Sons of Anarchy//Jax x OC
Summary: Detective Lorelei Hale has spent her life chasing justice, believing in clear lines between right and wrong but Charming has always been a town of shadows and compromises. She never imagined she would be pulled so deep into them.
Then Jax Teller comes back into her life. The boy she once knew has grown into a man shaped by danger, loyalty, and a world she cannot fully trust. He is not the man in charge yet, but he carries the weight of the club and the streets in a way that makes her question everything she has sworn to uphold.
A series of crimes drags her closer to the Sons of Anarchy than she ever intended. Every investigation forces her to navigate a world where survival often outweighs morality and where loyalty is measured in blood.

Every choice has consequences. Every secret threatens to unravel her. And standing on the edge may be the only way to survive.
Summary: Your morning in bed with Jax gets interrupted by club business, and after a long day spent barely staying in control of himself, he finally gets to pick up where you and he left off, this time on the kitchen table.

Jax had been out all day long with the club, handling business that was more annoying rather than stressful to deal with, like it usually is.Â
Heâd missed you for the majority of the day, especially since yours and his morning got interrupted earlier.Â
Jax had been in the middle of getting his fill of you, starting his day off right with his head buried between your thighs, when heâd gotten a call from Chibs. Apparently there were some issues with the side business theyâd been working on, and it needed to be fixed right away so the club didnât look like they had no idea what they were doing.Â
The Sons had a certain reputation, and yes it needed to be upheld, but it couldnât have waited another half an hour?
Apparently not, so Jax had to leave you before he could make you fall apart on his fingers, tongue and cock, and he had to go deal with it. It took most of the day going back and forth, which was quite irritating since it couldâve been dealt with at a much later time in his opinion, but it was still important either way.Â
With that being said, Jax missed you, and he was wound up really fucking tight and wanted to get back home to you and finish what you and he had started in the bedroom this morning.Â
He got home just after dinner, his eyes instinctively searching for you as soon as he stepped through the door. When he saw movement in the kitchen, he looked over to see you slightly bent over the table, your hip jutted out as you flipped through the cookbook his mother had let you borrow.Â
Jax felt his jeans tighten instantly, his cock twitching with interest as he walked into the kitchen, standing behind you as he held back a groan at what you were wearing.Â
A flannel, his flannel that looked massive on you, a pair of panties, and nothing else. The buttons of the flannel were done up just halfway, and he wanted nothing more than to rip it open, bend you over the table, and grab your tits as he fucked you from behind.Â
He stepped closer, his hands coming up to grab onto your hips, and he leaned down to kiss your cheek, âBabe,â he greeted, noticing how deep and barely-restrained his voice sounded even to his own ears.Â
You looked over your shoulder at him and smiled. âHi, baby,â you said back, only letting your eyes linger on his for a few more moments before you looked away again and back down at the open book. You flipped through the pages, biting down on your lip and making Jax refrain from bending you over right then and there. âI canât find the recipe for that chili your mom made the first time I met her. She told me it was in here, but I canât find it and I wanted to make it for dinner tomorrow.â
Jax listened to you ramble as best as he could, but he really wasnât paying much attention to what you were saying. His focus was very far away from some old family recipe heâd had countless times before.Â
One of his hands left your hip and lifted to your stomach, and he placed his palm firmly against you, pulling your body back against his. He heard the way your breath hitched, your body tensing up just slightly before relaxing again, and he smirked, leaning in and nuzzling his nose against the side of your neck. âI really donât give a fuck about the chili right now, baby,â he murmured, dragging his teeth along the shell of your ear as his fingers started to pull at the buttons of the flannel. âIâm starvinâ for somethinâ else. Been thinkinâ âbout you all goddamn day.âÂ
He pressed himself closer to you, letting you feel just how true those words are as his cock strained against the zipper of his jeans. âOh,â you breathed, staying still as you let him undo the buttons on his shirt. âHave you?â you asked, and you were already starting to tease him as you subtly wiggled your ass back against him.Â
Jax groaned, cursing under his breath as he pushed his hips forward, grinding against you. âYou know I have,â he muttered, âCouldnât focus on a fuckinâ thing. Kept thinkinâ âbout how I left you this morninâ. Didnât even get to make you cum. That makes me a bad fuckinâ husband.âÂ
You whimpered softly when he tugged the flannel down your shoulders, the fabric pooling around your elbows and exposing your breasts to his dark, greedy eyes. His hands came up to palm them both, and you pressed your lips together as you shook your head, âYouâre not a⊠bad husband, Jax,â you whispered as his thumbs brushed along your nipples. âYou just have⊠a lot of shit you need to do every day. I donât blame you for that.â
He grunted against your skin as he leaned in and pressed kisses along your neck and throat, one hand leaving your chest and sliding down your body. âI know you donât, babe. âS why youâre so fuckinâ perfect,â he rasped, slipping one hand inside your panties and covering your core with it. âBut I still gotta make it up to you. Donât like leavinâ you like that at all.â
You moaned, your eyes falling shut as your head tipped back onto his shoulder. âWe did get interrupted this morning, didnât we?â you relented, still teasingly dragging your ass back and forth along the front of his jeans.Â
Jax groaned at the reminder, his mouth watering at the thought of picking right back up where you and he left off. âMm, yeah, we did. Was in the middle of eatinâ my breakfast,â he mumbled, âWas gonna make you cum so hard for me, right on my tongue. Guess Iâll just have to do it now instead.â
His hand gave your breast a firm squeeze, his other hand leaving your core and latching onto your other breast once more. He rocked his hips against your backside, feeling his cock throb inside his jeans as he dipped his head further down and kissed along your jaw.Â
âYou have no fuckinâ idea how hot you look right now,â he muttered, turning you around to face him, his hands moving to your waist to gently shove you back against the edge of the table. âBeen thinkinâ âbout this fuckinâ body all day.â he added as he ducked his head down and captured one of your nipples in his mouth, sucking roughly.Â
Another moan left your mouth, and you shut your eyes as his hands moved around your body, giving your ass a rough squeeze. âWhat have you been thinking about?â you asked, lifting your hands up and tugging at the leather of his kutte. You tugged it away from his body, and he let it fall to the floor before his hands were back on you.Â
âBeen thinkinâ âbout this. Thinkinâ âbout bendinâ you over and fuckinâ you so good. How wet and tight you are for me,â he grunted, âCould taste you all day, baby. Drove me fuckinâ insane.â
Your eyes opened at that, and you grabbed onto his shoulders as he grabbed onto your hip with one hand, the other one sliding beneath the thin fabric of your panties once more. âThatâs what you get for leaving without making me cum,â you said, and Jax huffed out a laugh.Â
His fingers became coated in your wetness, and he slowly eased two of his fingers inside you, his teeth dragging along his lower lip as he watched your expression shift at the feeling. âShit, youâre so wet for me. Been waitinâ for me, huh?â he said under his breath, watching the way you eagerly nodded.Â
Jax hummed, dragging his fingers along your walls before pulling them back out, and he lifted them to his mouth, cleaning them of your arousal. He watched the way your eyes flickered down to his mouth, your face flushing as he sucked on his fingers, and your grip on his shoulders tightened just slightly.Â
He reached down and yanked your panties down your legs, tossing them behind him before he lifted you up onto the table, spreading your thighs wide. Jax dropped to his knees before you, guiding your legs over his shoulders and pulling you close to the edge of the table. âGonna finish what I started,â he said, hearing the way your breath hitched before he leaned in and licked between your folds, collecting your wetness like heâd been craving all day.Â
Your hands braced behind you on the table, your head tipping back as soon as his mouth was on you. âJax,â you whined as he picked right back up where heâd left off this morning. âNeeded you so badly.â
Jax looked up at you, and the sight had his cock throbbing even more. You were leaning back on the table, his flannel around your elbows and exposing your tits, and God, you looked like every single wet dream heâs ever fucking had.Â
He was starving for you, and that much was obvious from the way he buried his face in your pussy, his tongue licking and lapping at you with even more desperation than it was this morning. âNeeded this too,â he muttered, finally tearing his gaze off your face. His nose bumped against your clit as he dove back in, his hands holding onto your hips to keep you in place when you started bucking against his mouth.Â
His tongue slid inside of you, creating a wet, sticky mess between your thighs, but that was how he liked it. He liked when you made a mess of him, too.Â
A sharp gasp left your lips, your hands grabbing onto his hair as you pushed against his hands, bucking against his face once again. âJax, please,â you begged, already reduced to how heâd gotten you earlier, but this time he had no plans on stopping, and he was not allowing himself to be interrupted again.Â
His hands wrapped under your thighs, bringing you closer and making your fingers cling onto his hair tighter as you almost lost your balance. Jax huffed out a laugh, pulling away from you with wet lips, âItâs alright, babe. I ainât gonna let you fall,â he mumbled deeply, the corners of his lips turning upwards. âLeast not like that.â
You rolled your eyes at that, digging your heel into his upper back, trying to not so subtly pull him back in. âYouâre funny,â you said under your breath, âBut I donât feel like laughing right now, so keep going.â
Jax let out a deep laugh, shaking his head even as he moved back towards you. âBossy,â he muttered, holding onto your thighs with a firm grip.Â
âYou married me,â you pointed out, your thighs shaking a bit as he leaned in and dragged his tongue along you once more.Â
He hummed, âBest decision of my life,â he said, giving you a much softer grin before he was all over you again.Â
His tongue dragged up and down your folds, feeling the way your thighs trembled even more at either side of his head, and then he was sucking your clit into his mouth. Your body jolted, your nails scratching along his scalp as you ripped one hand away from his head, reaching behind you to grab onto the edge of the table instead.Â
âOh, fuck,â you moaned, closing your eyes again as your head fell back. Your chest pushed forward as your back arched, and Jax looked up at you through hooded eyes, his tongue moving between your clit and your opening over and over again until he got you there - right where he wanted you.Â
A loud, dragged out moan left your lips as you came, your legs trying to close around his head but he didnât stop, instead working you through it as you gasped at the sensitivity. Jax lapped at your core, licking and sucking and kissing all over until you slumped back on the table, your body still tense as your stomach quivered.Â
âThere you go, thatâs it. Tastes so fuckinâ good, baby,â he murmured, turning his head and nuzzling his nose along your inner thigh before placing one final, open mouthed kiss there. He pulled back and stood up, shamelessly licking at his wet lips as he reached down and undid his belt, then unzipped his jeans.Â
He stepped closer to you, reaching down to grab your hand with one of his, gently pulling you back up so you were sitting. His other hand slid up your back before tangling in your hair, and he tilted your head back before leaning down and kissing you deeply, sharing your taste with you.Â
Just as you were starting to deepen the kiss even more, Jax pulled away, his hands moving down to your hips. He lifted you from the table, then turned you around and bent you over it, one hand on your back guiding you lower until your chest was pressed against the surface.Â
He pushed down his jeans and boxers, freeing his cock that nearly ached at the relief of escaping the tightness of his boxers. He grasped himself in one hand, guiding the head of his cock to rub up and down your puffy folds, and a slow, smug smirk formed on his face as you whimpered.Â
âJax,â you begged, âPlease.â
His smirk only grew as he leaned over you, pressing a kiss to your shoulder blade. âItâs okay, baby,â he teased, âYou donât gotta beg me. Not tonight.â
You huffed out a breath of air at that, only to quickly inhale it back in when he pushed the first couple of inches of his cock inside you, your hands instantly moving to grab onto the edge of the table. âOh, fuck,â you gasped as he pushed all the way in, his hips pressed right up against your ass.Â
âShit,â Jax grunted, pushing the flannel up around your waist so he could grab onto your bare hips. He looked down as he slowly pulled out, watching the way your tight walls stretched around him to be able to take all of him, then he pushed back in a little faster than before. âThis is what you needed, isnât it, baby? To be fucked just like this.â he muttered harshly, fucking into you a little faster as his cock became completely coated in your wetness.Â
You whined, nodding all too eagerly, âYes. Fuck⊠yes,â
Jax let out a short laugh, one hand moving from your hip and sliding down to grab onto your ass. âFeels so good, baby. Such a perfect fuckinâ pussy,â he praised, rolling his hips forward and watching the way you took him with each thrust. âFuck. I needed this too.â
You moaned loudly, your hips hitting the edge of the table every time he fucked back into you. âOh, my God,â you whined, your upper body pressing against the cool surface of the table with every thrust of his hips.Â
He leaned over you, his left hand grabbing onto the edge of the table next to yours as he started to fuck you a little harder than before. His hips hit your ass over and over again, his other hand sliding into your hair and tugging your head back a bit. âSo fuckinâ good⊠fuck,â he grunted, holding your body in place with his own as he pressed you down against the table.Â
A choked moan left your mouth, your sounds filling the kitchen as he fucked you exactly like how he wanted to before. The few objects still on the table shifted every time he bottomed out inside of you, the cookbook youâd been flipping through dangerously close to falling off completely, but neither of you cared. He was sure Gemma would give him shit for a few bent pages, but he didnât give a shit about that either.Â
âYes, oh, my God, yes. Fuck, donât stop, baby,â you cried out, tightening your grip on the table.
