[ Carver and his judicious use (and non-use, to remember back to their first dalliance) of his teeth was getting to be a problem, in that Gold was probably not going to get over that anytime soon. But it did give him something concrete that he definitely has thought about, more than once.
That's the trouble, though, other than the fact that telling him that he was worried about him in passing since he left would probably be a mood-killer: What thoughts is he supposed to have? Carver is not the first man he has been with, however brief that encounter was. He knows his role here but that doesn't match up with every impulse he has felt in his presence, does it? How does he explain that he's felt his body wanting but with no experience or real certainty what exactly he burned for?
His lips touch Gold's throat, and his head is empty again. There's a shiver there of uncertainty, like he expects teeth and the flesh is both preparing itself, accepting a king of inevitability that they are not present and that they may be all at once. All the same he tilts his head back, baring more flesh and drawing in a smoother breath. ]
