“Sssshhhh,” I murmured into his hair. “It’s all right.”
I wasn’t sure what had set him off other than this morning with Mason or him coming home to Carson in our RV, but he had to know I would never do anything to hurt him. Didn’t he? I loved him.
Watson only seemed to want to get closer as he slipped one leg between mine and then wrapped the other around my waist. When I tried to force him to look at me, he shook his head and kept his face pressed against my chest, his sobs still heavy enough to shake us both. But when he finally grew quiet, Watson pulled back to look at me with red eyes and a vulnerability I had never seen before.
“Better now?” I dragged my thumb over his cheekbones the way I knew he liked. He shook his head before dropping his gaze to my mouth. “What can I do to make it better for you?”
“Just this... It’s nice.”
“This is all you need from me?”
Watson nodded. “I like being close to you like this, baby.” He leaned forward to brush his lips over mine. “Another time I would say I want you to get me off, but now? Right now, I just want to cuddle.” He told me before burying his face in my neck.
This was... this was different. Not something I would expect from Watson when I knew his sex drive was extremely high, and he liked to fuck to get out his aggression.
“Whatever you need.” I rested my chin against his head and listened as his breathing grew deeper, his arms loosening around my body.
When I was sure Watson was asleep, I untangled myself from his body to go back to the kitchen, where I dug through the cabinets and fridge to make something to eat when he woke. I knew he’d be hungry, and when I found the ingredients for pizza, I quickly whipped up a vegetable one. Once that was in the oven, I checked on Watson, who was still sleeping. I went back to check my phone, which I’d left charging in the kitchen.
“Holt!” Watson’s voice from the bedroom was desperate and scared. “Holt, where are you?” I rushed in. He was sitting in his bed, looking more than a bit frightened and alone. “Where were you? I needed you. Why did you leave?” He reached for me.
I sank down next to him. “I’m right here, baby.” The endearment slipped from my lips. “I went to go start dinner.”
“You left me alone.”
“What’s going on with you today?”
He shook his head. “Nothing, I just...” Watson’s eyes met mine. “You made dinner?” When I nodded, he smiled. “Is it pizza?”
“Of course.” I gripped his chin between my fingers. “You need to talk to me first.” I leaned closer. “Tell me what happened today, Watson. This isn’t like you at all.” I was starting to get a little nervous.
Watson worried this lip between his teeth. “Mason... Everything just...” He sighed softly. “I don’t want you to think I’m going to lose my job.” He reached for my hand. “You and I... we’re good, okay?” He reached for my free hand and squeezed my fingers. “I got all up in my head, wrecked the damn car, and then I started thinking about what would happen if you weren’t here with me. I need you. I’ve always needed you, H. You’re my best damn friend. No one is taking you away. No one is breaking us up.”
I watched the way his chin trembled, and I was scared he might start crying again.
“If it comes out before we’re ready, are you going to be okay with that? I was scared for you more than me. I can get another ride. Hell, I’ll go back to Xfinity or trucks or something else if comes down to it, but you, fuck, baby.” He reached up to cup my head with his hand. “I was worried about you.”
“Watson.” I touched his wrist. “I—”
The buzzer for the pizza went off, and I jumped before I laughed softly. My body was all nerves and electricity at the fact he was worried for me, not himself or his career, and as I got up on shaking legs to go turn off the oven, I couldn’t seem to calm my racing heart.
Once I put the pizza on the stove. I took a few quick breaths, trying to gather myself together, only to have Watson come up behind me and wrap his arms around me.
“You called me baby.” His breath was hot in my ear. “Fuck, that’s so hot.” He groaned, his tongue flicking against my skin as he ground his hard cock against my backside.
There he was.
Watson spun me around to face him. “I think I’m ready for you to take care of me now.” He gripped the sides of my head. “You think you can do that?” He nipped at my bottom lip before fixing his mouth to mine.
I could definitely do that.
