Chapter Thirteen
Austin sniffed experimentally through his nose after a night of mouth breathing, judging by the foul taste coating his tongue. He found that one nostril was clear. It was a whole new beautiful world. He sat up in bed, his head spinning, but the pounding agony of a sinus headache reduced to a whisper.
Thank God for extra-strength cold meds and the restorative power of eight hours of sleep. He drew a deep breath and called out, âJay! Get in here. I can breathe!â
He sounded interestingly husky, not hoarse, and when he coughed it didnât trigger a prolonged fit of even more coughing. Dying was officially canceled.
He knew Jay was awake; heâd heard Jay moving around in the kitchen area making breakfast, but heâd drifted back to sleep again without registering the fact that he could smell coffee. When Jay didnât appear, he yelled his name again,
Jay stuck his head around the door, looking bleary-eyed and wearing sweats and a faded T-shirt. âShouting. Thatâs a good sign, right?â
Austin beamed at him. âHey, you. I feel better. Not, like, ready to scale tall buildings, but I can breathe again.â
âHeard you.â Jay came into the room, smothering a yawn. âGood. Great.â
âYeah.â Austin felt deflated, but when Jay sat down on the bed and gave him an apologetic smile, sleepy and sweet as sugar, he forgave him for popping his bubble. âYou donât look so good. God, I didnât give you my germs, did I?â
âYou know I never catch colds.â Jay reached down to his groin and winced. He made a careful adjustment to his junk.
It was something Austin wouldâve been happy to help him with when heâd had some coffee and was all the way awake, and when heâd had a nap.
âOw.â
âOw?â Austin peered down the bed, mildly curious. Everything looked normal as far as he could see. âAftereffects of last night? Sorry I was dead to the world when you got back in. I wanted all the juicy details, but I knocked myself out with cold meds.â
âJuicy?â Jay sighed and plucked restlessly at the rumpled sheet. âNot sure thatâs the right word. It was short and not sweet. I fucked up, Austin. I told you it was a bad idea me going by myself. I need you there to make sure I donât do something stupid.â
Austin had settled himself against the pillows, but that made him sit up, alarm and concern dousing his euphoria at being on the mend, along with a dollop of guilt. Heâd pushed Jay into doing the session solo, and his motives hadnât been entirely unselfish. Heâd wanted to sleep in peace so much, and Jay clattering about overhead had made that impossible. With Jay in that edgy mood, itâd seemed like a win-win situation to shoo him off to play. Make that a win-win-win. âJay, whatever it was, we can fix it. Spill.â
âIt was so fucking good at first.â Jay moaned, his eyes squeezing closed, his hands clutching the sheet beneath him. âWish youâd been there to see it, hear the things he was saying to me.
