Jax laid with her head on Levi's shoulder, the blanket was the only thing covering them. They were alone. Her parents were out hunting Daimons and everyone else they knew thought they hated each other. Not even Miyu and Otto knew they were together. It had started out that they hated each other, but something changed and now they were inseparable. There was something about him that made her feel safe and loved. When he had his arms wrapped around her, Jax felt like nothing would ever touch her. Levi wouldn't let it.
"You think too much" he grumbled. Jax shifted to look up at him.
"You whine too much." Levi chuckled as he leaned down to kiss her forehead tenderly.
"What's going on in that pretty head of yours?"
"Doesn't Otto wonder where you are? Why you never patrol nights?" Levi shrugged he didn't really care he would rather be here with her.
"No, not really. He's too into Miyu to care. Besides," he smiled at her, "I wouldn't leave you anyway. Zeus knows what's out there to hurt you. If someone tried to force me to, I'd have to blow our cover." Jax leaned up and kissed the tip of his nose.
"I think I would too. We should tell them anyway. I want to go out on a real date, Levi."
"I know. Promise me your dad won't kill me and we'll tell them." Jaxon frowned as she thought about it. Her father was an ancient Roman whose favorite activities were death and torment. Well not for her dad, but for others of Ancient Rome and she was his only daughter. Oh yeah, he'd go loco. Probably drag Kyrian and Ash in too. Possibly Zarek. On second thought...
"Uncle Z won't let him kill you!"
"Psycho-ass? You're betting my life will be saved by Psycho-ass?" Jax shrugged.
"It's better than nothing" she defended herself. Levi laughed and rolled them so she was under him. "I love you Levi."
"I love you too, Jax. Don't ever leave me. I wouldn't know what to do without you." Jaxon leaned forward and kissed him soundly.
"Never." Levi pulled away with a look on his face. Suddenly his eyes widened and he shot out of the bed, getting dressed.
"I've got to go, you're parents are home." He quickly kissed her before scaling down the tree outside her window. Jax laughed as she pulled her pajamas on before watching Levi running across the yard. She slid the window closed and fell back onto her bed as Valerius entered.
"What are you doing up still?" Jaxon shrugged.
"I couldn't sleep" she lied. Valerius shot her a look that clearly said he didn't believe her, but he didn't push. She would tell him in her own time. She always did. "But now that I know you guys are home and safe I think I'll sleep now. Got to be up for class in a bit." Valerius kissed the top of her head.
"Good night, filia" he whispered. Jax smiled as her dad used the Latin for daughter, his pet name for her.
"Night, tata." Her nickname for him which was Latin for Daddy. Valerius left and Jax laid down and fell into a fitful sleep. Something was about to go down and she was going to be in the middle of it. She needed to tell Levi soon, he needed to know since she had a feeling he was going to be involved too. If only she knew what was going to happen.

"Ugh you pig, would you put some distance between us?" Jaxon sneered at Levi as she sat in the backseat of Otto's SUV with him. Miyu and Otto chuckled from up front. Levi shot her a look and snorted. They could play their parts well.
"But don't you just want to snuggle to conserve body heat? It's awfully cold back here" he said with a grin. Jax leaned forward and flipped the air conditioning to heat.
"There. Now it's not cold. Personal space Levi." This was their common fight, since Otto gave the girls a lift to their classes. Unfortunately Levi got to tag along with Otto. Lucky her.
"I'm hurt, Jaxon. You don't like me?" Jax snorted.
"What gave you that completely correct idea?" Levi grinned at her. Jax wanted to kiss him. Ugh, keeping this secret sucked.
"Perhaps it is the fights you two have every damned day" Otto grunted. Miyu smacked his arm and Levi and Jax shared a look as Otto grabbed her hand and held it. Only friends their butts. "Or perhaps it's the years of sexual tension building. One day I'm going to look back there and you two are going to be going at it." Jax could almost hear Levi thinking 'I wish!'. "Here's your building. Out you go." Jax and Levi slid out of the car and started towards her class. As their friends pulled away, Levi grabbed Jax's hand and dragged her to a secluded corner so he could kiss her.
"A lot of sexual tension, huh? I think I can fix that" he muttered against her throat. Jax laughed and pushed him back.
"Alright, but later, I've got to get to class now." She threaded her fingers through his and pulled him along. "I still want to know why Ash made you immortal and my body guard. You don't think he knows do you?" Levi shrugged.
"That man knows a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if he did." Jax frowned. If he knew, then he could easily tell her dad. And heads would roll when Valerius Magnus found out his daughter was sleeping with a squire. A Dorean, Blood Rite squire no less. Kill then ask questions later was his motto. Especially when it came to her. "Don't worry. Everything will work out in the end, ma belle princesse romaine." Jax loved when he spoke French, especially when he used his name for her. My beautiful Roman princess. She kissed him as he pulled away to lean against the wall outside her class as she slipped inside.

He watched them both. The girl was the one he was after, but it seemed to get to her he had to go through the squire. That was going to be a bit tougher, but he would do it. That girl would be the key to get to the twins and their Hunters. He could finally get what he wanted. He just had to wait until the time was right.
