CHAPTER 12

☆FRIEND ZONING ISN'T REAL☆

☆ JESSY

I can’t believe I stood up for myself to the duke. I haven’t let go of Gra’eth’s hand since the crash site. Not even while he swam with me in his arms, breathing air into my lungs. As the elevator ascends rapidly to our penthouse-style room, I clutch it all the tighter.

Maybe I do want more with him…There’s something about this gray guy that just grounds me. He makes me feel safe enough to speak my mind again—to stick up for myself and the other humans here on Sontafrul 6. Sex isn’t even as scary anymore because I know when I ask him to stop, he will. He lets me be in control, and it’s exactly what I need.

I don’t think I’ve ever come as hard as I did last night. I had convinced myself on Earth that maybe oral sex couldn’t get me off, that no man was patient enough to build my orgasm that way.

Gra’eth proved me very wrong, and I squeeze my thighs together subconsciously at the thought of him.

“You seem far off, Red,” he says as the elevator panels peel away and become one with the room’s floor.

“I’m just thinking,” I tell him, blinking quickly to clear my head.

“About?”

“About…us, the women, and if my outburst is going to cost us more in the long run than it’s worth.” I dip my chin, only to have his thumb tilt my face to his.

“Raf’ere’s never met someone willing to put him in his place, and it’s long past due. He can go through me if he has any issues with our diplomacy. I will be your protector only when you need me to.”

Protector. I don’t think I’ve ever honestly had one before. I can’t help but latch onto the thought of Gra’eth being that for me. As much as I want to forge my own path after my rescue…maybe we’re better together? Not in some toxic, codependent way where I need him for everything—but in a way where I want to be with him. Where I can feel his strength even when he’s not there. Something quiet has been growing between us. We’ve blossomed together in ways I don’t think we could have apart.

I feel it, somewhere deep in my chest. Looking at his gray hand in mine, thinking about how he didn’t get mad when my anxiety consumed me last night.

Oh god, I love Gra’eth.

I feel the words bubbling up in my throat, and in an attempt to hold them back, they come out rushed, sounding more like one word than three.

“Iloveyou,” I say, clinging to his side. I’ve tried to fight this feeling. Tried to pace myself with him, but I know it’s true. Gra’eth freezes but soon clings to me as aggressively as I do him. To cut the silence when he doesn’t respond, I ask, “You love me too, right?”

It feels like a needy request, but I have to be sure. I shut my eyelids tightly, fearful of his response.
