The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 966

“You’re going to love it –“ I say, grinning at Marigold, who sits up, as intrigued as her dad. “It’s called Mystery Hunk saves –“

“Give me that –“ Jackson snarls, snatching for it. But I burst out laughing, pressing it closer to Marigold instead.

“It’s her present, Jacks, you can’t take away her present –“

“Dad!” Marigold bursts out, desperately pleased, pointing at the image of her father on the front of the magazine.

“Oh my god, Marigold,” Jackson groans, leaning far over and reaching for it. But when his fingers curl around it Marigold gasps, clutching it to her.

“My mystery hunk!” Marigold protests, her eyes going big and round with worry.

“Yeah, Jacks!” I say, cackling a bit with glee, grinning at my mate. “It’s her book!”

Jackson sighs and releases the magazine, letting her have it. “I’m taking that back the moment you learn how to read, Marigold.”

She brushes that point aside, smiling down at the magazine. “Mystery hunk.”

“Yes, that’s daddy!” I say, laughing, a little delighted. “What a great story!”

“You’ll pay for this,” Jackson sighs, turning his eyes to me.

My grin widens as I crawl closer to him, snuggling up and letting him pull me into his lap. “I’d better,” I murmur, passing him a sultry little pulse down the bond. He laughs at that, low and deep, pulling me close to his chest.

“You good?” he murmurs, pressing a kiss to my cheek just below my ear.

“I’m amazing,” I whisper, turning my face and pressing a kiss to his mouth in turn – much more chaste than I’d like it to be, for Marigold’s sake.
