    Summary

    “How do you go to church and then…” He gestures between them almost frantically. 

    “And then what? Come home to you?” Rust tilts his head and grins. Cole’s cheeks pink again and Rust wants to trace the flush with his tongue.

    Rust shows Cole some of the benefits of worship.

    Summary

    "This was so different. It was wincing, fumbling. Cole flinching when Rust’s calloused fingers brushed against the column of his neck, Rust’s returned bristles at every touch to his burnt skin. This was nothing like before, when they were young and fearless, too reckless with their bodies to be shy— hurt. Too new in their sexuality to fear it. This was tentative, silently figuring out what scared them between breaths, between kisses."

    Cole and Rust's continued attempts to rediscover what it means to be close, nine months after being hunted.

    Set between books one and two.
