#eructo

The time for the annual royal gala had arrived. The nobles throughout the kingdom all looked forward to this event, and Anna was no different. This was the first major celebration that Theo would be taking part in and he was equal parts excited and terrified.

A custom tailored suit had been made for him, which he had already donned. He was now waiting for Anna outside her quarters as she dressed in her gown. The door opened and Theo’s eyes went wide.

“My lady, you look... stunning.”

Anna smiled shyly.

“Sir Theo, the same should be said about you. You look incredibly handsome.”

Theo’s cheeks grew rosy as her gaze appreciatively raked him up and down. He held out an arm to her.

“Shall we?”

She took his arm, and the two of them made their way to the ballroom where the festivities were well underway.

~~~~~~~~~

A few hours into the gala, Anna was intensely missing Theo. She had been pulled away to network and socialize with other nobles, and Theo was far out of his element.

So he had made his way to the extravagant feast laid out buffet style on several long tables. This was a suitable way for him to keep himself busy.

He piled his plate high with delicious appetizers and a large glass of some type of sweet carbonated drink. He returned to the food table not long after, having polished off his first course.

Several platefuls and glasses later, he came to the realization that he may have gone a bit overboard. His stomach bubbled audibly, although thankfully the music masked the noise well enough. He hiccuped and raised a closed fist to his mouth, and then felt a hand on his shoulder. Anna had found her way to him, finally able to spend a quick moment with him.

“Sir Theo, are the festivities to your liking?”

He nodded.

“And you had the opportunity to try the feast?”

Theo’s cheeks puffed out as he fruitlessly attempted to hide the belch that growled behind his closed lips.

“I may have slightly overindulged with the rich spread of refreshments,” he said in a hushed tone.

Anna lightly brushed her hand over his cheek.

“When the event is finished, I will make sure you are comfortable. I will, um, assist in any way necessary.”

A rush of excitement burned through Theo at the prospect. Just the thought of his princess’s hands on him was enough to get his blood pumping. He watched as she made her way into the crowd and tried to rub his belly as subtly as possible.

~~~~~~~~~

Anna was growing tired of the festivities, and her mind was stuck on one particular thing. She just wanted to spend her evening lounging in bed, her knight beside her as she tended to him in every way she could. A sudden noise yanked her from her daydream.

A rich belch rang out through the ballroom, starting off strong and brassy before dipping down several octaves to a guttural rumble that echoed off the walls.

The culprit was easily identifiable. Theo gave a sheepish smile, his face glowing red. He stifled another lengthy burp behind his fist, but was unsuccessful at reducing the volume by any amount. The partygoers all stared at him with matching expressions of surprise, and Anna felt butterflies fluttering in her stomach at his bashful expression.

Mercifully, the next song started up and the crowd shifted their attention back to their dancing and mingling.

Theo’s face was burning by the time Anna reached his side and took his hand.

“My lady, I aAAAAOOOOUUUURRRPPP—ugh, I apologize for —uuurrrrp—that shameful display. I must admit, my ability to —BEEEEUUUUUURRRRPP— hold them back is —URRRRRRAAAAAPPP!”

Theo’s sentence was left unfinished, seeing as it was likely to be more gas than words he uttered next.

Anna’s arousal was hardly contained as she grabbed his wrist and practically dragged him from the ballroom.

~~~~~~~~~~

“Where are we going?”

This area of the castle had so far been unexplored by Theo. Anna led him by the hand along a secluded corridor, seemingly searching for a specific door. She stopped sharply when she reached it and ushered him inside.

“Guest room,” Anna explained. “We have some privacy here. Come, sit.”

Theo leaned back to unbuckle his trousers. The rich food and drink had done a number on him. He flopped back onto the bed and made a small noise of discomfort. His shoulders hitched as he desperately swallowed down a persistent pocket of air that was begging to be released.

“Sir Theo, why are you holding back?” Anna was unable to hide the mischievous gleam in her eye. “Let yourself be loud.”

Theo shifted uncomfortably.

“What if they hear? I am unsure of how well sound carries here.”

“These doors look thick enough to muffle the sound of even your eruptions. You will feel so much better afterwards....”

Anna straddled his lap and kissed him hard. Theo enthusiastically reciprocated, only to wince as she leaned on his stomach.

He broke the kiss and turned his head in record time to expel the belch that finally made its way out of him. The power of it took him by surprise, judging by the wide eyed look on his face. He froze and listened closely, waiting for someone to pound on the door and reprimand him. No such complaint was raised.

“That was so good,” Anna cooed. “Feels better, right?”

“Fuck, yeah, it does.” Theo’s stomach gurgled under her, and he gave a breathless laugh. “I’ve got a lot more in there.”

Anna gently rested her hands on his shoulders.

“Sir Theo, I wish for you to lose your inhibitions. I want to relieve your discomfort, and I will do what it takes to expel every bit of air from you.”

She slowly shifted her hips, gently grinding against him. He moaned, both from the strange seductiveness of her words and the feeling of her rubbing against his hardening cock.

The air was stuck at first, and Theo attempted a few small burps that did nothing to lessen the pressure. He grabbed at his stomach, giving it a small shake as he coaxed the air upwards.

Anna could tell it was working by the change in his expression. Theo opened his mouth wide, the notion of being quiet no longer taking any space in his mind. The air tumbled out of him as his eyes nearly rolled back with the pleasure of his release. 

Anna felt Theo’s cock give a hard throb under her. She responded with another slow thrust of her hips, the movement against him working up a series of desperate burps.

To Anna, her greatest privilege was to witness Theo in this vulnerable state, belching and panting and moaning. Candid and shameless, longing for relief and uncaring of how deliciously uncouth he behaves. 

Theo was breathing as though he was winded after his uncontrollable eruptions. He looked hazily at Anna, his expression equally as fitting on someone who had just concluded a spectacular orgasm.

Anna could spend all night here. At least, she wished she could. She knew she had to get back to the event and continue her rather boring duty of engaging with stuffy nobles. But her knight took priority first.

So, with another thrust, she softly pressed her hands to his middle and waited patiently. Her thighs tensed in anticipation. 

A truly spectacular belch roared out of Theo. Deep and full, it echoed off the walls of the room as it built in power the longer it went on. He met Anna’s eye, and his lips turned up into a cocky smirk as he burped. The relief it was giving him was clearly obvious, and he loved seeing her get so flustered. He took great pride in the fact he could turn her on to this degree, feeling her quiver on top of him as she gazed at him hungrily. It was a sight he could never grow tired of.

When that colossal burp finally trailed off, he gave a relieved moan, shutting his eyes and resting his head back. His shoulders were relaxed now, and he was starting to think that maybe he could go for another round of food. He may be just a knight, but right now he felt like royalty himself.

Theo reached up to tuck a strand of Anna’s hair behind her ear, then cupped her cheek with his palm. He pulled her in for a kiss, contentedly humming at the taste of her lips.

Anna jumped at the sudden sound of the chiming clock. Shit. They had been here longer than expected. She reluctantly stood up and Theo whined at her absence.

“Sir Theo, I regrettably must rejoin the festivities. Please take all the time you need... and I will be eagerly awaiting your return.”

Theo only nodded, his mind still a bit hazy. The look he was giving her sent a wave of rather aggressive butterflies through her stomach. His head was lightly tilted to the side, warmth glowing in his eyes as he studied her like a work of art. The flush still in his cheeks, hair tousled, and a gentle smile on his soft lips.
