they did together. His cock began to stiffen, and he reached down, tracing the stark outline of Jamie’s spine through his shirt, down to the centre of his body. Luuk could feel the heat there, the need pulsing between his cheeks.
But Jamie jerked back and almost went off the bed. He would have had Luuk not grabbed his ass and pulled. “Where are you going?”
Jamie, with his mouth parted and a slightly dazed expression on his face, looked almost the same way he did when he was aroused. He was so beautiful Luuk ached with want just from looking at him.
“W-we’re in a church,” Jamie whispered. “And Father Piotr is coming back. Listen.” He did, and Luuk heard the shuffle of footsteps, two different sets. “The other is Father Norbert, I recognise the sounds of them both. Luuk…” Jamie kissed his lips, his nose, his cheek. “I don’t want to leave here, not until we’re stronger. I don’t want to get thrown out for having sex.”
Luuk sighed. He didn’t want to stress Jamie out, but he wasn’t going to be able to keep his hands off Jamie for long. Jamie was just too tempting, but for now… “All right. My side is not quite better yet anyway.” And he needed to look at it, needed to see what had been done to him and find out what poison was used, how the priests had saved him. In fact, Luuk had several questions for the priests, and he’d begin asking them once he’d made sure dinner was safe to eat.
Chapter Ten
    “They seem honest,” Luuk said later, once the priests had retired for the night, or at least had finally left them alone. Jameson had been about ready to chase them out. Two more people in the room was two too many. It’d been so long since they’d been around anyone else.
    “I couldn’t detect anything to make me think they aren’t, once we got past the whole English-speaking thing.” Jameson had explained his earlier confrontation with the priests. It was good to know that Luuk didn’t sense anything deceitful about their hosts—Jameson truly did want them to just… be for a while. And the regular meals were pretty damn awesome too.
    “And the whole not having someone trying to kill us at any moment, hopefully,” Luuk added. He glanced at the door. There were numerous locks on it, courtesy of the Fathers. Another reason Jameson felt safer than he had in a while.
“Would shifters attack…?” Jameson stopped and snorted. “Stupid question, I know.”
    Luuk caught Jameson’s hand and pulled him towards the bed, where he lay. “Not a stupid question at all. There are religious shifters just as there are religious humans, although very few of them practise Christian religions. For the most part, they tend to worship nature, and would still respect the boundaries of another’s religion.” Luuk drilled him with an intense look that made his hazel eyes gleam. “And you, Jamie? I never thought you particularly religious.”
    Jamie wasn’t stupid. He smelt the arousal coming from Luuk, felt it searing him from their shared link. “I’m not, but—”
Luuk’s grin was downright sinful. “But there’s these wonderful locks on the door, and I promise you, I’ll be quiet so as not to disturb anyone.”
“I’m already disturbed,” Jamie muttered, because his cock was hard and the whole idea of having to be quiet was a turn-on in a totally surprising way. Always before, it had been risking death if they dared mate and weren’t truly hidden, so they’d had to be as silent as they could be. To know they could shout and moan and have someone hear without fear of being attacked was, well, perversely arousing, Jamie figured. However, it would still be disrespectful to the priests, so struggling to keep it down this time wasn’t a matter of life and death, which made the challenge of it a turn-on.
“We’ve been on our own too long,” he said in a low voice. He also waved a finger back and forth at Luuk. “And, you said not many hours ago at all that your side was still
