Summary
A lazy summer evening in the Lavender Beds turns to a lazier morning, and a rare moment of vulnerability for a pair of stubborn, proud mages.
Intimacy of this sort had never come easily to him. Zhai’a had slowly started to become more physically affectionate as they became more entangled in each other’s lives—would he want to be held? Woken with gentle touches or kisses trailed across his skin, as he had done a time or two when it was his Seeker lover stirring to wakefulness? Would he be embarrassed or angry at having been caught in such a vulnerable state?
B’alith was not sure his heart could bear it if that last thought—fear, really—proved to be true, but he’d let his own past heartbreaks hold him back from fully giving himself to someone for too long. He owed it to himself, and to Zhai’a, to be brave again.
