A loud car horn had him pulling away from her and wishing they weren’t in the school car park. He snarled as he noticed the honking coming from the car Zeck and Travis sat in. Travis held his hand over the horn.
Jezebel let out a loud sigh, and he slid her down his body. “I better go. Thanks for coming and seeing me.”
Jezebel walked away from him, but before she was too far away he strolled to her and stopped her. “I’ll pick you up from your parents’ tomorrow morning. I have to talk to you. There is something I have to tell you and show you.” Jezebel’s eyes avoided him, and her teeth nibbled on her bottom lip. Crap. He’d made her worry. He ran his fingers through his hair. “Don’t worry. I see you tomorrow. Have fun.” He kissed her forehead and stood watching as she walked to Travis’s car and got in, and they drove away.
Brandon didn’t know how long he stood in the almost empty car park calming his lion and willing his boner to go down. He couldn’t hold back telling her anymore. He needed Jezebel with him. His soul was heavy, and it was getting harder and harder for him to control his lion.
Walking to his car he got in and drove over to his parents’ to meet his brothers and organize where they would go hunting tonight.

Jess awoke slowly snuggling into Travis’s bed. His arm lay around her, and she looked to the floor to see Zeck snoring his head off. Jess had missed this. They hadn’t had a movie sleepover in a while. With all the drama with Sasha and this last week with Brandon, they hadn’t been having too much time together. Her birthday last weekend had been the first week in months they’d been alone just the three of them for a weekend. God, it felt a lot longer than a week.
Had she really been with Brandon for only a week? Wow, she’d been with a Pride man for a whole week. She remembered what he said to her at the school and closed her eyes. She hoped he didn’t want to talk to her so he could break up with her. But he had said he wanted to show her something also. He hadn’t acted like he wanted to break up with her. Maybe she should give him a rest from her. She could spend her weekend with Travis and Zeck. Sitting up she glanced at the clock. It was early. She eased out of Travis’s hold and went to her bag. Jess debated if she should call Brandon or just message him. Messaging him was safer. Getting her phone out Jess messaged Brandon. “Spending weekend with friends. Will see you Sunday night.”
Glancing around the room at her two best friends she fought with herself before she hit send. Time without Brandon would be good for her. She was falling hard for him. Not only was he amazing in bed, but he cared for her and was very affectionate. And she secretly loved his possessive, dominating way with her.
Putting the phone in the bag before she phoned him and told him not to worry about her message and that she’d see him later today she got back in bed and closed her eyes. She should be tired. They had stayed up watching horror movies until the early hours of the morning. Jess snuggled deeper into the warmth of the bed and blanked her mind.
Travis groaned beside her and pulled her to him. Her eyes snapped opened, and she lay stiff in his arms. Jess could feel his morning delight. After a while, when he didn’t move, she berated herself and relaxed. This was Travis, and he was her best friend. He would never do anything to her. Travis wasn’t interested in her like that. Zeck snorted in his sleep, and Jess giggled.
“Would it be rude if I chucked something at him?” Travis grumbled.
Jess turned and looked at Travis, and raised her eyebrow when his hands didn’t let her go. “Maybe a pillow, but nothing harder. The snorting is funny though.”
Travis grinned down at her. “What would you sleep on if I chucked your pillows at him to shut him up?”
“Hey, why would you use my pillows?” She grabbed her pillow and whacked him on the head. “Use your own. You’re the one it bothers. I’m used to you two snoring.”
Travis reached for her other pillow and hit her with it. “I don’t snore. Now you, wow, I’m surprised the whole house doesn’t wake.”
Laughing they had a pillow fight until the two of them woke up a grumpy Zeck. “What are you two doing?
Jess threw her pillow and hit Zeck in the face. “What does it look like we are doing? I’m kicking Travis’s butt in a pillow fight.”
Zeck chuckled, grabbed his own pillow, and threw it at her. “Jess, you never win. Females are not as good as us males at games like this.”
Sticking her tongue out at her friends she felt light and realized she needed this. Zeck gathered her around the waist and got his other pillow and hit her with it.
