Just one look reminded her of the toy filling her and her ass clenched around the plug. Jerk. She stuck her tongue out at him, practically daring him to do something about it.

The expression of defiance on Sharon’s face told Jake she was getting close to her limit and he chuckled. She hadn’t been wrong when she’d said they were going to drive each other crazy, but he didn’t think she’d anticipated how much he would enjoy tormenting her. Yes, she drove him up the wall sometimes, but then he’d repay her in smaller, subtler ways.

Right now, she was probably wondering why he hadn’t snuck away with her to take advantage of the plug he’d fitted between her sweet cheeks before they’d left for the party, and he wasn’t about to tell her. It wasn’t often anyone managed to keep a secret in this group, but somehow this one had lasted.

The only reason he knew about it was because Adam had pulled him aside when they’d arrived and told him not to sneak off with Sharon until after.

It looked like the time was finally upon them, as Adam came into the kitchen from the basement stairs, leading the others that had been down there as well. It made for a crowded kitchen, and Jake slid away from Patrick and Lexie to make his way around the edges of the room to Sharon. There wasn’t any signal, but as Adam took up a spot in the center, right next to the island, everyone slowly started to quiet.

There was just something about his stance that said he wanted everyone’s attention - and they immediately gave it to him. Angel wormed her way next to him and he smiled down at her, sliding his arm around her waist before looking up again.

“Hey everyone, Angel and I just wanted to thank you for coming to our St. Patrick’s Day party, especially since we’re having it in the middle of the afternoon and kicking you all out by eight.” There were chuckles all around, because they knew he wasn’t kidding. “It’s really wonderful to be able to see everyone, and especially great that you’re all so willing to help us out with Melody this afternoon, at least until her diaper needs changing.” Adam paused again for more laughter, his blond goatee twitching slightly as he suppressed his smile. “But the real reason I’m asking for your attention is so that I can hand it over.”
