Natalie screamed at me and hugged me tightly when I gave her the plane ticket to France. Then she talked about all the hot guys she was going to hook up with.
Jaxon got more broody than usual when he heard that conversation, and he hugged me a little tighter. He can be very sensitive at times.
Skyler was also very excited about the trip. Ezra had to stay behind, but he thought it would be a great break from all the “stupid shit” he had to deal with. He also said he was going to France to see his older sister, who wanted to meet him there with her friend. I didn’t even know Skyler had any brothers or sisters, but I guess their relationship was rocky, so he didn’t talk about her much.
Ezra didn’t seem to like her very much.
After a long goodbye and a makeout session between Ezra and Skyler that I really didn’t want to see, the six of us—Natalie, Skyler, Maisie, my mom, Jaxon, and me—got on the plane. First class!
I could tell my mom was uncomfortable being the passenger instead of the flight attendant, but I think she was excited about the whole thing. We finally landed at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris after about nine hours. Thank goodness Maisie and Skyler slept through most of it. Because they are both so childish, those two have been getting along well.
I also really hope I didn’t hear Skyler teach Maisie how to swear…
We get our bags and slowly get two taxis to take us to our hotel as soon as we land. Since our hotel was right on the canal, we ended up taking another water taxi.
The state of the rooms was a whole other story. Jaxon said he would pay for the hotel, but he had to choose a fancy hotel that costs more per night than we pay for our house each month. There are huge beds in each room that are bigger than a king-size bed, and granite countertops in the bathroom.
He also said that my mom and Maisie had to share a room, that I had to stay with him, and that Natalie and Skyler each had their own room. Thinking about how much that will cost per night makes me sick to my stomach, let alone how much it will cost for the whole week.
“Jaxon, this is crazy,” I say again, trying to get it through his thick head that four hotel rooms is way too many and not needed at all.
“Baby, I want everyone to be comfortable,” he says again as he gives his ID to the man at the front desk, who is getting ready to give us our room keys and show us to our rooms, which are all on the same floor.
I groan as I mess with the handle of my big suitcase. I made sure to pack extra clothes and some books to read before bed. It was a little heavy, but that’s why I have a werewolf friend who can carry it for me.
The employee tells us to leave our bags where they are and that they will be taken to our rooms shortly after Jaxon confirms the reservation.
This place is nice.
The employee then tells me about the hotel’s amenities, and I just stand there in shock. Can we get massages here?
I want one.
This place is nice.
The man is making me more and more excited about the hotel. I’m still angry that Jaxon is spending so much money, but it’s already gone and I just want to enjoy this trip. I can’t wait to order room service and drink some fancy champagne while looking out over Paris. Of course, I’ll have to explore Paris first.
This is one of the places I want to visit before I die, and Jaxon is making my dreams come true in more than one way.
We are told to take the elevators to the top floor of the fancy hotel. The four rooms are all next to each other, but Jaxon and I’s room is at the end of the hallway and a little further away.
I look at him with interest, and he just smiles back.
My mom holds my sleepy sister and tells us that she will take a nap with Maisie and then they will join us in a few hours. We took an early morning flight, and now that it’s about four in the afternoon, we’re all tired and want to sleep.
We chose to eat at the hotel restaurant tonight. For the rest of the week, we’ll be exploring Paris. I say goodbye to my mom, Skyler, and Natalie with a hug. I’m really happy to be here!
Natalie says, “I might be downstairs when it’s time to eat, so just text me.”
“Why are you going downstairs? Do you not want to be alone? I’m sure you could stay with us—”
“Calm down, girl,” Natalie says with a laugh. “I want to go to the bar and find a hot guy or something. Trust me, I’m very happy not to have to share a room with anyone.”
“Oh my,” I say, my eyes getting wide at what Natalie said. “Just be safe, okay?” I say to her. I want her to be careful because we’re in a different country.
Skyler says, “I’ll hang out with her for a while.”
