I started literally squealing at one's social standing was based upon how many invitations one could reject, not how many parties one attended.
Other lines I loved:
He had never been drawn to brawn. He had never seen such exquisite beauty on a boy before. High cheekbones, lips as full and plump as ripe strawberries and hair so dark it was almost violet rather than black. The boy was short, coming up to Severus' chest, or maybe his shoulder if the pet stood on tiptoes. His dark hair was messy and windblown, as if he'd just that moment stepped off a broom or tumbled out of someone's bed. Ooooo, what a delicious description!
"He's never served before," said Caldwell. "He lived with his parents until they were killed over six months ago, but they left debts. He was claimed as property by the creditors and sold." I love the set up. It's so good it makes me shiver!
Blushing, Harry sank to his knees, feeling a strange heat coil low down in his belly as he did so. Yum, yum, yum. Always my favorite precursor to full-blown arousal. ;)
Above him, his Master hissed with pleasure and caressed Harry's hair, making Harry feel an odd sensation in the pit of his stomach at such a tender gesture. Oh, again, the image is so lovely and vivid!
OMG the sex! The boot-licking! OMGOMGOMG! So hot! I think my screen just steamed up!
The boy atop him was wild; writhing and gasping as if he couldn't get enough of Severus. It just gets hotter and hotter!
The thought sent another tremor through him as he steeped in the afterglow. Lovely, really lovely.
And awwww, the ending! So perfect! Thank you, mystery author! What a wonderful mix of sexy and sweet!
