[ Thankfully for Bren, Essek was well versed in making quick and precise decisions.

[ He had never used one but.. and there came the heart-wrenching thought, of Caleb settled between his legs as he sat on the counter, that bread lathered as he carefully ran the knife against skin-- so careful so as to not knick his husband. Until the end when Caleb's hand caught his and disturbed it ever so slightly until a blossom of red against jawline. His husband had meant for that to happen and then his lips closed over it and he felt the soft tang of blood mingled with soap which still tasted like ambrosia to him. ]
