Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Well of course he does” he replies full of Alpha confidence.
Rolling my eyes I laugh as I walk round and drop him a lingering kiss, feeling a sharp shock go through me I gasp as I pull back looking to Jax seeing his face looks as surprised as mine before breaking into a grin.
“Almost your birthday” he teases before pulling me in for a longer softer kiss.
“Is there anything you need help with for tomorrow?” I ask as we pull away from one another.
“I’m not going to ask you to plan your own party Nova” he replies rolling his eyes. “But no, it’s all under control. Or rather I should say Alice has it all under control.”
Gulping I look at him nervously, “should I be worried?”
“Maybe” he chuckles.
“So I won’t be here tonight love, I’ve got to go to my parents as I’ve got some family visiting. Mums offered me to stay the night so I’ll be back tomorrow at some point” he tells me.
“Oh” I reply trying to not let him see the disappointment in my eyes, shaking my head I continue, “yeah no of course. Say hi to them for me, are they coming tomorrow?”
“Definitely, they’ve been badgering to meet the new pack members but with everything going on I wanted you to have less to worry about” he explains.
“Thank you” I say shyly to him knowing I’ve had a lot of my mind.
“Anytime, come on I thought we could spend some time together before I have to go” he says pulling me up and out the room.
“What would you like to do?” I ask.
“I have a plan” he shrugs not giving anything away.
Hearing that my heart speeds up in excitement as I follow him. Walking through the forest I see we are heading down the path towards the lake, “swimming?” I ask him playfully.
“No” he smirks back.
Continuing in comfortable silence we reach the end of the path and I gasp as I cover my mouth in surprise. In front of us is a picnic blanket set up in front of the lake with some lanterns dotted around. “I thought we could watch the sunset together” he mumbles nervously scratching the back of his head. “I know tomorrow is a really big day for you so I thought it would be nice to just spend some time together and talk.”
Smiling at his thoughtfulness I twirl to look at him, “this is beautiful, thank you Jax.” I pull him in for a passionate kiss as are mouths move expertly together. Feeling his hard body press into mine I moan as I clasp my hands into his hair holding him close.
“You taste amazing” he breaths, “in fact you know how I said you smell of raspberry’s and mint like my favourite summer drink.”
“Yes?” I ask pulling away looking at him in confusion.
“Look in the basket” he grins.
Looking at him again with a smile I turn and open the basket before gasping when I see the bottle of raspberry and mint summer cocktail, “oh my goddess you brought it!”
“I wanted you to know what you smell like to me, cheesy I know but..” I kiss him again before he can finish what he’s saying.
“I love it” I whisper against his lips. “Come on let’s drink.”
We sit there for a couple of hours enjoying each others company and talking about our childhoods before the sun begins to lower in the sky. “Come here” he says patting the ground between his legs. Moving over his leg I snuggle in between them with my back against his chest, “this is my favourite time of day” he murmurs in my ear making me feel tingles all over.
As the sun sets the still lake shows a perfect reflection of the sky, enhancing the streaks of pink, orange and yellow, “it’s beautiful” I breath.
“Like you” he murmurs making my heart skip a beat.
“Wait” I say jumping up and picking something up off of the far side of the blanket. Showing him my phone I smile nervously, “I want a picture..I don’t ever want to forget this.”
“I can take one” he says going to stand up.
Laughing I push him back down, “no turn around.” With that he spins looking at me quizzically as I set my phone up on a pile of rocks, “ok it’s going to be a timer, so in 10 seconds you need to smile” I say.
“I always smile” he laughs.
“For me you do” I reply cheekily making him nod his head in agreement.
“Ready?” I ask him.
“Go for it” he replies as I push the timer and race back to sit beside him. He wraps his arm around me tucking me into his side so my head is nestled into his chest and with his other hand he reaches over and holds one of mine tightly. The camera goes off and I jump back up to go have a look at the photo.
As I pull it up I gasp and my eyes tear up, “you ok?” He asks softly as I sit back down beside him.
Looking at the picture I see the happiness radiating from us both as we fit perfectly together smiling at the camera, the sky over our heads shining a warm glow over us making our eyes sparkle.
“It’s perfect” I whisper.
“You’re crying” he says softly as he wipes a tear away. Holding the phone to my chest I smile up at him, “I didn’t expect to get emotional over a photo” I chuckle.
“But you did, why?” He asks.
“Because we look truly happy and carefree..” I trail off smiling again as I choke up.
“I love it, I..” he stops abruptly but I know what he stopped himself from saying.
“I know” I whisper giving him a soft kiss.
We sit in each others arms till the sky is dark above us, “I really should get going” he grumbles as he begins to pack everything away.
