The kiss from Helen was sweet, and Alcuin parted his lips instinctively and leaned into it, and then when Xander's lips were offered to him as well, he opened himself up even farther to it. Desire sparked inside him.

He was, in truth, unsure as to why they were making this offer, and he hoped that it was in the spirit of desire, and love, and not pity. But unsure thought he was, he could not find it in himself to question.

"It would honor me to join your bed," he said softly when the kiss with Xander broke.
