Chapter Eight

They sat together with Wren on Savior’s lap, pressed chest to chest. It had been two weeks of nothing but warmth, gentleness, and constant touching. It was as if Savior knew Wren needed all of it to erase the harshness and pain from his past.

The other shoe never dropped. It was amazing but true.

Wren wrapped his legs around him and clung. He didn’t want the bubble of the moment to pop. He liked how willing Savior was to just sit there with him. And how, so far, his touch was gentle even though Wren could feel his hard length against him.

“Do you have family, little bird?” Savior was always rubbing his back. It made him want to curl up like a cat on Savior’s lap and never leave.

The last person to rub his back had been his grandma when he was a little boy. “Grandma and Dad are dead. Car accident five years ago.”

Savior tightened his hold. “I’m sorry, baby.”

Wren didn’t want to think about how alone he felt. And he didn’t want to think about where he’d go after Savior stopped wanting to deal with Wren’s problems anymore. It needed to be addressed, though. “I don’t have anyone to call. I don’t know where I can go.”

Wren moved away, tracking the lines on Savior’s chest. He met Savior’s gaze.

Savior sucked in a breath. He came to some sort of realization. “I only asked because they would be worried about you. I want you to stay with me, but only if you want to.”

Wren studied his gaze, trying to find the lie or deception. All he saw was open honesty and maybe concern.

The muscles in Savior’s jaw jumped. For the first time since they’d woken, he was the one who averted his gaze. “I’ll help you get set up somewhere. If that’s what you want.”

“I don’t know.” Wren traced a tattoo of a skull with a red dragon surrounding it. The tail of the dragon wove its way inside the skull, coming out its open mouth as if the killing had been done and the dragon was leaving the sin behind.

“That’s okay, Wren.” He might have said it was fine, but he’d also used Wren’s name for the first time.

Wren scowled. “I don’t believe you.”

Savior growled. His eyes were different. It was as if they couldn’t choose what they wanted to be because they shifted between two different types. Wren didn’t know that much about actual foxes and nothing about dragons beyond what he’d read in story books as a child, but Savior had said he could shift into a fox and a dragon, so he figured he went between those two beings. At first it had scared him a little. It hadn’t taken him very long to trust it hadn’t meant anything bad or violent. But he wasn’t so sure about the growling. He stiffened, ready to scramble away if necessary.

All Savior did was say, “I haven’t lied to you. Not one time.”

Wren moved away. He sat near the edge of the bed and hugged his knees.
