Story: Dancing With Death

Pulling away from Wren, I walk over to where Cassian and Wraith are staring at one another, a plan forming in my head. “I might have an idea of how you can both get through this conversation without losing your shit on each other.”

Wraith turns his head, meeting my eyes. “Are you going to share with the class?”

“What we need is for both of you to be distracted—not too distracted that you can’t speak or listen to one another—as a way to keep from fighting,” I tell them slowly.

Cassian’s eyes narrow. “And you have an idea for that?”

Now, I grin. “I sure do. I think we need to fuck while you explain.”

“Seriously, Audrey?” Wren groans behind me, and I laugh. “I didn’t need to hear that.”

“Group sex?” Brenden perks up as he grins at me.

“Pretty much.” My eyes find Wraith and Cassian once more. “It’s something we can stop if we need to, but it’ll definitely distract you from getting too angry. Or if you do get angry, you can take it out on me. Or Donovan. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind either.”

Cassian runs a hand over his head, shaking it. “This is insane. You realize that, don’t you?”

I nod. “One hundred percent, but can you think of anything else that would distract either of you enough for this to work? Because I can’t.”

“I’m assuming you’re not talking about me and Cassian fucking, because that could very easily turn into a fistfight.” Wraith keeps his eyes locked on me, but I can already see his cock pressing against his pants.

“No. That’s what me and Donovan are for.” I glance at Brenden, who’s shaking his head. “Brenden will just have to play with me or something because he’s not interested in either of you.”

Cassian snorts. “I feel like I should be offended.”

“Don’t be. You should be glad you’re not one of his obsessions,” Wraith says dryly.

“Stop it, Wraith.” I glance around the room. “So, are we doing this?”

“You know what? I’m taking this as my cue to leave.” Wren snickers, already heading for the door. “Have fun…l guess?”

I giggle. “Love you, Wren!”

“I love you, too, you little shit.” With that, she hurries from the room.

“So?” I ask again.

Wraith nods as he climbs to his feet, glancing at Cassian. “Yeah, let’s do this.”

My eyes find Cassian, and he gives me a sharp nod.

Hell yes. Looks like group sex is on the agenda tonight.

Yes, there’s also the bit about getting Wraith to hear Cassian out, but it all just sounds like a win-win situation to me.

Chapter Twenty-three

Donovan

Isprintupthestairsto the bedroom with Audrey in my arms, the others right on my heels.

What can I say? I’m always ready to get my mate naked. Adding the fact that Cassian is going to be there with all four of us?

It’s definitely giving me some ideas.

When everything with Cassian blew up, I took Wraith’s side. It was never a question to any of us. Unlike my lover, I needed to know what the hell happened, so I confronted him. I don’t agree with the actions he took, but over the years, I’ve slowly forgiven him.

I didn’t like him not being in my life. Being his friend is better than nothing, which is why I’ve settled for just that.
