Chapter 70

By the sound of Nick’s breathing and how the bed moved slightly with his motions, Todd knew Nick was lying on his back and just inches away.

Nick scooted closer until he was so close Todd felt the heat of his body, but he wasn’t quite touching Todd. A soft, shy kiss was pressed to his shoulder blade.

It was a simple gesture, one Todd recognized as a peace offering. He rolled onto his back and lifted the arm closest to Nick. Nick understood peace offerings, too. He wriggled in closer, pressing against Todd’s side and didn’t tense up when Todd put an arm around him and tugged him in more tightly.
