Red Hot Love: The Morningstar Series: Book 5
Red Hot Love – Chapter 25

Wow…

She kissed me.

She really kissed me

It was a simple quick k**s, but it happened. My lips are still tingling. For the first time I got kissed by both of them.

I thought about what had just happened. Being around Olive is hot, and cold constantly. We went from getting heated in the elevator, to cooling off in room, to getting heated again.

Then things took a complete different turn. I still can’t believe Olive threatened to reject me. Though, I can’t believe that she admitted she wouldn’t more. Still, that gave me hope.

No matter how hard Olive is pushing me away, she still wants me. If she didn’t then she would have rejected me. Some part of her wants me. Something is holding Olive back though, and that confuses me.

It’s the 21st century, why is she making such a big deal out of this relationship? Did something happen? No, Ozzy would have told me, right?

Unless, he doesn’t know.

I need a women’s advice. So, I pulled my phone out, and scrolled through my contacts. Should I call Melia? She might be busy with her mate. Bexley’s a girl right? I mean, of course she is but.. she’s.. not normal.

Just then my phone started ringing, nearly giving me a heart attack. Holy s**t, it’s a facetime from Bexley. I swiped to answer.

“Are you psychic now?” I asked when I picked up.

Bexley’s face appeared on my screen.

“My ears were ringing, and I thought to myself, who could possibly be thinking of me right now. And you came to mind.” She told me with a shrug.

“That so?” I asked amused.

“No, not really. I just got out of school, and wanted to see how things are going with you.” She told me.

I squinted at her. “Are you in my bedroom?” I asked.

“Maaayyybbbeee.” She drawled out.

Bexley got up, and propped her phone on my bedside table. I rolled my eyes at her. Then another dark haired girl popped up next to her.

Nix.

“Hey Azai, how’s it going? You get marked yet?” She asked.

I shook my head at the two of them.

“Why are you two in my bedroom?” I asked.

“Is that Azai?” Someone asked, before another blonde head popped up right in front of the screen. “It is you! Hey buddy.” Vessa said.

“Are you high?” I asked when I saw her red eyes.

Vessa giggled. “Nooooo.”

I rolled my eyes.

My bedroom door burst open, and in walked my little sister. Kee pushed through the girls to get to the screen. Her eyes are glowing as usual, and she looks… happier?

I propped my own phone up. Looks like it’ll be a long call.

“Hey Azai. How’s it going? You jump into bed with your mates yet?” She asked.

“Of course he has. He’s Azai.” Vessa stated.

“Yeah, but he’s so sensitive when it comes to his mates.” Bex said.

“Yeah, I think he should make them wait for a while just for what they did to him.” Nix said.

“I agree.” Bex said before getting as close to the screen as she could. “Torture them. Make then suffer.”

She was yanked back with a loud ‘ow’.

Kee rolled her eyes as she set the phone back up so that I can see all of them. I gave them all a blank look.

“Why are you guys in my room?” I asked for the millionth time.

Kee shrugged. “They were in here, I joined when I heard your voice.” She told me.

“I was in here hiding from Atreus.” Vessa said proudly.

Kee rolled her eyes ar her best friend.

“We were going through your stuff.” Nix admitted in a bored tone.

“What?” I asked as my eyes went wide. “Don’t go through my stuff!”

“Hey Azai, what’s this?” Bex held up a string of my anal beads.

I gave her a bored look. “Those are anal beads Bex.”

Bexley’s face morphed into one of pure horror. She made a disgusted noise before throwing the beads at Nix. Who made the same noise before throwing them at Vessa. Vessa just held them up, and giggled.

“This one is so big.” She said as she held up the biggest one.

“It’s supposed to help stretch the a*s out- ya know what, I don’t even know why I’m explaining this to you. Put my s**t away. Stay out of my room you hooligans.” I said.

Bex and Nix looked at each other, and then burst out in laughter.

“Hooligans.” They said at the same time.

“They’re all high.” Kee told me.

I shook my head. “I was actually going to call one of you.. for some advice..” I admitted.

