As far as North was concerned, it was over too soon. Jared drove himself deep and came down North’s throat, staring at him hungrily.
“That’s it. Take all of me. Don’t miss any or you’ll be in trouble.”
North shuddered. Sometimes he’d let some of his come drip free of his mouth just to get in trouble.
But he figured he’d been in enough trouble tonight.
Not that it wasn’t fun.
Because it definitely was.
Later that night,North walked through the hallway to his bedroom, stopping outside Jared’s room. Peering in, he saw that he wasn’t there.
Frowning slightly, he walked through Jared’s bedroom, glancing out the open doors to where the other man sat with a glass in his hand, studying the Seattle skyline.
There was something in his other hand.
Something that made North stiffen.
That fucking whale.
Herwhale.
The stuffed toy that Jared kept in the back of his closet. The one that he didn’t know that North knew about.
If anyone else had crept in here, North knew that Jared would have sensed them. But North was exceptionally quiet on his feet. He excelled at becoming a shadow.
A whisper.
But he came close to giving himself away as his temper stirred. Followed quickly by worry.
Why did he keep thinking about her?
Was he not happy?
Fuck. North knew if he said something that Jared would put the whale away and never bring it back out. But removing the toy wouldn’t erase her from the other man’s mind.
Why was he still thinking about her? It wasn’t like he knew her that well. She wasn’t a great beauty. She wasn’t super sexy or charming.
So what was it about her?
And how could he get Jared’s mind off her?
Or maybe he was thinking about this all wrong.
North knew he couldn’t give Jared everything. There were parts of him that were dead inside. He had no ability to love. No desire to hug or cuddle. He couldn’t sleep with Jared.
If someone touched him in his sleep . . . well, he couldn’t guarantee that they’d survive.
And he wasn’t a Little.
Jared was a Dom. He needed control. He liked the power. He enjoyed obedience but also to be pushed.
However, he was a Daddy too.
And there was no way anyone could ever think North was a Little.
Did Jared need someone that he could Daddy?
