All of this affection grabs at him, takes his heart in both hands and wrings it silly with the love in him for the Earl. That Astre would let him be so close, that the boy would willingly come to him for anything after everything that he'd been through... Sometimes it seemed too good to be true. But what sat in the circle of his arms couldn't be denied.
Those lips pressed the soft and sensitive and scarred skin of his neck don't go unnoticed. He would like to turn his head and nuzzle Astre back. Instead, he holds his head still, allowing Astre to continue, and trails a palm down against the teen's exposed thigh down toward the knee.
"You flatter me, my lord." Oh, how he wanted to kiss those sweet lips. But no, he held back, letting Astre set the pace as he wanted. For now. "That I inspire you so honors me. I should show you how much it means to me that you would hold me in such high regard."
And there, he paused, giving a soft him in thought. "But what to do? There's the question."
Slowly, the hand on Astre's knee begins to trail back up that thigh.
