Word Count: 1,021
Pairing: Browning/Eames
Rating: R for fairly undetailed sex
Summary: Written for this prompt on the kink meme: Eames is nothing if not thorough in learning how to copy Browning's mannerisms, and in the end, the best way to get the measure of a man is by knowing how he likes to fuck. Or be fucked.

Clearly, you missed it so you'd have something to read for today. The fates are watching out for you.

LOL, yes, Browning brings out all the stylized prose in me, it's true! I'm glad that you liked this piece. I figured you were one of the people who already commented, haha, but I thought it would be right up your alley.

:D

You write the best Brownings--and the best Eameses. And you've made them hot together.

Peter Browning isn’t the kind of man who simply forgets to update his nephew’s photo for twenty five years.

Eames puts it back and leaves while Peter is asleep. He’s gotten more than what he needs. As he takes a cab back to his motel, he thinks of something someone told him when he was a boy. The devil, they said, is in the details.

He doesn’t know if he believes it or not but he thinks there’s just a touch of the devil in Peter Browning, all the same.

There are, in my mind, two ways to take that. Initially, I took it the sweet, aw-he's-got-a-soft-side way. Then, the skeevy whoa-he's-a-perv sort of way dawned on me. Now, I'm wavering between the two like some sort of wavering thing!

Damn yous!

I was going more for the second, hence "the devil" in Peter Browning---at least, that's how Eames interprets it. Whether or not he's correct is kind of a call for the reader to make. How well does he know people, really? Is he projecting?

Anyway, I'm glad that you like them together. :)
