CAROLINE POV
I woke up the next morning to something heavy on my chest.
Jaxon.
I rubbed the sleep away from my eyes and looked down at his sleeping form. His head on my chest and his arms on my sides. He was naked with the duvet covering the lower part of his body as his upper body kept me warm in this spiking cold.
I looked at the clock on the wall and it was already 10 AM. I looked back at him and his jet black hair was a mess. Long strands brushing against his long thick eyelashes. His lips full-on pink pout.
He looked so... peaceful. Considering what happened yesterday.
I pushed my fingers in his soft hair. Lightly scratching his scalp as I heard him purr in content. He looked up at me with no sleep in his browns eyes, little dirt on his temple. His arms had spots of dirt as were his fingers and his palms were red. His chin rested on my chest as she looked at me with a bright smile. I asked, "When did you come back?" He sighed "Just now. I had a long run last night."
"You were out all night?"
"Yeah."
I sighed "Did it help?" He shook his head in silence.
"You wanna talk about it more with me?"
He shook his head again in silence and I understood it. I wouldn't want anyone pressuring me when I'm not ready to talk and I respected that boundary between us.
He pecked my lips and said"I wanna show you the new cabin. Get up and I'll get you something to eat, okay?" I nodded with a smiled as he kissed me again and got up.

After a short shower, I came out to the smell of bacon, eggs, and butter.
I went into the kitchen and saw him cooking shirtless. He didn't even turn around. I sat on the high chair of the kitchen island. My chin was in my palm and the corner of my bottom lip was between my teeth as I noticed how every muscle flexed as he cooked.
Without even looking back, he said"It's creepy to gaze at the chef, Care."
He turned around with a huge grin on his face. Two plates in his hands filled with bacon, butter scrambled eggs, and toasts with jam. I smiled back at him as he put my breakfast in front of me and went around to sit beside me. But before he could, he wrapped his long strong arms around me and lightly kissed my cheek and then my temple.
He finally sat beside me and took a bite of his eggs. I asked, "So... where do you wanna take me?" He replied "First, I wanna get out of this cabin and shift all our stuff into the cabin I bought. Second, I wanna show you my favorite place, and maybe we could even have a picnic there if you like." I asked curiously "But what about talking to your father today?" He shook his head and said "I don't wanna deal with that now. You came to where I used to live my life from childhood through my grumpy teenage hood. I just wanna show you everything." I smiled at his cuteness and excitement of wanting to show me everything that I said "I'd love to see it all." He smiled wider and began eating his breakfast.
