    Summary

    “You accused me of treating this like a game. I am sorry if I’ve led you to believe that it is only a game—though I won't deny that part of it is.” Bren gives a disarming smile. “My life is either games or murder, after all.”
    “Or mail fraud,” Thelyss says dryly, not even a little disarmed.
    “The mail fraud is a sort of game as well.”
    A sigh. “Is this your way of telling me that you intend to continue playing?”
    Bren smiles again, sharper. “If you would let me.”

    (In which Bren Aldric Ermendrud decides to seduce the Shadowhand and finds that the best way to convince someone to be vulnerable with you is to be vulnerable in turn.)

    Summary

    “Come here?” Caleb asks, parting his own legs a little wider. He wears an expression of casual awe, and below it, a smart-looking vest and shirt over wide linen trousers, and below that, the traveler’s boots he refuses to give up.

    Essek could go to him easily. Because he likes to make life challenging for himself and for others, he instead circles around the armchair Caleb is occupying, pausing behind it to drag out the moment. He hears the shaky exhale he was waiting for. His lips curl up in satisfaction.

    The two of them have pined and prowled and yearned enough in their youth to make a game of it now. They have earned such things.

    Summary

    Looking down at his body, he sees the soft gleam of the sun-oil he had been convinced into applying even as he hides in the shade, after the first few times when his skin had grown sore and dry the next day. Sunlight bounces off bright surfaces, of course; it takes a lot to be fully untouched. Even safely in the shade, the heat finds him, seeps in through the porous skin, and warms him to the very gut.

    Or; the fic where going to the beach makes Essek horny

    Summary

    “Sub thing is your thing, Hollander,” Ilya reminds him.

    Slowly, Shane argues, “Actually, I don’t think it is. I mean, yeah, that part is my thing. But I think you like it, too.”

    “Always like sex with you.”

    “Not the sex. Or – yeah, of course it’s the sex too. But I think it’s for reasons other than just the sex.”

    A chuckle bubbles up out of Ilya, and it dislodges the lump in his throat just a little. “Always so many words and you make no sense.”

    Laughing too, Shane explains, “What I mean is, the whole being a dom, thing. I think it’s good for you, too, and not just because the sex is fun. I think it settles you, in the same way it settles me.”

    On the anniversary of his father's death Ilya is feeling unsteady; Shane has an idea.
