A dual-purpose triple drabble, written for the [livejournal.com profile] sharpe_thinking prompt table, prompt #22, and for the August challenge for [livejournal.com profile] whither_then.

John Lavisser is a character from the book Sharpe's Prey. He's half-Danish, angular, blue-eyed. Feel free to imagine whomever you please; I tend to imagine a half-Danish fellow named Viggo. :)








Had Richard Sharpe been asked, he would have assumed that John Lavisser’s hands would be soft, the pampered hands of an aristocrat, protectively sheathed in kid and bathed thrice daily in cream. He was surprised, therefore, to discover that the whispering touch of Lavisser’s fingertips down the length of Sharpe’s naked thigh was roughened by callus.

Sharpe flinched and struggled, but the leather reins that held him lashed to the saddle block were too secure to dislodge. His toes scarcely brushed the sawdust-strewn wooden floor; his muscles trembled with the effort of holding himself upright. He snarled at Lavisser through the lace-trimmed silk handkerchief wadded into his mouth and held in place with a metal bit and reins that smelled of horse.

“Come now, Richard. Quench that fire in your eyes. I promise I’ll only keep you here for a short while. What if I vowed I wouldn’t allow the Frogs to lay a hand on you? Hm?” Lavisser stroked Sharpe’s backside, briefly cupping its lower curve. “You’re sweating. You needn’t be afraid of me.”

The contrast between the gentleness of Lavisser’s caresses and the faint, abrasive scrape of his fingers maddened Sharpe. He writhed on the block, slipping on the sweat-slicked leather of the saddle, but his frenzied thrashing was inadequate to free himself. Lavisser’s hands carefully, stealthily insinuated themselves between his legs and stopped.

“Oh, Richard...I might have guessed.” Lavisser leaned down, bringing his lips close to Sharpe’s ear. “This isn’t quite as objectionable as you pretend, is it?” His hand drifted, brushing softly over Sharpe’s backside, curling round his cock. “Liberate those trapped sensations, Richard. They’re holding you prisoner, not I.”

Sharpe closed his eyes, shutting out the triumph on Lavisser’s angular face. He wouldn’t give in, not if Lavisser killed him.

But oh, those roughened hands....



End.

Heh, am much amused that fondling ass and cock is not the worst that can happen...oh, no, Lassiver could kiss him!

OMG, I misread that!!! And put in a kiss rather than a kill!

Well, what that says about me, I dare not speculate.

There is nothing that Lavisser could do that would make Richard hate him more than to take such an advantage. A bitter little scene but powerful.

Oh, absolutely, I agree - nothing at all. Thank you so much for commenting!

Yes; a Sharpie! O am so pleasantly surprised! What a delicious scene you have put inside my mind...

“Liberate those trapped sensations, Richard. They’re holding you prisoner, not I. So very true and what a great line.

He snarled at Lavisser through the lace-trimmed silk handkerchief wadded into his mouth and held in place with a metal bit and reins that smelled of horse. OMG...

Eee, I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you, thank you. And it's a great treat to read Lavisser, because he really could be a Viggo avatar. Yummy. Thank you again!

Oh guh... that is just too hot, the struggling - against bonds and giving in, mmmm. And the way Lavisser speaks and his gentle touch. Of course he'll give in, eventually :P
Thank you!

:D I'm so pleased you liked it. I admit it was all about the image. And I imagine he'll give in soon enough. :D Thank you!!

Well, a strange encounter on a good day, I'm thinkin'--well writ and clear, passion running under the enforced silence on one hand and simple words on the other was evident and oddly enough, I got the sensation of pulsing, or waves coming to shore, a rhythmic motion whichever...

Oh, thank you so much! I'm always conscious of cadence, so I'm really pleased you mentioned that. I appreciate it! :D

I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you very much. And yes, I'd noticed you haven't been around - actually went to your LJ a couple of days ago just to see if you'd posted. It's nice to see you again.

Dangerously seductive Lavisser and Sharpe trapped and riding the edge. Beautifully erotic and powerful. Clever also how you have turned the title round and now Sharpe is the prey. You have created an incredible image that haunts the mind. Wonderful - many thanks.

Soft voice, rough hands - a perfect recipe for mayhem.
Thank you, better late than never. : )
