Mount Olympus [10]

Jag

I nod slowly and bring a hand to the side of her face, "I won't try anything, but I'll defend my mate if I have to. I love you, Em. No one touches you but me."

Emma

I smile and kiss him quickly again, "I love you too. Just...don't kill anyone."

Jag

I smile back and kiss her in return, nodding, "I'll try not to. Eli won't let me do anything stupid around Niki, not while she's with pups. He was protective of most of us before, but he'll be even more now. Riv too. Beth'll be the same, but she's Beth. She'll have to worry about her own mate."

Emma

I nod, twining my hand with his and leading him out, "I know."

Jag

I nod again and sigh, following her.

Emma

I see Eli and Niki ahead of us and chuckle, playfully running up behind them and screaming. Niki screams with me and swings around, punching me straight in the jaw but covering her mouth afterwards. I chuckle, shaking it off, and she swallows, "I'm sorry! You just scared the sh*t out of me."

I smile and shake my head, taking Jag's hand again, "It's okay...I'll heal."

Jag

I take Emma in my arms afterwards, as Elijah does to Niki. He sighs when he sees they're both okay, and I do the same.

Emma

I walk beside them, telling Jag I'm okay while I look at Niki, "Next week, if you don't want to wait anymore for the pups, I can do that again. They'd slip right out."

She raises an eyebrow, "And risk their little hearts to get a heart attack? Uh, no."

I shrug, "Just saying."

Jag

Elijah studies Emma before shaking his head and looking back at Niki, not approving of that. I keep close to Emma and squeeze her hand, watching her as we walk.

Emma

I look around when we get to the ball, fancy music playing and couples dancing. My eyes scan the place and I look back at Jag with a smile.

Jag

I look around at everything, smiling when Emma looks back at me, "Care to dance?"

Emma

Smile and put on a British accent before bowing like they do before taking his hand, "Of course."

Jag

I smile wider before kissing her hand and bowing back, leading her onto the dancefloor.

Emma

I smile, wrapping my arms around his neck once we get there, "It's gonna be interesting to see what dance moves you have. I'm a dancer so it's easy for me..." I bite my lip.

Jag

I match her smile and sling my arms around her hips, "I'm only three weeks old. I don't even know what dance moves I have."
