Jenna’s P.O.V.
I would say that the glass of wine I had back at the restaurant was giving me the buzz that I seemed to be in, but I knew the way I was feeling right now, had nothing to do with the wine, and everything with the man who was running down the steps right now. Maybe the wine just let me lower my guard down low enough for me to relax and enjoy this moment instead of overthinking every single step.
God...
If I would have known Adam would be a sex God,
I might have taken it to the next step in High School that one night that we had shared...
As soon as he got back into the kitchen, he was standing back in between my legs, his teeth nipping on my bottom lip because apparently, I had been biting on it when he had walked in without even knowing it myself.
“I want you all over again.” His chuckle rumbled against my lips as they met mine again with a lot mo
After 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
