“I’m so wiped out, I don’t know if I can come again,” I panted, palms still pinned to the wall.

“That’s fine, Princess. No pressure. I just need you on my mouth.”

My knees shook.

He took more of my weight.

“I need to talk to Nova,” I breathed.

“After I’m done with you.”

“And Sydney.”

“They’ll wait.”

“And—”

“If another man’s name leaves your mouth while I’m eating you out, I’m going to put you on your hands and knees in this shower and fuck you until you can’t remember him.”The threat was dark, and matter-of-fact.

Oh.

Wow.

Yes, please.

“Silas,” I said.

He snarled against me, swept me off my feet, and lowered me carefully to my hands and knees.

And fucked me.

Until I reallycouldn’tremember who I needed to talk to.

My face was still flushedfrom all the sex when we finally made it out of our room. Enzo held my hand, and he’d laced his fingers between mine.

I was uncertain about the hand holding, but it did feel nice.

So, I went along with it.

People looked at me differently when we passed them. There was less friendliness. More uncertainty.

I tried not to let it get to me, but failed.

We reached a room down the hall that I’d never been inside before, and when we stepped in, I found a casual conference room with ten chairs in it. I looked around the room, and found our people already inside and waiting.

Sydney and Nova sat next to each other. Silas was at Nova’s side, and she was talking to him. Clay was on the other side of Sydney, chatting easily. Hunter was across the table from Nova, staring down at his phone with a forced neutral expression on his face. His scarred eyebrow was twitching. I was pretty sure he wasfighting not to look at Nova, considering what I knew about their connection.

Fletcher sat across from her, studying me like he was looking for injuries.

Everyone turned toward us when we walked in, except Hunter. I assumed that if he lifted his head, his eyes were going to go straight to Nova, and he didn’t want them to.

I couldn’t help but look at Silas.

He was totally healed. Completely fine.
