I want to bite the spot where her ass and thighs meet, leave teeth marks instead of hickeys so everyone would know that she had been with me.

It is primal as fuck.

When did I get into biting people?

Instead, I check my text messages, smirking at the several from Cameron all with various states of telling me not to be a dickhead and letting me know that I should have said something about taking Sadie out.

But I ignored him because I was thankful I had gotten time with Sadie.

Now I just need to figure out how to get more.

CHAPTER 5

ALRIGHTY APHRODITE

Paxton

Looking up from the computer that I’m currently budgeting for the next project we have lined up on, I rub between my eyes, tugging off the glasses I had been wearing.

It had been our dream to create our own business and now that it was happening there was so much working going into it. Most of it fell to me because as the pack lead I felt the need to make everything work for us.

The pressure to succeed seems to lay extra heavy on my shoulders.

We were booked solid with this new project and it felt good to be successful as we branched out to bigger deals. Wish we had a little more downtime since we all seemed to have side projects that we were working on but we couldn’t complain about the money that was coming in now.

Still, I wish I could take some of the pressure off of us all so we could focus on the things that matter to us. Our personal projects matter just as much to me because I knew they kept us all sane.

The gym that I was redoing, was already causing issues that I needed to work on. Small things that new businesses had that needed to be ironed out.

Also, we were working so much to make our dreams happen that we weren’t spending as much time as a pack as we should. Quality time, not just working on projects together.

I’d sit down with everyone and come up with a plan to fix this soon so that it wasn’t hanging so heavy on me.

Another problem that needed my attention.

Maybe we could go out for drinks or go to a baseball game this Spring when things settled down a little bit. Just something to get us back together.

Pulling out my phone I check the group chat to see if anything is going on and frown when I see that I missed a bunch of texts.

Ant

*Attached Picture*

Holy Hell.

Sadie is leaning against Ant’s legs, her eyes looking up at him as he stares in the mirror as he snaps a picture. The way she is looking at him makes my heart tighten.

They must have just worked out because there is a flush to her cheeks and a little peak of her skin is showing where her hoodie has risen up.

She looks so comfortable with him and I love how good they look together.

Jace

You didn’t say you were meeting Sadie.
