------------------------------
Flinging down the coins, Merlin fled the room. His tunic askew, buckling his belt on as he scurried away, he kept mumbling to himself what a bad idea it had been.
The whore had been talented, bringing Merlin off with long swipes of his tongue and using his fingers just so. Blond, fit, those blue eyes so close to Arthur’s own colour. Even the smile was perfect.
But he wasn’t Arthur. Never would be. And Merlin needed to be loved by someone, even if he only looked like Arthur. Even if it was all a lie.
He would be back.
