Chapter 16

RYLEY WOKE the day after his birthday and breathed a sigh of relief. Another year gone by without anyone acknowledging the day. Just how he liked it.

The nightmares had gotten worse, of course. They always did around that time of year, and he had no idea why, but he'd learned to expect it. Now, though, the day was behind him. With any luck, he could move on and have a slight reprieve from the tormenting images of dark figures and blood.

He couldn't be entirely at ease, though. Asher was getting worse. Sure, the man was trying desperately to hide the fact that he was in pain, but Ryley saw. He noticed every little wince of pain that Asher tried to mask, heard every sharp intake of breath when the man moved the wrong way. Ryley was itching to drag the man to a doctor, but every time he asked Asher about it, the man insisted he was fine.

Going against every fiber of his being, he'd even tried to stop having sex with Asher since that always seemed to make it worse, but Asher always managed to tease and arouse him until he couldn't resist any longer, and with each passing day, they still fell into bed naked more often than not. Incredible as the sex was, Ryley was having a damned hard time saying no, but each time he saw Asher suffering, he knew something was going to have to change.

The really weird thing, though, was that Asher got worse every time Ryley had a nightmare, too.

Ryley couldn't make sense of it, but he had absolutely no way to explain it. Until he could convince Asher to go see a doctor, they'd be entirely without answers, and that was assuming there were even answers to be had.

It just didn't add up.

They wound up with a long weekend when Ryley suddenly found himself without any cases or contracts to work on, so Asher went to stay with Ryley, and they spent the days being totally lazy, curled up on the couch and watching films or making out in bed, not bothering to get up except to eat. Ryley woke Asher with a blowjob—that was the only sexual activity that never seemed to cause a problem—but otherwise tried to keep things pretty tame. The last thing he wanted was to spoil the weekend by seeing Asher suffer.

But Ryley's resistance was weakening. Every time Asher touched him or just looked at him a certain way, he found himself on the verge of begging Asher to fuck him, right then and there.

They were curled up on the couch, watching a film while Asher teased him with soft, lingering touches, and Ryley was just about to snap and give in to temptation when his mobile rang.

Fuck. Thank gods. He took a deep breath to compose himself, then got up and answered the call.

“Hello?”

“Dude,” Zac replied. “Jam session. Get your ass over here.”

Asher glanced up at Ryley with a questioning look. Ryley chuckled and rolled his eyes, throwing himself back down on the couch at Asher's side.
