"Good. Now a little deeper, lad," his master told him.
The young man gulped. His eyes moistened with the effort and his throat twitched, unaccustomed to the pressure on the back of his tongue.
"Easy, lad," his master said. "Just a little more."
The young man's hands tightened on the edge of the shield where he was kneeling, holding himself in place. His breath came raggedly through his nose as he took his master's manhood deep in his mouth. The nut of flesh pressing against his gullet swelled. A tear ran down his cheek as he held firm.
His master sighed in satisfaction. "Good, it is done." He withdrew from the young man's mouth with a dull pop.
The young man's mouth was empty, left only with the taste of rough soap and a salty slipperiness.
"Now the last," his master said. He stepped around and knelt behind the young man, raising the tail of his smock. Warm, rough hands parted the cheeks of his rump. "Clean. Well done." A finger thick with grease rubbed at the center. "Once more, now." The older man cleared his throat. "Wilt thou serve as my squire, faithfully aiding me your knight master, till death or the word of myself or our Majesty the Queen release thee?"
The young man hesitated, his head swimming with fatigue after his all-night vigil in the chill of the ruined chapel. But the mention of the Queen revived him. "I will," he said firmly.
"Then receive my lance, accept it as I accept you, squire."
The tip of his master's rod prodded him between the cheeks. The young man lowered his head and breathed slowly as he had been taught. He tried to push back upon the blunt point, but nothing was gained.
"No, lad, hold still. Push out at me, bear down and push OUT," his master said. "There, there, like that."
"Ah-ahhh!" The young man's voice betrayed him as his master's lance pierced his body. His breath caught. The intense stretching and pushing filled the world of his senses. His master paused until the young man was breathing again.
"I salute you with my lance, squire," his master said. "Honor only the worthy with yours."
"Yes. My. My lord," the young man panted out his reply.
Their breaths replaced words. The older man breathed steadily. The young man's ragged gasps slowed and deepened until he matched the rhythm of his master's breaths.
"Yes. Good, lad, good. Did you ever receive another lad thus?"