Jax grunted, your sounds only fueling his movements and making his cock throb deep inside of you. He let go of your hair, dragging his hand down your back until he reached your ass, and he pushed the flannel up once again since it had slipped back down. He gave you a firm squeeze before giving you a sharp smack, feeling the way you clenched around him as your skin burned.Â
âThatâs it, baby,â he muttered, grabbing onto your waist with a tight grip as he pulled you back against him now with every thrust. âCâmon, babe, squeeze that cock. Cum on my dick like I know you want to.â
You whined loudly, squeezing your eyes shut at the same time your core squeezed his cock, instantly obliging to his request. Your body started to shake, your hands trembling from where they held the table in a death grip as you came with a long, needy cry.Â
Jax groaned deeply, his eyes locked onto where you and he were connected as his cock became even wetter, even warmer from your release. âThatâs my girl,â he rasped, slowing down just slightly as he felt his cock twitch inside you. He came only seconds later, his chest heaving as he filled you with his cum until some of it started to leak out around him. âShit. So fuckinâ good.â
He leaned over you, covering your back with his chest as you went limp on the table, thoroughly fucked out. Jax kissed along your bare shoulder, one hand sliding under you until he reached your throat, and he turned your head, guiding your mouth into a deep kiss.Â
You moaned weakly against his lips, kissing him a little desperately before he pulled away, his lips as puffy and kiss swollen as yours are. He slowly pulled out of you, pressing his lips together as he watched a few beads of cum drip out along with his cock.Â
The sight had one corner of his mouth turning upwards as he helped you stand up straight. Your legs were still shaking as he turned your body around and pulled you against his chest, his arms wrapping around you tightly. âYou good?â he asked, unable to stop the teasing and smugness from seeping into his tone.Â
You nodded, burying your face in his shirt as your hands grabbed at his back, your body still trembling with the aftershocks. âThat definitely made up for this morning,â you said once you were finally able to find your voice and speak again.Â
Jax let out a deep laugh, one hand cradling the back of your head as he brushed a soft kiss along your temple. âIâll make it up to you even more tomorrow morninâ, with no interruptions,â he said, pulling his flannel back up your body so you were properly wearing it again. He pulled back with a smirk, âTold the guys no more callinâ me at nine in the morninâ unless itâs a real emergency.âÂ
You lifted a brow, watching as he pulled his boxers and jeans back up, but left them unzipped. âWhat, today wasnât a real emergency?â you asked, taking his hand when he offered it to you.Â
He pulled you with him towards the bedroom, keeping his other hand planted firmly on your ass as his front pressed against your back. âNot nearly important enough to be interrupted for,â he answered, his smirk softening when you let out a laugh.

Dedicated to @hunnamandhoney because you mentioned in a reblog of a gif set of a shirtless Jax sitting at his kitchen table and of him wearing a flannel, and you said you wanted to be bent over that table while wearing his flannel, and itâs been in my head ever since. So. Thank you and I hope you enjoy x
Apologies for being MIA. Just went through something really hard and had no motivation, and the only form of outlet I had was this, so I guess Iâm like Jax in that way loooool.
đđ the dedication alone had me grinning before I even started reading!
you absolutely nailed established Jax. the mix of domesticity and obsession is one of my favorite things. đ„đ€
âBeen thinkinâ âbout this. Thinkinâ âbout bendinâ you over and fuckinâ you so good. How wet and tight you are for me,â he grunted. âCould taste you all day, baby. Drove me fuckinâ insane.â
thank you for indulging my brain rot and turning one random comment into such a delicious fic!!! I love it and I feel so spoiled! đ„čđ
literally me after getting railed on that table đ«

âItâs been whatâŠâ he looks at his watch like the cocky fucker heâs always been. âNearly two hours since you got here and you still havenât found your way to come say helloâŠthatâs pretty mean darlinââ
âThatâs cause Iâm not here for youâ I reply with a smile dipped in venom, âIâm here for my brotherâ I take the drink Cherry slides across the bar, never breaking eye contact with Jax.
âYeah?â He chuckles, shifting until heâs even closer to me. âPretty sure you use that line every fuckinâ time you walk in hereâ
âLifeâs not all about you Jacksonâ
âYou sure about that darlinâ?â He lets out a quite laugh scratching his beard âwhat are we at now? threeâŠfour years?â
âYeah wellâŠshits changed. Iâm with someoneâ
âMmmm, rightâŠâ he nods, â...and werenât you with someone the last two times we did this?â That anticipated mischief glimmers at the tip of his tongue as he swipes it knowingly across his bottom lip. The beautiful bastard.
âNah, Iâm being foreal this time. It's serious...and I really like himâ the lie immediately tastes sour on my tongue. There isnât someone new. Never has been, Iâm just trying my hardest not to let myself get dragged back into this toxic fucking mess.
His eyes flick over mine, âis that so?â His cocky facade slips for just a second, so quick Iâm sure I fucking imagined it. But then I catch the twitch in his jaw, the one that only makes an appearance when heâs pissed at something, or trying hard not to be.
âGood for youâ he drains the rest of his beer in one quick swig, setting the bottle down on the bar with a loud clang before turning and strolling out of the clubhouse doors without another fucking word.
âLove you too loserâ I laugh, wrapping my arms around my older brother as the alcohol begins to hum through my veins. He smells like gin and a badly baked birthday cake as he leans in, placing a sloppy kiss to my cheek, smearing left over cake crumbs across my skin.
âEw. Stop, get off meâ I wriggle from him as we break into that uncomfortable burst of laughter like weâre 12 again, and not two grown adults standing in the middle of the samcro clubhouse.
My eyes wonder mid laugh to the back of the room, and I wish they fucking didnât. Jax is tucked away in one of the corner booths, one arm slung across the back of the seat, and the other stroking that skanks hair. Ima, fucking hate that slut. Her fingers trace lazy shapes over the denim covering his inner thigh, and heâs fucking letting her do it.
His drunken eyes find mine the exact moment I notice her hand edge even closer to his zipper. The asshole doesnât look away, no he holds the eye contact like he wants me to react. Donât do it. Donât. Do. It.
âNot on my birthday y/nâ Juice mutters, his hands firm on my shoulder, facing me away from the beauty and the beast, Ima, being the beast. âYou two pulled this shit last yearâ
âDunno what youâre talking aboutâ
My brother scoffs, always so dramatic. âReally?â He gestures across the room with his half finished bottle. âYou two ever gonna admit you still love each other? Shits exhaustingâ
âShut up asshole. Youâre drunk. You donât know what youâre talking aboutâ
He laughs stepping back with both hands raised. âShits old now, y/nâ he raises his voice the further he gets away âmove on with your lifeâŠor just fucking tell himâ I just about hear him over the music.
I turn back to face Jax, Iâm not backing down. Our eyes lock again instantly, probably cause he never took them off of me. Imaâs now tucked into the crook of his neck with her hand still resting too fucking comfortably on him. And Jax? He just looks at me like Iâm spoiling his fun.
âHow much do you really like him?â He mouths the fucking words. The cocky, arrogant fucking asshole, I swear to god I hate him.
The alcohol that was once humming through me, is now fucking fuming. My feet move without thought, weaving through bodies and tables. I walk straight past them at the booth, my brothers voice calling my name somewhere behind me. I donât stop though, donât even turn around, making my way into the hallway, the quietness like a breath of fresh air. The music fades behind me as I pass JTâs bike and head straight into Jaxâs dorm. I slam the door shut - harder than I meant to, but fuck it - the smell of him hits me immediately and it only makes me even more pissed. Iâm unsteady on my feet now, the drunk me here to stay. My hands sweep across the top of his drawers in one swift motion, sending everything scattered on top crashing to the floor. The sound of it all hitting the worn carpet, and breaking the lonely silence forcing a laugh out of me.
âThe fuck are you doing!â His voice hits the room before heâs even stepped fully inside.
I donât turn straight away, I stand in the same spot with my back to the door, eyes scanning over the mess Iâve made of his things, my chest still tight with rage. Then, to make matters worse, I hear her fucking voice. That high pitched whiny fucking voice.
âWhys she done that Jax?â
I finally turn to see him standing in the doorway, blocking most of it with his broad shoulders and eyes displaying pure fucking thunder. And behind him, like a lost fucking puppy, stands Ima. She opens her mouth again, fixing to say some more dumb shit but I donât even give her the chance.
I lunge forward, raising my hand in the air, his hands shoot out clamping around my waist attempting to move me out of arms way. ây/n donât-â too fucking late.
My hand meets her face nice and sharp. Jax shoves me back hard enough that I stumble straight onto the bed behind me, and at the same time heâs already turning back to Ima. She has one hand against my handprint and the other outstretched towards Jax, as if he's her saving grace. Like I knew he would, he shoves her hand away, pushing her back into the hallway and slamming the door shut in her face. And Iâm sure I hear the lock catch.
âWhyâd you always do this?â I demand, pushing myself upright on the bed.
He doesnât answer, doesnât even look at me. Instead, he crouches down silently, beginning to gather all of his things I'd thrown across the room. One by one he places them all back where they belong, acting as if Iâm not even there.
âIâm talking to youâ
Him ignoring me, feels like pouring petrol onto an open fucking fire. I know I probably look like a complete bitch right now, and maybe I am. But I swear to god there isnât another person on this planet that gets under my skin as much as Jax Teller does. He makes me fucking insane.
I reach back, grabbing the nearest pillow and launch it at him. It knocks straight into the side of his head before dropping to the floor. He freezes. Then his shoulders rise slowly as he takes in the deepest of breaths. Fuck. There goes that twitchy jaw again, I follow his movements as he bends picking the pillow up and places it back on the bed with so much fucking restraint, which pisses me off so much fucking more. Then I watch as he trails around, removing his blade, his gun, then throwing his kutte onto the lone chair in the corner of the room. I push myself off the bed, slamming each hand down beside me âI fucking ha-â
âYOU HATE ME?â he finally cracks. âYOU HATE ME SO MUCH YOU COULDNâT STAND TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE NEXT TO ME AND HAD TO COME IN HERE AND FUCK UP MY SHIT?â Heâs already got me pushed up against the back of the door, calloused hands framing my face.
âFuck youâ my lips barely move around the words.
âFuck me?â He laughs like a maniac, letting go of my face and taking a step back. âYeah thatâs what you fuckinâ want isnât it?â He punches an inch away from my face, splitting the faded poster of some random porn whore in two.
âYouâre so full of shit Jacksonâ I scoff, peeling myself away from the door, my eyes rolling at the smear of blood heâs left behind.
âYeah?â He lets out a laugh so bitter. âAnd youâre usually full of me right about now, but youâre actinâ brand new cause you got another manâŠagainâ he shakes his head like heâs disappointed in me. âDidnât stop you needinâ me before though, did it?â
âI never needed anything from youâ I spit, shoving him in his chest, the VP patch rough against my palm.
He storms straight at me with enough force that I stumble back a little but I plant my feet firm before he can knock me any further. âI almost believed you y/nâŠâ the tip of his nose now touching mine. ââŠalmostâ he sighs, gathering himself to his usual height. âBut itâs what we do right? Fuck and then run away from each otherâŠyouâre angry for a reason canât you fuckinâ see that?â
My fists are clenched, nails denting little crescents into my flesh. âAnd what reason do you think that is you prick?â
His eyes move over my entire being so fucking slow. âLover boy ainât doinâ it right?â He taunts, that cruel fucking smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth. âYou missinâ somethinâ real?â He grabs himself through the denim, daring me to deny it. I almost moan at the sight of his cock becoming hard underneath the fabric. âSo what, we gonna do this for the rest of our lives huh, sneakinâ and duckinâ...fuckinâ on the low?â
âI-â he moves in closer again, stopping the words in my throat. He runs a bloodied hand across my cheek, marking me with his DNA.
âWhy donât you take what you want from meâŠtake what you need from meâ a faint tremor of his chin betrays him. âTake what you want⊠and goâ
I give it to him, heâs fucking good. But I know him well, too fucking well. Him telling me to âgoâ is a load of bullshit, but if he wants to play that gameâŠagain, then fuck it Iâm bout to join in.
I push at him, and this time the back of his knees buckle against the bed until heâs lying flat on his back, the mattress moulds to the shape of my knees as I climb over him like Iâve done a thousand times after saying I never would again. He grabs my face hard between his thumb and finger, pulling me down forcing my lips against his. Fuck, Iâve missed him. âI knew you couldnât resistâ he mumbles between our lips as I cherish the scent of his breath.
I break away, sitting up and hovering a lil above him as I begin to fumble with his belt buckle. âAlways hated this fucking thingâ I snap with frustration.
