**Jazz POV: **

West and I walk into the house and we see Cleo and Valenzano walking and talking together. "Hey guys", I say waving, overly excited about them.

"Hello", they said at the same time", they are so cute.

"I was just finishing giving Cleo the tour. Cleo, I will see you late", he said as he kissed her hand and walked away. West and I looked at them confused and excited.

"So, he gave you a tour, huh", I said, walking up to Cleo while raising my eyebrows.

"Yes, he did. This place is huge", she said, trying to ignore what I was implying.

"So, how did it go? How do you feel", I asked, hoping Valenzano would not tell her she was his mate.

"We worked in his office, had lunch, then he gave me a tour", she is so nonchalant about it.

"Where did you guys go for lunch?", I asked, hoping she had a good time.

"We had a picnic in his garden", she said nonchalantly.

"HIS GARDEN!", I didn't realize I had been yelling until I saw her flinch.

"Yeah, why?", she said.

"No one is allowed back there. Cleo, he never takes anyone there, not even his ex", she doesn't understand what this means.

"It's just a garden Jazz", she says like it's nothing.

"No, you don't understand how important him taking you there is. And what does he mean when he said he would see you later?", I said, standing there with my arms folded over my chest.

"We are going to meet up at 10 pm to watch a movie in the theater", I don't understand why she thinks this is not a big deal.

"That's great, so tell me how you feel around him?", I asked, hoping their mate bond is growing.

"I feel a sense of comfort and safety. When we touch them there are a lot of sparks. I think it is from static". Great means the mate bond is getting stronger. I am so happy for her.

"I hope you give him a chance", I said, giving her a pleading look.

"A chance at what?", she asked, shocked.

"A chance to make you happy and sweep you off your feet", I said like it is a no-brainer.

"Girl, it was just lunch", she says as she playfully punches my arm.

We go upstairs to her room she tells me more about her day with Valenzano. I know he is somewhere talking to West about his time with Cleo. I just hope she opens up to him a little more, so the bond call fully takes hold. I leave Cleo so she can take a nap. She might need some energy tonight. I went to my West room and I got some tea to share.

**West POV: **

I followed my brother to his office, wondering how his time with Cleo went. From the looks of them, they went well. She hasn't smiled since she was here, so I was glad to see a smile on her face.

"Spent some time with Cleo, huh", I asked while grinning.

"Yes, I did. We had lunch and I gave her a tour of the house. We made plans to watch a movie later tonight", she sounds so sure of himself.

"So, I guess the mate bond is growing", I said, wiggling my eyebrows.

"Yes, it is, I think she is starting to feel it", he says, trying not to show he is excited.

"Where did you guys go for lunch?",

"We had a picnic in the garden", he said, and I thought I heard him wrong.

"What! You took her to your garden", I am shocked no one is allowed there, not even your mom and dad.

"Yes, I took her to my garden. She is my mate after all", he says with such obviousness.

"When are you going to tell her, she is your mate?", I asked. I think he should do it when she is more comfortable around him.

"I will tell her once our mate bond reaches the stage where she can't be without me", he said.

"Okay, but for that to happen you guys must reach the intimacy stage first", I tried to hit on his parade.

"I am aware of that", he sounds frustrated, maybe because he knows it is easier said than done.

"Welp, good lunch bro", I said as I walked out to go find Jazz. I walked into the room and she is there sitting on the bed looking at me, trying to hold in her excitement.

"So", she says, looking like a deer in headlights.

"So?", I responded, trying to act like I didn't know what she was talking about.

"What did Valenzano say about his day with Cleo", she says, jumping up and down.

"He is happy about the time they had. He might try to take their bond to an intimate level", I say as her eyes went wide.

"Well, Cleo described to me who she felt. And by the looks of it, she is showing signs of feeling and slowly accepting the mate bond.

She feels the sparks when they touch. And she enjoys being around him", she says, still jumping up and down.

Watching her breasts giggle makes me hard. I started to get undressed as she watched me. I can smell her arousal. August takes control.
