If there was one thing Sharpe was a dab hand at, it was keeping up a proper front, as good as any gentle-born officer.

He’d displayed no emotion to the Frogs who’d captured him; he’d sneered at the bastards who'd pushed, shoved, and kicked him all the way to a filthy, dung-smelling cell.

But now he knelt bound on the damp, chill floor of a French encampment. Pierre Ducos delicately touched Sharpe’s cheek in a mocking parody of tenderness, and then smiled at what he saw.

Ducos, it was rumored, had a reputation.

For Christ’s sake, Pat, he thought. Hurry.

Hee hee! It's so nice when canon [tv canon, anyway] actually cooperates with one's kink-laden fantasies. :D

Eee, thank you! Ducos didn't seem to care for feminine company much, and he certainly stared at Sharpe a lot. ;D I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you for saying so. :)

Pierre Ducos delicately touched Sharpe’s cheek in a mocking parody of tenderness, and then smiled at what he saw.

This is so scary, after reading about Sharpe being able to keep up a front! And I can imagine it too, Ducos was kind of frightening, nothing really affected him, did it :-/
Thank you!

Ducos struck me as decidedly creepy, what with his smiles and scary vendetta. Thank you! :)
