Chapter 15B
Cain
I should be at work. I have meetings, conference calls but I'm sitting in my kitchen, holding Grey's hand, watching him eat toast like it's the most important thing I've ever seen. When did I realize that I wanted to keep him for myself?
"I have to go in," I say. "Meetings."
He nods. Pulls his hand back. "I'll go home," he says. "Get changed. Come in later."
"No."
He blinks. "No?"
"You should stay here. I'll be back by noon."
Stay here and wait just like last night.
"Cain, I need to get my clothes from my apartment, I'll be back," he says.
"I'll have clothes brought. Let me do this," I say. "Let me take care of you."
"Why?"
I Walk around the table and stand in front of him.
"Because you need it," I say. "Because you've been alone for too long. Because you're mine now, and that means I get to look after you."
He looks up at me. And then he nods.
"Okay."
I kiss him before I leave. "I'll be back by noon," I say.
"I'll be here."
