Daemon - We don’t like you, remember?

Gray - You don’t have to like me to let me partake in debauchery

Gray - Didn’t you discover that when you stuck your tongue down my throat?

I guess he’s got me there, yet I won’t admit defeat.

Daemon - Aren’t you ever going to get over that?

Gray - Are you kidding?

Gray - I’ve jerked off to it at least 50 times

Gray - Great, now I’m hard thinking about it again

Gray - I better go and deal with it….

Gray - Unless you want to help ??

My heart is racing in my chest, my own cock thickening at the images he just painted in my mind.At least fifty times. Fuck. Why does he do this to me? Why, out of everyone, does it have to be fucking him that makes me feel something other than empty?

My hands shake as I type out my response…

Daemon - I think you know the answer to that

Gray - I do know the answer, I also know it’s bullshit, but whatever

His reply is almost instant, as if he is in a rush, just as two more messages pop up, and I am greeted with the words I read every single night before bed.

Gray - Don’t jerk off to me too hard, Forbes ??

Gray - **Image attached**

And as I stare at a picture of my teammate, shirtless and laying in bed, I can’t help but wonder if he is jerking off right now. Then I do the only reasonable thing I can do, the same thing I have done every single night since he started texting me.

I jerk off to images of ArcherfuckingGray.

I’m at Josh Peters’ fucking wedding, and he is not happy about it, but when Reign and I saw our captain pulling on a suit this morning, we practically jumped on him to find out where he was going. Now, I’m sure when he admitted he was accompanying his new girlfriend to her brother’s wedding, he didn’t expect us to tag along, but Alexander and I don’t like to be left out of the loop. So, we gave him our best sad faces until he agreed to let us come with him, and then we were running off to our rooms to dig out our own suits.

Jake came home from his girlfriend’s as we were leaving, took one look at us and declared he didn’t even want to know. Which left me smirking as we made our way across town, to the house where Peters grew up. When we rounded the corner at the bottom of his garden, his eyes hardened with disdain, yet after afew shared words with Nova, he finally relented, and now here we wait.

“Sorry I’m late,” Maddie gasps out, as she rushes down the aisle towards us, my captain's eyes instantly drinking her in. “I had to make a pit stop on the way, I even managed to get a blue one,” she laughs, holding up some items and passing them to Josh when she reaches us, just before Nova drags her into his arms.

“You look absolutely stunning as always, Princess,” he drawls, slamming his lips to hers, and I’m still getting used to seeing this side of my best friend, and honestly, it’s really fucking weird.

“You scrub up quite nicely yourself, Charmer,” Maddie breathes, blushing furiously as she pulls away from him.

“I can’t wait to rip this—” my captain starts, and I watch in delight as her brother's face turns red with anger.

“Nova, I swear to god, if you finish that sentence I am going to kill you, and then myself!” Josh grits, staring Nova down like he means every word, and Reign and I can’t help but laugh, causing Josh to cut his glare to us. “If you’re all staying, then pull it together. Daemon and Hallie will be here any second.”

I stop laughing immediately. “Daemon’s coming?” I ask. Not sure why I presumed he wouldn’t be, I mean he was at his bachelor party, but I just can’t imagine my dark and brooding teammate wanting to be involved in something as fun as a wedding.

Even with all my incessant messages to him over the last week, he hasn’t come out of his shell, and hell, at this point I can’t believe he is even replying, no matter how bold I get.

“You invited Daemon Forbes, but not us?” Alexander asks in outrage, his pout when he doesn’t get what he wants coming out in full force, but my focus now lies solely on the fact that I am going to see Daemon.

“Yes, because unlike you assholes, Daemon is more than just my teammate, he’s my friend.” Josh grits out, cracking his neck, and when I look at him, I see something akin to nerves, but there is something else there too. Something I can’t quite place.
