“For?” he asked, giving him the chance to talk it out.

Gamble wiped his eyes on his sleeve. Then, and only then, did he speak.

“For what happened in bed. I was asleep. I wasn’t with it. I don’t know how…”

Poe didn’t want him to suffer.

So, he stopped him.

“Hey, it’s okay.”

That didn’t seem to work.

Gamble still looked devastated at what had happened, as he believed he forced himself on the man in his sleep.

“What I did to you in bed…”

Yeah, well, Poe wasn’t exactly upset about it. That had been one hell of a dream, and honestly, he’d cherish it. When Gamble was better, he’d watch him walk away, and he’d never see him again.

Already, that was a difficult pill to swallow.

Gamble kept going.

“I forced myself on you.”

Because he wanted him to stare into his eyes, he turned his head.

“You didn’t hurt me, and honestly, I’ll put it out there. I’m gay, Gamble, and I’m sexually attracted to you. I was dreaming about the same thing you likely were, and I was an active participant in my dream. You didn’t assault me.”

He blinked.

That caught him off guard.

“You’re gay?”

He actually laughed.

“I’m sure you can’t tell by my impeccably starched shirts, tasseled loafers, and corduroy pants, but yes. I’m very much gay, and I like men. So where you think I was offended by your dick against my body…”

He cringed.

“Oh, God. I took advantage…”

He stopped him. Poe had his hand on his cheek, and he had to move it. The lines were already blurry, and he was already a little too attached.

It was time to doctor the man.

“Instead of feeling guilty, how about this? Let’s discuss what you were thinking and feeling.”

A flush moved up Gamble’s neck.

He was so goddamn confused. The dream…the man had been right. For some reason, he was dreaming about sex, and it wasn’t with Storm.

It was with this man.

The whole thing was wild because up to that moment, he’d been one hundred percent heterosexual. Don’t get him wrong, he’d admire the male form, but he never wanted to have sex with a man.

In his dream, he was fully into it—so much so, that he came hard. For the first time in a long time, he’d been at peace too—until he woke up, found his pants down, his dick out, and cum on the doctor’s ass.
