Jethro had said it casually-almost playfully-but he had repeated it more than once, even in their texts, that they weren't allowed to do anything without him.
And now he had just found them right on the edge of losing themselves completely.
Grey was panicking. And he could feel Masha panic too. It hit them both at the same time, like they had just been caught by an outsider who would spread everything.
They hadn't even realized how things had escalated so quickly. The last clear moment either of them remembered was assuring each other that they mattered. That neither was less.
It had only been a peck. Just a simple kiss.
But somehow that single kiss had dragged them under like a strong current, pulling them deeper into each other.
Lord Jethro turned around and walked away-closing the door behind him without a word..
that was when they knew that they were in trouble.
