But that wouldn't happen so long as Angel shared a room with him. William tried to stifle a soft moan, but nothing could halt it. It slipped from the young man's lips and into the air. It was a muffled kind of sound, but not at all hard to miss. And he knew Angel was there, had heard his roomate walk right into their room.
