Husky male voices and hands rough on his hips rolled down his underwear and, forced him to his knees. Voracious fingers poked and prodded, spread the cheeks of his arse, then all of a sudden there was the agony of someone sliding into him roughly.“Jesus, Nick, for God’s sake, man, wake up.

He reached out an arm, grabbing Owen’s shoulder tightly. Owen winced and brushed hair from Nick’s sweat-drenched face. Nick stared at him blindly. Socks jumped up and down in agitation on the bed, his paws waving frantically as he chittered in panic.“Nick, you were screaming. You had a nightmare. It’s all right.” Owen’s soothing voice cut through Nick’s fear and he started to breathe deeper, more evenly.Owen encouraged him. “That’s right, take deep breaths. You’re awake. You’re fine.”Nick’s tears rolled down his cheeks as he sobbed quietly.
