Robert and Cecil a Tudor romance

It was several weeks later and Cecil had been summoned by the King to Greenwich. He left mid afternoon and told Robert to be on his guard. Robert played for the Queen and her ladies till evening and then with his two guard escort returned to his quarters. Cecil would not be returning till early the next day.

Robert was feeling tired so locked his door and started to get undress he was down to just hose and codpiece when a knock came on the door. He went over to the door and shouted through asking who was there, a voice replied an urgent message from the Queen. Robert reached for the key and turned it slowly , the room was dark except for the ligt of one candle. He opened the door hoping to see who was there, but before he could the door burst open and Robert was thrown to the floor. the door slammed and the key was turned in the lock. Robert started to rise from the floor, but before he could he felt his hose ripped off and his codpiece leaving him naked. The assailant picked him up and threw him on the bed, he felt his legs spread and a searing pain followed as he felt like his arse was being ripped open, he was pushed face down into the bed so he could not see who it was. The assailant shoved his cock deeper into the lad, and Robert experienced pain like hed never felt before it felt like his insides were on fire, then the guy flipped Robert over his cock still deep in the lad, he grabbed Roberts buttocks and lifted his legs, His nails dug into the lads cheeks and it was only now Robert saw in the dim light who his assailant was. It was Rich and there was no one this time to help him. Rich started to pump his cock into the lad, Robert was in terrible pain searing and burning him inside, he begged Rich to stop but his pleas went unheeded. Rich continued to thrust deep into Robert and after what seemed like hours he felt Rich stiffen and warm liquid thrust into his burning passage. Rich pulled out and threw the lad to the floor, and left.

Robert lay there not daring to move as he was in so much pain, he could feel liquid running from him, but dared not touch as his thighs and cheeks hurt that much from Richs treatment of him. Robert started to sob uncontrollably, and went through a series of emotions. Anger at being duped to open the door so easily, Fear that Rich had permanently damaged him inside. He lay there naked for sometime to sore to move, still feeling something running from him. At last he reached on to the table and pulled off the cloth and pressed it between his legs, he looked at it and it was stained with a mix of Richs sperm and blood. Robert panicked and tried to rise but his legs were bruised and he was shaking like jelly. He crawled to the bed and using the turned pillar eased himself up to standing, he felt the liquid running down his legs, and with a big push struggled onto the bed and collapsed.

Robert awoke as Dawn light seeped through the windows as with all that happened Robert hadn't closed the curtains. He hoped it had all been a nightmare, but the pain in his thighs cheeks and inside told him it wasn't. He slipped back into unconsciousness and was not aware of someone entering the room. It was Cecil returned from Greenwich, he noticed the lad sprawled naked on the bed , and his torn hose and codpiece lying where Rich had thrown them. Cecil went straight to the lad and saw the blood stained counterpane and knew immediately what had happened. He took the lad in his arms and hugged the naked bruised body of his boy. Robert saw Cecil and burst into tears, Cecil went straight to a cupboard and took out some linen and a pot of salve and gentle putting a finger inside the linen he put the salve on it. Holding the lad gently and telling him to relax he inserted the salve soaked linen into the lads bruised orifice, Robert winced but soon the Salve was doing its work and eased the burning, Cecil lifted the lads legs and was relieved to see that the blood was coming from a small cut at the entrance and there appeared to be no internal damage to the lad. He covered the lad with a blanket as the lad had started to shake with all that had happened . They talked, but Cecil did not question the lad on what had happened. he knew he would tell him when he was ready to.

Cecil told Robert that a special dinner was being given for Chapuy the Spanish ambassador and the Queen had summoned Robert to play for him and the assembled Ambassadors and their wives, Robert said he did not feel he could stand up so with Cecil help he got him on to his feet, he was sore and a bit wobbly but stood, Cecil sat him in a chair and went to the cupboard and got out gold and red Hose and red and cloth of gold tunic for the lad, and a fresh codpiece. He dressed the lad hugging him and talking to him about the music the queen has asked for, so as to take the lads mind of all that had happened. Cecil soaked some more linen and inserted it keeping it in place with the codpiece strap, Robert felt more comfortable inside after this. and was able to take a few wobbly steps. Cecil dressed himself in cloth of gold and then attached the cipher of the King and Queen onto Roberts tunic. He held 'Robert close as they walked along together to the banqueting hall. Robert felt very groggy but the salve was helping him, he placed the music on the stand and checked that all was in order. Cecil noticed Rich with a group of lords at the far end of the banqueting hall, and wondered how Robert would cope with Rich being there. Cecil suddenly had an idea, he told Robert to wait in the antechamber till all were gathered, and left him and made his way to the Queens apartments. He was greeted by Lady Parr and he explained he had to see the Queen urgently. She showed him through and tactfully explained to her without mentioning what had happened that Robert would find it awkward with Rich present. Leave it to me said the Queen and wait here you and Chapuy can escort me into the Hall as his majesty is delayed in Greenwich on matters of state.

The time came for everyone to gather in the Hall, Robert watched as the Ambassadors and their ladies entered and took their places on each side of the Hall. Sir Richard Rich was at the bottom of the Hall talking when Lady Parr entered resplendent in a black velvet dress glittering and sparkling with jewels, Robert noticed she was carrying a scroll with a coronet as the lid, she went right up to Sir Richard and said something to him, he bowed took the scroll and left, looking aggrieved that he was going to miss the feast. Robert breathed a sigh of relief, as he saw Rich go down the stairs to horse. He watched him ride away with the scroll in his saddlebag.

He was brought back as the fanfare sounded and the Queen appeared at the end of the Hall, the Ambassadors bowed and their ladies sank into deep Obeisance, Robert eyes lit up as he saw Chapuy on the Queens right hand and Cecil on her left, he looked superb in his cloth of gold tunic and was all smiles to the assembled crowd. Behind them came the Princesses Mary and Elizabeth, flanking their younger brother Edward , they were followed by Lady Parr and the four chief ladies of the court. They made their way to the long top table a place on the Queens left had been hastily placed for Cecil. The Queen sat and everyone rose and took their places on the other tables, this was Roberts signal to approach the Queen, he was still a bit wobbly from his ordeal, but the fact that all eyes were on him as he approached helped him no end. The Queen rose and beckoned him forward, Robert bowed and approached, Cecil winked at him and has instructed passed a velvet box to the Queen, Lady Parr rose and came to Robert and received the box and opened it inside was a beautiful enamelled cipher of H and K and a large ostrich plume attached by a ruby. Lady Parr attached it to Roberts hat and placed it on his head. Robert bowed and walked backwards to his stand. The luncheon was a great success and Roberts playing was praised by all.

After everyone had left Cecil walked with Robert back to their quarters, Robert was bursting to ask Cecil where Rich had gone and what was the scroll Lady Parr had given him. As soon as they got back, Cecil poured a glass of wine and they sat and Cecil explained, he told the Queen that Rich made you nervous, and with him present you would not play your best, so she decided to send him to the King with a Scroll. Robert wondered why Cecil had a smirk on his face and he explained, the scroll that looked so important just contained the monthly accounts, the King would be puzzled why such a petty thing had been delivered to Greenwich by Sir Richard. Robert laughed, Lady Parr of course was in on it too, but no one knew the real reason. Now come over here and once again he gently bathed the lads orifice and put a fresh linen pad he examined the cut and saw it was healing nicely, no fun for you my lad he said jokingly, to Robert and tenderly undressed him and the two got naked into bed, Robert feeling safe in Cecils arms once again. Plans must be made to protect you so he never gets you again, said Cecil, you are mine forever and I will protect you as best I can.
