Hayley might have accidently called him Daddy, but that had lit the fire inside Mac. His boy needed. Mac needed. They were going to be good together. Maybe not perfect, but Mac would put in the work.
He pushed open the door to the guest room across from the master room. The bright yellow décor actually matched Hayley’s sparking personality. Hayley should be happy in there. At least for now.
Mac gently laid Hayley on the soft mattress.
Hayley peered up at him.
“I want you to sleep for just a little longer. Once you wake up, I’ll get you some food.”
Hayley nodded.
Mac went to the end of the bed and removed Hayley’s shoes and socks. “Do you want me to help you take off your jeans? I think you’ll be more comfortable without them.” The hospital had given Hayley a scrubs shirt to wear home. The jeans had blood on them though.
“Yes, please.”
Mac gently helped undo and pull off Hayley’s jeans. He had the cutest pair of bright green briefs on underneath.
Hayley watched him with wide eyes as Mac dropped the jeans to the floor. He had to behave himself, even as his cock hardened. Mac couldn’t maul his hurt boy.
“Under the covers,” Mac ordered. “I don’t want you getting cold.”
“K.” Hayley rolled over, onto his knees, as Mac turned down the bed.
Hayley had the cutest bottom Mac had ever seen.
Mac bit down on his tongue. Hard. To keep from groaning out loud.
Hayley lay on his side, facing the door, and Mac pulled the comforter up to his chin.
“Will you stay with me until I fall asleep?”
“Of course.” Mac sat on the side of the bed. He needed a shower and change of clothes, but it wouldn’t take Hayley long to fall asleep.
Hayley snuggled into his pillow, his cast up against his chest.
“Let’s try this,” Mac suggested. He grabbed a pillow from the other side of the bed and pushed it against Hayley’s side before carefully laying his casted arm on it.
“That’s better.” Hayley smiled.
Mac ran his fingers through Hayley’s hair. Petting him. Comforting him. “Sleep. I won’t be far.”
“Promise?”
That was a promise that Mac would never break. “Promise.”
“K.” Hayley closed his eyes.
It didn’t take long for Hayley’s breathing to even out and his boy to fall asleep. Still Mac remained sitting next to him. Just watching.
Hayley getting hurt was awful.
Mac would do anything to keep Hayley from feeling pain.
But by some twist of fate, Hayley was there with him. In his home. Under his protection. Mac wouldn’t let his boy down ever again.
There was so much he needed to do, but he couldn’t force himself to move away from Hayley yet.
The peacefulness that Hayley seemed to always feel called to the darkness inside Mac.
