[A small, loving smile crossed his features, softening them.]
You're too kind for that.
[Something about the proposed bargain, however, forced his heat to drop into the pit of his stomach. He had feared that he'd forced Alec to grow too fast as Ilar had to him, but now a new worry appeared. Had he done as Korathan had?
Korathan had been demanding as a lover. He'd never allowed Seregil the time to come to an understanding of things, had never eased him into the whole thing. Not that Seregil held it against him; on the contrary, the pair were on good terms, and he considered him as much as a friend as Phoria would allow. But that wasn't what he wanted for Alec. The man should be cherished; he should have been allowed to feel comfortable in his decision and in the understanding of what he wanted in a lover and lovemaking. Seregil never wanted to take from him, only give.]
No, I'd prefer you show me what you want.
[His look was almost pleading as he squeezed Alec's hand.]
