“Just don’t fall,” he murmured, but he was more aware of their proximity than the fading whisper of his own concern. The moment captured him whole-heartedly. His palms splayed, feeling the heat of skin beneath the hospital gown as Nox leaned closer, and everything else receded a little, until he barely had sense to register the pop of fireworks moments before Nox’s lips brushed his like a question. His heart beat stupidly fast, savouring the simplicity of it for a breath before he responded. Raffe’s kiss was sweet, but it wasn’t hesitant, and his mouth smiled around it. The grip of his hands tightened, but it was he who stepped closer, rather than pulling Nox off balance.
He was still grinning when he pulled back a fraction for air. Not that he had any intention of moving away, but he was mindful that Nox could barely stand. His laugh was breathy and charmed, close enough to taste. “Did I hear fireworks? Not being cheesy. I really thought I did.”
