Summary
Mika and Renley agreed on two rules for their friends-with-benefits arrangement:
1- No feelings
2- No sleepovers.Renley realizes he’s on the brink of breaking Rule 1, on the same night Mika slips and breaks Rule 2. But it’s the anniversary of the worst day of his life AKA Kurda’s betrayal - so it doesn’t count, right? This is a scene from Chapter 13 of Bloodline that didn't entirely make it into the story.
Preview:
Mika remained sitting there on the bed a few feet away, his back still facing Renley. The visible tension in his shoulders betrayed the truth - there was something more going on beneath the surface.
“I hate to pry -“ Renley began.
“I hate when you pry.” Mika interrupted.
“- but I’m getting the impression there’s something on your mind.” Renley continued seriously. He reached out again, and lightly stroked his fingertips across Mika’s lower back - always a favourite spot. To his relief, Mika didn’t swat his hand away.
“It was seven years ago today.” Mika muttered after a beat of silence.
