There was that sadness again, piercing like clouds on a clear day. Raffe’s smile slipped as dramatically as it rose like the sun. He’d spoken bits and pieces of his own past, but not the detail. Fact was he knew what it was like to feel alone, and if he’d found cracks and crevices out of that dark pit, he remembered all too well what it was like to feel lost in it. So this time when concern pinched his brow there was something haunted in it, sparking recognition for what he saw like a trapped prism of light.
Need tingled his skin when Nox’s lips pressed a second time, far more urgently. Like pouring yourself into a hole you knew you’d never fill, and Raffe gave freely. There wasn’t much distance left to bridge, but his body closed what remained of it now. With the bed to brace them one hand snaked to the other man’s jaw, and if he was aware of shouting he gave no sign of it.
