Willow
I gazed over at Ronnie as the silence dragged on. I knew she was aware of who I had meant by him. I did not want to say his name audibly in case Jax was listening, but I was dying to know, even if she could not tell me all of the specifics right this second.
The elation I had felt at the prospect of returning home dimmed a bit with the knowledge that my friend would not be returning with us. Even so, I knew she would stay in contact and visit as often as she could.
I watched as the indecision flitted across her face briefly and a look of resolve took its place as she nodded her head in affirmation, not daring to confirm anything aloud.
My face broke out in a huge smile as I leaned forward to pull her into the circle of my arms, squeezing her tightly for an immeasurab
Hello wonderful readers, my goal is to finish this book by the end of the month, so you may see more days with multiple chapter uploads. Thank you for all the feedback and support!! :)
Jax She did not meet my eyes as she informed me that she was ready to take the next step in our relationship, but I knew she was still shy, even with me. Therefore, her spoken words were enough for my wolf and me to pounce forward in a flash, pulling her tightly against my chest as my lips descended. The words had barely passed the threshold of her lips before mine were on them in a brutal kiss that left no questions concerning my feelings on the matter. However, before I could get carried away, she eased back some to gain my attention, letting the fog clear an adequate amount for me to regain a semblance of order while she began speaking. “Baby, I would love nothing more than to lose myself in you right this second, but we have too many things to accomplish before we leave tomorrow.” She finished in a reluctant tone of voice, her discontentment with the sit
Jax Nothing had turned out like I had expected when I arrived in the South not long ago. The seconds dragged on minutely around me while they seemed to simultaneously slip by like the sands of time, and I lost myself in coming to terms with my new reality. When I finally glanced up, we were back in the kitchen once more. I knew that I must have helped my mate bag up the groceries and carry them inside when we had returned to the lodge, but my mind had been a million miles away while my body had went through the motions mechanically in its absence. However, I could not deny the soothing effect Willow’s mere presence provided throughout my inner turmoil. I was sure she had noticed my inattention and recognized my need for some time to process things on my own for now. Although she did not say as mu
Willow I could tell that Jax still had a lot of emotions to sift through, aside from the fact that he probably had a million details to organize before our departure tomorrow, as well. I knew he would talk to me if he needed to, and that was enough for my wolf to allow me to get busy with the preparations for dinner. I whizzed around the kitchen, feeling in touch with my mother as I used our family recipe to make the lattice topped apple pie and fried the chicken in Crisco concurrently on the stovetop. I had also made some baked macaroni and roasted asparagus to go along with our meal, but it all came down to a waiting game as soon as I pulled the last piece of crispy chicken from the blistering pan of grease. Following, I peeked into the oven to observe the development of the confection, noticing with relief the lightly brown
Jax I trudged up the stairs after an emotional goodbye with my sister. I saw her to the door and made her promise to mind link with me when she made it home safely. I knew the others had everything under control for the time being, but I could not help the worry that continued to suffuse me where my sister was concerned. I located Willow snuggled up in the downy bedding upon entering the room, noticing the moisture and light fragrance that still permeated the air from her recent shower. As much as I wanted to crawl right into the bed next to her, I somehow resisted the temptation and made my way into the bathroom to clean up after another taxing day. I felt the anxiety creeping up on me again, beyond ready to finally be home in my own territory with Willow by my side, right where she would always belong. My wolf howled his agr
Willow I continued to struggle with coming back down from the mountain peak that Jax had rocketed my fatigued body to at a heretofore unparalleled rate, but in the back of my mind, my wolf jumped for joy as his growled words managed to register through my utter state of bliss. I felt the stirring they induced in my already overexerted body, only compounding further with the heat that had arisen from the wicked look in his mesmerizing eyes as he had cleaned my sticky juices from his calloused hand, but he had only tugged me tighter into his side when he was done, pressing a tender kiss against my temple as my eyes lazily drifted shut in pure serenity. I found myself both excited and nervous for when we would irrevocably clinch our mating, the enticing scent emanating from the crook of his neck, where I had nuzzled my nose into subconsciously, abetting in mudd
Willow I was jolted awake by the decreasing momentum of the car, or at least I think that was what had roused me. The last thing I had recollected was staring out the window as the trees surrounding us on either side of the small road blurred while we had sped onward, leaving the Eastern Province far behind us in the distance. Don’t get me wrong, it was a gorgeous sight, especially after approximately two years of staring at the same monotonous walls most days, but I could only admire the nature encircling me for so long before my wolf would start scratching at my skin to get out. I shook the grogginess from my sleep away, permitting my eyes to pivot around until they conclusively locked with Jax’s. Next, he had spoken those sweet words that had made me melt a little on the inside, but I could see by the darkening of his gaze
Willow Jax’s firm lips came down hard on mine as his talented tongue invaded my mouth, his intoxicating flavor exploding over my taste buds in a speedy burst while his frantic kiss sent my libido skyrocketing on the spot with the force of the passion I could sense looming just beyond his carefully cultivated control. Ensuing, his large hands gripped my curves with abandon in conjunction with his zealous affection, but he quickly progressed his sensual torment before much time had elapsed, to my intense gratification. I was roasting up on the inside, and my wolf and I were decisively in agreement that this whole dance had gone on for far too long. I needed to feel him inside me as of yesterday, but I would gladly reconcile myself with it being right this very second. With that last thought bouncing
Jax With one powerful lunge forward, my mind fractured momentarily as it was overwhelmed with the sensations of claiming my soulmate at long last. I nebulously noticed that my wolf had managed to express his excitement through a low howl that I could feel all the way down to the tips of my toes as my shoulders strained with exertion and my claws tore into the wooden rail behind my mate’s head. I was struggling to not blow my load, holding my raging member stock-still so that the sensory overload would not send me sprinting over the edge prematurely as I was besieged by the lust drenching me in its deluge at the feeling of her wet heat ensconcing me. I wanted this to last at least until I had her screaming my name as her center compressed around my pulsing length with the resulting tremors of her release before we started the s
