ability to embarrass me.
| pulled up the covers in an attempt to cover my nudity.
“I'm not trying to humiliate you, Riley, but there's literally no part of you | haven't seen yet.”
“I think you and Thane are freaks,” | say, and | do mean it, but | abandoned the covers. He was right, though.
“Where is he?”

A very random memory flashed through my mind. | also recurred that night, after Thane had marked me, he had
lost control, almost takingthere, but Axel stopped It, and before he left, he had said the words, ‘I'm sorry’, It
hadn’t occurred tothat he might be apologizing for what he was about to do with Beatrix.
Maybe it was my mind making up things; Thane could never apologize for such a thing; he had said it to me; who
he fucked was none of my business, but he had promised to end it. | wondered if | had been good enough. | was
no pro; | was no expert as he certainly was, and | believed Beatrix might be more skilled.
“How did it feel last night?”
“That might have been one of the best he ever had at least for as long as | could remember,” Axel answered. He
wasn't just saying that for my benefit. But | felt the same; even through the pain, that had also been one of the
best sex | had ever had.
“I need to take a very long bath.”
“I will go draw a bathe for you,” he said before disappearing into the bathroom.
He returned a few minutes later.
“What are you doing?” | asked when he ccloser.
“Still afraid?; | can’t harm you.”
“I know that.”
“Do you really?. | doubt you can stand or walk; I'll have to carry you all the way there,” he explained.

While Thane and Axel were similar, Axel seemed to be the kindest of the pair, while Thane just couldn't care less
about anything going on around him, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t very
