“Tell you what?” Thayer scoffed. “Tell you that not only had my parents just died, but that I was dealing with trying to help my brother cope through it too?” His face shook, and his face twisted as tears burst through. “It was hard enough admitting that I’d lost my parents. I couldn’t tell one of the people I’d met at group that I was losing my brother too.”
Thayer had always told me I was like the brother he’d never had. Given what Troian had shared with me, maybe that was still true. But all this time we’d been friends, roommates, sharing our lives together, Thayer had been silently dealing with this huge burden of trying to keep his twin out of trouble. It hurt to think that he didn’t feel like he could have leaned on me to share that burden with.
But Troian’s earlier words echoed in my head.He’s too good for his own good. Thayer was shouldering the truth to protect me, I got that. All that did was hurt Thayer in the process, though.
“I understand,” I clapped a hand on Thayer’s shoulder. “As best I can. But I still think you should have trusted me enough to tell me at some point over the past ten years.”
“You’re right.” Thayer grabbed hold of my shoulders, making me almost forget that his grumpier mirror was to my right. “I should have told you. You’re my best friend and it wasn’t right for you to find out the way that you did. I’m sorry. I just…I wasn’t strong enough to speak about it.”
I pulled him into an embrace, one he took a minute to giveback to me. When I retracted from his grip, I gave him a smile, turning my chin towards his brother. “According to him, you’re the strong one.”
Thayer looked over at his brother, and there was an awkward glance shared between them. One that held years of resentment, but also years of remaining unresolved. Thoughts of Kroven broke the spell of being entailed in their family affair, and I started walking toward my room.
“I’m gonna grab some of my things to take over to Kroven’s. I’m gonna take it easy over there for a couple days. Which will give you guys plenty of time to talk.”
Neither of them said anything, resistance or otherwise. I threw as many clothes as I could into the denim duffle bag I kept under my bed for traveling. I made sure to grab a couple of my toiletries from my conjoined bathroom.
After telling the twins goodbye, I hoped that they could work things out. Troian clearly was doing his best to make up for what he’d done to Thayer. It would take me a little bit of time to fully come around to the fact that my best friend hadn’t told me such a huge detail about his life. But I’d get over it.
Preferably by being otherwise occupied with my hot and handsome sangamar boyfriend.
Chapter 29
Once a week had passedsince I’d woken up from the accident at the blood center, I finally started to feel like I was back to my old self. I’d had a little bit of a setback once I’d gotten settled at Kroven’s, my body crashing from the stress of moving around so much and I was mentally tapped from the revelation about Thayer and Troian. So for once, I was leaning into being bedridden in the comfort of Kroven’s king-sized bed.
I knew that Kroven had heard from Exo and Wallace, but he’d told them that he was unavailable until I was starting to feel better. No amount of protesting from me that he could go and discuss things in my absence had convinced him, and I’ll admit a small part of me was grateful that’d he declined to go. Having Kroven to make sure I was recovering was equal parts elation and frustration. Elation because he was really good about making sure I took the medicine the doctor had prescribed to accelerate my recovery. Frustration because he’d sworn off all sexual activity until I was making visible progress. I blamed the setbacks, where I’d had trouble walking without his help just to do something simple like walk to the bathroom.
But that was over now. Which was how I’d convincedKroven to take a shower with me, my body pressed against the tile of his open concept shower as he drilled his dick inside of me.
This was the first time we’d had full-on sex since we’d gotten back to Piper and I was eager to have him use my ass. Even now as he thrust inside by retracting his hips painfully slow, I could tell that he was going easier on me than he normally would have. What I wanted was to be fucking pounded and while it was really noble of him to take it easy on me, it was also really fucking annoying.
Less frustration and more elation.
Reaching behind me, I felt around until my hand found Kroven’s ass and I pulled him faster into me. “Kroven, please, justfuckme. I can take it.”
“Are you sure?”
To prove my point, I squeezed his cock with my ass, earning me a growl from my boyfriend, the raised ridges on his dick sliding salaciously through my insides. Without warning, Kroven smacked my ass with a hard welt that I knew was going to leave a mark on my skin. Pre-cum oozed out of my piss slit as I relished the pain turned pleasure. Kroven grabbed my hips and started rocking his hips forward in a swifter motion, the sensations from my ass spiderwebbing throughout my entire body. Heat rose from the core of my being and radiated throughout my bones, rattling me so that I shivered at how good Kroven was at pleasuring me.
“Ohfuck,” I cried out, reaching between my legs to stroke my aching dick. I could feel the head of Kroven’s cock blistering against my prostate every time he pulled out and back in again. “Fucking pound my hole.”
“Yeah?” Kroven gritted through his teeth, his assault on my ass not letting up. “You like getting fucked by that fat cock?”
Unable to give an intelligent answer, I grunted a string of moans and melted back up against him, rutting my ass as hardas I could to meet his thrusts, my hand blurring over my dick as I felt my orgasm climbing and climbing.
The water kept pouring down on us as my moans really started to echo off the tile. I yelped again when Kroven smacked my other ass cheek, giving me what I presumed was a matching hand print.
“Kroven,” I panted. “You feel sofucking goodinside me.”
“Fuck, baby.” Kroven grunted, his voice deepening as a sign of his own impending climax. “I’m gonna come.”
“Give it to me,” I demanded. “Fill me up and make me yours.”
He lunged forward as far as he could, screaming my name over and over again as I felt his dick twitching inside me, his cum flooding my ass. Just feeling the warmth spreading inside my ass was enough to make me burst, my dick jerking in my fast fist as I came. My cum flew out of my cock in haphazard zigzags that coated the too bright tile of the shower.
Slowly, Kroven withdrew himself from me, my dick reacting to the ridges on the side of him, feeling empty instantly. He sighed in content as I turned around to face him, throwing my arms around his neck as he pulled me close. Our tongues clashed together in a show of post-nut affection, his hands lingering down my back until he grabbed a handful of my ass and shook the cheek.
“You never cease to make me come harder than I ever have in all my years.” Kroven shook his head.
