Chapter 5

Jason was awakened wel before he wanted to be by an unfamiliar noise in his bedroom. He held his breath and counted to ten. The exercise helped him focus on cataloguing his surroundings the way he'd done since he was a kid. His bedroom door was stil shut and locked. He'd had to petition the apartment manager to alow him to instal that deadbolt but it had become a necessity for his peace of mind over the years. He looked to the blinds. They were undisturbed and the windows were stil locked behind them. The wind outside would have been making them move if the windows weren't closed. Good. No one else was in the room with him and Kit. He blew out the breath he'd been holding.

There it was again, the muffled cry that had caught his attention, even in the deepest recesses of sleep. He turned to Kit and frowned when he saw the bal the smaler man had managed to turn himself into during the night. Jason put a hand on his shoulder and then barely missed getting punched in the jaw as Kit blindly lashed out at him with both fists.

"Fucking hel, Kit," he ground out as he grabbed Kit's thin wrists and pinned them up above his head. Jason knew he had no right to be mad at Kit for having a nightmare. And he wasn't. Not realy. Groggy and irritated at his sleep being disturbed, sure, but not mad. It was more fear and concern that made his heart race as Kit struggled violently beneath him. And holding onto him was a balancing act. Jason knew his own strength. He had to, as a Dom who liked to mark his partners with his hands and the flogger. If he didn't know how strong he was he could easily hurt someone.

But holding Kit as he fought him without even realizing it was dangerous for the younger man and Jason didn't want to hurt him because of it.

"Bear!" Kit yeled, his voice hoarse from the tears Jason could see running down his cheeks. "Help!

Bear!"

"Shit." Jason's heart clenched as he looked down into that pale, pain torn face. He shook Kit's wrists as carefuly as he could, hoping the jolt would wake him.

"Bear. Sorry, Bear." He shook his head from side to side and thrashed under Jason.

He cursed and turned his head away as Kit's hips pushed up against him, finding his cock and giving him just enough play to get his body's attention. This was absolutely the wrong time to get a hard-on but his cock could have realy cared less. "Kit!" he shouted into the man's face as he shook him again.

Kit went stil under him. Slowly the fight seemed to drain out of Kit and Jason released his hold on the man's wrists. "What's your name?" Jason asked him quietly. He was puling at whatever therapy techniques the counselors had taught him when he was a kid. He'd had nightmares then, but most of the stuff they'd taught him he hadn't thought about for years.
