“Sponge bath afterward?”

“After dinner? Are you kidding? That’s what we’re doing after breakfast. You really are starting to smell a bit ripe.”

With a chuckle, Aden resumed eating. “After breakfast then.”

Though he’d held hopes the sponge bath might distract Darren from his dedication, all it did was leave Aden aching for more contact and tired from holding himself still. He went back to bed without protest and promptly fell asleep. When he woke up, there was a stack of books on the nightstand and his better glasses sitting folded on top.

He smiled as he put them on. As soon as he was better, he was spoiling Darren rotten.

On the fourth morning, Darren actually conceded to letting Aden sit at the table for breakfast. He hovered, fluttering around the kitchen in an oddly silent way. Like he was moving through shadows instead of a brightly lit room with a pot of coffee in his hand. Aden was feeling much stronger, but Darren didn’t look convinced of that.
