The Lycan king-Chapter 72

*Leonora*

I stared at my mark in Jax’s bathroom mirror. It had healed up during the whole session and anytime Jax kissed it, it lit up a fire inside of me. I don’t know how long we had been fooling around but I knew that it was already night time. I’m pretty sure Bethany knows what had happened. I didn’t care. I wasn’t on heat anymore and I felt a lot better.

I heard the door open and a few movements. "My love." I heard Jax call and I smiled. He was mine and I was his. There was no going back from this. I chuckled to myself at that statement. "Baby."

"I’m coming." I called out as I wrapped the robe around my body and tied it tightly. I walked out of the bathroom and was met with a table of food and I saw sushi along side the mix of food.

"You look so beautiful and all mine. Come over here." Jax gestured to me as he sat on the bed. I walked over to him and sat on his thighs. He held me close to him as I wrapped my arm around his neck. "I can let you wear that pajamas you wore that night. The strapless one. I want everyone to see your mark."

"And I want everyone to see yours." I said as my eyes moved over to the little mark on his collarbone. It was almost non existent but it was something that anyone could see if they were up close. "So that they can know that you are all mine."

"I’m all yours, baby. All yours." He said as he kissed my cheek and move all the way to my mark. I pulled away from him and got up. I didn’t want to get turned on again. "Okay fine. I get the hint." I walked over to the chair and sat down, Jax joining me just after. "I feel like a child. We are officially mates. Well not officially. We still have the coronation left."

"I don’t think we should rush into that." I said as I began eating, not wanting to continue the conversation about the coronation.

"The annual ball is coming and you’re meant to plan it. It’s tradition." He said again and I hummed. I honestly wasn’t ready for this kind of conversation while I was wearing only a robe. "I’m expecting some kind of answer from you."

I swallowed. "Okay, I’ll plan it with Bethany. I just need a bit of time to relax and calm myself."

"Okay." He placed a kiss on my cheek. "I would like-"

"Jax! Can all formal discussions wait until we’ve rested and processed all that happened today?" I asked and he nodded frantically. I honestly didn’t mean to snap but there was a right place and time for everything and right now wasn’t the right time.

"You sound sexy when you snap like that." He said and I smiled. "I get what you mean."

We ate in silence until we were done. After that we both stumbled into bed. My body still ached from everything we had done and I honestly needed to sleep it off.

"Now you can’t run away from me and you’re now going to be living with me. I’ll tell Bethany to bring your things tomorrow." He said as he snuggled into me. He placed his head in the crook of my neck and inhaled sharply.

"I can get them myself tomorrow." I said and I felt him smile against my skin. He placed light kisses on my neck and I know it was a cue. He wanted to have sex again and I didn’t. I had been trying to avoid this situation but it’s probably not going to stop if I don’t say something. "Jax, I’m tired and by tired I mean I’m sore and I don’t think I can have sex until I rest." I said as he pulled away. He moved to the other side of the bed and I could hear his deep breaths.

"I’ll be back." He got out of bed and walked over to the door. "Lights on or off?" He asked me.

"Off please." I answered and he switched off the light. I watched as he opened the door and walked away. I wondered where he was going to and why he acted so weird. This wasn’t the first time we were having sex but it was the first time we were having sex for this long. I didn’t even know how I was able to handle it but Jax had been so sweet, caring and a little bit rough. I liked it weirdly enough. The way he choked me and whispered dirty things in my ear during my orgasm.

I shook my head. I didn’t want to put all those thoughts in my mind. I had enough for the day or maybe a whole week and I needed to recover. I knew I was going to have to spend tomorrow in bed doing nothing but resting and maybe I could have the conversation that I postponed today.

I was now officially Jax’s mate. It felt surreal and I did a little dance on the bed. If someone had told me the beginning of this year that Jax and I would build a relationship, I would call them crazy and ask them to get help.

I looked at the door and waited for Jax. I wanted to fall asleep in his arms and just enjoy the moment. One thought stood tall in the back of my mind. Was I really in love with Jax? I hadn’t thought about it that much. I know us mating and my coronation is all for his benefit and it made me wonder if he really loved me like he said he did.

Now I felt worried, Jax hadn’t returned and I was waiting for him. I prayed he wasn’t seeking comfort in another woman’s arms because that would break me.

I don’t think I’ll be able to cope with that.
