Chapter Text
The knock on the door came quicker than Enjolras expected. He drained his glass and pulled his tie loose. He opened the door and smirked at the sight before him. The young man was leaning against the doorframe, his red wool cap pushed back to reveal a shock of black curly hair.
"You ordered a date?"
"That's a hell of a way to put it."
He moved aside to let the man in, he watched him walk through the room, taking in his surroundings,
"Nice room. You come here often?"
Enjolras shut the door and lent against it.
"When business calls for it."
The young man nodded and dropped his rucksack on the floor before pulling his jacket off.
"What kind of business?"
Enjolras pushed away from the door and walked to the table where the bottle of whiskey sat. He poured himself another glass and gestured it to the man who nodded.
"I'm a lawyer."
The young man smirked,
"What?"
"Nothing it's just, you don't look like most of the lawyers I'm sent to."
He passed the glass to the man who raised it in a toast before draining it in one. Enjolras smirked and did the same to his.
"How do the other lawyers look?"
The man looked around him again, taking in the books on the table, the jacket slung over the chair. The whiskey on the side.
"Mostly old, fat.......ugly."
Enjolras lifted an eyebrow,
"Shall I take that as a compliment?"
The man looked over his shoulder and smirked.
"Payment is in advance."
Enjolras nodded as he pulled a wad of money from his pocket and held it out.
"300 right?"
The man nodded and took it from him, as their fingers brushed he stopped and looked at Enjolras properly. Something shifted inside him and he stuffed the money in his pocket quickly to hide anything that may have shown on his face.
Enjolras swallowed hard, he wasn't expecting someone as...intriguing as this man. He wanted to know everything about this boy that had turned up.
The man came close to him, he leaned up so close Enjolras could smell the alcohol on his breath.
"Where do you want me?"
Enjolras swallowed hard, the man’s fingers trailed up his arm then disappeared as he pulled his hat off.
"I don't..."
The man smiled and grabbed Enjolras' tie. He pulled him over to a chair and pushed him in it. Enjolras sat with a thump; the man straddled him and leant in close.
"How about I take charge?"
Enjolras nodded; the man trailed his lips over Enjolras' face, leading up to his ear and taking the soft lobe into his mouth and biting it. Enjolras' eyes fluttered shut and his hands found the man’s waist. He whispered breathlessly,
"What's your name?"
The man chuckled lightly,
"I don't tell anyone that"
"I need to call you something."
The man ran his hands over Enjolras' arms,
"Want something to shout out later?"
"You could put it like that."
"You can call me R."
"R?"
The man smirked,
"It's all you're getting."
Enjolras nodded,
"I guess you can call me E then."
"E it is."
R stood up and undid his shirt slowly; Enjolras shifted in his seat he picked up the remote and clicked the stereo on. R smirked,
"You want me to dance for you?"
"I want you to go slow."
R ran his fingers over the exposed skin on his chest and undid the last buttons; he let the shirt drop to floor and ran his hand over his stomach, dipping into the waistband of his jeans before undoing the top button. He turned around and kicked off his boots. He unzipped his jeans and looked over his shoulder at Enjolras who was watching him like a hawk. He breathed slowly and let his jeans fall to the ground. He kicked them away and put his thumbs in the top of his underwear, moving his hips around in a circle.
"Wait."
He looked over his shoulder again to see Enjolras stand up and walk over to him. He smirked and let Enjolras run his fingers over his shoulders and down his back. Enjolras turned him around and began running fingers over his chest, down his stomach to his crotch. He ran his finger over the bulge and looked back to his face. R grabbed his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. Enjolras kissed him hard, pushing him back toward the wall. R pulled away and began undoing Enjolras' shirt buttons. Enjolras shook it off his shoulders and unzipped his trousers. R began to drop to his knees,
"No."
He stood up and raised his eyebrows. Enjolras ran his finger over r's jawline,
"Turn around."
R obeyed; he put both hands on the wall and let his head drop. He heard Enjolras behind him stripping his trousers off and turned his head to see him walk to the bathroom; he swallowed at the sight of his naked body and turned back to the wall. He closed his eyes and started when he felt hands pulling his underwear off.
"I am going to fuck that sweet ass for hours."
R shivered slightly. This was his job, he had heard these things a thousand times but there was something about this man that made those words sound brand new and exciting.
He turned his head and gasped as Enjolras began to slip his fingers inside him, curling them upward to make his knees quake,
"Don't need to worry there E. Already done that for you."
He smirked as he said the words and Enjolras chuckled,
"You are good at what you do."
He pulled his fingers away and positioned himself, he leant in and placed a kiss at the base of R's neck before pushing in,
"Put your hands above your head."
