“Ours, Grace. Ours,” Alessandro moaned before spilling inside of me.

I came too, my cum spilled in my palm. I groaned. I cried. It was glorious devastation and relief all swirling together into one beautiful moment. I went limp at the release, my body feeling liquid and weak.

Grace got up as Alessandro pulled out. She moved timidly, as if she were approaching a wild animal. Her eyes were sad and distant. I slowly stood up. We both turned to face her. I was covered in cum. Covered in happiness. She eyed his cock with a forced smile before handing me her towel to clean up with. “Let’s take a nap,” she whispered.

I wiped off my hands and eyed Alessandro. He gave me a subtle nod, and I knew what he wanted. Cautiously, I stepped closer to Grace. Her bottom lip trembled a bit. I could see that this was harder for her than she wanted it to be. Sharing was difficult but necessary. We worked better together. I pressed my forehead to hers.

“I’m fine,” she promised.

“You’re not,” Alessandro answered. “It’s hard. I get it. You don’t have to be strong. You don’t have to readily accept this. You can feel hurt. You can feel jealous. You can compare. You can wonder if he loves me more or if he wants me more. You’re going to have to accept all those rogue thoughts of yours if you want to work past it.”

Another hot tear fell. “Is that what you did?” she asked.

“Yeah.”

“And did it work?” she asked before cupping my cheek and closing her eyes.

“I’m still working on it. I love you, Grace. Whenever I feel like shit about it, I just think about how much I love you.”

I kissed Grace, and she smiled against my lips before sighing in relief.

We wereallworking on it.

“I love you too, Alessandro,” she whispered while looking me in the eye. “And I love you, Nix. I love you enough to work through this.”

Together.

Together.

Together.

“Together,” Grace whispered, reading my thoughts. “Ours.”

Chapter Eighteen

Grace

I couldn’t sleep. I tried, I really did. I counted sheep. I ignored the heaviness in my chest. I nuzzled closer to Nix and pretended that he didn’t smell like Alessandro and sex. I forced myself to push away the intrusive thoughts of jealousy.

I was nestled between Alessandro and Nix, both of them wrapped around me protectively. I felt safe with them. I felt complete.

I felt broken.

Watching the two of them fuck and admit their love for one another was necessary but hard. I wanted to take Alessandro’s advice to heart and accept all the obsessive thoughts plaguing my mind. I needed to do this. For Nix. For us. Forallof us.

“Go to sleep,” Alessandro murmured. He was watching the door to the motel room and stroking my wrist.

“You go to sleep.”

“Can’t,” he replied with a huff. “Nix and I are taking shifts watching everything.”

I scowled. “And when is my shift?”

“Never.”

I sat up in bed and shoved the blankets off of me. Nix whimpered in his sleep. Alessandro rolled his eyes. “You’re impossible,” I said before climbing over him and getting out of bed.

“You’re the one not resting. Need I remind you how shitty of a week we’ve had? You should try to sleep when you can.”
