I looked from Enzo to Calix.
Calix nodded. “He’s been in the ale most of the afternoon.”
“I can tell.” I giggled.
Enzo looked over my shoulder. “Is Gage with you?”
He hadn’t come back yet. My mind wondered where he could have gone. “No.”
“That’s odd. You both disappeared yesterday morning.”
Was it only yesterday morning that we left? So much had happened in such a short amount of time that it was hard for me to wrap my head around. “He came with me-”
“Did you off the miserable bastard?”
“I-”
Enzo leaned in, his scent swirling around me. “No one would blame you if you did.”
I couldn’t help but wonder if they knew about him… the real him.
They had to know, right?
I smiled. “I didn’t. We separated on the way back.”
“You did? Where did you go?”
“Let her rest. She just got back from traveling.” Barrett said, walking in.
I looked at him and nodded and there was something in his eyes… an expression I couldn’t quite place.
“Scarlet. You can head to your room and rest for a bit. We will call you when dinner is ready.” His words were clipped.
Was he dismissing me?
Had Gage made it back here before me and told him the truth about who I am?
I stared at him for a second, debating on calling him out for dismissing me or just letting it go. I decided on the latter and headed towards the stairs while Calix and Enzo watched, equally shocked.
When I got to my bedroom, I fell back onto my bed, sprawling out. I had a brief flashback of Gage on top of me, which caused my legs to quiver and my insides to tighten.
Before I could do anything to take the edge away, there was a soft knock on my door.
I bolted upright, wiped my face and patted my hair back as if that could hide the dirty thoughts in my mind.
“Come in.”
Barrett.
He closed the door behind him and moved to sit on the edge of the bed.
I don’t know if it was because I was horny as hell right now or if it was because I never paid attention to Barrett before, but the way he walked into my room- the authority in his saunter- turned me on. He was equally hot as the others, with his muscles, defined jawline and brown hair, but there was something else that seemed to light a fire in my pants right now.
I readjusted, so I was facing him. “Did you come to tell me why you dismissed me earlier?” My tone and words came out a little harsher than I intended, but I didn’t apologize.
A smile parted his lips and then he sighed. “Gage talked with me.”
Shit. How did he get back here so quickly? “Oh. Where is he?”
