Colin
âWhy do you do this?â I asked into the silence that had followed my romp with Ben.
It lingered for a few moments, then he replied, âWhat? Fuck you?â
Wrapped around him, I could feel his chuckle more than I heard it, a soft vibration against my chest and arms. âI know this may sound shallow,â he continued, âbut have you looked in the mirror recently? And then of courseââ
âNot that.â
âWhat then? Suck your blood?â
I bit back a groan. Nothing like some thorny pillow talk to chase away the last mellow feelings of post-coital blissânot that shagging with Ben had been a particularly blissful event. It had been good, yes, satisfying, of course, but despite the obvious efforts heâd made, I hadnât been able to stop thinking about Mikey. And not just Mikey. Shoving the thought away, I looked up at Ben. âNo. I already know why you do that. But why do you get Mikey involved? Iâve been trying to keep him out of this.â
Ben raised an eyebrow. âOh, have you? I seem to remember you were trying to keep him as close as you could. Werenât you the one who asked me to teach the two of you some kinky techniques?â
I sighed. âI did, but⦠Bloody hell, this just doesnât make sense anymore. IâIâm confused and half of the time I donât have a clue whatâs going on. All I know is that I want to be with Mikey and know that heâs safe. And I miss Sasha.â
The name was out before I could stop myself and a painful wave of regret welled up in my chest as I said it. With it came all the memoriesâhis face, the sound of his voice, the texture of his silky, long blond hair. âIâI miss him so much, Ben. I never realized how much I loved him, how much⦠How much he really meant to me. To us.â
Ben didnât seem surprised. Was I really that transparent? He tightened his embrace and stroked my upper arm with his fingertips. âShh. Donât give up hope, Colin. Have you tried to talk to him? Maybe heââ
âOf course I have, about a million times, but he wonât take or return my calls.â
âIâm sorry. Maybeââ
I held up my hand and wriggled away from him. âDonât. Donât make me hope for something that isnât going to happen. And even if he did want meâor rather usâback, itâs probably for the best that he isnât around right now. That way at least he wonât get hurt.â
Ben perked up a bit at my last sentence, then he watched me with a thoughtful expression. âWhy would he get hurt?â
I rolled my eyes and slipped out of bed. âCanât you guess?â I didnât really want to talk about this and I was too distressed to steer the conversation back to where I wanted it, so it was a relief when Ben still hadnât said anything by the time I had reached the bathroom door.
âPete and his group?â he said quietly.
I froze, resting my hand on the doorknob.
