A dual-purpose triple drabble, written for the

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.
