Chapter 222 Move In Together
When Natasha woke up, it was already noon.
She felt like she’d been run over by a truck.
She struggled to sit up in bed, supporting her sore back as she climbed out
Then, she grabbed a white shirt from beside the bed, slipped it on, and walked into the bathroom to freshen up When Jared walked in, he saw Natasha at the sink, brushing her teeth while wearing his white shirt
He couldn’t help but smile as he strode over tu her.
He wrapped his arms around her tiny waist from behind, his unique masculine scent enveloping her
Natasha shivered. She froze mid-brush. ‘Seriously, how am I supposed to brush my teeth with him like this? “Need a hand with that?” Jared murmured in her ear, his hand gently covering hers as she held the toothbrush
He wrapped his arm around her from behind, his hand guiding hers as he whispered softly in her ear
Natasha’s cheeks flushed.
She instinctively shook her head. “No, I can do it myself.”
Jared didn’t let go. Instead, he took over, gently brushing her teeth from behind.
“Relax, I’ll take care of you,” he murmured.
“Seriously, I don’t need your help!” Natasha protested.
Jared grinned, teasing her. “What’s with the attitude? Was last night not enough for you?”
The mention of last night instantly pissed Natasha off. She glared at him, her face flushed with both embarrassment and frustration. ‘Did he really just say that?’
But at that moment, she was so exhausted she could barely move.
“Jared, you jerk! I went out of my way to throw you a birthday celebration, and this is how you repay me?” she couldn’t help but complain.
Jared raised an eyebrow, teasing, “What did I do? I spent the whole night pleasing you. Wasn’t that enough?”
Natasha was so mad she couldn’t even get a word out.
‘All night pleasing me? Seriously, what is he even talking about? He was torturing me all night, not pleasing me!’ Natasha thought, fuming.
She’d told him no again and again, but Jared just kept demanding more, like he couldn’t get enough.
It was as if he didn’t even know what tired meant.
Natasha felt like he was sucking the life out of her. She was totally spent.
She snatched the toothbrush back, hurried through brushing her teeth, and washed her face in record time.
She totally ignored Jared, refusing to even look at him.
Once she was done, Jared carried her in his arms downstairs.
“Put me down. I can walk by myself!” Natasha protested, squirming in his arms.
But Jared shot her a playful glance and chuckled. “Are you sure you can walk right now?”

Natasha instantly caught the innuendo and shot him a fierce glare, her almond eyes wide with outrage. “You jerk!”
Jared set her down by the dining table and, with a doting smile, ruffled her hair. “You must be starving Come on, have something to eat.”
Natasha was so furious, she felt like she was full from anger alone.
She didn’t have any appetite left.
“I’m not hungry!” she pouted, lips red with annoyance.
Jared could only sigh at her stubbornness.
He moved to sit right beside her. “What, do you want me to feed you?”
Natasha whipped her head around and glared at him.
She was about to fire back at him.

But she swallowed her retort instead.
She just wanted to ignore him.
Jared immediately reached out and turned her back to face him.
“Come on, tell me. What’s got you so mad?” he asked.
Natasha shot him a glare, her tone full of irritation. “Seriously? I told you no last night, but you just wouldn’t stop!”
Her back and waist were killing her. She couldn’t possibly leave the house in such a state.
Jared’s lips curled into a teasing smile. “Yesterday was my birthday. If you came to celebrate, shouldn’t you have shown a
little more enthusiasm? You look like you didn’t even want to be here last night.”
Knowing Natasha, if she really didn’t want to celebrate, she wouldn’t have bothered coming.
But the fact that she showed up means she actually wanted to celebrate with him.
Meanwhile, Natasha thought they’d just have some cake, blow out the candles, and maybe chat a little.
But instead, Jared locked her down in bed and kept going at it nonstop.
‘Why does he never get tired of it?’ Natasha thought, exasperated. ‘It’s like he hasn’t had sex in ages or something.”
She couldn’t help but wonder if getting her as his friend with benefits was all there was to it.
“You can’t be that crazy.” Natasha protested, her tone full of frustration.
He was like a beast that night, totally out of control. ‘Can’t he just dial it down a notch?’
Jared shot back, “How long has it been since we last hooked up?”
Natasha was speechless for a second. “Come on, it hasn’t been ages, has it?”
She had to admit, they didn’t sleep together all that often.
But it should be normal to give each other a little space sometimes.
Jared’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “How about this? Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays you stay at your place, and Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays you crash at mine.”
Natasha was completely stunned. ‘Is he really hinting that we should start living together?’
Her heart trembled. She immediately shook her head. “No way. I haven’t broken up with Percy yet. There’s no way I can stay at your place.”
Honestly, the whole “not broken up with Percy yet” thing was just an excuse.
The real reason was that she didn’t want to move in with Jared.
After all, they were just friends with benefits.
Living together didn’t make sense for friends with benefits like them.
Jared’s face clouded over.
He felt a heavy, inexplicable weight settle in his chest.
“So, when are you going to end things with him?” Jared pressed, repeating the question.
Natasha was at a loss for words after his question.
‘Why is he circling back to this again?’ she thought, totally exasperated.
“Not yet!” she shot back.
She rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
Jared frowned, looking at her. “Seriously, have you never even considered it?”
Natasha just stared at him, lost for words. She thought about that idea constantly. But his pressure had gotten on her
nerves.
She’d already made up her mind to break things off with Percy.
She’d already gone through with it.
