Mari remained in bed for a long time after Jax finally fell asleep.
She lay curled against his side with her fingers buried lazily in his white hair.
A small smile stayed on her lips.
Every time she thought about the conversation they had shared, her heart fluttered all over again.
Marriage.
Jax wanted to marry her.
The thought of her getting married to someone she felt this way about still felt unreal.
Mari groaned softly when she felt the intense pressure in her bladder.
She needed to pee very badly.
As much as she wanted to just lie there for hours beside him until he woke up, Mari couldn't deny the call of nature anymore.
She'd been feeling pressed for a while and needed to empty her bladder or risk doing it right there on the bed.
Carefully, she lifted Jax's arm from around her waist.
The moment she moved, he frowned slightly in his sleep.
Mari paused.
Jax shifted once then settled again.
