JAX'S POV
After seeing Lorraine in that state, I never wanted to see her cry again. I knew there was no going back with my wolf already obsessed with her every call; I was hers before she even completely knew it.
It isn't long till I reach the station where I'm needed. Immediately seeing the hunched frame of my two friends, they both peer up at me with smug, knowing looks on their faces. And mischievous smirks I could spot even from a mile away.
"Damn.. we know she's yours, dude. Chill out," Michael mutters first. "We can practically scent her on your skin," he calls with arms up in surrender.
"Good," I say, surprising them both; they must have expected me to try and deny it. But I wanted everyone to know she was mine, and I couldn't keep myself from her anymore, not when my wolf was already so drawn to her.
"I've lost to her, moons; I'm so in love with her; she is everything I could ever dream of, fuck," I mutter, still in disbelief at how I've been truly enamored by Lorraine; I was irrevocably hers, even if she doesn't want me. I was hers wholly.
"Jax, this is amazing. I cannot believe you've finally found your partner; I mean, I can, but you both are so perfect for each other. I'm so happy for you, man," Michael called with a pat on his shoulders.
Brady, on the other hand, jumped into Jax's arms. "You both are perfect for each other; the moon goddess chose well for you, brother," he called with a tap on my shoulders.
It was bittersweet knowing we were missing one more person, the person who would have teased me through hell and back, till we had all then burst out in laughter, Hayden, but I knew he was watching and proud of our decisions and how we saved the slivenight pack.
We were then interrupted by one of the young deltas who bowed to us, informing us of suspicious movement of rogues around the night territories. Our Luna had left us in charge and trusted our judgment; we couldn't fail her or let her down; we needed to protect our pack people, especially now I had someone special to protect.
The rogues never saw us coming; we attacked with stealth as shadow wolves were trained; they were no match for my men, as we captured the rogues, who immediately surrendered and swore allegiance to our Luna.
We aimed to make peace with all realms, making it a little less dangerous for the innocents who just want a normal life, one that Elise envisioned. After the raid, we headed back to the pack; we were all filthy and tired from the raid, and I needed a shower, yet my feet took me to the clinic first. I see Nora, who tells me that Lorraine was back at the cabin and waiting for me.
For the first time in a long time, I felt my nerves eat me. What if she wanted to leave? Did she not feel the connection we have? Fuck, I needed her here. My thoughts spiraled till I reached for the door.
" Lorraine?" I called the quiet apartment. I felt filthy enough, taking off my shirt as I climbed up the steps, and I was surprised to see her in my room, sitting on my bed and looking so sexy with an innocent grace about her.
She gives me a small smile, which I return, "Hi... I heard you went out to scout the pack territories."
"Yeah, we had a problem with rogues."
"I, um, took the liberty of running a bath for you; I'm pretty perfect at that; um, it was kind of my job back at Kyrens' so..." she called with an awkward scratch to her nape. I knew she was trying to help. I walked forward, bending to take her lips-not a short kiss, one she leaned into with surprise.
"Thank you, I need it; wait for me, ok?" I tell Lorraine, who nods with anticipation and a smile on her face, that she was so ethereal, how could I leave her here? "On second thought, my hands feel sore, and I need someone to help me wash the dirt out, can you?"
I see the blush spread on her cheeks as she slowly nods to me. Fuck, she was so tempting, but I bite back on that need for her as I head for the bathroom with Lorraine right behind me. The moment I reach for my pants, she shyly turns around and faces the wall instead.
My wolf wanted her to see everything but didn't want to rush my shy little Omega just yet. I pulled my pants off and got into the tub. I couldn't help the groan of satisfaction slip out. She was right about having the talent for preparing the perfect bath.
"I'm all in the water, darling; you can turn," I tell her. It gives me pleasure to tease her and see her small shoulders flinch before she turns. Walking to the bath, I watched her sit on the edge of the tub before she ushered peppermint oils into my hair and began washing.
My body shuddered, and my member hardened with each stroke of her hands into my hair. I could see she was reacting, from the obvious blush to her cheeks and the shy way she tried not to stare at my torso as she washed my hair, but I knew I needed to clear up any other misunderstanding before I take her.
"About last night," I start the moment she rinses my hair. I grab her hand, kissing the insides of her soft wrist. "I will never regret making love to you; that was the best night of my life, Lorraine. I'm sorry I didn't explain it better," I say curtly.
I could see the doubt in her eyes. "What if you get turned off me? What if-" I didn't let her finish, dragging her fully clothed into the water till she was fully dunked in and straddled on my lap. My hands reached for her nape as I mashed our lips together, meeting in perfect and wet bliss.
"Don't you get it, I love you, Lorraine; there can be no one else but you; I fucking love you," I mutter, placing another kiss on her lips, cheeks, and wet eyes as she had begun to cry.
"So can I be selfish? Can I only want you for myself? Because I want you so freaking much Jax, I've never felt like this; I need you so much or I'll go insane," she mutters to me, and I could feel my cock harden to her words, my wolf eager that she wants us.
"Then, my darling, let me show you the love I have to offer; let me fill that need in you," I called, kissing her sweet cherry lips again, this time reaching to take off her already wet dress.
I was ready to give my all for my beautiful mate, ready to make sure she felt treasured. Forever.
