“He’s old. I doubt he’ll find his mate now.” I say although I know Alejandro was like thirty -four, Jax is only in his late twenties.

“I’m trying my best, Azura. I won’t abandon my child.” She says quietly. “I don’t need a man.”

The front doorbell rings and Kareena walks past me to get it. At the same time,

Jax comes out of the living room. Their eyes meet before Kareena power walks to the door and pulls it open before Jax can.

“Delivery.” The guy from the café says. Hello, Luna.” He smiles at me as he passes Jax the trays holding the hot drinks.

“Thanks, man, you got the desserts?”

“Just on the bike. I’ll go grab them.” He says as Jax nods.

“I got here first.” Kareena says pointedly, trying to take the drinks from him, but he holds them out of her reach.

“Don’t be petty. Get the desserts.” He says. c*ckily, making her frown.

‘Maybe they’re a bad match.’ Mishiko says through the link as she steps out of the living room, too.

‘I don’t know, they might work…’ I reply.

“Thanks.” Jax says, taking them and Kareena manages to grab one.

‘You are annoying.” She says, leading the way back to the living room.

‘Scratch that… I think they are the perfect match…’ I say to Mishiko through the link.

We enter the lounge where Sera is already passing everyone their drinks and I take a seat next to Kareena, I know Leo wants to talk to her, and today hopefully as a group, we can make her understand.

“The chocolate cake is Jin’s and Kar’s.” Jax says. “The cookie doughs are mine, Mish’s and Li Sheng’s…”

I sit back enjoying the cosy atmosphere, my eyes falling on Leo, who is sitting opposite He sits back, picking up his coffee, his smouldering eyes on me. He doesn’t need to say anything for me to know he’s checking me out. I smile slightly, remembering our sex session from earlier. I push the thought away before I get distracted from the goal. We just need to wait for the right time to speak to Kareena.
