Right. Rachel gave a slow nod. He was going to glue himself back together like a broken action figure. “Okay.” She flipped open the box and pulled out wipes and the glue. At least it was proper surgical super glue, not supermarket stuff.

He placed his hand over hers. His skin was cool against hers. “I can do it.”

He probably could, but it would be awkward. Besides, he’d just taken a knife out of his shoulder, the least she could do was patch him up. “It’s fine. Just stand still and don’t cry when I put the antiseptic on.”

“Do most of your patients cry?”

“Most of my patients are under ten, they’re allowed to cry.” She ripped open the packet. She probably shouldn’t have chugged the scotch, but instead of feeling cold and scared she was now warm and glowy. Being close to a shirtless Noah could be helping that feeling, though.

“I got attacked by your husband’s demon and stabbed with my own knife.” He hissed as she pressed the antiseptic wipe to the wound, but didn’t cry.

“This is not the worst wound you’ve had. Tell me about the gunshot wounds.” She brushed her finger over a small round scar.

“They aren’t from bullets. They’re punctures from claws.”

She lifted her gaze from the wound to his face. “Demon claws?”

He nodded and she didn’t press. Not after last time. She gave it a final wipe, but let her fingers linger on his skin for a moment. It had been a long time since she’d touched a man. “At least it didn’t wreck your raven ink.”

“The tattoo probably stopped the knife from going into my heart.”

“Not as such, but it has significance.” He kept his gaze on her face and didn’t grab her hand and try to stop her exploration.

She was tempted to slide her hand lower just to feel the ridges of his six pack, instead she grabbed the superglue and broke the seal. “Lucky you had this.”

“I always have a first aid kit when running from demons.” He smiled, his blue eyes bright and unclouded with pain. He really wasn’t hurt that bad.

“Do you want to hold the edges of your skin together or shall I?” While she’d like another excuse to touch him, it might be easier if he did it. Plus it was going to be him stuck with the scar that remained.

He gave the edges a test close, wincing a little but without making a sound. “Too many hands might get in the way.”

Which was also a valid point, but that didn’t stop her hands from suddenly getting a case of the shakes. “I’ve never done this.”

“Ran from demons or glued a wound?”

She glanced up. He was trying to keep the moment light to stop her freaking out.

“Glued a wound. I’ve been running from a demon for the last week. I’m practically an expert.” She forced a grin, then wiped the blood away from
