A warm simper crossed the boy's features as his lover gave into his request. His bright blue eyes remained settled upon Henry as he pulled off his t-shirt and underwear, Sterling entirely willing to simply enjoy the show he was given before his lover joined him in the bath. He hardly protested as Henry pulled him against his chest, the man quite content as he laid nestled within Henry's arms. There was no denying that there was something altogether romantic about this. It was a getaway just for them and, so far, Henry had been nothing but the perfect gentleman. It was a rarity, from what he remembered and that alone made this singular moment all the more important to him. Henry was making such efforts just for him. It was hardly lost on Sterling. The soft press of Henry's lips against his collarbone was enough to produce a warm simper upon the man's features, his head shifting so that he was able to watch his lover from the corner of his vision as Henry continued his downward trail for several moments longer. It wasn't until the man pulled back that Sterling turned to present his lover with a questioning glimpse.
Sterling hardly expected the words that fell from Henry's mouth, his eyebrows rising quite abruptly in the process. That look of surprise was altogether impossible to hide as he questioned immediately, "Really?" Sterling hadn't expected something quite like this. Lord only knew how much that yacht had cost his lover to take them from New York all the way back to Sacrosanct. "You didn't have to do that Henry." He stated simply and yet, he hardly wanted his lover to think he was ungrateful or didn't like it when the truth was entirely the opposite. "I can't wait to see it. I bet it'll be fun." The boy continued, entirely unaware of exactly what Henry had planned and yet, an inkling of his own was beginning to filter through his mind. It was time, he decided, to cement this relationship into exactly what it was. He wanted Henry to stay his and he was more willing to commit himself entirely to the man in an effort to prove that.
