Exton

Waiting… for all the atoms in my body to stop vibrating….

Raina is getting her breath back, too. She's covered with a light sheen of perspiration - and nothing else, which is nice - and she's practically glowing. Wonder if I look like that?

I'm just about to fold myself around her when I hear an indrawn breath, a sound of pain. I whip my head around and Ky is in the doorway, leaning heavily on the frame, looking pale and sweaty. I doubt it's because of us. Damn stubborn elf….

I get out of bed without a word and move to the door, holding her up to take the strain off her ankle. The look she gives me falls somewhere between gratitude and wanting to slap me silly. I scoop her up in my arms and carry her carefully to the bed, lay her down on it. Raina has already made a space for her.
