“What kind of song is that?” He mumbled.

“Hush.” I shushed him and began to sing again.

A hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap,

A barrel and a heap and I'm talkin' in my sleep,

About you, about you…

Jason didn’t even make it to ten before he drifted off.

“Idiot.” I whispered softly before standing.

“My turn?”

I jumped and turned to find Ajax standing at the edge of the room. He looked good. For once, his wild bear appearance was tamed. His usually scruffy beard was trimmed, his hair combed, not covered in paint. It was hot.

I creeped away from Jason. “Jason mentioned something about taking turns before. Did you guys draw straws or something?”

“Yes.”

“And it’s your turn?”

He nodded with a grin.

I looked back over to the sleeping Jason and remembered what he had said about needing me near him. Looking back to Ajax I asked, "We won’t go far, will we?”

He shook his head.

“Okay, so what are we doing?”

“Food first.”

He ushered me towards the kitchen and gestured for me to sit at the table. For a large man, he moved around and prepared us lunch with such quiet grace, I would have akin him to a ballet dancer. It was nice to just sit and watch him as his hands moved swiftly, chopping up lettuce, peppers and onions. Pulling ground beef out of the fridge, he fried it up and added spices. I wondered what he was making until he pulled out a familiar box.

“I love tacos,” I whispered excitedly.

“Same,” he replied.

As Ajax cooked, I checked in on Jason. He was out like a light, snoring loudly on the couch.

I thought about what he had said before. Mates. I wondered what that meant for us now. In books, it was similar to marriage, yet deeper, on a more physical level, and not just a promise to each other and a title. But beyond the tingling sensation, I didn’t feel anything like what Jason felt. Certainly not constantly thinking about him and feeling physical discomfort when he wasn’t nearby.

What he was going through was almost scary.

Is what he felt for me due to the connection?

“Jason genuinely cares about you.”

I flinched and looked up at Ajax, who was standing next to me with a plate of tacos. “Did I say that out loud?”

He shook his head. “No.”

My brows furrowed. “Are you sure you can’t read minds?”

“I’m sure.”

“Then how could you have possibly known what I was thinking?”

“I felt it,” he tapped his head. “Empath.”

“Yeah, but empaths only feel emotions, right? Like when I’m angry or sad?”

“Practice. You felt worried, then unsure as you stared at Jason. From what I overheard, I connected the dots.”

“I don’t get you.” I scrunched my nose up at him. “You either emote like a caveman or spew out impossible knowledge.”

He shrugged. “I’m complicated.”

“I’m sorry, I just realized that was rather bitchy of me to say.” I whispered, my shoulders slumping. He didn’t deserve me saying that.

“But you weren’t wrong.” He grinned and put the plate down in front of me.
