The Video 

JACE POV 

We leave Ella asleep in the playroom while Jude and I go to the living room and talk. After grabbing a couple of sodas from the kitchen, I join my friend on the couch, “So, it‘s not like I‘m not glad to see you earlier than expected, but why are you hear already?” 

Popping the tab on his can, he takes a drink before an swering my question, “I wanted to give Beth space to figure out what she wants out of this relationship.” 

“Oh wow,” his response takes me off guard, “I hadn‘t real ized that there were any issues with the two of you.” 

He scoffs, “You and me both, bro.” He takes another drink, “She‘s jealous, or at least that‘s how she‘s playing it off, any way.” 

“What do you mean?” 

“Well,” he sighs heavily, “First she brought up collaring Madison and I told her that I wasn‘t interested in collaring her, so then, she brings up Ella and asked me if it was because of her and how she can see how bad I want to fuck her.” 

I can‘t really say I‘m surprised by what he‘s telling me; I‘ve seen it myself, but I never thought it went further than what all the other Dominants want with Ella. Jude is smirking at me while I‘m contemplating everything that he‘s just told me.

“Yes and no, I mean I knew you were wanting to do more with her, though, I know you wouldn‘t without permission, but I never thought it was more than what others want to do with her.” I explain. 

Jude scoffs and then glares at me, “Are you honestly putting me in the same group as those perverted assholes? Yeah, she‘s a fucking innocent beauty, who wouldn‘t want to scene with her, but I see her for who she is, Jace.” He scrubs his face with his hands, “Maybe my feelings do go a little deeper for her, but she‘s your girl, man, and I‘m not crossing that line without your permission.” 

I can‘t help being the one to smirk this time, “I never thought you would, bro. You‘re the only one I trust her with because I know you.” 

“Fuck, I will fucking protect her with my life, man; the same as I would you.” 

I lift my fist, so we can bump it out, “So, what are you hun gry for?” 

After that hot little session, I can eat anything! What are you making?” He chuckles. 

“Fuck that, I‘m doing takeout!” 

definitely wings and pizza then!”
