Awakening

Riley POV

I woke to Jax's heavy body laid on top of me. His face planted securely between my breast and arm protectively around my stomach.

He was such a powerful man with this unwavering confidence. Every day he was showing me a more softer side to him. I knew he could be demanding and possessive like Liam, maybe even worse, but he didn't show it often. He melted to my touch and I saw in his eyes that I already became his world.

I never felt this kind of love from anyone in my life before. It was overwhelming, but also addicting. I needed to be loved this way always. I never knew how badly I craved to belong to another before.

My fingers brushed through his blond hair and I just laid with a smile. He was really mine. He was my soul mate and not just because of this weird ass mark he branded me with either. I felt it in every part of my body the second I saw his face on my computer back in New York.

My heart felt heavy thinking of Liam. I wanted him next to me too. Never in my life
