Warning: This chapters contains MM erotic scenesChaseWalking through, I see Jax has left with Dhalia. It's a good thing. She knows; she walked out of that room and saw me with Blake. Pouring a coffee, I sit at the table and go through emails. The sound of Blake walking through the room raises my head.He doesn't even acknowledge me. He walks straight past me and into the kitchen. I watch as he makes himself a drink while staring at his phone."I'm sorry," my words are quiet and he laughs."You're not. When are you ever sorry?" Turning, he looks at me, and I know I hurt him again today with how I reacted. I've accepted I'm the problem within our dynamic, they have no issue with letting the world know they fuck each other, but I do."I'm sorry now," I reply, and he snickers. "Blake, I'm trying.""How?" He storms over and throws the laptop off the table. "How are you even trying? Tell me, Chase, as you're not. You are hiding everything; it's rare that you even accept that this is real.
DhaliaI leave with Jax to grab some things that I need. As we shop, I can't help but feel uneasy. Maybe we're not in my city, but that doesn't mean someone won't see me. I also hate that a reporter is trying to follow us.Jax had a few guys block them, but there's a risk they will get a picture with me in it. Then what? At first, I didn't care, but now, I would rather Carl and my father not find out I'm alive.I got clothes easily enough. Underwear is proving more difficult; Jax smirks whenever I pick up a set. I look at the strappy lingerie, and picking it up, I debate over it.My eyes rise, and Jax is staring at me."You three are fucking weird," I say out loud, and he laughs."We're not weird."Okay, he's right. Maybe not weird. "Fine, complicated."He nods. "Chase is complicated and complicates things. It would be easier if we could be honest with who we are." He shrugs."I meant the fact you all fuck each other and then invite women in to join you as well to acquire a different
BlakeWe forgot about her; I admit I did. Even though she was in my view, I forgot about her. We all looked at each other and considered what we should say and how to answer her question.The whole event is fucked up but amazing. Jax loves it; then again, he's got a thing for torture and blood."Also, what did he take?" She looks at us, and I sigh. This is where she fucking laughs."Kittens," I smile at her.She laughs and almost falls to the floor. "Wait, you're serious?" She looks at us in disbelief, and yes, we're serious."Yes, he took Kittens." I shrug, and she stares at us."Fuck sake, the kittens had a collar on. Each collar had diamonds on. Between them all, they are worth nearly a million." Chase groans. "The kittens aren't the issue, the diamonds are.""So you use kittens to smuggle diamonds?" She stares in shock."We close down illegal or messed-up kitten and puppy farms. Diamonds are placed on the collars; the animals are moved into this city for a check-up. The animal she
JaxShe's amazing. She had fun taunting Chase about stealing Blake. I don't think I have ever seen Chase worry about losing one of us as much as he did at that moment.My phone buzzes, and I take it out. Glancing at the text, I reply quickly and place it away. All they have done is complain about the film. Apparently, there is no storyline, just murder, blood, and guts, which is me.Dhalia doesn't seem phased by it, though. These sorts of films phase most people, but not her.At some point, she changed into something more comfortable. By the end, she had fallen asleep against me; that's how unaffected she was by it."So what do you think?" Blake slouches back more into Chase. I know he means Dhalia, but I'm still not sure."We need to keep her here to keep her safe. I'm pretty sure she will run screaming and find her ex, and the risk of death is less scary than me." I point out the facts.I lose myself, and I accept that I do. I'm lucky to have Blake, someone who isn't scared or freak
DhaliaWhen I wake, I'm in a bed I know isn't the one I slept in. I can't remember anything for a moment, and then it floods back. Everything hits me. I had one of the worst attacks last night, and Jax took care of me.Jax!After everything, the last thing I needed was for them to see me in that mess. I move and pull away from his body."That's not fair." His words are quiet, and my eyes rise to see his face—smirking away at me."Sorry about last night. I drank too much." Sitting up, I pulled the blanket around my body. "Wait, you carried me?" I didn't realise last night. Now I do. He picked me up and carried me."Right? Why do you look shocked by the fact I carried you?" He sits waiting, and I shrug."Nothing," I lie and see my nighty on the bottom of the bed. Grabbing it, I pull it over my body. I'm not small, and any guy I had been with complained over my size, and Jax is the first one to lift me in any damn way.He leans over the bed and comes closer to me. "You were having an epi
DhaliaI wait for someone to talk, but now it's awkward silence."Jax is lying, by the way," Chase mutters, and they laugh. "He isn't one to submit; he rarely does. He has to be in control."My eyes rise, and I look at Chase."He does better than you at giving up control," Blake replies, and they laugh."Your friend should be here within the hour." Jax smiles at me, and I am so glad. I need someone, a bit of normal right now."What?" Chase turns and glares at him. "Here?"I watch as Blake sighs and seems to retreat into himself."We can't expect her to stay here and have no contact with her old life. Dhalia said she is trusted, and I trust she wouldn't lie. She won't mention where Dhalia is." Jax defends his choice, but I don't think Chase is worried about her speaking of me."You just invited another person in here." Chase stands and storms out."Would it ease his worries if he knew Keeley was as lesbian?" I understand he's worried about how others will see him, but I feel bad for Bl
ChaseI wasn't sure what was said. When I reached the door and was about to knock and make her aware that food was ready, I heard her words: talking about losing weight.That threw me. She comes across as so confident. The dress she wore that night we took her was daring and revealing, and she wore it with pride and confidence.Yet, how she said those words was like all that confidence was gone.Keeley sits with her head down like a scolded kitten after her slip-up. Dhalia is staring at her plate and close to having a panic attack, worried we'll ask.We can't. Sure, I want to know the facts, but pushing her into talking won't help her if she isn't ready to accept what happened and unload the feelings as well.I can see Jax is itching to ask her what happened, and Blake is itching to comfort her, which will make this whole thing worse. So, as much as I want to know, I push my feelings aside."So you two knew each other as kids then?" I look at Keeley, and she smiles at me, clearly reli
DhaliaI've enjoyed tonight; Keeley is drunk, maybe too drunk, but the guys are happy about it. I've spent most of my time dancing with Keeley.We should leave soon; she's too far gone right now. Walking to the bar, I ask for a glass of water and hand it to her."Are you saying I'm drunk?" She laughs, almost falling off the chair. I see someone catch her and steady her."Thanks," I smile at the guy, and he nods."Well, it wouldn't look good of me to let your friend fall to the floor before asking if I can buy you a drink, would it?" He smiles and steps around Keeley on the stool until he's between us."I'm good, thank you." Smiling, I raise my glass. It's nearly empty, but I don't want him to buy me a drink."Is that your last one?" He leans closer and my head shakes."Not likely, but I don't need you to pay for my drinks, thank you." I smile and try to look around him to see Keeley.He leans in, his body getting closer to mine. "Then how about a dance?" His head dips slightly, and I
