Chapter 49

Daniel held onto Clark, who clung to him in the dark. “I’m glad you got the night,” he said, and moved so that his lips were close to Clark’s. “No one else needs to know about you and Brian. He loved you, kept you for that night.”

Clark’s chest rose and fell in a frantic rhythm. His hands gripped Daniel, and his heart pounded in a deafening roar in his skull. He sucked in air with Daniel’s mouth still hovering over his. Daniel sighed and breathed softly into Clark’s mouth, then closed the gap, locking their lips open so that Daniel could take a slow, deep breath from Clark’s lungs.

Panic flash-flared when Daniel pulled air away, and Clark wanted to scream in the second he had to wait until Daniel breathed slowly, deeply into Clark. Like a bird of prey suddenly catching sight of something tasty moving on the ground, Clark’s mind turned away from the maelstrom of panic and saw only what Daniel did. How it felt. How it needed to work.
