Not without telling Jared everything.
Which would be signing his own his death warrant. Although being killed by Jared wasn’t the worst way to go.
However, then he wouldn’t be around to protect him.
And North could also be selfish. He wanted as much time with Jared as possible.
Jared let his neck go and he gulped in a few deep breaths while trying to pretend he was unaffected.
“Have you changed your mind about convincing her to stay?” North asked.
Didn’t Jared know that he it was rude to return a gift?
“I should. But I am inherently possessive and selfish, as you well know.”
Possessive, yes.
Selfish, he wasn’t sure he’d agree.
“My plan might fail. But even if she still decides to go, I want one night when I get to pretend that she’s mine. Ours.” Jared’s other hand was gentle as he brushed his finger down North’s cheek. In complete juxtaposition to the firmness of his hand around North’s neck. Which tightened again.
North’s cock was so hard and throbbing that he really thought he was doing himself some damage.
Jared still hadn’t let him come.
And North was being good. Because he knew he deserved the punishment. And he kind of liked it as well.
“You’ll help, won’t you, North?” he murmured. “You’re going to stay right here and be a good boy for me.”
Fuck. He would stay.
Because he wanted this too.
“Oh um, sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.”
North glanced over to find Angie standing in the doorway. She was dressed in a pair of white pajamas with red stripes and hearts on them. And the buttons were also little red hearts.
They were ones that he’d bought for her. He had no idea why he’d bought something so . . . cute. But when he’d seen them online, he’d known that she would like them.
Perhaps he needed an MRI. Maybe there was something growing in his brain. Something that gave him these weird feelings.
“You aren’t interrupting anything,” Jared said, slowly letting go of him. He didn’t rush away immediately. Instead, his gaze watched North carefully.
Gauging. Evaluating.
“Um, it sure seems like I am. I don’t want you guys to stop. I mean, I’ll obviously leave, unless you don’t want me to leave, I’m perfectly happy with watching. Oh my God, I can’t believe I just said that I was happy to watch the two of you do . . . whatever it was that the two of you were about to do.” She covered up her cheeks with her hands and started to back out of the doorway.
Oh no, she didn’t.
“Angie, get in here. Now,” he ordered.
Angie frozeat North’s words.
Um, she’d expect an order like that from Jared, but not North. Did he really want her to come into the room or was he just saying that?
Fuck.
She hated feeling like this. She’d always felt unwanted. Like a third wheel.
