Glancing around the room, I see each of her mates looking just as worried as the last. We’ve all tried comforting her and distracting her, but it hasn’t helped.

“We need to distract her,” I declare, smirking as an ideacomes to me.

Donovan rolls his eyes. “We’ve all tried that already, genius.”

“I’m well aware. I’m not stupid, you know.” I bite the snarl threatening to leave me, reminding myself that he’s just as frustrated as I am about not being able to help Audrey. “But what we haven’t done is try to distract her with sex.”

“Speak for yourself,” Cassian says with a sigh.

I wave him off. “Okay. I’m sure we all tried to have sex with her, but that’s not what I’m thinking. I know one thing that Audrey can never resist.”

Wraith considers me for a moment. “And what’s that, Brenden?”

“When we fuck each other.”

Silence follows my words, but I can see them thinking over my words. Before Nex, this suggestion would’ve left me out of the fucking, but now, I don’t have to worry about that.

“You want us to go up there and fuck each other to distract her?” Nex asks, fighting a smile.

I nod. “Yes. She’ll be so turned on, she’ll want to join us.”

Donovan scoffs. “This sounds like a terrible idea.”

“Now, pet, don’t dismiss Brenden’s suggestion like that.” Wraith pauses before continuing, “I think he might be right. Even if she doesn’t end up wanting to join us, it’ll still distract her.”

“I’m down,” Cassian says with a grin.

It takes a few more minutes for everyone to agree, but then we’re tromping up the stairs to our shared bedroom.

As soon as the door opens, Audrey sticks her head out from under the covers. “Go away. I told you all to leave me alone to my misery.”

“No can do, firecracker. We have plans, and since you’re in our bed, you’re just going to have to deal with it.”

Audrey glares at me as I pull off my shirt, then drop my pants. Her eyes trail down my naked form, confusion replacing her annoyance.

“What are you doing?” Her eyes bounce around the room, watching as each of her mates disrobe.

“We’re fucking.” I shoot her a look that says, “Duh,” as Nex comes up behind me. His cock presses against my ass, his hand wrapping around my length and stroking me.

“I’m not in the mood,” she says, but she doesn’t sound convinced.

I shrug. “That’s fine. The five of us are going to fuck. You’re welcome to keep having yourpity party under the blankets. This is just the only bed big enough for all of us.”

Audrey blinks at me, her attention moving to Wraith as he joins her on the bed. Cassian grabs the bottle of lube from the bedside table before dragging Donovan onto the bed in front of Wraith.

“You’re all going to fuck each other?” She still looks so confused. “But you’re not all together.”

Nex chuckles, walking us toward the bed without stopping his strokes along my cock. “I’m going to fuck Brenden, and the three of them are going to do whatever together.”

“And you want to do that here? With each other?”

I bite back a smile as I nod. “Firecracker, I don’t have to be attracted to them to find them fucking each other hot. All of your mates are gorgeous. It’s never a chore to watch them fuck.”

Nex helps me onto the bed before climbing up himself. My cock is pointed straight at Audrey as Nex turns my head to kiss me. I groan into his mouth, so ready to be fucked.

Yes, this is about pulling Audrey out of her funk, but it’s also about allowing my other mateto fuck me—and I’m never going to turn that down.

Nex and I have been working on our relationship beyond Audrey, which has been good for us. I feel like an ass for telling him Audrey was more important than he was. That I’d always choose her over him, it was neither true nor fair.
