“What are you doing?” Jared demanded.
By now her eyes were watering and panic was starting to set in. Yes, she knew it sounded ridiculous, but it felt like her mouth was burning. Her taste buds were being fried right off her tongue.
Turning to Jared, she pointed at her cheek. Understanding filled his face and he quickly placed his hand under her mouth. “Spit.”
She shook her head frantically.
“Spit,” he commanded.
Oh no, no, no.
Couldn’t she just go to the bathroom and spit it out or something?
A stern look filled Jared’s face and he leaned in. “Spit. Now.”
“Do as he says,” North added. “Open your mouth. Spit.”
Darn. If she could speak she’d make a joke right then. Instead, she leaned over and spat the candy into Jared’s mouth.
She wrinkled her nose. “Gross.”
“Kitchen,” Jared ordered, grabbing hold of her hand with his good one and leading her to the large kitchen where he quickly got rid of the slobbery mess.
More disgusting than whale snot.
“North, a glass of milk, please,” he said as he washed his hands.
Huh. She couldn’t imagine Jared as the milk drinking type.
Turns out, he wasn’t.
North handed her the glass of milk and she stared down at it in surprise. What was she meant to do with this?
“Drink it.” Jared grasped hold of the glass and held it to her lips. “Open.”
She parted her lips, feeling almost mesmerized by him.
“Now swallow.”
The milk slid into her mouth and she swallowed hastily.
“Aren’t you being such a good girl,” he murmured.
A shiver ran through her.
“I think she likes hearing that,” North said. “Even though she was naughty to begin with.”
Jared took the glass away from her mouth and she turned to look at North in surprise.
“Jared said to stop eating and you kept going. Why did you stuff all of that sour candy in your mouth? Was it because I suggested that you might like being between the two of us?”
Yes! It was exactly that.
“Remember, I took you for Jared.”
She narrowed her gaze at him. “Just because you kidnapped me for him, doesn’t mean that he now owns me.”
Angie swore that a look of challenge filled North’s face as he stepped toward her. “You don’t think that Jared could own you if he wanted to?”
Jared cleared his throat. “I prefer that the people I own are with me willingly.”
Right . . . but . . . hmm. There was a lot to unpack in that statement. While it seemed that Jared was being rational and was agreeing with her . . . he still sounded a bit deranged.
Because who would willingly want to be owned?
Jared brushed her hair off her face. “Of course if you agreed to be mine, then it’s for life. I wouldn’t let you go. I would keep you, own you, possess you.”
She sucked in a breath, staring up into his intense hazel-colored eyes.
She couldn’t belong to Jared . . . she wanted a life of her own.
And then there was his . . . his . . . what was North?
But she was reading too much into what they were saying. All he’d suggested was that he help her with her Little. And this was just for one night.
“You really wouldn’t be jealous?” she asked North. “If Jared, um, Daddied me.”
Was that a word?
“Why would I be? I know how Jared feels about me.”
“North is mine. He will always be mine.”
“I’m not a Daddy Dom,” North said. “But under the right circumstances, I could be a Top.”
Why was he staring at her so intently as he said that? Her breath caught in her lungs.
“Are you thinking about replacing me?” Jared asked lightly.
“No,” North said. “Never.”
“So we’d share you?” she asked Jared.
“Share me?” Jared stared down in amusement. “No, baby, that’s not the way this would work. We would share you.”
Holy moly.
When North said between them, he’d really meant between them?
She glanced at North.
“I didn’t think you would . . . that you would want that. I didn’t even know that you liked women.”
North tilted his head to the side. “I don’t like women or men. I am only attracted to Jared.”
Oh. Right.
So she’d misunderstood? That was embarrassing.
“But there is something about you . . . something that I want,” North said.
“And do you always get what you want?” she asked.
“No. Not always. Jared said that we have to let you go if that’s what you truly desire. If I got my way, I would just keep you.”
Did he mean forever?
Oh, she was so confused.
Her heart was racing. “This took a very intense turn.”
“You don’t have to do anything that you don’t wish to do,” Jared told her, cupping the side of her face. “But you also shouldn’t deny yourself something if you really want it. Give yourself to us for one night and if you still want to leave tomorrow, we will let you go.”
