This is a continuation, at long last, of my "Taming the Tsarevitch" story. I've decided to start up on it again, but this time I'm going to release each part as its own fully functioning story. Enjoy!

Nikolai would not admit to himself that he was afraid, but as ten o' clock ticked nearer, he couldn't stop himself from pacing nervously around his bedchamber. Maxim would arrive soon and Nikolai kept having second thoughts about what he would do when the man got here. Should he stand tall, try to duel him again? Perhaps he should remain majestically silent. He had almost decided to try to rationalize with Maxim, to use reasoned argument to convince him that this affair could not continue, when the door opened. Maxim strode in and said, "Hello Kolya."
"How dare you not identify yourself before entering my private rooms?" He glared at Maxim, fighting the urge to stammer and look down at the floor.
"I don't need to ask your permission princling," Maxim said calmly.
"Don't call me that!" Nikolai felt himself turning red.
"You seem to have forgotten about humility already," Maxim replied. "Come here." He crooked a finger at Nikolai, who was horrified to find that part of him was only too eager to obey. He stayed where he was.
"No," he said. "Get out of here Maxim. I don't want to see you again."
Maxim moved faster than Nikolai had ever seen a man move. He was suddenly standing so close to him that their chests almost touched. He reached down and grabbed the prince's cock through the thin cloth of his breeches. Nikolai cried out, his knees almost buckling. Maxim fondled the bulge at the prince's crotch thoughtfully for a moment and then he pushed Nikolai away. "You're already half-hard Kolya."
"It's your fault!" Nikolai almost wailed. He had stumbled and fallen to one knee when Maxim pushed him and he was horrified to find that he was now close to tears. "You did things to me! You bewitched me!"
"You know damn well that you wanted it," Maxim growled. "You want it again too, don't you?"
"No!" Nikolai cried, getting to his feet and backing away. "Get out of here!"
Maxim grabbed hold of his wrist and pulled him into an embrace. He stared down into the prince's face for a moment and Nikolai's breath caught in his throat. Then Maxim lowered his head and brought his lips down on Kolya's. His tongue drove deep inside of Nikolai's mouth, plundering him, claiming him, and he was powerless not to respond to it. His knees grew weak and Maxim had to hold him upright. He began to return the kiss, unsure of himself. Maxim groaned and pulled away. "Don't lie to me princling," he said, stroking Nikolai's cheek. "You've been craving this. You've been thinking about it all day, haven't you?"
It was true. Much as he would have like to deny it, Nikolai had indeed found himself yearning for the pleasure that Maxim had given him. There had been something thrilling in surrendering himself so completely. As much as he wanted to experience that abandonment again, he knew it was wrong. He was the future tsar of all the Russias. No one was higher than him, save his father, and the old man was dying. "No," he breathed, and he knew that Maxim would see it for the lie it was.
