The last thing I wanted was to ruin the mood, but I didn't want to play any more games either. All I really wanted was to feel that deep connection we always seemed to share, rather than having some emotionless fuck. "Can't we just have a normal night together?" I asked, watching his face change. "I miss you."

He stared at me for a few seconds and then removed the cuff. "Sure, but what's normal anymore, Carrie?" Something was off, something had definitely changed along the way and my heart clenched in my chest at how detached he sounded. I felt the tear slide down my cheek as he backed off the bed. "Why are you crying?"

I sat up, crossing my arms across my chest. "How can you ask me that? I thought you knew me so well." He never responded and I took a deep breath, attempting to stop myself from crying in front of him. "I just don't get it. Physically, I've poured myself into this relationship, equally with both of you. Emotionally, I just assumed you and I were on a deeper level. Shannon you've been avoiding me and now that we're together, you're hot one minute and cold the next and it fucking hurts." I didn't want to be that girlfriend, the type to complain over stupid, petty things, but this was different.

With his hands on his hips, he paced at the foot of the bed. "I thought we were going to enjoy our night and talk about this later."

My stomach knotted up and I knew I couldn't pretend to be blissfully ignorant any longer. All I wanted was for him to let me in, just tell me what was bothering him. "I don't know if I can. Talk to me Shannon."

Rubbing his hand over his face, he nodded and moved to sit in front of me. "You really want to know?" He smirked, pulling his phone from his back pocket. His fingers moved over the screen with lightning speed. "I'm still annoyed with Jared about what happened that day, you know, him telling our mother that you're his girlfriend. It just makes things a little unfair for me."

I was so relieved he was finally opening up to me. We had been over this before, it was the same issue and I reached forward, taking his hand as I spoke. "I'm sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my feelings toward you haven't changed. I love you."

I watched as his smile grew and he pulled his shirt over his head, dropping it to the floor. "I love you too, and I'm glad you feel that way. It really pisses me off that I can't take you out to nice places like he can, not to mention how unfair it is to you."

"I don't care about that. Being with you is all that matters. You think I care about where we go?" I asked, hoping I wouldn't make it worse.

"Right now it doesn't matter to you, but one day, it might." He shook his head, clearly still affected by that day at Jared's and no matter what I said, he would have to get over it in his own time. He leaned over and kissed me tenderly. It was a small, yet warm kiss, but this along with his opening up about what upset him, made me relax. "Can you do something for me?" He asked, pressing his forehead to mine.

"Anything."

"Would you really do anything for me?" It was a silly question, considering some of the things I had already done for him, but since he obviously needed the confirmation, I gave it to him.

"Of course!" I was mesmerized by the deep swirls of the honey color in his seductive eyes. I swear that man had a gift for making me do whatever he wanted. He then received a text and glanced down at his phone, but made no move to respond.

Giving me a grin, he stood and moved across the room. He opened a drawer and pulled out a blindfold. "Would you be willing to wear this?" Sighing, I was a little apprehensive, but still nodded yes. Shannon moved behind me, pulling the satiny material over my eyes. This always made me feel so vulnerable and uneasy, but I trusted him fully. Brushing the hair from my shoulder, he gave my neck a few gentle kisses and whispered into my ear. "Don't take it off, I'll be right back. I have a surprise for you."

I folded my arms across my chest and sat there. Listening carefully, I heard his footsteps on the floor, walking away from the bedroom. Holding my breath, I tried to listen to the hushed whispers coming from the next room. I pulled at the sheet, wanting to cover myself when I heard the footsteps returning.

"I want you to stay quiet Carrie, but I'm letting you know that there will be three of us tonight, sweetheart." My heart instantly began beating faster and faster. I was stunned that even though he was still upset with Jared, he wanted a threesome anyway. I could feel the bed dip in front of me as Shannon continued to speak from across the room and the second Jared's smooth hand caressed my face, my lips started to tremble. I couldn't stop thinking of the times the three of us had been together before, and was thrilled that it was going to happen again. "Just relax, babe. You look so beautiful." I listened to Shannon say, just as Jared's lips claimed mine.

My head felt so hazy and heat quickly consumed me just from the sensation of his incredibly soft lips moving against mine. A little gasp escaped my lips when he tugged at the sheet covering me, but I didn't fight him. I could feel Shannon climbing on the bed next to me and didn't know where to focus my attention, on him moving closer, or Jared's lips and teeth moving down my neck. The sheet seemed to slide off of me completely when Jared got to his knees between my legs, his teeth nipping at my flesh the whole way down.

My breathing quickened with Jared's fingertips and wet lips moving over each breast. Cupping them, he flicked his tongue at rapid speed over each taut bud while his long hair brushed against me and caused goosebumps to erupt all over. Shannon's hand gripped my neck, tilting my head and pressing his lips to mine.

My body felt like it was on fire with Jared's mouth moving down, toward my now wet core. My cheeks flushed hotly with Shannon whispering into my ear. "I can't wait to watch you cum over and over. Do you want the blindfold on or off?"

"Off," I panted, desperate to see those familiar baby blues, but when Shannon pulled the black material from my eyes, I froze. My insides felt like they were doused with ice water and my heart exploded in my chest. The unfamiliar green eyes staring up at me, made me gasp in revolt. The pretty brunette, whose eyes darted from me to Shannon, looked confused. My hand immediately clutched the sheet, pulling it around my body as I shot up and moved away from the bed, almost tripping. "What the fuck?!"
