Share Us
He never wanted to disappoint her. If this was what she wanted . . . would sharing her be so bad?
If he said no, then what? There was still no moving forward for them.
And one day she’d find someone.
Someone who wouldn’t want Loki too. Remy could be offering him everything.
If he was brave enough to take it.
It meant another person to protect. To keep alive. Although Remy could take care of himself.
“I get you don’t trust me,” Remy said. “You don’t know me.”
“I don’t know if I trust someone who seems to have all the answers.”
To his shock, rather than get angry, Remy smiled. “Fair enough. Makes you feel better, I’ve made my share of mistakes. Don’t always have the answer.”
“Could’ve fooled me,” Isa muttered.
“Are you eating that sandwich, baby? Or just squishing it?” he asked.
Isa stared at him for a moment, then down at the sandwich in her hand as if she’d never seen it before.
“Ooh, yum. Date and cream cheese. My favorite.” She took a big bite.
Remy glanced over at Loki. “She had no idea she was holding that?”
Loki winked at Isa. “She can get focused on one thing and forget about others. Like eating and drinking.”
“But you make sure she does, don’t you?” Remy asked.
“Of course. She’s my girl.”
Loki had likely said that to get a reaction from him. But Remy was coming to terms with the fact that he was going to share this girl.
That it really might take two of them to watch over her.
“Loki’s always taken good care of me,” she said quietly.
“Not always,” Loki said darkly. “You were run off the road and I wasn’t fucking here.”
Shit. He was starting to spiral. Without thought, Remy placed his hand on the back of the other man’s neck and squeezed.
“Easy,” Remy said. “Take a deep breath. We’ll get back to that. She’s safe now. She’s sitting right here. And we’ll make sure that nothing happens to her.”
Loki took a deep breath in and let it out. Remy felt the tension ease out of him. He quickly removed his hand. He shouldn’t have done that without Loki’s permission and it could have backfired spectacularly.
But he needed to help him.
And it seemed to have worked. Maybe a small demonstration like that would help.
“You don’t have to agree to anything right now,” Remy said. Even though he was certain that was what the other man needed. He had to learn that he couldn’t control everything and everyone.
Yeah, you probably shouldn’t have claimed him without him agreeing first.
“But I think we can agree that we both wantourgirl.”
He put a slight emphasis on the wordour.
