“Um…Jax isn’t going to be able to make it, he’s got…err…. other plans or something.” I say trying to shrug it off like it doesn’t bother me, but Ronny knows me a little too well.
“Don’t be upset Hun, it’s his loss… and he’s going to be jealous when all of us are chatting about how much fun we had. C’mon the rest of the gang has just arrived!” She says pulling my arm.
“Wait, Ron? Do you think he’s angry with me for what happened today? You know, the whole Chelsea and I thing?" As I say this I realize that probably is the case.
"Shit! He is! That’s why he yelled at me demanding to know what happened right? I should probably apologize for threatening Chelsea…” I say rattling off feeling bad, hoping I didn’t cause problems between Jax and Chelsea.
“Alexia! What the hell? You weren’t in the wrong, she’s been hassling you all week and passing comments, you needed to stand up for yourself so she would stop with her bitchiness towards you. I’m damn proud of you for doing just that! I swear I was trying hard to keep myself from beating her ass for you but I had a feeling you were close to sorting that bitch out.” She says shaking me; literally trying to knock some sense into me.
“Okay! Okay!” I say putting my hands up in defeat.
It was starting to get dark outside, we were all sitting on the patio eating our pizza while Ronny filled the other three in on what happened with Chelsea. They were shocked, I mean… I know I’m small and I’m the smallest of our whole group – they're all quite taller than me do they definitely didn’t expect me to do what I did to Chelsea.
Chloe is just a little taller than I and she warned me the first day of school how she was the butt of all the short people jokes, she also told me how happy she was that I joined their group. Once they got over their initial shock, I was cheered on and appraised with pats on my back.
We finally all settled in the lounge to put the DVD on, of course Ronny wanted to watch a scary movie so she got “Silent Hill: Revelation”, I argued with her the whole way home explaining how scared I get but Drake just chuckled saying that he would keep me safe from the scary monsters. That eased my wariness just a little…okaaay a lot.
Getting the DVD into the player, I turn to see where everyone was seated. Chloe is snuggled up to Ron on the big one seater couch both fitting perfectly, Rachel is sitting with Marks head on her lap, while he lies on the one side of the corner couch. On the other part of the corner couch is Drake, he pats the space next to him informing me where to sit. I sit next to him and he puts his arm around my shoulders and pulls me into him so that I’m cuddled on the side of him, fitting comfortably and perfectly.
I hardly watched any of the movie, I was so scared I had my legs folded to my side leaning against Drake with one of the cushions in front of my face peeking over it every now and then to see what happened when the others gasped when something exciting happened in the movie. Drake chuckled and basically narrated the movie for me while I watched him from behind my pillow -observing his expressions as he watched the movie, every now and then he would catch me looking at him and he’d smile then squeeze me tighter.
The other reason I didn’t exactly pay attention to the movie was because I was too busy thinking about how close I was to Drake and how comfortable I felt being this close to him. When a loud noise came from the TV and Rachel screamed giving me a fright, Drake grabbed my hand, laced our fingers together and kissed it. I couldn’t help but smile at him. Thankfully the room was dark and the only light flickering came from the TV, so he couldn’t see how I was blushing.
I must have fallen asleep because I woke up still cuddled next to Drake with him rubbing my arm gently, I sit up and remove my head from his chest. I look up to find that we’re alone.
“They left about half an hour ago.” He says looking at me closely.
“Shit, they should’ve woken me up so I could say goodbye, what time is it?” I ask him stretching my arms out.
“I told them not to, you looked so peaceful and I didn’t want them to ruin it.” He says. “It’s not too late it’s about 10:30.”
“Thanks Drake, that was sweet.” I say starting to get up.
“Oh no you don’t…I was comfortable with you by my side, come back here babe." He teases as he pulls me back down to the couch, I squeal as his fingers jab the sides of my waist tickling me.
“Miss Eden, are you ticklish?” he says as he pokes my side and I squeal again.
