Summary
Henry thinks of the little velvet ring box tucked away in the suitcase beneath his socks and smiles privately to himself. It's always been Paris for them. It's the night that he comes back to, again and again, when they'd first made love and Alex had marked himself inside Henry – not just body, but soul, an etching so tender and fiercely held that Henry knew even then it would never fade.
Henry flies to Paris with a ring in his suitcase, a question in his heart, and Alex by his side.

Summary
"Hail, great prince of Phthia."
"Hail," Achilles greets him. "But here, in this part of the palace, I am just Achilles."
Achilles and Patroclus play the concept of erastes and eromenos with each other. Passion is a vehement little thing.

Summary
"I take it you had a pleasant dream?" Patroclus' voice is still rough with sleep, and the words are half-slurred against the curve of his neck. He can hear amusement there, and desire too; there is no hiding the way Pat's body responds to his, like the sweet notes of a lyre when its strings are plucked.
Even in sleep, Achilles can't help but reach for his lover. Patroclus is more than happy to show him that reality can be every bit as tantalizing as his dreams.

Summary
Patroclus took a slow sip of the liquid, savoring the bright bloom of it on his tongue. The roguish expression on his face mingled briefly with one of pleasure, and Achilles could almost taste it from the sight alone. After a time he swallowed, and Achilles' eyes followed the bob of his throat.
"I have seen the way he looks at you."
Spurred by another gift from their ever-generous prince, Patroclus lays siege to his lover’s deepest fantasies.

Summary
He simply said my name. Then, we just… were. Two souls together in one spot.
It is like the righting of some unnamed thing, deep at his core; a mending of places so long broken that the searing, wordless relief of it burns away all else.

Summary
Agent Henry Fox-Mountchristen is an asshole.
Alex is 90% sure those exact words are going in this mission report. Yeah, they’re supposed to be objective when writing this shit up, but that isn’t his opinion. It’s a fact.
(CIA agent Alex Claremont-Diaz and MI6 agent Henry Fox-Mountchristen don’t exactly get along, but that doesn’t keep their respective agencies from insisting they work together as partners. Then a mission in Colombia changes everything, and their relationship begins to shift and grow into something that neither of them ever expected… and something that could have deadly consequences.)

Summary
Wanting Alex’s blood is nothing new. Wanting Alex as a whole is nothing new. But Henry knows that it’s a dead end—one that will most likely lead to his own demise if he allows himself to drift too far into his orbit. No matter how attracted Henry is to him, how much he’s imagined the sweetness of his blood on his tongue, how much he’s envisioned the contrast of Alex’s skin against his bedsheets, it doesn’t change the facts. It doesn’t change who they are.
Henry, born into a role he never asked for, and Alex, born into a bloodline bred to exterminate him.

Summary
Alex is a philanthropist. He’s also, technically, a thief. But he only ever steals to help others; he’s never taken a thing for himself. That is, at least, until now.
.
Or, the royal wedding serves as the perfect cover for a heist, but what Alex ends up stealing is a kiss from Prince Henry instead.

Summary
“Here’s what we’re gonna do,” he tells Martha in their next meeting, which takes place two hours outside of London at her parents’ ‘cottage’. To think they talk of her family as commoners when they have this much money is fucking insane. It just goes to illustrate how out of touch the whole monarchy machine is.
“Tea?” she offers, and he nods just to be polite. A literal, honest to god butler comes over to pour for him. “Carry on.”
“You’re gonna disappear,” he tells her, and her whole face lights up. Her shoulders relax. She looks straight at him. He can hear the kids playing with their grandmother in the next room.
“Tell me more.”
Or, Alex is Martha's divorce attorney