R complied, breathing shallowly as he tried not to thrust back and take all of Enjolras in one move. Enjolras grabbed R's hands and held them in place whilst his other hand held his waist. Then he began to thrust in and out; slowly at first before speeding up, grunting with each move. His fingers tightened around R's and he had to steady himself so as not to push in too hard and hurt the man; he might be paying for it but he wanted them both to be pleasured. He grunted again and pulled out,
"Turn around. Wanna see you."
R spun around, Enjolras put his arms above his head once again and lifted his leg at the thigh so it wrapped around his waist then pushed back in and resumed the rhythm. R had his head back against the wall and was moaning; sweat dripping down his face onto his collarbone where Enjolras met it with his lips, he licked the drip away and led a trail up R's throat to his jaw. He bit down and thrust upwards at the same time.
"Agh fuck. No marking me."
Enjolras smirked against the stubble on R's jawline and thrust upwards hard, digging his fingers into the soft flesh of R's hips. His fingers entangled with Enjolras' and when he opened his eyes he saw Enjolras staring at him, he smiled and moaned as Enjolras began to hit that spot inside him.
"Fuck you feel good."
R cried out and let his head fall forward. Enjolras caught his mouth in a kiss that made R's head feel weightless. He had never had this with a client before. He didn't want the night to end, even as he was thinking it though he felt his stomach tighten; pulling away from the kiss he muttered breathlessly,
"Better slow down if you wanna last for hours."
Enjolras smirked again, his own face glistening with sweat,
"Gonna make you come more than once."
R groaned deeply and twisted his fingers tighter around Enjolras'. His breath began to quicken and it was with a cry that he came hard, shooting his load onto their stomachs, Enjolras couldn't help himself, he wasn't even thinking as he let go of R's finger to smear the come and bring his fingers to his lips, he sucked them clean, pulling another groan from R that made him shake as he tried to keep from coming himself. R shook his head slightly,
"Sorry, usually- Agh- don’t come that quick"
His fingers were now digging into Enjolras' shoulders, his body shaking from the aftermath of the orgasm and the thrusts that Enjolras was still maintaining.
"Don't sweat it, not done yet."
Enjolras groaned and pulled out again. R's leg dropped shakily and he smirked.
"Get on the bed."
He saluted the blonde man and walked awkwardly to the bed. He climbed on it and looked behind him, the sight made his spent cock twitch again. There was E, eyelids hooded, stroking himself and watching him. R turned back to the bed and gripped the sheets. He lifted his ass in the air and closed his eyes. He was not prepared to enjoy this. He was used to being fucked, humiliated, used, but never before had he been turned on by it. This was a means to an end for him, a way to make money. Not feel like he was on a date. His mind was racing so much he never felt E get in the bed behind him; instead it was the smack on his leg that brought him back to the room.
"I said roll over."
R cleared his throat,
"Yes sir."
He rolled on his back and opened his legs; Enjolras lay on top of him and re-entered him. He dipped down for another kiss as R wrapped his arms around his neck and his legs around his waist. Enjolras picked up his pace; thrusting hard with every breath. R felt himself become hard again, the friction of their stomachs making it easy for him to get close to orgasm once again. He tangled his fingers in the blonde hair and leaned in to suck in E's earlobe once again.
It didn't take long until they were moving in unison, their moans filling the room. Enjolras kissed R hard and came with a shudder; R followed shortly after, his fingers digging into Enjolras' back. Enjolras broke away and pulled out. He lay back on the bed and rubbed his face. R chuckled lightly.
"Definitely not like the other lawyers I see."
Enjolras turned and looked at him; he was taken by the man beside him. He wanted nothing more than to lay there talking to him, finding out every single detail about him. But instead he watched him sit up and then leave the bed. He watched him pick up his underwear and pull it back on.
"Leaving already?"
R turned to him,
"You got more plans for me?"
Enjolras ran his hand through his hair,
"We could talk."
R smirked,
"I don't really talk to my clients."
"I thought I wasn't like your other clients."
R watched him for a moment then grinned,
"Not sure you can afford my conversation."
Enjolras sat up and covered himself with the sheet,
"If you stay the night I’ll give you three thousand."
R froze for a moment,
"Do I look like Julia Roberts to you?"
Enjolras frowned,
"What?"
R shook his head,
"Why do you wanna talk to me so bad?"
Enjolras shrugged,
"Is it so weird?"
"A little."
"Do you want the money or not."
R faltered, the idea of all the money excited him, but the idea of spending several hours with this man made his stomach flip hard.
"If you kill me, people will find out. They know where I am."
