[If Dorian had the same awareness of that tethered connection of memory through his blood, he might be more reluctant to share such a personal invasion, afraid for all those fragile moments revealed. Still ignorant, he found his skin prickling at the sharp snap of teeth near that paper-thin patch at his wrist. If nothing else it was a measure of Alucard's self-control. So it did exist. He should be relieved by that.
The conversation veered away his attention, his look of amused disbelief vivid. His hand dropped from Alucard's hair, so that both arms were laid now across his shoulders.]
There's... quite a difference between reading and, well, the practice of doing. Not that I'm one to doubt what might be your... natural instinct.
[Or talent in bed, as the case might be. Dorian was just trying to be realistic. However much he might be wanted, he'd learned to tread carefully with men who had never had experience with other men, as it was such new territory to them. Though this was a special case, as in fact Alucard had never had anyone. The revelation still spun his mind.
Ah, familial reputation. Dorian could relate to that more than he would say, though for different and less murderous reasons.]
Nevertheless. Here you are now. [He dipped his chin forward, lips ghosting along the curve of Alucard's sharp jawline, breath feathery across pale skin as his voice dipped into a darker drawl.] I could give you my mouth, or my tongue, or my hands. I'm known to be rather skillful with them, if you'd like the demonstration.
