Laurent's arms winding around his neck. Damen rolled over him, body fitting against body. The sheet slipped away from them. Slow rocking began to turn kissing into something else.
There was a knock at the door.
'Come in,' said Laurent, turning his head towards the sound.
Damen said, 'Laurent,' shocked and on full display as the door swung open. Pallas entered. Laurent greeted him with no self-consciousness at all.

Damen looked at Laurent, who was now lying half on his side, his blond hair a little mussed, eyes full of teasing light.
Sweet and simple in the morning, Laurent's beauty was heart-stopping.

How can you trust me, after what your own brother did to you?'
'Because he was false, said Damen, 'and you are true. I have never known a truer man. He said, into the stillness, 'I think if I gave you my heart, you would treat it tenderly.'
'When you make love to me like that, I can't think.' Laurent said.
'Don't think, said Damen.

Laurent said, 'If you're asking, did I fuck him, the answer is, yes.'
'I think we both know you weren't the one fucking him. You were on your back with your legs in the air. He hasn't changed that much.'

PERRA!!😩 como la odio

Laurent flushed, hard, the change in colour startling.
'I see. Thank you for—' He could see Laurent taste the edges of the statement. '—resisting my advances.'
'I miss you too, he said. 'I'm jealous of Isander.'
'Isander's a slave.'
'I was a slave.'
The moment ached. Laurent met his gaze, his eyes too clear.
'You were never a slave, Damianos. You were born to rule, as I was.'

'You've sent riders to announce your
plans?' said Laurent.
"This is the Akielon way,' said Makedon, as he might to a favoured nephew a bit slow at learning.
