The Beta Trials by Cooper (Jace & Jordan)

Chapter 34 (Jordan)

I wake to the scent of honey roasted almonds. I’m warm and more relaxed than I ever remember feeling in my life.

I realize that I’m lying on Jace’s chest, and I lift my head, looking up at him. His fingers are gently stroking my back and he’s smiling at me, but I can see worry in his eyes.

“Good morning, beautiful.”

“Good morning,” I say, as I latch onto our mind link, filtering through Jace’s thoughts. He doesn’t fight me, he lets me in, letting me see why he’s worried. He’s afraid that I’ll be upset at what happened last night.

I blush as I catch an image of myself in Jace’s mind.

“Is it always like that?” I ask him.

“Don’t know. It was my first time too.”

I frown at that. “But you knew what you were doing,” I say, lifting my head and frowning at him. Has he really never been intimate with a woman?

“I haven’t been living under a rock, Jordan. I have access to the internet, I’ ve looked up the different things that I wanted to do with you and to you,” he says and now it’s his turn to blush.

A slow smile spreads across my face. “How many more things are there?” I ask. I’ve never given much thought to different positions. I know about the basic ones, of course. But I didn’t know about that position Jace put us in last night.

“Lots,” he says smiling at me. “If you’re interested, I can show you,” he says, his eyes dark with desire.

“No, I need to focus. I need to call my mom and get that over with and if we do…that, or something else, I won’t be able to focus,” I say to him.

“Sixty-nine,” he says.
