One would think that due to his skills the night would favor him, caress his cheeks with shadow and moonlight, embracing him as one would a lover.
That wasn’t to be so. His hair the color of wheat; nose and cheeks sprinkled with the kisses of the sun, Judeau could only be fully appreciated in the daylight.
His skills as a scout were unparalleled in the Hawks and his keen intelligence made him aptly suited to gather and interpret information, even despite Judeau’s protestations that he was the ‘jack of all trades but master of none’. Griffith considered himself quite lucky to have attracted the attention, and loyalty, of the young man, neither of which were won easily or quickly despite his easygoing demeanor.
Judeau’s ability to see right into the hearts of men, read their emotions and accurately predict their intentions was a gift wholly exploited by Griffith. For the future of the Band of the Hawks; for Griffith’s ambitions; and Judeau gave over with no argument, looking only to Griffith for guidance in where he could best further Griffith’s dreams.
They both came from the same humble, common strata of Midland. As far as power structures were concerned, it was equal footing. There was no denying how loftily Judeau elevated Griffith, however, and the division of ‘class’, which was nothing more than a philosophical construct developed by the nobility to hold on to their pathetically weak social standing, was nurtured between the two.
It was powerful and heady, to hold that kind of sway over someone. Experienced with a group of men, such as his Hawks, it was as humbling as it was intoxicating and kept Griffith grounded lest his addiction carry him away and he lose it all.
To feel it emanating from a singular source…that was something that could never be explained but only experienced.
Sex was a tool, useful to Griffith as a means to gain what he wanted. He was not above using it when necessary and had done so in the past. However, with Judeau, it was not necessary.
All’s the pity; it wouldn’t have been a chore for Griffith to take Judeau to his bed. In fact, he would have enjoyed hearing Judeau cry out his name at his peak and to have him writhe in pleasure as they both found their release; sweat slicked and sex mussed to lie languid with heaving breaths on soft cotton sheets.
The tension made things all the more interesting.
No. This suited Griffith more. Judeau was out of reach for him; a representation that all was not about manipulation and ‘encouraged’ loyalty. Some expressions were best left unblemished, not touched by the foul of earthly pleasures.
Griffith would simply enjoy the fantasy in his bedchambers, unsheathing his dark-eyed swordsman to slake those desires.
…and leave purity untainted
