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 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

Willow I tiredly rolled around in the bed when I awoke, wincing at the soreness I could feel suffusing scarcely used muscles and electing to leave my eyes firmly shut as I reached out blindly, searching for my mate’s large form. Nevertheless, they soared open abruptly when my wandering hands came up with nothing but an empty space and cold sheets during their hunt. Blinking my groggy eyes open, I allowed them a minute to adjust to the bright light of a fully risen sun filtering through the white colored curtains, I had not realized that I had slept in so long, but it did not surprise me with how late Jax had kept me up last night, not that I was complaining. Still, I knew one thing for certain. Those window coverings would be exchanged for a much darker alternative in the near future if I had anything to say about it.

Jax I had known this conversation was coming all along. Regardless, Willow’s words managed to succeed in startling my thoughts away from the dark path that they were previously headed down. While I was thankful for the reprieve, not looking forward to thinking about Ryker being anywhere near my baby sister without my regulation any more than necessary, I found my trepidation almost equal when I considered the topic that she wanted me to fill her in on. I never wanted to keep secrets from my mate, but I also did not want her to worry about the added difficulties that Ryker had heretofore been keeping me up to date with on top of the stress that Zeke’s reappearance had produced. I found myself stuck between a rock and hard place as I was forced to choose between total honesty and protecting her, both mentally and physically.

Willow After about an hour of practicing, with Jax refusing to so much as kiss me while we were training, we agreed to call it quits for now. He had only managed to go over a few of the basics due to us being pressed for time, but I felt good about what he did teach me during the allotted period. I also thought that it was kind of cute how serious he was about my preparation if I was being honest. Don’t get me wrong, I was just as invested in making sure that I knew how to protect myself, but I did not think one kiss would deter me from that goal. Irrespective, I was in heaven when he finally leaned down and closed the distance between our bodies, smashing me against his chest as he hoisted me up with ease and thoroughly plundered my mouth. He kissed me until I was out of breath, but then he pul
