Chapter 169 : A Big Happy Family

Sara

I listened to Jaxon's heartbeat as I lay on his chest, a soft smile spreading across my face as we both caught our breath. I always loved the moments right after we'd just made love, I never felt closer to him than I did in those moments. I turned my head and looked up at him, a frown replacing my smile as I noticed his thousand-yard stare.

I had hoped that our sex session would be a nice and welcome distraction for him after the night we'd had, but it didn't seem to have worked. I raised my hand to cup his face as I looked at him with concerned eyes.

"Jaxon," I said softly, "are you okay?"

He jolted slightly before looking down at me with a half-hearted smile and a shrug. "I'm okay, Sara, don't worry about me. I'm just thinking."

"What are you thinking?" I asked, even though I already had a sneaking suspicion of what was running through his mind.
