Free Chased (The Graysen Pack Series) by Regina Bartley

His lips were warm and in control. He held me tighter. Then his tongue lightly brushed my lips. I didn’t want him to stop, but I could feel myself losing control. He kissed me softly one last time and released me, stepping back quickly.
                  Wow! My, Paaren, I’m so sorry. I was losing all control with you. I thought it would be easier than that. I am not sure I was prepared enough. Please just tell me it worked, he thought. Tell me you hear me.
                  I nodded my head. That was freaking amazing. I sent my thoughts back to him.
                  “I cannot believe this. Can you believe this? How is this happening? Should we tell somebody? I’m really losing it right now. I should call my mom.” I ranted as I paced the floor.
                  “Come here you. You need to take a deep breath and relax.” He grabbed my hand and led me over to the bed. I lay back onto the pillow and curled into his side. “I just want to enjoy this. My body feels so at ease next to you.” He rested his head on mine. “My father explained this feeling to me before, but I never understood. Until now,” he said deeply. I want you by my side forever, mate.
                  “I want this too.” I held him tighter. “O Snap! Zen.” I rose up quickly. “What about Paige? She left another note. This time she said that she was going to hurt someone I love. What are we going to do?” I was beginning to become frantic. I could feel the panic settling in.
                  “Calm down, Ava. I won’t let her get to you. I will protect you.”
                  “I need my phone. I need to send my mom a text.” I was searching all over when someone knocked on the door.
                  “Let us in, Lovebirds, unless you’re naked,” Sam yelled. I shook my head and opened the door. She was standing with arms folded and next to her was Zander. “Hey sweetness, you look better. But I guess I would too if I was snuggled up next to Kit Kat over there,” she pointed at Zen.
                  I raised my eyebrows up and down, watching the grin widen on her face. “What about you? You aren’t exactly empty handed yourself.”
                  “I know right. So delicious, isn’t he?” She looked at Zander and winked. He just shook his head. “Here.” She handed me an envelope.
                  “What’s this?” I looked down at the envelope.
                  “I don’t know A.J. dear; I’m just the delivery girl,” she replied. “No seriously, it was hanging on your door.”
                  Your girlfriend sent me another love note. I looked at Zen. I knew that he was listening to my thoughts.
                  “That’s not funny. She isn’t my girlfriend,” Zen replied aloud.
                  Sam was looking at me with her WTF face. I knew she had caught on. He answered me out loud. “Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up. What is going on? You had better start explaining, Avery Jean.”
                  “I’ll explain later.” I shook my head and opened the letter. “Oh no, Zen, she is going after my mom.” My body started shaking again.
                  He pulled the letter from my hand and read it aloud.
     
    Avery,
                  You should have listened to me. Now someone has to pay the price. I wonder who it will be. I’ll race you home. Your poor mommy! I warned you to stay away from what’s mine. I sure hope you listen next time. Don’t worry, I will say goodbye for you.
                                                                                                  Yours
