Summary
“I'm old enough to do a lot of things,” Daniel steps in closer with a cocky little smirk. He's almost taller than Armand, but has a way of twisting his body until he's looking up at him, putting himself into a submissive role. His heart rate speeds up. Armand wonders if he's aware that it's fear, not arousal, that makes his body react this way. Daniel's mind seems to be confused on the point.
Armand leans over Daniel's shoulder, looking at the array of handkerchiefs on display. “I see that.” He can feel Daniel's breath on his neck as he reaches over and pulls at the end of one of them, tugging it out. “What is this one for?” he asks, waiving it in front of Daniel's face. It's bright orange.
The boy shrugs, his grin even wider. Satisfied. “Anything goes. If you pay enough.”
Armand raises his eyebrows. “You shouldn't give people blanket permission to do anything they want to you. Some people are monsters.”

Summary
When he lets him go, Daniel is out of breath and hard as a rock. He feels dazed already, but then Armand's amber eyes lock onto his and a brain fog settles over him, making him feel heavy. Thoughts swim through his head – of the last week, of the copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula he got from the library and read every night, of the Vampirella zines under his bed, the comic book fantasies, tentacles and plants and helplessness…
“You want to be a victim so bad,” Armand says, amusement and mockery in his voice in equal measure. The brain fog lifts, but Daniel still feels strangely subdued. “Do you want to be my victim, Daniel? Do you want to be powerless?”
Daniel is nodding – he never even thought the question over, he shouldn't be nodding, he shouldn't be asking for, or even assenting to, being anyone's victim, especially not a monster's – but it's too late, he's being lead into the bedroom, he's said yes… and he can't wait.
Armand positions him at the foot of the bed.
“Rest.”
