Jax smiled and rubbed his face. “Fine. You win. You want me to prove it, and I will. Nothing is going to prevent me from getting into those little panties, especially not my brother and his girlfriend, but we’re not going this weekend. Oh, no, beautiful. You’re not getting out of it that easy.”
I frowned. “What do you mean?”
“We’re going to handle your parents.” His hand slid over my thigh again, this time getting very close to going up my shorts. “I want you, that’s no secret. That’s the reason I won’t let you make excuses not to go. I’ve seen what you’ve lost since your sister’s death. Hell, you wouldn’t of had to deal with that douche Seth if you didn’t have a reason to move to Kentucky. I’m not saying your relationship can be salvaged, but they need to know that punishing you won’t bring her back. They still have a daughter who needs them more than she’s willing to admit. I’ve seen you on that stage, Amber. I watch you pretend to be someone else because you can’t handle the person you’ve had to become. You need to know how beautiful you are inside and out. You need to be able to see what I do when I’m around you. I’ve never met someone like you, and I don’t think I ever will again. From the moment I laid eyes on you I knew you were something special. Every second we spend together I find another reason to want to be with you.” He continued massaging my upper thigh. “You say you want to know everything about me, well I’m telling you the biggest part. I’ll make you a deal. We go to Ohio and see this through, and then I’ll take you home to North Carolina. You’ll see why I had to leave, and the reason I’ll never go back. I’ll even wait until we’re home to ask for my prize.”
“You drive a hard bargain, Jax Mitchell.” I took a deep breath. “Let’s get this show on the road. The sooner we get there, the faster we can head home.”
We were quiet again for a while, both having a ton on our minds. I felt nervous about seeing my family, but knew that if it led Jax to making amends with Jake it would be worth it. There may not have been hope for me, but there was still a chance for the twins.
Chapter 25
Jax
She had me by the balls, and I knew there was nothing I could do about it. Amber was adamant about me seeing Jake again, even though I wasn’t interested. I knew I had to change the subject, in order to calm down. “What was the hottest sex you’ve ever had?”
She turned around, shocked that I’d just randomly asked such a taboo question. I liked how she had such an innocent side to her. It made my time with her special because it was parts she refused to share with anyone else. “Seriously? You first.”
“Suddenly this question seems loaded.”
“If you tell me yours, I’ll tell you mine.”
It was difficult to pinpoint one particular instance of hot sex, though I did have a few that came to mind. “There was this one away game where this group of girls were all over me and Jake. We took them back to our room. For a while they were all over each other.”
“How many?” She asked.
“Five, I think. Anyway, they were all making out with each other, drinking, and teasing us. Three of them went over to be with Jake, and two stayed with me. I’m not gay by any means, but being with two chicks, and watching three more fucking each other wasn’t something I’ll ever forget.”
“Okay,” she said as she looked away. “My story doesn’t compare to yours, Jax.”
“Sorry. You asked. I’m just being honest. Reese thought I was disgusting for bringing it up too.”
Amber shyly turned around and smiled. “It’s not that. I think women are beautiful. I just can’t be involved with more than one person. I’m too jealous. I’m not bi-sexual, so don’t get the wrong idea when I say this, but when I was in high school I messed around with one of my friends at a party. We took these pills and had been drinking. I don’t remember much, and thankfully we were alone when it happened.”
“Holy shit! I’m getting hard. Keep talking.”
“Jax, we were young. It was more fondling and kissing than anything else. We were so embarrassed the next morning that we stopping being friends.”
I was hoping she’d make something up. “Damn, I was picturing it differently in my head.”
She shoved me and laughed. “Of course you were.”
“Was that the hottest?”
Amber shook her head. “No. If it’s okay with you, I’d rather not reminisce about it.”
Suddenly I realized why she said it. Her hottest experience had been with Seth, probably early in their secret affair. “Shit. I’m sorry. I’m a fucking asshole.”
