Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 181

Monday's alarm comes way too soon even after having slept all of Sunday. I only woke up when the King came in here to make me eat something and when I had to go to the restroom. I change into my morning workout clothes and meet Jordan outside. "We're trending," he says when we start our jog.

"Nice. Good or bad,"

"So good. The wolves are all wet over us taking out those gorgons. How are you feeling?"

Fine. I just want to be lazy though," I admit.

"Mood," he laughs.

"Are you okay? Jonas said you took a big hit,"

"I wasn't expecting an alpha call in the middle of a fight. I'm sorry. I'm really happy you didn't get too banged up,"

"We're good. I should have noticed sooner. I wouldn't have let you help otherwise. It all happened very fast. So, don't worry about it," I reassure him.

We finish our run and head up to get ready for the day. My right shoulder is still bruised from the impact against the gorgon. I was hoping it would be gone by today, but it's doing a whole lot better than it was yesterday morning. I take a cold shower scrubbing extra hard because I swear I can smell those things on me still.

"You're up," a groggy voice catches my attention. I turn around to see that the King is standing in the bathroom doorway with nothing but gray sweatpants on. That's it. Nothing else.

"Yeah," I nod.

"How's the shoulder? Let me see," he comes straight to me.

My brain short circuits as I look down at his incredible physique. Our getting together wasn't ideal but he sure made the pill easy to go down. I take a deep breath and let him gently remove the shirt I just put on. He lifts me up onto the counter and looks down at me as if he were an actual doctor.

"You should lick it," I suggest. He grins and rolls his sleepy eyes. Is that not how it works?"

"It only works on open wounds," he shakes his head.
