Chapter 12
Preston
They followed the trail of lights through a series of hallways back to the basement where they were being held captive. From what Preston could tell, they appeared to be in some sort of large facility, where the âbasementâ was only one of a series of large empty spaces.
Once they reached the bottom of the staircase, they both paused. Caleb stared at his cage in silence, appearing lost deep in thought.
Then a thought occurred to Preston, what if they refuse to go back into our cages? Surely, their captor hadnât installed defenses outside of their cages.
There was a click overhead as the speakers came to life once again. âSee those black nobs hanging from the ceiling?â
Preston looked up and spotted several black nobs scattered throughout the room.
âCan you guess what theyâre used for?â
Gas. The bastard had also installed countermeasures outside the cages. Apparently, this guy really did think three moves ahead.
They both pushed open the doors and entered their separate cells.
The whole walk back, Caleb had been rather quiet, choosing not to make eye contact even when the doors closed behind them and locked electronically.
Preston still wasnât sure what had happened in the showers. At first, he thought Caleb was being sympathetic, perhaps feeling bad for going all apeshit and beating the shit out of him, but then his actions turned more⦠intimate. It was as though Caleb was enjoying the feel of washing his body.
He had to admit, he had been more than a little turned on. Part of him wanted to scream and run away from the big scary man, but another part of him wanted to lean into the intimacy of the act and feel some sort of comfort, some sort of physical connection with another human being. Even if it was with the guy who hated his guts.
But then Caleb ran off. It was like his body suddenly shut down and he was Robot Caleb again. Mr. Freeze.
Preston wondered if it had anything to do with the fact that Caleb had been touching a guy. He was most likely freaking out about it. As far as Preston knew, Caleb was one hundred percent straight. He had never actually seen Caleb date a woman but had seen plenty of women throwing themselves at him. Preston just assumed that Caleb pointed at a woman and said, âOn your back, baby.â
No, he was probably more of a caveman when it came to sex. âBend over, babe, and let Daddy rail you.â Yeah, that was probably more his style.
Preston sat down next to the tiny garden and rested his back against the glass. He watched as Caleb flopped down on his mattress and rested his arm over his eyes.
âI can feel you staring at me,â Caleb moaned after a few minutes. His arm remained in place as if trying to hide himself from the world.
âNot staring, just observing.â
Caleb removed his arm and turned his head. âIs there a difference? I think both would get you thrown in jail if you were doing it in front of a bedroom window.
