Chapter 22
“Can’t sleep?” Sebastian’s voice was low and rough.
Hawkins shook his head. His gaze never shifted from Sebastian’s. There was such loneliness and longing, such yearning in those slate grey depths. Sebastian moved closer, like he would approach a nervous animal. When Hawkins didn’t move, just stood there staring at him, Sebastian reached out slowly, slowly, and placed a hand on his jaw. Hawkins eyes fluttered closed for a second, then opened again as he leaned into the caress a fraction. Sebastian’s heart leaped. He moved cautiously, angling his head, giving him time to pull away, shout, thump him…He did none of those things. He waited. Waited for the kiss he knew was coming and Sebastian’s heart clenched in his chest so tightly it hurt.
