Chapter 16

When they stopped outside Alec’s door, Rowan’s grip momentarily loosened. “I’d rather stay in my room, but if you’re not comfortable with that—”

“I’m more than comfortable with that.” This wasn’t about his needs, but leave it to Rowan to still consider them. “How about I change into sweats first?”

Rowan nodded and let him go. “That’s probably better. Let yourself in whenever you’re ready.”

His square shoulders were slumped as he shuffled down the hallway. Rowan didn’t need sex right now. He needed a friend. It was better for them to be dressed rather than stripping down and sleeping in their underwear. More clothes would make it easier to hold off on their attraction. Hopefully.

Less than five minutes later, he stood outside Rowan’s room. Contrary to Rowan’s request, he knocked once to let him know he was there, and then opened the door. Only the lamp on the nightstand was on. Rowan sat on his bed, his back against the headboard, his arms resting on his bent knees.

Wordlessly, Alec closed the door behind him and crossed the room. As he sat on the edge of the mattress, his heart raced. Why was he so nervous? He was here by invitation, with no sex intended.

A line appeared between Rowan’s brows. “Did you change your mind? If you don’t want to do this, you don’t have to. I’ll be okay.”

Alec didn’t actually believe that last statement, but permission to leave spurred him to grab the blanket and yank against where Rowan had it trapped. “Of course, I’m doing this. But not if you’re planning on sitting there like a lump so I can’t get in.”

Tilting his ass off the bed, Rowan waited to stretch out until after Alec freed the comforter and slid into the space beside him. “I’m not going to accidentally shift, you know.”

“I know.” Damn, he must smell nervous, too, and now Rowan was second-guessing his request. “You want the light on or off?”

“Off.”

While being in the dark helped Alec relax, Rowan was still stiff. Alec propped his head on his hand and waited for Rowan to take it to the next step, whatever he needed that to be.

It was a touch to his hip, feather-light and hesitant. “Can I hold you?”

“You have to ask?”

The touch firmed, gently nudging Alec to turn to his other side. As soon as his back was to Rowan, he slipped his arm around Alec’s waist and slid forward until they were perfectly spooned. If he needed any proof this wasn’t in the least about sex, it was the lack of an erection poking into his ass. He could still feel the solidity of Rowan’s cock through their sweats, but it was just a part of him rather than an incessant reminder of desire.

Rowan sighed. A moment later, his nose nuzzled into Alec’s neck. “Thank you,” he whispered. “I can’t believe how badly I needed this.”

Alec curled his arm over Rowan’s. “Did he wake up at all while you were sitting with him?”

“No. There was a really strong sedative in the painkillers they gave him.
