Bab 48: Chapter 48

“Why can’t this be enough?” The glow he’d seen in Arlo’s eyes just a minute ago was gone.

Nash wished he could answer almost as much as he wished Arlo would look at him with longing, with desire. He ran his hands over Arlo’s torso, down toward his pajama bottoms. “Any other day, this would be enough. I never want to force you to do anything you don’t want to, but I’m running out of time.” He took a deep breath. “If you don’t want me, I’ll leave before I hurt you or anyone else.”
