"Buy me something pretty and pay special attention to me, that's how you'd make me happy. As for you..." Avery grinned a little. "You have no idea how many ways I could make you cum without fucking you. I'd be very willing to enlighten you, let's just say that."

He could smell Leon's skin as the boy moved closer; all bodywash and aftershave. "Why would I be surprised? It's not as though you try to make people think that you're all sweetness and light, is it? I'm sure you can be an utter bastard when you need to be. And I do terrible things every day. Perhaps we should do terrible things together and make our acts even more terrible."

Avery's eyes lit up. Journals from a real dark wizard! His life and his hexes captured on paper! His own father had never bothered writing things down, had never considered that his son might one day hold an interest in his dark dealings. How exciting! "He gave them to you? Why? Have you read them? What does he say?"