Jax hoists his hips up in response, knocking me off balance and dragging every piece of clothing he has off, waiting for me to do the same. When I do, he rolls on top of me, the weight of him presses me deep into the mattress, both of his hands pin mine above my head as he leaves wet, open mouthed kisses against my neck, the tip of his cock solid hard against my inner thigh.
âFuckâ I breathe, using my teeth to clamp my mouth shut again, not wanting to give him the fucking satisfaction of knowing how good he always makes me feel.
âWhat was that, huh baby?â He teases, cock twitching against my hole, silently asking for permission. He knows he doesnât need it, he never fucking does.
âShut the fuck up before I change my fuckingâŠâ my words dissolve into a moan as he thrusts every inch he has to give into me, stealing the rest of my sentence. My hands fly to his biceps, holding on tightly as I take pleasure in watching his face contort with euphoria.
âFâŠfuck babyâ he moans, holding himself up on his palms, the chain around his neck dangling between us, hypnotising the fuck out of me. He lets out a shaky breath before our eyes meet again, âyou were really gonna keep all this from me?â
âThis isâŠthe lastâŠfucking time, Jacksonâ I pant, arching my hips off the bed as he hits that exact spot I fucking need him to. That dull ache, flickering in the pit of my stomach like an old lightbulb coming back to life, threatening to give out but flaring back again at the last second. And he knows all about that spot, heâs the only fucker who ever has. He moves himself to his forearms, angling himself until he lands just right again, and again, and again.
He keeps fucking into me like itâs the last fucking time. Maybe he thinks it will be, maybe it actually will be, but none of that matters, not right now, not in this moment.
He drags me up and towards him as we switch positions, the bed creaking beneath us. My body moves in perfect time with his, this dance weâve done a hundred times before. Then Iâm above him, sliding down gracefully onto his cock, like a queen to a throne.
He pulls me forward, locking one arm against my ass and his other grabbing at the back of my neck, dragging me in so close to his face he could probably inhale me if he tried. âWhen are you gonna get it through thatâŠâ his voice deepens, as he drives into me, punctuating each syllable. âThickâŠâ thrust. "Fucking..." thrust. âSkullâŠâ thrust. âOfâŠâ thrust. âYoursâŠâ thrust. ââŠthat nobody will ever fuck you like I doâ
He lets go of me, and I rush to rise above him again. The slap that lands across his sweat glistened cheek is brutal, and Iâm fucking proud if I must admit. His head snaps to the side, his perfect blonde locks spilling with the force of it, he exhales deeply through his teeth, eyebrows raising in surprise. Blood begins leaking from the corners of his mouth but he drags that talented tongue along slowly, tasting the aftermath.
âI was waitinâ for this part sweetheartâ that sickly sweet grin creeps back into his face, teeth stained all red and eyes shimmering with delight, like Iâve given him exactly what he wanted. He pulls his hand back and lands the hottest slap against my ass before throwing me off him and forcing my face into the mattress, pushing my lower back down so Iâm arched in his most favourite way, and slides in all the way home.
The moans Iâm letting out need their own exorcism, fuck knows what the other guys are thinking if they can hear me. Shit, my brother. My arms stretch out in front of me, fingers digging into the linen sheets. One thing about Jax though, he doesnât like to play fair. Not at all, he catches my arms, pinning them behind me with one hand, while he leans over me, the other smushing the back of my head deeper into the mattress. Iâm fucking helpless, I canât move and my screams are being swallowed, but itâs just how I like it. How we both like it.
His grip relaxes against the back of my head, before slowly wandering the length of my spine with his rough to the touch fingertips, tracing every dip and curve of my back as he presses his weight into me once more, reaching beneath me to manoeuvre his fingers through my folds with all the slickness heâs helped to create. âFuck y/nâ he grunts the words, âalways so fuckinâ wet for me baby, you know thatâs how I like it donât you?â
âYea-â
âDid I say you could talk yet baby girl?â He splays two fingers wide then clamps them both around my clit. âMatter of fact, I must not be fuckinâ you hard enough if you can still talkâ I wince in pleasurable pain.
âYou came here for your brotherâŠâ his hands trail lower, fingers ghosting against his own dick as he slides in and out of me. âBut did you really think youâd leave here tonight without coming for me?â
I rise from my arched position, Jax still throbbing inside me as he holds me for balance. âPleaseâŠâ I grind impatiently against him, I donât care how pathetic I sound right now. ââŠmake me cum Jackson⊠pleaseâ my breath catches in my throat as I struggle to keep still under his grasp.
I feel his wicked smile grow against the skin of my neck, as he kneads my tits, the flesh spilling out of his hands. âYou still on the pill?â he rumbles, I just about manage an incoherent yes.
âGood.â He grunts, âcause if this is the last timeâŠwhich I doubt it is, Iâm fillinâ you up so god damn much youâll be leakinâ me for weeksâ

âHe's notâthat bad,â Juice panted, forearms shaking as he struggled to hold the plank. âReally.â
Leaning your shoulder against the black brick wall of Iron Pulse, you stared down at Juice as he held the pose atop a blue yoga mat. Beads of sweat glistened along his brow under the fluorescent gym lights, and a tremble began advancing from his upper body and down to his legs. He still had two more of these one minute sets left to complete after this one, but he was already worn from the brutal arm and chest day that you'd thrown him through this morning, which was apparent in how out of breath he sounded.
One of your brows arched skeptically onto your forehead at his defense of Jax, not entirely certain how youâd both landed on the topic. Teller wasnât someone you cared to place any level of thought on for any duration of time. You preferred to pretend he didnât exist.
âOf course you're going to say that,â you flatly replied. âYou willingly chose to follow whatever brainwash slop that club fed you.â
âNotâbrainwash slop,â he disagreed, breathless. âIt's aâbrotherhood. Like family.â
âSeems more like a cult,â you countered.
Juice's head tilted just enough so that he could peer up at you from the plank he was holding on the mat, disapproval etched into the lines around his eyes. You simply shrugged a shoulder in response, not caring what he thought about your opinion of his president or his club. Your attention shifted across the gym and landed on the large digital clock mounted on the wall, monitoring the bit of time remaining as Juice held his plank. The last ten seconds of his first set ticked by slowly while he continued watching you, but you ignored the staring.
âTime,â you eventually called, glancing back down at him. âTwo minute rest before the next set.â
He collapsed onto his stomach with a heavy thump, his eyes falling shut as he laid there on the yoga mat breathing heavily. Your attention wandered around the gym as you let Juice catch his breath, taking in the few others that were already here this morning.Â
You recognized the usual morning crowd. It generally consisted of older folks who came to get in their light workout walking along the treadmills to start off their day. Things didnât usually pick up at Iron Pulse until most people finished work around four in the afternoon, and you werenât here much longer after that, never wanting to work the later hours with how busy the clubhouse across the street became at night. It made you uncomfortable.
âYou spend too much time listening to the town gossip.â
At the sound of Juiceâs somewhat recovered voice, you focused back down on him. He was still lying flat on his stomach along the blue mat with his eyes closed, sweat trickling down his temple now. Lips twisting into a frown, you realized today wouldnât just be friendly discussions and jokes as you finished his session, because apparently he was intent on addressing the leather-clad elephant in the room.
âItâs not all true,â Juice finished.
âMaybe not,â you conceded. âBut Iâve had the displeasure of encountering Teller on more than one occasion in the time Iâve been working here. Heâs a crude, infuriating asshole and you will never change my mind about him.â
Juice opened one eye, peering up at you from the mat. You shot him a look which clearly stated I-am-digging-my-heels-in-on-this. Youâd never once had a normal, friendly interaction with Jax. Heâd always been rude and excruciatingly inappropriate if he wasnât downright insulting. You doubted youâd ever cross paths with a more vile human than Jax Teller.
âHeâs only like that âcause you insulted him,â Juice told you.
Taken by surprise, your mouth fell open in disbelief at the accusation. He made it sound as if Jaxâs treatment of you was entirely your fault. You stood there leaning against the wall with your mouth agape, a stunned noise sneaking out of you as you waited for him to walk back what heâd just said. When he didnât, a nearly hysterical laugh broke through the tension before a sardonic smile ripped itself across your lips.
âAre you serious?â you shot back. âYou really think this is my fault? Because I what? Stood up for myself when he made those crass comments about my body and openly propositioned me for sex? Which need I remind youâhe shouted everything across the street at me. And that was before someone else started making some rather disgusting observations about my ass.â
Juiceâs face drew tight into a wince, the corner of his lips dipping to the side as he propped himself up on one arm. âOkay, yeah,â he replied slowly. âThat wasnât exactly his best moment. And well, I got no excuse for Tig sayinâ the shit he did. But you called Jax some pretty colorful things in return. And I mean heâsâŠâ He trailed off, tipping his head from side to side as he searched for the words. âWell, yâknow, not exactly someone you talk to like that without repercussions. Heâs the Sonsâ president.â
âWow,â you sarcastically replied, crossing your arms over your chest. âWell excuse the ever loving fuck out of me for not bowing down to Charmingâs white trash royalty because he wants to fuck me.â
âThatâs not what I meant,â Juice argued back. âI just meant that heâs got a reputation to maintain. You sayinâ that shit publicly makes him look bad. He canât just have you talkinâ shit to his face, yâknow?â
âNo,â you snapped. âI donât know. Being some biker president doesnât excuse the shit he said to me that first time, or all those months of him intentionally seeking me out just to harass me. Stop wasting your breath trying to paint him differently, Juice. Teller is a misogynistic scumbag. Heâs repulsive and I want nothing to do with him.âÂ
Juice ran a hand across his sweaty forehead as you scowled down at him, your mood now soured by this entire discussion and it wasnât even ten in the morning. It didnât matter what Juice said to you, you would never change your opinion about Teller. Heâd done too much damage for you to ever believe there was something redeemable about him.Â
âI just think you need to give him a chance. Get to actually know him before you pass judgement,â Juice diplomatically tried again. âAnd not just him. The Sons arenât that bad, either.â
Your tongue poked into your cheek as you fixed him with a pointed look, brows slightly raising onto your forehead. Heâd gotten a membership here barely two weeks ago, but heâd worked things out with you and the other gym employees so that he could enter and exit through the back door instead of using the front entrance. Juice claimed it was due to the animosity between the Sons and the Iron Pulse employees, saying that he wanted to keep it quiet that heâd started coming here, not wanting to spark more issues between his club and the gym across from it.
âIs that why you need to hide where you go to work out from them?â you questioned, tipping your head condescendingly to the side. If he was going to make you think about Jax far more than youâd wanted to at the start of your day, you werenât going to go easy on him. âBecause theyâre not that bad? Because theyâre such good, nice, upstanding guys? Guys who wouldnât care about where you choose to go in your free time?â
Juice released an exaggerated huff as he rolled his eyes. âFine, Iâll stop hiding it,â he relented. He gestured a hand across the gym, waving it at the propped open front door behind him. âIâll leave through the front like everyone else today. No more hiding where I go in the mornings. Happy?â
âCongratulations, it only took you nearly two weeks to stop hiding from your club,â you deadpanned.Â
Gaze shifting back to the clock on the wall across the gym, you noticed his two minutes of rest time were finished. Grateful to give Juice a reason to stop talking about the Sons and focus back on why he was actually here, you crossed your ankles and stubbornly set your jaw.Â
âBegin the next set,â you ordered. âAnother front plank. Hold it for a minute.â Still feeling embittered by the entire discussion heâd dragged you into, you added, âThen youâve got a final set and stretches before you can exit out of the front door to a round of applause from me.â
With a heavy sigh, Juice rolled back over onto his front along the mat before pushing himself back into a plank. âFor someone who hates him so much,â he muttered under his breath, âyou sure sound just like him.â
By the time your shift had ended at Iron Pulse, your mood hadnât improved much. Juiceâs comments had plagued you throughout the day, which unfortunately kept Teller lingering in the back of your mind like a terrible headache you couldnât shake. It didnât help that youâd had to deal with multiple gym members refusing to put their weights away and wipe down their machines after theyâd used them, so your mood had only worsened when youâd finally gotten to your own workout.
Youâd felt it during your entire routineâyou were off today. It was a struggle to get through your usual chest workouts, fighting just to push yourself to complete each exercise. It was as if the plates had somehow become exponentially heavier on purpose solely to make you even more bitter. Because you hated feeling weak. That usually only happened during your period weeks, and that was irritating enough, you didnât need to be thrown off your game when you werenât even menstruating.Â
But your bad day was finally over. Now you'd get to go home, and you were looking forward to briefly washing up in the shower, cleaning away the stench of sweat and gym which clung to you like a second skin. The warm water would ease your tense, sore muscles as you relaxed beneath the shower spray, letting all the negative things from today flow down the drain. Afterwards, you planned to make pasta for dinner, which you were excited to devour with how ravenous your workout had left you.
