Chapter 42

Aden solved his dilemma of what to do next by lumbering to his feet. He swayed slightly, the morphine still prevalent in his system. Darren grabbed a towel to dry off, but Aden nuzzled his hip before he was done.

He glanced down to meet the silvery blue eyes. Aden whined and looked to the door, then back to Darren.

“You ready for bed? I feel like I might pass out as soon as I lay down.”

He pushed the door open, allowing Aden to pass through. How long would it be before he had the energy or the inclination to shift again? He wished they could talk. He didn’t think Aden was upset Darren followed him—especially considering what could have happened—but he wasn’t sure Aden would be completely sanguine about it, either.
