She’d always thought she’d wanted ordinary. But now that she was here with the two of them . . . that seemed like the furthest thing from what she desired.
“Do you only want Jared?” North’s words had her whipping toward him. His tone suggested he couldn’t care less about her answer either way.
However, she had a feeling that that wasn’t the case.
Maybe she should try to deny her attraction to North, but she couldn’t hurt North like that.
“I don’t only want Jared,” she told him. “How could I?”
“Maybe because I kidnapped you and held you prisoner,” North suggested. “I am likely the cause of your nightmares and sleepless nights.”
“No, Fergus is the cause of those,” she said. “And before you argue that what you did was similar, it really wasn’t. I’m not saying it was right, because it wasn’t. But you never hurt me physically. In fact, you tried your best to ensure I wasn’t harmed.”
North just gave a small nod of acknowledgment. Which she knew was likely all she would get.
“I don’t know if this is a smart idea.”
There was no reason why she should want them. One had kidnapped her and showed no sign that she was anything other than a nuisance.
While the other could be cold one moment and kind the next and she wasn’t sure who she was going to get.
But when was she ever going to get another opportunity like this?
“Or it could be the smartest idea you’ve ever had,” Jared told her huskily. “Let us take care of everything for one night. Your punishment and pleasure. Let us make the decisions and you can just be. You don’t have to worry, you don’t have to second guess everything. And if you want to leave tomorrow, we’ll make it happen.”
Jared drew her in close while North moved in behind her. North was actually touching her. And he wasn’t doing it while behind one of his masks. He wasn’t pretending to be normal or sane.
He was showing her all of him. And she thought he was the most beautiful thing she’d ever seen.
North’s hand landed lightly on her stomach.
“If we . . . if we do this . . . that doesn’t mean I’m staying,” she said breathlessly. “It doesn’t mean anything.”
Jared nodded slowly while tilting her head back with his finger under her chin. “Right. It means that you want one night of pleasure with the two of us.”
“But if you become addicted to that pleasure, that’s not our fault,” North told her.
Jared smirked. “Indeed. You’ll just have to live with the aftereffects of being with us.”
Yeah, that was kind of what she was worried about. Because being with the two of them would change her. She could feel it. And how would anyone or anything ever measure up after?
What if she freaked out like she had earlier in the library? How embarrassing would that be?
She’d humiliate herself.
Then there was her problem with orgasming.
But what if you have the best night of your life? With two men you find extremely sexy. How many other men have turned you on like this?
None.
Exactly zero.
How could she ever live with herself if she didn’t try? If she didn’t experience the two of them?
Angie knew she’d always have regrets.
They weren’t ordinary.
They weren’t a forever thing.
But right now, right here, she could have her greatest desire. She could have two men who would change her forever.
“I want to do it. It’s a yes.”

Jared kept the surprise off his face.
Just.
A large part of him had been certain that she’d say no. That she’d walk away. And he wouldn’t have blamed her.
Even if he wasn’t a guy who really liked the word “no.”
“You’re sure?” Jared asked. “Last chance to say no.”
Her eyes widened with alarm. “I can’t say no? I have to agree to everything?”
“No, you don’t have to agree to everything.” He lifted her onto the counter. “But when you are in our bed, for that time, you are ours. We won’t go beyond your limits or hurt you. However, we may push you. We will fuck you. We will bring you pleasure. And we might punish you if you’re naughty.”
“Which seems to be a given,” North said dryly.
“Hey, it is not. I’m actually a good girl.”
Jared shook his head. She was delusional. He pressed himself between her legs. “What things can we absolutely not do, sweetheart?”
He watched as her eyes widened, her pulse increasing. “Not do?”
“What are your limits?” North asked. “It’s best if you are specific and tell us everything. I need to know the boundaries or I might hurt you.”
Jared wouldn’t let that happen and North knew it.
But maybe he was using it as a way to get her to talk. They needed to know what she wasn’t comfortable with.
“I . . . I don’t know. I’ve never . . .” Her cheeks grew a deep red.
