The trail of Laurent's gaze felt like a touch in and of itself, at least until Laurent's fingers made contact. Then there was no comparison at all. Damen swallowed at the weight and warmth, light as it was through Damen's hair at first before his path led him to the soft skin of Damen's throat.
Months ago, this might have worried him, to let Laurent, the snake-like Prince of Vere, so close to skin so sensitive. A well-placed thumb or flick of a nail and Damen could bleed out. But there was no threat in Laurent's touch, only quiet wonder. His heart rabbited beneath his chest as Damen pulled in a breath, eyes locked on Laurent's.
'And what haven't we done?' he asked, grazing his fingers down the length of Laurent's upper arm and back up again as he struggled to get his breathing under control. 'Surely you touched much more of me than this.'
