it’s quite a change from the robert he had spent evenings with. he’s treating him with much more of a noticeable grace. the way he’s touching him is calculated, delicate, and gentle. the change from robert’s commanding and forceful nature is nothing short of a pleasant surprise. it’s enough so that damien leans in a second time, dusting the other’s before dipping in.

But this didn’t feel like the time or place for the moment being.
