It is in my heart to show him that myself

It is also in my heart, seal person.

He is like the trunk of an oak-and you,” his eyes swept down Esca’s body scathingly, “are like the branches that bend in the wind. No. To believe this, I would see you claim him

I agree with this dude more and more.

Esca put his hands on Marcus’s hips, and felt a sudden, shameful thrill at having that powerful body under his command.

Um, ugn?

“Esca.” Marcus’s voice had lost its levelness, was close to desperate now, raw. “Whatever they said, it doesn’t matter. Esca-“ The broken words were a plea. “Touch me. See how much I need you. Touch me. Esca--”

Oh man. That is...hot.

as clear and bright as a spear throw through sunlight.

And that is BEAUTIFUL.

and then I found I wanted you more than I wanted honor.

That is PERFECT. That is EXACTLY what I think of Marcus!

I loved this. AUGH. SO GOOD! I hope you will write more!

omg, awesome comment is awesome--thank you!

Sutcliff uses that "it is in my heart" locution all the time for the Britons -- I have no idea where she got it, or if she made it up, but it cracks me up, and I also love it. I put it in twice, I think!

And I know, I love that Marcus is pretty much ready to do anything for Esca by the end of the movie! These guys are so delicious, I expect I will write more. And you too--you write more!!

Oh man, that last line kills me. I love it!

[ariadnes_string]

I'm so glad! That's the main reason I wanted to re-post from the anon meme--to change the ending a bit, and get that last line in.

Thanks for reading!

I loved this on the kink meme, but the changes you made made the story so perfect. It was hot and sweet and kid of sad, so good.

[ariadnes_string]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it--and thought the changes worked! I wanted to make it so that Marcus wasn't quite so "la-di-da" at the end, especially--make it a little sadder--

Thanks for reading and commenting!
