beautiful body.
    “Thanks Ryan, I don’t think I could have coped with the cab drive for much longer. Do you think he chose the bumpiest way here on purpose?” His mouth breaks out in a wide smile that goes straight to my groin.
    “Yeah, I think you may be onto something there. Can I get you anything? Something to drink?” I suddenly feel the need to get away from him before I do something stupid. Like kiss him.
    “Yeah, some water would be good, or maybe some mouthwash?” He lets out a dry laugh, as he remembers what was last in his mouth, then he grimaces and I can see he’s about to gag.
    Moving quickly I kneel in front of him to gently pull him into a soft hug. “Don’t think about it babe, it’s done and he’s away from you now.”
    His shoulders shudder as he breaks down, I can feel his tears through my shirt. “Less than three hours back here Ry, three fucking hours and this happens. What the fuck is wrong with people?”
    “It’s not normally like that here now, I promise you. You just happened to come across the worst kind of people we have here. Chip Palmer is an asshole as are his two cronies who are still too stupid to break away from his grasp. He’s always been a bully but at least we can stop him now. Please tell me you are going to go ahead and press charges.” I whisper all this to him while he continues to sob on my shoulder.
    Lifting his head away from me, I watch him dry his eyes on his sleeve. “Yes, you’re damn right. I never thought I would be strong enough, brave enough to. But being back here now, where all the troubles in my life started, as a different man I can face my demons and beat them.”
    “I’ll go and get you some water Nico, I’ll be right back.” He nods as I walk away but I turn before I get to the doorway. “If it means anything to you I’m glad you’re here. I never thought I would see you again.” His eyes widen and I can see the shimmer of more tears, but these don’t fall.
    When I go back with the bottle of water his head is back against the sofa and his eyes are closed, I don’t think he’s asleep but he’s not far off. I look him up and down. His jeans fit tight around his thick thigh muscles, his black T-shirt is stretched tight across his pecs and abdomen. Both areas I have spent hours staring at in his magazine articles, letting my mind wander back to the time he was mine
    “Come on Nico, you need to get to bed and sleep, I don’t know how far you’ve driven today.” I look down at my watch, “I suppose it was yesterday now, but after that and everything else I think you need to let your body shut down and heal.”
    When his eyes open I hold out my hand for him and he grasps it tightly, letting me help him up from the sofa. We walk together up the wide staircase, I notice that he hasn’t let go of my hand, if anything his grip has tightened around mine. I show him into the guest room.
    “The bathroom is through that door.” I point over to the right hand wall. “Everything you need is in there. I’m just down the hall on the other side, if you need me.” I see a spark of life in his eyes when I say that and it makes me draw breath. We both end up just staring at each other. “Get some sleep babe, we can talk again later today.”
    “You keep calling me babe, do you realize that?” He questions me with his eyes blazing, but with what exactly? Anger? Confusion? Desire?
    “No, I hadn’t. I’m sorry I’ll make sure I don’t again. Goodnight Nico.” As I leave, I hear him quietly speak again.
    “Please don’t, I liked it.” His deep husky voice washes over me.
    My feet still for just a fraction of a second before I walk across the hallway to my room, closing the door firmly behind me I lean against it, as I feel my heart pounding hard in my chest. I still love him, it isn’t just a memory I’ve been grasping and clutching onto, it’s real. I feel it, the raw emotion running through my blood and my mind. I take a quick shower
