??Uh huh.?? Kevin found one of Joey??s nipples and began to nurse on it.
??You want to go and get cleaned up???
Kevin considered the question, but realised he didn??t have the energy. ??Nope. I just wanna stay here and love you. Please, Sir, please don??t ever leave me.??
Kissing the top of Kevin??s head, Joey said, ??I promise.?? 15
Joey stirred. A quiet dripping sound was relentlessly eating into his consciousness, pulling him out of his sleep. Though he tried to ignore it, his brain refused to let go as it attempted to identify the source of the noise. He kept his eyes tightly closed, hoping if he ignored whatever was going on, he??d be able to recapture the comfortable dark warmth of his dream. But it was no good. The noise persisted.
