The rest of his shower lasted only long enough to scrub and rinse, with no signs of his erection coming back. After last night’s revelations, Alec would never act on his desires, especially if Rowan made it clear he was fulfilling the role Martin wanted of him regardless of how Alec felt about it. In spite of their age difference, Alec probably thought of him as some errant kid, his lack of experience the wall he’d never breach.
