The Girl He Marked by Laila Callaway novel Chapter 1

Chapter 11 

Jayce‘s POV. 

It doesn‘t take me long to arrive at her house, all the lights are on and I can hear other people chatting inside. 

This is a bad idea; I shouldn‘t be here. 

Against my better judgment, I get out of the car and ring the doorbell. I actually feel nervous as I wait for her to answer it. 

My mind stops in its tracks as the door opens, my eyes land instantly on the thin chains attached to her neck. I slowly take in her outfit, trying to hide my surprise at seeing her dressed in such racy attire. 

“Um, hi Jayce, she mumbles, bringing my attention back up to her beautiful face, 

She‘s wearing false eyelashes, emphasizing her stunning eyes. She looks so different – so sultry com pared to her usual innocent expression, 

‘I brought you your keys, you left them at work I tell her, forcing my voice to remain indifferent, 

Trarely show my feelings, and this is certainly not the time for an exception 

She takes the keys from me and I look at her one last time, committing that view to my memory before I turn and go back to my car. 

Thear her call out and thank me, but I force myselí not to turn around I grip the wheel as I drive away, It wasn‘t a good idea to go to her house, but I‘m glad I did 

I park at Bill‘s bar and collapse heavily onto one of the bar stools, within seconds, the bartender has placed a glass of whiskey in front of me. Definitely a sign I drink here too much, oh well. 

I really shouldn‘t have gone to her house. I can‘t believe what she was wearing, I can‘t believe how much I wanted her. I clench my hand around the glass, releasing it just before it cracks. A large, rough hand lands on my shoulder. I don‘t turn my head as the man sits down next to me. 

‘Rixon,‘ I greet him, taking another sip of my drink. 

: ‘You look like shit, he comments, chuckling at me. I turn to look him up at down. Rixon is as tall as me, but not quite as wide. He does, however, have a lot more tattoos and scars than me, surprising really, 

‘So do you.’ I smirk and nod to the bartender to bring Rixon a drink. 

‘What‘s got you drinking in here? Another assignment? He asks and I down the last of the amber liquid. 

T‘ve met my mate,‘ I tell him bluntly, I glance over and he‘s staring at me with wide eyes.
