“Not gonna kill her, she loves this, don’t you?”

I hum, closing my eyes to try and blink away some of the tears so I can really see them. They look so good together. So tall, attractive, and in love with me. I think there’s more, though. There’s more to them, more than they want to admit.

Adam swells inside my mouth, moaning loudly before he floods my throat with his release and I struggle to swallow it all. He pulls himself from my mouth, and I stand. Incredibly wet, but I look between them and I want to see if what I’m suspecting could be real.

Adam removes Athena from my neck and I grab my shirt and tug it back on, looking between them. I know there’s no way either of them would ever admit anything on their own. I have to force feelings out of them. So if that’s what I need to do for them to admit what I now feel is completely obvious, then that’s what I’m going to do.

CHAPTER 48

ADAM

“You both love me?” Max questions.

“You know we do,” I respond easily, answering for both of us, putting Athena away.

“What about…each other?” She hesitates and I look over at Drew who’s just as surprised by the question as I am.

“What’re you getting at, baby girl?”

“I think you two have more feelings for each other than you want to admit, but you should.” She places her hands on her hips, looking between the two of us.

“I think you’re seeing things, little one. We’re in this foryou,”Drew insists. I can’t explain the way I feel when a small part of me was wondering if he would have a different response. Like maybe she was right and there is more between us. But it’s all because of her.

Neither of us would have let anything progress between us beyond the physical if we weren’t in this situation with her. With her pulling the emotions from us, albeit unwillingly.

“Am I? Because I’ve seen how you look at Adam when you don’t think anyone notices.” She raises an eyebrow at him, and I do the same.

“Like what?” I question.

“You’ve always been a bit overly protective when it comes to him, you don’t think that means anything?” She swings her gaze over to me.

“I show the same level of protectiveness to all my fighters that get injured,” I insist, folding my arms over my chest.

“You both can stay in denial, but I know it’s not true and you should just admit it. Make things easier.” Max shrugs.

“Makes what easier, baby girl?”

“You two realizing it’s okay to have feelings. It’s even more okay to admit them.”

“We did,” Drew insists.

“Forme.”

“We aren’t going to lie,” I tell her, seriously.

“Would it be a lie?” she questions.

I open my mouth to say something, but snap it shut as I really think about it. How I feel about Drew is different than how I feel about Max, but not entirely. With her, the love I feel is easy, it’s natural and like it should have always been there. With Drew I feel…out of control. Like he tests me, but I want to protect him. I want him to succeed, just not at the expense of ruining his body.

At the base of it all I want them both happy. I want them to do things that make them happy, be around people that make them happy even if it’s not me. Even if they are it for me.

Oh fuck.

I do love him.

With the way he’s acting, though, I don’t think he feels the same way and I’m not about to force my fucked up feelings on him. We’ve forced enough on Max, I’m not about to do that to him. We’re all in this relationship and it works, there’s no need to do anything to alter it like she’s trying to do.

“Why does it matter, little one? Is this not enough for you?”
