Chapter 251: Followership

"I can't believe you just attacked without orders! Do you know how embarrassing that was for me?" Cassie paced in frustration on the other side of the library table from Rain and Ozzy.

Rain knew it was probably the most private place in House Eros' manor she could think of that could host all three of them.

Well... all three of them and Malzkael, who was reading a book in the corner of the room when they arrived. Her dark hair was up in twin-tails today, tied off by skull-decorated ribbons in streaks of white that rested on her shoulders. Rain couldn't see her, but he almost felt he could sense whenever she paused in her page-turning to watch.

Had Cassie invited Malz because the three of them were in a relationship? No matter how platonic and professional Rain wanted to keep things, sex was sex, and it seemed to mean more to him than to Cassie... but almost the same as Malz.
