When I wake up, the morning is dull and dreary with an overcast sky and a wind that batters against the house as if it’s trying to get in. I shuffle downstairs in my boxers, yawning so widely my jaw creaks. The house is quiet. No music playing, no clattering pans or tuneless humming, so Blue is definitely at work. He has a way of filling the house with little noises, and I love knowing that he’s somewhere close by, and I’ll see him any second.

There haven’t been any strange noises or occurrences since the night of the smudging, but he’s still been sleeping with me. After the old man’s revelations about the possible danger of Blue staying in this house, I didn’t think he should be anywhere near that strange room.

As if by silent agreement, nothing has happened between us since that kiss on the street. I don’t want him to feel obligated to please me like I’m some version of one of his old customers. That decision has been made immeasurably more difficult due to the fact that each night he’s slept in his briefs and my T-shirt that he’s taken a liking to. The same briefs that hug his narrow hips and show off that long, lean body. And the same T-shirt that makes some caveman part of me love how it’s my clothes that are keeping him warm.

Instead of shagging, we’ve lain peacefully in the silent bedroom. It’s been a haven lit by warm lamplight as we’ve read our books and discussed anything that seemed relevant. He’s related incidents from his day at work, and we’ve laughed.

And when I’ve switched the light out, he’s snuggled into my side. Rather than rolling away or telling him no, I’ve wrapped my arms around him and felt him fall asleep. They’re the tamest nights I’ve ever spent, yet they’ve felt far more intimate than if we’d spent our time in the bed fucking. I like that intimacy far more than I should.

However, while he’s slept peacefully when we’ve switched the light out, I haven’t. Whichever position I’ve lain in, Blue has ended up snuggling into me, almost pinning me to the bed.

I’d lain awake for hours last night, my cock throbbing in my underwear and the scent of peaches in my nostrils and my arms full of him. I’d finally fallen asleep at dawn this morning and hadn’t noticed when he’d got up. I’d woken very late to a note telling me he’d gone to work with lots of exclamation marks that made me smile.

In the kitchen, I set about making tea and putting on some toast while the radio plays. When “Red Light Spells Danger” by Billy Ocean comes on, I make an automatic move to switch it off. This was my mum’s favourite song. She used to dance around the kitchen with me to it when I was little, both of us doing silly dance moves and laughing so hard we’d end up bent double.