Enjolras laughed loudly; R was certain it was the most beautiful thing he'd ever heard; he smiled and rubbed his face.
"I have no plans of hurting you in any way. I just wanna get to know you."
R made his way back to the bed and sat back down. Enjolras touched his arm lightly,
"It's okay you can relax."
'No I can't, you're making me feel like a teenager again' R thought, but replied,
"Yeah. Okay let's talk."
He sat opposite Enjolras and stretched his legs out. Enjolras placed a hand on his shin and R swallowed hard. Enjolras looked at him for a moment, taking in his face.
"How long have you been doing this?"
"Two years now."
"Is it all you do?"
"No I'm uh....I'm in art school."
"Wow. So why do this?"
"School costs money."
Enjolras nodded,
"What kind of art?"
"Whatya mean?"
"I mean, do you paint? Draw? Sculpt?"
"Oh uhm...draw mostly but working with paints more."
R scratched his neck and looked around the room, Enjolras' fingers were making his skin tingle and he was trying to focus on conversing and not attacking those lips again.
"What about you?"
"What about me?"
"What kind if lawyer are you?"
"A boring one."
R chuckled; the sound sent a shiver down Enjolras' back,
"So divorce lawyer?"
"Oh lord no. Not that boring. I do big cases: an equal right, CEO’s who are being sued. That kind of thing."
"Ever do pro bono?"
"Why you need a lawyer?"
"Not yet."
Enjolras smiled again,
"Sometimes I do. I tend to charge what I think they can afford."
"Like how?"
Enjolras sat up more, he moved his hand from R's leg and R had to cover his disappointment with a cough,
"If it's a fat cat CEO then I’ll charge up to say 500 an hour. If it’s a single parent who's losing their home then I’ll do it for free."
"What would you charge me?"
Enjolras smiled at him,
"I wouldn't charge you a penny."
R blushed slightly and mentally kicked himself. He looked around him again.
"Got any family?"
R looked at him,
"That's getting a bit personal."
"Sorry."
They sat in silence for a moment. Then R spoke up,
"No siblings. Two parents though. Not too sure they're thrilled with my life choices."
Enjolras looked at him closely.
"Same here. No siblings. Just parents who have more money than sense."
R looked at the man before him, he felt his heart flutter slightly and he reached out and touched E's leg.
"Do you like your job?"
"Mmhmm. It's fine. I mean you see the darkest side of people sometimes but..."
"Someone has to save the world."
"Yeah...something like that."
R looked at his hands; he felt so strange sitting there with this man. He wanted to say the right things so badly. His mind was racing to find the next thing to say,
"I have an idea."
Enjolras looked up at him. R scooted close to him and placed a hand on either side of his face.
"Close your eyes."
"Why?"
"Just....do it."
Enjolras sighed and shut his eyes.
"In gonna say a word and you say the first thing that pops into your mind okay?"
Enjolras smiled,
"Sure."
R shifted slightly and allowed himself a few moments to feel the warm skin under his fingertips.
"Okay. Dog."
"Cat."
"Sleep"
"Easy"
R smirked,
"Sex"
"Necessary"
"Love"
"Hopeless."
"Work"
"Life"
"Death"
"Freedom"
R stopped for a moment and watched the man’s face. Enjolras slowly opened one eye and looked at R.
"Money."
"Movement"
"Family"
"History"
"Friends"
"Love"
"You"
".....lonely"
"Me"
"Perfect"
R let his hands drop and Enjolras opened his eyes, the two stared at each other in silence then Enjolras cleared his throat,
"Just a game. Don't take heed of what I say."
R nodded; but the word had struck him. 'Perfect'. And god how he wanted that moment to be real, he wanted this man to look at him and mean that. He felt himself grow hot and shifted back to the other side of the bed.
"Why did you call for me? You don't seem like the kind of man that needs to buy his dates."
Enjolras sniffed,
"I don't exactly go out and look for people. I'm working nearly constantly so dating is kind of....pointless."
"Doesn't it get lonely?"
"Hence why I called you."
R felt his heart tighten, he couldn't bear the idea of this man being lonely. He didn't even know his name and he wanted to keep him safe. He knew he was in trouble.
"How long are you in town for?"
"Three days"
R twisted the sheet around his fingers,
"I'm here if you need...company at any point."
Enjolras smiled.
"Thank you....R."
R smirked.
"Do you enjoy this R?"
"Talking to you?"
"This job."
R thought for a moment.
"I like the money. I like being able to do something I'm good at....but it's not my dream job"
"What would that be?"
"I dunno....something arty I guess."
"Would you wanna teach?"
"Nooo. Not got the patience for that."
Enjolras laughed again, R decide then that he could live off that laugh, he could bottle it and sell it and make a million.
