Summary
“I do occasionally like to try my luck, Mr. Barrow.”
“I’ve noticed that about you, Mr. Ellis.”
It’s always been like this, Richard realises. It’s always been this easy with Thomas. The banter, the back-and-forth, that sense of having found a kindred spirit. Someone to be on equal footing with. Something grounding and real, a presence outside these walls, a reminder that the world doesn’t stop at the gates of Buckingham Palace, like he sometimes feels it does.
And what a godsend you are, for so many reasons.
Sequel to I'll yield to the flood of your beauty.
After their getaway in the Yorkshire countryside, it's back to reality for Thomas and Richard both. They each deal with it in drastically different ways, and learn a thing or two in the process - not only about the other, but themselves most of all.

Summary
“Well, it’s… it’s embarrassing, isn’t it? An embarrassing thing to admit to, in terms of what one likes to do in bed.”
Richard looks less than impressed. “Thomas, again, you’re talking to someone who’s got an artificial cock stuffed up his arse. I’m hardly in a position to judge.”
Thomas and Richard have a perfectly happy sex life. But Richard has brought home something from his latest trip to London that he would very much like to try. Once he musters the nerve to ask Thomas, that is.

Summary
"You remember, I told you about my grandparents’ farmhouse up near Harrogate, spent a couple of summers there as a boy. Lovely country.”
“You said, yeah.”
“Well, it - the house, that is - stayed in the family after the old folks passed away. My parents’re always saying they’d ideally like to move there and leave me the York house in due course, but the place needs some serious tender loving care before then. Anyway, I’ve been thinking my Mum probably wouldn’t mind if I went up there for a couple days, did a bit of dusting and weeding. Only a bit, mind.” Richard chuckles and falls silent for a minute. “So, er… how’s that sound for a getaway?”
Thomas and Richard form a connection during the royal visit and spend one night together. Letters and phone calls follow, but like any pair of new lovers, they hanker for a little privacy. The Ellises' farmhouse in the Yorkshire countryside proves just the ticket.

Summary
"I'm glad," Richard said sincerely. "I'm sorry the night ended on such a horrid note, but I'm not sorry you got to dance with a nice fella. We have to seize our moments when we get them, don't we?"
"That we do."
