The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 19 Jaxon

Raelyn is hanging on me like a monkey. I’ve thrown her into the air countless times, especially when I saw Eve get out of the water and saw just how fantastic her body is.

I was partly glad that Raelyn had interrupted out little tease because I was so hard, I thought my dick was going to explode if she even grazed it accidentally. Once I swam away, it took at bit, but my dick was finally starting to soften, and then Evangeline had to go and get out of the water.

I watched as she gracefully pulled herself out of the lake, using the edge of the overhang where she’d been sitting. Even Raelyn swimming back over and practically choking me didn’t help my situation. The woman is all grace and confidence and I swear if there was a private spot in this lake, I’d have relieved my painful erection.

I stay in the water longer than I would have, playing with Raelyn and letting my body finally calm down. Geez, if I ever do get my chance with Eve, I need to be prepared. I would hate for our first time together to give her the impression that I’ m a two-pump chump. That would be mortifying.

When I do finally get out, I’m not paying attention to anything other than Eve in my peripheral vision. I’m afraid if I look at her, my d*ic*k will instantly respond. So, I’m distracted and surprised when her father steps in front of me.

“AIpha Jaxon.” He says, his voice serious.

“AIpha Luke.” I say, stopping short and looking at him. He’s close to my height, maybe an inch or so shorter than I am.

“I don’t need to remind you that my daughter is not yet 18 and unable to identify her mate, do I?”

“No, Alpha. I am perfectly aware that your daughter is still several months away from her birthday. Beyond that, I respect that she wants to win this competition. So even if she finds her mate during the contest, which is very likely, I’m sure she will wait until the competition is over before making any decisions about accepting her mate.”

He looks at me a long moment. “And what about you, Alpha? Will you be waiting until the end of the competition if you find your mate?” He asks me.

“That will depend on my mate. If she is in the contest and wants to continue to compete, I will wait for her and see what happens. If not, then, I would want to accept my mate as soon as possible so that when I win, she and I can begin to build our pack together right away.”

He narrows his eyes at me. “You’re very much like your father, do you know that?”

I smile at him. “I’ll take that as a compliment.” I say to him.

He rolls his eyes. “Yeah, he would have too. Just remember what I said, Jaxon. My daughter wants to win, and I have no doubt that she can. Don’t get in the way of her winning her pack if that’s what she wants.”
