Hush, Little Baby

Charlie Palmer was only supposed to stay for an hour.

Color a picture. Watch a movie. Pretend he wasn’t falling apart. Instead, he fell asleep… and woke up in the arms of a man who decided he belonged to him. Nikolaus Makris doesn’t do temporary.

He doesn’t do casual. And when he finds Charlie alone in the littles’ room—soft, hurting, and unprotected—he makes a decision that will change both their lives forever.

Charlie thinks he’s being taken. Nikolaus knows he’s being rescued. Too bad Charlie hasn’t realized it yet. But Nikolaus is patient. And very, very good at taking care of what’s his.

Hush, little baby… you’re home now.
