Gray
I prayed to the divine goddess that they werenât what Damon had eluded to. Yet, his easy avoidance of my words left me feeling concerned. If they were, could I even push them away? Why wouldnât they have told me? Or was I just avoiding the truth? Damn it. I knew exactly who they were and they knew who I was.
We were just playing a fucking game now.
As Rhodes led me across the estate to Adyen, fear trickled through me. Rhodes had brought me to tears and opened my soul for his appraisal. I felt weakened and clingy, as if they could provide me with the joy and calm I sought. I had escaped to the East Coast for two weeks, to clear my head and bring forward the numbness.
Instead, I was left missing them.
Adyenâs arms instantly wrapped around me without warning and I found myself curling into his broad chest. I let my arms wrap around his neck as the searing warmth of his body melted into mine. He didnât say anything and simply pressed his face into my neck and hair gently. I could tell he was scenting me. Fuck it. I didnât even mind. I felt my soul warming up from the inside out. Adyen did that to me.
âPlease donât ever do that again,â he murmured in a rough voice against my ear.
It was the type of voice that sounded more animal than not and made me shiver. I pressed into him further by tightening my arms.
I heard his voice before I saw him.
Athens spoke loudly, âRhodes, whatâs this all--â
âFuck,â Neo swore softly.
Neo never swore. Unlike Rhodes and I. Now that was a man who cursed a lot. Adyen placed me down gently as I turned nervously to face the twins. Something had shifted while I was gone and I found myself less concerned about why I cared about their opinion.
âWell, shit. I want a hug, baby,â Athens recovered his heart breaking expression first.
He brought me into a tight hug and kissed my cheek. It lacked his usual enthusiasm but held a lot of heat. I should have considered how much this would have hurt him. Athens was an open book with his emotions. By leaving, I had stomped right on that damn book. I was a selfish bitch.
I felt like I was losing my fucking mind. When had I started caring so much?
Neo approached next and tugged me into another encompassing hug. I exhaled with relief when surrounded by the two of them. A part of my heart clicked into place and it made me consider Damonâs warning that Bobby had passed along. I heard a click of a lighter and my eyes snapped to Taylor over Neoâs shoulder.
I almost flinched back from the demon. His face was blazing and filled with an array of emotions that I didnât understand. Except the pain. I knew that one well. I saw it in the mirror every single day. He stalked forward and the twins left me practically trembling in my heels.
