Eye for an Eye (Take a Chance #2)- Lisa Helen Gray Page 0,86
doesn’t matter to me how the room looks. I’m just grateful for her kindness. But she is determined for me to feel at home and not feel like I’m just sleeping over. She wants it to be our place.
It’s overwhelming, to the say the least. I have so many people looking out for me, who care about me and love me.
There’s even been a change between me and Wyatt. It isn’t anything he has done as such, just something I can sense. It’s a good change, and yet bad at the same time. I never believed Wyatt was looking for a relationship, not at the start. From rumours and whispers, he never did more than a one-night stand, and if a girl was lucky enough to get more than that, it was only because it was great sex. Nothing more. I had assumed I was the latter. I was wrong.
It’s no longer just sex between us. He doesn’t have an invisible expiry date on our relationship, an end date in mind. He’s all in. There is no halfway. Someone who doesn’t plan on sticking around wouldn’t stay every night. They wouldn’t spend all their free time with you, and they wouldn’t make future plans. Wyatt is doing all of that and more. He isn’t avoiding the future, he is building one. He makes sure to let me know with not only actions but with words that I am his and he is committed. If I wasn’t already lost in him, I definitely would be now.
There is nothing holding me back now I have cut Andrew out of my life. However, Wyatt not only deserves to know the truth, but he has a right to know. Keeping it from him this long was wrong, but also cruel. I just wanted something more to give him before I told him everything. He needs to know I’m not the bad person, and I have to show him proof of that. And from what I know of the Hayes family, they respect loyalty, and my loyalty is with them.
Rebecca and I are going to go through the rest of what we have put together later today, and hopefully, together, we will find something useful.
We have to.
I told her the other day that I couldn’t keep this secret from Wyatt much longer, not when my feelings for him continue to grow and consume me.
“You seem in deep thought,” Wyatt muses.
I smile, kissing the wolf tattoo over his pec. It’s one of many of my favourites that he has.
“Just wondering if we have time to lie here for another five minutes before you have to go to work.”
“I’ve got more than five minutes for you,” he groans, rolling me onto my back and situating himself between my thighs.
I run my fingers through his unkept hair. His cock twitches between my thighs and it brings a smile to my lips. He woke me up with his mouth between my legs this morning, which led to great morning sex. Him wanting more so soon only makes me giddy.
Sadly, he has to work, and I have the day off.
I groan into his mouth. “You’ll be late. Jaxon was pissed at you yesterday.”
“He was only mad because Lily had morning sickness and he thought I’d be there to give the boys their assignments for the day. We were both in the wrong for not coming in. He was angrier at himself because he hates seeing her sick.”
I poke him in the ribs, causing him to grunt. “You’ll only regret it afterwards,” I tell him, knowing he will. After seeing the dark circles under Jaxon’s eyes and how much it seems he has aged, Wyatt spent the day on eggshells, constantly keeping an eye on him. It was unsettling, and each of the Hayes members could feel the tension in the air and knew something was up.
As far as I know, no one but Reid and Wyatt know, but I’m sure Wyatt asked Jaxon the other the other day if they had told her parents and their mum, and he said yes. Though I could be wrong. But the siblings can feel something is going on and each of them is wary about leaving Jaxon. Eli was called out to help with a job, but he looked reluctant to leave, his gaze wandering to Jaxon. It was the same with Wyatt, which is why I’m not going to let him be late again.
