    The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)


    Chapter 15 Jaxon


    I drop the burning wood, tossing it in the direction of the firepit and put my other hand into her hair. Her


    arms slide up and around my neck, her fingers sliding into my hair.


    I move one hand down to her waist, pulling her to me, wanting her closer, wanting more. Her body


    presses against mine and I know she can feel my hard length between us. There’s no hiding my


    attraction for her.


    She tastes so damn good, I lick the seam of her lips. She opens her mouth, sliding her tongue out to


    meet mine. My eyes practically roll back into my head. When I hear her soft moan, I realize I’m not the


    only one that is feeling this pull. Eve is close enough to 18 that she’s feeling the draw to me as well.


    Both of us seem ravenous, our tongues fighting for dominance, our bodies pushing together as if we’re


    trying to meld into one being.


    When I smell her arousal, a possessive growl rumbles in my chest. A sound I’ve never made before.


    When we pull away from each other, we put our foreheads together, panting and holding on to each


    other.


    “Damn.” She says quietly.


    “That’s the understatement of the year. Holy s*hit. Eve. I hope you’re nning to let me k*iss you


    again.” I say.


    “Well, you did say something about a date.”


    “Oh no, I need to k*iss you again, long before that. That was I don’t even know how to describe what


    that was.”


    I close my eyes. I want nothing more than to tear oft’ her clothes, and continue my exploration of her


    body, taste her until her sweet moans fill this cave and her screams of pleasure echo into the night.


    “Hey, Jaxon, are you up there?” I pull my head away from Eve.


    “Who is that?”


    “Teagan.” F*uc*king c*oc*k blocker. “Yeah, were up here.” I yell down. “Who’s we?” I hear Rowan ask.


    “Evangeline and I are up here.” I shout back.


    “Oh good, you found my sister.” I hear a male’s voice.


    “Alejandro.” She says quietly to me.


    “Anything good up there, Evie?” I do recognize Magdalena’s voice.


    “Our mother’s signatures from when they were in the iming.”


    “Ohhhh.” There’s a bustle of excitement and we hear them beginning to climb up the falls.


    I step away from Eve, turning to grab the wood that has nearly gone out. I look for another piece and


    light it just as they get to the top.


    “It’s over there. Enjoy.” Evangeline says to them, taking the stick out of my hand and giving it to them.


    “Jaxon promised me a swim in theke.” She says, turning toward me.


    “Race you!” She says, before running and leaping off the edge of the cliff, diving over the falls.


    I have a moment to be startled before I race to follow her into theke below.


    When I hit the water, it is warm and soothing to my still-sore muscles. I break the surface,ing up


    for air and hear the beautiful sound of Eve’sughter.


    It has gotten dark while we were in the cave, so I take a chance while everyone else is up there and


    pull her to me. She wraps her legs around my waist, and I lean in for another scorching k*iss. We only


    pull away when we hear the othersing out of the eave above us.


    “I could k*iss you all day.” I tell her quietly.


    “I hope you n to do more with me than just k*iss me on our date.” She says, coyly, before pushing


    away from me.


    “I’m revising my ns to make sure I include ample time for kissing.” I say, happy that she seems to


    enjoy kissing me as much as I enjoy kissing her.


    “Good.” She says as we hear a ssh next to us.


    Teagan surfaces close to us. “That was really cool, seeing our mother’s signatures from so long ago.


    Somehow, I want to leave my mark too.” She says.


    “I love that idea, Teagan. We should figure out how we can do that.” Eve says.


    Several sshester and it has be a swimming party. Everyone is excited that they are moving


    forward, Alejandro excluded. But he seems perfectly happy to be celebrating with us.


    “What do you think the next contest will be?” Magdalena asks.


    “I heard some of the council members talking. I think it’s going to be strength.” Alejandro says.


    “Do you know if everyone has made it back from the race?” Eve asks.


    “There were still about 30 people that hadn’t made it in when we left toe out here.” Rowan


    answers.


    “I can’t imagine still running.” Magdalena says.


    “Me either.” Teagan says and we all agree.


    “I assume they would have had to have stopped and at least eaten something by now. But I’m sure


    they are wiped out. You have to give them credit for finishing though.” I say.


    “Speaking of impressive, did you hear that at least two omegas made it into the top 100?” Alejandro


    says.


    “What? No way! That’s awesome.” Teagan says.


    “I thought so. Good for them. They’ll probably struggle in the next round if it is strength, but good for


    them for making it to the seeond round.” Alejandro says.


    We hang out a bit longer, but we’re all still very tired from running overnight. We get out and walk back


    to the area where the finish line was set up. Just as we get there, we see one person hobbling toward


    the finish line. I look up and see that this is thest person, and they are all by themselves.


    I stop and begin pping. “You can do it!” I say, encouraging the person. His head snaps up, looking at


    me.


    “Yeah! Come on! You can do it!” Eve says,ing to stand beside me.


    Teagan does her shrill whistle that only she seems to be able to do. “Come on, you got this!”


    We all stand in a semi-circle, pping and encouraging the man, who must be an omega, to finish his


    race.


    As soon as he crosses, he copses forward, and Alejandro and I rush to catch him.


    “Great job, man! You did it!” Alejandro says to him.


    “I did it.” The man says smiling like a fool, but he’s practically passing out.


    “I got him.” Alpha Aiden says rushing up. He is Alpha Zaire and Luna Gia’s oldest son and took over


    their pack several years ago.


    “I just realized you weren’t back yet, Carl. Nice job, buddy. I’m proud of you.” Alpha Aiden says to him.


    “Thanks, Alpha.” He says and Aiden swings him up into his arms before cany mg him back inside.


    “Well, that’s it. Everyone is ounted for.” Councilman Jason says walking over to us.


    “Congrattions to all of you. Well, except you. Alpha Alejandro. I guess we’ll be seeing all of you at


    the dinner and announcement tomorrow night.”


    “Yes, councilman.” We say before heading inside.


    Our group begins heading inside. All of us feeling the drag of the race. When we get inside, it’s quiet,


    most everyone is in bed asleep. A few are up and eating again after having napped to take the edge off


    of the sleeplessness of the race.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    We’ve just walked through the dining room, the others getting a few steps ahead of us, when I pull Eve


    into a dark corridor.


    “Jax, what are you doing?” She whispers.


    Rather than answer, I take her mouth in another passionate k*iss. I k*iss her until she’s clinging to me,


    and we both need to breathe.


    “Giving you a good night k*iss.”


    I take her hand pulling her to catch up to our families, dropping her hand when we get there. As she


    turns to head to her room, she turns back to me.


    “Sleep well, Evangeline.” I say, winking at her before turning to my own room, a permanent smile on my


    face.
