Renton felt his insides liquefy when she handed him a cup of hot decaf coffee. She remembered. He nodded his understanding about where to find clothes. Renton submitted to her touch and examination. She was gentle and thorough. He winced, cringing when her probing fingers found a sore spot on his nose. It was only when he displayed pain that she took her hand away.
“Thank you, Julianna.” How many times had he said that already?
He didn’t know what to say to someone when they showed they cared about him. Thank them? Thank them for the trouble they went through for him. Now he was drawing Julianna into his whirlpool of misery and dilemma.
Renton moved off to get dressed. He hung the damp towel carefully and neatly on the towel rack in her bathroom before he dressed in the sweat pants and t-shirt she’d placed on the bed for him. He lingered around looking into her mirror at his injuries and feeling sorry for himself until he heard Julianna knock and enter the room.
She seemed to sense his self-loathing and touched him soothingly on his spine. Then she was inviting him into bed. He didn’t hesitate once she’d issued the invitation. Renton abandoned his coffee on her dresser and climbed into bed with her. He was careful not to jostle his injured side as he slipped beneath the blankets and cuddled against her.
Renton wasn’t shy, he rested his head on her chest and nuzzled there. One arm was tucked underneath him, the other draped across her stomach.
“I wasn’t trying to steal.” He insisted. Something about the physical contact started a flow of words he’d been keeping in. “The slot machine had a data error. I was trying to fix it. I didn’t even care about the money.” He could feel his voice begin to get heavy with emotion. “I don’t want to go back to prison over this. They’ll send me away to a blacksite because of my charges.” His hand against her side tightened and he buried his face against her chest.
