“You don’t fucking touch him, asshole, so what’syourproblem?” Gage stands up and towers over me, but Jesus, that just puts his wilting dick near my head, and that’s not my bag either.

“I was… fuck’s sake,” I get up, shoving Gage away as soon as I can reach above his waist, because there’s no way he’s fucking looming over me like he’s the boss of me.

“Finish that fucking sentence,” he demands, and I sigh, knowing I’m the asshole for once. Maybe not just for once, but hey, I’m adorable with it.

“He pulled Lucy away from me, that’s all. I was gonna finish her off, and uh… yeah, I got pissed.”

“And that meant you could touch my ass?” Sebastian demands, looking affronted, like his ass isn’t usually being touched by a man.

“Sorry. I was being a bell-end, I know.” I mean, I know it, I just lost my mind in the moment. I catch Lucy’s eye and she smiles sweetly at me. She gets it. She knows I have my possessive moments with her, especially when she’s literally in my fucking arms, and gets dragged away. It’s called manners, right?

“Get dressed, I think we’re done here,” Gage fucking proclaims, and everyone just starts obeying him. Fuck that.

“I’m getting Lucy off first, asshole. She didn’t get hers, but you all did.”

“As did you. Sebastian will get her off.” Prick.

GAGE

What the fuck did he think he was doing? Nobody touches my Pretty Boy but me, well, me and the girls. Mav’s not into guys, and even if he was, I wouldn’t let him near Sebastian. I’ve been worried for a while because this territorial shit is still happening at times, and we should be past that crap now.

I lead everyone out of the bedroom, leaving Sebastian in there to service a nervous looking Lucy. She’s not nervous being leftalone with him, neither of the girls feel that way about Sebastian anymore, but I know she’s worried about Mav.

“Seriously, sending me out like this is just humiliating. I said I made a mistake, but I’m not some child you have to fucking discipline.” And he just keeps making it worse. If he can just shut up and move on, we can all fucking do the same.

“That territorial shit is a problem, man, and you know it. What, nearly two fucking years all together, and you’re still doing this? How do you think this’ll work long term, if you’re still acting like a pussy if anyone touches her?”

Mav curses, tugging at his hair, because I guess it’s that or throw punches, and we all know how that’ll go.

“It was because he pulled her out of my fucking arms, that’s all! I was literally about to go down on her, and he took that from me.”

“Not making it any better, man. What, you want fucking written instructions next time, so we know who’s doing what to who? We all listened to you, and inserted things where you dictated, and yet somehow, you’re still pissed?”

“Because he deviated from the plan,” Stella interjected, holding up drinks for both of us.

“You’re all control freaks, and you know it. If it’d been you about to do something, and one of the others whipped away your toy, you’d be just as pissed. Can we please move on now? As much as your little spat is keeping me distracted, I can still remember I’m on an airplane and I don’t want to be.” Jesus. Yeah, we’re supposed to be distracting Stella, and that’s what all the fucking was for. Oh who am I kidding, we fuck when we want to, regardless of if we have a ‘reason’ or not.

“Mav, you should go get cleaned up, since you were sticking it you know where.” Ha! Stella is never likely to forget where someone’s cock has been, if there’s any risk of it going near her or Lucy. I guess we should be grateful she’s so focused, becauseI forgot that the instant Mav’s hand touched Sebastian’s ass. Jesus. No, I’m still focused on that.

“His ass is off limits to you,” I remind Mav unnecessarily, and he snorts.

“Yeah, andI’mthe possessive one. You’re obsessed with Pretty Boy, he’s obsessed with Stella, and I’m kinda ‘attached’ to Lucy. It works because we all have our obsessions, but sometimes maybe we get a little overly possessive, and that’s mostly you, you hypocritical asshole.”

Stella throws her hands in the air and storms off, and we watch her for a moment.

“Maybe we should let it go and listen to her,” Mav suggests, and I sigh heavily as I walk after her.

“Gee, ya think?”

STELLA

The last thing I wanted to deal with today was three jealous assholes, but here we are. I removed myself from the situation because if they thought they were helping, they definitely were not. Luckily this shit doesn’t happen frequently, because I’m not sure I could handle it. After I storm off and get dressed, Gage comes over to me with his tail between his legs. That’s the funny thing about him, he hasn’t really changed, and he’s still an unhinged psycho, but he does seem to be learning when he has fucked up. That’s progress, right?

“Are you okay?” he asks while I roll my eyes.

Throwing my hands up in the air, I let him know that I am far from okay. “Could you not act normal for one day?”

He gazes at me with a confused expression. “What? What do you meanact normal?Iamnormal.”
