Cougar's dreams go from busy and frantic to calm and nothing when there's a steadying pressure against his body and a hum of noise in his ear. It reminds him of sharing the room with the other men, because he'd never had the night terrors when he has people around him. He also never has them when he's being secured like this, but it's not a habit that's fair to ask of Jake.

When he wakes, it's still dark, but there's no screaming. Disoriented, he peers around blearily until he can make out the room and what he's lying on top of. Who he's on top of.
