Shane ignored the comment about infection, trying not to think about it. He held as still as possible, trying to focus on talking. If nothing else, it would help him stay awake. "Your brother?" he asked. Shiloh seemed incredibly protective of him, so he had to assume a family tie of some kind.
He thought back to Aaron's face when Shiloh had asked for his opinion on him. He shuddered, in too much pain to keep his reactions under the surface. How had he known that? Had he guessed? He didn't like that, didn't like the idea of anyone knowing what was going on in his head, especially not now when every move sent a ripple of pain through him, making him exposed, snappish, vulnerable. He hoped the kid stayed away and didn't come back.
