Chapter 14

Remy collapsed against Marlow as the room dimmed, and they sagged boneless where they lay atop the mattress.

“Impressive light show,” Remy huffed.

Marlow giggled, maybe a little delirious, but oh, that had been worth it, and would have been even if he hadn’t gotten his magic back. “Are you okay?” he asked, still worried the sparks might have been too much, since Remy didn’t have much natural protection against magic.

“Are you?”

“I am fucking amazing.” Marlow smiled, and Remy huffed warm breath against his chest.

It seemed too great a feat to move at first, but Remy soon rolled away, snatched up his or maybe Marlow’s shirt—it didn’t matter—and wiped them clean before tossing the article back to the floor. He lay beside Marlow, and Marlow reflexively wrapped his arms around Remy to hold him close.
