Tuesday Teaser - Bound by War

 


“Dammit, Raiden, stop!” Neo yelled.

Torin’s eyes popped open.

Surprised by the possessiveness in the voice, Torin jerked his gaze to the male standing nearest his bed. This was the one with the arousing scent. He had swung around, chimes sounding softly as he put his back to Torin’s medibed—and between Raiden and Torin.
