Chapter 160 Built-up Lust

• AIDEN CAME back from Aspen with a tanned face and a gratifying level of built-up lust. He and Cade spent the night together at Cade’s place, and neither of them got much sleep. Which was fine for Aiden but a bit rough for Cade, since he was working a twelve-hour shift at Chapman’s the next day. But he didn’t care. Aiden was back. Cade had never been lonely before, or at least he’d never realized it if he was. But missing Aiden had been like missing a part of himself, and now that he was whole again he didn’t need sleep. He barely needed oxygen.
• Things fell into a pattern after that. Cade stopped fighting against the relationship—stopped fighting against himself. He was still dedicated to his schoolwork, because doing well at school was the only thing that made him even a little bit worthy of Aiden’s attention. And he kept
• working at the cafeteria and filling in at Chapman’s when they had shifts for him, because he needed the money in order to pay the rent on the apartment where he and Aiden spent their best times. So not that much had really changed, but it felt like everything was different.
