    Summary

    The gold ring glints in the sliver of sunlight that peeks through the gap in the curtains in Aaron’s hotel room the next morning, sitting innocuously on the floor in the pile of clothes Robert had shirked off with haste the second the door slammed shut behind them. A glittering reminder that Aaron should give up on romance and join a convent or somethin’ because the universe clearly has it in for him. 

    Jackson, dead. Ed, a canvas of bruises from other (rugby, but still) lads. Ben, terminally boring. Marco, the only Italian in history to not like pasta. Robert, married. 

    About sums up his luck.

    Summary

    “Bit warm in here for a jumper, innit?”

    “Says the one wearing a hoodie.”

    “Yeah, well, I’ve got precious cargo to carry ‘round.” Aaron unzips his jacket and pulls one side open, reaches into a hidden inner pocket to pull out one of the small plastic bags Robert’s come to know so well. 

    “Tonight is business then, is it?”

    Aaron makes a grand show of looking Robert up and down. “I could be open to some pleasure,” he murmurs, acting all coy like he hasn’t just short-circuited every wire in Robert’s brain.

    Summary

    When the story’s almost over, Max’s eyes are wide with wonder. “Pretty eyes and an impressive tolerance for your psychosexual daddy issues? Jesus, you’re so screwed.”

    It’s a testament to the gravity of the situation that Robert lets that blatant blasphemy go, though not without vowing to himself to remember to piss in Max’s coffee in the morning. 

    “And the worst part,” Robert starts, mouth dry as he realises he’s finally going to voice aloud the illicit secret he can barely admit to himself, “is that he’s my soulmate.”

    “Oh shit!”

    Oh shit indeed.

    Summary

    Aaron has only seen Robert wear overalls once before, a decade ago, and the sight of him was enough to have Aaron kickstarting their tumultuous affair all over again, falling back into a cycle that he’d never thought would end. 

    He’s ten years older now, more mature and settled and a master of self-restraint but fuck. 

    He wants Robert. 

    And nothing good ever comes from that.

    Summary

    Aaron couldn’t stop loving Robert if he tried. Robert could well stop loving him if he discovers his beloved, state of the art oven has been reduced to smouldering smithereens though, and Aaron can’t be having that. 

    It’s time to bring out the big guns, he decides, already conjuring up a thousand different scenarios in his mind, each more thrilling than the last. If there’s one surefire way to distract Robert Sugden from a scheme, it’s to ensnare him in a second, sex-related scheme.

    Summary

    “And what did you think this collar was gonna achieve exactly?” 

    “It was either that or I bite every inch of your throat,” Robert mutters, like those are two perfectly reasonable solutions to the problem he’s created in his own head. “Mark you, so everyone knows you’re not to be touched. That you belong to me.”

    Summary

    Robert’s nails dig into Aaron’s thighs where he holds him steady, and Aaron hopes they’ll leave bruises tomorrow. He wants to take pictures of them, of Robert sprawled out beneath him like this, and stick them on every notice board in the village with the tagline Mine, but that wouldn’t really be in the spirit of the whole secrecy thing. 

    God, this was easier the first time around — when nobody had suspected them, when they could meet up in public in broad daylight and everyone would just think 'oh what dedicated business partners they are'. 

    People will talk now, Aaron’s sure of that. They’ll whisper about how 'Robert’s always been the sort' and 'poor Aaron gets hurt again' and they won’t have a clue that behind closed doors they still belong to each other in mind and soul and body.

    Summary

    “Have you been experiencing any other symptoms of anxiety?” 

    Doctors could probably quote their entire pamphlets on the condition from the inside of Robert’s brain — restlessness, racing heartbeat, the uncontrollable thoughts in his head that keep him up at night; he’s ticking all the boxes. 

    A therapist’s field day. His own worst nightmare. 

    “One or two, I suppose,” he agrees.

    Summary

    Aaron rolls his eyes. “Dare. Go on, get it over with.” He hasn’t once chosen truth, though what he’s so insistent on hiding is anyone’s guess — Robert doesn’t think anyone around this table has enough combined brain power to work out what’s going on between the two of them. 

    Take Victoria out of the equation and he’s not entirely sure the rest of them could figure out how to make fire in a room filled with matches.

    It’s dark in the bar, the only source of light being a series of rotating strobes that would send an epileptic into an early grave, but Robert sees the way that Ross’ eyes light up and knows instinctively that this isn’t going to end well. 

    Ross leaps out of his seat. “I dare you,” he begins, draws out the words like he’s taking great pleasure in his own genius, “to sit on our Finn’s lap.”

