Chapter 207
I had never slept so good. Never once waking up through the night. I was snug lying on Jake’s chest listening to his heart beat.
For the first time in ages I felt like everything was going to be okay. All the worries gone, no stress, no what’s ifs and no thinking I wasn’t good enough.
I was the only one good enough for him.
“Keep doing that and I’ll have to go for a cold shower p>
I froze pulling my hand away. Right now I couldn’t stop staring at the V line between his hips. Moments before my fingertips running up and down his happy trail. “I like a cold shower baby p>
Heat spread over my cheeks as I tried to hide my grin. I knew he was encouraging me to continue. Poking his side I went to sit up only to be pinned beneath him. A gasp fell from my lips as I felt his member pressing against my thigh, a smirk playing on his lips as our eyes connected.
Face scarlet I hated that I couldn’t hide. My heart bursting in my chest just with the way he was looking at me. This definitely had to be some effects of my wolf. “Where you going?”. He whispered moving my arms so they were pinned above my head.
“J-just to sit up”. My voice soft my eyes flickered towards his lips and then back again. “I I trailed off not knowing what I was going to say.
Our bond had always been strong but my feelings for him were bursting at the seams. I couldn’t describe how besotted I suddenly felt with him. “You feel different?”. He bent his head his eyes never leaving mine.
“Yeah p>
“I thought you might”. He smiled before placing a kiss on the tip of my nose. “You want coffee?”. He rolled off me and got to his feet.
“It has something to do with my wolf right p>
“She has a part to play yes p>
“My feelings for you have changed”. I whispered.
“Changed?”. The tone in his voice caused me to look at him. I didn’t miss the confused look or the dip of his eyebrows.
“My feelings for you have always been there but it’s like they’ve grown overnight. I feel like my hearts going to burst just by looking at you”. Confusion gone a hint of a smirk played on his lips. He was enjoying hearing me say that.
“I’m trying to be serious Jake p>
“It’s normal babe. You have nothing to worry about p>
I frowned. “So if I wasn’t a wolf my feelings wouldn’t be as strong?”. How did that make sense?
“They’ve heightened, they haven’t changed or grew overnight. You’re more sensitive to it because of her but you’ve always felt this way Leah p>
He wasn’t wrong but something had definitely changed. I knew my own body, I knew my feelings and what I felt.
Jake Taylor had taken over my mind, body and soul and I wasn’t sure how I felt about it.
“Now coffee p>
“Yes please p>
As he left the room I grabbed my phone from the bedside cabinet and texted Alanna.
‘Can you meet for lunch p>
I knew Jake was going to drag me to the training ground for most of the morning but I had to talk to someone else about this. Preferably a girl.
I still felt slightly embarrassed about it all. I had never felt like this with anyone not even Tommy and I thought I loved him.
I hadn’t thought of Tommy in a while.
Sighing I threw my arm over my eyes. I couldn’t stop thinking and overthinking about it. I couldn’t wrap my head around it all when in fact I should be embracing it and watching how good it was going to be for our relationship. Let’s face it I wasn’t always the easiest to be with. We fought, argued and had many disagreements. Now it was time to enjoy what I had and watch it grow.
I was tired with always being at each others throats.
Hearing him on the stairs I removed my arm from my eyes just as he entered the room.
“Stop overthinking it and just enjoy how much you’re falling in love with me”. It was his stupid grin that made my heart flutter. Now if he said that to me yesterday I’d have come back with a witty reply. “You’re enjoying this way to much”. I took the hot cup of coffee from him and brought it to my lips.
“Damn right baby”. He winked.
