Summary
“What do you want to do to me?” Alex asks, her voice soft and low. She brings her damp palms up and presses them to his chest, leaving traces of water and heat against his skin. “Kill me?” She cocks an eyebrow. “Fuck me?” A faint smirk touches her lips. “Maybe both?”

Summary
Cesare has done the unforgiveable: fratricide. Thinking this a necessary act, he considers himself unchanged - but the aftermath of this Borgia death causes years of tension and repressed feelings within Cesare to come to the surface, and prove that he does not have the control he thinks he has, either over his family, or himself. This story is a mix of history and Showtimes' The Borgias, told from the perspective of an ambitious, ruthless young man who has to decide how much he's willing to sacrifice for those he loves. A prequel to La Morte Borgia - Lucrezia.

Summary
Mercy had been there earlier, empty porcelain teacups and a candy wrapper all that’s left of their study session. The moment she’d left, Darlington had slid from his unobtrusive position at the far corner desk right to the floor, into the largest square of unbroken sunlight. He’s still there, and looks like he’s sleeping: belly-up and arm behind his head, one long finger caught near the end of a book of 19th century poetry stolen from Alex’s workpile.