"What about in your spare time, what do you do?"
R shrugged,
"Read I guess. I like music."
"What kind?"
"All kinds, music is art. It needs to be appreciated. Do you like music?"
"Sure."
"Any other Info you wanna divulge there?"
Enjolras thought for a moment,
"I like classic rock."
"You mean like Black Sabbath?"
"More like....van Morrison I guess."
R nodded,
"How old are you R?"
"21."
"You're but a child still."
"How old are you?"
"23"
"How the hell are you a successful lawyer at 23?!"
"I didn't have a childhood, I had school. Then college, then law school."
"Sounds....fun"
"It wasn't. Guess it’s why I indulge in such....questionable activities now."
R smiled,
"What else do you do in your spare time?"
Enjolras thought for a moment,
"I don't know."
R raised his eyebrows,
"How do you not know?"
"Don't have a lot of free time."
"That's kinda sad."
"I am well compensated for my time."
They sat in silence for a few moments; the stereo in the other room was still playing quietly and Enjolras was tapping the beat on R's leg.
"You know for someone who's paying a lot to converse you're not very chatty."
Enjolras smirked at R,
"Maybe it's not all about deep conversations, maybe it's just about..."
"Having someone near?"
".....yeah"
R looked at him for a moment and moved over to him, he straddled his lap and kissed him gently. Enjolras was startled. He took R's face in his hands and kissed him back. R was the first to break the kiss with a smile,
"That was free of charge."
Enjolras smiled,
"Very generous of you sir."
R remained in the spot, watching the man’s face as he stroked the soft hair that hung down by his ear; he felt his stomach flip when Enjolras ran his thumb across his cheek and over his bottom lip. It was as though someone had thrown cold water over him; he backed up and rolled off him. Enjolras sat for a moment in confusion, his own stomach clenching hard as he realised what the moment had meant. He cleared his throat and climbed out of the bed. He walked over to his own discarded underwear and pulled them on. R couldn't look at him. Didn't dare to, he was kicking himself for the kiss. It was his number one rule- never open up with a client; never let them get in your head. But this man was different, R found himself wishing he wasn't a client, that he was just a man he had met and taken home. His face grew hot and he covered it with his hands.
"You okay?"
He sniffed and nodded.
"Fine, tired."
"Can I get you anything?"
R shook his head and ran shaky fingers through his hair.
"I can order you food if you want; room service is pretty good here."
R was going to shake his head again when he thought about it, food would provide a distraction, and maybe it was hunger that was making his stomach clench and not the man he was with.
"Ok, yeah food."
Enjolras nodded and grabbed the menu,
"Pick whatever you want; company pays for all this so don’t worry."
R raised an eyebrow,
"Company paying for me too?"
Enjolras smirked,
"Oh yeah, you're my Christmas bonus."
R giggled and relaxed slightly,
"Think you got screwed over there."
Enjolras laughed,
"I'll be sure to bring it up in the next meeting."
"I think it's for the best that they know."
Enjolras sat at the end of the bed and lent over for the phone, R paid no attention to the paper in his hand, just stared at the expanse of skin before him, he wanted to taste every last inch of that golden canvas. He swallowed hard as images of him laying kisses everywhere filled his mind. He didn't even notice Enjolras looking over at him, just kept staring. He licked his bottom lip and reached out, his fingers trailed up Enjolras back, and into his hair, Enjolras touched his fingers and bought them to his lips; kissing each one individually, he met R's eyes,
"Is this still part of the deal?"
R nodded,
"Need to give you your money's worth."
The menu fell to the floor as the two sank into a deep kiss.
The room was still dark as R sat on the edge of the bed and watched the man sleep. His heart was fluttering as he watched the steady rise and fall of his chest,
"God you're beautiful."
He ached to say the words out loud, to run his fingers through that blonde hair and kiss those red lips. He longed to wake up wrapped in those arms forever. But he couldn't. He knew he couldn't. So instead he silently got up a collected his things, pocketing the envelope full of cash that E had slipped to him before he fell asleep, and left the room.
The journey home was horrible, he sat on the train and stared at nothing, ignoring the happy couple two seats down from him giggling and kissing. God how he hated them, he hated everyone who was in bed with someone they loved, hated those who would be waking up in the arms of a lover, a lover who wouldn't be paying them. He hated his job at that moment. Hated how he had to turn off and ignore every fibre of his being that was crying out to go back to that hotel room, back to those arms, back to E. he rubbed his face and got off at the next stop, it wasn't his but he didn't care, he needed air- he needed a drink, he needed something to get that man from his mind. He climbed from the underground and walked through the steadily filling streets.
