Chapter 30: Love Bites

Oliver looks beautiful like this. He looks beautiful under most circumstances, but particularly so when he was feeling confident. He looms over Alastair with a mischievous glint in his mossy green eyes.

Alastair thinks that he should reciprocate with a similar expression. That was the normal progression of a situation like this. Oliver winks and Alastair gives him that wolfish grin. Even before Oliver, Alastiar hasn’t been entirely celebate and the dance had been similar with his past partners.

A touch, a smirk, wandering eyes. He had enjoyed this dance many times before. He enjoyed it especially with Oliver. He thought, perhaps, this was a large part of the reason he had been won over by the other man so quickly. He is not a fool in most aspects of his life, his awareness of his parents evil deeds, notwithstanding.
