Page 112 of Her Males

And she thanked him by fucking a shifter.

“You feel so stupid that you abandoned Charlie in her time of need?” Gray challenges.

I look away, not wanting to think about that.

“You left with me,” I point out.

“Would you have come back home if I hadn’t chosen you?” Gray doesn’t wait for an answer. He doesn’t need one. “Besides, Aziel and two shifters are more than capable of getting Charlie from my dad. I would’ve just held them back.”

I look at the ceiling, avoiding eye contact. I want to wallow in self-pity, not own up to what I did. It was wrong to leave, but I couldn’t bring myself to stand there and panic over her with the man she left us for.

She made her decision, and it isn’t us.

Gray sighs before lying on top of me, his support welcome. I let him bury his face in my neck and breathe me in, his touch helping to soothe my guilt. It grows with each passing minute, and I wrap my arms around Gray when it starts to make my chest burn.

The shifter reeked of her, his entire body covered in her scent, and the cum smelled of them both. Did she even think of us before giving herself to him? How long did it take for her to welcome others into her bed?

The questions rip through my mind like fire, fueling my anger.

It makes sense why she didn’t want to come home.

She probably doesn’t even think of this place as home, which makes me feel even worse about how desperately we were working to create a space for her. Even Aziel helped to paint this stupid room.

Fuck.

I still shouldn’t have left like that.

Charlie may have been hurtful in her way of leaving us, but that doesn’t mean she deserves to be abandoned in Lust. The incubi wouldn’t hesitate to do awful things to her.

“Are they okay?” I ask, unable to hold back my curiosity.

I know Gray can reach Aziel through the bond, and while I’m sure he would’ve spoken up if he felt something was wrong, I want to hear confirmation.

Gray pops his head out from my neck and meets my gaze. I can tell he’s debating whether or not to answer, his body tensing, before he subtly nods.

“There was some panic shortly after we left, but Aziel’s been calm for hours,” he admits.

Was Charlie surprised when Aziel came to her rescue without us? A small part of me hopes she asked where we were.

I cup Gray’s head and bring his mouth to mine to stop my thoughts. I don’t want to think about Charlie anymore tonight. She makes my body ache, and I’m tired of sitting around like her little lap dog.

Gray’s tears land on my cheeks as he drags his mouth to my neck, his teeth nipping at the skin before latching on. I can tell he wants to mark me, but I shake my head and move his lips away from that particular area.

Not tonight.

Gray huffs, annoyed, but he doesn’t push it as he sinks down my body.

I run my fingers through his hair as he slides off the bed and begins to strip. His bones are visible through his skin, and I can’t help but frown as I eye them. He must be starving.

Gray reaches for me, and I lift my hips to help him pull down my pants. His eyes darken as he looks at my body, his lust filling my lungs and expanding my cock despite my sour mood.

“If she wants you back, what will you do?” I want to know if I need to prepare for our split.

If he forgives her, he’ll end up bonding with her.

It’s a serious thing, a life tie, and I won’t do it to somebody I’m unsure about. I can’t do that to myself, even if it means leaving my males and life behind.

Gray pauses, his hesitance making me worry. Fingers trace up my thighs before curling around my cock, and I hiss at his rough grip. Fuck, that feels good.
