Summary: Sneaking pleasures where they can.
Notes: Set in the future: Milos is 30 and the king's courtesan-assassin; Alex is 35 and a rebel knight.

( Alex was rough and pinned him down, pounding into him as his lips left burning trails over his shoulder and neck. )

Rating: 18
Word Count: 5,124
Summary: Alex and Milos plan to go through their notes together; sent to deal with dinner, Milos falls foul of another plan entirely—one that shakes his new-born faith in his owner to its foundations.

( The next three days passed in a whirl of social obligations brought about by Alex’s standing as both a noble and an Elite Corps knight—and, Milos suspected, in no small part due to the Five Families' sudden, pressing desire to ingratiate themselves with him. )

Rating: 15
Word Count: 1,923
Summary: After a bad night, Alex's regular mood reasserts itself... until, out of the blue, he confuses Milos in only two words.

( Kennet had put Alex in enough of a foul mood that the evening was one long ordeal. )

Rating: 15
Word Count: 2,296
Summary: Alex takes Milos to train, but ends up fighting Kennet instead... not entirely for the reasons he says.

( Despite being attached to the royal palace and main barracks, the three practice arenas Milos had seen with Alex were all quite small, the covered racks of training weapons nicked and blunt—although not blunt enough that he’d been able to avoid a few scrapes and cuts—and the ground surface was dusty and dry. )

Rating: 15
Word Count: 2,674
Summary: Alex embarrasses Milos, then takes him into the city again—and sets a plan in motion.

( It was one of the best nights’ sleep he’d had since Alex had bought him, free from the crushing weight and oppressive heat of the sarcastic, smug man. )

Rating: 18
Word Count: 4,497
Summary: Alex has no choice but to have dinner with the Duke, but what happens afterwards is all by choice. Just not by Milos's.

( The Duke was waiting at the top of the steps when they returned, all welcoming smiles and bonhomie. Beside him, the picture of ease and relaxed charm, was Sir Kennet. )

Rating: PG
Word Count: 2,661
Summary: Alex starts investigating the death of the servant, but it looks like he's not the only one doing it...

( "One last time, and please correct me if I am wrong, but you were coming to interview this man when his body was discovered?" Standing beside Alex, the Duke gave the covered body a sceptical look. "And you say he knew nothing of this?" )

Rating: PG
Word Count: 2,678
Summary: There are explanations Milos can believe, and then there's the downright ridiculous. Alex supplies the latter, then drags him off to talk to the servants he has suspicions about: a plan that rapidly goes awry...

( For the second time in as many days, Milos woke to find himself alone in bed. This time, however, he discovered to his horror that he wasn’t alone in the room. )

Rating: 15
Word Count: 2,040
Summary: Milos and Alex discuss what they're going to do, but their nighttime gets a whole lot more eventful when they realise someone else is in their room...

( When they returned the inn was a lot quieter than before. A few tired-looking patrons sat at the bar by the door and one man was asleep in his food at a table as they made their way up the stairs and into Alex’s room again. )

Rating: PG
Word Count: 3,355
Summary: Milos tries to exact revenge on Alex... and fails again. Alex's revenge is to insist he go with him to a dinner party. Milos thinks the dinner party is worse—or at least more embarrassing.

( Milos woke to a sticky feeling between his buttocks and a distinct absence of Alex. )

Rating: 18
Word Count: 2,388
Summary: Alex is still frustrated and desperate, and Milos is his only available outlet. Shame Alex hasn't ever done this before...

( The inn was busier when they arrived than when they’d left. )

Rating: PG
Word Count: 2,461
Summary: Alex takes Milos to the shopping district, but when the journey home becomes dangerous a face from the past comes to their rescue.

( Instead of leading him back to their lodgings, Alex angled to the right as they left the castle grounds, directly into the most crowded part of the city. )

Rating: 15
Word Count: 2,939
Summary: Alex's restraint very almost cracks, but Milos is saved by a knock at the door. But after their meeting, it's possible that instead things have gone from bad to worse...

( The inn wasn’t as run-down as it looked from the outside: the wooden floors were swept and shiny with use, the tables in the small dining area beyond the entrance had only a few puddles spread over their surfaces and the scattered guests looked, for the most part, at least somewhat presentable. )

Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,583
Summary: Alex and Milos resume their journey, and Alex actually manages to keep himself contained, even if it was difficult. Now all they have to contend with is the city of Ginebourne itself.

( Alex woke to a dead arm, a pathetic pile of grains and dried fruit, and a dark elf slave with folded arms, crossed legs, and an expression like thunder. )

Rating: 18
Word Count: 2093
Summary: Alex keeps vanishing into the woods with the flimsiest of excuses; if only Milos didn't know exactly why he was going. If only he didn't get roped into helping deal with the issue...

( Milos finished strapping the bedrolls to the back of the saddles, moving carefully around the horses to avoid startling them. The last thing he wanted was to start this journey having been kicked or stamped on and having to travel in pain. )

Rating: 18
Word Count: 1,890
Summary: Milos is helping Alex pack when an unexpected visit from Hal turns nasty.

( Seven days had been all Milos needed to learn the locations of everything in Alex’s tiny apartment and, apparently was all they’d both needed to learn to move around it without getting in each other’s way. )

Rating: 15
Word Count: 2,032
Summary: Milos settles quickly into a routine with Alex, but after only seven days he's reminded no routine lasts forever.

( Alex was as good as his word as far as sleeping arrangements went: every night he insisted that Milos share his narrow one-man bed, no longer to warm it before he entered but to act as a heat source all night. )

Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,403
Summary: Alex is almost growing attached to his new pet; his new pet has his own way of trying to break free.

( "I’ll be sad when you die," Alex said, apropos of nothing, without looking up from his book. )

Rating: 15
Word Count: 1,654
Summary: Alex makes a bet with Milos: wound and he'll be sold; kill and he'll be a free man...

( Wearing an only slightly too large pair of Alex’s boots, Milos followed the knight silently across the ward and towards the area set aside for high-ranking members of the military to train. )

Rating: 15
Word Count: 1,597
Summary: Even waking up is a pain for Milos, and he gets to meet—far better than he expected or wanted—another of Alex's siblings.

( Early morning sunlight blazed golden through the windows as Alex stirred, mumbling incomprehensibilities into Milos’s clothing along with a healthy helping of night-time drool. )

Something Witty That Way Went.
