Chapter 21

It takes all of my self-control, but I push Cross away.

“No,” I tell him, and the other men too. “We’re not doing this right now.”

Maybe you could do it later, the horny, traitorous part of my mind suggests. Later, in bed, where they can take turns showing you all the ways they know how to pleasure a woman, channeling all of their competitiveness into seeing who can make you scream the loudest, beg the most, come the hardest…

But not right now.

I shove those thoughts away before I have a mini-orgasm just thinking about it.

“There’s no use fighting over me when I might be kidnapped by the fae or turned into the government or worse at any moment, okay?” I say. “We need to tackle this first, and then we can deal with… you three and your ridiculous posturing.”

The guys all look like they’re still considering ways to kill each other and make it look like an accident.

“Besides,” I say, stepping between all of them, “if you three really care about me like you say and don’t just want another notch on your bedpost, then you’ll show it by helping me. Get over your pride for just two seconds and help me get out of this mess. At least the fae mess, okay? You can go back to all of this later when we can actually breathe, and I don’t feel like I’m going to die if I take one wrong step.”

Some of my actual fear must show through in my voice or my face, even though I’m doing everything I can to hide it. I don’t want to seem scared or weak.

That’s one thing that Roxie seems to have that I actually envy. I don’t care about her clothes or money, her good grades or competitiveness, or even her ability to get guys.

But I do wish I had her bravery. Roxie didn’t seem to give a damn what anyone thought of her. She did what and who she wanted, she took what she wanted, and she didn’t apologize for it. I bet if she was here, she’d be spitting in everyone’s faces.

But I can’t do that. I’m not like that.

I’m scared.

And I want to go home.

The men all relax their puffed up chests, their expressions softening as they look at me.

“I’m sorry,” Kasian says, and he reaches out to gently stroke my cheek with the back of his hand. “You’re right, we need to focus on keeping you safe.”

“I apologize, love, it was thoughtless,” Theo agrees, dipping his chin slightly, his gray eyes serious.

Cross looks like he wants to reach out for me but suddenly isn’t sure how. “You know me, cupcake, I just don’t know when it’s gone too far.” He gives me a self-deprecating half-smirk. “Your safety’s our priority. Always.”

I take a shaky breath. “Okay. Thank you. Let’s get cracking, and see what we can dig up.”

The men nod, and we set to work.

I can feel the three of them still eyeing each other up as we go through the stacks and pore through the books.
