Chapter Twenty-Five

Vera

Sin Pagar Renta – Xavi

The ground hugs me as I settle in its embrace. Each jade tendril of grass makes sure to welcome me, telling me it knows I’m unhappy. It’s the embodiment of life, vitality, and all it offers. Only asking for its necessary needs and offering me so much more in return.

Vines twine around me once more, nuzzling me, offering me the type of ease I want from others. It’s a protection from everything else, almost like a barrier between me and the outside world. It’s never felt too overwhelming or constricting, but instead a comfort I seek often.

Her name is Dulce.

The ground reminds me of the earlier communication. I know this now. Vex only confirmed it with their presence. I close my eyes, wanting more info, needing to know what has drawn my best friend to her, and this Saephyn too.

She’s seeking her mate. Vex.

Communicating with Solera, I imagine them. Purple, fierce, bags under their eyes from worries. They’re beautiful. Vex is more than I bargained for when sending Raevar off.

Images of Dulce’s body infiltrate my mind, Solera giving me what they’ve learned. The trees note her kindness, how sadness consumed her when she thought they hurt. The blades of grass offer me visuals of her thick thighs, the curves and dips of her hips and stomach. The soft belly she hides beneath Raevar’s clothing, and my mouth waters.

This is new.

Wanting something aside from work, a desire other than fixing boredom.

She’s perfect for our queen.

My body hums as her scent and taste penetrates me next. She tastes of wildflowers and raindrops. Honey and sweetness calm me as the nectar between her thighs that Raevar has tasted fills me. A vibration rushes through me like an electric shock but kinder, a tease instead of a full strike.

I want her.

She’s not mine and somehow, that’s just semantics. There’s something there that calls to me, the way Solera wants her for me too.

She’s ours.

A voice calls out for me, making the buzz slowly seep from my body. I’ve been slacking on preparations out of sadness, missing my friend who has been fucking Vex’s mate.

That should bother me, but for some reason it doesn’t. It feels right and whether that’s due to Raevar being my best friend or Dulce being enough for us all is unclear. I’ve never explored a relationship, let alone one with many. Something tells me that Dulce is meant to be ours.

It’s taken me until Vex showed up to realize how much I miss Raevar. He’s avoiding me, and my biggest worry isn’t just his well-being. It’s also that he might abandon me. We’ve been tied together since he saved my life as a child. We’re inseparable, and losing my best friend seems like misery waiting to happen.
