TORMENT

Istartled awake a while round three a.m. when my mattress dipped and a shivering physique crawled beneath the covers, legs and arms wrapping round me.

“Miz?” I murmured, rolling over and pulling him into my arms. “What’s unsuitable? You’re shaking.”

“I’m wonderful,” he breathed, however he clearly wasn’t. I got here absolutely awake, alarm lancing by way of me. Miz got here to me for intercourse and friendship, and humour on his unhealthy days, nevertheless it was Loss of life he sought when he wanted consolation and reassurance.

Over my useless fucking physique.

It took me some time to settle down, to melt the anger that stuffed me like lava, however I brushed a closing kiss to Miz’s head and slipped into sleep simply because the solar started to rise.

God assist anybody who fucked with the individuals I cherished.
