“Fuck, I just creamed myself,” Hudson chuffed as he walked in.

Okay then, so Darby wasn’t the only one Julian had fucked with.

“I want to suck you, my dragon,” I begged.

He looked at Julian. “What did you do to her?”

“Come, our mate,” Julian ordered.

I screamed my head off as the magic hit me and I came so hard I couldn’t see for a full minute.

“Use a fucking healing rune or five because I need to fuck you too,” Hudson said with a deep growl. “This is exactly what I needed today. Fuck all the fuck I did.”

And then he fucked me bent over my desk.

And then Julian did against the wall.

Plus, I sucked Darby and Hudson for a bit while someone else fucked me even if they didn’t finish in my mouth.

There was more, but it was all a blur of healing runes and too much pleasure until even the healing runes weren’t enough and I passed out.

What a way to collapse. Seriously. I couldn’t even imagine the mess we made. I wasn’t cleaning it up after all of that.

There was a ton of food waiting for me when I woke up and I actually discussed the situation with Neldor with them. They clearly didn’t want to get involved or overstep, but Hudson did agree that he saw the situation as Izzy did.

Darby made it clear he wouldn’t comment either way because he didn’t feel comfortable reading the situation but would support me no matter what I felt. Julian leaned more towards that, but mostly he had trouble having much faith in fairies after how different they were from what he knew and had been told.

Basically, he was too resentful of how they had treated me so far to give them much credit. Even if they had handled our mating well and were trying to support me now. He’d seen how fast they could turn on me and change their minds.

Fair enough. It all helped. A lot.

Darby had to get back for a study group thing and Hudson had a meeting as well. Julian chuckled how that left us alone to have fun, but I realized I wanted to handle one of the fantasies he’d thought about because I could.

And it was time to settle another demon from my past.

There were a bunch of criminals we’d arrested as fairies that I never wanted in Faerie, and people were starting to support that more. At least the people of Faerie, so we built a prison like in Faerie on one of the pieces of land I’d bought as a sanctuary.

We already had Guardians stationed there so… Why not?

But that was where we were going. Julian was shocked when I told him, even trying to argue with me, obviously knowing that I’d heard something from him.

I simply gave him a kiss and explained that I felt better after freeing myself from the power my fear of Mason held over me. I wanted to do the same… And if Julian got to give Professor Kramer a proverbial kick in the nuts, all the better.

One former professor to another.

But only one of them was in prison.

“Oh, go fuck yourself, mate,” Kramer mocked when Julian walked into the holding room. “I knew you’d be a petty asshole and come rub shit in my face. Just because the gods gave her to you—you are just as obsessive of an asshole as I am. We are no fucking different.”

Watching through the two-way mirror, I realized that this wasn’t simply a jealousy thing, but Julian needed to put this in his past as well. And wanted me to hear the answers.

The shot Kramer took landed and it landed hard.

“No, no, I’m not,” he argued, shaking his head. “I gave her multiple opportunities to break it off or change her mind when we didn’t know we were mates. I let her set the pace when we started. I did everything I could to make her comfortable and you terrorized her because you couldn’t fucking have her. I’ll agree we both obsess over her.

“I gave you that and worried that I was a younger you. I truly did. Fuck, it’s something I’ve focused a lot on in therapy even after my therapist has assured me it wasn’t true. My crime was not being able to let go and not listening to what she needed. I learned how to do better. I wanted to do better. You wanted what you wanted no matter the cost to her.

“So we are not the same. You are a predator who wanted someone half your fucking age and used her situation and your authority against her. I’m a few fucking years older than her and I made damn sure my position never made her feel pressured or led to anything she wasn’t fucking ready for. Ever. So no, we’re not the same, mate.”
