I’m sitting on the edge of the bed when Tristan’s sharp intake of breath breaks my silent staring contest with the wall. I release my legs from my chest and turn toward him. His breathing picks up and then evens out. He sits up and puts his head in his hands a moment before looking up. Our eyes meet in the dark.

“Are you okay?”

I nod and lie. “I’m okay.”

I’m not sure how long I slept before the specter of Bones’s face propelled me into a heart-thumping state of perpetual alertness. I’ve been staring at the wall ever since, waiting for the nightmare to recede. I tried to replace it with something else. Something happier and sunnier. But thoughts of my carefree past only remind me of what I’ve lost. A walk or some tea would be a nice distraction, but being in the same room as an unconscious Tristan is better.

Selfishly, I’m glad he’s awake now so I can soak up more of him. He motions me toward him. I crawl up the bed and settle between his thighs. He leans against the wall and I against his chest. He’s warm, like a heated blanket around my torso.

“What was the dream?”

He doesn’t answer. Instead his lips drift to my shoulder, his hands to the apex of my thighs. I’m bare under the oversize T-shirt, a circumstance I’m grateful for when his fingertips graze me slowly.

My breath leaves me. “Oh.”

When I shift against him, I can feel his erection, which I’m guessing his dream inspired. I snake my hand behind to circle his hot flesh. He sucks in another sharp breath and plunges his fingers into me at once. I moan and arch against him.

“Are you sure you want this?”

His voice is gravel against my skin. Something about the way he says it makes me shiver.

“I want this.”

He tightens his arm around my torso, holding me there in an unexpected embrace.

“Do you know I love you? That no matter what happened, I always did? I need you to believe it, because then I can live with myself. If you believe it, it’ll be real.”

I cover his arm with mine, returning the message without words. I need him. I love him. Always want to be with him. That’s never changed over time and distance and this dark turn our lives have taken.

“I believe it.” My voice breaks when I say it.

“I just lost sight of the thread between us. It was never broken. I promise you.”

I can’t utter another word without breaking down. I don’t want to hurt. I want to love. I want to lose myself in him. Banish the hurt and the pain.

He seems to know, because he slowly loosens his grasp, shifts us so we’re both lying down, and spoons his hard body behind me. He trails his fingertips down my arm, sending goosebumps racing over my skin. His soft lips follow. Endless minutes are spent in this silent worship. Our limbs tangle. The slide of his skin over mine is the sweetest torment.
