2024-10-29 19:42:56After what we just shared, I knew I should try to explain to him about my hesitation to get close to anyone, my flight mode that seemed to overcome me, every time something bad in life would happen to me. How hard it was for me to let anyone in, even though I had already let him into my heart without knowing it. I just couldn’t point out when he had weaseled his way into my heart exactly. But right now, I already felt as if we had come to a point where in some sick way, I would only end up hurt in the end.
Because that was the way my life had always gone up until now. I loved someone, and somewhere down the line, the person I loved left me, lied to me, or eventually did both.
“You tire me out, Gorgeous,” Adam told me, leaning in to kiss me on the forehead. His lips might have just kissed me out of affection, but right now, his lips felt more like a brand on my skin. As if somehow, I was now truly his. I softly ran my fingers over his che

Adam’s P.O.V.The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm, golden glow across the room. I lay on my back, staring up at the ceiling with a cocky grin plastered all over my face. Last night had been nothing short of amazing, and I couldn’t help but revel in the afterglow of our shared passion.Next to me, Jenna was lying on her side, her tousled hair spread like a silk curtain over the pillow. Her breathing was slow and rhythmic, a testament to the deep slumber that was still holding her in its gentle grasp. I couldn’t help but admire the delicate curve of her cheek and the way her lips, slightly parted, sometimes whispered things that I couldn’t quite make out.Last night had been a whirlwind of emotions and sensations, one I hadn’t wanted to ever end. I knew that eventually, the realities of life would intrude, but for now, I just wanted to savor every second of intimacy and conn

Jenna’s eyes widened even more, as she hastily pulled the tangled sheets up to cover herself, while my mind was racing to comprehend why on earth Blade would be here, and why he was pounding on my bedroom door like a maniac. Panic coursed through me as I fumbled for my discarded jeans on the floor, pulling them on as quickly as I could. Jenna somehow had gotten up from the bed as well, looking around the room as if she were looking for a way to escape or hide herself.“Stay here,” I whispered to her, seeing how she was blushing furiously.God, she looks so freaking cute right now.I reached the door, unlocked it, and yanked it open just as Blade was about to deliver another thunderous knock, his fist in the air next to his head.“Blade, what the hell?” I hissed, rubbing sleep from my eyes. Blade just flashed me a mischievous grin, his disheveled hair and wild eyes making him

Jenna’s P.O.V.I never thought I would find myself in this situation, caught in bed with a man and then nearly getting caught by his younger brother. My heart had nearly jumped out of my chest when Blade had come banging on Adam’s bedroom door, and I had hastily tried to cover myself up with the tangled bedsheets while hiding myself in the corner of his room.Please, God… I want to die!Because here I was, sitting on the edge of the bed now, with my hair all messed up, and Adam beside me looking probably equally disheveled after the night we had shared. The encounter with his younger brother Blade was still fresh in my mind. And I couldn’t help but feel a mix of embarrassment and anxiety. My heart raced, and I wrung my hands together, trying to put my jumbled thoughts into words.“Adam,” I began tentatively,“Do I really have to go down there and face your entire family

Blade, sitting next to Skye, grinned mischievously at his turn.“Yeah, Adam, we never knew you had it in you, pushing us out of the house in order to drag her in behind our backs.”Oh God…Did Adam kick out his siblings, because he is in fact ashamed of me?Maybe he didn’t want his siblings to know about me, and he just got caught?Koda, who seemed more quiet this morning than I had known him to be in the past, looked over at me as if somehow, he was sensing my upcoming panic attack.“Guys, leave her alone. Let her eat in peace, at least.” He sighed before he got up from his chair and walked to the oven, picking out bacon before placing it on a plate that he put in the center of the table. To which all men leaned forward, attacking the bacon like a bunch of wild animals.“I’m happy to finally have another girl in the house. And I’m happy fo

Adam’s P.O.V.As breakfast came to a close, I watched Gran turn to Jenna while I was putting the dirty dishes into the sink.“Jenna, I must say, you’ve passed the family breakfast test with flying colors.” And I sighed contently, thinking back at how easily Jenna had placed herself in the middle of the family. I could already tell everyone loved her and had already accepted her, making my wolf stick out his chest filled with pride, knowing his one true mate had just done that.“I hope to see you again, very soon, dear.” Gran smiled at Jenna as she got up from her chair, and walked over toward me as she patted me on the shoulder as if to tell me 'atta boy'.“I am heading back home, Mindy is coming over so we can get some coffee and discuss the latest town gossip.” Gran grinned at me, leaning in even closer.“And next time you want to use me as an excuse, at least let me know so I ca

