Sasha Swift

16. My Boyfriend

Sasha

When we finally reach my car after a few hours of walking Theo gets so excited I thought he was going to explode. The little guy has never seen a human automobile before. His words, not mine. While I am driving he plays with every button possible.

Theo doesn't know much about the outside world having never left elf country. I feel like his mentor and I have decided that while we look for Queen Merda I will try to show Theo the good parts of the outside world. Being with me already will have him witness all the bad that comes with my job. But we can at least have fun while we travel.

Once we reach the nearest town we stop and eat ice cream. Theo had to try about five different flavors and ended up with a brain freeze. We also go into the local grocery store and I show Theo how we humans shop. The trip ended up with us buying way too many snacks.

Now we are staying at a cheap motel. I decide to order in because I am already exhausted. If this is what having a child is like then I don't think I will ever be ready. I had to keep Theo from running off several times and he walked in front of traffic twice. Luckily for me, he is still in one piece.

We enter the room both our hands full of snacks and an overnight bag. Theo rushes in dropping his bags right by the door. He runs over to the first bed he sees and jumps up and down on it.

"Wow, these are so lumpy! Swift are all human beds this uncomfortable. No wonder you have back problems."

"I do not have back problems. I'm only twenty-one! Now get off the bed Theo. That one is mine. You can have the other." Theo sighs and gets up from my bed.

Before Theo reaches his bed he spots the TV remote and starts flipping through the channels. He makes the funniest faces then flip to another channel. It's hilarious but I need to put stuff up.

I put all the snacks away and then lay on my bed. I grab my phone out of my bag and realize it's dead now. I put it on the charger and use the phone in the room to order pizza for us. Theo has never had pizza and is excited to try it. I decide to get many toppings.

As I lay down my eyes start to shut but then I hear a knock and sit up. The pizza must be here already.

"I'll get it, Theo." Theo doesn't answer me just continues flipping through the TV channels.

When I reach the door I can already smell the warm pizza. My stomach starts to growl. I open my door and I'm surprised. It's Jax who is holding the pizza delivery guy by the back of his shirt.

"Jax what the hell!" His eyes are red and he growls at me, obviously pissed.

"Do you know how hard it was to track you down? Why haven't you answered your phone?" I open my mouth to answer but then Jax looks over my shoulder into the room.

In a flash, Jax zooms across the room. Dropping the pizza delivery guy and grabbing Theo shoving him against the wall his hand wrapped around his throat.

"Who the hell is this? Tell me elf do you think she tastes as good as she looks?" He slams Theo's head back into the wall. "I will kill you slowly for touching what is mine!" He growls and I'm pissed what the hell is wrong with Jax and being so possessive over me?

I grab the pizza from the delivery guy and slam the door in his face. Sitting the pizza on my bed I run over to Jax and Theo. Jax still hasn't let go and Theo looks surprised and terrified.

"Swift why is a vampire trying to kill me?"

"I'm sorry Theo. Jax put him down now! Theo is just helping me with a mission. Nothing else is going on!" I'm not sure if Jax even hears me. He continues to glare at Theo and growls again before dropping him. Theo falls to the ground and I help him up.

"Don't touch me again vampire next time I won't let you off so easily." Theo glares at Jax who takes another step towards him. I put my hand on Jax's chest holding him back.

"Theo please don't make him angrier." I turn to Jax and push him. He looks surprised at my action and I push him again. "Who do you think you are coming into my hotel room and bothering my friend!"

"Friend? He is an elf and they can't be trusted!" Jax looks from Theo to me. "Can you blame me for being worried? You weren't answering your phone then I find you in a motel room with another guy." I start laughing and soon I can't control it.

Jax looks unamused and folds his arm across his chest. "It's not that funny. Your beautiful any guy would want you." He mutters. I stop laughing and look at Jax. He has dark circles around his eyes and his hair is disheveled like he hasn't slept in days.

"I'm sorry Jax but Theo is only fifteen. He is a kid. Nothing is going on between us. Trust me I want no one but you. And even you are pushing it." Jax smirks and grabs ahold of my waist pulling me to his chest.

Placing a strand of hair behind my ear Jax starts to whisper. "Damn I missed you so much, Sasha. My body craves to be near you. I want you." He leans forward placing his lips gently on mine.

Our kiss deepens and I wrap my arms around his neck. His tongue meets mine and his hand slides up the back of my shirt rubbing my back. I start to get lost in the moment when a voice interrupts.

"Swift what the hell! Your dating a vampire? You didn't tell me that you naughty girl." Theo is right beside us now his arms folded and he is looking us both up and down.

I pull away from Jax who is hesitant to let go. But I manage to get away but still, he places his hand on my lower back.

"Sorry, Theo it's still sort of new. Plus it's kind of strange a vampire hunter dating a vampire." Theo shakes his head.

"I would think so. People would freak if they got word of this." Jax growls at his answer.

"No one will hear about this. So tell me what's the plan. I want to help." He says. I start waving my hands frantically.

"Damn it guys! I work alone! How many times do I have to say this?" Jax and Theo both stare at me before they turn to each other.

"So Queen Merda was on her way to Squires Market. I think we should check there first." Theo tells Jax.

"Great I have been there before it's mostly witches and older supes. It's in a secluded area so we should scout the woods nearby also."

Theo and Jax continue talking about their plan like I'm not even here. I sigh and grab a slice of pizza from my bed. I eat and check my phone which is finally charged enough to use. As I watch the boys I'm surprised to see them getting along so well after trying to kill each other moments ago.

Somehow I fall asleep. I feel the covers move and an arm wrap around my waist. A gentle kiss is felt on my neck.

"Good night love." Is the last thing I hear before I fall back asleep.
