Jax calls Iris privately inside his home office to discuss with her, accompanied by Conrad who is curious to understand what is going on. Iris would have loved to exchange pleasantries first but the way Jax reacted to her smile made her rethink what she wanted to do. He continued to look at them coldly even as they relaxed in the office.
“Tell me the full details of what happened in your territory?” Jax asks.
Iris clears her throat, “My father was murdered by a crazy rogue that wants to wage war on all of the packs, he wanted to start with your pack.”
“I’m sorry for what happened to your father, accept my condolences,” Jax says coldly.
“We have to find a way to stop him before he does anything stupid,” Iris says hurriedly, Jax places his middle finger on her lips to stop her from speaking further.
It is then that the warmth of his skin begins to excite her, and she looks forward to catching up with him.
“We will make a risky arrangement for this, we can’t just launch into action with a strong backup,” Jax reasons.
“I’ll agree with you on this one,” Conrad adds.
“Iris, you and the people that came with you will have your rooms where you will be accommodated safely.”
“Thank you,” Iris responded.
Jax leaves with Conrad, his mind is preoccupied with thoughts of Iris. How will he be able to keep her safe, he is aware that whoever murdered her father would want to kill her too.
“I have to protect her at all costs,” Jax says.
“Are you two mates?”
Jax is surprised to hear such a question from Conrad, “Mates?”
“There is a connection I felt between you two when she interrupted the wedding and I’m sure that only this can be the reason why you stopped the wedding.”
Jax’s confusion is inexplainable, “I have never thought about that. The first time I met Iris, she saved my life. I felt something then but I couldn’t comprehend it, my wolf did not confirm if we were mates or not. Could this be why I’ve been thinking about her often? Is it possible for her to be aware of this?”
“Yes, it happened to me. Freya was my mate all this while but I didn’t feel anything until later, she confessed the night that Emily left and I had to reject her. It just didn’t feel right to me to have another woman aside from Emily, I love her with my life, Jax.”
Conrad’s confession touches Jax’s heart, he pats Conrad comfortably on his shoulder. Towards midnight, Jax gets up from his bed and goes to Iris’s room. His mind has been on her since he learned about the possibility of them being mates. Luckily for me, she is also awake, standing on her balcony with a loose night dress on her body.
Jax gulps as he notices her bare body inside the dress, the sexy curves, and push-up breasts aroused his urge. Iris turns in surprise to see him in her room.
“Have you always known?” Jax asks her.
Iris mistakes it for the death of her father, “I always knew that my father would die soon. Everyone hated him but being killed by a maniac was unexpected.”
“Not that, I meant have you always known that we are mates?”
Her body shivers, Jax now knows and there was no hiding it. She feared that he might reject her after learning the truth, Jax has always had this indecipherable aura.
“Jax, I knew right from the first day we met. But you were badly wounded so maybe your wolf was too weak to tell you…”
“Why did you keep it to yourself?” Jax interrupts her, he comes closer to her and tucks her hair behind her ears.
Iris suddenly begins to feel hot, her body is tingling as his hands trail on her skin. Her breathing becomes harder, she prays silently that he will not reject her afterward.
“I wanted you to find out by yourself because I feared you might reject me if I told you.”
“Reject you? now why would I reject you, my love?”
His lips are closer to hers now, their scent is mixed with the warmth of intimacy and strong love.
“But you wanted to tie the knot with another woman,” Iris whines.
Jax lifts her face, their lips are only inches apart.
“I accept that I’m a fool for trying to make such a big mistake, but now I’ve seen a reason for canceling the wedding.”
Her eyes widen in shock, “Are you not going to reject me?”
Jax chuckles lightly, “I will never do it.”
Their lips crash, a soft kiss at first then a passionate kiss later. Iris can feel her skin burning as he lifts her and lays are gently on the bed, her legs wrapped around his waist.
Jax tears off the nightdress, exposing her sexy body. He squeezes her breast tightly, Iris moans in ecstasy as his touch revibrates her skin.
“I’ve waited for this moment ever since that first day,” Iris mutters.
“I’m all yours, baby. Is this your first time?”
She nods shyly, and Jax smirks softly at her. She is a newbie and he is willing to take her paradise this night. Parting her legs softly, Jax licks his lips as her clean view turns him on even more.
“I would have loved to eat you raw tonight but your body might be too fragile for me, I’ll go deep inside you and make it more memorable.”
“I love you, Jax.”
“I love you more, Iris.”
He pushes in his cock inside her wet core. Iris wimps as it hurts at first but a pleasurable feeling comes after. Jax begins to thrust in and out of her, and their slow rhythm and moans fill the room. The feeling of intimacy overwhelms Iris as he begins to fasten his pace, a tight knot starts to form in her belly and she feels the urge to release. Her legs tighten harder around his waist, Jax notices this and goes faster, he is about to release too.
“Cum for me, baby,” he whispers. Iris does not understand what he means, she simply releases her body and the juices squirt out. Jax releases inside her at the same time and to her surprise, he marks her as his mate officially.
