Chapter Twenty-Three
(Chloe)
“What happened?” I had spoken before Jax had barely gotten through the front door. Relief flooded my eyes. Whatever had occurred, at least, Jax was alive.
“You’re looking at the new President of the Black Devils’ MC,” Jax said, without a smile.
“Holy shit! Where’s Dino?” I asked.
Jax didn’t respond.
As the front door to Dinos’ apartment closed behind Jax, my gaze moved restlessly over his body. “Jax, you’ve got blood all over your shirt! Whose is it? Is it yours? Or, is it somebody else’s?” I asked, hurriedly.
Jax shook his head. “I’m ok. Dino’s ok.” he said, unbuttoning his blood stained shirt.
“So you got Antonio? Tell me Antonio is dead.” My eyes studied his face but he kept his expression blank. Like he was desperate not to feel. Not to feel the terror and worry I felt inside.
Jax nodded. “Yep, he got what he deserved. He’s dead and can’t do shit now.”
“So, we’re safe now?”
“The thing is, a sniper shot Bruno through the widow during the vote. He’s ok. But my guess is somebody just declared war on me and my MC. I have an idea who it was but I never saw his face.” Jax shrugged, his voice grave.
“It was Jumper. It had to be, Jax. Jumper wants us dead. And my mom’s life is in jeopardy too, I just know it,” I reminded him.
“I don’t want you to worry, I’ve got Dino tracking the shooter, and Ill fix protection for your mom.”
“Jax—”
“Don’t worry, Chloe. You’ve got me and I’ve got my brothers to protect you two. No man will hurt you or your mother, ok?”
I stared into his emerald green eyes, searching for any hint of worry. Any hint that he wouldn’t be able to keep himself, me, or my mother safe. But right now, Jax was impossible to read. “Jumper is deadly, Jax. He is bound to come after us. When he does, he’ll shoot us in a heartbeat.” I pointed out, knowing that I had already cheated death once by getting out of that hellhole alive.
“We’re done talking about that for now.” He shook his head and gazed at the floor. He looked tired. Exhausted.
“Well, I need to see my mother first thing in the morning. Threat or no threat, her fiancé has just been killed. She needs me right now,” I insisted.
“No!” Jax snapped. He swung around to face me. “Jumper will be looking for you. Here, you are safe. In my world, we plan for this shit. This apartment isn’t even rented in Dino’s name for that very reason. But the moment you set foot out there, you’re asking for it.”
If his words weren’t enough, the severity of his gaze told me that my life depended on it. I swallowed hard and told him, “We can’t hide forever.” Still looking into his eyes, I asked him the question I had been asking myself since I’d been rescued, “What are we going to do when Jumper catches up with us?”
Jax offered me no answer.
The pitch of my voice dropped an octave. “Tell me why you were at the docks so long. What were you doing? Why didn’t you shoot Antonio the moment you saw him and come right back here? Tell me what really happened, Jax,” I said, all business.
He stepped toward me but didn’t respond.
“I need to know that you will be able to keep us safe. Answer me,” I hissed, in fury.
Jaxs’ eyes steadied on mine with a look I’d seen before. He knew what he wanted. “No more questions,” he declared, making my heart jump as he moved toward me.
His large body was close to mine as he stared down into my eyes that were about to well into tears. I knew it would be a mistake to let him put his hands on me. I put two hands on his chest and shoved him. His body didn’t move. Jax placed his hands around my shoulders. The sensation of his palms on my clothes seemed to seer through to my skin. Whatever it was that his touch did to me; it was like a powerful aphrodisiac.
I breathed in deeply. His scent filled my lungs and I got light headed for a moment. My mouth watered and I closed my eyes.
“Open your eyes,” he demanded. “I want to see your eyes.”
I opened them and showed him the desire I felt. His eyes softened and I could read the same desire in them.
So much had happened over the past few days I didn’t know if I could trust anybody or anything around me but when I looked into his eyes I knew I could trust this. I knew I could trust what we had, Jax and me. “I want you, Jax,” I bluntly told him.
