Duty and Desire //He is like the moonlight on snow, pale and kissed golden by the hidden sun.// His duty was to keep the King alive and Milliardo needed warmth. Beneath his hands so industriously caressing silken skin … He was rubbing life into the cold flesh, bringing back the warmth of life, not exploiting this opportunity. //The scent of him is unique. There is the hint of savoury herbs and subtle spices blended with something almost otherworldly. Like fine summer wine. He might be a Lord of the Fey come in a dream to tantalise and fade away with the dawn.// He pressed his hands to the rising curve of firm buttocks and resisted the urge to moan and kneed that warming inviting flesh. //The touch of him is like the richest of silks, the most luxurious of satins and the plushest velvet the world could offer.// He peeked over the King’s body. Maxwell seemed almost asleep, pressed close under the blanket but he could see the faintest glint of an open eye. Was Maxwell watching him? He lowered his head carefully, pressing his forehead against the shimmering fall of hair and pressed his lips to the broad back certain no one could see. After a moment his tongue darted out and he tasted. //Salt to season, after tones of mellow wine, the rarest of fruits, the sweetness of treats upon my tongue.// No one could see. No one would know. Maxwell and the King himself shielded him from the sight of Yuy who, he had noted, seemed to be dozing by the fire. //I would love you for each day that blooms, each night that enshrouds the land.// He pressed his forehead into that cascade of white gold darkened by the fire’s glow. //I would love you in the dawning and at the rising of the sun, at the shadowless world of noon and within the shadowed realm of night. // What was he to do? It had been bearable to stand back and watch before he had had the opportunity to touch, to caress, to savour the scent and taste of him. How could he now bear to stand back and keep his distance? //I would love you but to do so I must win you. There will be many who seek to court you … or to have you court them. They will fawn over you, make it clear to everyone they are available and that you could do no better than them. I am not such an exhibitionist. My ancestors were Emperors and Princes, warriors and poets. I am none of these things. I am a scholar who once was a killer. Could you love such as me?// Perhaps he should decide if he could stand to see day after day the one he desired above all others stand at the side of some simpering female who did not love the man, only the power. //Could I stand aside and have another sample the perfection that is you? // End |