“Oh?” Vessa perked right up. “Well, we are the best advice givers.” She stated.

Everyone turned to give her a ‘really b***h’ look. Not that Vessa noticed, or cared. She was raised in a damn lab. The girl barely knows how to act normal. Best at giving advice my a*s.

“Listen, Olive is still pushing me away. Something about being with the both of us is bothering her, but.. I don’t know. It just seems off. Do you think maybe something happened to her since she met me? Something she’s been keeping from Ozzy too?” I asked them.

“That’s kind of a loaded question to ask considering we don’t know anything about her.” Nix said.

“Yeah, I agree. It’s hard to tell. She could just be really weirded out by being with two guys.” Kee agreed.

“Let me talk to her. I’ll tell her how fun it would be if she just gave in.” Vessa said.

I gave her an incredulous look.

“Uh, no, you freaking psycho.” I said.

“Well, I for one, think that she should suffer with her little issues.” Bex said.

“Bexley.” Nix scolded her.

“What? We’re all thinking it, right Kee?” Bex said, and then looked at me. “We watched all the heart break you went through because of them. I could care less what she went through. Does Olive even care about what she put you through?” She asked.

I shook my head, and opened my mouth.

“Sorry, I forgot my notebook…”

I turned around to see Olive walk into my room. She looked at me, and then my phone. A frown settled on her face.

“Hey.” I breathed out.

“Is that her?” Vessa asked. “Let me talk to her. I’ll set her straight.”

Oh no.

“Vessa, shut up.” Kee gritted out.

Olive’s frown deepened. Double oh no. She looks pissed.

Olive stepped around me, and looked at the four girls on the screen. Her face scrunched up, and she looked up at me. Why does she look so mad?

“Who the hell are they?” She asked me.

Well, it sounded more like an accusation if I’m going to be honest.

“Uhm..” I trailed off.

Is she jealous?

“We’re the people that actually care about Azai.” Bex said.

“Bexley.” Nix scolded her again.

Olive and I turned to the screen in time to see Bex shrug.

“What? I’m just being honest.” She said.

Olive looked back up at me. Her eyes are a fierce red, making her look so sexy. If only it weren’t for the anger behind those eyes.

“Who the hell are they Azai?” Olive asked again.

“Listen Olive,” Vessa started, “being with two guys is fun girl. You need to relax, and just let them take you. Just think of all the fun things you could do together. Tell her Azai.” She said.

I gave her another incredulous look.

“Read the room Vessa.” Nix told her.

“Are these the girls that you’ve been sleeping with behind our backs?” Olive asked.

My eyebrows shot up, and I’m sure that the girls’ did too.

“I’m gonna be sick.” Kee mumbled.

Olive is still staring at me waiting for an answer.

“I wasn’t with-“

“Yes we are. All of us. How bout that?” Bex said

My jaw dropped as I looked back at the phone. All eyes are on Bexley. She sat on my bed with her arms crossed, and a smug look on her face.

“That’s… gross..” Nix mumbled.

“Bexley, stop it.” Kee said.

“I’d f**k him.” Vessa said.

I g*****d, and looked back at Olive. She looks even more pissed off than before. Her whole body is starting to shake.

“Olive listen, I haven’t been with anyone since I met you and Ozzy. I swear.” I said carefully.

“That’s not what they just said.” She shouted pointing a finger to my phone.

“Uh, Bexley said that, not us.” Nix chimed in.

“Will you all just shut the f**k up.” I said to them, before turning back to Olive. “Bexley is just full of s**t. She only said it to piss you off. She’s waiting for her mate, the girl has never even been kissed.” I said.

“Hey.” Bexley grumbled.

“And if she wasn’t? Would you have been with her?” Olive asked.

“What? Of course not. She’s my little sisters best friend, and one of my closest friends.” I said.

“You lost your virginity to Melia, who is actually your best friend.” Vessa said.

I ran a hand down my face, and looked at the phone.

“Shut. Up.”

“Why should she?” Olive asked. “She’s just telling me the truth.” She said.

