Chapter Thirteen

AVERY’S warm weight against him made Jameson wake with a smile. Sometime in the night, they’d gone from sort of holding hands to wrapped around each other. Jameson so enjoyed having Avery tucked against his front that he thought about skipping training and staying in bed all day. But he knew he couldn’t, and a glance at the clock showed him he needed to get moving.

Jameson kissed the side of Avery’s head and slowly untangled their limbs. Avery had one of Jameson’s hands wrapped tightly in his own, and Jameson’s right leg was wedged between Avery’s knees. He moved the leg without issue, but when he tried to extricate his hand, Avery stirred and clung tighter.

“Go back to sleep,” Jameson whispered in his ear.

Avery snuffled against his pillow, gave a tiny hum, and murmured, “’Kay.”

God, he was so cute.

Smiling, Jameson got carefully out of bed. He found his jeans and shirt, tugged them on, and then grabbed his shoes and headed downstairs. It was early yet, but he wasn’t surprised to hear noises coming from the kitchen. When Jameson stepped off the last stair, Derek stuck his head through the kitchen door and offered him a smile.

“Leaving?”

Jameson nodded. “I have to get back to the dorm and shower, and change before things start. Avery’s still asleep, though. I didn’t want to wake him.”

“He needs it.” Derek tossed a dish towel over his shoulder as he stepped into the living room. “I’m making waffles.”

“He’ll appreciate that.” Jameson sat on the bottom step to pull on his sneakers. “I don’t know what time he’s supposed to go in today. Do you?”

“I’ll find out,” Derek said easily as he leaned a shoulder against the jamb.

“Thanks. And you’ll make sure he eats and hydrates some more?”

Derek chuckled. “Don’t worry. I’m pretty well adept at taking care of ghostwalkers.”

Jameson knew that was true, but it didn’t stop his worry—no, worry wasn’t the right word—concern. He wanted to make sure Avery had everything he needed. Yesterday had been intense for him.

He glanced up at the ceiling and wondered if he should wake Avery and let him know he was going. He didn’t want Avery to think he snuck out, because that wasn’t what he was doing. But he knew how much Avery needed the sleep, so instead he asked Derek for paper and a pen and left Avery a note, asking him to come find him when he got to the office.

Derek took it and assured Jameson he’d make sure Avery got it. Then Jameson accepted the travel mug of coffee Derek offered and headed out the door knowing Avery was in good hands until he saw him again.
