Summary
Five years ago, they marked each other.
Today, they are reunited at last.
Rhys’s breath caught. “Then I’m not going insane,” he whispered. “You feel it too… this pull between us?”
The hands at his waist tightened, fingers digging into the metal of his armor. The sound of crystal against it whispered through the quiet.
“I confess, it has gnawed at my sanity these past days,” the Exarch said, voice low. “But I cannot yield to it. We cannot.”“What are you hiding,” Rhys asked, completely lost in him, “that’s so terrible you’d go to these lengths?”
The Exarch held him closer.
“Just as I summoned you here, so too do I have a part to play in this tale,” he said, his voice distant. “A mission was entrusted to me, and I accepted it. I wish I could speak freely… but I cannot. Not yet. Perhaps—when we reach the end of this story—I’ll allow myself to tell you everything.”His fingers returned to Rhys’s hair, stroking it with gentle familiarity.
“Until that time,” he murmured, “we would do well to show restraint.”-or-
We can bang after we save the world.
Until then, we will suffer from restraining ourselves.Series
