Geneva, Switzerland

-1-

After boarding the coach for the long journey to Geneva, Henry and Gerhard realized that they were the only two passengers aboard.  They sat facing each other. There was room for two others, and each hoped that they would remain alone.  The giant of a man smiled at Henry, and offered him his hand in friendship.

“My name is Gerhard,” he said.  “I’m from Livania.”

Livania was an equally small, landlocked kingdom, which shared a border with Mont Bella. 

Henry took his hand.  “My name is William.  Please call me Willie.  I’m from Mont Bella.  We’re neighbors,” he said. 

“So we are,” Gerhard smiled. 

His smile was sociable and friendly, and Henry realized that when he wasn’t brooding, Gerhard was very good looking.  In fact, except for his bulk, he bore a small resemblance to Willie and him.

Gerhard removed his jacket and his waistcoat.  “It’s quite warm in here,” he said.  “You should get comfortable.  We have a long ride ahead of us.”

“I’m going to Geneva,” Henry said.  “Are you going there also, or are you disembarking along the way?”

“I’m going all the way also.”

“And after that?” Henry asked.

“I don’t know.  I’ll have to wait and see.”

A bolt of lightning struck Henry.  “You’re following me, aren’t you?” he asked.  He sounded slightly angry.

“Yes, I am, but don’t worry.  I won’t interfere with your journey.”

“Why?” Henry asked.  “And who’s paying you to do so?”  Henry was obviously very upset, but he tried to remain calm.

“Relax, Willie.  I mean you no harm.  Just the opposite.  King Henry asked me to travel with you, and see to your safety.  I’m doing it as a favor.  Nobody is paying me.”

“What do you mean that you’re doing it as a favor?  Why would you not demand to be paid?”

“We’ve never met, Willie, but your father and my father were first cousins.  We’re second cousins, and that’s what family does for each other.  About two weeks before you were due to embark upon your odyssey, King Henry contacted me.  He had heard about my size, and he did indeed offer to pay me, if I would protect you.  When I realized that I wanted to make this trip even more than you did, I jumped at the chance.  At first, I believed that I could remain incognito, but it became too awkward a situation.  I reckoned that so long as you suspected that I was following you, I might as well tell the truth.”

Henry grabbed Gerhard’s hand.  “Yes, Cousin,” he said.  “It would be lonely travelling alone.  I’m happy for the company.”

“I have more to tell you.  Your brother revealed to me your switch in identity.  Not only does he want to protect his brother, he wants to protect his sovereign.  I find it very loyal, but amusing at the same time.  I know that you’re Henry, but I promise not to reveal your identity, if you won’t reveal that I’m a prince.”

“Of course not.  Let’s just say that we are two student cousins making the grand tour.”

“That sounds good to me,” Gerhard said.

The cousins were still holding hands, and Gerhard squeezed harder.  Suddenly, Henry broke out laughing.

“What?” Gerhard asked.

“I just realized,” Henry said, “I’m a king and you’re a prince, you’ll have to obey me, and do whatever I ask of you.”

Now, Gerhard laughed.  “I’ll do whatever you ask of me, Willie, just like the innkeeper in Vienna.” he said.  Then he winked at Henry, leaving no doubt what he had in mind.

“I think,” Henry said, “since we are cousins, we will only take one room in the future, at whatever inn we have an overnight stay.”

“That’s not a problem at all, Willie,” Gerhard smiled.

About two hours after that, the coach pulled into a lovely roadside inn.  The coachman opened the door, and assisted the two travelers to step out.

“Why did we stop?” Henry asked.

“Yes,” Gerhard added, “it’s too early for dinner and bedtime.”

“Of course, it is,” the coachman said.  “We’re stopping for a bite to eat, and to give you two men a chance to use the chamber pots.”

Henry and Gerhard felt foolish, but it didn’t stop them from ordering a hearty and filling lunch.  When they went to pay, the coachman informed them that all meals along the way, and their sleeping accommodations, were part of their fares.  Neither royal was aware of it.  They were not in the habit of paying for food or accommodations anyhow, but they thought nothing about paying for room and board in Vienna, They were incognito, and on their own then. They also paid for boarding their horses.  It was a pleasure for them to enjoy the rest of the trip with their room and board fully prepaid.

After they used the chamber pots, the coachman said they would not be leaving for another half hour.  He advised them to stretch their legs, and walk around a bit.

Things were quite different in the coach, during the afternoon segment of their first day on the road.  The two cousins sat together, and fondled each other.  They fought hard not to cum, in anticipation of the night which lay ahead.

When they got to the inn for the evening meal, they discovered that the transportation company had provided two rooms.

“Where are you sleeping?”  Henry asked Hans, the coachman.

“Well, I must see to the horses.  I usually sleep on the hay in the barn.”

“Not this trip,” Gerhard said.  “Willie and I are cousins.  We’ll only be using one room.  You can use the other.”

“Yes,” Henry said, “after you brush down and tether the horses, join us in the inn for a tankard of ale.”

