Jovita's POV I check my leather wristwatch for the third time. My besties are almost thirty minutes late, and I'm getting irritated. Maddie had asked us to meet at our favourite restaurant, the Queens, for a nice lunch, and to catch up on the latest happenings. I wasn't really in the mood to leave my house, but Maddie would not hear of it. I kinda woke up in a very bad mood.Jayden woke up and apologized for yesterday's argument, and for returning so late, but he won't still talk. What's wrong with him? Why does he have nightmares?I want answers to these questions, but I can't get them. He won't talk and I won't ask, because I'm ignored each time I ask.I'm getting quite frustrated with this whole thing. I'm not sure how long I can keep up with this.Jayden and I have not yet mated, so we don't share the mate bond which means I could still reject him as my Alpha, and he could reject me too. I hoped it would never come to that, but at this rate, I might just quit.I'm still brooding
Jovita's POVBetty rolled her eyes, and adjusted her hair, though it didn't need the adjustment.“It's simple, make him want you”, she said.I look at her like she has gone crazy. If she was talking about sex, then my answer is a total no. I don't want to have sex yet.I know I'm nineteen, quite old enough, and most of my age mates, including my besties, were not in the virginity club, but I wanted to keep myself until I was sure. I kind of believe that it is a gift I would give to my mate when the time is right, or rather when we are ready to bond forever. “I'm not asking you to sleep with him, I'm just asking you to make him want you”, Betty intercepted, like she had read my mind.“How do you know what I was thinking?”“I'm a mind-reader”.“Seriously?”“No. I just guessed it's quite obvious from your facials.“Okay. So how do I make him want me?”“It's simple, play the game. Besides, you should know sleeping with him is the easiest solution”.“How?”“The mate bond. Once you guys bo
Jayden’s POV When I open the door, I notice the room is dimly lit. Jovita is surely prepared to play with my senses tonight. I look around the room and find her sitting in front of her dressing mirror, brushing her long black. I'm still trying to compose myself, when she stands up, places her leg on the chair, and starts applying ointment on her skin. “He…y”, I stutter, unsure of myself. “Hey”, she replies throwing me a charming, dimpled smile, and focusing her attention on what she's doing. I take a step closer, then stop, thinking about my next move. I know this is a trap, but hell, this is one alluring trap. “I'm sorry for how I acted yesterday”. “How did you act yesterday?” She gives me a quizzical look, coming to sit on the bed. Damn, I knew this was going to be hard. “I mean, I shouldn't have reacted that way when I saw you with Seth because I left you in the first place, and staying away all day was not good either”. “Oh, that. Why're you apologizing now though?” Her
Jovita's POVJayden goes to stand by the window. “I'm not sure you want to know about my past Jovita, it's too dark, even for me”. His voice is low and broken.I walk up to him and wrap my arms around his waist, and I feel his body still, then relax against me. I could hear his heartbeat thumping in my ear.He turned to face me, taking both of my hands in his. “Promise me you'd stay even after everything you hear”, he asked.His hazel eyes searched mine, and I could see the fear deep within.“I promise”.“Come with me”.He leads me to the bed, and lies down, instructing me to do the same. I look at him, unsure. The dark lust I see in his eyes doesn't make me any less anxious.“I'm not going to fuck you Jovita, at least not without your consent”, he says, laughing.“Fine”. I lie down beside him, and he immediately wraps his arms around me, pulling the sheets over us. “Close your eyes”, he whispers.I obey, though I already have a thousand and one questions I want to ask.“Do you fee
Jovita's POV I open my eyes to see Jayden staring worriedly at me. “What's wrong?” I ask, sitting up. I notice it's morning already. The Rolex wall clock Maddie gifted me on my 19th birthday reads 1:00 am. Was I unconscious for that long? I only saw a little. I notice the area of the bed I'm lying on is soaked. “You've been out for too long, and your body is burning”, Jayden says in a soft caring voice. “I shouldn't have let you see it yet. I'm not sure you're strong enough”. Okay, that explains the wetness of the bed. I'm sweating badly. “I didn't see much, so don't worry”, I tell him. The creases on his forehead increase, and he pulls me into his hands. “What?” I ask against his chest. “You took so long to see very little and used up a lot of your energy. You're not returning until you're ready”. His tone is bossy and final, so I decided not to argue with him. Showing me his memories in the first place was a great act. My heart is still broken by what I saw. Jayden had a mis
Jayden's POVI stare at her apprehensively, while she gives me a quizzical look. “Fine, I'll tell you alright, just calm down”, I tell her. Stealing for time. I have to make her very happy before I break the news to her. It won't be easy to tell her I just killed her ex-best friend.“You better have a very good explanation. You left the house before daybreak, and now you're returning at dusk”, she mumbled, walking towards her room.“Have you had dinner yet?” Maybe I could start by making dinner, I reason.“No”. She looked surprised that I asked.“Can I make something for you?” I walk up to where she's standing on the stairs and pull her to me, my eyes scanning her body. She's wearing a short sleeveless, polka dot dress that perfectly highlights her curves. On her feet are a pair of white Zara slippers, and black hair is falling down her back in wavy curls. She looks appealing.She smiles. “Why're you suddenly wanting to make me dinner?”“Do I have to have a reason to? You look amazin
Jovita's POV I waited patiently as Jayden took his shower, the nightgown I wore barely covering my thigh. I had no problem wearing it, but Jayden was a door away. Just thinking about that made my heart pound. And then there was his amazing body, abs as hard as rock, biceps firm and strong, clenching and unclenching as he'd closed the door behind him."Jovita" I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of Jayden's voice and I looked up. I couldn't believe I spent all that time thinking about him. I turned to him just in time to catch his hazel eyes roaming my body, his dark hair dripping wet and rivulets of water running down his chest, abs, and arms. Everything about him screams smoking-hot.I shiver, not because of the cold, but because of him. My heart is beating wildly, and my anticipation is killing me. He gulped visibly and I felt my stomach turn at his sight. I got up from the bed slowly, each step I took forward was like walking on air itself, everything felt unsteady, ha
Jovita's POV “Are you okay?” Jayden asks, placing a kiss on my forehead. “Did it hurt? Are you okay?”“I'm fine”, I assure him truthfully. It had been painful at first, but now I feel fine.“You know I love you right?”“I do”.He kisses me again, then lies on his back. A worried expression spreads on his face.“Is something wrong?” I ask, worried.Was I that bad? Did he not enjoy our lovemaking? I'm nervous right now.He probs himself on one of his arms. “Don't say that my love, it was good. It was better than great, it was the best”, he answers my thoughts.I roll my eyes. He's only saying this thing because it's me. I'm sure he has been with more experienced girls that know what to do, and when to do.He turns and takes my hands in his. “Look at me”, he says. I obey.“Those other girls were good, true, but I never loved them. I love you, and that's all that matters”.“You sure?”“I'm fucken sure”. He places a kiss on my forehead.“Why do you have a worried expression on, then?”