“Maybe…” I say, trying to get away from him but he pulls my leg and leans on top of me so I’m trapped underneath him and then begins the tickling fest, he’s so strong that he barely moves as I try to wiggle him off me so I just lay there laughing my ass off while he’s tickling me.
“Please…stop…I can’t take it …anymore” I say between laughs.
He chuckles but slowly stops and leans on his elbows that are next to my head. I didn’t realize how intertwined we were, his legs are scissored amongst mine, his chest is touching mine but I can feel him holding his weight up to make sure he doesn’t crush me.
Drake is a big guy he could easily squash me beneath all that muscle. His face is right above mine, his eyes sparkling and he’s looking so intently into my own, I can feel his heart beating wild through his chest.
His thumb grazes my cheek and his skin is a little rough but yet so manly, “You are so beautiful Lexi.” he says and I grin ,I can feel my face heating up, so I turn my head to the side so he can’t look at my red cheeks.
“No, don’t hide from me, I just wanted you to know that, you should know that. You know I care about you Lex and… I was wondering if it would be okay if …I kissed you?” he whispers. I can’t even find words to reply to him so I just nod my head and look into his sparkling familiar hazel eyes.
His hand moves from my cheek to the side of my face as he lowers his head, as soon as his soft lips touch mine, my entire body warms up and I get shivers down my neck.
I can’t believe Drake Mathews wants me.
I’m so happy and surprised that he actually likes me. He gives me gentle kisses and he starts pressing his body into mine, I can already feel his arousal pressing against me. I gasp and he takes the opportunity to sneak his tongue into my mouth intensifying the heat. My tongue slowly finds his, my hands move to his neck and I put my one hand in his hair and tug a little as he pushes his body against me hard, then his one hand goes down my body and lands on my ass.
He gently moves that hand so that it’s going under my shirt easing its way higher towards my one breast. I’ve never been this intimate with anyone …ever! I didn’t feel comfortable enough with any of my previous boyfriends, but this…this was amazing! I didn’t want it to stop but I had to before I actually ended up losing my virginity to him on this fucking couch, this feels so right…just a little longer then I will pull away…just.a.little.longer….his body is warm against mine and his breathing is deep and feral… this is bad, real bad …. but it feels sooo good.
I wrap my legs around his waist and push him harder into me, I hear him growl into my mouth and his mouth becomes rougher against mine, his hand that’s in my hair starts pulling my head to the side.
His mouth leaves mine and he starts kissing and sucking on my neck, at one point I thought I felt something sharp against my neck but it was gone all too quickly and he continued kissing his way back to my mouth. All you can hear in the quiet night is our deep breathing and the sound of sweet kisses.
Our kissing slows and our lips are swollen from the heated make-out session.
He pecks me one last time then kisses my forehead slowly leaving his lips linger there for a little longer.
Our chests are rising and falling as we try to catch our breath again.
“Wow…” I say out of breath.
“Yeah babe …, that was intense.” he says as he smiles at me. I giggle and cover my mouth with one hand. He takes my hand and kisses it. He sits up and pulls me onto his lap so effortlessly like I’m a feather.
“Let’s go out on a date? A real one, please Lexi? I want you so bad, please be my girlfriend? I know it sounds like I’m crazy and obsessed and I know this all seems really cheesy but I really wanna be with you, I know we haven’t known each other for all that long but I really do have feelings for you, strong feelings…that I can’t explain and I just feel that I have to have you. I need you babe, you make me so happy when you are around me, please Lexi... be my girlfriend?” he begs as he stares into my eyes.
“Drake, I like you. I know we’ve only known each other for a week and of course I want to be with you but I’ve got to tell you something before we date or anything …because I have a feeling that what I have to say might change your mind…and I'll be okay if-” he interrupts me.
“No babe nothing will change my mind about you ...” he says.
“Okay ….well.” I start off hesitantly. “The thing is… I’m a virgin, and it’s not like I’m saving myself for marriage or anything, I just haven't found anyone worth sharing it with, you know?” I say looking down at our intertwined hands on my lap.
