Page 23 of Always Watching
“Damn right,” he says with conviction. “I’ll let you go. It’s almost time for you to go on. I’ll be watching to make sure there aren’t any shitty comments.”
I smile. “Thanks. I’ll call you later. Love you.”
“Love you more.”
I click off the call, the grin still on my face. It feels nice to have both Olly and North watching out for me. I’m not usually a dependent person, but after going through what I did, it’s nice to have someone—orsomeones—to lean on.
“Who do you love?” The voice comes from my doorway and I jump, my hand flying to my chest. North holds his hand out, an apologetic look on his face. “I didn’t mean to scare you. I called to you when I came in, but I didn’t realize you were on the phone.”
I chuckle, my heart rate still going haywire behind my ribs. “It’s okay, I was talking to Olly. He’s going to tune in to the show in a bit to make sure no one inundates me with shitty comments.”
“I can do that,” North says, pushing off the jamb. “I mean, I can drag your laptop into the hall and—”
“No,” I interrupt. “You can stay in here. If you’re looking at comments, it only makes sense. And like I said before, it’s not like you haven’t seen my body already.”
A soft smile touches his lips. “You sure? If your friend is watching out for you, you won’t need me.”
“Two sets of eyes are better than one.” I step past North and hurry to my room to get changed.
I lean back against the door and try to catch my breath. The thought of North being in the room with me while I touch myself already has me hard, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think about him watching me pleasure myself one day—or think aboutmepleasuringhim. Down on my knees, looking up into those blue-green eyes as they flare with arousal when I suck him in.
I scoff and push off the door to get dressed. Never in all my years have I gone down on someone. One kiss. I’ve only had one kiss and I think I can suck a dick? Not likely.
Quickly, I get dressed and head to my cam room—or North’s room, as I see it now. My heart rate quickens when I see North sitting at the desk my camera is propped up on. He has my laptop open and turned to face him, a dip in his eyebrows.
“Everything okay?” I ask, moving to the bed to straighten it up again. I grin when I spot one of North’s bags peeking out from under it. I told him he could use the closet, but he declined.
“Oh, yeah. Just making sure everything is good to go. You’re logged in, but not streaming yet. When you’re ready, I’ll start the livestream.”
I pull the lube from the nightstand drawer and toss it onto the bed, right on the pillow North uses every night. Is it weird that I fixate on his things in my apartment? Probably, but fuck it.
Before I climb onto the bed, I blow out a long, nervous breath. Maybe things will be different now that North is here. He can keep me safe while I have fun, jump back into my work and have a bomb orgasm.
Once I have everything I need, I take a seat at the end of the bed and nod to North. When I see the red light flashing on my camera, I paste on a smile and feel in my element.
“Hey, everyone. I’m so sorry it’s been so long since I’ve made a video.” I swallow roughly and let out a deep breath, gripping the mattress. “I’m sure most of you saw what happened last time I went live. I had to heal and rest before I came back here to you guys.” I lift my head and smile. “But here I am. Back and ready to work.”
A few pings go off on my computer and I raise an eyebrow at North. He turns the screen around so I can read what the subs are saying. He slides closer to the end of the desk—out of the eyesight of the camera—so he can still read what’s being said.
derbycockrider69: So glad you’re back, Cas! You look great. We missed you.
“Hey, Derby. I missed you all too.” My chest feels warm. Even though some might not think it’s a big deal to be back camming, I like it and want to make sure my subs are happy. “I’m glad you aren’t all upset with me because of my last few shows. I promise I’ll make it up to you.”
camfan09: Glad ur ok. that looked brutal.
A sad smile crosses my face. “It was even worse experiencing it. I still have a few bumps and bruises, but that’s to be expected. But I’m fit as a fiddle and ready to show you all a good time.”
kodachrome99: Can we see your ass while you give us life updates?
North growls, but I don’t look over at him. I don’t want viewers to know he’s here.
Even though I smile, I let some heat enter my voice. “Koda, you’ve been on thin ice with me for weeks. Chill out or I’ll boot you from the room.”
Koda’s light goes from green to grayed out, showing he’s logged off. Whatever. I move on to one more comment.
cooper99: I’m excited to see you work again. Will you be back to twice-weekly shows?
“Yes, Cooper. I think from here on out, I’ll be good to continue twice-weekly shows.” After a few seconds, I say, “Now. Are you all ready?” I slide back on the bed, playing with the hem of my pants. “I said, are you all ready? I don’t see any tips.”
