Armand helpfully steps out of his trousers, left only with the tight boxer-briefs that highlight all his best features, advancing on Daniel to pin him to the wall, still enjoying the desultory handjob he's able to provide.

"You did used to get us in terrible trouble," Armand admits, thinking of Daniel at his highest, and how glorious he'd burned. "I suspect some of those times you made me laugh were after I had drunk from you when you were soaring close to the sun. Everything was terribly amusing then."

He pins Daniel to the wall now, kissing him as he drags the pad of his thumb over the head of his cock. "We did fuck once in a morgue," he murmurs, "a fanboat in Florida. In a gondola in Venice. And in front of a terribly wonderful movie."

It's a shame he doesn't still have that VHS. He did love it so.