“Lex, that’s great, I don’t have anything against it. We don’t have to rush anything. I know that make out session was something else but it won’t ever go past that if you don’t want it too, and if you do and you want more with me, I’ll be happy and thankful to only oblige.” He says this as his hand touches my cheek and he shows me his dimples with that smile. I melt...
“Thanks, you have no idea how much that means to me, if you honestly mean that then I would love to be your girlfriend.” I say as I smile and feel my cheeks heating.
He gives me another kiss and he tells me how happy he is. He says he’s going to plan something special and next weekend I’m all his.
I love the way that sounds.
After Drake goes home, I climb in my bed, a few minutes later I hear my mom come in and hear her bedroom door close. I start drifting off to a blissful sleep when I hear something tapping against my window. I look at my phone to see the time and it says it’s after two in the morning.
Who could be here at this time?
I sluggishly get out of my comfortable bed, soundlessly walking towards the window hoping mom won’t hear me, moving my curtain to the side I see Jax standing outside with his head down. If I didn’t expect that, I definitely wasn’t expecting to see him with no shirt or shoes on, he’s wearing plain old black gym shorts - nothing else.
Oh, save me.... I can see his perfectly defined six pack, my eyes travel to his face and he's staring at me and his face is filled with emotion, is it sadness? Lust?
No it can’t be…
Without warning he lifts himself onto my windowsill and invites himself into my room pushing me aside…
CHAPTER 10:
JAX POV
The minute I saw her walk into the bar, I thought she was the most beautiful person I have ever seen and I knew that there was something special and different about her, we need to make her ours, my wolf tells me and I surprisingly agree.
As she walked closer and looked around the bar taking in her surroundings, her beautiful eyes showed so much emotion as if she carried the world on her shoulders yet she seemed so innocent.
I watched the mysterious girl the whole night from across the bar, she was looking at our table now and she seemed to be observing my friends that surrounded me. I was sitting with my four friends, Rachel and Mark, who are mates, and Ronny – who is basically my sister yet the fates thought it would be a great idea if we were mates; neither of us believed that we should act on it though and our wolves fully agreed that it definitely wasn’t meant to be.
Ronny was sitting next to the love of her life, her girlfriend Chloe, she knows all about us and she loves Ronny and her wolf Star just as much as they love her.
So basically I’m the fifth wheel tonight, of course my best friend Drake is usually my wing-man since he hasn't found his mate yet but seems like he met a human that he has fallen for, crazy thing is – he has only ever met her in his wolf form and doesn’t even know her name.
He’s not here tonight because he’s gone out to the Waterfall hoping she would show up. That boy is seriously whipped, no doubt I’m happy for him and I guess I’m a little jealous that he’s found someone and feels so strongly for her, even if she is human.
I don’t really keep girls around for long, I get bored quickly and I haven’t really found anyone that intrigues me. I usually “hang out” with this cheer-leader from school, Chelsea is just like any of the other girls who think they’re special to me. She also constantly tries her luck with Drake.
He is quite popular amongst the girls, he looks like a good boy but we all know how malicious he can truly be, he doesn’t hook up with the same chick twice and since he hooked up with Chelsea a few months ago he would never touch her again. He says there are too many girls to go around - he doesn’t have to “recycle them”.
Well… that was Drake before he met the chick at the waterfall maybe he’s changing after all since he hasn’t hooked up with anyone these past few days.
Drake also isn’t really fond of humans so he tends to stick to the were-girls, I think that’s why all of us are quite surprised at the fact that he’s now interested in a human. Drake has a hard time controlling his wolf, my pack has seen it a couple times and most of the times he loses his shit it’s when his wolf, Sebastian, is in charge. I pray he doesn’t hurt the human, I hope he can keep his wolf in check for the girls sake.
I wasn’t fazed that he hooked up with Chelsea, I mean …it’s not like we are in a relationship although she does try hard, plus I kinda hook up with other dolls too and unlike Drake I don’t mind “recycling” as long as they know that it’s only sex - nothing more.
