Chapter 7

??Hell, man,?? Joey pulled Kevin onto his knee and gave him a tight squeeze. ??You??re a fucking wonderful little bloke. But too much shit has gone on today, you??re still hurting from whatever Cal did to you, he was the one who hit you, right???

Kevin nodded against Joey??s shoulder.

Joey had an irresistible urge to punch Briggs?? lights out. He forced himself to relax. ??Listen, I really have to get some sleep.??

Kevin made no move to disengage from their hug, and if he were honest, Joey didn??t want to be separated from Kevin.

??Would you like to come and sleep in my bed tonight??? He felt Kevin??s body go rigid. ??Just to sleep, nothing else. The idea of just sleeping without sex held a strange appeal. Joey didn??t know where the thought had come from, he??d never ??just slept?? with a guy in, well, he didn??t know how long.

After a long silence, Kevin nodded his head in agreement.

Joey felt strangely elated. ??You need the toilet first???

??Please, Sir.??
