Somebody to Die For

Avery just blinked at him, and Jameson smiled at his owlish expression. Damn he was cute.


“More water? More meds? Something to eat?” Jameson elaborated when Avery didn’t speak.


Another beat of silence, and Avery sighed again. “No. No food yet. Maybe in a little bit.”


“Okay. Then what do you need right now?”


Jameson crossed the floor in four long strides, so he stood right next to the couch and looked down at Avery and the conflict playing out over the man’s face. Jameson would give him anything he needed, but first Jameson had to know what it was.


“I can. Just tell me. Whatever it is.”


“Can you hold me?” he whispered. “Just for a minute.”


Jameson didn’t say anything. He just sank down onto the couch and opened his arms. It took a moment for Avery to move, but when he did, he fit himself under Jameson’s chin with ease, and Jameson’s arms wrapped around him and Avery settled back.
