    Summary

    “I’m…going to make another drink. You want a drink, Armand? You look like you could use one.”

    Daniel. That voice, like the brass section of a street band, grating, cocksure, and louder in Louis’s ear than all my artful whispers.

    Knit go the bones. Pull go the veins. Beat beat beat goes my laboring heart. I’ll kill him. Drain him dry like I should have in 1973. Cruelly. Not like I took Malik, in the throes of a dream I conjured for him as he melted against me, praying to the God we shared. But like a knife in the neck and fire in the blood -

    The blood -
    His blood -
    For me.

    Summary

    "I know I might look naive to you, but I am an adult in my own right," said Rashid as he ashed his cigarette over the balcony railing. His voice was as soft as silk.

    The bony part of his wrist peaked between the leather glove and the long sleeve of his shirt, so delicate and pretty that Daniel wondered if a strong enough gust of wind could snap it in half. Or maybe a hard grip would do the trick. "Mr. Du Lac is not my keeper. I do not need his permission to seek my own pleasure."

    "So you try to fuck all your bosses' guests?"

    Rashid shook his head. "No, only you."

     

    — An alternative universe in which two-time Pulitzer winning, retired reporter and journalist Daniel Molloy embarks on a very ill-advised affair with the help.
