It was too dark for them to see each other well, but it didn’t stop Rohan from looking at the prince’s face. Their connection pulsed softly between them, still filled with sorrow, but it was slowly being pushed out by another emotion: longing.

A small, contented sound left Jamil’s lips.

Rohan closed his eyes, relishing the feel of the prince’s soft, long fingers in his rough, calloused ones. Slowly, without conscious thought, their fingers intertwined. The merge pulsed withfort and warmth, bliss spreading through their bodies.