She reached over and folded her arm under mine, placing her head on my shoulder. “It’s okay. Let’s just say it involves being on the top level of a parking garage in a convertible.”
“That’s sexy.”
She laughed and got quiet again, so I decide to break the ice. “When I first saw you at the club I had this dream about you. You tied me up and made me beg to eat your pussy.”
The mood in the car changed. When I looked over her eyes were huge. “Are you serious?”
I nodded and looked back at the highway. “Dead serious. It was so hot I could taste you when I woke up.”
“Well, what did I taste like?” She asked curiously.
“Heaven.”
Amber was quiet for a only a few seconds, and when I looked over I could tell she was thinking, with a smirk on her face. “So you like being tied up?”
“If you’re doing it, then hell yes. I’m used to being in control, but after that dream, I’d be open to anything your little heart desires.”
“You do realize that was your imagination, not mine. Maybe I only like missionary position. Maybe I like keeping my shirt on.”
She was trying to get a rise out of me. “I’ll still like it, because it’s with you.”
“You don’t know that. It could be the worst you’ve ever had.”
“I can pull over and give you my honest opinion if you want to give me a sample.” She knew I was joking, and appreciated my sense of humor about the situation. “I like making you wait.”
“Amber,” I squeezed her hand. “I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want you. Nothing I’ve experienced before will compare to this. I like you, and you’re so fucking beautiful it’s insane. I’m afraid I’ll be the one who isn’t worthy. I’ve gotten around, and taken a lot of girls for granted. Even with Reese, I liked to be in control. I already know it’s not going to be like that with you. I’m giving you control, because I know how important it is that we go at your pace.”
“All of my rules have been broken so far with you, Jax. I mean, I said I don’t date men that come in the club. Here I am calling you my boyfriend after only a week. I’m taking you home to meet my parents, and it’s obvious that we’re going to sleep together. I’ve never wanted anyone like this either. It’s scary and exciting, and I don’t want it to stop. I know part of it is the anticipation of being together, but getting to know you has been so satisfying. You make me smile. You keep me safe, and you’re not at all hard to look at.”
“You mean naked, right? You like seeing me naked?” I taunted.
“I like seeing you dressed as well.”
She hadn’t denied it. “I knew you liked the Jaxinator.”
“The Jaxinator seems to have an obsession with me.” She pointed to my crotch. In my defense it wasn’t fully erect, but somewhat hard.
“He’s just saying hi. He’s not used to being left out. He doesn’t get along with my hand very much.”
Amber shocked me when she let go of my hand and rubbed her palm up my thigh. Immediately I felt warmth rushing through me. This was what happened when I had to hold out for pussy. I was losing control with the simplest touch. The closer she got to my package the harder it was to focus on the road. I blinked a couple times and tried to pretend she wasn’t touching me. When I turned to glance at her she was biting down on her bottom lip and focused on her movements. Reluctantly I reached for her hand and halted her. “You
can’t do that while I’m driving. We may end up in a ditch if you keep at it.”
Amber freed her hand and went back to work, finally cupping her hold around my dick. “So this is off limits?”
I groaned and made a funny face. “Don’t make me answer that.”
She rocked her hand back and forth to get another response out of me. I attempted to adjust in my seat. “Jax,” she whispered against my ear. “Tell me to stop.”
I shook my head. “Nope. Not going to happen.” I was determined to keep her hand right where it was.
“What if I did this?” A cool surge let me know she’d removed her hand, but nothing could have prepared me for the instant arousal I’d get when she shoved her fingers up my shorts, tickling my balls while kissing my lobe. “Would you tell me to stop?”
I swallowed another lump in my throat and stayed focused on the vehicle in front of me. “This isn’t going to end well. Keep that seatbelt on, just in case I pass out.”
Her giggles sent air into my ear, giving me chills. Amber was teasing me on purpose, knowing I couldn’t refuse her. Her lips were close to mine. “Kiss me, Jax.”
