Page 38 of North (The Moral Compass 2)

Lifting her to her feet, I pull her into my chest, both of us totally naked, wrapped up in each other. Fuck, I love our foreplay.

The ding of the elevator drags me out of my bliss.

“North, where are you, Brother?” West shouts.

I twist our bodies quickly so that West will only see me naked.

“You need to leave now, West. I am serious. You will not unsee this!”

“Oh shit, sorry. Fuck, oh shit. Sorry. Oh Christ,” West grumbles.

“Can you turn your back whilst we go to the bedroom, please?” Kara yells over to West, laughing.

“Shit, yeah, I can come back. Sorry. God, do you two do nothing else but fuck each other?”

“No, you’re fine. We’re done… for now.” I laugh with Kara as I slap her hard on her arse as she bends to pick up her jeans from the floor.

West is making a coffee when we both come back into the kitchen area.

“I want my key back, Bro.” I tap on the kitchen counter, indicating him to leave it there.

“You can have the fucker. I don’t want it. You need to get Mum’s back from her, too. She wouldn’t have been as gracious seeing your arse in full moon.” West slaps the key card on the counter. Kara blushes a vivid red.

“Anyway, what do you need, West? You don’t come here without a reason,” I question.

“Oh, that’s fucking nice. I just thought I’d visit my brother.”

“So, it doesn’t have anything to do with Sutton and the girls still being in hospital and it’s not visiting hours right now, so they have kicked you out?” Kara asks, munching on a biscuit.

“Yeah, okay, you’ve got me. I should be at home getting stuff ready, apparently, but I’ve done it all, and what I haven’t done, Mum has already done. I’m bored. I’ve answered all my work emails, and I just can’t sit still. I don’t want to be anywhere else but with them.” He looks lost. Not a look you see from West. Ever.

“So, what have you kids got on for the rest of the day, then?” West enquires, searching both mine and Kara’s face. Shit! He never misses a trick.

“Not much. We were having some afternoon delight until we were interrupted and then we were going to look at some more houses online, right, honey?” Kara states, overcompensating for the elephant in the room between us.

“Hmm, okay, but the fact you just called North ‘honey’? I’m calling bullshit. You two are up to something. I don’t want to know. I’ve got enough on my plate right now. So, whatever you two are getting yourselves into, please, for the love of God, leave me out of it, okay?”

“Jesus, West. What’s up your nose? You are on one today. Bloody hell, I often call North ‘honey’ after I’ve been sucking his dick.”

“Right, that’s me! I’m off. I thought I could just visit and be normal with you two but oh no. That’s not possible.” West turns and heads for the elevator.

“Ah, West, don’t go. Come back. Kara will behave. She’s just got a bit of afterglow going on.”

The elevator dings, and West disappears as Kara and I fall into fits of laughter. It’s not funny, really, and I shouldn’t take the piss out of him in his emotional state, but it’s not often the ball is in my court, so I am taking it.

Chapter 28

Kara

Northcirclesmewithhis cup of coffee in his hand. I’m frantically stuffing biscuits in my mouth so I don’t have to speak. I know what the next words out of North’s mouth will be.

Those deep brown eyes are boring into me each time he comes round in front of me. Round and round in circles. Meanwhile, I just keep filling my mouth, one biscuit after another, until he moves the biscuit barrel and puts it out of reach.

Well, it was a short reprieve, but I guess a deal is a deal.

“Shall we take a seat now, my cookie monster?” he asks as he taps me on my backside.

I nod and take a seat back on the sofa where I was before I made a deal with the Devil himself.
