

“Make one wrong move little whore and your little bastard will be a squashed little bastard.” Cortax released his still slightly charred looking dick; it was strange Ainu thought, that he should notice something like this in this horrifying situation.

Ainu saw a slight glint in the corner of his eye as Cortax prepared to rape him, the man’s mad laughing grating on his already frayed nerves. A small smirk crossed his lips as he lunged forward, reflexes honed from years of secret training coming to work. He tugged the dagger out of the secret compartment in Cortax’s leather armour and rammed it into his inner thigh. Ripping it out he flung it at the giant, catching him in the throat and causing him to drop Silivren.

Ainu dove forward and clasped his son to his chest. He spun around and grabbed Anael, fleeing the tent immediately.

Cortax was wild with fury. He shouted orders while pulling up his trousers. How had that little whore managed to get one over on him again? This time Ainu would pay with his life, he didn’t give a damn about leverage anymore; no…this time he would rid himself of the cause of his constant humiliation. Cortax mounted his horse and chased after his would be rape victim.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Syrus had been shocked, furious, scared out of his wits when he had met a bleeding Faye on his pursuit of Cortax and been told the news of where exactly his husband and his son’s were. He had then spurred on his horse, following the tracks to the camp only to find a dead giant and Ainu’s clothes in a tent, but no sign of Cortax or his angel. There had been no mentionable resistance in the camp…most of Cortax’s army had given up when they lost the fight at the main city.

He followed the hoof tracks and arrived just to be faced with the scene of his naked husband pressed against a tree clutching their children to his chest. He saw the relief cross Ainu’s face.

“SYRUS! TAKE THE TWINS!” Their children came sailing towards him and Syrus was glad for his elven reflexes. “Give me your sword!” Holding Anael and Silivren in one arm he flung his sword at Ainu, trusting his husband to catch it without injuring him.

Ainu’s hand flew up and a grin spread across his face as he turned towards the dark haired prince in all his naked glory. He unsheathed the sword and shot forward knocking Cortax off his horse and inflicting a deep cut into his left arm.

“Aren’t you going to defend yourself?” Cortax pulled himself up and drew his own sword. With a vicious cry he attacked Ainu but the attack was aptly blocked by the curved sword. He really didn’t like the even wider grin that graced the usually so serene face. “My turn.”

With a satisfaction of spending too many days and nights being bullied by Cortax, Ainu drove him backwards, every attack hitting Cortax and causing cuts on his body, the elven blade slicing through the leather arm protectors easily. Soon Cortax was breathing hard and with a quick sweep of his leg, Ainu took Cortax’s legs out from under him and pinned the sword against his neck.

“You fall. Go back to your kingdom and never come back. And if you ever, ever come near my family again I will personally slice you open and hang you up by your intestines from a tree!” He moved away and turned around smiling up at Syrus.

A swishing noise caught his already heightened sense and he swung round, the sword making a graceful arc as it followed Ainu’s body movement and sliced clean through Cortax’s neck. The look of utter surprise would be constantly edged on his face as the dagger dropped out of his hand and he fell to the ground lifelessly.

There was a silence and then the hungry wail of the twins cut through it.

“You should put something on Ainu and I think the little ones need something to eat.” Ainu blinked at his husband and then started to laugh as he fell forward into Syrus’ secure arms.
