Dorian took the reigns like he was used to control, issuing orders that the doctors and nurses did not protest. When the room quieted again, Raffe blinked at the whirlwind. “Bossy, isn’t he?” Raffe’s lips quirked into a lopsided smile as he indicated the door Dorian had left by. He could feel a faint flush in his cheeks, suddenly aware of how intimate that kiss had been, and maybe still a little enamoured of the memory. Nox was still close enough to be a distraction. “He said something about officers. He’s a cop?”
It wasn’t the sort of association Raffe would have expected, and he was wary of probing too deeply given how Nox had ended up at Kallisti in the first place. He tugged a hand through his hair again, stupidly aware of himself as he watched the bag slide of its own accord. Something like glimmers of light shivered oddly, like it was caught in glare, and Raffe looked away as if he’d accidentally stared too long at the sun. Once Nox dumped the clothes on the bed, his hands reached around to pluck the ties of the gown, grinning. He was overly aware of the searing heat in every skin contact, and his heart was still beating a little fast.
