Alec still didn’t like the idea of taking advantage of someone so inexperienced, but fantasies were harmless, especially sitting in the near dark. Rowan had admitted to enjoying how Alec responded to him, so it was easy to imagine what it would have been like if he’d been a little more confident, a little less pressed for time in the face of danger.
