Chapter 12
“YOU won’t lose me, I promise.” Cathal kept glancing
at Tomas as though reassuring himself that everything
was okay. That Tomas was okay, which was crazy as
he wasn’t the one who’d just got too close to that
bloody boundary yet again. “Just like last time?”
There was no mistaking the mix of concern and
fear in the question. Tomas decided to ignore the slight
tinge of not quite anger. After al, they’d gotten
distracted before he’d been able to share that little fact.
Behind them Ethan cleared his throat. “What’s
going on?” He was clearly not happy about this recent
development.
“I don’t know.” Cathal frowned, edging closer to
Tomas. “This isn’t supposed to happen.” There was too
much “not supposed to happen” going on of late. But
then he hadn’t known what would happen to his abilities
once he’d joined with Tomas either. “Tomas, why
didn’t you tel me?”
Tomas ran one hand through his hair. The other he
slipped into Cathal’s, linking their fingers together. “I
was more worried about you. It… I nearly lost you.”
Teling Cathal had been the last thing on his mind.
Having the man he loved in his arms and safe was much
more important. “Why would I….” He trailed off,
Cathal’s earlier words finaly registering. “What do you
mean the boundary wasn’t where you thought it was?
Property boundary lines don’t change, Cat, especialy
when they’re marked as clearly as these are.”
“You know where the old boundary lines are?”
Ethan’s eyebrow rose.
“Of course I do,” Tomas replied, more than a little
testily. “After what happened to Cat the other day, I
made sure I did. I wasn’t about to take any more
chances.” He placed his free hand on Cathal’s shoulder,
turning him so that they were facing each other. “I
thought you weren’t either, Cat.” What the hel was
Cathal playing at? Why take the chance and go
anywhere near it? He could have been kiled! “Even if
the bloody boundary had changed, you shouldn’t have
gone that close to it. Why did you?”
Ethan coughed. “I wanted some proof for al this
magic everyone keeps talking about. He did it to give
me some.”
“Fucking hel, Ethan!” Tomas shook his head.
“For once in your life, can’t you just take what
someone says at face value? This isn’t some big
scientific discovery that has to be proved with formulae
and experiments. Haven’t you heard of taking stuff on
faith?” Why the fuck couldn’t Ethan just believe them?
He and Tomas had been friends for years. Surely he
realized by now that there was no way he’d be lied to,
especialy about something as important as this.
“Dickhead.”
“I do take stuff on faith, and quite a bit more than
you’l ever know about.” Ethan glared at Tomas. “If
you’d get your head out of your arse and think about it,
perhaps you’d realize that I was concerned about you.
Al these stories about magic and some kind of
fairyland, what the fuck was I supposed to think?”
“That I might be teling the truth?” Tomas puled
his hand free of Cathal’s and crossed his arms over his
chest.
“Wel, I can see that now, can’t I?” Ethan took a
step closer. “I was wrong, okay? At least on this, but
I’ve not decided about the rest of it yet.” He snorted.
