What is the thing you most regret NOT saying.Patrick woke up to the feel of arms sliding around his waist and pulling him close, closer than he already was and, without a word, Patrick allowed himself to curl up around the other man's body. No words were needed anyway, and Patrick merely sighed against Brendan's chest, content to just stay in his ( Read more... )

There were no screams this time, but the feeling of leather connecting with skin was a familiar one and even though he managed to hold back the screams, he could still hear them.
