If this was what heaven was like, I don’t know why anyone would complain about dying.
Was Jaylynns’ first thought as her eyes fluttered open, only to stare at the hottest guy she has ever seen in her life. He had long brown hair that stopped just before his chin. His eyes were a beautiful pair of hazel,that seemed to cut right through her. He was tall. Like, really tall. At least 6’5. And muscular.Very muscular. He looks like he came straight out of a Calvin Cline magazine. He had big, broad shoulders and his chest was very defined with a solid eight pack. His arms had muscles, lots of them.
He looked like a fallen angel carved out of stone. He was currently staring down at her with a mixture of shock, concern, and something else that Jaylynn couldn’t quite decipher. It was almost as if it was lov-
“Are you alright?”
Jaylynn blinked. Holy hell he had a sexy voice! His voice was deep, with a sexy lazy drawl to it. It oozed confidence, and sex. Jaylynn opened her mouth, ready to respond only to start going into a coughing fit.
Cannons’ concerned look intensified, furrowing his brows as he gently tucked a piece of her jet black hair away from her face, while lightly rubbing her back. Once Jaylynn finally got her coughing under control, she looked up at Cannon and tried again to answer his question.
“I’m okay.” Jaylynn croaked, wincing at the sound of her own voice. It sounded raspy and weak. It felt like she got the life choked out of her.
Oh wait..She did!
Jaylynn’s hands shot up to her throat. Letting out a slight hiss when she did. Cannon eyes zeroed in on her hands. Slowly, he reached out and lowered her hands and growled, as his hands started to tremble. For on her throat, there was a giant, dark bruise. It was shaped like a handprint. He was furious.
“I’ll kill him!” Cannon snarled.
Jaylynn shot him a surprised look, her eyes wide. Did he just…growl?
“What happened?” She asked, looking around. She was on the beach, which was a plus considering the last thing she remembered was being under the ocean. She looked over his shoulder, noticing the form of a big man sprawled out on the sand. He was knocked out cold. Her eyes flew back to Cannon.
“Did you do that?” Cannon glanced over his shoulder, looking at the man briefly before looking back at Jaylynn. “He was hurting you.” He said lowly, dangerously.
Jaylynns’ mouth dropped open, stunned. He did that? That was nuts! The guy had at least a hundred pounds on him!
“How did-I mean why would you-“ Jaylyn stuttered. “It was you! You saved me!” Jaylynn finally blurted out. “You’re the one who pulled me out of the water.” Cannons’ mouth twitched, letting out a small smirk. “I thought we established that already.”
Jaylynn rolled her eyes “Yes I know, but why” She looked down, avoiding his gaze. “You don’t even know me.” She said softly. Cannon frowned, reaching out and gently taking her chin between his thumb and turning her back to face him. He waited until her eyes hesitantly met his own before he answered. “Because you’re mine.” He said simply.
Jaylynn eyes widen at his words. She looked at him in complete bewilderment at the possessiveness in his tone. She worked her jaw up and down, trying desperately to think of a response. She would have laughed if it wasn’t for the fact that he was dead serious. It didn’t help that his words ignited a spark within her, her body responding to him with a power that left her breathless. So, she said the only thing that came to mind.
“Why are you naked?”
Cannon blinked at her for a moment, before, to her surprise, he threw his head back and laughed. Jaylynn startled giving him a look of disbelief.
“C’mon” Cannon chuckled and before she could protest, he wrapped his arms tighter around her and lifted her up into his arms. Jaylynn gasped. Quickly wrapping her arms around his neck. “Where are we going?” She yelped, tightening her grip on his neck when he began to move.
“Home.”
Jaylynn went stiff, hesitating. Logically she should fight her way out of his hold and scram. But she felt safe with him. A feeling that confused the hell out of her, she only met him. But, she couldn’t help the feelings that he made her feel. How her body responded to his touch. She felt safe, and a sense of belonging. Something that she hasn’t felt in a long time. She glanced up at him, only to stifle a started gasp to see his eyes looking back at hers.
“What’s your name?” He suddenly asked her. Jaylynn looked at him, startled at the realization that they didn’t even know each others names.
“Jaylynn.” She answered softly. “My name is Jaylynn.” Cannon nodded, before looking forward again as he entered the forest.
“What’s your name?” She timidly asked, peeking up at him from under her lashes. Cannon glanced back down at her. “Cannon.” He smiled. “Cannon LuBou.” Jaylynn nodded, giving him a small nervous smile back. “Well, thank you Cannon.” Jaylynn relaxed, leaning her head tiredly against his chest. Cannon gently squeezed her, pulling her closer to him. Tilting his head to the side, he gave her a small kiss on top of her head. “You’re welcome.”
Jaylynn closed her eyes and sighed. Falling asleep almost instantly wrapped around his warmth. Cannon, her savior.
