Jared moved faster. “Things are ramping up with the search for Beltran. You need to keep safe.”
You need to let me keep you safe.
The words were unspoken but heard between them.
“Beltran is in a different country.”
“You know that’s no barrier to him getting what he wants.”
“He doesn’t know about our relationship. No one does.”
“Not true. I’m certain that Tabby knows.” Not that he was worried about his cousin sharing his secrets. She was the only other person he cared about other than this man. And he hadthings in place should shit fire up. “That means others might too.”
Yeah.
“And he might target you because of that. Fuck, that feels good.”
“I need to come.”
Slap! Slap!
He smacked the side of North’s thigh. “You don’t get to come.”
“You fucking bastard,” North told him in a flat voice.
“That’s me. Do you need me to rub your dick?”
“What? No, I do fucking not,” North told him.
“Promise me that you’re being careful.”
“Jared,” North warned.
Jared knew he was close to the edge of what North would tolerate from him.
“I know. I get it. But I cannot lose you and you know why.”
If he did, Jared might lose what part of his sanity he had left.
Definitely any of his humanity.
Losing his people had changed him. Warped him. It had left him cold and unfeeling.
Except when it came to him. North.
Or when it came to his cousin, Tabby.
Or her.
No. He wasn’t thinking about her. Angie wouldn’t be a part of his life. She was exactly the sort of entanglement that he was trying to avoid.
“Nothing is going to happen to me,” North told him. “Stop fucking worrying.”
He couldn’t help it.
Especially when North was hiding things from him.
Jared decided to let it drop before he drove North away from him and instead he concentrated of fucking him with hard, faststrokes until his balls tightened and he fell over the edge with a cry.
