Rhett had wanted to ask where Greyson was. He started to ask a couple of times while being escorted around by other guards, but common sense won out. It wasnât his business where the wolf was and attracting too much attention was bad for them both. So he kept quiet, occasionally sneaking away to knock at Greysonâs door, hoping he might answer.Â
And then, finally, he caught a hint of Greysonâs scent. So subtle that no one wouldâve noticed unless they were searching for it and Rhett had been, every day. He followed it, encouraged it as it became stronger the closer he got to his office. For a moment, he considered simply bursting in, but time had passed - who knew if Greyson even wanted to keep up with whatever the fuck they were doing.
Stomach in knots, Rhett knocked on the door - he had to know, had to make sure the guard was okay. Once he heard Greysonâs familiar, gruff tone, he quickly slipped into the door and shut it behind him - none of the other guards needed to know he was there. âYouâre backâŠâ he said softly, staying leaned against the door.Â
Rhett. Greyson carefully schooled his expression into something neutral as the hybrid entered his office. The tension in the room spiked at those two soft-spoken words and the guard was up out of his seat and making his way to the other instantly.Â
Heâd thought that heâd tempered whatever this was between them. Fooled himself into thinking that a few weeks and a few thousand kilometres between them would dull the edge of it back into something appropriate. The way his stomach twisted and heart started pounding proved him so very wrong.Â
Maybe Rhett didnât feel the same way he did, maybe the hybrid had âmoved onâ to something else and wasnât interested but Greyson wasnât thinking about that now. Right now, he needed Rhett and thatâs what he was going to get.Â
His hand came out and landed on the hybridâs chest, barely slowing his advancement as he pushed Rhett back harder against the door, crowding him bodily and moving to try and kiss him. There were so many new scents on the man, masters, slaves, maybe staff he hadnât met yet but Greyson focused on the underlying line, the strong, familiar scent of Rhett.Â
