Waking up to crying was easier than waking up to screaming.
Girl had powerful lungs. Could damn near knock a man’s hearing out.
Yeah, bawling was easier.
“Shh.” He murmured. “I’m right here, bao bei, right here.”
The sobs got gaspy.
“Jayne?”
“Yeah, don’t cry, beautiful. Jayne’s got you safe.”
Her hands started moving. Seemed like checking for injuries.
She’d be crying by now if it’d been the screaming dream.
River’s sobs were purrs by the time she touched the only throbbing part of him.
Yeah.
Jayne began to return her caresses.
Waking up to crying wasn’t bad at all.
