Chapter 38 (Jaxon)

Okay, so Eve has a point. My sister seems perfectly fine with Nolan. More than fine, actually. My usual protectiveness seems unnecessary, but I suddenly have a bit more understanding of Alpha Luke and his reasons behind being protective of his daughter.

After the tour, I steal Eve away from the group, getting her in the forest for a few minutes of alone time. I press her against a tree and k*iss her, making sure to put every moment I’ve missed her into the k*iss.

“Is it terrible that I’m worried I won’t be able to sleep tonight if I’m not sleeping in bed with you?” she asks when we finally pull apart. 

“Honestly, I had the same thought. My bed doesn’t smell like you, and it’ll feel huge and lonely.” I say, keeping my forehead pressed against hers, my eyes closed as I take in her scent and just enjoy our closeness.

I feel her f*ingers toying with the collar of my shirt. “I could always sneak into your room.”

I open my eyes, seeing hers looking back at me.

“Are you planning to be naughty Evangeline?” I ask her, my voice rumbling at the thought of my mate sleeping beside me tonight.

She shrugs. “I sleep better beside you, Jaxon.”

“I’ll leave my door unlocked. Come in whenever you want or can get away.”

“Yeah?” she asks.

“And if I’m asleep, just crawl in beside me. I’ll leave room for you. But we’re only sleeping. We both need our rest for tomorrow. I have a feeling Nolan is going to make us work as hard as Ezekiel.”

“I hope so. I’d hate to feel like I wasted a week of training,” she says, making me smile.

Later that night, when she sneaks into my room and crawls into my bed, we spend some time kissing and t*ouching each other, enjoying the feel of our naked bodies pressed against each other again. But, soon enough, we curl up together and fall asleep. I set my alarm to give her plenty of time to get back to her room and shower before training.
