He walks up to her and places a possessive hand on her ass. “You’re standing awfully close, sweetheart,” he mutters.
She wraps her arms around his neck and looks up at him prettily from beneath her lashes.
“No need to be territorial, baby. He just told us he’s in love with Nera.”
Rhys, who’d been making out heavily with Thayer in the background like they haven’t seen each other in two years instead of two periods, rips his mouth away and looks down at her.
“Fuck me, we missed the good bit. Debrief me later, love?”
She nods, reaching for his face and bringing his mouth back down on hers.
“Hey,” I say, snapping my fingers to get their attention. “I have too much shit to do to watch this little lovers’ reunion unfold much longer. If you’re satisfied with my answers, feel free to leave.”
“You’re not messing her about?” Bellamy asks.
“No.”
“Promise?” Thayer adds, a hint of warning in her tone.
“Yes.”
Six nods and steps out from between Phoenix’s legs, walking up to me and giving me a quick hug. I hear him make an annoyed sound so I keep my arms firmly by my side.
“Then welcome to the family, Tristan,” she says before laughing. “It’s so weird to say your first name.”
“What the– what are you guys doing?”
We all turn around as one to see Nera standing in the doorway, a truly bewildered expression on her face watching us all together. She must be on her way to practice because she’s in a cute workout set with her equipment bag slung over her shoulder.
I point at them. “Your friends are grilling me about my intentions with you.”
“Good news, Ner Bear, turns out he’s not a pervert. We asked him,” Thayer announces proudly.
Nera’s face is so comical, I can’t help but laugh.
“Um, okay,” she says, unsure how to answer. She turns towards Six. “So, how’d he do?”
Sixtine smiles happily at her best friend.
“He passed with flying colors.”
Bellamy turns in Rogue’s arms so she’s standing back to his front with his arm slung around the top of her chest.
“For now. We’re crime buffs, her and I,” she says, waving her thumb between herself and Thayer. “I’ve seen every single episode ofLaw & Order: SVU, okay? I’ll Olivia Benson you into next year if I think you’re a creep.Orif you hurt her.”
“Understood,” I say with a solemn nod. I turn to face Nera, speaking to her friends but looking at her. “Now please leave so I can tell my girlfriend how much I missed her today,” I purr, extending my hand towards her.
She walks over to me, eyes pinned lustfully on my face, and intertwines her fingers with mine. I curl her against me as I hear the others start to move towards the door.
I look up at her from my sitting position, enjoying this different view for once. She places a warm hand on my cheek, caressing me softly.
“About that extension…” I hear Thayer start in the background, her tone teasing.
“Get out,” I say dismissively, my eyes never leaving Nera’s.
“Worth a try,” Thayer says, laughing loudly.
Rhys slings an arm around her shoulder and pulls her close. All traces of playfulness leave his face as he cuts me an icy look. “Watch the way you speak to her, Novak.”
