[It's always about him, between them. His wants, his needs, his commands. He dictates and Tseng obeys no matter the cost, no matter what it takes to carry out his will, and what could be a more crystal-clear example of that than the way he looks right now? Every answer he gives is perfect, correct to a fault. He sets aside his own wants and substitutes Rufus's in their place, even when he's asked for them, even when it's offered in an outstretched palm and all he has to do is snatch at it.
It makes him think all of a sudden — as he folds one elegant leg over the other knee and leans back a little on the desktop, the very graven image of the king of all he sees — that what he wants is to spoil Tseng in a manner that Tseng would never allow himself. Spoil him like he would spoil Darkstar, put a chain collar on him and wrap it about his fingers.
Tseng knows what he belongs to, who he belongs to. Rufus wants to revel in it.]
No, no. You're not getting off that easily.
[If he means it as a double entendre, it's a smooth and playfully cruel one. He stretches out one arm, expansively, beckoning Tseng to eliminate the respectful distance between them and come close enough to touch.]
I want specifics.
[I want you, says every bit of him except his lips themselves.]
