Chapter 20

“Daddy! There’s no more soap in my bathroom and I went potty!”

I jolted awake, the way I did most mornings, to Gray’s overly loud voice and his way too eager knocks that really meant nothing because he was simultaneously opening the door.

Before I even saw his face, moments from last night came flooding forward: pinning Aiden to my desk, his soft moans, the way his body moved when he came in my hand, the desperate plea and promise he whispered late into the night, me carrying him up to my bed, us falling asleep together . . .

Fuck! Aiden was lying in my bed and Gray was walking in and about to get a half-naked eyeful of one of his favorite people in the world.

“Daddy,” Gray said again, this time with a little annoyance since I didn’t answer him right away. “Do you have more soap for my bathroom? You said I always need to wash my hands with soap, but I don’t have any.”

My little mini-me was standing in the middle of my room, his fist on his hip, his pajamas and hair still rumpled from sleep, and didn’t seem to even notice the man sleeping next to me.

I turned to my right and my heart immediately lurched in my throat. No wonder Gray didn’t react to anything; the bed was empty. Aiden wasn’t here. I hoped my panic wasn’t obvious as I turned back to Gray. “Just a second, buddy, I have extras in my bathroom. I’ll get it for you.”

“Ok!”

I stumbled out of bed, reminding myself that I needed to take care of Gray before I went into full crisis mode. Besides, there could be so many reasons why Aiden wasn’t in my bed right now. After his revelation, I thought we were finally past him running, but sometimes promises made in the middle of the night didn’t hold as much weight in the light of the morning.

I got Gray soap and shooed him out of the room before I fucking lost it. There was no sign Aiden was even here. His phone, that I plugged in for him last night, was gone, as were his sneakers and pants that were folded up neatly on my dresser. I grabbed my phone.

I wasn’t sure if the text flashing from Aiden made me feel better or worse. I was glad he didn’t just fucking ghost me, but who knew what the message said. I took a deep breath and clicked it open.

Aiden: Good morning 😊 Last night was amazing. I just ran out to get us breakfast and check on Pops. I’ll be back soon.
