“Zeke,” Sam hissed, mortified. “You can’t ask them to do that for me.”

I paused. “Are you upset because I’m sharing your triggers? Or because your brain is telling you you’re not worth the hassle?”

A muscle jumped in his jaw as he stared at me mutinously. I calmly waited him out, doing nothing more than raising a brow.

It didn’t take long before he exhaled and folded his arms over his chest. “The second one.”

“Fuck, you’re adorable.” I stole a quick kiss. “Keep pouting like that and I’ll suck you off right here on this sofa.”

Sam’s pout morphed into a wicked smirk. “Dare you.”

“Oh I will.” I pointed down at my phone. “As soon as I’m finished with this, I’m gonna make you moan so loudly that you won’t be able to hear your own thoughts.”

Sam groaned, but this time it was full of need. He licked his lips as he nodded at my phone. “Hurry.”

Ezekiel

Most of all, if he tells you something, LISTEN. Even if what he’s saying or asking for seems illogical, listen.

Benji

I’ll fill them all in on what they need to know

Micah

Sam, please let us know if there’s specific triggers you want us to avoid

Sam’s voice was thick as he blinked rapidly at the screen. “They’re all so…nice. I wasn’t expecting this.”

I smiled. “Told you so.”

Nate

yeah, we might fuck around, but we genuinely don’t want to upset you

Theo

we’re twats, but not cunts

Trust the twins to bring us back to earth. Sam’s laugh rippled through the air as he typed a reply.

Sam

what’s the difference?

Theo

cunts upset people more than twats

Nate

it makes perfect sense

Rami

it does not. Don’t worry Sam, none of us understand them either.

I tilted my screen away from Sam subtly as the Seraphim thread popped up.
