Chapter Six

Marco sat across from Nicky in the room that had been freshly painted and repaired. Two weeks had passed since the fire. Two weeks of almost constant arguments and recriminations and tears. The sex between them was still amazing, and neither one of them could get enough of each other in bed. Each time it seemed as if they both knew it was mostly over between them, yet they clung to each other almost desperately, unwilling to break this last bond keeping them together.

The day before, Marco had finally asked Nicky to release him from their vows. Nicky had been shocked and disbelieving at first, telling Marco he hated him and would never forgive him for what he was doing. Marco had hoped he would settle down after a while, but he guessed it wasn’t meant to be. Nicky was still furious and refused to even look at him.

He’d asked Nicky to dissolve their union, not because he didn’t have feelings for Nicky, but because he was making Nicky more and more miserable with each day that passed, and if this kept up, he knew Nicky would wind up despising him. To tell the truth, he hadn’t really expected Nicky to agree. He thought he might just scare him a little and make him try harder to do as Marco said. When he’d said yes to the dissolution, Marco had felt betrayed, even though he’d asked Nicky for it.

Now Nicky fidgeted on the sofa in front of him, and Marco thought with despair that Nicky had never looked more beautiful, more desirable.

“So,” Nicky said quietly. “What happens now?”

“I already have your room set up and waiting for you, next door to Evan and Brett. I thought you might want to be close to some of your friends. We can have the dissolution ceremony tonight, if you want, to go ahead and get it over with. And that will be it. You’ll be free to live with us for as long as you want—you’re still a part of our pack, hon—uh-Nicky, and I’ll take care of you always.”

“Even after you find a new mate? Your mate might not like that so much.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Marco said, shaking his head. “I won’t abandon you.” Nicky looked up at him with pain and hatred in his blue eyes. Damn, why did this have to hurt so much? Not just Nicky, but Marco too. He felt as if a giant hand was clenching his guts.

“I did try, Marco. I really did.”

“I know, baby. I know you did. I know things were making you miserable. I think it would have made you despise me in the end if you had stayed with me, and I didn’t want that. I’d never want that. I do want you to be happy, though I guess that’s hard for you to believe right now.”

Nicky stood up, keeping his gaze averted, not looking directly at Marco. He walked toward the door. “This thing tonight—it’s private, isn’t it? I don’t want a crowd of people.
