“You’re not fucking leaving.” At King’s outburst, Nova flinches in Cass’ arms.

“Nova, tell him,” King hisses, turning to look at her.

“Are you leaving because of me?” Nova asks Bass. Working his jaw side to side he kicks his foot against the floor.

“I lied to you,” he states. Yeah, we all fucking lied to her.

“So is it true?” she asks him.

“Partially, yeah.”

“What does that even mean?” she questions, moving forward to stand in front of him.

“I thought we were, but not by blood,” he tells her. We all see it, except for Bass. Nova’s entire body shifts, her hands cover her face, and she lets out a deep sigh.

“Do you care about me?” she asks him.

“You know I fucking do,” he repeats.

She looks around at us all, eyeing us all with trepidation.

A small smile graces her lips and then she shakes her head as if she’s having an inner battle with herself.

“Baby girl,” I murmur, gaining her attention. I aim a worried half smile at her, it feels like the air from the room has been sucked away and replaced with the tension currently flowing between her and Bass.

“If you think that what you and Bass have done is wrong, it’s not.”

“Then why does it feel wrong? If he knew what he knew?” she whispers.

“Is it any more wrong than what we’ve all been doing?” I ask.

Catching her lip with her teeth, worrying the tender skin, her brows drag together as she thinks about what I just asked.

“I guess not,” she finally answers.

Bass looks visibly relieved.

“We’re not related, Nova. I always thought my parents were my real parents, which would have made us somehow, turns out they’re not so that makes us …” Bass says.

“Not,” she whispers. Bass nods.

Nova glances at me for a brief second before she looks at Bass again.

“You want me to leave?” Bass asks her.

“Do you want to leave?” Nova’s voice cracks slightly, giving away the emotion pushing through.

Bass steps forward, lifting his palm to press it against the side of her face.

“I thought I did, thought it was for the best.”

“And now?” Nova raises an eyebrow.

“Now,” he says, forcing her neck upward so she’s straining to look up at him.

“I just want you.” His lips crash to hers as he forces a strangled gasp from her.

I glance over at Cass and King who nod, they need this, but fucking hell watching them has my cock twitching. Bass’ hands move down cupping Nova’s left cheek, squeezing it before he pushes his pelvis into her.
