Chapter 19

The elevators whooshed open, and all three of its passengers filed out with Jared leading the way. Heading for his, Drew, and Randy’s room, Jared attempted to reign in the hedonistic beast clawing at his insides, but even the emotional turmoil barely kept the creature at bay.

“You don’t think he will come back here, do you? I could go to my, um, room if you want. Well, at least until he cools off a bit.”

Shannon sounded so small behind him, making him want to throw something. Between her hesitant, nearly inaudible voice and her half-hopeful, half-dejected words, Jared felt compelled to hunt down Drew and tear off several strips of his hide. Two things stopped him from doing just that—Shannon and Drew.

Shannon needed him with her more than he needed to work out his frustration and aggression on the root of everyone’s problem. She came first, even before the blood thirst driving him to the edge of madness.

Drew also saved himself, because Jared understood his brother. He could feel what he was going through. His brother fought a losing battle. They all knew it, but he refused to give those last few inches. Years of abuse made him different than Jared and Randy.

Drew and Shannon were far more alike than either would admit. They were proud, passionate, and loyal to a fault. But they were also stubborn, temperamental, and vengeful. No wonder they had turned so volatile lately. Their emotions ran all over the place, which made each of them prime targets for the other. Jared believed it was a bloody miracle these two hadn’t pushed each other further before now.

Using the key, Jared unlocked the door. “No. He won’t be back for a while.” His unspoken words, “if at all,” hung in the air between them. He twisted the knob and pushed open the door for her. Standing to the side, he allowed her to go in first.

She brushed past him, the clean smell of her favorite perfume trailing behind her and permeating the air. “Why didn’t you tell Drew?” She finally addressed the elephant hanging out with them since he made his bold declaration.

Jared had been waiting for it, giving her the time to gather her thoughts. She deserved a chance to get her legs back underneath her after they had blindsided her.

Randy quietly closed the door. “We don’t hide things from our brother, but this is something we couldn’t tell him because he won’t want to hear it from us. He’ll want to hear it from you.”

“Oh.” Shannon adorably flopped face first onto the king-size bed. It wasn’t smooth or graceful, elegant or refined, but it was the real, honest-to-goodness Shannon.

He would have never believed that even the smallest detail made such a difference to him. His heart skipped a beat, and his lips twitched. The fact she was lying on a bed only magnified his body’s response, making his already famished cock hunger for more.

Jared joined her on the bed and stretched out next to her.
