Chapter Eleven

By the time Maddox took his own shower and returned to the bedroom, Hank was thankfully sound asleep.

Good. He needs the sleep.

Maddox stood there for a moment, staring at him, unable to believe he was really there, in his bed.

The volunteers had retrieved the majority of their belongings from the house, minus anything in the kitchen, and, of course, Hank’s truck and anything inside it. Unfortunately, the truck itself would be a total loss.

Hank didn’t have comprehensive coverage on it, and he didn’t have renter’s insurance, either. At least the truck was paid off, so no adding insult to injury and having to pay off a loan balance on a truck he couldn’t even drive now.

Maddox turned out the lights and carefully settled on his side of the bed. Plenty of times when they were kids they’d awakened to find themselves pressed back-to-back, so it wasn’t weird.

Hopefully Hank would still think it wasn’t weird.

Because he knew he’d be snuggling against Hank any chance he got.

The next morning, when his alarm went off what felt like far too early, Maddox heard a groan from Hank.

“Jeez, I was hoping that was a nightmare.”

Maddox rolled over to face him. “Sorry, buddy.”

From what he could see of Hank’s face…he looked like hell, and Maddox hoped Hank wouldn’t have to do anything too complicated today.

“I just want to catch a fucking break.” Hank’s voice sounded hoarse, raw—broken. “I just want something to go right, for a change. I want to raise JJ, be reasonably happy, and get paid fairly for doing an honest day’s work. That’s it. It’s not asking too much, is it?”

Maddox risked holding him. Hank still lay facing away from him, but when his body started shaking as he cried, Maddox wrapped himself around him, his heart breaking for him once again.

“I’m here for you. I’m not going anywhere. We’ll get you through this. You two are going to live with me, and it’ll give you a chance to finally breathe and relax. I need you to focus on you and on her, and not stress over the rest. This will be okay. I’ll make sure you’re okay.”

He couldn’t help inhaling and breathing in Hank’s scent, not when his nose lay against the back of Hank’s head, buried in his hair.

When his cock decided this was a great position and began to stiffen in his boxers, Maddox opted to sit up and rest a hand on Hank’s arm.

“I’ll go get coffee made for us,” he said.

“Okay. Thanks.” Hank slowly sat up and looked at Maddox over his shoulder. “I love you, dude.”

Maddox patted him on the back. “I love you, too, dude.”

At least he didn’t have to lie about that.

He climbed out of bed and headed for the kitchen.