“I know. I mean. I just. Look, I did lose my virginity to my best friend, and then we never slept together again. Yes, I was a bit of a whore-“

“A bit?” Vessa asked with a laugh.

I rolled my eyes. “Okay, I was a big w***e alright?” I threw my hands up. “I slept around with whoever I wanted. Until I met you and Ozzy. I haven’t touched anyone since then.” I told Olive truthfully.

“And boy did people try.” Vessa said.

“Yeah Ben and Hope were pretty desperate, but what else is new when it comes to them and Azai.” Nix chimed in.

“Well, I wish that he woulda cheated on you two ungreat asshats.” Bexley said.

Olive turned her eyes to my phone. I grabbed her face with my hands, and brought her eyes back to mine. Her’s are still glowing red.

“I swear to you, that I was never with anyone else. You and Ozzy are all I think about all the time. I never even wanted anyone else.” I told her.

“I felt the pain.” Olive said.

I shook my head. “That wasn’t betrayal pains.” I said.

“Then what was it?” She asked.

“Ozzy didn’t tell you?” I asked her.

“No?” She replied.

“Wait, they felt pains?” Kee asked.

I turned my head to look at my sister.

“Yeah, from Bexley kicking my a*s every day after school along with the rest of the BOC trainees.” I said.

Olive huffed, and rolled her eyes. She doesn’t believe me. Great. I’d doubt she would believe the girls either.

All the sudden, all four girls on my phone screen burst out in laughter.

“Did.. Did you guys hear that?” Vessa asked between laughs.

“They.. They think…” Kee managed to get out before falling backwards.

“Goddess, that is too funny.” Nix said.

“I’m so happy I caused your mates unintentional pain.” Bexley said as she wiped her eyes.

I rolled my eyes. “You guys are real f*****g assholes, ya know that? Get out of my bedroom.”

“Why? Afraid we’re gonna show your mate your anal beads?” Vessa said as she held up the beads.

My face heated.

“She would see them eventually Vess.” Nix commented.

“Wait… These are for girls too?” Bex asked.

“This is extremely uncomfortable for me you guys.” Kee said.

I looked at Olive as they girls continued to bicker. The glow in her eyes settled down, but is still there. She looks to be thinking.

Is she considering that I’ve been telling the truth? Gods, I hope so.

“Hey Olive.” Kee called. Olive turned her head to my phone. “I’m Akeehla, but you can call me Kee. I’m one of Azai’s sisters. This is my best friend, and adopted sister, Vessa.” She said as she wrapped an arm around her friend. “These are our very dear friends Phoenix and Bexley. They’re a pain in the a*s, but it’s just because they care.” She introduced them.

Olive’s eyes went wide.

“You’re… his sister?” She asked.

Kee nodded. “You see why I was disgusted to hear your accusation?”

Olive nodded.

“I’m hanging up. You guys are all f*****g nuts.” I said as I grabbed my phone. “By the way, I found out something very interesting about my twin a few months back. Maybe you guys should go see what Ares hides in his closet.” I said.

“YES! Another thing to tease Ares about!” Bexley said.

Kee chuckled. “See you later brother. Oh, and Olive,” I looked at my mate. “Take care of my brother kay?”

Then she hung up.

My hands are still cupping Olive’s face. She turned her head back to me, but her eyes fell to the ground. I saw her suck in her bottom l*p, and chew on it.

What is she thinking?

“Uhm, so, you really… didn’t sleep with anyone else?” Olive asked me after a moment.

I shook my head. “No, I would never cheat on you two. You’re my mates. I would never cause you intentional pain.” I told her.

“You can’t call it cheating, we were never together.” Olive said as she finally looked up at me.

All of the red is gone from her deep brown eyes. I smiled down at her. She hasn’t made me move my hands yet, and I don’t plan to until she says to. It feels too good to touch her. Does she feel it too?

“It’s still cheating to me.” I said.

“Because you live in some delusion that we have all been dating this whole time.” She accused.