So the absolute last thing you'd wanted was to see the odd, uneven tip of the back end of your Toyota as you approached it. The repetitive buzz and whir of tools over at the Sonsâ garage drifted across the street, carried towards you on the late afternoon breeze as you came to a stop by the trunk of your car. You took one look at the awkward slant of your Toyota before the black gym bag hanging on your shoulder slid down your arm and collapsed onto the sidewalk beside your feet with a solid thunk.Â
The back right tire of your car was entirely flat, and it now sat dangerously close to the rim. The rubber of the tire looked as if it had melted into the asphalt in the heat of the day, and your shoulders sagged miserably at the realization that youâd most likely need a new one.Â
âFuck,â you cursed under your breath. âFuck, fuck, fuck.â
Eyes snapping shut, you fought down the sting of frustrated tears that abruptly sprung forward. Pressing the palms of both your hands against your closed eyelids, you sucked in a deep breath and held it, trying to calm yourself down so you could think. You knew that there was a spare tire in the trunk of your car, and you theoretically knew how to swap them out. You could change it yourself, though you questioned your ability to accomplish the task before one of the guys over at Teller-Morrow Automotive noticed you and probably came to bother you.Â
They were also the only mechanic shop in Charming. The next closest was probably thirty miles away from the small town. Could you manage to drive that far on a spare tire? Youâd never driven on one before, yet it seemed do-able. But it was getting late and you doubted a garage would be open too much longer tonight, which meant that your car wouldnât get fixed until tomorrow, leaving you stuck trying to find a way back to Charming without your Toyota. Paying for a ride would only add to the cost of just getting the flat fixed, and that was already going to be priceyâyou didnât make a fortune as a trainer.
How had this even happened? Youâd driven here without issue earlier this morning, and your car had been parked on the street all day. You hadnât driven it since youâd arrived at work. Had there been a slow leak thatâd been steadily deflating while youâd been at the gym?
âWhy today?â you groaned, hands scrubbing down your face. âWhy this?â
âI see youâve already found the flat, Peaches.â
That irritatingly familiar voice had you tense instantly, your face still buried in your hands. The unmistakable lilt of arrogance and amusement grated on your nerves, darkening an already bleak day. Your tongue pressed against the back of your teeth as your back straightened, anger already igniting in your chest. You were not in the mood to have an argument with him.Â
Your hands slowly slid down your face and fell to your sides as you looked over, your eyes easily finding him. Teller swaggered across the street towards you, the corner of his lips quirked into a wide grin. His eyes ran over you twice, gaze lingering along your ass and your chest before they drifted over to the flat tire you were currently lamenting.Â
âLooks pretty done to me,â he commented. He pointed a grease-stained finger at the tire as he added, âYouâre gonna need a new one.â
âYeah, no shit,â you ground out.
He glanced back at you, eyes alight as he openly reveled in your misfortune. âRelax, darlinâ. I came over here to help.â He paused, the corners of his lips curling back further. âBut only if you ask me real nice.â
The audacity of this asshole. Iâd rather prop my car up with his stupid face and change the tire myself.
âYouâre the last person Iâd ever ask for help,â you retorted.
Jax casually shrugged his shoulders as he neared, the grin lingering on his lips. âSuit yourself, Peaches,â he said. âBut you still gotta flat to deal with.â
Your eyes narrowed suspiciously back at him, your mind beginning to slowly mull over the entirety of the situation. While it was possible that you had run over something and punctured the tire which had led to a slow leak, it also seemed just as likely that Teller mightâve popped your tire on purpose simply to mess with you. The last time youâd encountered him nearly a week ago, youâd certainly pissed him off. Maybe this was his way of getting back at you, especially since heâd left you with that threat of needing to watch yourself. He seemed far too pleased with your misfortune right now, and he did stand to benefit from you paying his garage for the work. Then there was the obvious satisfaction heâd gain from you having to need his help with something.
âDid you do this?â you demanded, pointing a finger at your tire. âIs this your idea of a joke? Or some kind of payback for hurting your fragile ego?â
Jaxâs grin vanished at the accusation, his own eyes narrowing to slits. The mischievous glint in them extinguished, suddenly replaced with the usual simmering disdain and irritation he harbored for you. You studied him closely, searching for any signs of an admission of guilt.Â
âYou serious, Peaches?â he questioned, voice lowering as he took another step closer. âYou think I got nothinâ better to do than sit around and slash your fuckinâ tire or somethinâ?â
âI definitely wouldnât put it past you,â you bitterly replied. âYou stand to benefit financially, and you get to annoy me about it. Sure sounds like something youâd do.â
âYouâre fuckinâ bat shit,â he shot back. âI got better things on my mind to think âbout that ainât you, darlinâ. Donât flatter yourself.â
Your nose scrunched. âEw. I wouldnât call your attention something to be flattered by, Teller,â you retorted. âIâd rather never share air in your vicinity.â
With a heavy roll of his eyes, Jax took two steps backwards throwing his hands up into the air as if he was done with you already. âWhatever,â he said. âYou still gotta problem to deal with, and if you wanna be a fuckinâ priss about it, go ahead. Next closest garage is near Stockton, and theyâre closinâ in forty. Have fun figurinâ your shit out, darlinâ.â
He swung around and started to cross the street, the reaper on the back of his kutte taunting you with its ghoulish smile. Teeth sinking into your bottom lip, you gnawed it in frustration as your attention returned to the flat tire. As much as you hated to admit it, Teller unfortunately had a point, you did need to deal with this. Taking it into Teller-Morrow wouldâve been the easiest and fastest solutionâthe garage was right there across the street. Itâd save you from having to slip on a spare tire or call for a tow to another shop before attempting to try to find a ride back out to Charming.
But the idea of having to ask Teller for help and dealing with the Sons sounded like sheer torture. He could charge you whatever he wanted for the service just to be an asshole, and youâd be helplessly at his mercy. The thought of that alone made you want to run headlong into oncoming traffic. But despite that, forcing yourself to set aside your pride and interact with him for a brief period of time solely for the sake of fixing your car might be worth it in the long run. Even if you heavily suspected the flat was his doing all along. You doubtedâor at least desperately hopedâthat whatever he put you through and whatever he charged you in the end would still be less than the hassle and expense of the alternative.
Sucking in a deep breath, you fought down the nauseating twist of your stomach. Jax hadnât stopped in his retreat towards the garage, making it quite clear that he wasnât going to wait for you to change your mind. Closing your eyes, you slowly exhaled the breath youâd taken, hating what you were about to do with every fiber of your being.
âWait,â you called out.
Jax paused mid-stride at the sound of your voice, stopping just before he stepped up onto the curb across the street. The slow, smooth way he casually turned back around towards you, with his head slanting to the side and that irritatingly smug smirk stretching over his lips, made you want to double over and vomit right on the street. But you forced yourself to push on, trying to ignore the heat creeping up your neck.
âCan your garage fix my flat?â you reluctantly questioned. The words were acid as they passed over your tongue, burning on their way out. âIâd rather not drag it all the way out of town this late.â
ââCourse we know how to fix a flat, Peaches,â he called back. He began taking a few measured steps back towards you with a glint in his eye that you didnât like. âButâŠâ
For the love of God, do not ask me to say please. I may just murder you.
âBut,â he continued, the smirk sliding further across his face as he sauntered towards you, âI donât tolerate hostility in my place of business. So Iâm gonna have to ask that youâre friendly to my staff, darlinâ.â
Your hands curled into fists at your sides, your nails digging sharply into your palms. He continued closing the gap between you both, obviously pleased with having the upper hand around you for once, which only heightened your suspicions about the tire. He knew exactly how to get under your skin and you absolutely hated that. And you knew heâd expect you to be friendly while dealing with the guys at the garage or heâd find some other way to fuck with you.Â
âYou good with that, Peaches?â he pressed.
âYes,â you tersely grit out between your teeth.
âGood girl,â Jax drawled. Stopping in front of you, he held out his hand, palm expectantly upturned. âGonna need your keys then, darlinâ. And youâll get your car back whenever weâre done with it.â
With your lips pressed firmly together in frustration, you slipped your hand into the side pocket of your biker shorts, pulling out your car keys. It felt as if you were handing part of your soul over to the devil when you reluctantly dropped them into Jaxâs awaiting palm. His fingers curled around your keys, and the thought of him touching and driving your Toyota made your skin crawl.
âBetter get it back in one piece,â you warned him.
âHey, I run a respectable business, Peaches. Don't insult me,â he reprimanded, though his smirk continued to taunt you. âYou gonna want a ride home? âCause I can have a prospect drop you off.â
âHard pass,â you immediately declined. âI'd rather walk.â
Shortly after you'd arrived home, you'd headed directly for your shower. Covered in a light layer of sweat from the mile walk back in the summer sun, you'd welcomed the warm water once it fell over you, but it ultimately hadn't done much to relax you after the day you'd had.Â
You'd spent half the night afterwards wondering if you'd made a huge mistake leaving your car at the Sonsâ garage. Would they fuck things up further? Oversell you on a tire and their labor? Take their sweet ass fucking time and finish your car days later, claiming they were backed up and busy? Cut your brake lines for shits and giggles?Â
Your mind had raced with hundreds of scenarios while you'd made dinner and ate it. By the time you'd finally sat down on the couch before bed, you felt as if you'd just done one of Dominicâs crossfit workouts. Your brain was like a bowl of oatmealâthick and sluggish.Â
Laying stretched out along your couch, your eyes were half-lidded as you watched one of your guilty pleasure shows before bed. You'd been gradually starting to drift off to the soft hum of your television, succumbing to sleep with how worn out you were, until a rumble of engines and a flash of headlights cut through the room and caused your eyes to snap fully open.Â
The headlights shining through your living room windows cut off at the exact same time one of the engines outside silenced. A cold trickle of fear inched its way up your spine as you went entirely still on the couch, your heart beginning to pound in your chest. A car door slammed shut in your driveway and your head darted up from the couch pillow, your entire body suddenly alert as you looked out the living room window.
It was hard to see much through the darkness outside, but you spotted a figure pass up the path that led to your door. Along the street sat a dark gray van, the lights shining down the road as it idled and completely blocked your driveway. Two sharp raps came at your front door next and fear seeped into your bones, your body sinking into the cushions.
Who the fuck was at your door? It was just after nine at night on a Thursday. You had no one planning to stop by, and certainly no one who would be showing up in multiple vehicles. Your mind raced as your breath came in shallow bursts, eyes still lingering on the familiar looking gray van parked outside. Where had you seen it before?Â
You startled on the couch when the person behind the door called your name through it, a soft shriek of surprise slipping out of you. Clutching the pillow beside you on the couch, you gripped it as if it would somehow protect you from whoever was outside.
âYou home?â the voice called again. âLook, I know it's kinda late, but Jax asked us to drop off your car. Said you'd probably need it for tomorrow.â
Sitting rigid on your couch with your nails still digging into the soft fabric of the pillow, you gradually began to process what he'd said. The adrenaline coursing through your veins steadily began to fade as everything started to piece itself together. It was just the Sons dropping off your fixed car. But why so late at night? The garage had closed down hours ago.
Rising up from the couch in confusion, you carefully crossed the living room and headed to the front door. You turned on the outdoor lights before leaning forward and looking out through the peephole, not wanting to blindly open your front door without double-checking who was standing there first. A dark haired man stood on the small porch, and he was wearing a leather kutte which resembled the ones the other Sons wore, except his boasted a single patch which just read âprospect.âÂ
Trying to calm the nerves that their arrival had sent coursing through you, you began unlocking the front door. When you finally opened it, you came face to face with the man you swore you remembered youâd overheard them calling Rat before. He offered you a friendly smile which immediately set you on edge before he raised a hand in the air, jingling your car keys in the space between you both.Â
âYour car is finished,â he told you. âJax wanted us to drop it off. It's parked in the driveway.â
He gestured his other hand towards the car that had shined its lights through your window, and your gaze followed after it. Your silver Toyota sat innocently there as the van continued idling behind it. You now understood that it was Rat's ride back to the clubhouse.
Turning your attention back towards him, your brows furrowed as you glanced down at the keys in his hand. âI don't understand,â you said, looking back up to meet his stare. âWhyâre you dropping it off? Donât you guys want me to come in and pay for the repair first?â
Rat's expression grew sheepish, his hand still holding your keys out to you. âWell, uh,â he began, tone turning a little awkward. âJax said that there was no charge.â
Suspicion washed over you in an instant, your eyes narrowing back at him. No charge for the new tire and the work his guys did to put it on? Something was definitely going on, and now you were regretting taking your car there. Was he expecting you to owe him a favor for this? The idea made you internally cringe.
âWhy?â you pressed.
âHe said to tell you that there'sââ he paused, his sheepish smile growing a little wider and more uncomfortable, ââthere's nothing that he could ever want from an uptight, self-righteous bitch. Including her money.âÂ
Your mouth fell open in shock, your eyes widening slightly. So Jax was throwing your insult back at you, the one from the other day? The one that pissed him off for some unknown reason? All because you'd said there was nothing you'd ever want from him? This was certainly proof that it'd somehow struck a nerve, especially if he was still thinking about it enough to have a prospect deliver that message along with your car.Â
Is his ego truly that fragile?
