Caelo didn’t realize he’d taken Sev’s hand until they were already halfway around the boulder.
It’d just happened. One second his hand was at his side and the next second it was wrapped around Sev’s, fingers interlocked, the way hands interlocked when the bodies they belonged to had stopped asking permission and started making decisions on their own. The bond in his chest gave a small warm pulse of approval at the contact, which was annoying, because Caelo had not asked for its opinion.
