The Claiming by Cooper

The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 58 (Evangeline)

I barely slept last night. First, I knew Jaxon needed his rest, so I woke up periodically and if I thought he was awake, I’d begin a slow, deep purr to help him relax and fall back to sleep.

While I was awake, I thought about all of the people I love who are in battles today and what if the worst happens, what if they end up battling each other. This is the last chance. You lose today, you’re out of the contest completely.

When I looked at the score boards last night, I realized that over half of the Alphas in this competition are going into day 3. Some, like Jaxon, Tobias and Reid are because they forfeited to their mates. Others like Lazio, Maggie and Rowen just lost to a stronger Alpha, or maybe they had a bad day, or maybe they weren’t meant to be Alphas of their own pack. Either way, I want to make sure that I do everything I can today to support my mate and my family.

In some ways, I guess it’s good that Jaxon and I got slated against each other yesterday. If something had gone wrong and we’d have both ended up in the competition today and then been placed in competition together, Jaxon would be out of the contest. I would never want to win by default and truth be told, I’m enjoying this contest more because I’m doing it with my mate.

As the time gets closer to get up, I watch the clock and then gently wake my mate. He is my everything and he potentially gave up his chance to be an Alpha for me. Thinking of that, my lips linger on his as I k*iss him awake. My mate, on the other hand, wakes with a very different idea in mind.

“Don’t you need to conserve your energy?” I ask him.

“You are my energy, Eve. Everything about you makes me come alive,” he says as he slides inside me.

I push him over onto his back, making sure to keep him seated deep inside me. “At least let me do the work,” I tell him as settle on top of him, feeling his long, t*hick l*ength d*eep inside me.

“Goddess, you feel so good,” I say, letting my head fall back. I begin to slowly ride him, loving the feel of his hands on my b*reasts as I slide up and d*own his l*ength.
