JAYCE BECKETT

Two hours and thirty minutes later, we were still sitting there, patiently waiting to be called in.

Curtis was already out of recovery and back in a room, different from the one he had been in before the surgery. The doctors were still attending to him, and I was running out of patience.

The only thing keeping me sane right now was Renato, who was still with me. I was grateful that he was here with me; he had even cancelled plans with his boys to stay with me.

"Hey," someone called, and I was already on my feet, staring at the familiar face of the nurse from earlier.

A warm smile spread across her face, giving me hope. "He's in room 2. Which one of you is going to go in first?"

The moment I would see Curtis was finally here, but I was nervous about going in alone. It didn't make sense, considering how badly I had been waiting to be called in to see him.

"I... um," I stuttered, craning my neck to look at Renato, who was already standing beside me.

  • Break Me Apart (MxM)   097. I've always loved you

    JAYCE BECKETT Was his world spinning out of control while mine had come to a standstill in this hospital room?And why wasn't he making any plans to go attend to whatever was going on?"Yes? What's the problem?" Renato growled into the phone, his tone as hard as steel, his words laced with an unmistakable edge of anger. "What about the boys?" Renato gritted out, his jaw clenched in frustration. He let out a deep, exasperated groan, his head nodding in a mixture of frustration and resignation. "Okay, I'm going there now." His voice was a low, menacing rumble."Hey?" I called out, my voice barely above a whisper, as I tightened my grip on the fork in my hand. "Yes?" he sighed, his expression still taut with tension, trying to soften his features but failing miserably. "You're leaving?" I asked, my voice laced with a mixture of concern and understanding. I didn't want to trap him here with me, not when he had responsibilities to attend to."Just wanted to check something real quick

  • Break Me Apart (MxM)   095. Will he really be okay?

    JAYCE BECKETT I paced the length of the surgical waiting area in a maddening loop, my nerves frayed to the breaking point as I leapt at every jarring sound – the shrill trill of a phone, the raised voice bursting from the opening elevator or stairwell door like a crack of thunder. Renato sat like a statue, his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes fixed intently on me, every movement I made tracked with an unnerving intensity. The heat of his glare was like a branding iron, searing my face with an unspoken accusation, the flame intensifying with every passing moment. I couldn't fathom why he was still here, lingering like a specter, when it was patently clear I wanted him gone. He was one infuriatingly stubborn asshole, and honestly, I didn't have the emotional bandwidth to deal with his crap right now. I was already at my wit's end, exhausted by the relentless barrage of both his and Cole's bullshit today.The O.R. doors remained stubbornly shut, frozen in place like a barrier,

  • Break Me Apart (MxM)   094. Legally and unlawfully, you're mine.

    RENATO MARINO Maybe I should have just let Jayce stay behind with the little boy last night. My conscience screamed at me, accusing me of being selfish, of trying to monopolize his attention while he had a little boy to care for. My greed had gotten the better of me, and now I was paying the price. The doctor's urgent message had sent me racing to the hospital, fueled by a mix of panic and guilt. They'd been trying to reach Jayce, but his phone had been powered off all night, leaving me as the only available option because I had gave out a strict order for the hospital to remove that bastard and his damn fathers as the little boy's guardians.The weight of responsibility crushed me, knowing it was all my fault. I hadn't wanted Jayce to know I'd already discovered his secret – the little nephew I'd been keeping tabs on through the hospital director. I was waiting for him to open up to me, but now all bets were off. The boy's life hung in the balance, and nothing else mattered.As

  • Break Me Apart (MxM)   093. How is this possible?

    JAYCE BECKETT "What the hell is going on here?" I let out a deep breath, staring at Cole's car, which was poorly parked in my front yard. The driver's door was open, and his car key lay carelessly on the floor. I eased onto the driveway but went no further than the entrance, cutting the engine and gawking at my front door, then back at Cole's car, wondering if I should make a plan before going in. Something definitely wasn't right here. The car door creaked as I shouldered it shut. Pulling out my phone, I walked towards the door. I had a missed call from the hospital, but I ignored it as I tried to call Paul, hoping letting him know about the situation before going in would be a good idea. Maybe he'd know what was wrong with his son before I met Cole. Cole could get a little aggressive when he was angry, and I really didn't want to deal with his rage right now. Unfortunately for me, Paul didn't answer his phone. With a deep sigh, I shoved my phone back into my pocket and

  • Break Me Apart (MxM)   092. What could be the problem?

    JAYCE BECKETT There was something inexplicably adorable about standing next to Renato in his bedroom, right in front of his sprawling, floor-to-ceiling mirror, as we both got dressed up in our best fits.The mirrored reflection of us moving in perfect sync, our hands slightly brushing against each other's as we adjusted our outfits, made us feel like a seasoned married couple who'd spent years mastering the art of domestic harmony. It was ridiculously endearing, and it almost made me laugh.Waking up to Renato snuggling into me like a possessive lover was surreal enough, and our bathing ritual earlier, where he gently massaged shampoo into my hair while I reciprocated by washing his broad shoulders, our fingers intertwining like we'd been doing this for years was another thing entirely. Now, dressing up together felt like the ultimate act of domestic bliss, pushing us to new heights of intimacy and absurdity.As we stood side by side, our reflections staring back at us like a perfe
