    Summary

    Laurent DeVere is a journalist with ambitions that reach higher than the work he’s given. Then, Senator Damianos Akielos walks into his office with the scoop of a lifetime about his brother, Kastor. But the story needs delicate, dangerous work.

    Under the guise of a relationship, the two begin to work together closely, and find themselves grappling with the fact of both Kastor on their heels, and their emerging - and entirely unprofessional - feelings for each other.

    Summary

    “I missed you,” Damen admitted, overwhelmed by the feeling. He pressed his lips to Laurent’s hip, the jut of it sharp and strong beneath his lips. Again, in Veretian, “I missed you.”

    “Your accent is stronger,” Laurent said, tilting his head to the side as he studied Damen. “Your time in Ios was successful, I trust?”

    “We can talk of Ios in the morning,” Damen told him as he kissed his way slowly up Laurent’s chest and up to his neck, lower lip dragging gently along the edge of his jaw until they were breathing the same air.

    Summary

    “The Empress sends her wishes for your happy and long union.” The Ambassador waves forward a box, “And a gift that your lines might continue this happy union of nations.”

    Damen raises confused eyebrows at Laurent in the throne beside him.

    “We send our heartfelt thanks,” Laurent says calmly. “We shall have to find a way to repay such a generous gift.”

    Summary

    “You’re so much sweeter than Sarcean ever knew.” Will had said too much already, but he kept going— “there’s no need to collar you.”

    A moment passed between them, then James said. “You told me to come for you, I did, and I'm still here.”

    In that moment, Will realised they weren’t alone. Sarcean was there with them, smiling in that mouthless way of his. More of a cloud or a concept than anything else. He taunted Will by putting thoughts in his head.

    You want to possess him just as bad as I do.

     

    In which: Will removes the collar from James neck, expecting James to hate him once it's done. That's not what happens.

    Summary

    The land would be cold and dark if you were gone, he thought desperately, briefly closing his eyes to scatter other images, of empty blue eyes, a body slumped to the ground, precious blood spreading and soaking the sand underneath. “If I’m gone, they’ll execute you as a traitor,” he pressed out, voicing his biggest fear.

    He felt Anharion pull from his embrace and he opened his eyes to find him staring back at him. His blue eyes shone fiercely, defiantly, but his voice was trembling with emotion. “And I will follow you into death,” Anharion said thickly, “and I will smile, knowing I’ll see you again.”

    Will breathes hard against his lips for an eternity, familiar and sated, the silence around them unbroken, until—

    “I wish this was real.”

    James flinches.

    “It is,” he promises. “It is real.”

    Summary

    Damen has two wolves inside of him. One of them is in love with Laurent. The other one is also in love with Laurent, he just doesn't know it yet.

    "They’ll always talk about you, D," Nikandros tells him, "for as long as you are who you are. Better they talk about your abysmal love life than go digging any deeper into what you do in your free time. That’s the whole point of this, remember?”

    And Damen, fully chastened by now, sighs. He remembers. How could he not? His entire life had been pretending at something else or the other—pretending that he knew how to run his father’s billion dollar corporation, pretending that the only things he cared about were women, booze and loud cars.

    Pretending that he could make a difference in this world, even if it was just by stopping one mugging at a time.

    Sometimes he wasn’t sure there was any part of him that existed that wasn’t some sort of pretense or the other. If the tabloids dug down and tried to find out who was underneath Damianos Vallis, heir to the billion dollar Vallis Corporation, son to a dead father, brother to a murderous traitor—

    All they would find are empty masks, all the way down.
