Trevor jumped when someone squeezed his ass roughly, and then he and Skyler were separated. Only by a few feet, but it was too much. He couldn’t get through the mob to reach Skyler, and he saw Skyler’s face drain swiftly from pleasant to terrified. Skyler yelped as someone tore his shirt at the sleeve. They pulled at his hair. They had their hands all over him, and Skyler looked so freaked out it made Trevor see red.
Aggressively pushing the girls off his own body, Trevor shoved his way to Skyler’s side. He batted girls’ hands away, swinging his arms in all directions, not caring who he hit.
Finally, help appeared. A very large security guard managed to grab on to both him and Skyler, leading them through the crowd and over to the street where a car pulled up. Trevor refused to remove his arms from around Skyler’s body, and Skyler had his head ducked down on Trevor’s shoulder, hiding his face.
“It’s okay,” the man said, as he ushered them inside the car, and Trevor nearly screamed at him for somehow letting this happen.
Even once he and Skyler were safe, they didn’t move away from each other. Skyler was trembling, but he was gradually calming down as Trevor rubbed a hand up and down his back.
Trevor started to feel mildly guilty for how he’d treated the girls. He was also aware Maggie would murder him if someone ran a story about him assaulting fans. But what choice had they left him? In the heat of the moment, all he could focus on was the look of sheer terror on Skyler’s face. All that had mattered was getting to him and keeping him safe.
Skyler still looked a bit shaken up by the time they got back to their place, but he seemed a lot better than he was in the car.
Their place.
It still amazed him that he and Skyler lived together. They’d lived together with the whole band, sure. But this was different. This house was just theirs.
The rest of the guys had rented their own places, and he and Skyler could have each afforded their own too, obviously, but they wanted to stay together. They hadn’t even considered a different option. And on days like this, when the reality of their fame and the chaos it could cause hit hard, it was a relief to have their shared private place to escape to. Where they could be simply Trevor and Skyler, rather than Trevor Blue and Skyler James.
He led Skyler to the couch, urging him to sit. “Want me to make you some tea?”
Skyler shook his head. “Just want you to hold me please.”
He sat down beside Skyler and pulled him closer until Skyler was half on his lap. As he rubbed Skyler’s back, he said, “Security should have been better. I’m so sorry that happened to you.”
“It’s not your fault.”
“I know. But still. I hated seeing you scared like that. And I’m not proud of it, but I was ready to rip those girls apart if that’s what it took to get them off you.”
Skyler chuckled. “It was hot. How protective you were.” Trevor hid his face in Skyler’s collarbone. “I thought you were going to go all caveman and throw me over your shoulder. Run away with me back to your cave.”
“This isourcave,” Trevor told him, right before standing and bending back down to scoop Skyler up at the waist. With a bit of a struggle, he managed to hoist him over his shoulder.
Skyler laughed, wriggling to be put down. Trevor grabbed a handful of his ass to keep him still so he wouldn’t drop him, but when Skyler gasped, Trevor immediately set him back on his feet.
He could have smacked himself. How stupid was he for manhandling Skyler after what he’d just been through? “I’m so sorry.”
Skyler shook his head and stepped in closer to him, grasping on to the collar of his shirt. “No, I liked it. After having all those strangers’ hands on me, I want to feelyourhands on me. To remind me that I’m only yours.”
“Mine.”
The word slipped from Trevor’s lips like a reflex. Becauseyes, he should be the only person allowed to touch Skyler. But he’d do it gently. Treat him like he was something precious. Because he was.
He reached for Skyler’s hand and led him to bed. There, he prompted him to lie down on his side before getting in behind him, spooning him so that their bodies were touching from their heads to their feet.
He would have been happy to simply cuddle him to sleep, but Skyler asked for more. So Trevor made love to him in this position. Slowly, making sure they’d both feel how connected they were the entire time.
It felt like a huge privilege to be the person Skyler trusted with his body. His desires, his heart, his everything. Trevor would keep it all safe. Because Skyler washiseverything.
And when they were finished, Trevor still couldn’t let go of him. As they drifted off to sleep, he buried his face in Skyler’s hair, holding him tightly, and marveled at how lucky he was.
The world could have Skyler James, the superstar.
But only he got to havethisSkyler.
