Chapter 22: Chapter 22

LAUREN……

I looked up and saw a pair of beautiful smoky grey eyes staring back at me. It was Jace. Oh, Goddess! What if he smelled my arousal? What would he think of me? What do I do now? I just wish the earth yawned and gulped me or just wanted to disappear from here.

I noticed Jace's eyes darkened as he sniffed the air. I felt a warmness against my body. I looked up and found two pairs of grey eyes looking at me with piercing and intense gazes. I knew he could smell my arousal. He bent to my face level and stared right into my eyes, his piercing eyes were boring a hole into my soul.

"Why are you so aroused, babe?" Jace whispered into my ear very sensually making me shudder.

"You are making me lose my control, Lauren." He hissed which made my heart skip a beat.

"What are you saying, Jace?" I breathed with my racing heart.

Without saying anything he closed his fingers around my wrist and pulled me into a room. Closing the door behind us he pinned me with the door. I was so stunned that I just kept standing there with my chest heaving up and down. I was staring at Jace trying to understand what he wanted to do with me. His intense eyes were giving me all the immoral ideas.

So before he could do something I pushed him hard. "Have you lost your mind, Jace? Come to your senses, for God's sake." I yelled at him. And saw him raking his fingers through his hair.

"I'm sorry." Saying that without looking at me he just dashed out of the room and I collapsed on the floor holding my chest.

"Is he into me? I think I have to stay away from him. I don't want to give him any wrong signals. Though I have never given him any wrong signal ever but we can't stop someone from growing feelings, right? It'll be a great problem if he falls harder, so before anything goes wrong, I have to keep my distance from him." I made up my mind and went back to my room.

I changed into my PJs and then went to bed to sleep. As soon as my head touched the pillow I fell asleep.

I woke up to a stunning morning, went out to the balcony, and found that sunlight was painting the balcony with warmth, and instantly my spirit lifted. I heard the door knock and the next moment a click sound of the door unlocking was heard. My head snapped at the door and I saw Jaxon entering my room.

"What are you doing here?" I scoffed at him. I felt irritated seeing him early in the morning after what he had done to me last night. How dare he show his face in front of me.

"Whoa! Why are you in a bad mood early in the morning, darling?" He advanced towards me and I glared at him.

"I feel irritated seeing you. So get lost from my sight." Yelling at him I started going into the closet but a strong grip around my wrist made me halt in my tracks. Before I could say something he pulled me with a sudden force making me collide against his chest. He slipped his free hand around my waist and held me close to him.

"Are you angry at me for last night?" His voice was so soft that it gave a stroke over my heart making my heart flutter.

"When you know the reason, why are you even asking?" I said offendedly. And I heard him chuckle. I should have felt angry for laughing at my misery but my heart fluttered with his sexy chuckle. He let go of my other hand and touched my face.

"Don't be angry with me, my love. You don't have any idea how my heart felt when you ignored us." Jaxon's gaze was so intense that for a moment I felt like drowning in his eyes.

"Then you should also know how I feel when you ignore me." There was a pain in my voice and I saw his eyes softened. He pressed his forehead with mine and we closed our eyes.

"I'm sorry." He breathed.

"I didn't mean to hurt you, my love. I just wanted to give some time to our relationship." He whispered and I stayed silent. What relationship? Do we even share any relationship between us except that I'm his surrogate mother?

I pulled away and looked at him. "What are we, Jax?"

Jaxon blinked his eyes blankly. And I understood he also doesn't have any answers. We aren't mates. And he has a wife and a Luna. There is no place for me in the frame. It is only possible if he divorced his wife and renounced their bond then I can become his Luna and wife. Otherwise, there is no way I will become his mistress.

"There is no rush, Jax. You have time. Give a thought to this question. If you don't find any then don't come to me in the future. You are allowed to come to meet the baby but not me." Saying that I pulled away from him and went inside the closet.

I closed the door and leaned on it. Tears welled up in my eyes and I covered my mouth to prevent the sob from coming out of my mouth.

I didn't want him to listen to me crying. I heard the door closed. And I let out a relieved breath. "Today I suddenly realized my status. I can't live the life of a mistress for the rest of my life. I also have dignity. If he cannot give me the status of his wife then I cannot live with him." I made up my mind determinedly and got freshened up.

When I came out of the closet a gasp left my mouth as I found James sitting on my bed.

"Now what does he want? Don't tell me he also has feelings for me. Are these Knight Brothers insane? Why are they all into one girl?"

Oh, Goddess!

Where am I stuck!!!
