Sir Guy slowly swaggering down the steps, all six feet two (and a half!) inches of black leather-clad alpha male. He’s anticipating his droit de seigneur, sniffing and smirking, pausing to crook his gloved finger at the young bride-to-be.
Studying the necklace. The slightly raised eyebrow and trace of a smile. “Hmmm. That’ll do nicely. Turn around . . .”
And then the flash of white teeth as he tugs the leather free from his hand so he can claim the piece of jewelry. Love his hair, the curls at the nape. begging to be teased with one’s fingers. Love his stubbled jaw. His eyes (yes, I’d call them piercing here–maybe scorching) and how, when downcast, we can see the beauty of those blackened lashes brushing against his alabaster skin. One beautiful and drop-dead sexy henchman, ladies and gentlemen.
MMM alright
He is such a sexy beast.
Did you get your free ebook “a Thousand Glass Flowers” by Prue Batten at Amazon? Available Friday and Saturday
Thanks for the heads up, Kathryn, on Prue’s book. And yes, he is one sexy beast, alright. Mmmmmm mmmmm good.
He uses “le droit du seigneur” but not ” le droit de cuissage” !!!!
When he says “turn around” ²sigh”
I meant the real “droit du seigneur”. Sir Guy only took her necklace ….
Yeah, thankfully her necklace was ALL he took.
I laughed so hard when I got the image that said “mmm…” because that was the exact noise coming out of my mouth as I watched the gif!
I would like a special Thorin Oakenshield day. Bump Guy for one Friday. He will get mad but so what.
Sorry, Xenia, but I’ve had Thorin Days before at the blog and will again. However, Guyday Friday will ALWAYS be Guyday Friday here.
Thorin Thursdays maybe?
I’ve done Thorin Thursdays and Thornton Thursdays. One problem with a weekly Thorin day is I just don’t have nearly as much material with which to work. I can only recycle certain photos so many times
Now, this should hopefully change.
It’ll change soon, I think!
Didn’t he play that scene to perfection!!
Did he deliberately do it that way to make us all swoon? He was meant to be bad but he was oh so good!! 
Who would have thought that someone removing just their glove to reveal such a beautiful hand would generate such a reaction!! 
Seeing as how he reprised the glove thud in Spooks, I think it may have been deliberate. Mayhaps he’s not as ignorant of his effect on us as he has led us to believe. Then again, what do I know?
*singing*
He’s got gloves, he knows how to wear them.
He’s got gloves, he knows when to lose them.
He only lets you wonder if you could feel them
Would you look beneath them if you could unsheath them
It’s le droit du seigneur, yeah
Yeah, it’s all right
(Sorry ZZTop … )
Yeah Zan!, The Spooks glove reprise – AND the head to toe leather did make me giggle!!! Who knows – it could even have been his idea if he had any idea of the reaction it got in RH, and I wouldn’t doubt that he did!!!
Thanks for the song!! Brilliant!!
Oh, I am SURE he had to know the impact of Hot Glove Love.
Brill song, thanks Zan!
Love the riff on ZZTop. LOL
Whether or not hot glove love was scripted or Richard’s idea in RH, I am sure the writers had such thoughts in their mind when they made him a courier in that scene in Spooks. A perfect op to pull out (and off) the leathers once more.! And I think Richard does have a definite naughty sense of humor about such matters. Also, the writers of his shows did like to make references to other roles. Characters named Thornton in RH; a character named Robinov in Spooks and a reference to Hobbits in Spooks 9. Their sly little winks at RA, as it were.
Like the writers using his REAL middle name in the “marriage” scene in RH! Lol!!
It’s one of those “he’s being so bad but OOOOOH, he’s so delicious!” moments.
Right there with you!
Love the glove and the man who uses it to such perfection !
Doesn’t he just???
