Summary
It had started with the same kind of wounded complexity as each step in their intimacy together. Essek had returned from his wanderings to their little house in Rexxentrum. His nerves had been raw, and he had felt frantic and alone and drifting. In a moment of boldness, he'd asked Caleb to hurt him.
Caleb had, understandably, been aghast. Essek had taken a deep breath, had clutched his trembling hands together, had confessed that there had always been days when pain was the only thing that drew him out of his head, that centered him in his body. That he was not asking Caleb to harm him, but asking him to share in some deep part of Essek that was raw and intimate as it was taboo.
