I laughed at the silly joke Jax just finished making. I know I shouldn’t let myself get this comfortable but I still wanted to experience his niceness even if it was just for a day. He was laughing beside me and I smacked his shoulder as he leaned into me. During the course of our breakfast, he had moved his chair closer to me saying that I was distracting him but I could not tell if he was lying or just using it as an excuse to get close to me.

"Okay, so now do you think I’m a terrible person?" He asked and I nodded. There was no way that my opinion of him would change. He was literally Jax- the cruelest man in this pack and everyone knew that.

"Yes! Would a nice person hook up with someone while their mate is in the same room?!" I asked and he chuckled a bit. I picked up the glass of wine, he poured for me and took a sip. "Why do you have wine in the mornings? This is so bad for your health."

"I didn’t think you were awake!" He answered as he swayed lightly. "So, you heard me?"

"I heard everything. Especially how you kept moaning my name." I leaned closer to him, resting my forehead by the side of his head and brought my lips close to his ears. "I loved hearing the way you called my name." I heard him groan as I pulled myself off him and relaxed on my seat. He turned to look at me and we stared at each other. I could see the gears in head turn as he contemplated his next move. I don’t know if it was the wine but I really wanted him to kiss me. I wanted to feel his soft lips on mine but I could only dream because as he closed his eyes and leaned closer, the door opened and he pulled away quickly. We both turned to the door and Claire walked in. She looked around the room with a frown on her face.

"What is going on here?" She asked, jealousy clearly evident on her face as her eyes zeroed on me and I quickly got up from my seat, almost stumbling on my own feet. "You’re drunk?" She asked and I nodded. I knew if I lied, she would make it worse. "And you, what is wrong with you?" I wanted to tell her to stop speaking like that. She was being disrespectful towards Jax and my wolf wanted to howl at her and tell her off. She turned back to look at me and I took a step backwards. I glanced over at Jax who just sat there and let Claire say whatever she wanted. I wanted to tell him off but I couldn’t. This was their territory. "Take out all these dishes, wash them and go to the conference room. You won’t be staying here anymore. Take that blanket and pillow to the laundry."

"Claire." Jax called her, causing her attention to shift over to him. I watched as her body relaxed at the mention of her name. "She’s not leaving. She’s staying here with me." Jax said as he got up from his seat. He walked over to Claire and leaned down to whisper something in her ear. I watched as she smiled and rolled her eyes. She whispered something back at him and I was curious. What were they talking about?

"Take the tray and place it in front of the door. I’ll get someone to pick it up." Jax said as he turned back to me. "Also, you can take a nap. We’ll talk later." He said as he pulled Claire out of the room. I don’t know why I was so confused about that interaction. I don’t know if it was the wine but something was off. I stacked all the plates and trays and took it out of the room. I really needed to have my bath but my clothes weren’t here yet.

I walked over to his bathroom and looked around. I saw someone’s underwear by his sink and I knew it was possibly for the girl he brought last night. I picked it up and dumped it in his trash can. There was no way I would let her keep her things here. I looked at all the products in his bathroom and realized I could just have my bath and maybe steal one shirt. He wouldn’t mind. Besides that’s what people in a relationship would do. Were we in a relationship?

NEVER!

I could never be in a relationship with that man. I walked over to the bathroom and I locked the door because I didn’t want him to barge in and find me naked. I don’t think his self-control will as high as I thought. I took off my shirt and my pants, riding myself of my underwear. I folded them and kept it on his sink. I would get it washed and dried later, or maybe Bethany would help me with it. I don’t know. I got into the show and turned on the water. It was cold and I stood under the water, letting it flow freely as I picked up his shower gel from the rack and squirted it on my hand. I rubbed it all over my body as I didn’t have any sponge or loofah to use. I tried my best to wash away every dirt and grime.

Sometimes I wished I could wash myself away.

I rinsed my body as I didn’t want to spend too much time in his shower. He hadn’t given me permission to use it. I stepped out and used one of the towels on the towel rack to cover my body. All I really wanted to do now was to go to bed. I could feel a slight headache coming up and I didn’t have any pain killers. Would Painkillers work with alcohol?

I definitely didn’t want to make myself sick.
