The information was all new. His interest was only academic, of course, but nonetheless the weird was a part of his life now, and given the indulgence Raffe was a curious creature. None of the girls described the power as a fight, and he’d presumed it would be the same for Nox. A perpetual struggle did not seem enticing, truth told. He hadn’t even considered that the creature who had done the feeding might come back. It struck a shiver to the tip of his spine.
“I guess it didn’t work out if you’re here.” His smile quirked apologetic, wondering if he was near the edge of another misstep. He didn’t ask about Nox’s sister, at least not yet. They sounded close, which meant there was a reason she wasn’t here right now. Questions for later, though. For now, whatever past nipped at the other man’s heels, it was Kallisti’s gain.
Nox stepped closer. Raffe’s gaze moved up to keep his eye. The proximity made his heart beat a little fast. “Well. House rule really.” He grinned. “Kallisti is the art of tease. You’ll get propositioned, believe me, but it’s strictly no touch with the clients. Off premises? Well, that’s up to you, but it’s best to keep it discreet.”
