"You sure have some weird ideas, but I don't mind," Hervey told the young man as he finished the bindings. He had Lucas tied to the bed by now, the army leader's wrist secured to the bedposts. His ankles were tied as well, although leaving some space for movement considering what they were planning on doing.

Lucas tugged the ropes carefully then nodded. "Just do as I asked," he said. He sure hadn't needed much effort to talk Hervey into tying him up, seeing the pirate was quite into it the moment he realized there would be sex, and Lucas would be willing. "The scarf?"

"Oh yeah, this," the older man replied, picking up a scarf from the nearby table and tying it over Lucas' eyes. "Done. You comfortable? Let's get to business then!"

The pirate sounded quite cheerful, and Lucas smiled just a little. "Before you start," he said, relaxing against the sheets. "I'll have to ask if you know what this is about."

Hervey shrugged, not that his younger companion had seen him do so. "So you're into bondage. Didn't know you had such interests, but hey, I'm all for it!" He pulled his shirt off and moved to work on his pants while admiring Lucas' naked body. "You do look quite pretty like that."

"It's about trust," the young army leader cut in.

"Huh?"

"Just remember this much... I let you do this," Lucas said. "So make it worth it. If I trust you enough to give myself to you, then you..." He trailed off and closed his eyes, waiting for the older man to do something.

Hervey stared at his partner for a moment, then took a deep breath. He suddenly remembered something Sigurd had once said about him being too eager to do things, and there Lucas was now, tied up and...

"...Damn you. You really make me work for this sometimes, don't you?" He noted as he sat on the rim of the bed, placing his hand onto the youth's face slowly. As much as he wanted to get on with this, this was going to require patience that he often lacked.

Lucas simply smiled as an answer.
