Chapter 201
We hadn’t moved from the couch since I got back from seeing my gran. No one interrupted us, no one dropped round, it was just the two of us enjoying each others company. That was until his phone started ringing.
“Peace shattered”. He muttered getting to his feet and taking the call in the kitchen. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. Something he always did and it bugged the hell out of me. It was like I wasn’t allowed to hear what he was talking about.
Everything always had to be so secretive with him.
Turning off the tv I grabbed my backpack and headed upstairs. I figured he’d be a while because let’s face it he always is when he’s on the phone.
Dumping my bag on his bed I grabbed a clean towel from his drawers and rummaged through my overnight bag. I was down to my last clean pair of pjs and my last clean pair of panties.
“Why’d you turn the oh”. He smirked snatching the panties from my hand. “I’d pay good money to see you in these p>
“Shut up”. I grinned already feeling the heat rush to my cheeks. “I’ll need to drop by my grans and pick up more of my stuff can you please stop doing that”. I went to grab my panties that he was swinging around his finger back. “I’m keeping these p>
“Those are my last clean pair p>
“You got dirty ones?”. He grinned.
“You’re disgusting”. I snatched my panties back putting them in my bag. “Who was on the phone p>
“Just Jack giving me an update. You going for a shower p>
“An update on what p>
“Nothing for you to worry about p>
“Don’t do that”. I frowned. “Don’t shut me out”. I lifted the towel holding it against my chest.
“He was giving me the all clear from his patrol which I’ll then pass onto Rocco for the night patrol. Nothing exciting Leah p>
“So why not just tell me that p>
“I didn’t think it was a big deal”. He frowned.
“Okay”. I shrugged. “I’m going for a shower. Should we order takeout?”. I wondered how long it would take before he remembers he was meant to be taking me to dinner. “Fuck”. He sighed. “I was meant to be taking you out for dinner p>
“It’s not a big deal p>
“We can still go p>
“I can’t be bothered. I just want to shower and then study a little before bed p>
“Pizza p>
“Perfect”. I smiled.
My eyes felt they were going to burst out my head. I had been studying for what felt like days and taking nothing in.
I was done. Pushing my books off the bed they landed on the floor with a thump. I knew this stuff so I had no idea why I was getting myself stressed.
I guess it was normal right?
Getting off the bed I took my dirty dishes and left over pizza downstairs. Jack had dropped by earlier and was still here. The two of them sat in the kitchen a beer in their hand. “Leah”. Jack gave me a nod but wouldn’t look at me.
Weird.
“Hey, do any of you want this before I bin it?”. I looked at Jake but he was glaring at my bare legs. Yeah I forgot to mention I put on one of his T-shirts instead of my pjs. Call me crazy but I slept better in his clothes.
“I guess not then”. I dumped my leftovers in the bin before putting my plate in the sink.
It was just a pair of legs. It’s not as if they hadn’t seen a pair before. What was the big deal?
“Can you get I turned around only to bump into his chest.
“Can’t come down here like that when people are over”. Eyes blazing he placed his hands on the counter top trapping me in.
Rolling my eyes a sigh fell from my lips. Was he really pissed because I came down here in only his T-shirt? Everything else was covered. It wasn’t like my ass was hanging out. “Roll your eyes one more time princess”. His eyes bore into mine the brown disappearing the black setting in.
“I didn’t know Jack was still here”. I whispered placing my hands on top of his.
“Not that I don’t like the view but it’s for me to see and me only. I don’t want anyone else looking at what’s mine”. I could hear the rasp in his voice, the change in his tone.
The temptation to roll my eyes was to much so instead I leaned up placing a kiss against his cheek. “It won’t happen again I promise”. Anything to keep the big bad wolf happy. “I pride myself on control Leah but when it comes to you I have none. It’s hard to control not only me but my wolf also p>
