This was how he liked Edmond. Not serving on his hands and knees... although he wouldn't mind that (especially Edmond in a butler outfit but now he was just getting crazy), but more subdued. His husband talking wasn't the issue... his husband talking loudly and freaking out was. He shivered at the kiss on the neck. That felt amazing.

"Mm..." He thought for a moment. "...Just a little bit more on the back. Five more minutes, Edmond?" Right now, he was soft. He was gentle. He wasn't shouting at everyone, and the entire mansion returned to peace and quiet.
