Somehow, the fact that Tanek had not done this with Neculai made Sorin very grateful. He had been trying to accept that Imani was hurt that Nick was gone, but not glad that Sorin was back, and while the other Anton kids all expressed their joy at Sorin's return, that small fact plagued him. But now, now that he knew Tanek hadn't been fooled, Sorin felt a weight lift off his mind and he put all his focus into rewarding Tanek for his loyalty.
When Tanek came the first time, Sorin let him rest, kissing him slowly, revving him up again. Sorin made sure Tanek came again, and then again, until they were both so exhausted that they fell asleep tangled together, sweaty and content.
