Relief washed over Damen to hear Laurent already laughing and jesting with him again. He bestowed more cuddles and kisses as he let his hand be guided back down. There was too much at stake to risk that touchiest of subjects between them, but Damen gave an eloquent harrumph and slid his fingers in a circle around Laurent's hole. "Only husbands who demand to be fucked in no uncertain terms." He'd know better next time.

The bite was not undeserved. Damen let him have it. "Did you?" The worry uncurled in him, softening into satisfaction. He smiled. "You might like it even more, with a little more, hmm...patience." This time, the teasing chide might apply to the both of them.

A single finger slipped back inside Laurent, easily, soothing for a moment before Damen began to work it in and out of him.
