He doesn't have to work very hard at staying in Ereuvir's lap because Ereuvir puts his hands on him immediately, first sliding warm and slightly covetous up his sides and then one wound more warmly around his hips, seating him more firmly there. The opposite curls almost delicately around his throat, tugging it back a little and baring it, but not with any intent to cut off breathing. His voice is low and warm but dark, sinister,
"I am the Lord of the Underworld. Ruler and... reformer of all of the wicked souls of this earth. I control everything in this land absolutely. And you would presume to suggest warming my bed so casually? Have you no sense of self preservation, or are you simply unaware that you can still feel pain, can still be tortured, here, but here, there is no death to end it."
Neither his tone, nor the way that he's holding him make it particularly clear whether he is talking of being tortured because he's taking offense or tortured because that's what warming his bed entails. Truthfully, he wants him to wonder. He continues to be curious what makes this beautiful young man tick. Something must frighten him and while Ereuvir doesn't necessarily want to scare him, he does want to know what that is.
