Chapter Six

Ren stood in the doorway, his teeth clenched tight

together and his feet refusing to move. He shoved his

hands even harder into the pockets of his coat until the

seams strained and the corduroy creaked.

“Are you coming in?” Adam asked, dropping his

keys in the bowl on the entry table.

Ren could only give a jerky nod. His heart beat loud

and fast and the sound of it threatened to drown out

rational thought.

This must be what nervousness felt like.

“Is this what you want, Ren?” Adam finally asked.

He took a small step but then stopped, as if afraid to

come any closer. Did he know? Could he sense the

weight of this choice, feel the danger?

Ren closed his eyes, his mind filled with the words

from the covenant box.

Eternal damnation to those who violate…

We shall smite those who violate…

Sending the soul of evil men unto Hell…

The Law of Men and Angels is absolute…

Ren opened his eyes. Adam stood, waiting, his

expression stiff but hope filled his eyes. This would be

his only chance to lie with this human. The scroll had

been found, and once the Word was read into Law,

loving Adam would not be possible.

Taking a deep breath, Ren stepped inside and closed

the door.

“I do not know what to do,” he admitted. His face

went hot and his hands trembled.

“What do you want to do?” Adam stepped back and

leaned against the wall. He kept his hands at the small of

his back, not reaching, not touching. Leaving the burden

of choice completely on the one who understood the

consequences. Renatus.

I want to flee to the safety of Heaven. I want you to forget

you ever saw me, live a happy and full life without the danger I

bring.

But he hadn’t returned the scroll yet. The Law was

not being upheld tonight.

“I want to kiss.” Such a little thing, a kiss. Surely

there was no sin in something so simple.

Ren balled his hands into fists and pressed them

hard against the bottoms of the coat pockets. The

muscles of his upper arms and chest strained and the

thick corduroy creaked again in protest.

“Come in and hang up your jacket,” Adam urged,

tipping his head to indicate the row of hooks lining the

wall beside him.

Ren forced his heavy feet to move, to step into the

house so he could shut the door behind him. He

shrugged out of the coat and leaned past Adam to hang

it up. For one heart-stopping moment, he could feel the

heat of Adam’s body, the brush of their clothing.

Flustered, Ren started to step away.

Adam’s hand touched Ren’s waist. It was the barest

of contacts, so light Ren almost couldn’t feel it, but it

held him and pinned him there. They were close, so very

close. Their eyes met and Ren swayed in, helpless to

resist the lure of this human.

“Kiss me.” Adam tipped his head back against the

wall. He didn’t move, didn’t make any attempt to kiss or

hold. He was letting Ren set the pace, a significant

reassurance for an angel floundering so far out of his

depth.

The temptation became more than Ren could resist,

and he shifted, leaning in closer, dipping his head just a

little. He hesitated, his
