Me: Told him I love him. He said it back.

Noah: Congratulations!

Me: Thanks. Love you.

Noah: Love you too.

"Everything all right?" Jamal sat up by using his good arm as leverage.

"Playing hooky from work. Noah is good with it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yup." I climbed back on the bed and knelt beside him. I started with the smaller cock ring. It was practically off his soft dick already. I glanced at Jamal. He was chewing his bottom lip as he watched me. The larger ring came off easily enough along with the empty condom.

I tossed everything at the end of the bed.

"We're too covered in lube and cum to go upstairs," Jamal said.

"Well." I sat beside him. He laid back down and clutched my bicep. "Either we can have a shower, or we can call Meera for room service. I'm sure she wants to make sure you're okay."

"Room service sounds perfect."

I brushed my hand up and down his torso. "How's your stomach?" While we'd been fucking, he'd been engaging his core. It had to be hurting after taking a kick to the belly.

"Don't worry." He placed his hand on mine. "I'm fine. I'm tougher than I look."

"I'm discovering that about you."

He smiled at me. "So … million-dollar question. How was bottoming?"

"Oh, my god." I rolled my eyes dramatically. "So good."

"Mm." He cuddled in against me, his face pressed to my arm. "Good. Because I love you and I want to make you feel good as often as I can manage."

I chuffed out a short laugh and caressed his arm. "Sounds perfect." I dragged my fingertips up and down his skin. "I love you too." It was better than sex saying that aloud.

"This is sublime, but I need to drink my water and stretch." Jamal rolled away from me onto his back. I lay and watched him as he lifted his legs and brought them to his chestfollowed by some other positions where he made accommodations for his injured arm.

He twisted and opened his bedside drawer then peered over his shoulder at me.

"I have to put in a suppository."

"Oh." I hadn't expected that. But I guess it made sense. "I need to take a piss." I left the bed and headed for the bathroom to give him some privacy. I took my time, emptying my bladder, brushing my teeth, and washing up. I opened the cabinet and set a catheter package on the counter. We'd need to do that again soon. We'd been asleep for over twelve hours.

"Liam, I'm done."

I returned to the bedroom. Jamal was sitting up against the headboard, drinking from a large water bottle I hadn't noticed before. "It's important for you to stay hydrated."

"Things don't work if I don't."

I sat beside him and played with his fingers. "You're so beautiful."

Jamal laughed. "You have funny timing."

I turned and cupped his face. "No, I mean it. Everything about you is beautiful. Not simply your face or your body. Which I am a big fan of. Your bravery is stunningly beautiful."

"Where on earth did you come from, sweet man?"
