Broken Mate (MM) (COMPLETE)

Chapter Thirteen

Knox Brigg

Alexander is curled up in his bed, fast asleep. He took the sedative and pretty much fell asleep right after. I'm so proud of him for fighting through it. It was scary as fuck, because i could see in his eyes he wasn't there. He was fighting though, my angel's a fighter.

I slip out of his room, answering my phone as soon as the door shuts.

"Hey Knox, haven't heard from you. Everything okay?" my sister's voice comes from the other line. I slump against the door, letting out a heavy breath.

"Yeah, Alexander is just going through a lot and I'm trying to be here. I don't really know what I'm doing, yano?" I tell her how I feel, because I know she'll never judge.

"Knox, I'm sure you're doing great. Just being there for him im sure means a lot. You deserve more credit then you think"

"Thanks, Liv. I just don't want to let him down. He deserves the world. He's such a special kid "I murmured, running my fingers through my hair.

"I'm sure you'll give him it. Listen, I gotta go. I just wanted to make sure you were alive. Come visit soon? You can bring him, too" she says.

"Okay, will do" I murmured, before hanging up. I let my head fall back against the door, and that's when I heard a grunt. My spine snaps straight, and my eyes find Peyton.

"Yano, she's right. You deserve more credit than you're giving yourself. I've never seen Xan have one of those breakdowns that didn't end in him going to the hospital. And that's because of you, helping him through it. Xan is our baby, and this whole having an older mate is hard for us, because he's so young. Because he's always going to have his struggles. But seeing you with him? We're so happy he has you" Peyton says, crossing his arms over his chest.

"I'm not sure what I'm doing, but I'm doing what i can"

"It's enough." Peyton says roughly. "You don't understand the pain that kid has gone through, and how much he's changed with you being here. It's enough, Knox"

My eyes crack open, the sun shining in my face. Squinting my eyes, I glance down.

Xan is sprawled out, but he's practically on top of my body. His thigh is shoved between both of mine. His upper half of his body is on me completely, and his face is buried in my neck.

He's snoring so lightly, and his arm is loosely around my body. My arm is wrapped around his torso, holding his body to mine.

His head whips up, almost head butting me. His hair is wild, and his eyes are wide. He relaxes slightly when he sees me, and he sinks back into me. "You're really comfy," he whispers.

He makes me laugh, and I flip us quickly, my body settling between his legs, which wrap around my waist. He shrieks, and then laughs. He's so small.

"You're very cuddly. Like a little koala "I murmured, my hands sinking into the bed beside his head, to hold myself up. His pupils are dilated, and he licks his lips.

"You're so cuddleable. Can't help myself" he murmurs, his voice rougher than it was a second ago. And it's so sexy. My dick starts to perk, the position, the way he's looking at me, the way he licks his bottom lip. That voice.

"Can I kiss you?" I blurted, my eyes dropping down to his lips.

"I'd really like it if you did," he whispers, and my eyes snap up to him. He arches into me. Leaning in, until my body is sealed to his. Our faces are mere inches away. I don't know if we should talk more about this, but all I can think about is his lips.
