    Summary

    Astarion and Tav have a mutually beneficial arrangement: Tav feeds his need to feel in control and, in return, Astarion makes the nasty voices in her head go away. This night is no different.

    He is definitely, surely not falling in love with her...

    Summary

    Astarion turned to leave when Raphael spoke. “Yes, my dear Vampire Ascendant, you did vex me greatly throughout this deal, and I’d have slaughtered you for it were it not for the possibility of this exact outcome. You delivered to me my reign, and I will not forget it. Besides, you should be proud—you went against a devil and negotiated the most balanced contract I believe has ever been created in the history of the hells. Really, you thought of ALMOST everything.”

    Astarion froze.

    Raphael laughed. “Don’t worry, little vampire, you’ll get your beloved back, and you’ll have the opportunity to make her fall in love with you again. I will deliver everything that was promised. But my dear Astarion, you forgot one thing…you didn’t say when….”

    Astarion turned with a snarl, but before he could take a single step, he had been transported out of the House of Hope in a haze of brimstone, and the last he heard of Raphael was the devil’s devious laughter.

    Summary

    “I don’t know,” Astarion said, speaking as deliberately as possible, “what I have done to deserve such deception. But nobody has ever tried to fake an orgasm with me. Not ever.”
