He smiles at me in this goofy, happy sort of way, something I haven’t seen him do since I met him, and I’m guessing he doesn’t do that a lot.
“Hey,” he says.
A smile touches my lips. “Hey.”
He presses against my back, guiding me toward him and giving me the hug he sought. “We did this in my dream, you know,” he says, his breath lightly kissing my ear. “Only we were sitting in the grass underneath a tree.”
“That sounds kind of nice,” I admit. “This is nice, too.”
“It really is. I just wish I didn’t have a headache so I could completely enjoy it.”
“Are you hungover?”
“Yeah? You?”
“A little bit. Hunter’s making breakfast, though, and insists that’s going to help.”
“It will.” He traces his nose against the arch of my neck. “You smell so good.”
A shiver rolls through my entire body. And when I say through my entire body, I mean, my entire body. Like I can actually feel the shiver between my legs. It’s a strange sensation that makes me feel all squirmy.
“You okay?” His lips brush against my neck again.
“I’m fine.” My voice is soft, and my heart is beating swiftly enough that, with his lips so close to my pulse, he might notice.
“Your heart’s beating really fast.” He leans back and looks me in the eye. “Are you sure you’re okay?”
I bob my head up and down. “Yep.” I’m not sure if I am, though.
I feel … Well, I’m not sure. It’s definitely something I haven’t felt before.
He quietly sighs before slanting away to look me in the eye. “I like this.”
I angle my head to the side. “Like being woken up by me?”
A warm smile graces his face. “I do. Not that I’m a huge fan of getting up this early, but if I had to, this is definitely the way to go.” He loops his arms around my waist. “But I actually meant this. You living with us. You being able to come wake me up because you’re living with us.”
His words make my heart feel all gooey and warm.
“We’ll see if you’re still saying that after a few days,” I joke, because his niceness makes me uncomfortable.
Keeping one hand on my waist, he brushes strands of hair out of his eyes with the other. “Trust me; I’m one hundred percent certain my feelings aren’t going to change about this.”
We’ll see.
We’ll see.
We’ll see.
I keep the words trapped inside my mouth since he appears fairly adamant about this.
A yawn works its way up my throat, and Jax frowns.
“You’re still tired,” he says. “Did Hunter wake you up?”
I shake my head. “I woke up on my own, but I usually don’t wake up this early. I think it was just because of the storm.”
He sketches his fingers along my jawline, and wonderful goosebumps sprout across my skin. “Do you want to go back to bed?”
