Mike wasn’t sure why Lane was being so nice. He shouldn’t be forgiven. He should be kicked out. Skyping with the guys scared the shit out of him. But Lane had insisted, and he guessed he needed to just go with it.

Once he agreed, Lane sent a text, saying he needed to talk to everyone, and he thought Skype would be the best option for them. The guys all responded and agreed to Skype at eight that evening.

His stomach twisted, and he fought to hold it together. Every time he looked at Lane, his heart squeezed. He’d caused his lover pain, a lot of pain, though he hadn’t meant to. He needed help or he needed to leave. He knew it would be better for Lane if he took off, but for some reason, he couldn’t walk away from the man.

The time for them to Skype was approaching, and his anxiety was rising. He kept chewing on his fingernails and cuticles or pacing or both. He turned to Lane, flinching when he saw the bruise around his eye growing darker.

“I-I don’t think I can do this. They’re going to hate me because I beat you up. I hit you, and they’ll be pissed.”

“They all love you, and they’ll understand. They were there, they know what you went through.”

Ice churned through his veins. “But I hit you. They’ll take one look and won’t listen to what I say.”

“What if I’m not on camera at first. You can explain, then they’ll understand.”

His heart was pounding so hard, and his palms were sweaty. “I’m scared.”

“I’m here for you. I’m not walking away.”

He nodded then paced to the door then back over. “Okay, if you stay off screen then let them see after I’ve explained. Maybe I could—” He squeezed his forehead, anger pumping hard. He felt Lane’s hand on his shoulder, and he sighed then pulled him into a hug, trying to be gentle.

“I’m so sorry,” Mike said through his tears.

“I know. I also know you didn’t do this on purpose.”

He shook his head. “I’m so angry with myself.”

“I want you to meditate tonight. I’ll do whatever I can to help you.”

He nodded, wondering if he was risking too much. If he beat up Lane again, it would end their relationship. Fear filled him, and he wasn’t sure he could be the person Lane needed him to be.

The alarm Lane had set on his phone beeped. Mike’s heart sped up, and his head spun. Sweat formed on his brow and neck. How could he explain this to the guys?

Lane pulled away and moved the table where he’d set his computer. Mike grabbed his computer and set it on the table next to Lane’s. He waited for it to spin up as he stared at the carpet, wondering if he had gone crazy. When he opened Skype, his hands shook. As he made the connection to their group call, his stomach churned.

Then he was connected and so were Thomas and Clay. After a few seconds, Brent and Jake were on.
