Chapter 8

“I know you’re busy, but I’m afraid I hurt him.” Jared held the door open, but once McBride was inside, he closed it and then stood in his living room, bouncing from foot to foot like a child in dire need of the restroom.

“You think you hurt Easton?” McBride looked around. “He’s still in bed.”

McBride grimaced then strode that direction.

Jared was right on his heels.

Once inside the bedroom, McBride stumbled then reached for the

light. “I can’t see anything.”

“He said the light hurt his eyes.”

“Easton?”

“I’m here.” His voice sounded dreadfully weak.

“I’m going to turn on the light. Cover your eyes with your hand,

all right?”

“Yes, sir.”

After a moment, McBride flicked on the light. Easton was

swaddled up in bed, his forearm over his eyes. He looked pale, but that might be because the bedding was all in very dark navy blue. “What happened?” McBride moved to the bedside and settled on the edge. He reached out to Easton, which caused Jared to flare with anger, but he quickly squashed the irrational rage. McBride was here to help, not harm his mate. Jared settled on the other side of the bed.

“I don’t feel well.” Easton’s arm muffled his voice, but it was still understandable.

“Did you and Jared have sex last night?”

When Easton didn’t answer, Jared felt his belly fall down to his feet. Had he hurt him by being too rough? He thought he’d taken his time and prepped his mate thoroughly. Terror made him tremble as he turned toward McBride.

“I was looking at him and then teasing him with my finger. I got greasers from my brother, but I went slowly. I thought—I thought it felt as good to him as it did to me.” Jared couldn’t have felt worse. All he’d wanted to do was give his mate pleasure, but instead all he’d done was give him pain. “I’m so sorry.”

Easton uncovered his eyes and looked at Jared. He didn’t look in pain, he looked guilty. “I can’t do this.”

“What do you mean?” Jared reached out and took his hand. “If you’re hurt, I’ll get you help, I’ll do everything I can.”

“It’s not what you did, but what I did.” Easton turned to McBride. “Please don’t be angry with me.”

“I want you to sit up and explain.” Normally, McBride was very calm, but today he seemed cross.

Tentatively, Easton rose until he was sitting in bed. His eyes were sunken, and Jared realized he’d been crying. Now the curious sound he’d heard last night made sense. His mate had been in tears, and he’d put a pillow over his head so he could get some sleep. He berated himself for being such a jerk.

“I should have told you the truth, but I was afraid you wouldn’t buy me, and Ididn’t want to go back to the thrall house.” Easton’s hand crept up to his neck and rested there.

“Tell me the truth now.” McBride sounded so tired that Jared wouldn’t be surprised if he fell asleep right here and now. “I can’t handle any games, not when things are in such upheaval.
