His brows furrowed in frustration. "You keep tensing up and it's making me lose my grip."

Jax's POV I was fully stretched when I noticed the office door opening and everyone filing out.

"Uhh---"
"Guys!" Another blond girl showed up behind them. She gave them knowing looks and said through gritted teeth. "We're supposed to be welcoming." She turned back to me with a smile. "Hi, I'm Gen."
