Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 315

My eyes glance over to Jaxon who was shaking his head whilst Knox was as stiff as I had been, his eyes darting between Lobo and Doctor Abel. His hands gripping onto the edge of the table.

“I can do it myself, thanks for dropping it over Doctor and I’ll be back at work tomorrow.” I smile

out, Lobo continuing to embarasingly guard me from the good doctor. His growling continuing until the doctor leaves for the front door.

“Lobo…you can be so embarrassing at times.” I bend down as much as I can, stroking my fingers through the top of his head.

“I’d say he’s called it…” Jaxon’s comment shoots at me from behind.

“Called what?”

“Oh come on Josie…really?” I spin on the stool to watch Jaxon roll his eyes as he stands up, carrying his now empty bowl to the kitchen sink.

“What?”

“So naïve.” Jaxon moves past me, placing a kiss on the top of my head before pulling out his phone and heading for the stairs.

“What?” I turn to Dad, who chuckles…before his eyes lock on Mum who raises an eyebrow at him and swiftly leaves the kitchen. Dad following…yes Jaxon was right, gross.

I become very aware that the busy kitchen of only a few seconds ago, has now fallen silent with only myself, Lobo and…Knox.

With a sigh, I reach for the jar of remedy, my back once again turned on him as I attempt to stretch one of my legs out…my teeth biting down on my bottom lip to stifle the pained moan that tries to escape me.

Acidic bile shoots to the back of my throat as my leg remains locked half way out because I can’t bear the thought of moving it further.

My eyes slam shut as I try to move it again before I feel the tingle sensations of another’s hand now on my leg.

My eyes open to watch him as he opens the lid off the jar, scoops out some of the ointment with his hand before it’s cooling properties start to take effect as he smooths it into one of the wounds.

Lobo remains silent at the base of my stool, not once making any noise of Knox touching me, yet when Doctor Abel, a trained professional, tried to…he went ballistic.
