The Lycan king-Chapter 67

*Leonora*

Jax turned off the gas behind me and walked closer to me. I stepped to the side, not wanting to touch the cooker but he kept on cornering me until I was backed up against the counter.

"I’m not going to let you go." He said and I scoffed. "Are you crazy? What is your problem with me? We are going to end it here and now."

"Jax step away from me." I warned him but he inched closer pushing me up against the counter. I could feel the edge of the counter dig into my back and it hurt. "Jax, step away from me." I pushed him but he didn’t budge.

"Your fucking insecurity is going to end here." He said and I could feel my eyes water at his words and also because of the pain. I just wanted to leave. "When I tell you something, you shouldn’t question me. I said there’s nothing going on and that’s it."

"J-Jax." I called out, trying to move away so that the edge of the counter would stop digging into my back but Jax didn’t give me a lot of space. I sighed defeated and opted to bear the pain and just let him do whatever he wanted. It’s not like he would listen to me in the first place.

"Leonora." He sarcastically called. I wanted to just go to my room and lock myself. I didn’t want to be around him. His hands snaked its way over to my cheek, pulling my head close to his. He leaned down and kissed my cheek. "How can I have something to do with Claire when all I think about is you?" He held my hand and placed it on the front of his jeans. I could feel him hard against my small palm. "Do you think she would ever make me feel this way?"

"Jax, please just let me go." I begged and he kissed my other cheek. I pulled my hand away from him not wanting to give him the impression that I was interested. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"I haven’t slept with anyone since that night and I don’t think I ever want to. I don’t know what you did to me." He said as he kissed from my cheek to my neck. He must have noticed that I wasn’t interested causing him to pull away and stare at me. "Come here." He pulled me into his arms and he hugged me. I don’t know why that gesture opened the flood gates and I let go of the tears I was holding.

"I don’t think you can commit to me." I admitted through my tears. "You’ve been with other people and I don’t know. I don’t think I’m enough for you."

"Don’t say that. Please don’t ever say that." He cooed as he rubbed my back. "Let’s go to the couch. It’s okay. Cry it out." He said as he lifted me up and carried me over to the living room. I wrapped my legs around him not wanting to let go of him. He sat down with me clinging on to him.

"Leo, you’re more than enough for me." He assured me. "Nothing is going on with Claire or anyone else, okay? I really want us to work and we can’t if you don’t trust me."

"Then why did you lie about Claire?" I said as I sat up and wiped the tears off my eyes.

"I know you don’t like Claire so I try my best to keep the both of you apart and I honestly was trying to find the right way to break it to her." He admitted and I laid down in his chest. "I hate seeing you like this. You know that you are more than enough for me."

"Then why don’t you want to teach me what it’s like being a Queen?"

"I don’t care about that. I like you just the way you are and I think you’ll be the perfect Queen." He said and I sighed. "I have gotten to know you and I wish I did earlier. It would have saved us some of all these drama. It’s all my fault."

"It’s okay." I said as I tried to get off him but he held me down.

"Don’t leave." He said as he wrapped his arms tightly against me. "I’m really sorry for everything. I’m sorry for making you feel like you can’t trust me. I promise you that there is nothing going on with Claire or even that girl."

"Her name is Rachel." I corrected him and he chuckled. "It’s fine, to be honest. I think I just needed to let it all out."

"Next time, just come and talk to me. I’m not the monster that you think I am." He said and I pursed my lips. He was partially true. He wasn’t as bad as he used to be and it was a bit refreshing. "How about I make us tea and we cuddle and watch something in your room?"

"Aren’t we going back?"

"I told you. We’re not leaving here until everything is settled." He pointed out and I chuckled. I was feeling a lot better but not completely better. I didn’t totally trust him even though that was what he asked of me.

"We could do something else." I said as I sat up. I rode my hips on his and I could feel him grow harder than before. He leaned his head back as he smiled. "Have you really avoided sex since?"

"I don’t think you know what..." His voice trailed off as I leaned down and kissed his neck. "What you did to me." He struggled to finish his sentence. I pulled away from him and watched him and he took deep breaths. "We have to stop now. I don’t think I can hold myself back. Three months was a really long time." He sat up and looked at me.

I leaned down to his ear, biting it lightly. "Don’t hold back. I’m all yours."