I chuckled. “No, I knew that the two of you didn’t want me.” I said. Olive’s face softened. “That never stopped me from wanting you though.” I told her.

Olive chewed on her bottom l*p again. She looks like she’s debating on saying something to me. I just waited patiently as I started to run my thumbs along her cheeks.

“Even after everything we did to you?” She asked seriously.

I chuckled again.

“Didn’t we just do this?” I asked, and Olive shrugged.

“Look Olive, I want you. You and Ozzy. I want you both, all the time, always and forever. You are all I think about, all that consumes me. Yes, it is the mate bond, but.. I think if you gave me a chance it could be more. I know that I fall in love with Ozzy more, and more every day. I just want a chance to prove to you that I could be worth it.” I told her.

Olive was silent for a moment. I wasn’t sure she was going to reply at all. Her hands came up to rest on my wrists, and I pouted. I thought she was going to remove my hands, but then she leaned into one of my palms.

“Okay, I’ll give you a chance. But that does not mean we are going to be sleeping together any time soon.” She told me.

I nodded frantically. “Of course.”

“And you’re going to be honest with me all the time.” She added.

“Yes, I will never lie to you.” I agreed.

“And I can ask you whatever I want, whenever I want.” She said.

I nodded again. “Okay.”

“Good.” Olive stated. “So, who are Ben and Hope?” She asked.

s**t.

f*****g Phoenix bringing them up. Goddamnit. I was hoping that Olive would just skate over that part. It was stupid to think I would be that lucky.

“Truthfully?” I asked, and she nodded.

I sighed.

“Before I met you and Ozzy, I was a w***e. I slept around yeah, but I never lied to anyone. I made sure all of my partners knew that it was just about s*x. I would never fall in love with them, we would never date, it would never be more than s*x. Most of the people I slept with were casual flings, or one night stands, but there were a few that were more like friends with benefits.”

“Like your best friend?” Olive asked interrupting me.

Olive’s eyes took on a red hue again. I chuckled at her. She’s jealous.

“No.” I said. “Melia wanted to lose her virginity to someone she trusted, and I agreed. We never slept together again. Besides, we had a three sum literally right after th-“

Olive’s eyes are beginning to glow brighter, and she’s looked angrier.

“Ya know what, nevermind.” I cleared my throat.

“Anyways, Ben and Hope were two of my friends that I would sleep with here, and there. They… Well, they fell for me hard.” I looked down.

“It was a messy situation. They became obsessed with me. I have felt awful about it every day since.” I looked back up into Olive’s eyes.

“But I just couldn’t give them what they wanted from me. I didn’t have feelings for them like that, or anybody else. My heart has always belonged to you and Ozzy. No one else.” I told her.

“And they tried to sleep with you after you met us?” Olive asked sounding pissed off.

I laughed. “That’s what your focused on?” I teased, and Olive blushed.

“Listen baby,” I moved one of my hands to grip Olives chin, and bring her closer to me. “They, along with a few others, did try to f**k me after I met you. I told all of them to f**k off. Is that what you want to hear?” I asked.

Olive frowned. “So, you went from being a w***e, to nothing at all? Sounds unbelievable to me.” She argued.

I laughed lowly.

“I never said I went to nothing at all.” I said, and Olive’s eyes went wide. “I just said I was never with anyone else. I also told you that you and Ozzy were all I thought about. And I though a lot about the two of you.”

I leaned in even closer to her.

“Want to know what I would do when I thought about the two of you together?” I whispered.

Olive whimpered making me smirk.

I leaned in so close that our lips are nearly brushing. Olive’s entire body shook. She closed her eyes, and my smirk deepened.

Then I pulled back, letting her go completely.

“If you really want to know, I’ll tell you tomorrow after school. If you come, and hang out with me and Ozzy.” I told her.

Olive frowned and crossed her arms.

“Figures the Devils grandson would force me into a deal.” She muttered.

I laughed. “Forced you huh?” I teased.

Olive blushed.

I held my hand out to her. “Come on, I’ll walk you home.”
