When they finished in the grass, they dressed each other slowly. Jax’s hands seemed to memorize every curve of her fine flesh. Not that there was any need. Now, after all this time, she was finally his. But she was with him. She wanted his body burned into her brain. Any dark day that might lie ahead would be sustained if they had the image to fall back on, to fantasize about until they knew each other again. And that would be soon enough.
“I’m taking you home,” he said as he walked her towards his bike.
“Just like that?”
Jax was quick to take her back into his arms as he moaned against her neck. “So you’ll be warm and safe while you wait for me,” he promised.
“Oh!”
“Not letting you go a second time,” Jax said. “I’m with you now. We can stay here. Or I can take you back to school.”
“Told you that’s not really an option right now,” she reminded him.
“Then we’ll go wherever you want,” he continued. “Want a preview right now?”
“I’ll go anywhere with you.”
His bike enticed her to a place where she wanted nothing more than to feel the wind whipping through her hair as she clasped him close and nuzzled his neck.
“Let’s ride,” she said.
Curling close to his body, the motor revved under their legs, and Jax pushed away from the creek as he turned back slowly to kiss her lips.
“Shouldn’t you keep your eyes on the road?” she asked.
“Know every corner of this town,” he said. “And I’d much rather look at you.”
She playfully slapped the back of his head and forced his stare front as she fell into his back. Hearing his heart as they moved through the streets, Lena hoped he would come to a stop and stay at her side. Uncle Tom had to be out cold, and it would be nothing to creep up the stairs to her room and take him again in a warm, concealed place. The feel of his cock still lingered in her pussy, and she wanted to get back to him, inside him, and feel him slipping under a sheet as he promised to stay and have no need to see to anything else.
“Let me help you off,” he said. Like always, he walked her to the door. This time he kissed her hard and swirled his arms around her waist.
Lena stretched up to kiss him deeper and hold his neck under her arms. “Stay,” she pleaded. “Or let’s go together right now. I can pack a few things, and we’ll head out.”
“You would really do it, wouldn’t you?”
Lena nodded fast, and she kissed him again as he held her closer and moaned into her hair.
“Tell me you’re not scared anymore.”
Peering deeply into his eyes, Lena smiled and stroked his cheeks. “No,” she said. “Never again. But if you go…”
“My Lena.” Jax took her back into his arms and kissed her brow. “Not going anywhere else without you. He started to pull away when Lena held him close. She smiled into his neck and sighed at the feel of his hands on her back when he gently pushed her back and lowered his head. “Cutting old ties right now,” he said. “Would like to kill him.”
Lena shuddered and clasped him closer. “Please don’t risk that,” she said. “I can’t lose you again.”
“Same goes for me, my Lena.”
My Lena. His Lena. “That’s all I ever wanted to be,” she said.
“And here I thought that you just liked having lunch with me,” he teased. “We’ll do breakfast when I get back.”
Kissing her slowly, his lips lingering, Lena held him tight and kissed his face, stopping at his ears as her voice trembled in a low murmur. “And you will come back?” she asked.
Jax patted her face and smiled into her eyes. “Nothing can stop us now,” he said. “Will you wait?”
Lena kissed his neck and clasped him close. The feeling of his heart pounding against her ear made her never want to let him go, but she reluctantly released him, Jax’s hand still in hers as started off the porch. “I’ll wait,” she promised. “But you better come back.”
He laughed as he stretched forward to kiss her again. As his lips left her mouth, he shot her a smile and winked. “Before you know it,” he said. “Because I love you, Lena.”
Her heart still buzzed at the sound of those words, and smiled into his eyes. “I love you more.”
Watching him ride off with a wave of his hand over his shoulder, Lena held herself her close, her body buzzing under her own touch. He loved her now. He always had. And she trusted his word when he said that he would come back.