As the kiss deepened, the world outside seemed to fade away, and it was just Jenna and me, lost in each other’s presence. Our hands found their way to each other’s backs, her fingers grabbed my shoulder as my fingers got tangled in her hair, pulling each other even closer, deepening the connection even more.As we broke the kiss, our foreheads gently rested against one another. I gazed into Jenna’s deep blues, a warm glow of affection washing over me. In that quiet, small kitchen, bathed in the sun’s soft rays, we both knew that our connection was something truly special. And with a soft smile, Jenna whispered to me.“Adam Miller, I think I’m falling for you.”Be still, my heart…While I wanted to shout it from the rooftops, throw her over my shoulder, and drag her back into my room to have my way with her all over again. I forced myself to just lean in and kiss her forehead, letting

Jenna’s P.O.V. I sat on the edge of my hotel bed, my fingers anxiously tapping the smooth mahogany surface of the nightstand. The room cast long shadows that danced across the cream-colored walls. I had spent my entire day at Anderson’s Construction, immersed in a whirlwind of meetings and site inspections. Now, all I wanted was to escape the sterile office atmosphere and the weight of responsibilities that came with it. My eyes darted to the clock hanging on the wall. Adam was running late. He had promised to pick me up from the hotel once I was done with work. I reached for my phone, tempted to call him, but hesitated. Maybe he was caught in traffic, or perhaps he was just held up at school. I didn’t want to add to his stress, not today. With a sigh, I gazed out of the window at the small town below. The view offered me some solace, a distraction from the thoughts that gnawed at me. I couldn’t escape the feeling of unease that

I took the key from my purse and turned the key in the lock, and with a soft click, the front door of my Uncle Ben’s house swung open, revealing a dimly lit interior. Adam and I stood at the threshold, hesitating for a moment as the weight of what lay beyond settled upon me. The house smelled musty now, like a place that had been closed up for too long. Stale air filled my lungs as I stepped inside, memories flooding my senses. It was as if the very walls held the stories of my childhood, a testament to the life my uncle and I had shared here. I closed the door behind us, the click echoing loudly through the empty hall, and I took a cautious step forward. The wooden floors creaked beneath my feet, greeting me like an old friend. I couldn’t help but be transported back in time.***It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, the kind that seemed to last forever. The sun streamed through the lace curtains, casting delicate patterns on the

“How is your uncle’s house going?” Koda asked me, walking toward a cooler and grabbing a can of soda for himself. And I took a mental note that since Adam had just installed the refrigerator, I guess we could start loading the fridge in as well, once the boxes were all emptied out.“Good. It’s actually done.” I smiled, referring to my late uncle Ben’s house. I had taken some time to think about my options on what to do with the house that I had grown up in. But once the decision had been made, I had been over the moon and unstoppable.“And we also named it.” I smiled, seeing how Koda’s eyebrows rose up, making him look just like Adam.“I named it ‘Uncle Ben’s Inn’, in his memory.” I smiled, thinking back at the way my uncle’s old house had once looked back in the day, and how I had transformed it into a small bed and breakfast.

Jenna's P.O.V.6 months laterThe sun streamed through the big windows of the kitchen, overlooking the backyard and the woods in the distance, casting a warm glow across the hardwood floors of Gran’s old house, or as we now said; our house. It was a bittersweet morning, one that marked the ending of one chapter, and the beginning of a whole new chapter in Adam’s and my life. Today was official moving day, and we were finally ready to call this place our home.Months of hard work had gone into the remodeling of Gran’s house. Together with Anderson’s Construction, Adam and I had gone into the remodeling of Gran’s house. Together, we had transformed the old, creaky place into a cozy haven of our liking. It was our labor of love, a testament to our commitment to each other, and to the new life we were building together.I walked into the kitchen, savoring the scent of fresh paint and the p

Jenna’s P.O.V.I blinked, waking up and feeling disoriented for a moment because somehow my brain for a second still thought that I was back in Chicago in Jules’ apartment. But as my consciousness slowly returned, I became acutely aware of a new sensation souring through me, bringing me right back into Fairview, into Adam's room.I somehow felt different waking up, but it wasn’t the kind of different that would send alarm bells ringing. It was a good kind of different, a sense of profound calm and security I had never experienced before.The memories of the previous night flooded my mind, the raw intensity of Adam’s mark, and his declaration of claiming me as his mate, forever. The connection we shared had always been undeniable, but somehow seemed nothing compared to what I was feeling for the man right now. I could feel his energy, his warmth, like a warm undercurrent in my veins before I had even touched him or

