Yes, Iwas taking advantage of the situation, but it was just a word. A harmlesslittle word that wouldn’t hurt anyone.

“Mm-mm,”he murmured in disagreement, burying his face in my chest. “Warm.”

I bitmy lip to stifle a laugh.

“Youshould probably move, partner,” I said when he threw a leg over me, and thatwiped the smile off my face.

Jesus.Christ.

Okay,calm down. It’s just morning wood. No biggie.

Nobiggie? I almost laughed because… whatthe fuckwas the size of thatthing?

“Fuckinghell,” I muttered, panicking.

Mybody got stupid at that point. I gritted my teeth to stop the inevitable, butit was too late. My dick was already swelling. I pressed my palm against thethickening hardness, willing it down, but it only made the pre-cum pour. Sweatcoated my upper lip as I stifled a groan, hyperventilating. When Carter’s leg movedand grazed my erection, I bit on my tongue to stop myself from making a sound.My balls tightened—just by fucking that. Just by…God, why do I feel as ifI'm about to burst?

Prematureejaculation. It was the only thought that helped me restore my sanity. Isqueezed the tip of my dick to prevent a disaster, groaning in pain that mademy entire body shake. Then I used all my strength to push Carter off me untilhe landed on his back, still deep asleep.

Pleasego away, erection.I begged.Please go away.

Itwouldn’t.Even after the pain, it wouldn’t go away.

He’sdreaming about Vicky.

Iwiped the snot from my nose with the back of my hand, sniffling. Now, that wasa thought capable of killing a boner stone-dead. Not just because it made mychest hurt, but also because it was probably true.

Carter

Idreamtabout being chased through the woods. I ran like crazy, but I could feel thepresence behind me snapping at my heels. After a long and exhausting run, Imanaged to put some distance between us. The air cleared, and I saw the blueclouds above me.Blue. So damn blue. Violet, cerulean, aquamarine… Theykept changing color.

Aftermy fear was gone and I could breathe again, one sensation stayed with me, hotin my belly. One craving wrecked my insides. One singular need made my bodyweak—the need to fuck. Not make love. Not have sex. Fuck. I needed to fuck. Ineeded to pound someone into the mattress so hard the bed would break. I neededto bury myself into someone so deep I would come out on the other side. I needed...I just needed to fuckingrut. The next thing I knew, I was falling intothe abyss. My blue clouds were gone, and I was all alone.

When Ifinally woke up, my first thought was that I couldn’t breathe. As it turnedout, I really couldn’t breathe because I had two hundred pounds of muscle lyingon top of me.

“Thorsen,”I said through my teeth. “Move the fuck off me.”

Hemuttered something incoherent in his sleep.

Itried to push him away, but it was impossible, even for me. His weight pinnedme to bed so I couldn’t move. His arms lay on both sides of my head, huggingthe pillow and entrapping me. His face was buried in my neck. And between mythighs, his leg was pressed against my junk… my increasingly hardening junk.Human biology was truly a bitch.

“Thorsen!”I hissed, hitting him in the ribs. “Move, or I will shoot you!”

“What?”he rasped.

“Ican’t breathe.”

Hegroaned, sounding annoyed as if he had a reason to be annoyed while making apancake out of me. I breathed a sigh of relief when he pulled away, only togasp when he grabbed me by the hips and dragged me on top of him.

“Hey!”I exclaimed. “Have you lost it?”

Itried to free myself, but his arms tightened around me, refusing to let go ofme. I looked at him incredulously, but he still seemed asleep… how was thateven possible? I could understand his PTSD after everything we've been through,but this was getting ridiculous.

“Tye,let go of me,” I said with a sigh, only to feel him pushing my head on hischest and muttering, “Shut up.”

Atthat point, I laughed. I laughed at him, at myself, and at destiny for being abitch. I vowed to myself that I would kill both Bob and Baldie. Then I fellasleep because something that Thorsen had said was correct: after everythingthat happened, falling asleep with him was easy. Escaping the nightmares thatawaited us at the other end was hard.
