'Yes,' Damen replied for there was no reason to lie in the face of Laurent's honesty.
Laurent only stared at him now, wide-eyed and with his shoulders drawn tight as though cornered. Damen felt as though he couldn't move either, felt as though he could barely breathe.
But he did after a moment, and he considered more closely what he could remember of Vere, only now in a new light. Their trip to Nesson, the feel of Laurent's palm on his thigh, the glitter of that sapphire earring upon his neck. He thought of Laurent's body pressed against his own on the balcony, the tremble of his silent laughter, the joyous burn through his body as they'd flown across the rooftops. He thought of their evenings spent hovered over maps in Laurent's tent, strategizing and planning and conversing. The coupling fires at Vask and Laurent's smile when Damen returned to collapse in a heap by his side.
'You said you've always known,' Damen said then because it was the on piece that didn't fit. 'You knew and still you let me bed you.'