Adam’s P.O.V.Fuck, if my little mate was about to keep this up, I would blow my load like a fifteen-year-old looking into his first Playboy magazine. My eyes rolled back all the way to where they could probably see my own brains, feeling her bare for the very first time. The tight clench of her pussy, her wetness, fuck… I could even sense my precum marking her already, my scent nesting inside of her. My fucking canines were already coming out and I was only just inside of her.My hips had found a glorious rhythm of rocking in and out of her. The wet sounds of our fucking, the cracking of the bed on the wooden floors, the sweet sounds she was making as I hit her G-spot stroke after delicious stroke, it was all too much for me right now.“Where do you want me to bite you, baby?” I panted, knowing that right now, I wasn’t able to hold on for much longer.

Jenna’s P.O.V.Damn, this man is good, better than good.Hell, does the right word even exist?No… I honestly don’t think so.He slowly climbed over my body, his lips crashing against mine. The weight of his body on mine, the warmth of his skin pressing on me was almost enough to send me over the edge once more. My hands ran down his cheeks as I stopped him for one moment, long enough to look into his eyes.“I want you to mark me,” I told him, letting him know about the final decision that I had made about my future before I got on the plane back to Fairview. Yes, this had been my decision and mine alone. I wanted to be with Adam, that much was true, but I wanted to be with him in every way human or supernaturally possible. I wanted every part of him. And I wanted to be his just as badly as I wanted him to be mine.

Adam’s P.O.V.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself and my wolf. I couldn’t help the grin that almost split my face in half, and how my heart skipped a beat and then started to pound like a wild horse. It really felt as if Jenna coming back to Fairview had also brought me back to life after being dead for a week straight. Fuck, I loved this woman with my whole being. And now, I knew for a fact that that was never going to change because she had just told me that she was going to stay right here, with me.When I had seen her sitting on my front porch, I had wanted to race to her immediately. I had wanted nothing more but to scoop her up into my arms, carry her inside the house, and lock the door behind me so she wouldn’t be able to run away from me anymore. But I hadn’t acted on my own selfish feelings or those of my wolf, since at that point I hadn’t realized why she had returned just yet. I mea

I took a deep breath, my questions all coming in a rush now that I knew I was able to ask them.“What does it even mean to be a werewolf? How does it affect you, and your family? How does it affect our relationship?” Adam leaned back, his expression thoughtful as he considered how to explain.“Being a wolf means that we have the ability to transform into wolves whenever we want to. It’s a part of our family history, a secret we have kept to protect those that we care about.”“How does it affect our relationship?” I asked him as he smiled at me. A warm smile filled with love.“In my world, every wolf has one true mate, sort of a soulmate. Wolves are extremely loyal creatures, they find their partner and they stay together for life. It means that no matter what happens, I will always find my way back to you, Gorgeous. Because you are my one true mate. Or as wolves say, you are mine. That

Jenna’s P.O.V.I had just revealed my decision to Adam, as we were sitting on the sofa inside the living room of his family’s house, strangled in each other's arms. I watched his expression closely, anticipation gnawing at me as I waited for his response to me telling him that we had bought his grandmother’s house and that I had done it without his permission. Adam’s eyes widened in surprise, as he stared at me in disbelief.“You… you did what?” She stammered, clearly taken aback by my revelation. I nodded, my heart pounding with nervous excitement, hoping to God that I had made the right choice by doing this as a gift to him.God…Please don’t let him get mad over this…“I know how much that house means to you, Adam,” I explained, reminding him of the conversations we had had about the place. Hell… I could still see t

“I have been searching for you all afternoon,” I confessed to her, my eyes locking onto hers. Jenna’s expression softened at my statement, and surprisingly, she reached out and touched my hand as if she wanted to apologize that I hadn’t been able to find her any sooner.“I’m sorry,” she told me before she swallowed deeply.“I was at Anderson’s Construction almost the entire afternoon for an emergency meeting with the staff.” She added before she looked away from me again. Which made a lump form in my throat that I absolutely hated, because what on earth could be so bad that she needed to look away from me when she would tell me this?“I…” She sighed, pressing her lips into a thin line, while I braced myself for impact.“I decided to sell my uncle’s company.” She nodded, and my heart sank at her words. This was exactly
