I lived to serve.

“You're a real selfish bastard, do you know that?” Pax asked as we drove back. It was just Pax and Aurora in the car as I drove, so apparently Pax felt comfortable openly speaking about his jealousy.

I was always comfortable and ready to talk about his jealousy, so I was fine with him initiating this conversation. “Is this because I fucked Aurora and didn't invite you?”

“We were just on the next floor. It would have been polite.”

I wasn't sure I'd ever heard Pax talk about being polite before. Aurora snickered, and he quirked an eyebrow at her.

“Well, get used to it. I’m going to be a selfish bastard any chance I get.” I reached over and ran my fingers through Aurora's hair. Her back arched, her head pressing my hand between her and the smooth leather seatback, as if she liked it. I knotted my hand through her hair. “And if you bitch about it, I'm going to drag Aurora over the gear shift to suck my cock and make you watch.”

Pax rolled his eyes and gave me a disgusted look before sitting back. “Fine. Then don't be surprised when you get left out of all the orgies around the house.”

“I'm not going to get left out.”

“We're not gonna invite you when you're being a dick.”

“I don't need you to invite me. Aurora will.”

“We do need to talk about how this relationship is going to work,” Aurora said.

“You’re mine, obviously,” I said. “And I'll share you with them.”

Aurora let out a laugh. “That is not how this is going to happen. If anything, you're mine, Cain. ”

“I bet your asshole’s still throbbing from my cock,” I reminded her, and her knees squeezed together subtly. She certainly was.

“It is. Because I wanted you,” she said. “And I’m actually the one who is in charge.”

“Yes, definitely going over the gear shift—” I reached for her, but paused as my phone rang. Aurora and I exchanged a look, since it was my mom’s number. My thumb hovered over the button on the steering wheel to answer. “Try not to say anything weird.”

“Us?” Aurora asked, looking skeptical, which was rich. I eyed her as I answered, and she mouthed at me, “You’re just making me want to do absurd things. Like pretend to be sucking Paxton’s cock?”

Paxton, in the backseat, visibly brightened. Why pretend, when she could have the real thing?

“Hi Mom,” I said, my voice coming out even flatter than usual. “I’m busy, what is it?”

“Hey, honey.”

There was a long pause. It dragged on so long that it started to irritate me. “What?”

“I just feel sick about the fact that you and your father are having an argument,” she said. “Remember, life is too short to hold grudges.”

“He killed Paxton 's mom,” I reminded her.

“Ohhh,” she said, her sigh a long breath out as if she could make enough white noise to block out the truth. “But Cain, he’s your father. You only have one father.”

“What do you want, Mom?” Life is too short not to hold grudges. I cared too much about myself and the ones close to me to ‘forgive and forget’, which I would bet would be her third platitude.

“Can you come to dinner?” she asked. “We can talk things out?”

“Tonight?”

I sighed. I wanted to spend the rest of the day either dismantling the Demon or buried deep in Aurora. “Fine.”

As soon as I hung up, Aurora asked, “Did she sound distressed to you?”

“She always sounds distressed if you disturb the cozy little world she knit herself by hardly ever leaving our compound except to shop with an armed guard.” Despite what I said, I knew what Aurora meant. Aurora was so attentive. She saw and heard everything, just like me.
