Sawyer was vaguely aware of Rex untying him. He might’ve passed out or fallen asleep or any combination of the two, and Rex didn’t seem to mind. He massaged Sawyer’s shoulders and arms and legs, getting rid of the pins and needles. He made Sawyer drink some soda. He cleaned him up.
And Sawyer, who’d normally be jumping out of bed, just lay there, enjoying the hell out of all of it.
When Rex finally lay down next to him, he threw a leg over Sawyer possessively.
“Thank you,” he told Sawyer.
“Shouldn’t I be the one thanking you?”
“You really don’t know how much I get out of doing that? No, you don’t. I forgot it myself for a really long time. I put that part of myself away with Josh and that was okay then. But I did miss it. And I realize how much I need it.”
“Why did you put it away with Josh?”
“I didn’t think we needed it. But that’s not really the point. Sometimes it’s not about needing as much as it is about want. And sometimes it’s both.”
Sawyer smiled, still feeling like he was floating. “Is it selfish of me to admit I like having a part of you that you didn’t share with him?”
“I’d imagine I’d feel the same way.” Rex stroked his hair. “You’re still in sub-space.”
“I like it here.”
“I like bringing you here. Look how still you are.”
He was—still and relaxed, and for the first time in months, years maybe, his mind was clear. “I think this needs to become a part of our repertoire.”
“I certainly wouldn’t mind it.” Rex smiled. “This trust is the next step. I know you trust me with your life but do you trust me to take control of your emotions? Because that’s a whole new level of trust.”
“Did I pass the test?”
“I don’t test you, baby. I make sure you love what I do to you. For you. And I think it’s apparent that you loved this.”
“I love you, Rex.”
“I never get tired of hearing you say that.” Rex looked so serious. “I fucking love you, Sawyer. Nothing’s going to change that.”
“I’m sorry that things with Josh—Lucky—have been so difficult.”
Rex’s expression darkened. “I think I really fucked up with him. I went into one of his therapy sessions and he was asking me questions. And I went to look for the scar on his leg, because the infection I saw was really bad. It would’ve left one. And there was nothing. No scars on his legs. And I’m guessing if I’m misremembering where the infection was, if there were scars on other parts of his body from an infection, he would’ve shown me.”
“So what are you thinking? You don’t think he agreed to help them in exchange for your lives?”
“Two days after he was killed, we were released.”
“You weren’t rescued?”
“No. That never made any goddamned sense to any of us.”
“Okay, so the infection was a ruse,” Sawyer said. “Why go to all that trouble? And why would you think there would be a scar?”
“There were pictures.
