Page 134 of Seeking Two Lovers

I nodded without hesitation, thankful as fuck he knew what I needed—and what I felt sure he’d seen in Lily’s eyes as well. “You’re staying with us tonight,” I told her, sounding bossy just like Grey.

Lily glanced between us, but her gaze flitted toward Sarah and stayed put as though asking her permission before agreeing to my declaration.

“Stay,” Sarah suggested quietly, and I let out an exhale I hadn’t realized I’d held.

So did Lily.

GREYSON

We crashed.

Hard.

Even naked and in a tangle of limbs, not a single one of us turned frisky.

I woke wrapped around Lily’s backside, and she clung to Blaine who’d burrowed his face in her hair.

Quietness lay over my bedroom, but my mind refused further rest.

Sarah looked a hell of a lot worse than I’d expected. I couldn’t believe the doctors back east had allowed her to leave less than twelve hours after arriving in the emergency room, beaten half to death and miscarrying.

But she’d insisted and had been stable enough for the doctors to allow her freedom.

She had assured us right before heading to bed that the loss of the fetus hadn’t caused any internal harm, bluntly telling us she was thankful her body had aborted that monster’s spawn and that the leftover bleeding from the D&C was no more than a light period.

There was no need to check on her during the night, she’d told us with a wink.

But her face…the bruising on her arms clearly defined fingers…

Fuck.

I saw red, and the girl wasn’t even my own blood.

Lily had told me while Blaine showed Sarah to her room that our boy had broken down pretty hard when he finally saw his sister. She’d said it had torn her own heart in two and made her even more determined to help both Blaine and Sarah find happier, healthier lives.

I’d assured her with a quick hug and lingering kiss that she’d given Blaine that and so much more. I’d also claimed she’d done the same for me, which earned me another kiss, one that had a bit of spine-tingling heat behind it.

But we’d fallen into bed minutes later, my chub ignored by her and myself.

The sleep had been unbroken, and I hadn’t felt that rested in weeks.

Like usual, I ran through my daily to-do list for the day in my head but within minutes decided to fuck it all off into the wind.

I wanted to be home with my two lovers and help in whatever way they needed.

A cell beeped quietly.

Lily stirred and groaned while rolling onto her back, blindly reaching for the phone on the bedside table. She turned the alarm off and rubbed her eyes. “Shit.” She sat and grabbed her clothes off the floor where she had dropped them the night before.

“Lily?” I questioned quietly.

“Gotta work.” She pouted over her shoulder while pulling her bra into place.

She’d called off the day before to help us get ready for Sarah, and I’d never been so grateful for a woman. Since I hadn’t been able to drive Blaine to the airport due to Mr. Joseph I. Devonshire III demanding an in-person meeting at my office, she’d been by his side.

And I’d found myself fully trusting in her to see to whatever Blaine might need emotionally to make it through the day.