Reaching out, you finally grabbed your keys from his outstretched hand. Rat looked relieved when he took a step back, as if he was glad that he'd completed the task he'd been given without having to enter a verbal sparring match with you.Â
âIf he's expecting a thank you, he's not getting one,â you stated.Â
âDon't think he'd want one anyway,â Rat replied.
His hand rose and fell quickly in a half-hearted wave before he turned and cut through your grass, heading straight towards the gray van parked in the street at the bottom of your driveway. You watched him for a few seconds, fingers toying with your keyring, before your gaze shifted to your Toyota. Your eyes dipped down to the back tire, and as a cool breeze brushed past your cheek, the suspicion that Jax had been the one to pop it still lingered at the forefront of your mind.

We didnât say much between leaving the hospital and getting home. Part of me wanted to beat Rayes ass for being out of town. Id rather she spent the night with me than having to spend it with Jax. Not because I didnât trust him, but because I didnât trust myself. I'm not gonna sit here and lie and act as if I hadnât thought of that night, that kiss, every single fucking day since it happened, because I had.
Part of me felt bad. I feel like I antagonised him into doing it. Maybe if I didnt piss him off so much he wouldnât have done it. Either way, its happened now and i cant get it out of my fucking head. Especially now, sitting at Gemmas large dining table, watching him move domestically around the house. Closing the curtains, turning on the TV. I havent allowed myself to look at him in this much detail for a long fucking time.
Our life, since that night has consisted of avoiding each other, no matter how hard it could sometimes be. But now, as I sit here, watching him closely I can physically see the weight of the patch draining the life from him. His knuckles all raw and calloused and his kutte looking exactly the same.
After finishing warming up the house, Jax pulls out the dining chair opposite me slowly, shrugs off his kutte and takes a seat. A small sound of breath leaves his nose as he does so. His eyes are on mine and at this precise moment in time, I wish I could read his thoughts. I wanna ask him about Tara, I wanna know what the fucks going on with those two. I saw them as I was coming out from saying bye to Dad, talking in the corner. She looked all professional, different to the teen girl who would keep me awake at night from my brothers bedroom. I don't know what the fuck they are, I just wish they wasnât.
He leans back in his chair, his smirk already tugging at his mouth. âFirst time back on a bike since you ate shit off the one me and Ghost rebuilt?â
I let out a laugh, rolling my eyes. âI told you Iâd never get back on one again.â
âYeah,â he drawls, shaking his head. âGuess I canât blame you. I thought you actually died that day.â
âYou were the one closer to death than me. Did you see Dadâs face when he ran down to us?â
Jax laughs, that rough throaty sound. âYeah I remember, pretty sure he was already plannin' my funeral...don't blame him though, you were bleedinâ out on the ground and I was just stood there all frozenâ
I shake my head, still smiling. âI still got the scar you knowâ
That makes his grin slip into something smaller, his eyes dropping towards the floor âYeah I knowâ
Because he does know. He's always known, Heâs seen that scar more times than he could count. Catching glimpses when I wore shorts in the summer, when I curled up on the couch, the night that we kissed, when everything shifted between us. Even after that, in all the stolen moments that followed, his eyes always found it. He always fucking saw it.
The silence between us stretches, a little heavy, borderline uncomfortable. Until he clears his throat, sitting forward, resting his elbows on the table, his tone shifts almost immediately. âGhost told me about LoganâŠâ his voice is more serious now ââŠthat's what the screamin' was about when I showed up, right?â
I suck my tongue across my teeth, of course Dad told him. He's his VP, he has to know. But it doesn't make it easier sitting here with just the two of us âYeahâ I mutter, shifting in my chair.
âYou good?â The question catches me off guard, Id braced myself for some form of lecture, but instead its like he's trying to help take the weight off my shoulders.
âI guessâŠâ I say, âmore worried about Dad, you know?â
Jax nods once, âHe'll be good. He's tougher than any of us. Don't stress over itâŠâ his tone darkens ââŠLogans the one I don't give a fuck about. Whatever happens to him? Couldn't care less. You're my priority. You're the one I'm lookinâ out for...weâre lookinâ out forâ
âWhat's gonna happen?â I ask finally, part of me already knowing whatever answer I get isn't gonna be pretty.
âI'm sittin' down with Laroy tomorrowâŠâ his tone returns to normal, but still stern ââŠI'll let him know who you are. We don't know for sure if his guys are actually gunninâ for you, but I'm bettinâ they've been tailinâ Logan, seen you both together and if they can't get to him, they'll try any route that they canâ
I nod in response as he keeps going.
âBut once Laroy knows you're ours, know's you ain't got shit to do with Logan's mess, he'll leave you out of itâ his next words come out harder. âWhatever they do to Logan after that...ain't my problem.â
There's something in his tone, something maybe a little possessive, something that doesn't entirely feel just like club business, but I ignore it, just nod again. The thought of Logan getting his ass beat, or worse, doesn't bother me. Not even a little. And that's all the confirmation I need to know that itâs over. Not tonight, but soon. Tonight, I'm staying here, alone with my brother for the first time in years.
âYou got somethin' to change into?â Jax's voice breezes through the crack in my door. There's a quiet knock before he pushes it open and steps inside without waiting for me to answer.
His eyes move over everything, and I know he's remembering too. All the late nights we spent talking here, all the times he crashed on my floor or snuck into my bed when he couldn't sleep.
Back then, it was innocent. Just a couple of kids who didn't like the dark. It all stopped after that morning Dad caught us curled up together. He didn't yell, didn't blow up. Just smacked Jax awake, grunted for him to get back to his own room. No lectures, no drama. But I still remember the look in Dadâs eyes. The way his brows crossed like maybe he was worried about what we were growing into. And I guess he wasn't wrong. But he must of forgot about it soon after cause nothing was said again.
I hold up one of my old tees that I had left behind. Soft and worn, the collage of Tupac cracked and faded but just enough to still be recognised.
âFuckâ Jax's voice comes from the doorway, stepping further into the room and dropping onto the edge of my old bed like he's done a thousand times. âNever thought Iâd see that fuckinâ thing againâ
I glance over my shoulder, holding it up at the hem. âJax. Rule still stands, no Tupac hateâ.
He smirks leaning back onto his palms like he's settling in. âNever Pac hate. Just that fuckinâ shirt. You used to wear it like three days in a rowâ
âYeah...and?â I snap back, heading for the bathroom. I hear his voice through the door as I peel off my top.
âAnd I could smell you from round a fuckin' cornerâ He taunts.
I laugh under my breath, shaking my head as I slip the tee over my body and it falls against my skin like an old memory.
When I step back into the room, Jax is now sprawled out on my bed. legs spread, white tee clinging to his shoulders with those same fucking grey pants loose on his hip. He looks so...at ease. Like no time has passed at all.
âShut the hell upâ I say, grinning as I ball up the shirt I just took off and throw it at him. He catches it one handed, smirk deepening, and tosses it towards the corner like itâs nothing.
I sit down next to him, just close enough to feel the warmth radiating off him. For a second, neither of us speaks, just listening to the old house creak around us.
âI saw you and Tara talking earlier, as I was leaving Dad's room. Everything Okay?â I ask, picking at a loose thread on my shorts.
He groans, dragging a hand down his face. âJust lettinâ me know when she's droppin' the keys off. She's movin' back to Chicagoâ
A scoff of a laugh escapes me. âAgain?â
âFor good this timeâ He somewhat mumbles.
âGemma and Dad know?â I ask, still holding onto the edge of the conversation.
He lets out a short laugh. âGhost does, but Mom?âhe shakes his head âI'd rather tell her once Tara's actually gone. No use givin' her a reason to start swingin' before it's even doneâ
I laugh quietly, because he's right. Gems temper is something different. âThought so.â
âYeah... she's been ready for that fight for years.â he sighs.
âSo what sheâs just gonna move all her shit out of your place and fuck off back to chi-town?â
There's a beat of silence, the kind that's comfortable but feels like its balancing on the edge of something heavier. He suddenly shifts, leaning back further until he's laying flat on his back, hands laced behind his head with one of his elbows pressing lighting into my thigh where I'm sitting.
I nod slowly, letting out a quiet breathe âI'm sorryâshocking myself at how much I actually mean it.
âDon't say sorryâ he smiles faintly, a flash of that boyish smile I haven't seen in years. âYou hated herâ
âHateâ I correct with a dainty smirk. âI hate how she made you feelâ the confession slips out before I can stop it. âI mean...â I stumble the words a little. âI only know what I heard through Gem and Dad but...me and you, we werenât really...â I try to think of the right word to use.
âAround each otherâ he finishes for me.
âYeah.â
Then he stands, his hand wrapping gently around my wrist, giving it a squeeze before letting go. âWell, you don't gotta worry little sis, I'm all goodâThe words hit like they shouldn't do, especially those two words, sending that weird shiver low in my stomach. Heat crawls up the back of my neck before I can stop it, and I swear my thighs press together on their own accord. Fuck, what the hell is wrong with me? He doesn't notice, or if he does he doesn't show it. His expression is unreadable, like always, before he steps towards the door.
âGonna make somethin' to eatâ he throws over his shoulder âwant anythin'?â
I shake my head a little too quickly, forcing a small smile âNah. Just gonna try and get some sleepâ
âAlrightâŠâ he nods once, ââŠIf that asshole calls or texts you, donât answer itâ then he leaves, pulling the door shut behind him.
I can't lie. The way she reacted to what I said had my cock twitchinâ in my sweats.
she thinks she hides it. Most people wouldn't notice. But I know her too well. I don't need to see the blush to know it's there. I can read it in the way her lashes flutter, the way her tongue rolls into the corner of her mouth like she's tryinâ to keep it together. And yeah, maybe it shouldn't get to me like that, but it did.
Callinâ her little sis shouldâve been enough to build a wall back up between us, Instead, it just twisted somethinâ low in my gut. Had me thinkinâ about a few things, maybe she's just as fucked up as me. I shove the thought down and head back downstairs, the house quiet except for the low creak of the floorboards under my feet. I slap together a sandwich, eatinâ it at the counter not even botherinâ to take a seat. I flip the TV on, some bullshit reality show playinâ. I'm starinâ at it but I'm not really watchinâ it, its just noise fillinâ in the silence.
When Iâm done I kill the lights, and head back to my room. I pass Mom and Ghost's without enterinâ. No birds to cover anymore, Mom's little ritual long dead with them. Halfway down the hall, I see a glow under her door. For a second, I think she's still awake, but then I hear it. That soft snore she's always had. It makes me pause, restinâ my head weakly on the cool wood of her door. When we were kids, I used to sneak into her room almost every night. Couldn't sleep alone, hated the fuckinâ dark. She never asked questions, just moved over to let me climb in. It was the only way I could sleep some nights.
It all ended the morninâ Ghost caught us. He didn't say anythinâ to her, didnât even raise his voice in front of her. Just sent me back to my room and followed me down the hall. Shut the door behind him and stood there anger fillinâ his face. Told me a fifteen year old boy had no right climbinâ into bed with his fourteen year old sister. Said I better never let him catch me in there again. Later that night, mom cornered me in the kitchen. Of course he told her. She said I needed to start actinâ my age, that people would get the wrong Idea. And that was it, I never slept in her bed again, even when I really wanted to.
I drag myself away from the door, cause standinâ there listeninâ to her breathe feels too much like back then. I head for the bathroom and crank the shower cold, lettinâ it rain down on me until the memories stop playinâ in my head. Tomorrows gonna be a long fuckinâ day. Need to sit down with Laroy, clear her name. Logans got what's cominâ to him, one way or another. But y/n? she stays out of this. No matter what it cost me.
âLong way from Charming to Oaklandâ Laroy says, grinninâ as I step towards him. His voice lazy but with that smooth edge to it. âWhat brings the Prince of Samcro down here to meet me face to face?â
I donât sit, just stand in front of him. âLoganâ
That gets a reaction, his grin fades just a little. âWhat about him?â
âThat brick that went missinâ?â I let out a sharp laugh but thereâs hardly any humour in it. âWoulda been better puttinâ Stevie fuckinâ Wonder in charge of it. At least then nobody woulda been surprised when it went awolâ
He chuckles at that, but his eyes zone in on me, probably tryinâ to work out how the fuck I know about it.
âI know you and your boys are casinâ himâ I say, pullinâ my jeans higher before finally takinâ a seat next to him. âDo what you gotta do to settle that debt. But you and your boys gotta leave my sister out of it. Sheâs not part of his shitâ
That wipes the grin completely off his face. He sits up, the business armour now in place. âSister?â
âYeahâ I say through clenched teeth. âGhostâs kidâ
âShit manâ Laroy rubs at his chin, âNever knew that fool was wrapped up with youâ
âNot wrapped upâ I correct him, âFar fuckin' from it. We ain't got no ties to him. Don't give a fuck how you handle that shit I'm just here to make sure my sister stays safeâ
Laroy's face tightens for a second, like heâs weighinâ on tellinâ me somethinâ. He bites his bottom lip, eyes flickinâ to the goons posted around us. âI won't lie to you man...she was on our radar. The next step. But now I know she's Ghost's kid...your sister, that shit's done. We'll pull back no problemâ
I try to keep my anger steady at his admission, Laroy isn't the one who deserves it. Its all on Logan.
