"Good." Dorian snuggled closer to make his point. He didn't want to go anywhere and he didn't want his lover to go anywhere. There was too much on Bramen's shoulders at any given time and he took all the time he could to have their time alone.

He chuckled deeply and began to trail his fingers up and down on Bramen's ribs. "That was much more fun than some light reading. That was much more engaging and satisfying."

It was a bone deep satisfaction that settled in his muscles and around his heart because Bramen loved him. That was the best feeling in the world. He had no sense of worry, no fear that he would be asked to leave one day. He had this, love and sex, and everything he ever wanted.
