Jaxon

So far, Jaxon’s plan to not get attached to Lucy was failing miserably. He’d survived nearly a full week of escorting her to and from her classes but not without her sending his body into overdrive at every opportunity.

Tuesday had been unseasonably cold and Lucy hadn’t dressed for the weather. Jaxon had to pull over halfway across campus to lend her his sweatshirt. It was his basketball hoodie from his old high school and she practically swam in it, but seeing her wear something that was his made his heart want to claim her even more. It didn’t help that she continued to shiver beside him so he was forced to tuck her against his side as he wrapped one arm around her for warmth. She’d leaned into him and gave a soft sigh that reeked havoc on his possessive desires.

The next day, the weather was much of the same and Lucy surprised him by greeting him at her door wearing his sweatshirt again. He’d realized he’d forgotten to ask for it back when he dropped her off the day before. Although, even if he had remembered, he foolishly would’ve told her to keep it. Seeing his name and number stamped across Lucy’s back unleashed something inside Jaxon that made his heart roar ‘mine’ with each beat.

Thursday, the cold front vanished and Lucy greeted Jaxon wearing a sundress and a thin school cardigan. And goddamn if that wasn’t sexier than seeing her in his hoodie. By the afternoon, she was no longer wearing the cardigan and Jaxon didn’t know where to look—the thin spaghetti straps that repeatedly slid down her thin shoulders, or her perfectly toned thighs when the soft breeze lifted her gauzy skirt.

It was sensory overload, and the tightness in his chest, and a few other places, was beginning to grow unbearable. Then, when Lucy had been getting out of the golf cart, Jaxon noticed her shoe was untied. He’d jumped out to tie it, bending down to double knot the laces of her single white converse, when he felt her fingers in his hair. He’d gone utterly still, not sure if he was dreaming. But then she spoke. “Make a wish.”

Jaxon looked up to see her holding a single fluff of dandelion. He swallowed down the wish that bubbled to the forefront of his mind. Instead he said, “You make it.”

She smiled down at him shaking her head. “I can’t, it was in your hair.”

“I can’t think of one,” he lied.

“Oh come on.” Her smile made it heard to breathe. “Did you know that dandelion seeds can be carried five miles from their origin? This little guy traveled pretty far to grant you a wish. I wouldn’t waste it if I were you.”

Jaxon stood up and Lucy held the seed up to his lips. Her delicate fingers were so close to his mouth that he didn’t trust himself to speak. But there was so much light in her smile that he didn’t want to disappoint her. He closed his eyes and let a wish fill his heart and then he blew the seed from her fingertips.
