Wolf Whistle

Richard started to toss and turn. Julien settled down and rubbed concentric circles on his beloved’s back, coaxing him out of his nightmare.


Richard dreamed of werewolf movies and silver bullets. The idea that something could happen to his Julien because he loved Richard was an anathema.
