“Fuck off. That was supposed to stay between us.”

“It’s not my fault you’re a little bitch.”

“And it’s not my fault you’re a jackass.”

Their bickering actually makes my shoulders relax, and I realize that’s what they wanted. Axel squeezes my knee. “I think this calls for a celebratory beer.”

This was fun, but I honestly can’t wait to get home.

Chapter13

Sean

Kai and I went back home the next day after we missed the mission with Axel. The blow up from that is one of the biggest ones we’ve had. That was three days ago, and we’ve been with Chelsea ever since. We told her we were having problems with a roommate and that we were going to get a hotel room, but she insisted that we stay. Not that we were going to argue. Tonight is the night of the meeting with Daybreak, and the only thing we’ve heard from Axel is that we’re expected to be there with no excuses. It’s only a little after noon, so we have plenty of time to get back there.

This has at least given us time to get closer to Chelsea, especially Kai. So far, nothing has happened between them, but he seems to be beating his mental block one brick at a time when it comes to her. I’ve given them time alone to get to know each other, and it seems to be working on Kai. I’m not sure about Chelsea. We still haven’t gotten to the bottom of who the fuck left those scars on her because she stays closed-lipped about it. But when I find out who hurt her? He’s going to wish he never met me.

Even though I wanted to ease Chelsea and Kai into this, it’s time to up the ante. Sean style.

“It is time, grasshopper,” I announce to Chelsea in the kitchen. Kai left a few minutes ago to go get lunch for all of us.

She turns around with a laugh. “What?”

I walk over to her and slide my arms around her waist, then back her up until her ass hits the kitchen counter. “You and Kai.”

She frowns. “What about us?”

“I see the way you guys look at each other. I’ve already planted the seed; you just have to let it grow.”

She laughs again. “Really, Sean?”

“Okay. That was corny. But you know what I’m saying. You guys need to take the next step.”

“What’s that?” she whispers, blush spreading across her cheeks.

I shrug. “Whatever you’re ready for. I’ve watched you two dance around it for three days.” I pick her up by the waist and sit her on the counter. Stepping between her thighs, I take her face in my hands. “I’m all in this, Gorgeous. If you want him too, I’m fine with it. If you don’t want him, tell me, and I’ll drop it.”

I watch all the emotions run across her face. I finally see the one that I’ve been waiting for. Acceptance. “I do want him. But I don’t understand how that will work.”

“Easy. One of my best friends is in a poly relationship with five other guys. It works, Gorgeous. Trust me.”

“It’s not easy. I know relationships like that exist. But it’s still hard enough for me to do stuff with you,” she swallows, “I’m scared of what he’ll think.” No matter how many times I’ve seen her naked over the past couple of days, she still tries to hide from me. She has nothing at all to be ashamed of.

“About what, Gorgeous? Your body? Because I have to tell you, he’ll love it as much as me. Your asshole ex didn’t like it because he wasn’t man enough to handle it.” She looks at me in surprise. She’s never told me why, but it’s all the classics from an insecure man beating her down. I’m not that man. “Everything about you is perfect. All I want to do is lay you out and worship every bit of skin I can find. I don’t care about anything else besides making you feel good. You’re gorgeous to me. Inside and out. Kai sees that too.”

She lets out a watery giggle. “He is big enough to throw me around.”

“That’s the spirit, Gorgeous.” I peck her lips. “So, is this something you want, or do you want me to leave it alone? The choice is always yours.”

“I want it,” she whispers. “But I want to go slow.”

“We’ll never rush you.” I wrap her arms and legs around me and pick her up, carrying her to the living room.

“What are you doing?”

“I’ve missed you.” I lay her on the couch and cover her body with mine, settling between her thighs. I start kissing her neck, and she arches into my touch.

“We were together this morning.”
