Page 21 of Nest Of Lies

I freeze and turn my head just slightly, looking at the woman who rears up, flicking her hair back as she starts moving. She rides the guy who I can’t see, and his joyful groans make me want to find a brick and bash his face in. My mind stutters and fury fills my chest, mixed with a dollop of pure, unadulterated envy. His hands grip her hips, sinking down to her ass and squeezing.

He groans, and I can’t even. I walk to the door, open it and slip out, before pulling it shut really loudly.

I knew he’d fuck other people. Of course, I knew. They are alphas, but I didn’t want to believe it. I have the urge to sniffle and only the fact my bear is here keeps me moving.

I make it down unseen, all the way to the kitchen. People don’t see what they don’t want to see, and I look harmless. I look like a young woman. They expect to see me here. No one calls me out.

I get to the kitchen and spot Beezie straight away. My lower lip trembles. How dare they put Beezie in a noose. I climb up on the counter and pull him free.

“Lia,” Zaden growls.

I jump and turn to find him dressed and looking exhausted. I glance up and back at him.

“How did you finish and get down here so quickly?”

He frowns. “What? No, that’s not important.”

Zaden reaches out, grabbing my legs. I tumble over his shoulders, but he catches me so I don’t fall completely over him. In fact, that huge hand smoothes over my ass before he hits it hard.

I let out a squeak.

“Do you see all my people here? Haven’t we had words about this?”

“I want my bear.”

He slaps my ass again. I let out a yelp, and he smooths his hand over the spot.

“You cannot be here, Lia. It’s not safe,” he says as he carries me through the mansion. I look up and spot Valen and Ianto. They work their way in our direction as he carries me to the back door. Ranger appears and kisses my cheek.

“You came to visit?” he teases.

“I came from my bear, you heathens!” I snap.

There’s only one person left. One person who might be upstairs. I’m cold to the bone, my thoughts twisting over and over.

“Who is Mills fucking in your bed?” I bark out and wish I could take it back.

Zaden stops dead. “What?”

I close my eyes and wish, really wish, for a do over.Really subtle, Lia.

“You were in my bedroom?”

“People are fucking on your bed!” I snap in protest.

“Who?” Ranger asks.

Ianto holds out a phone, and the guys gather close to watch the screen. Someone is stroking my ass.

I’m finding it hard to breathe, and my panties are getting wet. All I can think about is the slow stroke over my butt cheeks and how good it feels. Why does my ass like being hit and patted?

“That’s not Mills, love. That’s Dog. And he better hope that whore was worth it because his ass is getting flogged,” Valen purrs.

I yelp when someone pinches me.

“Valen, don’t do that!” I grumble.

“You’re so cute when you’re jealous,” Ranger teases.
