“Oh my gosh, nooo!” He laughed and hurriedly plastered himself to my upper body so I couldn’t reach.

Cam blinked drowsily and lifted his head from the pillow. “Hi.”

“Hey, baby boy. Sorry we woke you up.” I lowered Noa onto the bed.

Cam shook his head. “I was just dozing. Netflix asked if I was still watching, and I can’t reach the remote.”

“I hate when that happens,” Noa huffed.

So did I, and I thought I’d changed it. “How are you feeling?” I grabbed the remote next to the flat-screen.

“Not too bad.” Cam shrugged. “A bit sniffly, is all.”

Let’s hope it didn’t get worse.

After shrugging out of my clothes, I slipped under the covers and climbed over Noa. If I was going to be properly suffocated in cuddles, I had to be in the middle. Wait—fuck. I should’ve thought of this sooner.

“Can I get you anything?” I felt Cam’s forehead, relieved he didn’t feel feverish. “Tea? Water? Juice?”

He shook his head and shifted under my arm so he could use my chest as a pillow. “I have tissues and the best pillow. I’m good, Sir.”

“I’m also good,” Noa said. “And, Cameron, if you do get sick, I’m gonna stick to sucking your dick and not your face for a while. Okay?”

I rumbled a laugh and kissed the top of his head.

“Oh, how will I live?” Cam teased. “I get it. You prefer when my dick sneezes.”

“Oh God,” I groaned through a laugh.

Noa cracked up hard, and Cam was very pleased with himself.

How on earth was I going to nap now?

Actually, I could just wait for the medication to kick in.

“We should be sleeping,” I felt the need to point out. “We don’t wanna make Daddy mad.”

“I kinda do—he’s hot when he’s mad,” Noa snickered.

He wasn’t wrong.

CHAPTER 6

KC Hayles

We could reheat the food later. I couldn’t bring myself to wake them up.

Instead, I pulled out my phone and took a picture. Cam and Noa had their heads on Lucian’s chest, and they looked so peaceful together.

There. My new background photo in black and white. Perfect.

Leaving the takeout bag on the floor outside the bedroom, I pushed myself away from the doorframe and aimed for the bed. I let my cane drop on the carpet before I removed my pants and sweater. Then I carefully crawled into bed next to Noa, and he made a sleepy sound and gravitated toward me.

“Nap time, Daddy,” he mumbled.

“That’s right, baby.” I pulled him closer and let out a long breath.

We were finally heading in the right direction. I couldn’t fucking describe how relieved I was that Lucian had quit his job. At the same time…one thing kept gnawing at me. I wouldn’t be able to relax completely until we’d told Christine about us. We’d postponed that conversation for six damn months—with valid reasons—but enough was enough.
