Ava by L.G.Savage (HeartBreak)

Chapter 27

Ava felt her muscles relax, and a wave of relief washed through her whole body. Jared’s hands were like magic on her sore body.

“That feels amazing,” she said sleepily. “What is it?”

“A little something I get whipped up by a witch at home. Helps after hard training sessions,” Jared answered. “If I had known it worked on humans, I would have given it to you sooner.”

The fact that anyone with supernatural healing powers needed something like this made her feel anxious again.

She flinched when Jared touched a more painful spot on her back. It brought her mind back to the present.

“Sorry,” Jared said.

“It’s fine.”

She let him put it wherever he needed to and closed her eyes. She’d hardly had any sleep with the early mornings and the pain in her body. This was the best she had felt in what seemed like forever.

“Turn over,” Jared instructed.

She mumbled a protest, but Jared laughed and turned her over himself. It didn’t feel as painful as she had thought it would. Keeping her eyes closed, she allowed Jared to continue his magic on the front of her body. He had dug up a bikini set from somewhere. She’d never worn bikinis because they exposed too much, but she was glad Jared owed some, for whatever reason. The tiny scraps of material allowed him unrestricted access as he moved his hands everywhere she needed him to.

She moaned when he started on her arm. She’d hurt her shoulder more with her duties in the kitchen, but now, the pain was almost gone.

“All done,” Jared said when he finally stopped.

“Thank you,” she said sincerely. “This is the third time you’ve saved me. I don’t know what I can do to repay you.”

ough. No one ever

“You don’t need to repay me. Your company is really visits here unless I’m having a party,” Jared sighed.

Did his pack members not live with him? He sounded a little sad when he said that. She remembered how upset he had been at the assembly about something the dean said. Something about last year’s evaluations? What was his story? Though he’d had his hands all over her body, she didn’t feel they were close enough for her to ask such personal questions.

“Now, do you want to tell me what had those tears on your face? Besides the pain, that is,” Jared said as he moved over to another lounger.
