Weak Spot
by wastingyourgum
The Saracen's dark eyes blazed at him with cold fury as he finished securing her ankles. Nothing new there - he'd felt the hatred in hundreds of stares from eyes like hers. Now... the skinny boy, then the manservant when he gets back and that will just leave the big man and the girl.
He ducked out of the camp towards where he'd see the carpenter heading and froze. The manservant was coming towards him with an armful of logs. If he saw the Saracen and alerted the others his plan would be in ruins. He had to silence him quickly.
The manservant smiled as he saw him but then his face became clouded with confusion. "Where's Djaq?" he asked. "And what are you doing up? And where's Will? Is everything-- Mmph!"
His questions were silenced by Carter suddenly grabbing his face and kissing him as if his life depended on it - which it more or less did.
The manservant stood there in shock with his hands still held rigidly out in front of him.
"You talk too much," Carter said, breathlessly, as their lips parted.
"I know. I just-- Mmmmm..." Carter pressed his lips to the other man's again and this time the manservant's arms relaxed and he dropped the logs off to one side before grabbing Carter tightly around the waist.
Carter had expected the initial shock but not the subsequent passion - from either of them. His hands dropped to grab the man's back and pull their bodies closer so they were touching from shoulder to hip. His breathing grew ragged with desire and he had to make a determined physical effort to break away from the kiss.
"I'm sorry," Carter said, with a small twinge of surprise that he actually meant it.
"For what?" The manservant almost laughed that he should be apologised to for something he had so obviously enjoyed.
"This." Carter stepped back and punched him squarely across the jaw, knocking him out almost instantly.
Carter tied up the manservant with a lot more care than he usually took over such things. The boy and the big man he would not be so gentle with.
Now, how to position them to find Robin's weak spot? He'd tie the girl up with the manservant...
...who appeared to now be awake again - and staring at him balefully with the saddest blue eyes Carter had ever seen. He realised with a sudden jolt he'd forgotten to gag him and moved to swiftly remedy that, cursing whatever part of him had felt the need to leave the man's mouth free. He was usually much more efficient than this.
"Sorry. Nothing personal." He was amazed at how sincere his apology sounded but the manservant was clearly not impressed.
"You kissed me, knocked me out and tied me up - I would call that very personal," he huffed before Carter covered his mouth again - this time with a rag and not his lips.
Carter laughed - and found himself fervently hoping it was the girl and a quick surrender Robin was most interested in...
