“Do I still have my job?” I ask, my lips quirking up since, for the first time today, I am feeling okay.

Jared lets out a laugh. "Yes, you still have a job. If I fired you, you'd probably have a strong case for HR."

I let out a relieved breath. "Then I forgive you." With that, Jared removes his hand from my cheek and instead pulls me into his embrace. I'm not sure how long we stand there in silence, not needing words, simply relishing each other's presence.

"Don't do that again," I finally mumble against his chest.

"I won't. Promise," Jared says, resting his head on top of mine. While I can't be certain if he's truly sincere, or if circumstances might change our relationship, in this moment, I trust him. Even though we're not officially together, I trust that he cares for me and wouldn't intentionally hurt me. It's funny, because not too long ago, Jared and I would say and do things without a second thought that could hurt each other's feelings. But this new phase we've entered, though intimidating, is also a welcomed one.

Remembering, I pull back from Jared’s chest and look up at him. “Where is Archer?”

Jared smirks at my question. “He’s at my mom’s. I was being a little presumptuous, but I’m all yours tonight. I even have a change of clothes in the car.”

“Lucky me.” I smile, grabbing his hand as I lead him back to my room.

The rest of my dinner can wait.

CHAPTER20

JARED

“Do you like that?” I whisper into Monica’s ear as my hips slap against her backside.

Outside of work, Monica and I rarely have the opportunity to spend much time together, especially since I always have Archer with me. That's why I'm grateful that I had the idea to leave him with my mom last night, allowing Monica and me to spend some time alone.

Monica’s back is flush against my chest as we both try to keep ourselves up on our knees. I keep her held against me, though I can tell she’s ready to collapse.

“Yes,” she manages to whimper.

“Just give me one more,” I ask as my hand snakes around to her front, beginning to massage her sensitive clit.

Seeing Monica finish once had been amazing. But twice? It was out of this world, especially knowing that I was the one that drew it out of her. Once I got the second one, I just had to go for a third.

It’s been a challenge holding myself back, but for Monica, I’m willing to give her anything. Because once she’s falling apart in my arms again, she is giving me everything.

“I can’t,” she tells me, but she lets out another soft moan as my fingers massage her faster.

“Yes, you can. I know you can,” I tell her, hoping she finishes soon, my own impending orgasm quickly approaching.

I hold her tight against me so she can’t squirm away. My hips piston into her, and my fingers work to match that pace. I won’t allow myself to come until she does.

“Jared!” she cries out, her voice filled with both pleasure and worry as what I know to be another orgasm begins to build in her already tired body.

“I know, baby. Just come for me,” I murmur, letting my head nestle into the crook of her neck.

While I know it’s coming, feeling Monica convulse around me as her third orgasm this morning rips through her has my head spinning. It yanks my own release out of me.

As I let go of her, she collapses onto the bed in front of me, and I throw myself next to her, breathless.

Climbing out of bed, I make my way to Monica's bathroom to grab a wet washcloth. Returning quickly, I efficiently clean her up.

"Don't get too comfortable. I promised Archer we'd go to the aquarium today," I explain, smiling at Monica's tired appearance.

"You guys have fun with that. I'll be sleeping here," she tells me, keeping her eyes closed.

"Oh no, you're not. You're coming with us. I can't possibly leave you after all this," I insist, throwing my arm over her exposed back.

She cracks her eyes open and looks at me. "Won't Archer find it suspicious?"
