    Summary

    If anyone asked, you’d tell them you never really thought about your wedding. You figured it probably wouldn’t happen given the sorry state of the world. For one thing, you’d be too wrapped up in your work to consider getting tied up in a relationship, let alone marriage. And for another, you’ve seen enough social media posts and been the shoulder for enough criers to know that maybe it wasn’t worth it. That maybe there wasn’t ever such a thing as an equal partner, so what was the point in looking for one?

    (If anyone asked again, you’d admit that you were lying.

    Rafayel was the only one who ever asked again. The only one who saw the cracks in the foundation, and then peeked through them. He didn’t just show you the point. He made it so you didn’t even have to look in the first place.)

    ———

    Or: Rafayel has waited forever for his wedding night. You have every intention to make it unforgettable.

    Summary

    You’ve known Rafayel long enough to gather three things.

    The first is that you’ve never seen him paint a portrait. More often than not he submits himself to the abstract, to smears of color that, according to him, never fully capture what he feels but at least get close enough. Sometimes, he allows himself a landscape here and there. But never a portrait. Never a person. No matter how much someone offers to pay him.

    The second is that he refuses to wake up at dawn if he can help it. He’s never told you why. Just that there’s something about the sound of the morning bells that he hates.

    The third is that there is a door in Mo Art Studio—just one—that Rafayel has never opened.

    ———

    Or: The manifestations of love as history, art, civilization, and the sheer horrors of yearning.

    Summary

    "Why are you doing this, anyway?”

    “I already told you,” he says patiently. “I want you—”

    “To see what you see. I know. But.” You flounder, struggling to articulate exactly why this scenario is so difficult for you to wrap your head around. It’s not the nudity, not really. But the sheer amount of attention he’s given you. The time. “You’re not really getting anything out of this. Not if you don’t put it on exhibit.”

    There’s a pause in the rhythm of his sketching. “Ma petite muse,” Rafayel purrs, the endearment dripping with amusement. "Are you asking me why I ‘do’ art?”

    Summary

    “One click to check in. Two if it’s good. Three to tap out.” You slip the training tool between Rafayel’s fingers, waiting for his thumb to find a secure place on the button. “If you want to check in, wait until I say ‘click’ before giving me your answer. That’ll keep us from getting confused. I’ll say the same if I want to check in with you.”

    His eyes follow you as you sit back to admire your handiwork. It’s not a glare precisely, but it’s not pleased. He’s offended, probably, that you’d be so cruel to incapacitate him like this. He’s already collared, nude, and kneeling on the covers. His hands are restrained in leather cuffs connected to a harness around each thigh. Throw the cat ears in and it’s ridiculous as it is arousing.

    Because you can’t help yourself, you say, “Good thing Tara already had a clicker for Percy, right?”
