you know of my past, cardinal.
do not pretend that you did not have vipers whispering in your ear.

As I said when you caught me out, she was of no further use to me.
I keep my own counsel these days and that of God.

that does not mean she did not tell you much before you threw her aside.
She didn't. I have my own ways of acquiring information.
Oh.
[ The understanding shudders through him, his pupils big and black in his bright blue eyes. His smile is a sly one, teasing as he drags his fingertips over Erik's stomach. ]
I used to think about it, you know. [ His voice is a hum, low and insistent. ] When you and I were on the road. I thought a great many things. How I wanted to drag you into the back of that estate car. Or suck you off in the room of that club. I would have gone to my knees in any of those terrible motel rooms if you'd only asked [ Brightly. ] You were very distracting.

Tonight will be full of many things.
[ Rafa holds William's gaze, and smiles at it. His drink this time is longer, and then he taps the boy's shoulder. ]
Go and tell your master the I require the best room. And privacy, for my friend and I. He would be wise to abide by that.
[ The boy, who seems somewhat relieved to get away, rushes off. Then Rafa leans forward, across the table, towards William. ]
We do not have to stay here now. We could roam the city and return here when you are ready. I want...
[ He tilts his head, smiling. ]
...I want to make you happy, William. Discomfort is not something I seek, at least not from you.

thievery, blackmail, murder?

[ Leave him alone, he has to sleep off the wine on these stairs. ]

I have this radical invention.
They're called ears.

[ There is much in that gaze. William finds himself once more enrapt with the young king, his blood stirring in his veins. He barely even acknowledges the serving boy's quick escape, instead he only smiles. ]
No. You wished to come, I would not deny you.
[ Besides, there is something to be said about the freedom to drink in good company. Hagan can be cold in its streets, the spaces too big. He doesn't want more between them. ]
I'm am just afraid it is not as exotic as you are used to.

[ The groan that falls from him isn't dignified, but then when is he ever around his friend? ]
Oh, you sod. Now I'm picturing it. [ Erik, statuesque and damp, his long elegant fingers wrapped around his cock. Charles on the other side of the door and oblivious. He'd tried so hard in the beginning to keep out the other man's mind. He hadn't wanted to scare him off.
Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on Erik's stance, Charles has no such qualms now. In fact he is quite eager in slipping into his thoughts to show him just how this new bit of information makes him feel. ]

You would be surprised what people talk about when they think no one - or no one important - is listening in.
