Chapter 136: When Steve Comes Out of the Hospital ...

Steve was a noble-hearted man, but the pain he suffered was too intense to bear. So he broke down and plunged into the darkness of alcohol, casual sex, and equally random violence. He wandered in the sphere of darkness for years, not believing he could get out, until one day someone reached out to him and offered to help. And although Martin was not the first person to want to help Steve out of the darkness, it was this boy’s voice that reached him first and opened the way for others.

Probably the darkness will never completely disappear from Steve’s eyes. It was engraved in his heart and in his memory. As long as at least one human has bad intentions for Steve and wants to harm him in some way, this darkness will be fed. However, it will not grow, because the place to grow will be taken away by the light that Martin lit on Paxton’s heart. Martin was the brightest sun in Steve’s eye galaxy, but there were also smaller stars and moons like the people in the stables and even Jack.

Kevin Moore decided that while he himself would probably never become one of the stars in Paxton’s eyes, he wanted to protect that light. He wants to protect Steve’s heroic struggle and survival precisely because it’s so hard. Just like he would do with his own brother and how Jack would do with Steve.

"I don’t need proof to know you’re innocent," he said. "But I will take this video and provide my colleagues as confirmation of your alibi and proof that when you parted with Rita, she was alive and well. I think this will eventually exclude you from being a suspect. "

"Professor Moore," Steve addressed him. "Catch that girl’s murderer. Show him that his life is no more important than that of another person. This girl was not a saint, but she had the same right to live as anyone else. "

For some reason, the words took on a special meaning on Paxton’s lips.

"We’ll do this. We’ll catch that bastard, "Kevin promised. "And when you feel up to it, I hope you and Martin will come to dinner with me and Jack. You have to try how Jack cooks. He’s a really great cook. "

Paxton considered something for a moment, then nodded.

"All right," he accepted the invitation. "Soon I will have a lot of free time."

There was a darkness in his eyes again. Or maybe it never really disappeared, only the light dimmed a little. Looking at him, Kevin realized that Steve missed Martin very much, and that he needed his sunny presence very badly at this point.

Kevin felt a great longing for Jack and his cheerful, bright personality. Finding a suitable partner for himself was a great happiness and joy.

But now Steve more needed something else - rest. The nurse was right when she said that the patient after surgery and after heavy blood loss should be able to rest and regain strength. This whole thing with Rita and the murder accusation didn’t help him with that.

"Here we have an appointment," smiled Moore. "This is my business card. Call for professional but also ... private matters. Maybe one day we will be friends. "

"Maybe," Steve replied, taking a card in his hand.

For some reason, Moore decided he would like to very much be a friend with Paxton.

The wrench fell from Martin’s hand and fell to the ground with a loud clang. The boy leaned over to pick it up and saw Teddy’s legs. The old man was standing just a few steps from Martin, but the young mechanic did not even notice when his boss approached. He was too busy with his thoughts.

"You look bad today," remarked Teddy. "Are you sleeping badly?"

"A little," he admitted. He didn’t want the old man to worry about him, but he didn’t want to lie either. "I’m worried about Steve and I don’t think I will stop until he leaves the hospital."

"Or never," Teddy laughed suspiciously. "If you love someone and decide to have a relationship with that person, you take on a lot of joy, but also a lot of anxiety. Lots of worries. Whether he eats well, sleeps well ... You’ll have to get used to it. "

"Yes, you are right," Martin admitted, holding back a sigh.

"But you know what? You wouldn’t want to change that worry for anything else. Because there is nothing more beautiful than caring for a loved one and knowing that they care for you. I bet Steve cares no less for you than you do for him. "

Martin smiled shyly.

"You would have won," the boy admitted. "He keeps admonishing me to take care of myself."

"And what?" the old man asked. "Why are you not listening to him? I bet you haven’t had anything decent today. "

"I have no appetite. I can’t force myself to eat," Martin grimaced. "But yesterday I had a late and decent dinner. Tomorrow, Steve is due to leave the hospital, so I won’t be so worried anymore and ... "

A blush appeared on the boy’s cheeks and his eyes unknowingly wandered towards the convertible that witnessed his and Paxton’s indecency.

Teddy patted him on the shoulder.

"So you have to go to bed early today so that tomorrow comes asap," he said lightly. "I know you have a lot to worry about, but you must not lose hope and serenity. You have to have enough for two of you. "

"Yes," admitted Martin. "It must be harder for him than for me."

Martin was well aware of this, which made him even more worried. But Teddy reminded him that now Steve needed someone to help him boldly get through the difficult times, not someone to worry about. Paxton has enough of his own sorrows now and needs no more. Instead, he needs someone who will disperse the clouds that will gather in front of his eyes and give him a bright, sunny, full of energy and hope sky.

Martin remembered what Steve had told him in the bar, before the awful incident. The driver, since Hannah’s accident, has had an extremely hard time coping with stress. Martin knew about alcohol, about violence, about random sex. He also knew, although it was hard for him to understand, that since he became a part of Paxton’s life, the driver began to change, he started to be more calm, more composed and... he started to smile.

All these sad and unfortunate events of recent times were happening to Steve, and he was the one who needed comfort. So if Martin is someone who can give it to him, he cannot turn himself into a nightmarish grumble and sadness!

Sex has always been a good stress reliever for Paxton. Sometimes it was a bit indecent, but always very effective. So when Steve leaves the hospital tomorrow...

But between tomorrow and today, little will change in his wound. The wound was in the abdomen, a place where many muscles worked, and if Paxton started moving too much, the wound could open for him. Did that mean nothing would come out of sex?

Martin felt disappointed. For him, sex with Steve was not only an unearthly physical sensation, but also an intimacy. It used to be different, once there was only the pleasure of the body and the heart felt lonely and empty, but now that Paxton has finally opened up to him, everything was wonderfully different. He knew for Steve too. Together, they opened a new Chapter in their lives, a Chapter where Steve no longer had to live in solitude and emotional emptiness, and Martin could enjoy life’s pleasures that he had never known before.

His body missed Paxton no less than his heart. Steve has made it clear many times that he feels the same way about him. Paxton had excellent medical care at the hospital, but Martin would take care of his wounded heart. He will do as he did before when he had to break through the wall surrounding Paxton. But now he would do it faster and better, because he was no longer an inexperienced and insecure rookie. Now he knew what to do to drive Steve away from all worries and sorrows.

But Paxton’s wound and other injuries were still a problem. Even those two unfortunate cracked ribs! Steve should avoid strenuous exercise for the next few days, and sex was one of those. Once out of the hospital, no one will stop Paxton from having his needs met. Martin will have to somehow minimize Steve’s mobility to minimize the risk of a wound opening or other complications. But how is he supposed to do that? After all, he cannot bind Paxton ...

Why not then?

Martin blushed up to the top of his ears, remembering how Steve had tied him to the bed with his trouser belt. He remembered his dark-haired head buried between Martin’s legs, his hungry mouth swallowing his cock, and his eyes blazing with a dark, passionate glow. The mechanic’s body, at the mere memory of those moments, passed through shivers of tension and delight. What if he turned the situation around and made Steve, immobilized, passive, stare at Martin’s head emerging between the driver’s hips, at his mouth taking possession of this delicious, powerful manhood ...
