Summary
"Mr. Jetten, our political love is an open secret," Jesse stands up and says in front of the eyes of the world. Rob isn't sure if that makes it easier or harder to hide.
Or, sex, secrets, and sneaking around, served with a side of the political intrigue du jour.

He's positive right then that Jesse will lean in and kiss him, put him out of his misery, but he doesn't.
He holds himself back, almost like he enjoys denying him. Every breath he takes feels as if it steals one right from his lungs. He wants to ask him how long - how long he'd noticed everything, when he'd started noticing everything - then remembers his answer from before when he'd asked him how long he had wanted him: always.
"I... can't get it on you," he croaks. "The cologne."
"I want it on me," he rejoins, calm but ferocious just beneath the surface. Territorial, almost. It makes him shiver.
They shouldn't be doing this here. Or anywhere, at all. Just like he shouldn't want to get his cologne on him, all over him, and suck at his neck until everyone can see the marks he'd left behind. But he does, and that's increasingly becoming an issue."Oh, and one last thing. You got invited to speak on a panel at a conference on climate change in Paris at the end of the month. They want you to talk about our new carbon emissions cap and balancing economic interests against emissions reduction. It looks like it'll be with other lawmakers from the EU.
They'll provide your registration and hotel. The conference lasts three days if you want to attend the rest of it too."
Tapping away on his phone as he is, Rob only glances over at her long enough to ask, "Anyone else from the Kamer going?"
"Uh, yes. Jesse Klaver from GreenLeft. They said in their email that they wanted to make sure they invited his 'other half.'""I didn't know you could do that,
" Jesse admits,
finally, still looking shell-shocked. "Without being touched. I..."
He seems to want to say more but can't find the right words. Rob wants to laugh all over again.
"Doesn't happen often. Where the-" he begins, voice choked by the saliva in his throat. His cognitive function is still so limited he's starting to worry it may have been fucked right out of him. "Where the hell did you learn to do that?"
Jesse has the gall to chuckle at him. "I told you I'm good at everything I do."
"Are you trying to kill me?" he asks, only partially kidding. "I have a heart arrhythmia, you know."
"I know," Jesse confirms, maneuvering himself down to press a kiss to his sternum, where they can both feel his heart hammering away, steady and solid in spite of it all. "Don't worry. I'll be careful with your heart.""I'm not going back to the conference tomorrow, am I?" Jesse asks rhetorically as he settles down at his side again.
The words rouse something in him. All at once, Rob feels positively feral, seizing his lips with a possessive snarl and all but pinning him down where he lays.
"You're not going back to the conference," is all he says, putting the issue to rest. "You're not leaving this fucking bed."Smoking weed and fucking his married colleague.
It's possible the Christians were right about him after all."I'm sorry my kitchen isn't up to your standards," he quips. "I just don't like cooking. I'm no good at it anyway."
"Yes, I remember the time you brought chicken cutlets to that fraction leaders' retreat," he says with a smirk as he minces a few cloves of garlic. "They were raw, and you almost gave all of us food poisoning. Which is a clever way to sideline your political opponents, if that was the goal."
"First, that wasn't my goal. Second, the breading was cooked to perfection; how was I supposed to know it was raw on the inside? And third, I would absolutely serve Geert Wilders raw chicken again.
Intentionally, this time."the ending was so fucking cute
