“You may do as you wish.”

“As I wish? I haven’t dared wish. I have prayed, in my weakest moments, and I have mindlessly coveted, but I haven’t dared to wish.”

a Laurent x Damen time slip romance | read now on AO3

On holiday with his brother in Ios, Laurent bathes in a hot spring. Unfortunately, he drowns. Even more unfortunately, when he surfaces somehow, he finds himself thrust back in time. Dropped into the middle of a mythologised ancient war for the Akielon throne, he is determined to get back to the modern day - even after ending up kidnapped (or perhaps rescued) by the rightful King, Damianos.

XIX. In which Laurent loses his faculties

“You say it is within my power to make an order and expect obedience. Here it is, then: you will accept what I offer to you, in the time we have left to us. And you will stop allowing anticipation and expectation of what is yet to come to influence the way you are with me.” Laurent swallows, the smouldering of his anger alchemising into something completely different even as he looks down at Damen where he still kneels. As though recognising the shift, Damen stands, and plants one hand on the table’s surface, the other curling over the back of the chair. Laurent is forced into craning up to maintain the eye contact. His knees unconsciously part, inviting Damen to step between them.

“Anything else?”

“You will voice whatever it is that you are holding back on, so that I may do it.”
