Summary
“It just doesn’t taste right,” your Captain hisses. Her tongue rolls out against her dark lips, gray-teal and hungry. “No sigil, no marks, no brands-- he’s not from any guilds, gangs, or families, he’s not even a goddamn assassin, his hands are all the wrong shape. And yet we caught him in your respite block, trying to steal your signet ring while you slept.”

Summary
Regency romance with mutants. Written in response to this kink meme prompt:
Erik is engaged to Raven due to an arrangement made by their parents.
Charles has no wish other than to see his sister happy. He has no problem with Erik. In fact, he enjoys playing chess with Erik every time he visits. Actually, he enjoys it more than he should.
But Raven is in love with Azazel. And she wants to elope with him.
Charles agrees to detain Erik on the night that Raven and Azazel plan to elope. Since Erik has such a high tolerance for alcohol, Charles has to resort to tying him up in bed. Unfortunately, since Charles is a lightweight, he falls asleep on Erik.
The following night, while Charles is out gambling at his favorite club, Erik makes a wager that is too good to turn down. If Charles loses, however, he has to spend to night with Erik and do whatever Erik wants.
Charles loses the bet.
