Ryder's Pov

"What the hell was that?" I asked Olexei as we entered his room.

"Nothing" he muttered pulling off his jacket and dropping it on the bed.

"That answer isn't going to fucking cut it" I hissed.

"Ryder" he said un a warning tone.

"No. That was anything but, nothing. You cut me off from asking anything about you and his relationship and I agreed. I didn't want to piss you off so, I let it go. Now you two are arguing like scorned lovers. Have you been fucking him O?" I asked trying to understand.

By the time I had made it outside I had only caught the end of Xan and Olexei's conversation. Everyone was crowded around trying to figure out what was going on. I was unable to hear what they were talking about only that O was trying his hardest to get through to the other man. I had never seen him look at anyone that way. It was like he was heartbroken.

"Curve your damn jealousy! I'm fucking sick of it Ryder!" he snapped.

"Who are you talking to?!? How about you give me a reason not to be?!?" I hissed stepping closer to him.

"You should trust me" Olexei replied glaring.

"I do but, your hiding something. I know it" I breathed trying to calm down. We both had explosive tempers and that usually resulted in crazy blowouts. I really didn't want that at this moment but, I was irritated that he wasn't answering my questions.

"Doesn't matter it's over now. We need to focus on the police and the people that are attacking the warehouses. Xan doesn't want me in his life" he muttered rubbing his face.

"Do you love him?" I questioned.

"Ryder-" he started.

"You do" I sighed.

"It isn't the same as what we have. I love you. I'm here with you, always have been" he muttered rolling his eyes.

"Not always" I scoffed.

"And who's fucking fault is that?!? Don't stand there and try to attack me over something that happened years ago. I told you it's over so, let's just move the fuck on!!" Olexei snapped.

"From where I am standing, I'm not the one that can't seem to move on. Your holding onto a relationship with someone, who you just said doesn't want anything to do with you" I said.

"He was there for me when you weren't around. Xan helped pick up the pieces you left when you moved across the country" he explained.

"That wasn't my decision" I responded glaring at him.

"I know but, it was a your choice to have Val tell me instead of being a man and doing it yourself" Olexei spoke and I could tell he was still hurt. As much as he tried to hide it or cover it up, I would always be able to tell.

"I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry" I whispered stepping close to him. I pulled him into my arms and wrapped them around his waist. He was reluctant at first but, finally relaxed.

"I don't wanna talk about him anymore. That is done" he breathed.

"Okay" I agreed. He was the man I loved and as much as it went against every fiber of my being to step down from this argument, I would. To give him a piece of mind, I would let it go.

"I'm never going to choose anyone over you" he said pulling away to look at me. I just nodded before kissing him. He accepted my lips bringing me in closer.

"Fuck" I hissed when he bit my lip and took control.

I could feel how hard he was through his pants and as much as I really wanted to help him take care of it, we had more important things to worry about. So, when he tried to pull my shirt up I stopped him, he didn't like that.

"Ryder" he growled glaring at me.

"We have other business to take care of" I spoke.

"You started it so, let me finish" Olexei hummed reaching for my shirt again.

"O" I warned but, he just continue on like I didn't speak a damn word. Soon my shirt on the floor and he was undoing the button of my pants.

"Take care of this for me baby" he muttered grinding his hips into mine.

"Dammit" I cursed grabbing the back of his neck. My mouth crashed onto his taking full control. Yes there was business to take care but, at the moment nothing seemed more important that fucking the man I loved.

I've had this draft just sitting there and I didn't want to publish it till I decided on where this story was going in terms of the relationships. Someone brought up the idea of a polyamorous relationship and I've been thinking about it. What do you guys think?

I'm always open to writing something, different.
