“No,” Rayne said, the word barely above a whisper.
Oh, boy.
“I beg your pardon?” Roux said sharply.
“I said no,” he repeated. “I won’t let you make a deal that could end up with you doing something you’ll regret later.”
Roux stood slowly and started to walk towards my twin, her power moving through the air and making my cock hard. “I don’t need your permission. If you don’t like it, Rayne, you don’t have to come.”
My twin swallowed, his heart racing and his cock pressing against the zipper of his jeans. Ever since we’d taken that vampire into our home, Rayne had started to show some moments of submission. He’d never done it before, but I could feel him itching to fall to his knees for Roux. If only this wasn’t forbidden and against the law. If only it wasn’t punishable by a severance of our bond, I’d pull her into my lap and sink my cock deep into her wet heat. But I couldn’t do that. I couldn’t risk what we had in case we lost everything.
“I’m in charge, Rayne, not you, and if I want to offer a favour, then I will. And there’s nothing you can do about it. Understand?”
Rayne’s hands curled into fists as he nodded. “Yes.”
“Good,” she said simply before reaching for her tablet off her desk. She fired off a message and I took a minute to try and calm my brother. I wrapped my hand around his fist and coaxed his fingers to relax. He closed his eyes and intertwined his fingers with mine, taking a deep breath.
“This gets harder every day,” he said under his breath.
I rubbed my thumb along the back of his hand, the touch as calming for me as it was for him. “I know.”
His eyes met mine, the bright blue the same as my own, and I was floored by how much pain and sadness andwantI saw in their depths. But we couldn’t have her. We could love her from a distance, but we could never love her in the open. It sucked balls.
Major fucking balls.
“It worked,” Roux said in disbelief. “Here. Look at this.”
She thrust the tablet into my hand and there was indeed an email from the Fates.
Dear Roux,
Thank you for you very generous offer. We find ourselves intrigued and we will make ourselves available to you this evening.
Enter through the VIP access, enjoy yourself for a while and we will find you when we are ready.

P.S. the theme tonight is diamonds. Tell your pups to wear something sexy.
“Wear something sexy?” I growled. “Why the fuck would they want that?”
Roux’s eyes went wide. “Because you’re ridiculously good looking. Come on, you have to.”
Rayne huffed and I had to agree. I wasn’t a piece of meat to be paraded for someone else’s viewing pleasure.
“Please? For me?” she pleaded, clutching her hands beneath her chin as if she were praying.
I looked at my twin who rolled his eyes. He could never refuse her.
“Fine,” I grumbled. “But I don’t like it.”
Roux squealed in delight and threw herself at us, wrapping her arms around our necks and sighing. “I know. But thank you. It means a lot that you’re helping me.”
I didn’t know how long we sat there like that, but all too soon it was time to go and get ready.