Natalie crosses her arms in front of her chest and says, “I’m fully capable of looking out for myself, bitch.”
I really try not to show how I feel, but it’s almost impossible. Natalie still doesn’t know that Skyler and Jaxon are werewolves, and she never will. The council made an exception because my mom and Maisie are the family of the Luna. They shouldn’t even know.
I guess I have to go to that council and talk to the werewolf representative. I think they just want to make sure I’m a real Luna and won’t tell anyone that the supernatural exists. That’s why Natalie can’t know.
I was worried about meeting Jaxon, but he told me it was just a formality and that he would be with me the whole time.
Skyler replies, “Well, I’m still coming, bitch.”
“Okay, you two, I’m glad to see you’re getting along. I’ll see you in a few hours,” my mom says, then goes into her and Maisie’s room.
Jaxon takes my hand and pulls me down the hall to our room.
“They’ll be fine,” he says in a light tone, and then he pulls me toward our door while Natalie and Skyler argue.
I roll my eyes, but I think it’s better to hide in our hotel room than to watch my two best friends fight over who is stronger.
Jaxon unlocks the door with the key. The room is all navy blue, gold, and velvet, which makes me think of royalty. The bed is huge, and when I walk into the other room—yes, there is more than one room in this hotel suite—there’s a sitting area with a great view of the canal. I can see gondolas going by with couples in love holding hands and taking in the sights of the city. I understand why this room was farther away from the others now; it looks like he booked us a suite. Of course, he couldn’t just get us a regular-sized room in a fancy hotel…
“Do you like it?” Jaxon whispers in my ear as he walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist.
“No,” I say, turning to look at him. “I love it. And you.”
I reach for his face and pull his head down to my level so I can kiss him. I really appreciate everything Jaxon has done for me. He’s let me feel a love that is so strong, passionate, and fierce. He has brought out a part of me that I thought only existed in stories. He’s the best guy for me.
Wolf-man, well.
He kisses me back right away, and his hands go to my sides as he holds me like he never wants to let go. I hit something soft with my legs and fell back onto the bed. I didn’t even know we were moving.
Jaxon doesn’t waste any time moving us up the bed until he’s above me. I pull on his shirt and reach for it because I want to see his smooth golden skin again. He’s so freaking hot, and I’m so lucky that I can say he’s mine.
He growls and bites my lip.
Jaxon says through the mindlink, “I’m the lucky one.” His lips never leave mine.
Oops, I must have said that last part through our connection.
Our clothes are all on the floor in just a few seconds. Jaxon kisses my neck, breasts, and stomach, and then his lips come right between my legs. He runs his hands all over my body.
I stop him before he can latch on and bring heaven down to Earth.
“Wait,” I say, and Jaxon stops right away. He looks confused and a little worried as if he did something wrong.
He looks me in the eyes and asks, “What is it, baby?”
“I just want to make you feel good first. You paid for this whole trip and made all of my dreams come true. I want to show you how grateful I am.” I lick my lips, and he knows right away what I mean. His eyes follow my tongue, and when I bite my bottom lip on purpose to tease him, he groans and pulls me closer.
“I like making you feel good,” Jaxon says before he kisses me. “I have an idea that will make us both happy. Let’s make it a competition.” He smiles like a Cheshire cat.
“What?” I ask, not understanding at all.
He turns me over so that my face is in line with his d**k and his face is in line with my p***y. Yes, Jaxon has gotten me used to using those words. Even though just thinking about those words makes me blush, when I’m in the heat of the moment, they make me really excited.
Later, I might feel shy about it.
“Whoever cums first loses,” he says, and then his tongue pushes into my entrance while his hands squeeze my a*s.
I moan in shock at how good it feels, but then I remember that this is a competition and I don’t want to hear Jaxon’s cocky bragging all night. I try to concentrate and wrap my hand around his big c**k to start pumping the base.
