The Lycan king-Chapter 78

*Leonora*

I dropped the plates on the rack to dry out and walked back the counter where Jax was still seated.

"How is your planning going?" He asked and I sighed. I basically left everything for Bethany as I didn’t even want to stress myself.

"Bethany is my wedding planner." I said and he nodded. "She offered and I accepted. I think she’s just doing it because she doesn’t really have much to do. We mostly just lounge around, watch movies and take walks."

"Have you really thought about what happens after the coronation?" He asked me and I shook my head. He leaned down, putting his hand in between my legs and grabbing onto the stool. What exactly was he trying to do? He pulled the stool closer to him and I giggled. I honestly had a different thought in my head.

"Honestly, no. It’s so crazy that we have to talk about getting pregnant with the council. It feels like some invasion of privacy. Is that how it is? You have to tell them everything?" I asked and he shook his head.

"I don’t tell them everything. I keep some things to myself. If you do get pregnant, I won’t say anything until I’m sure that everything is fine with us." He said and I smiled. "Do you think you’re ready for kids?" I shook my head. Jax and I were just starting to sort ourselves out and I didn’t want to bring a child into the mix just yet.

"I think we should wait for the right time. Have you thought about it? I asked and he nodded. "You want to be a dad?" I asked causing him to smile. I felt a warm feeling bubble in my chest. "You really want to be a dad!" I exclaimed.

"It’s something that I’ve thought about multiple times since the day we mated and I kind of thought you would have noticed that day." He admitted and I smiled warmly. "I really want to have a child. Maybe even two."

"Twins?! I don’t think I’ll be able to do that." I said and he chuckled. "One child is already a lot of work, imagine having two at the same time."

"Do you think I’ll let you handle it alone? You know we are doing this together." He assured me and I smiled. "I want to be in my child’s life. I want to play with them, sing them to sleep."

"Don’t forget the late nights. You really want to do that?" I asked and he nodded. "When i was teaching, i used to get frustrated being around so many children at once. It was like a punishment."

"What if i want a big family? Imagine six children running around the house." He joked and I gave him my sassiest look. "I’m just playing with you. I just want one first and we can see where it goes from there."

"Boy or girl?" I asked and he placed his hands on his cheek to think for a moment.

"Girl and I’ll love to call her Nova. Like Nora." I smiled at the idea. I never really thought of names or even the child I would like to have. I wasn’t really good with planning. "And I really pray that she would look like you. She’ll have your eyes and my face because I’m hotter."

"Who told you that?" I questioned as I rolled my eyes. "You’re not that hot."

"Says the person who kept herself for me." He teased and pouted. It was partially true. I kept myself for him because he was my mate. "That was another thing that made me like you. Your discipline and self control is through the roof. Well, your self control is wavering because you like the way I touch you." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Like you don’t like how I touch you." I sarcastically said as I placed my hand on his thigh. I let my hand move until I got to his waist. I took my hands away but I could see the small tent in his jeans. "That is proof."

"Oh come on. We’re trying to talk and build our friendship and you’re seducing me. Is it fair?" He asked me and I smirked. "Do you want to have some wine?" He asked as he got off his chair. I nodded and he walked over to the pantry. After a few minutes, he came out with a bottle of wine and two glasses. He placed the glasses on the table. He opened the bottle and poured into both cups. I grabbed one cup and took a sip, humming at the sweet taste.

"This was the wine we drank that time. I got extra bottles for us after that day." He said and I smiled as I took another sip. "I think we should hang out more often. It’s nice for us to just sit together and have some time to ourselves."

"I know. We could have dinner together every day." I said as I placed my elbow on the table and rested my head on my palm. "You can tell me all about your day." I finished the remaining wine in my cup.

"You’re going to get drunk quickly with the way you’re gulping down that drink." He pointed out and I shrugged. "Will you stay with me tonight?"

"Are you going to leave me all through the night? I like falling asleep next to you and it kind of hurts when I don’t." I said with a pout. "Are we really good now?"

"Definitely. I hate us being apart from each other. I like sleeping next to you and holding you but if we spend the night together, I think we shouldn’t." He asked me as he poured some wine into my glass for me. I took a sip out of the glass.

""Why?"

"Because you said earlier that you want us to build our relationship and friendship and we can’t do that if we are too close. I easily get turned on by you so I can’t hold you to sleep."
