A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5522

At the phrase "human needs," Luna's cheeks blazed scarlet. A single memory struck her like a hammer—the mortifying instant when she had stood totally bare, every inch of her exposed to both Flaxseed and Jared.

"Since the two of you... need some help with, well, men's matters," she whispered so softly the syllables almost died in her throat, "I can help you..."

Flaxseed's pupils glittered like coins in lamplight. "Really? Marvelous!" His excitement ballooned at once. "Jared, which of us goes first? Rock–paper–scissors? Winner takes the lead, loser waits outside and, I don't know, scrubs the pans afterward?"

"Count me out," Jared replied, shaking his head.

He admired Luna's looks, certainly, yet forcing desire on a woman went against every line he drew for himself. Jared had shared more nights than he could easily count, but only with women who had stepped toward him of their own accord—some even insisting on dual cultivation for power's sake while he remained a reluctant participant.

Flaxseed shrugged. "Suit yourself—then I won't be polite." Wiping a string of drool from his beard, he leered at Luna. "Ms. Linford, where shall we... entertain ourselves? Pick someplace cozy."

Luna blinked, then her blush deepened. "You—you have the wrong idea. When I said I'd help, I meant I'd summon two Linford maids. They're beautiful—and untouched—if that puts your mind at ease."

"Ah..." Flaxseed froze, realization dawning. She was not offering herself at all—only arranging company. A heartbeat later, he recovered, smacking his palms together. "Fine by me. Since Jared refuses, I'll take both maids, thanks kindly."

Luna dipped her head. "Follow me then."

She guided the two men back through the lantern-lit corridors of the Linford residence, summoned the butler, and soon delivered two wide-eyed maids to Flaxseed's chamber for his diversion.

Moments later, shrill feminine cries burst through the wooden door—proof enough that Flaxseed's pent-up energy was at last finding release.