âYou gotta watch that fool thoughâ Laroy says, leaninâ forward. âMotherfucker had no problem throwinâ your sister under the bus to keep us off himâ
My head snaps up. âWhat do you mean?â
He raises a finger, not to shut me up but to call one of his boys over. âThat plan tonight? off the table. Girl donât get touched. Not by anybody, ya hear me?â he says loud enough that it grabs the attention of the others standinâ around.
The guy nods, mutterinâ a âgot youâ before backinâ away. Laroy turns back to me, ready to finish the conversation.
âCoupla days ago, after we found out that fool lost my property, Logan came to me. Said he didn't have the money but he had...somethinâ else"
My stomach twists as I swallow hard âWhat?â
He licks his bottom lip like he's workinâ out how to say it. âVideos, manâ he looks at me from the corner of his eye.
My brows arch together, not clockinâ what hes goinâ on about, until he carries on.
âHim and his girl. Sent us a whole fuckinâ stash. One of my boys runs a site, makes good money. Logan wanted us to post em, get the money back off the viewsâ
I watch him talk, the anger building slow and ugly, but he keeps goinâ.
âHad a look at a few-â
The snarl slips before he finishes. He throws his hands up quick âAye man, we never knew it was your sisterâ he pulls a joint, lights it then offers it to me, guess he can tell I need somethinâ. âAnyway, we looked. But most of em? unusable.â
My jaw grinds, not sure I even want the answer. âWhy?â
He shrugs like it disgusts him. âI'm a lot of things man, but non consensual shit? not my thingâ
âWhat the fuck do you mean by non consensual? Are you sayin' he's ra-â
âNo, no, not like that brotherâ Laroy says, palms slidinâ down his jeans. âTrust me, she's more than willinââ his eyes cut to me.
âLaroy.â My tone a warninâ.
He exhales, âNah, what I mean is, some of the videos she knows, likeâŠplayinâ up to the camera of sortsâŠbut most of emâ? She don't even know she's beinâ recorded. Hidden camera type shit. Real fuckinâ sneakyâ
I bow my head, shovinâ my hands through my hair like it can make this any better. âAre you sure its her?â
âTattoo on her lower back. Big ass scar on one of her thighs?â
The image of the scar that I put there hits me like a punch. âShit!â I stand, kicking at the trash can beside the bench.
âYou still got them?â I finally manage to get out.
âI'll get them deleted. No traces from our end. You have my word JaxâŠâ I do trust him ââŠbut heâll still have copies soâŠâ
âI'm gonna kill himâ I say low, more to myself than anyone else.
But he hears it. He chuckles dry as a bone âplease do. Saves me the fuckin' troubleâ
âAppreciate it, brotherâ I tell Laroy as he stands. âI might need you in on a few things laterâ I say, thinkinâ how the hell Iâm gonna get this fuckinâ asshole. We shake hands, pullinâ each other in and finishinâ it of with a clap on the back like always.
âHeard about GhostâŠhowâs he doin'?â Laroy asks.
âStill laid up. Should be home in a few days, but ridin's off the table for a whileâ
He nods, âToughest bastard in Charming. He'll pull throughâ
âYeahâ I say quietly. âHe willâ
Myself, Tig and Opie roll in side by side to the clubhouse after the ride back from Oakland, the gravel crunchinâ under the tires. Tig kills his engine first.
âMan, I need a fuckin' drinkâ he mumbles before headinâ towards the clubhouse doors, and straight to the bar.
Opie swings a leg off his bike and gives me that scowled look he saves for when he knows I'm full of shit. âSomethin' you're not sayinâ?â he asks. He knows me too fucking well.
I drag a breath and shake my head, not even sure where to start. âLogan, man...tried to give the Niners videos of him and...â my jaw grinds before I force it out ââŠhim and y/n instead of the money for the brick that got jacked.â I cut my eyes up at Ope.
âVideos like...?â Opie's brows pinch together cause y/n's his little sister as much as she is mine.
âYeah. Exactly what you're fuckin' thinkinââ
âJesus Christâ He rips his beanie from the top of his head and fists it âShe know?â
I bite down on my lower lip. âSome of them she clearly knows whats goin on...playinâ to the camera I guess or whatever. But some? the angles and shit...she doesn't even knowâ
âWait...you watched them?â
âFuck no!â I snap, âNoâ
âThen it could be anyone. Might not even be y/nâhe says, tryinâ to make me feel better.
âNah, itâs her. Laroy mentioned the scar on her leg, and the tattoo she has that the rest of the world probably wont ever seeâ
Opie squints at my words âThen how d'ya know she has it?â
âHas what?â
âThe tattoo that isn't visible to others...â his face scrunches as he digs into the past.
âNo dipshitâ I mutter, âSaw it the other night on accident when I went to pick her up, she wasn't exactly expectin' me. She had these little black-âI cough away the distraction âLook that aint the point. How the fuck am I gonna tell Ghost? How am I gonna tell her? Better fuckin' yet...you gonna help me bury the fuckers body or what?â
âYou know Iâve got your back Jaxâ Opie says, âBut this? You gotta be the one to tell her. Then you tell Ghost. Can't act without his say so. You know thatâ
âYeah I knowâ I rake a hand through my hair and start walking towards the clubhouse.
I'm sitting cross legged on my bed, flicking through old pictures in one of the albums that's been sitting on the top shelf of my closet for fucking ever. They're a little dusty and faded but still clear enough to pull me straight back into the moment, like the last christmas me, mom and Dad had together, and the first one me and Dad had with Gemma and Jax after everything had changed.
The front door slams downstairs, the sound rattling through the old house. I pause letting out a quiet breath. Jax must be back from the sit down with Laroy, thank fuck. I keep looking through the pages, there's a picture of Jax and Dad standing beside the bike they spent forever restoring, grinning like idiots with grease smeared across both their faces. Despite everything the next one makes me laugh. Me and Jax in those awful matching Christmas jumpers Grandpa Nate picked out for us one year, Gemma forced us to take the picture as proof we actually wore them for all of two minutes.
I'm so caught up in the memories I almost miss the shadow shifting in the doorway. When I finally glance up, Jax is standing there, one shoulder resting against the frame, eyes watching me. He doesn't say anything at first.
"Remember this?" I ask, holding up the photo of us.
He huffs out a quite laugh, pushing himself off the doorframe and walking into the room. The mattress dips when he sits down on the edge of my bed.
âMaybe we should go see him soonâ I add quickly, filling the silence while I flip to another page. âGem said heâs getting worse and we havenât seen him together in agesâŠâ My fingers move over the plastic sleeves âI mean like⊠like...once Dad and Gemma are back obviouslyâ I say, making sure he knows I don't mean just the two of us.
âI, uh...â Jax starts, ignoring everything I just said. He looks down at his hands for a second before speaking again. âLaroy knows who you are now...âhe says quitley. âSo you don't need to walk around thinkinâ you still go a target on your back or anythin'â
I let out a small laugh, trying to keep the mood light. "Never thought that anyway, and plus Iâm not scared of your friends Jax" But when I look up at him properly, the laughter dies in my throat. His jaw is tighter than ever, the muscles twitching slightly, and theres a look on his face I havent seen in years, but recognise immediatley.
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â I ask slowly, closing the album and pushing it aside. âItâs the same look you used to give me when you knew Dad was about to cuss me out for doing something wrongâ
Jax shifts in his space, turning his whole body to face me now. âDid you know Logan tried to pay for that brick?â He asks.
âNo...he didn't...that's why all of this is-âmy voice falters as I see the pain radiate over my brothers features. My stomach drops so fucking hard. âWhat did he do?â The words come out barely above a whisper, already knowing I'm not gonna like the answer.
Jax drags a hand down his face like he's trying to pull himself together before he speaks. âHe tried payin' for the brick y/nâ he actually mumbles, I'm struggling to even hear him correct. âJust...not with anythin' Laroy was willin' to touch. Some shit that-â
He clenches his jaw so fucking hard he stops talking. Then pushes off the bed so fucking hard. His hands go straight to his hair, dragging back through the slickened strands as he paces like there's too ,much anger brewing inside of him.
âJax?â I get up and follow him without even thinking. âWhat did he...â He turns on me so fast my breath catches in my throat. His lips are pressed tight like he's trying to will the words to come out but they just wont.
âTell me...â I say, stepping closer. â...pleaseâ.
His eyes lock onto mine and for a second I see the protective anger shimmering under his mask. âYouâthe words leave his mouth reluctantly. âHe tried to give him videos of you.â
The entire room goes silent. It doesn't make fucking sense. Until it does. All the nights we shared, the shit we'd do...the shit we filmed. Plus all of these other videos Jax is talking about, some where Iâm not even aware Iâm being recorded. âOh...â is all I can manage to say, my voice as broken as my trust.
âFuck!â Jax explodes, the curse ripping out of him as his fist slams into the back of my bedroom door. The crack is so loud it echoes through the house. I flinch, staring at the fresh dent he's left behind. Right next to the old one, slightly higher but just the same impact.

The bedroom looked like a damn wreck. Clothes were everywhereâjeans puddled by the bed, two tops thrown over the chair in the corner, a dress hanging half off the end of the mattress, and one bra lying on the floor where youâd apparently flung it after deciding it made your back look worse than the last one.
By the time Jax came down the hall to check on you, you were standing in front of the mirror in just your panties, turned halfway to the side, staring at yourself with a look he hated.
He didnât say anything at first, just leaned in the doorway and watched you suck in hard, hold it, then let it go with an angry breath. You pinched at your side, tugged your panties higher over your hips, then smoothed both hands down your thighs only to stop and press at the cellulite there with that same unhappy look. A second later your hands came up under your chest, lifting your breasts like you were checking if they sat right, then dropping them again when they didnât magically become somebody elseâs.
âBabe?â he asked finally, quiet enough to make you jump. âWhatâs the matter?â
You looked at him in the mirror and then right back at yourself, already annoyed heâd caught you like this. âEvery single thing I own makes me look like a busted can of biscuits.â
Jax pushed off the frame and came toward you, eyes still on your reflection. âJesus, baby, knock it off. Youâre fuckinâ beautiful.â
You rolled your eyes automatically, because that was easier than letting yourself feel how close you were to tears. âYou lie.â
That got a frown out of him. Jax stopped behind you and set his hands on your hips, warm and steady. âWhy do you do that?â he asked. âWhy do you look at yourself like that, then act like Iâm just sayinâ whatever Iâm supposed to say?â
You looked down. âBecause you love me. You donât see me the way I do.â
âYeah, I do,â he answered, no hesitation at all. His thumbs dragged once over your sides. âAnd I know exactly what I see. You walk into a room and make it real hard for me to pay attention to anything else.â
You swallowed, still staring at the mirror. âI just feel gross.â
Something in Jaxâs face tightened, like the words hurt to hear. Your eyes met his in the mirror, and the look on his face made your chest ache.
His hands tightened on your hips. âDonât say that.â
The words came flat and immediate, not harsh, but firm enough to make you hold his gaze in the mirror. One hand slid down, slow and certain, until it settled full on your ass.
âYouâre standinâ here pickinâ yourself apart while Iâve got this plump ass in my hand,â he rasped near your ear, his palm dragging over the full curve of you before squeezing. âYou really think Iâm gonna let you talk shit about a body I canât keep my hands off?â Another slow squeeze. âNot a chance.â
Heat rushed up your neck.
When your stomach tightened under his other hand, Jax caught it immediately. âQuit that,â he chided, flattening his palm there when you tried to suck in, his mouth brushing your shoulder. âQuit tryinâ to make yourself smaller for me.â
He held you exactly as you were, broad hand warm over your stomach, then dipped his head to kiss your shoulder and the side of your neck. âI like this,â he nibbled against your skin. âI like all of it.â
Your throat tightened. âI donât know how to see what you see.â
âLet me show you.â
Jax traced lower, palms skimming over the fullness of your thighs before his thumbs pressed into the cellulite there with slow familiarity. âThese thighs,â he said, kissing just below your ear, âI know every soft little spot in âem. Know exactly how they feel under my hands and just how pretty they look spread for me when Iâm between âem.â
A shaky breath slipped out of you, and Jax smiled against your skin when you shivered.
