“This is the hard part to explain. I’m not sure I can, and I’m not sure that you’ll believe me if I do.” Edward tucked one leg under the other and sat back. He’d never tried the truth before—most of the time he explained it away as the wonders of massage. Somehow, he knew Jack wouldn’t fall for that. Jack would demand more.

“Try me.”

“I’m able to absorb…illness, I suppose. Transfer it from a person to myself. Then my body absorbs it, displaces it, or dispels it, I’ve never figured out which.”

Jack stared at him. “You’re crazy.”

“I told you.”

“It’s some sort of mind trick. Like a placebo. People can’t just take pain or an illness away. Not normal people.” Jack stared at him.

Edward gave a short laugh. “In case you haven’t noticed, I’m not like everyone else. Take this shirt, for starters.” He held out his arms to demonstrate, trying to ease the tension between them.

Jack, tight-lipped, stared at him. Edward winced at the disbelief on his face. What did Edward expect? He was surprised Jack hadn’t called him crazy and thrown him out of the house.

“Does your head hurt? Can you see now?” Edward waved his hand at Jack, feeling very tired. More drained than he’d ever felt before.

“How did you know I couldn’t see?”

Edward stared down at his hands in his lap. “When I took your pain, I went blind. Then I…fainted.” He raised his eyes to catch Jack’s gaze. He’d done more than just faint, but he wasn’t ready to deal with that yet.

“Shit. Holy shit.” Jack ran his hand over his face. “This is too fucking much.”

“It’s okay if you don’t believe me.” He shrugged. “I didn’t expect you to.”

“I don’t know why, but I do. Christ, maybe I’m the one who’s crazy.”

There was a long silence between the men.

Unable to control himself, Edward whispered, “Were you going to kiss me?”

Jack jerked his head up. “No. Hell, no.”

“Uh-huh. But you touched me, didn’t you?” He should let it drop, but he couldn’t.

Jack bolted out of the recliner. “You need to go. Let me get the keys and I’ll get your bags for you.” He headed to the door.

Hurt and anger warred in Edward as he followed Jack, grabbed his arm and spun him around. “I felt you. Touching me.”

“I was just trying to see if you were alive.”

“Bullshit.” Edward didn’t release him.

Jack jerked away. “Let me go.”

“You want me.” Why did Edward always have to push? He knew he should leave it alone, but he just couldn’t stop himself, even knowing that it might drive Jack away.

In one quick move, Jack twisted Edward’s arm behind his back and shoved him face-first into the front door. He slammed his hand over Edward’s, trapping it against the door, and leaned against Edward’s back. It was rough and violent and the most erotic thing Edward had ever felt. Hell and damnation, he’d popped a boner at the manhandling and his dick pressed with delicious pain into the wooden door.