I know I’m a dick and they know it too – I do what I want, when I want and I only answer to my father who is Alpha of our pack. Since I’m going to be Alpha after I finish school people tend to bow to me, girls try to get on my good side and of course I use that to my advantage.
The girl catches me looking at her and I nod my head greeting her and she smiles back, I made her blush and it just makes me smile harder, damn she is perfect. She turns her head clearly trying to hide her blushing face.Wolf hearing is pretty darn amazing, even with the loud music playing I overhear the remark the woman handing her a shot tells her about “ogling” me. I chuckle to myself as she tells the woman to keep quiet and her face reddens again. I turn to my friends not realizing they have been observing my little exchange with the girl across the bar.
“Ronny don’t look at me like that.” I brush her off and take a sip of my Coke.
“You look love-struck.” she laughs and the others join in, clearly never seen me this interested in a girl before.
“You better go and talk to her before she leaves coz by the looks of things they’re getting ready to go.” Mark says as she looks over to where the girl was sitting.
I quickly glance over in that direction as I see her walking through the crowd towards the hallway.
“Guys, I’ll be back now, need the bathroom and gotta check on my aunt.” Ron says as she points at Amber who’s falling all over the place where the girl was sitting moments before.
A few minutes later Ronny comes running to me.
“Jax… I need your help… Greg has his hands all over your girl and won’t let her go, he won’t listen to me and she’s scared man-” before she finishes her sentence I’m already up and making my way over to where my girl is, pushing people out of my way.
As I see his hand go down towards her ass, I see red, my wolf is so close to taking over clearly enraged that someone has their hands on her.
Why the fuck is his hands on her? I’m going to rip him to pieces. Malek, my wolf, growls from within.
I can sense the fear coming from the girl as she struggles to get away from him. I pull her away from Greg as gently as I can and ask if she’s okay. She’s clearly petrified and this enrages me but she’s not hurt and that’s good for Greg’
s sake.
As she rushes into the bathroom with Ronny close behind I decide to have a few words with Greg, he is also part of our pack like most people in this bar, so as soon as I speak to him I see his head slightly bow showing obedience. I see he's resistant though and doesn't want to respect me but has no choice since his wolf does. I pull him out the back door at the end of the corridor. He’s older than me but I’m stronger and bigger.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” I spit at him as I throw him against the wall.
“Nothing is wrong with me , she may be younger than me but she wanted me just as bad, she looks legal and old enough to make her own decisions!” he shouts back, his disrespect making me all the more livid.
“Anyone could see she didn’t want you to touch her! I swear to God Greg, I am so close to ripping your fucking head off! I should kick you from the pack right now you no good piece of shit!” I shout at him, trying to keep my wolf from ripping into him.
“Jaxon you forget, you’re not Alpha YET…. so don’t fucking threaten me boy! What’s so special about the girl? You can have any piece of ass you want, why the fuck are you bitching at me for trying to get with her? I saw it in her eyes, she wanted me ….she doesn’t want a boy …she wants a man and I’m going to get her one way or another!” That’s it, my wolf takes control over my body and I just let him.
As I lunge at him throwing punches, my wolf shouts out, “Don’t you EVER speak about her that way, if I EVER see you anywhere near her or if I find out you touched her again I will rip you apart! I don’t care if you’re part of our pack, do you understand me? I’m not Alpha YET but when I am, you can bet your ass I will make you wish you never spoke to me the way you just did! She will NEVER be yours, she is MINE!” giving him one more punch, he’s out cold.
I should have killed him! Malek says to me still so angry, I know…I felt the same way but dad wouldn’t be too happy about that. I reply.
After washing my hands in the bathroom, the girl from before walks out and collides into my chest. I can’t help but chuckle, she is so small and innocent looking. She has to lift her head up to actually look into my face. She doesn’t seem to notice that she’s staring at me and the way she’s looking at me makes me want to take her right there against the wall. But no…I wouldn’t do that, this girl is too special to be a quick meaningless lay against the wall of a tacky pub.
