    Summary

    To outsiders, Phainon is the Crown Prince's omega attendant, a courtesan whose only purpose is to fulfill his master's nightly needs. But behind closed doors, he is a caregiver, a manager, and a friend. At the heart of it all is Prince Mydeimos, the man Phainon has dedicated his life to. A man who will not touch him. A man Phainon has long accepted that he could never have.

    Phainon's devotion runs deep, but little does he know, so does Mydei's. And confronting it could spark a fire that Phainon had long thought extinguished.

    Summary

    Mydei first hears of Phainon’s past one night by the fire.

    On the outskirts of Okhema, a flask of ambrosia passes between them, the air heavy with silence. Liquor loosens Phainon’s lips and he speaks casually about destruction and loss and ruin. About a friend who ran with him through wheat fields he’ll never see again, and a mother who sang in a language no one speaks anymore.

    He laughs as he tells Mydei that he aches to go back home — to his friends, his family. He laughs and laughs between sips of wine, like none of it means anything.

    The end draws near. Mydei and Phainon find each other anyway.

    Summary

    Neuvillette has that calculative and assessing look to him. A meticulous nature that Wriothesley hungers for in a partner. Neuvillette seems thorough and slow to give in.

    Fuck, but there’s something wrong with Wriothesley. He must be tired. Shellshocked. A bit of both, to be this wanton for a man he has just met.

    - Wriothesley, a boxing coach, finds himself torn away from the BDSM scene by a past dominant's mishandling of their relationship. A year later, he is offered a dry bartending gig at The Palais, an exclusive BDSM club for those in high society. Neuvillette, a skilled shibari instructor by night and a lawyer by day, catches Wriothesley's eye. Could Neuvillette be the dominant Wriothesley has been searching for?

    Summary

    A bleak look crossed Wriothesley’s face and Neuvillette realized that he was being allowed to see such an expression. Though it caused something unidentifiable in him to ache like a physical pain, Neuvillette was honored to be allowed to see such a rare, fragile thing. “Because it is better to have him in my life in any capacity,” he said, “than not at all.”

    ---

    An outing to see an opera together turns into a discussion of love, of pain, and of doing anything for the one that means everything.
