Their bodies pressed against each other, skin on skin, sweat gleaming in the low light of the guest bedroom. Their breath was heavy but slowly returning to normal. Marcus pulled the blanket farther up over him and the boy wrapped around him. It would have been cold but Chase was warm. The warmth would fade though and he knew if they fell asleep without the blanket they would wake to a freezing room.

His creator held little care if his android was cold. The house was supposed to be abandoned so the only electricity came from the generators in the lab below. Douglas claimed he didn't heat the house except for his own room) because if the generators overloaded they would have no way to spy on the davenports. Marcus unfortunately knew the real reason was he found pleasure in Marcus's lack of comfort.

A grin peaked on the android's face. If only the man knew. He might not like Marcus having comfort but if he realized how his son was keeping warm he'd be furious.
