No Longer Be your Luna (Jane and Xander) novel Chapter 37

“Yup. Two days after I got him settled there. I found him halfway down the highway rolling his chair like he was in a damn marathon. Looked me dead in the eye and told me that if I tried to stick him in a place full of drooling old betas, he’d bite his own tail off.”

I laughed harder, and Aaron joined in. “That definitely sounds like him.” I could see it clearly, George yelling at Aaron with that stubborn set on his mouth. But we both knew it was because he felt most at home with Aaron. He didn’t want to be separated from family.

I leaned back onto Aaron and closed my eyes. I took in his scent, relished in the way his hands felt on my back. When I opened my eyes, Aaron was staring at me. It was the same look he had on right before he kissed me.

And by the goddess, my wolf was hungry for him.

“I’ve been feeling a lot of sparks lately,” he said instead.

I cleared my throat. “Sparks?”
