My Mate, My Moon

Breaking Balls

Macy POV

Jax and I head to our assigned pool table and Jack's drapes his leather jacket over the back of one of the high stools that sits along the wall next to our table.

the place is not too busy, there's a group of rowdy guys playing at a table not too far from us.

Jack strides to the wall where the rack of pool sticks are, and grabs two. he walks over to me and hands me one.

" Do you play?" he asks, as he reaches into the ball corral and places the balls into the triangle rack.

" I'm familiar."

" good, how does the game of 8 ball sound?"

" that's fine." I say, as I grab the square of chalk and rub the tip of the stick with it.

Jack sets the balls and removes the rack. he stalks his way to the opposite side of the table eyeing me as I casually watch him.

" mind if I break?" he asks.

" by all means." I say, while gesturing my hands towards the table as if displaying it to him.

I lean back against one of the stools and hold eye contact with Jax as he leans down to line up his shot.

he pulls the stick back and I bite my lower lip. his eyes shoot to my mouth just as he pushes the stick forward forcefully to hit the cue ball.

the break was weak at best and I cover my mouth to suppress a giggle.

Jax stands up shaking his head, disappointed with his result.

he walks over to me. he steps in front of me and says,

" are you going to play dirty, princess?"

" I don't know what you mean.." I say, feigning innocence.

he reaches up to my chin and slides his thumb across my bottom lip. his eyes don't leave my mouth.

" don't bite this lip, short stuff, not if you want this night to remain PG." he says, in a husky voice.

"Noted." I say as I place my hand on his chest and slowly push him back so I can make my way to the pool table.

he drops his hand and lets me pass. I look over the table deciding what shot I should take.

I lean over the table and Jax clears his throat. I look over my left arm at him and he says,

" why don't we make this interesting.. for every ball we sink we get to ask the other a question. anything goes."

I shrug, "that's fine. I have nothing to hide." I line up my shot to hit the 2 ball into the corner pocket. I pull back and push forward and sink the ball.

I stand up and look at Jax with a smile on my face.

" I'm solids." I state.

"Ask your first question, Princess." he says, leaning his back against the stool.

I walk around the table looking for my next shot. I see it and lean down to line up my shot.

"Why did you want to hangout with me?" I ask, as I hit the cue ball into the 4 ball and it stops just shy of the pocket.

" you intrigue me." he says plainly.

he walks his way to the table bends down to take his shot. he sinks the 13 into the side pocket. he looks up at me and flashes a smile.

" are you seeing anyone romantically?" he asks, while adjusting for another shot.

" No." I noticed his shoulders relax.. is he nervous?

he takes a shot and sinks the 10 but the cue ball follows into the pocket behind it.

"Scratch, no question for you!" I announce, while sticking my tongue out at him between my teeth.

I stand and grab the ball and place it where I want it. I take my shot and sink the 4.

" what are your intentions with me?" I ask bluntly looking directly in his eyes.

Jax POV

if I answer that honestly the answer would be, to make you the Luna of my pack. but I can't say that.. I hate hiding such a big part of who I am from her, but I can't risk scaring her away or thinking I'm crazy.

I slowly stalk up to her and I graze the back of my fingers along her cheek while my other hand pushes her hair back behind her shoulder.

" to break down that wall that you have.." I pause, as I slide my fingers lightly down the side of her neck to her collarbone to just above her breast and I press my palm against her chest. "right here." I finnish.

I hear her heart racing and her breath picks up. I lean down and slide my nose up her neck and I let my breath raise her ear. and I whisper,

" Its your shot, love."

I take one last inhale of her scent before I back away from her. the scent of her arousal is flooding my senses, I need to back away. I can feel Max starting to stir.

Macy clears her throat trying to regain her composure. I'm enjoying the fact that my proximity alone can break her resolve.

she looks back at the table for her next shot. she is visibly flustered but trying to get herself together.

she takes her shot and sinks the one ball.

"How many girls are you talking to?" she asks, almost looking irritated with me.

I shake my head and sigh." just you Macy. " I respond matter of factly.

she seems surprised that I used her name and not a nickname. but I wanted her to know I was serious.

she's clearly not backing down from the misconception she has of me.

she goes back to the table and sinks another ball.

" what do you find so intriguing about me? you don't even know me."

I take a deep breath. and I walk up to her once again. she takes a step back from me this time and I stopped my advance.

" is there anything I could say that would make you see that I'm being honest with you?"

" that's not an answer. and it's not your turn to ask a question. just be honest. if you just want to sleep with me then just say that! I'm a big girl! I'm no stranger to casual s*x!" she says starting to raise her voice.

Max pushes to the surface before I could stop him. Max is now in full control of my human form. he growls and stalks forward with shared determination.

Macy's eyes widen in surprise seeing the clear shift in my demeanor.

he reaches his hand out and grabs her by the throat and pulls her to his chest his other arm wraps around the small of her back. he releases her throat and tips her chin up to meet his eyes. he starts to purr as he leans down and brushes her nose with ours.

" you are not a toy for me to play with. I would love nothing more than to bed you but that is not the only reason I'm here. I would burn this world to the ground just to keep you by my side. " he growls.

Macy's stunned, as Max buries our nose in her neck filling our senses with her scent to calm him. Macy's frozen but manages to whisper, "Why?"

" You Belong To Me."
