Chapter 7

“What?” John dropped his chin, peering down at where Brom’s thick finger rested, directly over his breastbone. “Well, I’ll be…” His chest was marked with a pink patch the exact shape and size of the cross, and it did indeed look like a burn.

“Does it hurt?” Brom asked, dragging the pad of his thumb over the irritated skin.

“Stings a bit, but it doesn’t seem to be anything serious. Only…”

“What?”

“When the horseman gripped my neck, I was sure he was going to break it, and that I would die. At the last moment, just when my bones were about to snap, I felt something burn hot against my chest, and he let go. I didn’t know what it was.” John plucked the crucifix from Brom’s hand and held it aloft, scrutinizing the crude object. Neither the wood nor the horsehair bindings were scorched. “By God, I think it worked.”

John half expected Brom to snort in derision, but he was silent, dark eyes fixed on the cross. “Remind me to thank young Joshua next time I see him, will you?”

John nodded mutely, his thoughts reduced to a sort of muddled wonderment by the apparent fact that a boy’s little wooden crucifix had preserved him from a hellish death.

Brom took the cross again, holding it in the palm of his hand. “To think that this is all that stood between you and that thing…” He let it drop and reached out to touch John instead, letting his fingers trail over the vertebrae at the back of his neck, beneath his hair. A shiver ran down John’s spine as Brom’s fingers traveled slowly over each bone, one-by-one.

“It is rather incredible, isn’t it?”

Brom cupped the back of John’s skull and pulled him close, so that their lips brushed. Brom’s breath smelled pleasantly of the pie they’d had before leaving, and the thoroughly ordinary scent made the night’s ghastly events seem far away. John pressed his lips against Brom’s, abandoning himself to the familiar feel of the other man’s mouth.

The kiss ended sooner than John had expected, and Brom drew him close, holding him as tightly as John had held Katrina when they’d been mounted on their panicking horse, trapped by the horseman’s unearthly fog. They were safe in bed; there was nowhere John could have fallen, but he remained still in Brom’s arms anyway, and the ice in his veins slowly melted. After several long minutes, he felt human again. The rekindled awareness of his humanity gripped him in a visceral way, causing his body to tingle with fierce energy and sudden desires. He pressed his mouth hard against Brom’s, demanding that he respond, that he move.

Brom slipped his tongue past John’s lips and leaned against him, pushing him down onto the mattress and settling on top of him. The heat of his muscles set fire to John’s heightened senses and quelled the very last of the shivers he’d been fighting since the incident on the road. He parted his lips, welcoming Brom’s tongue deep into his mouth.
