But night had come and Eddie had eventually fallen asleep. Down for the count and unable to be neither distraction nor buffer until the next morning.
Josh set him in the crib, tucking him in and leaning in to kiss him. He could almost feel the brunet behind him vibrating with the need to begin. After he'd managed to allow Josh a peaceful - if chaperoned - day, it wouldn't be fair to deny him.
Given what had occurred, Josh wasn't sure he could even if he wanted to.
