“It is open!” Henri’s richly accented voice called from somewhere deep within the flat. Feeling rather like a burglar, Rahul pressed down on the handle and let himself in.

Once inside, he couldn’t help but chuckle. The flat was dim, the windows shuttered against the final, failing rays of evening light. The only illumination came from the numerous candles set around the flat in everything from ashtrays to glasses to jam jars. They cast the one-room flat in a gauzy, golden light that gave everything a dreamlike quality. Rahul pushed aside thoughts of what a horrific fire hazard it was long enough to be thoroughly charmed by it. He knew romantic gestures like this were cheesy and gauche, but, as someone who’d never had the pleasure of being on the receiving end of any romantic gestures, cheesy or otherwise, he couldn’t help feeling profoundly moved.

As he was taking off his coat, Henri appeared in the doorway of the bedroom. Rahul had half-expected him to appear wearing nothing at all. But he clearly knew Rahul and his very British and Indian-ingrained prudishness better than Rahul had realised, because he chose instead to wear a very flattering pair of tight black trousers and a shirt unbuttoned nearly to his navel. With his mop of curls dishevelled and falling into his eyes, Rahul had to admit he cut a very sexy figure indeed.

Instead of speaking, Henri merely smirked and crooked two fingers in invitation before disappearing back into the bedroom. Rahul nearly tripped over his own feet in his haste to follow him.
