Bound by Two

[Chapter 17]

The eyes told the most and what Greyson's eyes told me was that he was ready to murder someone, no care on who witnesses because he will just kill the witness. His jaw was tight that he could break his teeth from how hard he was gritting them. Greyson was dangerous, more than me. When it comes to someone we care about, we will rip this world to shreds with no mercy to protect. 

"Who did it?" He spoke in a dark tone.

"Mateo, the junior class historian."

"Did you kill him?" 

"No and before you go ape shit, I had a reason."

"What fucking reason could you have to not fucking kill him?!" He raised his voice with anger and there was a gun right on the table in his reach.

"It was in a classroom and Maelyn was there. If I whipped out my gun to shoot him or stab him, Maelyn would have saw and there would be blood on the floor. I wouldn't have been able to clean it all up by the time the students left, and Maelyn was my priority. I punched him a few times but when I checked on Maelyn, he got up and ran. I told Maelyn to run to her dorm and tell her friends that she wasn't feeling well. By the time I went outside, I lost him, and I doubt he will show up after break. Trust me Grey, I wanted to snap his neck the second I saw him pull down his pants but then Maelyn would have screamed and then police would be at the school, and everything would have been fucked. I had to play it safe, and I am about to look at camera footage to see where he ran off to and hunt him down." I was breathing fast and took a deep breath. He took a breath and then nodded.

"I can't be mad at you for playing it safe at first. If the cops showed up, it would blow our cover. We wouldn't be able to get out of jail. Maelyn would also be scared of you more and that would add more to her trauma. We will find him and when we do, he won't be able to live to tell anyone." I sighed that he was simmered down a bit. I cracked my neck and knuckles. It was silent and normally I wouldn't be mad, but I was still waiting on a question from Greyson. "Do you like Maelyn?" 

"Yes. I don't know how or why but she became a distraction and all I could think about. I got mad at you but here I am, being a hypocrite. I see why you are obsessed, and I think she might have feelings for me also because when I cuddled her, she mumbled our names. She choked herself and almost passed out until I stopped her. She was hurting and I just wanted to comfort her and tell her that she was okay. That no one was going to harm her. I hate how she has me and she doesn't even know it." I confessed while staring off and leaning on my hand.

"Well, I am glad that you were by her side but now we have to have a conversation with her." I moved my eyes to his. 

"What? You want us to tell her about this?" 

"Yes, Ben. If she wants the both of us, then she can have us. I don't have a problem with it because you are my right-hand man and my best friend. I trust you more than anyone else, but we have to set boundaries with her. We would still have to keep our secret from her."

"Of course. Let's talk boundaries." We had the lamp on along to light up the room and we both had a serious look.

"We respect her wishes, that's obvious and the bare minimum. We can't keep her to oneself meaning you can't keep her for yourself and so on. We have to share her especially if she is going to be our girl." I hummed while nodding, letting him know I agree. "We can take turns with dates or all of us go on date. That will be discussed later. Never argue and we sit and talk it out. We can't dismiss each other's feelings. It's not fair to everyone. I know the both of us are possessive, but we can't let it ruin this. We support her and help her with everything." I listened carefully, taking in every word.

"What about sexual?" I asked.

"That we will discuss with her. If she wants a safe word. If she wants to have sex with both or one on one. We want to make her comfortable and safe. We want her to be happy. I will be happy no matter what happens during sex but as long as she feels pleasure, that's all that matters. We need to know what she likes and doesn't. I am open to anything." He leaned back.
