“Tongue,” Ciar corrects, now also smirking. His smugness is sickening. Mael groans, the arousal clear in his tiny little hard-on, and I just get even more pissed off.
Fuck this.
I barge past them, and head straight to the bedroom where Zoe is sitting, sobbing on her bed. The same bed we had sex in last night, and that only pisses me off.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” I snap.
“What?” she asks, blinking in surprise. “Why didn’t I tell you what?”
“That you didn’t get to come. That last night was awful. That you had a shit time.”
“I didn’t know it happened every time.” She gets up off the bed, a panicked look on her face as she starts to pull some clothes out of a drawer to keep her hands busy.
“So you didn’t feel needy after? Horny still?” I scoff, rolling my eyes. I’m turning my anger towards her instead of directing it at myself like I should be, but it’s so hard to remain calm when she’s being this ridiculous. “Are you really this stupid?”
“Sorry I didn’t get a manual when I became sexually active,” she whispers, pain filling her gaze. “I’m sorry I was more interested in enjoying the moment with you—our very first times—that I didn’t care whether I got to orgasm or not.”
She grabs her bag, one I haven’t realised she’s been packing, and swings it up onto her shoulders.
Zoe wipes under her eyes and gives me a sad smile. “I’m not sure if you’re being mean because you know the others are upset, or if you truly are mad at me—”
“Zoe—”
She shakes her head, and I fall silent. “I love you, Ry, I really do, and I’m not going to stand here and let you try and ruin a really good memory for me. It might not have been the explosive orgasms I had with Ciar, but it was intimate and special and everything I wanted to do.With you.”
She doesn’t bother to wipe the tears that have dripped down her cheeks, or disguise the sadness in her voice.
“I’m sorry you thought it was bad,” she hiccups on that word, and my eyes fly shut. “I thought it was great.”
And then, I’m alone. It takes me a moment before I realise she’s gone, but I know that I can’t chase after her.
I don’t have that right.
Not after how I’ve just treated her.

ELZORA
Iwipe my eyes, and drop my bag onto the floor. I have absolutely no idea where I am. I look around the gorgeous clearing, the area feeling so serene and peaceful, and there is nobody around to judge me as I sob.
There’s a tugging to my soul that has settled now that I’m here, and I feel like I can actually breathe without having to worry about anything at all.
Ryes was meanto me, and that’s something I never thought I’d have to say.
He’s frustrated because I was terrible last night, and I hate myself for not being what he needed.
I didn’t fulfil my part of things.
I let my emotions guide me, my longing for him, but what I should’ve done was not try to initiate in the first place.
Those who say it takes two to tango have never had sex with me, a terrible bed partner, and an even worseanima nexum.
Because I’m an idiot who couldn’t do the one thing that he needed from me to not make himself look stupid to the others.
A portal opens and Zohar steps through. His familiar magicae is the only thing that stops me from jumping in surprise, and he comes to sit by me on the ground.
He stays silent, not forcing me to speak, but I still wipe away the tears that have fallen.
