Chapter 66

LAYLA

We just had the best sex that I have ever had in my life. I do not think that any man would be able to satisfy me the way that he just did ever again. I think that he might have ruined me for all men that I am yet to meet. But at the same time, I do not know how to feel about this because I do not know how he feels.

So, as I get up and get dressed, ready to leave he asks me what does this means. I look into his eyes just staring at him in amazement. His eyes almost look like he is begging me. He is begging me for an answer to what just happened but I do not know what to say to him.

I do not even know how he feels about me and for that matter, how I feel about him. I am just about to open my mouth to say maybe something very stupid when the plane starts to rock. The plane knocks me off my feet and I do not know how it is possible but Jake has me in his arms before I hit the ground.

My hand was almost on the door handle and he was still sitting on the couch. It is not possible for him to be by my side so quickly but I do not have time to think about this because suddenly fear has overtaken my senses. Then without warning my entire body froze.

JAKE

I see everything happening in slow motion. I'm still staring at Layla waiting for her to answer my question when suddenly she starts to fall. I do not know how I did it but I got up to catch her and when I blinked my eyes I was there. I realize that this must be another one of my abilities.

Even though I am in human form, some of the wolf is still resident in my human form. I feel her beautiful body once again in my arms and it is strange how the turbulence of the airplane does not affect me at all. I also realized that I have not drank any motion sickness pills for a few flights now. Then I look into her eyes and say.

"Are you okay?"

I see her looking at me but it is as if her mouth can not move. I want to lead her back to the couch but her feet do not want to walk. I realize that she must be in shock. I can still feel the plane rocking under my feet as the plane is still unstable.

Then I pick her up in my arms and put her down on the couch. As I take my arm away from her I feel her grabbing onto it. It is clear that she does not want to let go of me and so I keep my hand on her leg. I turn to her and say.

"It is okay. It is just turbulence. Everything will be okay"

LAYLA

I do not know why but having his hand on my leg and hearing him say that everything is going to be okay makes me feel at ease almost immediately. Then, as the plane starts to stabilize and I start to realize what I am doing. I quickly stand up and take a few steps back.

"Oh god, I am so sorry"

"Please, do not apologize. I understand that you were afraid"

"Yes...and it is so embarrassing"

Then the door swings open and Mark almost falls through the door, nearly streaming.

"Are you okay?!"

He is clearly not concerned about me but his concern is only directed to Jake. But then suddenly I realize that Jake still does not have a shirt on. My heart starts to race and I can feel my mouth drying. Jake stands up in his perfectly calm demeanor and says to Mark.

"I am fine"

"Thank goodness!"

Then Mark stares at his naked well build upper body and a frown appears on his face. He gives me just a glance and then back to Jake. Then he points with his finger between me and Jake and says.

"Everything okay here?"

Without blinking, Jake says to him.

"Yes, Layla was just about to help me with my shirt"

"Oh yes...yes, of course. Well, I will leave you to it. Let's hope that there isn't any more turbulence"

Just as he is about to leave, I take this opportunity and say.

"I think I will go with you as I need to get a new shirt for Jake"

I realize that soon there will be an uncomfortable situation between me and Jake and I need time to think about what just happened to us. He clearly needs some kind of answer and I can not give him anything right now. I quickly walk out the door and then make my way to the place they store the clothes.

JAKE

I do not know exactly what just happened but before I could say anything, Layla left my room. I did not want her to leave without talking about what happened because I am afraid that she might not understand my feelings for her. I hate how Mark always finds the wrong time to barge into any conversations that I might have.

I fall back down on the couch and I start to wonder whether I will be seeing Layla again. I know that she said that she is going to get me a shirt but I have this sick feeling in my stomach that she is not coming back. I stare out of the window and I think of how her perfect body melted together with mine.

We were in perfect sync with each other and it was almost as if we were made for each other. It was perfect in every way. I have had a lot of sex in my life but for some reason, this just felt supernatural.