Kissing her with my eyes open wasn’t as hot as I wanted it to be. My fear that we were going to wreck was preventing me from enjoying her games fully. Her tongue teased my lips, and then she went back to teasing my ear. “I want to pull over.”
“Keep driving,” she whispered.
With one hand on the wheel, I dropped the other down and reached it between her legs. Her little shorts were easy to maneuver into, and I was pretty surprised when she didn’t push me away. Amber stopped groping me when my fingertips reached her soft panties. I moved them to the side and glanced over to make sure she was okay. “Stop or go. You tell me.”
She closed her eyes and threw her head back in the chair. “Go.”
Rubbing my fingers over that pussy was something I couldn’t forget, not ever. She was so warm, so wet, as I slowly located and entered between her lips. The slickness was a constant reminder of how turned on she was. Amber took ahold of my arm and controlled the pace at which I fingered her. I could tell she liked how I was making her feel, and that only turned me on more. “Fuck this.” I pulled my finger out of her to be able to turn off into a rest stop. I don’t even know if the car was in park before she’d climbed over and was sitting on top of me. Our lips connected, and as soon as I felt her tongue nothing else mattered. I reached my hand back up her shorts, having a better angle to work with this time around. Amber leaned back against the steering wheel, allowing me to reach my free hand up her shirt. She rocked her pussy against my two fingers as they sloshed inside of her wet hole. “Oh god, Jax. I want you so bad.”
“Cum for me. Just focus on this first.” I wanted to please her, and this was the easiest way to do it. I took my thumb and circled around her clit, determined to hit her sensitive spot enough to make her crazy. She closed her eyes and cried out at the same time I felt her walls pushing me out as they tightened. Amber leaned in to kiss me. “I don’t know if I want to wait for more.” We kissed slowly. My heart was beating so damn fast. “I want you, Jax. Taste me.” She lifted my fingers to my own mouth and watched as I savored the essence of her for the first time. Her heavy eyes made me aware of how ready she really was. There was only one problem.
I knew what I wanted, and what I had to do. “Not like this.” I pushed her back so I could keep my composure. “I’m going to hate myself for this, but I won’t sleep with you for the first time in a car. You deserve to be pampered. A woman that tastes as good as you is worth the wait.”
Amber reached down and rubbed against my crotch again. “What if I returned the favor?”
“Whoa,” I said as she tugged on my shorts. “Seriously?”
She nodded. “You can drive while I spend time with the Jaxinator.” She slid her body to the passenger side, buckled her seatbelt and leaned back to be close to me.
As much as I wanted this, I knew I wouldn’t be able to operate a moving vehicle. “Wait.” I lifted her head up to look at me. “You don’t have to. I can wait for all of it.”
“So, you don’t want me to do it?”
“Oh, trust me, I want it.” I pulled her closer by the chin. “Kiss me.” This time I closed my eyes and focused on only what was happening with our tongues. While they mingled, I ran my hand up into her hair. Our lips parted and I rubbed my nose against hers. “I can wait.”
She pointed to my crotch. “Can he?”
“It will be a trying time for the both of us,” I admitted. “Let’s get back on the road. As soon as we get to your bedroom all bets are off. I’m just warning you now.”
This woman would be the death of me, and I was fully prepared for it to happen.
Chapter 26
Amber
I have no idea what had gotten into me. All of a sudden I was dying to be with him. The fact that I’d let him do that to me in my car was just an example of how comfortable I felt with Jax.
“Let’s get back on the road. As soon as we get to your bedroom all bets are off. I’m just warning you now.”
I kissed him one more time as we pulled back onto the highway. “Hopefully you’ll still be saying that once my mother gets her claws in you.”
Jax gave me a double take. “Say what? Is she freaky?”
I burst into laughter. “No. Oh my god, no. She’s a prude. You’re going to give her a heart attack with your mouth. I can’t wait.”
It was terrible for me to want Jax to offend her. I knew it, but it didn’t stop me from hoping it happened.
