Shackled (The Lord Series) by Amy T

393. Jasper - I love you I

The meeting at the Blood Lodge went better than I expected. After the initial shock of finding out the truth about Ansel, those present asked many questions, most of which were answered by Ansel, the Elders, or Olivia.

*Olivia.*

No wonder she's the strongest hellstar ever to be born. She knows how to speak to people, and how to express herself. Many would be nervous to address a crowd, but not Olivia. She was calm, and her ideas were clear. It was like she did this before. Maybe she did. From what she told me, she wanted a career in politics, and she was in a debate club at school.

I'm happy she is no longer interested in politics and is now working with Tyson and me, sharing our dreams. I can't wait to see her name next to Tyson's on the cover of their first book written together, just as I can't wait to see her working with animals.

After the meeting, I had to stay for another meeting with the Elders and other Lords that lasted several hours. Tyson and the others took Olivia home because she was worried about Spencer despite Jon and Khloe being with him.

It's been about a half an hour since I returned home. After checking on Spenser, wanting to be sure he's in his bed, and a quick snack, I jumped in the shower. Warm water falls down my back, washing away the tension in my body and relaxing my muscles. Having finally washed away the day before I crawl into bed next to Olivia and the others.

I turn off the water at the same time the bathroom door opens. My back is to it, so I don't see who entered. Not that it matters since Tyson asks, "Why didn't you send me a text letting me know you were back?"

I shrug before turning to face Tyson. "I didn't think you cared."

It is only now that I understand why. I love you, Jasper. I really do. If I asked to take things slow it's because loving you and Olivia at the same time is...overwhelming. Scary even.
