Roarke Fitzgerald had stopped by his room to grab a clean t-shirt before going next door.

Even before he entered, he sensed the tension but couldn’t tell who it was coming from as Peter Daniels paced the room while muttering in German, and Cameron Young was between Nick O’Malley and Ryan Fitzgerald.

“My employer isn’t supposed to be lunch for some hellhound,” Nick was complaining, motioning to the bed. “Any deeper and I would have had to call my brother in to deal with that bite, and none of us want Sean here.”

Ryan was pleased that he was keeping his temper controlled when he saw his younger brother in the doorframe.

Just a brief look told him that something had happened because he didn’t feel the same angst or unease in Roarke.

“Hey there, brat. O’Malley’s griping as usual.” He turned from Nick with a smirk as Roarke came in fully.

“Hey,” Roarke nodded, still a little wary around Ryan, but right then he wanted to concentrate on his friend.

Jessica Hadley still looked pale to him as she lay under a quilt he recognized as one of his mother’s handmade ones.

Sitting down on the bed, he gently eased the quilt down so he could look for himself. Her injured arm was lying across her chest with a white bandage wrapped around the wound.

“How bad?” speaking because he knew his brother was close, Roarke’s eyes remained on the girl’s face as if looking to see any distress, but she seemed to be resting easily and he knew that had been Ryan’s doing.

“The bite was minor and because you had cast a protection spell, not too much of its poison went into the bite.” Ryan leaned on the bedpost easily while the merc leader got his mystic out of the room. “Her arm will be sore and it may take another go at healing it to take the pain away, but that’ll be fine.”

Seeing the bandage on her head reminded him of the blood he’d seen, and Roarke gently brushed his fingers over it and then down her face. “Her head was bleeding.”

“She fell and hit it on cobblestone and since you were always fond of falling on those and taking layers off your knees, you should know what that feels like,” Ryan replied, wondering if his brother knew that his hand was shimmering as it lightly touched or stroked.

“Mild concussion is what Daniels said before lapsing into German or something,” he went on then stayed silent.

Roarke looked for himself, taking her hand in his and holding on as he finally let himself relax. “I was afraid that if I ever told her that I loved her, shut up, that something would happen and my failures or whatever would get her hurt.”

“That attack would have happened even if you hadn’t told her, brat,” Ryan spoke firmly, not resorting to his usual arrogance since he could feel the boy’s honest fear. “So you did tell her?”

“Shut up, Ry,” Roarke muttered but did smile a little, as things seemed to balance between them as it had years ago.
