Louis XIV of France: The Sun King

Louis XIV had ruled as King of France for 72 years and 110 days, and to this day, he holds the record as the longest-reigning monarch in history. Known as Le Roi Soleil ('the Sun King'), he fervently believed in the concept of the 'divine right' of kings and is remembered for ruling as an absolute monarch. His long reign saw several wars and crises, such as the Fronde, the Nine Years' War, and the War of the Spanish Succession. It also saw the construction of the glorious Palace of Versailles, the expansion of France's colonial empire, and the emergence of France as the dominant military, economic, and cultural power in Europe. Louis XIV was arguably one of the most important rulers in European history, who shaped the destiny of the continent heading into the 18th century.

James runs on tired legs after practice from the soccer locker rooms to the football locker room. It’s empty except for one player.

James smiles dopily, “Hi,” he says softly, still catching his breath. Kingsley steps forward and closes the gap between them.

Kingsley groans softly into the kiss and James licks the seam of his lips. Their tongues fight for dominance until James pushes a muscular thigh between Kingsley’s legs.

A low moan escapes Kingsley’s mouth and he breaks the kiss, throwing his head back with pleasure, “fuck, baby.” He starts grinding on James’ leg and James takes the opportunity to work a mark into the skin of his neck.

“Can you get off like this?” James mutters against his skin.

“Mhm,” Kingsley hums in between soft gasps.

Kingsley continues to grind against James’ thigh, trying to come as quickly as possible, knowing there isn’t much time before his game. Kingsley reaches down and slides his hand under James’ boxers and strokes him rapidly. James whimpers against Kingsley’s neck, “So good, just like that.”

They both come a minute later and before he can think, James is taking Kingsley’s messy fingers into his mouth to clean them off. Then, he drops to his knees and licks his tip clean as well before helping him back into his pants.

Kingsley runs his fingers gently through James hair as he looks down at him on his knees. “Fuck, you’re so pretty like this, love.”

James smiles up at him lovingly. “Kick some ass today, yeah?”

“My darling kings, welcome...” said the hag towering over the two man...
