CHAPTER EIGHT

When Gem woke, the first thing he noticed was how right the feisty little human in his arms felt. Angel fit there in a way no other vampire ever had, and as that traitorous thought flitted across his sleep stupid brain, Gem flinched. The next thought following was of course him recognizing the man who fit and felt so good wasn’t his, and while he was waxing poetic about how good it felt to hold Angel, Don was missing and most likely at the mercy of the very criminals they’d been tasked with capturing. Self-loathing pushed a quick, rancid wash of bile up the back of his throat. If he had anything left in his stomach to throw up right now, he’d have taken himself straight to the nearest toilet and had at it. He was still echoingly empty from last night though.

Gem uncurled his arms from around the sweet, firm body he had no business holding so tightly. Just as his arms began to clear the zone of warmth that clung to Angel’s skin, one of the smaller man’s hands shot out and caught the wrist of the arm that had lain across Angel’s waist during the hours they slept.

“We have time to rest still. Lay the hell back down, and for fuck’s sake, Papi, keep your damn arms around me. I can’t shield you otherwise.”

Angel’s voice rasped against Gem’s ears pleasantly though the words were harsh. Gem raised both brows. The other man couldn’t see his facial expression. He was still young enough at just shy of three hundred for the act to make him feel better. He considered what he could say to put the human in his place. Angel’s weary voice interrupted his musings. “Please, Gem, I’m still so tired, and tonight will be even worse. Please let me sleep a little longer.”

The strain in Angel’s tone left Gem unable to ignore his plea. “Sure, I don’t know what I was thinking.”

Angel wiggled back against him, the high round curve of his ass snugging perfectly into the angle of Gem’s pelvis. Gem bit back a groan. He hoped Angel was still mostly asleep and wouldn’t remember the way Gem’s dick stood to attention with the faintest brush of their bodies together.

Angel sighed, turned his head slightly and pressed a feather-light kiss against Gem’s forearm. Then he sighed again and pressed his ass more firmly against Gem.

Nope.

Not asleep.

Gem held perfectly still, trying to keep his mouth from running away with him. He had nothing to offer. He still had no business telling Angel what was really going on—therefore, it would be better if he just kept his thoughts to himself.

Angel pressed his ass back one more time, and there was no denying there was some kind of rational thought behind the motion. Gem breathed deeply for a moment, reciting the lineage of his clan in his head to trigger the discipline response he’d trained himself to as a fledgling before he spoke, “Angel.”

A third sigh, this one both deeper and somehow more vulnerable rolled out of Angel.
