Chapter 20

“Here are some sheets for the bed,” Leo said, walking into the spare room with his arms full of pale green sheets for the double bed.

Nolan turned from the dresser where he’d been filling it with his clothes. He smiled. “Thanks, Leo.”

“Want me to make it up for you? I can do it if you want.”

“Either way.”

Leo grabbed the two pillows on the bed and slipped them inside pillowcases. “Listen, I know that had to be rough earlier with your dad. Are you all right?”

“It was pretty much what I expected if he was home,” Nolan said with a little shrug. “I just hope he doesn’t cause you and Galaxy too much trouble. He can be a real dick.”

“We’ve handled some pretty bad stuff before. We can handle him.” Leo pulled the fitted sheet over the mattress. He hadn’t pressured Nolan for more sex. The last thing he wanted to do was to give the impression he was forcing him into anything he was not comfortable with. But he would definitely have liked Nolan staying in his room with him.
