Chapter 6

BRYCE woke in the small hours of the morning. He immediately remembered where he was and felt Paytah thrashing in the bed next to him. He settled for a few moments and then began moving again. Bryce lightly stroked Paytah’s arm, trying to calm him, but it got worse.

Paytah gasped and sat straight up in the bed, pulling the sheets around his hips. He sucked air loudly, and Bryce saw him look first one way and then the other. “Bryce, is that you?”

“Yes, I’m here,” Bryce soothed.

“I thought you were him,” Paytah whispered. “For a few seconds I thought I was back with him. But I’m not, am I?”

“No, and you never will be again,” Bryce said, sitting up as well. “You’re fine and you’re safe. He’s never going to get to you again. He can’t. I’ll rip his balls off first.” The vehemence of Bryce’s response startled even him. “If he looks at you cross-eyed, I’ll make sure he walks funny for a very long time, the sick fuck.” Bryce forced his anger away. It wasn’t going to help Paytah. “Lie back down, it’s okay.”

Paytah settled back on the bed, but seemed restless. Bryce tugged him close and lightly kissed Paytah’s shoulder. Damn, his skin tasted good, and Bryce had to restrain himself.

“What if he’s ruined me forever?” Paytah asked. “I told you I did some stuff when I was a kid, and I did. After I thought I’d left Mark behind. It didn’t work too well, and I got scared and backed away.”

“So you weren’t ready. That doesn’t mean you’re ruined or damaged. It just means you need to take it slow and know the person you’re with cares for you. Sex isn’t what it was with Mark, not really. That was him being greedy and taking what he wanted no matter what you had to give. That’s not caring—that’s abuse.” Bryce quieted and kissed Paytah’s shoulder, then he did it again, moving a little closer to Paytah’s neck. Bryce felt Paytah stiffen, so he moved away. “Nothing is going to happen that you don’t want to happen.” Bryce kissed him lightly again. “Do you want me to stop?” Paytah shook his head. “You have to say what you want.”

“No. Don’t stop,” Paytah whispered into the darkness, and this time Bryce kissed him at the base of his neck. He used his tongue to find that little spot, and Paytah groaned softly. Bryce was willing to bet no one had ever done this with him before.

“Not until you tell me,” Bryce whispered before licking up Paytah’s skin to just behind his ear. “See, you’re not broken. You just need someone to take care and show you what making love really is.”

“Making”—Paytah swallowed—“love.”

Bryce sucked lightly on Paytah’s ear, chuckling softly. He lightly stroked his hand over Paytah’s smooth chest, something he’d wanted to do since the first time he’d seen him without his shirt. He wanted to ask if anyone had ever done anything to make Paytah feel good, but he didn’t want Paytah to associate this with his past in any way.
