Fractured (Josie) novel Chapter 159

Chapter 0159 

**Josie’s POV** 

Luke goes quiet whilst I sip the awful ginger and mint tea. The taste is bad but it really does help keep the sickness at bay. I’m desperate to tell Luke about the little bean, hell I want to scream it to the whole world, but he’s still recovering from his ordeal in the void. The emotions I’m feeling from him are all over the place. I think it will be less of a shock if he works it out for himself, that doesn’t mean I’m not going to drop some massive hints to help him out though. I finish the cubes of cheese on my plate and take a bite of one of the pancakes. I hold the pancake out to Luke offering him a bite, which he declines. I repeat the action to Axel, who also shakes his head before finding my feet under the covers and massaging them. Moments later Deacon returns with another two plates of pancakes. He hands one to Luke and one to Axel who starts eating them immediately. I quickly inspect their plates, looking for cheese and pout when I don’t see any, which Deacon doesn’t miss. 

“More cheese?” He asks with an amused smile. 

“Not yet,” I smile. “You need to eat first. When do you want to head home?” 

“As soon as everyone is ready,” 

“I’m ready as soon as everyone is done eating. I want to shower but I’d rather do that when we get back,” I tell him. 

Half an hour later we are back at the cottage. I text Freya to let her know we have left and that Luke is awake and I’ll bring him back to meet her soon. She had spent at least an hour chatting with Axel last night despite him barely saying anything back. She seemed to like him. She had left when I could no longer keep my eyes open. 1 offer Luke and Axel to use the shower first, they need it more than I do, but of course, they decline. Deacon finds them both some clothes whilst I shower, although I’m not sure Axel is going to fit in them. I swear he’s doubled in size. I tell them to hurry with their showers because I can’t wait to spend the whole day with the three of them. 

“I missed holding you last night,” Deacon says, coming over to kiss me when I walk into the kitchen, still wrapped in my towel. 

“I missed you too,” I wrap my arms around him and hum when I take in his amazing scent. 

“I’m a little disappointed that I’m going to have to share you now but I’m glad you have more of your bonds here. I just hope Mason and Theo are going to be okay,” he sighs. I check in on my missing bonds and they feel as though they’re both sleeping. 

“They’ll be okay. We will find a way back to them, we have to. Little Bean needs all of you and so do I,” 

“Don’t forget we have an appointment at the clinic tomorrow. You should tell Luke before then if he doesn’t work it out before the appointment,” he says and I look around nervously. “He’s in the shower, he can’t hear us,” 

“I will, but Luke is smart. He will work it out. I think he’s still a little dazed from the void, he’s still not quite himself,” 

“Agreed, I can’t get a read on his emotions, they’re like a tornado right now. I don’t think he fully believes he’s out of there. You might need to help convince him,” he says suggestively, lifting me to sit on the edge of the kitchen counter so I’m more his height. He stands between my legs and kisses me. His teeth catch my bottom lip and he bites it gently whilst his hands travel up my thighs, making desire pool in my 

“Do you need convincing this is real too?” I joke breathlessly when he releases my lip. 

core. 

“Oh I know this is real,” his fingers brush over the apex of my thighs making me gasp, “but it’s only fair I help out and get you all riled up for him,” he hums.
