Undisclosed Desires

Chapter 6

Murdoch was use to the silent sipping of his water and the crinkling of newspaper as he caught up with the rest of the world at the end of his busy day at the station. He however fond he quite enjoyed the company of none other than James Gilles. It had been two days now Gilles was practically living in his apartment and the slight stubble reminded Murdoch how he looked on the train, Murdoch had to admit he preferred him like this.

Gilles told him stories when he was younger when he first learned of his interest in detecting others pressure points, the detective found it quite interesting Gilles opening up to him, but of course Gilles would never admit one thing, when he first killed. Murdoch doubted the professor at his university was the first, the way he had handled it even down to the very last detail had been almost perfect. Not even James Gilles could pull of such a crime without practice.

"You've been very quiet detective, a case giving you trouble? Or perhaps my voice is soothing your soul" Gilles grinned over the cup, familiar urges stirred across Murdoch as he watched Gilles lick his lips.

Only once

That was what he had promised himself

But having Gilles so close memories of their last encounter seemed to invade his thoughts

"I do have a question for you" Murdoch began, Giles inclined his head "you and Mr Perry" Gilles smiled and bit his bottom lip

"Me and Robert? Whatever do you mean Detective?"

"Don't be coy; were you and him an item?"

James chuckled as he saw the detective shift in his chair, James knew he had Murdoch right then, no person woman or man ever questioned another in regards to a previous partner unless they were interested in them. "Yes" Gilles stood and made his way to the bed "me and Robert were an 'item' as you put it, but I knew it wouldn't work out in the end, Robert was convinced it was a faze his fondness for men but I knew better, don't get me wrong I have a fondness for both men and women, I'm quite open like that.

But alas Robert had to end it horribly by tattling on me insuring him a less prison sentence and a safe distance from the hangman's noose as possible"

"Well in his defence we did trick him into believing you were out to kill him"

Gilles chuckled "Yes, yes he did tell me that while he was pleading for his life, but you know the outcome of that"

In fact he did, the image of Perry's headless corpse brought his back to a time where James Gilles was believed to be dead.

"And yet you still killed him?"

Gilles face grew cold "I don't like to be betrayed Murdoch, weather that be under a business arrangement or by a lover"

"Is that a warning to me?"

Gilles grinned "I doubt you could ever betray me Murdoch, your too...loyal" the way he said loyal made it sound like a forbidden word

"Why do you do that?" Murdoch questioned "flirtatiously change the conversation"

Gilles popped some bread into his mouth grinning "what can I say detective" standing up he walked over to the detective, Murdoch noticed he seemed to limp less, Gilles leaned in close to the detective ear, his right hand grasping the detectives neck "your insatiable" Giles bit down on his ear tugging the lobe as he pulled away, feeling the satisfying shiver run across Murdoch's body Gilles kissed Murdoch.

His entire body was stiff; this couldn't happen again, it wouldn't.

With as much might and strength he had Murdoch pushed Gilles off him and Gilles landed on the bed with a grunt he smirked up at the detective "I like where this is going" James commented
