Chapter 16

“I thought we’d established the fact that I’m tired of sleeping alone?”

“Okay,it’s entirely up to you.”

They returned to the master bedroom,where Josh pointed to a corner where Rex was curled up in a sheepskin bed.“His highness was worn out from the trip,”Josh said.“Normally,he’d be following me around the house.”Josh went to the bed and pulled the covers back.“I’m ready to call it a night.”

“Me,too.”

They got on opposite sides of the bed,then rolled over to meet in the middle.

“Just how tired are you,Jake?”Josh said.

“I’m not thattired.Just promise me one thing.”

“What’s that?”

“I don’t mind if,in the middle of things,you pretend that I’m Randy,but when you’re in the throes of passion,please don’t call out his name.”

Josh chuckled at that.“Not to worry.I’m an expert at compartmentalizing things.”

“Good.So what exactly do you like to do in bed?”

“Right now,I just need to be held,and I suspect that pretty much holds true for you.”