“That’s very generous of you gentlemen,” Hans said.  “Perhaps I can also join you in your room for an hour or two.”

“There is no doubt,” Gerhard said, “that it can be arranged.”

“That’s good to hear,” Hans said, “because I’ll be your coachman for the whole trip.  Tomorrow night, we’ll get a new coach, and fresh horses.  The horses which served us so gallantly today, and will again tomorrow, will be retired for a day’s rest.  The coach will be thoroughly cleaned for future use.”

Henry and Gerhard had been unaware that rooms and meals were included in their fare.  They were now learning how efficient the coach company was.  They seemed to have anticipated all the needs of the coachman, his passengers, and even the horses.  They couldn’t have been more pleased.

*****

None of the three men had ever participated in a threesome before.  They dreamed up all kinds of variations and permutations, all of which was standard activity for three men.  However, they each believed that they were inventing new activity for the occasion.

Henry ordered that a basin of hot, soapy water be brought to their room, and they bathed their cocks and asses.  After their baths, they sucked, rimmed, and then fucked.  Hans and Henry were leery about taking Gerhard’s monster cock into their asses, but they persevered, and the feat was accomplished.  The highlight for them was when Hans fucked Gerhard in the missionary position, and Henry fucked Hans doggie style at the same time.  It was a glorious evening, but all good things come to an end.

All during their sexual activity, Hans kept calling his passengers, “Sir.”  They begged him to call them Willie and Gerhard, even during their daytime travels.  While they were all fornicating, there was room on the bed, but when they tried to spread out, Gerhard’s bulk took up most of the bed.  There was hardly room for his cousin.  Henry apologized to Hans, and had to send him to the unused room to sleep.  Hans didn’t care.  This act of kindness by his passengers, was luxurious to him.

Before he left them, he requested that they enjoy an early breakfast. 

“In order to stay on schedule,” he informed them, “we need to leave by nine o’clock tomorrow morning at the latest.”

“That’s not a problem,” Gerhard spoke for Henry and himself.

Alone in bed, in order to make room, the cousins had to sleep wrapped up in each other’s arms.  This act of intimacy started them off on another round of love making.  Neither royal got much sleep, but they agreed that they could snooze on the long coach ride the next day.

They finally fell asleep about three in the morning.  They were awakened by Hans as dawn was breaking.  The cousins thought he was waking them to get dressed and have breakfast.  Instead, he had bad news.

“Look out the window gentlemen.  It’s raining buckets of water, and it doesn’t look like it will clear anytime soon.  The roads will be too muddy, and too rutted, for the horses to maneuver.  I suggest, you get dressed and come for breakfast.  We’re stuck here for a while.  After breakfast we’ll have to figure out what to do to pass the time.”

He smiled at his two passengers and left the room.

They had non-stop sex all day, resting only for meals.  Finally, the pounding rain let up, and Hans announced that they were good to go the following morning.  Timewise they would be on schedule, but a day late.

*****

Two days later, they arrived in Geneva at mid-morning.  The inn was just as charming as the others had been.  All Henry and Gerhard had with them, were two saddlebags each.  At the beginning of their journey, they believed that the entire odyssey would be on their own horses, but their circumstances changed.

The innkeeper brought the saddle bags to the two rooms assigned to them.  Then Hans, put two of the bags from one room into the other. 

“What are your plans for today, Hans?” Henry asked.

“Well, I’m going to exchange the coach and horses.  I leave for the return trip at dawn tomorrow.  I have four passengers booked.  Unfortunately, for me, it’s two married couples.  They are all here at the inn for tonight, so we can get an early start.  While I’m trying to sleep on the hay in the barn, I’ll dream of you two gentlemen.”

“Where’s your home?” Gerhard asked.

“Vienna,” Hans said simply. 

“Then why don’t you sleep in our unoccupied room, tonight?”

“Thank you once again,” Hans said with a big smile.  “How would you like me to take you sightseeing this afternoon in the clean coach, and with the fresh horses?”

“That would be wonderful,” Henry said.  “Due to our late arrival, we’re cutting our stay in Geneva by one day.  We are already scheduled to board the coach to Paris, which we chartered at the same time as we arranged for the coaches to Geneva.”

They didn’t have much time for sightseeing that afternoon, so Hans took them to the factory where the finest of clocks and watches were manufactured.  By the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Swiss had already established a reputation for making the finest time pieces in the world. 

After leaving the watch and clock makers, the three men returned to the inn for dinner, and another night of lustful sex.  Hans left in the morning amidst much hugs and kisses.

Henry and Gerhard did more sightseeing alone in the next two days on their own, and then the royals left for Paris.

They began to debate, whether after Paris, they should take a long trip south to Rome, or travel on to London.  They agreed that they would decide in Paris.  They had made no further travel bookings beyond Paris, and were free to spend as much time in France as suited them.

They left early the next morning with a new coachman, fresh horses, and an almost sterile coach.  They were both exceptionally excited about visiting Paris.  Neither had ever been there, but they had heard plenty of exciting stories about the city, and they couldn’t wait to sample its pleasures.
