Summary
He had built a wall around all the most vulnerable parts of himself, a facade of generosity and implacable good manners, shored up by the white-hot flames of righteous anger. And it had worked, at least for a while. It had seemed simple enough, acting gracious outwardly while seething under the surface. It had felt almost like a game, a fresh sort of challenge or achievement. If self-control was an art and denying himself a science, then he would be the master of both.
But that was the problem with fire, wasn’t it? It was finite. It burned out, and left a barren wasteland in its wake.

Summary
Holmes smiled -- not the usual delicate curve of her lips, but a genuine grin. And if it was just the slightest bit predatory, well...so much the better.
No, who was he kidding? Her expression as she glanced back over her shoulder on the stairs was a goddamned dream. For months he’d wished for her to look at him with even half of the customary relish she showed toward her food, and now...Now he might as well be an iced pound cake that had grown legs.
All right, so that wasn’t the sexiest image that he could have come up with. Possibly his brain was more than a little bit addled with desire.
