  • Lamb wants things
  • Lamb shouldn’t want things or so he thinks
  • I don’t think River would agree with him about the “shouldn’t”
  • I certainly don’t

  Summary

  • River Cartwright
  • Jackson Lamb (Slow Horses)
  • POV First Person
  • This time it's River's thoughts
  • First Kiss
  • Power Dynamics
  • Light power dynamics honestly
  • And certainly not in the direction I was thinking of when I started imagining this sequel
  • Lamb is very much into River but he's also trying to protect him
  • River is very much into Lamb but he's also an idiot so he just goes for it
  • Definitely not that explicit
  • More thinking than doing
  • If you want the porn version feel free to take this story and create a new version
  • I have a bit of a soft spot for vulnerable-Lamb
  • sue me
  • The River that lives in my head surprises me sometimes

  Summary

  Two weeks pass before River confronts Lamb about that moment. Two weeks: enough to learn some inconvenient truths and make at least one irreversible mistake.
