Ghost of a Chance

“And how do we seal the bond?” Blake asked, his voice oddly nasal sounding. A quick glance down showed Derek Blake’s eyes had filled. Blake blinked hard to clear the tears.


“Sex, of course.” Avery gave them another small grin. “You’re already connected. You just have to keep doing what you’re doing. And being together in the most intimate of ways, letting each other in, will cement the bond.”


“How will we know when the bond is complete?” Derek had to ask.


“Trust me,” Avery said, his voice low and full of conviction. “You’ll know. There will be no doubt.”


They sat in silence, lost in their own thoughts. Derek’s mind was racing. He needed out of that room, needed to be back home with Blake so they could talk in private. The desire to have Blake to himself was like an itch under his skin.


“Do either of you have any other questions?” Avery asked, breaking the silence. Derek had about a million, but none that Avery could answer. Blake shook his head.
