He blinked blearily in the dimness of the room, as if he wasn’t quite sure where he was, then seemed to remember all at once as baby blues widened. An inarticulate sound followed, then a quick shift away from the bottom that was prodding at him as he reached for his shorts and boxers to drag them mostly up over his hips.
Probably not the first time Harvard had seen him in some state of undress, the certainly the first time as a result of something so obviously salacious. He’d been caught, literally, with his pants down, and he was pretty sure the older man could piece together what had happened, though maybe Liam could lie his way around with who.
“Harvard.” It was higher than he would have liked, cheeks darkening with color as he sat up, or rather tried to, before wincing and freezing. His back was a mess again.

Not just the sex, but the overall beating he’d taken before he’d passed out. Everything hurt.