“I’ll have you know that I can be a gentlemen. My parents instilled manners in me, I just need to concentrate real hard to use them.”
“I want you to be yourself, Jax.”
“Are you using me as weapon against the dark lords?”
“As a matter of fact, I am. I want you to be at your best.”
“Can I call you baby?” He asked with a bright white smile.
“You better.”
“Can I smack your ass in front of them?”
I nodded. “And when they aren’t around.”
His hand landed on my thigh and I refused to move it. This was what I wanted. It was what I needed. This is what real couples did. It made me happy.”
“Can we make out at the dinner table?”
“I wouldn’t recommend it.”
“Can we get loud and freaky and pretend we’re getting it on in the middle of the night? Can we skinny dip in your pool? Do you even have a pool?”
“We do have a pool, and a pool house that’s my dad’s office when he works from home. You really want me naked, don’t you?”
Jax looked at me really quick while he drove. “I want Amber naked, not Charisma. I just want to be with you, naked or not, and don’t you dare tell anyone I said that. I know I sound like a pussy. You’ve got me by the balls, woman. I’m going crazy.”
“You sound like the perfect boyfriend. Keep talking like that and I’ll owe you a lot more favors.”
“I think the friend card is out the window.”
“Well I think we can have the best of both worlds.” Our hands laced together and I knew we were on the same page. “Our friendship is what drew me in. You probably knew that all along. This was your plan wasn’t it?”
“I’m not going to lie. I was willing to do anything.”
“And now?” I asked.
“And now I want all of you.”
After our conversation I rested my head on Jax’s shoulder for the rest of the ride. I thought about us being a couple, and couldn’t find any reason why it shouldn’t happen. Sure, we were both broken for different reasons, but when we were together it was like we could heal. My draw to him wasn’t just emotional anymore. I physically longed for his touch, and everything else that came with it. When he said he wanted me I wasn’t scared. I was eager. That’s how I knew I was ready to give him all of me.
Pulling up at my parent’s house soured my mood. I think
once we hit the neighborhood Jax was a little shocked. The country club was filled with cars, and there were several times we had to stop and let the golfers cross the road as they traveled to the next playing hole. “It’s just back there, Jax. The one on the water.”
In a cul-de-sac all by itself, my parent’s home sat, looking exactly the same as when I’d last been there, except for the for sale sign in the front yard.
“This place is nice. You didn’t tell me how rich you were.”
“I’m not. They are. It’s a huge difference.” I was doing my best to keep calm, even though inside I felt like falling apart. As soon as the car stopped I was beginning to panic. Jax took my hand and brought it up to his lips. “Are you ready for this, friend?”
“Friend?” I cocked my brow, curious to what he meant.
“Partner? Goddess? Woman of my dreams? I can keep going.”
I smiled. “I get the point. I’m just nervous.”
He clenched my hand. “Don’t worry. I won’t let them be assholes. Just say the word and we’ll go home.”
“I’m saying it right now.”
“Amber, we agreed.”
I nodded. “You’re right. I know I have to face them.”
The front door opened and I saw my mother coming outside. She was dressed to the nine, even wearing classy heals that she probably paid a fortune for. Her wave made me want to cringe, because I knew she was silently wishing I wouldn’t have showed up. When she noticed me in the passenger seat, and that I’d brought someone with me, I think she was as shocked as Jax. “You didn’t tell them I was coming did you?”
“No. Come on. She’ll expect us to walk halfway to her.”
“Oh, this is going to be good. Stay put.” Jax jumped out of the car and came around to my side. He opened the door for me, and held out his hand for me to take, winking when our eyes met. I wanted to laugh at him acting so courteous, but knew he was doing it on purpose for my mom’s benefit.
We walked hand in hand coming to a stop in front of the woman who gave me life. She awkwardly reached out and hugged me. “I wasn’t expecting you so early. You’re father isn’t home yet.”