He brought both hands up to cup your breasts from behind, lifting them slowly, appreciating the weight while his mouth stayed at your shoulder. âYour big beautiful tits,â he praised against your skin, âI could spend all night on these alone. Love the way they fill my hands, the way they bounce when you walk over to me. Especially love how they look when youâre on top and I canât stop watchinâ.â
A helpless sound escaped you, and Jaxâs mouth tipped into a satisfied smile. âThatâs my girl.â
He eased you away from the mirror until you were facing him instead. He kept his hands on you the whole time, from your waist to your hips to your ass and back again, open and shameless in the way he touched you, like there wasnât a single part of you he wasnât happy to claim.
âWeâre not goinâ anywhere tonight,â he said, lips skimming yours.
âJaxââ
âNope.â Another kiss.
His mouth drifted to your cheek and down the side of your throat as he pulled your body flush against him, the hard bulge in his jeans pressing into you. âYou and me are stayinâ right here,â Jax said, mouth brushing your neck, âand Iâm gonna spend the rest of the night puttinâ my hands on all the parts you were just tearinâ apart.â
He kissed your shoulder, then let his mouth hover near your ear, rough and fond and filthy all at once. âGonna kiss every soft inch. Get you so worked up you forget what the hell you were even upset about.â His hand stayed at your hip, thumb dragging once before settling there. âAnd if you still wanna argue with me after that, Iâll keep remindinâ you just how fuckinâ wrong you are.â
A shiver rippled through you. Your pussy fluttered at the promise, slick heat gathering before you could do a damn thing about it. âYeah?â
Jaxâs expression went slow and wicked. Then he kissed you again, hard enough to make your knees weaken, and walked you backward away from the mirror until the backs of your legs hit the bed.
âYeah,â he breathed, eyes on yours, guiding you onto the bed. âNow lay back for me.â

âSince when do we do birthday presents?â I ask, eyeing up the sleek black box heâs toying with in his hands.
âWeâve always done birthday presents y/nâ he chuckles shaking his head.
âYeah but notâŠâ I point to the box, one eyebrow raised in curiosity. By birthday presents he means weâd buy the other food, or a drink, or something basic you know? ââŠwhateverâs in that fucking boxâ
âItâs not a ring if thatâs what youâre thinkingâ he sways slightly, leaning back against the TM railing.
My throat goes dry as I try to swallow. âThat's not what I was thinkingâ Technically I'm not lying, cause I wasnât thinking it in that moment, but Iâd be lying if I said Iâve never imagined it before. The future...our future. What it could look like if one of us stopped being such a pussy and finally admitted how we felt.
âIâm kiddinââŠnah itâs just a lilâ somethinâ. Plus I felt bad not seeinâ you on your actual birthday. Kinda felt like I was breakin' traditionâ
âYeahâŠwellâŠâ I force my expression into something a little more friendly. Donât let it show. âCanât leave your new girl hanging for lil old meâ
He lets out a tired sigh, one I donât think he was meant to make obvious. âSheâs not my girlâ
âNot what Ope saidâ the words come out sharper than I intended them too. I clear my throat, repositioning myself beside him, our shoulders brushing just a little but I already feel the warmth in my stomach so fucking bad.
âYou want this fuckinâ present or not?â He deflects as always, his hand coming into view tilting the box towards me.
âGimme itâ I laugh, taking it from him and inspecting the outside.
âI know youâve always wanted a kutte but unfortunately, thatâs not possibleâ
A laugh bubbles over, âyeah, cause youâre all sexist assholesâ
âSomethinâ like thatâŠâ he huffs a laugh, ââŠwill you just open the goddamn box y/nâ
Inside the black velvet casing is a chunky gold chain, and the pendant swinging from itâŠoh my god.
âItâs one of one. No one has, or ever will have somethinâ like itâŠNot even my momâ he winks at the mention of Gemma.
I gently lift the necklace away from its spot, holding it up as the sun catches the gold crow. In its claws, tiny diamond encrusted letters. SAMCRO. The sunlight flickers off every single one.
âJaxâŠthis isâŠâ
âI knew youâd like itâ that oh so familiar grin presents itself once again, though this time less mischief and more pride. âGot it a lilâ longer than the others, so it doesnât knot up with all that other gold on your neckâ
âThis isâŠI donât evenâŠâ I let out a breathy laugh, me speechlessâŠsomething you donât see a lot. âThank you Jackson, I⊠I love itâ
The space between us suddenly feels smaller than itâs ever been, and I see the way his expression shifts ever so slightly, like heâs holding back something he knows he canât say out loud. His eyes rake over my face like heâs trying to memorise every last detail, then they go lower, pause at my lips for a fraction of a second, before landing back on the chain still sitting pretty in my hand.
âTurn around darlinââ he says softly.
I place the necklace in his hands before doing so, turning my back to him.
âHairâ he mumbles.
I follow his instructions, exposing the back of my neck as he steps in behind me. The cool chain slides around my neck, his gentle and calloused fingers brushing against my skin. I hate how it makes me feel, like the goosebumps are a reminder of something Iâll most likely never have.
Once I feel the clasp close, and his hands move away from me, I turn to face him again. âSoâŠâ my turn to deflect. âYou been buying jewellery for all your friends now, or am I just special?â
âDonât startâ Jax shakes his head with a laugh as we make our way over to the picnic benches.
He pulls out a pack of smokes from his pocket, taps one out for me first, lighting mine before his own as always.
âYou ever wonder what itâd be like if we werenât brought up in the MC?â I ask, running a thumb over the SAMCRO lettering on the pendant, looking out towards the main road behind the clubhouse gates.
âNot reallyâŠâ he exhales, blowing away from my direction. âwhyâŠyou thinkinâ about leavinâ?â The concern is hidden beneath his tone, but itâs obvious on his face.
âNoâŠâ I shake my head, âI just-â
An old cutlass rolls through the gates, parking just out of distance at the top of the lot. âWho the fucks that?â
Jax glances over his shoulder, âshitâ he sighs, rising from the table and dropping his smoke before crushing it beneath his air force. His face twists apologetically âgimme one secâ.
I watch him stride across the lot towards the car, his gold still cool between my thumb and index finger. The new girlâŠor I think it is, Iâm just assuming it is.
He leans down, saying something through the window before climbing into the passenger seat. Not even a second later, the cutlass pulls away faster than it arrived, disappearing back through the metal bars.
I push myself up from the table, my eyes still burning through the tarmac where she was parked, the crow resting heavy against my chest. âDonât ghost me Jaxâ I whisper under my breath, turning away from the road and heading back into the clubhouse.
It wasn't often when Jax wasn't busy with the club, but there were rare nights he'd come home early from the clubhouseânights where you spent time as a family. This time he'd offered to watch the boys while you ran out for a quick grocery trip without toting them around and calming meltdowns in the produce aisle.
Which is how you found him seated at the kitchen table with Abel and Thomas when you returned, everyone's heads bowed down over the table while Play Doh tools were scattered along it next to the bits of colorful smears of clay. Laden with a handful of grocery bags, you couldnât help but smile at the sight, especially when both little blonde heads darted up to greet you as you stepped into the kitchen.
âMama, look!â Abel exclaimed. He proudly held up his arms, displaying a few round lumps of bright blue stuck together in his palms. âI made a kitty!â
âThat's great, buddy,â you said. âI like his ears!â
Heading over to the counter, you set the grocery bags down as Thomas bounced up and down on his knees in his chair. Looking over your shoulder, you saw him raise his small hands and hold up a smushed ball of green that was truly indecipherable.
âIt's a turtle!â he explained, grinning a toothy smile.
âWhat a cute turtle!â you gushed. âDid you make him all by yourself?â
Thomas nodded wildly, his attention returning to the glob of green that he claimed was a turtle. He picked up a rolling pin before running it over the turtle, which is when your gaze shifted to Jax. He was quiet in his seat, head still bent down as stray blonde hairs framed his face. His hands were busy molding yellow Play Doh between them, the color embedded in his rings and nails, but you couldn't quite tell what he was constructing.
âAnd what's dad making?â you asked.
Taking a few steps away from the counter, you crossed the kitchen and stopped beside him, peering just over his shoulder. Jax straightened in his chair, his hands resting on the table and giving you a clear view of his creation. You looked down at the two yellow balls stuck to either side of a long, thick length of rolled out Play Doh before a single brow flicked up onto your forehead. Both boys were leaning over the table to get a better view while Jax simply looked up at you, a gleefully boyish smile stretched across his lips.
âWhat is that?â Abel questioned, brows furrowed.
âYeah, babe,â Jax began. âWhat is it?â
The kick to his foot beneath the table was so subtle that the boys didn't catch it, but a devious glint flickered in Jaxâs eyes.
âIt's an elephant,â you lied to the boys. âDad made an elephant.â
âWith a really big trunk,â Jax added, shooting you a wink.
It followed you around like it was your actual name sometimes, tossed out casually by people who thought it covered everything. Like years of showing up, helping, and quietly carrying your share of the weight could be reduced to who you came in with.
The clubhouse had thinned out, though a few guys were still around. A half-hearted game of pool dragged on in the back, the jukebox humming beneath it all instead of drowning everything out. It shouldâve felt calmer than it did.
You sat at the bar with a beer going warm in your hand, chewing lightly on the inside of your cheek while you let the clubhouse noise roll over you, trying not to let it get under your skin, trying not to think about how much harder it had become to wear that label now that Nicky was gone and you were still the one here.
There was a time when it felt a lot like safety. You were younger then, in over your head and trapped in the kind of trouble that left little room for pride. Nicky found you at the right moment and offered you a way out when few others would have. A life safer than the one youâd been living.
For a while, being Nickyâs old lady felt a whole lot better than being nobodyâs anything.
Gemma took one look at you and decided you would either toughen up or be swallowed whole. So, she taught you how to stand your ground, make yourself useful, and survive men like these without ever seeming fragile. In the years that followed, you built another kind of armorâbeauty, confidence, and the quiet assurance of knowing exactly what you brought into a room. Between the clubhouse, the business, and everything in between, this life had taken root in you.
And over time, you became damn good at it.
You accepted the life for what it was, learning how to read a room, when to stay quiet, when to step in, and how to stay steady when things got ugly. You kept the coffee hot, patched up cuts, knew which bottle belonged to whom, who got mean when drunk, and who was all bark with no bite.
Nicky may have been why you came, but he wasnât the only reason you stayed. Somewhere along the way, the club stopped feeling like his world and started feeling like yours.
Which was why hearing âNickyâs old ladyâ grated worse now than it used to.
Because it wasnât wrong. It just wasnât the whole truth.
You took another sip of your beer and scanned the room. A couple of crow-eaters still lingered by the couch, waiting for a prospect to notice them. You rolled your eyes and looked away, more weary than judgmental. Everything seemed ordinary, but you still felt restless in your own skin.
When the clubhouse door swung open, your eyes lifted on instinct. The reaction was immediate, a small swoop in your stomach, and sure enough, your eyes landed right on Jax.
That had been happening more often lately, which was its own problem. Youâd always noticed Jaxâanyone with eyes would. Heâd been around long enough, and close enough to your life, that ignoring him was never really an option. But lately, noticing him felt different, harder to dismiss, like something quiet and long-buried finally decided to make itself known.
He stepped inside with that easy stride of his, kutte open over a hoodie, white sneakers dragging lightly over the floorboards as he pushed the door shut behind him. A black hat sat low over shorter blond hair, the cut making his face look a little rougher, his beard neater, his jaw more defined. His storm-blue eyes swept the room in one quick, automatic pass before landing on you. The exchange between you was subtle enough that no one else would have noticedâa slight lift of his chin and a polite smile from you. Even so, it felt like more.
By the time Jax got across the room, youâd nearly talked yourself out of whatever you thought had passed between you.
He leaned one forearm against the bar beside you and tipped his head toward the beer in your hand. âA clubhouse beer? You hate those.â
You laughed softly, lifted the bottle slightly, and made a face at it. âYeah, well. Itâs been a long fucking day helping Gem with all the Taste of Charming shit.â
âYeah?â he huffed. âHeard sheâs had you runninâ around.â
âShe had all of us running around.â You tilted the bottle back and finished it, giving him a look over the rim that said he had no idea. Your eyes drifted toward the hallway and the back room, irritation tightening quietly in your chest. âI was supposed to catch a ride home with Ari, but Ari is nowhere to be found.â
Jax looked around too, following your line of sight.
A soft snort slipped out as you rolled your eyes. âSheâs probably getting bent over something with Chibs right behind her.â
Jax let out a quick, warm laughâhead dropping for a second before he looked back at you, the smile still there, curving a little crooked at his mouth and softening the usual firmness of it. His lips parted just enough on the tail end of it, and for one stupid second, your eyes caught there before you made them move. The sight of it coaxed a smile out of you tooâdespite how tired you wereâeasing some of the anxiousness in your chest.
His eyes moved over you a little more closely. âYou been alright, sweetheart?â
The usual answer almost came out on autopilot. Fine. Managing. But the truth slipped free before you could stop it.
