But as I watch, I’m not left out. I feel Arc’s pleasure as if it’s my own as his cum fills her mouth.
I feel Shock’s orgasm crash over me in a wave as he floods her pussy.
She smiles up at me, cum on her tongue, the barest drip at the corner of her mouth.
How were any of us supposed to accomplish anything when we feel like this?
CHAPTER
SEVENTEEN
RISK
Shock and Arcstay home when I take Chrys back to town to get her medication changed.
The note from her doctor had been waiting when we’d finally been able to drag ourselves apart and—honestly—we need the break.
Arc declared himself unable to make the trip… one stray thought and he was done for. Shock elected to stay, too. Tohelpwhen he needed it.
Legs curled up underneath her, Chrys leans against the opposite side of the car and I canfeelher trying not to distract me.
“You have a question.” I glance at her, letting my gaze linger on her while the road is straight.
“It’s not a specific question… More like a bunch of ‘hows’ jumbled together and tied up with a ‘what if.’”
I imagine the mess of her thoughts would make Arc’s brow wrinkle.
“Ask me one of the ‘hows’ and we’ll see if we can’t get it sorted out.”
“How does anyone get anything done?”
I smile at the road and I know she can feel my amusement, so it’s not a surprise when she shoves my arm and says, “Don’t laugh at me!”
“We’ll get used to it,” I tell her and… for the first time that I can remember, I know something, but I don’t quitebelieveit.
“I don’t think I want to get used to it.”
She does, but I don’t correct her. She knows that too.
“How are we supposed to do all the things we need to get done if we’re constantly fighting this?”
ThatI don’t know. There’s no one way.
“Do you regret getting everything you wanted?”
“Of course not!” She scowls at me when she realizes I was just teasing. “I am trying to figure out how to adjust to all of this.”
“Me too.”
She asks me four more ‘hows’ as we cross the flat grassland between the Zone’s foothills and the white pillars of the city. And then I know exactly where she and Shock had to stop on the first return trip.
“Sorry.” She grimaces, biting her tongue and wincing.
“Don’t be. I’m sure he’d love the chance for a do over.”
“Can you read minds now, too?”
“No. Please don’t take this the wrong way, but your thoughts are pretty easy to guess right now.”
