The Girl He Marked by Laila Callaway

Chapter 13 

Myra‘s POV. 

My alarm goes off on Tuesday morning and l blush as I remember my dreams from last night, this time I recall exactly who they featured, Jayce. I shiver as I think of all the things he did to me in my dream last night, of all the things I did to him. 

I arrive at work before nine so I get out my book to read, I can‘t help but picture each scene from the book in my head, starring Jayce. 

What is it with me and this guy? 

I don‘t think I‘ve ever fancied a guy so much, he‘s just so hot. I hope I don‘t see him today; I won‘t be able to look at him and not think of my dreams. 

Alpha Damien calls me into his office when he arrives at work, he gives me a rundown on some data retrieval missions that need to be carried out. A few of them, he needs my help with. I can find the files; Jayce can hack into them. Our first mission is this afternoon, Jayce is coming to retrieve the appropriate files but he‘s also a bodyguard, there‘s a potential for roques to attack or want the information for them selves. Alpha offered me the chance to turn this down, but I want to help him. 

Jayce pulls up in his car and I slide in, neither of us says a word as he drives us to the location. Truth be told, I‘m a little nervous. Thirty minutes later, Jayce pulls up at a derelict building surrounded by barbed wire fencing. He gets out of the car and uses bolt cutters to open the gates, I wait patiently as he gets back in and drives over to the building.

I play with my hands anx iously as he disappears from view. I feel edgy and paranoid as I glance around, at the trees
