They stumbled into the cabin, and Rowan shifted back into a man. They were both sticky with blood and frozen from the snow. The combined sensation was worse than taking a midnight swim in the Vltava.
The silver bullet scraped Rowan’s side. An angry red gash oozed, right near his ribs. Black lines of the poison spread from it. When Elijah stripped he found them on his skin as well.
“Bath,” he said, his teeth chattering in his skull as he threw off the wet clothes.
Rowan didn’t argue.
He hoped some of the wood was dry enough to burn.
The cedar tub was oversized; otherwise both of them wouldn’t have fit. Elijah turned on the faucet and let the steaming water fill the tub. Then he slunk his arm around Rowan’s waist, and helped the alpha into the hot water.
Rowan slid in and pulled Elijah with him. “We both need to warm up,” he grumbled, though his voice shook.
“Here I thought you were being romantic,” Elijah said with a tight smile. The water burned, reminding him of places that went numb. He better not have frostbite anywhere important.
Rowan grunted. With unwavering calm, he placed his large hands on Elijah’s shoulders and gripped them. He’d done the same thing when they kissed the day before, and Elijah stared.
“Are you going to kiss me again?” he asked.
What a situation. He was too cold and worried to be properly pleased. His conquest was nearly complete – only now it seemed like less of a victory. It felt like something more.
Rowan didn’t answer. His hands wandered down Elijah’s chest.
Slowly.
Tentatively.
The calloused fingers raked across Elijah’s skin like he might shatter into a million pieces. No one ever touched him like that. Rowan paused at the bruise.
“Another wound is not what we need,” Rowan said and let out a heavy sigh.
The water soothed Elijah’s spent muscles and begged him to melt into it. With Rowan there, the temptation gnawed at him. “We? Are you saying we make a good team?”
Rowan’s lips thinned into a line.
Elijah knew he wouldn’t say it. He’d never admit they made a good anything.
Then Rowan let out a long breath through his nose, and his eyes pinched at the edges. His fingers sizzled against Elijah’s flesh. “Better team than me and Brooks.”
Brooks. His old partner. The one Elijah killed when they first met. “So I wasn’t over hasty on our first date?”
Rowan’s hands splashed into the water, and he frowned at them like they were a pair of ill-matching socks. “He would’ve killed you, if he could. Not over hasty, just . . . inconvenient.”
While Rowan didn’t scowl or say ‘that wasn’t a date,’ Elijah still wished he’d kept his damn mouth shut. That touch was worth more than any answer. But it was better than Rowan’s old ‘you killed my partner’ routine.
They were making progress, at least. He wasn’t going to press his luck by asking about the woman whose arms he broke, however. Rowan may never forgive him for that one.
The hot water eased over his chest, and Elijah grabbed the washcloth and lifted it to Rowan’s wound.
