I take it, eyeing him.
“Well, some good news finally, our eye candy is fuckable,” Lexa purrs in my head, watching as he finishes getting ready for work.
I roll my eyes at my horny wolf.
“We are not looking for a rebound, and I am damn pregnant,” I tell her.
“Axton was not a mate but a one-night stand. He made that perfectly clear when he put that video out. Mates don’t hurt mates! Therefore, it became nothing more than that. So, Jake can’t be a rebound when our mate was a prick. We rejected him. Doesn’t mean we have to become celibate. Either you take him, or I will,” Lexa tells me, licking her chops and making vile noises in my head.
Ignoring her, I turn my attention back to Jake. “And we are not going to talk about how you lied to me for three years?”
“I never lied to you. I lied to your father. Had you asked instead of believing the drunken ramblings of Alisha, I would have told you,” Jake tells me.
I try to think back to everything I know about him. But he is right. I’ve never known him to have a boyfriend; he has never spoken of another person.
Chapter
Fifteen
Jake had to walk out of town to the silos two days ago, after Alisha left, to retrieve his car. She left the keys on the back tire for when she returned. Once it was clear she wasn’t returning, Jake walked out there to retrieve it and bring it back to his apartment.
It didn’t take him long to get there and back. He is in shape, and I’ve noticed he goes jogging every morning and afternoon. Having returned from his morning run, I hear him walk into the bedroom.
“Jake? Is that you?” I call out from the shower.
He pushes the door open and wiggles his eyebrows at me. His scent is strong, his shirt drenched in sweat from his morning run.
“Jake!” I snap at him, trying to close the shower curtain, but he yanks it open.
He pulls his shirt off and drops his pants, and I look away, turning my back on him.
“You should be used to nudity being a shifter,” Jake tells me, stepping into the shower behind me and readjusting the head.
“I am. It is your nudity I am not used to,” I admit. Not that it bothers me. The man looks like he is carved from marble—as if the Goddess have carved him to perfection.
“I could get used to his nudity. Damn, he is mighty fine for a human,” Lexa purrs in my head, urging me to take a peek at him when I feel the heat of his chest pressing against my back as he reaches for the soap from the niche.
I shuffle forward, closer to the wall.
“What’s wrong, Elena? Does my proximity make you nervous?” he laughs, pressing his lips to my shoulder.
“No, it’s just different. I’m not used to you being so touchy. Especially now that I know you were lying about being gay.”
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t attracted to him.
“I never lied. You made up your own assumptions about me,” Jake tells me before I feel his hands on my back as he washes me.
“Jake!” I hiss at him and his roaming hands. I glance at him over my shoulder when he grabs my hips, spinning me around to face him. His eyes trail over me, looking over every inch of me with no shame at all.
“I don’t get why it’s so shocking that I want you. And you can get used to it. Now that I have you all to myself, I no longer need to hide how badly I want you,” he tells me, crowding closer.
“I am a werewolf. You’re human, Jake,” I whisper as he presses himself against me.
“So? It doesn’t change how I have always felt about you.”
“We can’t, and you are confusing my wolf.”
“Lexa will come around to it. To the idea of me,” he tells me.
