A Strong Hand • Catt Ford

He guided Nick down a short hallway to a room with a fairly large bed. “I’m going to get you into bed. Let me do all the work, right?”

“Yeah.”

Damian lowered Nick down onto the bed and stripped him, making short work of it. He lifted the slight body to pull the covers out from under him and tucked him in. “I’ll be right back.”

He fetched a glass of water and sat on the bed, leaning back against the headboard. He raised Nick to lean him against his shoulder and gave him one tablet and the water.

Nick swallowed and let his head drop onto the comforting shoulder, nuzzling into Damian’s neck.

“Do you need two?” Damian questioned him.

“No,” Nick managed.

“Okay. I’m just going to lock up and I’ll be right back,” Damian said. He arranged Nick to recline comfortably and went to secure the car and house.

He grinned ruefully. He was about to violate one of his own rules—

having someone sleep beside him in the same bed. He had taken Nick to his guest room; he hadn’t felt good about strong-arming him up the stairs to his own room, but he wanted to be sure that if the boy awoke in the night in pain, he was on hand to help.

Nick was asleep when Damian returned, only a faint line between his brows betraying the pain that still lingered. Damian wondered why he’d refused the second pill.

He undressed, slipping nude under the covers. Shifting in his sleep, Nick tried to get closer to the source of warmth. Carefully Damian pulled him closer, allowing the boy to nestle close and wrapping his arms around him.

Nick’s breathing slowed and Damian prepared for a very disturbing night.
