He wasn't thinking of anything that wasn't that he could touch this beautiful man and... lay with him, properly. And that thought overpowered common sense.

They went up some stairs and through some hallways and Aaron pushed open the door of his chambers. His room was decorated with gold and it was clear that he had money to spare. Once they were inside he turned, locked the door, and kissed Eliot again. "This is... I'm happy for you," he said, genuinely.
