JENNAAfter the call with Lisa and hearing about Nana’s health. She called and told me when they got discharged. Just so I would feel better and be sure that she was alright, she gave her the phone and we spoke.I shed a few tears, can’t deny that. She called me her big baby, then she said to not worry about her and have fun. I don’t know why they were all in support, and wanting me to have fun with Jason.They all didn’t like the guy. Or I thought they didn’t like him. They are acting very differently now. Though when you think of it, you couldn’t dislike him after meeting him. He had that kind of effect on people.Jason said he had something planned for us for the afternoon. And no matter how many times I asked and tried to coerce him into telling me, he refused to slip and let me know. Saying it is a surprise.I gave up at some point and just waited to see.When Amaya came after they brought our brunch. I asked her if there was a gift shop. I was tired of wearing the same clothes.
JASONJenna will be the death of me.She could turn me to putty in her hands and I’ll ask if I’m perfect enough. Really, how did I let someone this awesome slip through my fingers?The young me was extremely stupid. Because right now, I would do anything and everything I'm capable of to keep her by my side. For her to take me back.You’re engaged and you need to get married for the treaty. The voice in my head has lost its credibility and the ability for it to stop me from wanting to be selfish.Before, it would have had me looking for the nearest exit and trying to put as much distance between us as possible. Right now, I’m thinking of how to shut it the fuck down.I think whatever line we were supposed to stay on the opposite sides of, blurred, the first day I kissed her in that office. And it has been a steady downward spiral since then. I couldn’t see her without feeling the need to have her.And knowing she feels the sexual tension, the crazy need, deep rooted inside her, as I do
JENNAAmaya came back and took us out. I’d righted my clothes as well as I could, and Jason got into his old clothes too. He’d given me a wink after he put the shirt on, and my cheeks heated. The damn tease.Oblivious to the tension between us, Amaya was going off about all the activities we could do if we wanted. I appreciated her effort which made me promise to do one or two things while we were still here. Also, Jason said he had something planned for us tonight and I couldn’t wait to see what it was.He is still tight lipped about it.She took us to what I assumed was their local market. They had everything from the looks of it. From clothes, to gifts. You could find anything and everything there.We first went into the shop that had male clothing. Jason let me pick out everything for him. Which was surprisingly easy. Shopping for men had to be the easiest thing in the world.It made me remember how very different shopping was with the kids. Ryan didn’t mind, whatever you picked f
JASONBlair’s breath catches in her throat at my words. Her pulse was pounding, and the sudden urge to bite down on her neck hit me. To mark her, claim her, make her mine.Fuck the treaty. Fuck the wedding. I just wanted her.Before I could let my wolf win that argument and make me do something we’ll both probably regret. I placed a long kiss on her bare skin, loving the scent of her. Wanting more, but knowing there was nothing more I could do than that. I moved back a step, seeing the view of the dress from behind her.She looks great. I’d picked the dress because I knew the color would make her eyes pop, I hadn’t prepared myself for the fitting.“You look ravishing, Jen.” My voice was husky and had a rough edge to it.What I didn’t add was, I’d like to ravish her. Right here. Ignore the fact that the sales attendant and our guide are a few feet away and they’ll definitely hear. I wouldn’t want her to be quiet.It is best if I move back.“You should keep it, only if you want of cours
JENNAWe decided to stop by one of the food stalls and get food. Then go sightseeing for a bit.Amaya, who is a darling, had everything we bought sent to our room, while Jason and I walked around the place.I found a romper in the store and immediately fell in love. It was a sage green color and had flutter sleeves. It had a deep V-neck with buttons running up. There was no way I was leaving without it. Which was why I changed into it immediately.“Green is definitely your color,” Jason had said after I changed into it. His words made my insides warm and something fluttered in my chest.I switched my flats for some sandals which we found in a different store. It was brown and complimented my dress.I’d tried to put up a fight when Jason brought out his card to pay. I couldn’t let him keep paying for my stuff. God knows how much he is already paying for this trip and he still wants to spend some more.He’d pretended he didn’t even hear me trying to put up a fight and gave the woman his
JASONGetting Jenna to let it go was a lot easier than I thought. I expected her to put up a fight and I was ready to bring in all my defenses.I guess, I should accept that she can’t be predicted anymore. Which is hot as hell, might I add.Almost as hot as her in that romper. I wanted to bite my fist when she chose to wear that romper dress. And I wouldn’t have told her not to. She looked sexy as hell in it and she was hot. Almost too hot. You could tell me she was the reason the weather was so warm today and I’ll agree.I constantly had to remind myself to think of other things, so I wouldn’t be walking around with a boner. Still had a semi throughout though.I spoke with Zeke, who wanted to hear all the details about the trip. Jenna had decided to go for a massage before the time for her surprise. She’d asked if she needed to come back early. I told her to take her time.If I could make the world go round so she got to do things at her own pace, I would do it. Moving the reservatio
JENNA I’ve always heard a phantom slap was worse than a real one. And a reality check slap is also worse than a slap you’ll receive for literally, any other reason. The two formers were what it had felt like when I heard the name on the phone. When Liz, Jason’s fiancé, asked if he was close because she had been calling him but she couldn’t reach him. Home wrecker. The word kept repeating itself in my head. Getting louder and louder, until I felt like my brain was going to explode. The other woman. I hated that word. I’d told myself I wasn’t going to stay in the pack and become that. Only for me to leave and become that either way. My hands shook as I brought it up to my lips. I bit on it too hard and it drew blood. The pain barely registered in my head. I was too busy trying to stop myself from sinking underwater. The oxygen in my lungs was already starting to run and the water bank seems like it is forever away from me. On shaky legs, I turned and walked out of the room. Not
JASONI was close to losing my fucking mind.Jenna went out without her phone so there was no way to reach her. She has been gone for hours now.I’d wanted to follow her after she went out, but knowing her, I knew it would be best to let her reel in silence first. From childhood, I know I’ll only make things worse if I tried to talk to her while she was distraught.I felt fucking stupid for not listening to my inner voice. Because then, I would have at least known where she went.I’ve searched every part of this damned place. Even went as far as checking the beach. Surely she would be by the water. I knew how much that made her calm. The reason she always went to the lake back at home when she was upset.Except, she wasn’t there. And the small flicker of hope died down. I was left feeling even more miserable and dejected.I hated Liz at that point. I usually didn’t feel anything, except the thought of her as a responsibility to me. Like a chore on my to-do list that I’ll have to tick
