Chapter Seven

Well. Arthur’s reasoning mind reappeared little by little. Now you’ve gone and done it.

He’d fucked Hugh. Fucked him from top to bottom, start to finish and practically inside out. And even though he was still inside the man, even though he was sweating and panting as if he’d run a marathon, all he wanted was more.

Not even more fucking, although he wouldn’t say no to that as soon as he and Hugh had recovered. More of everything, that was it; more of Hugh talking, laughing, flirting, bickering, everything.

All of Hugh, forever.

It was a dream far more ambitious than any Arthur had dared to have before. And for some reason, even though the usual voices in his head were busily telling him that it was the most stupid thing they’d ever heard, the dream still persisted.

Enough. Hugh would be getting uncomfortable, pressed against the wall like this. Arthur loosened his grip on Hugh’s chest and hip, gritting his teeth as he withdrew.

This part normally felt sordid, almost sad. But this time, with Hugh, it simply felt new, as if it had been the very first time, with all its attendant fears and embarrassments, and now came the silly, human part where he and Hugh were just two people rather than one being, having to remember who each of them were without the other.

I don’t want to remember who I am without you. Arthur glared at the man’s back for a moment, irrationally annoyed that he had to be one person again. Even if it’s only for a moment.

Hugh didn’t appear to be battling the same internal storm. If anything, he seemed as tranquil as he usually did—bar a certain satisfaction on his face that Arthur sincerely hoped he’d caused. He smiled at Arthur as he turned around, a brief but sunny moment, then immediately leaned down to pick up his discarded clothes.

Fine. Arthur turned and walked to the opposite corner of the room, sweeping his clothes up off the floor as he moved. Damn it.

It wasn’t as if he’d expected Hugh to immediately pull him back for another kiss. He’d hoped for that, but he’d begun to hope for stupid things without any encouragement. Arthur shook his head to himself with a harsh smile as he made a pile of his clothes, putting them on one by one.

Perhaps Hugh usually wanted to be left alone when doing this sort of thing. Every man had his own routine after a certain number of encounters, after all. Arthur kept his back turned for a little while, listening to Hugh pick up his shirt and rearrange his other garments, before giving in and glancing at the man.

Hugh looked back at him. He gave a slight, embarrassed smile, his cravat hanging loosely in his hands, then turned to the mirror and began to wrap the cravat around his neck.

Arthur put down his waistcoat. He walked quickly and silently over the floorboards, gave Hugh a quick but definite kiss on the back of his neck