âBetter than I thought Iâd be.â
The empty bottle turned slowly against the bar beneath your fingers, your eyes dropping to it for a beat before lifting back to him. Hiding behind the usual bullshit got a whole lot harder with Jax looking at you that way. He didnât say anything, just held your gaze with something earnest and almost comforting in his expression.
âItâs weird.â Your head tipped slightly, attention wandering past him for a moment. âSome days I feel guilty because Iâm not falling apart the way everybody probably thinks I should be. Some days him being gone feels a hell of a lot easier than I want to admit.â A swallow caught in your throat. âAnd some days Iâm just tired of being seen the same way all the time.â
His expression made your stomach turn over. Not pity. Not judgment. Understanding.
Which somehow felt worse.
You exhaled a small breath that almost passed for a laugh. âWell. That was probably more honest than you were askinâ for.â
Jaxâs mouth softened a little. âDoesnât make me think less of you.â He kept his eyes on yours as he added, his voice gentler now, âMaybe itâs easier because youâve been doinâ the hard part alone for a while now.â
Your throat tightened, and you hated that it did.
Looking down, you shook your head once, more to buy yourself a moment than anything else. âAnyone ever tell you youâre annoyingly perceptive?â
It shouldâve sounded more teasing than it did.
That drew a low chuckle out of him, his lips pressing together like he was holding back a bigger smile. âBlessinâ and a curse, darlinâ.â
It wouldâve been really easy to stay in that moment a second too long and make it into something more than it was. The air had shifted just enough to make you keenly aware of where he stood, the way he looked at you, and how quickly the rest of the room faded with his attention settled on you.
Itâs not like the attraction had come out of nowhere. Itâd been there a long time, in small, easy-to-dismiss ways. The way he looked in a white tee, the warmth of his hugs, the rough drag in his voice when he said your name. Heâd always gotten to you. You just hadnât let yourself sit with it long enough to call it anything.
Now it was harder not to. Being around Jax started doing things to your body before your mind had the chance to catch up. Something slow climbing up your chest, a stammer in your pulseâa restless pull in your stomach that only got worse the longer he stood there looking at you.
It was ridiculous how quickly he could get you there without touching you at all, and maybe that was the most dangerous part. The rush of it felt good, intoxicating enough to make staying right where you were feel like a worse idea by the minute.
You pulled back before it got any more obvious. Pushing off the barstool, you reached for your bag and slung it over your shoulder, giving yourself something to do besides sit there under his stare. âI should probably go,â you said, trying for casual. âIâm exhausted.â
Your eyes drifted toward the hallway, irritation flickering again. âIâll have one of the prospects give me a lift home.â
âWhat? No.â Jax straightened a little. âIâll take you.â
A small shake of your head was all you gave him, doing your best to keep your expression even. âYou donât have to.â
âI know.â His eyes stayed on yours. âBut I want to.â
The words were matter-of-fact, but there was something too quick in the way he said them. His mouth tugged at one corner; your pulse fluttered before he added, a touch more casual, âLong as you donât mind the bike.â
Your body reacted again, immediate and shameless. The thought of wrapping yourself around Jax on the back of his bike, close enough to feel him under your hands with that low vibration working between your legs, turned you on so fast it almost pissed you off. You kept your face as still as you could manage, teeth catching lightly on your bottom lip.
âNo,â you murmured. âI donât mind the bike at all.â
Outside, the sky over the lot was still holding onto the last of the light, soft pink and faded orange near the horizon while the rest of it cooled into that dusty blue-purple the valley got right before dark. The air had a little bite to it compared to inside, but it did nothing for the heat already moving under your skin. The parking lot was mostly empty, washed in weak yellow light, a few bikes still lined up in crooked rows. Jax led you over to his without saying much, holding out the spare helmet once you got there. Your fingers brushed his when you took it, your pulse giving that same stupid little flutter all over again.
The helmet strap clicked into place under your chin while you watched Jax swing one long leg over the seat. He held it steady beneath him with an ease that made it obvious how natural this was for himâboth feet planted, one hand dropping to the bars, his shoulders shifting beneath the kutte as he got comfortable.
After a moment spent watching, aroused by how good he looked doing something so simple, you took a breath and stepped in close to climb on, one hand braced on his shoulder, the other catching lightly at his side for balance. It was practical, just a way to steady yourself, but it still gave you too muchâthe flex of muscle beneath leather and cotton, and the simple, unfair fact of how sturdy he felt.
You knew exactly how to do this. How to settle into the seat, how to fit yourself behind him, how to move with the machine before it even started. And once you were there, close behind Jax with your knees bracketing his hips, it hit you all over again how much you had missed it. The bike. The power under you. The way it woke your whole body up.
Jax reached for the handlebars, and you were instantly, stupidly aware of all of himâthe width of his back, the heavy shape of him in front of you, the play of muscle in his forearms as his hands settled into place, and exactly how little space there really was between your bodies now.
The bike rumbled to life between your legs, low and deep and rough enough to knock a breath out of you. Your arms went around his waist on instinct, palms flattening over his stomach, and the second you touched him, you felt the smallest tension move through him.
Your mouth went dry. Beneath your hands, he was all warmth and solid muscle, enough to send your mind somewhere filthy before you could stop it. The faint scent of soap lingered on his skin, mixed with leather and smoke now that you were this close. Your thoughts came in flashes. What heâd feel like over you. What those shoulders would look like above you. What exactly those hands would do if they werenât busy keeping the bike steady.
You leaned close, your mouth near his ear. âTake the long way home.â
Jax turned his head just enough for you to catch the slow, satisfied curve of his mouth, a smirk he didnât even try to hide before he rolled the throttle.
Wind rushed over your skin, cool and sharp, but your body stayed hot. The engineâs steady vibration settled deep, every shift of the bike pressing you tighter to him, every turn dragging your body against his in a way that stopped feeling innocent almost immediately.
It all felt too good too fast.
Your hands stayed spread over his stomach, and the longer you held on, the more your thoughts slipped. Beneath your palms, the flex of him every time he moved made it impossible not to think about how easy dominance seemed to come to him.
You started to wonder what that same dominance would feel like in bed.
What heâd be like if he ever stopped holding himself back around you. Not sweet. Not soft. Would he take his time just to make you beg for him. Would he pin you down with that same certainty he rode with, already knowing youâd take whatever he gave you.
The next curve pressed you flush to his back, a gasp catching in your throat as your thighs hugged in tighter and your chest pressed more firmly against him. You shouldâve adjusted, given yourself some space, but you stayed where you were, feeling all of him through layers that suddenly didnât feel like enough.
Your mind went straight to his hands on your thighs, guiding them apart, his mouth at your neck, his teeth grazing just enough to make you moan. That gravelly voice of his in your ear, telling you exactly what he wanted, but holding back just long enough to make you ask for it first.
You shifted once on the seat and the vibration hit lower that way, dirty enough to make you suck in a sharp breath. Relief shot through you before shame could. Suddenly you were very, very aware of the fact that if this ride lasted much longer, you were going to be in real trouble.
Because if this had been anybody else, you would not be thinking about what Jax Teller would feel like buried inside your pussy. You would not have been picturing the set of his jaw while he fucked you or wondering if heâd finally lose that control when you came around his cock.
Your cheek rested briefly against his shoulder, the edge of town sliding by in a blur of streetlights and dark storefronts, and more than anything, you wanted to know what heâd do if you stopped being good.
Just once. Just to see what happened if you pressed your mouth to his neck, if you let your hands wander lower. If you told him to pull over and dragged the quiet, dangerous restraint right out of him with your own hands.
The thought hit you so hard it made you hold him tighter. Jax had to feel the way your arms cinched around him, the way your body kept melting into his with every mile. Maybe he thought it was the ride. Maybe he knew better.
By the time the edge of town had disappeared behind you and home was only a few turns away, your body was wound tight with restless energy. Your thoughts had turned fully indecent and you werenât even trying to stop them anymore.
Imagining him gripping your chin and making you look at him, that focused intensity in his eyes never wavering. His voice low and rough in your ear, telling you how good you were for him, how wet and tight you felt. Just the thought of hearing those words in his voice sent a thrill straight through you.
And more than anything, you hated knowing you were going to have to let him go.
He pulled up in front of your place too soon.
The engine dropped into a low idle before he killed it, and the sudden quiet made everything feel louder somehow. Your breathing. Your heartbeat. The fact that your arms were still wrapped around his waist like they hadnât spent the whole ride getting you into trouble.
You let go slowly, hands sliding from his stomach, and the loss of contact felt immediate. Annoying, really.
Using his shoulder for balance, you swung your leg over and climbed off. The ground felt strangely unsteady after the ride, your pulse still humming beneath your skin as you adjusted the strap of your bag and took a step back.
When you slipped the helmet off and handed it back, his fingers brushed yours. Barely anything, but it still felt electric. Neither of you moved right away. You just stood there with the last of the evening fading around you, the bike ticking softly as it cooled, silence stretching between you. The way he was looking at you made it hard to be the one who broke it.
âThanks for the ride,â you murmured.
Jax nodded once, the helmet hanging loose from his hand. âAnytime.â
Instead of letting you go, he swung off the bike and came around to your side, walking with you across the short stretch of driveway to the porch. He stayed close enough that you could still feel the warmth of him beside you, and by the time you reached the steps, the ride might have been over, but your body had not gotten the message.
Keys in hand, you turned toward him, meaning to say goodnight and end it there, but something in his face stopped you. He looked more serious now, more settled in whatever he was about to say.
âYa know,â he began, his voice softer than before, âI see all the ways you help the club. With my mom. Down at the shop. All of it.â
Your eyes lifted to his, surprise flickering there. âJax, you donât have toââ
âYeah,â he cut in quietly. âI do.â
Something in the way he said it made your heart clench, because heâd clearly been paying attention for a while now. He shifted his weight, one hand resting near the railing, his eyes still on you in that calm way that somehow felt more dangerous than if heâd done something reckless.
âA lot of people still see the old version,â he went on. âSomebody tied to a patch. That kinda thing.â His mouth tightened slightly before he added, âBut thatâs not all you are. Hasnât been for a long time.â
You just looked at him, your stomach dropping and flipping all at once.
Maybe because you hadnât expected it. Maybe because it was the exact thing that had been sitting under your skin all night, the thing you never said out loud because it sounded petty when it wasnât. It was personal. It was years of being folded into somebody elseâs name after giving pieces of yourself to a life that had long since become your own.
Jax glanced toward the door, then back at you. âYouâve been holdinâ more together than most people know.â His gaze dipped briefly, the toe of his white sneaker scuffing against the worn porch step, and when he looked up again, his eyes were as blue and sincere as youâd ever seen them. âIâm real grateful for you, darlinâ.â
A flush crept up your neck again, softer this time. Not embarrassment. Something more tender than that. Too close to relief.
âI do what Iâm supposed to,â you managed, your voice catching more than you wanted it to. âSame as everyone else.â
He gave the slightest shake of his head. âNah, itâs more than that.â
With your bag hanging from your shoulder and the last of the ride still humming in your body, you stood there and let his words settle into places youâd kept shut for a long time.
Exhaling a breath, you ducked your head and tried for a smile, because this man was absolutely wrecking you. âYou always this good at saying exactly the thing you shouldnât?â
A small, sincere smile touched his mouth. âOnly when I mean it.â
Your gaze dropped to his lips before you could stop it. It was quick, but not so quick that it went unnoticed, and when you looked back up, something in his expression had changed.
âYou should get inside,â he told you, his words quieter this time.
âYeah,â you answered, though your feet didnât seem interested in listening.
Jax moved in just enough to make your pulse stumble. His left hand found your upper arm, warm through the fabric, and the touch alone was enough to set every nerve in your body on fire before he leaned in and pressed a kiss to your cheek.
It shouldâve felt innocent, but he didnât rush it. His mouth lingered long enough for the touch of it to settle into your skin, the soft scrape of his beard brushing lightly against your cheek, and when he pulled back, the air between you felt even thinner than before.
âGoodnight.â
The words stuck slightly on the way out. âGoodnight, Jax.â
This time you made yourself walk to the door. You could still feel the ghost of his mouth on your skin and hear his voice in your headânone of which should have been enough to do this to you.
What you shouldâve felt was guilt. Youâd just spent the whole ride wrapped around another man, thinking things you had no business thinking, looking at Jax like maybe you wanted him to know. You shouldâve hated yourself for that.
That realization slid through you, settling somewhere ugly and honest.
You didnât feel guilty enough. Not for the way your body had come alive the second you climbed on behind him. Not for the thoughts youâd had with your arms around his waist and your mouth near his ear.
If anything, standing there with him under the dull porch light only made one thing clear: you wanted to know what might happen if you werenât âNickyâs Old Lady.â
And when you looked back once before going inside, Jax was still there, watching you like the night had left something unfinished between you.
I've already told you how proud of you I am for busting this out so quickly after you just treated us to a delectable Ray fic, but bestie you are crushing it!
I owe you so much love on that one still and now this one, and can't wait to sit down and give my full attention to these fucking outstanding worlds you give us đ
