Layan’s Return by Cooper (Jara & Mason)

Chapter 40

Layan

After I eat, and I devoured everything Elijah put in front of me, I realize he’s right. While I’m in his clothes which are clean, I’m not anywhere close to being clean. I’d been hiding in rock structures and hiding spots in the ground for days when Elijah found me.

I smile, watching as he gets the water going in the tub before moving to get some shampoo and body wash.

He found me, like I knew he would. And then, this man who I had already decided was going to be my mate, made sure that I claimed him first. I feel so lucky to have him as my mate.

He turns his head, flashing me a s*e*xy smile. “What’s on your mind, beautiful?”

“You.” I say, unabashedly.

“Mmmm, I like the sound of that. Anything in particular about me that has you feeling all warm inside.” I blush. It will take some time to remember that he can feel my emotions.

I step up to him as he stands from the tub. “You found me, you insisted that I choose you, claim you first.”

He tucks my hair behind my ear. “I will always find you. And it was important for you to have the control this time.”

I cup his face in my hand. “It’s the reason I chose you to be mate even before you found me. Because that’s the kind of man you are, the kind of man I can happily bind my life to.”

He leans in, kissing my lips softly. I can feel his desire for me, it’s intoxicating, overwhelming. I wrap my arms around his neck, holding him to me as we kiss. His arms wrap around me, engulfing me in his love and protection.

I sigh into our kiss. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to get enough of this.

He pulls back, looking at me. “Time for a bath. I can step out…”

“No, I want you to stay. I have to get used to being around you when I’m naked, right?”

“I just claimed you, Layan. We don’t have to rush into anything.”

“I want you to stay.”
