“She misses us, stupid,” Dimitri says.
“Misses is a very big word,” I add.
“She’s not made of fucking glass, so stop treating like she is. She’s strong, fierce, she killed her own dad. Emptied the entire clip in his body. She doesn’t need our doting,” Dimitri says.
“We’re being too nice, that’s it?” Knox fills in.
“It’s… weird,” I whisper.
“Baby, you don’t have to be strong now, you can… we got you. You know that, right?” Jax asks.
“I know that. It just… feels off. This is not who you are and yes you three could change a bit for the better… cause well… you know. But this?” I point to us all. “I’m not even sure what this is.”
“Oh, I can show you what this is,” Jax teases as he rubs his tongue piercing between his lips and I briefly wonder why he took out the snake bites and his eyebrow piercing.
“I’m sure you can,” I nudge back.
I don’t see it coming, not until warm hands cover my sensitive cheeks and turn my face. Dimitri’s lips press on mine, my eyes wide open as his kiss becomes almost painful.
He pulls back slightly. Our lips part. “I’m not leaving, they aren’t leaving, but I hear you. I get what you need, but we need your help, okay, sweetheart?” He whispers the last part and his breath tickles my wet lips.
I swallow and nod without a sound.
“Good girl,” Dimitri whispers.

JAXON
He stole her lips, he… fucking Dimitri.
“I can’t believe you kissed her,” I snap as I change the channel on the TV. Hope went to bed two hours ago and myunease hasn’t left me. I can’t get the image out of my mind. It fucking haunts me.
“Relax, Jax. It was just a peck,” Dimitri says, but I see that smug glint in his eyes.Bastard.
“Knox, it seems we’re the only two she hasn’t touched yet,” I grumble and silence stretches on.
“Knox?” Dimitri asks.
“Not the time,” Knox mutters and I toss a couch pillow at his head.
“That’s your favorite sentence, isn’t it,” I snarl and shake my head.
“Fine, but promise you’ll let it go,” Knox warns.
“I promise nothing,” I say, and Dimitri takes a sip from his beer.
Knox’s gaze shifts between me and Dimitri as he says, “I fucked her before…”
“Fucked her?!” I screech and jump off the couch. My skin feels on fire, my hands tingle.
“Jax,” Dimitri calls out and my chest heaves with every breath, yet a smile spreads on my lips and Dimitri mumbles something under his breath.
“How was it?” I ask.
“Perfect,” Knox says with a smile before taking a nip from his beer.
I slump back down and stare at the bedroom door. “He didn’t break her,” I whisper as the reality falls back. “She wants us, right?”
