Ferris couldn’t sleep. At least his ID and wristcom had been waiting for him at the hotel, returned by an honest citizen, so he could get into his room. He kept pacing around his room, replaying their conversation over and over. If he hadn’t thought King had someone in there with him next door, he would have considered waking him up to talk to him about it.

Daniel had never felt that aroused in his life, when he had kissed and held him in the stealth pod. If only they had been able to meet and fall for each other without all the games and deceit, although of course, without that they would never have met at all. And now Peters had lost interest in him, two years was too long.

His door chimed softly as King flashed his ID at it. “I couldn’t sleep with all the pacing going on in here,” he explained, with a smile of concern. “It didn’t work out then? Between you two?”

“Come in Daniel, sorry I woke you. Help yourself to a drink if you want one. I’m feeling really confused.” He ran his fingers through his hair. “First he tells me I was the one who brought him out, that he wasn’t faking it after all, and then he just stops. So I think, he blames me for not listening two years ago when he wanted to explain to me so I apologise and then he gets really angry with me and basically tells me to fuck off. So here I am, back here going round and round in a circle.”

King kept his eyes on him as he poured himself a glass of brandy and sat down in one of the two armchairs.

“Tell me exactly what he said, when he got angry.”

“He said, ‘I don’t want your damned apology,’ and do you know, before that, I was actually stupid enough to think he was going to kiss me?” He was still pacing.

King looked at him over his glass. “I think I might know what the problem is,” he offered.

“Go on.”

“He wanted you to kiss him, not apologise.”

“You’re kidding, right?”

“The man’s a Colonel, isn’t he?”

“Yes, he is. God it was bad enough when he was a major!” Suddenly a light went on. “You think that’s the problem. You think he won’t make a pass at me because I’m a Lieutenant?”

“I think that is exactly the problem. Given the history between you, and your very public vow never to approach any man under your command, there is no way in hell that man is going to make the first move. I think he went as far as he felt he could by telling you he was attracted to you two years ago. Then he threw the ball to you hoping for some response and you blew it by giving him an apology instead of making a move on him.” King drained his glass and poured himself another.

“You think so?” Ferris was uncertain. “He’s a Colonel for god’s sake and at least six years older than me.
