I got the message through.
Tye wouldn't be walked over.
He was a Dom, just like me.
Two Doms wouldn't work.
It didn't matter because I wasn't gay, nor was he. It was just a drunken thing.
I nodded as though I was convincing myself.
It's just a drunken thing.

REIGN
Elizabeth grips her towel to her body, and I step closer, tilting my head as I stare at her. She’s pale, but more than that, she’s refusing to meet my eyes.
“Why are you here?” Elizabeth whispers, clearing her throat.
“You haven’t answered my calls.” When I moved closer, I noticed her skin prickled with goosebumps.
“I needed some space. Is that a crime?”
I stopped and held my hands up. “No.”
“What do you want, Reign?”
“I want to make sure you’re okay.”
The air in the room thickened, and Elizabeth shrugged. “I’m fine.”
I glanced around the room, the messy bed and her guilty expression.
“You came back to Brandon?”
Elizabeth shook her head, and it was then that I saw it.
An ugly purple bruise, yellowed around the edges, on her throat.
Someone had hurt her.
“What’s that?” I growled, lifting her chin to the side to view it fully. It wasn’t a hand mark, which probably meant a mouth had left it.
Whose mouth?
“Nothing.” Elizabeth moved her chin from my grasp, but I was too quick for her, tugging her close to me.
“Look at me.”
“Reign,don’t.”
My finger stroked her chin, and I dropped my mouth to the bruise, kissing it softly. She sucked in a breath when I moved her hands from her towel, letting it fall to the floor. Her nipples showed the faintest marks on what was otherwise perfectly untouched skin, but aside from that, there were no more marks.
Elizabeth backed up to the bed, her hand searching the bed behind her for clothes.
I frowned and tilted my head. “What do you need? I’ll get it for you.” I offered gruffly, my gut telling me something was wrong.
