All I Ask

(MILES)

I wanted to sleep but it ended up eluding me. I try to force it but that's extremely hard, considering the anxiety eating at me. Having Arlo in my arms doesn't exactly help either. I feel the warmth of his lithe body every time he shifts and it makes me hard. It's almost impossible to ignore him.

For the next few hours, I stay awake. I listen to Arlo's soft breaths. I'm glad that he finally fell asleep. He was so wound up earlier and for a minute, I thought he wouldn't sleep. To ignore the arousal, I play every possible scenario that might happen when Dalton comes back.
