Chapter 22: Gone
Asa POV:
Asa rolled over in bed, his hands coming from underneath his head to cover his mating bite.
The heat that normally radiated from it had subsided. The mating mark felt almost normal. It felt like it might finally start healing. Finding Chris from the bond got easier as well. no longer a pinprick in a dark canvas, Chris beamed like a lighthouse in the distance.
He felt himself getting closer to mooring himself on Chris’ shore.
Somehow, whatever the doctor did had begun to fix them. It had begun to fix Asa.
Asa heard footsteps downstairs and he rolled over.
Hopefully, Chris would come to lay with him again.
Asa tugged on the bond, hoping Chris would get the hint.
The medicine that the doctor gave him made him sleepy, his eyes wanting to close.
Footsteps ascended the stairs and Asa laid back, letting his eyes flutter closed as he waited for Chris’ woodsy teakwood scent to wrap around him.
He would wake up in Chris’ arms.
