Sorcerer's Lover by Shawn Lane
This is only a short story, a sexy romp in fancy dress, or better naked, since the two main heroes are mostly in bed than not. Warin is a sorcerer but this time not even his magical power can help him, his sister was kidnapped and he has to pay the ransom. Being a poor sorcerer, a mix between a bandit and a rogue, the only solution he finds is to himself kidnap another person, and the chosen prey is a sad prince. Benedict is the beloved bastard son of a king, but he is not happy; his father doesn't take him in captivity, but he is so worried about the danger around his son, that it almost the same. Benedict has no chance to be what he really wants to be and to love who he wants, another man. Warin met him an year before, he stole an intimate encounter with the prince in a dark corner of the palace and then, like a good rogue, he flies away, leaving the sad prince even sadder than before.
Now that Warin has Benedict all for himself for a few day, there no idea in Warin's mind to behave like a honored man, he has every intention to debauch once for all the prince... only that the prince is not at all against the idea. Moreover, he is a willing participant in his debauching.
The real plot of the story, the kidnapping of Warin's sister and the one of Benedict is soon forgotten in favor of the romp between the sheets of the two men. Actually sometime it seems that the real reason for Warin to kidnap Benedict is not a ransom, or at least not a ransom in gold... the treasure that Warin wants, and that he steals is of a more physical nature, and Benedict has no regret in giving it away: Benedict is like the princess in the tower who, instead of repel the dangerous man, throws down a rope from the window for the dashing and dangerous rogue to have an easiest access to his room.
