“No, they didn’t.” Rowan laughs, “He walked out of the room when the staff went to clean up this morning, and before him, Audrey left.”
“Where the fuck is she?”
“She’s coming.”
“That woman is trouble,” Maddox groans. “First, she had a threesome with me, and now, she got Aeliana in another threesome,” he gags, “Is that her kink or something?”
“That’s sick,” Rowan seconds.
I was with Audrey for a few years, and while I didn’t care enough to learn her kinks, we did have plenty of threesomes. I didn't think much of it, and I was fine with it because some of the women looked like Aeliana and if I pretended hard enough, a good time was had. “I’m going to kill her,” I grumble, heading out to find her.
“Shit, Kingston!” Rowan sighs, his steps heavy behind me. “Listen, you need to—”
“Audrey!” I snap, pushing open her already open bedroom door. She seems to have just arrived, and she has Aeliana’s purse on her bed.
“Kingston.” She frowns, her eyes flickering between Rowan and me. “What are—” I don’t let her finish, I smack her again. Her head tilts to the side with each hit, both slaps echoing in the room. “Ow, Kingston!” She gasps, staggering backwards.
Rowan pulls me back, keeping a firm hand on my shoulder. “That’s enough, King.”
“What...why are you...” Audrey gasps, her eyes wide with confusion. “Did I do something wrong?”
“What did you do with Aeliana?”
She caresses her cheek, “Aeliana?”
“Don’t play dumb,” I warn. “I know she was with you last night, I know you made her do something.”
She shakes her head, repeatedly smoothing her hand over her cheek to the sting from my slap. “I didn’t make her do anything, she came to find me, she’s the one who—”
“I saw everything, including the man you dragged with you to that room.”
“You mean my date? He was drunk.”
“What the hell did you do with my wife?” I demand, “She told me there was a half-naked man tied up in that room with you.”
Defiance flickers in her gaze, “Nothing.” She gasps. “What the hell would I do? She was the one who...” She pauses, swallowing the rest of her words.
Let's have his mate in this fucked up scenario, and then I’ll take his advice. Aeliana is sick. She took advantage of her with that nonsense.
“I want you to stay the fuck away from my mate.”
“Why?” Her eyes widen, genuinely confused as to why she can’t be near Aeliana again. “I didn’t do anything wrong.”
“You kissed my mate,” I growl, my hand itching to snap her neck. “You watched her undress for you and that date of yours, and you don’t see anything wrong with that?”
She blinks, seemingly lost. “I didn’t make her do anything.”
Rowan catches me before I send her flying into a wall for her mindless words. “Aeliana is sick!” I remind her. “She didn’t know who she was, you let her do something she never would, and all for what?”
“You asked everyone to take care of her, and that's what I did.” She shrugs. “You asked us to give her what she wanted.”
I groan, my hands balling into fists.
She’s a woman, I don’t hit women, she made me break that rule, and she remains stupidly oblivious to the wrong anything she did. She violated my mate. “I swear to God,” I groan.