    Summary

    Everyone in their postage stamp village knows about the history between Aaron and Robert, Kev included, but he trusts Robert — a big mistake, in the grand scheme of things. Robert isn’t an inherently trustworthy person, even less so where Aaron’s concerned. 

    Which is how they’ve found themselves in this predicament: Aaron with his back pressed against the jagged stone wall of Keepers Cottage, Robert with his impossibly strong arms holding him upright as he thrusts into Aaron like it’s the last time they’ll ever do this. 

    They both know it isn’t; staying away from each other has never really been an option.

    Summary

    “You humiliated yourself in there,” he says, voice rough. “You humiliated me in front of everyone.”

    “In front of Alex, you mean?” Robert can’t help himself, has to twist the knife into his own heart. 

    “Yeah,” agrees Aaron, flippant. “He’s what I should want, you know?”

    The should rings clear, an echo in this little bubble they’ve trapped themselves in.

    Summary

    “Go on, admit it. You hated seeing me there with Chrissie, didn’t you?”

    Aaron clenches his fists, strides from the door to stand between Robert’s legs. He’s looking down on him and it’s thrilling, having Robert below him, completely at his mercy. 

    “You wanna wind your neck in,” he advises, words barely a hiss between grinding teeth. “Because if I started on you, I don’t think I’d ever stop.”

    Robert’s hands come up to grip the backs of Aaron’s thighs, pulling him in closer until his knees knock against the side of the bed. “Maybe I wouldn’t want you to,” Robert challenges because apparently he’s got some sort of death wish.

    Summary

    “Kev would say he wanted to spend time with me, or whatever, but we both knew where it was goin’. And afterwards he’d tell me to go piss, that he’d be there when I got back.”

    “But he wasn’t?”

    “But he wasn’t.”

    Summary

    “You’re gay.”

    No. Robert is not gay, thank you very much. The sons of farmers are not allowed to be queer, it’s in the common folk guidelines somewhere.

    “You’re off your head.”

    Aaron actually laughs at him. “Am I?”

    “I’ve been shaggin’ the blushing bride for months,” Robert reveals, puffing out his chest as if to say I’m out and proud but by out he of course means out of that phase of his life where he thought he might be allowed to want something different to his Dad’s expectations of him.

    Summary

    Apparently a drowsy Robert is an affectionate Robert, and Aaron feels an inexplicable wave of sadness wash over him at the knowledge that somebody else gets to see his Robert like this every morning. 

    It should be me, he wants to scream. 

    “You still with me?” asks Robert, pausing his gentle thrusts to watch Aaron’s face.

    “Yeah, ‘course,” he answers, tucks away those thoughts to ponder on when he’s alone.

    Summary

    And, yeah. This is the sort of guy Aaron wants to fuck in his tent after the setlist is over. Hell, he’d be tempted to sneak off for a quickie during Library Pictures if this stranger is up for it, it’s hardly one of his favourite tracks. 

    The man is looking right back at him, smile turning into a devious smirk when he catches Aaron staring. He makes his way over, sashaying with the confidence of someone who knows how good looking they are. 

    Ordinarily, that would be a major turn-off, but Aaron can’t bring himself to blame the guy — if he had cheekbones that could cut glass and the sort of hips that Shakira very rightly claimed don’t lie then he’d probably swagger around like that too.

    Summary

    “You’re perfect as you are,” Aaron tells him. “Perfect for me. You make me so happy, you know that?”

    Whatever Robert says is garbled with Aaron’s cock on his tongue, but he squeezes Aaron’s thigh in what he takes to be appreciation. 

    “You’re more than enough, Rob. And they might not see that but I do. My good boy.”

    Summary

    “You really are impressed,” Aaron observes, lips curved up into a smug smirk that Robert wants to taste. “Aren’t you supposed to tell me I went too far?”

    “Oh, you definitely did.” Robert hooks his foot around Aaron’s calf and drags him over until there’s no space left between them. “But the worst thing,” he starts, hot breath fanning across Aaron’s cheek, “is that I didn’t get to see it.” 

    He surges forwards, almost knocks their foreheads together in his desperation to feel Aaron’s lips up against his, to thrust his tongue so deep into his mouth that he might be entirely consumed by this version of Aaron who lies and manipulates and makes Robert’s toes curl.

    Summary

    So, as Aaron watches his not-perfect-but-perfect-for-him boyfriend slowly relaxing under his kneading fingers, he decides to be a little generous too.

    “Want me to take care of you?”

    Robert cracks one eye open. “What d’you have in mind?” As if he’s ever said no to any of Aaron’s bedroom suggestions, the deviant that he is.

    Aaron grins. “Roll over and relax.”
