would have called sooner, but I lost my
phone.” Jamie tried to sound strong and casual, while Lauren
rambled and didn't let Jamie speak up. In reality, he was close to
tears and felt far from strong. Sebastian saw him struggling and
took the phone out of his hands, without thinking about it
twice.
    “Hi, this is Sebastian Martin... No, I am not
a John... No, not the pimp either... Listen, could you bring the
girl to my house. Jamie is here and he needs someone to take care
of him for a little while, because of that accident.” Jamie
listened wide-eyed while Sebastian told Lauren where she was
supposed to bring Agnes and thanked her politely then he
disconnected the phone and threw it on the coffee table.
    “It will take her about forty minutes to
bring your daughter here. Let's make you somewhat presentable for
her. How about we get you out of those filthy clothes. Don't worry,
Kai will patch you up. He's a real pro at what he does.” Sebastian
talked nervously. This whole situation overwhelmed him and while
talking out loud, he didn't need to think about the situation.
Jamie was out of words and simply did what he was told to do. He
was too tired to argue, too tired to fight and too grateful that,
after the rejections he had earlier, someone was willing to help
him and take care of him.
    Sebastian unbuttoned Jamie's shirt slowly,
revealing a well-toned torso, but still taking in every one of
Jamie's reactions to his movements. He didn't want to hurry things,
he didn't want to scare him and add to the trauma either. Jamie
felt too tired and was hurting too much to feel any more
embarrassment and he let this man undress him. Maybe he would have
been capable of doing it himself, but it didn't matter right now.
It was not sensual or erotic in any kind of way, it was simply one
man helping another man in distress out of his clothes. But his
hands feel good on me!
    Sebastian was shocked when he saw the dried
blood that covered Jamie's bare thighs and legs, but he did his
best to hide his own emotions. So much blood, so many
bruises. He didn't want to make Jamie feel worse about himself
and pushed his thoughts away, schooling his features before he
looked Jamie in the face again.
    Kai came back into the room right at that
moment and stopped in his tracks. Jamie stood naked in front of his
twin, seemingly unembarrassed, but his eyes were empty and he
looked intently at the painting hanging on the wall behind
Sebastian. Jamie's ring finger of his right hand twitched
rhythmically, and Kai asked himself how this man could conceal his
feelings and emotions so well. Kai knew people and he knew what to
look for in victims of domestic violence and rapes, but this
seemingly unemotional cover was new, even to him.
    Kai too had seen what had made Sebastian
gasp. Bruises and dried blood. Kai shook his head and moved closer
to Jamie, laying out a large towel on the sofa and asking him to
sit down.
    “Did you bring clean clothes for Jamie?”
Sebastian asked, revealing Jamie's name to his brother, while
looking at the pile of things he had put on the coffee table. Kai
cursed, because he had indeed forgotten about them.
    “I'll be right back,” Sebastian said
absentmindedly, while he hurried out of the room and let out a
shaky breath. Kai noticed him limping again and he also saw that it
was way worse than it had been in some time, but he bit his cheek
to keep his thoughts inside. He would berate his brother later, now
he had a patient who needed tending.
    Sebastian needed a moment to breathe. He had
never helped someone like this man – Jamie – and he had never seen
injuries like this either. Although he had not really seen
anything, apart from a black eye, split lip and bump on the
forehead, but the blood that had dried on the man's thighs and the
clothes that were full of blood too, it made him shudder. He has
been raped by a client. How low must a man sink, before he has
to do this for a living? He has a daughter. Maybe a
