Chapter Eight

I love you. Zack turned those words repeated in his head in wonder. After being locked up with men who often uttered curses and threats, hearing those words from Seth felt fucking amazing. Seth’s soft snores filled the room, the sound calming him. Seth hadn’t been kidding about being a bed hogger. Despite the size of the mattress, Seth had somehow maneuvered them to Zack’s side.

Any attempt to dislodge and pull up the comforter over their bodies failed. Seth snuggled close to him, like a kitten seeking warmth. Zack blew out a breath. Fucking adorable. He could watch Seth sleeping all night, clinging to him like a lifeline.

Hard to believe he was here, in Seth’s bed. Their bed, Seth had insisted, their home.

Seth certainly had everything planned out, although part of Zack continued to wonder where he fit in the picture. Given time, would Seth see him as a burden, a thing of his past?

Fuck. Zack was doing it again, thinking about the worst case scenarios. To survive his incarceration, he put his mind in survival mode. Zero expectations. He’d think of the worse, so when a situation like that arose, he wouldn’t be surprised. That was how he survived fights, fuckers who wanted to see who the bigger dick was.

He couldn’t blame them. Too much time in a cage made a man do desperate things and fighting each other sometimes made things better, reminded him he was still alive. The rules in that world no longer applied to his new one though.

“Zack, you still awake?” came Seth’s sleepy voice.

Seth opened his eyes to slits, looking grumpy as hell, then squinted at him in the dark. Moonlight from the partially opened curtains illuminated glimpses of Seth’s flesh and his.

“Go back to sleep,” he told Seth.

“Can I get you something to help you sleep? Milk? Pills?”

“Relax. I’m good. No need to fuss over me. All I need is you, next to me,” he replied.

“Okay then.” Seth dropped his head. “But if I want to fuss over you sometimes, let me, ‘kay?”

Moments later, Seth's snores filled the room again. Zack envied Seth a little. The bed underneath him felt too soft, strange. So did the fluffy pillows and comforter.

I’ll get used to it soon, he told himself. Maybe what Seth said earlier about this being a dream rubbed off him a little. Could something like this moment be too good to be true? Fuck. What was he doing? Not even a day had passed since he got out, and here he was, doubting reality and himself.

Zack made a silent promise to himself. He’d make things work, become a man worthy of Seth.

****

The smell of sizzling bacon jolted Zack away. For a moment, he forgot where he was. He expected the prisoners from the opposite cell waking up, a guard making his typical morning rounds and Ripper muttering passages from the Bible under his breath from the top bunk. Not this.

Seth’s master bedroom looked huge under the morning light, twice the size of his old six by eight cell.
