If you knew that I didn’t know, I mean?”
“Only in the fact that I would have broken it to you gently instead of shifting right in front of you. That was more of a shock to you than I wanted it to be.”
“I’m not sure that shock quite explains how I am feeling at the moment.”
Silence filled the room as Sam tried to put into words the wild thoughts rambling around in his head. He wasn’t sure he knew enough to tell Jesse, but mostly because he wasn’t sure how he felt.
“All of this was a shock, yes, but it’s more than that.” Sam drew his knees up to his chest and rubbed his hands over his face before letting them drop away. “Uhhggg, I wish I could put it into words, but there just aren’t any.”
“What can I do to make this easier on you?”
Sam glanced up at Jesse, strongly considering his words. What could Jesse do to make this easier on him? What did he want Jesse to do? That answer was easy. Sam said the first thing that came to his mind before he could stop himself.
“Will you hold me for a little while? Just hold me?” As much as his body protested otherwise, Sam didn’t think he was up for anything more. His stomach was still rolling. Right now he just felt so damned confused.
Jesse’s answer was immediate, but by the way his eyebrows shot up, he had totally not been expecting Sam’s request. “Of course.”
Sam swallowed hard and then scooted down in the bed enough that he could lay his head on one of the pillows and pull the blanket back up over his body. A moment later, he heard a rustling, and then Jesse slid into the bed.
Sam almost changed his mind when he realized that Jesse was only wearing boxers. Before he could say something, sleep started to pull him under. He must have been more tired than he thought.
Just before he fell asleep, Sam felt Jesse’s arms wrap around him and the man’s face nuzzled into his hair.
“Rest, sunshine,” Jesse whispered. “I’ll keep you safe.”
Chapter 5
Jesse felt peaceful and content, something he hadn’t felt in so long he barely remembered what the feeling was. He snuggled closer to the warmth pressed against the front of his body, grinning when he heard a small moan as he pushed his hard cock forward.
Jesse’s eyes snapped open when he suddenly realized that he held someone in his arms. It wasn’t his imagination or even a dream. Sam was in his arms…and pressing his ass back against Jesse’s cock in his sleep.
Jesse groaned, wanting more than anything in the world to stay right where he was, but he knew he couldn’t. Sam had had too much thrown at him in the last few days for Jesse to take advantage of him while he was sleeping.
“Sam,” he whispered into Sam’s ear. “It’s morning. It’s time to wake up.” Jesse couldn’t believe that they had slept the entire day away, and the night. The sun was just starting to come up over the mountains.
“Mmm,” Sam grumbled. His face wrinkled as he frowned and brushed his hand back against the side of his face where Jesse was.
Jesse chuckled softly as he leaned over and blew into Sam’s ear. His mate was obviously not a morning person. He’d have to fix that. He worked on a ranch. He was very much a morning person. “Wakey, wakey, sunshine.”
Sam’s eyes creaked open, and he tilted his head back to glare up at Jesse. “Wakey, wakey? What, are you two?”
Jesse knew his grin went from cheek to cheek. This feeling he had inside was the joy he wanted from Sam, and he was pretty sure only Sam could give it to him. “We have just enough time to get downstairs before breakfast is served.”
“I wanna sleep,” Sam whined.
“I’ll take you riding with me if you get up.”
“Riding?”
Jesse knew Sam liked going riding. Growing up on the ranch, Sam spent as much time as possible in the saddle. Of course, Jesse would have promised to rope the moon if that would have made Sam happy, too. Riding was a small thing to offer.
