Chapter 8

Gideon picked Jyran’s clothes up from the ground and held the door open for him. A squirrel. A fucking squirrel was following him up the stairs. Though he was kind of cute—not that he’d ever admit it aloud—and it had been impressive to watch him jump from tree to tree.

When they reached the apartment, Gideon unlocked the door and motioned for Jyran to enter. “Do you want something to eat before sleep?”

Jyran shook his head, which had Gideon flatten his lips. He was hungry. Gideon had heard his stomach rumble, and he’d shifted twice during the night. “I’ll fix something. What do you like?”

Jyran didn’t move and didn’t look at him.

“Come on.” He walked forward to the first door after the hallway. “This is the guest room. It’s not much, but a bed.”

When Jyran was about to move into the room, Gideon closed the door in front of his nose. “The kitchen is this way.”

If a squirrel could glare, it was what Jyran was doing. Cute. Gideon chuckled. Urgh, he had lost his mind.

“In here.” He moved into the small kitchen. He didn’t use it often. Most often, he ate at the bar. Amir’s cooking was far better than his, and he mostly used this for breakfast. “What would you like?” He bit his tongue not to crack a joke about nuts.

No reply came.

“Can’t you shift back?”

Jyran ignored him.

“Eggs? I could fry some or do you want them boiled?” He narrowed his eyes. “Raw?”

Jyran huffed.

“I have cereal. Or I have bread if you prefer.” He studied him. His fluffy tail was drooping, and if a squirrel could look dejected, he was.

“Change back. I’ll feed you, and we’ll go to bed, and tomorrow is a new day, okay?” It came out softer than he’d meant it to. Jyran’s day hadn’t been great, and Gideon wanted to take care of him.

Jyran huffed, but then the air shimmered and soon he stood naked in the kitchen. Gideon swallowed hard as he slid his gaze over his body, from his toes all the way up to his collarbones. He was lithe, but there was sinewy strength. Wide shoulders, toned chest, flat stomach with defined abs. Nothing extreme, not a result of hours spent in a gym, but Jyran was fit. Gideon wanted to touch. Wanted to run his hands all over, wanted to kiss and nibble. It had an aching need spreading in his body, heat pooling, and his cock grew hard.

He pulled in a breath and wished he could’ve bathed in Jyran’s scent. A small moan escaped him, and he took a step closer. His eyes roamed. He wanted to trace the edge of his hipbone, nibble on his collarbone, tease his nipple, nuzzle his neck, but Jyran took a step back.

Gideon’s gaze jumped to his face. The look there stopped him short. Jyran wasn’t turned on. He looked sad and tired.

“Seen enough?”

No. Though Gideon had a feeling it would never be enough. “Are you cold?” Gideon was still holding his clothes, but he couldn’t get himself to hand them over.
