Palace: At Your Service.

(This takes place the day after Elijah moves up to Royal, also the day after Orlando and Jake run into each other.)

Sitting back at his ease in the booth, booted feet crossed at the ankles, Marton sipped at his beer and waited for Jake to arrive.


His mood was guarded, as were his thoughts and expressions, carefully so, for he wasn't prepared to trust his son, not with what he knew.

((Backdated to before Jake has lunch with Marton, BEFORE he tells Lij he's cleared for Royal.))

Orlando wandered up the corridor, checking his clipboard to see how many more people he had to find. Only a few thousand more, he thought, chuckling.

Jake walked around the corner from Elijah's room and stopped, grinning. ‘Well isn't that interesting... been wondering when I'd run into him...’ Stapling an excited and sincere smile on his face, he called out "Orli? Is that you?"

Orli looked up at his name, and plastered on the sweetest smile he could manage. "Jake?!" he beamed.

Elijah threw his head back against the pillow, the cords in his neck standing out as he arched and cried out. He felt the blood rush heat of his orgasm surge through him. The liquid pulse of his release was hot and thick between their bodies.

He grasped onto Jake’s upper arms, digging his fingers into the tensed muscles as Jake tightened and arched and Elijah felt the phantom beat and flutter deep inside. He looked up into Jake’s lust-darkened eyes as they flew wide and his heart skittered and thudded in his chest, a deep hard knock that shook him at the sight of Jake above him, looming demon strong yet godlike in his power to give Elijah pleasure.

Dear Father,

Thank you for your oh-so-fuckingly- generous offer of the Green Suite. I have decided to take you up on this, if the offer still stands. I have been staying with my lover friend since my arrival, but.....honestly. How would it look for a *prince* to be seen in the lower levels? Though I know you don't care about things like that, but I do have a reputation to keep up.

And my Lij friend....He deserves better too.....I'd like to get clearance for him to at least come visit me. You probably don't even know him yet, but I think you'll like him. Maybe one day we can all three have lunch. This is the start of my new life - my family will see that I've changed, and we can all be close again, just like when I was young and stupid and had no idea what was really at stake.

I love you father, and am so glad to be back among my family.

Love,
Jake

(This takes place sometime after the party... Jake is messaging Sean from one of the public units on the wall...)

Hey, Uncle Sean!

Sorry about that, but I couldn't resist.  It's been so long since the last time I saw you... hope you're doing well.  As for me, I'm back at Palace!  Just decided to visit on a whim, and now I'm here- but I need a small favor from you...

I didn't remember to bring my bracelets with me, (stupid, right?) and now I'm wandering around confined to the lower levels, feeling like a bit of an idiot.  Any chance you could help me our a little?  I need a com too... been using the public system, as you can tell from this message.

I'll be checking every couple of hours to see if you've had a chance to reply to this post.  And thanks in advance Sean... you're a good guy.

Sincerely,

Jake.
