There was a soft knock on the door. Before he could answer, the door opened and then closed again.
Abi didn’t speak, and there was no clanking of the toilet lid as Abi lifted it, so he wasn’t using the bathroom. But he waited long enough that Nash was worried. Then the shower curtain pulled back, and Abi stepped into the tub with Nash.
He was naked and taking Nash in as though he were about to sip a fine wine. “We need to talk.”
Nash raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Is that why you invaded my shower? To talk?”
Abi chuckled. “You don’t really think I’m invading anything.”
“I like you here.” Nash held Abi around the waist and then turned so Abi was under the spray. Abi’s skin felt cool to the touch. “You’re cold.”
“A little.” Abi wrapped his arms around Nash’s waist and hugged him.
Nash liked how tactile Abi had become. Nash held him, letting the hug go as long as Abi wanted.
“Are you okay?” Abi whispered.
“Are you worried about me, little mate?” Nash smiled.
Abi never worried about anyone, but Nash felt his worry through their strengthening bond. He wasn’t an emotional person.
Abi pulled away so their gazes could meet. “I can feel your emotions. At first, they were faint, but they’re stronger now. I know you had a hard time being around Mallor.”
“Our bond is getting stronger.” Nash could feel Abi too. It had strengthened with their time in the skybox. They only had to bite each other for it to be complete.
“That’s not my point.”
“I know.” Nash didn’t want to talk about his feelings. He certainly didn’t want to talk about his past. Not with Abi, anyway. The finer details had been shitty enough without having to relive them again. Therapy and long talks with his Dragon Skull brothers had gone a long way in helping. But Abi was right. Seeing Mallor again had brought it to the surface. Abi had made Nash forget, but when their lovemakingsession was over and they’d finished running from the scene with Mallor, it washed back into him again.
Nash cupped Abi’s cheek. “I’ll be okay.”
Abi initiated a kiss. “I had to make sure.”
“And you? How are you after all that?”
“Well, I want to suck your dick again.” Abi grinned.
Nash smiled.
Abi’s expression grew serious. “Do you think our cover is blown?”
Nash cupped his shoulders. “He’s definitely suspicious.”
“For sure. Hopefully, letting him drop us off helped him trust us.”
“Yeah, that’s why I’m hesitant to move hotels.” Nash grabbed the washcloth and soap and lathered up. “If he’s testing us, then we might pass if we stay put. It’s a gamble either way.
Abi leaned into him again when Nash began washing his back. “Feels good.”
“What do you want to do?” Nash moved down to his ass.
“Fuck and then talk about it later.” Abi’s cock grew hard, which made Nash hard.
“Shower sex?”
“Hell no. It’ll be awkward because of our height difference, and one of us will freeze half to death, probably you. Not only that, but I didn’tthink to bring the lube. I was too excited at the thought of seeing your gorgeous naked body.”
Nash chuckled. “Then I guess we'd better finish our shower so we can get on to the fun part.”
