Michael sighed and pulled Sam into his arms because he didn’t want to see the devastation on Sam’s face. He kissed the top of Sam’s head and breathed in his scent.


“I know it’s a lot to ask from you, but I’m doing it anyway.” Michael nosed his way down to Sam’s temple and let his lips linger on Sam’s skin. “Just for a little while.”
