Fractured (Josie) novel Chapter 81

Chapter 0081 

Axel looks torn. Theo is right, he does know something. He opens his mouth to speak and then frowns. 

“I can’t,” he sighs. 

“Wow, so you do know something but won’t tell us,” Thed 

“No, you don’t understand. I physically can’t,” Axel rubs at his temples either from stress or a headache. 

“Shit, you’ve been compelled not to tell us something,” Theo begins pacing, “I knew something wasn’t right, I’m going to go and confront him,” Then moves around me to leave but Axel steps in front of the door. 

“No, not again,” Axel’s words are strained and he shakes his head. 

“Fuck, I’ve been compelled too, haven’t I?” Theo curses. “What about, Jose, has she been compelled?” 

A bead of sweat forms on Axel’s brow and his breathing becomes faster. 

“Theo stop, I think it’s hurting him to even ask, we need to find another way,” I take Axel’s hands in mine. “It’s okay, breathe,” I tell him. 

“Sorry, Axe, don’t say anything else, you’ll be okay soon,” Theo says and comes over to pat him on the shoulder. Jose we need to be really careful, if we show signs we know we will probably get compelled again. We have to assume Luke and Mace have been compelled too,” 

“Okay, but let’s talk about this alone. I’m not risking hurting him any further,” I motion to Axel whose brow is creased in pain. 

“You don’t look so good, buddy, let’s get you on the bed,” Theo takes one of Axel’s arms and wraps it over his shoulders to support him, and I repeat the action on the other side, “I meant that in a totally non–gay way by the way,” he adds, making me giggle. 

“Good, because you couldn’t handle me anyway,” Axel groans in pain as we manoeuvre out of the bathroom door.

“Josie,” Theo mock whispers, “I think Daddy Axe is trying to flirt with me,” 

I snort out a laugh, it doesn’t matter how bad of a day I’m having, I can always rely on Theo to make me laugh. 

“Did you just call me Daddy?” Axel half laughs as we get to the bed. 

“What happened?” Luke rushes into the room, assessing Axel with concerned eyes. 

“Nothing he’s fine, he just had the orgasm of his life is all, Theo says quickly and I could kick him when I see Mason leaning against the doorframe, eyeing us suspiciously. Think horny thoughts. Think horny thoughts. I repeat in my head because I’m 99% sure Mason is using his empath gift to test us. 

“Josie, I think the bath is ready. Let’s leave Axel to sleep it off,” Theo says and ushers me into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him quickly and leaning against it “fuck,” he mouths. 

“Mason is reading our emotions,” I whisper as quietly as possible. 

“I know,” he grins and points to his erection tenting his pants. 

“We had the same thoughts then,” I grin back. I love how in tune me and Theo are. I definitely don’t need a seer to tell me that he is my soulmate. He feels like my best friend, partner in crime and lover all wrapped up in a hot package.

“Will Axel definitely be okay?” I ask, hating to leave him when he looked so unwell. 

“Yes, he will have a killer headache, he needs to sleep it off and then he’ll be fine,” he assures me and starts to help me out of my clothes. 

When I sink down into the bath Theo turns off the tap and sits on the floor beside me whilst I wet my hair. The bathroom door flies open and an angry–lookding Mason scowls at us. 

“What happened to Axel? And give me the truth this time, he demands. 

“I already told you,” Theo shrugs and picks up the shampoo bottle. 

“And you expect me to believe it gave him a headache like that?” he scoffs. 

“Must be the lack of blood flow to his brain,” Theo smiles. Mason strides forward and grips Theo’s chin, forcing him to look at him.