“You got me babe,” he whispered as he nibbled my neck. His hands pushed my shirt up so he could fondle by breasts. I moaned as my blood began to heat. When his lips hovered over the pulse in my neck, I knew he could feel my heart pounding in my chest. “No, you don’t understand… I need you, I need you right now, deep inside me scratching an itch I can’t reach. I need you to fuck me hard and deep.”
Jax groaned and at my words and ground his hard cock into my belly. “You want this? You want my cock in your pussy?”
I couldn’t help it—it was true and his dirty talk made me even more breathless. “Oh god, yesss…”
Jax picked me up and carried me to the bedroom. Slamming the door shut with his foot, he threw me on the bed then came down over me. Grabbing the hem of my shirt, he ripped it apart, buttons flying all over the room.
My bare breasts were exposed and Jax didn’t wait for an invitation. His hands and his lips clamped down on my warm skin. His teeth dragged over my nipples and when he bit down on my hard bud, I moaned in pleasure. He growled and rubbed his rock hard cock against my thigh. “I hope you’re ready because I can’t wait to fuck you,” he whispered against my neck while his hands pulled my jeans and underwear from my body. “It was all I thought about on the ride back here. Being in you.” Pushing my clothing away, his fingers pressed my mound and he groaned when he felt how wet I was.
He rubbed his cock between the lips of my pussy, caressing his silky tip across my button, up and back, again and again, allowing my wetness to coat his cock head.
It was driving me crazy as I panted to his lips.
Smothering my mouth and ramming his tongue in at the same time, he slammed his cock inside me. My walls closed around him and my legs wrapped around his waist as I screamed out. But not in pain, in extreme, intense pleasure. Each stroke went deep in me, invading places I never knew existed before. Wrapping my legs around his waist, I hung on for the ride.
He unwrapped my legs and opened them wide. His powerful body slid back then forward, plunging his cock deeply into me as he commanded, “Look at me. I want to see your eyes when I fuck you.”
I opened my eyes and saw my reflexion in his orbs. I saw raging desire and possession on his face. I’d never seen him so fierce, so focused on me. Each thrust was raw and almost brutal but I didn’t mind. My body didn’t mind either, in fact my body reveled in the feelings he churned up inside me.
“You belong to me Chloe,” he told me as he thrust inside my pussy, filling me. “I think you’ve belonged to me since I first saw you as a child.”
“You’re not my dad,” I reminded him in a breathless whisper.
“No I’m not your dad,” Jax agreed. “But you belong to me all the same now. You gave me your body and I’m going to keep it. I’m going to keep you.”
I groaned and could feel myself getting close. “I think I’m going to come,” I whispered breathlessly.
“Good, I’m gonna make you come so hard the whole world will know who you belong too.” Jax ramped up his rhythm. His hips thrusted harder his cock possessing my pussy that was clamped down on him. Tingles zinged along my nerve endings and I knew it wouldn’t be long before Jax exploded inside me.
His finger drifted down my belly and reached for my button. Just one touch was all it took. My body shattered in that instant. My face tightened as if I was in great pain but he knew better. My mouth opened, yet no sound came out of my throat.
Leaning over, he covered my mouth with his own. Again, his tongue was matching the thrusts of his cock. My core clamped down on him even tighter and then he flew over the edge. “Chloe,” he called out my name against my trembling lips.
“Jax…” I called out hoarsely as he finished bringing me off. A bead of sweat rolled down my body to pool and mix with the sweat of his body. It was hard to tell where he stopped and I began. His weight pushed me down into the mattress and for a moment, I loved it, then he moved off me.
He didn’t go far though; he slid into place right beside me. He reached up and his fingers brushed a strand of sweaty hair away from my forehead. Cupping my chin, he pulled my face toward his.
Jax leaned closer and kissed me gently as his expression softened. “I’ve got you.”
