I was touching him like I had when we'd slept, but he didn't have a magical bone in his body. Not in the traditional sense anyway. He didn't have the ability to cure me, so what was happening here? I didn't know if I wanted an explanation as Kason's heartbeat slammed against my fingertips. His warmth, his compassion, skated up over my knuckles pain free. I wanted to hold my hand there forever if he'd let me.
Fearing I would break the spell or whatever this was, I flattened my hand against his chest in ultra-slow motion. My palm caught each of his heartbeats, feeling his life pump against my flesh, instead of the curse I'd inflicted myself with. But why Kason? Why was it his chest I could touch freely? I supposed I could experiment on random strangers, but I didn't want to.
My breath hi
