It took nearly two hours to drive back to Summer’s farmhouse. As he pulled into the driveway, Dale looked at Riadh. Riadh had fallen asleep, curled against Dale’s shoulder. He looked so…vulnerable. That was not a word Dale tended to associate with Riadh, but then until a few hours ago his lover hadn’t been human. Human meant no longer bound to another’s wishes. Human meant he wouldn’t have to spend hours in a box. But human also meant mortal. That last realization sent a pang of fear through Dale. Mortal meant he could lose Riadh.
Dale switched off the car and leaned over, placing a gentle kiss on Riadh’s forehead. Riadh jerked awake with a gasp, looking disoriented and scared. “Easy, you’re safe. We’re at Summer’s.”
“I thought I was in the box and he was…” Riadh trailed off.
